What could be better than a slot with anthropomorphic fruit and NetEnt’s epic avalanche reels feature? Nothing, right? Not least because it allows us to get the word anthropomorphic into a Sunny Casino blog post. Which is great news for us as this month, NetEnt breathes life into its Fruit Case slot with a welcome update. And guess what? It’s got some pretty swish Avalanche features.
We love it when slots go overboard in the cuteness factor. And while some slots such as Fluffy Favourites give us cuddly animals, Fruit Case gives us a range of fruits with different expressions. The Strawberry, Orange, Lemon and Pear act as high paying symbols, with the Strawberry granting us 100 times our stake for five on a payline. Juicy!
But it gets juicier. The Avalanche feature, which we’ve seen put to great effect on NetEnt slots such as Gonzo’s Quest, makes a welcome appearance here. When we create winning combinations, new symbols fall in from above and help to create even more combos. But this is an update, remember. So we get Wild Multipliers and Free Fall Free Spins, meaning with an x8 Multiplier and free spins, we could win up to 2,400 times our stake. On each spin. Tasty!
Fruit baskets are now a thing of the past. In fact, Fruit Case is the gift that just keeps giving, so if you’re visiting anyone in hospital, why not let them play this slot instead of the grapes? NetEnt has breathed new life into a popular slot and did we mention that it’s got a damn awesome Avalanche feature? We must have. | 2019-04-23T18:35:43 | https://www.sunnycasino.com/uncategorized/netents-fruit-avalanche/ |

New Delhi, Feb 14 (PTI) Former finance minister P Chidambaram on Thursday slammed the CAG report on the Rafale deal as "useless", saying the institution has allowed itself to become a "joke".
New Delhi, Feb 14 (PTI) Former finance minister P Chidambaram on Thursday slammed the CAG report on the Rafale deal as “useless”, saying the institution has allowed itself to become a “joke”.
“The CAG allowed itself to become a joke and an honourable government in future will restore the prestige and credibility of the institution,” Chidambaram said “If you thought those 33 pages will bring to light the hidden aspects of the deal and explain matters relating to numbers, pricing, delivery etcetera and comment on correctness and propriety of transaction, you will be disappointed,” he said.
It also pointed out that certain India-specific enhancements in the new deal were “not required” and the Ministry of Defence overruled the Indian Air Force’s proposal to reduce the number of these enhancements. | 2019-04-20T18:52:32 | https://www.india.com/news/agencies/cag-has-allowed-itself-to-become-a-joke-chidambaram-3574072/ |
I kind of find the answer to this personality test odd. It seems like I'm pretty much on the border for everything. Though I though I had a very extreme personality it makes sense that I don't. For my whole lifestyle I try to keep balance of everything Fun , work, Socializing and being solitary.
Honestly I really like this list. Technology, information and how it's managed has always interested me, but most of all the first three groups all require a lot of learning which is something I like. In all of the top sectors there are so many new systems, and exparamental designs to learn. Another reason I like them all, is because they all require problem solving, one of my favorite pass times. | 2019-04-24T20:14:44 | http://rhhdp.weebly.com/interest-surveys.html |
Beep beep, yet another long overdue review coming through! I've had these photos taken and edited for so long, that i'm actually finished the bottle! Oops. In my defence, I did forget these photos existed, until I stumbled across them in the deep, dark, untouched area of my laptop. So without further ado, here comes the review!
I've never been a fan of primers, if i'm being totally honest. I didn't see the obsession of them, and when I tried one (a Maybelline one, I believe) I failed to notice any difference in how my makeup sat on my face/ how long it stayed put, so that kind of put me off them. However, upon recommendation from a few beauty bloggers, I decided to try again, picking up yet another drugstore primer, in the form of the "Rimmel Stay Matte Primer". The main reason that I wanted a primer was because it was my sixth year prom, and of course I wanted my makeup to last the night! At the very affordable price of £5.99, (although I believe I got it on a 3 for 2 offer, Boots are always doing these!) I wasn't expecting much, i'll be truthful. I was actually really quite surprised!
First up, being an art student, packaging is quite important to me, and this didn't excite me. I definitely didn't pick it up based on looks. It's not offensive, or disgusting, it's just boring. Sometimes simplicity is good, but in my opinion, not this time.
Anyway, that's not the important part, the product itself is! It's quite a thick consistency, and it took a bit of rubbing until it was completely absorbed. It also felt a bit plastic, but I don't think that's a bad thing. One major plus is that it didn't smell of anything, as I am not a fan of makeup that smells. i feel like it's an added ingredient that could be bad for my skin, so I was glad to see none of that.
It also dried really quickly, which meant I didn't have to wait ten minutes to apply foundation, I could do it almost instantly.
The main positive to this primer is how much of a difference I noticed. As I said earlier, I wasn't expecting much from this, but I was really surprised at the difference in my skin! My pores were visibly smaller, and my face felt smoother, and it just generally looked healthier. Sometimes I wear this primer on it's own, for those days when i'm not wearing makeup, just to give my skin a 'pick me up'.
Another thing is that it made my usually oily spots stay dry for longer, which really surprised me, as usually i'll be needing to reapply concealer halfway through the day- not anymore!
It definitely made my makeup sit better on my face, and applying foundation was so much easier. It's hard to explain my love for this primer, but all I can say is give it a chance. It's affordable, it's only a mere £5.99 in comparison to some of the more hyped up primers that are closer to the £20/25 mark.
I would give this primer a 4.5 /5, I really love it.
sounds amazing for the price!
Sounds like a really good primer for the price, although I have to agree with you on the packaging!
i'm glad someone agrees about the packaging! | 2019-04-26T08:34:59 | http://www.youfounderin.com/2015/01/rimmel-stay-matte-primer-review-swatches.html |
The 15 female PR professionals chosen to be 'mentees' as part of the PRWeek/Women in PR Mentoring Project have been named.
Each will be matched with a mentor – an experienced female PR figure – who will offer guidance through face-to-face meetings and other forms of contact. The project, in its second year, is a joint initiative between PRWeek and Women in PR that is designed to tackle the lack of female leaders in comms.
* Laura Weston, MD, Iris Worldwide.
They were chosen by a panel convened by Women in PR following an application process via PRWeek.
Women in PR president Mary Whenman said: "As a partner of PRWeek’s 2015 Mentoring Project we were very impressed with the calibre of the candidates, so judging was a difficult task. We would like to thank everyone who submitted an application. The standard was very high and we would encourage those not shortlisted this year to re-apply in the future when they have gained more experience."

When does a Delay make a Claim?
Delays are not uncommon in our overstretched NHS but not all delays will support a successful legal claim.
There are many different types of delay a patient can experience when accessing healthcare. Due to the many stages in referral and treatment, a single patient may indeed experience more than one delay.
The circumstances in each type of delay are important in identifying if the delay could support a legal claim.
The delay resulted in additional and demonstrable injury or illness.
Below are some common delay scenarios.
The first delay a patient may experience is in waiting for an appointment. Referrals for treatment are most commonly sent by GPs. Delays can occur at the time of referral due sometimes to administrative errors by the sender or recipient, a problem commonly seen in the multi-layered NHS referral system.
Whether any delay leads to a legal claim very much depends on two things. Firstly, the length of the delay and how far outside the acceptable waiting time this falls. Secondly, the patient (the Claimant) would need to demonstrate that they have suffered significant additional illness or injury as a result of that delay.
Having the right diagnosis is crucial to receiving the correct treatment. Sometimes delays occur because the healthcare practitioner fails to spot the correct condition at first or fails to make a diagnosis at all. This results in a delay in treatment.
In the same way as above, to support a legal claim, it is important to demonstrate below standard care in failing to make that diagnosis earlier and resultant additional illness or injury occurring as a result.
A waiting list will always involve some waiting, hence the title. Issues, however, can arise if the delay is far outside accepted targets or if the urgency of the condition has been incorrectly assessed, with treatment in fact indicated without a wait. Again, whether such delay leads to a legal claim will depend on the length of that day and also the need to link that unacceptable delay to additional illness or injury.
Once subjected to tests or investigations, receiving the results is an important part of the process. For most of us, that means waiting patiently for the results to come through.
Delays can occur in communicating such results either from the laboratory or onwards to the patient. If such a delay is determined in the circumstances to be unacceptably excessive, for example a test proving positive for cancer, and such delay results in additional illness or injury, there may be a legal claim.
Accessing the right healthcare at the right time is critical for good health going forward. Failures in process or in clinical management can lead to unacceptable delays which in turn can result in illness or injury.

What can a whale teach us about personal brand management?
Australia’s well-known humpback whale seminally has it all when we talk about personal brand management. He stands out amongst the crowd, leaves a lasting memory and touches those on an emotional level that have the privilege of witnessing him on his migration north.
So how can you replicate this in mastering your “Personal Brand management”?
Migaloo, when first sighted he was the only known all white whale in the world. We have been fortunate enough to witness Migaloo this week on the Central Coast. As he migrates up the east coast of Australia from Antarctica to the warmer waters of Tropical North Queensland his distinctive all white colouring draws crowds lining the shores in hope of simply catching a glimpse.
Migaloo has certainly built a personal brand for himself with people flocking to see him as he passes by our shores. Imagine the impact on your business if your personal brand had such cut through.
A ‘personal brand’ is synonymous with your reputation. Referring to the way other people see you as a business owner, a representative of an idea, company or activity. Are you an expert? Are you Visionary? Do you just get the job done? What do you stand for? What is the initial perception when someone hears your name?
Don’t be intimidated by building your personal brand while also trying to build a company brand.
Make the most of author bios: If possible, showcase your name, as well as the name of your small company.
Use your headshot: When you’re asked for an image, use your own professional quality headshot.
Focus on speaking opportunities: Taking advantage of speaking opportunities is a smart way to raise your business’ profile and it also puts you front and center.

Is spanking children good or evil? Every child is different. I’ve raised and helped raise many.
Some children respond to timeouts and having their toys taken away. Some children respond to lost privileges (grounding), but some only respond to a swift smack on the backside. I’m not talking about teenagers. If you’re having problems by then, you have missed the boat.
Never hit a child out of anger. I wish my parents had learned that lesson.
Spanking a child is not about anger, but about teaching them discipline. If you are spanking your child, you should not like it or want to do it. It should make you feel bad. This should be the last and final resort. This is not about your justification for taking action for a bad child’s behavior but the last option to make that child behave in a socially acceptable manner.
Once they get a little older, especially with boys, a little sting shows you are the dominant person in the household. This actually works. It is not abusive and when used in the right way makes a huge difference in how they act towards authority figures later in life.
If there are no borders and no repercussions for one’s actions, they never learn consequences. This is why so many grow up with no boundaries or respect for others.
This is basic psychology. I raised all my kids to be strong. All my kids, biological or otherwise, know I love them. Life is hard and I made sure they knew that going in.
Whether they went to the military or college, they knew this world would try to eat them alive. They were ready and prepared. They are all doing very well. I did my job. I was not their friend, but their parent.
Selfish people should learn that your kids come first. It’s all about them, not you. If you don’t know that, I think I just spanked you. | 2019-04-23T14:04:04 | http://www.tribtoday.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/2019/01/sometimes-spanking-children-is-necessary/ |

"I see the moon and the moon sees me," she sang softly, lifting the curtain to look out the window.
Outside, way up in the sky, she really could see the moon, yellow and round, it's surface pockmarked in just such a way to make it look like a large smiling face staring down at her. She wished it could. They would be friends, the moon and her. They would go on adventures together and she would leave it all behind and never come back.
Voila! I hope you enjoyed my little story. If you did, please share it! And better yet, follow this blog. If you're still hankering for more Five Sentence Fiction, just follow the links below.

Some local politicians in Western Visayas are employing private armed groups and even New People’s Army rebels, the regional police said.
Western Visayas police head Chief Superintendent John Bulalacao said these politicians include both incumbent and those running for office.
While Bulalacao did not name the congressman, he described the solon as a male who is campaigning for a mayoralty position.
“He is campaigning for a mayoralty position but I don’t want to reveal his name yet because we are validating this report,” he said.
In the meantime, Bulalacao said they have a list of mayors who are reported to be engaging the NPAs help in their campaign.
He warned these politicians against engaging the services of the NPAs and PAGs for their political ends.
Bulalacao added he is confident voters are circumspect enough to junk politicians who employ goons, guns, and gold in their political activities.
“The fact that they are cooperating and coordinating with the NPAs is wrong because they are giving strength to the local terrorists,” he added.
Citing information, he said NPAs could ask for P500,000 from a local candidate in exchange for a permit to campaign to allow access to perceived rebel strongholds.
The NPAs are also asking for permit to win (PTW) fees from candidates, he added.
Col. Alberto Desoyo, commander of the Philippine Army’s 301st Infantry Brigade, said they have already received reports of PTC solicitation in Panay Island.
“I have seen some letters. But we’re still validating the senders. Anybody can produce the PTCs. We have to confirm the source,” he said.
Most of these PTC letters were allegedly circulating in areas under the NPA’s Central Front Committee, or those towns belonging to Central Panay.
Desoyo said they would still further strengthen their focused military operations, especially in the hinterland areas. | 2019-04-24T07:49:27 | https://visayas.politics.com.ph/pnp-western-visayas-solon-in-close-coordination-with-npa/ |
The TV news recently broadcast a meeting at Temple Trees chaired by the President that discussed the proposed development of a 1800 acre sports complex at Migahajandura. Thereafter, the Sunday Times reported cabinet approval of Rs. 15 billion for a sports complex at Hambantota. This report did not refer to Migahajandura.
I write from memories of 60 years ago, when in 1953, I was transferred to the Irrigation Department (ID) Engineer’s Office at Tissamaharama as a young Technical Assistant (TA). The development of the Malala Ara basin was my responsibility, in addition to other work.
Migahajandura was a village of about 35 families, 20 miles from Hambantota. The Migahajandura wewa was across a right bank tributary joining Malala Ara about midway in its 40-mile journey from Hambegamuwa area to the Malala Kalupuwa (Lagoon) at Udamalala and into the southern Indian Ocean. There were three abandoned wewas across the main Malala Ara viz Mahagal wewa furthest north, Maharanawarna wewa midway and Badagiriya furthest south about 10 miles from Hambantota.
Migahajandura wewa was a minor tank which was under the Government Agent, Hambantota. The Agrarian Services Law had not been enacted at the time. The ID was responsible for medium and major irrigation works. Accordingly, restoration of Mahagal wewa to asweddumise 500 acres was commenced in 1953 and construction work at Badagiriya to asweddumise, 1000 acres in 1955.
The road from Hambantota passed Badagiriya, (10 miles) Gannoruwa Village (12 miles), Migahajandura (20 miles) Pahalakumbuk wewa (22 miles) and ended at Ihalakumbuk wewa (25 miles). From there, a footpath led to Mahagal wewa a further four miles away.
Travelling to these villages was not easy. Access to Mahagal wewa from Tissamaharama was either through Hambantota or Tanamalwila and the little village of Ahukkangala. From Ahukkangala it was seven miles along a jungle track.
I based myself at Ihala kumbuk wewa village for the preliminary work at Mahagal wewa. The village boutique was owned by a man from Hambantota who kindly consented to give me a small room to stay in during my inspections. The Divisional Irrigation Engineer at Tangalle released a jeep to the IE for Tissa a few days every three months or so. I was allocated this jeep for one inspection of Mahagal wewa. In dry weather I used my car, a CN series Bug Fiat Station wagon or at other times a push bicycle.
On one occasion I had to carry my survey instruments and therefore travelled by car even though there had been some rain.
Leaving Tissa about 5.30 a.m., I passed Hambantota about 6.15 or so. From Hambantota to Gannoruwa village the road was gravelly. After that it was a dirt road. I drove through three or four mud holes and reached an ominous looking patch about three miles before Migahajandura. It was about 7.30 am. I decided to take a chance and drove into it only to be well and truly stuck with the differential grounded.
There was no alternative but to wait for help. I had brought two loaves of bread, a luxury at the time especially in those villages, ate a bit of it and got out to stretch my legs and look around for sticks, stones and logs that would be necessary to get the car out. It was thick forest all around. Elephant, bear and wild buffalos were plentiful. So I would not venture too far. A book by Donald Bradman brought on my last visit home to Colombo was with me. I was playing for the ID in the Inter Departmental Government Service Tournament at that time, having played for Ananda in 1945 and 1946. I read Bradman with bird song in the background!
Every now and then I got out to stretch myself, always alert. At about 11 o clock a man from Migahajandura on his way to Gannoruwa came along on his bicycle. He and I tried to push the car out but failed. Muddied feet added to my misery. The man understood my plight and decided to wait with me for a while. It was afternoon when two more villagers from Migahajandura turned up. By using a log to lever the differential off the ground and sticks and shrubs to help the wheels to grip we managed to get the car out much to my relief. Payment for help was refused. I reached my destination, Ihalakumbuk wewa village later in the afternoon.
The dry zone peasant was poor but very kind, respectful, helpful and hospitable, not exploitative. They would willingly share whatever they had with an unexpected guest. During my work in these areas, I was the recipient of chena produce, bees honey, wild boar and venison as gifts. The land of these villages and surrounding forests was their life and water was their life blood.
The Migahajandura area was dense dry zone forest, full of stately satin, majestic palu, weera and other trees. The ripe berries of the palu tree were used by the villagers to distil illicit liquor. The ripe berries that fell on the ground were also relished by bear that were plentiful as were elephant, wild buffalo, wild boar, sambur, spotted dear and other smaller animals. There were a wide variety of birds too. Green and pompador pigeon, drongo, green barbet, wood pecker, shama, peafowl, wild fowl and many others. The wewas and paddy fields were home to jacana, moorhen, teal, darter, cormorant, pelican, lapwing, heron, egret etc. During the migrant season starting September, many visitors such as sandpiper, stint, plover, painted stork, snipe etc. were seen. Wild duck such as gargeny visited the lagoons, especially.
On another occasion, I had come on inspection thro’ Tanamalwila on a push bicycle, spending a night at Anukkangala, two nights at Mahagal wewa reaching the surveyor’s camp at Pahalakumbuk wewa by afternoon to stay the night before returning to Tissa thro’ Hambantota. It was very cloudy and began to rain. By evening it was a torrential downpour. Due to rain during the previous days the ground was saturated and the wewas were full. The deluge continued into the dark. After a while when the rain had reduced a few villagers from Migahajandura came to inform the surveyor that the wewa was full and would overflow.
Although the surveyor had no responsibility regarding the wewa, he was the only public officer who was directly associated with the land. In this instance I happened to be there and decided to help. The Surveyor very kindly lent me one of his men with a 5 cell torch light. We set off for Migahajandura about 1 � miles away, wading knee deep in the muddy water. The villagers led the way followed by me and the surveyor’s man behind lighting the way. I stepped on a “log” that quickly moved under my foot. The log turned out to be a small crocodile. It surfaced a little ahead and swam away!
At Migahajandura, the Vel Vidane was instructed to cut open the “breaching section” if and when the water rose to a certain level, to prevent serious damage to the main bund by overtopping. Fortunately, the rain eased and the necessity did not arise.
Field officers of the ID worked under difficult conditions. Public transport was restricted to main roads. Most village roads were motorable only in the dry weather except by jeep. The abandoned irrigation works that required investigation and survey before restoration were often deep in the jungle. Access tracks had to be cut from the nearest village and survey lines cleared. Apart from wild animals and reptiles, the parasitic “tick” was a menace. Their bite caused much discomfort and even fever. Malaria too was quite common.
The salaries paid were not commensurate considering these conditions and in comparison with their counterparts who worked in offices.
Nevertheless, despite this physical and financial hardship we enjoyed our work in the ID at the time. There was great comradeship among the staff and also with other field officers such as surveyors of the Survey Department and personnel of other departments engaged in the development of the land for settlement and agriculture.
The best reward was derived by serving these poor people whose lives depended on our diligence. Water was their life blood. To be directly responsible for providing it and thereafter guiding them to manage it properly was a privilege. To see people settled and blossoming paddy fields as a result of ones effort is most satisfying.
Another important reason for this satisfaction was the freedom we had to work according to government policy and principles of the ID, conscientiously without interference from politicians or any others. Politicians were met with at the District Agricultural Committee (DAC) which was chaired by the Government Agent at that time from the Civil Service and therefore could not be pushed around. At the DAC progress was reviewed, problems if any discussed and decisions made professionally in the interest of the people we were pledged to serve.
The scarcity of water will undoubtedly be further aggravated by clearing large areas of forest in this dry/semi arid region. After people were settled in the new lands under the Malala Ara projects, I think the ID diverted water from Mau Ara in the Walawe gaga basin to supplement the shortfall especially for the Yala Cultivation.
In the circumstances, large scale multifaceted development such as the Hambantota Harbour, Mattala Airport, Suriyawewa Stadium and the proposed sports complex at Migahajandura will require transbasin diversion from a wet zone river.
The other aspect is the plight of the large numbers of wild animals that lived in these forests. Whilst people can be resettled and provided with alternative forms of livelihood, what would have happened to these animals? What will be the fate of those that remain?
In conclusion, one can only hope that the new generation of men and women of Mahagal wewa, Migahajandura and Mattala will live in peace and harmony in their modernised motherland as did their forefathers with mother nature. | 2019-04-21T10:20:11 | http://www.sundaytimes.lk/130421/plus/life-amidst-caring-village-folk-and-abundant-wildlife-41422.html |
Takeaway: With winter fast approaching and your autumn harvest quickly vanishing, you may be despairing at the thought of leaving your outdoor veggie patch empty over the cold months ahead. Not to worry, there are many veggies that will flourish over winter, ensuring you make the most of your outdoor garden year-round.
When growing chard over winter, it’s best to start seeds in modular trays to plant in the garden three or four weeks later.
A polytunnel should be used for best results. It’s best to plant from October through to late November and come spring, chard will be one of your first harvests.
It’s also worth noting that the bitter taste that often puts people off chard is sometimes lost if the crop is grown in colder temperatures.
Broad beans are one of the best winter crops to grow as there are many different varieties hardy enough to face the cold months ahead.
You should aim to have your broad beans in the ground by the end of November and you’ll find them ready to harvest by mid-spring.
When planting, ensure you stay away from water-logged ground, and add fertilizer to encourage a delicious bumper crop.
Many onion varieties are cold-resistant and actually prefer to be planted in cooler environments. They can be planted anywhere from early November right up until late January.
Frequent sowings will ensure you have a harvest throughout late winter and spring. Ideally, you should plant your crops from sets as these are more durable than seeds or transplants. Your harvest is ready when the leaves begin to turn yellow and fall over, and the skin turns brown.
Mushrooms are ideally sown by mid-December, but if your winter isn’t too wet you can sow later. You can grow mushrooms either by injecting spores into a log, using a mushroom kit or planting saplings, but the key is ensuring your crop has a moist, dark area to grow.
If you enjoy the tangy, crisp taste of pak choi, then you’ll be pleased to learn it can be sown and harvested year-round. Admittedly, it can struggle in plummeting temperatures, but the addition of a cloche can do wonders.
Harvesting time will depend on how you choose to start your pak choi off, but can be as little as 30 days if you sow baby leaves, providing you with a delicious winter salad.
Garlic is a wonderfully easy crop to grow and can be planted from early October right through until late December.
On the downside, your harvest won’t be ready until June through August, but it’s a great way to make use of your vegetable patch during winter.
When planting, ensure your bulbs are placed in a light, open area and, if you live in an area with high rainfall, preferably in raised beds.
It’s a common misconception that asparagus beds are hard work. If you keep them weed free, they’re relatively easy to maintain. While many varieties of asparagus are best planted in spring or summer, several varieties are winter-hardy and can be planted until the end of November. The downside: asparagus can take up to two years to come to harvest.
While some lettuce varieties are hardy enough to grow outdoors over winter, you’re more likely to get a good yield if you grow indoors, especially if you’re expecting a harsh winter. To get the best outdoor results, plant your lettuce in raised beds, potentially covered with a low tunnel, and keep a close eye on the temperature. If the temperature nears freezing, consider heating your crop.
Believe it or not, these are just a few of the vegetables you can grow throughout winter and with the right care, your winter crops will yield you a wonderful spring harvest and perhaps even a few winter delights, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor garden year-round. | 2019-04-22T12:10:05 | https://www.maximumyield.com/top-vegetables-to-grow-throughout-winter/2/2600 |

Giants finalize contract with Melvin Upton, Jr.
Giants finalize deal with Melvin Upton Jr.
SAN FRANCISCO – The question after Tuesday night’s 4-3 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks wasn’t whether Denard Span could have caught that three-run triple near the center field wall.
It’s whether Melvin Upton Jr. could. And maybe throw Drew Stubbs into that conversation, too.
Gorkys Hernandez is the right-handed portion of the Giants’ hazy platoon in center field, and Hernandez is the one who couldn’t catch Jake Lamb’s drive with the bases loaded in the third inning. He appeared to have the ball tracked down as he approached the wall, but he mistimed his little hop and whiffed on it as three runs scored.
On Wednesday morning, the Giants finalized their minor league contract with Upton Jr. and he has reported to extended spring training in Arizona, GM Bobby Evans said.
It’ll be a few days before Upton Jr. would join Triple-A Sacramento. He strikes out a ton, but he also hit 20 home runs last season – most of them against NL West pitchers with the San Diego Padres.
Is it too early to acknowledge the Giants must make a change in the outfield? Their left fielders are 2 for 32 with 13 strikeouts. Hernandez is 2 for 25, with most of his at-bats coming in center.
Bochy said after the loss that he would keep faith in Hernandez.
The Giants obviously have positive evaluations of Hernandez’s defensive ability, although I’m not sure we’ve seen it in a brief glimpse over two seasons. I don’t think they will give up on him just two weeks into the season.
But roster decisions are all about your alternatives. We’ll find out soon enough if Upton Jr. (or Stubbs) could be better than what they have.
Arizona’s A.J. Pollock made the catch that Hernandez could not near the wall, taking extra bases away from Aaron Hill in a play that saved at least one run in the third inning. Perhaps everyone underestimated how much his absence hurt Arizona last year, and what kind of a difference he could make this season. The Diamondbacks certainly have the look of being a contender so far.
Hunter Pence quietly had an outstanding defensive game in right field. He couldn’t have played Lamb’s single off the bricks any better if he had a squash racket in his hand.
It’s a good thing that Pence has come around with the bat after his colossal struggles this spring. If he were batting under .200, then the Giants would be getting next to nothing out of all three outfield spots.
A positive sign that Buster Posey’s concussion symptoms really are minor: he watched Tuesday’s game in uniform from the dugout. When Brandon Belt had his concussion, he couldn’t do that. The noise and the lights bothered him.
I do think that Posey would’ve remained on the active roster if he played any position other than catcher. The combination of needing two available catchers on the roster, and the risk of a foul tip to the mask, made the concussion DL move automatic.
Jeff Samardzija needed Lamb’s ball to be caught to avoid a big inning, but he really did have powerful stuff while throwing 112 pitches in 6 2/3 innings.
Paraphrasing him here, but he said it was important that he take advantage of the opportunity when allowed to stay out there for a few extra hitters. He wanted to show the coaching staff that they can have faith in him to face a lineup a third time, and stay effective past the 100th pitch. Maybe he’ll get the same amount of rope, or more, the next time.
No need to paraphrase Samardzija’s answer when asked if he hit Paul Goldschmidt on purpose. | 2019-04-18T12:40:04 | https://www.mercurynews.com/2017/04/12/giants-finalize-deal-with-melvin-upton-jr/ |

One of the most-awaited films of the year, Saaho, will have Prabhas, Shraddha Kapoor and Neil Nitin Mukesh sharing the screen space. Prabhas, who was last seen in action entertainer Baahubali, will be sporting a totally different avatar for this one, more like of a boy-next-door. It was only recently when makers share teasers featuring Prabhas and Kapoor respectively and it won’t be wrong to say that those glimpses took our excitement level a notch higher. Just when fans are waiting to see more of this film, we have got our hands on a leaked picture from the sets and it is all things adorable!
In the picture that has gone viral, we can see Shraddha Kapoor and Prabhas romantically looking into each other’s eyes. Shraddha Kapoor, in her pastel pink dress, looked no less than an angel. Prabhas, on the other side, looked dapper in his white shirt and pant. Going by the looks of this picture, we are assuming that two were shooting for a romantic song. Needless to say, this picture has managed to create a tremendous amount of buzz among all the moviegoers.
Saaho, which is said to be a spy thriller, will be reportedly shot in three different languages: Hindi, Telugu and Tamil. In his latest interview to an entertainment portal, Prabhas had revealed, “After Baahubali it's an action thriller. I feel people like to see me in action movies, so after Baahubali, they may like it."
Saaho is directed by Sujeeth. Apart from Prabhas, Neil and Shraddha, it also stars Evelyn Sharma and Arun Vijay in lead roles. The film is slated to hit the big screens on August 15 this year and is touted to be the second most expensive film ever made in India, with a budget of almost Rs 300 crores. | 2019-04-19T15:03:14 | https://www.in.com/entertainment/bollywood/saaho-prabhas-and-shraddha-kapoors-chemistry-is-too-hot-to-handle-and-this-leaked-photo-is-proof-374179.htm |

The toddler could barely walk, but already he was lost.
In 1992, his mother, a woman named Josie Cohen, reported to Sacramento area authorities that she suspected her estranged husband was sexually abusing the 2-year-old.
According to investigative records documenting the case, obtained by SN&R, the boy told a Child Protective Services investigator in 1993 that his father regularly sodomized him. A medical exam proved inconclusive. But in April 1994, the case was heard in Sacramento County’s family court, where multiple witnesses testified that the child had described being abused or raped. His attorney even relayed a CPS social worker’s conclusion that the father was masturbating “and ejaculating in front of” the toddler. | 2019-04-22T04:42:57 | http://www.centerforjudicialexcellence.org/2017/01/26/californias-family-court-system-places-kids-back-in-the-hands-of-alleged-abusers/ |
As soon as Fall comes around, I go a little crazy with squash. Remember the nine butternut squashes I bought? Yeah, they have quickly dwindled down to only 2 left. I just. can’t. get. enough. !
Along with all those butternut squashes I bought, I also got a few acorn squashes. I’ve had fun experimenting in the kitchen with squash recipes — and the recipe I’m posting today? It’s definitely a winner. This dish is the perfect medley of Fall flavors including a crisp granny smith apple, dried cranberries, chopped pecans, flavor-packed sweet potatoes, crunchy celery, and nutty-flavored brown rice (we’ll get to that in a minute).
Oh yes. So, I was going to tell you about this “nutty-flavored rice.” To get a deeper, richer, and ultimately nutty tasting rice I added some flaxseed to it. Is that weird? Just trust me on this one — you can’t taste the flaxseed. Adding just a bit adds a depth of flavor that perfectly complements the other ingredients in this dish.
Another fun ingredient in this dish is the granny smith apple. The apple adds a tart crunch to each bite that is mellowed out by the slightly bitter-sweet crispiness of the celery. I’m begging you — do not leave out this apple!
Another confession about my obsession with squash (as if my buying 9 butternut + 4 acorn isn’t enough evidence): when I was first experimenting with this recipe, I stuffed butternut squash inside the acorn squash (instead of sweet potatoes the recipe now calls for). Too much squash? Is that even a possibility?! So if you happen to be as obsessed with squash as I am, feel free to stuff squash inside of squash. And if not, the sweet potatoes are equally delicious.
Microwave the squashes for about 8-10 minutes. Let cool, slice in half and remove the seeds. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Follow package directions to make 2 cups of brown rice.
In a large saucepan, add in olive oil and saute garlic for 30 seconds. Add in the chopped sweet potatoes. Saute for about 10 minutes or until sweet potatoes are tender. Add in the chopped celery, diced apples, salt, pepper, and chicken bouillon.
When the brown rice is finished, mix in the flaxseed and then combine the rice with the vegetable mixture. Add dried cranberries and mix until ingredients are well incorporated.

MSNBC hosts panel on transgender invisibility. Forgets actual trans people.
Three cisgender men joined the host to tell trans people they have no reason to be upset over the Scarlett Johansson controversy.
From a story that was quick to brand posts as homophobic to her claim that she was hacked, the MSNBC host is facing a firestorm of criticism.
Twitter gagged when Steve Kornacki spit out his pen so he could talk without stopping figuring out the math behind the results.
She repeatedly called him "Miss Charlie" when calling him a closeted gay man. | 2019-04-23T18:33:56 | https://www.lgbtqnation.com/tag/msnbc/ |
The Flowlab board is trying to to take the classic skateboard to the next level. Where a classic skateboard will allow you to carve at 25 degrees the Flowlab board allows up to 45 degree carves, using 14 wheels rather then the traditional 4.
Developed in 1999 by a couple of San Francisco design students looking for a way to skate down the city’s steep hillsides. Unlike a regular skateboard, the Flowboard has 14 wheels, enabling the rider to make the curving motions of a snowboarder.
Back in 2005 Kern signed a two-yearwith Bravo Sports, a product marketing company to try and penetrate the sporting goods side of the market while we focused on the pro channels. But it didn’t happen. The company ended up shelving the product for two years for reasons unknown to Kern. Bravo Sports has also declined to comment on their reasons.
Now with the pact finally expired, Sport Technology has relaunched the Flowboard and resurrected the name Bomb Factory for the company’s skateboard and T-shirt line. | 2019-04-24T06:33:34 | http://www.luxury-gadgets.com/2010/07/26/flowlab-skateboard/ |

The HMS Bounty pays a call at St. Augustine. This replica of the infamous ship was built in the 1960s for the Marlon Brando version of the movie, Mutiny on the Bounty. It is built to scale from records found in the British Admiralty, however it is larger than the original – to make room for the camera and sound equipment needed for the movie. Mutiny isn’t the only movie where the Bounty has made an appearance. She was also a performer in Pirates of the Caribbean II: Dead Man’s Chest.
Her arrival in St. Augustine was quite an event. We were watching from the top of the Castillo de San Marcos as she motored in on the high tide. She will spend the weekend here before heading on to Savannah and parts north as part of her 2012 tour of the East Coast.

France and Germany are to send ministers to Taiwan in January for last-minute campaigning ahead of a decision on a lucrative high-speed rail contract, an official from one of the bidding firms said.
"French Transport Minister Jean-Claude Gayssot and German Economic Minister Werner Muller will travel to Taiwan in January but not on the same date," said an official from the Eurotrain consortium -- made up of French firm Alstom and Germany's Siemens.
"We have full support of both governments," the official said on condition of anonymity. "It is reasonable they would voice their concerns while here."
The European conglomerate is locked in battle with the Shinkansen group of Japan for a NT$95 billion (US$3 billion) contract to supply train carriages and locomotives.
Gayssot cancelled a visit to Taiwan this month following the outbreak of a cabinet-level scandal in Paris which involves weapon sales to Taipei years ago.
Local media said Gayssot was scheduled to meet President Lee Teng-hui, Transport Minister Lin Feng-cheng and Nita Ing, chairwoman of Taiwan High Speed Rail Corp (THSRC), which won the NT$440 billion(US$13.86 billion) contract for Taiwan's first high-speed rail project.
It will construct a 340-km railway linking Taipei and the southern city of Kaohsiung on a build-operate-transfer basis.
Japan, which is promoting Shinkansen's "bullet train" as more suitable for Taiwan than Eurotrain's TGV system, has been reluctant to make official contact with Taipei in deference to Beijing.
The Eurotrain official renewed the conglomerate's pledge to invest a 5 percent stake in the mammoth project. Eurotrain also guaranteed to help bring in investment for another 5 percent holding.
It forecast the Taiwan high-speed rail system to transport 100 million passengers a year, double that of the average passenger load for European rails of the same length.
Although the THSRC is to make a preliminary decision between Eurotrain and Shinkansen before the end of December, there is provision for the losing bidder to stake a late claim before the contract is signed in January which is when the French and German ministers are due to arrive.

Lamb has a very distinctive taste. Earthy, rich, sophisticated. Lamb’s strong flavor has to be matched by the right accompaniment, such as the balsamic reduction or other sauce for lamb. An excellent combination is lamb chops with mustard-thyme sauce.
To bring out the best in lamb, it has to be cooked right. When cooked properly, lamb meat is juicy, rich, and bursting with flavor. The best way to bring out all those flavors is to pan sear lamb chops on the stove top.

Marinade for half an hour. The longer you marinate, the richer the flavor. For more flavor, marinate in a covered container overnight in the refrigerator.
Which pan to use for cooking lamb chops?
This recipe will work with both lamb chops and lamb rib chops.
Don’t like cranberries? Use pitted dried cherries or blueberries.
Don’t have honey? Use maple syrup.
Don’t have balsamic vinegar? Use regular red wine vinegar.
Allow lamb chops rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking. Don’t cook the lamb chops straight out of the refrigerator.
First, sear the lamb chops on both sides. Then, cover the pan with the lid and allow the chops rest off heat or on lower heat for about 5 minutes or more until they are done.

2) Add lamb chops and sear on medium-high heat about 3 minutes on each side.
3) Reduce the heat to low. Cook them on low heat for about 5 more minutes.

Turn the lamb chops over and cook for 3 minutes on the other side on medium-high heat. Use a splatter screen, if needed.
Then, reduce the heat to low and flip the lamb chops back to the other side. Cook them on low heat for about 5 more minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat, cover with lid. Allow the lamb chops rest in the skillet, off heat, covered for about 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, check the lamb loin chops for doneness. The internal temperature of chops should register at 145 F. The lamb should have a pink color when cut in the center (not raw). If the lamb chops are still raw, continue cooking, covered, on medium heat for another 5-10 minutes, until they are properly cooked.
Spoon the balsamic reduction over and around the lamb chops. Top with chopped pecans.
This goes really well with mashed potatoes! | 2019-04-22T00:12:46 | https://juliasalbum.com/lamb-chops-with-cranberry-balsamic-reduction/ |

I bet the name alone just got your attention! 😀 Whenever I read vanilla bean, I am immediately interested in a recipe. Add on angel and pillow…well, forget about it. I had to make these immediately! I know I’ve said it before, but when I see those black vanilla bean specks it makes me so happy. Unfortunately, vanilla beans are expensive. But, they aren’t quite so bad if you buy them in bulk on Amazon. I get around 30 vanilla beans for less than $20. Still, I like to get all I can out of my beans, so I keep a big Tupperware container of sugar and throw all my used beans in there. That way I always have vanilla sugar for baking, sprinkling on fresh berries and sweetening beverages. So, I am glad I had some vanilla sugar on hand because I could never wait the 1 to 2 weeks to make homemade vanilla sugar for this recipe! 😀 The dough comes together easy enough with the dry ingredients, butter and a whole scraped vanilla bean mixed in the food processor. At first, I thought I had made a mistake because it looked really powdery for a long while. Then all of a sudden, it came together as a dough. The dough is then rolled into balls, baked and rolled in vanilla sugar while the cookies are still warm The cookie has a very delicate, crumbly buttery texture that just melts in your mouth as vanilla sugar coats your fingers and lips. I honestly can’t stop eating them. The problem is that they taste as good as their name implies.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a food processor, combine flour, powdered sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Cover and process until combined.
Using the tip of a sharp knife, scrape pulp from vanilla bean. Add vanilla pulp to the flour mixture; add butter. Cover and process with several on/off pulses until mixture starts to cling, stopping once to scrape down side of bowl. Gather mixture into a ball.
Shape dough into 1 1/4-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. (I used parchment) They don’t spread much so you can bake them in 2 batches.
Bake in the preheated oven about 12 minutes or just until edges start to brown (Start checking at about 9 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack and cool for 5 minutes.
Place vanilla sugar in a small bowl. While still warm, roll cookies in vanilla sugar to coat. Cool completely on wire rack.
I think this dough would lend itself well to citrus flavors with the addition of lemon, lime, or orange zest instead of vanilla bean.
I recommend using parchment- I seem to get less browning on the bottoms.
Vanilla Bean caught my attention 🙂 Your cookies look so good, I wish I had one with my tea right now!
Ha, I knew it would! 😀 Thanks Abby. Oh, these would be so delicious with tea! | 2019-04-22T06:14:46 | https://justbakedbyme.wordpress.com/2012/02/17/vanilla-bean-angel-pillows/ |

The Dream-Lux integration system is NOT A WIG, this is a permanent system that is worn every day. We use an added hair piece using the very finest Russian hair and made with a silk base which allows the scalp to breathe and integrates amazingly with the natural hair, giving a totally natural look. Our super light system allows your natural hair to grow as normal underneath and causes no tension or pulling on the hair or scalp. Our specialist will firstly create a foundation for your new hair using a soft breathable mesh fabric called a volumizer mesh and this acts as your new scalp. We then gently draw your natural hair through the mesh using a crochet tool. Next, we will then secure the mesh down tightly to your head using tiny undetectable silicone lined micro rings (these are much smaller than your standard rings), the rings are then clamped downwards to secure the mesh firmly in place. We then attach the weft hair and closure to the mesh using a sewing technique. Then finally, once all is sewn on we then cut and finish the hair to your desired style and look. The Dream- Lux hair integration system can be worn continually with maintenance appointments. We recommend maintenance of the system is carried out every 2 to 3 months depending on the clients’ natural hair. Our Integration Systems last roughly 1 year with the correct use of our recommended hair extension aftercare kit.

This system is very different to any other system i fit. the way this system works is we use a monofilament breathable topper which is integrated with your natural hair using medical grade tape pockets, your hair is drew very carefully using a crochet hook through the tiny tape tab pockets, your hair is sandwiched in between the tabs and secured down using no rings or mesh. This system can last up to 2 years with correct maintenance and aftercare products. This method is not suitable if you have an oily scalp.
Our bespoke volume parting is perfect for anyone who has a good amount of hair everywhere but just lacks some volume in the parting/ crown area, do you find your parting thin or flat and no matter what you do it just doesn’t give you the look you want, i have designed this system to combat all of that and give you the volume and thickness back. Our Dream Volume Parting uses no mesh at all and is fitted onto your natural hair. we secure your hair down using tiny little silicone lined rings and attach our custom made russian breathable silk parting to your natural hair. This gives an amazing result and can not be seen at all (know one will know your wearing anything!) Our systems last up to a year with correct aftercare and maintenance.
If you fancy enhancing the method above by having more hair added to give you a little more thickness to the ends of your natural aswell you can add either 1 weft row onto the above system which gives you a lot more thickness and a much fuller look.
This is perfect for anyone whos hair is very short who isnt suffering from hair loss or thinning who is trying to grow out that awkward hair cut or whos hair has been damaged in the past and wants to give their natural hair a break, this system is the same as above but we can add a lot more thickness and length on to your natural hair by using our russian wefts which will give you a brand new look and transformation.

Notes 6 supports Microsoft Windows platforms, including Windows 95/98, Windows NT, 2000 and XP. In addition, the Notes client is available for Apple Computer Inc. Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X. The only downside we see is that Notes 6 still does not support a Linux-based Notes client. With the strong growth of the Linux desktop, I'd like to see the inclusion of Linux as a supported Notes platform. | 2019-04-22T04:29:28 | http://www.partillerocken.com/certs.php?exam=190-602 |
The pace of time is not a constant, but a variable. The pace of time does not carry the universe along at a constant cadence heard the same way by all living things. I have argued elsewhere at this website that the pace of time, like all things, is relative. Relative to what, you might ask.
The Theory of Special Relativity, developed by Einstein, Poincare, and Lorentz among others, holds that time is related to speed. The faster an object travels through the universe, the theory says, the slower its pace of time. As one’s speed approaches the speed of light, time slows considerably. And at the speed of light, time stands still.
I am not in a position to dispute that time slows down for something as it speeds up. And that is not my intention here. But I do have a different idea.
Perhaps the pace of time is related to size. A thing’s rate of time is relative to a thing’s physical size. Yes. Physical size is directly proportional to chronological size. I hypothesize that the larger a thing is physically, relative to me, the slower it’s time passes, relative to me. And likewise if a thing is much smaller than me, time passes for it much quicker than for me.
This does not mean that a flea sees it’s life as a super-sped-up movie, or that a mountain sees it’s life as in super slow motion. Each thing experiences what seems a perfectly normal rate of time. The events of the flea’s life happen at normal pace, according to the flea, and constitute a rich and long life of ups and downs and twists and turns, just like my life. It’s only when I look at the flea’s life does it seem like a super-sped-up movie. To the flea, the pace of time seems normal. And to the mountain, the pace of time seems normal. Pace of time is relative.
Now wait a minute. I have talked about how the mountain “sees it’s life” and how the pace of time “seems” to be normal for the mountain. These things suggest that the mountain is alive, that it can experience things, such as time.
Yup, that’s what I’m suggesting. All things are alive. In order for something to exist in time it must have a duration and in order for something to have a duration it must have a birth and a death and if something has a birth and a death than what happens in between is what we call life.
The Theory of Special Relativity gave rise to a new concept called “spacetime.” I am trying to give rise to a new definition of the word “lifetime.” I am hypothesizing that rather than connected to space, time is connected to life. And to go a step further, the size of a living organism is related to the duration of a living organism. Little things have short lives and big things have long lives, relatively speaking.
Wait a minute, the mountain is alive?
Yes. It’s just that the mountain is connected to something SO big that it moves at SUCH a relatively slow pace that it appears totally lifeless to us. But maybe, just maybe, humans are living inside another living thing. Maybe the mountain and the Earth are part of a living being that is so different in scale from us, so ridiculously bigger than us, that we can’t see it. We can’t understand how it could be true. That doesn’t mean it’s not true.
Imagine a microscopic organism living inside your body. No need to freak out at such a notion. It happens all the time. Things are living inside things all over this planet. It is the way of life that things live inside of and off of other living things.
So this microscopic organism living inside you; what would you look like to it? Well first, imagine that, from its perspective, it has a long and full life. It experiences time at the same pace that you do, from its perspective. And it has friends, just like you do, and a scientific community and a society and history and these little organisms have been studying their environment for generations and they have conceded that the world they live is is not alive. This is because the world they live in does not change fast enough for them to see. The world they live in does not fit their experience of what it means to be alive; does not first their definition of life.
This is a wild idea, but can you say that it could not be true?
If you believe that the pace of time could be different for different sizes of creatures, and that one thing’s understanding of another is relative to how close they are in scale, then it opens the door to the possibility that all things are living. If something exists in time then it has a life. | 2019-04-18T12:36:45 | https://relativeunderstanding.com/time-and-size-are-related/ |
In Exeter and Newton Abbot districts: predominantly brown horizontally-bedded gravel with subordinate lenticular beds of trough cross-bedded pebbly sand and sand. The gravel is composed of well-rounded pebbles, cobbles and boulders in a coarse to fine gravel and silty sand matrix. The clasts are mainly (84 to 90%) metaquartzite together with porphyry, vein quartz, tourmalinite, and feldspathic conglomerate. From just south of Hillhead (ST 067 136), locally derived Devonian and Carboniferous clasts begin to appear. Near Milverton, the Formation is massive calcareous conglomerate with limestone clasts.

Returning home from New Hampshire we stopped for the night in Henrietta, NY. In the morning we chased the LAL from the RGVRRM museum back into Henrietta, then went back to the museum to pick up my sunglasses which I realised in Henrietta I had left on the trunk.... they were present, on the road, and had miraculously not been run over. From there we went over to R&S' tracks, found them shiny but with no indication as to where or how far away a train was, and pushed on to Brockport on the Falls Road, which we followed fruitlessly back to Lockport where we found a CSX local leaving. From there we went to Depew, missed 3 as we approached, and caught 377 and 63. Back in Canada a few minutes later we caught CP 254 at Guelph Junction and watched VIA 87 while our pizza was baked at a nearby pizzeria. | 2019-04-22T08:38:34 | https://railfan.ca/cgi-bin/view.cgi?image=Guelph_Junction_11.05.09_6690.jpg |
Not all vacations are created equal, especially when traveling with children. It’s difficult in the best of circumstances to find activities that everyone in the family can enjoy together, but even more so when exploring a new place. Fortunately, you had the brilliant idea of planning your next vacation in Big Bear, one of the few destinations that offers exciting adventures that can be enjoyed by the entire family! And because we want you to have the best time during your stay, we’ve created this guide on ways to have fun in Big Bear with your kids. Keep reading for some ideas on happy adventures!
Big Bear is an all-American town,and there is nothing more American than the symbol of our country, the bald eagle. The Big Bear Alpine Zoo,found at 43285 Goldmine Drive, is home to Alaska and Valentine, two rescued bald eagles that can’t survive on their own.Located in a habitat designed to recreate their natural habitat,it’s the perfect spot to learn everything you never knew about these majestic birds. And if you have patience, consider signing up for the bald eagle course,where volunteers stake out spots where bald eagles are known to play.For an hour at a time, you will watch and record the bird’s behavior to help naturalists learn even more about the mighty bald eagle.
For a Fun Kid Friendly Big Bear Activity, Try Tubing!
Winter sports are popular in Big Bear, with skiing being the most popular of all. Unfortunately, skiing can be expensive and slightly dangerous for the less coordinated, and for families traveling with very young children, downright impossible to accomplish. Snow tubing, however, is an inexpensive kid friendly Big Bear activity you can enjoy with your tiny babies in tow (Aren’t the new generation of baby carriers wonderful?) and is as exhilarating as you remember! Grizzly Ridge Tube Park, Big Bear Snow Play, and the Alpine Slide at Magic Mountain are just three places you can get your snow fun on without expense or fear!
Located just a short drive around the lake from your Big Bear Vacations escape, the Big Bear Discovery Center is a place for outdoor lovers of all ages to fall in love! Offering guided nature hikes, picnic areas, and a Nature Discovery Zone for the wee ones in your traveling group, a visit to the center will enhance any vacation experience!
As the sun sets over the mountains, you will be tucked away in comfort and style when you choose Big Bear Vacations for your California getaway accommodations! Reserve yours today and enjoy the sense of family and warmth that is an integral part of all our vacation homes. | 2019-04-21T10:45:57 | https://www.bigbearvacations.com/blog/ways-to-have-fun-in-big-bear-with-kids/ |
The wine has a deep red colour on release. The wine has a concentrated forest floor, blackcurrant and dried herb aromas. The palate has intense blackcurrant and bramble flavours. Dried bay leaf, cassia wood and tobacco flavours add complexity to the palate. The palate is well balanced with supple tannins and long persistence. | 2019-04-25T04:46:03 | https://www.mountadam.com.au/?method=products.productDrilldown&productID=15D5185E-C239-5562-9246-A55A5BD60332&originalMarketingURL=product/2016-Mountadam-Eden-Valley-Cabernet-Sauvignon |
Alongside its concert series, the RPO embraces twenty-first-century opportunities, including appearances with pop stars and on video game, film and television soundtracks, whilst its artistic priority remains paramount: the making of great music at the highest level for the widest possible audience. This would have been lauded by its Founder and first conductor, Sir Thomas Beecham, who set up the RPO in 1946, leading a vital revival in the UK’s orchestral life after World War II.
Since then, the Orchestra’s principal conductors have included Rudolf Kempe, Antal Doráti, Walter Weller, André Previn, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Yuri Temirkanov, Daniele Gatti and Charles Dutoit; and its repertoire has encompassed every strand of music from the core classical repertoire to music of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and works by leading composers of recent years, such as Sir Peter Maxwell Davies and Sir John Tavener. Today, the RPO continues to work with artists of the highest calibre, including Pinchas Zukerman, its inspirational Principal Guest Conductor; Alexander Shelley, its dynamic young Principal Associate Conductor since January 2015, and its esteemed Permanent Associate Conductor, Grzegorz Nowak. The Orchestra is looking forward to appointing its next Artistic Director and Principal Conductor shortly.
International touring is vital to the Orchestra’s work, taking it to many prestigious destinations worldwide. Recent engagements include concerts at the festivals of Montreux, Lucerne and Granada, an extensive tour of the USA, and visits to central Europe and the Far East, including South Korea and China.
In 2018, RPO Resound, the Orchestra’s community and education programme, marks its twenty-fifth anniversary. Throughout its history it has thrived on taking music into the heart of the regions that the Orchestra serves. From Azerbaijan to Jamaica and from Shanghai to Scunthorpe, the team – comprising the majority of the Orchestra – has worked with young people, the homeless, recovering stroke patients (in the award-winning STROKESTRA project in Hull) and in settings ranging from the Sea Life London Aquarium to hospitals, orphanages and children’s hospices.
In 1986, the RPO became the first UK orchestra to launch its own record label. The Orchestra has embraced digital advances and continuing its tradition of entrepreneurial innovation, in 2017 the RPO teamed up with the concert-enhancing app, EnCue by Octava, becoming the first orchestra in Europe to offer its audiences real-time programme notes for selected performances delivered to their mobile or tablet devices. The Orchestra has become increasingly active on social media platforms, inviting audiences to engage informally on Facebook and Twitter (@rpoonline) and to enjoy behind-the-scenes insights on the RPO website (www.rpo.co.uk), YouTube (RPOOnline) and Instagram (@RPOOnline).
As the RPO proudly looks to its future, its versatility and high standards mark it out as one of today’s most open-minded, forward-thinking symphony orchestras. | 2019-04-18T20:25:48 | https://bachtrack.com/performer/royal-philharmonic-orchestra |
OCEANIA/PAPUA NEW GUINEA - The Bishops for Independence Day: "Proud to be a people and a nation"
Port Moresby - "During this day let us reflect on the blessings we have received as a Country. We must thank God for the journey undertaken. We are proud of being a people, a nation and a country": said Fr. Victor Roche, SVD, Secretary General of the Episcopal Conference of Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, on the occasion of the 43rd Independence Day of Papua New Guinea, which occurs on Sunday 16 September.
As in previous years, the event will be colored by a variety of activities. From folk dances, to singing, to music and to art and craft initiatives. The national colors of the country will be seen everywhere. As Fides learns, Fr. Victor, expressing the vision of the Catholic episcopate, said: "For many centuries we have lived in our small communities and villages hidden from the outside world. Today, finally, thanks to our ancestors we are connected to the rest of the world community as a single nation". The Secretary thanked God for the progress made in Papua New Guinea in terms of infrastructure and human resources and also spoke of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting to be held in November 2018. "We wish the Prime Minister and his government all the best - he said - in this great venture. This is an important opportunity for us to show the rest of the world that we are a mature and independent country".
On the occasion of Independence Day, the Bishops exhort everyone to be "responsible citizens", to stop acts of vandalism, crime and corruption, inviting citizens to nurture "the feeling of national unity" and the search for the common good. | 2019-04-24T07:02:21 | http://demo.blogmaster.net/post-oceaniapapua-new-guinea-the-bishops-for-independence-day-proud-to-546381.html |
Heritage Tourism is a billion dollar industry and a generator of many service/retail type jobs (which Cincinnati could use with a large under-educated population).
But we do virtually nothing to promote what we have. No major advertising campaigns to try and snare a well educated, well traveled, demographic who goes to places like Charleston, Savannah, San Francisco, to see the architecture and history preserved.
Excellent post. The mix of topography and great architecture, even the generic vernacular architecture, is special.
There is no support for preserving Cincinnnati because the WWII generation was brainwashed into believing that Cincinnati was "old" and should be bulldozed. The bulldozers were cheered on, they coudln't come fast enough. I still hear old people suggest tearing down the whole city. Old Cincinnatians don't think that the city is special in any way.
Weren't old people everywhere this way to some degree? What is it that makes Cincinnati unable to see what places like Boston or Savannah have seen?
"old people"...what about their kids, who are adults now.
Not likely. I'm 50 years old and never had a problem getting along with the World War One or World War Two generations while growing up and living in New England. Even as an adult this was true.
Fast forward to the last decade while living in the Kansas City area. Another matter entirely. The people in my generation and older are messed up. At least most of the natives are. We're from different planets. Can't relate to them at all because we are physiologically completely different and come from different cultures. Sadly, I converse better with 20 somethings here than my own generation.
I've found that the Cincy area has some great neighborhoods and architecture that seems to have been saved. Covington has a lot of great old homes and buildings that are being fixed up and this seems to indicate a sincere interest in preserving local history as well as structures of historical interest or importance. I don't see much of this in the KC area but I guess that is because it is a newer city and has far less older architectural gems as a city like Cincy.
I can only offer the experience of older people I've known, none of whom lived in Boston or Savannah. But I look at my parents, their siblings, and even my grandparents, and all of them wanted new-new-new. Perhaps that's a reaction to living through the Depression, or to earning working class wages. As soon as either of my grandmothers, or some of my older aunts and uncles, could afford a new sofa, or a new dining room table, or new kitchen appliances, they bought them. My grandparents never moved out of their homes, but their kids did, and moved to the 'burbs where the houses were new.
My younger aunts and uncles -- the ones just a few years older than me -- tended more to move into older houses and fix them up, and treasure family heirlooms and antiques, and were only too glad to haul away what Grandma decided was "too old" for her.
>What is it that makes Cincinnati unable to see what places like Boston or Savannah have seen?
Well I think the historic areas in Boston and Savannah, specifically, can be recognized as being such by average people. The North End and Charleston and Beacon Hill are pretty obviously unique. The famous part of Charleston is also quite obviously unique.
Aside from Mt. Adams I don't think the historic areas in Cincinnati are completely distinct from something that exists elsewhere. Over-the-Rhine is obviously a lot like Brooklyn and other areas of New York City. And actually the architectural style is a lot like the North End although the North End obviously has twisting narrow streets.
It's really not tough to imagine tourist bus tours leaving Fountain Square showing off OTR, Dayton St., Clifton Gaslight, Northside, Spring Grove Cemetery, North Avondale, East Walnut Hills, Key's Crescent and other east side mansion streets, Hyde Park, Mt. Adams, Newport Mansion Hill, and the Covington Riverfront. That's at least a 2 hour if not 3 hour tour.

In New England people like old, old, or older. Preserving the areas Colonial architecture and history is of paramount importance to virtually every community. My home town of Simsbury, CT has several homes that pre date the 1800's that were built during and prior to the American Revolution. Years ago my aunt and uncle had some friends that bought a home in Branford which is a suburb of New Haven. That home was built in 1711.
While Cincy may not have the Colonial era architecture it still has a lot of great stuff from the 1800's that should be preserved for future generations.
Apparently we did have a handful of colonial-ish early 1800s buildings in the West End where the public housing and I-75 is now. When City Hall was built, that point was the center of the basin, and the lost residential area just to its west was apparently quite eclectic architecturally. The suviving "City Hall West" blocks between Central Ave. and John St. give some indication as to what was lost, which tended to be single family town homes of a very high quality.
We tend to think that what was lost in that area was simply a continuation of OTR or more of what survives in the West End around Dayton St. when apparently it was something quite different. So we did really lose a piece of the city's architectural lineage. The smear campaign devised to get the public angry at the west end was based in zero facts whatsoever, aside from the part of the neighborhood that was actually vulnerable to flooding, which was the poor section down by Dalton St. When we hear "West End" today the insinuation was that it was always poor, when the parts above the flood plain were apparently quite attractive.
....a good example of older architecture in that western area would be the Betts House and one of the houses across the street. Betts is very early 1800s, but there is a perhaps 1820s-era townhouse in the row of houses across the way. | 2019-04-24T18:48:13 | http://www.city-data.com/forum/cincinnati/1769065-cincinnati-needs-some-originality-6.html |

While it is not unusual for big investment banks to buy bankrupt countries' debts, the latest Goldman Sachs purchase raised more eyebrows than usual because it came as Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro's regime is facing massive street protests, which have left nearly 60 dead in recent weeks, and amid growing international pressures for the restoration of democracy in that country.
Julio Borges, the president of Venezuela's opposition-majority National Assembly, fired an angry letter to Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein on May 29, saying that the bank's "financial lifeline to the regime will serve to strengthen the brutal repression unleashed against the hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans peacefully protesting for political change."
Borges wrote that considering "the irregular nature" of the transaction and the "absurd financial terms of the deal in detriment of Venezuela and its people," the Venezuelan Congress will open an investigation into the case. He added that he will recommend "to any future democratic government of Venezuela not to recognize or pay these bonds."
Harvard University economics professor Ricardo Hausmann, a former Venezuelan planning minister and chief economist of the Inter-American Development Bank, says that what Goldman Sachs has done "is the equivalent of financing a dictatorship."
"Goldman Sachs has in effect purchased ‘hunger bonds,’" he told me. "The reputational damage to Goldman Sachs will be greater than the financial benefits of this operation."
Days before the report about the Goldman Sachs purchase, Hausmann had written a column criticizing JP Morgan's Emerging Market Bond Index for its trading in Venezuelan debt. While Venezuela represents only 5 percent of that JP Morgan index, it accounts for a sizable part of its yield, because the possibility of a Venezuelan default raises its risk premium.
Hausmann says investors are deceiving themselves if they think they are not doing anything wrong and are just buying Venezuelan debt in hopes that Maduro will fall. Once Maduro falls or leaves power, those investors will be on the wrong side of democracy, because they will be rooting for preferential payment of the debt incurred by Maduro's corrupt regime, instead of wanting a new government to start investing in the country's reconstruction.
"If you are a decent human being, investing in Venezuelan bonds should make you feel ‘mildly nauseous,’" Hausmann said, borrowing a phrase recently used by former FBI Director James Comey in his testimony to Congress.
Hausmann conceded it would be unrealistic — and unfair to other emerging countries in that fund — to demand that investors stop buying them, because Venezuela accounts for only a tiny part of them. The solution is for people to press JP Morgan to drop Venezuela from its emerging markets funds, he said.
My opinion: Fortunately, a lot has changed for the better since some isolated voices started to preach for socially responsible investments in the 18th century, and the idea was embraced by growing numbers of people in the 1960s. Today, investors — especially millennials — are much more conscious about investing in companies and countries that respect the environment, and don't suppress civil or political rights.
We cannot prohibit greedy investors without a social conscience from buying Venezuelan bonds if they want to gamble with their money and risk a Venezuelan default. But we can name and shame the banks that profit from rescuing repressive regimes like Venezuela's. And we should do it until the banks realize that it's not worth the headache. | 2019-04-20T18:35:43 | https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/news-columns-blogs/andres-oppenheimer/article153315089.html |

Hocker said the monument is made primarily of marble and limestone with a brass plaque.
“It really is a gorgeous monument,” Hocker said. “As part of Crawford 20/20 Vision, we are reaching out to the other historical societies and trying to get to know one another a little bit better.
The monument cleaning begins at 10 a.m. Saturday.
LHA director Mike Buettner sent info and images from a Mid-Ohio Chapter/Lincoln Highway Association work day a few weeks ago. The original brick pillar that is one mile east of Oceola (Crawford County) was in dire need of repair. Saturday, led by Richard Taylor, members of the chapter did those repairs.
Train equipment on display included offbeat equipment such as a velocipede, pocket watches, and the bell from president Lincoln’s funeral train. Antique vehicles included a 1916 Maxwell truck and 1930 Ford Model A coupe. | 2019-04-21T23:27:14 | https://lincolnhighwaynews.com/tag/bucyrus-oh/ |
Developers eager to have their apps in the iPad App Store when the iPad launches need to get their work completed and submitted to Apple by 5 PM, Saturday, March 27. Of course, none of the developers actually have an iPad, so they will have to test their work using the simulator in the iPhone SDK 3.2, beta 5. It’s bad enough the apps won’t be tested on actual hardware, but they will be tested on a beta simulator to boot. Users shouldn’t be surprised if the first apps they install have bugs. Hopefully the update process for apps will be very quick. As stated in this post on The Official Apple Weblog, Apple probably does not have much of a choice with such a short period of time between now and the launch. I had the impression that iPhone apps would run on the iPad, so if that is the case, won’t there be plenty of apps in the store at launch? | 2019-04-25T23:23:15 | https://www.adweek.com/digital/apple-now-accepting-ipad-apps/ |

Ross Gittins describes the CSIRO’s first Australian National Outlook report as “heroic” and “fair dinkum”. It does what the Government Intergenerational Report failed to do. It takes account of the effects of climate change and environmental sustainability.
The report says we can have dynamic economic growth simultaneously with sustainable resource use and reduced environmental stress, but only if we make the right choices collectively. Policy matters.
Ross Gittins has provided an explanation of the methodology used and a summary of the main findings. Links to the report may be found here as well as a link to the article in Nature. I’ll just highlight a few aspects.
Average incomes will rise by up to 66% if average working hours decline another 11% over the next four decades, in line with recent trends, and rise by 75% or more if there is no decline in working hours.
Limiting global warming to 2 degrees above pre-industrial levels by 2100 requires “very strong” efforts to “abate” (reduce) emissions. Australia must act in concert with other nations. In 1990 our per capita emissions were five times the world average.
We find Australia can reduce its per capita emissions to the world average by 2050, while maintaining strong economic growth and increasing exports from our energy-intensive industries. Australia could meet even the most stringent of long term targets, such as zero net emissions by 2050, without relying on international offsets.
because carbon sequestration becomes more profitable than beef and other agricultural production across large areas of Australia (up to 58 Mha, or 70% of the intensive-use zone).
In other words, growing trees becomes more profitable than running cattle.
While admitting that the cascading effects of climate change on agricultural production are not clear, they still expect volumes to rise by at least 50% by 2050. Prices should also rise as global supply falls behind the growth in global demand.
driven by increased population, economic growth, and new carbon plantings. This growth in demand can be met while enhancing non-agricultural water security, without increasing pressure on water-limited catchments, through water recycling, desalination and integrated catchment management.
The say that energy and transport affordability can be maintained or improved.
Energy efficiency can help offset higher unit electricity prices, but we find better management of peak demand and our transmission and distribution networks could yield the greatest benefits. By 2050, electric vehicles and biofuels could reverse our mounting transport fuel imports, as well as reducing costs, improving air quality, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The ‘energy-water-food nexus’ and the prospects for Australia’s materials- and energy-intensive industries.
I’m sure in 20 years’ time, this CSIRO modelling will look very crude. Right now, however, it’s a wonder of the modern world.

HAMPDEN-SYDNEY, VA-Excitement is brewing for basketball season as the Tigers have just been named the #23 team in the nation in D3hoops.com's Preseason Poll. The news comes recently after junior forward and 2010 ODAC Rookie of the Year Harrison George (Raleigh, NC/Leesville) was named a Fourth Team Preseason All-American.
"While we are excited to be mentioned among the Preseason Top-25, we are more concerned with the final ranking," commented head coach Dee Vick. "We have a chance to be very good with a blend of productive, experienced players and several promising newcomers."
The Tigers return nearly every contributor - including four starters - from last season's 17-10 team. The Tigers had a strong finish to the 2010-11 season, winning seven of their last eight regular season games. The late season streak included two wins over nationally ranked opponents in #19 Ferrum (87-83) and #6 Virginia Wesleyan (80-71).
Led by senior captains Ben Jessee (Midlothian, VA/Cosby) and Ru White (Chesterfield, VA/L.C. Bird), the Tigers will seek an ODAC-record 11th conference championship. It will be no easy task, however, as ODAC-rival Virginia Wesleyan has earned D3hoop.com's top spot. Randolph-Macon and Eastern Mennonite are also both receiving votes.
"The ODAC will always remain our top focus," added Vick. "Our league has proven that if you can finish in the top two or three then you will likely have a shot at the post season."
As a conference, the ODAC has risen to national prominence placing two teams in the tournament last season and four teams in the 2010 Tournament. In 2010, three reached the Sweet Sixteen and two were in the Final Four.
Hampden-Sydney will hit the hardwood November 18-19 in the Huntingdon College Classic. The Tigers will face LaGrange on the 18th and Huntingdon on the 19th.

I was surprised too, Karen! We hadn’t really explored the home decor side of Amazon, but they really carry a lot of things!
I really love the farmhouse look.
We’re currently trying to add more farmhouse decor to our home.
My hubby is even helping me make a farmhouse inspired reclaimed pallet coat rack for the entry.
I’ll be checking these items out on Amazon, I especially love the galvanized tray, the boxwood, and the our nest pillow.
Oh, how fun your pallet coat rack sounds! I’m trying to talk my husband into helping me make a farmhouse-style table! 🙂 Those items you mentioned are on my wish-list too!
All cute choices! I can’t wait for the tour!! | 2019-04-25T03:57:36 | https://www.artfulhomemaking.com/favorite-farmhouse-finds/ |
Ramon-If you like Chinese food, the BEST place I have found is actually not in Belgrano but on Tagle (entre Las Heras y Libertador). It is always full of Chinese (so thats a good sign) and if you live closer intown, its also more convenient.
ahh yeah, Shi Shuan rocks the hood!!!!!!
Ba Joe and Nikad will you be there tomorrow night, Look forward to meeting you guys for the first time . It looks like it will be a great event.
Yes I want to go. Unfortunately I already had something else to do at the same time. These dinners usually are on Thursdays or Fridays which would have been better, since most other things are Mon-Weds. Now I have to juggle things around. Hope I can make it to see you there. | 2019-04-20T11:07:51 | https://baexpats.org/threads/dinner-at-elvira-hancock.1776/ |

Our wedding experience from preparation to actual day had been a great one, with very much thanks to Amperian team. We met Yanling and Yuling during our 1st meet up and briefly told them that we really like the 80s nostalgic theme for our wedding. Throughout the meeting they were patient, listening to our needs. They also help us out by reminding us on certain aspects of the wedding preparation by asking us “Have you done this? Have you done that?” Appreciate that! Within weeks, we received their proposed moodboard, with their conceptualisation ideas exceeding our expectations as they added their personal touch to it. It was almost nothing that we wanted to change. The whole wedding decor, flower bouquet, right down to the boutonnière were absolutely stunning on how they worked their magic using wild flowers. Yuling even went to the extend of sourcing the amazing wedding props herself, giving the wedding theme of nostalgic with a twist of pop. We have received positive feedbacks from our guests as well. We would like to give our gratitude to them for the actual day as the team braved through the heavy rain to make sure things were set up without a miss so that our solemnisation and dinner starts on time. We could see their professionalism towards all other vendors and feel their sincerity written on the team members’ faces. To simply say that Yanling, Yuling and the rest of Amperian team are the best would be an understatement, and we thank them for giving us the perfect wedding experience!
You are all champions, angels and magicians. You are truly the best!
Words can't describe how grateful we are. Amperian did wonders and magic for us. In just a short span of 2.5 weeks they managed to conceptualize, design and develop our wedding experience at CHIJMES and made it look like it came out from a fairy tale story. Yanling was very patient. She advised us on the designs and plans and took great care of everything. Yanling and her team worked their hearts out for our wedding which really surprised us when we saw what they did at the venue for the first time. Stunning, beautiful, spectacular and dazzling. They made sure all the tiny details were well taken care of. We had a lot of last minute requests, but despite all that they still exceeded our expectations. We felt so bad and yet thankful for what they did. We couldn't find any vendor for our wedding favours but Yanling took care of it at the last minute when all hope seemed lost. It turned out to be beautiful macarons wrapped nicely in a very pretty box and all our guests loved it. We made the right choice to engage Amperian for our wedding and they helped us to make our special day so awesome!!!
We're super grateful to Yanling, Yuling & the team at Amperian! We were definitely very clueless and Yanling gave us loads of helpful advice along the way and definitely reduced our stress levels on wedding planning/prep. Beyond styling the restaurant and the outdoor solemnisation, the team also helped us greatly by liaising with the furniture rental vendor, AV vendor and even a generator vendor (which we had to rent at the last minute because there was no electrical point at the outdoor solemnisation venue). Our wedding decor was absolutely everything we wanted and MORE. It’s amazing how the theme was seamless for both the outdoor solemnisation and the restaurant décor! The extra touches to make the solemnisation backdrop not too typical with hanging tassels and macrame in our theme colours and lots of personalised and handmade décor. We were blown away by the extra mile taken by the team. Thank you again for styling our wedding and making it a dream come true.

The purpose of the parenthetical citation is to lead the reader to an exact item in the bibliography, so the first entry in the bibliography (usually author’s last name, sometimes title if no author is listed) is what is included in the parenthetical citation. Additionally, the exact point (page number) is listed.
Plagiarism is using the words, thoughts, or ideas of someone else without giving credit. Plagiarism can take many forms, and it can be intentional or accidental.
"Along with using someone’s direct words without quotation marks and attribution, plagiarism includes using someone’s thoughts or ideas and representing them as one’s own. For example, if you were to change the wording of a passage, but not credit the source, you are plagiarizing as much as if you used the original words. This presents something of a conundrum: students are required to use the research and writing of others, but such use is limited. In most research assignments, students are encouraged – or even required – to use the research of others, but proper credit must be given.
A bibliography or works cited provides readers with the author, title and publication details of a source, whereas an annotated bibliography adds a brief summary, or annotation, about each source (book, magazine, journal, etc.). Placed just below the facts of the publication, the annotation describes the content of the work so that future reference to the entry by a researcher will provide essential data.
When writing the annotation, provide enough information in approximately three to five sentences for readers to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the source's purpose, content, and special value. Be sure to use complete sentences and to avoid wordiness.
List the completed bibliographical citation.
Explain the main purpose of the work.
Indicate the possible audience for the work.
Evaluate the relevance of the information.
Warn readers of any defect, weakness, or bias.
Annotations take different forms, depending on the type of source and on the audience. Articles are often argumentative; in these instances, the writer should incorporate the author's position on the particular issue being addressed. The writer may choose to include quotes and/ or references to individuals or to specific experiments for emphasis.
In longer works, the material may often be more referential than argumentative in nature. In these cases, the writer may choose to give a brief chapter-by-chapter sketch or to focus on one or two chapters. The focus of the annotation is dependent upon the focus of the paper.

Late in 2010, at the age of 59, I was told I was cancer free, and for the first time in my life I was pain free from a chronic illness, Crohn’s Disease that had plagued me since birth. In gratitude, I had the overwhelming desire to give something back to this wonderful world. My art and the life lessons that had taught me how to cope and enjoy life no matter what, were the two most valuable things I had to offer. But how to begin?
In 2011 I met woman in the UCLA Medical Center surgical waiting room. I was waiting for my older son to come out of brain surgery and she was waiting to hear whether her husband would ever walk again. We traded life stories trying to distract and encourage each other. Hearing that I was an artist, she grabbed her ipad to see my website. She asked me about this painting and that and while explaining them events in my life tumbled forth.
“You ought to write an autobiography.” she suggested.
“But I’ve already painted one.” I replied. And then it hit me “Oh my God, that’s brilliant. I never heard of an art book like that!” It had never occurred to me to publish an art book that spoke more to life lessons than to art and yet her idea was the perfect venue for me to give back.
1. I could offer a positive way for others to approach health problems and deep loss. 2. I could de-mystify art and the creative process. 3. I could share my joy of life. 4. I could expose my art work so that it may inspire other artists. 5. I could offer hope when all seemed hopeless. 6. I could campaign for trust to defeat fear. 7. And I could honor the need I had to contribute after all I had gained from others.
My son’s surgery was a success. The woman’s husband would walk again. And it seemed I would be writing an autobiography with my art.
It is my hope that this book will help those of you who have been living with a chronic illness find a way to gain valuable insights from your suffering that will enrich your quality of life. To become a student of life rather than a victim. For those of you who have been diagnosed with cancer, I sincerely hope that you will be able to see past the fear to your strength and the strength so abundant offered by your loved ones, and sometimes even strangers. And, for those of you who have or are suffering through a divorce, I hope this book encourages you to continue to live with an open heart, honor the connection you once shared and move on. I encourage you to take the high road and pray (in your own way) for a loving future for your ex-spouse and yourself rather than wallow in anger and in the past. For those who have lost a loved one, know you are strong enough to mourn and live to hold that person alive in your heart, giving both your lives meaning. If the words in this book can help you believe that even the worst experiences are rich with gifts that can make your life better, then I have accomplished my goal.
As an artist, I now understand that art is not a lofty process. It is just one of the ways human beings play on this earth. If reading the explanation of my creative process enables you to enjoy art, rather than feel mystified by it, then this book has made art more accessible. And for that, I am grateful.
“The Girls” was taken from a photo of women synchronize swimmers. In this particular case their heads were just above water. As you might imagine from the candid, forthcoming way I write this book, my friends and I do not edit much when sharing our feelings and experiences. I saw the underwater “dance” as a metaphor. Each girl friend was a dancer navigating their way through marriage. Our role as confidents acted like life preservers for each other, keeping our heads barely above water. I was grateful for that support.
In the painting, each woman’s body is unique, a different shape, attitude, strength and style which celebrated their individuality. As I painted them I thought of my many friends; Kristen’s gesture, Nancy’s flair for the dramatic, etc. Yet they were all wearing the same bathing suite, united. At times I would let myself lose track of whose foot belonged where, blending their individuality into sameness. At one point I literally had to count how many feet I had painted, and found that there were eleven. That required editing.
I used drawing media such as pastel and conte along with the paint, striving to keep the gestures spontaneous and avoid the figures becoming static. The color that surrounded the women could not be the same as the negative space between them. It was “them” together floating in the environment. Had I slipped the same color as the background between them, they would lose connection. This choice I did not fully understand when I painted it. However, my artistic instinct is boss while I paint. It usually knows the color, treatment and composition way before I become aware of the reason. In fact, it wasn’t until this moment, as I recall what it felt like to paint this piece, that I understand the need was to hold the women together to communicate “being afloat in unity”.
The water line and the treatment of the reflection was my address to the state of distortion in my home life. Unstable, constantly wavering, painfully reflective, often obliterating the sense of self. The division between the two worlds was an abrupt boundary. I even knew to turn the painting upside down to paint the reflection, essentially creating a separate painting on the same canvas.
As I painted the reflection, I allowed my hand to distort size, shape, and placement of the different arms, legs, and bodies. This surreal, wavering world was the one I was negotiating through when I was not keeping myself entertained and distracted. The light that obliterates some of the figures and the water line reminded me of that frightening moment when you’re driving and look through your dirty windshield and suddenly the sun shines through it and blinds you. An adrenaline rush.
I used iridescent metallic paint in the reflection. This was not a choice I would have made years ago as a serious LA artist. Back then I had adhered to tabus echoing around the art world. But as I turned fifty in Sonoma County, an internal confidence grew side by side with irreverence. My art was becoming an unbridled extension of myself. If I felt like using glitter or children’s stickers, well, so be it.
This underwater painting was one of several in a series that resonated for me because I could see how my whole life I had been afflicted with pain, like being in a restricted, constricted environment. Like being underwater and having to hold your breath. Yet, like my illness, the limitations also allowed me to negotiate through that environment in my own special way. As a child I had to come to terms with being attacked by pain at any moment, yet still found ways to be glad I was alive. Swimming underwater with my girlfriend next door, we used to pretend that we could fly and the bottom of the pool was the earth and the water was the sky. We flew for hours in that pool.
And many years later, having lived half a century, I finally recognized that my inner child had found remarkable ways to deal with adversity. I admired that little girl in the pool. The entire underwater series was, in essence, a tribute to the child who taught me how to cope. I fell in love with her...learning to love myself. | 2019-04-24T20:01:12 | http://artbyknopf.com/book.html |

Yel p, TA, Iluv Inns, etc.
We had a lovely phone call yesterday "Hi....this is (NAME) and we're reaching out (such a non-threatening, warm-and-fuzzy term...)to (your property) from Yel p! Are you familiar with us? Blah blah blah. OOOOOO...they can give us a premium position for only $300/month. So tempted.....not.
Another beauty from ILuv about why we haven't renewed. If we do we'll get a bogo package worth up to $2100 so we can cut into YOUR B&Bs cashflow ! Hmmm....business 12 years....maybe took in 4-5 BOGOs here....not quite stellar ROI.
We've been called by Book ing.com too. Not convinced.
We DO have a listing with that much bally-hoode B&B.com, but it's funny that we get few (if any) reservations directly from that, but a couple come in each month from the Exped ia/Hot els.com crossover link. We "convert" about 90% of these reservations via follow-up phone confirmations, bypassing the 30% commission.
Everybody wants a piece of our cash-flow and thinks they are the greatest thing since sliced bread. They spew forth "data" like so many hits on our "free listing", inquiries into our zip code, etc. Funny, our reservation process asks these questions and FEW guests come because of YEL P, TA, or ILuv. Those who cited these wouldn't provide enough revenue to validate using these portals.
Anyone have input fresh about this?
I do find out that the longer you hold out the lower the price goes with many of these listings. Lov toes cape wanted £150, we finally settled on £60.
The argument that annoys me is "It will only take 1 booking and it will pay for itself". Great!!! I'll pay to be on 1000 different websites, have 100% occupancy and I'll go bust within a year. Brilliant business model.
I got the latest TA email with 'call us'. Well I have to say thanks, I'd rather delete an email than get the annoying phone calls.
About these listings - it works for some or they would not exist. Some markets are driven by these listings, others are not.
I have tried many of them, most was wasted money not even recouping the money spent but now I can honestly say 'your business did not work for mine' and I can move on. Hopefully not to be suckered in by some 'grand' sells tactic again.
BB.com is the only one I can say has produced, not to the extent I feel they should, but enough to keep paying for now. And it is used as link love as well.
I have renewed on the least expensive of THE Directories for one more year, more than anything for the "shotgun" marketing approach - and that is the only shell in the shotgun. The rest I am target marketing to see what happens that way this year. Not paying to list on any of the above.
I have found that 'reaching out' is code for 'my hand is out'.
In this area a couple of places buy every high end listing out there. Diamond, SR, TA, etc. They do have about 10 - 15% more biz than I have and one of them charges an average of $75/ night more.
For some people it works.
I guess if ta starts listing properties based on how much they make off the property rather than by the ranking, it might become necessary to consider it.
We are listed on TA in the Specialty Lodging category, which is easily overlooked by folks perusing TA for a place to stay. If somebody does happen to find us, buried as we are, and decides that we are the place for them based on what they see and read on our listing, chances are they are smart enough to just google to find our own site and make contact that way. If somebody is going to pass us by and move on to the next listing just because we don't have a web link or "click to book now" link right there on our TA listing, then they probably are not our target customer anyway.
Given all that, along with our relatively small size, we just can't justify the cost of TA's "business listing" (which is relatively high since we are in a somewhat competitive market here). | 2019-04-21T06:23:31 | http://www.innspiring.com/node/14248 |
