In our quest to understand things as quickly as possible, we often sacrifice a complete understanding. There does come a point of diminishing returns, when the additional benefit does not justify the cost of pursuit. It’s a classic case of marginal utility.
But when it comes to the higher-minded concepts of Social Networking and Privacy, are we as focused as we need to be on the moving parts instead of just the face of the clock?
Let’s take Twitter as an example. It’s the world’s dumbest waste of time, except for those who have figured out how it makes them smarter. It’s a stupid collection of bad day paeans and ham sandwich ennui. Yet it’s also an engine for connecting people with one another, and sharing information through networks pre-lubricated by trust.
Well, when you put it that way, it sounds awesome. And it can be, when people focus on what the technology does instead of how people are using it.
What Twitter does is bring real-time to everywhere. The distance that separates us reduced, entire dimensions fold in on themselves and hide between status lines. The world is a smaller place.
In my Twitter evolution, I’ve found myself using a variety of tools and strategies for meeting the needs of the time. And certainly the size and diversity (or lack thereof) of your network can have profound impact on what you can do, and what your optimal use case might be. Once I figured out some ways Twitter could benefit me professionally, I was able to see past ham sandwiches and focus on the delivery of value.
Foursquare’s Ham Sandwich Problem.
The next budding network lurking on the horizon of mainstream consciousness is Foursquare. And right now, the traffic on it is painfully pedestrian. It’s a location-aware network, which is a fancy way to say it collects geographic data instead of just letters and numbers.
If you look at Foursquare now, you’d write it off as – at best – a gigantic waste of time; and – at worst – an open invitation to the world to invade your privacy (if not your unoccupied residence.) And you’d be right. Most of the “players” of Foursquare think of it as anything other than a silly game. Ask a user what Foursquare is about, and they will almost blush with embarrassment as they explain it.
“Um… Well… You go to places and then you open the app and check in, and if you check in more than anyone else, you become Mayor!”
“Really, the Mayor?”
“…and if you’re lucky, the owner of the restaurant will give you a discount or a coupon if you’re mayor!”
You probably just blushed while reading that.
Ask most people, and they’ve never heard of it.
Ask people who’ve even used it, and they can’t explain it.
And if you can’t adequately describe what it does, how are you supposed to come up with new and clever ways of exploiting it?
FourSquare’s Ham Sandwich Solution.
Where Foursquare excels is in using physical space to help segregate the information you can act upon from the information that is just noise.
If I go to a deli in Cleveland and have a ham sandwich that transcends food and becomes a life-altering experience, I would want to tell the world about it. And you can do that now on Facebook or Twitter:
“I just had a ham sandwich that changed my world forever at a little dive called Maury’s!”
But if you are four states away, that doesn’t help you. And I seriously doubt you will remember Maury’s five months later when fate brings you to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
What Foursquare then delivers is a compression of time instead of space. Where Twitter is all about everything happening in the now, Foursquare provides a way to sort through everything that has happened in the where. And there are many occasions where the where is even more important than the when.
Here are a couple of easy ways Foursquare could be making real money:
FourSquare plays ball
MLB and NFL venues could use it to promote badges for significant milestones, like “Was there for Manning’s record TD pass.” It’s easy enough, and it would create a real buzz about being there for events. 60,000 people may be seated in the stadium, but 600,000 will claim it later. FourSquare would provide the proof.
All it would take is an easier way to create Events – essentially a marriage of the When and the Where information already stored.
Checkpoints on the Cheap
Imagine what FourSquare could do if it simply offered a premium white-labeled service for companies that needed verification.
A private security firm could create its own secure and closed Squarish community. It could invite its clients to join as well, so they could be just a log-in away from seeing how often the patrols were where they ought to be. The guards would simply check in through the familiar technology, offering peace of mind.
Companies could use the white-labeled geo-tagging innovation for any number of internal purposes. Flag important information about the areas where crew members travel. Could be safety-related, could be client related. Makes it easy to post, and the information would only be retrieved at the time when you’re in the exact location where it is relevant.
Again, it’s not what people are already doing with the technology. It’s what they could be doing with it. If you can step back and look at a tool for what it is instead of what it is doing, you can become an essential resource for your company.

How Do I Check or Reserve a Name for a New Business Venture in Pennsylvania?
Being a business owner remains part of the “American Dream” for many people. If you are planning to become an entrepreneur you will need to make a number of important decisions regarding your new business in the near future. One of the most important decisions you will make is deciding on a name for your business. The right name, after all, can be an extremely important asset to a fledgling business. Unfortunately though, you are not free to pick any name you wish for your business because someone else may have already chosen the name you have settled on for your business. To find out if your chosen name is available you need to know how to check or reserve a name for a new business venture in Pennsylvania.
The name you choose for your business should be a decision that is only made after careful and thoughtful consideration, After all, assuming your business is a success, the name you choose will be associated with your business for many years to come. The right name can tell people much about your business whereas the wrong name can lead to confusion or lack of interest on the part of potential clients of customers.
If you plan to incorporate your business you will be required to conduct a name search prior to submitting your incorporation documents. Even if you do not plan to incorporate your business you may still wish to register your chosen name so that no one else may use it. In the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania name searches as well as registering a business name is done through the Department of State, or DOS. The first step is to conduct a name search on the
DOS’s website to determine if the name you wish to use, or a similar name, is already in use. The name search will tell you if any other business is already using your chosen name, or one that is substantially similar to yours. If the name is already in use it will tell you whether it is being used by an active corporation, an inactive corporation, or has simply been registered as a fictitious name by a non-incorporated business.
Once you settle on a name that is not currently being used you can then register that name with the DOS. Registering the name, however, only gives your rights to the name. It does not incorporate your business or otherwise form a legal business entity. To do that you must officially incorporate, form a partnership, or establish another type of structure for your business. Although you can submit incorporation documents through the DOS and Department of Labor and Industry websites, it is best to consult with an experienced Pennsylvania business law attorney first to ensure that you have completed the documents correctly and that you have not omitted an important step in the formation of your business.
If you need assistance with forming a business, or simply wish to discuss your business entity options, contact an experienced Conshohocken, Pennsylvania business law attorney as soon as possible. Contact the business law attorneys at Curley & Rothman, LLC by calling 610-834-8819 today to schedule your free consultation.

Thoughts on a day Bobcats free agent Gerald Henderson wisely went fishing...
Gerald Henderson went fishing Thursday. I know that because he sent out a tweet, and the water was a beautiful blue.
I mention that to illustrate that Henderson isn’t sweating this whole free-agent dance. Perhaps the rest of us should take a cue from that. Five thoughts on where Henderson’s restricted free-agency might be headed:
THE BOBCATS WANT HIM BACK: They are wary of overpaying, but there’s no doubt they value him. Sometimes the Bobcats get a bad rap for not making an effort to retain their free agents. They offered more to Raymond Felton and D.J. Augustin than either of those two got in the contracts they signed upon leaving the Bobcats.
TIME MIGHT BE ON THE BOBCATS’ SIDE: It’s my experience the longer restricted free-agency plays out the more likely it is the player is back with his team, at least on the qualifying offer.
Offer sheets – particularly the successful ones that change a player’s team – tend to come quickly into July. Then money dries up in a way that corrects the market.
EXPLORING OPTIONS: Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports – a terrific sportswriter – reported early Thursday morning that the Bobcats were exploring potential sign-and-trade options regarding Henderson. That’s correct. But be careful about overstating how important, much less ominous, that sounds.
If the Bobcats weren’t exploring their options, then that’s when there should be a fan outcry. Making a deal that would be good for three parties – the Bobcats, a trade partner and Henderson – is a complicated process that can fall apart easily.
ELLIS? Would the Bobcats consider ending up with free agent Monta Ellis as an alternative to Henderson? Yes, hypothetically. But the guy already turned down an extension from the Milwaukee Bucks that would have paid him about $12 million a season. That’s reason to think twice.
OTHER FACTORS: Ben Gordon is a sizeable expiring contract if someone wants to trim future payroll. Jeff Taylor is someone the Bobcats hope evolves into an impactful player.

The Bobcats have no guards taller than 6'3" and only one true shooting guard on the roster (Gordon). Where is the perimeter defense going to come from?
Posted by: Airbrush87 | Jul 12, 2013 1:56:20 AM
T-Wolves is the team wanting Henderson LET HIM GO,,Horncats are better now anyway..
Posted by: JC | Jul 12, 2013 2:54:14 AM
I also read that Chicago is going to try to make a trade for Ellis. so it's going to come down to ATL, SAC, CHA, CHI..read dallas was done shopping for backcourt players.
Posted by: JC | Jul 12, 2013 3:01:00 AM
The BOBcats get a bad rap because players who become free agents want out of the BOBasylum so badly they take less money to go elsewhere.
How about that Whitfield Hoopty Golf Tourney?
"Fred" shows up in a white tee-shirt, Fred Sanford would have been embarrassed. Moses has on a dress, who knows what altered Two Tall's mind before he got that tattoo?
Next year call it The Idiot Invitational. Too bad the old Eastwood course has closed, that would be the prefect place to host it.
And "Fred" has a TOP Job with Air Min?!?!?!

Hey NASTAR99 NO DISRESPECT the other night man,,,I enjoy your and Charlotean opinions..Yall keep this blog moving.
Posted by: JC | Jul 12, 2013 3:21:45 AM
I'm OK if Henderson leaves because he is not a building block. The team desperately needs more outside shooting from this position in order to stretch defenses.
Posted by: buckshot jenkins | Jul 12, 2013 7:00:57 AM
Nice NASTAR. Fred Whitfield puts on a charity event and a camp that allows over 200 underprivilidged kids to take part for free and you insult him? I know because I volunteered at both. He was going back and forth from the camp to the tournament all day. Very disappointing comments to say the least. I guess his attire is more important than the community work he was doing.
Posted by: Don | Jul 12, 2013 7:16:19 AM
Gerald Henderson is a backup Shooting Guard. If MJ wants to give Hendo $5 Million per, Gerald should appreciate it and enjoy live as a rotation player coming off the bench. If Gerald thinks he is worth more than that, he needs to check his ego at the door.
Henderson will NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER be an All-Star player. Monta Ellis IS a perennial All-Star. The Hornets will target Shooting Guard next year with their number 1 pick in 2014, as this is their weak link. Everyone knows it.
Posted by: No More Seatcushions? | Jul 12, 2013 7:40:40 AM
In the 2014 NBA Draft, the Hornets will target the Harrison Twins from Kentucky, PJ Hairston from UNC, Marcus Smart from Oklahoma St, Gary Harris from Michigan State, and possibly even Mario Hezonja from Croatia.
As for the 2014 free agency period, neither Kobe Bryant or Dwayne Wade are coming to Charlotte (they would not consider it), and outside of Thabo Sefolosha, it is slim pickings here. Flash Gordon comes off the books after this year and I seriously doubt he will stick around for minimum money (he has had his last fat pay day).
I said the Bobcats should go after Al Jefferson, and they did. Next, I will inform you that Gerald Henderson, even if he sticks around, will NOT be a NBA starter after this year. The closest he will ever get to an All-Star Game is to watch it on TV. Hendo is a rotation player and can easily be replaced. Former Bobcats Shannon Brown, Jared Dudley, or even J Rich would be an upgrade over Henderson.
Know your place, Gerald Henderson, or you will find out what it is like to hop from team-to-team.
Posted by: No More Seatcushions? | Jul 12, 2013 7:50:02 AM
Because oƒ the time ƒactor he will probably stay put and be a big help this coming season. I see the Bobcats/Hornets doing much better than "experts" think. Good young players and an exceptional coaching staƒƒ.
Posted by: jiminmaine | Jul 12, 2013 8:09:31 AM
When you see nastar post its always ALWAYS going to be negative, have BOBcats in it or BOOBcats guess it depends on how he feels that day...I haven't seen air mininum in a while...I wonder what joke its going to be when we change to the hornets? HORnuts possibly? Its like those guys who always say scam when they refer to cam newton,.can't take the post to serious...
Posted by: freeze8575 | Jul 12, 2013 8:30:10 AM
seat cushion....let me sit for a minute....
when was monta ellis ever an all star let alone a perennial all star as you described him?
Posted by: charlottean | Jul 12, 2013 8:42:26 AM
Gerald will eventually sign the QO and be back with the team next season for $4.2M. Next season he will enter unrestricted free agency.
We will draft his replacement in next years draft.
Posted by: Season Ticket Holder | Jul 12, 2013 8:44:28 AM
For those of you that are bashing Henderson, you obviously didn't watch any of their games. I challenge you to go back and look at his game logs. The last 3 months, he and Walker were arguably the best back court in the league. He is a solid defender and has an improved outside game. I think we would be getting great value is we gave him a 5yr/25mil contract. It's hard to become an All-Star in this league when your team can't break .500 winning pct. I'm all for signing Hendo and look forward to seeing Walker/Hendo/MKG/Zeller/Jefferson on the court together.
Posted by: Matt | Jul 12, 2013 8:46:53 AM
Thanks Freeze. To bad people are so cynical especially around something like this. Team peformance, players, coaching. I understand that. But criticizing someone on how they are dressed while conducting charitable work? That is really sad. I wonder how that person gave back yesterday? Probably can make something up and say he was well dressed while doing it. But everyone knows the truth. Some people are just bad people. No way around it I guess.
Posted by: Don | Jul 12, 2013 9:08:21 AM
Seat cushion .. You have to be an idiot . Ellis is garbage . He's a volume shooter , undersized , selfish and can't play defense . Henderson averaged 19 a game when healthy and plays lock down defense . You have to be pretty stupid if you think that's a role of a bench player . He's a triple threat in dribble drives , getting to the line , mid range n post up . Only 7 players averaged over 20 points last yr . Learn bb.
Posted by: Iron man | Jul 12, 2013 9:11:48 AM
Matt: I'm in total agreement with you. I do think we could shorten the contract in years and offer up to $6.5-7.5M for 3 years and a 4th at the player's option.
I really enjoyed Henderson's leadership presence and attitude with so many kids on this team the last two years. He was exceptional after the All-Star break. He plays extremely hard and his game is a pleasure to watch. He wants to win (and it shows) and it would be most enjoyable to see him do even better this year (improved every year in the league)and it coincide with a winning basketball team.
If we sign Hendo and the team avoids the injury bug, this team will win 37-42 games this year. I figured on 29-35 before Big Al was signed.
Lock him up and let's see if he can remain a starter and if not, fine, he'd be a great 6th man. Last time I checked, every good to great NBA team had at least 3-4 very solid bench players and he certainly fits that bill. Sign HENDO and let's start gelling!
Posted by: Murdock | Jul 12, 2013 9:14:01 AM
Hey NASTAR. Nice Fred Sanford comment you racist POS. Could not find anything else to comapre him? Go F yourself. Nice to know you are ignorant about basketball, hate the Bobcats and a racist. Spare me the weak explanation.
Posted by: Thomas | Jul 12, 2013 9:30:34 AM
NASTAR nailed it. What a pathetic "celebrity" tournament.
Sad to see Rivera out there, b guilt is the only reason he showed.
I am ok with signing henderson, don't overpay though.
Posted by: big gulps | Jul 12, 2013 9:48:37 AM
^^^OK NASTAR. Don't pretend there a white sheeters out there to support your cause. I have something big you can gulp. What an effing POS you are.
Posted by: Thomas | Jul 12, 2013 9:58:05 AM
I know it's early on.....and a lot of things can change in 12 months.......but as it stands now......there aren't any legit shooting guard prospects in the top 25 or 30 of next year's draft except aaron harrison and a few euro prospects that do not figure to be coming over any time soon based on their age and current contracts.
and these are the great talents that will be free agents next summer:
avery bradley (who will probably stay put)
lance stephenson (again, probably staying put unless we overpay)
sefolosha (again, probably staying put)
evan turner (restricted)
gordon hayward (restricted)
so yeah....let's keep all of that in mind when we're talking "let henderson walk, we can replace him easily".
unless you think jeff taylor is NO DOUBT better than henderson, there's no reason to let henderson walk. at all. barring a major trade.
and so we're all clear....eric gordon's and his injuries and max contract would probably easily be available for henderson and expiring. could not imagine that being a good idea either but I like it more than ellis. i like evan turner more than both. minny has nothing to offer us unless it's schved and 2014 1st. otherwise......noooo way.
for all the screaming for an upgrade.......show me where the upgrade is available. it's hard to upgrade from a top 15 SG when the top 7 or 8 are untouchable and the other few in front of hendo are way overpaid or horrible fits for the team.
let's be realistic about the options there.
Posted by: charlottean | Jul 12, 2013 10:02:13 AM
let me note.....regarding the draft.....p.j. hairston will probably be a mid-late 1st rounder and I think he's an absolute NBA talent. not too many other college guys poised for breakout years at the 2 guard spot.
Posted by: charlottean | Jul 12, 2013 10:29:34 AM
sign and trade options don't look good as far as t=wolves are involved. who do they have other than the players they just signed..Martin,Pekovic,Brewer,LOVE,Rubio,Williams who has been mentioned several times..I don't want any of the T wolves..
Posted by: JC | Jul 12, 2013 10:30:28 AM
they have dieng, brown, schved, and 3 2014 2nd rounders. their 1st rounder is top 13 protected but going to phoenix otherwise. they would have to give up every asset they have to even get in the conversation and it's still not that enticing. but it would be wayyyy better than letting henderson walk.
Posted by: charlottean | Jul 12, 2013 10:49:26 AM
you got to look at their past,,I was a big Felton fan. Bobcats usually re-sign the wrong players,,Carroll,Thomas,Okafor,, Gerald Wallace is only exception and they overpaid for him..
Posted by: JC | Jul 12, 2013 11:09:35 AM
Being Wallace back.......Jason Kidd was gone let him bring the ball up in Brooklyn! Put him at the two........he he big threes in the playoff against Chicago! And he play defense!
Posted by: Rock | Jul 12, 2013 11:17:21 AM
Derrick Williams TWolves contract is not that bad with a team option next year. Trade Henderson for Williams. They could probably still add Ellis if they want but I'd just go with Gordan\Williams\Sessions for now. Its up in the air what Williams can be but talent is there!
Posted by: Brian | Jul 12, 2013 11:18:42 AM
as much of a ballhog Gordon is and a liability on defense,,that might be our only option,,Gordon is probably going to show up this year, if he doesn't sour up the looker room 1st, he wants that new contract from someone...I don't watch the T-Wolves, but they said at the end of the season(TANKTIME)Williams put a string of decent games together..His rookie deal will be over soon..
Posted by: JC | Jul 12, 2013 11:31:08 AM
Another interesting option would be to try to wrestle Harrison Barnes away from Golden State. It might cost a #1 pick (from Portland) and Henderson but that pick is Top 12 protected anyway. Barnes played good in the playoffs and is 21. Star on the rise that can score. Plus they just signed Iggy so maybe they'd entertain it.
Posted by: Brian | Jul 12, 2013 11:47:51 AM
Paul George will be a restricted free agent next summer. He can play SG or SF. I say we target him as our SG. Offer max money. See if he takes it, whether the Pacers match.
Otherwise we could go after Chris Bosh. Play him and Zeller on the court at the same time, and you wouldn't need the outside shooting from our guard and small forward. We'd be getting it from our bigs.
You'd also be free, then, to swing Jefferson for a SG if you like. Or keep him and find a SG in the draft.
These moves all become possible if we don't overpay Henderson or another guard now. We could have up to 30 million in cap space next summer. And someone will want to get paid.
Posted by: Jeff | Jul 12, 2013 11:50:02 AM
Iron Man, you have to be brain damaged, with an IQ of 75!
If you think Gerald Henderson is anything more than a rotation player, you don't belong on this thread. Please, go back to bowling and NASCAR you phuckin' dope. Yeah, the entire NATION knows the value of these players, Ellis and Hendo, and they are all wrong about it...in your little mind. Sorry, but those who are NOT BIAS, who study these things and those who can objectively compare Shooting Guards ALL KNOW that Gerald Henderson is a scrub.
Now, if you want to take your 75 IQ, your inability to comprehend or read what the National Writers are saying about the comparisons, and form your own conclusions, that is entirely up to you. In fact, you probably believe that Michael Jordan was the greatest NBA player ever (which he wasn't...perhaps the best marketed NBA player of all time, though). You're the guy who has an Adam Morrison Fathead still on your wall, right next to Sean May.
Please, this Charlotte team is going to upgrade the Shooting Guard position, so Hendo knows his days as a starter are numbered.

Posted by: Me | Jul 12, 2013 1:09:08 PM
Anyone ever notice how Charlottean defends ever Charlotte Bobcat player, exclaiming that they are simply awesome?
Anyone ever look at the Bobcats record? 250 Wins, 476 Losses
Yet, we should always say our Bobcat players are the best, right Charlottean? Well, when you win some NBA Titles, please come back to me. Sure, I am a Charlotte NBA fan, but I don't go off saying this team is great. It had one decent, winning season in existence.
Gerald Henderson on any other team would simply be a backup player. Notice that no one is beating down the door to sign him?
Posted by: No More Seatcushions? | Jul 12, 2013 1:43:32 PM
yeah you obviously never read too good because i only defend the few guys we've had worth keeping.
you shouldn't be allowed to talk until monta ellis becomes an all-star.
and yeezus christ west there is NO EFFING WAY that indiana isn't going to match every offer for paul george. they have granger coming off the books right in time to give george max money. yeah so let's target a guy that there's absolutely no effing way we can ever get. great strategy.
harrison barnes? golden state is NOT trading that dude for anything less than an elite talent. playing derrick williams at the 2? i swear we have the dumbest fan base in the league.
for the henderson detractors screaming for an upgrade. please name a reasonable upgrade option that we have. please. NAME the options.
seat cushion, be quiet, he's still not an all-star.
Posted by: charlottean | Jul 12, 2013 1:54:59 PM
Fine. If Indiana wants to give George max money, we take Stephenson for 7 per year instead. I would much rather him at that price than Henderson at more. Or even the same. Stephenson is the superior defender. Has much more big game experience, and the ability to score in bunches. He would score way more on Bobcats than he does for Indiana.
Posted by: Jeff | Jul 12, 2013 2:09:16 PM
I wouldn't mind having stephenson either, but I would imagine they keep him also. He might leave for BIG money, but that mid level money, they'll probably match.
Either that or they'll deal him at the deadline this year......if we resign henderson, that might be a deal we could make happen. but not if we let him walk like the idiot crowd is clamoring for. henderson will ALWAYS be tradeable.
indiana has 30.4 million for 2014-15 committed to hibbert, hill, green, mahinmi, and plumlee. add in 12 for west, 1 for johnson, something like 2 for watson, 14 for george, that totals to just under 60 for 9 players. makes it tough to see them giving 7 million to stephenson, but not impossible. they could easily dump gerald green between now and then.
they won't go over the tax but you're talking at least 71 million. 7 million to stephenson plus 3 minimum contracts doesn't put them over even if they had to keep green which I doubt they have to.
not likely we can land stephenson at all. not without resigning henderson and trading him at the deadline and that would probably require stephenson either playing himself into a 10 million a year type deal or playing himself into the doghouse where indiana doesn't even want him anymore.
think about these things logically and you'll see why it's so important we resign henderson. the options for us are just not out there for this season or next. after that? sure, maybe. but you're talking 2 full seasons.

Nastar and l'll Jeff........2 Redneck nascar racists with no basketball knowledge.
Posted by: 3pt expert | Jul 12, 2013 2:25:14 PM
By the way, in a recent interview, Larry Bird, again running the Pacers, has said that the team will not pay the luxury tax because they can't afford it.
So even after Granger comes off the books, there is no way the Pacers can afford to keep Hibbert, West, and Hill AND fill out the roster AND re-sign Stephenson and George who are both restricted free agents in 2014. Make a play for both of them, drive up the cost for George, then sign Stephenson to one of these front or backloaded contracts that the Pacers can't afford to match.
Then we can get Stephenson for a salary averaged out to around 7 or 8 million. Done. Whatever you think of Henderson, he has almost zero big game experience. A team needs guys who have gone deep in the playoffs. You always need one of those guys.
That alone gives Stephenson added value over Henderson even if you assume they are about equal otherwise. But I think most basketball diehards would prefer Stephenson anyway because of his defensive ability and scoring potential.
Look at what happened January 12, 2013 head-to-head. Stephenson scored 17 points on on 8-13 from the field and 1-3 from three. He also pulled down 7 rebounds, grabbed 4 steals, had 2 assists, and a block against Henderson. Henderson, meanwhile, shot a respectable 6-12 from the field, but a lower percentage than Stephenson, which was good for only 12 points (5 less) while going 0-1 from 3 with 2 rebounds (5 less), 3 assists (1 more), 0 steals (4 less), 0 blocks (1 less) and 3 turnovers (1 more) in a Bobcats loss.
So, yeah, I'd rather the guy who is better on the boards, better on defense, as good or better from the field, and who has more big game, bright lights experience.
Where is the debate?
Posted by: Jeff | Jul 12, 2013 2:33:54 PM
I think stephenson has a slight advantage on henderson talent and ability and a clear ego advantage that leads me to believe he could be bigger than he's supposed to be. but he also has that wild card to him where he's not exactly the smartest guy either.
that all said, I broke down above how indiana CAN afford to do all of those things AND stay below the tax.
so if stephenson is the target what are we talking? sign and trade for henderson NOW? can't do it unless we include granger or green or some other parts to keep indiana under the tax for this year while still moving henderson. not a likely deal.
so we're going to let henderson walk now.........so that we can target stephenson Next summer?! he's a restricted free agent. they could resign him, they could trade him, he could just not want to come here, etc. etc. etc.
the better scenario would be resign henderson now. try to trade for stephenson, and if not, still go after him next summer. if you get stephenson you either have henderson as your 6th man or you can trade him.
but you don't let henderson walk now under the highly unlikely assumption that you will land stephenson next summer without grossly overpaying for him.
so yes we can make a run at stephenson but it isn't a LIKELY scenario. name another.

Look, I've said before, sign Henderson now if it's for the right money, but I'm starting to think that's about 5-6 million per year. After that, yes, I'd rather lose Henderson or trade him for a couple of second round picks, as you suggested.
If we had to let Henderson go, we get three bights at the apple.
1) Without Henderson we pick a spot or two lower in the draft with Gordon starting at SG (3 spots if you're correctly assessing Henderson's value). That probably lands us a 5-7 pick where, in this draft, we have a high probability of finding a guy as good as Henderson for much less money than 6 million per year.
2) We have a ton of cap space in free agency to go after Stephenson or Bosh or whomever we want. A guy like Stephenson in particular would appreciate the opportunity to be the top scoring option at the wing for us whereas he will always be second on the wing to George in Indiana. This increases his career value. I know you've crunched the Indiana numbers, but that goes out the window if we cobble one of those crazy Houston style deals where one of the years is for way more money but the average still comes out around 7-8.
3) Depending on our draft picks and free agency signings, we then have the option to trade a guy like Jefferson for a SG if need be, but I don't think it'll get that far.
Now I understand the Bobcat pessimism, but this is a Hornets team that could have almost 30 million in cap space without Henderson, Session, and Gordon on the books. We also play in a city that is much cooler and similar to New York (where Stephenson grew up and broke all kinds of scoring records while leading multiple city champs) than where he plays now. Guys will want to play here.
In general, I just don't share the pessimism about finding a replacement for Henderson if need be, particularly where we have all those draft picks, including our own which will only go up in value without Henderson.
So, yeah, give him 5 or six million if it comes to that. After that, let's go with my plan. Which is pretty damn solid.
Posted by: Jeff | Jul 12, 2013 3:35:48 PM
Oh, I forgot the fourth possibility. If Jeffrey Taylor got some of Henderson's minutes, should we lose him, there is a very real possibility Taylor could be the superior SG in two years if you factor in defense and three point shooting.
So sincerely, Charlottean, are you really so pessimistic to think we'll swing 0 for 4 and wind up without a suitable replacement at SG?
Posted by: Jeff | Jul 12, 2013 3:49:16 PM
I am not going to get into this Henderson argument. All I will say is this; looking at the Cat's record and how long Henderson has been playing for this team, it just does not match up to call him a great player. He is and will always be average.
Plug any decent athlete in the two spot position on this team and they will eventually score. The thing with Henderson is he does not know how or possibly cannot take his game to the next level.
And Iron Woman just described Kemba Walker when he was describing Ellis so I don't see what the big deal is. Dude is a moron calling Ellis garbage. The homerism in some of you is unbelievable.

i say 7. i don't see him being worth 8, but 7 seems reasonable for a guy of his caliber given redick and martin got that and then some.
1. too risky. you're leaving yourself exposed to come up empty dallas style. dallas showed you what can happen with cap room. and they already have a superstar, an established head coach, a championship, great owner, great city, etc. cap room is better than not, but you have to leverage that cap room into superstars.
2. i like the houston-style contract idea. that would make it more likely they wouldn't match, but again, you're assuming he would sign it. lin and asik both WANTED to go to houston. they wanted not just the money but the opportunity to start. stephenson is already starting on a contender. we would have to drastically overpay to get him to sign. or like I said, indiana would have to hate him by next summer.
3. i don't think jefferson will be all that tradeable. maybe down the road when his deal will be expiring, but right now? we overpaid the guy and there aren't any shooting guards in that price range that would get moved.
this is the pessimism......there are guys that are better than henderson. there aren't many. of those guys......most of them are in GREAT positions long term and aren't going anywhere. that's it, simply.
none of the scenarios listed above are hindered in any way by signing henderson now. you give him 7 a year for 4 years even ASSUMING he's the backup. he'll be a valuable asset as the 6th man, and or a constant trade chip. we still have like 18-20 million cap room going into next offseason even after signing henderson. his signing will NOT keep us from pulling off any big deals. again......he will ALWAYS be tradeable.
i still haven't heard a scenario where it HELPS us to let henderson walk.
thankfully, it looks like ellis is dallas bound which is probably the BEST place for him to be. alongside marion, calderon, dirk, and probably wright or dalembert....they will at the very least be a playoff team.
Posted by: charlottean | Jul 12, 2013 3:56:47 PM
4. isn't henderson + taylor better than taylor + gordon?
taylor isn't going to play 48 minutes per game. i'm of the opinion that taylor COULD get to henderson's level. but your playing maybe games when you already have the guy. if taylor gets there, he starts over henderson and you phase one in and phase the other out. but why take unnecessary gambles? again, you still need a backup.
Posted by: charlottean | Jul 12, 2013 3:59:56 PM
Stephenson has an alpha dog personality. I don't think he'll want to be second option on the wing, third over all (after Hibbert & George) for the rest of his career. If he played out three years in Charlotte and averaged 20 plus per game, he could work his way into a mega contract (over 10 million) with someone down the road. Even Danny Ainge averaged 20 points a game after he was traded from Boston and wound up on a team in need of scoring, but he was too old by then to get the huge pay day.
Stephenson is about 23. He'll be 24 next year. If he plays three years for Charlotte and turns into a 20 point scorer, he'll be entering his prime contract years at a market peak. That should be his goal. Put himself into a position to get the biggest possible contract at 27, 28. So, yes, it's a possibility.
Particularly with his personality.
The problem with Henderson at 7 is that I don't think there'd be many bights if we had to trade him down the road. There's been no indication that a single NBA team outside of Charlotte thinks he's worth that much. I wouldn't risk it.
Six million, sure. Five million all day.

Hey slurpers, "class" is colorblind. Don't give me this racist BS, has nothing to do with anything. My coterie of friends is more diverse than 98% of you can even imagine, especially those of you that have never set foot outside outside Mecklenburg county, which is about 98% of you. Hell, I might go over to The Stonewall for some brews and billiards tonight just for the hell of it. Thomas, I'd break you like a rold gold pretzel you lousy chump, your an embarrassment to yourself.
"Fred" just doesn't have what it takes and is symptomatic of the the dysfunctional organization known as the BOOcats.
Hey, just look at the numbers slurpers....
....complete and utter failure. The Plan is off the tracks. Air Min said "I never expected we'd finish anywhere close to last in our conference", much less the league.
His Minimumness is CLUELESS!
Meanwhile, just like I told you would be the case, Prokhorov keeps on whipping out his MASSIVE checkbook and buying talent -- Mikhail IS the competition folks and if we know ONE thing FOR CERTAIN, NBA players are MOTIVATED BY MONEY!!
Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Thomas...

stephenson also runs the risk of going all gilbert arenas or stephen jackson after getting that big contract. that has to be factored in as well.
hibbert is far from the #2 option in indy. he might be their #2 guy defensive and leadership wise, but he's not much of an offensive threat. he gave you 12 ppg to stephenson's 9 ppg this past season. playoffs he jumped up a bunch.
i do NOT think stephenson will leave indiana. not unless he has a monster year this year and even then it's still questionable. i think he will be paul george's sidekick indefinitely and thrive in that role.
stephenson is younger than henderson, and he shot the ball about the same as henderson this past year. he and henderson are almost identical in size and quickness. both are 6'4/6'5 with 6'10+ wingspans and 8'7 reaches. henderson has a slightly higher vert.
i salivate at the idea that we could feasible have a stephenson/mkg starting 2-3 with henderson and taylor as the backups there.
we still have 3 years with mkg on rookie scale and walker and biz won't be off rookie scale until the 3rd year. we can EASILY afford to overpay henderson a little on a 3 year deal with the deal being front loaded. it makes NO difference to us regarding our ability to sign free agents over the next 2 summers.
and as much as evan turner might be available RIGHT NOW....he won't be in 3 months. they just traded holiday....ball's going to be in turner's hands and he's going to start living up to that draft status. coming off a solid year, going into contract year. another guy we could target, but if we don't do something soon....will probably play himself into untouchable status.
and again......i'd rather have henderson AND turner. you just don't get better by letting young talent walk. that has never worked outside of miami doing it specifically to sign lebron.
Posted by: charlottean | Jul 12, 2013 4:35:29 PM
JC, you got it man. As for the "Scam" commentary, I was one of a small handful that vociferously advocated for drafting Cam. Yeah yeah, I heard the Gabbert stuff, and the laptop nonsense, and the "he's not even on the Kitty Kat's draftboard" and yadda yadda yadda nonsense...
...but I know what was right, and I called it. I also related to you KitKat slurpers a personal conversation I had with Boomer Esiason a few weeks prior to the draft when Boomer told me "not only do I think the Panthers should draft Cam, everything I'm hearing is barring a mindblowing trade offer, which I hear is not coming, the Panther ARE going to draft Cam" -- you doubters doubted, but it went down just like I told you it would...
...so smoke that too, blowhards.

Charlottean, you have never had a NBA Championship team to call your own. You have never experienced the feel of building a Championship team (Go Pistons). Why don't you get off this thread and quit acting like you actually know something about basketball. You're a tool and you're out of your phucking mind if you think Gerald Henderson is anything more than a backup. You settled for the ugly fat chick, didn't you? It explains your mindset, as you think it is okay to put up with losing season after losing season.
Gerald Henderson is getting replaced in the starting lineup, whether it be this year or next. Monta Ellis will do fine in Dallas and it just is another example of how Charlotte cannot attract free agents. Sure, Charlotte signed Al Jefferson...but it took 10 years to even be noticed by free agents. No one wants to come here because no one wants to be connected to a losing franchise...no one except you.
Gerald Henderson is resigned to the fact that his days as a starter are numbered. You'll be crying when it happens and I'll be there to kick you in the head when you are down.

monta ellis is STILL not an all-star. you described him as a "perennial all-star"
facts are your enemy sir. i bet you think fake d cups are better than a natural B too. that would sum up our differences.
I'll take hendo's efficient, intelligent 15 ppg over monta's 40% chucking for 20 a game anyday. and so would anyone with a brain.

Brahmasri Mecheri Pattu Sastrigal attained the lotus feet of Sri MahaPeriyava on August 27th 2020 at 6.30pm. He was the blessed one to have the last conversation and receive the blessings from Sri MahaPeriyava on January 8th 1994.
Mambalam Anusham at Ayodhya Mandapam needs no elaboration. Right from the Monthly Anusham to the Vaikasi Anusham Jayanthi & Aradhanai, the magnitude of the celebrations cannot be described in words. It is no less than any Kovil Thiruvizha. Mecheri Pattu Sastrigal mama & his family has been instrumental for this Periyava Satsangam in and around that area.
Here is Periyava Puranam by Brahmasri Mecheri Pattu Sastrigal :

Opening Day is normally associated with the beginning of the major league baseball season, bringing a sense of hope that at the very least, sub-freezing temperatures are behind us and spring has finally arrived.
But we see no reason why the pastime should only be relegated to balls and strikes. Here are some suggestions for celebrating opening day outside of a ballpark, tavern, or Best Buy electronics store.
Open a window. Not only can open windows boost mood by letting in some fresh air, the very act can be good for the environment. Indoor air pollution has been described by the EPA as a primary environmental health problem. In addition, the American College of Allergists states that 50 percent of all illnesses are caused by polluted indoor air. So grab that sash and fling wide the windows. You’ll be glad you did.
Open a jar of sauerkraut. In addition to going great on a hot dog (the classic opening day meal of baseball enthusiasts), sauerkraut has amazing health benefits that might actually negate the harmful qualities of the frankfurter.
Open your “third eye.” Known as the ‘Ajna chakra’, the third eye is a source of intuitive wisdom and has the potential to lead you to the highest form of intelligence. Try some third eye meditation, with eyes closed, focused on the area between your two actual eyes. Once you start seeing a bluish-white light, you’re halfway there to healing your chakras and getting in touch with a further dimension of existence.
Open your browser and search for “Smead Jolley”. There’s nothing more enjoyable than discovering arcane knowledge about some of the more colorful players of yesteryear, Smead being one of them. Jolley was an outfielder in the 1930s who once committed three errors on a single play.* But did Smead let his ineptitude in the field get him down? No! After getting dumped from the majors due to his poor fielding skills, he spent the rest of his career hitting the cover off the ball in the Pacific Coast League. Back then, the PCL paid their established players in a manner commensurate with the majors, so Smead did okay for himself. Not only that, he was inducted into the PCL Hall of Fame in 2003. Oh, and his nickname was “Smudge.” You can’t ask for more from a ballplayer.
*First he let a ball roll through his legs in the outfield. After allowing it to carom off the wall, the ball rolled back between his legs in the opposite direction. When he finally recovered the ball, he heaved it over the third baseman’s head and into the stands. **
**Although the ump took pity on him and only scored it two errors.

Last weekend, Mount St. Joseph Academy’s final race at the 2013 Stotesbury Cup Regatta yielded the best result. The Magic’s second eight had taken the silver medal behind Holy Spirit High School at the Philadelphia City Championships two weekends earlier, but last Saturday at Stotesbury the Mount “Two-Vee” claimed the gold medal, winning by some two-and-a-half seconds over James Madison High School of Vienna, Va.
Spirit did not reach the final at Stotesbury; the Mount and New Jersey’s Absegami High School (fourth overall) were the only “Cities” finalists to make it. After qualifying third in the Friday morning head races, the MSJ boat [Alyssa Pagliaro (cox), Emily Ruddy (stroke), Maddie Wescott, Gwyn Kieffer, Fiona Kelly, Danielle Kosman, Jacqueline James, Marissa Mulligan, Rachel Heller] won its semifinal with the fastest time overall.
Senior bow-seat rower Heller, a Norwood Fontbonne Academy graduate, can now head off to St. Joseph’s University with a Stotesbury gold medal.
She related, “The girls in our boat have been together a long time, and it helps when you all get along and you all have each others’ backs. Then when you win as a team, it’s an amazing feeling. Half our boat had never stood on that medal dock before, so being up there and having our whole school singing the Alma Mater was unbelievable.”
The other two MSJ crews to reach the finals last weekend earned silver medals. The freshman eight [Lindsey Maiale (cox), Demi Simms (stroke), Christina Knox, Olivia Tice-Carroll, Maddie Lauinger, Julianna Hunt, Maddie Carlton, Katelin Cordero, Zoe Ramos] came in behind a skilled, more experienced group from Saratoga (N.Y.) High School, and the only other Philadelphia-area finalist, Merion Mercy Academy, finished sixth.
Holy Spirit continued to reign in the lightweight eight class, but the Mount St. Joe lights [Annie Tenzinger (cox), Emily McHugh, Liz McKernan, Maura O’Donnell, Bridget Fitzpatrick, Kate Mirabella, Josie Marrocco, Lexi Meister, Abby Shreero] won a three-way battle for second place over Merion and Winter Park (Fla.) High School.
The Mount’s senior (or varsity) eight [Mary Raggazino (cox), Maddie Lawn (stroke), Natalie Simms, Steph Eble, Kierra McCloy, Lauren Matchett, Kait Loftus, Michela Karrash, Leah Ramos] faced a tough draw in one of the three semifinals in its class. In each race, only the top two reached the finals, and the Magic finished third by eight-tenths of a second.
The Mount started out with eight entries at Stotesbury, but its three fours were waylaid in the qualifying round on Friday, where only the top 18 finishers moved into the semifinals in each category.
The junior four [Bridget Walsh (cox), Bernadette McGirr (stroke), Shannon Hughes, Nina Lawlor, Katie Gresko] placed 26th out of 59 boats overall, the lightweight four [Madi Kist (cox), Emma Tenzinger (stroke), Lauren Woodrow, Sophia Cocozza, Ellie McGlynn] was 25th of 38 entries, and the senior four [Victoria Porretti (cox), Kate Stromberg (stroke), Hanna Leonard, Natalie Keane, Alana Cianciulli] came in 23rd in a field of 46.
Mount St. Joseph’s junior eight [Megan Mirabella (cox), Caroline Carbone (stroke), Quinn Devore, Jocelyn Ziemniak, Jenny DiPietro, Christina Vosbikian, Alaina Hunt, Brynn McGillin, Ariene Merkle] qualified 11th out of 46 boats that were entered, making the cut for semifinals with room to spare. However, this was another event in which only the top two semifinalists went on to the medal round, and early on Saturday morning the Magic ended up one spot below the cut-off line, third in their race.
For the lightweight eight, the progression through the regatta was expedited by the fact that only 11 boats signed up at the outset. The semifinal stage was eliminated, with the top six head-race qualifiers moving directly into the finals. Mount St. Joe advanced by putting up the fourth-fastest time behind Holy Spirit (which won Stotes in 2011 and 2012, and Scholastic Nationals last year), Merion Mercy, and Winter Park.
Two returning members of the 2012 lightweight crew moved into the varsity eight this year, and it took some time for the remaining slenderettes to get their bearings. In one early regular-season race, the Magic finished a full 15 seconds behind Spirit, but in the Stotesbury final they crossed the line a respectable four seconds behind the strong Jersey Shore school (5:04.01 to 5:08.00), fending off Merion (5:09.53) and Winter Park (5:09.88) in the process.
“From where they started this season, they’ve made a lot of progress and it was a very good outcome,” said Mount varsity crews coach Mike McKenna.
McKenna’s counterpart with the youngest Mount rowers, first-year freshman/novices coach Jen Fasy, has enjoyed a remarkable rookie season.
At the City Championships, where there were more races for beginning rowers than Stotesbury, gold medals were won by the freshman eight, freshman four, and the novice eight “A” boat, with a second novice boat missing the finals by one place.
“I was so lucky in getting a great group of kids,” Fasy observed. “It’s a big class both in terms of overall numbers (33) and of height. We gave them tough workouts, and they worked very hard on and off the water, and that laid the foundation for their success.
“They’re very supportive of one another,” she continued. “There’s a great team atmosphere, which is one of the things I’m proudest of this season.”
The MSJ frosh qualified second behind Saratoga, whose boat contains a number of girls who began rowing on club crews while in middle school. The Magic actually turned in a faster time than the New Yorkers as they each won separate semifinals, but in the end Saratoga’s skill won out over the Magic’s muscle. However, as the old adage goes, “you can’t coach size,” and in that regard the Mount ninth-graders are an imposing bunch.
Saratoga won the final race in 5:12.49, while the Magic were second in 5:18.30, ahead of Virginia’s T.C. Williams (5:20.26) and fourth-place Holy Spirit (5:22.63).
The second eight is always a sentimental favorite, usually being composed of athletes who have dedicated four years of hard labor to the program but who have rarely enjoyed the limelight that tends to focus on vessels like the varsity and lightweight eights. After a solid spring overall, this group of veterans (all seniors except Kosman, a sophomore) put it all together for Stotesbury.
In the two weeks following the City Championships, Heller revealed, “We just all worked really hard, because we didn’t want to get second again. This was the last time at Stotesbury for almost all of us.”
About half-an-hour before the second eight final got underway, the leaden skies over the Schuylkill opened up.
“It was pouring down rain at the starting line, but we were all really confident,” recounted Heller, adding that their coxswain, Alyssa Pagliaro, helped keep the rowers calm as they waited for the race to begin. “Coming under the [Strawberry Mansion] bridge we were third, and then Alyssa just told us it was time for us to go. Going past the Prep boathouse [about a third of the way down the 1500-meter course] we had first, and we never let go of it.”
The Magic seized the gold medal with a winning time of 5:08.94, and were followed across the line by James Madison (5:11.37) and another Virginia crew, Walt Whitman (5:16.22).
This was actually Mount St. Joe’s first calamity-free gold-medal performance at Stotesbury since 2010. In 2011, the Magic didn’t win any events at Stotes. Last spring the powerful varsity eight earned a gold medal, but seconds after they finished the distracted celebrants scraped the bow of their boat against the Columbia Bridge.
That glitch aside, the 2012 varsity eight was a loaded crew whose eight graduating members were all recruited to Division I college programs. The members of an almost entirely new 2013 line-up had neither the experience nor the physical power of their predecessors, but displayed a good deal of grit and determination this season.
The favorites last weekend were the Virginians from James Madison, who appeared on the Schuylkill during the regular season and won handily.
They qualified first on Friday and the Mount was fourth, but although they didn’t have to face the Warhawks in the semifinals, the Magic still had formidable rivals in Holy Spirit and National Cathedral Prep. Mount St. Joe had gone back and forth with Spirit during the spring, but the Spartans had won the City Championships convincingly, and the Magic had lost to National Cathedral back in April at a regatta in Delaware.
In the Mount’s Stotesbury semifinal, Coach McKenna related, “Off the start, we dropped about a length on the lead crews in the first 30-40 strokes of the race. I think they were a little too amped-up, and they were a little out of control. Once they settled down, they were fine. They rowed through most of the field, but they couldn’t quite get where they needed to be.”
In their race, the third-place Magic were just 0.78 seconds shy of the last boat to advance, and their time of 5:11.31 was faster than that of both finalists from the previous heat, Archbishop Carroll (5:13.01) and Walt Whitman (5:14.65). James Madison won the final in 4:52.44, followed by National Cathedral (4:59.78), Walt Whitman (5:00.45), Spirit (5:01.38), Carroll (5:01.65), Bethesda Chevy Chase (5:03.06).
“The kids had a good row; they just got beat by better crews today,” said the Mount’s McKenna, his overall tone revealing that he’s proud of how this group performed under difficult circumstances this spring.
What will they need to do at the upcoming scholastic national regatta?
“Calm down,” the veteran skipper said succinctly. “They just need to be more composed at the start of the race, that’s all.”

The later part of 2011 was a mix of happiness and sadness for me. I was happy for the opportunities to travel to so many places I didn’t expect I would be able to go. But I was torn with the problems in my relationships. I wanted change. But I knew that wouldn’t happen overnight and I don’t think I can wait for this year to make things better. I started by improving (again) my way of thinking. I told myself things will get a lot better. I had to learn again how to let go of a situation. Worrying over uncontrollable problems will not do anything. Well *skips all the serious and dramatic details*, slowly, I felt and saw some improvement in matters more than just in my relationships.
I was actually afraid for this year to come. All the self-help did me well, so now I’m not that scared. The first week of the year started good for me. I had problems here and there, but I forgot about them because of the good things. I don’t think there will be more good and exciting things that will happen to me if I’m still lazy and let negative thoughts get the most of the me.
I got to celebrate New Year’s not only with the family, but also with Jan and Marco. I started getting productive by sorting things in my room. I need space for more trash. XDDD I’m able to catch up with the piling work (until now too). I had a very nice dinner and dessert with the speshuls Joiz, Kat, Drew, and Ry. Of course, there’s my ♥ too.
(The following are pictures from my dinner and dessert with Joiz, Kat, Drew, and Ry.)
The dinner at Robot with (top to bottom, left to right) Drew, Kat, Joiz, and Ry represented by Gloomy Bear. XD
I still need to make resolutions for this year. So far, aside from starting sorting things in my room, my blogging is more frequent than before. My other blogs are getting updated. Yay! And I already have travel plans. 🙂 I want to go back to gaming too.
Anyway, how was everyone’s start of the year? I hope it was good.
Thanks, Joiz, for sharing your cheesecake. 😀

Layering is pretty much the opposite of my last blog post on Separation. In this case, you are trying to combine sounds and make them fell like they all come from the one instrument (most of the time). However, just like separation, you also don’t want the sounds to fight with each other. I generally use a combination of Instruments, Transposing, EQ, Overdrive, Compression, Stereo processing and space. Here’s how.
Firstly, the choice of instrument is huge. It might even be most of it. When I’m about to layer I’ll usually already have my core sound. e.g. a Synth. It probably sounds mostly the way i want, but is likely missing something. I will rarely layer that synth, with another sound from the same synth. I try to use different ones or even better, use samplers. The fact that the sounds are coming from different sources naturally helps them to sit well right from the start. Also, it’s a good excuse to remind you to try out all your synths.
HOT TIP: Layering Synths with samplers often gets a great result. Especially if the sample is not made of a synth. e.g. Load a vocal tone into Simpler (or similar) and use it as a layer for massive.
Usually my original sounds feels like it’s missing a layer below it, and/or above it. If i add something above i generally pitch the midi up an octave (or more), and if want something below, i pitch that new midi down an octave. You want to make sure the root note is not in the same frequency as otherwise there will be a big build up of energy just in that one spot. Most of the time anyway. Sometimes they will work great in the same octave, but i encourage you to experiment.
Now i might pull out an EQ. I’ll mostly be cutting in this case. If my original sound sits in the mid range, and i added a layer below it. I’ll likely cut some mids out of the lower layer to stop them fighting. Vice versa for the high layers.
Next I’ll look at the stereo field. If i have two sounds in the same octave/note. I might pan one a bit left and one a bit right to a least give some stereo breathing room. This will make our sound feel bigger and wider too. Alternatively, i might layer a very stereo sound with a mono sound. Usually i make the lower pitch sound the more mono one. Then ill use a stereo sound about that, and maybe remove the mono/middle out of it a bit with my mid/side plugin from my Ableton pack. This can also be good for subtly adding effects to the sides without adding them to the middle.
It’s group time. I’ll group these layers and run them through some plugins to help glue them together. My first choice would be a subtle overdrive. Especially analog modelled. It can do very interesting things when fed layers. Then maybe a little colourful compression. Again, go for analog modelled here for the harmonics. Then maybe a touch of multi band compression. Like an OTT on a low setting.
You could top this all off with a subtle verb. It will put all the sounds in the same room/space and make them feel more combined yet again.

Nearly half the vehicles in Beijing will be ordered off the
roads during the "Good Luck Beijing" sports events to test the
city's air quality. Test results will be used to revise the
Olympic Air Quality Guarantee Scheme.
In an interview with the Beijing News on August 9, Ms. Tang
Xiaoyan, an expert invited for the drafting of this scheme, member
of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, professor at Peking
University, and scientific advisor for the Beijing municipal
government, talked about this air quality test and traffic
restrictions during the Olympic test events.
The Beijing News (BN): Beijing has ordered some
vehicles off the roads to test the air quality. How important is
air quality to the Olympics?
Tang Xiaoyan (Tang): Since 1998, Beijing has
taken measures to control air pollution, and air quality has
consequently improved. For next year's Olympics, air quality is of
the utmost importance to the athletes. The key issue is to prevent
high concentrations of air pollutants.
BN: In which aspects will air pollutants be
Tang: Take inhalable particles for example.
This kind of pollutant contains many small particles which cause
atmospheric visibility to decline. The particles consist of even
smaller particulates, their size ranging from nano to micrometer.
They can enter into the human body very easily, and if they get
into the respiratory tract, or even the lungs, respiration might be
affected. So air quality must be guaranteed for the sake of the
BN: Has air quality been taken into
consideration in Beijing's bid for the Olympics?
Tang: In its bid for the Olympics, Beijing promised to keep air
quality in line with national standards and try to meet WHO
Last year, the Beijing municipal government invited a group of
experts to carry out research on air quality during the Olympics.
They have studied the desirable standards, goals, as well as
measures to be taken. An Olympic Air Quality Guarantee Scheme has
been submitted to the municipal government, covering the city
itself as well as its surrounding areas.
BN: What pollution controls are covered in the
Tang: It includes controls on coal burning,
industrial emissions, vehicle emissions, and raised dust.
BN: What can we expect from this Scheme?
Tang: This Scheme was made based on our past
practices. Predictions have been made about what will happen next
year, but it's still not clear what the level of success will be.
We hope to have an opportunity to test it, even just for a small
part. We want to see if it can really meet the requirement of air
quality standards during the Olympics next year.
We suggested that the municipal government should test a certain
part or parts of the Scheme during the Olympic test events. As a
result, the government decided to conduct a test from August 17 to
20, 2007. It can be considered as an exercise for this Scheme.
BN: Do you think 4 days' time is enough?
Tang: We were expecting a longer time for a
better effect. But we were afraid that it might affect other work
in the city. The municipal government has given us 4 days: a
Friday, a weekend and a Monday. Friday and Monday are the busiest
weekdays. We hope to see this Scheme's practical effect.
BN: As you have mentioned, the Scheme includes
various pollution controls, so why does this test only focus on
Tang: It's because vehicles are the biggest
inhalable particulate emitters, and the leading cause of particle
pollution. It impacts significantly the visibility in the air and
people's health. Moreover, the primary pollutants emitted by the
vehicles will be converted to cause secondary pollution in the air.
So, the whole Scheme's success depends largely on the vehicles
emissions control. Other pollutants will be attended to later
BN: What air quality test will be conducted at
Tang: We've set up some monitoring stations,
and our work will be divided into three phases: first, from August
1 to 17; second, from August 17 to 20, when the drill is being
applied; third, from the August 20 to the end of August. We'll
collect the data of these phases respectively, do the comparison
and see how the Program works.
BN: If the traffic restrictions are imposed,
what do you expect for air quality?
Tang: This is not the first time Beijing has
imposed traffic restrictions. During the Sino-African Cooperation
Forum, we did well in improving the air quality because we forbade
more than 400,000 cars belonging to companies or the government
driven on the road.
A survey by Harvard University shows from satellite pictures
that the nitrogen oxides were reduced significantly during those
This time, we have done a lot of arrangements and preparations,
including researching the conditions of meteorology and
BN: What difficulties will be encountered?
Tang: Rainy days. For example, we had no way to
get valid data during the thunderstorms a few days ago.

Suicide is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. Statistics from the Centers for Disease Control indicate that rural suicide rates are higher than urban rates. In the United States, the states with larger areas of rural populations consistently reach the highest suicide rates in the nation, with Montana often at the top: 28.9 per 100,000 people in 2017. Factors specific to rural environments may both increase the likelihood that suicide attempts will be fatal and they can also limit the effectiveness of suicide-prevention initiatives that may work in urban settings. Considerations include geographical isolation, isolated work, social isolation, limited availability of mental health services, stigma associated with seeking care from mental-health professionals, availability of firearms and poisons, and limited security for firearms (gun locks, secure storage).
In response to the high rural suicide rates, state governments have been investing in data collection to identify the reasons for suicide attempts and fatalities, aiming to formulate optimally effective policies and ultimately to save lives. The STARS project at CMAC re-analyzes deidentified data on suicides from the state of Montana using statistical, geographic, machine-learning, and computer-simulation techniques to investigate existing interpretations of causal factors and ultimately to generate cost-benefit analyses of possible policy interventions. Based on a thorough review of literature and consultation with subject-matter experts, we are building a computer simulation to test the efficacy of a range of strategic interventions and policy proposals, with the goal of advising policy professionals and change agents with the power to reduce suicides in rural communities. Computational modeling and simulation is a tool ideally suited for handling multiple interacting factors in a complex causal system, which is what we see in the problem of rural suicide. Once validated and tested, this policy simulation will be readily generalizable to other settings and other countries.
The STARS project aims to build a computational model, incorporating psychological autopsy data along with the insights and expertise of local service providers and policy professionals to improve suicide prevention efforts, particularly in rural settings. These models have the potential to generate insights into policy proposals and to spur the generation of new policy ideas, thereby assisting policy professionals and service providers to craft more effective solutions, ultimately mitigating a severe public health problem and saving lives.

Calderdale Council has been ranked as one of the top 10 councils in the country for adult social care.
Public service consultancy, iMPOWER named the Council as one of the most productive local authorities nationwide, in a major independent survey released today.
iMPOWER ranks 150 local authorities by examining performance using 25 indicators across three categories – older adults, all age disability, and health and social care.
Cllr Bob Metcalfe, Calderdale Council’s Cabinet Member for Adults, Health and Social Care, said:
“We are thrilled that Calderdale is in iMPOWER’s top 10 best councils for adult social care. This national recognition, as a new entrant to the list, is testament to our significant improvement in performance during the past 12 months.
“It is a fantastic achievement for our talented teams, who continue to go the extra mile to support and care for some of Calderdale’s most vulnerable people.
“This is in the context of increasing demand, an ageing population and challenging budget savings. But thanks to our incredibly enterprising employees and great partnerships with other organisations, we’re finding new and distinctive ways to deliver services and reduce costs, such as making greater use of technology in adults’ social care.
“We have a strong, continued commitment to improvement, and the news from iMPOWER comes just weeks after our Children and Young People’s Services were rated as ‘good’ overall with ‘outstanding’ features by Ofsted.
“We will continue to do everything we can to make good progress in all of our adults’ social care and wellbeing services, which we know are so important to local people and contribute to our ambition to be the best borough in the North.”

That kerfuffle a few months ago about “how to manipulate and cajole employees that you consider to be irrational children” got me thinking about a theory I’ve been refining for a while now. I call it “The Artist’s Paradox” and it goes like this:
According to the non-creative, artists are magical people. They have been blessed with supernatural abilities; they simply wave their hands and art falls from their fingertips. Incredible concepts and beautiful visuals spring full-blown from their foreheads like Athena from the mind of Zeus. They can’t help but create wonderful things every waking hour, and it gives them incredible joy and satisfaction to do so.
Because this ability is a gift from the gods, the artist has a moral responsibility to share it freely with anyone who asks. Asking for money for “just a little sketch” or “just a quick logo design” is selling out, a betrayal of the gift; the artist must never personally profit from his talent lest he prove unworthy of it.
Here’s the parodox: the instant that art leaves the artist’s possession, it somehow transforms into a valuable commodity; it can be sold, published, exploited, recontextualized, licensed and distributed by any and all means from silk-screened t-shirts to the Times Square Jumbotron, and each time it’s used, somebody has to pay the owner for it. He owns it, and he gets to regulate it any way he sees fit. Each of those users, in turn, is allowed to profit from the use of that art, selling products or promoting events.
The only person who is never to profit from the art is the person who created it. Artists are supposed to work for the love of it, for the dedication to their craft, or from their desire to express themselves.
And now here’s the truth: Artists are not magical people.
Remember way back in second grade, when everybody drew pretty much equally as well? When everybody was about as equally talented at music or writing or any other creative endeavor? We all drew, and we all liked doing it. Over the next few years, a funny thing happened; we all started falling in love with different things. Some of us found that we liked reading. Others loved math. Some found that writing was more fun than reading. Some devoted themselves to sports. Others became fascinated with music or drama or comedy or dance. And some of us liked art. Almost as important, we discovered that other people liked our art and gave us attention. By the time we got to sixth grade, there were only a handful of us in each class; girls drawing unicorns and designing dresses in their notebooks, boys drawing superheroes or funny animals, a few of us even taking painting lessons and learning about fine art. By the time we got through high school, the self-proclaimed artists in our graduating class could all ride to the ceremony together in the same minivan. What happened?
We didn’t discover some inner magic; you stopped trying. While you were doing the things you loved, we did the thing we loved, and we got good at it. That’s all.
But that doesn’t mean it’s easy. Sure, we learned some shortcuts and trained our hands and brains to move in certain patterns, but we still have to work at it. Just as with playing a piano or pitching a baseball, there are skills we needed to have and knowledge we needed to acquire. Creating art is no more magical than creating a spreadsheet. It’s a set of skills and a way of looking at and thinking about problems, and it’s something we learned how to do over a long period of time. Just like you, we found something we were good at, worked hard at it, studied, trained, and got better at it.
And now we expect to get paid for it.
If it helps you to feel better about yourself to believe we do it by magic, that’s fine. As long as you’re willing to pay for the result.

More LIRR, NJT Trains As Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel Opens To Buses
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) – Mass transit is continuing to return to normal across the Tri-State area two weeks after Superstorm Sandy flooded subways and tunnels and damaged tracks, signals and overhead wires.
The Hugh L. Carey-Brooklyn Battery Tunnel is now open to limited rush-hour bus service only.
Express MTA buses from Brooklyn and Staten Island can use one lane of one tube to enter Manhattan from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. and to leave Manhattan from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.
1010 WINS’ John Montone reports
The tunnel will stay closed at other times to allow repair crews to repair damage from Sandy. About 43 million gallons of salt water flooded the tunnel during the superstorm, according to officials.
The MTA restored A train subway service between the 207 Street Station and the Howard Beach-JFK Airport Station on Sunday. It also added a bus shuttle between the station and Mott Avenue in Far Rockaway.
“This segment of the A was especially hard hit, as was the Rockaway Peninsula and to be able to get service back to these neighborhoods is a priority for us,” said MTA Chairman & CEO Joseph J. Lhota in a statement.
The Long Island Rail Road is operating on a near-normal weekday schedule Monday on all branches except the Long Beach Branch.
Two Amtrak tunnels that were flooded during Sandy have been reopened, but service in those tunnels still remains limited.
In New Jersey, NJ TRANSIT’s Morris & Essex lines, including Midtown Direct, Bergen and Port Jervis are operating.
However, service remains suspended along the Gladstone Branch and Montclair-Boonton Lines. Limited service also continues on the Northeast Corridor.
Trains into New York City remain extremely limited.
NJ TRANSIT is encouraging rail passengers to continue to use buses and ferries.
PATH train service between Manhattan and the Newark Penn and Harrison stations in New Jersey resumed Monday morning.
Officials said trains starting rolling out at 5 a.m. and will run in both directions until 10 p.m. But they also warn commuters that they may face extended waits for trains.
Besides Newark Penn and Harrison, the line also will include stops at Journal Square, Grove Street, and Newport stations in New Jersey and at the 14th, 23rd and 33rd Street stations in Manhattan.
Trains will bypass Christopher and 9th streets in New York. And disabled passengers will have access to the platforms only at Newark, Journal Square and 33rd Street.
PATH service remains suspended at the Hoboken, Exchange Place and the World Trade Center stations.

Spencer and Van Buren residents speak through votes
By Sparta Live | November 9, 2018 9:01 am
By Hansel Moore
The votes have been tallied, and the people of Spencer have spoken.
Mickey Robinson will continue to be the city mayor for the next four years. With a total of 53 percent of the votes, Robinson took the lead against two others who were vying for the mayor’s position and crossed the finish line as the victor.
“I would like to thank everyone who came out and supported me,” said Robinson. “I would like to send them all a big hug.”
In the near future, if a person is in the mood for a margarita, then that individual will be able to purchase one in the City of Spencer (if you are of age). The referendum on serving liquor by the drink has been approved by a vote of 53 percent. The decision to support the ability for an establishment to provide adult beverages will most likely have an effect on potential entrepreneurs who would consider investing into an eating establishment within the city limits. Churches and their members have voiced concern about alcohol being served and openly opposed the referendum.
In Van Buren County, Cameron Sexton, the Republican incumbent running for the state Senate for 25th district, was able to obtain 70 percent of the votes cast and was the victor over Democratic challenger Ann Quillen, of Crossville. Both candidates made frequent appearances in Van Buren County throughout the past few months to share their views on critical issues and the future of District 25.
“I would like to thank the citizens of Van Buren County for their continued confidence and support,” said Sexton.
Bill Lee will be the next person to lead Tennessee as governor. Lee chose Spencer as the place to launch his gubernatorial bid and returned to Van Buren County on the “final lap” of a long, competitive race. (See additional story inside.)
Results from Van Buren County are as follows:
Bill Lee (R) – 1,065
Karl Dean (D) – 465
United State Senate
Marsha Blackburn (R) – 984
Phil Bredesen (D) – 406
US House of Representatives
Scott Desjarlais (R) – 817
Mariah Phillips (D) – 356
US House of Representative
John Rose (R) -153
Dawn Barlow (D) – 46
TN House of Representatives
Cameron Sexton (R) – 967
Anne Quillen (D) – 409
Spencer City Alderman
Jerry Blankenship – 326 (winner)
Jody Hensley – 297 (winner)
Bonnie Adcock – 292 (winner)
Bryan Hickerson – 288

Geographical Index > United States > Arizona > Apache County > Report # 6552|
Submitted by witness on Saturday, June 28, 2003.
Bigfoot crosses road in front of vehicle traveling on Navajo Route 7 near Canyon De Chelley National Monument
(Show Printer-friendly Version)
COUNTY: Apache County
LOCATION DETAILS: on the Navajo Indian Reservation on the western edge of the Chuska mountains
NEAREST TOWN: Chinle
NEAREST ROAD: on road 7 along the south side of Canyon de Chelly
OBSERVED: On the Navajo Indian Reservation, I was driving along the washboard dirt road (7) that heads east along the south side of Canyon de Chelly looking for a place to duck into to camp for the night. I was about 7-10 miles east of Chinle driving at about 20 mph. It stepped out from the left side and walked across the road right in front of me, about 40 feet away or so, right at the edge of the bright part of my headlights, walking briskly but in no hurry crossing the road and slightly away from me at the same time so that it was probably 5 feet ahead when it reached the other side of the road. As soon as it crossed the road and the little swale of a ditch it bent over just as it was behind a bush as if to take cover as soon as possible. At first, all I kept thinking was "I just saw an ape of some kind." but I quickly realized what it had to be. It wasn't particularly large, about six feet tall or so, but very solid for it's size and uniformly covered in dark brown hair. It never looked at me. I only saw it for about three or four seconds but saw it clearly. I ended up going back a little, turning north on a paved road that leads to the edge of the canyon, just a mile or so, and turning off into the woods a little to sleep in the back of my truck for the night just two or three miles at most from where the sighting occured.
ALSO NOTICED: no
OTHER WITNESSES: no
OTHER STORIES: This incident led to me finding this site and a few other accounts in the same area
TIME AND CONDITIONS: 11:00 pm, clear skies, warm temp.
ENVIRONMENT: on the western edge of the Chuska mountains, transition zone from the vast desert to the forested mountain oasis
Follow-up investigation report:
After speaking with the witness, the following detail can be added:
- the witness reported that the animal observed was clearly an ape, having "no neck"; a low, slightly pointed head; and uniform dark brown hair. It strongly resembled the animal seen on the well known "Patterson film."
- the witness believes the animal to have been a male and estimated its weight at between 250 - 275 pounds. Its weight coupled with its approximate 6 foot height led the witness to assume that it was a juvenile bigfoot.
- it walked briskly, crossing from one side to the other in just a few steps. Its gait was like a man's but it clearly was not a man. Its arms swung gradually as it walked.
- the witness was particularly struck by the animal's clear attempt to conceal itself behind a small, 4 - 5 foot tall tree after it had crossed the road. Although the animal never looked directly at him, it clearly had a sense that it should avoid further exposure. This witness was impressed with the intelligence behind such an act.
The witness is an avid traveler and camper who has seen many bears and is familiar with wildlife. He is positive that the animal observed was not a bear or a human.
This sighting took place approximately 1 1/2 - 2 miles south of Canyon De Chelley in a location downslope from the Chuska Mountains by approximately 10 miles. Canyon De Chelley collects the runoff from Wheatfields and Whiskey Creeks, which were the subject of field research conducted by the BFRO in 2002. Numerous other sightings have been made in the area.

My stomach is a battlefield, my intestines the trenches. Corpuscles run in fear as mustard gas erupts around them and arteries wince as more saturated fat rains down from the sky.
I think it’s safe to say I’m having a hard time adjusting to a holiday diet – after a huge dinner out one night, and countless desserts, I have completely lost my appetite. It may be because back home I generally eat plain bread and sandwiches, and here I’ve subsisted mainly on doughnuts and fatty treats. Now I have no idea when I should eat – I just do because it feels right – but I enjoy more extravagant meals anyway.
And extravagant, rich, buttery foods are available everywhere. Now I’m actually trying to avoid them, but when the standard stop for a Greyhound coach is at the local McDonalds, it becomes difficult.
We’ve now completed the Route 66 part of our journey – we’re in Chicago. This is technically where 66 starts, running all the way to LA, so we’ve essentially done the first half of the road backwards.
St Louis, our final driving destination, was great. It felt like a big city but without a lot of the congestion, and had a lot to offer eager sightseeing tourists (like us). We went up the enormous “Gateway Arch”, took a trip down the river, and saw an American Football game. I can’t honestly say I understood what was going on most of the time, but I enjoyed the atmosphere at the stadium, and the hot dogs sold outside were terrific.
We had a chance to try a local delicacy – frozen custard! It was very nice, actually a lot like ice cream (and you can get it flavoured with all sorts of other things).
We had an interesting greyhound coach up to Chicago, because we were packed on without about 10 ex-cons who had been freed that day. At first it was pretty scary, and we didn’t even ask what they had been arrested for, but they were just pleased to be going home. I did have to avoid some threatening gazes that came my way though.
Yesterday in Chicago we took a water taxi to the Sears Tower (now the Willis Tower), the tallest building in the states, and queued for hours to go up it. I should tell you that I have two fears: heights and spiders. I suppose my absolute worst nightmare might be to be dangled from a great height above an enormous spider, but anyway, the Willis Tower Skydeck seemed specifically designed to torture people like me. They’ve built glass floors into overhanging ledges from the 103rd floor of the tower. And being the glutton for punishment that I am, I just had to go over it. Sarah did well and stood near the end quite early on (though she did admit that it was quite scary) – I had to kneel down and back onto it, only snatching glimpses of the sheer 1,000 foot drop below us. There’s a good photo (that I can’t post yet) of us above the ledge, pure fear visible in my eyes.
After we descended we ate at Giordano’s, who make stuffed pizzas with your choice of ingredients, went to the Threadless retail clothes shop, and went to a late night blues bar. After only 24 hours in Chicago, I felt like it was a very cool place.
Today we got up and frantically tried to dry our clothes which we had washed in the bath yesterday, although all my underwear was still soaking wet. I jammed it all in the suitcase anyway, acutely aware that I may open it in Toronto to find a bundle of mouldy boxers.
We just had time to hire bikes and cycle from the beach (yes, Chicago has a beach – with proper sand) to Navy Pier. It’s a tourist fest, a pier jammed full of restaurants, stalls and cheesy attractions, but still worth a look.
Now we’re on the Greyhound once again, faced with a 14 hour trip to Toronto, going through Detroit and London (the one in Ontario). I’m not looking forward to the 3am stop, but at least sleeping on a coach saves accomodation money.

Ok so, still on the scouting matter, I thought I’d help you put together some lovely style pieces for your many outings. LOL.
For as many events you know about Valentine, the dress code is majorly ‘a touch of red’. Have you got your several touches of red picked out yet? No? Not to worry, let’s explore some exciting pieces together and see how we can bring them all together in a fun way and most especially, so that you’re not having to repeat your outfits this season.
First up is my favorite piece yet from Mo’s Place.
I found a few from Le Femme as well.
Payporte seemed to have a few exciting pieces as well.
And just more general inspiring pieces to put together while you look around for something glam to put on this love season.
This will definitely be for a ball party.
Wherever you’re shopping, whatever you’re wearing, you definitely want to look good again and again. Otherwise, just stay home and play love. LOL.

Learn to realise eastern promise
By FWi staff
BRITAIN could considerably increase food exports to the Far East – but must first better understand the different nature of the market, farmers have been told.
About 40% of the UKs 10m tonne annual cereal crop – worth 1.2 billion – is exported. But cereal sales to Asia were worth just 59m in 1999.
However, opportunities are likely to increase as the economies expand in Far East countries, delegates heard at the Oxford Farming Conference.
Paul Davies of the Royal Agricultural College said demand could boom in China which is set to become the worlds largest economy by 2030.
If countries like Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia failed in their bid to commercialise their farming then those countries will also import more food.
British exporters have already been helped in countries like Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong because of special relationships and historic ties.
The more these good relations could be cultivated, the better for future trading prospects, Professor Davies said in an address on Thursday (04 January).
Improving business relationships, which in Asia are still to a large extent determined by trust, would be a key factor in determining future market success.
There were strong and distinct cultural dimensions to doing business in Asian countries, said Prof Davies. These relationships must be invested in for the future.

So 24 weeks and my body’s aching. Well, at least the parts that are important for getting out a song every week. I spent a good chunk of last week feeling kind of lousy and not my normal hopeful self, and so that was the mindset with which I was working. I knew from the get go that I wanted a simple guitar and voice song and I knew that I didn’t want to spend a lot of time writing it. It does hurt to play and finishing up Once Again last week took a lot out of me. (For those wondering what I’m talking about, you can refer to the blog entries of Weeks 22 & 23.)
That first session, I sat down on the couch to play and settled into the choppy strumming pattern that makes up Sooner or Later within about two minutes. I played with it a little bit and thought, ‘This will work.’ Pulled out the handy iPhone, recorded it and that was the end of session one. For the next 24 hours, I played back that little sample in various places and situations - while driving, brushing my teeth, cooking dinner, etc. - hoping that some sort of lyric idea would pop out. One of the first to come along was the ‘Sooner or later I’m gonna know’ you hear this week. I liked it although I struggled with the fact that the melody mirrored the chorus melody from Week 1’s Ready or Not. And for that reason, I initially rejected it.
However, after giving it a little thought, I began to see it a little differently. I felt like the melody worked for the new song’s chorus. And because this new song was turning into a sort of snapshot of how I was feeling approaching the halfway point of the year, I thought it might be kind of cool to use it, making the new song a sort of response to the excitement and ebullience I had been feeling that first week. (Email newsletter folks have heard some of this already.) And so it went.
I spent a few days tweaking lyrics to get it feeling right. I wanted to convey the sense of feeling a bit lost but also knowing that the journey is leading somewhere, even if we’re not sure where. I recorded the song Saturday morning and did it fairly simply. Two guitar takes was about all I was good for which thankfully gave me enough to comp together a final part.
I spent some time with the vocals. It took a while to get them feeling right. Part of this was due to the fact that I recorded the guitar part separately. I think the rhythm of my choppy strumming might have tied to the vocal rhythm better if I’d been singing as I played. I tried to sing along in my head but I don’t know that it’s quite the same, at least at my level of recording experience.
The other issue was one that I’ve mentioned a few times before where the song is so new that you don’t yet have a feel for performing it. It took a good five or six takes before I felt like I had something that was starting to work. At that point, I added some harmonies, gave it a mix and it was out the door. It was hard to leave it as bare bones as I did, especially given some of the recent songs I’ve done. I do enjoy fleshing them out. But it just takes so much time and I needed a little break. This week I was committed to keeping it simple.
That’s it for now. I hope you enjoyed Sooner or Later. On to Week 25. The Great Divide is fast approaching. Hmm, that sounds familiar…oh yes, Week 13. Have a great week!

Once again I put on my 'pizza snob' hat on Friday night and decided rather than eat cheap takeaway pizza, I would make my own gourmet creations for some girlfriends. To me, these pizzas are so much more exciting than your local takeaway joint. You get to choose the amount of toppings you want on them, you know exactly where your produce is from so you can ensure it is healthy and fresh and if you are like me and watching your waist-line, you can easily use low fat cheese. Plus, pizzas are such a simple dish to make... just chuck the toppings on and off you go! I get my bases from Cleo's Deli in Montmorency and they are excellent quality.
Moroccan Vegetable- pizza sauce, low fat cheese, roasted eggplant, roasted pumpkin, capsicum, red onion, mushroom, zucchini, danish feta, olives, sesame seeds.
Pork and Fennel- pizza sauce, low fat cheese, red onion, pork sausage (cooked before being put on pizza), fennel seeds, fresh rocket (after cooked)
Greek Lamb- pizza sauce, low fat cheese, medium cooked lamb marinated in lemon juice and parsley, red onion, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, tzatsiki.

Becoming stay-at-home mom is not always something that women plan for. Unless it is just a life long goal of yours to do so, then many women do not think about staying home and raising children full time, until just before they begin planning their family (or during/after pregnancy).
There is a common misconception that most stay-at-home moms don’t really earn income. However, it is becoming more and more common for SAHM’s to find ways to contribute financially to their household through working, even though they are actually classified as a stay-at-home mom.
Even if you have no intentions of helping to provide financially while at home with your kids, but you do plan to return to work once they enter school, then I will provide you with some excellent tips to help keep your career on track while staying home.
No matter what you choose to do, it’s important to maintain working and professional relationships, even if you do not plan to work in an office setting. This will make the transition from home to work much smoother once you are ready to return to the workforce. This can be done by continuing to reach out to past co-workers, attending conferences and events in your field, and staying up to date on any pieces of training or education that you may need in your career.
This is probably one of the easiest items on the list to complete. Volunteering allows you to still have work experience, even if you are not getting paid for it. If you have marketable skills and are exceptional at what you do, continue to hone those skills for a nonprofit, or other organization while you are staying home. Not only that, if you volunteer with one place for an extended period of time, they can become a powerful ally once you decided to return to the workforce.
Keep LinkedIn or other resume profiles up-to-date
Keeping your resume “fresh” is highly important, as you never know when you will have to go back to work (in the unfortunate case you are forced back early). There are many ways that you can label being a stay-at-home mom, without actually using those words; “freelancer” and “consultant” are two open-ended titles that can open up many possibilities for you. Focus on the verbiage. That will be what sells you.
Side hustle if you have to
Currently, I have five different streams of income. As mentioned above freelancing and consulting work, open up a world of opportunity and it is definitely helpful to have backup plans, for your backup plan.

Temporary half day closures will take place on September 5th and 6th for the Zion-Mount Carmel Highway through Zion National Park, which connects State Route 9 between Springdale and Mt. Carmel Junction. The closures will take place between the hours of 6 a.m. and 1 p.m. to help with emergency repairs to the asphalt roadway as well as to the historic road guard walls which were damaged in July after a monsoon storm hit the park.
The storm hit the park with three inches of rain in the span of three hours. The road repairs that will be taking place on September 5th and 6th, are necessary to help prevent any future damage from occurring to these structures.
During the closure, alternate routes will be available going east and west via Highway 59 from Hurricane, Utah from Fredonia, Arizona and Highway 14 from Cedar City, Utah to Long Valley Junction and Highway 89. Those coming to the park can access the park by traveling East on State Route 9 from I-15. The Zion Visitor Center, museum, shuttle busses, campgrounds and all other park facilities will remain open and operate as normal during the road closures.

THIS OPINION HAS NO PRECEDENTIAL VALUE. IT SHOULD
NOT BE CITED OR RELIED ON AS
PRECEDENT IN ANY PROCEEDING EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BY RULE 239(d)(2), SCACR.
THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA
In The Court of Appeals
David Kaveh, Respondent,
Parton Land & Timber Company, Inc., and Custom Grading & Construction, Inc., d/b/a Carolina Earth Movers, Defendants,
of Whom Parton Land & Timber Company, Inc. is, Appellant.
Appeal From York County
John C. Hayes, III, Circuit Court Judge
Unpublished Opinion No. 2005-UP-024
Submitted November 1, 2004 – Filed January 13, 2005
Douglas F. Gay, of Rock Hill, for Appellant.
Lucy London McDow, of Rock Hill, for Respondent.
PER CURIAM: Parton Land & Timber Company, Inc. appeals the jury’s award of punitive damages to David Kaveh on his claim for conversion of timber arguing the court erred by denying its motions for judgment notwithstanding the verdict or, in the alternative, for a new trial absolute. We affirm pursuant to Rule 220(b)(2), SCACR, and the following authorities:
As to the trial court’s denial of the motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict: Rule 50(b), SCRCP (“A party who has moved for a directed verdict may move to have the verdict and any judgment entered thereon set aside and to have judgment entered in accordance with his motion for a directed verdict[.]”) (emphasis added); Johnson v. Hoechst Celanese Corp., 317 S.C. 415, 420, 453 S.E.2d 908, 911 (Ct. App. 1995) (“If a party fails to make a directed verdict motion before the jury retires, the party cannot subsequently move for JNOV.”).
As to the trial court’s denial of the motion for new trial absolute: Vick v. South Carolina Dep’t of Transp., 347 S.C. 470, 481, 556 S.E.2d 693, 699 (Ct. App. 2001) (“The jury’s determination of damages is entitled to substantial deference.”); Rush v. Blanchard, 310 S.C. 375, 379-80, 426 S.E.2d 802, 805 (1993) (“The trial court should grant a new trial based on the excessiveness of the verdict only if the amount is not merely different from that which he would have awarded, but is so grossly excessive so as to shock the conscience of the court and clearly indicates that the figure reached was the result of caprice, passion, prejudice, partiality, corruption or other improper motives.”); Vinson v. Hartley, 324 S.C. 389, 404, 477 S.E.2d 715, 723 (Ct. App. 1996) (“The grant or denial of new trial motions rests within the discretion of the trial judge and his decision will not be disturbed on appeal unless his findings are wholly unsupported by the evidence or the conclusions reached are controlled by error of law.”); McGee v. Bruce Hosp. Sys., 321 S.C. 340, 346, 468 S.E.2d 633, 637 (1996) (holding an appellant’s allegations of error by the trial court in reviewing an award of punitive damages pursuant to Gamble v. Stevenson, 305 S.C. 104, 406 S.E.2d 350 (1991) are unpreserved where the issue was not raised to the trial court).
ANDERSON, STILWELL, and SHORT, JJ., concur.
We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.

Dining is the top activity that brings people to Lexington's downtown, according to a recently completed telephone survey of Lexingtonians.
Yet downtown's dining options are considered only the fifth-best characteristic of the area; cleanliness was first with 38 percent of respondents.
"The highest rated attribute in downtown is less than 40 percent," said Phil Osborne, CEO of Preston-Osborne, which conducted the survey. "It's embarrassing. We have to change it."
The Downtown Lexington Corp. wants to change people's opinion about downtown. It plans to use data from the survey to create a targeted marketing plan to attract more people downtown.
"People don't realize that there's parking," said Renee Jackson, executive director of the Downtown Lexington Corp. "People don't realize there's nice restaurants."
In the survey, parking and shopping scored as the two worst characteristics about downtown.
People would have a better idea of the parking and shopping opportunities if the city changed the sign ordinance to allow better signage, Jackson said.
Except for the areas of night life and dining options, people who live in or work in downtown have the same general opinions about downtown as those who don't, Osborne said.
Nearly 32 percent of people said they visit downtown for leisure activities at least two to three times a month, but 41 percent said they visit downtown less than twice a year, the survey said.
Preston-Osborne's survey of 401 Lexington residents, balanced between those who live inside and outside of New Circle Road, was conducted between July 30 and August 13. The poll has a margin of error of 4.9 percentage points.

I grew up in NSW, Australia, graduating from Warilla High School in 1984. After commencing a degree in medicine and surgery at the University of Sydney, I decided blood and gore was not for me, so trained instead as a ship's officer at the Australian Maritime College. Studying at the AMC was quite an experience. I was one of the last year groups to learn to navigate by sextant, compass and nautical tables (no GPS back then!), and I sailed the world’s oceans on a wide range of merchant ships, some of which were much larger than the Titanic.
While at the college I completed a dissertation about the Russian cruiser liner Mikhail Lermontov, which sank in Marlborough Sounds, New Zealand after striking rocks. I used the ship’s plans to create a computerised model which I was then able to ‘sink’ by flooding various compartments. I concluded that the damage revealed by the divers’ report was not enough to sink the ship: either a watertight door had been left open, or there was other, hidden damage.
Another highlight of my time at the college was working on the communications and co-ordination vessel during a grand race of tall ships from Hobart to Sydney in 1988, as part of Australia’s bicentenary celebrations.
I graduated from the college with distinction and was awarded a number of prizes, including the prize for the highest marks in seamanship and ship operations, the prize for best performance in navigation studies, and the Company of Master Mariners of Australia Award for highest overall achievement in the course.
I then returned to University of Sydney to complete a combined degree in Arts and Law, while continuing to work at sea as a ship’s officer in the university holidays. In my arts degree I studied English and Music, achieving high distinctions in English and first place in Music. In my law degree I was awarded first class honours, and after graduation worked as a litigation lawyer in Sydney at Freehill Hollingdale and Page (now Herbert Smith Freehills). In the mid-1990s I moved to London and worked as a maritime lawyer at Hill Taylor Dickinson, a legal practice whose parent firm (Hill Dickinson) represented the Titanic’s owners back in 1912. It was during my time at HTD that I became obsessed with ‘the Californian incident’, and began to think about writing a book about it.
In 2002 I returned to Australia, obtained a Diploma in Education from the University of New England, and commenced teaching English at Kambala, a high school in Sydney's eastern suburbs. In 2009 I was awarded a Commonwealth Government scholarship to write a book about the Californian incident as part of a Doctorate in Creative Arts at the University of Technology, Sydney. The doctorate was conferred in November 2013. My research for the book took me to many and varied places around the world including London, Liverpool, New York, Boston and finally the Titanic wreck site itself in mid-Atlantic.
The Midnight Watch was published in 2016 by Penguin Random House in Australia, St Martin’s Press in America and Atlantic Books in the United Kingdom. For reviews and interviews click here.
Nowadays I spend my time teaching and writing in Sydney.

For school cross-country runners there is a tortuous route to a Devon County vest, writes John Perratt.
Sidmouth College organised a few races in the college grounds and out into the Byes before the East Devon trials were held on a picturesque but tough course at Bicton College, way back last October.
From there teams are selected to represent East Devon in a match against Exeter Schools and this takes the runners to the National Trust property at Killerton House. Again it is very scenic but several laps of the course take in the nasty hills at the side of the house up towards the chapel and this quickly spreads the field out.
The Devon Schools Championships took place earlier in the year at the Plymouth Life Centre. As is the custom with school cross-country, the weather was atrocious and spectators were grateful for the warmth of the nearby diving centre. Abi Pyne in her first year as an U15 did well as did Toby Garrick who was competing with the U13s. A team was then selected for the South West Championships which, this year, were held at Blaise Castle in Bristol with the seven counties of the region all taking part.
Sidmouth and the surrounding areas were well represented. The Grierson brothers Kit (U19) and Grey (U17) were 37th and 26th respectively in their age groups whilst, amongst the girls, Sidmouth College student Kate Vine finished 13th amongst the U17 girls and Tanya Marriott was 36th in the U19 section.
The highlight of the season, though, is the next step which is to compete for the county in the English Schools Championship which will take place on March 16 at Cattan Hall, Walton on Trent, Derbyshire. There are eight runners in each team and Kit and Grey, along with Tanya, have been selected as first reserves for their various categories. Kate, though, walked (or rather ran) straight into her team. We haven’t signed her up yet for the Sidmouth club but even at her young age we would love to do so.
On the other hand we do have a claim on Ellie Stone as a member despite the fact that she took a different route to the finals. Once of Sidmouth College she is now in sixth form at Woodroffe and as such has been selected to represent Dorset. Their gain is our loss.
At the other end of the spectrum, Chris Woodcock celebrated the birth of his fourth grandchild by competing in the British Masters 10-mile championships at Lytchett Manor last Sunday and picked up a bronze medal in the men’s 70-year-old category.
The race was in some doubt earlier in the year because a block at the host venue, Lytchett Minster School, was struck by lightning on Boxing Day and burnt to the ground.
With great resourcefulness though the school has purchased the steel-framed dining hall used by the athletes in the Olympic Village and, in that part of Dorset, the Olympic legacy will certainly live on.

I have just walked in the door and already, before I can remove my coat, somebody is asking me for my business card.
``How you doin`?`` he says, apparently recognizing me from somewhere, although I do not recognize him. ``Hey, let me have one of your cards.``
He does not say why he wants my card. I do not ask. I presume he wants to sell me some life insurance or put me on yet another blankety-blank mailing list. I have been through this ritual dance before. If I give him a card, I figure, maybe he`ll go away.
But, as it turns out, I do not have my cards with me. I remembered my necktie, my wallet, my keys and my pants, but I forgot to stick a few business cards in my pocket.
The stranger looks at me oddly. ``Are you sure?`` he asks, astonished.
Am I sure? You wanna frisk me? ``My office is listed in the phone book,`` I point out. I am trying to be helpful. But he walks away, casting a baleful glare, as if I have just asked him to contribute to the Ferdinand Marcos relocation fund.
I never do find out who he is or why he wants my card. But I know I have broken some sort of rule, some unwritten code of today`s professional class. This, after all, is the era that worships The Deal, and, among dealmakers and would-be dealmakers, business cards have taken on a special significance.
Just as the Algonquin people used to carry around a beaver pelt or a feather as a totem of their station in life or clannish affiliations, the business card has become a totem of modern professional life, a peace offering in the corporate jungle, a sign that you are different from, well, those who do not carry business cards.
And sometimes the card action gets rather crude, especially for the latest wave of jungle fighters to hack their way into the bush. A woman friend tells me, for example, how she has noticed a new and annoying eagerness among young professional women to show off their business cards. ``I don`t know why,`` she says, ``but as soon as you say hello, they are handing you their card. Even before they tell you their name!``
A black professional tells me he has found a similar sense of urgency among young black and Hispanic professionals. Even the silliest rituals appear to be marvelous, I suppose, for those who are new to the great audition of life. Choose me! Choose me! Here`s my card!
It is even spilling over into our mating habits. When Jerry Rubin, the former radical who decided bucks were more fun than bullhorns, began organizing ``networking`` parties for New York`s upwardly mobile set, he made business cards a criterion for admission. The card is worn, appropriately enough, as a badge.
I went to a Chicago networking party once and came out with close to a dozen cards, though I could not recall more than half of the faces that went with them. Never mind, I was told by a friend who frequents such events. When today`s complex world brings you more maddeningly frequent contacts with more people than any mortal could ever become involved with, he explained, the business card helps you sort them out at your leisure.
This, to me, is not friendship; this is souvenir collecting. I have no brass rings to offer, brothers and sisters, and I am only annoyed when someone tries to use embossed cardboard as a substitute for a genuine relationship, whether business or social.
Instead, I subscribe to the Page Principle of Professional Pecking Orders: The greater one`s real power and status, the less one`s real need for business cards.
And if you don`t know who Page is, here`s my card.

In addition, although we can hardly cancel out the party system at this point, I wish a third or even fourth party would come into power. The two-party system makes for more shenanigans and struggles and less being done.
In addition, we should limit campaign time and spending. And pay less attention to personal human failings (even our founding fathers had their unsavory secrets in their personal lives) and more on what the legislators are doing for (or to) us!
Add your comments.

Few people can say they have walked the entire way around a country. Wales might have become the world’s first nation to have a footpath all along its borders with the completion of the Wales Coast Path (WCP) in 2012, therefore making the challenge more possible. But actually doing the hike, 870 miles on the WCP, another 177 miles on the Offa’s Dyke Path (ODP) which makes up the complete Welsh circuit, so almost 1050 MILES in total… that is no easy feat. Not physically, not mentally, not logistically. Today we talk to one of the select few to have circumnavigated Wales on foot, why she did it, what it was like and what she learned as a result…
You walked right around the nation of Wales, Michelle. First of all, what inspired you to do that? Do you have a personal connection to Wales? Did you set out from the very beginning to walk the whole route?
It all started in 2013. I signed up to take part in a 26.2 mile charity walk in London called the MoonWalk in aid of breast cancer research. The walk starts at midnight and walkers
wear brightly decorated bras in order to raise awareness of breast cancer. I roped my husband into signing up: he too, wore a decorated bra!! In order to train for this marathon hike, we started walking sections of the North Wales coast path, slowly building up the mileage and finally to the stage where we could complete a 20-mile walk (Bangor to Conwy)
After completing the London MoonWalk (ten hours of non-stop walking!), I realised I had covered a quite a lot of the North Wales coast path in the preparation. The WCP had only just opened as the world’s first and longest continuous trail around the whole coast of a country the previous year. It was then that I had the idea to try and walk the whole route! I am Welsh, and was born & brought up in North Wales, which made Wales an obvious choice for trying this kind of challenge too. In my youth, I didn’t appreciate the stunning scenery of the coastal areas, so I thought attempting a hike like this might give me a chance to do that.
In terms of what else motivated me, aside from a few walking milestones by this point (in 2014, I also finished the Edinburgh MoonWalk – and in a quicker 8hrs 10 minutes!I) I had recently signed up to Twitter and started following other walkers who were walking the WCP. Reading their Tweets/blogs certainly made me more determined to keep on going. In particular, @charlesbchawes, @RuthlessTweets & @siriolg were inspirational. When I began in 2013, I didn’t know if I’d ever complete even the whole WCP, especially the sections further away from home. I walked it bit by bit and didn’t think too far ahead. Walking the ODP and thereby to complete the full circumference of Wales on foot wasn’t considered until I was finishing the WCP and wanted the next challenge.
Very impressive Michelle. So the complete path is over 1000 miles – how on earth do you plan for such an epic hike?
I didn’t complete it in one go (I work full time, so this would have been impossible)! In fact, it took me 7 years! I only walked during British Summer Time so, as soon as the clocks went forward in March, I started planning my walks & when the clocks go back in October, I hung up my walking boots until the following year. My time frame for this hike was:
- 2013: North Wales
- 2014: Llyn Peninsula
- 2015: Ceredigion
- 2016: Pembrokeshire
- 2017 Carmarthenshire/South Wales
- 2018 Anglesey
- 2019 Offa’s Dyke Path
My husband walked with me to start with, but he wasn’t keen on the distances I covered, due to an old motorcycling injury, so after reaching Aberystwyth together, he decided to bow out of the walks & opted to drop me off, pick me up & meet me half way with refreshments instead! From Carmarthenshire onwards, it was too far for him to provide the transport so I relied on public transport to get me to & from the relevant point on the WCP/ODP.
When I started walking solo, I bought the official WCP guidebooks and OS maps and planned carefully before setting off. The further away from home the route was, the longer the sections I walked, taking 2 to 5 days to walk & staying at B&Bs en-route.
The closest I came to camping was staying in a glamping pod in Tudweiliog on the Llyn Peninsula – but other than that, I opted to maximise my comforts en-route in B&Bs with a full Welsh cooked breakfast every morning!
I would always check the WCP website before setting off. Coastal erosion is a continuous problem and diversions are common. The odd diversion might seem ostensibly inconsequential, but when it adds several miles onto your day’s walk, it’s worth paying them close attention! Also, sometimes the WCP sign posts are not visible so having the official guidebook is really useful as the route is described really well. I used the official WCP guidebooks by Northern Eye Books. You might imagine it’s as simple as just following the coast, with that big landmark (the sea!!) on one side, but it’s not always! I also used the MAPS.ME app in conjunction with the guidebooks – it uses GPS to display your location so you know if you are on the right track.
I didn’t, and still don’t, spend lots of money on gear. I just have a good pair of walking shoes & walking poles. Fitness and determination are more important, I think. I only wore out two lots of footwear walking around Wales: my personal favourites being a pair of Salomon walking shoes. I never once had any blisters or toe nails coming off, which was a big plus for me because I lost 3 toenails with my first pair of shoes! The distances I walked varied but it was about 10 miles per day on average. I am capable of walking longer distances, but wanted to walk at a pace where I can appreciate my surroundings and take photos along the way.
So you did much of the path solo. How did you find that aspect of the walk?
I actually have a mention in a list of 100 women who walk solo. I like walking on my own, I can walk at my own pace (which is slow!) and I find other walkers are more likely to stop and chat to you.
There was never a shortage of people to meet on the WCP and ODP. I was always surprised how far people have travelled just to complete these walks. I have met people from Montana, LA, the Netherlands & Australia to name a few. There is a church along ODP that allows walkers in to make themselves a hot drink (for a donation) and the visitors book is signed by Offa’s Dyke walkers from all over the world. A group of Australians I walked with were saying how lucky we are in this country to have such walking trails. They said that Australia is so vast it is impossible to have do-able long distance trails. I agree, we are lucky in this country.
As hikers ourselves we know that even when you are enjoying a multi-day hike, there are highs and lows. Could you describe a couple that you had on the walk?
I had mostly just high points. One that sticks in my memory is standing at the top of Moel Famau, the highest point of the Clwydian Range of hills, with a superb 360° view around from the Cheshire Plain on the right, across to Liverpool & the Wirral, along the North Wales coast and right over to Snowdon – it was such a clear day – amazing. Another is the finish of the ODP in Prestatyn. I remember walking into Prestatyn town centre & at least 3 locals shouted over to me “keep going, not far now” and “da iawn” (very good/well done). That was an amazing feeling. It was a great feeling to finish the WCP in Chepstow, too, but, as I found ODP more challenging and strenuous, especially the Shropshire ‘switchbacks’ and the Clwydian Range, this encouragement right at the end by total strangers was the best feeling ever.
It’s true that I sometimes feel vulnerable being a solo walker – pondering over what would happen if I get injured and the like. So on stages like when I was walking over Hatterrall Ridge from Monmouthshire into Powys, I planned that route very carefully to coincide with good weather (trust me, you don’t want to get lost in the Black Mountains in bad weather). But my biggest fear is cattle! I worry about being trampled by cows. In Pembrokeshire, cattle are free to roam. I came face to face with two lively adolescent bulls on a rather narrow stretch of the WCP. I managed to get by waving my walking poles but my heart was in my mouth! I never had a moment where I wanted to give up. I even became the first person to complete ODP with a completed ODP passport! I found having a passport a great motivator, actually.
To walk round an entire country must really give you a special feeling of completion, and of having properly seen Wales in all its many types of terrain. Could you give us an insight into how that feels, and how you personally felt when you completed the path?
I do feel a sense of achievement after completing the WCP & ODP, albeit drawn out over a long time rather than all at once. I have walked through areas of Wales that, unless you are walking the coast path, you would never think of visiting. There are areas that are inaccessible by car known as ‘no get out areas’ so only walkers get to see them. Even the built up industrial areas are interesting and make good photographs. I can certainly say that I feel more of a connection to Wales now as I have walked completely around this country. I even watch Welsh walking programmes on TV just so I can say “I’ve been there”! And it makes me want to do it all over again!
On the hike, could you tell us your favourite…
Stage of the walk – and why: Aberffraw to Newborough on the Isle of Anglesey because of the amazing backdrop of the Llyn Peninsula and Snowdonia.
Beach – and why: Llangrannog in Ceredigion: a stunning beach totally hidden away down a narrow country lane.
Village/town – and why: Morfa Nefyn, and more specifically the Ty Coch Inn, mainly because of it’s location on the beach: a great place to have a pint at the end of your walk!
Castle – and why: It’s got to be Conwy. I’m a bit biased, though, because that’s where I grew up!
Place that you ate – and why: The Sloop Inn in Porthgain, Pembrokeshire: because it’s the nicest dinner I’d had for a long time and the pub still has most of it’s 18th century features.
Place that you stayed – and why: The Walking Hub B&B in Kington (actually just in England!) on the ODP. There was a warm welcome, I could soak in the bath with bath salts provided, other ODP walkers were staying there which was nice for a chat and to exchange experiences. The host even makes you a healthy packed lunch for the next day’s walk.
So now you have walked around the whole of Wales, Michelle, what is your next big hiking project? And where can we hear/find out more about it?
My next walk is going to be Glyndŵr’s Way so I can say that I have walked across Wales too! I’ll be raising funds for St. David’s Hospice. During this pandemic, they, like so many other charities, have taken a hit on their fundraising and these funds are vital to keep their services going. Any support from you readers would be invaluable.
Donate to Michelle’s St David’s Hospice fundraising page, follow her on Twitter or catch up with her latest walking adventures at her blog.

Value Groupings Make Interesting Shapes
A couple of years ago, I was teaching a workshop in Bismarck. I drove from my host’s home down Washington to BAGA, located on Front Street, each morning. It was around 8:30 am and the expressway was lit up like a jewel, making a T where the streets joined in the distance. It was impossible to photograph the view. Surrounded by cars on both sides each morning, the place I wanted to stand and capture the moment was surely a death sentence. Yet with my upcoming show at the Capital Gallery, it had to be painted. David Borlaug and Marcy Narum even went to work early to photograph the scene for me. Armed with my memory, their photograph and 14 photographs of cars driving down the streets, this scene was pulled together.
The dramatic blue cars driving on the orange streets reflecting light give instant drama to this scene. It is however, the overlapping cars, connecting often diagonally, that suggest some lane changing action. That is so much the story of going Off to Work. Look closely how the value groupings of these cars are especially interesting as together they become asymmetrical shapes.
Featuring this week’s Painting of the Week – Off to Work 30” x 48” Original Acrylic painting

Wind: The invisible threat that doggedly damages our homes in the worst of weather. Often heard and never seen, wind damage can be potentially disastrous to your home’s roofing. Visible wind damage such as dislodged shingles or missing tiles is easily spotted from below, but high winds can also lift the shingles resulting in dirt, debris and moisture getting between them creating hidden damage and endangering the integrity of your roofing. Why is this a problem for your home? When the sealing is damaged it most often results in the whole roof being compromised. Wind can also crack and break the shingles, fracturing the matting and this sort of damage is not always visible from the ground; however, it will certainly lower the life expectancy of your roofing.
January 8, 2018
We understand that replacing a roof can be expensive for homeowners and is often a daunting experience. The experts at Windtop Roofing are here to offer you their support and extensive knowledge with four tips to help you extend your roof life expectancy. Whether your roof is new or old, these preventative care tips will enable you to keep your roof in top shape and extend the life of your roof for years to come Inspect your gutters regularly A clogged gutter is bad news for your home. It can ruin the paint on the side of the building and create wet conditions in your home. When leaves and debris pile up in the gutters moisture gets trapped and water has no where to go but upwards. This causes rot
Yes, we all know a roof is a roof, however, there is a difference between a commercial roof and a residential roof. Both types of roofs are created in a unique way and designed in different styles to each other. The type of building structure will determine which quality materials are to be used on the installation or a repair of commercial and residential roofing. It is crucial to understand the differences and at Windtop Roofing we have a lot of professionals who are highly experienced in the industry. Damage to either type of roof can be expensive and in the long term if your home is not repaired it can lose its value due to damages from the weather.

What great service! I came here after another place screwed up an oil change and refused to fix it. The very helpful staff at Jiffy Lube diagnosed the issue and gave me what I needed to prove my case at the original place. And they didn't charge me a dime. I will definitely come here from now on.
Excellent Speedy Professional Service.. Chris M., C Mcconnell... explained the process, and made recommendations.. I will definitely return for scheduled work.
Overpriced bulk oil changes and you still have to wait for the service. Cheaper at different locations Wygul or Mr. Tire shop and make appointment even dealers are offering discounts now.

The great thing about being a Web 2.0 entpreneur is that you could build something usable and more importantly, noticeable, on your own dime (or a few friends and family dimes) and get it bought by confused old web media companies playing Whac-a-Mole with startups.
From what I can tell, Google actually has a vision for their acquisitions: Total digital domination from every angle. Hey, at least it's a goal, or a loose collection of many goals. Regardless, when they bought Writely and Jotspot, you could at least say, "Ah... I see, that makes sense. They're building an office suite." Or, when they bought Dmarc, you could say, "Ah... they want to dominate radio ads, too." In fact, that strategy has so much logic, you could even make the connection and ask, "How long before they buy Spotrunner?"
Try asking yourself who Yahoo! or NewsCorp will buy next... or CondeNast. Who the hell knows, really? There are a lot of acquisitive players out there that I think are making bad homes for startups.
What's worse is that, post-acquisition, some very good ideas are showing very little of the inginuity and continuous product development that made them great in the first place. It's not surprising either. If you are independent, you're trying to run for the gold, beat out your competitors, win the game. Within a big company with a little money in the pockets of the founders, it's highly unlikely the push to innovate will continue. Does anyone think Reddit is going to become any more disruptive or gamechanging at Wired? Sure, it might be more users, but expect any innovation to slow to a crawl.
And that really sucks for users. For some of these startups, we only got to see a taste of what they could have been with a little more development. What ever happened to Konfabulator anyway? Did the end users really fair much better with that company in the hands of Yahoo! than the would have had they gotten some VC funding and tried to build a bigger company? The acquisition environment we have now is really killing innovation and cutting companies off at the pass before they have a chance to make a much bigger impact on the web.
Don't get me wrong. It's hard to turn down these offers... but I was talking to an entreprenuer the other day who said to me, "Listen, I've never had the check put in front of me, but to be honest, I want to do something bigger. That's the reason why I got into this in the first place. I sort of feel like I should go big or go home." I'd like to think I'd have the same sentiment, especially seeing what seems to happen to these startups after acquisition.
At what point does anyone start wondering whether or not some of these companies are acquiring just to crush these startups?
What's your list of companies that are currently private that you hope take a shot at something bigger before getting assimmilated?

This just in...: Media watchdog David Brock buys $86,000 lunch with Rupert Murdoch
Surprise! Rupert Murdoch offered himself up as a lunch date in an online charity auction -- and was won on Thursday by David Brock, the liberal founder of media-critiquing watchdog Media Matters for America, which frequently trains its sights on Murdoch's Fox News. Brock bid $86,000, which will go to a poverty-awareness group. In a statement, Brock said he'd be contacting Murdoch's office to set up a time and place.

December 22, 2016
Listen Now [28.8 MB, length: 31:20]
Collectors are a breed apart. Quite commonly, their motivations are not simply for personal gain but as a means of ensuring that future generations can enjoy the fruits of their labours in ways that can only be imagined. In this episode, the second edition of our donor interview features, we speak to author, comic book historian and retired LAC archivist John Bell who generously donated his Hulk-sized comic book collection to LAC in 1996. His collection includes over 4,000 comic books ranging from Second World War comics to 21st century zines and related ephemera.

Join us as we showcase treasures from our vaults; guide you through our many services; and introduce you to the people who acquire, safeguard and make known Canada's documentary heritage.
Collectors are a breed apart. Quite commonly, their motivations are not simply for personal gain but as a means of ensuring that future generations can enjoy the fruits of their labours in ways that can only be imagined. In this episode, the second edition of our donor interview feature, we speak to author, comic book historian and retired LAC archivist John Bell who generously donated his Hulk-sized comic book collection to LAC in 1996. His collection includes over 4,000 comic books ranging from Second World War comics to 21st century zines and related ephemera.
John Bell traveled to Ottawa from his home in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia for the launch of the LAC exhibition, Alter Ego: Comics and Canadian Identity. LAC special collections librarian and curator of the exhibition Meaghan Scanlon gave John a quick tour before sitting down with him to talk about the amassing of his extraordinary collection. She started the conversation by asking him about his upbringing and when his love for comic books began.
John Bell: I was born in Montréal and lived there until I was about 10 [years old]. And my parents were both "Maritimers," my mum from P.E.I. [Prince Edward Island], my dad from Nova Scotia. We used to make the annual pilgrimage back to the Maritimes every year. But in '62, we moved to Halifax and my parents returned home. For me, I was being wrenched out of a kind of a utopia for kids—downtown Montréal. I lived on a base for—well it wasn't a base but a housing, a really interesting housing complex called Benny Farm, which was at Sherbrooke [Street] and Cavendish Boulevard. It looked a lot like an army base and had a brick three-story housing [unit] for veterans but each apartment also had their own garden lot so it was very progressive in that way. But we had a huge—we used to call it "the back 40"—this huge area where the kids could play so it was one of those places you just walked out the door and you had kids to play with. But the other thing I should note about that experience in growing up in Montréal in the 1950s, comic books were everywhere—but I also was a TV baby, right? Broadcasting, I think, in Canada started in Montréal in '52, the year I was born and TV was a pretty important part of our lives but comics were more important. They were everywhere, they were in the grocery stores, they were in the tobacco shops, the drug stores, and I was forever harassing my father for money to buy more comics. He had interesting ideas about comics; he had read about [Dr. Fredric] Wertham and the—and he got caught up in the anti-comics moral panic.
GM: Dr. Frederic Wertham was an American psychiatrist and author who spearheaded a campaign against comic books, which he felt were a corrupting influence on youth and would lead to juvenile delinquency. His 1954 book, Seduction of the Innocent, made a big splash at the time, but it was later revealed that he had wilfully distorted data in order to support his hypotheses. As a result, much of his work has been discredited.
JB: But he actually liked the medium itself and later on in life, one of the things I'd give him every Christmas was an Asterix album—he loved Asterix. And he used to read the comics; he was a big Li'l Abner fan and all that. For me, my reading of comics was kind of policed by them, my parents, especially him; I don't think my mother really cared but he was determined that we wouldn't read what he classified as weird comics. So what was I allowed to read? I was allowed to read Classics Illustrated kind of a bluffer's guide to world literature and those were like graphic novels almost, right? I think they ran about 48 pages or more. I remember crying over some of those—Uncle Tom's Cabin, you know—I was devastated. Some Victor Hugos, you know, they were really quite powerful. We were also allowed to read Funny Animal comics but superheroes—no way—they were weird. Anything related to crime or horror—of course there weren't that many around by that point because of the "comics code"—so no weird comics. For weird comics I had to sneak down to my friend Jackie's house. Jackie could go to the corner store and buy just about anything he wanted. So, you know, he could buy tons of trading cards and comics, and any comic he wanted. I can remember late '61 reading, up to that point, the greatest graphic narrative I'd ever read, it was just so stupendous, it was breathtaking: Fantastic Four #1.
Meaghan Scanlon: Fantastic Four #1, that's sort of the dawn of the Silver Age, right?
JB: It is, yeah, the Marvel Age of comics. But this led to some difficulties in the future because once we moved to Halifax, I had a bit of a Marvel addiction going, but there was no Jackie figure in Halifax so how was I gonna get my Marvel comics, right? There were some stores around our area in the south end of Halifax where they would sell comics for five cents, older comics—there'd be boxes at the back of the store. So I would be picking through these things and I found Amazing Fantasy #15.
MS: The first appearance of Spider-Man.
JB: And I had the first Iron Man story. Later on, I also found the first Hulk in one of these boxes for a nickel, which was great. But I knew I had to stash these things because if my old man found these weird comics, I would be in big trouble.
JB: So I found a place. We lived in a kind of an old Victorian house, in a flat where there were lots of little nooks and crannies and cupboards, so I thought I had these things extremely well-hidden. But much to my horror one Saturday, my dad was looking for something in one of these cabinets where the stash was and lo and behold, he found those two: the first Iron Man and the first Spider-Man.
JB: And… [makes a ripping sound].
JB: He ripped them. This was like one of the great traumas of my life.
MS: That's horrifying from a historical perspective as well.
JB: Oh and believe me, I'll tell you more about that later. I did tease my mum for years because eventually, what happened was I knew—okay, this was a turning point in my life. I was probably about 12 or 13 [years old]; I started looking around for an income and I was gonna make my stand once I had a flow of money. So, I got a paper route and eventually, you know, I had money, I could buy my own comics, now I had to fight for the right to read whatever I wanted. I guess when I was about 12 to 13, 13 [years old], I stood up and I said, "I'm gonna read whatever I wanna read and I'm gonna buy whatever I wanna buy and blah, blah, blah" and I won the argument.
JB: So then, I started amassing a Marvel collection. I had probably every Marvel comic except for Millie The Model and even that, a couple of Millie The Models. From about '65 to—we'll say late '64 to around late '66 or early '67—I had every Marvel comic. When I eventually left home, of course, I got diverted by other pursuits as a teenager eventually and put my comic collection aside but it was still—most of these comics had only been read once. It wasn't so fetishistic as it is now with the plastic bags and the boxes and the acid-free backing boards and all that, but I kept them in good shape, and they were in a box and they were neatly stacked. Anyway—that stuff—I left all those behind when I eventually moved out at about the age of 17 to 18. But not long after, maybe three or four years later, there was a lot of media attention devoted to auctions and the kind of prices that Golden Age American comics were getting. Imagine a Superman selling for, you know action [comics], selling for $1,000. So then I thought, "oh my god, those comics; I've left them at home, they're in a dry room in the basement, they're gonna be there" and I went back home, talked to my mom and I was headed downstairs to see my pile of comics, my Marvel collection. And it had been thrown out like about two weeks after I left.
JB: So I did tease her for years after that. I said, "You know what? Your grandsons could go to university on those comics you threw in the garbage." I hope somebody found them on the curb and they didn't just go in the landfill, but who knows.
MS: I wonder how many people have a similar story. [Laughs.]
JB: Yeah. Yeah.
MS: Just goes to show, comics have not always been valued.
MS: At all. When you started working on your collection of Canadian comics, you set out to document the entire history of Canadian comics—so I wonder, how did you start? Were there some easy targets that you were looking for or were you really just starting from a point of very little knowledge?
JB: It was really unknown territory. I mean, I think what led me to begin that collection and again, it was very much a research collection when I started. In '75, I started working at the Dalhousie University Archives and the summer before that—that was in the fall after I had graduated, a collector of Golden Age comics in Halifax had a display in the library, the Killam [Memorial] Library and I found that quite fascinating. He had amassed a remarkable collection of timely Marvel-related Golden Age comics; some of them were in extraordinary condition. He had worked at a bookstore in Halifax that bought comics and resold them. They would pay you like a nickel for a comic but people were coming in there with boxes of Golden Age comics and he was quite happy to buy them for a nickel and then buy them from the store for a dime or whatever it was, so he had an amazing collection. But he also turned me on to something called the [Comic] Buyer's Guide. The Buyer's Guide, prior to the emergence of the web and all that—the Buyer's Guide was, what was called then, an adzine but it was a tabloid newspaper, often two or three sections running to well over a hundred pages of small—there was some editorial content but essentially it was just advertising. Some big dealers would have pages, but a lot of it was just a collector selling stuff they weren't interested in and a little eighth of a page ad. So there were hundreds of people all over North America advertising in this thing. It was kind of an eye-opener for me, I didn't realize that there had been—that's where I first encountered Gene Day [Howard Eugene Day] and Dave Sim [David Victor Sim]. Dave Sim in those days was advertising in the Buyer's Guide that he would do illustrations for fanzines for 10 bucks. Everyone was selling their small press stuff and I started to notice that there were quite a few Canadians involved in this thing and it introduced me to comics fandom. I had no idea that there was such a thing. If I had known when I left all my Marvel stuff behind, it may have gone in another direction but I didn't know; I wasn't aware of the fact. At a certain point I thought, "you know what, this is way too juvenile, I'm just gonna leave it behind and get on with my life and other teenage pursuits" but little did I know that I didn't have to do that. I started getting an interest and I just took note of all this small press activity and I kind of got active. I started writing science fiction fantasy; I was contributing to Gene Day's magazine, Dark Fantasy. So in addition to all his comic art, Gene was also a major illustrator, science fiction and fantasy illustrator—in the small press, what they call the semi-pro zines. Dave [Sim] and Deni [Loubert] were launching a science fiction and fantasy magazine like Gene's Dark Fantasy. And I submitted a story to them and it was accepted.
MS: To Dave Sim?
JB: Yeah, Aardvark-Vanaheim.
MS: Right, okay.
JB: They had a little logo with an aardvark and a sword. They were gonna publish this science fiction and fantasy magazine. Well, things fell apart on that front and I think they may have gotten ripped off by a printer. I know Gene had difficulties with a printer they were both intending to use. That prompted Dave to think, "well maybe I should just take that little guy and run with him and see what happens" and so it became a comic book instead. And the rest is history.
GM: Dave Sim co-founded the small press publisher Aardvark-Vanaheim. He is best known for his comic book, Cerebus, which ran from December 1977 to March 2004, totaling 300 issues. Sim was a strong advocate of self-publishing and was instrumental in the rollout of the Creator's Bill of Rights in 1988. As his career progressed, his work became more sophisticated and metaphysical in nature, but also a vehicle for some of his often controversial views.
JB: So anyway, I started becoming increasingly aware of the fact that there were Canadian comics. In '75—well '72—I was working in bookstores and I saw the [Michael] Hirsh and [Patrick] Loubert book. That was an incredible revelation to me.
MS: So that's the book The Great Canadian Comic Books.
JB: Yes. And I thought, oh my god, there actually were Canadian comics. I couldn't believe it. I kind of hung on to that, you know, I remained interested in that but there was nowhere to go with it, there was nothing else available. Then Captain Canuck appears in '75 and Orb appears on the newsstands in Halifax as well. And then I realize, oh my god, there's Gene Day, Dave Sim and all those guys that I saw in the Buyer's Guide. There's stuff happening in Canadian comics, there's a lot of artists out there and I thought, you know, it would be interesting to, kind of—then I had discovered a few giveaways and I realized there were comics published in Canada. What was the extent? How many publishers were there? So initially I thought, you know what, I'll do a little checklist for one of the fan publications, The Comic Reader or one of the other journals devoted to comics fandom. And so I started working on that with a view to doing an article and it just grew from there.
JB: You know, little did I know. I mean Bell Features wasn't the only publisher active in the '40s.
GM: Bell Features was one of the major Canadian comic book publishers from the Second World War era. LAC holds 382 comics from this publisher including legendary superheroes Nelvana of the Northern Lights and Johnny Canuck. To be clear, this is a separate collection from the one John Bell donated to LAC.
JB: When I first plunged in and decided to—I really thought I was preparing a small article, a checklist but no.
MS: Not so much.
MS: So clearly, the extent of it surprised you. And so I imagine….
JB: It did, yeah.
MS: Did your collection balloon quickly? Did it take a while? Did it start to get to a point where you felt like oh my god this is out of control?
JB: Oh yeah! It did, yeah. I mean, as the white long boxes continued to fill, I thought "oh my god, you know, where's this gonna end?"
MS: "Do I need a second house?"
JB: And the thing that really killed me in terms of collecting—that went on for about 20 years, right? My collection, it took about 20 years to build. But what really made it impossible to continue—because that scope I developed over time. I didn't want to distinguish between self-published and small press. I mean I thought a lot of the real creativity and energy was in the small press and I really admired that. And so I didn't distinguish. For me it was original comics published in Canada; I wasn't interested in the reprints. That's what I was hoping to document in English and regardless of format or where it was published or by whom it was published. But what really made it impossible over time, by the mid- to late '90s, was something as simple as the evolution of photocopy technology.
MS: Oh yeah.
JB: I connected with Sim and Gene and those people through a magazine. I published a Canadian science fiction magazine titled Borealis; I did two issues of that. In order to do that magazine and to make it look professional or semi-professional, I had to lay the thing out; I did all my typesetting on an IBM Selectric and then shot it down 30%. So I did three columns, I did all the design and layout work myself. It was literally a kitchen table thing but that was offset printing, that's expensive. I had to get PMTs [Photo Mechanical Transfer] made, I mean it was really an expensive undertaking. I got a bit of a break because the printer in Halifax who I was working with, he just thought this was so cool—comics and science fiction and he was having fun doing it, just like your designers have had so much fun working on your show. People love this stuff, right? So I got a bit of a break but nonetheless, it was an expensive thing to publish a decent-looking black-and-white comic, even black-and-white comic. But photocopy technology by '96 to 97—late '95, yes, '95 let's say—it was pretty good; it almost looked professional.
This is the era where Chester [Brown]'s coming out with Yummy Fur and selling on the streets of Queen Street West and that whole milieu is emerging in Toronto. That kind of small press scene, that's happening all over the country as people respond to other people doing it, right? So you see this explosion of minis; they're everywhere, a lot of them. They're very, very local. They're not advertising in the Buyer's Guide. They're handing them out in the streets of—you know—Winnipeg, Montréal, Hamilton, Saskatoon, Dartmouth. Then my goal of being exhaustive, well I had to abandon that. I knew that it would then become a collective thing if the story was going to be told from a bibliographical point of view—if you were gonna document it all in an authoritative way, you would then need a team of people. One person couldn't do it and I tried; I corresponded with everyone. I would often go—you know—I'd see examples of something and then I'd correspond with the artist and they'd say, "Oh no, that's not my first mini, I did 15 others, I've got maybe 10 of them left." So I corresponded with a lot of people, tried to continue it but I was starting to get exhausted, frankly. And there was real fatigue building and I thought, you know what, I've done my bit, I probably pushed this as far as I could and…
MS: Fair enough.
MS: In terms of thinking sort of archivally and bibliographically about original order, I'm wondering, did you have a system for keeping it organized? It must have been a challenge to remember what you had.
JB: Yeah. I didn't do it so much as—again, because it was for me a research collection, I did have a record, but it wasn't necessarily of my collection. I had an ongoing bibliography that I would continuously update. And then as for the comics and the cels [celluloids], I basically, unless they were oversized, I just kept them in long boxes in alphabetical order regardless of format; so I kept it simple that way.
MS: Interesting because we have them in alphabetical order now.
JB: Oh good!
MS: Yes [Laughs].
JB: Well I remember the day after I donated it and Michel began work on it with Kevin. I had a sabbatical, kind of a self-financed sabbatical that dragged on for almost two years in Nova Scotia—went back home and was living in Lunenburg County for two years. So then I came back and Michel grabbed me and said, "You've got to come see your collection." And, you know, I had it stuffed in these long boxes almost as tightly as you could put the stuff in there, but he had them all now in mylar, each individual comic was in mylar; they were out on the library shelves and spread out that way. I have to say that I was impressed. [Laughs.] Oh my god, I collected all that?!
MS: It does take up a lot of shelf space. [Laughs.]
JB: But of course, even after I gave it up and handed it over to you guys [Library and Archives Canada], well then I would stumble on things. You know, I thought if I don't buy these mini comics now, right, no one's ever gonna document these things or collect them so every once in a while you'd get another little donation from me because I just felt somebody should preserve this and document it.
GM: Meaghan asked John if there were any comic book finds that were particularly exciting to him.
JB: I was excited about any new Canadian comic that I found so I didn't really care; I didn't distinguish between them particularly. So if it was new and I hadn't documented it [yet], I felt like I had accomplished something. But I did go into a comic book shop, which was mostly a science fiction bookstore in Halifax but there was a comic component as well. The guy who ran it knew me and he said, "I've got something Canadian you might be interested in" and I said, "Oh, okay." He pulled out this long box and it was the compilation volumes in my collection, the Bell Features, it was full of those.
JB: Other Bell Features comics, Bell Features original negs [negatives] that they shot the comics from, some Bell Features pre-comics advertising projects in downtown Toronto and manuscript material,…
MS: Oh, wow!
JB: …correspondence—their correspondence with Archie comics on the reprints and sample contracts. I said, "Where did you get this stuff and why is this in Halifax?" He kind of fudged it, he said, "I got it from a guy from Ontario who knew Bell" or you know. He never really did nail the provenance down but I thought I gotta take this, right? [Laughs.] I gotta rescue this stuff.
MS: Safe to say, yeah. [Laughs.]
JB: Yeah. I'll provide it with a good home. That was a surprise to think that I would find original Bell Features manuscript material. That was donated to the Archives and you've got the comics.
MS: Did you ever have a sort of a "white whale"? Was there any title that someone told you, "you know I heard about this Canadian comic" and you took—I don't know—years to track it down or anything like that?
JB: No, I don't think so. Nothing comes to mind in that vein. They were all white whales.
JB: There was way more than one white whale.
MS: It's a whole ocean of Moby Dicks.
JB: Yeah! I mean, you think about, you're trying to document an aspect of Canadian publishing where—I mean apart from the Library's legal deposit holdings right, and the stuff that came in with Bell Features and the few scattered copies of Golden Age comics and some archival collections out west—I mean, in terms of English-Canadian comic book publishing, there was nothing. There were no holdings. There was no record. There was no bibliography. There was no historical narrative. There was nothing, so they were all new discoveries, they were all white whales or minnows or whatever.
MS: Do you have a few favourite items from the collection? Any favourite artist?
JB: Well, I think in terms of—my favourite part of the collection would be the mini comics and the early small press stuff. I just think there's so much creativity and energy wrapped up in those publications especially that first wave, you know, in the late '80s, early '90s. I find that stuff really exciting visually and I think that's probably my favourite part. The Golden Age stuff, I'm fond of that. You've got one of my favourite images in the exhibition, which is that Nelvana [of the Northern Lights] cover in colour, you know, that's spectacular.
MS: Yeah, and quickly becoming a pretty well-known image too.
JB: That should become an icon, right?
MS: Definitely. Well, Canada's first superheroine.
MS: As we know, she predates Wonder Woman even a little bit.
JB: That's right.
MS: We all love Nelvana.
JB: I'd just like to say that I'm really happy to see that the collection's being utilized finally, and you know, that other people—I mean the reason—I collected it so that I could eventually do my own narrative of Canadian comics' history, but I donated it so that other people could use it and tell, perhaps, different stories or focus on different aspects. And I think you've done a wonderful job in the exhibition and I'm glad to see that other scholars are coming in and drawing upon it. That's why it's here. And so that's very gratifying because you know one temptation when I started thinking—about '95 to '96 that it was time to relinquish those comics, you know—I could've easily broken it up and sold it off piecemeal but I didn't want to do that. I mean it held an awful lot of effort that had gone into accumulating it all; I hoped that I could find a home for it. I'm really glad to say that I'm happy that I found the right home.
MS: Well I'm glad. And I will tell you, the comic books are some of the most often requested material that we have.
JB: Fantastic! I'm really glad to hear that.
MS: Yes, it's a growing area of research so we are very lucky to have your collection, so thank you.
JB: Thank you!
MS: Thank you again for being here today with us.
JB: Thanks a lot. I enjoyed it.

I am sorry, but no rescue will work with such a dog. And no shelter will do anything with him but euthanize him.
I agree with one important caveat: no responsible
rescue or shelter will take this dog. Not with that bite history.
You may, if you look long enough and are willing to pay generously enough, find a less responsible rescue and/or "no-kill sanctuary" that is willing to take the dog.
I would be very, very careful about entrusting any dog to such an organization. While it's tempting to imagine that they offer a happy solution to your dilemma, the great majority of groups willing to take dogs with this type of bite history are clueless, delusional, and/or exploitative, and the fate that ultimately awaits animals in their care is far worse than the merciful end of a needle.

William Latham was a student at Oxford University and the Royal College of Art. Trained as an artist with skills in painting, sculpture and printmaking he became fascinated by Evolution and the potential that computers offered the artist. His work at IBM is known throughout the world, and has been featured in numerous newspapers, magazines (including Mondo 2000, New Scientist and Scientific American), and TV programmes (Beyond 2000, Tomorrow's World, Horizon), in addition to citations in many computer graphics textbooks. Latham's bizarre style of organic imagery has been exhibited in the UK, Japan, Germany and Hong Kong with much critical acclaim. He is co-author of "Evolutionary Art and Computers" with Stephen Todd (Academic Press, 1992), which related work resulted in a number of patents.
From 1988 to 1994 he worked as an independent with IBM Research in the UK developing evolutionary techniques and software that have become known around the world in computer circles. The MUTATOR code developed with Todd can be used for evolving designs of buildings or shampoo bottles or be used for financial planning when linked to a spreadsheet package.
His video installation "ORGANIC TELEVISION" was shown at The Royal Festival Hall in London in 1994. Merchandising includes posters, postcards and VHS Video "ORGANIC TELEVISION" (ambient soundtrack by French composer, Michel Redolfi). In 1995 William showed multimedia software at the international show of Modern Art "ARS 95" in Helsinki, Finland and created a giant inflatable pink pumpkin with televisions for the exhibition at "European Computer Art" in Hong Kong. In 1993 growing dissatisfied with the art and research worlds he started to think about producing more popular art forms for the world mass market. In 1993 he met Mark Atkinson they founded Computer Artworks and the rest is history.
More recently, after leading Computer Artworks for 10 years (with successes such as the hit game The Thing), he founded Games Audit Ltd. (in 2003), and joined Goldsmiths College in early 2007 as a Professor of Computing, where, together with Prof. Frederic Fol Leymarie, he is again leading research in genetics and arts (with the Mutators Research Group or MRG, which includes Stephen Todd, his old collaborator from IBM days) and initiating a post-graduate program in Computer Games and Entertainment (to begin in 2008).

There is something about bagpipe music that just makes me smile -I have no idea what it is. So when I finished my shift at the booth I was volunteering for, it was perfect timing to grab a cup of chai from the Beverage Station in the centre court of the mall and grab a seat and listen to a procession being piped in by a member of the Delta Police Pipe Band. It was quite the sight to see Mayor Wayne Wright in all his finest office accoutrements along with Sir James Douglas, Councillor Jaimie McEvoy, John Irving – all were bedecked in appropriate debating garb. I have to apologize for the quality of these photos – my camera died and these were taken using my cell phone.
The debate did not disappoint. True to misogynistic form, Sir James Douglas downplayed his decision to build parliament in Victoria and steal away the capital city moniker from New Westminster, by suggesting that it was simply to restore the declining city of Victoria. He resisted the idea that it had something to do with nepotism and displayed shock when Mayor Wright reminded him of a few of his shadier deals. Both McEvoy and Mayor Wright were well informed and the spluttering James Douglas certainly lost the debate. The assembled crowd snickered and laughed a few times throughout the debate – it was entertaining to see such great pieces of our collective history come alive.
There was a pretty decent sized crowd assembled, including many members of council:
Mayor Wright also took advantage of this debate to remind citizens that New Westminster has big plans for the future of our Fraser River waterfront, and the crowd responded with cheers – I’m anxious to see plans.
Kudos goes to the actors who portrayed the famous Canadians so well and to the city staff and volunteers who organized such a unique mock debate.

Caro loses to Domi 3 and 3, Vera loses to Flavia, 5 and 5, and in the best match of the tournament so far, Sveta takes out Sam, 36 63 64. That's #1, #2, and #4 out in one day. Ouch.
Caro was predictably delusional in her presser. More on that later.
As for Vera, she acknowledged, as she should, that Flavia is no slouch, but it was her inconsistency that was her undoing. "There were some good points, good shots, and there were some bad points and bad shots. I think overall the consistency wasn't there, but I tried to, you know know, keep doing what I had to do. There were moments where I was thinking too much about technical stuff, sometimes too much about tactical stuff, and I was not able to find that good balance between playing technically good and tactically good. That imbalance gave me a lot of inconsistency."
The kid has a way with words. More:
"I came here from Hong Kong, and I didn't really get the chance to really play points and some practice sets, so of course I had to try to find my rhythm in the match. Different conditions from what I've been training in and what I played in Hong Kong. The courts are different, balls are different, windy. So taking all this in consideration, it was very difficult for me to produce very good tennis today. but I tried my best, and I definitely can see some moments where I can improve. That's why I'm pretty conident and positive that next few days, if I train well and if I play those practice sets, I will be able to put it together. Then i can really raise the level of my game for the Australian Open."
So there you go. It was actually a really positive presser from Vera. She was smiley, had good perspective, and as always, thoughtful. But watching a bit of her match all I could think was that she didn't look as fit as she did in New York or Doha. She seems to be carrying a bit of extra weight and I honestly couldn't tell if it was "unfit" weight or "hit the gym and bulked up JJ-style" weight. But it worried me.
And then there's this girl, who I must say, I'm the least worried about. There's no shame in losing to Sveta when she's playing well. And by golly she played great today. As she acknowledged afterwards, it was for sure the best she'd played since San Diego. I mean, Sveta was hitting the ball into the court, you guys. That's a victory in and of itself. She did a good job of moving Sam around the court, but also holding her own in their brutally crushing forehand rallies. You want to see some hitting? Watch a Sam and Sveta match when they bring their B+ games. Holy crapola.
Sam played well. She served at 75% and was 2/2 on her break point chances. But her forehand let her down on the big points, missing by less than a centimeter a few times. She's feeling confident going into Melbourne, though. She'll stick around Sydney to practice given the weather issues in Melbourne making practice courts scarce. Then again, I'm writing this as the skies have opened up to cancel matches, so I'm not too sure the weather here is that great either.
And for those who are wondering, her family hasn't been affected by the horrible flooding in Queensland. Knock on wood.

Even though it has already been rumored that the near-final Windows 7 RC will be ready for testers in April, and the public at large by May, a recent leak coming from Microsoft’s own website has all but confirmed this information. Apparently, someone jumped the gun over at Redmond and posted the download page a bit early onto TechNet.
The document was pulled shortly thereafter but not before the information it contained made its way onto several websites. Specifically, it indicates the Windows 7 release candidate is due to be published in May 2009, it will be at least available through June 2009 with no product key limitation, and will expire on June 1 2010. It also details hardware requirements for the release, which are still the same as those for the beta.
By now it is probably safe to assume Microsoft will indeed deliver Windows 7 in its final form before the end of the year – it’s just a question of exactly when. A launch around August or September seems right for the company to perhaps catch some back-to-school sales and build up their marketing efforts into the fourth quarter.

Direct Energy Rolls Out Demand Response from Siemens
Siemens Smart Grid has signed a contract with Direct Energy to install a Demand Response Management System (DRMS) that Direct Energy can use for multiple Independent System Operators (ISOs).
As a retail utility, Direct Energy will roll out the Siemens DRMS to manage its existing load commitments in multiple ISO regions, including PJM, ISO-NE, ERCOT and NYISO.
The companies say the deal represents Siemens’ largest demand response project in the world.
The coordinating element of Siemens DRMS helps keep a balance between supply and demand. Siemens DRMS will integrate with sub-metering devices located at each Direct Energy utility account and collect consumption data. Direct Energy can then use the information to better determine the amount of energy it needs to transact into the marketplace.
Direct Energy currently offers demand response programs in the US but with Siemens’ integrated DRMS, Direct Energy will be able to expand its offering of various demand management programs throughout the US and Canada.
Integration of the DRMS will be supported by OMNETRIC Group, a Siemens and Accenture Company.

Also did you check your tire pressures?
your logic seems logical. also the drag coefficient for the hatch is higher than the sedan = more wind noise.

The Top 10 Best Brian May Queen Songs
The finest cuts from Queen's endlessly creative cloud-haired riff-master
If Freddie Mercury was the pilot soul of Queen, lead guitarist Brian May was its engine, stoking the songs that elevated them into a stratosphere occupied by only a select few rock bands. He was a more than capable songwriter too, his dexterity allowing him to fuse elements of folk, prog, metal and classic pop into visions that were as grandiose as they were ambitious.
10) The Prophet’s Song (A Night At The Opera, 1975)
The seeds of one of Queen’s most expansive and exacting numbers were sown while May was recovering from illness during the sessions for Sheer Heart Attack. He dreamt of a great flood, funnelling the imagery into this bombastic prog-rock epic, featuring tape effects, a Japanese toy koto and Freddie Mercury’s vocal canon.
9) Brighton Rock (Sheer Heart Attack, 1974)
The seaside romance between Jimmy and Jenny ('A happy pair they made, so decorously laid / ‘Neath the gay illuminations all along the promenade') unfolds over May’s own dramatic pomp-rock setting, the highlight of which is a huge guitar solo marked by delay and echo. The sprawling version on Live Killers finds him cutting loose in breathtaking style.
8) Dead On Time (Jazz, 1978)
Arguably May’s most underrated Queen song, Dead On Time features one of Mercury’s finest vocals and a feast of terrific ensemble playing. May is on spectacular form, as nimble and agile as he is truculent and heavy. It also boasts a brief reprisal of Keep Yourself Alive and May’s recording of a thunderclap during a violent storm, prompting him to share the songwriting spoils with God on the sleevenotes.
7) Hammer To Fall (The Works, 1984)
Come the early ‘80s, Queen’s immersion in synth-pop didn’t always go down well with longtime fans. But The Works went some way to redressing the balance, reminding us all that May was the master of the mighty riff, not least on this straight-to-business hardline rocker. Despite the Cold War connotations and the Grim Reaper allusions, it quickly became a euphoric live favourite.
6) Fat Bottomed Girls (Jazz, 1978)
Locating his inner Benny Hill, May shares vocals with Mercury on this shameless celebration of the fuller female form and the male libido. Cue references to stiff bones, blue-eyed floozies and “big fat Fanny”, the naughty nanny. Issued as a double A-side with Bicycle Race, the other thing that made its rocking world go round was May’s evil guitar lick.
5) 39 (A Night At The Opera, 1975)
May’s intriguing swerve into “sci-fi skiffle” required him to take the lead vocal himself on this oddly endearing tale about space travellers who return home to find that Einstein’s theory of relativity has pissed about with time and all their loved ones are now dead or infirm. The use of 12-string acoustic guitar teases out the folkier, stranger elements here.
4) The Show Must Go On (Innuendo, 1991)
Essentially Freddie’s farewell, with May offering a measured solo and a suitably dramatic arrangement, The Show Must Go On was written as an enduring testimony to Mercury’s relentless drive. He delivers a grandstanding performance, despite May’s reservations about whether the frontman’s rapidly ailing health would allow him to even sing it. Downing a stiff vodka, Mercury assured him: “I’ll fucking do it, darling”.
3) Keep Yourself Alive (Queen, 1973)
Nobody bought Queen’s debut single, despite its banks of multi-tracked guitars, call-and-response vocals and killer chorus. Full of phased effects, it’s also a majestic example of May’s studio perfectionism, proving that the band had a heightened sense of grandiosity from the off. May was harder to please though, regretting later that “it never had that magic that it should’ve had.”
2) We Will Rock You (News Of The World, 1977)
U2, Nirvana, Prince and Stone Temple Pilots are just a tiny handful of those who’ve covered this unassailable stomp anthem, taken from 1977's News Of The World, initially inspired by a rousing crowd rendition of You’ll Never Walk Alone after a Queen gig in Birmingham. Mercury leads the rap‘n’clap charge, of course, but it’s May’s roaring solo that brings the thrills.
1) Now I’m Here (Sheer Heart Attack, 1974)
Written in hospital after May had been laid low by hepatitis, Now I’m Here was written, as Mercury put it, “to show people we can still do rock‘n’roll, [that] we haven’t forgotten our roots.” It was also a salute to Queen’s support dates with Mott The Hoople in ’74 ('Down in the city / Just Hoople and me'). From its chugging intro to its explosive chorus, this is Queen at their most eruptive.

HOLYOKE - Employees at Sealed Air Corp. in Holyoke will get quicker at switching their manufacturing equipment from a run of one product to another with the help of $47,310 in workforce training grants from the state Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development .
"It's Lean Manufacturing. There are just a ton of little things you can do to get quicker and more efficient, said Pamela Nielsen, manager of the plant on Homestead Avenue.
The grant is expected to train 68 of the plant's 100 employees and help create two additional jobs. The factory makes packaging, Nielsen said.
Sealed Air is joined locally by companies in Chicopee, Granby, Greenfield, Holyoke, North Adams, Palmer, Pittsfield, Turners Falls, West Springfield and Westfield. All told, the grants total $5.7 million at 72 companies across the state, according to a news release from the Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development.
The money is not free, said Nancy L. Snyder, president and CEO of Commonwealth Corp., a quasi-public economic development agency that runs the program for the state. Companies pay a tax on their unemployment insurance premiums into the fund. which yields $18 million to $21 million a year.
Companies have to apply through a competitive process with a rolling deadline, Snyder said. They don't get all the granted money at one time, but instead have to meet progress benchmarks in order to get incremental payments, Snyder said in a telephone interview.
Snyder said a lot of the training programs are necessary because a major customer's needs have become more sophisticated. Many local manufacturers are subcontractors for larger original equipment suppliers. Sometimes those original equipment manufacturers need sophisticated ISO and Federal Aviation Administration certifications.
Besides Sealed Air, recipients include:
- Coviden Lp, in Chicopee, with $143,300 awarded to train 225 employees and create six new jobs.
- C&G Machine Tool Inc., in Granby, received $27,093 and will train nine employees with plans to add one additional employee.
- Cascade School Supplies, of North Adams, was awarded $21,120 to train 21 employees and add two more jobs.
- Rathbone Precision Metals, of Palmer, received $102,108 to train 35 employees and hire four more people.
- Excelsior Printing Co., of Pittsfield, received $11,858 for a technical assistance planning grant.
- Pittsfield Plastics Engineering received $28,000 to train 84 employees and add nine new jobs.
- Nex Performance Films, of Turners Falls, received $71,750 to train 56 employees and add six new jobs.
- Kielb Welding Enterprises, in West Springfield, was awarded $26,400 to train eight employees and add one job.
- Boise Cascade Building Materials Distribution, in Westfield, received $55,200 to train 56 employees wtih three new jobs expected.
- Peerless Precision Inc. was awarded $34,530 to train 18 employees and create one new job.

Post #1 of 6
Most people don´t realize this but Veracruz State is one of the most beautiful regions of Mexico and I am not speaking of the Gulf of Mexico here. If one simply drives down the cuota from the flatlands south of Cordoba to Chiapas or Tabasco then one is missing one of the most spectacularly beautiful environments in Mexico. The entrance to the state from Puebla State descending the plateau into Orizaba is incredibly scenic but anyone driving that route knows that.
*At Orizaba, get off of the toll road and drive through Cordoba on the free road. You will only add about 30 minutes to your journey but you will add immensely to your life´s experience. Talk about a beautiful drive and do not miss a side trip through the wonderful gardens of Fortin de Las Flores.
*Leave the toll road and drive through the Tuxtlas and by Lake Catemaco and you will be amazed at the verdant countryside you will pass while adding only an hour or so to your drive time to Southern Mexico. Stop for lunch at Catemaco and enjoy a cold beer with your lunch at lakeside.
There is much more to see in this beautiful state but I have run out of time for now. More later.

Less than two months after the draft, 209 of 254 draft picks are now under contract.
That leaves (. . . removes one from the five . . .) 45 unsigned draft picks.
Most of the unsigned rookies were taken in the first round, where 24 players have yet to ink contracts. Fights are looming between the Dolphins and defensive end Dion Jordan at No. 3, the Eagles and tackle Lane Johnson at No. 4, and possibly the Browns and linebacker Barkevious Mingo at No. 6 over the issue of offsets for guaranteed money.
There also will be an effort to extend the four-year guarantees beyond pick No. 20. Last year, Titans receiver Kendall Wright (the 20th pick) was the last player to get all four years fully guaranteed. This year, Bears guard Kyle Long (the 20th pick) already has signed a contract including fully guaranteed pay for all four years.
In rounds two through seven combined, only 21 players are unsigned. No fights or squabbles are anticipated.
The process has become much easier under the 2011 CBA, which instituted a much tighter rookie wage scale — and which reduced the number of issues on which teams and agents can haggle.

Snotrac is proud of those who serve our country, and we want to make sure they can get to where they need to go.
Snohomish County is home to an estimated 51,606 veterans; of those veterans; 21,196 are above the age of 65; 2,061 veterans’ income lived below the poverty level for the past 12 months; and 13,322 veterans are living with a disability.*
An estimated 17,749 veterans served during the Vietnam era — this is the highest count of veterans by service period. Veterans consist of 8.7% of the population in Snohomish County, compared to 7% of the national population.
*Data is from US Census 2019 ACS 5-Year Survey, the United States Census Bureau will not release its standard 2020 ACS 1-Year estimates due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on data collection. For more detailed information please see data.census.gov.
Our veterans face unique mobility challenges. Approximately 41% of veterans living in Snohomish County are currently 65 years or older, and 26% of veterans have a disability. These percentages will continue to rise, as 10,384 veterans are currently 55-64 years old.
With 23,019 veterans that served in the Gulf War Era from 1990 to 2001 and later, it is expected that the percent of disabled veterans will also increase. Dependable transportation services and readily accessible information to services will be critical in supporting our aging Veteran and disabled Veteran community.
More than 9 million veterans receive health care from the Department of Veteran Affairs each year. However, transportation to places such as the VA medical centers or community-based outpatient clinics, and other Veteran resources are not a guaranteed service. This poses a major issue for veterans, especially those living in rural areas, living with significant disabilities, or do not have an adequate support network, that lack access to transportation.
Below we highlight some transportation services provided to Snohomish County veterans, look at success stories of expanding transportation access to the veteran community and provide a list of gathered resources veterans can access within Snohomish County and the Puget Sound Region.
Within Snohomish County 41% of veterans are 65 or older, 26% are living with a disability, and around 4% have lived below the poverty status for the past 12 months. These are all factors that impact the veteran community’s ability to travel and receive health care or other services.
For instance older veterans may be comfortable with driving close to home, but traveling from Everett to the VA Puget Sound Health Care System located in Seattle may be more difficult.
Cost also presents a barrier, such as paying for fuel, car maintenance, or general cost of public transportation.
Lack of a support network for veterans is also a barrier as family members may not always be available to provide transportation during appointment times.
Veterans living in rural areas often experience a combination of these conditions, in particular, having fewer access to local health care providers compared to veterans living in more urban areas.
These issues are also more prevalent to veterans with mental health concerns, as inability to receive proper care have shown to increase the risk of suicide.
These are all factors that affect Veterans’ quality of life and livelihood.
VA Transportation Programs
Highlighting the Veteran Affairs Programs in Snohomish County:
The Beneficiary Travel Program is the VA’s oldest transportation program. The program reimburses eligible veterans or family members for travel costs (mainly mileage costs, costs of special transportation or hired vehicles) to a scheduled VA or VA-authorized health care appointment.
The Veteran Transportation Service provides transportation for veterans to a scheduled VA or VA-authorized health care appointment. The program began as a piolet program in 2010, and has resulted in better health care outcomes for veterans and lowered cost for the VA, for example in 2014 the VA spent $12 million less than if trips were reimbursed through the Beneficiary Travel Program.
The Disabled American Veterans, or "DAV," is a transportation program that operates closely with Veteran Affair Medical Centers. The DAV donates purchased vehicles to Veteran Affair Medical Centers, arrange rides for veterans, and DAV volunteers operate the vehicle. Services are free and can provide transportation to qualified veterans to American Lake and Seattle VA Medical Centers. Qualified riders must be able to walk as vehicles are not lift-equipped.
Understanding Needs and Improving Transportation
Developing relationships between Veteran Transportation mobility managers and community partners have improved availability of transportation and accessibility of information for veterans.
Austin, Texas: Veteran Transportation Services Regional Coordinator partnered with TxDOT to inform transit providers of Veterans’ transportation needs, also encouraging human service agencies to refer veterans to VTS. This led to Austin-based Capitol Area Rural Transit System (CARTS) and Temple-based Hop to coordinate transfer points for rural veterans to VTS vans.
Roseburg, Oregon: VTS mobility manager partners with TransLink to allow veterans to fill empty seats on Medicaid-funded services. A $100,000 grant from the state pays for rides on TransLink. They were also able to work with UTrans to allow veterans to purchase a $30 pass for unlimited rides. Demand for the service has created a permanent route for UTrans vans to travel twice a week to Roseburg VAMC.
Seattle: Hopelink was able to develop a centralized on-line resource of all public and private transportation services for Veterans ,VetsGO, which has now been incorporated into a larger database FindaRide.org.

EUEM is fully capable of being install on Hyper-V (2008 R2 and 2012 versions) but there is a catch:
An EUEM collector installed as a virtual machine on a Hyper-V host is unable to capture traffic on the wire, even though checks on the host system validate traffic is present.
You can install (using the iso downloads of EUEM) the APMC(Application Performance Management Console), PAE (Performance Analytics Engine), Analyzer and Collector but you are limited to what this collector can see due to the fact that currently, Hyper-V does not support promiscuous mode.
There are options however:
1. If you are using a GRE or ERSPAN tunnel to feed traffic, the EUEM collector still supports this, and these do not require promiscuous mode. While untested, F5 clonepools should also work due to the fact that it will span data to a specific ip.
2. You can install the EUEM Cloud Probe as a service on the Windows host. Once running, it can be configured to send its data to the EUEM Collector running as a VM.
3. You can contact your sales team to look into acquiring a hardware appliance to run as a collector instead, or run the collector on one of our other supported platforms.
Have any comments regarding this? Feel free to ask!

Good morning and Happy Friday!! Gotta love a three day weekend to get to the weekend that much quicker. One of my bosses is gone today, I think the other one will only be in this morning, and I’ll be able to finally get some shit off my desk. Whoop!
I made this delicious chia pudding yesterday. I stopped by Beatrix on my way to work and picked up $2 of accessories to go on top – some toasted almonds, dried cranberries, citrus and cantaloupe – so good!
I had to run an errand for work, so no Biz and Jenn show yesterday. I got out for a bit and went to the Farmers Market – bought some tomatoes to make pasta sauce this weekend. It was such a gorgeous day.
How gorgeous are these tomatoes?
My office had a luncheon for the attorneys – they ordered way too much food. I ate half of this hummus chicken wrap and brought the rest home to put on my leftover pizza I was making for dinner.
Those kefta meatballs I made were sliced and topped my pizza. However, I can’t believe I am about to say this, but I only had ONE ounce of Trader Joe’s light mozzarella cheese – cannot wait to do a TJ run this weekend. I used Alouette cucumber dill as the base of this pizza, with 2 points of my sliced kefta, the leftovers from the wrap above – romaine, spinach, tomatoes, beets, olives and a bit of feta cheese.
I drizzled with a bit of my golden tumeric sauce, and this my friends, was an epic 10 point pizza – swoon!
My skinny pizza dough is about 6 days old and it literally gets better every day its in your fridge.
So I have been at a plateau for a long time – like the first six months. Yes, I haven’t gained all my weight back, I am maintaining a many years 34 pounds off of the 70 I originally lost, but I am just going through the motions. I think I’ve been doing WW so long that I’ve just become complacent.
But here’s the thing, without WW, I’d have already gained back those 34 pounds that I’ve managed to keep off, so I have that.
For the month of June I’ll be carb cycling. I did it several years ago and I think I lost 10 pounds in a month. I’ll still be counting points (and probably calories too because I am like that!). Who knows maybe after a week I will say F this – but I know being diabetic, having lower carb days could help control my diabetes.
So I’ll keep you posted. I’ll do daily recaps of my eats and workouts. Wish me luck!
Happy Friday friends – make it a great day and don’t eat like an asshole!

When former Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi was dragged from a drainage pipe in his hometown of Sirte and summarily executed by rebel forces in October 2011, much of the world looked at the event optimistically as the end of a 42-year dictatorship and a chance for the country to move forward.
In reality, however, the power vacuum left by the fall of Gaddafi’s regime, along with vast stockpiles of unguarded weapons free for the taking, created a security nightmare that not only continues to threaten the region to this day, but also has broader implications for the long-term global struggle against violent extremism. Life in Libya under Gaddafi was bad; life in Libya today may arguably be worse.
With two rival governments now competing for power – the internationally recognised House of Representatives in Tobruk, supported by the Libyan National Army; and the General National Congress in Tripoli, supported by the Libya Dawn militia – Libya appears locked in what has become be a long and bloody civil war with no end in sight.
The consequences of Libya’s collapse could not be starker. As we have seen in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen and elsewhere, the fracturing of Libya and the absence of the rule of law has allowed violent Islamist extremist groups, particularly the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) group and Al-Qaeda, to thrive there.
For Isil, control of Libya is of significant strategic value. Apart from Syria and Iraq, Libya - with its access to ports, large stores of weapons and established trans-Saharan smuggling routes - remains ISIL’s only other territorial holding.
Libya also serves as a major recruiting ground for foreign fighters from elsewhere in the region, particularly Tunisia, Algeria and Egypt, who continue to flock there to fight. Some Isil recruitment videos have even instructed aspiring foreign fighters in the region to travel to Libya instead of its besieged positions in Syria and Iraq.
Underscoring Libya’s strategic importance to Isil is the fact that Abu Nabil al-Anbari, a top Iraqi lieutenant and former Baathist official, was sent there in 2014 to oversee ISIL’s Libyan expansion. Although Anbari was killed near Derna during a US air strike in late 2015, ISIL’s overall presence in Libya has not been diminished.
Isil in Libya is now focusing its attacks on the country’s oil and gas industry in the west and along the coast east of Sirte, with an eye towards making a profit from the illicit sale of oil and gas, much as they do in Iraq and Syria.
Barring that, they will probably deny those resources to other rebel groups or either of the two competing governments by destroying the infrastructure.
For Al-Qaeda, Libya has been a hotbed of recruiting dating back to the 1990s, and one of its former leaders, Abu Yahya al-Libi, was a Libyan citizen. The eastern Libyan cities of Derna and Benghazi have historically served as solid bases of support for Al-Qaeda, and remain so today.
The Abu Salim Martyrs Brigade, which controls Derna, and Ansar al-Sharia in Libya (ASL), the group that carried out the 2012 attack against the US consulate in Benghazi, are both Al-Qaeda aligned. ASL is also a component of the Libya Dawn militia supporting the GNC government in Tripoli.
Since the fall of the Gaddafi regime in 2011, al-Qaeda’s North African branch, al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) has expanded its base of operations into Libya’s southwestern desert, establishing close alliances with the nomadic Tuareg tribes there.
The Tuaregs serve not only as AQIM fighters, but also as guides and protection for the AQIM-allied criminal smuggling networks that provide a substantial source of revenue used to fund AQIM operations in the region. Libya has collapsed, and without a general reconciliation between the rival governments, Isil and Al-Qaeda will only further strengthen their hold there.
This article has been excerpted from: ‘Libya, extremism and the consequences of collapse’.

We have moved!
On 21st November 2022 the ThomAndMary website moved to its new home https://www.thomandmary.org.uk/
The three church-specific websites:
will be retired in due course.
Welcome to St. Thomas of Canterbury Church, Goring
St Thomas' is a registered charity, number 1152514
St Thomas' Church is a friendly, community-facing congregation. The church members seek to encourage everyone in their faith and in their prayer life. There are opportunities for fun and friendship by getting involved in the many different aspects of church life. The congregation tries to live out God's Word by loving, listening and serving as active disciples of Jesus.
You are invited to come along to any of the services. When you come to this church for the first time, please make yourself known to one of the welcomers as you come in. Church members are ready to welcome you and for everyone to catch up with old and new friends.
Young members of the family are always welcome at services. Family services are held once a month. For the other main Sunday services there is a group called Tom-Toms for young children aged 0+. (The children stay with you for the beginning of the service before going through to the Canterbury Room next door for storytime, colouring, crafts and music.) For all other services, the creche area in The Canterbury Room is available with audio/visual links that enable parents to follow the service.
Check the normal schedule of services on the calendar.
The Church building has been lovingly repaired, extended and refurbished in 2009 by local architects and furniture makers.
Acanthus Clews Architects The Royal Institute of British Architects has awarded Acanthus Clews the Conservation Award for Architects 2010 for the South and South East Region of England for the whole building work project and the design of The Canterbury Room extension. For example, a breathable Ancaster limestone floor was laid throughout the church with underfloor heating, and sustainable materials have been used in The Canterbury Room, such as blown recycled glass, sheep's wool insulation, PEFC sourced European Oak and lime render for the facade.
Bates and Lambourne Furniture Makers have produced beautiful, quality seating made from sustainable English oak that is suitable, durable and flexible for the Church's wide range of events. See Bates and Lambourne's website for further information and photos of their work.
The Canterbury Room forms the extension to the church on the south side. It is light and airy, with underfloor central heating. It is used throughout the week by the church and local community. The Canterbury Room can be hired separately for external events.
Update: In 2017 further works were carried out to the Church, this time to the Tower. The roof was leaking and the hatch was old and insecure. There were also cracks in the high-level pointing allowing ingress of rainwater into the walls which had caused damp patches internally and softening of some of the chalk. Further detailed assessments by Acanthus Clews Architects revealed instability of the facings of some of the parapet stones which was a serious hazard to anyone below! Once the scaffolding was erected it was evident that a number of the quoins (cornerstones) were seriously weathered and mortar and flints were missing in some places. Therefore, in addition to the essential repairs to the roof and drainpipes to prevent the ingress of rainwater, restoration and repair work was undertaken to the middle and upper levels of the external tower walls.
This work was undertaken by a local firm Owlsworth IJP. Their team of craftsmen and apprentices paid great attention to detail in matching the existing stone and other materials right down to the colour of the mortar and the density of the broken shells within it. The works were funded in part by grants from:
- The National Heritage Memorial Fund: Listed Places of Worship Roof Repair Fund
- The Listed Places of Worship Grant Scheme
- Oxfordshire Historic Churches Trust
- Goring Gap News
Browse through this website for other United Benefice events. The congregation is involved in many activities that make up the heart of this lively church.

Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism reporter Nora Hertel and Wisconsin Public Radio reporter Gilman Halsted were the first journalists since 2007 to tour Sand Ridge Secure Treatment Center, the Mauston facility that houses sex offenders who have been committed to the state. Below is a photographic tour shot and compiled by Hertel.
The facility houses about 350 men under Chapter 980, the 1994 sexually violent persons law. Staff members evaluate and treat the patients in group therapy sessions -- unless they refuse treatment.
The state pays $404 a day -- that's $147,460 a year -- to house each offender. The fiscal 2012 budget for Sand Ridge was $50.9 million.
The facility was built in 2001 and expanded its capacity in 2009, adding a wing to the building. But the population has not grown as expected: The state has updated the assessment models that determine which offenders are at risk of reoffending, so patients are now leaving the facility at a faster rate than when the law first passed 20 years ago. For this reason, 100 of the 500 beds in the facility are not staffed or occupied by patients.
In the slideshow, you will see room after room eerily devoid of people. Off-camera, patients walked some of the halls freely, but reporters' access was limited. Officials granted access on the condition that the news organizations identify offenders to whom it facilitated access by first name only. Reporters could only photograph patients who were selected by Sand Ridge officials and who consented to photos. Patients they encountered along the way were not allowed to talk to them.

BECKY POOLE – The Ballad of Dena & Andrea (featuring Abby & the Myth)
November 3, 2017 @ 8:30 pm - 9:45 pm PDT$15.00 - $20.00
A murder ballad song cycle that tells the true life stories of Andrea Yates and Dena Schlosser, two women who murdered their own children and ended up as roommates in the same North Texas mental health facility.
Using original murder ballads in a traditional folk style, Becky Poole explores the worlds of postpartum psychosis, overzealous religion, toxic masculinity, childbearing, female rage, forgiveness, and the justice system. Expect banjo, musical saw, and sad stories – with a healthy balance of empathy and irreverence.
Becky Poole has written and performed murder ballads for solo projects as well as with her Chicago based duo Eileen. She has continued to be fascinated and frustrated by the lack of female-driven narratives around stories of violence and destruction in the American folk tradition. She found herself inundated with the same old trope of violence against women used as a plot device to drive the man’s journey. So she wrote a repertoire of female-driven murder ballads exploring women’s capacity for violence, and through that work discovered the contemporary tale of Dena and Andrea. She believes their story in particular carries a deep cultural resonance today with perceptions and expectations surrounding women, their choices, and their agency.
Over the centuries the murder ballad genre has worked to elevate true stories to myth and help our minds grapple with grotesque tragedy. While the subject is macabre, the story will focus on de-escalating the rush to demonize these women. Her piece hopes to refocus discussion of these types of crime onto the possibility of redemption and our capacity for forgiveness. What history did these women share with each other, with you? Do they have a future to speak of? What if you could turn to someone else who shared the burden of your worst evil – what would you say?
The evening opens with a performance by Abby & the Myth.
“Abby & the Myth are the kind of band that music fans always hope to stumble upon at a bar, but seldom ever do. With a presence big enough to fill an arena, it is hopefully just a matter of time before they get there”

So, about our budget fashion and style advice: We sometimes use affiliate links, so we might earn a buck or two if you click and buy :) !
The Lowdown: As the weather cools off, and after a summer of bathing suit trauma, we’re relieved that the closest we’re getting to nude is the color of our shoes — well, you know what we mean. Nude shoes are a hot trend once again and we’re thinking, shoes that go with everything? Um, we’re in.
While we might argue the semantics (beige is not exactly “nude” for everyone), there are enough variations of hue to suit us. Add a little patent, and we’re pretty much yours. Here are our top picks from Zappos.com; yes, they’re all closer to $100 than $10, but we’d argue that nude shoes are so versatile — both in terms of what they go with and how many season you can bridge in them — the cost per wear ratio will make it all worth your while.

Never one to shy away from the spotlight, Donald Trump might be a little less than enthused with his appearance in director Anthony Baxter’s environmental documentary, “You’ve Been Trumped.”
The film follows Trump’s efforts to build a hotel and golf course near Aberdeen, Scotland in the UK’s last natural sand dunes. Local residents put up a fight against Trump in this David vs. Goliath story.
The trailer has just been released, and it looks like the film will rile up both Trump’s detractors and environmentalists.
indieWIRE caught the film at Toronto’s Hot Docs in May and attended a Q&A with the filmmakers.
“A year ago when I pitched it, someone said to me, ‘I hope you got a good lawyer,’” said Baxter at TIFF. “I said ‘Oh no, I haven’t, but that shouldn’t stop me from making the film.’ These people have this sense of bullying us as filmmakers so that we can’t hold them accountable. You’ve got to make these films despite those fears.”

Think you’re still when you’re sitting down. Think again. You’re actually moving thousands of kilometres per minute.
Don’t worry, it’s not suppose to happen for another four billion years. Currently we’re 2.5 million light years apart explained McMaster astronomer Laura Parker, who recently gave a talk to the club about galaxy evolution.
When this clash happens, the hundreds of billions of stars making up each spiral galaxy will merge into one gigantic elliptical galaxy. Also, the night sky will not be the same. It will be brighter from all the light of nearby stars.
Here are February stargazer events. Most are listed in the Hamilton Amateur Astronomers calendar.
The best time of the year to see Mercury is the first three weeks of the month in the western evening sky near sunset. Venus is very low in the eastern morning sky as it drops towards the sun’s glare and vanishes completely by the end of the month.
Mars is low in the south western evening twilight sky and also vanishes into the glare of the sun by month’s end. It won’t reappear until June. Jupiter is a bright object high in the sky and sets after midnight.
Saturn rises near midnight and Uranus is low in the western evening sky.
Feb. 3 – The last quarter moon is close to Saturn in the dawn sky.
Feb. 8 – Hamilton Amateur Astronomers meeting 7:30-9:30 p.m., Spectator building, 44 Frid St., Hamilton.. Free admission with door prizes. An optional food bank donation of non-perishable goods will be collected.
Guest speaker: McMaster University astronomer Christine Wilson, who will talk about Beyond the Visible Universe: Dark Clouds, Galaxy Collisions, and the Origin of Stars. The club’s observing director John Gauvreau will also talk about The Sky This Month.
Also on the same night, Mercury and Mars are very close to each other low in the western evening sky at dusk.
Feb. 11 –The thin crescent moon joins Mars and Mercury in the evening sky.
Feb. 17 – The first quarter moon is close to Jupiter in the evening sky.
Feb. 18 – There is a grouping of the moon, Jupiter and Aldebaran in the evening sky.
Feb. 24 –The moon is just below Regulas in the evening sky.
Feb. 25 – The full moon this month is called the Snow Moon.
Feb. 28 – The moon is very close to Spica rising just before midnight.
For more information, please see the Hamilton Amateur Astronomers web site at http://www.amateurastronomy.org or call (905) 627-4323.
Mario Carr is the club’s director of public education and appears on CHCH-TV to talk about the night sky. He can be reached at email@example.com.

I'm a big puddle of tears.
Being a mother is a dream come true and has exceeded any expectation I ever had. It's the gift that keeps on giving because literally every day, when I look into London's big brown eyes or hear her sweet little giggle, I am reminded of God's grace. I'm reminded that God has entrusted her to me for this time on Earth...His precious jewel and treasure. What an overwhelmingly beautiful image that is. I say "overwhelmingly beautiful" because I often feel incapable and insufficient as a mom. How could I possibly be "enough" or have what it takes to be everything she deserves?
As I sit here with tears coming down my face, I think of my own mother and what she is to me. How she used to sit on the edge of my bed and sing to me in the dead of night because I was scared. Or when she would greet me after school with snacks and always with a smile. She would laugh with me, and she would cry with me too. She taught us about Jesus and that at the end of the day, when all is said and done, "God is bigger than all of it." Most importantly, she was PRESENT; for every event big or small...for every victory and every loss. When I think of her and how she epitomizes the word "mother," my heart can rest because I know that I have had the best teacher.
Almost two years ago, I became a mommy for the first time; I love London desperately. The wild part about it all is that somehow, the depth of my love for her grows more and more each day. I pray that she will always know and feel the love of her parents, and most importantly, the love of our Savior. Even on days when I feel like I don't have what it takes, I am reminded that LOVE is enough.
Mamas - We are all in this together! Tackling this whole "motherhood" thing is the hardest job in the world and we are doing the best we can. Our children will always remember the way we made them feel so love them, cherish them, and tell them how special they are.
I hope everyone has the most perfect Mother's Day...thank you for coming along on this journey with me!

This fall and winter ELAN will be shooting a number of group interviews with ten participants in 2-hour sessions. We are calling for a quote for a single group interview, with the understanding that the same procedure and cost structure will apply to the final number of group interviews to be filmed.
Ten participants will be seated in two semi-circles for each group discussion to create the ambience of a spontaneous, free-flowing conversation. The cameras will be placed in the centre of the two semi-circles shooting outward. The interviewer/group animator will not be on-camera.
One fixed camera will capture a wide shot of five participants, another camera will capture a wide shot of the other five participants. A third camera will film close-ups of the person speaking. Smooth transitions will be facilitated by using the mic as a ‘talking stick’. As it moves from speaker to speaker the principle camera will have time to refocus on the new speaker.
Group interviews will have a 2 hour duration max. A copy of the complete conversation will be made available to ELAN staff who will select excerpts for the final edit. The video producer will use the select excerpts to make a presentation video of approximately 15 minutes duration.
We are calling for a quote broken down into three components:
- Preproduction (consultation with ELAN staff, preparation for shoot, incidental costs such as making copy of complete shoot)
- Video Production – half day shoot
- Post production – editing 15 min video plus insertion of logo, text graphics etc.

BERLIN — The leader of a new anti-euro party called Sunday for Germany to leave the common currency, telling an inaugural convention that the euro forces German taxpayers to rescue bankrupt southern European countries whose people denounce them as Nazis for their efforts.
A crowd of about 1,500 mostly older men cheered as the leader of the Alternative for Germany party, economics professor Bernd Lucke, said the euro had done little to bring Europeans together, tapping into public anger at southern European protesters who have compared Chancellor Angela Merkel to Adolf Hitler over the demands for reforms and austerity in return for bailout funds.
"Because of the euro, people in southern Europe don't hesitate to express their disgust toward Germany, using old Nazi comparisons," Lucke said. "This is not what I imagine Europe to be like."
The convention adopted a platform calling for changes in the European treaty to allow each of the 17 European Union countries that use the euro to "decide democratically which currency it wants to use."
Such sentiments are still the exception in Germany, where a sense of obligation to help fellow Europeans in distress is rooted in shame for the crimes of the Third Reich. But the new political party hopes to capitalize on simmering fears that the euro crisis could deepen and drag down Europe's biggest economy. It aims to garner enough votes in the federal elections to reach the 5 percent minimum needed for seats in Parliament.
"The euro was a failure, and it would be bad if we continue to believe in this fairy tale," Lucke said. "If the euro fails, Europe doesn't fail."
The stance puts the party in sharp opposition to Merkel's position that there can be no Europe without the preservation of the single currency, with her repeated insistence that "if the euro fails, Europe will fail." While still a fledgling movement, the new party could hurt Merkel by sapping support from her main coalition partner — which she has relied on for a stable government.
Alternative for Germany wants to introduce Swiss-style national referendums so voters can have a say on important matters, including economic rescue packages. The party congress, at Berlin's upscale Intercontinental Hotel, plans to adopt a program and vote for a party board on Sunday.
Many of the attendees expressed anger about what they said have been unfair money transfers from German taxpayers to help bail out countries such as Cyprus and Greece.
"This party has good ideas," said Andreas Fluegge, 49, a software specialist from Limburgerhof in the country's southwest. "The euro is a big problem for us. Since we have had the euro I'm making less money and paying more taxes for things I don't understand. I hope these politicians will change this."
For all the talk about what it doesn't like, however, the party has been short on what it does like, and its leaders were slammed in an editorial this week in the top-selling Bild newspaper as "political amateurs."
The conservative tabloid has never shied away from accusing southern Europeans of being lazy, nor has it stopped deploring the cost Germany shoulders to bail out other nations, but turning against the euro itself remains unthinkable.
"They can craftily explain what is wrong with rescuing the euro, but they have no concept on how the future of Europe should look," Bild wrote.
Experts believe the party has little chance of garnering enough of the protest vote to reach the 5 percent threshold. But it could draw enough voters away from Merkel's center-right coalition to force her into an alliance with the opposition or give the opposition an outright majority.
"There is space for an anti-euro party in Germany," said Oskar Niedermayer, a political scientist at Berlin's Free University. "So far this position hasn't really been represented in the German party system."
Underlining the potential appeal, a recent poll showed that even though 69 percent of Germans now back the euro — up from about 50 percent last year — a significant minority of 27 percent said they'd like to see a return to the mark. The survey of 1,003 people was conducted April 2-3 for the business daily Handelsblatt. The poll had an estimated margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
Abandoning the euro currency would have significant costs, especially for Germany as a heavily export-oriented economy. According to analysts' estimates, it could easily knock down the country's annual output by a double digit percentage figure.
"I think the Germans know, and to some extent accept, that they have to pay the bill for saving the euro," said Ursula Weidenfeld, an economist and author. "They just want to make sure that they aren't paying more than necessary."
Other nations such as the Netherlands, Austria and Finland have also insisted on the same austerity measures that Germany has demanded in exchange for European bailouts, but as the bloc's largest economy and the largest single contributor to the funds, most of the anger has been directed at Germany and Merkel.
Some of Merkel's voters are now beginning to wonder whether their country — and their savings — should be tied to the struggling euro project, and Weidenfeld said support for the euro "could quickly change if a new rescue package has to be negotiated."
Should the eurozone's woes spread to fully engulf Italy or Spain — the bloc's third- and fourth-largest economies — and require them to ask for a bailout, German voters could panic, said Niedermayer.
In Germany's election in September, the issue poses the greatest threat to the Free Democratic Party, Merkel's junior coalition partner, which has a pro-business platform. Because the party has polled only slightly above five percent, even the loss of a few thousand voters could mean disaster.
"It's not impossible that this new party could sap half a percent from the FDP and thereby kick them out of parliament," said Niedermayer. That could create a huge headache for Merkel, who may find it hard to form a workable majority in parliament without the FDP.
Merkel's own party, too, could suffer if conservative voters see Alternative for Germany as a credible way to express their frustration about her leadership.
Economist Rudolf Hickel told Germany's Deutsche Welle, however, that even though there is anti-euro sentiment out there, Alternative for Germany doesn't have broad enough appeal to effectively tap it.
"They are professors and frustrated economists," he said. "If the party were headed by a populist, I'd consider them dangerous."
AP correspondents Kirsten Grieshaber and Kerstin Sopke contributed from Berlin.

Los Llanos Orientales are vast plains that stretch from Colombia into Venezuela. The mestizo people that inhabit these savannahs on the great Orinoco river are descendents of Spanish settlers, African slaves and Indigenous Indians. This is cattle rearing country, where music accompanies the daily working tasks such as milking and cattle drives. Most striking is the festive dance music called joropo, a fiercely virtuoso display of rippling melodies. The joropo's syncopated drive and top-of-the-lungs singing proclaim a cattle-herding mestizo people proud of their homeland. Percussive harp techniques and fast-picking bandola guitar rise upon a bedrock rhythm of cuatro guitar, bass, and maracas to produce the signature plains sound.
Cimarrón is the most accomplished llanera group in Colombia. A seven piece led by harpist and composer Carlos Rojas, they have been working for over twenty years and have performed the world over. These musicians are immersed in the sounds of "los llanos"; they seek to explore and experiment with their rich heritage while retaining the essence of the tradition.
"Incredible virtuosity on their harp, bandolas, and percussion backed heart-felt singing evoking the cattle ranches and vast landscapes of their homeland, and a memorable showcase that deservedly finished with a standing ovation, ended with an energetic display of traditional dancing." -Mondomix

There is a wide array of empirical work on the use of monetary and non-monetary measures to manage residential water consumption. However, there has been little focus on exploring the ability to change human attitudes and behavior through offering consumers sustainable resource management. This research helps bridge this gap, through an experimental trial in Brisbane, Australia. Choices of different monetary and non-monetary incentives for managing water demand are offered to survey participants. A structural behavioral model is then developed to identify direct and indirect impacts of attitudes and behavior and which can be compared between separate groups drawn from the survey's participants. Our results suggest that both monetary and non-monetary incentives offered to households significantly reduce water consumption, which is especially so for those holding pro-environmental attitudes/behavior. Importantly, the impact is higher for non-monetary incentives. The results therefore provide valuable insight for the development of long-term sustainable resource management policies.
