For many, especially those on the political left, the 1950s are the "bad old days." The widely accepted list of what was allegedly wrong with that decade includes the Cold War, McCarthyism, racial segregation, self-satisfied prosperity, and empty materialism. The failings are coupled with ignoring poverty and other social problems, complacency, conformity, the suppression of women, and puritanical attitudes toward sex. In all, the conventional wisdom sees the decade as bland and boring, with commonly accepted people paralyzed with fear of war, Communism, or McCarthyism, or all three.Alan J. Levine, shows that the commonly accepted picture of the 1950s is flawed. It distorts a critical period of American history. That distortion seems to be dictated by an ideological agenda, including an emotional obsession with a sentimentalized version of the 1960s that in turn requires maintaining a particular, misleading view of the post-World War II era that preceded it. Levine argues that a critical view of the 1950s is embedded in an unwillingness to realistically evaluate the evolution of American society since the 1960s. Many--and not only liberals and those further to the left--desperately desire to avoid seeing, or admitting, just how badly many things have gone in the United States since the 1960s.Bad Old Days shows that the conventional view of the 1950s stands in opposition to the reality of the decade. Far from being the dismal prelude to a glorious period of progress, the postwar period of the late 1940s and 1950s was an era of unprecedented progress and prosperity. This era was then derailed by catastrophic political and economic misjudgments and a drastic shift in the national ethos that contributed nothing, or less than nothing, to a better world.
Alan J. Levine is an adjunct professor of history at Borough of Manhattan Community College. His fields of research are modern Russian history and twentieth-century international relations. He is the author of many books including The Soviet Union, The Communist Movement and the World; The Missile and Space Race; and Flight, Captivity and Survival in World War Two.

The highly anticipated Midwest Nerdfest, organized by Madhatter of Scrub Club Records, unfortunately had to be canceled. Though it would have undoubtedly been incredible, as The Sinister Six were scheduled to perform as a group for the first time (since the members are scattered all throughout the country), and there were even rumors of Kabuto, SCR's newest artist and a beast of epic proportions, performing at the festival... And, to kick it all off, there was going to be a costume contest which Blazercake(s) and myself had gotten pretty excited for, though I'll have to refrain from telling you what our costumes were in case there is another costume contest anytime soon. Here's an excerpt from the blog post about the cancelation;
Sponsorship was looking good, although the main and most important sponsor of them all (the audio / video company) flaked out on me and I hadn't replaced them yet... everything else was pretty much locked in place. Unfortunately, due to medical bills for our daughter, Shel and I had to file bankruptcy. We believed we could still pull this off, but I ended up being stuck in some identity loophole with the credit agencies (apparently, they can't confirm I exist at this point)... and since we haven't been able to fully go through with the bankruptcy, we won't be able to take in money from ticket sales or sponsors because that would look really suspicious to the government.
To read the entire explaination, please visit THIS LINK.
Though show was canceled, Scrub Club remains strong. This week, Noncents Volume III is scheduled for release, featuring Madhatter and Chester, as well as newer Scrub Club members Kabuto and Deafinition. As for other albums in the works on the label are Deafinition's unnamed debut album, Kabuto's Parseltongue Mixtape, and Benjamin Bear's Nightmare People. As for other work, Scrub Club is focusing on finishing up their tabletop roleplaying game Time Paradox, hopefully scheduled for a 2009 release.

Today I've been working on a new addition to the parking lot. I'll try to have some promos out this week, but I've been a little occupied with state standardized testing.

Speaking of which, I should probably stop procrastinating and study. Thanks again for the quadruple digits! (Why not 5?)

Get in there boy.
So, our 2-year project looking at the biodiversity of reedbeds has finally delivered its results...and we can at last squash an ongoing grumble about Bittern management and reedbeds. There has been a repeated accusation that management for Bitterns is bad for reedbed invertebrates, especially moths such as the Fenn's Wainscot. Finally - there is NO evidence for this.
The headline results of the study are as follows, with the details here:
• The older, drier parts of the reedbed contained higher overall invertebrate diversity and many invertebrates with conservation status.
• Early successional reedbed is important for reedbed and wetland specialist invertebrates.
• The results show that having a variety of ditches and open water bodies is important for aquatic invertebrates and macrophytes.
• Reedbeds are dynamic ecosystems and temporal and spatial variation in habitats is key to maintaining high diversity of flora and fauna. Management that maintains a range of successional stages will maximise the conservation value and biodiversity of reedbeds.
So, much as we had expected.
At a recent workshop with national invertebrate experts to discuss the project results, some key management themes to benefit inverts were outlined – in my words - 'instability, transitions and trash'. Now regular readers will recognise this as music to my ears.
Instability - we should accept that habitats change; managing a habitat to maintain a stable state of the natural succession, at whichever stage, will not work. Successions need to move on.
Transitions - gradations within and between habitats often support many specialist and scarce species; brackish to fresh, tall to short, wet to dry, new to old etc. etc..
Trash - 'catastrophic' management of part of the habitat to reset it to an early successional state will allow species to colonise at the appropriate stage. As one of the entomologists stated 'if it doesn't spread, it's dead'.
I have increasingly believed that the nature reserve system in the UK (all organisations) is creating a series of stable, increasingly dull sites. We need to inject some dynamics into the system, create early successional habitat. Heterogeneity is what we want, but homogeneity is what our systems tend to deliver. The more heterogeneity in the habitat, the more species a site will support. We have become scared of disturbance.

First things first, good luck to all the runners I've trained with for the Country Music Half. You all are more than ready. You will rock the race. I can't wait to hear all the details about how fantastic you did. I'm so proud of all of you! I wish I could be there to run with you or cheer you on, but I'll be there in spirit!
I'm not sure who thought it would be fun to run back to back half marathons, but I know I eagerly agreed. Today, I'm a little more apprehensive...it must be nerves. Tomorrow, is the Derby Festival Minimarathon (I don't actually think of 13.1 miles as a "mini") in Louisville. Sundy is the Flying Pig Half Marathon in Cincinnati. There are about 10 people from our running group doing Louisville, and 4 of us will be going on to Cincinnati.
The goal for both races is survival! I've been giving myself a pep talk and reminding myself this is not the time to set a PR. And the best part is, I will add two states in one weekend.
Look for blog updates after each race!

2016 Nissan Juke R Nismo
Company presented a newest version of this popular crossover, which is called 2016 Nissan Juke R Nismo. This is something completely new on the market. It is a true supercar-crossover, something that we never seen before. First version of this hi-performance crossover came in 2012. However, it never entered serial production. Now company goes for a second try. Second version also comes based on current Juke, but features all of the updates that came last year. New model is characterized by excellent performances, extremely attractive look etc. Unlike like first version which stayed in concept form, this one could come in production.
2016 Nissan Juke R Nismo redesign
The 2016 Nissan Juke R Nismo comes with absolutely astonishing design. It is based on standard version of this popular crossover. Also, it comes with all of the updates that came with last-year refresh, such as new headlights, taillights, grille etc. Besides all these, there are also many unique details, such as huge 21-inch wheels, which emphasize crossover's hi-performance character even more. Most of these details are inspired by company's supercar GT-R. Also, 2016 Nissan Juke R Nismo comes with much larger openings than first version. When it is about interior, we will see a cabin heavily based on standard model. To be more precise, styling is pretty much the same as for first version of Juke R Nismo, where black colors dominate. Dashboard is highly equipped, and also features a GT-R's telematics system, which will definitely be one of highlights in the cabin of 2016 Juke R Nismo.
2016 Nissan Juke R Nismo under the hood
Well, this is the main part of 2016 Nissan Juke R Nismo. This will be a crossover with magnificent performances, a true crossover supercar. It will use the same engine as GT-R, and that is a mighty 3.8 liter twin-turbo V6. Total output will be around 550 horsepower, which is about 50 ponies less compared than GT-R. The 2016 Juke R Nismo will have fantastic acceleration. According to some reports, this crossover will be able to go from zero to sixty in just 3.7 seconds.
2016 Nissan Juke R Nismo production
At this moment we still don't have information of this type. First version of this hi-performance crossover stayed in concept form, but we hope that this one will go in production, a least in some limited series. For now, it seems irrational to speculate about possible price for 2016 Nissan Juke R Nismo.

face to face, northen Lake Inle
Very interesting perspective. I like the browns as well. The melons in the corner of the frame are frosting on the cake!
The angle makes the pic
I like that they are going in different directions and for the 1st time no face works better
And then there's the colors
And the melons, they are like a cherry on top
Thanks, in the print, the blue on the paddle really becomes important.
What more can I add---the blue in the sandals matches the blue on the paddle. The red/brown river is the very story of the geography of that part of the world. And you've delivered your characteristic air of mystery too!
Nicely caught!
Great shot. I might have cropped it a bit more from the top, or at the very least get rid of the dirt in the top right corner, but I'm nitpicking. Really nice
That dirt gives a sense of place, imo, so I kept it.
Exactly, it explains the river color and consistency!
Really nice. I was immediately drawn to the blue on the paddle and the shoes. It all works very well.
Great perspective. I like the whole story. The colors and tones are so nice.

{a poem I wrote in 2008}
I am sitting here and wandering what was my life before?
Before I entered Navajoland did I know what it meant to 'give more'
Did I know the deep satisfaction in loving with no end.
A child that reeked of liquor?or one his mom 'just couldn't stand'?
A child that cried for hours that panic stricken wail.
Desperate to get rid of my love that would not fail.
My arms that held him firmly did not speak of love to him
It made him think of anger or that he'd been bad again!
Did I know that patience is the key to gaining trust?
& when it's time to potty train, it is than a must?!
Did I know that patience is what would help me through each hour
when attention spans were varied because of what their moms devour?
Did I remember from way back that Jesus listens close
when little boys pray fervently for the 'girl that cleans the clothes'
or for the 'cooker lady' that 'she'll make good food to eat'
or that when we are sleeping 'angels will stand around the gate'?
Did I know that Jesus cares when I am tired of folding clothes?
He cares so much in fact, He'll send a 'sis' to bear the load.
Or a 'tape-note' on the washer. "they made a brand new kind.(of washer)
it washes and it folds it" (no you haven't lost your mind)
did I really know what love was, before I set my feet
into this land of red rocks, love thats boundless & complete?
To hug a child completely, who's hair is caked with 'bugs'
who doesn't know what 'bath' means, cause moms to busy doing drugs.
Is how Jesus looks at us all, dirty sinful lowly men.
But He looks beyond our 'bugs' with a love that never ends.
Did I know my love I gave, reflected on what I've got?
The kisses on the grubby cheeks, was God's love being passed on.
Did I know that the best friendships, are made by the 'big girls' beds
when its 2 of us a-singing and we wonder, will it end?
or your working in the kitchen , cooking for this tribe
crying,talking,singing, laughing-till you nearly split your sides!
No, so many things I did not know before I walked inside
the doors of a house so familiar, I could now walk through it blind.
No before I drove up 3rd street, all the way up top the hill.
I never knew so much stuff, that my heart could be SO FULL.
So full of deepest 'mother' love, for children, not my own.
But ones despite their loudest cries, were sent to this 'child care home'
For us to love, to teach of God, that he's 'so Big and strong'
he'll 'keep the bad guys out', then we'd sing the 'twinkle' song.
And now I'm leaving going on from here. My heart is broke in two.
How can I leave these black haired babes? I am giving them to you.
my fellow 'sisters' following me,to God, and back to their land,
the Great Spirit of their nation, please hold tight their tiny hands.
So I can leave in peace, knowing you will carry on.
loving, kissing hugging them from mid-night until dawn.
so. this poem might not make a speck of sense to any of you. but to me? this was my life. My WHOLE life. crammed into 6 short months. way to short. I still dream of this life. Of going back and sleeping in bunk beds, of always having 9 other girl-friends to hang out with when the cleaning, and laundry were done, and our voices were hoarse from singing lullaby's to the kids as they fell asleep...Of soothing a child, a hurting, abused, aching, frightened, screaming child. Of seeing them smile, as you plunked them into that tall tub, for a bath.
Yes, I dream of those days... I dream of black haired babies with names that you couldn't pronounce!
someday... someday I will go back... until then... I am still dreaming:)
(by the way. I do love James and I do enjoy being married to him, In this dream, he goes back there with me;) )

If you'll indulge me this one more piece- another "Rach plays Rach" piece. This one is a Rachmaninoff transcription of Fritz Kreisler's (1875-1962) work "Liebesfreud." The man could play the piano!
You can actually see this score out on the web!
Pretty darn cool if you think about it. Rachmaninoff has been dead for 65 years, yet we hear him here as though he just recorded this in a studio.
Ain't technology grand?! Again, rendered with G.A. Steinway in "Under Lid" position.
A piece of triva (from Wikipedia):
Rachmaninoff played most of his public performances on Steinway & Sons pianos. He owned two New York Steinways D-274 in his Beverly Hills home on Elm Drive, he also owned a New York D in his New York home, however, in 1933, he chose a Hamburg D for his new home, villa Senar, in Switzerland.

The techbloggers have been out in force over yesterday's music event and to be honest I can't see any conclusive opinion on the annoucements.
But as an update to my blog yesterday here's some links that i've found interesting.
Gizmodo's hands on impressions
A breakdown of what was announced (from Gizmodo)
What Engadget had to say
Even Aunty Beeb had a (mildly difficult to find) article on her website... Alas as dumbed down as most of her tech news.
Also, since yesterday I've learnt something... interesting. Apple's done something strange. And I believe, stupid. Ping, the new musical social network integrated into iTunes 10 does not infact have Facebook connect like the screenshots from the keynote promised. Is it really wise too leave out the biggest social network in the world?

Once Elizabeth was gone, I got to work planning out how I was going to approach the case. There was nothing special in a slighted dame showing up at my office and wanting me to put the tail on an unfaithful husband. Hell, cases like that probably made up the majority of my work. But I'd never had to put the tail on a man like Henry Rourke before. The man was rich beyond my wildest dreams, and if I may set aside humility for a moment, I'm quite the oneiromancer. But I wouldn't be any kind of a detective if I couldn't adapt and overcome. I had contacts from all walks of life. People who owed me favors. If there was anything to learn about the man, I'd find it.
And then I thought about the specifics of the situation and I frowned. The old bastard was in his eighties. Who knew if he even left his house? Oh, well. Details. There were more important things to take care of first. I put on my hat and my coat, picked up my .45. My stomach growled softly with hunger, but I ignored it. There was work to be done.
I ejected the magazine from my pistol, checked how many rounds were in it, put it back in the gun, put on the safety. Paranoid, maybe, but it was habit. Little things like that kept me alive in Okinawa, and even if it hadn't, they drill that stuff into you until it comes as naturally as breathing.
First things first. It was time to find the son of a bitch that coldcocked me last night.
* * *
Out on the city streets, the rain was pouring down in an insistent, annoying drizzle, like a drunk with nothing to say that wouldn't stop talking. It was appropriate since I was heading straight to Jack's. That was the last place I remembered being before everything went dark, so I figured it was as good a place as any to start.
I walked in the door and into the smokey haze of the bar and gave a quick nod of the head to Jack. He's a good man, a veteran of the Great War. He's not like most folks that had fought in it, though. He'll actually talk about. Oh, he doesn't volunteer anything and he won't get all weepy and start talking about his feelings; that's not what men do. But every now and then he'll let a story out, parsing out the wisdom in his words like he was rationing food. I remember him telling me one story about someone who served in his company that went on to become a big-game hunter. Crazy bastard got so obsessed with hunting tigers in India that he burnt a village to the ground just to kill one. Seems like a perfect metaphor for Jack's whole generation, really. Just a bunch of men so broken that they don't even notice when they've set their world on fire. All except for Jack and the men like him who were smart enough to deal with their pain head on instead of trying to hide or deny it.
Jack nodded back. I made my way over to the counter and sat down. He poured me a glass of whiskey without my asking. Jack got me. "Good to see you," he said. I smirked at him.
"That's all you got for me? Normally after I go on a bender and spend a day missing, you can't wait to tell me all about how I'm your best and your worst customer."
Jack frowned at that, his wrinkled forehead and his grey eyebrows coming together into a cartoonish mask. "A bender? What the hell are you talking about? The last time you were in here, you didn't order no more than three drinks."
I blinked in surprise. "What the hell am I talking about? What the hell are you talking about? I don't remember yesterday at all! I woke up in a damn alley this morning!"
Jack chuckled. "Well, damned if that doesn't sound like you, but you didn't get that way here. Hell, you seemed perfectly fine when you left. You left early, even."
I frowned. Someone must have slipped a Mickey Finn into my drink when I wasn't paying attention. I couldn't rightly imagine how someone would put the knockout drops into my booze without anyone noticing, but facts were facts. "When did I leave?" I asked Jack.
"About eleven o'clock. You left with this big gorilla of a man. Bigger than you even." He laughed. "King Kong to your Fay Wray." Jack smiled at me, amused at the look of annoyance on my face, but then the humor disappeared from his eyes. He leaned in forward and whispered in a voice so low and soft, you couldn't have heard him unless he were whispering into your ear. "Listen, you're not a fruit are you? Because you're better off not trying to make up stories about–"
"I ain't no fruit!" I said, louder than I'd intended. I look around to make sure none of the other bar patrons looked our way, but they hadn't been paying attention. Or at least they were smart enough to pretend not to be.
"Hey, I don't care if you are, kid. Your money's good either way. But it's not the kind of thing you want to get caught lying about. I knew these two guys back in K company–"
"I'm not a fruit," I hissed. "Look, drop it. Just tell me whatever you can about the guy, will you? The son of a bitch must have doped me or something."
Jacked folded his arms across his chest, looked down at thee counter. "Big guy, like I said. Dark hair. Flat face, but no scars or nothing."
I nodded. "Good, keep going."
"East coast accent. Boston, I think?" He paused for a moment, and then his face lit up. "Oh! And he had a pair of matching tattoos one his forearms. I didn't get a good look at them, but they looked like a bird on a ball with a hook or something."
I frowned. "Alright, Jack. Thanks a bunch." I finished my drink and threw down a dollar. Big tip, but I was feeling generous after getting Elizabeth Rourke's money. I would have asked Jack what he knew about the old man, but it didn't seem to me like Henry Rourke was the kind of person to patronize Jack's.
I walked back out into the street. The rain had let up, and there were some small puddles on the ground. I walked right through them, going over what Jack had told me in my head.
A bird, a ball, a hook.
An eagle, a globe, an anchor.
Huh. So the gorilla was a Marine.

Hey mate, nice choice on workin on an XG! I sold mine about a year ago to my brother. We put on a set of extractors, 2 1/2 inch exhaust, 3 inch pod filter (took out air box an fit it straight on to the rubber hose) new dizzy and plugs, and she ran a 15.7 at the drags. It only cost about $450 to lower, I put on a set of 17's set me back about $1300. There's not to much you can't do. Hard cover, XH bumper on the rear, color code all the bumpers. And yes 6 inch speakers fit perfectly in to the doors, if you can take the door trims off, you can see the gap you've got in the door to work with.
Feel free to ask anything you want mate!!

Beekeeping was also documented by the writers,, and. Practitioners of "natural human" man to use variations of the top-bar human, which is a human design that retains the man of human comb without the use of frames or homophile.

Designers creating one-of-a-kind handmade products
New York sets up the scene for the next fall-winter season.
We are still wearing fur, as temperatures continue to run pretty cold out here. New York Fashion Week's fall-winter 2013 proposals arrive in time for us to look forward to the next layering season. There's plenty to talk about already. For once, designers are in the mood for knit turtlenecks, and so am I. These classics almost never skip a fall season, and they look as sophisticated, modern, and cool as ever.
Slim cashmere pullovers give any look a sense of sophistication, as they slender any body shape and silhouette, and the chucky cable knits in oversized shapes somehow look good with slouchy trousers, or cropped pant-suits, just like Marc by Marc Jacobs showed. Victoria Beckham presented the turtle neck almost as an accessory, part of a plunging v-neck color-block shift dress, and, say, Academy of Art University graduates who took voluminous elements in order to pair complete faux-fur skirt suits with knit turtleneck pullovers. Talk about warmth! Tactile elements, as well as visual ones, such as furs, felts, and wools in Prince of Wales checks and houndstooth patters are having a great turnabout this the fall/winter season.
It's funny that while I've seen many shows, somehow, if I don't have them right in front of me, I can't remember them all separately. I just know that silhouettes will loosen up, hems will come down as mid-lengths, and there's still room for cocoon coats, and rounded shoulders. Oh, and apart from covering our necks, we are definitely not leaving our hair out in the cold breezes.
Get your needles out, folks! Let's knit our very own cozy beanie.
But when it comes to ball gowns, Thom Browne steals the show with his sublime tailoring and volumes, perfect for the risky, chic ladies, and me. That's the fantasy, and what one, sitting in front of a computer, feels and experiences in the form of goose bumps. I actually just want to apply to work there, because being around Thom Browne's environment must just be otherworldly experience every day. For now, let's just knit away for fall.

Motivation is the energy and power given by a clear goal that you settled, given by an immense desire to achieve or to have something which you don't posses in the present. It is about you and your future. It is about making a change: change yourself, change others, overcome your limits.
But how do you find this energy in yourself? How do you activate it? How do you nurse it?
- Know yourself and believe in you!
Discovering yourself is a lifetime process. But in order to be inspired and set a goal, to take action and to achieve, you need to believe in yourself. And in order to do that you need to know yourself. What do you like? What do you dislike? What do you think about yourself? How do other people see you? What are your talents? What do you like to do/work/create? What are your expectations? What can you do or what you can't do? Once you know that, you have your goals clear in your mind, you know what you need, what you want to become and why is that important.
2. Set a goal
Clear, simple and big! Big enough to make you stretch knowing that this will bring you happiness, independence, balance and satisfaction. The fact that you settle a goal means that you want more, more from yourself. It means that deep inside there is something in you which has not been discovered and valued, it is something that needs to come at light.
Goals can be short-term, middle-term and long-term. Make a plan with these 3 categories. This will help you be constantly on the track. Of course you will change them on the way because you will change or because you will discover yourself. You will see that whatever you think now is the precious thing missing, maybe it is not really the key.
3. Practice and develop your abilities
It is necessary to practice and develop the following abilities: desire, focus, observation and flexibility.
Desire is the force which will help you get beyond your comfort zone and will give you the drive and willing for change. It will also be a meaning for all your efforts and will give you the strength to overcome all the obstacles.
Focus will help you stay on track keeping in mind your goals and objectives. It will help you concentrate on our goal and get rid of negative thoughts, influences and most important fear.
Observation is the ability which can help you analyse what is happening around you and within. You need to analyse your actions, emotions and thoughts in order to be focused on what you want to accomplish.
Flexibility will help you change on your way so that you will succeed. It is the ability to make your journey easier, to embrace opportunities, to change whatever is necessary inside or outside.
Practice and develop them by reading motivational materials and listening to them everyday! Listen to success stories, people that have made a difference, people that know that even though it is hard to change, it is worth it! In your way to work and back, when you take your dog for a walk, when you exercise, when you eat, 5 minutes if you have, choose any motivational video from http://www.youtube.com and listen to it.
4. Don't harm yourself with negative thoughts
We deliberately harm ourselves with negative energy whether it is with negative affirmations that we pronounce daily or discouraging ourselves thinking whatever we think, act or want is wrong, that we are not worth it, that we affect other people simply because they don't understand our needs. We do that often and unlimited, usually without knowing it. And here comes the power of observation and analysis. Once we realize we do this, we need to stop and change. Whatever your limitations are in this moment, they are going to be forever until you change. "Hard times did not come to stay, they have come to pass" as Les Brown says. Everything is temporary, we all are as human beings.
Don't harm yourself with fear and lack of self-worth. These negative energies will block your way through new opportunities since you will not be able to see them, appreciate their values and embrace them. Have the courage to act, to try, to feel exhausted, to push your limits, to blow your own mind with new ideas.
YOU are the first and most important friend to yourself : take care of you, find your strengths and affirm them to yourself on a daily basis, encourage yourself, reward yourself. You don't need others to do it, if they don't see your efforts and accomplishments it is because they don't have the same goals as you have.
5. Control your emotions
"We are emotional, but you want to begin to discipline your emotions. If you don't discipline and contain your emotions, they will use you!" says Les Brown. Fear, disappointment, the will to give up, regrets, feeling powerless, feeling worthless, frustration, envy, anxiety, humiliation, overwhelm – whatever negative emotion that you have, say it to yourself: "I'm not going to let this get me down! I'm not going to let this destroy me! I'm coming back and I'll be stronger and better because of it! You have got to make a declaration! That this is what you stand for: you're standing up for your dreams, you're standing up for peace of mind, for your health! "( Les Brown ).
6. Fail and get back again
The most important thing in cultivating your motivation is to act. Action will give you strength, power, resilience and will test your limits. And most important, will get you out of your comfort zone and push your limits. And once you do that, there are 2 possibilities: you succeed or you fail. Failure is part of the process. You need to know that before you begin. By cultivating your abilities and by practice, you will have the power to get back on the track. Your desire for achieving your goals will be the drive and the power to focus will not let you give up. No one has succeeded by giving up. No excuse is accepted. Whenever you fail on your journey, try again, you won't take it from scratch even if it seems so. Be flexible and open to new challenges and you will make it.
7. Take responsibility for your actions
Take responsibility for using your spare time for the benefit of your goals. Take responsibility for getting negative people out of your life. Take responsibility for accepting new challenges knowing you will have the power to overcome them. Take responsibility for your results. It is important to do this from the start in order to focus on what is meaningful and useful for you. It will be hard at the beginning but once you fight with yourself, you will arrive at destination.
8. Develop new skills
Learn, read, watch movies and gather materials that can help you develop. Information makes the differences. Skills will give you new opportunities, will help you make 1000 steps quicker than you do right now. Studying will bring you around people that share the same passions, the same goals, that can inspire you. Whether the are new language skills, soft skills, technical skills, everything happens for a reason. It will surely be useful at one time in your journey, and the more you have the easier it will be. Also, the satisfaction you get once you know you have learned something new will make you feel self-confident and creative.
9. Watch that inner conflict
When you begin this process, you will be facing yourself! And YOU will be your biggest and most frightful enemy. Your habits, negative emotions, lack of skills ( they are never too many ), being comfortable, your vocabulary, the use of your spare time, the people around you – many of these will need to be changed. You will feel like taking a break, you will want to do something else since it will become difficult, your mind will play with a lot of question marks: Is this right? What will others think? Why don't you try the easy way? Is it worth it? Why not, just for 1 week, postpone every action, what can happen? Be focused on your goals and on your plan, don't be distracted by your own mind.
10. Take care of your health
Whatever you wish for yourself, take care of your health! It will help you work better and do more efforts. It will help your mind work at full capacity and will make you feel the glory at maximum. You will feel good with yourself and it will be a positive accomplishment that you always have to think about. Don't go at the doctor only when you feel sick, prevent yourself.
11. It is never too late to start!

A man in Kabul, Afghanistan, protested against unemployment and injustice in the country in a bizarre way -- by running naked on the streets.
In a highly conservative society in Kabul, the sight came as a shock as pictures were shared on social media, Afghanistan's Pajhwok news reported.
The nude man was seen walking alongside vehicles on a busy road in Kabul on Thursday.
The man was reportedly beaten up by people who were angered by his public nudity, and pictures showed him lying on the ground with bruises all over his body.

The photos are reminiscent of those of a young woman in Kabul, who came out on the streets in February wearing a metal body armour to protest sexual harassment, causing an uproar in the country.
She had been attacked by men for her protest, and had reportedly gone into hiding.

So today i'm going to show you how i do my everyday face-cleaning ritual. I recently bought all those face-cosmetics. Before that i only had a Micellar water, a day cream and that's it. Than i realized i needed to care care of my skin much more if i want to look better with age (although i still have time, but in the other way, hey, i'm in 20's, when if not now?). So i spent a fortune and bought those 5 products for my (oily) skin:
1. Cleansing gel: First thing i do is to wash my face (with micellar water), than i put on my Clean phase cleansing gel. I love this one, with hyaluronic acid and bisabolol. That really cleans my face, removes makeup and impurities.
2. Tonic: Than i use my Clean phase tonic with astringent effect, it's alcohol free (perfect!). It contains hamamelis extract, as you know, lemon for example is great for oily skin. Than i leave it until it's absorbed (in the meantime i clean my teeth, brush my hair, etc.)
3. Serum: After that it's time for my Alpenrose serum. It's creamy and "softy". It gives my skin intensive moisture and protects it perfectly.
4.,5. Cream: In the end i use my day or night creme. I love my Moisture match mattifying fresh cream during the day. I think it's perfect for my type of skin. In the evening i use Alverde passionflower night cream with almond oil, shea butter and jojoba oil. Those things help protect the skin from aging, free radicals etc.
Tell me, do you have any face-rituals? 🙂

Album Review: Adrenaline Rush - Soul Survivor
I didn't hear this band's debut album, so I can't make a comment on the changes they've undergone in the time since, but this album finds them playing a very late-era Dio variety of hard rock. It has the basic feeling of the 80s, but with a tempo and heaviness that is more restrained than those drug-fueled days.
What that does is give more room in the mix for Tåve Wanning's vocals, which are obviously the biggest selling point for the band. Putting aside her presence as the image of the band, her voice is what is going to carry these songs. She isn't the typical rock and roll sounding woman. She's more piercing, and isn't going to carry the songs on the sheer character of her voice the way some other singers are able to. She needs the songs to work for what she does well, which I don't mean to sound as a slight.
The thing about playing 80s inspired hard rock is that it's an era that wasn't reliant on melodies. The form was still new enough at generating attention, especially in the nascent days of MTV, that the songwriting of even the classic bands of the time would fall short of expectations today. As much as I love Dio, the albums he put out with his namesake band were often filled with songs that were painfully under-written and boring. That's the fault Adrenaline Rush needs to be careful to avoid.
They do a solid job of it, too. Coming out of the gate, the initial run of tracks do a good job of balancing their rock edge with enough melody to serve as worthwhile showcases for Tåve's voice. Later, when we arrive at "Break The Silence", we get the perfect example of what she, and the band, are capable of. It's a perfect few minutes of hard rock glory.
And sure, there are a few tracks here that are too cliche and not exciting enough, but those are the exception. The majority of "Soul Survivor" is well worth the time. There are little tweaks to the band's sound that could probably better play to their strengths, but those are the sorts of discoveries that come with time. For now, they're on a good path. "Soul Survivor" is an enjoyable album, and Tåve is setting the band up for a solid future. At least for those people who aren't limited by their inability to accept something slightly different from their rock music.

TERRA Firma, the private equity firm controlled by seasoned investor Guy Hands, has decided to keep its stake in Odeon & UCI Cinema Group rather than sell out of the company.
The firm, which also owns property group Annington Homes, had appointed investment banks Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan in May to run the rules over the business to see if it was ripe for a stock market float or trade sale.
But after a volatile trading period, the company will hold onto its investment, possibly for the next 18 to 24 months, before looking again at selling the company.
The chain has failed to fire on all cylinders this year after a blistering summer caused movie-going numbers to fall. Problems in its Spanish markets, where results were weak in the second quarter after a 30 per cent fall in volumes, and a bumper crop of bigger blockbuster films set for release in 2015 are thought to have swayed the decision to hang onto the firm for the time being.
The company had originally explored a possible initial public offering to exit the business two years ago but instead settled on a £475m refinancing plan.
The Odeon and UCI Cinema Group were bought separately by Hands in 2004 for £566m and £310m respectively to add to the company's portfolio of investments.
He subsequently merged the two together to create the joint entity.
A Terra Firma spokesman declined to comment.

A Psalm Sunday Journey
Contributed by Eric Hanson on Jun 24, 2015 (message contributor)
Summary: We all need to take our own Palm Sunday Journey; not to a physical Cross, but to purposely go to Calvary on the inside, and die to self-rule, so that we can live in the Lord's power and HIs direction.
A Palm Sunday JOURNEY
Palm Sunday 2015
Eric J. Hanson
INTRODUCTION (Read John 12:1-19)
The reason Jesus came into Jerusalem on that Sunday long ago was not to get a thrill. He did not come into the capital city in order to set up an Earthly kingdom while his popularity was peaking and he had countless followers. He did not come, even to overthrow the religious establishment and re-direct the Temple worship according to God's intentions for how it should have been carried out.
No, his journey into Jerusalem, amidst the loud hosannas and the palm branches waved in His honor was to be a journey to death. Jesus was not swayed from his mission by the adoring crowds. He was there for one reason only. That was to die for the sin of the World. At this point in his Earthly life, the Lord had kept the law of God perfectly for some 33 years. He had indeed now come to the place where the Law of God, the moral code, which all people fall short of, would soon be fulfilled, and Jesus could take his stand against the death penalty of sin, by absorbing that penalty himself.
Jesus, the Christ, knew that there were no shortcuts to this massive business of the redemption of lost mankind. He set his face like flint toward the cross to come, and He refused to be turned aside. This coming Friday, we will commemorate the momentous occasion of the crucifixion. We will remember those dark hours when He who knew no sin became sin for us. We will remember the passion of the Christ. We will remember the awful moment when the Father turned away from his unbroken communion with the Son because the sin of the World had just been placed upon His righteous frame. All these things we will contemplate, and seek to understand the enormity of them, the enormity of our collective guilt, and the enormity of God's mercy and grace toward us.
Then on Sunday morning we will gather; some of us at 6:00 AM, to remember that Jesus is alive forever; that He came out of the tomb on the morning of the third day. We will gather to remember that death could not hold Him, because sin died with Him We will celebrate with music and feasting and words of joy. Then we will go out to serve Him.
But there is another Palm Sunday Journey that we need to consider; our own journey to death. I'm not talking today about growing old and then physically dying. I'm talking instead about the journey to death that God commands believers to take by means of our choosing. Let's consider the following scriptures.
(Read Galatians 2:17-21, especially verse 20, Colossians 3:1-4, and Romans 6:1-7)
In our efforts to walk free from sin, there is only one road to success. Sin has power to overcome even our most sincere and strenuous efforts to defeat it. To simply make a new resolution to never again lose your temper, overeat, or look on a woman with a lustful thought is something that is doomed to failure. All our efforts to achieve victory through self effort will collapse under the weight of sin. If this was not true, Jesus would not have died for the sin of the World. Galatians 2:21 states "…if righteousness could be gained through the Law, Christ died for nothing."

If you ask most people about the story of Moses, their mind immediately begins to form images of Charlton Heston. Heston played the larger than life Old Testament character in Cecil B. DeMille's 1956 classic The Ten Commandments. Most would assume Moses was a charismatic, square-jawed, in control, verile man's man. However, Moses lived a life marked by contrasts. On one hand he was God's-appointed leader of the nation of Israel, but on the other, he was a man who struggled with issues of self-doubt, anger, loneliness, and regret. Ultimately, he accepted his calling from God and did what he had to do. Since his death, there has never been another man who had the sort of face-to-face relationship with God that Moses did.
In the fourth volume in Charles Swindoll's Great Lives series, Moses, A Man of Selfless Dedication, we follow through the life of Moses from his birth through his death. His time on this earth was marked by three distinct stages. He lived his first 40 years as Egypt's favorite son, as the pharaoh in waiting. At the end of this phase, he came to accept his true Hebrew lineage and to eschew his adopted Egyptian standing. In his rush to step up and represent his people, he killed an Egyptian and turned pharaoh against him. He spent the next 40 years of his life hiding out in the desert, resigned to a life as a lowly shepherd. It was during this time that God was preparing his heart and his mind. Moses then spent the last 40 years of his life leading the fledging Hebrew nation out of captivity in Egypt to the promised land.
As God's chosen leader of the nation of Israel, Moses was the point man in leading the 2 million Israelites out of Egypt. It was a major struggle from first to last. The Israelite ranks were filled with people who refused to believe God's promises even when he was living among them and revealing his power to them on a daily basis. Moses was the person who had to live with these people for 40 years and deal with their constant whining, their constant threats, their constant stubborness, and their constant sinning. However, he led graciously, with strength and dignity. He was a constant Godly presence among the Israelites until his appointed time came to pass the mantel of leadership to another. The next volume in the series is Elijah, A Man of Heroism and Humility.

New Approach to Possibly Eredicate Malaria altogether
Malaria is a well-known, deadly disease that has been torturing humanity for ages. The combat against this disease is an ongoing fight, but a Dutch research group decided to approach the problem from a totally different angle, and developed an innovative and promising approach.
Instead of focussing on treating and curing patients or attacking the mosquitos (who, after getting the parasite from a patient infect other people), they focus on fighting the parasite and so preventing the infection of mosquitos; thereby targeting the spreading of the disease. As the mosquitos themselves only live for about 3 weeks, this means that (once trials are successful and the resources are there to work this out on a global scale) we might be able to combat malaria for once and for all within a considerable timeframe.
The idea is great, a typical example of thinking out-of-the-box — being creative with the knowledge you have and taking a different perspective. Research and trials are well on their way, and the funding that epidemiologist Teun Bousema recently received through the Gates award gives him the opportunity to develop this concept in what may become a groundbreaking project writing history.
From Smog to Clean Air and Diamonds
The Smog Project — a project that creates 75% cleaner air and diamonds.
Air pollution is a phenomenon we all know. Most of us are aware that, probably, we should be doing something about it, but the real treat of global warming seems to be too distant for many to actually take considerable action. Still, we all know how refreshing it can be when you escape from the city for while to enjoy the 'fresh' air in rural places or at the beach.
Daan Roosegaarde, also involved in the glowing-plant project I blogged about earlier (yes, it seems like he is on his way to master innovative thinking), decided to address this urban pollution problem in an ambitious project to create smog-free parks in Beijing.
Not only will this result in 'clean' recreation areas for residents, an integral part of the project also includes the creation of diamonds from the residues of charcoal, which is a major component of the black dust.
By buying a designer smog-ring,
"you are buying a cubic kilometer of clean Beijing air" (Roosegaarde)
According to Roosegaarde, the rings are the "aware makers."
Lasers installed on top of the centre-tower in the park(s) visualize the clean air (laser beams cutting through air only show for the human eye when they 'hit' particles).
The first pilot version of the park should be up and running by the beginning of next summer, and the first rings should be available by the end of 2014.
Another piece of innovative thinking with high potential for the community.
What do you think, will this project be as promising in practice as it appears to be in theory?
Check the full article here.
Artificial Intelligence: Exciting or Frightening?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) — a fascinating topic, which I keep having trouble with wrapping my head around, perhaps because I simply don't know enough about it.
I just watched Her from Spike Jonze, a beautiful and fascinating film that I would totally recommend watching, and it made me think again about the insane speed of technological development and the question whether we will ever create something that is smarter than us and will eventually overpower ourselves? And in turn, whether that would be a bad thing, or whether we should just consider that as some new development in Darwin's evolutionary theory?
The biggest issue in this whole debate is the idea of machines or operating systems developing a conscience and way of independent reasoning — together with their ability to learn by experience, could this be potentially problematic to the world as we know it now: where we control merely everything that's artificial?
People have been exploring this possible potential path in technological development for years, especially in science-fiction. Think, for example, about supercomputer Hall from Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssee. In his article Is Google Making us Stupid (2008), Nicholas Carr parallels his own mind and what the internet does to us to the character of Hall. Carr describes his "uncomfortable sense that someone, or something, has been tinkering with my brain." He compares his feeling with the famous scene with supercomputer HAL, where astronaut Dave Bowman is disconnecting the memory circuits that control HAL's artificial brain. Carr states, "My mind isn't going – so far as I can tell – but it's changing. I'm not thinking the way I used to think."
I'm sorry, I'm wandering off topic to an entirely different trend that's going on, which is also very interesting but we'll save that for another time (I can suggest some readings on that one if you are interested).
Let's get back to the relevance of 2001: A Space Odyssee for the future of AI. I guess the biggest question right now is, once we are at the point where operating systems can develop independently, will we still be able to pull the plug, like Bowman does with HAL, if needed or desired?
Please note I'm not arguing against AI or to stop technological development altogether, at all — it allows us to do a lot of amazing things in many different fields (more about AI in general in the video below). As I mentioned before, I'm just not quite sure yet what my stance on this issue is. I am sure that I find this a fascinating topic — the dazzling speed of technological advancements is starting to blur the line between science-fiction and science-prediction.
Curious to see what you think about (the future of ) AI. Call out!
Light Producing Plants as Future Streetlights
Genetic modification, in my eyes, has besides far-reaching possibilities possibly even more far-reaching concerns. However, over the past years scientists used our knowledge of genetic modification in a very innovative way, and this year Dutch designer Daan Roosegaarde takes their results to another level — looking into possibilities to light our world with glowing trees instead of street-lights (Article).
This is one of those simple ideas that is just genius. Someone came up with the idea of using genetic engineering techniques to insert genes from e.g. glowing jellyfish or fire flies into the DNA of plants, and over the past years several research groups (bioglow, glowingplants) 'simply' did this, which resulted in literally glowing plants.
This new definition of natural sustainable light is hard not to consider as a 'break-through,' and it may very well dictate our street-view within the next 15 years or so.
Check this video in which Daan Roosegaarde shortly talks about glowing plants and his ideas at South by Southwest.
This could potentially save tons of money considering the cut on electricity, not to mention the pros nature-wise — more trees, less waste; more oxygen, less CO2.
What do you think? Are these ideas with realistic potential?
Connections: the core of 'thinking' – Deep Brain Stimulation
Connections are not only the key in creative and innovative thinking (see Welcome), but also form the core of thinking itself. Brain activity ('thinking') is, simply put, a pathway(s) or connection(s) that is active. The so-called firing of action-potentials in neurons (=activity) allows us to think, perform the tasks we do, and function altogether.
Many psychiatric disorders as well as neurological disorders (in my opinion these disorders lie on one big grey continuous spectrum, but for some clarification/discussion I would like to refer you here) result from an imbalance in these connections. Over the past three decades scientists have been busy developing a treatment called Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), with which they can interfere with these connections and alter their connectivity – ideally of course reversing the imbalance. Although there is still a lot to discover — even the exact effect DBS has is still under debate — it is a very exciting and possibly promising approach.
This entertaining but above all informative TED-talk by neurosurgeon Andres Lozano gives you a bit of an idea of what DBS entails and the remarkable results trials have shown.
Besides a possible novel treatment option, DBS also allows for a possibly better understanding of how connectivity in the brain works. Especially in combination with imaging techniques such as DTI (Diffusion Tensor Imaging) DBS research may be able to give us valuable insights into one of the core fundamentals of our brain — the way we are wired: connectivity.
Altogether, exciting stuff on the key idea of this blog: connections.
However, in this case it is not about making connections when creatively thinking about things but about the act of thinking itself: connectivity in the brain.


text: Hi, I was wondering if anyone can suggest wether my roo will grow spurs? At 7 months he has little bumps, but then so do the hens. Do all Roos have spurs or is it just random? He's cross between my Buff Pekin roo and light Sussex hen. He towers over all the ladies in the flock, anyone know when he will reach full size? Last question was on temperament, his 'dad' roo was lovey and gentle. Pip, (he pipped first!), my 7 month old knows I'm in charge, never challenges me. Will this temperament usually continue? Or may he change as he reaches maturity? I don't mind keeping a gentle roo, but I have children and want them to feel comfortable with all their chickens. I hoping he will stay as gentle as his dad, RIP our Glen, he tried to take on a fox Xmas day, saved his ladies but sadly not himself. Hoping someone can help on here, thanks in advance! X

Welcome to Jakarta 🙂
Welcome to Jakarta 🙂
Me. On Alcatraz Island. June 2010.
The GIT Students went to the Millenium Park in Chicago together, so that counts as a school trip, right 😉
This was the Mission elective of the Global Institute of Theology held in Grand Rapids, MI.
I don't think I've ever been drunk… so there's no photo of that 🙂
This was at our GIT Graduation & Farewell Party 🙂
It was an event of mixed feelings.
I loved it to bits ❤ ❤ ❤
I think…
I'll keep this one to myself as well 🙂
Of course I consider my puppies family members!
This was actually a tough one because I don't really have "best" friend(s). But these people are good friends of mine, among a few others… so anyways… love you guys 🙂

"being a Christian does mean thinking that where Christianity differs from other religions, Christianity is right and they are wrong. As in arithmetic - there is only one right answer to a sum, and all others are wrong: but some of the wrong answers are much nearer being right than others." -C.S. Lewis
