I recently got a chance to interview Dotti J, an emerging EDM/Pop artist coming out of Florida. We were introduced through a mutual contact, and though I'm not a big fan of doing interviews for blogging purposes, I was intrigued by her purpose for wanting to speak. Usually when an artist just making their way in the industry gets a chance to speak with anyone, it's about their upcoming album or single or what they're working on right now, and rightfully so. However, she wanted to discuss a campaign she is putting together. Below is her initial message to me.
"I've always wanted to help people and empower others, especially young girls and women. I thought in order for me to best help people I needed to be famous first, but that's not true, you just have to have a vision and a desire to help others be their best and see the best in themselves. It doesn't matter your background, it doesn't matter your race, your lifestyle choice, religion, or your status in life. It doesn't matter where you were born, where you live now, or what job you have. What matters is that YOU love yourself, that YOU recognize that you are powerful and beautiful and independent and you don't need anyone to tell you who you are because you already know who YOU are."
Now this is intriguing enough to want to talk with her, but I want to make sure to give her a platform so that anyone who reads this understands her as an artist as well as the movement she wants to lead.
I'm always interested in how artists come by their 'stage name'. Tell me why you go by Dotti J.
It came from my grandmother actually. Her name is Dorothy Jane. Growing up, I spent a lot of time with her and watched how she carried herself as a woman. It was very inspiring to me. She is a badass and worked hard for everything she had. My grandma is a tiny little thing, but she has this certain presence about her that not only showed her gentle heart but also made people respect her. Everyone referred to her as the "Queen Bee" and called her Dotti J. She was always classy, but stubborn, and never let anyone take advantage of her or she would quickly put them in their place. She could get her point across without ever raising her voice, saying a curse word or speak "un-ladylike" as she would call it. What she represented as a woman set the tone for a lot of things in my life, so I decided to use the name Dotti J for my music.
How does your family feel about you pursuing music as your career?
I think they have a love hate relationship with it to be honest! They admire my talent and the fact that I stayed true to my dreams and what I'm passionate about in life, but they definitely wanted me to do other things. It was easier for my mom. She has always wanted me to follow my heart, but she never really knew how to help get me there or how to deal with the setbacks of it all. I think they all knew it wasn't an easy task and just supported it in the best way they knew how.
What are you listening to when you are not recording your own music?
I love love love to listen to music from the Motown era! There is just something about it and the feeling behind it that is so powerful. I also love some reggae music, for when I want to sit back and just chill out.
How important is your image?
Very important! It is a direct reflection of how I feel within. I don't get so caught up in what everyone else is doing or wearing, I just stay true to the ideas and visions I have for myself. I like to switch up my styles from time to time because as I go through life and experiences it allows me to creatively express myself.
Speaking about Life and Experiences, how has your music evolved since you started?
I have gained a lot more confidence as an artist since I first started. It has allowed me to become more open to trying new things and different sounds and growing vocally at the same time. I even started writing and recording tracks I never saw myself doing.
So, you are starting an empowerment campaign. How can people reach out to be part of this?
We are still in the beginning phases, but we have a Facebook page at Facebook and an Instagram page at Instagram.
Describe what it means to be #ThatGirl and what you want to get across to women everywhere, not just in the music industry.
I want them to know "You are beautiful! You are intelligent! You are powerful!" I want to know what makes them all of these things and more. I want to hear their stories, and understand the struggles they've overcome. Overall, I wanted a place to recognize and empower women to be themselves and be proud of who they are regardless of age, race, gender identity, background, religion, political affiliation, etc. Honestly, I want to start a movement!
I am not a woman, obviously, but I do believe there is inequality in most industries, when it comes to gender. What made you want to start this campaign?
So many of us are told how we need to act or who we need to become. We are lead to believe there is a mold we have to fit…a mold of what others feel is right or best. No matter what, I have and will remain authentic to the future I see for myself.
We've heard from Kesha, Lady GaGa, Demi Lovato, and others when it comes to lack of balance in the music business based on gender. What have you gone through as an emerging female artist that other woman coming into this industry can learn from?
I have had many ups and have been faced with even more downs, but no matter how hard I have fallen, I have always found a way to stand up, hold my head high, know my worth, and keep moving forward. I have supported myself and my dreams by making sacrifices and choosing to live without certain things that many people take for granted.
Can you be specific about some of your sacrifices?
I want love and I want closeness, but I made these sacrifices to be able to invest not only in myself as a woman, but also in the dreams I have.
Talking earlier, it really seems like you have a positive outlook on your career in general. That being said, what is your take on the role of positivity in your life?
We were created to LIVE and to give LIFE. We were created to LOVE and to be LOVED. I know to be fulfilled I have to live for myself and love myself and fulfill myself first, and then everything else will come. When we do this, It is then that we can truly love others, help others to live, and to be complete. When we see the greatness and beauty in ourselves, we will then be able to see it in all things.
What people on the outside don't see are the individuals who take advantage of musicians starting out, like yourself. What are some low points in your career so far when dealing with so-called "Industry Professionals"?
I have been told how I should look, how I need to act, and what I need to do. I have been sold HOPE with a large price tag and paid it gladly, only to be misled by people who have their own intentions and agendas. I have been told "Do this, and you will be successful." or "Be this, and society will find you beautiful and perfect."
And your view of yourself now?
I have discovered that the real beauty lay inside of me and that is my heart and my soul.
Tell me about your record 'That Girl'.
I originally wrote this about being a strong woman for her man. I feel like we always look to men to help us or hold us down when we need it the most. To me, it is just as important to represent what you want out of your relationship as well. As we recorded the track and rewrote and rewrote, it became more of an anthem, not just dealing with relationships, but dealing with life as a woman. I think it can be interpreted differently by whoever is listening to it and depending on the situation they're going through.
What else are you working on to follow this up?
I am writing another EDM track. I am looking to record asap while I'm in rehearsals for my show. I am always writing though, that's something that will never stop.
What do you want your album to sound like?
I want my album to just make people forget about their worries and jam out to some dance music and have a good time! There is so much craziness in the world and I want my album to be an escape for people.
With all this going on, how have your choices and views changed since you started pursuing this dream?
It isn't always about making the "right" decisions because we never really know what lies beyond the next turn. It is about going out into the world, knowing what we are capable of, regardless of what everyone else says, and taking risks. When we dare to be those women that have a fire deep down inside, we can make our own path and forge our own destiny. We should never let that fire burn out regardless of setbacks.
Tell me about the people close to you.
I have surrounded myself with very few people. These individuals have been part of my journey from the beginning, and in my moments of weakness and distress, they help me remember who I am and what I am capable of.
Weakness and distress? Can you elaborate?
I have spent many nights crying myself to sleep and second guessing my choices. I have looked long and hard in the mirror, at who I really am and what I am capable of. I have hardened myself to the realization that no path is ever going to be easy and I would rather stand alone for what I believe, than to stand with everyone who is just going through the motions.
What advice do you have for women that are struggling with self-doubt or have no understanding of their worth?
Here is my advice. Learn to love yourself, and that means all of yourself. Learn to accept ownership of all your decisions, good and bad. Acknowledge your so-called "flaws' or "weaknesses" and work to turn them into your strengths. There will be so many times in your life where you can take the easy path or make an easier choice, but choose to follow your heart even when there are times you want to give up.
You said before we began that you talk with God in your alone times. How has that shaped Dotti J?
God has made me perfect in this exact way for a reason, and I am determined to live out that cause. I have stayed true to myself and I have followed my dream no matter who says I can't or who tells me to do other things.
In one sentence, tell me something about yourself that you know to be true?
I am a strong, independent woman.
I know your trademark quote is "Be You. Be Proud. Be #ThatGirl." But switch it up for me and tell me what makes you #ThatGirl?
I am never settling. I am never stopping. I am #ThatGirl.
Musically, what is your goal by the end of this year?
I want to be touring and performing my music to the masses. I want to build a relationship with my fans and get on stage to deliver a SHOW to them.
What is the hardest truth you've come to realize about this industry?
Staying true to yourself when people start coming on board and wanting to redirect everything about you. Dealing with a lot of closed doors, broken promises and people wanting to be a part of something because they see where it will lead. A lot have their own intentions to why they are in your camp and you just have to recognize the game and make sure you look out for yourself.
Knowing what you know now, if you had to do it all over again, would you still choose music as your career?
Absolutely! I would change the way some things were handled, or even the way I dealt with situations and people at times, but all of those lessons made me smarter and wiser present day.
When can we expect this record and where can people get more information and follow you?
We are finalizing the mix and master right now and it's release will be soon. I can't wait! It's the waiting game that gets me the most. Anyone can follow me on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter and I will make sure to let everyone know when it's available for download.

Flaming Lamp Bulb is the Most Exciting Night Light Ever
this is the only site I could find a flaming light bulb. You have to have one in person to understand how exciting it is. I found an interesting short deco lamp base at a flea market. I bought a flaming bulb 25 years ago in Boston, but it finally gave out—so they last a very long time. and I searched until I found one at Smithers. They packed it ever so carefully and I got it and you use it without a shade, of course, and the flaming lights up pink and the palm tree green and it is every so beautiful without a doubt. And people who see it go crazy over it. Buy yours before they are all gone.

Great bulbs, really pleased

Lelo Mona Wave Luxury Rechargeable 10 Function G-Spot Vibrator
The waves make me Mona
Reviewed: April 5, 2016 by Vanilla_Kink, a Straight Single Female
I couldn't believe it when I discovered there was a toy that mimicked the 'come hither' motion my partner has mastered so well. Unfortunately, there are times when he is not around and so I hoped this would be a close second best.
Lelo toys always come in the most beautiful packaging. Inside the first box is a beautiful black display box. I hate having to throw out Lelo boxes but there just isn't anything for me to do with them. Inside the display box is the Mona Wave, the charging cable and a satin drawstring storage bag.
If you are into your unrealistic girlie toys then this one is ideal. It is a beautiful purple and bright white. It also has 'Lelo' written on the white handle. This 'Lelo' sign lights up when the Mona is charging or when it is in use. This is made of the most beautiful soft, seamless silicone. It feels like, and is, a luxury vibrator.
To switch this on I pressed the indented centre button. I then lathered it up in water-based lube (make sure it's water-based lube that you use). The controls are very simple. You can scroll through the patterns by pressing either of the buttons on the top or bottom of the central button. You can also increase or decrease the intensity by pressing the buttons to the left and right of the central button.
I always scroll through to the 'come hither' motion setting and then increase to the highest setting. I'm definitely a power lover when it comes to my sex toys.
My first thought when using the Mona Wave, in combination with my We Vibe Tango, was oh wow!! I have never experienced a sex toy like it. The pleasure rating is definitely off the charts for this toy! Does it feel the same as my partner's come hither motion? No. Is it a close second? Hell yeah it is.
Noise level is very important for me. There is almost always someone awake in the house. The noise level for this toy is reasonable. In the bathroom with the taps running? No one would be able to hear a thing. In the bedroom with a bit of quiet music or TV? Your secret is safe.
Yes this toy does come with a higher price tag than others. But I would still pay more. Trust me, it is worth every single penny.
- Pros
- Intense pleasure, simple controls, quiet, luxurious silicone.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Actually mind-blowing.

Magic-making Mona
Reviewed: January 20, 2015 by Wildcherry
I was so excited when I first read about the new Lelo Ina and Mona Wave. It's something a little different to what I usually go for toy-wise, but I was just particularly intrigued with the Mona Wave and the idea of it as a G-spot massager.
The Packaging:
One thing I really love about the Lelo products is that the experience begins with the packaging, and they are wonderfully packaged. Opening up my package, there was the first of the boxes, sleek, white, and to the front are the words "Lelo", and to the reverse a picture of the Mona Wave. Further inside this is a sturdier slimmer black box with the words Lelo embossed on the lid.
Opening up, you are greeted by the beautiful Mona Wave, nestled on her velvety bed inlay. To the side of her, a little lift-able compartment, that contains - the charger (yay! an actual plug, not a single USB lead), a user manual, a one year warranty card, a satin storage bag and some Lelo Personal Moisturiser.
Everything about the packaging and contents is very luxurious, and with the lovely added bonus of the black box for storage of the Mona, I was a very happy bunny.
First impressions:
Inside her velvety lined box is Mona. My Mona is a seamless beauty in black with a white control handle and is officially the most lusciously soft vibrator I have ever owned (yes big statement!). Carrying on with the same shape of the original Mona, she's made of a buttery soft body-safe silicone that sits at 4.3 insert-able inches and is perfectly designed for the female anatomy. This means she curves just right against your internal sweet spot for the most spine tingly G-spot orgasms.
The most brilliant thing about the Mona Wave is its amazing addition of the moving arm and the built-in patterns around this. With these you are more than spoilt for choice with stimulation and I assure you that you'll have the difficult decision on deciding which your favourite is (I simply couldn't decide).
There are 10 in total, 6 of which are the "Wave" motion combined with a mix of constant or patterned vibrations, and the final 4 are a mix between the two again, but without the Wave motion. Each of these has an adjustable speed setting, and if this wasn't enough, a built-in memory to remember which mode was the last used.
Finally, being waterproof, Mona Wave is just the perfect accessory for bath time fun. And whether you're using lashings of water-based lube or not, she is just so silky soft as she glides against your skin.
Use of the Lelo Mona Wave:
To say I couldn't wait would be a total and utter understatement. I was very excited for this toy to come as it's completely different to anything I own.
Impatiently I plugged Mona in for her two hour charge. Amazingly, it has a neat little light that flashes constantly until charged, which then glows a solid light to let you know it is fully charged, but after that she's yours for a whole 2 hours use in return.
Ready to go. Use is simple in that the central button turns the vibrator on, in turn flashing the Lelo light yet again. From there on, "^" / "v" operate the different modes, while the + / - buttons control the intensity of vibrations.
Without going into major detail, and for a brief summary of its functions:
1 - Waves with a vibration
2 - A slower Wave with patterned vibration
3 - Wave with a waved vibration
4 - Waves with quick pulsing
5 - Waves and inconsistent pulsing
6 - Waves and no vibration
7 - Single vibration
8 - Vibration waved pattern
9 - Quick pulses
10- Pulses and waves.
On to Mona, who is so soft she simply slides and caresses against your skin, so much so I could of happily used it in vibration mode purely for clitoral stimulation as it even has a lovely pointed tip. But with lashings of lube, I needed to try her new wave.
It's worth pointing out here that I own the Lelo Ella (among a few other G-spot toys) and my one issue was that, when it came to use, it constantly caught on my pelvic bone if I just dived right in. But the Mona is different. Its lovely curve gives it the ability to slide in just right so it nestles beautifully against your G-spot, no catching or discomfort.
What can I say other than wow and "ahh"... (but that would be a total injustice to the Mona Wave). With its curling finger-like waves, the Mona replicates that of the "come hither motion" and brings you (or me, most certainly) to a high intense climax, and the more I used it, the more I got addicted to the pleasure and pure ecstasy it gave me, until it became the first internal vibrator to get me to squirt (nothing but glass can ever get me to squirt, Go Mona!).
It's nothing like fingers, granted, but if you are new to G-spot play or otherwise, this is seriously the next best thing for G-spot stimulation. And my one particular like about the Mona was, as hard as I came whilst using the wave motion, nothing deterred or slowed the motion of the arm.
I'm glad I took a chance to see what the Mona Wave could give. After reading about it, I was a little dubious. But after just a few days, it's certainly lived up to expectations. From its packaging down to the toy itself, it's wonderfully luxuriousness and perfection wrapped up into one.
With claims to be one of the world's first G-spot massagers that truly caresses you internally, it more than lives up to its claims and has me craving more after every use as it constantly gives me harder climaxes. Not only this, but it has a built-in memory, a brilliant little travel lock, and those 10 mind-blowing patterns that I really found hard to choose a firm favourite.
Even the most perfect things have their flaws, and the Mona has the tiniest (tiny). For one, it certainly isn't discreet, as it's a little loud, but this is mainly when using the six "wave" motions. It doesn't bother me personally, but my partner did know when I was using it.
Secondly, and I guess the biggest thing for me, was the fact that you can't quite use it hands-free per say. Every time I attempted to do so (and even loosen grip a little), it managed to wriggle itself so I had to readjust back in position, and more or less keep a firm grip through-out.
With just these two little niggles and given what the Lelo Mona Wave actually gives me in return, I kind of think I can live with them, as it truly delivers intense sensations and is definitely my new favourite even at the price. It's worth its weight in gold and is most definitely a must-have.
- Pros
- Luxurious, orgasmic, addictive and powerfully good - all wrapped up into one.
- Cons
- Hands-free is a little no go, but it's not a deal-breaker.
- Bottom line
- True to its word, Mona Wave delivers intense sensations that massage you into climax heaven.

Sure to make you Mona
Reviewed: January 27, 2015 by Lovehoney - BlueJ, a Straight Single Female
Personally, I can take or leave internal vibrations and often end up using my vibrators as dildos because I'm just not fussed on internal buzzing. It's for this reason that I wanted to give the Mona a try. With its 'come hither' style motion and sleek shape, I figured it would be more up my alley - so to speak!
Sure enough, I wasn't disappointed!
First impressions were good. The vibe sits in a nicely designed box typical of Lelo styling, and looks delightfully smooth and inviting. The silicone section is velvety-smooth and totally rigid for effective G-spot massage. I was really happy about this as softer toys just don't provide the pressure required for G-spot pleasure. It also comes with instructions, a warranty, sample of Lelo Personal Lubricant and a satin storage bag; lovely.
Clicking through the vibrating and swaying settings is easy. However, it's not the quietest toy I've had. I wouldn't go as far as to say it's noisy. However, it's certainly not 'whisper-quiet'. Although you might be able to hear it behind a closed door, putting on some quiet music or running a shower would easily cover the sound of the motor, so you don't need to worry about housemates hearing you enjoying your toy.
Amongst the available settings, you have the option to use vibrations, oscillations or both simultaneously. This is a great feature as it gives you the opportunity to try each setting independently, or blend them for a really exciting experience. Plus, each setting can be sped up or slowed down for a truly tailored session.
During use I found the shape of the shaft to be fairly ergonomic for my body. I did need to angle it slightly to experience proper G-spot massage. However, it was still pleasurable even without manoeuvring it around. For the 'come hither' motion to be effective, the shaft must be inserted past the 'elbow', and you'll need to keep hold of the handle during use. If you let go or it isn't inserted deep enough, the internal shaft stays stationary and you end up with a white handle waving up and down outside of your body. Sort of funny to look at, but not terribly arousing!
It took me a few attempts to get the right setting, angle and depth for this toy to work its full magic, but once I'd figured it out it didn't take long to reach the desired effect!
Don't be put off by the open charge socket. Mine has been submerged in the bath and has been charged since with no problems at all.
My one main bug-bear would be that the new discreet buttons look lovely, but are not particularly practical for solo use. I couldn't feel the buttons clearly enough to change setting/speed mid-use without stopping to have a look. I'm sure that during couples' play this wouldn't be an issue though.
I would recommend trying this toy a few times before giving it your final verdict. My first impression during use was a disappointed "Oh". However, this quickly transformed into a satisfied "Ooooohhh!!" and love it. I'm not sure how much use it will get for solo play, but for couples' play it's perfect!
- Pros
- The 'come hither' movement. Appearance.
- Cons
- Controls are too flat to feel. It's noisier than expected.
- Bottom line
- A lovely luxury toy for couples vibrator play.

Destination: Nazareth and the Sea of Galilee (Israel)
Today, I begin to finally document some of my international travels. People aren't calling me Worldwide Wes yet but I've been to some fascinating places.
Fall 2012 took me to Israel as part of a theology class at Notre Dame. Entitled "The Church After Vatican II," we were traveling to the Middle East to examine how the relations of the Catholic Church had changed in relation to the Jewish faith.
|Basilica of the Annunciation.
But that took up basically a day of our trip. The rest of the week was jam-packed with a) Catholic sightseeing (aka pilgrimage), and b) examining the Israel-Palestinian conflict. Beginning in Nazareth, up in northern Israel, we explored a number of amazing sites, beginning with the Basilica of the Annunciation (right). This is the site upon which Mary was visited by the angel Gabriel, pronouncing that she would conceive and give birth to the Son of God.
This was the first holy site we visited. I quickly began to realize that Catholics, when attempting to preserve holy sites, always build giant churches RIGHT OVER THE SITES. Example A: here's the interior of the basilica. Lovely enough church.
But then you snoop around, find the staircase, and bam! It's the cave where either Mary lived, or where she was visited. Or maybe both!
Actually, I was initially skeptical about the authenticity of many of the sites, but there is solid historical evidence that does indeed suggest that Mary and her folks did live here.
After long days of sightseeing, I suggested to our group that some early morning yoga might be fun. Despite the support from the night before, no one accompanied me for sunrise salutations (although some people did get up to see the sun, and then went back to snooze). This was one of my themes for senior year - attempts to recruit people for yoga, hearing plenty of "Yeah!" responses, and then, NOTHING.* But I did get this cool picture.
After strolling through the town and eating/drinking local specialties, we moved on to the Sea of Galilee and Copernaum. There were a number of stunning churches here. Here are two of my favorites - the Church of the Beatitudes (first picture) and the Church of the Primacy of Peter.
And this was right on the beach. However, I can say this firsthand, it is pretty tough to walk on the water.
The Church of the Multiplication of the Loaves and Fishes was also very cool. It is well-noted for its famous mosaics (which I got terrible pictures of).
Finally, we went to Capernaum, Peter's hometown and one of Jesus' main hangouts. I loved this site, as you could clearly see how it might have operated as a fishing village 2000 years ago. The ruins of the synagogue and of Peter and Paul's home were highlights.
Overall, Israel was a bit of a tricky place to visit. On the one hand, there were so many beautiful things you wanted to see and photograph, but there are so many spiritually important sites that it is crucial to maintain reverence.
We had two film majors accompany us on the trip, and here is one of the videos they produced. Much of it takes place in Jerusalem, but it gives a nice feel to the whole adventure.
Next time, I will try to complete my Israel chronicles and document Jerusalem.
*my buddy Kevin was a great yoga partner, but he wasn't Israel with us.

Algeria, Bulgaria, Cambodia, Dominica, Egypt, Fr— Oh, hello. I didn't see you there.
I was just sorting some photos of our trips to the aquarium (last weekend) and the zoo (this weekend). Would you like to see a few? I've posted some of my favorites below, starting with the aquarium. See if you can tell when the pictures switch from the aquarium to the zoo — it might be harder that you think!
It is called "cuttlefish" because "spawn of Cthulhu" is hard to remember, and because of the remote risk of waking the Great Old One.
Harold knew that Selena would leave him one day — he knew and he didn't care.
Sg and AT at the Ocean Voyager exhibit. Between them and the ray is two feet of acrylic that is necessarily a part of any lens that you take to the aquarium.
That one little fish is all like "if he bumps into me I'm really going to say something this time."
The whale shark's throat has the diameter of a quarter. I take comfort in knowing that if the whale shark ever decides to start eating people, it will be a long evolutionary period before that is even possible. Unfortunately, the same is true of the ability to walk on land and plasma-beam vision. Which means that the whale shark might develop all three at the same time.
Do you like pandas? Would your feelings change if someone you love were made of bamboo?
This is Jelly the Elephant. Her trainers were bribing her with treats to run back and forth across her enclosure. The best time to be at the zoo is right when they open the doors in the morning (unless you like watching things sleep).
The lion cubs are not so small any longer. This one is headed down into the cave for a post-breakfast nap.
Violaceous turacos is really this garishly colored. Its bright plumage allows it to evade predators by hiding in the Froot Loop trees of the Brazilian rain forest. Unfortunately, thanks to human-caused deforestation, competition between the turacos and the toucan sam have devastated both species.
This is Allen, and if there were a favorite ape picnic, I would ask Allen to join me. I bet he would be totally cool with taking a thermos full of beer, too.
Mom sits outside the cave while the cubs nap.
Tennyson might have had the ground-hornbill in mind when he described nature as "red in tooth and wattle."
Sg: "I wanna eat a mouse!"

Some of my biggest complaints for the return of Saga after a long hiatus were that we only saw young Hazel and Klara without checking in on many of the other characters readers have come to care about in this series. Saga #32 remedies that for the most part as the issue centers on Marko and Alana, the two star-crossed lovers who have been the main characters since the beginning of Saga. It's a rewarding issue as it ends up being about reunions in many sorts of ways.
Due to some unexpected circumstances, Marko and Alana became separated (physically, not in the marriage sense), ultimately leading to the kidnapping of their daughter Hazel. As Saga #32 begins, the parents have been reunited again, setting out on a caper to find out where their daughter is being held. The plan doesn't go off exactly as they want, but they get the information they needed. It's also revealed that this information is emotionally important to both Marko and Alana because they had secretly feared that Hazel was dead. The confirmation that she is still out there gives them renewed vigor to go after her.
Things have changed significantly for both Marko and Alana since they were last together. They didn't part on the best terms, with Alana being hooked on some alien drug and Marko smacking her for being irresponsible around their daughter. Basically, things hadn't been great between the two for some time, for many reasons. However, when we meet them in Saga #32, their bond seems to have been re-formed and there is a palpable energy between them, which extends from love to attraction. For readers who originally met them as lovebirds, it's nice to see them working and acting together.
The other significant change since Marko and Alana were last together is that Marko has essentially become a pacifist. This results both from his hitting Alana and from a violent rage he went on while trying to pursue his daughter after she was kidnapped. He's come back from that precipice, but absolving to do no harm is difficult when you are a fugitive and trying to find your missing daughter in the middle of an interplanetary war. His decision to avoid violence is already causing some tension with Alana, but Marko tries to explain how it's necessary for him.
Fiona Staples get the chance to do some simple overhauls on the looks of Marko and Alana in Saga #32. Marko has been growing a beard for a while, but it's especially shaggy here, and Alana has cut her hair and added new colors to it. They are small changes, but they serve two purposes: it keeps the characters looking fresh and interesting while also adding a layer of realism since young people frequently go through numerous looks over the years. Staples gets a number of splash pages and large panels in which to show off, and she lives up to it. Likewise, Saga can occasionally have gratuitous nudity, but there is a post-coitus scene between Marko and Alana in this issue that is actually lovely and natural.
There are short appearances of Prince Robot IV (now not a prince) and the adorable seal-like character of Ghus. Although they do not have a big role in Saga #32, their return indicates that they will probably be playing a part in the central story in the near future. Brian K. Vaughan and Staples have established so many interesting characters, though, that many of them still haven't been seen since we jumped forward in time with Saga #31. It begs the questions of what's going on with Gwendolyn, The Will, and the Lying Cat (as well as others). It's possible the next few issues of Saga will jump around as Vaughan and Staples catch us up with all of the characters. At the same time, we already can see what the next major plot will be: how to rescue Hazel and Klara from their prisoner of war camp.

Infamy Prove It Isn't Pixie Dust Which Makes Peter Fly
November 20, 2012 by dracs
Infamy Miniatures have published some full previews of Peter of the Lost Boys, who we previously got a sneak peak of.
Ah, I'm sure that when Sir Barrie first dreamt up his tale of childhood adventure this is exactly the sort of thing he had in mind.
The miniature promises to be a really cool sculpt, possessing a real swashbuckling appearance to it which blends well with the steampunk style. I would love to see how this miniature looks painted up.
Will any of you fly off the Neverland when Infamy release Peter?

Deluxe Hummus Platter
Can't choose between the Tahini, roasted red paper and feisty feta? Get them all on the deluxe hummus platter!

This has been my first summer making jam, and after jam that I thought was a little too sweet (Serviceberry) and jam that just wasn't quite right (apricot), this third jam I am really pleased with.
We have a funny plum tree in our front garden. There are 3 varieties of plum grafted onto a single rootstock. The Italian prune is easy to identify, and they aren't quite ripe yet…but when they are, they're slotted for some plum cake! The other two varieties I am not sure of…mainly because the tags aren't on fruiting branches…or branches that even have leaves. One is a Satsuma plum and the other is a Santa Rosa plum, and oddly enough when I googled them they both sort of looked like the plum I used for this jam, and the third plum on the tree looks nothing like either, so I am no further ahead.
The blackberries come from a blackberry bush that I think is technically our neighbour's but is more or less growing in both our gardens. She is happy to let us pick on both sides though, which is wonderful!
This is what the mystery plum looks like when polished. Why polished? Simply because that is what 3 1/2 year olds do.
Anyone want to venture a guess as to what my mystery plum is?
This jam is a combination of two "long boil" recipes without pectin found in the Bernardin Guide to Home Preserving that I borrowed from my sister. Conveniently there was a recipe for plum jam and one for berry jam. The plum recipe called for 4 lbs of plums. That's a lot of wee plums to "de-stone". I ended up with about 8 cups of chopped plums which was about 3 lbs. To that I added about 1 1/4 cups of blackberries, 4 cups of sugar, and 3 and a bit tablespoons of fresh lemon juice. Although the recipe said the cook time was only 20 minutes, I think I cooked the jam for about 40 minutes before I felt that it was proper jam consistency…and even still I wouldn't call it firm by any stretch. But very, very tasty.
Three jars didn't seal properly. I'm not entirely sure why, as I tried to make sure I left just the right amount of headroom. But they were given away to be eaten right away. Three jars did seal and they are on the shelf next to raspberry jam, and a little extra is in the fridge to be eaten now.
Next up…apple sauce?

Andrea says:
Could it be a pluot?
Belinda says:
I don't think so, although I suppose it could be. I only say that I don't think so as the other varieties seem to be distinct plums, and not hybrids.

Parent Council
The Role of the Parent Council
The Scottish Schools (Parental Involvement) Act 2006 came into force on 1st August 2007 and is designed to extend and improve parental involvement in their children's education and in their schools. The Act required that existing School Boards and Parent Teacher Associations be removed in favour of a Parent Council
The objectives of the KHSPC are to:
1. Work in partnership with the school to create a welcoming school which is inclusive for pupils, academic and support staff, and parents;
2. Promote partnership between the school, its pupils, its parents; and the local community;
3. Develop and engage in activities which support the education and welfare of the pupils;
4. Identify and represent the views of parents on the education provided by the school supported by the Education Authority and other matters affecting the education and welfare of the pupils.
5. Be consulted in and to contribute to the selection and appointment of senior academic staff at KHS.
The Parent Council is in place to represent the views of parents and guardians of pupils at the school, to help ensure that our young people can learn and develop to their maximum potential. We work in partnership with the school to create a positive and proactive environment which supports pupils, staff, and parents. The Parent Council also has an Events and Fundraising Team (EFT), formerly the Parent Teachers Association, whose objective is to organise events and raise funds to enhance pupils' experience at the School.
Our success is totally dependent upon the input of parents and guardians and so we want to hear your views, good and not good, so that we can help to improve the performance of our school. Please, if you have anything to contribute, contact any member of the Parent Council. Better still come along to any of our meetings where, I can assure you, you will be warmly welcomed. We are also always looking for new members of the Parent Council or EFT. It's very satisfying work, can be fun and really isn't a huge commitment, so why not give it a try?
Who are the Parent Council?
The Parent Council comprises parents and guardians of pupils from the school. Our aim is to have two parent representatives for each year group at the school. Parent Council meetings are also attended by the Head Teacher and other members of the teaching staff and local councilors. We are also able to co-opt members from the community who are able to offer an external perspective or provide specialist advice. The Parent Council office bearers for the 2016/17 academic year are:
Chair: Bill Nicholls - Contact Bill on email address email@example.com
Vice Chair: Kay Mitchell - Contact Kay on email address email@example.com
Treasurer: Allan Millar - Contact Allan on firstname.lastname@example.com or 07476 112346
Clerk to the Parent Council: TBC - contact email@example.com
EFT Contact: Susanne McLaren 01577 867100
Meeting Schedule
We normally meet twice per term throughout the academic year and meetings take place on Monday evenings at the High School commencing at 7:15 pm.
The programme of meetings for 2017/18 academic year is:
Mon 21st Aug 2017
Tues 26th Sept 2017- closed meeting PC only
Mon 6th Nov 2017
Tues 5th Dec 2017
Mon 15th Jan 2018
Tues 13th Mar 2018
Mon 7th May 2018
Tues 19th June 2018 AGM
Minutes from the meetings can be viewed on this website, or a paper copy can be obtained from the Clerk.
STEM Enrichment
Do you have a passion for science? Do you do something in Science that young people would find interesting or inspiring? If so, the Science department would love for you to share your knowledge and enthusiasm with our young people. We ideally are looking for people whose professions we can publicise in the faculty, people who could come in and give exciting talks, people who would host a visit at their workplace or people who could share expertise in a project (e.g. build a plan/water transportation competition/CREST Science Awards at the moment, but there is always lots on the go.). If you were able to help, please do get in touch with Dr. Armstrong (firstname.lastname@example.com) or give your details to any member of the parent council.
School Uniform
The provision of school blazers is organised by parents. This has been a huge success. Not only do pupils now look extremely smart but they are also immediately recognisable and distinguishable from visitors to the campus.
There has been a huge amount of time committed to this and we are always looking for willing volunteers. If you can help with some time to continue their excellent work, please contact Chris, it will be very much appreciated.
Remember, the new blazers are manufactured from washable polyester and the girls' blazer has a more fashionable, fitted style. The blazers are comfortable, light and easy to wear, and at £49 are very reasonably priced.
We have a number of blazers available in stock. If you would like to buy a blazer please contact Kathy Campbell.
School Blazer Recycling
The Parent Council would like to invite pupils who no longer require their blazers (either because they have grown out of them or are leaving the school) to donate them back to the school. We will make sure the blazers are recycled and put to good use by a new owner. Anyone wishing to donate their old blazer should hand it in to the school office on the campus.

Name That Book is an HISD Department of Library Services team competition. During the competition, quotes or clues are read aloud and each team must "Name That Book" from the 30-35 books on the list. This year marks Condit's 12th year to participate in the NTB competition! Goals of the team are to promote a lifelong love of reading and learning, a strong sense of teamwork, and a competitive drive to do one's best! HISD allows one K-2 and one 3-5 team from each school, with up to 7 students on each team (one of whom serves as the alternate). Parents coach the teams, and team members are typically chosen based on AR test scores and weekly after-school meeting quizzes.

Rubber Bands FAQ
Rubber bands are used extensively by florists to hold bouquets together. More specifically, they are used extensively by flower growers to bunch flowers and produce. They are also used by florists to bunch bouquets or even as a delicate band used around the petals of flowers, especially tulips to keep them from opening during transit.
How do I measure a rubber band?
A rubber band has three basic dimensions: length, width and thickness. The length is half its circumference. Its thickness is the distance from the inner circle to the outer circle and its width is the distance from one edge to the other.

What are rubber bands made from?
Rubber derives from plants that grow best in an equatorial climate. Rubber bands are made from organic rubber because of its superior elasticity. Natural rubber comes from latex, a milky fluid composed primarily of water with a small amount of rubber and small amounts of resin, protein, sugar and mineral water. An interesting note is most non-synthetic industrial latex derives from the rubber tree. Various equatorial trees, shrubs and vines also product the substance.
What does the manufacturing process consist?
There are 4 processes in making rubber bands. Below is the process broken up into 8 steps to help better understand each of the main processes.
- Processing the natural latex
1. The rubber is collected from rubber trees on the rubber plantation and the first step is purifying the latex. It entails straining the latex to remove other constituent elements apart from rubber and to filter out impurities such as tree sap and debris.
2. Once the rubber is purified, it gets collected in large vats and is combined with acetic or formic acid. The rubber particles will then cling together to form slabs.
3. Each slab is squeezed between rollers to remove excess water and pressed into bales or blocks, ready to be shipped to factories.
- Mixing and milling
4. Rubber is shipped to a rubber factory. The slabs are machine cut into small pieces and using a Banbury Mixer, mix the rubber with other ingredients to increase or decrease the elasticity of the resulting rubber bands.
5. Milling is the next phase where the rubber is heated and squeezed flat in a milling machine.
- Extrusion
6. Now, the flattened rubber is cut into strips and while it's still hot, fed into an extruding machines to force the rubber out in long, hollow tubes. Any excess that builds up around the head of the extruding machine is cut off, collected and placed back with the rubber in the milling machine.
- Curing
7. Tubes of rubber are forced over aluminium poles and because it's brittle at this point, the rubber needs to be "cured" before it is elastic and usable. Poles are loaded onto racks that are steamed and heated to achieve this.
8. Finally, the rubber is removed from the poles and washed. Each tube is fed into another machine that slices them into finished rubber bands. Since they tend to clump together, only small quantities can be weighed accurately by machines.

Newsletter (Autoresponder) Signup bot
Bütçe $30-250 USD
Hi there, I'm looking for someone or some tools which could perform massive newsletter signups with unique geographical names, unique email address and perform clicking the email verification link on it's own.
The autoresponder newsletter only got 2 fields. Name, Email, and email link verification.
If you've got such capabilities, tool and solution. Please message.
I can hire real people to do this but it costs 5 to 10 cents per person which is too expensive if I'm looking forward to perform, say 1,000+ signups.
If your signups bot have geographical IP masking to certain countries that would be perfect and also the unique name can be automatically made to sound like local names!
Let me know if you know how to do this.
By the way, bidders who possess this tool should allow me to test drive it at no costs to gain my confidence and trust so that you're likely to win this job.

You can use arrow keys to navigate in the map.
It split the community between a lot of different languages, decreasing the resources (documentation, tutorials, class, etc…) for each one of them.
The people improving the programming languages are dividing their work between languages which are mostly equivalent, reducing the rate of progress.
We can only work on a small set of projects if don't know a lot of programming languages, because of the great diversity of used languages.
So we have to choose between spending a lot of time learning new languages, or restricting the number of projects we can work on.
We have to duplicate most of the tools which help to program in a particular language (debuggers, syntax analyzer, libraries, framework, etc…).
Increasing the work to be done, and decreasing the quality of these tools.
Each languages have its own advantages and disadvantages, and so each one will be better suited for a particular project, but less for another.
It is true for some languages, but a lot of them have mostly the same advantages and disadvantages.
In some case, a language X could have all the advantages of another Y, if the working force were united on it.
