burst full of energy
so for the past three days i have had the biggest burst of energy yet. there are times i have forgotten i am even thirty eight (yes thirty eight) weeks prego! here is a list of all i have accomplished without feeling too tired or low in the past five days!
can we say major nesting mode?!
- set up our room to fit our birthing tub
- rearranged the kids room
- took the kids to the water park
- help paint the kids "new" dresser
- took the kids to their first movie theatre experience
- took the kids to church (solo)
- took the kids to dad's baseball game solo
- helped put the hardware on the "new" dresser
- helped clean off the back porch by removing old plants and getting rid of the sandbox
- reorganized the kids clothes to fit in their new dresser
- rearranged the kids room again to put the dresser in a good spot
- had friends over for dinner
- grocery store
- five loads of laundry folded and put away
- trip the park
- work
- got a new dishwasher installed so had to clean the kitchen after that
- cleaned the bathroom
- reorganized the closets to fit everything we need and remove all we don't
- get a "giveaway" pile together
- reorganized the junk drawers in the kitchen
- beach day with the kids for a few hours
- cleaned the floors
- trip to costco to pick up prints
- put the prints into their frames
- trip to home depot to pick up last minute reorganizing materials for laundry room
- finishing online traffic school (from a speeding ticket a few weeks back)
- all the while taking care of the two kids and making breakfast lunch and dinner for all of us.
i know there is a bunch more i could include but it is all the little details that are our usual everyday life, like visiting friends and reading books and playing.
hoping this burst of energy is just the final last push before baby arrives so i can get all the little things finished and feel "ready"!

Matthew Shipp - One
- Dostępność: Jest
- Producent: Thirsty Ear Recordings
- Cena brutto: 35,00 zł49,00 zł
- (Cena netto: 28,46 zł)
Matthew Shipp to rozchwytywany i utalentowany pianista oraz wokalista jazzowy. Na koncie ma wspólpracę m.in. z DJ Spookym, Scannerem i Anti-Pop Consortium.
Więcej informacji o artyście:
Ascap has recently honored Matthew Shipp with their Va n g u a rd award, making him the first artist so recognized for his brilliant contributions to the music community. With 'One', Matthew Shipp encapsulates the sum total of his career with his daring solo album. Already generating a buzz in SPIN, and LA WEEKLY, 'One'will be included in the 'Top Tip' column in Billboard. Mr. Shipp will also be featured on the cover of All About Jazz as the press just starts to roll in.
'Even though I've been involved with many types of projects, at the end of the day I am a pianist and I have a need to express my poetic imagination in a solo session on the instrument.'- Matthew Shipp.
There are no distractions or fillers here. From Shipp's soul, to his hand's, straight to your ear's, this re c o rd pulls you into his roots. Close your eyes and feel as if you are 'One' with Matthew's fingers, as they push you up and down the explosive arsenal that exists in his keys.'
"Latest instalment of Ashley Wales' excellent new music series sees iconoclastic NY free jazz pianist (and artistic director of hip indie label ThirstyEar's Blue Series) Shipp play a rare solo piano concert. He's collaborated with the likes of Anti-Pop Consortium, Spring Heel Jack, DJ Spooky and Patti Smith, and is a hugely imaginative improvisor who draws on the rich heritage of Andrew Hill and Cecil Taylor while sounding like no one but himself. Get down early!"
Timeout Web
Recenzja z Allaboutjazz.com:
It might be argued that the solo piano recital is a fraught thing on record, and certainly there have been examples in the past where self-indulgence has taken over from the rigours of self-editing. Similarly, unless a pianist has at least a reasonably firm musical identity, it might be the case that the listener's attention starts to wander accordingly.
This particular example of the genre largely avoids such hazards, despite the fact that in places the spirits of both Mal Walrdron and Cecil Taylor stalk the ground. They are, however, a welcome change from the mannerisms of McCoy Tyner, out of which some contemporary pianists make a living.
Despite this, the old truism about a musician being his own man or her own woman is especially pertinent in Shipp's case. There isn't a single idea here that outstays its welcome, and on the likes of "A Rose Is A Rose" Shipp proves himself to be a musical explorer who is unafraid of taking his time, a point which more or less guarantees the absence of pyrotechnical flash. Instead, Shipp's approach is a far more personal one that is not at all dependent on such staples.
The very quality of sparseness might amount to the debt he owes to someone like Waldron, and this is most evident here on "Patmos," where Shipp patiently sets about the task of constructing the kind of stasis that was a hallmark of Waldron's mature work. At times like this, it's as though Shipp is more concerned with the sonic qualities of the piano as such, as opposed to any more musically conventional concerns.
Such comparisons do however run the risk of deflecting attention away from Shipp's individuality, which is the very thing that makes this programme so worthwhile. This is especially the case with a piece like "Gamma Ray," where the nature of his work is evocative at the same time as it's entirely his own.
If indeed it is the case that the solo piano recital is fraught with potential hazards, then Shipp manages to avoid them through the simple expedient of writing his own rulebook. In that respect, at least, he moves in select company.

State enters into two-year agreement with facility it sued
The state of Michigan has entered into a corporate integrity agreement with a nursing home chain it sued earlier this year over inadequate care.The two-year agreement with Metron Integrated Health Systems calls for an outside monitor, a list of obligations that must be fulfilled and state veto power over sales or acquisitions, according to the Bureau of National Affairs. Metron also agreed to pay the state approximately $80,000 to cover the costs of the investigation.
As part of the agreement, the state agreed to suspend the civil lawsuit it filed in March. If Metron meets the requirements after two years, the state will drop the lawsuit. Metron is a privately held company in western Michigan with nine skilled nursing facilities that offer basic, skilled, and hospice care.

On the way home from work one night I was able to catch an episode of the show Indivisible on NPR. If you're not familiar with it, Indivisible chronicles the first 100 days of Donald Trump's presidency and has covered a ton of interesting topics in ways that don't necessarily have to do with politics. Anyways, the episode I listened to was America's Shrinking Middle Class (you can listen to it here).
The discussion focused on things like wage stagnation (several callers expressed frustration that while their employers were posting record profits their wages were staying flat) and how student loan debt holds Millennials back from doing things like buying houses and starting families.
Yes, over the last few decades productivity has increased compared to wages. By how much, though, is debatable.
We also know that college degrees, healthcare, and houses cost a lot more than they used to. And that thing about CEO pay being 2000 times more than that of hourly workers.
Elsewhere on the internet, reports of anywhere from 50-75% of Americans saying they live paycheck to paycheck have blown up. And we know most people don't have the cash on hand to cover a $400 emergency.
The callers had real concerns. They sound like good people who just want to do good. Or well. Which one is it?
Only two people do good: Jesus and Superman. Everyone else does well.
Doing Well, But Up To No Good
Some of us are doing well. We've either taken paths that led to lucrative careers, or done our part to stay healthy and informed, or learned to live a lifestyle that values time and freedom as opposed to materialism and consumerism like 99% of their fellow Americans. Some folks are doing all of it. Some none of it. Some are more able than others.
Although I'm sure we all had good intentions. You know, the American Dream, right?
So in our desire to do well, what have we done?
- We live in houses twice as big.
- We spend more of our food budgets (if we even have one!) on take out than groceries.
- We spend $400 billion a year on fast food, and 60-70% of that is IN THE DRIVE THRU! DOUBLE FUCKING WHAMMY!
- About 40% of us have credit card debt, and those of us who carry a balance (aka don't pay it off every month) owe on average over $16,000.
- We've extended our car loans to 72 months, which doesn't matter because we'll trade up after a couple years and just roll that debt onto our new loan.
This is probably the worst of it, but just for good measure, we've also, as a collective, have continued to put ourselves first and our neighbors second.
Consider two options:
- Jeff makes $75k a year, while most of his neighbors make $50k a year.
- Jeff makes $75k a year, while most of his neighbors make $100k a year.
Chances are, Jeff is going to be happier in #1, even though he makes the same amount of money in both. Status is a huge factor in happiness for people, and comparing earnings is an easy way to measure status.
Ask anyone if they agree with the saying "A rising tide lifts all boats".
I think a lot of people would.
Then ask the same person whether or not they would pay higher taxes to reduce pollution in their city. Less pollution might improve the health of everyone and lower healthcare costs, giving the city more money to spend on education and infrastructure, which would further improve the lives of it's citizens. Some would, but I gather a lot more wouldn't, especially if the initial issue doesn't affect them directly.
It also doesn't lift their boat fast enough, especially compared when the alternative is a juicy tax cut.
Less taxes means more money in your pocket and a better house, car, TV, and restaurant selection. All the better to keep up/surpass/conquer the Jonses', amiright?
The People are at war. With themselves. Alongside globalization and rising CEO pay and outsourcing and rising living costs is us, figuring out how to make our boats go higher, how to get a better car than our coworkers, how to present a more exciting life on facebook than our "friends", how to show everyone that we're doing well.
We've become sicker, poorer, and more miserable. We take on more debt, save less, and are so occupied with our own little boats that we don't care that we're destroying the commons just to live shittier lives in a country that's crumbling with worse leaders and less knowledge all for the sake of doing well instead of doing good.
When you lower the tide for everybody, your boat sinks too.

ATLANTA A baseball player from Bluffton University in Ohio died this morning, a week after he was injured in a bus crash that killed six other people, a hospital spokesman said.
Zach Arend, 18, had been in critical condition since the bus went off a highway overpass before dawn last Friday.
He died about 6 a.m., said Grady Memorial Hospital spokeswoman Denise Simpson. Arend s grandmother, Ann Miller, had said he had suffered chest and abdominal injuries, a fractured pelvis and collapsed lungs.
He had a great sense of humor, said Mike Engler, a sophomore who was a student manager for the team and suffered minor injuries in the crash. He got along with everybody.
Arend, 18, of Oakwood in northwest Ohio, was critically injured last Friday when a charter bus carrying the baseball team from Bluffton University plowed off an overpass onto Interstate 75. Four players, the bus driver and his wife died in the crash.
James Grandey, Bluffton's head coach, was listed in stable condition today in the intensive care unit at Piedmont Hospital. Two players remained hospitalized at Grady Memorial, one in critical condition and one in fair condition, Simpson said. Another player was in stable condition at Atlanta Medical Center.
Arend was a 6-foot-3 freshman pitcher who played at Paulding High School.
Arend s parents, Dana and Caroline, wrote in a family statement that he was a wonderful son. He loved baseball, and he loved being with his family and friends.
His mother is a first-grade teacher in the school district.
It s such a shock for so many people because he is so well known, Superintendent Bill Shugars said.
Bluffton University President James M. Harder announced Arend's passing at the school today.
We all grieve the loss of Zach Arend and ask for continuing prayers during this difficult time for his parents and family, as well as for all of Zach s teammates, President Harder said in a statement.
Funeral services were held this week for players Scott Harmon, Tyler Williams and Cody Holp, and for bus driver Jerry Niemeyer and his wife, Jean.
The funeral for player David Betts, of Bryan, is scheduled for 5 o'clock this evening.

Anyone who has experienced chronic migraines or headaches has surely felt sadness or anxiety about them. They can be overwhelming and make one feel very helpless. Chronic migraines and headaches sometimes seem as though they are driving the bus.
When I experience migraines and of course my daily headache (NDPH), I often lose heart. I can feel as though I am at the mercy of my disease. And rightfully so, since my life revolves around whether my head is "good enough" or not.
I do not work because my head is not able to handle it. I rarely go to church because my head cannot handle it. I rarely get together with friends because my head cannot handle it.
"It is not fair."
Ah, this has been a frequent phrase in my conversation with myself, with God, with my husband. And, it very well may be that it is not fair. So many things have happened outside of my choosing as a result of this disease. But, how does this help me walk through the pain?
"It is not fair" may help me momentarily cope with what seems like unimaginable circumstances, but the long term damage is that I become a victim to the disease. And, in result, I turn deeper in my despair.
I do not want to be a victim. I want to be a survivor. This disease means that there will be many battles ahead. I want to focus on what will bring me through each migraine and back to my life. I want to carry close to my heart thoughts that will daily encourage me to walk through my NDPH. I want thoughts I can hold onto that will bring me through the battles that wear me out and pull me down. I want thoughts that will hold me up when I am horrified by what I am having to face.
One of the things that has bothered me the most about having disabling migraines and NDPH is this loss of control in my life. Since there are an abundance of things out of my control, I decided to come up with a list of things that are in my control. It is not very long, but it is extremely helpful.
My list:
1. My Diet- This means I have a choice what I put in my mouth.
2. My Exercise- This means when I am able to, I have a choice to keep my body active.
3. My Head Game- This means I have a choice in how I think about my migraines and NDPH. And, I can choose how I react to them.
May it be written on the back of my eyelids that even when everything else is taken away, I still have control in regards to how I react to the situation I am facing. I still have a choice.
I choose to be a survivor. Onward into battle.

ReD, Verifi Sign Strategic Fraud Partnership
March 13, 2014
Risk-management solutions provider Verifi and antifraud technology vendor ReD yesterday said they have formed a strategic partnership to grow their respective portfolio of customers and jointly develop new products. Under the agreement, Los Angeles-based Verifi will contribute chargeback and transaction data from its Cardholder Dispute Resolution Network (CDRN) to ReD's own fraud information-sharing network, the ReD Fraud Xchange.
Additionally, the companies said ReD will offer CDRN to its customers as part of its array of fraud-prevention services and Verifi will offer ReD Shield's comprehensive fraud protection to its clients.
"This partnership represents a giant step forward in the fight against payment fraud," said Matthew Katz, CEO and founder of Verifi. "The alliance expands the capability of our payment and risk management solutions and, together, we're better positioned to safeguard merchants through all phases of the payment lifecycle."

Two cowl patterns June 22
I hinted the other day that I have two new cowl patterns coming up. Both patterns are currently in the hands of the tech editor. All that's left other than that is to write up descriptions, take some better pictures on my dress form, Nicole… and to name the things. Most of it is easy stuff. No biggie. Just a little time investment, and good light for photos at the right time of day, and it's a snap. The names—Arg. Naming the things is sometimes the hardest part of the whole project. I've been doing fairly well lately, but for these two cowls I keep coming up with blanks and dead ends, so I'm hoping you all can help.
When you scroll down a little bit you'll see a couple truly awful pictures that I took just after the sun rose this morning. They're horrid photos, especially the glaring orange of the one, but they should be good enough to start the juices flowing. I hope. Their working titles are, respectively, Twisted Cowl 1 and Twisted Cowl 2.
The small picture to the right is a more accurate photo of the color of the orange-red yarn.
So far I've bandied about ideas from naming them after twin Greek gods, plants with twisted stems, buildings with twisted columns or other twisted decorations, leaves (the orange one reminds me of acanthus leaves, or sometimes of thistles).
Also, if it helps, if you happen to have these two yarns yourself, both yarns are from Claudia Hand Painted Yarns, her merino Sock yarn, in Indian Turquoise and Scarlett O'Hara.
Go wild. Think of stuff. Let me know what your ideas are by replying to this post before midnight Friday, 24 June, 2011. The person (or persons) who come up with names I end up using will get a free copy of both patterns when I release them.
I've closed out comments for this post, as the time for making name suggestions has closed. I'll post here when I've decided which ones of all the fabulous names you all came up with I'm going to use. Thank you all!

Ellis Ashbrook has that kind of sound. This New York band of four is coming to Smith's Olde Bar in Atlanta on the 7th bringing their prog-rock, jazz and funk with them. Come to the Midtown bar to unwind because we all know how the case of the Monday's can be!
Until then, check out this interview they did for the blog. They talk about their name - which could easily confuse folks who are equally confused with the GROUP Travis Porter - and their latest project Meridia.
How did you guys get together and form Ellis Ashbrook?
The guitarist John and drummer Alex started playing together as kids. Bassist Jonathan joined up around the beginning of college and Natalie, keys and vocalist, at the end of college. Several other members have come and gone over the years, but the 4 of us have been living and playing together in NYC the last 4 years.
Where did that name come from?
Ellis was a Guinea Pig, Ashbrook is a street in Rhode Island. Can you dig it?
I sense a maturity with this group, when it comes to your sound. Like, chill or folk rock of some sort. Am I at least on the right track? How would you describe your music?
We wear many hats. For instance, on our latest album Meridia you will hear down tempo jazz, progressive organ-driven funk, Tool-esque riff rock, saxophone, strings, 20 guitars at once and a lizard tongue bass.
Where do your musical influences come from? Do you guys all come from the same background musically?
Yes and no. Natalie grew up on classical music and basically sans contemporary pop-culture save Elton John, Xanadu, Sheena Easton and Whitney Houston. We also have a strong 60's and 70's classic rock, prog-rock, and funk foundation mixed with the rock music of the early 90's. Lately, there's been more of a jazz and electronic influence, but we are constantly exposing our ears to new sounds and vibrations so our musical palate can grow and expand in unforeseen directions.
If "sometimes it's unassuming, unalarming" then why not watch? I guess I'm asking what's really going on in "No Please Don't Watch."
"No Please, Don't Watch" is about the beautiful, confident dualities that make people tick.
Does Meridia sound like this, lyrically? What else does this album's lyrical content contain?
The lyrical content of all our songs is based in sensation, observation, meditation and consecration. We encourage positivity, yet we embrace the dark depths of everyone's life experience.
How long did it take to create this album? What was making this project like?
Jerry Garcia said recording an album is like building a ship in a glass bottle, playing live is like sailing the ocean. Long before we were anywhere near a microphone we perfected song structures, lyrics, melodies and grooves so we could layer parts freely for days. Our motto became lay it all down then start building it up piece by piece.
What has touring been like so far? What do you guys look forward to the most (other than performing) when you come to Atlanta?
Haha off the previous question, touring is like building the proverbial ark. You can't be prepared, you create a flow and you go. We love local record stores and I am hoping Criminal Records is still around when we get there. Great food and vintage clothing are always a must too. Seeing the different worlds growing in each city is the best really, Brooklyn has its own flavor and we love it but there are so many wonderful meccas we have stumbled upon on tour. It's refreshing.

text: I have a toolkit that I use and travel with, most of which I couldn't do without. I mainly use it for supplying those that I've introduced to flashcarts over the years with games and applications. The contents: White foam carry case, Spare stylus, Acekard RPG (for copying games to a friend's microSD if they don't have it), MicroSD reader (from the R4), SD adapter, USB flash drive, Screen cloth, Flashing tool (pretty redundant nowadays) Do you have anything similar? If so, post the contents.

Don't stop praying for Ukraine!
Please don't stop praying for Ukraine! One of our in-country staff reported on March 24, "A large number of Russian troops have surrounded Ukraine on the north, east and southern borders. The Russian minister of Foreign affairs has promised that they will not make an intervention into Ukraine. The problem is, we have no reason to believe them. The situation is still extremely tense. If the Russian troops should go into Ukraine, we have reason to believe it would happen very suddenly and quickly. It would pose a physical threat to all of our branches and people. On the other hand, we might live with a tense situation for months, without anything actually happening. This is not just a physical battle. This is a spiritual battle! Ephesians 6:12-20." —Arne Tafjord, administrative staff

Whether you are considering simple alterations, a more complicated refurbishment or extension or a completely new building, a chartered surveyor will be able to advise on all stages from inception to completion.
The time and effort spent on the planning and preparation stages of a building project are vital. If you get this right, you can save considerable amounts of time and trouble on the actual construction work.
Are procedures different for alterations and for new building work?
In essence, no. The same logical approach will ensure that you achieve what you are aiming for with the minimum of expense and fuss but there are some differences in detail.
If you are a tenant you are more likely to be undertaking internal alterations than extensions or new building work. Under the terms of your lease you will almost certainly require the landlord's permission – in the form of a 'licence' – for this work.
Where do I start?
Clearly, you will have a rough idea of what you are trying to achieve with the alteration or building work, but there are some other decisions you need to make at the outset. Is appearance more important than function? What level of quality are you aiming for? A high quality product is not always the best solution if a simpler structure might work just as well.
On the cost side there are several points on which you need to be clear. Do you want to be certain on final costs from the outset? This assurance might put the price up. Have you considered the cost of maintaining the structure (and related costs) when it is completed? Extra expenditure at the construction stage could save money later.
Bringing in a chartered surveyor
Engage a chartered surveyor with detailed experience in buildings, especially designing and managing new building works. The surveyor must have good local knowledge and expertise in planning, designing and administering projects. Instructing the contractor and inspecting progress are the most important part of any building work.
You will need to explain to a chartered surveyor what you want in terms of space, finish, equipment, access and similar matters. He or she can then prepare an initial sketch design of your proposals and an outline of the costs. You will also want an indication of how long the work will take. If you need the work completed by a particular date you will need to make this clear in advance.
A chartered surveyor can take your responses on board and draw up a detailed scheme, including likely costs and a programme for the whole project. Detailed construction drawings and the specification of works will then be prepared.
What local authority approvals will I need?
The detailed drawings will be needed for the requisite local authority approvals. There are two principal types of approval: 'planning permission' and 'building regulation approval'. The two different types of approval are separate and have separate procedures. If your building is either listed or in a conservation area you may also require listed building or conservation consent.
You will have to conform to building regulations (and in some cases obtain fire authority approval – e.g. where the building is put to a 'relevant' use), even for internal alterations. Your chartered surveyor will be able to advise you on the necessary applications and discuss any points with the building control body, which might be the local authority or the 'Approved Inspector' building control service.
The tendering process
Once you have planning permission (if necessary) and building regulation approval, go carefully through the drawings and specifications to make sure it is exactly what you want. Changes at a later stage may be disproportionately expensive and could cause delay.
Once you are satisfied, your chartered surveyor will prepare tender documentation, which could take the form of a 'specification' or, for larger projects, a 'bill of quantities'. Usually, tenders would be obtained from at least three contractors. These documents will form part of your contract. Your chartered surveyor can help evaluate the result and select the right contractor.
How will the work be administered and inspected?
Get this clear at the outset. The best course is to name your chartered surveyor as contract administrator on the agreement you sign with the chosen builder. The person named as contract administrator will issue instructions and make sure that the work is properly carried out in accordance with the contract, drawings and specifications. If you have appointed a contract administrator, do not be tempted to intervene and give instructions yourself. This can lead to endless confusion, acrimony and considerable extra cost.
Do not accept the finished work until your contract administrator is fully satisfied. Even after the new structure has been handed over there will be a 'defects liability period' of between three and 12 months. During this period your chartered surveyor will inspect the building and get the contractor to remedy any defects that emerge.

The return to Linux has been halted by the wireless connection being mysteriously dropped, without the ability to re-establish it. Boo... I think we've been through this already. I must write a letter to the MadWiFi mailing list when I'm done exams. In other news, Data Communication's exam has spanked me. This is most frustrating as I've been studying for this for like 2 days now. Darn. This makes me want to take more English courses - something I know I can excel at and enjoy. In better news, iTunes is fantastic (I have been listening to much Opera and Classical these past two days) and has partly inspired me to try the cello thing. If Dr. Vouliouris approves of my purchasing deal, I will be the next owner of one of the cellos sitting in his office. Apartment mates beware. I must be one with CSC217 - Algorithms...

We at 'Men Get Eating Disorders Too' are pleased that NHS South Essex and New Town Films have put a spotlight on male eating disorders in this very strong and hard-hitting yet engaging commercial. Eating disorders are often perceived as being a female only issue, which is far from the case. By raising awareness of this issue, it will help men to recognise their symptoms and go onto get the support they need.
Best wishes,
Sam ThomasProject Leader

Thanks for your help, support and professionalism in making this project a success. The 'Grandad' DVD will be used in schools and colleges in South Essex, Bedfordshire and Luton to raise further awareness and tackle stigma around Dementia. Thank you again for your sensitive and positive approach to mental health awareness.

New Town produced a 2 minute promotional film for my events business which I show on my website. New Town really captured the scale of my production and the essence of my managerial style. Enquires for work have doubled as a result.

Newtown Films came to our project with real enthusiasm and commitment. Their attention to detail and ability to understand quickly what we wanted to achieve helped turn our ideas into reality. They were full of great ideas and working with them on this project was a joy.

New Town Films did an incredible job on producing a 10-minute film to raise awareness on eating disorders. As a direct result of its success 400 copies of the project have been made and have gone out to every school in the South East.

Rather than employing professional actors we agreed to involve staff as the various gangsters and money launderers in action sequences that were shot in their London HQ. Level 3 Communications went on to be an Oscar night success at their global Dallas conference with their unique contribution to the event.
