Murs has definitely been one of the West Coast's most prominent indie hip hop artists over the last several years, best known for his straightforward beats and sitcom-style lyrics. The famously (former) dreadlocked rapper has been all over the planet, touring from places like New York and Canada to Japan and Budapest. And when he's not traveling the world, Murs is in the studio working on his next big project.
His latest album Love and Rockets, Volume 1: The Transformation has just hit the road with his new Hip Hop & Love tour. Lucky for us, IGN was able to catch Murs between shows for an exclusive interview where the young artist caught us up on his new album, his work at Ski Beatz' Camp BluRoc as well as a slew of upcoming projects...
IGN Music: So first off, I want ask about your tour. You've been on the road for a few weeks now. How have the shows been going?
Murs: Everything's been going pretty good, man. We've been giving some pretty decent performances... I hope.
IGN: Are you looking forward to any particular venues coming up?
Murs: Aw, man. That's not fair! I don't want to offend anyone. Me personally, I look forward to all of them. I try not to separate and have a favorite. Saluting Canada's gonna be good. I'm looking forward to Toronto.
IGN: And Love and Rockets, Vol. 1: The Transformation dropped last week. Can you tell me a bit about what it was like recording at Camp BluRoc in New York?
Murs: Aw, man. It was an interesting experience, a lot of creative people surrounding me that are in administrative roles and are still very creative. A lot of good energy. Some of the people in the group play country, some people play folk, some people do electronic house music. Some people are playing, and others are making t-shirts or bringing in loads of vintage clothes for the vintage shop we're starting up. There were just all kinds of creative energies going on. It's pretty fantastic.
IGN: This was also your first collaboration with Ski Beatz. How did you two initially get in contact?
Murs: Dee-1 and Damon Dash wanted me to do a record with BluRoc. They invited me to BluRoc and Ski's house. So it was kind of like an arranged marriage.
IGN: Did you guys have a compatible workflow recording together blind?
Murs: We're still developing. It was a challenge on both of our parts, but I think that made for a really great album. We're touring together, actually playing the songs that we created together. I think we're building a definite connection.
IGN: As far as labels go, you've worked all over the spectrum. What have been some of the major differences between working with larger places like Warner Brothers and something more independent like BluRoc?
Murs: Money. The more money you have to do things, the more people there are to sign off on it. It kind of spoils the creativity. BluRoc is kind of just do what you want, when you want, but there may not always be money to make it happen. Same thing with any indie label. With Warner Brothers you can have great ideas, but it may take two years to make it happen... It can make a big difference.

I spent my Sunday afternoon drooling over this amazing piece of technology:
It's the latest dressmaker machine from Babylock and I never thought I could get this excited over a sewing machine! It comes with 17 different feet! It has an automatic thread cutter! And 5,000 other amazing gadgets, features and magical accessories. Not to mention the the sound (or the lack of)! So do I go for Christmas gifts and a trip to Sweden to spend the holidays with my family, or do I go with the Babylock Symphony?

Part 4 out of 4
we should have felt still more uneasy. The house faced Bald
Mountain, 4000 feet high, a hill that had a very bad reputation some
years ago, and was visited by newspaper reporters. This is, in fact,
the famous Shaking Mountain. For a long time it had a habit of
trembling, as if in an earthquake spasm, but with a shivering motion
very different from that produced by an earthquake. The only good
that came of it was that it frightened all the "moonshiners," and
caused them to join the church. It is not reported what became of
the church afterwards. It is believed now that the trembling was
caused by the cracking of a great ledge on the mountain, which slowly
parted asunder. Bald Mountain is the scene of Mrs. Burnett's
delightful story of "Louisiana," and of the play of "Esmeralda."
A rock is pointed out toward the summit, which the beholder is asked
to see resembles a hut, and which is called "Esmeralda's Cottage."
But this attractive maiden has departed, and we did not discover any
woman in the region who remotely answers to her description.
In the morning we rode a mile and a half through the woods and
followed up a small stream to see the celebrated pools, one of which
the Judge said was two hundred feet deep, and another bottomless.
These pools, not round, but on one side circular excavations, some
twenty feet across, worn in the rock by pebbles, are very good
specimens, and perhaps remarkable specimens, of "pot-holes." They
are, however, regarded here as one of the wonders of the world. On
the way to them we saw beautiful wild trumpet-creepers in blossom,
festooning the trees.
The stream that originates in Hickory Nut Gap is the westernmost
branch of several forks of the Broad, which unite to the southeast in
Rutherford County, flow to Columbia, and reach the Atlantic through
the channel of the Santee. It is not to be confounded with the
French Broad, which originates among the hills of Transylvania, runs
northward past Asheville, and finds its way to the Tennessee through
the Warm Springs Gap in the Bald Mountains. As the French claimed
ownership of all the affluents of the Mississippi, this latter was
called the French Broad.
It was a great relief the next morning, on our return, to rise out of
the lifeless atmosphere of the Gap into the invigorating air at the
Widow Sherrill's, whose country-seat is three hundred feet higher
than Asheville. It was a day of heavy showers, and apparently of
leisure to the scattered population; at every store and mill was a
congregation of loafers, who had hitched their scrawny horses and
mules to the fences, and had the professional air of the idler and
gossip the world over. The vehicles met on the road were a variety
of the prairie schooner, long wagons with a top of hoops over which
is stretched a cotton cloth. The wagons are without seats, and the
canvas is too low to admit of sitting upright, if there were. The
occupants crawl in at either end, sit or lie on the bottom of the
wagon, and jolt along in shiftless uncomfortableness.
Riding down the French Broad was one of the original objects of our
journey. Travelers with the same intention may be warned that the
route on horseback is impracticable. The distance to the Warm
Springs is thirty-seven miles; to Marshall, more than halfway, the
road is clear, as it runs on the opposite side of the river from the
railway, and the valley is something more than river and rails. But
below Marshall the valley contracts, and the rails are laid a good
portion of the way in the old stage road. One can walk the track,
but to ride a horse over its sleepers and culverts and occasional
bridges, and dodge the trains, is neither safe nor agreeable. We
sent our horses round--the messenger taking the risk of leading them,
between trains, over the last six or eight miles,--and took the
The railway, after crossing a mile or two of meadows, hugs the river
all the way. The scenery is the reverse of bold. The hills are low,
monotonous in form, and the stream winds through them, with many a
pretty turn and "reach," with scarcely a ribbon of room to spare on
either side. The river is shallow, rapid, stony, muddy, full of
rocks, with an occasional little island covered with low bushes. The
rock seems to be a clay formation, rotten and colored. As we
approach Warm Springs the scenery becomes a little bolder, and we
emerge into the open space about the Springs through a narrower
defile, guarded by rocks that are really picturesque in color and
splintered decay, one of them being known, of course, as the "Lover's
Leap," a name common in every part of the modern or ancient world
where there is a settlement near a precipice, with always the same
legend attached to it.
There is a little village at Warm Springs, but the hotel--since
burned and rebuilt--(which may be briefly described as a palatial
shanty) stands by itself close to the river, which is here a deep,
rapid, turbid stream. A bridge once connected it with the road on
the opposite bank, but it was carried away three or four years ago,
and its ragged butments stand as a monument of procrastination, while
the stream is crossed by means of a flatboat and a cable. In front
of the hotel, on the slight slope to the river, is a meager grove of
locusts. The famous spring, close to-the stream, is marked only by a
rough box of wood and an iron pipe, and the water, which has a
temperature of about one hundred degrees, runs to a shabby bath-house
below, in which is a pool for bathing. The bath is very agreeable,
the tepid water being singularly soft and pleasant. It has a
slightly sulphurous taste. Its good effects are much certified. The
grounds, which might be very pretty with care, are ill-kept and
slatternly, strewn with debris, as if everything was left to the
easy-going nature of the servants. The main house is of brick, with
verandas and galleries all round, and a colonnade of thirteen huge
brick and stucco columns, in honor of the thirteen States,--a relic
of post-Revolutionary times, when the house was the resort of
Southern fashion and romance. These columns have stood through one
fire, and perhaps the recent one, which swept away the rest of the
structure. The house is extended in a long wooden edifice, with
galleries and outside stairs, the whole front being nearly seven
hundred feet long. In a rear building is a vast, barrack-like
dining-room, with a noble ball-room above, for dancing is the
important occupation of visitors.
The situation is very pretty, and the establishment has a
picturesqueness of its own. Even the ugly little brick structure
near the bath-house imposes upon one as Wade Hampton's cottage. No
doubt we liked the place better than if it had been smart, and
enjoyed the neglige condition, and the easy terms on which life is
taken there. There was a sense of abundance in the sight of fowls
tiptoeing about the verandas, and to meet a chicken in the parlor was
a sort of guarantee that we should meet him later on in the dining-
room. There was nothing incongruous in the presence of pigs,
turkeys, and chickens on the grounds; they went along with the good-
natured negro-service and the general hospitality; and we had a
mental rest in the thought that all the gates would have been off the
hinges, if there had been any gates. The guests were very well
treated indeed, and were put under no sort of restraint by
discipline. The long colonnade made an admirable promenade and
lounging-place and point of observation. It was interesting to watch
the groups under the locusts, to see the management of the ferry, the
mounting and dismounting of the riding-parties, and to study the
colors on the steep hill opposite, halfway up which was a neat
cottage and flower-garden. The type of people was very pleasantly
Southern. Colonels and politicians stand in groups and tell stories,
which are followed by explosions of laughter; retire occasionally
into the saloon, and come forth reminded of more stories, and all
lift their hats elaborately and suspend the narratives when a lady
goes past. A company of soldiers from Richmond had pitched its tents
near the hotel, and in the evening the ball-room was enlivened with
uniforms. Among the graceful dancers--and every one danced well, and
with spirit was pointed out the young widow of a son of Andrew
Johnson, whose pretty cottage overlooks the village. But the
Professor, to whom this information was communicated, doubted whether
here it was not a greater distinction to be the daughter of the owner
of this region than to be connected with a President of the United
A certain air of romance and tradition hangs about the French Broad
and the Warm Springs, which the visitor must possess himself of in
order to appreciate either. This was the great highway of trade and
travel. At certain seasons there was an almost continuous procession
of herds of cattle and sheep passing to the Eastern markets, and of
trains of big wagons wending their way to the inviting lands watered
by the Tennessee. Here came in the summer-time the Southern planters
in coach and four, with a great retinue of household servants, and
kept up for months that unique social life, a mixture of courtly
ceremony and entire freedom, the civilization which had the drawing-
room at one end and the negro-quarters at the other,--which has
passed away. It was a continuation into our own restless era of the
manners and the literature of George the Third, with the accompanying
humor and happy-go-lucky decadence of the negro slaves. On our way
down we saw on the river-bank, under the trees, the old hostelry,
Alexander's, still in decay,--an attractive tavern, that was formerly
one of the notable stopping-places on the river. Master, and fine
lady, and obsequious, larking darky, and lumbering coach, and throng
of pompous and gay life, have all disappeared. There was no room in
this valley for the old institutions and for the iron track.
"When in the chronicle of wasted time
I see descriptions of the fairest wights,
And beauty making beautiful old rhyme
In praise of ladies dead and lovely knights,
We, which now behold these present days,
Have eyes to wonder, but lack tongues to praise."
This perverted use of noble verse was all the response the Friend got
in his attempt to drop into the sentimental vein over the past of the
French Broad.
The reader must not think there is no enterprise in this sedative and
idle resort. The conceited Yankee has to learn that it is not he
alone who can be accused of the thrift of craft. There is at the
Warm Springs a thriving mill for crushing and pulverizing barites,
known vulgarly as heavy-spar. It is the weight of this heaviest of
minerals, and not its lovely crystals, that gives it value. The rock
is crushed, washed, sorted out by hand, to remove the foreign
substances, then ground and subjected to acids, and at the end of the
process it is as white and fine as the best bolted flour. This heavy
adulterant is shipped to the North in large quantities,--the manager
said he had recently an order for a hundred thousand dollars' worth
of it. What is the use of this powder? Well, it is of use to the
dealer who sells white lead for paint, to increase the weight of the
lead, and it is the belief hereabouts that it is mixed with powdered
sugar. The industry is profitable to those engaged in it.
It was impossible to get much information about our route into
Tennessee, except that we should go by Paint Rock, and cross Paint
Mountain. Late one morning,--a late start is inevitable here,--
accompanied by a cavalcade, we crossed the river by the rope ferry,
and trotted down the pretty road, elevated above the stream and tree-
shaded, offering always charming glimpses of swift water and
overhanging foliage (the railway obligingly taking the other side of
the river), to Paint Rock,--six miles. This Paint Rock is a naked
precipice by the roadside, perhaps sixty feet high, which has a large
local reputation. It is said that its face shows painting done by
the Indians, and hieroglyphics which nobody can read. On this bold,
crumbling cliff, innumerable visitors have written their names. We
stared at it a good while to discover the paint and hieroglyphics,
but could see nothing except iron stains. Round the corner is a
farmhouse and place of call for visitors, a neat cottage, with a
display of shells and minerals and flower-pots; and here we turned
north crossed the little stream called Paint River, the only clear
water we had seen in a month, passed into the State of Tennessee, and
by a gentle ascent climbed Paint Mountain. The open forest road,
with the murmur of the stream below, was delightfully exhilarating,
and as we rose the prospect opened,--the lovely valley below, Bald
Mountains behind us, and the Butt Mountains rising as we came over
the ridge.
Nobody on the way, none of the frowzy women or unintelligent men,
knew anything of the route, or could give us any information of the
country beyond. But as we descended in Tennessee the country and the
farms decidedly improved,--apple-trees and a grapevine now and then.
A ride of eight miles brought us to Waddle's, hungry and disposed to
receive hospitality. We passed by an old farm building to a new two-
storied, gayly painted house on a hill. We were deceived by
appearances. The new house, with a new couple in it, had nothing to
offer us except some buttermilk. Why should anybody be obliged to
feed roving strangers? As to our horses, the young woman with a baby
in her arms declared,
"We've got nothing for stock but roughness; perhaps you can get
something at the other house."
"Roughness," we found out at the other house, meant hay in this
region. We procured for the horses a light meal of green oats, and
for our own dinner we drank at the brook and the Professor produced a
few sonnets. On this sustaining repast we fared on nearly twelve
miles farther, through a rolling, good farming country, offering
little for comment, in search of a night's lodging with one of the
brothers Snap. But one brother declined our company on the plea that
his wife was sick, and the other because his wife lived in
Greenville, and we found ourselves as dusk came on without shelter in
a tavernless land. Between the two refusals we enjoyed the most
picturesque bit of scenery of the day, at the crossing of Camp Creek,
a swift little stream, that swirled round under the ledge of bold
rocks before the ford. This we learned was a favorite camp-meeting
ground. Mary was calling the cattle home at the farm of the second
Snap. It was a very peaceful scene of rural life, and we were
inclined to tarry, but Mary, instead of calling us home with the
cattle, advised us to ride on to Alexander's before it got dark.
It is proper to say that at Alexander's we began to see what this
pleasant and fruitful country might be, and will be, with thrift and
intelligent farming. Mr. Alexander is a well-to-do farmer, with
plenty of cattle and good barns (always an evidence of prosperity),
who owes his success to industry and an open mind to new ideas. He
was a Unionist during the war, and is a Democrat now, though his
county (Greene) has been Republican. We had been riding all the
afternoon through good land, and encountering a better class of
farmers. Peach-trees abounded (though this was an off year for
fruit), and apples and grapes throve. It is a land of honey and of
milk. The persimmon flourishes; and, sign of abundance generally, we
believe, great flocks of turkey-buzzards--majestic floaters in the
high air--hovered about. This country was ravaged during the war by
Unionists and Confederates alternately, the impartial patriots as
they passed scooping in corn, bacon, and good horses, leaving the
farmers little to live on. Mr. Alexander's farm cost him forty
dollars an acre, and yields good crops of wheat and maize. This was
the first house on our journey where at breakfast we had grace before
meat, though there had been many tables that needed it more. From
the door the noble range of the Big Bald is in sight and not distant;
and our host said he had a shanty on it, to which he was accustomed
to go with his family for a month or six weeks in the summer and
enjoy a real primitive woods life.
Refreshed by this little touch of civilization, and with horses well
fed, we rode on next morning towards Jonesboro, over a rolling,
rather unpicturesque country, but ennobled by the Big Bald and Butt
ranges, which we had on our right all day. At noon we crossed the
Nollechucky River at a ford where the water was up to the saddle
girth, broad, rapid, muddy, and with a treacherous stony bottom, and
came to the little hamlet of Boylesville, with a flour-mill, and a
hospitable old-fashioned house, where we found shelter from the heat
of the hot day, and where the daughters of the house, especially one
pretty girl in a short skirt and jaunty cap, contradicted the
currently received notion that this world is a weary pilgrimage. The
big parlor, with its photographs and stereoscope, and bits of shell
and mineral, a piano and a melodeon, and a coveted old sideboard of
mahogany, recalled rural New England. Perhaps these refinements are
due to the Washington College (a school for both sexes), which is
near. We noted at the tables in this region a singular use of the
word fruit. When we were asked, Will you have some of the fruit?
and said Yes, we always got applesauce.
Ten miles more in the late afternoon brought us to Jonesboro, the
oldest town in the State, a pretty place, with a flavor of antiquity,
set picturesquely on hills, with the great mountains in sight.
People from further South find this an agreeable summering place, and
a fair hotel, with odd galleries in front and rear, did not want
company. The Warren Institute for negroes has been flourishing here
ever since the war.
A ride of twenty miles next day carried us to Union. Before noon we
forded the Watauga, a stream not so large as the Nollechucky, and
were entertained at the big brick house of Mr. Devault, a prosperous
and hospitable farmer. This is a rich country. We had met in the
morning wagon-loads of watermelons and muskmelons, on the way to
Jonesboro, and Mr. Devault set abundance of these refreshing fruits
before us as we lounged on the porch before dinner.
It was here that we made the acquaintance of a colored woman, a
withered, bent old pensioner of the house, whose industry (she
excelled any modern patent apple-parer) was unabated, although she
was by her own confession (a woman, we believe, never owns her age
till she has passed this point) and the testimony of others a hundred
years old. But age had not impaired the brightness of her eyes, nor
the limberness of her tongue, nor her shrewd good sense. She talked
freely about the want of decency and morality in the young colored
folks of the present day. It was n't so when she was a girl. Long,
long time ago, she and her husband had been sold at sheriff's sale
and separated, and she never had another husband. Not that she
blamed her master so much he could n't help it; he got in debt. And
she expounded her philosophy about the rich, and the danger they are
in. The great trouble is that when a person is rich, he can borrow
money so easy, and he keeps drawin' it out of the bank and pilin' up
the debt, like rails on top of one another, till it needs a ladder to
get on to the pile, and then it all comes down in a heap, and the man
has to begin on the bottom rail again. If she'd to live her life
over again, she'd lay up money; never cared much about it till now.
The thrifty, shrewd old woman still walked about a good deal, and
kept her eye on the neighborhood. Going out that morning she had
seen some fence up the road that needed mending, and she told Mr.
Devault that she didn't like such shiftlessness; she didn't know as
white folks was much better than colored folks. Slavery? Yes,
slavery was pretty bad--she had seen five hundred niggers in
handcuffs, all together in a field, sold to be sent South.
About six miles from here is a beech grove of historical interest,
worth a visit if we could have spared the time. In it is the large
beech (six and a half feet around six feet from the ground) on which
Daniel Boone shot a bear, when he was a rover in this region. He
himself cut an inscription on the tree recording his prowess, and it
is still distinctly legible:
This tree is a place of pilgrimage, and names of people from all
parts of the country are cut on it, until there is scarcely room for
any more records of such devotion. The grove is ancient looking, the
trees are gnarled and moss-grown. Hundreds of people go there, and
the trees are carved all over with their immortal names.
A pleasant ride over a rich rolling country, with an occasional strip
of forest, brought us to Union in the evening, with no other
adventure than the meeting of a steam threshing-machine in the road,
with steam up, clattering along. The devil himself could not invent
any machine calculated to act on the nerves of a horse like this.
Jack took one look and then dashed into the woods, scraping off his
rider's hat but did not succeed in getting rid of his burden or
knocking down any trees.
Union, on the railway, is the forlornest of little villages, with
some three hundred inhabitants and a forlorn hotel, kept by an ex-
stage-driver. The village, which lies on the Holston, has no
drinking-water in it nor enterprise enough to bring it in; not a well
nor a spring in its limits; and for drinking-water everybody crosses
the river to a spring on the other side. A considerable part of the
labor of the town is fetching water over the bridge. On a hill
overlooking the village is a big, pretentious brick house, with a
tower, the furniture of which is an object of wonder to those who
have seen it. It belonged to the late Mrs. Stover, daughter of
Andrew Johnson. The whole family of the ex-President have departed
this world, but his memory is still green in this region, where he
was almost worshiped--so the people say in speaking of him.
Forlorn as was the hotel at Union, the landlord's daughters were
beginning to draw the lines in rural refinement. One of them had
been at school in Abingdon. Another, a mature young lady of fifteen,
who waited on the table, in the leisure after supper asked the Friend
for a light for her cigarette, which she had deftly rolled.
"Why do you smoke?"
"So as I shan't get into the habit of dipping. Do you think dipping
is nice?"
The traveler was compelled to say that he did not, though he had seen
a good deal of it wherever he had been.
"All the girls dips round here. But me and my sisters rather smoke
than get in a habit of dipping."
To the observation that Union seemed to be a dull place :
"Well, there's gay times here in the winter--dancing. Like to dance?
Well, I should say! Last winter I went over to Blountsville to a
dance in the court-house; there was a trial between Union and
Blountsville for the best dancing. You bet I brought back the cake
and the blue ribbon."
The country was becoming too sophisticated, and the travelers
hastened to the end of their journey. The next morning Bristol, at
first over a hilly country with magnificent oak-trees,--happily not
girdled, as these stately monarchs were often seen along the roads in
North Carolina,--and then up Beaver Creek, a turbid stream, turning
some mills. When a closed woolen factory was pointed out to the
Professor (who was still traveling for Reform), as the result of the
agitation in Congress, he said, Yes, the effect of agitation was
evident in all the decayed dams and ancient abandoned mills we had
seen in the past month.
Bristol is mainly one long street, with some good stores, but
generally shabby, and on this hot morning sleepy. One side of the
street is in Tennessee, the other in Virginia. How handy for
fighting this would have been in the war, if Tennessee had gone out
and Virginia stayed in. At the hotel--may a kind Providence wake it
up to its responsibilities--we had the pleasure of reading one of
those facetious handbills which the great railway companies of the
West scatter about, the serious humor of which is so pleasing to our
English friends. This one was issued by the accredited agents of the
Ohio and Mississippi Railway, and dated April 1, 1984. One sentence
will suffice:
"Allow us to thank our old traveling friends for the many favors in
our line, and if you are going on your bridal trip, or to see your
girl out West, drop in at the general office of the Ohio and
Mississippi Railway and we will fix you up in Queen Anne style.
Passengers for Dakota, Montana, or the Northwest will have an
overcoat and sealskin cap thrown in with all tickets sold on or after
the above date."
The great republic cannot yet take itself seriously. Let us hope the
humors of it will last another generation. Meditating on this, we
hailed at sundown the spires of Abingdon, and regretted the end of a
journey that seems to have been undertaken for no purpose.

CHARLESTON – Five days before the West Virginia state bar examination, U. S. District Judge David Faber denied an injunction that would have given prospective lawyer Shannon Kelly twice as much time as other test takers.
Faber ruled July 24 that the West Virginia Board of Law Examiners would suffer harm if he granted the injunction.
"If plaintiff is given the relief requested when the Board has determined such an accommodation is unnecessary, any harm to other applicants and the examination process itself cannot be undone," Faber wrote.
Evidence did not establish that a request for double time was reasonable, he wrote.
The examiners had granted Kelly time and a half in a separate room with questions in 18 point type, on account of a learning disability.
They granted the same accommodations last summer and he failed the exam.
Kelly sued them on July 21, asserting a right to due process under the U. S. Constitution and a right to double time under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Faber set an emergency hearing so he could reach a decision before the exam started.
John Hedges of Byrne Hedges and Lyons in Morgantown jumped to the defense of the Board of Law Examiners.
He argued that Kelly recently passed a similar test with no accommodation except 18 point type.
"If he does not pass, once this court weighs the evidence and reviews the law fully, the petitioner can sit for the February 2009 examination under the accommodations determined by the final ruling," Hedges wrote.
"This case is only two or three days old, and much more factual and legal development is needed," he wrote.
Kelly's lawyers, Edward McDevitt and Kristin Shaffer of Bowles Rice McDavid Graff and Love in Charleston, responded that, "This statement is both misleading and untrue."
They argued that the board had five days notice of the complaint and more than seven months since Kelly requested additional time.
Faber didn't need much time to reach a decision.
"The court does not believe that plaintiff has shown a sufficient likelihood he will suffer irreparable harm if the injunction is denied," he wrote.
"Furthermore, while it would certainly be undesirable to have to retake the exam in February 2009 should plaintiff fail the July 2008 exam, the fact that he can take it again cuts against the notion that any harm he will suffer is irreparable," he wrote.
"Likewise," he added in a footnote, "the court cannot conclude that plaintiff is likely to succeed on the merits of his due process claims because it is uncertain that he possesses the due process rights he claims were violated."
CHARLESTON – Five days before the West Virginia state bar examination, U. S. District Judge David Faber denied an injunction that would have given prospective lawyer Shannon Kelly twice as much time as other test takers.

Unionville Valleylands Trail is a 4.0 kilometer lightly trafficked out and back trail located near Markham, Ontario, Canada that features a river. The trail is good for all skill levels offers a number of activity options. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
dogs on leash
wheelchair friendly
kid friendly
cross country skiing
mountain biking
road biking
trail running
Based on the rating this trail got I didn't have high expectations for this trail. I was pleasantly surprised! It is short, easy level trail so it isn't challenging but the scenery is quite nice great for photographers. Seen a beaver, gold finch and heron and something else that was swimming just below the water, may have been a snapping turtle?
Mostly asphalt trail. Lots of bridges and a few boardwalks. Many viewing spots around the pond, even a restaurant with burgers and ice cream. Lots of ducks, and loons, even a great blue heron.
Toogood pond is completely CLOSED right now for some major construction. Went today and was disappointed to see it closed, unsure if it will reopen this summer as a lot of work appears to be happening.
Very nice day of walking the trails... definitely going again...
A little busy in spot, but still can't complain. And a very nice surprise of the Unionville Village on the other side... very nice.
I wouldnt call it much of a hiking trail however there are some decent boardwalks to cross and Toogood pond is a nice loop to go around for a short run. Also walking through the trail and than down mainstreet Unionville is a good outing
In fact, this trail now is connected from Bruce Creek (Unionville) to Milne Dam Conservation Park (10 km for a loop walk) by the City. This trail is unshaded, flat. Good for beginner.
Nice escape into a forest trail within the city - it's a paved trail with plenty of turns and bridge crossings over rivers. There are a few forks that take you into neighbourhoods so stay on track.

Considering that the surfing industry is built entirely on them, it's bafflingly hard to find a pair that aren't heinous.
That's where the savvy gents of Former come in. Considering that Dane Reynolds is the maker and test pilot of these trunks, then one thing that you can be assured of is that they aren't going to hold you up in the surf. They're inoffensive in length (18 inches), add a little flair (but not too much) to the black motif, and they're not Stretch Armstrong flexible; just enough to let a man move.
Dane Reynolds, unsurprisingly, is rather particular about his surf shorts, and hey, if they're good enough for DR, chances are they'll get you from a to b. "Too tight and you can't move," Mr Reynolds explains, "ultra stretch feels like you're wearing bike shorts (yuk)…Baggy fit, subtle stretch, mid length…I feel like we made a pretty damn good pair of trunks." Can't say fairer than that.

Iffat Zehra has a unique perspective on the South Asian market demand, as she originally hails from Pakistan and has spent much of her time in Canada working to establish programs for New Canadians at the community level.
Iffat is currently working as Executive Director of the Community Economic Development for Immigrant Women (CEDIW) and is partnering with FarmStart to develop agricultural and food security programs for the South Asian community in Brampton. From this vantage point, Iffat presented on the characteristics of South Asian market demand, and what farmers should consider when growing for these markets.
Iffat began by noting the large diversity in the South Asian community. Bengalis, Punjabis, and people from different regions all eat different things and cook different specialties: knowing these demographic differences is important for developing effective marketing strategies. There is also a strong religious diversity among the South Asian population, which includes Muslim, Hindu, Jain, and Sikh beliefs. This makes for diverse growing and marketing options, as each religious group also has their own priorities and different eating habits, whether it is halal or vegetarian.
Generational and age differences will also effect marketing strategies. Iffat notes that South Asian youth are looking for food that is close to mainstream, but that fits with cultural needs and norms due to pressure from parents. The teenagers want to eat pizza–but halal pizza, vegetarian pizza, or daal pizza! On the other hand, South Asian seniors are looking for bitter gourd and medicinal herbs similar to what is grown in their home countries.
Iffat also points out that women are the most important target demographic when marketing South Asian food. Traditionally, the women are the cooks in the family, and this demographic is interested in accessing South Asian vegetables, flowers, and most importantly, spices. On the other hand, the male customers, particularly the male Muslim population, are big purveyors of halal meat products.
Iffat also pointed out some unique characteristics of the South Asian marketplace. She notes that in Brampton, Mississauga, and on Gerrard Street, you will see an entire market-place: ten specialized grocery stores all along one strip, all catering to Punjabis, Gujurati, and Bengalis. Religious centres also often become marketplaces: mosques and mundir (Hindu temple) parking lots become farmers markets on prayer days.
Iffat ended her presentation with two notes of caution to farmers. One is that farmers need to be sure to get the common names of the produce right to cater to a wide market. An item may have ten different common names for Punjabi, Urdu, Hindi, Gujarati because the languages are all different. Iffat also indicated that finding and identifying the correct seeds to grow is important but can be difficult to find in the Canadian seed market.

|Before the baptism Cora is dressed all in white. We borrowed a white mumu for the special occassion.
|With daddy outside of the Kahuku chapel.
|With the whole family. There were many baptisms on this beautiful Saturday morning--nine seperate services and at least one of those services had two people getting baptized. Things were running a little behind so we patiently waited our turn.
Earlier in the week Cora picked out her first leather bound set of scriptures. We had it engraved with her name on it. After her baptism she came home and opened a special package from Grandma Heather and Papa Bob. It included a special snugly blanket and a book about the Holy Ghost. Then Dave and I took her to the BYU bookstore to choose a CTR ring from Grandma Peg and Papa Lou. CTR means Choose The Right. The ring is on order and should be here in a few weeks. Lots of wonderful reminders for her of this very special day that she chose to follow the example of Jesus Christ to be baptized, to be born again and become a member of His Holy Church.

Family Hotel Review: Anda Lanta Resort, Ko Lanta, Thailand
This family-friendly hotel sits on a quiet stretch of beach overlooking the beautiful Andaman Sea.
Best For: Taking it easy; infants & little kids.
Reviewed by: Islay Lord
Why You'll Love It
Family-friendly Anda Lanta is a quiet resort best suited to families with young children. Positioned on a quiet beach at the end of Ko Lanta Island, it's the perfect place to relax and unwind while your kids splash about in the pool or hunt for shells on the beach.
We visited with little kids and grandparents and its tranquil location was one of the things we liked best – no noise at night and very peaceful during the day. Families looking for action and adventure, however, might find things a little staid.
The accommodation is set among lush plants and trees so you never feel that you're staying in a built up resort but rather a small, friendly hotel. There's a lovely relaxed atmosphere, great swimming pool and a handful of activities including kayaking, snorkelling and some fantastic dive sites. All you need to do is peel yourself of the sun lounger!
Why The Kids Will Love It
For little kids this is a great option. There's a good swimming pool with two adjoining shallow pools, perfect for young globetotters, and the sheltered beach makes paddling in the shallows fun for all.
Family-friendly Anda Lanta have kayaks free for guests to use that should suit older and more active kids and the staff can also help organise excursions, including snorkelling and dive trips to explore the colourful coral reefs. One of the highlights, however, are the swimming elephants! Walk to the en dof the beach and take a swim with these gentle creatures or simply watch them frolic in the sea instead.
Accommodation at Anda Lanta is flexible for families and the restaurant caters to even the fussiest of eaters with a simple dedicated kids' menu. All in all this is a simple, friendly and very easy choice for a family beach holiday.
Hotel Details
Anda Lanta offers 50 rooms separated into contemporary rooms and more traditional Thai style bungalows built mostly of wood. All rooms come with a TV and DVD player, fridge, complimentary WiFi, AC and ensuite bathrooms.
The accommodation is divided into the following categories:
Superior Room: Set back from the beach are these base category rooms that come with a private balcony. Maximum two people per room.
Deluxe Room: Located behind the Garden Cottages, these spacious rooms are set within a private garden. Furnished with either a king size bed or twin beds and there's small living space as well. Inter-connecting rooms are available.
Garden Cottage: These traditional villas (32 sqm) are located behind the Beach Front Villas.
Superior & Deluxe Sea View: Both these categories of rooms come with unobstructed views of the sea.
Family Cottage: There is only one of these two-bedroom family cottages so book quickly!
Beach Front Villa: Located on the beach, these 50 square metre villas are furnished with a king size bed and enjoy a private terrace overlooking the Andaman Sea.
Best for Families: All rooms work well for families particularly the Deluxe category that has a handful of inter-connecting rooms (we took one and put our kids in the other).
The Family Cottage is another good option but there is only one of these so you will have to book early. One extra bed can be accommodated per room category in addition to a baby cot. Depending on the age of the children, another cot or rollaway bed may be accommodated.
The Pink Pearl restaurant is the hotel's one and only restaurant open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The food is good but was not the best we had in Thailand when we visited.
The breakfast buffet includes omelettes, eggs cooked to order, sausages, pancakes, fresh fruit, cereals and more. Some Thai options are also available.
Lunch and dinner are served a la carte and we stuck to the Thai stir-fries, curries and nibbles that were good. In the evening tables are set up on the beach and fairy lights hung between palm trees.
For Kids: A children's menu is available with pasta, fish and chips and other kid-friendly staples. It's not the most inventive of menus but it kept our kids happy and the service was snappy. There are a couple of restaurants nearby that serve decent Thai food. For more choice you would have to go to the next beach along.
Activities for Parents: Swimming pool, beach, snorkelling tours, scuba diving to some of the Andaman Sea's most famous dive sites, massages, hire a scooter to explore the countryside, elephant rides, kayak out to sea and boat trips to neighbouring islands.
Activities for Kids: Swimming pool, beach, swimming with elephants, kayaking, beach combing, hermit crab races, snorkelling, scuba diving, elephant rides and boat rides.
AC, babysitting, common rooms, cots, doctors & hospitals, extra beds, inter-connecting rooms, kids' dining facilities, laundry service, private sit out, pushchair friendly, shops, swimming pool, travel desk & excursions, wheelchair access, WiFi.

Travel Information
When to go:
Ko Lanta is at its best from October through to August with the busiest months being December to March. Daytime temperatures remain a steady 32 – 34C throughout the year with temperatures dropping to 20-25C at night. The rainy season usually falls in September and October.
Location & Travel:
Anda Lanta Resort is located at the southern end of Ko Lanta, Krabi, Thailand. The nearest airport is at Krabi.

Plastic not a necessity in the garden
Rodale.com editor says eliminating it will keep harmful chemicals out of your food.
Given the negative rap plastic has increasingly received over the years and our effort to aid in reduction of its usage, the home garden shouldn't be ignored as a place to purge plastic.
"It seems like everyone wants to go plastic-free'" said Leah Zerbe, 30, online editor at Rodale.com, a division of Rodale Inc., Maxatawny Township. "The garden is a good place to start."
Zerbe said the major concern is the leaching of some chemicals from the plastic, which in turn end up in the food we grow and have an impact on our health. From the garden hose to seed starter trays to tomato cages, plastics are lurking everywhere in the garden.
"When you are talking about gardening, you are growing food and there are these chemicals you don't want in your food source," said Zerbe. "A lot of things you use are plastic."
The main concern lies in the plastics being exposed to high heat, in turn harming more than just the environment.
"Different types of plastics have all sorts of chemical components and additives," Zerbe said. "(Their release) is greatly accelerated when there is heat. Studies have shown how some of these chemicals affect your hormonal systems and even promote diabetes and obesity."
According to Zerbe, it all starts with the plastic trays, containers and pots used for starting seeds indoors. Instead, she suggests using the compostable peat moss variety or clay pots.
"Compostable pots are not always effective, due to cost, to do on the farm scale, but for a home garden they are great and they really are not that expensive if you have a backyard garden," Zerbe said.
Aside from her work at Rodale, Zerbe and her husband, Greg Hoak, operate Potter's Farm in Washington Township, Schuylkill County, where they offer community supported agriculture – basically subscription are offered for produce.
"We use plastic, but we really try to cut down," she said.
When it comes to seed starting, they use soil block makers, another alternative to plastic pots she highly recommends.
"They are these old-fashioned devices – these metal blocks you can make various sizes and you plant in this tightly formed seed pack," said Zerbe. "It's really good for the plant because the roots don't become compacted."

IBBME researchers are advancing disease detection, customizing drug delivery and improving health-care outcomes with faster and more precise technologies and systems.
Shape-shifting nanoparticles for delivering cancer drugs to tumours
Chemotherapy isn't supposed to make your hair fall out — it's supposed to kill cancer cells.
Professor Warren Chan's Integrated Nanotechnology & Biomedical Sciences Laboratory builds targeted drug delivery systems designed to enter specific areas of your body. He and his team have created a set of nanoparticles attached to strands of DNA that function like a protein, but can be programmed to change shape and chemistry, allowing them to navigate through the traps in the body and gain access into diseased tissue.
Their discovery will lead to further advances in personalized nanomedicine — enabling tailored particles to deliver drugs into targeted types of tumours, and nowhere else.
"Your body is basically a series of compartments. Think of it as a giant house with rooms inside. We're trying to figure out how to get something that's outside, into one specific room. One has to develop a map and a system that can move through the house where each path to the final room may have different restrictions such as height and width." —Professor Warren Chan
Smarter scans for earlier cancer detection
Professor Hai-Ling Margaret Cheng was working as an electrical engineer in the aerospace and defense industry when she realized the signal-processing techniques she was using could also enhance magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans.
Today, her team is dedicated to improving MRI technology. Specifically, the Cheng Lab looks at ways to modify and enhance chemicals that give off a strong magnetic resonance signal, known as contrast agents, to accentuate visual accuracy of specific tissues and organs. Her lab is also developing novel, rapid imaging approaches to give us information about tissue physiology and functional dynamics.
Her developments in this area have proven promising in earlier cancer detection and stem cell observations for human tissue repair.
Shrinking the lab—mini diagnostic tools for rapid, on-site results
Professor Aaron Wheeler is taking the lab to you.
His team builds miniature labs using digital microfluidics — a liquid-handling technology that can analyze tiny drops of chemical and biological fluids on site. Using electrostatic forces, their lab-on-a-chip device can manipulate these samples and probe them with built-in sensors for rapid analysis, all on something the size of a credit card.
The technology aims to allow advanced diagnostic tests to be performed at a patient's bedside or in remote places around the world to give accurate results in less time.

This September cinema buffs will be able to enjoy several documentaries, two of them in homage of renowned figures of Cuban culture and others on traditions and foreign inheritances in Cuba.
Famous artist and producer Isabel Santos will screen her latest documentary Viaje al país que ya no existe, in homage to outstanding photography director Ivan Napoles, who used to be the eyes of Santiago Alvarez. The piece was produced by the Cuban Film Institute (ICAIC by its acronym in Spanish) and the Ministry of Information and Communications from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. It lasts 42 minutes and was shot in that Asian nation where they travelled to along with Napoles 40 years after he had recorded the war and the reconstruction of this country. It is a chronicle about the return of his most intimate images. This reunion made him laugh and cry. Over the shackles of the past, there is a new nation, which is quite different in his memories. That's the reason for the title, its producer told OnCuba, "because it is amazing and shocking that transformation this country has gone through (…) I was surprised with Vietnam today. It was an intense and passionate shooting where I found a really different nation than the one in the images broadcasted when I was little", pointed out the main female character in the film Clandestinos.
Feijoó, locura de creación is the title of the latest documentary by producer Miguel Torres. It pays homage to multipurpose self-taught Cuban artist Samuel Feijoo. He is one of the most important figures in terms of research on farmers' issues and he was an outstanding editor for the magazine Islas y Signos. In about 30 minutes the documentary deals with the life and work of this extraordinary writer, painter and collector of myths and legends from the central Cuban provinces. Miguel Torres directed ICAIC's Latin American News, and made several broadcasts between 1972 and 1977. He led ICAIC's Department of International Relations and produced about 20 documentaries that have been presented multiple awards.
Producer Gloria Rolando dealt with the topic of Cuban inheritances and traditions enriched by African immigrants. This successful producer of documentaries is one of the most active filmmakers in the field of documentaries, and has focused her work on the traditions of black Cuban communities. Her powerful speech is in accordance with the dignity of the characters she portraits in her pieces. This month she brings two documentaries Reembarque and Pasajes del corazón y la memoria. The first one lasts 58 minutes and includes the several prestigious historians whose researches add up to the memories of Haitians and their descendants in Cuba. The oldest still recall their families were victims of re-embarking. Therefore, she decided to pay this well-deserved homage to anonymous heroes that intertwined an important passage between two Caribbean peoples: Cuba and Haiti.
As a black woman and as an artist she has found inspiration in the apprehension of the Afro-American environment, the knowledge on its particular characteristics, and its agreements and disagreements. Her second documentary to be premiered soon lasts 36 minutes and is about migration processes among Caribbean islands and its cultural repercussion. It starts as a legend: "The oldest and those who cannot forget say that back in the 20's and 30's little ships used to come and go between the Isle of Youth and the Cayman Islands…" That was the beginning of a human bridge that gave birth to Cuban-Caymans families. The offspring of Caymans thus arrived in the Isle of Youth with new hopes in life. However, those excellent fishermen brought in the culture of coconuts. They brought along Caribbean rhythms and melodies which as exceptional patrimony are parte of the repertory by the Sonny Boy Band.

Yesterday when I logged into Facebook, I found that a lot of my friends living in Korea were sharing the same video. Not since the three days when people cared about Joseph Kony has this happened. The video is a short piece that aired (recently, I'm assuming) on Korea's channel MBC. It is entitled "The Shocking Reality About Relationships with Foreigners" and basically details the horrors a Korean girl can expect by entering into a romantic relationship with a white dude. I'm not going to say much else, as I'm sure whatever criticisms I can make, you can make for yourself. I will say that, as a foreigner living in Korea and dating a Korean woman, it was hard for me to find it funny, although I'm sure that in reality the proper reaction is to laugh at it.
So, that's all for today. Enjoy, and for heaven's sake, stay away from foreigners!!!

The carbon cycle response to ENSO: a coupled climate–carbon cycle model study
Jones, Chris D.
Collins, Matthew
Cox, Peter M.
Spall, Steven A.
University of Exeter
Date issued
Journal of Climate
American Meteorological Society
There is significant interannual variability in the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) even when the effect of anthropogenic sources has been accounted for. This variability is well correlated with the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycle. This behavior of the natural carbon cycle provides a valuable mechanism for validating carbon cycle models. The model in turn is a valuable tool for examining the processes involved in the relationship between ENSO and the carbon cycle. A GCM coupled climate–carbon cycle model is used to study the mechanisms involved. The model simulates the observed temperature, precipitation, and CO2 response of the climate to the ENSO cycle. Climatic changes over land during El Niño events lead to decreased gross primary productivity and increased plant and soil respiration, and hence the terrestrial biosphere becomes a source of CO2 to the atmosphere. Conversely, during El Niño events, the ocean becomes a sink of CO2 because of reduction of equatorial Pacific outgassing as a result of decreased upwelling of carbon-rich deep water. During La Niña events the opposite occurs; the land becomes a sink and the ocean a source of CO2. The magnitude of the model's response is such that the terrestrial biosphere releases about 1.8 GtC yr−1 for an El Niño with a Niño-3 index of magnitude 1 °C, and the oceans take up about 0.5 GtC yr−1. (1 GtC = 1015 g of carbon). The net global response is thus an increase in atmospheric CO2 of about 0.6 ppmv yr−1. This is in close agreement with the sensitivity of the observed CO2 record to ENSO events.

Marvel Asks Fans to "Vote Loki" in New Presidential Election-Based Series
It's Super Tuesday, and as presidential primaries in multiple states unfold, a new candidate has entered the race — at least in the Marvel Universe. Marvel has announced a new "Vote Loki" series, slated to start in June and paying off previous "Vote Loki" teasers released late last month. No creative team information has been revealed, nor the scheduled number of issues for the series.
Here's the description released thus far: "All-new series places a different candidate on the ballot this presidential election season." There's also a tagline of "Believe" — with the "lie" in the word written in red to reinforce Loki's trickster god status.
Marvel released two "Vote Loki" covers to accompany the announcement, a main cover by Tradd Moore and a variant by Valerio Schiti and Israel Silva, which features both Angela (seemingly acting as a bodyguard, if the sunglasses are any indication) and Captain America (Sam Wilson), visibly (and unsurprisingly) displeased with Loki's stump speech.
American comic books have a long history of publishing fictional stories inspired by real-life presidential election years. In 2000, Lex Luthor ran — successfully — for president in the America of DC Comics' DC Universe; in 2012 Captain America became president in Marvel's Ultimate Universe. America's current president, Barack Obama, has a long history in comics, including an appearance in "Amazing Spider-Man" and an endorsement from "Savage Dragon."
Marvel is currently running a Twitter poll to see if the company's followers would vote for Loki — and so far, it looks like the answer is mostly yes:
Would you vote for Loki? #Loki2016
— Marvel Entertainment (@Marvel) March 1, 2016
Buoyed by the popularity of Tom Hiddleston's performance in Marvel Studios' film franchise, Loki has starred in several comic book series in recent years, most recently "Loki: Agent of Asgard." That series, written by Al Ewing and primarily illustrated by Lee Garbett, wrapped last summer with issue #17.

Nine-term Rep. Lincoln Diaz-Balart (R-FL) will retire at the end of this term.
Diaz-Balart is the brother of Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL), who represents a neighboring Congressional district. Lincoln indicated last summer he was "seriously considering" an offer from Florida Gov. Charlie Crist (R) to be temporarily appointed to the Senate when former Sen. Mel Martinez (R-FL) resigned. Instead, Crist appointed Sen. Sen. George LeMieux (R-FL) to fill out the balance of Martinez's term.
Democrats have long viewed both seats held by the Diaz-Balart brothers as potential pickups. Lincoln faced his toughest re-election in 2008. But he ultimately defeated former Hialeah Florida Mayor Raul Martinez with 58 percent of the vote. The vote was nearly split between President Obama and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) in the 2008 presidential contest.
There is speculation that Mario could seek election in his brother's seat, which is considered to be a safer Republican district.
Lincoln Diaz-Balart was born in Havana, Cuba and was one of the first-Cuban Americans to win a seat in Congress. He's a former Democrat who later joined the Republican party in the mid-1980s. He previously served in the Florida House and Senate.
Diaz-Balart has long been involved in Cuban-American affairs. He advocated the assassination of former Cuban leader Fidel Castro. He also tried to help the Florida relatives of Elian Gonzalez secure his custody from his Cuban father.
Diaz-Balart becomes the 18th House Republican and the second in as many days to announce they won't stand for re-election later this year. Only 12 House Democrats have declared their retirements.

The Other Side of Silence (2016)
Philip Kerr (1956)
400 pages
The cold war may have ended decades ago, but the complex machinations of government security services during that period --- between enemies and even supposed allies --- have remained irresistible source material for storytellers. This includes writers of noir, and with The Other Side of Silence Philip Kerr brings his series featuring detective Bernie Gunther out of Germany and central Europe of the 1930's and 1940's, and squarely into the middle of cold war conspiracies.
Set in 1956, the story opens with Gunther working under an assumed name as a concierge at a fancy hotel on the French Riviera. His history of having been repeatedly coerced into working as a detective for high-ranking officers in the Nazi regime now has him hiding from potential threats on all sides: Western officials who see him as a former Nazi, and some of his former Nazi blackmailers --- now high ranking officials in the East German government --- who still keep an eye out for how he could be useful to them. His wife having left him and returned to Germany, Gunther's mostly laying low and biding time, with no clear view of a future. With little to distract him from morosely considering his uncertain lot in life, he has sunk into a melancholy that has drifted dangerously close to depression.
The sudden appearance at the hotel reception of a former nemesis from Nazi Germany shakes Gunther out of his self-absorbed reverie. He barely has time to wonder if he's been recognized before finding himself caught up in an escalating scheme of blackmail, one that threatens not only delicately maintained cold war relationships between various governments, but also, not surprisingly, his personal safety. When the trap is finally sprung, Gunther must bring to bear all of his decades of experience as a detective to try and escape the pernicious schemes of enemies old and new.
The Other Side of Silence is the eleventh of Kerr's novels to feature detective Bernie Gunther, a series that began with the books of the trilogy Berlin Noir (my review of those first three novels here). The shift in the setting for this story compared to its predecessors from WWII (and the immediate pre- and post-war years) to a point well into the Cold War changes the atmosphere significantly. Though the tension ratchets up dramatically in the concluding few dozen pages of the story, for the most part the Cold War setting lacks the punch of the earlier novels set in Nazi Germany. Absent the deadly serious implications of the unremitting high-wire act that accompanied Gunther's compulsory dealings with the Nazi regime, the plot becomes more of an intellectual game of cat and mouse, as spies for foreign powers collide on French soil in pursuit of national advantage.
That quibble aside, there remains much to enjoy in Kerr's new novel. A portion of the novel includes extended recollections by Gunther of events during the war years, which help establish the backstory of his relationship with a key protagonist; these sections do crackle with the sharp tension induced by the constant risk of sudden death --- from both enemy forces as well as powerful elements of the Nazi regime pursuing their own agendas. And, as in his earlier stories in this series, Kerr brings a thoroughly researched historical reality to the The Other Side of Silence; by incorporating Gunther as a key bit player in among famous historical persons and events, he creates an engaging combination of satisfying noir and fascinating historical fiction.

Pingback: Roubo Woodworking Bench – complete! | This Week in Wood
Hi Marilyn,
Just wanted to say Hi. I have been lurking here (in a good way) the last couple of day's, I really enjoy your work and blog.
Vickie Woodcock from Selkie Wood Works. I love your projects! They are beautiful and really well done. Would it be ok if I include your blog on my blogsite? It's http://www.selkiewoodworks.blogspot.com.
Thanks and keep on making that sawdust!
I have read your articles with great interest. Much like many others you have provided a lot of inspiration. Thankyou for that.
I recently read your post regarding our mitre box, and was especially interested in how you restored the saw included. Could you possible give any pointers regarding the removal of the former rivets? I recently obtained four very old saws featuring similar rivets, which I would remove before reworking handles and blades but am not sure whether to drill them out, or to use a different method.
Kind regards
I was just browsing through your site and there were some non-working references that I ran into. For instance if you go to https://sheworkswood.com/instructional-resources/dovetailing/ and try to click on Chopping a mortise , you'll notice the link doesn't send you to where it should (or am I the only one experiencing this)? There are a few more cases like this and I'd be happy to point them out if you'd like me to. I'm just letting you know because I realize how difficult it can be to find these little issues when you are busy running a website, so thought I'd help out a little bit.
Thanks for your great content,
Great Website. I am down here in Tacoma and just starting my hand tool woodworking adventure and your blog is a great inspiration to me I am taking weekend classes at the Port Townsend woodworking school and learning everything I can online and DVDs. Its a bit challenging at times but hopefully I can make it to your level. I hope I get to bump into you at a Seattle woodworking event some day.

If sub-subpar chicken biryani is what you're looking for, look no further. At this culinarily South Asian sauna (the air conditioning wasn't working, making a three minute wait seem like an hour long ordeal), the biryani was touted as 'saffron-infused rice with chicken'. My finely honed brown senses, although, told a different story: it tasted like nothing more than steamed rice with some sort of basic curry mixed in and left to sit for a good while.
If you happen to chance upon this place, though, worry not: the butter chicken I'd tasted once was 100% legit. Let's see what a future visit has to say.

Great food and great service here. I always find that when I order India food the portions look small but once I start eating I'm extremely satisfied/full by the end. The staff was really great here. One of the guys even put fresh cherries in out drink that he just got from the market, he said he thought we'd prefer fresh Cherries to the maraschino one, and he was right, so much better. The food was good, not the most amazing but still good. Great naan and lassies. All in all, delicious food, friendly staff and a spacious place. What more can you ask for?

Urgent care clinic delayed, staff, procedures plans in place
The Stephens Memorial Hospital board may have delayed plans to open an urgent care/after hours clinic in 2017, but plans for the clinic became more concrete during last Thursday's board meeting.
The urgent care/after hours clinic was originally planned to open sometime this month, but officials overseeing the project suggested the board push those plans back in order to have a strong foundation for when the clinic opens in 2018.
"What we're thinking is starting small," Stephens Memorial CEO Matt Kempton said. "If it attracts attention and does well, then we could possibly expand it. We're thinking of starting on weekends."
During the meeting, hospital officials provided additional details regarding the clinic. They suggested opening the clinic Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. It would be located at the hospital's main entrance with a dedicated clerk to check in patients. The clerk would then lead the patient to the radiology waiting room, then to an ultrasound room, where an on-staff nurse will triage patients. Once a physician completes an examination, the clerk would then return to collect any co-payment from the patient. Kempton estimates the cost per visit at $100.
"We originally thought we could run this in the E.R.," Kempton said. "… For many reasons we felt it was not appropriate to run it in the E.R. We want to separate it out and run it in the hospital, but not in the E.R."
Although not taking place in the emergency room, plans for the facility could require the E.R. nursing staff to examine patients. If the E.R. nursing staff become overwhelmed by patients, the medical/surgery staff would step in and begin triaging patients. The physicians required to run the facility would come from those contracted through Concord E.R. Physicians, with whom SMH would have a 60/40 profit split. If there are more than three patients waiting for treatment, then the hospital could request service from another provider, BMC, who would have a similar agreement in place.
"What happens if we're really busy in the E.R.?" Kempton said. "Let's say they have five patients in the E.R. They are staffed for five patients and have five treatment rooms. Obviously, the priority is E.R. instead of urgent care. At that point, that would trigger med-surg staff to come in a triage the patient."
Should a patient seek attention at the clinic, and it becomes an emergency, the hospital would credit $100 paid upfront by the patient to the patient's medical bill.
"This is just an initial discussion for now," SMH Quality Management Director Sarah Nadanamoorthi said. "There are a lot of things we need to consider and need to hash out. If we did see a positive advancement with patients coming in, we would want to add a provider. That is the goal. We want to utilize our providers as well. We don't want to just use the E.R. Concord providers."
Nadanamoorthi said the the proposed clinic has many similarities to a clinic operated out of Henrietta, but feels the hospital could better utilize its resources throughout the area.
"[Henrietta] has slightly lower volume in their E.R. than ours, but they have had pretty good use of their urgent care," She said. "Their set up is a little different, but the type of patients that they see is about the same. Their area is similar to ours, but we may have better utilization from some of the surrounding areas than they would have."
