In the last few months, I've been reminded of why we use expressions like "heartache" or "broken heart." It's something you forget once your heart has been patched up and healed from whatever its last injury was, but the loss of love can be physically painful. It's a heaviness, an ache in the chest. We read and hear about this all the time, but somehow it's always surprising to experience it firsthand.
I was thinking about this when I read Brian Doyle's 2004 essay on the capacity of the heart—the human heart, but also the varied hearts of other species. Doyle, an essayist and storyteller, passed away just last week at the age of sixty, due to a brain tumor, so the essay was reprinted as a tribute to his work.
Doyle begins by considering the hummingbird, a creature whose heart beats ten times every single second. Hummingbirds have ferocious metabolisms to help propel them through their nimble motions, but it comes at a cost:
The price of their ambition is a life closer to death; they suffer more heart attacks and aneurysms and ruptures than any other living creature. It's expensive to fly. You burn out. You fry the machine. You melt the engine. Every creature on earth has approximately two billion heartbeats to spend in a lifetime. You can spend them slowly, like a tortoise and live to be two hundred years old, or you can spend them fast, like a hummingbird, and live to be two years old.
He goes on to note that we all have some sort of interior motion, some central churning or burning of energy that drives us forward:
Mammals and birds have hearts with four chambers. Reptiles and turtles have hearts with three chambers. Fish have hearts with two chambers. Insects and mollusks have hearts with one chamber. Worms have hearts with one chamber, although they may have as many as eleven single-chambered hearts. Unicellular bacteria have no hearts at all; but even they have fluid eternally in motion, washing from one side of the cell to the other, swirling and whirling. No living being is without interior liquid motion. We all churn inside.
I guess this isn't an essay so much as a reflection, a brief consideration of how even the most diverse of species share an internal epicenter that animates our physical lives. Switching from body to spirit, Doyle notes how fragile the heart can be:
You can brick up your heart as stout and tight and hard and cold and impregnable as you possibly can and down it comes in an instant, felled by a woman's second glance, a child's apple breath, the shatter of glass in the road, the words I have something to tell you, a cat with a broken spine dragging itself into the forest to die, the brush of your mother's papery ancient hand in the thicket of your hair, the memory of your father's voice early in the morning echoing from the kitchen where he is making pancakes for his children.
I've always found it comforting to remember that the heart is a muscle, made for work and strain, thick and resilient. But it's also true that no amount of musculature or repair stops our hearts from being open and vulnerable to pain—often from unexpected places or seemingly small memories, words, encounters. I like how Doyle illustrates the heart's durability while also acknowledging its fragility, which never really goes away. And we probably wouldn't want it to.
I'm glad I found some of Doyle's work, though I'm sorry I didn't come across it sooner. And I hope you'll enjoy his reflection, along with the other articles. First some recipes, starting with breakfast and ending with a stellar dessert.
I haven't made anything with rhubarb yet this spring, but now is the time, and when I do pick some up at the farmers market, I'll be baking Alexandra's beautiful vegan rhubarb streusel cake. It looks like coffee cake, but the base is actually a yeasted spelt dough, so the cake has some lightness to it.
While I'm pretty partial to creamy potato salads, I like ones dressed in vinaigrette, too, and this mustardy springtime mixture from Our Salty Kitchen looks so fresh and tasty.
I love the idea of cooking fava beans, but I'm never entirely sure what to do with them except to make crostini. I love Lisa's fresh, springy fava bean dip, and I'm especially loving the party-friendly vegan pinwheels she whipped up with it!
I think everyone could use a really great, foolproof curry recipe, or maybe even a few of them. Emily's really good everyday curry is pretty much exactly what it sounds like: an easy, adaptable, stress-free curry for anytime. You can just omit the teaspoon of fish sauce, or you can try making some of your own with this recipe.
If it wasn't enough to give us a recipe for vegan peanut butter milkshakes (yum!), Jeanine combines it with a recipe for peanut butter oat cookie dough balls, which you can serve with your milkshake and then keep around for sweet snacking. Loving everything about this summery dessert.
1. First, a thought-provoking article about the difficulties gyms and gym personnel face in knowing whether or not to talk to their patrons about eating disorders.
On the one hand, trainers and gym staff are in a unique position to spot exercise bulimia and addiction; on the other hand, there are lots of potential discrimination issues and privacy violations at stake. You can never tell from looking at a person whether he or she is fighting a battle with disordered eating, which makes the business of intervention (at least from outsiders) really tricky. Someone might be a normal weight or overweight by conventional standards and still be in trouble; a person might also be underweight because of an illness or another factor that has nothing to do with an eating disorder.
I took a yoga class last year in which a very underweight person practiced and ultimately had to leave the room. I wondered how the studio and instructor staff must have felt about her taking the class, but I also wondered whether the alternative–confronting her or encouraging her not to practice–would have been better. Something about keeping any person out of a yoga studio feels so wrong.
I was also really surprised at how angry the woman's presence in the studio seemed to make other practitioners, who spoke about the incident after class. Many people were furious that she had practiced at all. I can definitely understand how the situation might have been triggering or upsetting, but at the same time, I felt an absence of empathy. EDs are mental illnesses, and I doubted that the young woman–assuming she had an eating disorder–wanted to be the center of attention or upset other people. Perhaps she had come to yoga in an effort to treat herself more compassionately, in which case the intention would have been a meaningful one, even if her body wasn't up for it.
2. An interesting and readable article on allergies and autoimmune diseases in our modern world.
3. This article delves into why many adults continue seeing pediatricians long after their childhood years are over; one reason is that chronic childhood illnesses are better managed now, which means that people live with them longer. They may not wish to switch over to new practitioners if their pediatricians are really intimate with the details of their medical histories.
4. A really troubling article on the global shortage of penicillin–a drug we have enough of, but are failing to make in sufficient volume because it isn't as profitable as others.
5. Finally, Brian Doyle on the heart.
Hoping you all savor the rest of this Sunday. Tomorrow, I'll be posting a new bowl recipe, one I like so much that I've had it for dinner a couple nights in a row. Stay tuned!

Jeremiah 23 GOD'S WORD Translation (GW)
The Righteous Branch
23 "How horrible it will be for the shepherds who are destroying and scattering the sheep in my care," declares the Lord. 2 "This is what I, the Lord God of Israel, said to the shepherds who take care of my people: You have scattered my sheep and chased them away. You have not taken care of them, so now I will take care of you by punishing you for the evil you have done," declares the Lord.
3 "Then I will gather the remaining part of my flock from all the countries where I chased them. I will bring them back to their pasture, and they will be fertile and increase in number. 4 I will put shepherds over them. Those shepherds will take care of them. My sheep will no longer be afraid or terrified, and not one of them will be missing," declares the Lord.
5 "The days are coming," declares the Lord,
7 "That is why the days are coming," declares the Lord, "when people's oaths will no longer be, 'The Lord brought the people of Israel out of Egypt. As the Lord lives. . . .' 8 Instead, their oaths will be, 'The Lord brought the descendants of the nation of Israel out of the land of the north and all the lands where he[a] had scattered them. As the Lord lives. . . .' At that time they will live in their own land.
Warnings to the False Prophets
9 "Say this about the prophets:
I am deeply disturbed.
13 "Say this about the prophets of Samaria:
I saw something disgusting.
14 "Say this about the prophets of Jerusalem:
I see something horrible.
15 This is what the Lord of Armies says about the prophets:
I will give them wormwood to eat and poison to drink.
16 This is what the Lord of Armies says:
Don't listen to what the prophets are saying to you.
23 "I am a God who is near.
25 "I've heard the prophets who speak lies in my name. They say, 'I had a dream! I had a dream!' 26 How long will these prophets continue to lie and deceive? 27 They tell each other the dreams they had, because they want to make my people forget my name, as their ancestors forgot my name because of Baal. 28 The prophet who has a dream should tell his dream. However, the person who has my word should honestly speak my word. What does grain have to do with straw?" asks the Lord. 29 "Isn't my word like fire or like a hammer that shatters a rock?" asks the Lord. 30 "I'm against the prophets who steal my words from each other," declares the Lord. 31 "I'm against the prophets who speak their own thoughts and say that they speak for me. 32 I'm against those who prophesy dreams they made up," declares the Lord. "They tell the dreams they made up and lead my people astray with their lies and their wild talk. I didn't send them or command them to go. They don't help these people at all," declares the Lord.
33 "When these people, the prophets, or the priests ask you, 'What revelation has the Lord burdened you with now?' say to them, 'You are the burden! I will abandon you, declares the Lord.' 34 Suppose the prophets, the priests, or these people say, 'This is the Lord's revelation!' I will punish them and their families. 35 They should ask their neighbors and their relatives, 'What is the Lord's answer?' and 'What did the Lord say?' 36 They should never again say, 'This is the Lord's revelation,' because each person's word becomes the revelation. They will twist the words of the living God, the Lord of Armies, our God.
37 "Jeremiah, say this to the prophets, 'What was the Lord's answer to you?' and 'What did the Lord say?' 38 Suppose they say, 'This is the Lord's revelation!' Then say, 'This is what the Lord says: Because you have said, "This is the Lord's revelation!" even though I commanded you not to repeat this saying, 39 I will certainly forget you. I will throw you out of my presence and out of the city that I gave you and your ancestors. 40 I will bring eternal disgrace and shame on you. It will never be forgotten.'"

In this blog post, we will see how to start with expressjs and create your first hello world application
Express is a minimalist frontend framework of nodejs. This framework can be used to create fast and robust apis, mobile app backends, small websites, and many more things. We will straight away get into how to create your first application. This blogs assumes you already have a background knowledge of working with nodejs.
To install express simple run
$ npm install express
*assuming you have nodejs installed already this will install express
Getting Started
Fastest way to get started with express is to use express-generator. It creates a directory structure and pre-defined files which help you to get started with express.
To install express generator use
$ npm install express-generator
Lets name our project "helloworld", so to create an express project. Simply run
express helloworld
It will create various directories and files for your application.
Next we need to install dependencies relating to the project
cd helloworld npm install
now finally to run your application do
set DEBUG=helloworld & node ./bin/www
On ubuntu/linux you don't get the bin/www folder then follow this process to install
$ npm -g install express $ npm -g install express-generator
And if you get errors like 'debug' module not found, then run npm install for each module
npm install debug
Now in your browser if you open http://127.0.0.1:3000 you see your first express app.

Reviewing: Osama Emara
A question answered by Shaikh Muhammad Salih Al-Munajjid regarding: "I have a problem with my husband i.e. I know that I am supposed to go to him when he calls me to his room, even if I'm not in the appropriate mood. I also know that lying is a despicable thing, but pleasing my husband is utmost thing on my mind. So is it wrong of me to fake having a sexual climax with my husband? This is a terrible problem for me, because I don't want to lie, but it embarrasses my husband if he cannot fulfill my pleasure. This pretending is hard to stop, and also extremely embarrassing for me to admit to my husband. Please help me, and also remember me in your du'aa'!"

Mandy & Greg ~ Expecting!
Pasadena, California
Art and I photographed a maternity session at one of our all time favorite locations. I was happy Mandy and Greg went with this spot because the light was magical the day of their session. I'm not even exaggerating. It was beautiful! Mandy and Greg are expecting a baby girl so, of course, since we have a baby girl, I felt super happy to talk pregnancy and babies. Now that Art and I are parents we truly feel like we have a common bond with other parents. I love photographing maternity session and family sessions because I see them in a different light now. I see them through the eyes of another mother. It's no longer just my photographer side, there's way more to it. I think what would I want to see hanging on my wall, what makes a parent's heart feel happy, what will a child appreciate when they are older. There's so much more to it.
Mandy looked so beautiful and was totally glowing, while Greg looked like a proud papa to be. We really enjoyed photographing them and chatting about their experiences while expecting. Here is Mandy and Greg's session. I posted just a few of my favorite images but I am so in love with all of them!
Behind the scene...Art is not just a photographer, he is also director of props :P

Underground Mining and Milling Operations Commencing Immediately Ramp-Up of Milling and Mining Operations Now Underway
VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - June 13, 2017) -
Resource Capital Gold Corp., (
The Company commenced continuous mining and milling operations immediately following the receipt of the approvals, and is ramping up its operations to the 300 tonnes per day rate. The Company expects to reach that rate in late July, 2017 as a part of its test mining, exploration and demonstration of the economics of the project on the first 15,000 tonnes of materials. The Company is not basing its decision to proceed with the test mining operations on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability; as a result there is increased uncertainty and economic and technical risks of failure associated with its decision.
RCG has also entered into contracts for the refining and sale of gold produced from the mine. These contracts follow the recent adjustments in the gravity and dore circuits which have enabled the Company to prepare gold dore bars in a marketable form for sale.
The Company plans to steadily ramp up its mining and milling operations to planned capacity of 300 tonnes per day by the end of July, 2017. Recent extensive preparations at the mine and mill enabled the Company to commence operations as soon as the final permit transfer approvals were received. These have included substantial refurbishment in the mine and mill, and commissioning of a Preliminary Economic Assessment for the project. Testing of the mill was also completed as well as successful adjustment to milling circuits to demonstrate high milling efficiency and to enable high gold recoveries from the project's gravity and dore circuits. Hiring and training of mine and mill personnel along with equipment selection and procurement activities requiring significant lead times and expense, have been completed. This work was accomplished within budget and without need for additional capital.
"We are very pleased to receive the final permit transfer approvals and to immediately commence full demonstration operations at both the Dufferin mine and mill," said George S. Young, CEO of RCG. "We can now concentrate on the smooth and deliberate increase in our mining and milling rates to achieve the targeted rate of 300 tonnes per day of high-grade gold material. We look forward to the expansion of our operations to that capacity over the next several weeks. I congratulate our staff in refurbishing the mill, conducting test milling and adjusting the mill circuits, hiring and training mine and mill personnel, finalizing permit transfer approvals, and preparing for and commencing operations in just 8 months since acquiring the Dufferin project."
About Resource Capital Gold and the Dufferin Project
Resource Capital Gold Corp. is developing the high-grade Dufferin Gold Mine and mill in Nova Scotia. The Dufferin project covers 1,684 hectares in 104 mineral claims which contain more than 14 east-west trending "saddle reef" quartz vein gold-bearing structures, each with free-milling gold. The stacked gold reefs are open at depth and extend along trend for over 4.7 kilometers.
The Company is also advancing the Tangier and Forest Hill gold projects and is preparing preliminary economic assessments ("PEA's") on both.
About the Forest Hill property
Forest Hill is an advanced gold project with a drilled gold resource. Gold was discovered in 1893, followed by production, which up to 1916 produced 26,792 ounces at an overall recovered grade of 16.6 g/t Au. In the 1980s, a 230-m shaft was sunk and approximately 94,000 tonnes of ore mined. A total of 10 km of underground workings exist on the project, along with 249 surface drill holes totaling 34,413 m and 127 underground drill holes totaling 7,267 m. The project comprises 1,840 hectares in 115 exploration claims.
Steeply dipping stratabound quartz veins on the south limb of the east-west trending Forest Hill anticline contain free-milling gold. Numerous veins have been encountered on the property, and they have been tracked for over 600 m along strike and 250 m down dip with excellent continuity demonstrated by drilling and mine workings.
The project shows very good grades, and bulk sampling during the 1980s returned grades between 9.2 g/t Au and 13.8 g/t Au for diluted ore, with 94.9% overall recovery, of which 74.2% recovery was attained by gravity methods alone. The expansion potential at Forest Hill is very good, with mineralization open at depth along the entire mineralized system.
About the Tangier property
Tangier was the site of the first gold discovery in Nova Scotia in 1860. Total historic gold production up to 1919 is estimated at 29,000 ounces at a recovered grade of 17.5 g/t Au. The property saw several phases of bulk sampling during the 1980s and 1990s, the best of which was 2,578 tonnes with a recovered grade of approximately 16 g/t Au.
A total of 211 surface and underground drill holes have been completed on the property. Past mining activities have developed 3,300 m of underground workings. The mine sits on a project area of 1,904 hectares in 119 exploration claims.
The Tangier gold deposit is situated along the east-west trending Tangier anticline, a structure that has been traced for 7.3 km. Within this anticline, two sections totaling 1.4 km have been explored with drilling and past mining, which demonstrate good continuity of gold-bearing quartz veins to depths of 300 m. Gold-bearing quartz veins have been identified over a total strike length of 3.4 km on the property. This work has identified 70 or more gold-bearing quartz veins, demonstrating an extensive mineralized system.
Mineralization at Tangier consists of coarse flake gold and nuggets in generally stratabound quartz veins up to 1.5 meters thick containing calcite and up to 5% sulfide minerals, including pyrite, pyrrhotite, arsenopyrite, sphalerite, and galena. The characteristics of the mineralization indicate that the deposit is an orogenic gold deposit, similar to the Dufferin Mine and others in Nova Scotia's Meguma Terrane.

For my show in November, one of the paintings that is in process is called, Connect the Dots. I will write about the concept behind the piece later. The image starts with a field of dots on canvas. I decided that last First Friday, I would invite guest to paint dots. I gave guests paint and a Q-tip. Then they would make dots on the canvas. I'm guessing I had about 50 people participate between First Friday, a college group from Lincoln College that came on tour, and the Art Circle.
Dot by dot, the field of dots grew. I'm interested in how the dots look together, and how other people place them on the canvas. My greatest interest is in communicating the point of the piece while making it into a fine art image, when all is said and done. That's the struggle, that's the challenge, and the beauty of the assignment.
I asked the Art Circle to make dots, within a certain area. I dictated the color and the proximity for a reason. The others who painted, I gave them free reign as to where, only asking them to make a small dots.
Once back in the studio, I started to add more elements. It's a slow process.
I will show the process in a later post. Also, I will write about the concept behind the piece.
This is close to where I left off. My last attempt landed me a bout with the sponge scrubbing the canvas. It was late last night, and time to pause. Stay tuned.
I'm excited to share the why behind the piece. I heard once that you had better know the why, because it helps you when the how gets hard. One of my favorite sayings that I tell myself, is, "Somewhere between the yes and the finished project was 'What was I thinking!'"

Final report on Institutional and Subject repositories published
Posted by gazjjohnson on 13 January, 2009
Read the report here:
Jones, C and Darby, R and Gilbert, L and Lambert, S [2008] Report of the Subject and Institutional Repositories Interactions Study.
Just glancing through the exec summary makes for interesting reading. A lot of the survey work was conducted with the UKCoRR membership last year and in many respects is a good overview of current custom, practice and cultural drivers that exists in the UK repository field.
I was interested to note that the first of their 7 recommendations was "continued support be given to implementation of national standards for unambiguous identification of authors, funders and higher education institutions". Having had a little involvement with REF preparations I know how crucial this step is going to be, and that as LIS staff we're likely to have a considerable role to play behind the scenes in facilitating this.

Christians have always seen sharing food together as a way of celebrating God's goodness to us and of building up friendships. The Bible also places a particular emphasis on the importance of offering hospitality to others. Throughout the Bible, and particularly in the New Testament, there are many encounters with God centred around meals.
For this reason, sharing time together and showing hospitality to others are important in the life of our parish family.
If you'd like to get involved, there are two ways to do so.
No cooking ability is required, just an enthusiasm to welcome and serve others.
Our Catering Team prepares light refreshments after our main Sunday services, and also more substantial refreshments on some special occasions in our yearly calendar when we gather together as a Christian community and when we welcome others.
To get involve, please complete the form below.

When it comes time to visit Mom or Dad at their memory care home, you don't want to show up empty-handed! Small gifts or keepsakes will be highly appreciated and will be something your loved one can enjoy after you depart. Certain items make better gifts than others. Oftentimes even the simplest things can bring a lot of joy and make your next visit to your family member even more special.
Make a connection with pictures, scrapbooks, and homemade art
Visiting your loved one is all about affirming your love and connection. One of the best ways to do that is to bring new pictures of your family. Mom or Dad will love seeing their children and grand kids smiling, and the pictures can help you tell great stories of your recent adventures. Scrapbooks with older pictures are also great things to bring. Scrapbooks offer another opportunity to tell old stories. Let Mom or Dad join in the telling to share the memory together. It's okay if they don't get all the details right. There's no need to correct them. Just enjoy the experience.
Finally, kids love to make hand-drawn cards, write poems, draw pictures, and make art. Encourage your children to make something for Grandma or Grandpa. Your loved one will treasure these things, especially if they get to keep them in their room. Quality doesn't matter. It's the thought and effort that count!
Avoid plants and sweets
It's natural to want to treat your loved one with something beautiful or sweet like a plate of cookies or a bright bouquet of roses. However, too many sweets aren't healthy, especially for a person with dementia who may not be able to moderate their eating as well as they did in the past. Instead, consider bringing one or two little treats, like a single piece of cake or one or two cookies for Mom to snack on.
Live plants or flowers also don't do well in a memory care facility. Many residents aren't able to give plants the care they need to thrive (especially because the plants must live inside). Flowers also quickly die. It's far better to give your loved one something that is sturdy and long-lasting so they can enjoy it for a long time.
Magazines and posters
Personal gifts mean a lot to memory care residents. If Dad was an avid fisherman, then consider bringing him a fishing magazine or a poster of his favorite fishing boat. If Mom always subscribed to Better Homes and Gardens, bring a few issues for her to flip through. Consider also bringing a poster that she will enjoy, perhaps featuring flowers or a well-known painting. Short, easy-to-read items like magazines are usually better than books or long movies, which can tax memory care patients. Posters that are enjoyable to look at are also always popular.
Holiday trinkets
Holidays are always a popular time to visit Mom or Dad. Consider bringing something small to help them celebrate this special time of year, like a wreath for Christmas, a menorah, a pretty Easter basket, or a Valentine's Day card signed by the whole family. These decorations and gifts don't have to be big or expensive (in fact, they shouldn't be!) Even simple gifts can mean a lot.
Before your visit, check out the events calendar at your family member's facility to see if any fun events are coming up. For instance, if a dance is on the agenda, consider bringing Mom a new blouse or hair barrette. Maybe Dad would appreciate a new bow tie. For St. Patrick's Day, bring a fun hat or green beads that you picked up at the local party store! For a birthday or a special anniversary, talk to the staff about setting up a special place for the two of you (or your whole family) to have lunch or dinner together. You can bring in a favorite homemade dish or grab a to-go order from Dad's favorite restaurant.
Avoid expensive and fragile gifts
We know that you want to shower your loved one in nice gifts, but people with dementia often drop and lose things. There is no sense in bringing a delicate Christmas ornament that has been in the family for generations if it might be lost or damaged. The same goes for expensive jewelry. Your loved one will be just as thrilled to receive a new pair of earrings from Target as she would from Tiffany's. Some cozy socks or a scented lotion/aftershave can also make a great gift. Remember, your presence and love are the true gift you can give to your loved one!
If your family member is at Sunshine Care, you can always give us a call to ask questions about what to bring for your loved one. We also invite you to connect with other families through our special support group and education for caregivers and families affected by Alzheimer's and dementia. We meet every third Monday of the month from 4:00 – 5:00 PM at Sunshine Care Homes. Every group is open to the public. Give us a call at (858) 518-8949 to RSVP for our next support group meeting.

Simple Vegan Dog Treats/
Are you a dog owner that is conscious about what kinds of foods you put into your own body? Have you considered that you may be harming your beloved four legged best friend by providing them with processed and questionable foods? Find a simple recipe below that uses real food and don't harm your dog, any other animals or the world! These are also safe for you or your children and are super delicious for a snack or crumbled on top of a smoothie.
- 4 Sweet potatoes
- 1/2 c - 3/4 c raw unsalted peanut butter
- 1 1/2 c oatmeal
Preheat oven to 350F. Steam your sweet potatoes in the microwave. Make sure you puncture the skin so they can breathe. I didn't include the skin, but you probably can. Steam them with the skin on and it will peel right off after steaming. I steamed mine for about 5 minutes in the microwave (regular setting). Mash your sweet potatoes and add in the oatmeal. Stir in your peanut butter. I found fun silicone molds on Amazon which work great! Press mixture into molds and bake for 20 minutes (may need to bake longer depending on your mold)
Store well in the refrigerator for up to a week! Dog (and human) approved.

I've gone on the record before stating that the nebulously defined subgenre of 'white guy with acoustic guitar' tends to turn me off. It's not that there isn't some serious talent in that category, but like with all minimalist setups, if every element isn't on point, it's all the more noticeable and glaring. I admit it's a bias - it's a genre that's as old as most music itself - and I can definitely respect the instrumental talent that can be brought to the table, but that's not always what you get with your typical middle-of-the-road adult alternative acts.
So what about white girls with acoustic guitars? Does it bug me as much? Well, as much as the parallel exists and as much as there is some music in that particular genre that turns me off, I'll admit I've been lucky enough to find more singer-songwriters in this vein that I like and who don't exasperate me as much as their male counterparts. Granted, that doesn't mean I don't have my issues here - they can succumb to the same lazy songwriting cliches and tactics as anyone, and they can bore me just as badly.
Fortunately, one of the exceptions has been Sharon Van Etten, an American singer-songwriter who stepped into the indie folk scene with the good but unremarkable Because I Was In Love in 2009. For me, I was immediately struck by the straightforward passion of her vocal delivery - she didn't mince words or was afraid to show real vulnerability, and there were occasional flights of nuance that cropped up in her songwriting. And after the rougher, shorter, more abrasive, and much better record Epic in 2010 and the much more vulnerable album Tramp in 2012, I was intrigued where Sharon would be aiming to take her newest album, especially given her recent tours with Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and his reputation for visceral, gripping songwriting. How did that turn out?
Well... eh, it's good and solid, although I'd argue it feels decidedly out-of-place when it comes to modern sensibilities, and not just because Sharon's voice is sounding more and more like Joni Mitchell's. No, this is a record thematically exploring the concepts of waiting and patience, and not just in the various scenarios that are described in the lyrics, but in the composition as well. Thus, we have an album that feels very languid and long, but done so in order to intensify specific emotions associated with said songs. And with few exceptions, it pretty much works, leading to a solid record that I don't quite love but will happily recommend.
So let's get the obvious positives out of the way first, and that starts with Sharon Van Etten. As I've said before, she's a gorgeous singer and has phenomenal vocal ability, both in measured organic control and the ability to deliver a ton of emotion without sinking into melodrama. You can buy her real passion in her voice, and it lends her more dramatic pieces a ton of power. What impressed me most on this record was her emotional range - while she had proven damn effective in sardonic kiss-offs and vulnerability, here she's required to show real simmering anger and she owns it impressively.
And of course the songwriting's good too. Sharon has always had a knack for great, free-flowing meter and using a solid grasp of language to create compelling songs, and she shows a lot of variety in her stories here. Take for instance 'Afraid Of Nothing', where the guy in question hasn't revealed dark secrets about himself, and Sharon is willing to be patient, but at the same time she doesn't want to be insecure about her love and struggles with that constant fear. Perhaps she was scared of the situation that plays out in the excellent 'Your Love Is Killing Me', a song about an abusive relationship where Sharon's more visceral language shows that she'll be taking no more and putting an end to his 'love'. Or maybe she was concerned about the brittle frustration in 'Taking Chances' or the seething resentment on 'You Know Me Well' or the neglect in 'Break Me', even though that song is underscored by the fact that even though she's trying to be nonchalant, she wrote the song about her impatience anyway. That level of self-awareness really is one of the big highlights of the album for me, as it makes songs like 'Nothing Will Change' and 'I Know' all the more heartbreaking - but at the same time, it makes more straightforwardly vulnerable songs like 'I Love You But I'm Lost' come across as a little awkward. And it makes the final track 'Every Time The Sun Comes Up' that seems to endorse taking the long view a little harder to buy, because Sharon's patience really comes across as a mixed blessing - but then again, that might be the point with her final line, 'Every time the sun comes up, I see double'. She sees both possibilities by taking her time, a point that seems more to focus on the little decisions that matter rather than larger gestures.
And for the most part, the music tends to agree with this assumption, as the melodic compositions feel longer and more languid, taking their time to intensify their emotion and tension, to show her patience and ask for ours. And given the most diverse instrumentation on this album yet, there is a fair bit to hold our attention. The steady sharpness of the drums and drum machines on 'Taking Chances', the organ and hollow percussion of 'Your Love Is Killing Me', the booming percussion and growling guitars of 'You Know Me Well', the odd elegance of the synth lines on 'Break Me', and somber, minor-chord heavy piano melody of 'I Know' do a lot I really like, even if I do feel the guitar production could have had a little more sizzle and some of the synth lines could have used a better tone, with the most annoying being on 'Our Love', the low point of the album. Many critics have drawn comparisons to The National, but I wouldn't quite go there, as that band has always been characterized by their propulsive percussion, especially on their last two albums, and forward momentum doesn't seem to really be a priority with this release.
And to a certain extent, that might be the problem. As much as I respect Sharon's themes and compositions and especially her desire to not make a hook-laden record, I do feel she's not exactly playing to her strengths. At her best, she's a songwriter who can use language with sharp edges, and thus I tend to like her compositions that can support that - but when the album chooses to go for less dramatic stakes, it can start to drag and creep into melodrama. As much as those small moments matter all the more, Sharon is the sort of songwriter and composer who could make those moments sound big and matter in a very immediate sense and drive the drama, and when she goes in the opposite direction, it's a jarring fit for her voice and at the worst case is a lot less interesting, at least for me.
But look, in the end this album is solid enough for the themes it is exploring and is frequently beautiful, but at the same time I'm not sure that I see it having a lot of lasting impact for me. That said, I can recognize good songwriting and composition when I hear it, and this album gets a 7/10 and a recommendation from me. As I said, I'm not always the biggest fan of the 'white girl with acoustic guitar' genre, but if you're looking for an act near the top, Sharon Van Etten's definitely one to see, and while I don't think Are We There is as good as Epic, it's definitely worth your time.

People who dont have their own personalities(I will explain later ) are known for intimidating other people.
People who dont know who they are in Christ try to copy off others but God didn't make you to act like others.
If he wanted you to be someone else he would have made you someone else. So many people are confused about who they were meant to be because they don't have a relationship with God.
He wont just tell you bluntly but he will give you some sort of idea.God never says anything that contradicts The Bible.
When we try to imitate people we sometimes pick up their habbits. If someone tries to imitate a thug then they will pick up thuggish behavior. What we say and do affects a huge part of our life.
What people don't understand is that that our words have created power and we must watch the way we use them. This is why some people live a victorious life and some live the opposite type of life. If someone is a positive thinker and talker they will live a victorious life but.vice versa they want live a victorious life.
Our words are like seeds and the rest is done by nature basically. I don't know about you but I want plant good seeds. Some people say they don't believe this principle but if someone complimented you ,you would be happy.
This is a great principle to learn and practice and I recommend you try it.
Please let ne know what you think about this post and please feel free to apply this principle and let me know if it worked.
Another thing I would like to include in this post is that there is so much negativity around that people get easily discouraged but if people would be positive people would be encouraged and God knows people need encouragement nowadays.

What Our Clients Says
These guys were awesome. They were willing to satisfy my difficult requires and the best part of my experience was working with directly with the owners of the company. They were willing to bend over backwards and very flexible with my needs and even gave me a discount for being a return customer.
John Honululu, Hawaii
Hands down the most realistic replica I have ever ordered. The interior detailing is second to none. Many companies can only provide painted windows. Model Works were able to provide with a full interior at a very high quality while providing a very competitive rate.

While transiting to our next destination, we are enjoying the surroundings of the great blue and its inhabitant. Whales came to visit us, for a swift and discreet welcome.
As we get closer to the coast, birds start to follow the ship, hoping to dine on a quick meal, spying the waves we are making for an easy catch.
One of them came a bit too close to the mast. He had a piece of fish net caught on his leg. Luckily, a crew member quickly stepped in, climbed the bow mast to free him.
This is just the beginning of a 3 month tour we hope will help restore our African ocean. Take a look at more daily pictures here and more information about our expedition in the West African waters here.

Simon asks how we should learn from the Temptations of Jesus. What should we make of this teaching? In Exodus we read that Israel set apart to show the world who their father is so that the nations would come to know their father too by the way they lived to a light to the nations around them. When tests and temptations come would they resemble the character of their father. Will they look like God or betray their sonship? Jesus himself enters into history to show us who the Father.
Ch 4 is a spiritual battle. Satan is tempting God's son to betray his identity of looking like God and his mission. Who are you going to be and what will you do to accomplish your mission.
3 ways of accomplishing His mission to become King.
Test 1: in the wilderness. Jesus body and mind weakened. Reminds him of his human needs. Who are you…are you the son of God really? How are you going to be the Messiah? Are you going to use your power for yourself. If you did you would be so popular. A short cut to the throne. Will you indulge your power? asks Satan. Jesus does not indulge his power for his needs.
Test 2: The temple, the place of worship. At the top where all the faithful Jews will be. If you are the Son of God then put on a show. Jesus, will you manipulate the crowd into believing in you?. Jesus resists because this is not what God is like. He will not manipulate his identity.
3rd way. I will give you all of it. The king who takes rather than the servant who would give. A jewish Alexander. A military shortcut to the throne. Jesus will you force them? Will you bow down and worship and betray his identity? God is not like that. God does not abuse power like we do. Kingdoms already belong to him. What kind of messiah are you going to be? All quotes from Deuteronomy.
If you are unfaithful and betray your identity then there will be consequences. The way of Jesus is the way of the cross, self giving love, humble service, sacrificial suffering because this is what God is like, this is who he is. He gave up his life so we can find it in Him. The God who meets us in Jesus. No crown with out a cross.
In the face of temptation we will be asked who we are and how we will accomplish our mission. Through out Church history we have not resisted satan. We play the power game to coerce people into the kingdom. We can wish that the message to share is more palatable or more wonders to display. But that is not what God is really like.

MUMBAI (Reuters) - Supply restrictions imposed on India's largest drugmaker Sun Pharmaceutical Industries by U.S. regulators have been lifted, the company said on Tuesday, removing a major drag on its share price.
Sun will now be able to resume shipments of drugs made at its Halol factory in western India, which contributed as much as 15 percent to its U.S. revenue in 2015. The restrictions on some drugs made at the site had been imposed after an inspection revealed quality control failures.
The world's fifth-largest generic drugs maker has been working on fixing problems identified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the agency conducted another inspection in February.
"The agency concluded that the inspection is now closed and the issues contained in the warning letter issued in December 2015 have been addressed," Sun said in a statement.
The clearance could add as much as $100 million to the company's 2019 revenue as it ramps up volumes, said Praful Bohra, a pharmaceuticals analyst at Religare Capital Markets.
Halol is one of Sun's most important sites because it also has the technical capabilities to make the complex niche drugs the company is developing to counter increasing competition in the United States.
The company said last month that it plans to launch three new drugs this year and is considering cutting down on spending on some generic drug projects that have become unviable.

Actually a couple of timer questions. It appears that after the cooker has reached temperature, to activate the timer you need to:
Do you have to actually do this every single time you want to start a timer or just the first time to get the "timer" button to appear?
Also, does the unit turn off when the timer expires or does it just beep (or both)?
Hi @adnewman - Thank you for sharing this, it's very helpful to our other community members! We also have a video if you're interested, which can be seen in a related thread here: https://community.anovaculinary.com/discussion/344/video-setting-the-timer-temperature/p1
You will have to set the timer for a new countdown each time like this. It will not turn the unit off when it expires, although using the app will give you more control over this and will enable you to pause the cooker remotely, as long as you're within range for Bluetooth.
Thanks @JordanHouston I appreciate the answer. I have ordered a unit (confirmation #143043). I'm curious, however as to why the timer functionality has to be so complicated. There is a single "timer" button on my stove. When the timer isn't running and I press it, I can set the timer. After a few seconds without input the timer starts. If I press it again I can (re) set the value. If I press it twice in a few seconds it clears the timer. Is there a design reason you have chosen to "hide" the timer on your precision cooker so it requires all the "pressing and holding"?
On a related note, I will be developing software for the unit and would love it if you folks published an official description of the protocol (yes, I know a member of your community reverse engineered it). -Thx
@adnewman The focus is much more on the temperature that the food is being cooked at as opposed to the time, which is why the timer function isn't as prominently featured. The timer isn't designed to be a standalone feature but more of a complement to the temperature.
Within the app, the timer's primary use corresponds with recipes but future builds should make the use of the timer more navigable overall.
We look forward to hearing more about the software you plan to develop as well and will keep in touch with you about it!
Even if the timer is not a main feature, why make it so complicated on purpose? It's not detrimental, so let the user decide. I find it particularly annoying that the temperature units change when first pressing play for 8 seconds (so it has to be changed back). It feels like you included the feature so people don't bug you about it, but purposefully try to make it so annoying that people won't use it (in which case, don't include it). Are there any plans to change this (as I will not be using it with the app)?
@eelgc First off, I'd like to apologize for causing you the trouble with the timer - I completely understand and will share this with the team.
I can assure you that the timer definitely wasn't implemented in its current form with the intent of frustrating users. Our customers are our number one concern and we would never design something to purposefully make things difficult. We added it as a feature and have received a lot of feedback on its implementation, all of which we are reading and discussing.
I'm so sorry again for the frustration we've caused you. We don't want to make your sous vide experience anything less than perfect. With future app builds, we'll be able to make the timer easier to use through your phone.
If you'd like to chat more about this, we'd love to hear from you. Please let me know - thank you!!
I would have to agree with the above noted comments. Seems downright silly to make a function MORE difficult when the entirety of the technology universe strives to enhance usability. Reorienting the cook's perspective to temperature over time is understandable in this context, but not at this cost.
I have to agree with everyone else I just don't follow the logic of making the timer button so difficult to use. i bought my mother who isnt all that young one and this time process is a real hassle for her, heck even for me. We are all adults we understand that the time isn't as critical but there is no need to basically prevent us from setting it manually. For some reason the timer doesn't always get set when i use the android phone app.
Wow! I'm typing this in JANUARY 2017 so this issue is over 2 years old! I just received my Anova and am trying to use it for the first time, and time is still an issue with this! What happened to the promise - 2 years ago - to make the timer function more user friendly? My brand new unit operates the same frustrating way as described above. Is Anova either that slow or just unresponsive to user preferences?
Hi @T_Shot! Welcome to community! Sorry the manual timer is not the easiest to set. We have found that the majority of our users like to set the time and temp from the app, as it is a more familiar interface. We taking feedback into account and working on making the timer easier to use manually, while also trying to make the interface too busy. Thanks for the feedback!
Sorry guys, but your reply to this last user's answer just doesn't cut it. You clearly got the message two years ago that one of the fundamental functions with your device is deeply flawed. Yet you've done nothing to fix it. I just got an Anova device as a gift - and have found that the very same app you've chosen to rely upon to solve all user needs is also deeply flawed. Just read the user reviews on the Apple App store and you'll see what I mean.
Here's what your community is demanding. If your company hopes to continue, something's got to change with your company's design and engineering team. Fix the app TODAY. Change the device's design. This is basic stuff for any contemporary digital company to pay attention to.
I want to reply here saying I am disappointed that setting the timer is not an easy task when I don't have my phone. And that people have been complaining for two years and you guys haven't done anything about it. The timer is a button, why can't we just press the timer button???
Just because most people have a phone doesn't mean everyone does. What if I lose my phone? What if my internet is down? Why are you forcing us to use the app? With recipes I know I just want to walk into the kitchen, turn the thing on, set the timer, leave.
So as the guy who started this thread (2 years ago), I remain disappointed that Anova doesn't regard this more seriously. Since I bought my Anova unit, the ChefSteps Joule has emerged as a credible competitor. The primary strength Anova has is that is can function without the need for a smart phone or tablet. Wouldn't it be great if Anova consolidated this strength by improving the phone-free usability of the timer?
A simple firmware change is all it would take. Just allow the user to press and hold the timer button and use the scroll wheel to set the time. Press the timer button once to start and again to cancel. (Or alternately press again to pause the timer and press-hold to cancel...doesn't really matter to me).
Hey all, I want to assure I am doing my best to pass this all on to the design team, your feedback is really important, and we are always trying to iterate to make things better, but changing the physical device takes a lot longer than changing our software, but I am communicating this all back to our team, so things can improve.
hi -- i just bought the Anova 800 bluetooth from amazon. i like it a lot. except for the manual interface on the screen of the device. several online reviews have mentioned this issue. also here, over the past year or so. we just need something inside the box, either in or with the little booklet -- or even on the front page of the website -- listing the steps to take to set timer, temp, and cook start. even the website of the videos would be helpful -- right there at the very beginning. the company has had ample time to make a little fix for this problem. even a single extra page with this beginners info thrown in the box as it leaves the warehouse. so easy! yet here we are -- including you -- still dealing with the same complaint. this is the kind of thing that makes people choose other devices. Like the joule, for example. just do it! at the very least put that video page at the very beginning of this website so it's accessible for people. i've been on the site for 3 days and just discovered those videos and the written instructions tonight. and i was on the verge of returning this device tomorrow. thanks. hope the company takes care of this asap.
We also received an Anova bluetooth unit as a gift. I'm appalled that such a basic device has an arcane method to set the timer. One reply above from Anova stated that most users prefer to use the software. How do you know that? The software isn't much better (I'm using iOS). Everytime I open it I get repeated error messages telling me to remove airplane mode -- which isn't turned on! These messages appear one after the other, between 3 and 5 times, then stop without me doing anything but saying OK to each message.
Back to the Timer -- we have a fifteen year old oven with a digital timer that requires two light presses to set and forget. It ain't hard folks. Fix it.
Hi. I also just got the bluetooth version. The software timer doesn't work either if you lose bluetooth connectivity with the device. Once I've lost it, I can reconnect but the timer does not restart or show where it currently is. I've tried it both by choosing a recipe on the app and setting both the temp and time manually from the app. It is inconceivable to me that at minimum 2 years after timer issues were first brought up this still is an issue. I've seen above that a response is that the time isn't as important as the temperature with the anova. Fair enough, but it would still be nice to know at what point the food you are making has finished cooking. Especially during the week when you want to eat sooner rather than later. I feel bad that I got this as a gift and a week later I wish I had gotten the joule instead. Is there a way you can see the time remaining or otherwise pick up the timer where you left off if you lose bluetooth connect? Is the timer you set with the app supposed to go off on the machine? Because in my experience neither happen.
I got my Anova Bluetooth as a Christmas gift, and just like the most recent contributors, I'm surprised by the problems with the timer; I have wasted a lot of time trying to find out how to get it started. I can set it on my Android phone, and I can follow the temperature both on the phone on the display, but I have found no way to make the timer start. The statement that most people don't use the timer anyhow is nonsense, especially as it looks as if it is available. I also agree that the quick cooking guide coming with this cooker should have been more detailed, it does show a picture of this unit with a letter C for setting the temperature, but nowhere how to do it. Neither is there any instruction about the timer function (or much else) in the User manual I found on the internet, and the manual I found was for the Wifi cooker, not for the Bluetooth version.
Hi Everyone, just wanted to give a quick update. The issues with the timer manually and on the device have been noted and are currently in the process of being updated. Unfortunately we cannot update the manual version on the current models. But we are devising solutions for it in the future. We take your feedback very seriously and are working to integrate all your great suggestions!
I just used my WiFi Anova for the first time this evening and had a variety of issues in regards to the the timer. I set the unit with the Anova app for a cook time of 1hr. 30min into the cook I get the low water level notification on my phone. Once I top it off, I have to restart the whole scenario and lose the timer in the process. Since I don't know where it stopped at, I'm screwed for this cook session. How difficult is it to resolve simple timer issues? Are scenarios like this above ever tested prior to production?Once I restarted everything, the temp indicator was stuck on 32F even though the water was at 183F. All in all not impressed at all. I'll try it once more and then if it doesn't work, it goes back to the store. Tom
