Volt & Volume is your source of inspiration when searching for music.
All releases reviewed on Volt & Volume are recommended.
"Out across the constellations
There's a place behind the sun
Everything is connected
Everything and everyone."
Often when you think of duet albums, you think of lazy, calculated marketing aimed at prolonging or reviving an artist's career. If the artist has reached a certain advanced age, the duet partners chosen for the project are often much younger/commercially viable artists. Frank Sinatra did it with Duets and Duets II, Tony Bennett has released all of three duet albums (Duets: An American Classic, Duets II and Viva Duets), and Paul Anka recorded Duets in 2013 - just to name a few. These albums consist of re-recordings of old classics and came off as rather feeble attempts to stay commercially relevant that ultimately only served to enhance the superior quality of the originals.
This common aversion to duet albums is something John Fogerty was very much aware of throughout the recording process of Wrote A Song For Everyone. John Fogerty: "People kept calling it "Duets" and I would just cringe, "No, no, no, that can't be the name of it". It has just such a dorky sound to it." Not calling the album "Duets" was a good decision, but even if Fogerty had done so, it wouldn't have put Wrote A Song For Everyone in the same category as the above-mentioned duet albums – it's far too warm and uncalculated for that. Wrote A Song For Everyone alternates between Classic Rock, Swamp Rock, Country, and Folk-Rock. Named after a track on legendary Swamp Rock/Americana group Creedence Clearwater Revival's Green River album (1969), Wrote A Song For Everyone sees Fogerty revisiting several of his old band's classics (see Creedence Clearwater Revival's Greatest Hits), as well as a couple of solo tracks, all in the company of primarily much younger guest stars.
The energetic Foo Fighters add a raw power to Fogerty's sound by virtue of an endearing, typically ferocious interpretation of Fortunate Sun that kicks off the album in high gear. Almost Saturday Night is less gritty than Fogerty's original (from his 1975 solo album John Fogerty), but Australian Country singer, songwriter, and guitarist Keith Urban delivers a heartfelt vocal performance and lovely banjo work. On the title track Wrote A Song For Everyone, Fogerty shares lead vocal with Platinum-selling Country songstress Miranda Lambert, and Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine, Audioslave) plays a gripping, characteristically distinctive guitar solo. My Morning Jacket turns the rustic charm of Creedence Clearwater Revival's Long As I Can See The Light into a smooth Country/Folk song that likewise breaks into a blistering guitar solo, and '70s/West Coast revivalists Dawes join Fogerty for an engaging Soft Rock reading of the poignant Someday Never Comes, a less well-known track from Creedence Clearwater Revival's last LP, 1972's Mardi Gras. However, the most inspired choice of duet partner is '70s singer/songwriter Bob Seger whose weathered, gravelly voice is such a perfect match for Fogerty's rustic approach to songwriting that it makes you wonder why Seger didn't record a cover version of one of Fogerty's songs years ago. On Who'll Stop The Rain, keyboardist/pianist Bob Malone's piano style evokes the sound of the classic Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band hit Against The Wind (from 1980's Against The Wind album).
John Fogerty and Country Picker Brad Paisley actually manage to improve on Fogerty's original recording of Hot Rod Heart (off Fogerty's 1997 solo album Blue Moon Swamp), sparks flying as they trade vibrant licks during prolonged guitar interplays. Interspersed among the reworkings of the old classics are two new songs, Train Of Fools and Mystic Highway, both of which are of a high quality, the latter in particular. Mystic Highway, the first single released from the album, is a rumination on this journey called life, the trials and tribulations, the joy, love and happiness, and, ultimately, mortality ("Out across the constellations / There's a place behind the sun / Everything is connected / Everything and everyone"). John Fogerty: "Those can stand alongside anything on the album, and I'm not sure I'd say that about songs on (2007's) Revival. These seem more effortless. I allowed them to be what they're supposed to be, and that's my process from the old times."
How much you'll like, or perhaps even love, Wrote A Song For Everyone depends on your willingness/ability to not compare these re-recordings to the originals (they're not meant to replace them) and listen to the album on its own merits. If you can do that, Wrote A Song For Everyone is a fine and very enjoyable release in its own right. Personally, I'd love a second volume featuring like-minded guest artists that would be absolute perfect collaborators for John Fogerty such as The Black Keys and Ray LaMontagne. If anything, Wrote A Song for Everyone is a testament to Fogerty's enduring musical legacy.

It's Monday August 20, 2018
News From The Village Updated Almost Daily
Lots of boats come to Oriental, some tie up at the Town Dock for a night or two, others drop anchor in the harbor for a while. If you've spent any time on the water you know that every boat has a story. The Shipping News on TownDock.net brings you the stories of the boats that have visited recently.
April 27, 2017
There will be some additions made before Berny's son heads off from Boston.
"We have built an aluminum dodger for this boat. We also have solar panels and a wind generator. The other boat had solar panels but did not have a wind generator."Preparing for departure from Oriental on Saturday morning, March 25. Berny Peissel and a friend/crew member, Bob Lennox, work with the mainsail.At left, recording the Town Dock surrounds is Berny's nephew, Alexis Peissel, who was crewing on the delivery run to Boston. Alexis sailed across the Atlantic when he was two years old. "I learned to walk on a boat." He lives in Hickory, NC now.
"By late June, the boat should be ready to go north. Nicolas will take it to Newfoundland to pick up the scientists at St. Johns who are going along."
"A number of scientists will be on board for this next trip." Berny says. "One of them thinks he has info about a wooly mammoth coming out of one of the glaciers. Another one wants to go to Wooly Island where fur hunters who lost a battle with the elements a century ago supposedly left a cache of furs. Last summer, an expedition to this area left buoys registering scientific material. One of the scientists making this trip will try to retrieve them and bring them back."Exiles sails under the Canadian flag. Berny Peissel was born in England. He spent 25 years as a television producer before retiring to begin a second career doing home renovations. He lives in Montreal and is a Commander in the Coast Guard Auxiliary for the St. Lawrence Seaway.
Then, it's off toward the Beaufort Sea via the Northwest Passage."Once they arrive at Ulukhatuok, they will leave the boat there. Nicolas will assemble a new crew next year and return to Ulukhatuok in 2018 and take the Northwest Passage traveling east."
And if it makes that Northwest Passage at the highest latitude ever for an unaided sailboat, Exiles will reinforce the point that Nicolas Peissel and crew made in 2012: that the arctic is melting at an alarming rate. Or as the crew put it then: "Our approach to sail across a historical stretch of water that has traditionally been frozen is meant to be a clear visual example of the extent of declining polar ice."
Some might see an advantage in that. In its coverage of the 2012 expedition, the LA Times wrote, "Though environmentalists decry the shrinking polar ice caps — and coastal regions are already having to cope with the ominous (and expensive) rise of sea levels — the opening of the traditionally ice-blocked Northwest Passage would bring potentially lucrative new shipping routes."
That gives Berny Peissel more pause. "The scientific community already knows that global warming is real. And, as more water melts, the oil companies are going to be searching for more oil; that's not good. "Berny Peissel on board_Exiles,_ while in Oriental in March. It is his son's boat, but the sailing tradition in one he passed on, having built a 36-foot sailboat when his sons were young. After delivering Exiles to Boston, he is planning to build a multi-generational home in Montreal where Nicholas will also live.

What is Palliative Care?
- Palliative care is specialized medical care for people with serious illnesses
- Palliative care focuses on providing relief from the symptoms, pain, and stress of a serious illness – whatever the diagnosis
- Palliative care services help avoid unnecessary testing and hospital visits
- Palliative care helps you carry on with your daily life, helps you better understand your condition, and helps you receive the best possible quality of life
- Palliative care works with your doctor to provide an extra layer of support for you and your family
How Does ResolutionCare Work?
- ResolutionCare sees people in their homes, in person, or via videoconferencing technology
- Unlike hospice, the palliative care provided by ResolutionCare can be received simultaneously with curative treatment and is offered as an extra layer of support to all other appropriate treatments
- ResolutionCare uses a community-based team approach to help people focus on living well rather than simply getting from one appointment to the next
- We help people define for themselves what quality and wellness mean as their lives approach completion
- We are concerned with the whole person – what matters to them and gives life meaning, value, and beauty
ResolutionCare is a social enterprise responding to exploding demand for severely limited Palliative Care services as people face mortality within a fragmented and transforming health care system.
The quality of care for individuals facing the end of their lives—and their loved ones—is often characterized by unmet needs for even basic symptom control, confusion in the navigation of labyrinthine healthcare delivery systems, and the loss of empowerment and self-determination.
The field of Palliative Care has gotten enormous traction with policy makers and professional organizations over the last 10-15 years by delivering high quality person-centered support for well being, in parallel with disease-targeted medical care.
In the face of shifting incentives, evolving sensibilities, and sheer demographic weight of the aging 'Baby Boom' generation, the demand for Palliative Care is growing exponentially while the supply of skilled and inspired professionals lags far behind. The result is unnecessary suffering, and costs, and an enormous opportunity to make a meaningful difference for everyone at the most vulnerable moment imaginable.

Professional Liability Insurance For Tutoring
Professional liability insurance, also called errors and omissions insurance (E&O insurance), protects you in case you are sued for negligently performing your tutoring duties, even if you haven't made a mistake. Professional indemnity insurance will help to provide coverage against the costs of settling or defending a claim made by a school, local education authority, private client or student that there was a problem with your work, such as failing to cover off a key part of a course syllabus.
Regardless of your professional qualifications and teaching experience, things don't always go to plan. If you were to make a simple oversight which led to part of a curriculum being taught incorrectly, or if a student were to underperform in their exams through no fault of your own, legal action may be taken against you by the student's parents, alleging that your service was not of an adequate standard.

Zigo Bakfiets Carrier Bike - Converts to Bike and Stroller
It seems that more manufacturers of bike baby seats are incorporating a forward-positioned design. What many parents seem to want is the ability to keep their kids close by and within eyesight. The Kangaroo Carrier by WeeRide accomplishes just this. With this design, the child sits between the rider and the handlebars, positioned in a way which is reminiscent of a Kangaroo mother and her baby joey. WeeRide says that this forward-mounted position, as opposed to the conventional rear-mounted baby bike seat, provides better weight distribution and an improved center of gravity. With the Kangaroo Carrier, the rider's arms surround the child, assuming a natural and comfortable protective position. Not only does this position give more peace of mind to the driver, but it allows parent and child to experience the ride together. With rear-mounted seats, the child's view would be obstructed by the rider's back. The WeeRide Kangaroo Carrier can even accommodate a cushioned pedestal for the child to rest his head on when he gets sleepy, which is convenient for longer rides.
It should be noted however, that the WeeRide Kangaroo Carrier is an accessory, requires assembly and must be securely mounted to your bicycle. The WeeRide website says setup should only take ten minutes.
Potential limitations of the WeeRide Kangaroo baby bike seat, and other front-mounted baby bike seats are: there is not a lot of room between a rider and the handlebars, limiting the age/size of child that can be accommodated – they are best for children age 1 to 3; clearly you can only carry one child at a time in a forward-mounted baby bike seat (though you could carry a second on a rear-mounted seat); depending on the seat design it can interfere with your pedaling, as your knees may hit it - this can be especially uncomfortable for longer rides; the high center of gravity makes tipping an issue, especially when mounting and dismounting (i.e. you always need to keep a hand on the bike); loading and unloading a child can be especially challenging for smaller adults; and remember, while you are riding, if you fall over, the bike seat falls over. Although a child is in most ways more protected in the front position, it also means that the adult rider may land on top of the child in the event of a spill. An additional risk of a front-mounted seat is that an item dropped by the child can catch the front spokes, causing a head-first fall – so make sure your child does not carry anything while riding.
At $59.99, the WeeRide Kangaroo Carrier is definitely an item to consider. Though your kids will outgrow it a lot quicker than a bicycle trailer, such as those made by Burley or Chariot, or a Carrier Bike like the Zigo Leder or Taga Bike, it is a good entry point into family biking.

AceShowbiz - "The Talk" co-presenter Julie Chen, who also hosts "Big Brother", shared her feelings about the offensive remarks made on the CBS show by the contestants. During a Monday discussion with Aisha Tyler, Sharon Osbourne, Sara Gilbert and Sheryl Underwood, Chen said she took offense at the insensitive comments, especially the ones that made fun of Asians.
"When I first heard found out that Aaryn [Gries], who is a 22-year-old girl, made anti-gay, anti-black and anti-Asian comments, I have to be honest, the Asian ones hit me the most. I heard about her describing Asians as 'squinty-eyed' and 'go make a bowl of rice,' " Chen said. "It stung. I took it personally; I'm a human being."
"The really sad part was it took me back to the '70s when I was growing up in Queens and when I was 7 years old being bullied being called a chink and people pulling their eyes. But it took me back so many years and I thought to myself: Wow I haven't heard comments like that. The year is 2013 ... and then I felt ignorant."
"Wow, there are people who still live in this country who feel that way and act that way. Yes, there is. Yes, there is. And afterward, it just made me sad because she's 22 and she's college-educated," she added.
CBS initially censored the TV broadcast, though those unsavory remarks appeared on the internet feed. After getting criticized for not exposing the racists, the network decided to air some of the derogatory terms and show how the other HouseGuests reacted to the insults.
"The Talk" co-host Sara Gilbert commended CBS for that, "I feel like it's good for people to see it and let these people deal with these consequences when they get out of the house."
Following the controversy, Aaryn was dropped by her modeling agency and lost a gig with Bella Petite magazine. Fellow contestant GinaMarie, a pageant coordinator, was also fired from her day job for throwing insensitive remarks.

Lemon Grass-Ginger Butter
How to Make It
Step 1
Trim and discard tough tops and root ends from lemon grass. Remove and discard tough outer layers. With the flat side of a knife, crush tender inner stalks; cut crushed stalks into 2-inch pieces. In a 1 1/2- to 2-quart pan over high heat, combine lemon grass pieces, butter, ginger, and garlic. When butter is melted, turn heat to low and stir often until flavors are blended, 15 to 20 minutes. With a slotted spoon, lift out and discard lemon grass. Use butter hot. If making up to 1 day ahead, let cool, cover, and chill; reheat to serve.

Ok, this was what we did at Chef's Secrets with Irene--> making of You Tiao ( Crisp Chinese Crullers), Beancurd jelly (tau hui or dou fu fa) and rojak. It was a hands-on class that was pretty intense as we had to stand all through the lesson. However, it was great! :)Wikipedia describes You Tiao as, "sometimes called fried bread stick, is a long, golden-brown, deep fried strip of dough in Chinese cuisine and other other East and Southeast Asian cuisines and is usually eaten for breakfast. Conventionally, youtiao are lightly salted and made so they can be torn lengthwise in two. Youtiao are normally eaten as an accompaniment for rice congee or soy milk. "
It is pretty hard to find fresh and delish youtiao in the US and hence, although it is one of the unhealthiest foods, I still wanted to learn how to make it. ;p You know, cultural foods are a must once in a while. *grin*
BTW, this recipe is the Hong Kong's style you tiao. Singapore's style uses the yeast dough method. Irene said that Hong Kong version is preferred because the youtiao still remains crisp even after several hours.
Ingredients: -makes 10 pieces
Flour ( 1/2 bread flour + 1/2 plain flour, if bread flour has too much gluten use all plain flour)
baking powder,doubel action, 1 tsp
alum, 1 tsp ( level)
baking soda, 1 tsp
salt, 1 tsp
ammonia, 1/2 tsp
water, 220ml
glutinous rice flour, enough for coating hands
VIDEO!! Showing how the hong kong style you tiao is made. This video explains many of the techniques stated.
A. Mix flour and baking powder in a bowl.
B. In another bowl, add alum, baking soda, salt and ammonia. Add 220 ml water. bubbles will be seen. Stir until the mixture dissolves
C. Add the above water mixture to flour mixture. Mix well, with spoon until evenly coated. Cover with plastic sheet to allow fermentaiton process.
D. Write down knead times -> 4 times, every 15 minutes
for example:
1. 3.25- mix
2. 3.40 ( don't have to pull too high)
3. 3.55 ( able to fold higher and if not sticky, don't need to add glutinous flour)
4. 4.10
5. 4.25
And this is what you do for the Knead process:
1. Using the back of fingers, punch the dough down 8 times
2. Fold over 4 times
3. Flip dough over
4. Punch 8 times again. (never do more than 8 times as will over stretch the dough)
5. Cover with plastic to prevent drying
E. Coat plastic bag with shortening. Cut the dough into 2 batches. Leave it to ferment for 4 hours.
F. Turn dough onto a floured board with floured hands, form a long roll. Allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before cutting into strips.
G. Cut into wide strips. Pick up a strip and then place another strip on top of it.
H. Using a stick, dip in flour and press through the center, to join the strips securely.
I. Pick up a strip of dough and stretch lightly, drop into hot oil, turning continuously until golden brown.
J. Drain and serve hot.
* Fried you tiao keeps for up to 6 months, toast in the oven.
*If allowed to ferment for 4 hours, results will be better. Minmum is 2 hours. It can be left in the fridge over night to be fried the next day.
*Can be kept for a maximum of 2 days in the fridge before frying.

City Cabs are proud to support many local charities. It's great to be able to put something back into the community through sponsorship or through raising awareness.
Supporting charities is a major part of our ethical and corporate social responsibilities policy.
We are proud to support the following charities
Maggie's Edinburgh
Every year 300,000 people in the UK are diagnosed with cancer, facing tough questions, exhausting treatment and difficult emotions that can range from anxiety to loneliness and isolation. These challenges affect not only the person with cancer, but their family and friends too.
Maggie's is there for everyone and anyone affected by cancer, offering a programme of support that has been shown to strengthen physical and emotional well-being.
Built alongside the hospital, Maggie's Centres are places with professional staff on hand to offer the support people need. They are places to find practical advice about benefits and eating well; places where qualified experts provide emotional support; friendly places to meet other people; calming spaces simply to sit quietly with a cup of tea. Maggie's Centres are unique, welcoming and uplifting places and no other charity offers what Maggie's does.
"For me Maggie's represented a community, a place which was extraordinarily welcoming and where I could just crash out. You didn't have to put up a front, but could just be. I still call by to catch up with friends I made there, which says it all." Mike Charkow, Maggie's Edinburgh.
Cash for Kids is the official charity of Forth One, they've been helping children in Edinburgh, The Lothians and Fife for over 30 years.
Cash for Kids helps children who are disadvantaged through poverty and who are sick or disabled. They also help groups and organisations that work to improve the lives of children in our community. They're always looking for individuals and organisations to get involved.
MoonWalk Edinburgh
Walk the Walk came into being 16 years ago when 13 women Power Walked the New York City Marathon in their bras to raise money and awareness for breast cancer. What started out as a one-off fundraising event has blossomed into a thriving multi-million pound charity, raising to date in excess of £83 million for vital breast cancer causes.
The charity was founded by Nina Barough who at that time ran her own production company. Nina woke one morning with what seemed like a 'fun' idea to Power Walk the New York City Marathon in decorated bras to raise money for a good cause. What makes the beginning of this story so magical is that Nina at that time had no experience of fundraising or taking part in a marathon nor did she know anyone who had been affected by breast cancer.
Walkers in The MoonWalk Scotland have raised over £17.2 million since the first event in 2006, with most of the money staying in Scotland to help improve the lives of people with cancer.
Kindred (formerly known as Special Needs Information Point, or SNIP) provides advocacy and information on services available to children with additional support needs and their carers. We also can help with completing grant and benefits applications, or can simply provide a listening ear.
Based at the Sick Children's Hospital in Edinburgh we work with the family of any child receiving treatment at the hospital. We can also work with families of children in Fife, and the Lothians.
You can find out more about what we do here www.kindred-scotland.org.
We welcome enquiries from parents, carers, professionals and anyone else with an interest in additional support needs. We do not charge you for information, and we will call you back if you contact us by phone. Our Helpline is open Monday to Friday 10am to 4pm on 0131 536 0583 (You can also call the Fife office directly on 01383 420 504).
You can also get in touch with us by emailing email@example.com or if you are in the Fife area at the new Fife base email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
We have been using City Cabs for several years now and find that we are listened to when any issue comes up to make the use of taxis by families of children or young people with additional needs more enjoyable – we would like to thank them for that and for their on-going support of Kindred.

"A small group holiday in Finnish Lapland, staying in wild places, chasing northern lights, snowshoeing and finding the child within. Although note this is for minimum age eighteen years old. "
HighlightsChristmas in Lapland holiday |Northern Lights| Snowshoeing | Husky sledding | Nellim | Option to stay in Aurora Bubble | Wilderness huts and hotel | Reindeer farm | Christmas dinner and most other meals

This really is a sublime seasonal holiday for those who really want to experience Christmas in a traditional way.

These are the remote lands of the indigenous Sámi people making this not only a fun way to spend Christmas but also a cultural one, taking in local traditions such as reindeer herding. And of course seeing the Northern Lights, which are considered sacred by the Sámi with many believing that the Lights are a manifestation of the souls of their ancestors.
Your base over the four nights will be the wonderful Kultahovi New River Hotel. Here the rooms offer a touch of luxury with a private sauna and your own balcony or patio.
As for Christmas itself, in Finland it is celebrated on Christmas Eve when you will be treated to a traditional dinner in your wilderness hotel, with local specialities. This hotel is family run and prides itself on fine locally sourced food, making Christmas here extremely special.

Responsible tourism: Christmas holiday in Finland, Northern Lights over Lake Inari
EnvironmentIn admiring the beauty of Lake Inari and the fells that surround it, a visitor cannot allow themselves to be so mesmerised that they forget to carry out their admiration in a responsible manner. Whether a visitor or local guide, a person must ensure that their actions do not cause any damage to this pristine part of Northern Finland.
During fast-paced activities like snowmobiling and dogsledding, it is easy to zoom through areas of natural importance with little time to think of how they should be treated. Indeed, the beauty of such areas can prove rather distracting and make people forget about their actions! To counter this, our guides give holidaymakers full instructions on how to use snowmobiles and control dogsleds so that they can drive as responsibly as possible, greatly reducing the possibility of damage to the outdoor settings.
In addition, guides lead visitors on specially selected trails which provide excellent, non-disruptive viewpoints. The snowmobiles used run on four-stroke engines, which are notably less noisy and considerably cleaner. A particular highlight of how Nellim enables its guests to make the most of its environment is the Aurora Camp setup. Set in specific natural locations, the Aurora Camps make use of campfire light rather than disturbing artificial lights. The emphasis is on breaking free from everyday technological distractions (apart from the obvious use of Aurora forecasts!) and focusing on nature.
CommunityThis Christmas trip to Nellim and Lake Inari does much to build awareness of local customs. Along the way, it also benefits the local community. For many, Christmas Day is held as the day of celebration and traditional festivities. It is an instructive (and thoroughly enjoyable) contrast to observe the Finnish practice of celebrating on Christmas Eve. Holidaymakers will be served a Christmas dinner with typical local dishes, providing a friendly and delicious challenge to their usual concept of festive fare.
This holiday features a visit to a Sami reindeer farm. The Sami and the reindeer have a time-honoured relationship which goes back thousands of years, and it is heart-warming to see this kept alive in the modern age. Holidaymakers can enjoy the Christmassy feel of meeting reindeer while simultaneously putting aside stereotypes to see the dedication and effort that goes into rearing these animals. In doing so, they are helping to keep a valuable local industry alive. Throughout this holiday, we employ the services of Finnish guides to ensure that the local Finnish industry can benefit. This also means that visitors have a truly authentic experience of the country and its communities.

If your daughter or son is in grades 6 - 12 and is interested in joining the Clay Target League (CTL) team, please read on.
It's time to start thinking about GMHS CTL for 2018. Minnesota expects to have over 12,000 students participating in CTL this year, and soon it will be a rare school that doesn't participate in this new school sport. The Minnesota State High School League now partners with the MN CTL and recognizes clay target shooting as a sport just like basketball, volleyball, track and football. Girls and boys will have the ability to letter in the sport, be included in the school yearbook, and compete in a tournament to become state and national champions.

The mystery of the feet that have been washing up on Pacific Northwest shorelines has intensified with the discovery of a foot at a Washington construction site.
The extremity was discovered on Saturday in a hiking boot in Port Orchard, near Seattle. Police were called and on Monday cadaver dogs found what appeared be human remains buried nearby.
Those bones and the foot have been sent to a medical examiner to determine whether they are human.
Six feet – one of which wound up to be a bear paw – were found in running shoes on beaches along the south coast of B.C. between August 2007 and June 2008.
Investigators say it's unlikely this recent case is related to the others.

Irish swimmers were in impressive form on the final day of competition at the National Aquatic Centre in Dublin to bring to 28 the number of swimmers qualified for International events this Summer.
The Irish Open Swimming Championships acted as the last opportunity for swimmers to meet qualification times for this Summer's events including World Championships, World University Games, European Games, European Youth Olympics and World Junior Championships.
Shani Stallard achieved the World University Games consideration time as she won the Irish title in the 200m Individual Medley. Stallard's time of 2:17.58 held of Lisburn's Bethany Carson (2:20.88) but it was NCSA's Evie Pfeifer who won the event in 2:14.38. Another American took control in the men's event with Alex Lebed clocking 2:03.68 ahead of Ireland's first placed swimmer Ben Griffin (Aer Lingus) in 206.92.
Castlebar's Nicholas Quinn won the 200m Breaststroke Final in a World University Games Automatic Qualification time of 2:13.18, that's brings to ten, the number of qualified swimmers for the event in Gwangju, South Korea in July. Westport's Dearbhail McNamara won the Irish tile in the women's event posting a 2:38.44 swim.
New Ross' Grainne Murphy took the 1500m Freestyle out ahead of the competition and was in control up to 1,000 metres before NCSA's Joy Field caught her. Field went on to win the race in 16 minutes 39.70 seconds while Murphy touched in third to take the Irish title in 16:47.25 bringing her title tally to three over the weekend.
Irish record holder Andrew Meegan won his first national title of the championships in a fantastic battle with Athlone's Brendan Gibbons. The two were separated by the smallest of margins in the end with Meegan getting the touch in 8:17.65 ahead of Gibbons in 8:17.79. NCSA's Matthew Hirschberger claimed his third win of the weekend adding to the 1500m and 400m as he placed first in the event in 8:02.57.
Having set a new Irish Senior Record in the 100m Butterfly semi-final, UCD's Shauna O'Brien went on to win the Final in 1:00.56, just off the 1:00.21 she swam yesterday. Tallaght's Brendan Hyland won the men's event in a time of 54.45, also close to his own Irish Record (54.27).
In the 50m Backstroke finals, 15 year old Issie Hayes, who will represent Ireland at this Summer's European Games took her first Irish title in 30.06 seconds while in the men's event Brian O'Sullivan of the NAC Swim Club won gold in 26.84 seconds.
In the championship's final event the NCSA swimmers dominated the women's 50m Freestyle with Katherine Drabot beating her teammates to first place in 25.81 while the first Irish swimmer home was Bethany Firth in 26.30 seconds, claiming her second national title of the weekend. Doubling up on Freestyle titles also was Firth's club mate at Ards Curtis Coulter, he added the 50m to his 100m title from Saturday in 23.07 seconds.
Commenting on the weekend's racing Swim Ireland National Performance Director Peter Banks said "It's great to see 28 swimmers now qualified to represent Ireland this summer in various International events. We have had some disappointments of non-qualifiers but I believe we have a great team building for 2016."
Next up for Irish swimmers will be the European Games in Baku. A squad of 12 swimmers and 1 diver will represent Ireland at the Games in June.

What I'm Into - Link Up!
Jumped on the bandwagon and am watching Downton Abbey. It's a BBC drama that's gained lots of popularity in the US, and it's right up my alley.
Isaac and I got this Lost box set a year ago, and we've been rewatching Lost all year. We're finishing it now and are about to start what I'm really excited about - the special features. I'm hoping that hearing the director's commentary will give a little bit more satisfaction with the way the last season went.
We watched Midnight in Paris (Woody Allen is SO quirky) and the last two Planet of the Apes movies, which were acceptable to both Isaac and I, which is always a good thing!
I cleared my ipod of almost all Brad Paisley and Selah for the first time since college. I'm just tired of them. In their place, my constant fallback artists that I always want to hear are Josh Garrels and Mumford & Sons. This month I'm also moved to tears by Gungor all over again.
I read a book called The Disobedient Girl by Ru Freeman, the story of two different women in Bangladesh. It was a stunning combination of a real women's story and a bit of a mystery. The two stories were very separate and it took me about halfway through the book to get a clue to how they'd be connected at all. It might appear to be a bit of a feminist book, but I'd say it's more about human rights and equality, as it deals to the social problems of servant hood and caste as well as women and sexuality. It was good.... but tragic. Seems I always like truly tragic stories. Maybe because they often reflect reality?
Also read Twenty Chickens for a Saddle by Robyn Scott, which is a fantastic memoir of a girl that grew up in Africa in a quirky family. If you like memoirs and multicultural literature, it's highly recommended.
Now I'm picking up a book I never got around to reading in undergrad - Psychology, Theology, and Spirituality by Mark McMinn. I've been sold on the philosophy of integration, and I don't need to read any more on that way of thinking about Christianity and psychology. However, I DO look forward to reading the practical side of the this book, that examines various counseling practices in light of a philosophy of integration. Yay.
I've been attempting to try a pinterest recipe once a week. This week it was Roasted Tomatoes with Shrimp and Feta, and it was delicious AND healthy. And because I hardly have time to make desserts and extras, I gave up on making my own desserts the last couple of weeks and instead made Ghirardelli brownie mix, which is by the way the very best boxed brownie mix. Isaac was in awe and has been begging me to make it again.
Isaac and I have taken up walking together as soon as I get home from work in the second half of the week and over the weekend. We're committed in the evenings for the first half of the week, but it's so nice to get to Thursday and head outside. There's a big apartment complex across the street from ours that has a big stream, pond, and walking path that runs through it. We walk it and then stop in a field and kick a soccer ball around while Judah delightedly walks in circles, exclaiming over his ability to get around in the grass. So great. And also amazing because so far winter just totally skipped Dallas, and it's 70 degrees out.
Oh man, so content. With Isaac out of classes, my burden is so eased because he's carrying more of a load around the apartment. and I'm not juggling both a full-time job and full house-running duties. The future is still uncertain, but at present I love raising my son, I feel so thankful for a loving, humbly-serving husband, I have a great job, dear friends, and I am familiar and stable in this place. It's an odd (and so predictable) thing to feel so settled just before potentially leaving, but I am at peace with that strange dynamic. I know we must go because to stay is to give comfort a priority above obedience. If I chose to mourn and be afraid, I would lose the peace I enjoy right now.
And so, since so many people have been doing "What I'm Into" posts, write your own and link up here!

OK, so I stopped by your blog on purpose to ask you for a link to a post of yours I can't find, AND THEN read this and was like "OMG i love Josh Garrels too!!" AND THENNN read your Mark McMinn comment and just got kinda creeped out. He's one of my professors and goes to my church :-) and he's super awesome in person as well. I am reading his "Integrative Psychology" right now and I am loovvvinggg it. Which is convenient, because he's also one of my professors!!
Anyway, so we like the same things. I think we knew that though.
My post request... awhile back after you posted about your roommates' marriage ending :-(, you I think did a separate post that talked about, among other things, how you've been thinking how you made the best decisions you could in marrying Isaac, but so much is out of peoples' hands, and what you know is that you are thankful for the husband and marriage you have. ...Do you know what I mean? I couldn't find it and I'm wondering if you took it off, but would it be possible to email it to me? I was describing it to a friend who's on the verge of getting engaged and I just thought it would be helpful and encouraging to her.
(I would have emailed you all this but I couldn't find your email address anywhere- sorry to leave such a novel of a comment!)

*Also, the "Which is convenient" sentence I meant to delete after I added that he was my professor above it. Anyway.

We all have the same taste in media. Especially music. From Brad Paisley of the past to Mumford and Garrels and Gungor. We ended up not going to Bloom, which is the church Gungor leads at, but we stop in every now and then to worship with them.

Criminal Justice Dialogues
The Portals Project in Mexico City this Summer 2017 will primarily focus on Criminal Justice Dialogues with Baltimore and Los Angeles in addition to special conversations and activities to be announced.
Criminal Justice Dialogues are conversations between cities and communities around the U.S. and Mexico about how people feel about policing in their communities as part of a research study conducted by the Justice Collaboratory at Yale University. These mutual one-on-one conversations on both sides ask participants to consider the following question:
There is a great deal in the news about how police interact with people in the communities where they work. How do you feel about police in your community?
Participants are also asked to complete short, confidential survey and to consent to being videotaped as part of this study. Researchers at Yale will utilize the confidential conversations to understand common themes that emerge in them. Video files are kept on a secured server that only these principal investigators have access to and all videos are professionally transcribed. Significant measures are undertaken to protect each participants' confidentiality. The video will never be used in presentations and the transcribed and written version will exist at Yale University to help to contribute to further knowledge and record on the topic.
Read more about the dialogues here.
