Recently landed: Bodyclock: Alexei Ratmansky's Surreal Cinderella (Gracia's written response for Fjord Review)
Tick, tock. Tick, tock. Sergei Prokofiev's beautifully eerie time keeping score. Tick, tock. Tick, tock. A row of conical hedges transform with one rotation into metronomes. Tick, tock. Tick, tock. A dancer's leg strikes twelve, over and over. Tick, tock. Tick, tock. A leg can swing like a pendulum, oscillating back and forth from a central point. A body has become a clock, proving Salvador Dali true: "every portrait can be transformed into living room furniture", and thus Mae West's lips become a sofa on which to sit. The body can become an object and an object can become a body. Time and transformation are the threads that bind this new production of The Australian Ballet's Cinderella together.

Pillars of Eternity was an awesome game. A call back to the old days of deep, intricate RPGS that would eat up your time. The game, and its expansion was awesome fun with a great story and an interesting world.
Obsidian have announced a funding campaign for a sequel and I am super excited.
It's already sailed past its funding goal, so there is no real need to get on board if you aren't excited, but keep an eye on it, and definitley give the original a go if you haven't played it yet.

After laying dormant for the better part of a decade, an iconic piece of public art came blinking back to life last night in downtown Los Angeles. Michael Hayden's Generators of the Cylinder originally made its debut along the exterior façade of the International Jewelry Center, across from Pershing Square, in 1982. Upon the building's completion, LA Times architecture critic John Dreyfuss panned the Skidmore, Owings & Merrill structure, but called Generators its "saving grace," remarking "All that saves the building from almost total offensiveness is a remarkably beautiful and exciting neon light sculpture by Michael Hayden."
The installation consists of a 270' long sequence of polycarbonate semi-cylinders that house argon tubes hand-painted in a rainbow of colors. 27 infrared sensors detect the body heat of people walking below, sending this data to a computer hidden in the building's parking garage. The lights flicker and dance in thousands of programmed permutations that reflect this pedestrian activity. 3,000 square feet of stainless steel paneling mirrors the action. Finally, the semi-cylinders are holographically etched to create a rainbow effect when hit by the sun from a certain angle, one of the earliest uses of holography in an artwork of this scale.
After more than two decades, the sculpture eventually fell victim to insufficient maintenance, coupled with economic woes and changes in building management as Carolina Miranda notes, and was shut off in 2008. That is until last fall, when Michael Grosswendt of All Coast Construction was chosen by the building's new owners to restore the piece. After a thorough cleaning and refurbishment involving everything from replacing fuses to overhauling motherboards, the work was ready for a reboot.
Last night just before dusk, a crowd gathered outside the Jewelry Center to witness the re-lighting. They listened to remarks from Hayden, Grosswendt, and others, including a Canadian cultural attaché (Hayden was born in Canada). Dressed in a tux with long silver hair spilling out from under his black hat, Hayden recalled how he was responsible for the palm trees planted in front of the building in the early 80s. Arguing that the proposed deciduous trees would have blocked the view of the lights from nearby Pershing Square, he had threatened to cut them down.
In the intervening years since the work was first installed, Hayden has produced a number of public art works – most notably a 1987 mile-long neon piece in Chicago's O'Hare airport – that enliven and transform mundane spaces. His original intention with Generators, he said, was to create a work that everyone could enjoy, not just "card-carrying gallery goers," as he put it. Then, as the sun began to set, a switch was thrown somewhere and the sculpture flashed to life, casting a rainbow glow on all those assembled.
Generators of the Cylinder is now on view 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, at the International Jewelry Center, 550 S. Hill Street in Los Angeles.

BMR Calculator
Calculate Your
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) with this
Easy-To-Use Tool
Your BMR is the amount of energy your body spends each day when at rest. Your gender, age, height, and weight are important factors in this calculation.
In addition, you may select your current activity level from the list below, which will provide you with information about how many calories your body requires based on your level of activity.
BMR Calculator
What is BMR?
BMR stands for Basal Metabolic Rate and represents the number of calories you would burn in a day if you were inactive and stayed in bed all day. Our BMR calculator allows you to calculate not only the number of calories you burn when your body is at rest and inactive but also a daily calorie figure that takes into account your lifestyle activity level. These two figures together give you a representative figure for your daily calorie intake.
This BMR tool uses two formulas to calculate figures:
- Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR): This formula takes basic variables such as your age, weight and height and provides you with the number of calories you might burn each day if you were inactive for that day.
- Harris Benedict Formula: We use the original Harris Benedict Formula to calculate your daily calorie burn based upon your activity level. The calculation is fairly straight forward, taking your BMR and multiplying it by a set figure based on how active you are.
Using these equations, our calculator can provide you with a somewhat accurate gauge of your daily calorie burn. Do bear in mind that the one thing this method omits is lean body mass, which will obviously have a factor of its own. Very muscular people, for example, would receive a figure that probably under-estimates their calorie needs and very overweight people will get a calculation that over-estimates their calorie requirements.

Despite a 3-1 start to the season, there's a disturbing trend developing for the Munford Lady Cougars.
Once again last Friday night in the William Osteen Gymnasium, Munford Head Coach Steve Poindexter watched his team build a nice lead only to see it slowly evaporate.
This time it was the Millington Lady Trojans trying to make the comeback against the Lady Cougars. Although Bruce Marshall's Lady Trojans trimmed the deficit to 9 points in the fourth quarter, Munford held on to win 42-31.
"We've talked about this before, it's going to be a matter of chemistry, toughness," Poindexter noted. "We're not very tough right now. And offensively, our chemistry isn't very good. I don't know what the stats are tonight, but I guarantee we got killed on the boards.
"I tell my team, 'Tough teams finish out the possession,'" he added. "We're not finish with a possession until you have the ball in your hands. We don't have that sense of urgency on either side of the floor right now."
In Munford's season opener against MHEA, the Lady Cougars were ahead by 20 points late in the third quarter before losing the game. Against Ripley and Haywood, Munford build large leads to watch them dwindle down.
A similar script played out in Millington Friday when the Lady Cougars jumped ahead 14-5 after one quarter courtesy of shots from Phenicia Howard, Lindsey Owen, Shania Johnson and Johnna Jones.
Millington tried to keep pace throughout the first half getting inside players Glenda Garner and Tamia Aldridge touches in the paint. The duo did manage to grab several rebounds but couldn't connect at a rate to keep the Munford lead for growing to 21-8.
Lady Cougar Gabby Crawford hit a jumper late in the first half to make the score 23-10 and Munford was ahead 23-11 at the break.
In the third quarter Munford came out hot with an 8-2 run. Howard drove to the rim for a score. Second later, the senior guard made a steal leading to a layup and a 27-13 lead.
Munford's advantage grew when center Owen snatched a rebound and kissed the ball off the glass to make the score 29-13. Then Jones attacked the rim again driving to the basket for a layup and a 31-13 lead.
Garner stopped the Munford run with a jumper. Millington finished the quarter with a 9-4 rally to make the score 35-22.
The Lady Trojans outscored Munford 9-5 throughout the first 6 minutes of the fourth quarter. Jherika Brown's free throw made the score 40-31 with a minute and 50 seconds left.
"It's hard to watch because we have the potential to be a really good team," Poindexter said. "We have the ingredients. We just haven't had that hunger. At least it doesn't look like we do. We've got to find that.
But the Lady Cougars locked down on defense and a Jones to Crawford layup ended the game 42-31. Although Munford left Flag City with a win, Poindexter felt his team is stuck in neutral when it comes to living up to its potential.
"I can teach them all types of things, but the one thing they're lacking I can't teach," he said. "I can't teach them heart and that aggressive nature. That's something you have inside you or you don't.
"That's self-motivation," Poindexter continued. "I'm motivated for this team. But my motivation can only go so far. You've got to have something within you. You have to have that hunger and that desire. A coach can't give that to you. I can direct them and teach them."
Poindexter said the 3-1 record proved the Lady Cougars are talented. But if the urgency and passion accompanies the natural skills, the Lady Cougars could be a banner squad.
"Nobody wants our team to be successful more than me," he concluded. "I love these kids. But it's hard because I can't teach that. I'm going to continue to push them and work with them. Hopefully as the season goes along, we'll gradually build that. If we do, we'll be a team that can compete come tournament time. If we don't, I don't know what we'll be."

Friday Buy Day 5.21.16
It's Friday again, which means it's Buy Day again (and you may even have some funds saved up because we haven't written a Friday Buy Day in a couple of weeks!). The weather is warm(ish) and we have some fun BBQ's and end-of-the-year parties lined up, so this week we are bringing you our favorite sale/deal picks with Summer on our minds.
Here is your Summer top. A crisp white cotton, a delicate off the-shoulder sleeve and an elastic neckline to accommodate for movement. Wear it with denim shorts and sandals, or tuck it into high-waist, wide-leg culottes for an on-trend look! At $46 (yes, I repeat $46) this darling top will definitely up your warm weather game without emptying your wallet.
Oh, and those denim shorts we just mentioned...here they are. More of a "boyfriend" interpretation, this perfectly distressed pair by BlankNYC are slightly slouchy and the perfect mate to an off the shoulder top or an open knit tank. Wear them with white sneakers and a striped tee for a chic nautical look or try them with a leather jacket and gladiators for a more downtown vibe.
As everyone knows, we have a mild to severe obsession with high-tops but when high-tops won't do, we love these netted "low-tops" by Tretorn. A true classic, we love these sneakers paired with just about everything. Try them with an embroidered top and chambray skirt, or add a little edge and wear them our favorite way with distressed cut-offs and a moto inspired leather jacket...the Panama hat is optional(:
We know it's almost Summer but that doesn't mean you won't be wearing a jacket...even Southern California nights can be chilly...not too mention everything looks better with an awesome black leather jacket. This one is under $275(!!!!!) and is made of calfskin leather with perfect moto inspired detailing, no rockstar boyfriend required(: The sizing is UK so subtract 4 to get your US sizing (i.e.: UK size 10 is US size 6) and get your true size. This brand can run a little small, but the best black leather jackets are fitted and worn with confidence. Treat yourself to a staple that will never go out of style.
How darling is this outfit? Wear are loving the matching top and skirt combo trend and at under $150 for BOTH this is the perfect way to indulge in a trend without feeling wasteful. With delicate embroidered trim and a feminine flounce style, this ensemble is sure to invite some complimentary discussion. Wear it with ankle wrap sandals for a chic, casual look or try it with platform wedges and a top-knot for a friend's shower.
Lastly, this darling poncho by Ella Moss. Now $93 from $258, we love this caftan style topper as a poolside cover-up just as much as we love it with skinnies and wedges. The fringe detailing is spot-on and the pops of orange are a cheerful addition to the heathered oatmeal color. Wear it on a plane with white jeans and sandals, or pack it on your next trip (takes up virtually no space and is super versatile). This is a great piece for a great price.
Happy Weekend!
Cate & Shannon

It was so nice to get away to some sunshine and time to relax, as fabulous as Hong Kong was it was not really a restful break more of an adventure.
It was my friend Micha's 30th birthday, so to celebrate we decided to go to Hvar Island for 6 nights. Hvar, Island is set in the Adriatic Sea just off the the coast of Croatia.
There was not one cloud in the sky for whole duration of our stay, now I have the fully fledged holiday blues! I adores boats, and was lucky enough to hired a private boat for just us girls, it was one of the best days ever.
The only thing that kept me going this week was that Lala and I went to see the beautiful Paloma Faith perform at Somerset House. Being an open air venue we were very fortunate that the rain held off. Jessie Ware supported her, which was a bonus as I have been constantly playing 110% and even posted the video HERE
Here's a few holiday snaps...

|Battle of the Bells
Location 3, Factions:Baratheon. Stark. Tyrell. Lannister. Targaryen.
|Robert's Rebellion
|Stoney Sept
|Rebel victory
The Battle of the Bells was a battle fought during Robert's Rebellion between royal and rebel forces at Stoney Sept. The battle is called Battle of the Bells because at the beginning of the battle the sept tolled the city bells to warn the citizens of the battle and to persuade them to stay inside their houses. The battle was won by the rebel army although the royals were able to retreat in good order.
After the Defeat in the Battle of Ashford, on the Stormland/Reach border, Robert Baratheon turned north. Most likely, he was trying to link up to his allies, the Starks, Tullys and Arryns. It is unknown what happened between Ashford and Stoney Sept but during the journey Robert was wounded and he hid in the Sept from pursuers just before the battle began.
When Jon Connington occupied the town he ordered his soldiers to begin searching the houses looking for Robert Baratheon. They had not found him when the combined Tully-Stark army reached Stoney Sept. The rebels attacked the army of Connington who responded by fighting back fiercely. He wounded Hoster Tully and killed Jon Arryn's cousin and heir, Denys Arryn. At this point Robert came out (probably with his followers) and led the counterattack. Although this seemed to have turned the tide of the battle, Robert himself later maintained that Eddard Stark won it for him. Jon Connington realized the battle was lost and was able to retreat in good order.[1]
The retreat by Jon Connington seems quite a feat due to the fierce fighting and the location (town, house to house fighting) would make it hard to hold the army together. Nevertheless it did not impress King Aerys who had Connington exiled and seized his lands for his failure to deal with rebels. However, this defeat forced King Aerys to realize that Robert was no mere outlaw lord to be crushed at whim, but the greatest threat House Targaryen had faced since Daemon Blackfyre.[2]
At the Battle of the Trident the rebels were on the North bank. Robert was fleeing North when trapped in Stoney Sept.
After the battle King Aerys sent Jonothor Darry and Barristan Selmy to Stoney Sept to rally what they could of the loyalist forces.

It's a busy morning at Red Cross' Curtain Bank in Napier. A team of volunteers is threading sewing machines, stuffing draught-stoppers and checking measurements.
The curtain bank has now delivered more than 10,000 curtains, helping 1,000 households across Hawke's Bay stay warmer and healthier. However, with winter referrals pouring in, there is plenty to keep volunteers busy.
Co-ordinator Janice Zachan says a lot of the curtains go to young families with sick children or people living with elderly relatives.
"Some of them have got no curtains at all and a lot of them are in old homes. It's a busy time of year."
Napier mum-of-two Aisha Puketapu recently received curtains through the programme. Today, she's brought in a box of chocolates to thank the volunteers.
"They've done a brilliant job. The curtains have been awesome," Aisha says. "It's made such a huge difference, especially for our children. They used to get a bit sick."
For most of the volunteers, helping people like Aisha is the main reason they lend a hand. However, there are other benefits too: many enjoy sewing and the social aspect of volunteering is also a drawcard, Janice explains.
"We call ourselves a good counselling service. We yarn about all sorts of things! We're laughing all the time so it doesn't feel like work."
The programme can also provide valuable experience for volunteers. Janice recalls a young woman who had been out of the workforce for a long time when she started volunteering.
"She had lost a lot of confidence. We had her here about six months and by the end of it, she was back to work."
Where to find us
Red Cross runs curtain banks in Hawke's Bay, Rotorua, Tauranga and Wairarapa. Get in touch with your local Red Cross team to find out if you're eligible to receive curtains or volunteer with your nearest curtain bank.

Poor Hygiene in Nursing Homes
Enlist the help of our Chicago Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers!
Not only can poor hygiene be a sign of nursing home abuse or neglect, but it can also spread germs and infection. The immune systems of elderly people are not able to fight off germs as well as they used to. Because of this, residents are always vulnerable to disease and infection; should they come into contact with pathogens, they could suffer serious medication conditions that could could lead to fatal illness. Diligent and competent nursing homes know this, and take all measures to ensure germs do not spread. If your loved one is a victim of poor hygiene in a nursing home, call our Illinois nursing home abuse attorneys. We represent clients in all 50 states and will travel to meet you!

Understaffing Can Lead to Poor Hygiene
Residents require assistance with many everyday tasks, such:
- Changing clothes
- Going to the restroom
- Changing bandages
- Changing diapers
- Taking a shower
Unfortunately, poor hygiene can be a direct result of improperly trained or understaffed nursing home employees. When there is not enough staff to assist residents with basic tasks, or when these tasks are not performed properly, residents can be left in a less than hygienic state; for example, they may stay in the same dirty clothes or bedding for days, not be bathed, or not have their wounds cleaned.
In addition to the care of the patient, nursing home employees should also keep the premises itself clean. For example, bathrooms, dining areas, kitchens, and bedrooms should be cleaned regularly to avoid any potential problems with infection or viruses. If they are not sanitized properly, disease can spread quickly to residents.
Our Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers Can Help
If you have begun to notice signs of poor hygiene—such as dirty living areas, foul odors, obstacles in walkways, uncleaned surfaces, pest problems, or clothes worn for several days—it is critical that you act quickly. At Pintas & Mullins, we can help you investigate the situation and take appropriate legal action. We understand the issues surrounding poor hygiene in nursing home facilities and can help hold responsible parties liable.

"Queen of the Knit"
Carol Milne wearing her Glass, ribbon & LED costume
"Queen of the Knit" video
This knitted glass costume, created by artist Carol Milne, was made to resemble entrelac knitting. It was made specially for the Glass Art Society "Glass Fashion show" (the brain child of Laura Donefer) in Corning, New York on June 11, 2016. Made of cast Gaffer Glass. The model is Kait Rhoads.
First attempt at Entrelac glass
This was round one in entrelac knitting. When I decided I would attach the pieces with zip ties, I redesigned my prototype, so the zip ties would be "invisible" - behind the knitting, and so the pieces were slightly lighter and smaller.
Cutting foam core pattern pieces
Foam core was used to make a mock-up pattern. It's inflexible, like glass, but not fragile.

Originally released in 2006, Once was one of the rare small-budget, foreign-produced movies that managed to capture the imaginations of stateside audiences. The spare, spry romantic musical managed to garner much attention during the following awards season, ultimately earning an Oscar for Best Original Song.
Though Once director John Carney (Zonad) hasn't been idle in the years since his big hit, neither has he helmed anything remotely as successful as that title. Thus, it will be interesting if he can recapture that sense of lo-fi musical magic with Begin Again, a Hollywood-backed romantic comedy starring Mark Ruffalo (The Avengers: Age of Ultron) and Keira Knightley (Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit).
Begin Again's first trailer follows these headliners as a pair of New Yorkers whose lives are suddenly derailed, leaving them to sort out the pieces. Ruffalo plays Dan, an alcoholic record executive whose addiction gets him fired from his dream job; meanwhile, Knightley features as Greta, the ex-girlfriend of a rock star with musical talents of her own. When the pair meet at a local watering hole's open-microphone night, they set off on a risky plan to launch Greta's music career while resurrecting Dan's own life.
Given that it features a pair of down-and-out people making music against the backdrop of a world-renowned city, Begin Again will immediately draw comparisons to Once. Will Begin Again be as amenable to audiences with its bigger Hollywood budget and well-known stars?
After all, a good part of Once's charm was found in its scrappiness. Admittedly, Carney's latest feature looks to be a very different animal than the 2006 romantic drama, skewing more toward laughs than pathos. Nonetheless, the production may not connect as well with audiences due to its expanded scope and resources.
As proof of this larger scale, Begin Again features a cast full of music personalities, including CeeLo Green (Hotel Transylvania), Adam Levine (American Horror Story), and Mos Def (Dexter), as well as actors Hailee Steinfield (Ender's Game), Catherine Keener (Captain Phillips), and James Corden (Into the Woods).
Begin Again will groove into theaters on July 4th, 2014.

I have a new device. No, not that device. Or that one. No, this is a Nespresso Aerocinno. I saw one at a friend's house on a trip to Los Angeles last winter. This thing is amazing. Usually I'm content to take my espresso or coffee straight, but every once in a while I want some foam and froth.
I have managed to steam and froth milk with various steam-shooting attachments on espresso machines over the years, but it was usually a big mess, and the results were mixed. And try as I might, I could never get soy milk to froth at all, which was sad for my wife, who doesn't use dairy but likes a decaf cappucino every now and then.
So my family gave me one of these for my birthday last month.
It's a revelation. It purrs quietly. It whisks up some hot (or cold) foam in a matter of seconds. It is easy to clean up. And it works fine with soy milk.
I'm drinking a fine soy cap right now, listening to a Pandora station on my new iToy and writing this post.
Mmm, creamy and foamy.
The iPad can't do that!
But I have another problem. I've run out of coffee. And that takes me to this week's selection -- the last drop is going down the hatch.
Coffee Monserrate, Huila, Columbia
Roasted March 14 by Café Grumpy in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
Purchased March 16 at Grumpy's Chelsea location, 224 W. 20th St., between Seventh and Eighth Avenues.
Description "Hazelnut aroma, butterscotch sweetness, smooth body and ripe red apple brightness. Caturra & Typica. Washed, sun-dried. Producer: Grupo Asociativo Productores del Nuevo Milenio"
In the cup This is a perfectly fine but ultimately undistinguished coffee in my mind, but I'll admit to being a little distracted this week. I've had it at home in the Jura and at work in the Aeropress (it is better than the previous selection for that). I've never been a big Hazelnut fan, associating it with the worst sort of break-room or gas-station coffee. This is nothing like that flavored stuff. It is just a hint. The butterscotch sweetness and smooth mouthfeel saves the whole thing. And of course, much of the time I have been drowning it in foam and milk, so I can't really be trusted to give it a fair assessment. I do love the Aerocinno.
One note: A small amount of milk is enough to make foam for a few drinks, so it's good to have company when you use it. I will have to experiment before I learn to draw little pictures in the cup the way pro baristas do.
So I just made this cappuccino and a decaf latte for my wife (using the Novo decaf -- sure, we have plenty of that left). We're listening to Pandora's iPad app play a Phish song ("Contact") while I blog this (on my MacBook Air -- I don't see the tablet working for my workflow even on this simple blog, which still requires simple picture uploads and easy typing, but I'll discuss the iPad's limitations in a future post).
I guess I'll have to tear myself away from my new toy(s) and ride my bike to get some more beans today.

My fourth grader is adventurous when it comes to food. Outside our home, he is interested in trying foods I don't cook here and/or what friends and family offer him: clams, hamburgers, lobster, steak, junk food, you name it. At home, I sometimes get a frown when he sees "too many vegetables" at the dinner table. However, I have found a new trick: by serving foods in a different way, Vegan meals somehow become a new, exciting, and enticing dining experience for him. We live in Small Town, U.S.A., so as a food-loving homeschool Mama, one way to open up my son's world view is through his meals. Dinner served in a thali or tagine or Asian bowl suddenly makes my little guy more inclined to indulge in a whole-food plant-based meal. "What are we eating for dinner?" is a question he asks with sincere curiosity these days. I love that my husband heartily eats up what I serve too. Their willingness allows my family to go on an adventure all around the world while we sit happily in my Vegan Kitchen.
Tonight I cooked Ethiopian food and my son's approval and willingness to dig in was no exception. This is not to say he will enjoy every mouthful. He may not. He may like some foods more than others. In my view, this is all OK. The introduction to different flavors, spices and textures are all part of his education at my Vegan table.
Tips for Cooking Ethiopian at Home
- the food processor is your best friend: use it to chop onions, garlic, ginger, and carrots quickly
- measure and chop everything you need before you turn on the heat
- be ready for lots of washing up: I used 4 pots and 1 pan for this meal (I wish I had 2 Instant Pots!)
- these were the recipes that I used for:
- Injera (I used the 1-2 day Injera method. I didn't have Teff, so used whole wheat flour instead. Quadruple the recipe if you want enough for 8 people.)
- Mesir Wat, Kik Alicha and Gomen
- Atklit Wat
- this article was full of useful information and recipes too
- no need for oil, just use water to sauté
- Watch the spices for the Mesir Wat. I have my own Berbere Spice Mix and used only 1 Tbsp, which was spicy enough for my son.
- I soaked the split peas for a few hours and used the Instant Pot for the Kik Alicha. I reduced the liquid to 2 1/2 c but that was even too much (look at photo, it is too soupy). If you do use the I.P., I would reduce the liquid to 2 c and cook for 13 minutes.
- Start with Kik Alicha and Mesir Wat as these take the longest, then Atklit Wat, then Gomen, and finally make the Injera.
- You will have enough food for 8 people or dinner for 3 with enough leftovers for at least one more meal.
They ate a lot of it! My family finished off their Atklit Wat and Gomen. My son, who proclaims to not like lentils, ate all of his Mesir Wat. He didn't care for the Kik Alicha, which my husband liked best of all. They both don't like the foamy feel of Injera, which is not surprising: it was the same response they had to the bread at an Ethiopian restaurant. I really liked it especially for its distinct authentic sour flavors (YAY!). For me, I enjoyed it all, as well as the experience of eating delicious food with my hands.
I love traveling around the world in my Vegan Kitchen. Not only am I actively advocating for a healthy family, but I am educating my son on the variety of cultural and gastronomical whole-food plant-based cuisines around the world.

It is possible to batch process multiple debtors before reporting
to Credit Bureaus. Then you can set up a credit report on this
batch of accounts. This is especially useful for accounts that
have just been imported, but you can process any batch of
accounts. We will demonstrate selecting records to create the
batch that we will process.
This process should only be used on NEW accounts that
have not been previously reported UNLESS you specifically
want to use batch processing to change the CBR status
on a volume of accounts (for instance, sending them
as " Delete from bureau.")
Batch processes tax the system, simulating the
actions of one hundred users at a time! For fastest batch
operations, use Exclusive mode.
First, you will want to determine the records to include in
your batch process.
1. Sign into Collect! as you would normally.
2. Select Browse from the top menu bar and then select
All Debtors from the drop-down choices.
Select All Debtors from the Browse Menu
3. Press F6 to display the Edit Search Criteria for the Debtor list.

Long-range fishing's most coveted record, one that has lasted more than 33 years, was shattered Monday.
Pending approval by the International Game Fish Association, Mike Livingston's 405.2-pound yellowfin tuna caught Nov. 30 on Capt. Mike Lackey's 80-foot sport boat, the Vagabond, will be the IGFA's new all-tackle, world record. The previous record was the 388-pound, 12-ounce yellowfin caught April 1, 1977 by Curt Wiesenhutter aboard the Royal Polaris, owned then by Capt. Bill Poole.
Even if it's not approved by the IGFA, Livingston's tuna, which was weighed in at Point Loma Sportfishing Monday, is the largest ever landed on rod and reel, and it was caught on the fleet's smallest long-range boat, the Vagabond, which is 80 feet long compared to the more than 100-foot long-rangers docked at Point Loma.
"This is a fish of a lifetime for Mike, for our crew, for me and the entire fleet, really," said Capt. Lackey after the giant yellowfin was weighed in on Point Loma Sportfishing's certified scale that was checked on Dec. 2 for certification. "When I think of all the captains like Bill Poole, Frank LoPreste and all the others who paid their dues down here, it's just an honor to be part of catching such an incredible specimen. The whole fleet shares in this. I'm still in awe of this fish. It just sets the bar that much higher."
Livingston, 63, of Sunland, Calif., north of Los Angeles, is a long-time angler who retired recently as a school superintendent. He called the fish "a fish of a lifetime," and thanked Lackey and the crew for the job they did.
"It was my moment, my time," Livingston said. "I'm certainly not the best angler, but I had enough skill to reel this one in. It was just my day."
Lackey shared the moment with Ingrid Poole, widow of the legendary captain. They sipped champagne at the weigh-in and toasted the catch.
"That was a great moment," Livingston said. "Mike honored all of the captains who have gone after this record through the years. Mike's a great captain, a humble guy, great guy."
Lackey said the giant yellowfin was caught last Tuesday at mid-day.
"Mike was one of the fortunate ones to get bit, and the fight was on," Lackey said. "He fought it for 2 hours and 40 minutes, and we were fortunate to get a gaff in it."
Livingston's previous big fish was a 100-pound yellowfin, but he said the fact he never fought a giant yellowfin may have helped him. He said his mission was to catch a fish over 200 pounds, but he never dreamt he'd jump all the way to catching one over 400 pounds.
"I listened to the crew (especially crewman Timmy DePhilippis) and took instructions," Livingston said. "Someone asked me if it felt like 2½ hours, and I said it really didn't. It felt like 45 minutes, really. It was cool. I just leaned back in that harness and took what the fish gave me. I didn't even break out into a sweat. I didn't have to put the reel into second gear until the last 45 minutes of the fight.
Livingston's tuna not only is the largest ever landed by an angler, but it also is the largest ever caught without any back-up reels or assistance from the crew. The IGFA's strict angling rules usually trip up potential record fish caught by anglers on San Diego-based sport boats. But Lackey believes Livingston's tuna will pass the test and be the new yellowfin king.
"Mike fought it in a harness, and the fish fought hard," Lackey said. "Mike handled it really calmly. He did an amazing job fighting this tuna."
Jack Vitek, records coordinator for the IGFA, said the Florida-based clearinghouse for freshwater and saltwater fishing records is looking forward to seeing the application for the record. Livingston said he left the rod and reel with Lackey, who will handle the application.
"We started hearing about this fish before it even hit the dock," Vitek said. "We haven't received anything yet, but we already have seen pictures, and it looks spectacular, just a heckuva fish."
Vitek said since the fish was caught in Mexican waters it will take at least 90 days to approve it as a record. Generally, all-tackle records with such notoriety get examined longer.
"There's a minimum of 90 days, but we'll get right on it once we receive the application," Vitek said.
Livingston used 100-pound test Soft Steel Ultra line that he tied straight to a 9/0 Owner Super Mutu hook. He baited a sardine.
"I normally try and get the biggest sardine, but this one was a medium-sized one," Vitek said.
He used a Penn International 30W reel that was upgraded by Cal Sheets attached to a 5½-foot rod that he custom-wrapped himself.
"I picked up the blank for $20 at the Fred Hall Fishing Tackle and Boat Show and wrapped it myself," he said. "It was just a little no-name rod, and to think that after all these years I'd catch a fish of a lifetime on a no-name rod."
Livingston said he wasn't sure if his reel's backing line was 100- or 80-pound test. The IGFA requires a sample of the line used and rigging.
"We've saved everything from the catch," Lackey said. Also, the fish will be preserved by Lyons & O'Haver.
It has been a season of big fish for the San Diego sport fleet.
Earlier in November, Oregon's Greg Koonce caught a 379.8-pound yellowfin tuna aboard Capt. Tommy Rothery's Polaris Supreme. It was the third yellowfin over 300 pounds caught in the young season. Earlier, Utah's Dan Nagy landed a 345.2-pounder aboard Capt. John Klein's Qualifier 105.
Koonce's giant tuna qualified as the sixth-best ever landed by the fleet, according to records started by Rich Holland and kept up by Bill Roecker of www.fishingvideos.com. But it didn't qualify as an IGFA line-class world record for 130-pound test line because the fish wrapped around the sport boat's anchor line and busted loose. A deckhand gaffed the fish as it was ready to swim off, but IGFA rules prohibit the free-gaffing of a fish no matter how long it had been hooked or the circumstances that caused the fish to get off the hook.
Koonce said he was fishing a double sardine rig off a kite when the big tuna hit. He said the huge fish then took him on a dance that sent Koonce circling the boat's rail three times before it settled in for a battle at the bow.
Koonce had the fish at deep color when a fur seal came up to take a look at the action. That sent Koonce's tuna scampering, and it tangled around the anchor line, and the hook in the fish's mouth broke off. The fish was one tail kick from escaping when deckhand Mark Clark managed to get a gaff in its tail. That allowed four other crewmen to gaff it and haul it aboard the storied Polaris Supreme.
But IGFA rules don't allow the gaffing of free-swimming fish, so the yellowfin won't qualify for world-record status.
Koonce's catch came nearly 18 years to the day that Mark Gasich landed a 399.6-pound yellowfin tuna aboard Rothery's Polaris Supreme. That catch also was disallowed as an all-tackle record because Gasich's original reel was spooled, and a backup reel was spliced to his line and used to land it. IGFA rules prohibit the changing of the rod or reel while the fish is being played. The Florida-based clearinghouse for all fishing records also doesn't allow splicing, removing or adding to the line while the fish is being fought.
Also, in February of 1993, attorney Dave Manella caught a 394-pound tuna aboard the Royal Polaris. But that catch also was not approved as an all-tackle world record because it was determined that a deckhand touched the rod and reel. And Dick Minor, who also was fishing on Rothery's Polaris Supreme, caught a 363.9-pound yellowfin tuna.
That 1992-93 season produced four yellowfin over 350 pounds. This season already has turned up three over 345 pounds, and it's only December.
"The fleet has a chance to get an ever bigger one," Lackey said.
But it's doubtful because so much has to go into the catching of such a giant yellowfin tuna. Everything has to work just right, from the simple knot tied to the hook to the long fight and the final gaffing of the fish.
"I use the KISS method on the boat, and it seems to work out well," Lackey said of the acronym for Keep It Simple Stupid. "
Lackey said the Vagabond was fishing below Magdalena Bay at a bank that now will have to be renamed.
"We need to call it the 400-pound Bank," Lackey said. "I always wondered what it would b e like to be part of something like this. It's great for our sport, great for our industry."

Planning Board denies Mercy expansion application
The Planning and Zoning board met last night at City Hall to discuss various issues, including the proposed Mercy Hospital project. In the end, the board voted down the current plans. This is how it went down.
First off, this is not the previous project, called 300 Bay Residences, the over-the-top monstrosity planned by The Related Group. That was thrown out by the courts long ago. This new project is an actual expansion of the hospital and parking garages at the Mercy Hospital location.

I was going to make lasagna for dinner tonight, but I hadn't fully taken into account one of the items on my to do list: Have tumor removed. For some reason I mistook the word benign for painless. I seriously put it on my to do list as if I was just having my teeth cleaned. By midday the anesthesia had worn off and I was quite aware that I had had surgery on my head. Fortunately, my older kids took over watching my 4 year old and preparing the house for tomorrow evening's party. The spaghetti sauce I made yesterday to use in lasagna was instead reheated and served over pasta.
In the summer when I have plenty of tomatoes I enjoy making spaghetti sauce from scratch, but when fresh tomatoes are scarce I make this easy recipe.
- 14.5 oz. can diced tomatoes
- 15 oz. can tomato sauce
- ½ cup diced onion
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 3 teaspoons Italian seasoning (How to make Italian Seasoning)
- Combine all of the ingredients in a large sauce pan.
- Bring to a boil, then lower temperature and simmer uncovered for at least 30 minutes*.
- After the sauce has simmered you can add ½ – 1 pound cooked and drained ground beef or turkey if you wish.
I have a riding lesson tomorrow morning. I have checked my helmet and it doesn't seem like it is going to rub too much on my stitches, so I am going forward with my lesson because yes, I have a really flat learning curve. 😉

CompanyMileage helps hundreds of organizations reduce their mileage reimbursement expenses with a new and automated approach to the reimbursement process.
How much can we save you? Find out:
At many companies, employees submit reports of their miles driven to accounting departments whose job is to issue checks, not verify claims. Traditional systems based on odometer readings are rife with inaccuracies and are invitations for fraud.
CompanyMileage uses a different approach. Employees report their starting point and destination and the system calculates the driving distance between them. Rather than verifying the miles that were driven, it calculates the expenses to be reimbursed. Automated mileage tracking virtually eliminates the inflated estimates commonly seen with odometer readings.
In just 2 minutes, you can see how easily CompanyMileage can automate your mileage reimbursement processes.
CompanyMileage's SureMileage provides employers with a secure and accurate system for employees to manage mileage reimbursement. In addition, SureExpense is a module that helps reimburse employees for expenses such as tolls, parking, hotels and client meals. Both are available on mobile devices through our mobile application.
CompanyMileage solutions work seamlessly with all major accounting and payroll systems. They are IRS and HIPPA compliant. Security is ensured through a three-tiered system of encryption, certified data centers, and privacy policies.
Instead of verifying the miles that were driven, it calculates the expenses to be reimbursed.learn more
Processing T&E expenses is easy with its internet-based and customizable software.learn more
Access your SureMileage and SureExpense solutions in a mobile-friendly, secure format.learn more
SureMileage calculates more than 300 million miles annually for clients in a range of industries, including healthcare, retail, technology, transportation, manufacturing, professional services and government. SureExpense is equipped to handle all Travel & Expense management needs. Used in combination, the two save more than $1,000 a year per mobile employee. Our mobile app, SureMobile, puts the power of SureMileage and SureExpense in the palm of your hand.
The thousands of care providers using our system have helped us make it the best tool of its kind.
Sales teams need to focus on bringing in revenue, not filing out mileage logs and spreadsheets.
Managing outside staffs has its challenges, but mileage reimbursement need not be one of them.
Mileage reimbursement represents a significant expense, and inefficient systems just add to that expense. Automating the process with CompanyMileage greatly improves mileage verification, resulting in significant savings. So stop wondering about your reimbursement expenses and start managing them with CompanyMileage. Contact us to learn more.

"I didn't know Vegetarian Restaurants in Dublin were this
And here is another opinion from a
Govinda's customer taken directly from a feedback form we handed out: "The food tastes divine!
Full of flavour, I haven't tasted vegetarian food as nice as this before. The desserts are as grand as the
rest of the food served. I can't stop coming back, a fan for life!"
Krishna Temple, Find
Govinda's Vegetarian

Customer Review: "I always seem to end up in
Govinda's when I'm having a bad day. It's just so easy and it feels like a safe place, even though the food isn't
your classic comfort food fare. I always just ask for a bit of everything and watch a smiley pierced person defy
physics with the amount of food supported by a tiny plate. It's amazing value and really healthy without feeling
like you're being painfully cleansed. I go here when I need to swaddle myself and feel calm". EMcG

The food is lovely and the portions are HUGE, I usually go for a small plate and they pile it high,
the fresh salads are really good too! The staff are always helpful and happy! Well worth a visit
for a tasty filling cheap lunch!"

Growing up in Bloomsburg, PA we had this diner on Main Street that seemed to change its name every year or so — Toddle House, The Bloom Diner, and (my favorite) Something Different. It was a lousy diner, not the kind you'd want to hang out in … no that place was across the street, the Texas Lunch. It was the Texas from back in the day … probably the 1930s or so. The Texas had the world famous egg burger, the hot dog special, and anything else that screamed of grease and goodness.
At any rate, that is a strange way to say that I am once again tweaking the look of this site. Just like the new-age diner with bad meals (you seeing the extended metaphor here?), I am once again trying to reinvent my lame content with a fresh look. I loved the old theme, but it was starting to perform poorly as WordPress continued to grow so today I spent an hour or so trolling the Internet for a good WP theme. I found what I found and it is what it is. I suspect most of you never see the actual look and feel of the blog and are stuck with just the same old content. At any rate, the blog has been changed so stop over and take a peek. Let me also say that I am not convinced I like it and may just blow the whole thing up once again — they shoulda done that with the Something Different Diner a long time ago.
Update: Since I got the, "it looks like Vista" comment, I tried just swapping the banner image out. Still not sure.

If the Big Star story warrants box sets and a documentary film, then the saga of Badfinger surely deserves a full-blown mini-series. Maybe the appearance of Badfinger's hit "Baby Blue"( from the brilliant December 1971 Straight Up album ) in the finale of the hit cable series Breaking Bad generated enough buzz to get their tragicomic story into development. Certainly every element necessary is there in spades: working-class struggle; anointing by rock royalty the Beatles; hit songs "Come and Get It"( donated by Paul McCartney ), "No Matter What"," Day After Day","Just a Chance"; intrigue, big money, bigger crooks, pathos, and heartbreaking suicides. Yes, plural. Guitarist/singer/songwriter Joey Molland and Badfinger drummer the late Mike Gibbins tell the dashed dreams of the ill-fated quartet in this classic rock interview. – Redbeard

During the day around Ashland University's campus, one might see senior thrower Jim Toth in his business attire, as he works in the AU Master of Business Administration (MBA) office about 20 hours a week.
Toth did a good deal of business during the first two indoor track and field meets of the 2018-19 season, and has earned a spot among the top men's weight throwers in NCAA Division II.
After graduating from Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School in Broadview Heights, Ohio, Toth began his collegiate career at Division I Pittsburgh. As a freshman walk-on, he competed at both the indoor and outdoor Atlantic Coast Conference championships, but once a scholarship wasn't in the offing, he set his sights on a new school and new track and field program to call home.
"To say the very least, I never settled coming to Ashland," Toth said. "Working under Jud Logan is an honor, it's a privilege. I'm extremely grateful to have been one of his athletes, because we've learned on the track, and even more off the track."
Prior to 2018-19, Toth's top mark in the indoor weight throw was 18.86 meters/61-feet-10½. He earned high marks from Logan for his work in the offseason and preseason leading up to the first meet of the new campaign, the Tiffin Alumni Open. It was there where Toth shattered his AU PR in the weight at 19.79 meters/64-feet-11¼, the No. 8 mark in the country heading into the new year.
"It's definitely a big transition, going from Division I to Division II," Toth said. "It's just incredible the atmosphere that coach Logan brings here, and how all the athletes rise to the occasion when it counts."
Said Logan, "He was somebody who had this frame, but was never going to be able to fully maximize his potential until he filled that frame out. I think he just assumed, coming into our weight-training program, coming into Convo, all of those things, that those things were just going to happen immediately. Jim's what we call a 'hard gainer,' which means that he eats more calories than other kids, that kid puts on five (pounds), Jim puts on one. So the progression was probably slower than he liked.
"And then when he started making progress, he tried to make up for lost time. And so what that caused him to be is always pressing. This year, he just realized that he is a hard gainer, and his throws were going to come up more incrementally. He's now learning to compartmentalize what happens during the week, and break that down into the pieces to get better, and allowing the weekend to reap the benefits."
Toth is looking to get to D-II indoor nationals (March 8-9 in Pittsburg, Kan.) in the weight throw, and to D-II outdoor nationals (May 23-25 in Kingsville, Texas) in the hammer throw and discus throw.
"It definitely makes you hungry," said Toth, "when you see all of your teammates going out there, performing, scoring points for your team. It only makes you want you do it even more, and work harder to achieve that same goal."
Added Logan, "We never thought that this, the weight, would be the one that would get him his first All-American. We thought it was going to be the discus, then the hammer, then the weight. All three are coming along, it's just that the weight is what's hitting first. So we're expecting big things outdoors in the hammer, and really big things outdoors in the discus. He's on a good path right now."
Ashland's men are ranked No. 4 in the indoor U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) national preseason rankings, and the goal is to give the program its first Division II team national championship – indoors, outdoors or both.
"It feels very real," Toth said. "I honestly believe that we can do it this year, with all the guys that we have. I think if we work together, we'll make that dream come true."
Toth, who already has his undergrad degree at Ashland in entrepreneurship and supply chain management, is making sure he takes care of business in the class room, as well. He will graduate from the MBA program in May with a project management specialization.
"I'm starting some projects there," Toth said of the MBA office, "and I'm really excited about getting those going. I think they're going to make a big impact on the university.
"It's important to have a professional image if you are working as a professional for the organization, and I think that you are an extension of the facility you are a part of."

I'm using the standard Zend
/public/.htaccess file (shown below).
At the moment I'm attempting to forward the user to a specific controller/action, and supply the on-success-redirect URL as a URL parameter.
The resulting URL (assembled & encoded via Zend's URL view helper) looks like this:
However this pattern apparently violates the default, Zend package mod_rewrite rules: accessing the URL yields a standard Apache 404 error; Zend doesn't receive the request.
When the final parameter is manually re-formed as follows, the request works as desired:
However this requires a hackish, two-step URL generation process. It would be ideal if the URL produced by the view helper worked independently.
What can be done to permit the url-encoding to pass through? Any insight would be appreciated!
These are the contents of my .htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]
Enabling RewriteLog like so produces no output for the failing pattern:
RewriteLogLevel 9
RewriteLog "<path>/rewrite.log"
I've attempted the solutions proposed by the following two Q&A's, with no change:
- Adding encoded chars to the url breaks htaccess (
AllowEncodedSlashes On)
- Mod Rewrite and Using PHP's GET for URL's When not Following the Rules (use
QSAdirective for rewrite rule)

What I think is most often missed about the Taijiquan classics, because it isn't explicitly stated, is that they present Taijiquan as a conduct practice.
The literary roots of these classics are pretty clearly Daoist and Confucian. The style, language and even a few quotes make this clear. The Taiji classics are syncretic, meaning they draw on several sources yet give a feeling of cohesive wholeness.
Both Daoism and Confucianism conceive human beings, or perhaps I should say humanness, in terms of commitments. It is easy to argue that a person who starts eating human flesh has lost their humanity, but what makes Daoism and Confucianism distinct from "Western culture" is the notion that humanness is a continuum.
In other words, they pose the question, "Just how human are we?" Confucians answer the question by saying there is a protocol one can follow which is based in, and renewed by, an examination of our natural relationships with other people. How well we interact with the people close to us will influence how well each of them interacts with the people they know-- thus creating interlocking chains of good conduct leading all the way from the Emperor to every person in the nation.
Daoists agreed with this assessment, but they said that if a mechanism exists by which we are all connected, than it works on the cosmic level too. Thus our conduct must be connected to animals, stars and earthquakes. Popular Chinese religion often took this idea in to the realm of "wacky." Cults regularly sprung up saying things like, "If we regularly use too much energy getting across town, we will cause the icebergs to melt, the seas to rise and soil to become parched." Oh wait, that was Al Gore--anyway, you get the idea.
Confucians and Daoists both summerized their teachings with lists of precepts. I should add that Daoist precepts often concerned the inner workings of the body itself. While it is often posited that bad digestion must somehow be connected to earthquakes, the connection is not known, and keeping in mind that the connection itself is unknown--is a Daoist precept.
Oh yeah, I was supposed to be talking about Taijiquan. Well, if you take almost any saying from the Taijiquan Classics like for instance, "One's form should have no hollows and no projections" it is easy to see that this is a suggestion about how to perfect the efficiency of one's movement. Confucians think that efficient movement rectifies the heart/mind, and thus leads to clarity in one's actions-- which makes it easier to align what one intends with what one does!
If your intention is to resolve a dispute quickly and efficiently, it is entirely possible that the easiest resolution is to just drop your guard and take the hit.
