Buchner Funnel - Non Fritted Part – Western Tobacco Co.
Buchner funnels are a key pre-processing tool when winterizing material to run it for a short path distillation system. Buchner funnels work by pulling a vacuum on the hose barb connection and siphoning under vacuum the extracted material through the filtration media. These Buchner funnels differ from regular Buchner funnels because they come with small holes in the filter disc instead of being fritted allow the user to put their preferred size of filter paper on top of the disc. This type of Buchner funnel is much easier to clean then the fritted version which is a porous glass disc.

Your palms sweat. Your heart beats out of your chest making the hairs on the back of your neck stand at attention. You feel the blood rushing to your face and a pit of nausea forming in your stomach. The reaction is almost immediate. Fear.
Whether someone cuts you off in traffic, a jumpscare appears on your computer screen, or you mountain bike down a steep hill, humans are hardwired to initiate a fear response. Our reaction to something fearful is innate; in fact, this response keeps us alive.
Mills notes that all humans are wired differently. We all possess natural innate reactivity, but for some, there are overactive limbic systems which lead to anxiety and anxiety disorders. On the flip side, there are those that have lower baseline limbic systems which enables them to take risks more often.
Mills describes a complex process which takes place within the brain. Many biological changes occur, and the endocrine system as well as HPA circuits fire. These stress chemicals produce cortisol. Take Audrey Polack, age eleven; she is a champion rock climber. Placing in the top twenty in Atlanta and Utah in both sport climbing and bouldering last year, Polack is fearless. She can oftentimes be found pushing the limits in the gym and outdoors.
“These are the kinds of stress responses you want if you are climbing a tough route and you need pinpoint accuracy. Your pupils dilate, your breathing changes- you want that release of cortisol,” Mills highlights how this response is fine in the short term, but in the long term, there can be detrimental effects.
Some scientists argue this rush can be as addicting as drugs. “The reward system can be addictive like drugs and alcohol, but that is certainly not the case with everyone. People with more addiction potential could find themselves in this category,” Mills argues. Our fear response is what keeps the lines at Space Mountain long and horror movie fans hiding behind their hands as they watch The Conjuring.
“The amygdala is the gas and the frontal lobe is the brakes, (but) a teenage brain is all gas and no brakes,” Mills illustrates. With the frontal lobe not fully developing until our mid-twenties, the propensity to partake in risk-taking activities is more common amongst teens and early adults.
While many balk at the idea of openly subjecting themselves to something fearful, others crave the notion of being on the edge of their seats or pushing personal boundaries.
“There is absolutely a reward mechanism triggered in our brain- dopamine, epinephrine- they make us feel good,” Mills says. Risk taking can absolutely have positive outcomes. What would it take for you to live a life less inhibited by fear? What would it take to be fearless?
We found inspiration in fourteen-year-old Charlie Hunt who fought Leukemia head-on with the love and fearlessness of his community. We were inspired by retired, Spanish teacher, Wendy Wadsworth who trekked El Camino from Santiago de Compostela to Finisterre, Spain. Likewise, the experience of being stuck on Mt Rogers for three days in a blizzard gave us chills.
Fearlessness can be situational, but more often than not, it is a byproduct of struggle, an experience, a specific mindset, or simply a reminder that we are very much alive. And at Buddy, we are determined to help you get there.

There's something incredibly magical about a one-shot music video. No edits, no cuts, just one take. Destroy something (in this case, archaic technology) in the process and give it a blistering soundtrack. There's no better way to make a music video. (See "Bastards of Young") Head Wound City knows this, and made this because it's perfect. Buy their new record here.
Bon Iver shared a 22 second clip on YouTube today, entitled "22 Days". It's a beautiful ambient loop that cuts off right as Justin Vernon's vocals come in, and serves as what is believed to be a teaser for a set of all new music at the Eaux Claires music festival (curated by Vernon and The National's Aaron Dessner) on August 12-13 in Eaux Claire, Wisconsin.
In news that (unfortunately) shouldn't surprise anyone familiar with the tumultuous nature of recent All Tomorrow's Parties festivals, next weekend's Drive Like Jehu-curated ATP festival has been cancelled. Tickets (at press time) are hilariously still on sale here.
It’s a uniquely cruel hoax to appeal to Drive Like Jehu’s ego and ask us to create a program based on personally inviting the bands and musicians that have inspired us and changed the way we hear music and then subject them and their supporters to this. We really wanted this show to happen more than anything. It had all the makings of a legendary weekend. We were so committed to seeing this through that we remained hopeful (blind in retrospect) amongst the ritualistic turmoil and crisis and trusted their solutions that would ensure that the show would definitely go on and the attendees would be treated fairly and the bands would be respected and celebrated.
I realize people want answers. I have found out about most of the information involving the problems that plagued this from the start the same way as everyone else. And although the internet is hardly a reliable source for fact, this whole mess has the extra sting of this not being an isolated incident.
48 hours ago word started to trickle in that Barry hadn’t honored his agreement with many of the bands. These bands were not canceling, but rather did not have the promised means to attend. It was only then revealed that ATP was unable to honor the agreement with the ticket holders that purchased accommodation. ATP is out of funds. ATP offered to postpone the event until November as a solution. No thanks. We looked into trying to salvage the weekend by putting on our own free show in Manchester. But at this late date, no suitable venue is available.
This affects the Swami John Reis & The Blind Shake shows that were to follow ATP as well. We are unable to come over at this time.
To all the bands and ticket holders, i couldn’t feel more terrible that the fest isn’t happening. We were willing to come over under any circumstance even if it meant we would not get paid, just to see this show happen. I wish i could give you more answers at this point and advice what to do next.
It's a pretty massive bummer for any festival (minus maybe Coachella) to fall apart, but when Drive Like Jehu has pulled all of the talent together, it's a gigantic wasted opportunity.
Meanwhile, Swami John Reis and Metz just released a collaborative 7" for Record Store Day. The first sample of the madness that lies within is here, and will hopefully brighten your day just a touch.
I've been pretty het up about the White Denim/Sam Cohen package tour since it was announced months ago. As far as complimentary match-ups, getting these two together for a tour is a mind-bogglingly great pairing of chops and songwriting skills. Sam Cohen (formerly of Apollo Sunshine and Yellowbirds, and also a guest of TRB podcast) released one of my favorite records of 2015 (Cool It), and handles mellow psychedelia and explosive sunshine-y pop territory with equal aplomb, gracefully warming up the mellow Monday crowd into a raucous (for Seattle) throng by the end of his spacious set.
These two smiling men are responsible for a spike in Immodium sales in the late 1990's.
Ah, the silky mystique of "The Brown Note"; That earth-shattering, pants-splattering frequency zone where sounds manage to weave their way inside of you, stir up the most delicate parts of your inner-workings and rally the troops to abandon ship. While I never had a chance to see godheadSilo back in their heyday, I read enough zine articles and heard enough pre-internet folklore about the band to know that their live shows were widely regarded as a punishing display of sound and fury that left members of the audience walking away feeling nauseous. That two men could create a literal wall of sludge so physically affecting (minus the aid of computers/laptops, but merely aided by a wall of bass amps and a ridiculously large drum kit) was the stuff of legend. Their records required warning labels stating "we are not responsible for speaker damage", with more pre-internet rumblings of the band's records being engineered to essentially crack speakers in half. While the teens of the 70's had KISS to worship as a larger-than-life rock band shrouded in secrecy, godheadSilo had a lovely mystique of their own in the mid/late-90's.
2015 wasn't a bad year for The Royal Basement, by any means. I've had some inspiring chats with some incredible folks. I've taken a "news" hiatus over the last few months due to busy times with various holidays, other projects (working on an album, playing drums with Ghost Pains) and a pretty intense trip to Kansas City for most of the month of October to catch a Boys Life reunion and ending with a Kansas City Royals World Series victory. I was lucky enough to watch all of the ALCS and World Series back in my hometown of Kansas City, surrounded by the absolutely insane and exhausting energy of playoff baseball and mounds of fantastic Kansas City barbecue. (I was in KC for 18 days, and I believe I had various forms of BBQ for 15 meals over the course of those 18 days, cholesterol be damned.) Basically, normal life stopped for a good portion of the month of October, and baseball took over. Tears were shed, and my beloved Royals won the World Series. Writing that still doesn't even feel real.
2015 was a pretty grand year for musical output, as well. While I can't say that any records I've heard this year were life-defining records (those come fewer and farther between after your 20's), I'm thrilled with the wide range of things that fell into my ears this year. I found myself with a list of about 40 things that I had spent varying degrees of significant time with, trying to whittle them down to a nice round "top ten". Here's what I came up with.
It was a big weekend for the rocking and/or rolling in Seattle; Death Cab For Cutie played 3 days at the Paramount Theatre, My Morning Jacket did back to back nights at the Moore, and Stephen Malkmus came into town to play at the Experience Music Project's Sky Church. While Malkmus' generally disconnected demeanor didn't necessarily correspond with the immaculate polish of the EMP, it was a refreshing change to see a show in the Sky Church (a nice wide room with nary a bad sightline) and it was frankly great to see screensavers/stock photography loops blaring from the giant LED screen backdrop, glowering over the otherwise reserved Malkmus and Jicks. The last time I saw Malkmus/Jicks play, it was a TapeOp/Fort George beer release party down in Astoria, Oregon where the band played to 100 people and played a delightfully sloppy set, so seeing the Jicks on the big stage in a museum with all of the appropriate big-time-rock-n-roll trappings was the polar opposite experience of the Astoria show. I wormed my way to the front and caught "Freeze The Saints" on my phone, which is a beautiful song on its own but really sparkles in this live, stripped down setting (public school piano goof-ups and all). Hope you enjoy.
Just wrapped up the podcast that I did with UNLIKELY FRIENDS (members of BOAT and Math and Physics Club) a while back. They came by the ol' Basement and played some songs and chatted about baseball, bands, and just the love of the game (whatever the game may be). They open up for Death Cab for Cutie tonight at the Paramount here in Seattle (poster above by the fantastic Derek Erdman). Head over to the podcast page to give a listen; I recommend tailgating before the show and blasting this in the parking garage.
If there's a music documentary out there worth the film it's on, I've probably seen it. That said, I don't know that I've seen a series of live recordings that capture the atmosphere quite as well as the Live At Massey Hall series. Recorded at the 110-year-old venue in Toronto, Massey Hall is a gorgeous 2700 seat venue in the heart of downtown Toronto.
It seems like these videos are coming on a fairly regular basis, but yesterday's upload of a particularly well-polished but rough-hewn Constantines show had me feeling like it was Christmas morning. Bands at the Constantines level don't often have someone with the budget to document/edit a performance this beautifully, so I'm thrilled to see that time and energy go into a band so deserving of proper documentation (note: there's also a set from Cons frontman Bry Webb in the playlist). Do yourself a favor; plug whatever device into your TV/stereo and watch this Constantines episode on the big screen, fully amplified. You can thank me later (although I take no responsibility for damages caused by couch-bound circle pits).
Who knows what else to expect out of this series, but if the quality is anything like what's out there right now, it's going to be worth watching every single episode. Cheers to the makers of Live At Massey Hall.
The new Kurt Vile album (b'lieve i'm goin' down) is out today via Matador, and first spins showcase an album full of Vile's penchant for finger-picked crystalline lazy Sunday jams mixed with moments of spine-tingling anthemic bliss. He stopped by Conan O'Brien's show to play the first single ("Pretty Pimpin'") and do a stripped down version of "Wild Imagination". This iteration of Vile's band appears to be loaded for bear, featuring (amongst others) Farmer Dave Scher (Beachwood Sparks) on keys and backing vocals.
Kurt Vile plays the Showbox in Seattle with Cass McCombs on October 18, 2015.
Vile is hitting the road in October and November to support the album. Dates behind the jump.
WILCO SURPRISE WITH NEW FREE ALBUM "STAR WARS"
It's Christmas in July! (One of my favorite holidays, BTW.) Wilco just dropped a new 11 track album entitled Star Wars for the low price of FREE. For real!
"Why release an album this way and make it free? Well, the biggest reason, and I'm not sure we even need any others, is that it felt like it would be fun. What's more fun than a surprise?" said singer Jeff Tweedy via Instagram.
Star Wars is available for free here, provided you want to give Wilco your email address. They've had mine for years and I've never gotten so much as a late night drunk email from them. Legitimate.
Wilco is on tour now, probably coming to a city near you. Go see them and bring your favorite Jar Jar Binks joke.
There are those band break-ups that you can spot coming from a mile away, and those that blindside you. Somewhere in between lies the news of the disbanding of Canadian folk/punk mainstays The Weakerthans. The band hasn't been the most active in the past 8 years or so, but have still done some festival circuit touring (as well as singer John K. Samson's excellent 2012 solo record Provincial) and never really hinted at any sort of band conflict.
Dan Ozzi at Vice did an excellent job eulogizing the band, but I still feel the need to put my two cents in about the band. When explained on paper, The Weakerthans seem as if they're directed right into that sappy, primordial sludge that is the world of 2000's emo punk. Melodic pop-leaning songs sung by humble guys who buy their sweaters a couple sizes too big so they can wear their heart on their sleeves just a little bit more prominently. (Even writing that grosses me out.) Something about The Weakerthans was different, though. While the music may not have thrown a ton of challenges into the fray, John Samson's lyrics are flat out masterpieces. Maybe it was the phase of my life I was in (leaving college, joining the work force, finally becoming a grown adult and dealing with the gravity of family getting older, growing away from friends, the blessing/curse of unaccounted-for time, and that pining for home that we all fight for the rest of our lives after leaving the nest), but Samson's lyrics summarized so much of what I was feeling at that moment in so much more beautiful and poetic ways than I was ever capable of. He never wrote songs from some overly dramatic, damaged place like so many bands did. He never sounded desperate. He always sounded dignified.
Australia's Tame Impala have a new album due out July 17th (Friday release dates, y'all!), and have released a smattering of singles (literally, half the album is already out) to tease the highly-anticipated 'Currents'.
Tame Impala has been playing the festival circuit all summer, and put on an incredible show at Sasquatch in June that felt absolutely massive and perfect; the sun was setting behind the band, cascading through the breathtaking surroundings of The Gorge, and the combination of the band's light show, the gauzy haze of smoke coming from both the stage and the crowd, and the wall of sound coming from the giant PA made for an event that I'll personally never forget. That said, the band didn't play too much off the new album, which shows them either keeping Currents pretty close to their vest or being a little apprehensive about unveiling it to a festival crowd. It's a divisive album for fans of the band's early days of heady psych.
While some of the bass tones (and that bass playing, holy cow) on Currents harken back to the fuzzed out bliss of Innerspeaker, the rest of the band's compositions rely less than ever on typical rock guitar/bass/drums arrangements and now hinge on massive layers of plinky keyboards and compressed, mechanical sounding drums (as well as Kevin Parker's soft falsetto). Tame Impala has always been pretty much a one-man show (mastermind Kevin Parker recorded/mixed the record by himself), but Currents is his most visible artistic/personal struggle. The great deal of Currents is about conflict; conflict with a former lover, conflict with himself, and the knowledge that this record will create conflict within his own fanbase. Parker spends the entirety of Currents wrestling with his confidence to pursue this new direction in sound ("Let It Happen" is essentially a mantra of chasing the muse into uncharted/uncomfortable territory, knowing full well that he could be failing those whose support has given him a career), while other songs hang on the notion of coming to terms with a failed relationship ("Yes I'm Changing", "Eventually"), falling into an almost frustrating loop of daily-affirmations that spend an inordinate amount of time justifying a breakup with storybook endings.
Parker has been quoted talking about an experience driving around Los Angeles, listening to the Bee Gees under the affect of mushrooms. That experience seems to be a giant resonating factor within Currents; disco beats with swirling layers of psychedelic elements interwoven in the songs, dance music with an emotional edge. Structurally, it's a gorgeous album full of texture that obviously took a lot of time to build and craft. It's also a fun listen; each spin reveals new details that weren't previously noticeable. Parker has a gift for making everything sound so effortless, both compositionally and performance-wise, and coats everything in such a branded Tame Impala production style (Parker mixed Currents by himself, marking the first time Tame Impala has made a record without Dave Fridmann) that the album flows along breezily without ever feeling like a chore. In that, though, fans of Parker's earlier work (myself included) will find themselves fighting the feeling of this incredibly concicse pop soundscape, frustratedly longing for some of the speaker-ripping sonic bombast of Innerspeaker. For the moment, that's not where Kevin Parker is. At best, Parker is aiming high and trying to bridge the gap between 60's psych, 70's disco, and a healthy dose of 80's pop (with maybe a tiny sprinkle of contemporary dance/EDM thrown in). At worst, he's writing glossy anthems whose production makes them sound a lot better than the sum of their parts. Album closer "New Person, Same Old Mistakes" heads the "sell out" argument off right at the pass, with Parker singing "I know that you think it's fake/maybe fake's what I like", and Parker leaves himself an open door to do anything he wants in the name of creative freedom. If nothing else, Parker just blipped pretty significantly on the radar of a lot of important folks to produce their next album; if this ends up creating some giant psych rock renaissance in pop music, is that such a bad thing?
One thing is certain, though; Currents will be an inescapable record for the remainder of 2015.
Thoughts? Leave your comments below.
I'll fully admit to taking The Helio Sequence's presence as a Pacific NW regional band for granted. They play Seattle pretty frequently, and I never go see them. Their consistency as a band is incredible, but somehow, their newest album (self-titled, on Sub Pop) pushes at their atmospheric edges, experimenting with electronic elements but still retaining an organic/human foundation. At times, the record finds The Helio Sequence sounding more relaxed yet more confident than ever. "Battle Lines" marches along stridently while still retaining a breezy, shimmery atmosphere, pining for the promise of a better day (and remaining optimistically hopeful in the process). The entire record is a great summer soundtrack, urgent in all the right places but still wistfully relaxed.
The Helio Sequence play The Neptune Theatre in Seattle on Saturday, July 11th, 2015. Tickets are available here.

Ever wondered how much money you spend to look pretty?
Well, new research by dental aesthetics company Invisalign has shown Australian women spend over $3,600 per year on beauty and grooming. That’s a whopping five per cent of their average household income.
Sydney ladies came up the worst, spending more than women in any other state. And the most shocking part? Four out of five of those surveyed don’t tell their partner or families how much!
Want to find out how much you’re spending on beauty? Take the Invisalign My Spend test – you’ll be amazed.
What beauty products can you justify spending more money on? What are your best budget beauty tips?
No idea how much goes out of my pockets for beauty items. Perhaps that's for the better. My weakness is hair products - oh my I have so many and still I buy more!
Each new financial year I say I'm going to track my spend, because I know too much is going out on it. But I never do. Sometimes I guiltily throw the receipts away....Ignorance is bliss!
Some figures that might startle some, but a lot of beauty products are an investment in your own health as well, so perhaps a justified spend!
Now, I know I spend a lot of money on health and beauty. However, a large portion of that is on private medical insurance, glasses and preventative care, which is more than on beauty products. Considering my collection of makeup and skincare, that is scary. So think on that one, Australian government!
Skincare! Seeing a positive change in my skin is worth every penny!
Actually I'm not too surprised! I'm more surprised with Perth being no 1! I do agree on the last part, teeth and skin are my concern and don't let me get started on them!
I spend a fair amount on products but I don't spend much on beauty services - I have a monthly haircut and that's it - I can imagine things like tanning/waxing services would bump up the spending.
I probably spend $700-800 annually.
I just did the survey and my annual spend is just a bit more than the average - I'm lucky that I win quite a bit and get to trial items from beautyheaven ♥ If I didn't, I'm sure the mount would be double!
I thought I was one of the only ones splurging on make up and beauty items. It is good to know that I am not alone!
I don't think I spend that much on beauty. I think I spend more on facial skincare and foundations rather than makeup.
I don't think I spend anywhere near that amount! I guess if you had a facial a month that would add up as well as wearing a full face of makeup everyday. I don't do either so I save a lot of money!
When I was single and earning good money I spent thousands. I had a highly visible management position at a young age and presentation counted. Psychologically it felt like I was proritising and valuing myself. I always knew exactly how much I spent, was in control and comfortable with my behaviour. Now I am on a budget and I do a lot more myself. I still value myself and buy the best I can afford. I budget for grooming. I still use prestige brands, just buy new things less. I have natural hair rather than a high maitenence blonde. I still know exactly how much I spend, prioritise and am comfortable with it.

Do we want more ‘world class’ care?
Civil Servants stomping around the Dept. Bad Health have announced that Prof. Sir Mike Richards is setting up yet another new initiative to provide Britain with ‘world class’ cancer care. Boring! Boring!
Spin Doctors,who massage statistics to suit themselves, call this ‘world class service’ (Titanic springs to mind). It will be interesting (if it wasn’t sickening) to hear the way this will be explained away to next week’s talking heads conference; Britain Against Cancer, I see he is no longer down to speak – but then he apparently is also retiring! Does anyone know what is happening?
Simples – as the Meerkats would say. BLOW YOUR TOP! I’ve just done that, and it’s worked a treat.
Yesterday I collar my GP to ask what has happened to my referral ? He excuses the lack of appointment by implying it is my fault for demanding too many, saying “you are under a lot of different consultants”.
This sends me ballistic: “the reason I am under so many consultants is because massive mistakes were made during my treatmen; doctors prescribed me the wrong drugs – hence why I have so many side effects from major heart problems, osteoporosis, neuropathy, long-lasting skin conditions, nausea, etc. It was the fault of those treating me, who should have checked the drugs I was given to see what side effects I might end up with”.
Boy – did I enjoy letting off like that!
A very shaken and much more helpful GP immediately changed his defensive attitude. Tapping away on his computer, he comes back saying “appointment in 2 weeks time”. That’s more like it! Pity he didn’t do that when I first asked – but us patients constantly face delays in this ‘world class’ NHS.
When I Google the name of the consultant I am due to see, I find he is head of the dept., and it is within his power to order the type of tests I should be getting. And the hospital dept. boasts that it can do these tests in-house. At last! Result! We’re getting somewhere! I know I will have to check that this consultant is actually on duty that day; when the day arrives, I am resigned to the fact I am going to have a fight to actually see this person. But I’ve done this before. Threatened I had all afternoon to wait – and sat there for three hours. They gave up first!
I’ve never had such a quick response – it really works! So YOU go for this approach too! What have you got to lose!!

Special effects technician Nick Finlayson passed away this month in his home in England. Often called the real-life Q, Finlayson had credits on more than 40 film and television productions from 1980 to the present. Finlayson worked closely with Chris Corbould on Q's real life gadgets from 'A View To A Kill' to 'Skyfall'.
The technician was respected and loved by his fellow Bond alumni, with special effects supervisor John Richardson describing him as a "true Gentleman, he was extremely hard working, very clever with a wide range of skills". Also speaking to From Sweden With Love, Corbould commented, "He was intelligent, funny and inspirational to everyone he worked with".
In his non-Bond filmography – which includes 'Aliens', 'Tomb Raider', and 'Batman Begins' – Finlayson also worked closely with upcoming VFX supervisor Steve Begg. The pair contributed to the massive modelmaking requirements of the Gerry Anderson co-created series 'Terrahawks'. Begg remembered that Finlayson departed for Bond, of which his wife was proud.
Most recently Finlayson was at work on 'Spider-Man: Far From Home' (2019).

still being formed by water, ice, and fire that is only a five- hour flight away.
Transfer to the airport and check-in for your overnight flight to Reykjavik.
Arrive in Reyjakvik and head toward the famous Blue Lagoon. The lagoon is a geothermal wonder of nature, with pleasantly warm mineral rich geothermal seawater in the middle of a lava field. The high natural levels of silica, minerals and algae give the Lagoon its rich blue colour – hence the name Blue Lagoon. Later, a city tour will show us the highlights of the capital.
Welcome dinner and overnight at your Reykjavík hotel.
After breakfast, we drive north out of Reykjavik and through the tunnel under Hvalfjordur, one of the country’s longest fjords. We make a visit at the Settlement Center museum in Borgarnes. We continue through the pretty lake-dotted valleys of the Borgarfjördur district where the ice-age glacier covered the area about 10,000 years ago. We will then make a brief stop at Deidartunguhver, Europe’s largest hot spring, where around 200 liters of 97C hot water flows from the earth every second. Enjoy our short stop at the beautiful waterfalls of Hraunfossar and Barnafossar in the river Hvítá before returning to Borgarnes.
Lunch and dinner and overnight in Borgarnes.
The first highlight of the day is Thingvellir, the great lava arena in a rift valley, where the divide between the Eurasian and the North American tectonic plates is clearly visible. Founded by the Norse settlers in 930 AD in Thingvellir, you will see the world’s oldest still-existing national parliament. Get ready to visit Gullfoss, which is often described as Iceland´s most beautiful waterfall, and the famous Geysir area. Strokkur, the world´s most active, is likely to spout several times. We make our final stop at Friðheimar, known for using geothermal heating for cultivation of tomatoes and cucumbers – come and enjoy their famous tomato soup.
Light lunch in Frioheimar. Dinner and overnight in Selfoss.
Today we will drive along the south coast and visit the magnificent waterfall of Seljalandsfoss. It is a narrow and high waterfall which plunges over the mountains of West Eyjafjöll. From there we head to Vík, a village east of Mt. Reynisfjall in Myrdal. In Vík and the neighboring coastline, there is a wealth of contrasts and landscapes renowned for their natural beauty. Mt. Reynisfjall and its cliffs have few rivals in Iceland for richness of vegetation and bird life and the black sand beach Reynisfjara is a large breeding colony for the Arctic tern. According to local folklore, three rockstacks rise up to 66m from the sea: Skessudrangar, Landdrangar and Langhamrar and are said to be trolls turned to stone at sunrise. Then we continue towards Kirkjubæjarklaustur, which in the old days was known as „Kirkjubær“ (Church Farm) and was an important farming village.
From Klaustur, we travel along the south coast to Skaftafell. Skaftafell National Park was designated as one of Iceland´s three National Parks in 1967. Towering mountains, imposing glaciers, gulches with clear brooks and beautiful waterfalls, birch woods, a wealth of wild flowers and lush vegetation give credence to its status. The most majestic of its several waterfalls is Svartifoss (“Black Falls”) that cascadr over a wall of symmetrical columnar basalt that resembles an organ. En-route to our stop for the evening, we visit glacier lagoon Jökulsárlón and the museum Þórbergssetur in Höfn. The museum is dedicated to one of Iceland‘s most significant twentieth century author, Þórbergur Þórðarson.
Today, we start by making a stop at the breathtaking waterfall Skógarfoss, which is 60m high and one of the most impressive waterfalls in the country. After, we experience the Folk Museum at Skógar before continuing to the power plant Hellisheiðarvirkjun for a Geothermal Exhibition about geothermal energy in Iceland.
Overnight at your Reykjavik hotel.
Say goodbye to Iceland this morning as we head to the airport for our flight. Upon arrival in the USA, transfer home.

It will take a lot of my time to do my work for Klondike Silver Corp (TSXV: KS) to assist the Company with its Name Branding and spread the word that it is a great Silver/Lead/Zinc investment opportunity. Consequently I have to change my Modus Operandi (MO) somewhat.
For the past few weeks I have given you some samples of Martin Armstrong’s Socrates Trader Level Preview. Marty and Princeton Economics who have spent millions of dollars perfecting the Socrates artificial intelligent computer with its accurate market forecasts and in all fairness to Marty, I will now stop copying these fantabulous signals and forecasts and stop distributing those details to our readers. I will continue to let you know what I have learned from the Socrates Trader Level Preview and for your benefit paraphrase some of it.
Whereas, I have been in Mining Industry marketing since 1980 and thus, have gained a lot of experience, we will now focus and pay more attention on that industry such as Klondike Silver TSXV: KS), Ashanti Gold (TSXV: AGZ), Northern Dynasty (TSX: NDM) and Scandium Mining (TSXV: SCY) and other companies I have made you aware of form time to time. I will continue to make you aware of future mining company opportunities with trustworthy hard-nosed and hands-on Management and Projects. i.e. companies with Management, who understand that Name Branding is essential and are committed to promote their companies to investors worldwide. In other words Companies that that, we feel, have great upside and good Return on Investment (ROI).
As predicted by Martin Armstrong, the last euphoric Mining CYCLE ended in July of 2011. Marty also predicted well in advance of September 2015 that we would move into the next Mining CYCLE led by Gold and Silver.
I expect that the euphoric part of the CYCLE will be in 2019/2020 when everyone and his dog will be buying mining shares.
I will continue to interpret the MA Socrates Trader Level Preview analysis but, I will no longer give you the detail analysis by Socrates on Gold and the Dow but, only my interpretation thereof so that I will, as mentioned above, have more time to spend on the Mining Industry which I know very well and where I believe I will make substantial ROI.
I will continue my writing about Martin Armstrong, Socrates in general as well as Points to Ponder and give you heads up on certain mining explorers and developers that I am invested in and that I believe will bring me great ROI moving forward.
I spent this past week in Toronto at the PDAC (Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada) on behalf of Klondike Silver Corp. (TSXV – KS) it was a great show. We were very pleased with the results.
Klondike with its 100% owned Silver/Lead/Zinc land package which includes 58 past producing Silver Mines including the high-grade Silver/Lead/Zinc Silvana Mine has a great future and I as a Corporate Communications consultant I want to focus on the Company moving forward.
The PDAC was a four day event from Sunday through Wednesday and we did well. We were very busy throughout the Conference and we attracted a lot of potential investors for the Company who indicated their interest in taking a share position.
However, we noticed that there were still very few new investors and missing were the 25 to 35 years of age investors. We believe that that will change by next year.
I manned the booth together with Tom Kennedy Klondike CEO and Dave Makepeace from Micon International, a mineral industry consultant, who is on the Klondike Technical Advisory Board. Dave is a senior geologist and environmental engineer. He worked at the Silvana mine (Dickenson Mines Ltd.) from 1982-1989 ending as chief geologist-engineer and is fully familiar with the past-producing mines and the Main Lode within the Slocan Silver Camp. Dave was a tremendous asset in our booth with his 3-D Silvana Mine computer imaginary showing the great potential of the Silvana Mine and the unexplored Silver Mile adjacent to the Silvana.
Many of my readers have asked me why is Ashanti Gold not moving and I made it a point to meet with the Company CEO Tim McCutcheon at the PDAC on March 7, 2017. I asked why his stock was still in the doldrums. He said a lot of progress was being made to unlock the value of its developing deposits in Africa. He referred me to his News Release that he was disseminating that day. To keep updated please follow the Ashanti Gold News Released they have disseminated.
I remain committed to Ashanti Gold.
I also met with Doug Allen, Vice President Corporate Communications for Northern Dynasty at the PDAC and discussed the100% owned southwest Alaska Pebble Creek Deposit.
NDM and its Management have in-house expertise and a great track record and I believe that they have disclosed everything fairly to the public.
Pebble Creek Partnership has hired a respected Alaskan lead regulatory consultant to initiate project permitting.
Doug Allen said: “Investors may have to sit on their shares for a little while but, I believeit this certainly will be worthwhile”.
Northern Dynasty continues to be one of my favorite recommendations.
George Putnam, CEO Scandium Mining (TSX: SCY) manned a booth at the PDAC and spoke to an audience of about 60 of interested investors with the result that on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday the SCY shares traded more than10 million shares and at prices as high as $0.465.
Scandium Mining is a must have in your Portfolio.
Socrates warned us on Tuesday that a collapse in Gold was likely and it did collapse and on Wednesday.
Daily: Possible Temp Low; Weekly: Turning Back Down; Monthly: Possible Temp Low; Quarterly: BRIEF PAUSE; Yearly: About to Collapse.
Indicators show Energy: Bullish and the Momentum and Trend are Bearish.
Daily: Bullish; Weekly: WARNING Caution; Monthly: Still Strong; Quarterly: In Breakout Mode; Yearly: Temporary High.
Do yourself a favour dear reader and start subscribing to Martin Armstrong’s Investor Level service generated by Socrates.
“Stay Tuned” my friends “Stay Tuned”.
Because of the PDAC and travelling to Europe to assist with the promotion and Name Branding of Klondike Silver I do not have time for Points to Ponder today.

A cooking challenge organized by Meg of Grow and Resist and Briggs of Oh Briggsy in which we explore a featured cookbook each month. The selection for October is Marcella Hazan’s Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking.
I did not learn to cook in my mother’s kitchen. I learned in her library. In addition to being an avid reader of fiction, my mom collected cookbooks and may even have belonged to a cookbook-of-the-month club. She subscribed to a bunch of shelter magazines and regularly bought pamphlets at the grocery store, all of which I eagerly awaited as a kid. From an early age, I got the run of a pretty well stocked assortment of topics and recipes and food lore. Instead of confiscating books when I moved away, I spent time carefully duplicating the best parts of my mother’s collection, sometimes buying them new and sometimes combing flea markets and book sales for out-of-print volumes. Of course, Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking was right at the top of the list, and I found myself systematically cooking my way through it. The same was true of Marcella Hazan’s The Classic Italian Cookbook (1973) and More Classic Italian Cooking (1978).
I did not bother to acquire Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking since I thought it is basically a rewrite of the first two volumes (more on that in a minute). However, my husband decided to buy it for my iPad, which was great since I spent a lot of time traveling this month. I read the iPad on the plane and the books in the kitchen. It was like becoming re-acquainted with a friend I hadn’t seen since college, which was especially poignant since she passed away just as we started cooking her books again. I knew that Marcella’s books underpinned the way I cook now, but I had no idea how much. Some of my most successful techniques come from Marcella: roast chicken with two lemons, pork braised in milk, veal stew, bagna cauda, frittata, homemade pasta and extraordinary sauces to accompany them, smothered cabbage…. Among the salads and vegetables and soups in the book, there are many that I make all the time without realizing that they were possibly inspired by my early immersive and exhaustive experience cooking these books.
I love the simplicity of techniques and ingredients of Marcella’s cuisine. Chicken roasted with two lemons is a classic. This month, we particularly enjoyed the similarly simple Pan-roasted Chicken with Rosemary, Garlic and White Wine (Page 304 in Classic), which is repeated in Essentials minus a tablespoon of butter.
I was a little puzzled by the bluefish baked on top of crispy potatoes since that’s something we make frequently at our house (sometimes topped with tomatoes). However, Marcella’s recipe was not annotated with dates and comments so I may have gotten the idea elsewhere. Baked Bluefish with Potatoes, Genoese Style (Pages 208-210 in More Classic), which became Baked Bluefish Fillets with Potatoes, Garlic, and Olive Oil in Essentials, minus a few tablespoons of olive oil, was baked at 450 degrees, a higher temperature than I usually use. The potatoes crisped beautifully and contrasted perfectly with the slightly strong, juicy fish. Leave it to Marcella to get this just right. Reducing the oil was the right idea.
On the fish topic, Sweet and Sour Tuna Steaks, Trapani Style (pages 221-222 in More Classic) kept its original name in Essentials but lost some olive oil (this is starting to be a theme). I am a big fan of Italian agrodolce, and this did not disappoint, taking a rich fish and sparking it with sugar and vinegar.
I could not locate Steamed Fish between Two Plates (Pages 218-219 in More Classic) in Essentials so it must have been dropped. Too bad, since it’s something I might not have attempted if I weren’t so fixated on the simplicity of Marcella’s techniques. You place thinly sliced swordfish on a dinner plate over a saucepan, cover it with a pot lid and let it steam in its own juices. Wow. Marcella recommends that the fish be accompanied by chopped parley and cornichons, which I do recommend, but I was serving it with Penne with Ricotta and Spinach Sauce (Pages 147-148 in More Classic, where in Essentials??), so I omitted the pickles.
Other than the bluefish, which was an all-around favorite with the whole family, Pasta and Pesto with Potatoes and Green Beans (Essentials) was the biggest hit. With frost approaching, I was using up the maximum amount of Genovese basil in our garden as quickly as possible. We had wonderful twisted fettuccini-wide noodles, hand-carried from Italy, which were a terrific textural foil to the unctuous pesto, crispy beans and soft potatoes. This one was memorable.
Of course, I had to make Bolognese Sauce (Page 127-128 in Classic), the recipe that I make once a year at least. We served it simply with spaghetti. Not to mention Braised Pork Chops with Sage and Tomatoes, Modena Style (Pages 293-4 in More Classic).
One of my all-time favorite soups from Marcella Hazan is Red Cabbage Soup, from Classic, made with sausage and white beans. (I think I’ve blogged about this before). This time, I made a whole-meal version, Sausages with Red Cabbage (Pages 302-303 in More Classic) but didn’t find it in Essentials either.
We ended our meals with Marcella’s simple and elegant salads and desserts. We enjoyed Orange and Cucumber Salad (Pages 414-415 in More Classic) and Radicchio and Warm Bean Salad (so-named in Essentials, formerly called Endive and Cranberry Bean Salad, Pages 415-416 in More Classic). The latter has an interesting story that tells us something about cooking over the past 40 years. Marcella’s original recipe called for fresh cranberry beans, which she assumed were available, but substituted Belgian endive for long Treviso radicchio, which she assumed was not. In Essentials, she switched them, allowing dried beans for fresh and taking radicchio as a given. With a head of radicchio (not the long Treviso) from our CSA this week, and fresh cranberry beans from the farmers market, I was in heaven. This could be one of our new favorite salads.
Finally, we made Apples baked with Macaroons (Pages 441-442 in More Classic), a simple hollowing out of apples stuffed with crushed cookies and butter and baked in white wine. Delectable and a perfect finish to a great cooking adventure.
In her earlier books, Marcella gives the Italian name of the recipe first and then the translation, along with menu suggestions. Of course, we knew that she wrote in Italian and her husband Victor translated. The writing in Essentials – very well edited by Judith Jones — transforms the original books from lessons on how the Italians cook and eat to a more polished cookbook attuned to more modern sensibilities (even though it’s now a classic in its own right). The order of the first book corresponds to the menu suggestions: antipasti, first courses, second courses, vegetables and salad, cheese and dessert, and the food would have been more varied and greater than our way of eating today. (Although, when I’ve been in Italy, some of those early courses are more like tapas in volume, and meals can take hours to eat.) The second book adds dishes for single-course meals and buffets, along with pizza. By the time we get to Essentials, the Italian language and menu suggestions are all gone. I miss the rough charm of the originals but I have to commend the very professional effort to brush off an old classic and make a new one.
I too obtained my own copy of Mastering the Art of French Cooking when I left home. Lovely post.

This is being paid to people who reach State Pension Age on or after 6 April 2016 and replaced the previous State Pension scheme for them. Anyone who reached State Pension Age prior to 6 April 2016 will continue to receive their state pension based on the previous system.
The full new State Pension (sometimes known as the “Single Tier pension”) is £168.60 per week for 2019/20 for anyone who has paid or been credited with National Insurance Contributions for at least 35 years of their working life. To put this into perspective, if you currently earn £20,000 a year your weekly income is £384.60 so the Single Tier pension would make up around 45% of your current income.
For anyone who paid National Insurance Contributions prior to April 2016 transitional arrangements may result in an adjustment being made to this amount to reflect state pension built up under the old system.
If you have questions relating to State pensions, wish to find out your State Pension age or obtain a State Pension forecast visit the GOV.UK website.

After the years of rumors and waiting game, the mid-size Ranger finally returns stateside. However, in the first model year, the Ranger will come in the limited number of configurations at least compared with other truck options in the country. The new Ranger debuts with the single turbo-4 engine and Ford also limited the number of trims to three. The XL, XLT and Lariat will be in the offer while more we should expect for the 2020 model year including also the new engine option possibly the diesel one.
However, what also makes the buyers impatient is the decision about the Raptor version for the US market. For the off-road-focused buyers stateside, Ford will offer just the FX4 package while already debuted the Raptor version for the global market. But everybody believes that the US Raptor version is just the matter of time and recently the left-hand-drive version was spotted while testing in the US. The model seems to have the diesel engine under the hood judging by the diesel’s specific clutter. The US Raptor should, however, get the turbocharged petrol power per expectations but the diesel would also be great as the rival for the 2.8-liter turbodiesel in the GM’s mid-size trucks.
What is expected about the US-spec version, the model could debut as the 2020 Ford Ranger Raptor. It will share heavily with the global version in terms of the design and underpinning as it is the case with the conventional versions.
While we don’t have doubt that 2020 Ford Ranger Raptor for the US market will be almost identical to the global version in terms of the style and structurally, the engine version Ford would pick is the million-dollar question. The prevailing opinion is that Ford will go with the EcoBoost four- or six-cylinder petrol unit. The solution could be a 2.3-liter turbo-4 EcoBoost with the power around 310 hp and torque 350 lb-ft. This unit produces these numbers in the Mustang.
Ford might also pick a 2.7-liter EcoBoost V-6 from the Ford Edge and fit it for the Raptor. In the current form, this engine makes 335 hp and torque of 380 lb-ft.
For the global market, Ford introduced, however, a unique 2.0-liter twin-turbo four-cylinder turbodiesel engine. This oil burner pumps 210 hp and torque of 369 lb-ft. It would nice Ford to fit this engine for US standards and offer the alternative for the 2.8-liter turbodiesel I-4 form the Chevy Colorado.
On the other hand, the Raptor will come with the wider track and long-travel suspension. The suspension setup will be similar to the setup of the successful F-150 Raptor. The model will also get the underbody protection and all-terrain tires. The capable all-wheel-drive system and special Terrain management System will also boost the off-road performance of the mid-size Raptor.
In terms of the styling, there won’t be notable differences between the global version and the 2020 Ford Ranger Raptor for US market.
The truck will arrive with the Raptor-specific, dark grille and more muscular bumpers. The higher ground clearance and suspension travel will also provide a safe approach and departure angles on the rugged terrains and have the visual impact on the model as well. The wider and protected fender flares and large, all-terrain tires will also form more muscular look.
Inside the cabin, the Ford Raptor will arrive with the unique upholstery and logos. The sports steering wheel with the shift paddles will also make the difference. The buyers will also get Ford performance seats.
On the tech side, the Raptor won’t lack the modern equipment. The truck will come equipped with the new Sync 3 infotainment system, probably with 8-inch touchscreen. There will also be the navigation, strong sound system, voice activation and more.
The safety of the passengers will also be in the focus. The model will integrate systems like the Descant Control and Hill Start Assist, rearview camera, etc. There will also be some advanced systems including Lane Departure warning, Rollover Mitigation, etc.
The 2020 Ford Ranger Raptor is expected sometime in 2019 although some sources claim the arrival for the 2021 model year. The model could also debut in early 2019.
As for the price, the first estimation is that model would cost in high-30, 000 American dollars. For example, in Australia, the model has a high price tag of 74, 990 Australian dollars.
2018 Ford F-450 still keeps its dominance!

People could possibly talk so many issues about when it comes to bamboo flooring pros and cons. It is amazing knowing that bamboo becomes more and more popular lately since a lot of people are using it as the substitution for the hardwood floor. Indeed, every single problem on the entire world will always have two sides of coin, like the bamboo flooring pros and cons. For those who never heard what good and bad things about the bamboo flooring, spending a lot of times with me here is a good thing for most of you to do on this kind of time around. So, when do we start anyway my dear friends? Are you ready?
Let’s start with the pros first before we undergo the cons. Saving the environment is the main reason why more and more people prefer for this kind of option. The bamboo is easy to grow and not to mention that it is a highly renewable source of materials, especially when we compare it with the hardwood. Because it is easy to grow, the amount of money to spend for this project is kind of cheaper, which is good for those who are seeking for affordable solution of home décor. Bamboo flooring also is the best flooring option to install over radiant heating. People also know that when they use the bamboo flooring throughout the house, it is easy for them to maintain and clean it. So, what the pros?
Bamboo only takes 3 up to 5 years to mature while hardwood needs longer times, like 20 up to 100 years. Based on that kind of reason, bamboo durability might be less compared to hardwood. That is the reason why you need to pay serious attention in the way you choose type of bamboo now.

Richmond, VA – During the October 11 meeting of the Governor’s Advisory Council on Environmental Justice (ACEJ), Senior Assistant Attorney General Paul Kugelman noted that Governor Ralph Northam has yet to reissue the Executive Order that established the ACEJ in 2017, calling the council’s legal status into question. According to Kugelman, the legal status of the council may have already or will soon be expired.
Shortly after this meeting, the Secretary of Natural Resources Matt Strickler issued the administration’s formal “response” to the ACEJ’s recommendations for the Mountain Valley and Atlantic Coast Pipelines and the Buckingham compressor station, largely dismissing the notion that the administration could do anything to address the council’s concerns about the environmental injustices generated by the approval and construction of these projects.
“In the past, Governor Ralph Northam and Secretary of Natural Resources Matt Strickler have both spoken on their commitment to environmental justice. We urge Governor Northam to reflect on the importance of justice enabling all Virginians to live in a clean, safe environment.

We are proud to use timber from sustainable, ethical suppliers. For us, it’s not just about timber sales; it’s about making Brisbane and Australia better places to live. For us, that means helping the environment by only handling timber that has been sustainably sourced.
Queensland has numerous timber plantations. They are a clean, sustainable source for timber. This not only provides us with a great supply of timber, it also helps combat climate change.
When timber is harvested in a plantation, trees are harvested after they are no longer storing carbon at their peak rate and are replaced by new trees, which then grow to their peak rate of storage. On the other hand, if trees are just chopped out of a forest and not replaced, their capacity to store carbon is gone forever.
In 2008, the last year we have a measurement for, trees sequestered 23 mt of CO2. This is the equivalent of roughly four percent of Australia’s total emissions. While this doesn’t sound like a lot, it is a huge step in the right direction for a world that is rapidly trying to kill itself.
If you want timber sourced from ethical sources, mostly based in Queensland, call Narangba Timbers today. We carry some imported timber, but most of what we have is locally sourced, allowing us to offer some of the lowest prices in the business. Call us today: (07) 3888 1293.

I guess this photo gives new meaning to the term “cookout”.
This is an Ashland wood-burning kitchen stove, which was moved outside for summer cooking. Taken by contributor ShipshewanaIndiana in the Adams County settlement.
Since A/C is not a thing in Amish homes, you have to make other arrangements in the summer time. This is why some Amish families spend more time in their cool basements during the sticky months.
The Amish of northern Indiana (Elkhart/Lagrange counties, Nappanee), a large chunk of whom work for non-Amish employers in the RV industry and whose orbits align perhaps a bit more with those of English America than other Amish, typically enjoy time off on Independence Day.
I recall meeting families in this settlement on the way to the local fireworks display while living in the area two summers ago. Amish moms and kids were as excited to see the show as, say, any family plucked from American suburbia might be.
What about that most ubiquitous of American symbols, the flag? No doubt they will be seen proudly waving on the front lawns of many homes today. Though Amish appreciate being able to live in a democratic nation, the liberties and privileges they are allowed, and the protection they receive from the state, they rarely if ever engage in explicit displays of patriotism. Out of the few thousand Amish homes I’ve visited in half-a-dozen states to date, I have yet to come upon one with the Stars-and-Stripes hoisted out front. And I don’t expect to.
But there are the buggy races which should be happening today in Topeka, Indiana.
If you happen to be in the northern Indiana area over the 4th weekend, the Arment Gallery (125 N. Morton St, Shipshewana, IN) is offering 20% off anything in the store to Amish America readers. Just print this page and bring it in for your discount (offer valid through July 2014).
We’ll be featuring more Arment Gallery photos next week and hearing from David Arment about his craft.

I would love to be at a cook-out with the Amish, Me being a guy who loves cook-outs any time, can only imagine what tasty food would be served. I was invited one year for my birthday, to eat dinner at my friends who happen to be Amish, and I can honestly say the food was exceptionally good, so with that being said, I wonder what more delicious food would be there? Maybe if I’m lucky,I will be invited to one, oh I dream of that day.
Have a great 4th everyone…be safe!
I am going to be lucky enough to be at a cookout with some Amish friends next week when I go to Ohio. Very nice folks. Met them a few years back and have become friends with them and visit them each time I make the trip up there. Love that area!
Home, home on the range !
….and a happy 4th to everyone!
Margaret, Carolyn, your “captions” are spot-on! I’m smilin’ as I type this!
Garrett, maybe we can tag along 🙂 with Kathy to her friends’ house in Ohio for some tasty Amish cuisine! How fortunate for you both to have Amish friends to dine with now and then!
I love the idea of “summer kitchens”. I loved visiting summer kitchens in Williamsburg and other “historic” American settlements in different states. Even growing up in Chicago, we never had central air–only one window AC, and when that gave out, we spent most of our time in our knotty-pine remodeled basement where it was always several degrees cooler.
I wish more “modern” homes had ample porches, like the one here, for enjoying more time “outdoors”, yet in the shade. Or for cooking purposes (I wonder who thought to move the stove out there? The cook, or her husband? Of course, I’m just assuming the cook is the lady of this Amish household).
Thanks so much for the photo, Shipshewanaindiana!
And thanks, Erik, for the whole posting on this, our 238th birthday as a nation. A safe and Happy Independence Day to all!
We are hoping to visit an Amish settlement next week in Pawnee City, Nebraska and have heard there may be a few smaller Amish settlements in the areas of Orchard, Ewing, and Verdigre, Nebraska, but cannot find any information on whether these still exist. Does anyone know if there are any Amish still in this Northern part of the state of Nebraska?
Thank you for the quick reply, Erik! Some of the information/links you provided I had seen, but some was new and helpful.
I apologize if I repeat things you already know.
I am in Nebraska and have been to most of the places you seek. Pawnee City is roughly 240 miles from the Orchard/Verdigre area. Unless your heart is set on going to those specific places I would head for just the one closest to you. “If” that would be the Northern Amish in Orchard/Verdigre I understand there is a new 3 family settlement in Center Nebraska… but have not been there. I would also consider hitting the only Amish settlement in Sound Dakota, in Tripp which is about an hour drive above the Orchard area.
If I can be of any help let me know.
People used to go out to the bathroom, and in to eat. Now they go out to eat, and in to the bathroom!
Meadow Creek Barbecue of New Holland, PA, makes BBQ grills. Their large grills are used at fundraisers and benefit auctions.
I understand there is a colony of Amish in Southern Colorado. Do they have little shops there and places to visit? I want very much to meet them. I’m fascinated by languages and while they call their language “Dutch” it sounds more like “Deutsch”.
Andrea there are actually 4 communities in southern Colorado. None of them are very large but there are some businesses. You can actually see one of the communities being scouted in the PBS film “The Amish”. There is footage of Amish visiting and checking out some land for a potential community.
I think of old methods in Sweden to cope with the heat in summer. In some houses they would have a cooking stove on the second floor as well and cook on that in summer to keep the kitchen which was the main room for more or less everything as cool as possible. Some would clean out the barn and live in the barn for summer while the animals lived in simple summer shelters outside. If they had two buildings on the property (for example one house for the family and one for the grand parents) they would all move in to one house and use the other for cooking. In northern Sweden “baking-cottages” are common, they are a small house with a big oven used mainly for baking. If these houses also had a cooking stove they were often also used for food in summer. The reason for not having the oven in the house was fire, a baking oven should be heated for quite a long time and with a lot of wood and it was considered a bigger fire hazard than just having fire for heating and cooking. Also, you solved the problem of the house being too hot from the heat of the oven as well.
Elin, it is interesting that you posted this. That tradition existed in Texas up until about 100 years ago or so. The earliest houses were generally a one of two room cabin, but typically with no kitchen. It was in a self-contained building away from the house to keep the house cool and lessen the chance of a total loss because of fire.
When the family’s fortunes increased they would add a mirror image cabin joined by a porch that ran right down the middle of the two halves, often with a new roof that covered everything. The house was then called a “dog trot” house for the breezeway down the middle. The kitchen, however, remained where it was.
I will tell you that this is actually a very old idea. It was very common in the 19th century to have one cookstove on a farm which was moved back and forth between the main house and the summer kitchen. The summer kitchen really being intended to keep the main house cooler in the summer, plus the bigger meals at harvest could be prepared without tracking a lot of extra dirt into the main house. My folks often talked about the “hoch koche” or ‘big cooking’ such as canning or butchering that also took place in the summer kitchens.
I think the summer kitchen concept is a good, even necessary idea in days before mechanical cooling. But aren’t summer kitchens usually separate structures? Or would we call something like this a summer kitchen, even though it appears improvised on the porch?
The English people called us Dutch. We call ourselves and our language Deitsch which is dialect for Deutsch.
I can tell that in my region of Pennsylvania, the summer kitchen was a separate building especially on farmsteads that were built in the eighteenth century. Sometimes they were also the original settler’s cottage that was transformed into a summer kitchen when the main house was completed. The newer farmsteads still had a detached summer kitchen that was often joined to the back of the house by a breezeway or porch. My farmhouse is actually late nineteenth century and at that point the summer kitchen was attached to the house but closed off by a doorway. The concept was still the same. Many times the summer kitchens have been converted to a wash house/laundry house. I also know of some that were converted to canning kitchens, again a vaariation on a theme. In the southern states the kitchens were also detached, however, I’ve been told that was more to protect the main house in the event of a kitchen fire.
Interesting Terry. I believe one of my friends in Lancaster actually had his old summer kitchen converted to a small living quarters. It’s not there any longer however, had to go when they expanded the home.

It’s quite common knowledge for most that beating the odds in roulette is actually next to impossible, any roulette betting robot can certainly merely adhere to a strategy. Probabilities in no way deliver the results and you can in no way predict where the ball will land by using past incidences. However, just because you can’t defeat the odds the mathematical way doesn’t mean that you actually can’t defeat them the physical way www.kasinokul.com. Hence, the study on manipulating roulette physics came to be.
There are lots of rules involved with roulette physics. There’s the architectural design of the wheel, the initial speed at the beginning of the game, and the rate by which it decelerates as soon as it nears the end of the spin. Roulette physics also includes the initial velocity of the ball, the angular vector with regards to the speed, and its slowing rate which forecasts exactly where it will eventually land.
Now, you might think that all these kinds of factors which affect roulette physics appear too complicated for anybody to produce the most effective strategy based on all of them. Then again, some individuals have been successful in manipulating roulette physics as a way to defeat the odds. Below are a few examples about how roulette physics could be manipulated.
Previously, lots of people discovered methods to tamper with the roulette wheel in an effort to manipulate roulette physics as well as enhance their winning chances. These individuals would likely sneak into casinos after closing time and also doctor up the roulette wheels. They’d loosen a few pocket frets by using pliers along with other equipment. All these loose frets would consequently absorb the ball’s energy in the course of play, therefore inducing it to stay in the pocket.
This method associated with beating the odds is not so much on manipulating roulette physics but more upon knowing a sufficient amount of about the physical laws regulating the overall game to make up a close to accurate prediction regarding the end result. During Past Posting, the only thing that is required of you is a couple of sharp eyes as well as speedy hands click for source . These are generally skills you need to be able to quickly put your own wager while the dealer might be looking down to check which number the actual ball lands. You should utilize this technique of manipulating roulette physics in getting rid of losing wagers and changing it with winning ones. But it is a technique that’s not without its hazards. Casinos are very well aware about this method and have trained their dealer to watch out for past posters.

This logic model provides a simplified, visual description of the Parents as Teachers’ theory of change and provides a general picture of how the evidence-based Parents as Teachers model is intended to work to achieve desired outcomes.
The logic model represents a sequence of events. It flows from left to right and shows how change occurs over time. Reading the logic model is similar to reading a series of “If…then” statements.
Parents as Teachers consists of four dynamic and interrelated components, however additional strategies or model enhancements may be appropriate to best address families’ needs at the local level. For example, implementation may be modified to be culturally responsive, directed to special populations, or offered in conjunction with other early childhood programs as determined by community need.
Our logic model offers a visual description of our theory of change and how we achieve our desired outcomes.
How can the logic model be used?
The logic model provides a conceptual framework that can be used in program planning, training and professional development, allocation of personnel and resources, and evaluation. By demonstrating that activities are not ends unto themselves, parent educators can be increasingly intentional as they work with families to create change and achieve the goals of Parents as Teachers.

the threat you linked has 13 pages to read, could you mabye tell me what part of it i should look at ? that'd be really nice.
50 feet and indoors would be fine for my purpose.
any suggestion what exact transmitter i should use ?
For FPV, not so good. There are chipsets available, so if you cannot find a suitable portable HDMI transmitter, you might be able to design and build your own (or hire somebody to do it for you).
What is MUCH more commonly done for FPV is to let an HD camera (Hero, etc.) on the aircraft record HD video for later use, and use a low-definition analog camera to fly the aircraft with FPV.
i do need it for livestreaming, so recording and playing later won't do the trick. i do need a livestream with maximum quality.
though indoors / 50feet range would be sufficient.
what about my idea of transmitting analog but not on one channel but on four, or six or whatever many ? and somehow fit the data back together on the other side ?
Although "top posting" is the preferred style in email and mailing lists, it is considered to be bad "netiquette" in most forums such as this one. I rearranged your post in my quote to conform with the existing style commonly used here. Your posts should follow the local posting style as well.
Your aircraft could spread the LEDS around its surface, and you can place multiple receivers around the room, so at least one LED is always visible to at least one receiver. Light range is NOT limited. You can see superbright LEDs from miles away.
Combining multiple channels of analog requires more free channels, or at least one of them will have interference from other devices (and close proximity transmitters will certainly interfere with each other). Also, there are only 4 Wi-Fi channels allocated for analog video transmission, and they overlap with other digital Wi-Fi transmissions. Digital communications with FEC (forward error correction) may be more robust and with h.264 compression would also use less bandwidth, and can be broadcast on ANY available Wi-Fi channel. Combining the analog signals at the receiver would be complicated, and splitting the analog signals at the aircraft would also be complicated (requiring power-hungry processing).
doesn't this here sound really promising ?
System Requirements Any source device with an HDMI® such as a Blu-ray, PS3®, Xbox 360® or cable box.
But beware that it uses wireless media frequencies, which are restricted by FCC regulation to indoor use only (in the USA). Most wireless media devices only claim a range of only 15 to 50 feet, and the farther you get between transmitter and receiver the poorer the signal quality. Unless this product exceeds maximum allowed transmit power, they may not be accurate on their "160-feet range" claims.
amazon seems to sell it, but there seems to be -loads- of systems like this. i wonder which one's the best for my purpose.
I don't understand why you need HD anyways. The oculus only have a resolution of 640*800 on each eye, and most analog FPV systems are not much worse than that (400 lines or so IIRC). The usable resolution on the rift (the part of the screen you can actually look at) is even lower, if you downscale the image a bit you will have no problem reaching the max potential resolution.
maybe it's possible to use YPbPr as method of analog transmission and gain in quality ?
from what i've seen all those tx/rx systems have 8 channels, wouldnt it be an idea to use three of them for YPbPr ?
i'm just tossing them into the room, and i don't know if many, if any, of those will actually help.
Analog doubles its vertical resoltion with vertical interlacing. Each 60Hz field is combined into a 30Hz frame, but there can be complications with digitizing this, with various "pull-down" or "bob and weave" methods to help combine interleaved video frames, but you still get ugly artifacts in some cases. NTSC encoding also alternates the checkerboard artifacts created by the 3.58MHz color encoding, resulting in "dot crawl" along brightlight colored edges in the video (especially computer generated video such as OSD).
NTSC video is actually 360 non-square pixels per line (determined by the 3.58MHz colorburst frequency), but many video digitizers use a wider pixel clock to create square pixels, resulting in only 320 pixels per scanline, but many digitizers also let you select non-square pixels (i.e. 360 pixels per line). To digitize more than 360 pixels per line you either need to turn off colorburst (and its low-pass filter) at the transmitting end, giving monochrome video, or you need to transmit S-Video (monochrome and composite color signals occupying two channels).
Before the colorburst signal is injected, the video is low-pass filtered to remove high-frequency components that could cause "picket fence rainbow" artifacts like old non-filtered video cameras did in the early color days (commonly visible on pin-stripe suits in video recorded in the early days of color). This low-pass filter is bypassed when shooting in Black & White (monochrome) allowing 720 grayscale pixels per scanline instead of 360 colored pixels.
CIF, known as either Common Intermediate Format or Common Interchange Format, is the standard bearer for most Web conferencing solutions and consumer video chat products. CIF itself is defined as having an image resolution of 352x288, pushing images at 30 frames per second. The full CIF standard is a similar resolution to standard definition television broadcasts.
Despite the claims you read about resolutions (such as above), you can double the vertical resolution with interlacing, but because the combined fields came from different times, the result can be very ugly for motion video, and is therefore often sacrificed when digitizing still frames. When ditigizing video, various forms of interpolation can be used to synthesize the missing scanlines from the "other" 60Hz field, but that can cause time-domain artifacts.
what do you think about my YPbPr idea ?
You can do YPbPr at 480p, but higher resolution needs extra bandwidth for the Y channel, and you really do not gain anything over the benefits of S-Video (Y/C) while requiring more analog channels. For HD, you need at least FOUR times the bandwidth just for the Y component alone, and splitting C (chroma) into PbPr has no benefit but costs an extra channel.
right now i'm fighting with the raspberry-pi + the eascap.
"lsusb" shows me an additional device, if i plug it in, but leaves the name empty and "usbdevices" shows it, but again with no name.
i can't find any entry in /dev/... though.
It's working for me, I can capture video with the Easycap STK1160 on my Raspberry Pi !
'lsusb' shows the "STK1160 Video Capture Device"
It also works with VLC !
Not just any EasyCap DC60 will do. Some clones use a different chipset. Does yours contain the STK1160 chipset? If not, that could be your problem.
how would i find out ? do i have to open the thing somehow ?
I have used my DIY rift (5.6") quite a bit for FPV flight and it's very good.
Getting stereo is another matter, however as the bandwidth used by the transmitter is very high. I fly with 2.4Ghz video and old 35mhz control - I can 'get away' with two cameras on 2.4 - but you need to be in a secluded spot away from wifi and ESPECIALLY other flyers - you will be tarred and feathered, normal model flyers hate FPVers, generally speaking. In the UK anyways.
I also rigged up a wifi stereo camera, but latency was far far to high for real time usage.
My rig was based around Fat Shark, to to get my feed I just took the AV out of the fat shark goggles and into my 7in1.
It's worth pointing out that I find flight in stereo pretty, but unnecessary. For cars / trucks and tanks however it is very cool indeed.
With the 'real' rift, due to the partial overlap and HDMI/DVI requirements, I am expecting to have to run the feed through a laptop to processes first, which as you suggest, may cause some bad lag - but we'll see. hopefully soon.
i now tried to use the easycap dc60 with my windows7-fullhd-laptop.
it's recognized, but when i directly plugin the horyzonhd-v3 camera (via it's analog cable), i get no picture, just grey.
any idea what i could have to do here ?
it is a 1080p digicam with h.264 output. Although you did not say, perhaps your receiver provides an analog video output, which the EasyCap needs for its video input. If you are indeed feeding analog video from the camera to the EasyCap, perhaps you need to select a different video modulation method (NTSC/PAL/SECAM)? The video out and video in need to use the same modulation. The receiver may have some way to select video format, but the EasyCap driver software should also have such a selection. Just make sure they match.
What sort of digital to analog converter did you use? Or are there analog wires embedded in that mini-hdmi connector? I did not see that listed in the camera specs.
The real problem is that HDMI is digital and RCA is analog. You will need a converter box, which normally run something like 30 – 40 bucks, but which are relatively lightweight for your aircraft.
Obviously that means you cannot do this on a very small aircraft, but really for just about anything that is not absolutely minuscule this will work fine.
You did not really provide enough details (and neither does the product spec), so perhaps that IS what you are doing.
Apparently, "experts" at that other forum were not aware of this optional analog video cable.
So back to your problem: be sure the camera and EasyCap are using the same video modulation standard (NTSC/PAL/SECAM). You can probably select that in the camera menus, and also in the EasyCap software.
It is typical to digitize NTSC as 640x480i 30FPS, or PAL 800x600i 25Hz. Or you may be able to run half resolution (QVGA) at twice the frequency, depending on your available options and personal requirements.
i checked that already, and tried with both PAL and NTSC on both sides. the computer allows me various versions of PAL/NTSC though (PAL-B, PAL-D, and 10 more).
i didn't try all yet. the horyzonhd offers only either PAL or NTSC.
no combination i tried yet worked.
Have you tried digitizing OTHER analog video content with your EasyCap (such as the analog output of an "antique" VCR)? Also, can you view the video out from the camera on a different device (such as the analog input on a TV or VCR)?
When I buy hackable hardware (and hackability strongly influences my purchasing decisions), I almost ALWAYS buy two, so that I have one for hacking and/or part-swapping to help with diagnosing problems with the other one. In fact, I currently have FIVE Razer Hydras (but sadly, only ONE Rift DK).
if i just turn on the camera itself, i can see the video on the small camera-intern screen, so there -is- a picture.
though this might be default and correct behavior, since the camera "thinks" that it's plugged in somewhere else.
that would be waaay over my league, i wouldn't want to crash something like this, but maybe that could give some advice about getting some smaller digital video transmission setup ?
You need an amateur radio license for more than one watt of wifi transmit power (up to 200 watts ERP), and you need to stay on the lower wifi channels that overlap the amateur radio band (2400-2450MHz). I have both a license and 2W wifi equipment, but I am using 2.4GHz analog video (also 2W) at this time... For high-power wifi, you need to add your amateur radio callsign to your SSID.
Here is my two cents and wishes for developers.
Raspberry Pi camera module with 1080 5 mpixel sensor is in production this week, probably out for sale in a few weeks. estimated 30$ or so, and 2x2cm size ish.
Combine with a Raspberry PI with a camera module on plane, with Wifi link streams video straight to basestation with another Raspberry Pi with HDMI out into the Rift glasses, Live video. 2.4 ghz are cheap and easily availiable for cheap. Standalone solution and you can pick up the video stream on another computer at the same time for recording.
Do some more hacking and get the Oculus Rift head tracking connected to The Raspberry and send via Wifi up to the plane.
If someone manages to get that working i will be thrilled!
how do you plan to increase the fps ?
The RasPi will certainly have stricter limits than a desktop environment, regarding what you can do on it. But some things will be a good fit for a Rift DK and a RasPi. We just need to create or discover them.
Perhaps I just need to work in a different colorspace to get a higher framerate, but just letting the CPU TOUCH all the pixels in the framebuffer prevents a full 1280x800 60Hz speed. Full framebuffers are better processed by GLSL shaders.
i wonder what the best way with a flying raspberry-pi would be, regarding sending data down.
We're working on a community driven FPV solution for the Oculus Rift. Check out the worlds first Oculus Rift FPV flight. Were calling the solution the Transporter3D. We're looking at doing a production version and are crowd sourcing the final features.
We'd love to have your feedback.
50ft+ So 2 wi-fi cameras should do the trick. Then you need a software that makes them side-by-side stereoscopic image. After that it would be as simple as capturing that side-by-side feed with oculus overlay and feeding it on to your headset. You'd need a small laptop, but that could be easily carried in a backbag with oculus control box and batteries.
Opentrack supports rift so maybe it could be utilized to feed the tracking data to your tx and from there to the camera servos.
Edit: Is there a forum / more info ? I guess I can use my fat shark transmitter & reciever with your 3D camera; where does the OR warping happen?

While taboo, women regretting having children has been a phenomenon increasingly coming out of the closet. Online discussions like Reddit’s “Have you ever wished you didn’t have kids? If so, why?” and Quora’s “What is it like to regret having children?” have hundreds of comments. The Facebook group “I Regret Having Children” has grown to over 7,000 members. Sociologist Orna Donath analyzed the accounts of 23 Israeli mothers who regretted having children in her analysis, Regretting Motherhood: A Sociopolitical Analysis, which quickly gained popularity. Also, two bestselling books appeared on the topic, Corinne Maier's No Kids: 40 Good Reasons Not To Be A Mother and Sarah Fischer’s Regretting Motherhood. Fischer also reported getting 80 emails a day from mothers thanking her for her work.
Identity crisis emerges as the birth of the child gives “birth” to the mother. She feels her new identity as a lifelong burden. Moreover, the beautiful little baby quickly becomes a commanding little manager. The woman’s individual potential appears to become overshadowed and suppressed by her role as mother. Regret for having children. It’s a taboo subject difficult for most women to open up about. However, in recent years, Internet discussions, bestselling books and sociological studies have helped place it into the public spotlight.
Instead, this new desire is leading us to the discovery of something entirely different: a higher reality, balance and harmony with the creative force that sustains and develops life. In other words, today’s new desire is demanding contact with the meaning of life, which is in essence, above and beyond everything in our world... including our children.
The men draw the Light and the women provide them with the desire for correction.
The phrase "man and woman coming together" brings up images for all of us that have absolutely nothing to do with what it really signifies. To us, we see corporeal men and women relating to each other as their bodies, minds and emotions direct them.
In Kabbalah, the coming together of man and woman is not about Adam and Eve or even about men and women. It is about a part of humanity that is masculine and a part that is feminine. The reason for their coming together is to complete one another and bring about the general correction of mankind. When the men study the wisdom of Kabbalah and draw the Light, the women provide them with the need, the desire, the fuel to fire their energy for this correction. Each has their part, neither is more important than the other, and neither can do without the other.
Women need fewer conditions to advance spiritually than men do.
Kabbalah states that if a man wants to advance spiritually, he is obliged to marry and have a family. It is his responsibility to fulfill these obligations. Otherwise, he cannot advance spiritually.
A woman, on the other hand, can advance spiritually even if she is not a mother or a wife. Moreover, if she has the means for existence, she may also choose not to work. That is, in comparison to a man, a woman is relatively self-sufficient and can grow spiritually without many external conditions that apply to men. Thus, from the spiritual point of view, she is a considerably more perfect creature than a man.
A man has to overcome himself, to constantly convince himself that it's worth staying on the spiritual path. He is less susceptible to spiritual advancement than a woman, who naturally aspires toward everything spiritual. She is ready to accept, feel and understand all of the spiritual transformations that are happening in her. She yearns for this.
The need for the spiritual ascent is manifested much more in a woman. She feels unsatisfied with our world, disappointed in family and work. A man looks for foolish passions, such as football, beer, friends and so on, and then gets lost in them. He lives pursuing false goals. A woman is unable do this. She perceives emptiness more internally and acutely. She cannot appease herself with such petty goals and temporary painkillers. More often she embarks on a spiritual search and comes to study Kabbalah.
We see this happening all over the world. More than half of the 1.3 million students studying within the framework of the Kabbalah Institute are women.
Women demand the spiritual status equal to that of men.
We are living in a very special time. Children leave home at a young age; relationships between couples are not as close as they used to be. Today, women are in the same social circles and have the same power as men and in many cases even more. As a result, the feeling of emptiness and attempts to find fulfillment and happiness are no longer related to family or even a woman's professional life.
Although it is still important to a woman to be content with her husband, children or grandchildren, as well as with her professional life, this is not enough for her. Her ego is so developed that it breaks through the fences of the family, the work place and even the nation. It wants spirituality.
This yearning for spiritual fulfillment has increased during the last 15 - 20 years. Before the current generation, there were a few cases here and there, but it did not occur by the thousands as it is today.
These days remind us of the times of Abraham, who formed the first Kabbalistic group in ancient Babylon. In those ancient times the women who attained spirituality were by the men's side. They were on a spiritual level equal to that of the men. The great prophetesses, such as Dvorah, Hulda and others reached spiritual levels even greater than the men's. People lived in realization of Godliness, and children were taught these truths from an early age.
But after humanity's decline from spirituality, we rarely saw women Kabbalists. There were a few who reached spirituality, from the times of the destruction of the Second Temple until our generation, but they were a limited number.
Today, however, whether we like it or not, we are going back to that same early state in which humanity was united as one man in one heart. Because of this women have to be on the same spiritual level as men. In other words, the spiritual downfall of humanity that led to the devaluation of the woman's spiritual status has to be remedied in our days.
Hence, today, we have to answer the demand that comes from so many women. It isn't just a demand but a true need.
Women can change reality by fulfilling their spiritual role in the world.
Women should realize that in their hands lies great power. They are the ones who can change the world. How? By understanding and fulfilling their spiritual role in the world, just as they understand their role in the family.
Women naturally know how to organize the family, how to make it all work, how to care for children, husband, and kitchen. They should understand equally well that they have an inner ability to know how the world has to be organized according to its spiritual root. They should also know that they have the power to make the men execute their will.
We see that humanity is becoming a small house, a small village. Men have tried numerous times to lead it, but it hasn't brought us much good. So the problems that are surfacing today make the women feel that they must come forward. Let us hope that men will listen, yet it is essential that women will know what to say.

Developing a sense of self is a large part of early childhood development and it’s something that should be nurtured from a young age. Here are some highlighted books that you can explore with your preschoolers to help them in that journey of self-discovery and self-esteem.
With so many questions coming at him, Exclamation Mark gets a little flustered. So much so, that he yells, “STOP!” And, thanks to the fact that he is an Exclamation Mark, this one word makes quite an impression. Our hero has finally found his voice. His confidence builds and soon he is proudly making declarative statements and happily expressing himself.
The Dot is a beautiful story about a girl named Vashti who does not believe she can draw. She is filled with self-doubt until her teacher gently persuades her to, “just make a mark and see where it takes you.” Vashti draws one dot and her teacher insists she sign the drawing. Later, the teacher frames and hangs the drawing. Once Vashti sees her artwork signed and framed, she is inspired to experiment more with dots, making more elaborate creations each time. At the end of the book, Vashti then passes on her teacher’s words of wisdom to another student who does not believe he can draw a straight line. She hands him a paper and pencil and asks him to draw.
This book is special because it skillfully deals with a serious subject in a fun, silly, joyful, not-so-serious way. The rhyming text is catchy and the vibrant, colorful, caricature-like illustrations are delightful. The book features a lovable little girl who really knows what matters. By her example, your kids will learn to appreciate everything about themselves–inside and out—from being a “silly nut or crazy cuckoo bird” to having porcupine hair, knobby knees, and stinky toes (a trait my 4-year-old especially identifies with)!
Todd Parr has deservedly won numerous awards for his books that celebrate diversity including a Parent’s Choice Gold Award and Mom’s Choice Award Honoring Excellence. In his companion books Be Who You Are and It’s Okay to Be Different—both of which feature his signature neon-colored illustrations and simple but effective words–Parr shows kids that their unique traits are what make them special and encourages them to embrace their true selves. I really like how Parr has included a special note at the beginning of Be Who You Are describing how he felt awkward and out of place as a kid. It makes the book even more relatable and enjoyable for little ones.
Elmer is a patchwork elephant with a large personality. In the first classic book and throughout the whole Elmer series the message is clear. Elmer is different, but he is accepted and valued just the way he is. He is unique and has a special talent to make everyone happy.
This one is great because it alternates between a girl’s and a boy’s point of view, has fun rhyming text and vibrant pictures.

If you happen to be driving through Cherokee into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park just before sunset chances are good you’ll spot an elk. Or several elk. Sometimes as many as two dozen will leave the dense forest behind in favor of feeding in the large field at the Oconaluftee Visitor Center. But before you try to view these elk for yourself there are a few things you should know.
TOP: A bull elk walks across the field in front of the Mountain Farm Museum. BOTTOM: Two bull elks circling each other in a field.
At one point in history elk were plentiful throughout the Great Smoky Mountains. But over hunting and loss of habitat led to the removal of the elk by the late 1700s. But after being gone for over two hundred years the park service came up with an idea.
In 2001 the national park conducted an experiment: return a single herd of elk to the park to see if they could sustain themselves. It worked. Sixteen years later there are over 150 elk in the park scattered around the Oconaluftee Visitor Center and Cataloochee Valley. The initial herd of 25 elk, and the next herd of 27, were imported from the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area.
Elk enjoy grazing when it’s cool and out of direct sunlight. Early mornings just after sunrise and usually about 1-2 hours before sunset they will leave the shady comfort of the forest to begin grazing in the large field at the Oconaluftee Visitor Center and Cataloochee Valley. It’s not always a guarantee but the large wild animals do need to feed each day so chances are definitely in your favor.
The best place to watch the elk are at the visitor center near Cherokee. The large field provides plenty of food and room for them to roam. There is ample parking at the visitor center and it’s an easy walk back to the edge of the field. Visitors are discouraged from stopping in the middle of the road because it is a major thoroughfare between Cherokee and Gatlinburg.
Another good place to view the elk is sometimes at the Mountain Farm Exhibit behind the visitor center. It’s a short five minute walk down a primitive path. Often times the elk will graze or roam the field directly beside the exhibit.
Traffic can get backed up easily while the elk are in the field at the Oconaluftee Visitor Center. Try to keep moving and park your vehicle if you want to view them.
The national park requires people to stay at least 150′ away from wildlife at all times. This is as much for their protection as yours. Elk are big animals with the female weighing around 400 pounds and males around 700. You don’t want one of them trampling over you! But it’s also dangerous for the wildlife to get close to humans because if they become used to such an interaction it will encourage further interactions that will eventually lead to an animal’s death or human’s injuries.
Bring binoculars with you or camera with long focal lengths of at least 100mm. The field is quite large and elk will roam any section of it. Visitors are allowed to walk around the edge of the field alongside the road but are discouraged from entering the field. Photographers eager for a good photo need at least a 300mm lens for full body photos and around 600mm for close up action shots.
TOP: A bull elk bugling during the autumn rut. BOTTOM: Twenty minutes later he was battling a smaller bull elk hoping to gain some attention from the females.
What is the autumn elk rut?
Each year from about mid-September to mid-October male elk, also known as bulls, will vie for the affection of females, or cows. Bull elks will let out a loud bugle call in an attempt to attract the attention of the females. The bull elks are more aggressive and territorial than usual and will frequently challenge smaller bull elks. These challenges aren’t actual fights since neither wants to suffer a grave injury but rather a display of their antlers and prowess.
Cool autumn days near the end of September, right before sunset, are the best times to visit the Oconaluftee Visitor Center to see the elk rut. If you’re really lucky you’ll catch a couple of bull elks challenging each other but I’ll warn you now: it’s a slow process. From the first bugle to the conclusion of the challenge can take around 20-30 minutes.

For FAQs regarding volunteering with Ardoch, visit here.
For FAQs regarding Working with Children Check, visit here.
How can I update my contact details with Ardoch?
If you would like to update your banking details as a Friend of Ardoch for your monthly donations, please phone us on 03 9537 2414.
How is my donation to Ardoch spent? And where does Ardoch’s funding come from?
Ardoch works hard to ensure that donor funds go directly to where they are needed most, to support children and young people in education. Our overheads and staffing costs are tightly controlled and managed, and Ardoch is recognised for our expertise in mobilising in kind support in the form of volunteer time and donated goods.
Ardoch’s annual operating revenue is derived from several streams of income: philanthropic trusts and foundations, the business sector, fundraising events and generous donations from individuals and organisations in the community. We receive only very small amounts of government funding, mostly from local governments in the communities in which we work.
Ardoch Youth Foundation began in 1988, when our Founder Kathy Hilton helped one young girl to complete her schooling. Visit the Our History page for more information.
How does Ardoch decide which schools or preschools to partner with?
Ardoch uses community data to identify areas with the highest need for educational support, such as Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA) from ABS data. Our school partners have an Index of Community Socio-educational Advantage (ICSEA) value of under 1,000 (the average), or are slightly higher but have more than 25% of students in the bottom quartile. More than 4,600 schools in Australia, across the government, independent and Catholic sectors have an ICSEA value of under 1,000.
We use the Australian Early Development Census (AEDC) data to identify target areas for our early years work where young children are particularly vulnerable when they start school, together with community data about socio-economic disadvantage.

Dimensions, materials, data, specification, etc.
Woodwork for Inventor provides an option of integrating generated information with the Autodesk Vault Professional product data management system. Proper configuration of the Woodwork for Inventor and Autodesk Vault Professional software allows you to automatically transfer such component parameters as part or workpiece dimensions, material or color codes which have been assigned while working with the Woodwork for Inventor program, etc. In principle, you can set up the systems so that any parameter generated in the Woodwork for Inventor program may be transferred as an additional component property to the Autodesk Vault Professional data tab.
Moreover, the Woodwork for Inventor specification generator (BOM) can directly generate specifications into the Item Master section. Here, each Autodesk Inventor component with Woodwork for Inventor materials assigned to it expands into additional components which make up a part of the furniture’s item. For example, the fill workpiece and cover workpieces. In this way, the transfer of information from Woodwork for Inventor to Autodesk Vault Professional specifications is fully executed. The transfer connection may be configured so that the specification items being generated are automatically classified into categories. All this greatly facilitates navigation through Autodesk Vault Professional data.
There is an additional option that allows you to configure Woodwork for Inventor so that the files used in production are automatically included along with the component into the Autodesk Vault Professional data. For example, CNC programs or PDF drawings may be generated for the component.

I played in a COD: Black Ops 2 online tournament in 2014 and my team won and we received a Destiny Xbox 360 digital download.
I have been gaming since 4 years old, and first played COD: MW2 when i was 8. I was instantly in love with it and loved the competitive aspect the most. I continued to play Call of Duty, and when Black Ops 2 was released I played that and got Master Prestige very quickly and ended up going into ranked play and was a gold. When Advanced Warfare was released I was addicted and I became one of the top 150 players in the world in ranked play on the Xbox One during the first season. The Christmas of 2017 I bought my first gaming PC and play CS:GO, League Of Legends, and Rainbow 6 Seige competitively.

Ubuntu lovers I have a very good news for you. Canonical and the Ubuntu developers officially announced the availability Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS the fourth maintenance update to Ubuntu's 10.04 LTS release. This release includes updated server, desktop, alternate installation CDs and DVDs for the i386 and amd64 architectures. Parallely the Kubuntu team made Kubuntu 10.04.4. LTS available which again includes updated images for the desktop and alternate installation CDs and DVDs for the i386 and amd64 architectures. The most notable change is that Firefox has been updated to Firefox 9 and will track Mozilla's rapid release updates. This is the last planned maintenance release for the 10.04 LTS series. Future security updates and bug fixes will be individually downloadable from the Ubuntu archive in the same way as before, but no further updates to installation media will be provided for 10.04 LTS. The next LTS release, 12.04 LTS, will be released in April 2012.
Earlier in 2011 Ubuntu team has released both version 11.10 code named "Oneiric Ocelot" & 12.04 LTS code named "Precise Pangolin". In the last month they made 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) Alpha 2 available.

Perhaps, long long ago, once upon a time, in the year of our Lord, when the world was new – tribes of giants really walked this earth. Maybe we slayed them all or maybe they were so dim-witted and so aggressive that they destroyed themselves. Maybe giants were just really very tall people, not really giants at all. Seven or eight-footers, the kind who still roam the earth today – and who are weary of strangers asking if they play basketball.
There is no fossil record of a giant humanoid to measure out in cubits.
In the psychical world, however, giants do still exist.
It is completely beside the point whether they really exist.
We live in a time of giants. Whether they exist or not.
There are giants on every side: In our personal and professional relationships, in our communities, our economies, our media, our political systems, and in public office.
And also in our hearts and deep inside our instinctive lives – giants live.
We’ve been facing giants together and on our own for thousands of years.
We write about it, and pass the stories on from generation to generation.
And a generation or two ago, all the psychoanalytic theorists and practitioners, living through the aftermath of the Holocaust told their own stories of facing dangerous giants – in the world and in themselves, wrestling with the cowardice and the heroisms they had each shown and seen in the face of a great and insidious horror.
I can tell you stories which say if you meet evil you must fight it, but there are just as many which say you must run away and not try and fight it. Some say to suffer without hitting back; others say don’t be a fool, hit back!
Our era has its own giants to battle and it seems to me to be a time to take a account of wisdoms generated by our ancestral struggles and successes against such destructive creatures.
Giants are half-human creatures, larger than life, who obscure the sun and cast a cold shadow over the land. Giants crush and devour tiny mortals, sniff human meat out of its hiding places, and use their victim’s bones to pick their teeth.
Yet, for thousands of years, we’ve recorded – in great detail – in scripture, myth and in fairy tale, the various methods we’ve employed to bring them down.
Generations of giant-wrestlers offer us their legacy as an inheritance.
There are tactics to avoid, but if you are wise and listen closely, you will see that there are a hundred ways to subdue a giant. And when we are clever, brave and thoughtful, when we pay careful attention?
Hercules learned, when assisting the God’s of Olympus in their battle against the giants – that giants can never be defeated on their own turf, and if they are brought down on their own terrain, they must be dragged from their land in order to be destroyed.
Giants cannot be defeated on their own ground.
A celebrated exploit of Hercules was his victory over Antaeus. Antaeus, the son of Terra, the Earth, was a mighty giant and wrestler, whose strength was invincible so long as he remained in contact with his mother Earth.
He compelled all strangers who came to his country to wrestle with him, on condition that if conquered (as they all were) they should be put to death. Hercules encountered him, and finding that it was of no avail to throw him, for he always rose with renewed strength from every fall. ~ Bullfinch’s Mythology.
A giant’s skills cannot be used against him.
If you use the giant’s methods, he will only be strengthened.
If you try to take him down with brute force, he will rise again.
Hercules found his own solution, he raised Antaeus high up, lifting the giant’s feet from the ground, and strangled him in mid-air.
When David faced Goliath, it seemed he had learned or thing or two from Hercules.
David refused to dress himself in armor inauthentic to him.
He faced the giant in his own skin, no matter how exposed.
He would not match weapons with a giant.
He chose to protect himself and those he loved using only in the most natural, the most elemental artillery: five smooth stones, polished by a river – that fit perfectly into a leather sling.
David put his hand in his bag, took out a stone, slung it, and struck the Philistine on his forehead; the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell face down on the ground…There was no sword in David’s hand.
If our nighttime dreams gather up our unnoticed fears and hopes, intuitions and instincts in response to the challenges of our daily lives – then myth, scripture and fairy tale are our the records of our collective dreaming, the counterpoint of our collective consciousness.
I have my own questions: What function do these stories serve? Why do we tell, and retell and revel in stories of defeating dominating, slow, cruel aggressive giants? What are “giants” when you dig right down into it, and why have we had to devise and record so many different giant-killing methods? What messages might these tales transmit forward from generations past?
In her extensive life long studies of fairy tale – Marie Louise von Franz, as a student, translator, and later a collaborator of Carl Jung’s – sought out the warnings and the wisdom embedded in simple folk tales of daring, magic and adventure.
Giants, she explains, emerge in creation myths all over the world, – and were “abortive, not very successful” attempts to produce human beings. They are lumbering, their thoughts move slowly, and they are irritable and reactive. They are also perniciously unaware, or unconcerned by the destructive impact that have on the earth, and on those of us who inhabit it with them.
Jung himself, sees our interactions with giant as imagery that depicts what happens when we are possessed by archetypal instinct. We can be swept up in energies which may destroy or devour us – or swell and inflate us, transforming us into monsters ourselves.
Perhaps we tell stories of battling and subduing giants as a means of gaining control over our inner storms and tempests: our uncontrollable, illogical, thick-headed, reactive, and irritable emotional lives.
He wasn’t the brightest boy, he traded the family cow for a handful of magic beans after all. And we all remember what happened overnight after his mother tossed them out the window.
Jack, of course, climbs the beanstalk that reaches high up to the giant’s kingdom. His knock on the castle door is answered by a tall woman, the giant’s wife, who quickly takes pity on him and hides Jack in the oven (perhaps he set off on this adventure only half-baked, needed some more time to rise to the occasion).
Fe Fi Fo Fum! I smell the blood of an Englishman!
Be he alive or be he dead I’ll grind his bones to make my bread!
Jack’s giant may be brutal and dim-witted, but he lives close to his raw instincts. He can smell Jack’s humanity, or perhaps he just smells Jack’s fear. Mrs. Giant has a cover story ready: “It’s only some bones that the raven’s have dropped down the chimney” she says.
When the giant falls asleep – Jack is able to get away with a sack of gold. And here we see that the giant is easily confounded by his bride, as the same human odor is easily explained away when Jack returns twice more to steal the hen that lays golden eggs, and the magic golden harp that plays the sweetest music in the world.
Jack seems to have learned from Hercules and David experiences: He does not attempt to battle the giant on his own land, but relies on hiding, observation and stealth in order to lay claim to the giant’s wishes.
And when the enraged giant impulsively follows Jack down the beanstalk, Jack doesn’t engage (or inadvertently empower) the giant directly in any way. He does not attempt to respond to dominance by attempting to dominate in return, nor does he use the giant’s weapons. He doesn’t even attack the giant – Jack simply cuts off the structures that support him. With a stroke of an axe, Jack made sure the giant lost all footing and came crashing down to earth.
You can’t “out-rage” a giant.
You will only strengthen him if you do.
It turns out that ravens like to drop their bones down the Devil’s chimney too.
In Grimm’s The Devil With Three Golden Hairs, a duplicitous King send a brave and fortunate boy on an deadly quest: to return from Hell with three golden hairs from the Devil’s head.
On the road to hell, the brave boy passes through two villages who ask him for help with their communal troubles: a magic fountain has run dry, a golden apple tree no longer bears fruit. He also meets a ferryman doomed to never stop rowing who asks to be freed from his dilemma.
He may not have the answers at top of mind, but he trusts that if he is courageous and patient, the answers will come.
As he approaches the Devil’s house, the Devil’s Grandmother decides to protect and assist him – transforming the boy into a tiny ant, and hiding him in the hem of her skirt.
“Who can help bad dreams?” she says.
The Devil asks about her dreams – she tells him she dreamed of a town whose magic fountain has gone dry, a village whose golden apple tree is dying, and of a sad ferryman who must row forever. The Devil tells her he has blocked up the fountain with a toad, he has set a mouse gnawing on the tree’s tap root, and that the ferryman has only to hand his oars to an unwitting passenger to be released from the Devil’s curse.
The brave boy leaves the gates of hell behind him, releases the villages from their dilemmas, and tricks the cruel King into accepting the ferryman’s oars.
Perhaps is he ferrying still? If he is, it is because no one has taken the oars from him.
Here our hero is trapped between two evils, a lying mortal king and the Devil himself. He doesn’t enter into any combat with these forces at all, but in the end, undoes them both by setting them against each other. He has no tools. No tricks, no arms, no armor, no axe. Not even five smooth stones.
He is confident, that if everyone can be patient, he will eventually find the answers that will liberate others from their suffering and fulfill his own quest.
He relies upon grand Mother Nature to protect and guide him.
He is willing to become small and still.
He takes care to remember.
He will not be distracted from his purpose.
Holding back to assess the circumstances rather than going off half-baked, is necessary in order to assess what kind of evil we are encountering, what its motives, strengths, and vulnerabilities might be. We need to first understand what kind of giant we are facing before we can develop a strategy to survive it, or defeat it. It is necessary to spend some time hiding in the oven, under the bed, or in the folds of a skirt in order to determine what kind of evil we are up against.
Hot evil – is passionate, reactive, irritable, explosive, angry, volatile. But it is also more easily confined, restrained. Its fire flares and recedes. The raging giant spends himself and falls asleep at predictable intervals. Our heroes have, so far, encountered irritable giants with hot tempers, and fiery emotions.
A king sends six of his seven sons out to search for brides. On their return journey a giant turns them all, six princes and six princesses, into stone. The youngest, seventh son sets out, upon an old, slow horse, to rescue his brothers and their wives.
Along the way he meets a starving raven and shares his food.
He meets a salmon, trapped in dry mud, gasping for air, and returns him to the water.
He meets an emaciated wolf, who offers to carry the prince on his own back, if only he might eat the prince’s old horse. The prince gives the wolf his horse and the wolf becomes very strong, and the prince is able to harness him and rides him to the giant’s court. The wolf shows the prince a secret door, and there he meets a young princess, who agrees to help him conquer the giant and save his siblings.
She tells the prince to hid under her bed, to keep still, to listen carefully.
Like the Devil, and like Jack’s giant, the giant without a heart detects the smell of humanity – each time he returns to the room: And as before, the princess deflects and blames the birds for dropping bones down the chimney.
He tells her it is buried under the threshold, hidden in cupboard. She and the prince search in those spots, and leave a wreath of flowers when they cannot find it.
An infertile heart, unhatched, unborn.
The wolf carries the prince to the island. They summon the raven to help them find the key to door in the church wall. The duck releases its egg, which sinks to the bottom of the well only to be retrieved by the salmon.
“Squeeze the egg!” he directs the prince. The giant buckles in pain and begs for his life. “Tell him,” the wolf says, “to turn your brothers and their wives back into human beings.” The giant does this, and pleads to be spared.
The princess, the prince, his brothers and their wives return to their father’s kingdom and had a great feast, with the youngest son honored with a seat at the head of the table.
Humans are warm-blooded passionate creatures, and we have some begrudging ability to identify with big, hot-headed fire-giants. We can succumb to our impulses and our tempers too, and hot evils, crimes of passion, are easy enough for us to understand and identify in ourselves.
But cold evil, when we meet it on this earth, can paralyze us with horror. We are shocked, and flabbergasted by its cold-bloodedness. We see that it is devoid of empathy, that it is merciless, unfeeling. And a common response to exposure to icy dehumanizing evil, is to feel frozen and objectified. As though we have been transformed into statutes of stone.
And we see that it is a far more complicated process, when facing a cold evil, to “get to the heart” of the matter, it takes many more allies, and it requires a longer “journey” to get to the core.
And only if we have the giant’s heart in our hands – when we have brought the heartless giant to his knees – we may see a shred of his half-humanity: He pleads for his life. We may identify with his terror momentarily. But if we are in the presence of a sociopathic evil – these are likely crocodile tears – shed only for the self, and not tears or repentance or regret. If we have not assessed the circumstances accurately, we may hesitate, entangled in a misplaced compassion.
And our young hero doesn’t make this determination himself, to destroy the giants infertile heart. The animals he has forged an alliance with carry him through to restoration. It is as some parts of our young prince, his complex moral reasoning is stunned and frozen – turned into stone as well – and other instinctive animal energies must see him through.
Ravens carry messages from the heavens down to humanity. Salmon carry intuitive knowledge up from the water unconscious to the surface.
We cannot take necessary action in the face of evil with out harnessing the wolf and all that it represents. We cannot make such decisions with our simple, young, idealistic humanity. We must know when to allow our response to be directed by a well harnessed, primal, animal instinct.
So many fairy tales warn us of the danger and destructiveness of unrestrained wolfishness. And we’ve learned to beware wolves when we are carrying goodies through a dark forest. But it is important to recall that according to Red Riding Hood, and the Three Little Pigs wolves who are not reigned in, will die by their own greed and destructiveness.
But once we have forged an alliance and reigned in our own destructive impulse, we can see that it serves a natural, essential purpose, necessary to maintain the collective balance.
Sociopathy summons sociopathy. Encounters with giants will activate our inner wolves.
To look upon evil is to become infected by it.
And we can feel our hunger for justice, our desire to dominate and destroy, a killing rage rise up inside of us.
And there are times when must repress it.
And circumstances where we must bide our time.
And there are crucial moments, where we must summon our own capacity for destructiveness, harness it, focus, and use to it cut off an overwhelming force of unrepentant evil.
There are tales of mighty saints who were able to harness the powers of the greatest giants, taming and training them to building enormous cathedrals.
These are not simple tales of good versus evil. Wives and grandmothers betray their partners. Giants are undone by thieves and tricksters who would steal their treasures and the very hairs off their head. Wolves remind us that idealistic compassion is not always simple, not always wise.
These are tales which show us that evil is a universal condition, present in each and every heart.
We may either harness it and use it wisely, or we may succumb to it.
Or worse, we could become giant.
The only way to defeat a giant is to use one’s wit, to be wiser, cleverer, more intuitive.
Those who know their own evil well and intimately, who have an alliance with it, who have harnessed their destructive capacities – hold the advantage over those who are merely possessed and driven by the desire for dominance.
I have one more story to tell you.
It is the story of The Valiant Tailor, retold from the Brother’s Grimm.
He quickly encountered a tribe of irritable giants who challenged him to a contest of strength, which the tailor wisely side-stepped with clever sleight of hand. He was able to squeeze “water from a stone” by replacing the stone with a round of cheese, and tossed another “stone” (in actuality a small bird) so high into the air that it never returned to the ground. These wondrous feats coupled with the emphatic message on his waistband, convinced the dull-minded giants that the tailor was a fearsome enemy.
The cleverest ones may avoid engaging in false moral binaries all together, they side-step displays of dominance, and seek out a safe perch above and outside of the action. They may rely on the nature of giants, and Nature Herself to take care of the problem and correct those who have embraced and who exploit psychological imbalance.
Nature abhors a vacuum, but that is not all it abhors, like a pendulum, like the weather itself, Nature compensates and corrects any imbalance, overgrowth or inflation it detects.
There is not one story.
We all have our own giants to face, and we will each have to face them in our own way.
Don’t fight them on their own ground.
They will be strengthened by your aggression.
Don’t use methods that are not natural to you.
Women know. They live with this every day. They know how to operate safely behind enemy lines.
Don’t let the monster eat you alive.
Wait until your foe falls into unconsciousness. Giants always do.
Knock the supports out from under them.
Be confident that the answers will come.
Trust Mother Nature to do her work.
Don’t forget those who have been turned to stone. They may be released.
Always listen to the helpful animal.
Know your enemy. Evil is infectious.
You cannot out-rage a giant.
Harness your wolf. But trust him and let him loose if you have to.
Celebrate your small victories and let them strengthen you for larger ones.
Know yourself. Be brave. Be clever. Be simple.
Here and in the What a Shrink Thinks essays – I write a great deal about myths and archetypal themes, and I primarily (although not exclusively) draw on the myths and scriptures, fairy and folktales that were fed to me as my first cultural language: the Old and New Testament, The Brother’s Grimm, the Greek Gods. But I do not return to these stories over and over again because they are the only stories, or the most useful stories, or because they are inherently “universally applicable” stories (although I do believe there are likely universalizing psychological themes, “primordial images” that inform all humanity – just as we generally have the same essential organs in our bodies) But our relationship to these “organic images” varies dramatically from culture to culture, and the mythologies and values that cultures organize themselves around are often dramatically different.
I don’t tell the mythological stories that I tell because they are the best ones, or the preferred ones. I use the myths that I do because they are my myths, and because I am most equipped to understand their nuances as the culture that I was raised in organized itself around these stories.
Reading myths from other nations, other cultures are often illuminating – and can offer new ways of perceiving and differing values that Euro-American psychotherapeutic culture omits, or minimizes or represses. But, I don’t tell those tales as easily. They are not mine to interpret. I am not sure what cultural realities have risen from their foundations, and I cannot always know if the themes that I take note of, are perceived accurately by me, as I have not been raised in Russian, or Ethiopian, or Japanese culture. It is unlikely that I will understand all of its implications – and although I do make a point of surveying world mythologies, I am concerned about co-opting and distorting the archetypal themes to fit a “Western” point of view.
An example of this kind of co-option is the archetypal tales from China about the Red Thread of Fate.
That being said: the Chinese tales about the red threads focus on the fateful connections between husbands and wives in a historical era of arranged marriages. From my limited and translated exposures to these tales, this is not considered a good or a happy outcome, but merely an inevitable one. No matter how you may feel about your potential marital partner, whether they hurt you or adore you, your fate is tied to theirs, neutral, and inevitable. The stories appear to me and others, to help people to face their martial fates, good, bad or indifferent, with some acceptance.
In the US, the community of Chinese adoptive parents saw in the myth, an archetypal image that resonated with them: A red thread that connects family members to each other – that means that no matter what – you were destined to “find” each other and to belong together. The archetypal image was dislodged from its cultural context: and new meaning was reassigned to it: We were “meant to be” your parents, it was certain we would find you, the red thread confirms that our family is the “right” one and that this is the life that you were supposed to live.
The universal archetypal image, of fateful “strings” is stripped away from of the Chinese origins and cultural context of The Red String, and now tells a very different story – one that serves a different cultural function of validating and enfranchising non-biological family as a source of “belonging” equivalent to families made by birth.
So, I want to be clear that I use the stories I do, because I feel they are the ones I have a better chance of understanding because of my acculturation. And I am always cautious about making any “confident” interpretation of a mythology from another culture.
This is important to keep in mind as therapists for lots of reasons: Many of us are going to be working cross-culturally, with clients who are first or second or third generation immigrants to our nation, who may draw on cultural reference points, and myths and values and beliefs that are very different from the practitioners. And we need to be careful both about 1) assuming a common underlying mythos that may not be present, and 2) imposing a set of culturally specific values that we may naively imagine are universal.
Guggenbühl-Craig writes in his various books, for example, about the myths of equality, the myths of progress, the myths of marriage, the myths of helping professions, the myths of independence, the myths of creativity, the myths of old age. We might also speak of the myths of adoption, the myth of decline and the good old days, (MAGA), the myth of freedom, the myth of the pursuit of happiness.
If we look at American notions of equality for example, you will find that almost every single American, even the most extreme, assert that equality is a primary value that they hold and pursue in some form. They may experience themselves as the oppressed party who has been denied equality, or they may fight for the equality of others who they see as being treated unequally. But of course there are hundreds of thousands of ways that American culture does not actualize these values – there is profound income inequality, those who fight for their civil rights are sometimes perceived as having gained “special rights” that have some how made them “more equal.” Even to speak of communities that have access to “more equality” or “less equality” than others makes no sense.
And of course there are ways in which we are certainly not equal – some have greater skills and some less, some are smarter, some have more challenges than others, or more deficits in some area. We don’t all run as fast or finish the test at the same time. And even without institutional biases and oppressions which work against whole groups and races of people- fate and fortune still do not distribute themselves equally – some will be granted more or less opportunity, some have more or less luck. Some of us pass through massive clusters of unfathomable and cascading ill fortune while the sun never stops shining on our neighbor’s home.
But no matter our behavior or our fates – there is generally an organizing American myth of equality that all of us speak of and feel strongly about.
Different nations, cultures and cultural groups often have differing organizing values. For some cultures, respecting social and generational hierarchy is a far more salient organizing myth and assumed “equality” would be rude or even blasphemous. For some cultures “personal happiness” is not only not a central cultural value, some cultures don’t even have words for such an experience as “happiness” is defined as by the over all quality of well-being for the group or the family unit. So, imagine the capacity for destructiveness and harm when “Western” trained “mental health” practitioners who have been inculcated in the psychotherapeutic myth (for that is a myth too) begin imposing their national mythical beliefs in equality, autonomy, and happiness on to cultures who do not value those mythical constructs or who interpret them very differently.
Cross cultural work can be liberating at powerful for both participants as long as both participants’ cultural mythological schemas (including the myths of dominance and supremacy) are up for explicit examination and both participants mythologies are respected. If we consider that all of our cultural and national myths are only partial truths, then cross-cultural work has the possibility of bringing both participants a fuller picture of the world.
I have found such work to be the most illuminating therapeutic relationships of my lifetime – but only when the dynamic is one where the client is always allowed to be skeptical of how my “American-ness” or my “white-ness” or both skews my perceptions, and I am simultaneously both “aware enough” of our basic cultural differences – and also always willing to return to a state of “beginners mind” where I am receptive to being taught about what I do not know, and also to acknowledge what I can never really understand.
I wrote this essay a long time ago about being a non-adopted person who is often immersed and surrounded by adoptee culture and mythologies that I can and have learned a good deal about, but that I can never entirely understand.
So every “group” and sub group and family and region and ethnic community and nation has myths about themselves and about others – and sometimes we can find ourselves working in a defacto “cross-cultural” relationship with clients born in the exact same local and era as our own.
Psychoanalysis itself is its own mythology, and there are a variety of different mythic beliefs that we now call schools of thought: The Freudian myth, the Object-Relational Myth, the CBT myth. The disease model is its own myth, as is the myth of development. We like to imagine there are clear, universal developmental stages, and sometimes we do see children and adults move through stages of apparent and “expectable” development – but just because sometimes people live out myths and are loyal to them doesn’t mean they are unilaterally true or necessary.
In psychotherapy, there are great dangers in trying to identify “universal themes” among and between peoples and groups – and in cross cultural work– in part because it has too often been the case that this universalization has merely been the imposition of a white European/American psychological myth.
And in large part: the primary white Euro/American psychological myth as it is practiced today– is one of individualism and personal pathology.
Watkins and Shulman and others, speculate that the horrors of World War II, and the immigration processes of many psychoanalysts caused many of them to “tone down” their more radical social justice resumes in order to negotiate naturalization processes. For those that found themselves living in the US, McCarthyism would drive such ideological affiliations even further underground. As the various psychoanalytic schools and institutes vied for prestige and for legitimacy and began to advocate for the full medicalization of the profession and the elimination of “lay analysts” – now reserved for doctors and those with graduate degrees only. Thus the medical model with its focus on individual symptoms, financial model of reimbursement, and disease model became so entrenched it was as if the psychoanalytic community had never seen social justice as part of its purview – and its theories and technologies became exclusively focused on individual treatment.
But this is what Guggenbühl-Craig would call an “incomplete myth.” In the archetypal psychologies, all archetypes have a “positive” and “negative” aspect – “light and shadow” – and any myth which divorces itself from its shadow aspect has the capacity to become destructive, even dangerous, in its attempts to eradicate the aspects of the complete myth that it most fears. The myth of equality is only a complete myth if it includes a legitimate exploration of the ways that some fates and fortunes and happinesses will always be distributed in ways that are inherently unequal. Some will live long lives. Some will die young. The myth of equality cannot truly eradicate all inequalities, all unfairnesses.
In order to make sense of these inherent unfairnesses of living – we create a new myth, the myth of superiority. Those who have had fortune are elites and deserving of it. Those who have misfortune are ne’re-do-wells who got what they deserved as well.
All myths and stories that express how I or my group is superior to others express something which takes place in my soul. What is pernicious about that? I believe mythologies of chauvinism and racism lack something: they are one-sided myths… For a mythology of group affiliation to be complete, it must include superiority and inferiority.
Of course early depth psychologists and psychoanalysts were particularly cognizant of the destructive myth of superiority, having witnessed many of their colleagues and cohort annihilated by the holocaust.
The larger point here is that as therapists we must remember that our clients are embedded in a sociopolitical matrix, and it may require as much intervention in the social environment to alleviate the stressors that plague them as labors toward helping the client summon their resilience.
And sometimes, when we cannot intervene ourselves in the environment that surrounds the client – we must at least help them locate the source of their problem, whenever it is possible and accurate to do so – outside of themselves.
I have a client who spoke about their “Trump-adjusted mood” (credit to podcaster Ana Marie Cox) – meaning that their baseline has shifted downward as a result of the socio-political anxieties of the time. What would have felt as “very anxious” before is now “okay, considering.” Of course the client wasn’t familiar with Axis 4 diagnostic critera – but there are massive environmental stressors impacting everyone in some way right now. The world has become a precarious and a paranoid one – and even if we are powerless to block the injustices that are crashing down around us like a giant’s footsteps – we can at least take as much pathology as possible off of the individual psyches that are sitting in the room with us.
I say all this to make clear that when we speak of the shadow there is a personal individual aspect and also a collective aspect, the group shadow. The latter naturally would in some be the sum of the shadows.. ~ Marie-Louise von Franz, Shadow and Evil in Fairy Tales.
I think, that this is in large part why I, trained as a social worker, was more drawn to Jung’s theories over other psychotherapeutic models: Because it is transpersonal, systemic, about how we live, what we have in common, and what we don’t, as a species. And about what our responsibilities are with regard to enabling or individuating from our cultural and national myths.
Nevertheless, a purely personalistic psychology, by reducing everything to personal causes, tries its level best to deny the existence of archetypal motifs and even seeks to destroy them by personal analysis. I consider this a rather dangerous procedure which cannot be justified medically… Can we not see how a whole nation is reviving an archaic symbol, yes even archaic religious forms, and how this mass emotion is influencing and revolutionizing the life of the individual in a catastrophic manner?
Jung, of course, wrote that passage referring to the rise of Nazism in Germany. But this too is an era that is revolutionizing the life of the individual in a catastrophic manner.
What does this look like in session with an individual? It means that when a client is claiming too much of the collective shadow, as von Franz said, that we must remind them that their assessment of the severity of their mood must be “adjusted” to factor in the anxieties of this unstable era. It means that we don’t let our clients take more than their share of the collective shadow.
It means that when a client is talking about how their work weighs them down, feeling worried or depressed or anxious all the time, we remind them that yes, they may be stressed because of their divorce, or and their work, and its true that if they could face the bills they have been avoiding they might feel better – but how do they think that the news and the uncertainty in the larger world may be impacting them? We remind them that many people are feeling triggered and anxious as the #Metoo movement changes the ground under their feet, that many are worried about the possibility of looming war. That the cause of their distress is not exclusively personal, it is collective. It is our national shadow casting its chill. We help them to individuate, to separate from the myth that has gripped our country: a myth of xenophobia, a myth of dominance, a myth of paranoia and a myth of superiority and power. We ask how they are feeling about the Muslim ban, if they know anyone who is impacted by the challenges to the DREAM act l, how they feel about the stories that they are hearing, and the ways their own lives may be transformed as norms and expectations and entitlements are threatened and eradicated.
The purpose is to pinpoint all shades and polarities of a particular myth of ideology, individually and collectively. ~ Guggenbühl-Craig, The Old Fool and the Corruption of Myth.
I wrote here about working to include ecopsychological-minded interventions into my practices, and the work introducing of liberation psychology into psychotherapeutic work is not so different: we simply ask about the things that the myth of personalized psychotherapy leaves out: We broaden our focus, we ask about how clients are feeling about the world and the social political natural historical environment they are embedded in.
Who does the myth serve?
Who has it left out?
What might lie beyond this myth?
And we remind ourselves that psychotherapy was, at its inception, a myth that included radical practice, a practice that was inexorably connected to social justice. We find the causes and the realms of social action that we feel called to outside of the office, and we help our clients to see that a portion of their pain, maybe even a very significant portion, is generated by the environment, and we help them find the wherewithal to engage in constructive action to make their myth more complete, and the world more just.

Transcontinental countries, mountains, and rivers are part of the physical border between Asia and Europe. However, political factors also play a part in its definition.
Europe and Asia are sometimes referred to a single continent of Eurasia.
Boundaries between continents are somewhat a matter of geographical convention. The number of continents that the Earth is considered to have can range between six or seven, although the count can go as low as four when Afro-Eurasia and Americas are combined as continents. There are only three overland boundaries in existence. These boundaries include the ones between Asia and Europe, between Africa and Asia, and between North and South America.
The boundary between Europe and Asia exists on paper. However, there is no significant physical distinction between the two continents. The boundary between the two continents is just merely a historical and cultural construct. The boundary between Asia and Europe is often defined to follow the Aegean Sea, the Caspian Sea, the Turkish Strait, the Black Sea, the Greater Caucasus, and the Ural River and Mountains. However, controversies exist over the exact boundary. As no water separates the two continents, they both exist on the same land mass. The division of the two continents is purely cultural and tends to be biased towards the European side. The modern definition of the Eurasian boundary places some countries into both continents while others entirely in one continent. These transcontinental countries include Turkey, Russia, Kazakhstan, Georgia, and Azerbaijan.
Does The Europe-Asia Boundary Exist?
The border between Europe and Asia as it exists today was first defined by Philip Johan Von Strahlenberg, an explorer and a Swedish Army officer. His border followed the chains of the Ural Mountains; Emba River to the north coast of the Caspian Sea, and the Kuma-Manych Depression which exists on the Black Sea. The depression is a name of two rivers which lie on the northern part of the Caucasus Mountains and are currently considered to be the exact boundary. The eastern boundary between the two countries cut Russia into two, the European side of Russia and the Asian part. There is a significant uneven distribution of people between the two portions of the country with the European portion being home to over 75% of the population.
The Ural Mountain watershed forms a natural boundary separating the two continents. The Mountain range averages 3,000 to 4,000 feet above the sea level. The highest peak, Mount Narodnaya, measures 6,214 feet. From the Ural Sea, the boundary follows the unnavigable Ural River which ends and empties into the Caspian Sea. However, the segment covered by the Ural River is yet to be determined. The Caspian Sea forms the next major segment of the boundary. The sea is 746 miles long and 270 miles wide making it a large completely enclosed water body. The border demarcations are not universally definitive and vary from one source to another. Some geographers place the country of Georgia entirely in Europe while others classify it as a transcontinental country which spans both Asia and Europe. Cyprus is also placed in Asia by some geographers although the country is often accepted as being included in the modern definition of Europe. According to the EU’s geographic requirement, the definition of Europe is culturally and geographically intertwined and therefore is subject to political discretion.
How Did The Two Continents Come To Be?
The original continental separation was invented by ancient Greek Mariners who named the continents as Europe and Asia. The two masses of land were separated by a complex waterway flowing from the Aegean Sea to the Sea of Azov. However, the Greeks viewed the continent as physical entities with minimal cultural significance or political content. The threefold system by Herodotus divided the old world into three: Europe, Africa, and Asia. However, the Europe-Asia boundary remained unusual even among the Greek geographers and even Herodotus. The boundary between Asia and Europe was placed along the Phasis River by Anaximandar. The convention was also followed by the Herodotus in the 5th BC. However, a new convention emerged in the following centuries drawing the continental boundaries along the Tanais or the modern Don River. From the Middle Age through to the 18th century, the traditional division of the Eurasia into two continents followed Ptolemy with boundaries following along the Turkish Strait, the Black Sea, the Azov Sea, and the Don. However, in 1725, Philip Johan Von Strahlenberg departed from the Don boundary by drawing a boundary line along the Volga through Samara Bend and along the Ural Mountains.
By the mid-19th century, three main conventions had emerged. One was drawn along the Volga-Don Canal, the second following the Kuma-Manych Depression to Ural River while the third convention follows the Greater Caucasus Watershed to the Caspian Sea. The second convention, the boundary line following the Kuma-Manych Depression to the Caspian Sea, is the most popular convention today. Soviet geographers recommended that the boundary between the two continents be drawn in textbooks from Baydaratskaya Bay, along the eastern foot of the Ural Mountains. The Soviet definition of the boundary placed the Caucasus entirely in Asia while the Urals are entirely in Europe. Further, most Soviet Geographers preferred the boundary along the Caucasus Crest.
Confusion surrounding the definition of the two continents leads to more geographers identifying six continents only, by merging Europe and Asia to form Eurasia. The splitting of Eurasia into Europe and Asia based on the true definition of a continent is now put on record. The separation of Europe from Asia was the effort of European geographers and scholars who sought to separate their region of the world. In fact, some readers find is difficult to accept the land mass forming Europe and Asia as separate continents in any context other than the study of the 20th-century history. In Europe and Asia, the historical boundaries trump the conventional continental criteria.

Chestnut crepes filled with sweet ricotta.
They can be tricky to open but chestnuts reward the determined.
Chestnuts look intimidating. As they fall from the tree, the nuts are encased in prickly, porcupine-like husks. Part of this husk is open – a sign that the nut is ripe and ready – and if it falls a certain way it resembles a round, green face with a huge grin.
These days there are machines that release the nuts from the husks but once upon a time they were prised open by hand, using thick gloves. The shiny brown nut inside is heart-shaped, with a small ”beard” at the tip. This is the chestnut that appears in the shops. Getting it out of its thick, mahogany skin and fine pellicle is the key.
The most common way to prepare chestnuts is to roast them. Make a cross on the flat side of each nut with the point of a sharp knife. This will release steam as they cook, avoiding explosions.
Place the cut nuts under a moderately hot grill for about 10-15 minutes, depending on their size. Parts of their skin will char. This is normal.
When ready, take the nuts out and place in a clean tea towel. Wrap them up for five minutes then give them a little squeeze. Unwrap and remove both the outer shell and the pellicle, then eat or use in recipes.
This is a dish from Balla head chef Gabriele Taddeucci’s family. Known as necci, these crepes are native to north-western Tuscany. This is the simple version but they can be enhanced with pieces of roast chestnut mixed through the ricotta filling or even with some chopped dark or milk chocolate.
Sift chestnut flour through fine sieve. Beat eggs in a bowl and add sifted flour and salt. Work until there are no lumps left. Beat in olive oil. Slowly add water in a stream and mix until batter is smooth and runny. Refrigerate mix for at least an hour. Mix together ricotta and icing sugar. Refrigerate until required. Heat a 22-25cm non-stick pan. There is no need to add oil or butter if pan is non-stick. Ladle enough batter for 1 crepe into hot pan. Once it starts to bubble through, flip crepe gently to cook other side. Repeat until all batter is used. They can be refrigerated for a few days then heated in microwave before serving. To serve, cut each crepe in half. Place a few spoonfuls of ricotta mix on each half and roll into a cone shape. Serve sprinkled with sugar.
If you’d prefer to make this soup meat-free, use water instead of chicken or veal broth.
Score chestnuts and place in a pot covered with cold water. Bring to the boil and reduce heat to a simmer for 5 minutes. Drain, cool chestnuts and remove skin and pellicle. Place peeled chestnuts in a pot with broth and leek and simmer gently for about an hour. Finish by mixing in butter and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and serve with freshly grated parmesan and toasted country-style bread.

(Radio.com) Pop star Demi Lovato kicked off her "Tell Me You Love Me" tour on Monday night (Feb. 26) in San Diego, where she hosted some very special guests.
In collaboration with the mental heath supporting CAST Foundation, the pop star invited five survivors--Julius Castillo, Mackenzie Marie Chapman, Samantha Megan Deitsch, Maia Hebron, Eden Hebron and Sarah Stricker--from the tragic Parkland shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School onstage.
Lovato spoke about how much she admires them for coming together as a community in a time of devastation. The audience had the opportunity to show support by texting donations to the CAST Foundation who will apply that money towards mental health resources for the students.
"Bringing CAST on Tour was very important to me because I want to be able to reach and inspire my fans. Tonight was our first night of the tour and it was incredibly special," Lovato said in a press release. Read more here.

This delicious gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free bread recipe was even a winner with my mum - who as much as she tries to resist, is totally nuts for bread (and just a little bit nuts full stop!).
There’s something about bread that usually sends people into a complete state of panic when it’s suggested that for whatever reason they cut it out of their diet. People are totally nuts for it. All too often patients of mine would say to me, “but if I can’t eat bread, what do I eat??!!”. At this point my inner hunter-gatherer would cry a little bit, then burst out with enthusiasm for all the delicious, whole-food, unrefined, nutrient-packed alternative meal options.
I do get it though - there is something about bread. The smell of a freshly baked loaf, the convenience of a couple of slices in the morning, the ease of grabbing a sandwich at lunch, and seriously – what do you dip into your dippy eggs?
So for those seeking a healthy, gluten-free alternative that packs a punch on the taste front, read on and enjoy. I love this with slices of avocado and generous sprinkling of salt and pepper but it’s really great any which way!
In a medium bowl, mix almond flour, arrowroot, flax meal, salt and baking soda.
Bake at 170ºC (350ºF) for 30-35 minutes until skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Remove from loaf tin immediately, cool, serve and enjoy!
* I tend to throw in whatever nuts or seeds I have in the house into this recipe. Pistachios are super delicious in this but obviously a little more expensive than cashews, so dependant on how decadent you're feeling – you can adapt to your taste. Hazelnuts also work really beautifully in a combo with the walnuts!
** You can alternatively line with some greaseproof paper.
To keep this bread, I store it wrapped in cloth in the fridge – mainly because there’s something very Downton Abbey about unwrapping food in cloth. If however you’re more of a practical-mind than a hopeless romanticist like me, storing it once cooled, wrapped in a paper towel in a zip-lock bag in the fridge, will keep it for up to a week! I hope you enjoy.

There’s a vast range of fermented, or live-cultured, beverages, foods, and condiments found across the globe. Read on to know more about this culinary conundrum.
Writing about food in a country as diversely rich as ours isn’t easy. We boast of thousands of varieties of food and no one region is as under explored as the Northeast. One hasn’t even begun to scratch the surface of the distinct fare the Seven Sisters have to offer, but the one thing we can say with certainty is that all the states have a weakness for fermented items like khorisa (bamboo shoot), axone (fermented soya beans), kharoli (fermented mustard), and nari (fermented dried fish). It comes as little surprise then that the Naga tribes have up to 150 different types of fermented products!
The natural fermentation process was discovered ages ago, and the earliest evidence traces back to 7000 – 6600 BCE, when an alcoholic beverage was made from fruit, rice, and honey in the Neolithic Chinese village of Jiahu, China. There’s a vast range of fermented, or live-cultured, beverages, foods, and condiments found across the globe, so read on to know more about this culinary conundrum.
Most culinary cultures use bacteria to make food more amazing, because something magical happens when these two entities meet – we get fermentation. It works by converting carbohydrates to alcohol and carbon dioxide or organic acids using yeasts, bacteria or a combination thereof, under anaerobic conditions. Russians love their kefir – a yeast fermented thick milk, while the Chinese have their thousand-year egg – a nearly black, preserved egg. For Koreans, it’s kimchi – a pungent side dish of fermented cabbage, garlic, and peppers and the Colombians drink a fermented corn beverage called chicha. Germans like to add sauerkraut – sour cabbage – to their sausage and a staple food for Hawaiians is poi – fermented taro porridge. Of course the Japanese add the sticky and stinky fermented soybeans called natto on top of teir rice and in India, fermentation is everywhere from dosa to lassi, handia to tungtab, dhokla to jalebi and apongto haria.
When we eat fermented foods, we eat the beneficial bacteria or probiotics that these type of foods contain. This is essential because we need a diverse population of bacteria in our digestive system for optimal health. To name just a few of their functions, probiotics are responsible for improving digestion, enhancing immune function, producing antioxidants, normalising skin conditions, reducing cholesterol, and managing blood sugar levels.
Today, markets and restaurants are stocked more generously than ever with items like sauerkraut (fermented cabbage) or tofu (bean curd). Caleb from King Chilli restaurant in Mumbai says, “We have seen a sudden demand of fermented food like axone, anishsi and khorisa. Customers love the strong aroma of the dishes and we serve both vegetarian and non-vegetarian fermented delicacies. However, our fermented pork delicacies are must try”.
In Delhi, Rosang Café & Store not only serves fermented food but also sells a variety of authentic products from the Northeast. Mary, the owner tells us, “Fermented food may not sound attractive but it is very much helpful in fighting many diseases. I have many customers coming in from various parts of the country just to have traditional food items like baah-gos, khalpi, goyang etc. We also sell fermented pickles and vegetables, and we even parcel these abroad to countries like Japan, Korea and U.K”.
The bottom line is that fermented foods are amazing for your overall health. The larger the variety of fermented foods we can take the better since by eating them, we boost the number and variety of bacteria living in our guts, almost like taking probiotic supplements, except much less pricey and much more tasty. However, when purchasing these items, do make sure that they do not contain sugar, preservatives or food dyes, and most importantly, that they have not been pasteurised.
Curious about fermented food now?
A fan of the finer things in life. I’m eternally optimistic, an avid traveller, and addicted to desserts as well as books.

For Quality & Superior Craftsmanship look no further......We are so happy and thankful for our beautiful new dining table! Pictures can't show the real workmanship and beauty of our Monkeypod Table. We can't recommend Honolulu Furniture Company enough! Can't wait to get our chairs next!
Thorben is a true master at what he does. He built us the exact dining room table we envisioned. His knowledge, craftsmanship, and experience shined through in every interaction we had with him. His professionalism, promptness, and customer service was excellent. Finding someone like him who truly takes pride in what he does and truly loves what he does is rare. he is a local gem that we hope to work with again in the future!
Thorben is an artist. With minimal instruction for the design, but very precise dimensions, he crafted a rustic shelving unit, a solid barn table, and two separate benches customized to different lengths when butted against each other, form a beautiful, functional corner bench with the option of separating them should the need arise. We are extremely happy with our investment, the quality of work, the quick turn around time, the communication, and the overall experience. From an extremely satisfied customer (and his family), thank you sincerely.

This educational forum is intended for folks with little to no experience with FDA requirements for medical device manufacturers, specification developers, and initial distributors of imported devices. It is particularly useful to entrepreneurs, very small start-up companies, new hires, students planning a career in the medical device industry or enforcement, and administrative and marketing employees in medical device firms.
The Food and Drug Administration is responsible for regulating firms who manufacture, repackage, relabel, and/or import medical devices sold in the United States. Medical devices are classified into Class I, II, and III. Regulatory control increases from Class I to Class III. The device classification regulation defines the regulatory requirements for a general device type. Most Class I devices are exempt from Premarket Notification 510(k); most Class II devices require Premarket Notification 510(k); and most Class III devices require Premarket Approval.
Medical Devices 101 provides a brief overview of all of the above to folks new to the medical device industry.

If this active inn can be demolished for single family homes, then why not the Aurora? Kevin Chambers tells us that the Aurora has no historic significance and would not be missed if it came down. Maybe this is the best option for the town.
Yet the new owner supposedly wants four condos. It seems like the lawful best result would be to demolish and put up several Victorian houses. If Avon-by-the-Sea can do it, how about Ocean Grove-by-the- Sea?
And if you are going to exempt any category from RSIS, it should be single family houses so that it would be legal not to require off street parking for them.
What will the Township do when the variance requests appear? Will it be the same old song and dance?
I remember the Norwood Inn from years ago when our family summered in Avon by the Sea. The Inn–advertised as an American Restaurant Dance & Night Club Bar–used 618 second Avenue in Avon as its address. The building was on the corner of Second Ave. and Norwood Avenue, hence the Norwood name.
The Norwood Inn in Avon was a building with as much or more style, with original fabric, than the Aurora.
When the new Avon houses are built they will probably have as much original elements as the Aurora will have once it is rehabbed. Meaning none.
Avon clearly has a planning firm that follows the law and attorneys that follow the law and zoning that is in conformity with the law. All three things that Neptune does not have.

Concrete Stains have grown to be the brand new material preferred by commercial and residential spaces. They're appearing everywhere in stores, restaurants, offices, and commercial outlets with plenty of choices for interior rooms including unlimited design, colors and health advantages. With respect to the color and also the applications utilized in staining concrete floors, the outcomes can emulate from lustrous marble polishing to tanned lather to gemstone. For more information on metallic epoxy, visit our website today!
There's two groups of concrete stains- reactive and nonreactive. Within the first reactive category are water-based acidic solutions that contains metallic salts that interact with the lime content in concrete. When the chemical reaction happens, staining concrete floors fix a lasting bond using the concrete and will not peel away.
Within the second group of concrete stains are water-based acrylic stains that do not depend on the chemical response to impart color. Rather, they're devised to enter the concrete surface and deposit their particles on view pores. Non reactive stains have more and more gain popularity in the last couple of years because they are available in a lot of colours and therefore are simpler to use. However, they may not make the same translucent color tones sign of acidity stains. The colour effects are usually uniform.
On the new concrete, stain concrete floors manufacturers advise letting the concrete cure not less than per month. On existing concrete, it's to bear in mind that stains should enhance instead of disguise the top. They'll uncover cracks, blemishes, discoloration, or any other flaws in concrete. Hence, a vintage or rustic concrete, or perhaps a concrete with major cracks isn't suitable for staining because any patchwork will probably show right through the stain. The mantra would be to cover the present concrete having a thin cement-based overlay to produce a brand new picture to operate on. Want to know more about polished concrete? Visit our website today for more information.
When looking for the price of stained concrete with alternative flooring choices, be sure to element in endurance, beauty and staining concrete floors substitute costs. Correctly sealed and maintained stained concrete will long lasting and rarely needs substitute. It's invulnerable to water damage and mold, tearing, and gouging. Whether or not the stained surface wears after time, it may be introduced to life with a few edit staining and reapplication.

“In some studies, but not all, weight loss and exercise have both been shown to reduce hot flashes in women who are obese, thus giving women even more reason to create a healthier lifestyle for themselves,” Pinkerton said in a journal news release.
I don’t think the thermoregulatory theory is valid. It’s not the insulating effect of fat, but the metabolic effect that accounts for the increase in hot flashes.
As fat content in the fat cells increases, they produce inflammatory hormones that appear to have adverse effects on the endocrine system, increasing the risk of both cancer and heart disease.
Remember that central obesity (weight gain around the midline) is one aspect of metabolic syndrome. It really doesn’t matter which one shows up first because one begets another. An underactive thyroid results in weight gain which creates insulin resistance, hypertension, and high serum lipids. Rearrange these factors in any order you choose and the statement is still true.
We see the excess fat that deposits just under the skin. However, there are equal or even greater amounts of fat that encase our organs as well when we gain excess weight. Fatty infiltration of the liver is a common finding in obesity. It is also seen with other aspects of metabolic syndrome even if the patient is at ideal weight. My “thin” diabetes often have fatty livers.
This excess fat also encases the heart and the intima of blood vessels becoming major factors in coronary heart disease. Several new studies implicate these fat cell hormones in the deposition of fat in the blood vessel walls.
Obesity is a significant health risk and the symptoms become more obvious in menopause. Life-long habits of healthy eating and regular exercise can minimize or even eliminate the symptoms associated with menopause.

Left 4 Dead 2 is a cooperative first-person shooter video game developed and published by Valve Corporation. The sequel to Turtle Rock Studios's Left 4 Dead, the game released for Microsoft Windows and Xbox 360 in November 2009, and for OS X in October 2010, and for Linux in July 2013.
Left 4 Dead 2 builds upon cooperatively focused gameplay and Valve's proprietary Source engine, the same game engine used in the original Left 4 Dead. Set during the aftermath of an apocalyptic pandemic, Left 4 Dead 2 focuses on four new Survivors, fighting against hordes of zombies, known as the Infected, who develop severe psychosis and act extremely aggressive. The Survivors must fight their way through five campaigns, interspersed with safe houses that act as checkpoints, with the goal of escape at each campaign's finale. The gameplay is procedurally altered by the "AI Director 2.0", which monitors the players' performance and adjusts the scenario to provide a dynamic challenge. Other new features include new types of special infected and an arsenal of melee weapons.
The game made its world premiere at E3 2009 with a trailer during the Microsoft press event. Prior to release, it received a combination of positive and negative critical and community reactions. It attracted an unusually high volume of pre-release controversy about the game's graphic content. In response, alterations were made to the cover art and both Australia and Germany refused to rate the unmodified edition at the time of release. After release however, the game was met with positive reviews by critics.

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand faces questions over how she handled a sexual harassment case last year in her own office.
ALBANY, N.Y. – Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., faces questions over how she handled a sexual harassment complaint in her office last year, according to a report published Monday.
In July, a former female aide made complaints against a senior male staffer in Gillibrand's Washington office, Politico reported Monday. The female aide said the male staffer made unwelcome advances after he was promoted by the senator, Politico reported.
About three weeks after reporting the alleged harassment, the female aide resigned, saying she faced retaliation for raising concerns. Politico did not name her, citing her fears of retaliation and damage to her career.
Gillibrand is touring the country as she explores a run for president. She has made sexual harassment and abuse in the military, colleges and the workplace a top priority since she took office in 2009.
Gillibrand said in a statement that the case was properly handled.
Her office said that "at every step of the process," immediate action was taken in the case and that the allegations were investigated in consultation with the Senate employment counsel.
What did the review find?
The review found employee misconduct that, although inappropriate, did not meet the standard for sexual harassment.
"However, because the office did find unprofessional behavior that violated office policy, including derogatory comments, the office took strong disciplinary action against the employee in question, and he was given a final warning," spokeswoman Whitney Mitchell Brennan said in a statement.
Though the male aide, Abbas Malik, kept his job, Politico reported it found additional allegations of inappropriate workplace conduct.
Malik, one of Gillibrand's closest aides who is married, was fired after a new investigation, her office said.
“Recently, we learned of never-before-reported and deeply troubling comments allegedly made by this same individual," Brennan said. "The office immediately began another investigation and interviewed relevant witnesses, which has led to the office terminating the employee from staff last week."
More: Kirsten Gillibrand vowed to serve a full Senate term. Does it matter?
Gillibrand announced her presidential exploratory committee in January. She fought sexual harassment in Congress well before the #MeToo movement.
Gillibrand has toured Iowa, South Carolina and New Hampshire, hoping to distinguish herself in the crowded Democratic field. She has barely registered in the primary polls.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s release is still a few months away, but CD Projekt Red has released the official system requirements for the Windows PC version of the game. The system requirements were released via the game’s official website.
The game will require a minimum 6 GB of RAM in order to run along with a 64-bit Windows 7 or Windows 8 (8.1) operating system. The game will require 40 GB of hard disk drive space. Of course, the recommended RAM space is 8 GB.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will finally launch on May 19. The game will be available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC. The highly anticipated sequel was originally due out next month on February 24 before developer CD Projekt Red announced that the game had been delayed another three months, and the release date had been pushed back to May.
While the wait for the RPG will be longer, players across all platforms will have access to the free downloadable content program for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. At launch, CD Projekt Red will release two pieces of DLC: the Temerian Armor Set and the Beard and Hairstyle Set. Following the launch, CD Projekt Red will release a DLC bundle of two components every week for free. This includes story DLC content. Considering The Witcher 3 will offer over 100 hours of story content by itself, CD Projekt Red appears to be adding quite even more to the game later on.

When it comes to new products, manufacturers are always keen to give us even more than we had last time. Sometimes that's welcome, but there are times when it would be nice actually to get less. This is particularly evident in live sound, where the one thing we clearly get far too much of is cabling. Now, I know that wireless mains supplies for high-current devices are not a practical reality, but what about all that other unnecessary spaghetti we have to put up with? Take the simple case of guitar amplifiers — if you just want to plug in and play, that's great, but if you use a pedalboard with on-board power, you have to find a mains supply for that too. Then, if you want to use an effect such as delay or reverb, you have to put it in the effects loop of the amplifier, so that it comes after the preamp distortion has been introduced, and that means two more cables, plus any power supplies needed to feed those devices. Wouldn't it be nice if all the amp designers agreed on a standard in which a single multi-pin DIN could connect to your pedal board carrying pedal power, the input signal and the send and return signals? That way all your in-front and insert effects could be mounted on the same pedalboard and hooked up to the amplifier using a single cable. I know that one or two companies have come up with bespoke solutions along these lines, but come on, isn't it about time all amplifiers had such a feature as standard?
Then there are electronic drums. I love my electronic drum kit in the studio, but plugging and unplugging all those separate pad connection cables every time you take it out to a gig is a real bind. Instead of just giving us more obscure sounds with every new version, why not spend some of that R&D money on developing a quick-release drum-pad clamp that also incorporates the necessary electrical connectors?
Both on stage and in the studio, the thing I'd most like to see abolished is the consumer-style external power supply. Being a practical person, I can see why these are used, but how many pieces of ostensibly professional equipment have you seen rendered non-professional by the inclusion of a two-dollar power supply with a thin, flimsy cable terminating in a tiny plug that's just waiting to either get broken or pulled out of its socket? Even if you're careful and do neither of those things, the continual flexing of the cable next to the moulded plug often leads to the thing eventually going open-circuit. So come on guys, if we must have these miserable external power supplies for cost and regional compatibility reasons, please at least fit them with heavy-duty cable and terminate them with some kind of pro-grade locking connector, such as an XLR. If you don't, whatever is hanging off the end of them can't really be considered professional. Here endeth the whinge for this month!

June 4 “The Mystery of the Divine Through Art”: A Gallery Talk by Sylvia Johnson Everett whose art is currently on exhibit in our gallery. Using a variety of media and techniques, she creates alternative and contemporary religious imagery appropriate to the present time. She will talk about her art displayed in the gallery and will also talk about the transparent Pentecost banners hanging in the sanctuary beginning on June 4. She is an accomplished artist whose work is held in many collections and who has exhibited widely, both in the US and in Germany and South Africa.
The current crisis in South Sudan has created the worst refugee crisis in Africa right now. Nearly 2 million people have fled the country and another 2 million are internally displaced. The economy has collapsed and the death toll is beyond anyone's ability to calculate. This class will provide an update on the situation and look at the 10 stages of genocide. It will offer ways to counter the stages of genocide and show relevance for our own families, communities, and country when we find ourselves divided and struggling to build bridges across our differences.
There is a dramatic contrast between tribal or indigenous methods of conflict resolution and western methods. Bill Lowrey used tribal methods, when western methods had failed, to facilitate the end of a major tribal war in southern Sudan in 1999. He will draw lessons from such traditional methods and the wisdom of oral cultures that are relevant to our modern culture and need to be considered again in South Sudan if a genuine peace is to be restored. This is a case study of how the Christian church was able to work with African traditional religion and its leaders to find common ground for peace and reconciliation.
This class has application for those living through traumatized societies, as in South Sudan, and also for all of us as we face our own shocks and challenges in life. Bill and Alice have taught a course in Nurturing Resilience at the Master's level at Eastern Mennonite University in VA, in workshops in East Africa and Central Asia, and in adult education seminars in their previous church in Virginia. This class will provide a framework for personal resilience. Bill and Alice have particularly applied this to situations of high stress such as caregiving for Alzheimer's, family crises, either slow-onset or rapid onset trauma, and the normal losses that occur in all life journeys.
Class leaders: Bill Lowrey and Alice Petersen are both retired PCUSA clergy who have recently made Asheville and FPC-A their retirement community. Bill is a former Presbyterian Mission Co-Worker for Sudan who has been engaged in peacemaking work there for the past 26 years. He also served as Director of Peacebuilding and Reconciliation for World Vision International for ten years. Alice has made five trips to South Sudan, teaching trauma recovery and supporting peace efforts. In January 2017 they facilitated a retreat for 34 South Sudanese in northern Uganda to support peace efforts and nurture resilience for key leaders in the face of the current civil war and threatened genocide. Bill is a specialist in indigenous methods of conflict resolution and facilitated a peace conference in 1999 that ended an 8 year war at that time between the Dinka and Nuer tribes. That peace held for 15 years until the current civil war broke out in December 2013.

Climate Change is a topic that is rarely out of the news these days. If one listens to the ramblings of the B.C.C. aka the Brussels Brainwashing Commissariat you could be forgiven that it is an accepted scientific fact that human beings through their consumption of fossil fuels and, inter-alia their CO” emissions are responsible for “climate change”; and that the planet earth is warming fast that at any time in recorded history and that we are approaching “tipping points” at which the consequences will become irreversible.
There is a tale of a little boy walking with his mother across Hampstead Heath in a gale. The wind kept blowing off the little lad’s cap and, as he looked at the bending trees, he turned to his mother and exclaimed, “Mummy, if the trees didn’t wave it wouldn’t wind!” We are amused at this childish misunderstanding of the relationship between cause and effect. However if an adult were to put forward such fancies as factual we would not be so amused and indeed might become very alarmed if the grown-up then announced that all the trees on Hampstead Heath must be cut down to prevent the gales. I tell this story for a reason: Those currently promoting the Enhanced Greenhouse Hypothesis (EGH) that man-made CO2 is warming the planet are guilty of precisely the elementary error of that little boy. Al Gore’s film, An Inconvenient Truth is based entirely upon it.
Greenhouse effect. The effect is small but crucial to our survival on the planet – without the effect of water vapour, CO2 and other gases such as methane, the planet would probably be an iceblock. Water vapour contributes more than 95 per cent of the greenhouse warming.
When these two predictions were tested against reality neither of them were found to be occurring, which should have suggested to its proponents that something wasn’t right.
It did not explain the rapid (relatively: We are looking at mere points of a degree) warming in the late 19th century and again in the 1920s and 1930s, but the sudden cooling for 30 years between 1945 and 1975 at a time when man-made emissions of CO2 were most rapidly increasing (see footnote three) – and temperatures basically flatlining or even falling since 1998.
The discovery that the greenhouse effect of CO2 is not linear but rapidly tails off: Going from nought to 200ppm the effect is relatively substantial, from then on each incremental increase in CO2 has less and less further effect. The CO2 levels could double to 800ppm without much difference to its greenhouse effect.
NASA reports the fact that the planets (and their moons) have shown signs of warming – this clearly cannot be as a result of human CO2 emissions. This accumulated evidence renders the EGH dead in the water. It has ceased to be a viable hypothesis for global warming in serious science. Nor is the increase in CO2 anything but a bonus – it causes more plants and crops to grow (there has been a steady increase in vegetation globally of about four per cent per decade – producing what is called ‘global dimming’), helping to feed hungry mouths – as has happened globally in past warm periods such as the Roman warm period and the Medieval warm period – both warmer than today (eg vines were growing north of Hadrian’s Wall in Roman times – see footnote four).
So what is the prime forcing factor for planetary warming ? It is the sun.
all the scientists of his day – an instance, by the by, of consensus! They all were wrong and he was right. What he didn’t know was the subtle mechanism that connected these two things. Today this is beginning to become clearer and a very intriguing mechanism it looks to be.
flood to a single triangle. If this matter were merely a debate within academia, the whole thing would be of only moderate interest – theories in science come and go. However in this instance, incredibly expensive and highly dangerous policies based on a discredited idea are being enacted which will have appalling consequences for the world’s poorest peoples. One thinks of the terrible consequences of Lysenko’s ’science’ in the old USSR, where similarly a discredited science, amplified by a not wholly dissimilar hardened ideology, led to the starvation and death of millions. Or the manslaughter of upward of 30 million people from malaria since the 1970s when DDT was effectively banned after hysteria about its supposed dangers – which proved to be baseless. Affordable and reliable energy is what helps brings people out of subsistence living and enables them to have access to clean water, safe cooking and heating, education, effective crop management, health care, communications and good transport. The only reliable source of energy available today is fossil fuel – of which there is no shortage.
So why are those, who would appear to be concerned for the underdeveloped nations, so set on denying them the very resource that would get them on their feet – just because they believe in the discredited dogma of man-made global warming ?
1. This figure needs to be reduced by approximately 40 per cent using satellite and balloon measurements.
2. Examples: Prof Frederick Seitz, former president of the American National Academy of Science, stated, “I have never witnessed a more disturbing corruption of the peer review process than the events that led to this IPCC report.” A writer of the section on the supposed dangers of the spread of disease was an expert in… crash helmet design!
3. The IPCC produced a hypothesis about sulphate aerosols causing cooling – which has turned out to be merely a ‘fudge factor’. However the cooling fits better with sun intensity data – see graph.
4. The Third Assessment Report of the IPCC in 2000 published the now infamous ‘Hockey-stick’ graph produced by a Dr Michael Mann in an attempt to erase evidence of the global Medieval warm period and the Little Ice Age from Earth’s climate history. It was never properly peer reviewed. The graph has turned out to be spurious – bad statistical methodology and shoddy science – but, like so much misinformation, it got all round the world before the truth even got its boots on. It is now discredited.
5. Of considerable interest also is the Pacific Ocean Heat Vent discovered in 2001 by the study of data from Japan’s GMS-5 geostationary satellite, whereby the Earth has this extra means of losing heat into space – like a huge safety valve. A quite remarkable phenomenon, but apparently unknown and certainly unpredicted in Greenhouse circles.
This is very funny. I hope our children don’t read this and see that we are jionkg about their future.By the way when did the U.S. National Academy of Science become liberal? I missed that.
Have you got a link or reference for your graph? Looks interesting but if different from most others I have seen? I would like to understand why that is?

Housing Market Set for Favourable Lead Into Spring!
After an extended period of disconnect between supply and demand, Calgary’s detached housing sector is firmly in balanced territory. Sales were still 10% below long-term trends in March, but above levels seen in recent years, while average inventory declined compared to last year, supporting price stability in the detached market.
It’s not so much that demand went through the roof in March, but that we had less supply come onto the market, which is really helping to balance things out. These changes are lifting the cloud of uncertainty for housing consumers and nicely positioning our market as we more into the more active spring.

A holiday in the South of France would not be the same without a visit to one or two of the wonderful sandy Mediterranean beaches. We have put together our top ten favourites in the region, we have holiday villas with private swimming pools available to rent nearby and some directly on the beaches! South France Beach Villas. Many of the beach restaurants are only open from May to September.
This Plage privee as the French say is not in the main part of Portiragnes, a short drive or bike ride away from the centre. The food is typical Mediterranean, fresh fish and shellfish along with sumptuous salads. A wonderful ambiance, especially in the evening when they often have a live band playing. Sun loungers can also be reserved, ideal for a lazy afternoon after a fabulous lunch.
A large trendy plage privee, the decked terrace extends directly onto the beach. The winner of Top Chef (the French version of master chef) revised the menu in 2014. A wide selection of food, from Sushi to Cote de Beouf, along with a brunch on Saturdays and Sundays. To accompany your mean the wine and cocktail list has something for everyone. It is mainly a young crowd, once a week a DJ plays for a party on the beach. More expensive than most of the beach restaurants in Languedoc, South of France.
A small beach restaurant with a lovely friendly team, varied menu and a good value fixed price lunch menu. Undercover dining is available, should it be too hot or a little windy. If you are on holiday in the South of France with young children the beach is small and great for them to run around.
Gruissan, not waterfront set in between the new and old town.
Very pleasant and passionate owners. A choice of set menu’s or a la carte, the boullibase is their speciality along with amazing homemade desserts. A walk around the port afterwards is also recommended.
On the Rive Gauche this family run restaurant serves the freshest fish and oysters from the local Bassin de Thau. Extensive wine list, choice of set menus or great a la carte choice. The cheese platter is truly amazing the owner will tell you where to start and finish!
Open from May to September. Hidden away from the main part of Vias, behind Californie camping. Follow the pirate signs in the trees. This outdoor pop up restaurant is on the edge of the rocks, with uninterrupted views over the South of France. A wide choice of salads, fresh fish, lobster, and good steaks. A little pricey but the view is worth it.
This restaurant has the most wonderful scenic view over Lake Salagou, and plenty of shaded tables. A good choice on the 22 euro set menu, if going a la carte make sure you order your dessert at the start of your meal, as they are individually made. The cheese trolley has a great selection, and don’t forget here in the South of France, cheese is served before dessert.
Restaurants in the South of France are busy at lunchtime and have special lunchtime menus which are only available Monday to Friday. This means that you can eat exceptionally well for a good price. A glass of wine or a coffee is often included.

NetGalley Review-a-Thon – Escape Reality, Read Fiction!
What an utterly cool idea!
Lisa at Adventures of 2.0 is hosting a NetGalley Review-a-Thon event as the post-NetGalley Month “debriefing” this weekend. The thought being that since we read all those lovely NetGalley books last month, we need to catch up on our reviewing.
Because reading the books is fun. Writing up what we read can be, well, not so much.
Since we have to commit to how many reviews we’re going to write (but not necessarily post) this weekend, I’m going to say three. I have one book finished that I have to write up, and I should get two more read this weekend and written. I read a lot when I’m stressed (see this morning’s post), and if I’m going to be up half the night I might as well write the reviews while the books are still fresh in my mind.
Every time I see the hash tag for the read-a-thon I have to smile. It’s just perfect. Because the hash tag for the review-a-thon–wait for it–it’s #netgalleyrat.
I think the NetGalley books are the cheese.
Ratatouille was one of the great Pixar movies! To which I should have given due credit for the picture.
