“Justin snatches up another log and tosses it on the fire, a little too roughly, sending a gnat clod of sparks into the air. The wood is dry and porous and a few seconds later the flames rise up in a gentle roar, playing orange light across the canyon walls and into the darker corners of the forest. Out of which steps the bear.

When I was little, I made a bunch of single panel cartoons and called the series “AWOL.” I would print out a template. As you can see, I was a hilarious child.
I just had a wonderful time performing one of my pirate epics, “Luc Le Reutte,” at the Out Of The Blue Art Gallery in Cambridge, MA. I’m so thrilled that so many people showed up and it was an incredible night! Thanks everyone!

The LDA is pleased to announce that the Lyme bill, HR 4701, July 23, 2014 version, passed with voice vote out of the Energy & Commerce Committee, today, July 30.
The battle for passage of this bill began early this year when LDA met with House leadership to present objections to a vector-borne diseases bill from being introduced in the House Health Subcommittee that would have covered Lyme disease but had no representation at all from patients and physicians and would not have covered other tick-borne diseases because of incidence rates. The LDA provided language changes which provided patient input and transparency. The bill was brought before the Subcommittee, but an amendment in the nature of a substitute was offered and passed out instead—a substitute that was dangerous for patients.
The LDA led a nationwide campaign to bring back patient friendly language and had a letter signed by 154 groups nationwide stating what was necessary from a patient perspective which was sent to all of the Members of the Energy & Commerce Committee. We then worked with Mr. Gibson and the Committee to change the language to produce a bill which will help provide a research agenda for Lyme and other tick-borne diseases including evaluating chronic or persistent infection and co-infections.
The LDA thanks Mr. Gibson, bill sponsor; Mr. C. Smith; and Mr. Upton and all of the Committee members who supported the bill. We also thank our partner groups who were instrumental in the effort to pass this legislation, and all Lyme groups across the country, patients, and other groups who worked on this effort. The next step for the bill is to go to the House floor, which will probably occur sometime after the summer Congressional recess.
Day 2 video (7/30), bill voting, is in the second video box, begins at 33:20.
Using a food processor, shred the cabbage and rice the cauliflower. If using frozen riced cauliflower, defrost 1 cup. Heat coconut oil in large saute pan. Add onion plus 1/4 tsp salt and cook until onion softens, about 3 minutes. Add shredded cabbage (you might have to do this in batches). Once all the cabbage is in the saute pan, stir in ginger, spices and remaining salt.Then add peas and cauliflower and mix gently to combine. Top with lemon before serving.
REPOST – PLEASE NOTE DATE CHANGES We’ve just finished the Las Vegas Conference & Trade Show and we’re now looking at upcoming programs for 2014. Two new educational programs have recently been announced by The ESOP Association. Mark your calendars for the Professional ESOP Forum and Banks with ESOPs Seminar. Additional information will be posted to the Association’s website as it becomes available. We look forward to seeing you again in February 2014.
Led by the Chairs of the highly respected Association Advisory Committees on Valuation, Finance, Legislative and Regulatory Affairs, Administration, Ownership Culture and Fiduciary Issues, this one day program will lay bare the tough issues facing ESOP professionals, and present the pros and cons of different views. The goal is not only to air different view-points, but to move towards consensus as to “best practices” by the ESOP service provider community.
A special seminar on the unique challenges of creating and operating an ESOP sponsored by a bank or similar regulated financial entity. The seminar will be led by ESOP Association Advisory Committee leaders with extensive experience helping regulated financial institutions navigate the laws and regulations governing ESOP plans.

It is my birthday in a few days and this crazy Capricorn ( that is : Moi ) was lucky to live one more year. :rofl: How about you? When is your birthday?
P.S. Your fave player is Messi ( bien sur) . Is it because of his skills or maybe cause you two share the same birth name?

I've had a few enquiries about my personal life.
I am single, in good health, heterosexual and support Marriage Equality (Gay Marriage). I am not vegan/vegetarian. I am a light meat eater, mostly fish. I believe all life should be respected and that plants are 'alive'.
Anyone can be creative. Without it we couldn't adapt to a new situation or the unknown. I worked for more than a decade as a Music and Arts therapist in Australia in the 1980's with traumatised teens and adult professionals. Part of the work was to conduct clinical research into 'Creativity' to formalise therapeutic use in Public Health systems across the globe.
The images from the CybaFaeries and WolfDragons CD come from my Sami family culture. Sami, sometimes referred to as indigenous Europeans or Fairy's, come from the northern Norway / Sweden / Finland area going back some 8000 years BCE.
My family language of Northern Sami was illegal for 200 years up until 1958.
80min feature documentary about the underground dance style called the MELBOURNE SHUFFLE from 1990-2010, by Garry Shepherd.
This is the first set in a new Art Print collection called URBAN, based on still video images taken around Melbourne Australia in the early 1990's.
I'm currently preparing a set of prints for sale thru Imagekind, which I'm planning to have published on this site with links to the print order site, within the next week or so.
The images are from Video footage I took in the early-mid 1990's around Melbourne and are being enhanced with video colour processing. I used this camera (pic below) mostly, a Panasonic MS1, SuperVHS, seen here below retired to my Nicholas Building display case 2005 - With dust and grunge on the case glass which I should of cleaned off before taking the pic :-) I've removed the camera shell to show the tape transport mechanism.
They are still frames, which is kinda odd, seeing as video essentially captures motion. Normally you'd use a stills camera to take still photos.

Rotary shaft seals are applied for sealing rotating machinery parts. Essentially, they consist of a rubber portion, a stiffening metal sheet and a garter spring.
The rubber elastomer outer covering tolerates thermal expansion as well as roughness in the housing bore. There will be no fretting corrosion. Furthermore, damage of the housing bore will be prevented when frequently replacing the seal. This qualifies for sealing gaseous or liquid media.
Suggesting a song for consolation is a great idea. We have visceral, deeply emotional reactions to music, and music helps us release tension in a crisis.
You say in your excellent book that your mentors are the stories behind many of your great stories. In mentoring and helping others, you are very likely the subject of many of their great stories.
Maddie Hinch and her England team-mates should be proud of their Hockey Women’s World Cup exploits, according to their head coach.
The West Chiltington-based goalkeeper’s dreams of adding another medal to her collection were extinguished last Thursday night as they were knocked out at the quarter-final stage.
The hosts nation suffered a 2-0 defeat to defending champions Netherlands at the Lee Valley Hockey Centre in London.
Lidewij Welten opened the scoring for the Dutch in the first quarter and Laurien Leurink then doubled the lead early in the second half as the world number one side dominated.
The Dutch went on to beat Australia in the semi-finals and then overcame shock finaliasts Ireland with a crushing 6-0 victory in Sunday’s final to retain their crown.
It wasn’t the tournament England were expecting after drawing their opening two Pool B matches. They then beat Ireland to finish second in the group, but had to beat South Korea in the crossover game to make the main knockout stages.
Head coach Danny Kerry, however, defended his team’s performance and pointed to the difficulties they had faced.
He said: “I told the players I was really proud. We have had a tough tournament with injury and for all sorts of reasons.
“One of our players played the entire tournament with a broken big toe but they all grit it out and carried on.
Hinch won Olympic gold on 2016 and Commonwealth Games bronze in Australia earlier this year.

10 - On The Geological Succession of Organic Beings 10-05 - On Extinction 10 We have as yet spoken only incidentally of the disappearance of species and of groups of species.
On the theory of natural selection the extinction of old forms and the production of new and improved forms are intimately connected together.
The old notion of all the inhabitants of the earth having been swept away at successive periods by catastrophes, is very generally given up, even by those geologists, as Elie de Beaumont, Murchison, Barrande, &c., whose general views would naturally lead them to this conclusion.
On the contrary, we have every reason to believe, from the study of the tertiary formations, that species and groups of species gradually disappear, one after another, first from one spot, then from another, and finally from the world.
Both single species and whole groups of species last for very unequal periods; some groups, as we have seen, having endured from the earliest known dawn of life to the present day; some having disappeared before the close of the palaeozoic period.
No fixed law seems to determine the length of time during which any single species or any single genus endures.
There is reason to believe that the complete extinction of the species of a group is generally a slower process than their production: if the appearance and disappearance of a group of species be represented, as before, by a vertical line of varying thickness, the line is found to taper more gradually at its upper end, which marks the progress of extermination, than at its lower end, which marks the first appearance and increase in numbers of the species.
In some cases, however, the extermination of whole groups of beings, as of ammonites towards the close of the secondary period, has been wonderfully sudden.
The whole subject of the extinction of species has been involved in the most gratuitous mystery.
