Roger Waters' new 'Wall' tour
Roger Waters has kept up a steady performing schedule, and he's just announced that he will launch a big spectacle with a 30th anniversary tour for Pink Floyd's "The Wall" this fall (it will reach San Jose's HP Pavilion on Dec. 6).
He'll be performing "The Wall" in its entirety, but fans won't be hearing any new music from Waters - he hasn't put out an album in almost two decades.
That's not because of a lack of creativity, Waters insists.
"I have a ton of songs," he said in a recent interview. "Some of them are recorded, and some of them are half recorded, and I keep promising myself that I'm going to find a collaborator and work on them and put them together in some kind of coherent form. I suspect I will do that some time in the near future. But it's strange how time keeps clicking away. And each page turns faster than the last, in my experience."
Whether Waters, 66, puts out an album remains to be seen, but he has plenty of other things to occupy his time. He recently spoke about "The Wall," politics and more.
Q:There had been talk about bringing "The Wall" to Broadway. Is that still going to happen?
A: That's still very much in the cards. I have been working on and off for the last year or so with an English writer named Lee Hall, who has become greatly celebrated over here and in London because he wrote "Billy Elliot," which is one of the most successful musicals out there at the moment. ... Lee's become a close friend of mine, and I'm touching wood, but we think we've finally found a director that we want to work with, so that's another project that's in the pipeline. We're on the fourth or fifth version of the book and trying to write some laughs into it. My one disappointment with the original rock 'n' roll show that we did, and to some extent with the movie as well, there just weren't many laughs in it. ... Humor is a very important part of my life, so part of the reason for wanting to do a production on Broadway is to express the funny side of the characters.
Q:Green Day's "American Idiot" - which premiered at Berkeley Rep - is in the vein of "The Wall." Do you plan to check out the Broadway play version?
A: It would be remiss of me not to check it out. I don't know the work very well. I am not a very good audience. ... My taste in music is very broad, but it's not very much popular music that I listen to. But when I got this invitation, I did check out some bits of Green Day and, you know, there are some very strong melodies in there.
Q:What were your inspirations for "The Wall"?
A: My early manhood was troubled by all kinds of feelings of inferiority and inconsequence. I was that guy at parties who dressed only in black and stood in the corner and scowled at people. Very often those attempts by the young to be cool are just because they're absolutely scared. I certainly was. The writing of "The Wall" was part of a process that I used to free myself from some of those neuroses and some of those fears. Fear is a very pernicious element in many of our lives. ... (It) is in lots of ways similar to the fear that is engendered in nations and ideologies. ... We build up these defenses and the fear that we establish about others - anybody who's not us.
Q:What is your impression of the political divide in the United States?
A: The United States is very insular and parochial and resists the idea of seeing yourselves the way others see you, the way you're seen in Europe, and the resistance is enormous, I think, to taking a straightforward look at this stuff. ... Obviously, many, many American citizens are aware of these problems in society and how deeply important they are. ... I remember my mother, who traveled here before the Second World War, used to say to me, "Americans are so friendly, and so generous." But she also said, "And so naive." I think there's a huge well of wanting to do good and wanting to help, but it is subverted by the power of commerce.
Q:It's always asked of you, so we will ask it again; any chance of another Pink Floyd reunion?
A: David (Gilmour) is completely disinterested in anything like that. After Live 8, I could have probably gone for doing some more stuff, but he's not interested, so it is what it is. {sbox}

|"The King" Elvis Presley
'Don't you think that if happiness was to be our most gratifying accomplishment while here on earth that God would have made mention of that is His Word? But then again almost everything that God thinks is important is counter-cultural.
God seems to think that loving Him with all of our body, mind, soul, spirit and strength and loving our neighbor as ourselves trumps happiness. The Fruit of the Spirit found in Galatians, chapter five, verses 22-23 is faithfulness, goodness, gentleness, joy, kindness, love, patience, peace, self-control. Happiness did not make the top ten.
Wouldn't it stand to reason that if anyone who has inhabited this earth deserves to be happy it would have been Jesus? Yet, He seemed to derive pleasure from giving to people and doing for people. Talk about prosperity – Satan offered Jesus "…all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor, if only Jesus would worship him. That seems like a small price to pay for such prosperity and position. Jesus response was "For it is written: 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.'" Even Satan didn't offer happiness as one of the highest values.
How ironic is it that happiness is one of the carrots that Satan offers to us today. Many of us believe we are entitled to happiness.
So what's the point? How many couples are struggling in their marriage because one or both of the partners is not happy? How often are sex and/or money a contributor to unhappiness? Affairs, pornography, highly erotic novels, and flirtatious chat rooms have theoretically paved the way to pleasure and happiness. Ask the one who is sexually addicted how fulfilled they are feeling? Ask the spouse who has been cheated on how happy he/she is?
Few arguments occur over having too much money. "Dear please stop bringing home so much money, I just can't spend it all fast enough." If that is your problem I'll give you my bank routing and account numbers.
As goofy as it sounds, perhaps giving to others and doing for others might bring joy and happiness to you. Maybe if we sought to be filled with the Fruit of the Spirit we could find fulfillment in our marriages and in our work.

How to Be a BlogHer Ghost
I went to BlogHer and had a great time! I know there are mixed rumblings about this year but I thought it was great. People talked about sessions! Made friends! No one hit me in the face with a giant swag tote bag! I went with no plans, no agenda and no cohort of blog friends. And guess what? I made friends and hung out with people. It's like I was body snatched.
The hardest part for me was the selfiebration theme. I am not much of a selfie taker and a ton of the expo booths required selfies for bonus entries or extra swag. I should have just taken foot pictures or something. Whatever. I don't really need a year supply of vitamins. I thought I only took photos of cupcakes and a bloody mary and then I looked at my instagram and realized I also took a photo of cocktails. And one of my feet with swag because blogger.
This year the conference did show its age a tiny bit, but really that is fitting given the 10 year anniversary that this years conference celebrated. BlogHer featured a series of talks before the keynotes, a roster of speakers chosen to highlight the history of blogging as filtered through the lens of BlogHer. An interesting corollary through most of the speakers is that the BlogHer conference served as an outlet and a springboard for them to move on. I think that is key – they have moved on.
{I stopped here Sunday night and here it is Tuesday and I have completely lost my train of thought.}
You know what I think is weird about blogging conferences? They cycle through the same speakers. Mom 2.0, BlogHer. BlissDom (RIP), TypeA, I bet there are multiple speakers that spoke at who have spoken at all of them or most of them in the last three years. Ok, I checked and maybe it isn't as bad as it feels like. Only 10 overlap between Mom2.0 2014 and BlogHer 2014, but I wish I had the time to dig through the data. I don't know. The combination between so much reflection on the past and so many speaker repeats, there wasn't a ton of stuff that felt fresh.
That said, I love, love loved the Voices of the Year this year. The standing ovations were well deserved. I laughed until I cried. I only played games on my phone during one! The Opening Keynote with the Bloggess was hilarious. The sessions were… serviceable. Geared towards new bloggers, as per usual, which is fine, but I am not one and grow bored easily. I feel like some of the speakers are experts in speaking at blog conferences and will speak on whatever for the free ticket and the resume padding even if, perhaps, it isn't their area of expertise.
BlogHer did an excellent job cracking down on private parties this year, but didn't beef up the conference parties to fill the void. The "late night" Friday parties (8-11 rock on) were mostly sponsored suite parties. I didn't realize that was so literal. Crowded hotel rooms and I don't get along. I start panicking and freaking out about fire codes and egress to the exits and they are hot and sweaty and horrible. Plus there were no conference drink tickets, yet some people had drink tickets and I heard one party had an open bar, but I got charged. A lot. For a warmish beer. Weird. I still don't exactly know what was the deal. I missed the closing party which was from all accounts was pretty epic, so maybe all of the resources were funneled in to that one.
I keep seeing complaints that the swag wasn't very good. Now, I didn't go either year that seems to be the peak of the swagness (Chicago 09 and NYC 2010), but the years I have gone, the better swag seems to be from the private parties, which were cracked down on this year so of course the swag wasn't as good. I don't really remember the expo being amazing. Still water bottles and full bottles of vitamins, just like this year. Plus, this year the Chuck E Cheese booth had board games which is awesome.
All and all, I am happy that I went. It was relaxing going without an agenda and tons of plans. It gave me the ability to find a partner in crime for a few hours or for one event at a time. I spent little to no time arranging plans, arranging plans to have them canceled, sending where are you texts or waiting for people to show up. Also, for the first time ever, no one walked away from me mid-sentence when they saw someone else across the room.
The flipside to that is drifting through the conference like a ghost. I exist in no group photos, left no trail of drunk-happy selfies, did very little hugging or squeeing. I never felt excluded or shut down. I never ate alone (after the conference started) and I never felt alone. BlogHer is ultimately about community and I really felt that this year.
I went with free writing for this post. Who says personal blogging is dead? NOT ME. Why proofread when you can go drink a beer instead. You can tell from the post title that this recap did not go as planned. Leaving it.

Review of OmHarmonics Binaural Beats by Meditation Teacher Mackenzie Milne
Mackenzie Milne is a Meditation Teacher in Austin, Texas who recently began to use OmHarmonics to support her meditation practice. The following is a review she wrote about her experience:
"I can't express how thankful I am for OmHarmonics! Unlike other programs which I found hard to incorporate into my life, it was simple to learn how to use OmHarmonics and the results were immediate for me. I have been using OmHarmonics for a week now and I already feel more centered, calm and grounded and words can't describe how thankful I am for the support from Vishen and everyone else at Mindvalley.
As one who has been meditating daily for over 5 years, my meditation practice is incredibly important to me. On days when I meditate I can focus more, I am more patient with my family and my coworkers and I tend to eat less.
However, recently I have been having trouble finding a quiet place to sit and meditate each day. I used to live by myself and I had a set schedule which included waking up at 6:30am each morning to light incense and sit on my meditation cushion for 60 minutes. I now I live in a house with three friends and I have an irregular work schedule. I am a Meditation Teacher, an Artist and a Barista and my schedule changes every day of the week. Unlike the silent space which was my old house, there are often people talking, a dog barking, or music playing no matter where I am which makes it harder for me to focus while I meditate. Furthermore, I have become inclined to make excuses to put meditation aside until later or, even worse, until tomorrow. OmHarmonics has changed this for me because I can simply put my headphones on wherever I am and let the calming Binaural Beats do their work to help me align with my higher being.
OmHarmonics has also simplified my life because I can now meditate wherever I am by tuning into OmHarmonics with my headphones on. I downloaded one of the OmHarmonics tracks on my iPhone so I can now go to a park close to where I work and listen to the familiar OmHarmonics audio track while I meditate. With the OmHarmonics track on my iPhone I have found that I spend less time thinking about where and when I am going to meditate each day (a stress that was filling a lot of my day).
I am so thankful for OmHarmonics in the way that it has brought confidence back to my meditation practice. It feels amazing knowing that I will be able to focus while I meditate. Listening to the Binaural Beats allows my body to relax in a way that I have not been able to with my own silent meditation practice recently. Beyond this, I also feel confident knowing I am supported by a community who believes in my success, which has been a priceless gift to me."

"At what point does a snapshot become journalism? And when does journalism become art, timeless and compelling rather than simply fleeting and informative?
These are the nagging, knotty questions that have confounded photographers, journalists, writers, historians, artists and others of that ilk since photography came along about 165 years ago.
It concerns us here because two men with Fort Wayne roots – brothers David and Peter Turnley – have presented us with this quandary in full with their new book of old photographs. And we, those of us in Fort Wayne, are forced to wrestle with these questions in a way that we would not had the brothers taken their pictures in Rome or Paris or even Cleveland or Chicago."

This is a pretty simple activity, really, but excellent for any story or reading that contains a large amount of dialogue. It not only reviews the story, but offers many precious repetitions of the non-third-person verb forms that we see in dialogue.
Simply put, you give students quotes from a story or text and ask them which character said it: mind-boggling, I know!
Here are a few ideas for how to give quotes and receive answers (and here are the forms referenced Quién lo dijo in both Spanish and without text):
- Project the quotes on the board and have students tell you who said what (orally, by holding up pre-made cards with character's names on them, writing the answer on small white boards, walking to an assigned corner of the room that corresponds with a given character, etc.)
- Post the quotes around the room using the big, single-page forms (write the question number on the blank), or you could just write out the quotes. No need to be fancy!
- Write out quotes using the small bubbles, six-per-page bubbles, and pass out one to each students–duplicates are okay!! Students read the quote to their classmates, and classmates write down the quote number and who said it on a separate sheet of paper.
- Read the quotes aloud, and have students respond to you using one of the methods listed in #1.
- Using the same form from #3, tape quotes on students' backs and have classmates walk around the room and write down answers. Same as #3, but this is a SILENT way to play for those days that you need a few moments of quiet!
- Make it a true/false activity by prefacing each quote with "So-and-so said, "…."". This way, you get in reps of the word "said", as well. Students can respond in any of the manners listed in #1.
You could add a second layer to the activity by requiring students to also identify to whom the quote was said.

If Apple truly stumped up for Tesla that would make two companies that are complete novices at auto manufacturing. It would be the Apple Lisa of the auto world.
Worse for Apple it would signal that the world's largest company is completely out of creative ideas and its existing product line up was truly approaching stall speed. It already is but and the lack of transparency only adds to doubts.
Rumours circulated that Apple considered a $240/share purchase back in 2013. 6 years ago Tesla was full of hope. Now the stock is full of hype. It has been a litany of disasters from fatal crashes, production hell all the way to complete wishful thinking on Level 5 autonomous driving which Israeli company Mobileye, a leader in the field, believes is decades off.
Let's assume a $240 per share deal was done. Apple would pay around $40bn and assume another $12bn or so in debt.
The most dangerous strategy for highly successful companies is to throw spaghetti at a wall and hope some sticks. Tesla is by no means an overnight repair job. It needs the skills of Toyota to turn it around. Don't forget Apple has no manufacturing expertise as its products are all built by 3rd parties. Toyota rescued Porsche several decades back and Lockheed Martin called in the production efficiency king to help build the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter better.
It reminds CM of the time Hoya bought Pentax back in 2007. Such was the earnings dilution against the incumbent high margin business, hunting for growth sent Hoya shares down 50% soon after the deal. Hoya was completely dominant in glass photomasks. Yet the $1bn merger of a 2'd tier camera/optics maker was thought of by the founder's grandson as a total failure and divested many divisions.
Losses continue to mount at Tesla, senior management departures are a revolving door and demand is slowing. The recent cap raise sees investors well under water. The Maxwell Tech deal looks a dud for the management to accept an all share rather than an all share deal (if the tech is so leading edge).
If Apple truly wanted a car deal, it could buy an established maker like Fiat Chrysler with decades of production expertise and global reach for half the price. Not to mention a wide choice of vehicle styles to broaden the appeal to customers.
Although the history of car mergers, even between industry players, has led to some pretty disastrous outcomes. Daimler overpaid for Chrysler so badly that its shares cratered 80%. BMW bought Rover from Honda. Fail. Even Land Rover had to be sold by the Bavarians. Ford ended up selling most of its Premier Automotive Group stable – Aston, Lincoln, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo. Just Lincoln remains.
Tech companies meddling in the automobile sector reveals a graveyard of sad stories. Korean analysts jumped for joy when Bosch sold out its stake in the Li-ion batteries JV SB Li-motive. How could a Korean tech company proclaim to have a better read on the global auto industry than Bosch, a supplier to the major auto makers for over 100 years? Panasonic is already kicking itself hrs over the Tesla deal and management is highly unimpressed with Musk after his disparaging remarks made about production.
Have investors ever wondered why Tesla has no mainstream suppliers? Many are obscure parts companies from Taiwan. More established auto suppliers have been burnt by experiments before and they'll only sign up for makers who have much better prospects and track records.
If anyone thinks Apple buying Tesla makes sense they need their heads read. The last 6 years have detracted value. Pre-pubescent fund managers who have never seen a cycle might see the value of millennial nirvana but the damage to Apple would be considerable. Just because Apple has been so successful doesn't mean it won't make mistakes. Tesla would be a disaster. It is in the product creativity blackhole of following the path of Hoya. It would be better to flutter at a casino.

SALT LAKE CITY — Doctors upgraded the condition of separated conjoined 4-year-old twins Sunday to serious but stable.
Don't miss these Health stories
More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.
- Larry Page's damaged vocal cords: Treatment comes with trade-offs
- Report questioning salt guidelines riles heart experts
- CDC: 2012 was deadliest year for West Nile in US
- What stresses moms most? Themselves, survey says
- More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Kendra and Maliyah Herrin, who were born fused at the mid-torso, had been in critical condition since their separation in a 26-hour surgery that ended Aug. 8 at Primary Children's Medical Center. They were removed from ventilators Saturday.
Doctors waited to upgrade the twins' condition until the girls spent 24 hours breathing on their own, hospital spokeswoman Laura Winder said.
"They've made it 24 hours now, so the odds that they'd need to go back on ventilators is less," she said.
The girls remain on heavy pain medication in the pediatric intensive care unit. Winder said they have opened their eyes, but it's unclear how aware they are.
Before the surgery, the North Salt Lake girls shared a liver, kidney, bladders, a single pelvis and two legs, one controlled by each girl.
A team of six surgeons separated their bodies, liver and bladder, and reconstructed their divided pelvis. Each girl kept one leg and Kendra kept the kidney, which was in her body.
Maliyah is on dialysis and is expected to get a kidney donated by her mother.

text: Powershell, Panchromatic Edition, Continued! 7. March 2014 Ryan Powershell , Programming Comments (1) That is a weird title. Anyway, this post is a continuation to my last post, here, in which I used Powershell to create a bitmap that contained each and every RGB color (24-bit, ~16.7 million colors) exactly once. We learned that using dynamic arrays and the += operator are often not a good choice when working with large amounts of data that you'd like to see processed before your grandchildren graduate high school. Today we look at another performance pitfall.So last time, I printed a 4096x4096 bitmap containing 16777216 colors. But the pixels were printed out in a very uniform, boring manner. I wanted to at least see if I could randomize the pixels a little bit to make the image more interesting. First, I attempted to do that like this: Function Shuffle([System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection[System.Drawing.Color]]$List) { $NewList = New-Object 'System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection[System.Drawing.Color]' While ($List.Count -GT 0) { [Int]$RandomIndex = Get-Random -Minimum 0 -Maximum $List.Count $NewList.Add($List[$RandomIndex]) $List.RemoveAt($RandomIndex) Write-Progress -Activity "Randomizing Pixels..." -Status "$($NewList.Count) of 16777216" } Return $NewList } Seems pretty solid, right? I intend to shuffle or randomize the neatly ordered list of pixels that I've generated. So I pass that neatly ordered list to a Shuffle function. The Shuffle function randomly plucks an element out of the original list one at a time, inserts it into a new "shuffled" list, then removes the original element from the old list so that it is not reused. Finally, it returns the new shuffled list.Yeah... so that runs at about 12 pixels per second.So instead of waiting 16 days for that complete, (16.7 million elements at 12 per second...) I decided that I had to come up with a better solution. I thought on it, and I almost resorted to writing a pure C# type and adding that to my script using Add-Type, but then I decided that would be "cheating" since I wanted to write this in Powershell as best I could.Then it suddenly hit me: maybe I was thinking about it this way too hard. Let's try something crazy: Write-Progress -Activity "Randomizing Pixels" -Status "Please wait..." $RandomPixelList = $AllRGBCombinations | Get-Random -Count $AllRGBCombinations.Count Done in about two minutes, which beats the hell out of 16 days. What we have now is a "randomized" list of pixels. Let's paint them and see how it looks:A slice at 1x magnification:A slice at 6x magnification:I call it the "Cosmic Microwave Background."You'll likely see a third installment in this series as I work some interesting algorithm into the mix so that the image is more interesting than just a random spray of pixels. Until then... Tags:

Once again, I'm partnering with the venerable Zinfandel Advocates and Producers (ZAP) to get tickets to the next ZAP festival into your hands (for free)!
In what will be one of the biggest giveaways ever conducted on 1WD, TWO lucky randomly-chosen readers will each receive four event tickets for some of the ZAP 2012 shindigs in San Francisco (by way of two tickets to two separate ZAP events), meaning that you and new or existing BFF can experience some of ZAP together for twice the vinous fun.
Here's the deal – each of the two lucky winners in this giveaway will receive the following booty:
- TWO tickets to the wildly-popular EPICURIA Food & Zin Pairings event on Thursday, January 26 (6pm-9pm – a $250 value)
- TWO tickets to the Grand Tasting event on Saturday, January 28 (2pm-5pm – a $118 value).
You must be 21 or older (and so will your BFF!), and the giveaway covers tickets only (no travel, lodging, massages…). As I'm not (yet?) independently wealthy, rather than transport winners personally from any destination in the world to San Fran. via my sparkling clean white yacht staffed by Swedish swimsuit models, the winning peeps are totally on their own for any travel/expenses. Also, the giveaway is open to U.S. readers only (sorry again, loyal Estonian readers!). As always, if you win, you're responsible for any taxes, personal expenses, whatnots, etc.
In last year's giveaway, we generated a ton of great Zinfandel recommendations in the comments. For this year's giveaway, I thought that we'd do something a little… different… YOU are also going to determine what Zins I review next on 1WineDude.com!…

Yesterday, the Food and Drug Administration approved Sanofi (NYSE: SNY) and Isis Pharmaceuticals' (NASDAQ: ISIS) Kynamro for treating homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, or HoFH, a genetic disorder that results in dangerously high cholesterol levels.
In and of itself, the approval is a relatively minor event for both companies. At one point, it looked like Kynamro was going to be a wonder drug, lowering cholesterol for anyone that couldn't control their cholesterol with Pfizer's (NYSE: PFE) Lipitor or Merck's (NYSE: MRK) Vytorin. But side effects have limited its potential use. The drug will had a fairly extensive Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy plan that will have to be followed by doctors to watch for liver toxicity, and the FDA is requiring the companies to run four post-marketing studies on the drug. Sanofi and Isis are testing the drug in less severe patients that only have one inherited mutation instead of two -- heterozygous vs. homozygous -- but even with positive efficacy data, the safety problems might hamper an expansion.
Even among HoFH patients Sanofi and Isis are going to have a hard time capturing market share. Aegerion Pharmaceuticals' (NASDAQ: AEGR) recently got Juxtapid approved for the same patient population. The FDA advisory committee was more impressed with Juxtapid than it was with Kynamro, suggesting that a vast majority of doctors will follow suit. Of course, Sanofi has a little more marketing muscle than Aegerion, so don't expect Kynamro to go down without a fight.
Regardless of how Kynamro does, the approval is big news, because it marks the first approval of a next-generation antisense drug. Isis got Vitravene approved with partner Novartis many years ago, but new HIV medications quickly swamped out sales. Behind Kynamro, Isis has more than 20 antisense drugs in the clinic.
Will they all work? Probably not, but the approval of Kynamro should give investors confidence in the mechanism of action -- antisense drugs bind to specific mRNAs, promoting their degradation and preventing synthesis of the protein they code for -- and that Isis has the wherewithal to get a drug approved.

If you were pregnant and enjoying a delicious meal — strike that, you don't even need to be pregnant in this scenario — and a stranger decided to tell you what's wrong with it, how would you respond? Anger? Shock? A blue streak of swearing? Silent shame? Should this ever happen to you, look to blogger Laura Mazza for witty inspiration instead.
Melbourne, Australia-based Mazza, who writes the blog the Mum on the Run, is pregnant with her third child and was indulging in a meal on her own at KFC, when two men began talking nearby. In a Facebook post earlier this week (that was first brought to our attention by the Stir), she wrote a diary entry from the perspective of one of them, imagining why a man would be compelled to give unsolicited dieting advice.
"We made sure we didn't get out of gym clothes because we needed people to know that we are fitness freaks," she wrote in the tongue-in-cheek post. While eating and chatting with his friend about which girls at the gym they'd have sex with, the man noticed Mazza.
"I see this girl enjoying her lunch and she's clearly unfit and I dunno why; maybe it's the fact that the brains went from my head down to my small steroided penis, but I feel I need to tell her that what she is doing is wrong," Mazza wrote.
Ignoring his own hypocrisy, the man asked her if she knew how bad KFC was for her and went so far as to offer his personal training services to "stop her from jiggling when she walks (yes, they were my EXACT words) and help her get fit and hot for summer to find a man."
Mazza couldn't believe the man was serious. "I kept taking a breath to say something, like, 'You're eating it too ya bats*** crazy man,' but he just kept on talking," she told Yahoo Lifestyle. "I think for some people they genuinely want to help others, because they've been through something and want others to have an easier journey. But for others, it's definitely from a place of ego and a little bit of narcissism."
With Herculean self-control, Mazza let the man finish his entire speech. As he spoke, she became entranced by his blinding white teeth and realized that was where his weakness was. Then she delivered her retaliating blow: "I'm sorry, I didn't hear anything you said because all I could think about was how much food you have stuck in your teeth while you were talking," she said.
This did its intended job and sent the man back to his own table.
How was she able to keep her cool like that? It might be because she has an outlet in her, which she began when she was pregnant with her second child and reflecting on how difficult she found motherhood so far.
"I'm quite sweary and I think, before blogging, I'd say, 'Go eff yourself,' " she told us about how she'd have reacted to her KFC mansplainer. "But now I think I analyze it a bit more, and I'm a lot kinder. Odd … I know."
As a blogger, Mazza recognizes that she too is often in a position to dole out wise words, just like her KFC friends attempted.
"I think my whole blog is about giving advice, and it's 'Don't take anyone's advice, and do you!'"

The spiritual and the material are polar opposites. What is great in the world is abominable to God. And often what is despised by worldly people is adored by God. Thus the world adores fame, pride, arrogance and power, whilst the spiritual rejoices in humility, meekness and service to others.
This brings me to women. It seems that many women feel that it is unfair that they have or had little power. Modern women seem to be more and more shunning traditional values of womenhood: of meekness, of humility, of being the least (in a worldly sense). Oh, but cannot they see what they are turning away from? These attributes, which they see as weakness and increasingly despise, are the highest spiritual gems one can hope to attain. Instead, women are seeking to emulate the lowest (in a spiritual sense) attributes of men: haughtness, pride, arrogance (thinking they know what is best, when only God knows this). They seek power, as if any human can have power over their lives and circumstances - all true power is, and remains with, God. What He wants to give you, you will get, what He wants to take away you will lose - you have no direct power over this.
I say direct power, because what God wants us to have most of all are His high spiritual qualities, in the greatest degree - He wants us to be as He is (remember: "be perfect as your Father in Heaven is perfect" be a "child of God" - where a child has the inherited attributes of the parent). He wants us to be able to bear the suffering and ignomious and selfish treatment of others without losing any trace of love in our hearts. He wants us to be capable of following His example on the cross, whereby He stated: "forgive them Father, for they know not what they do".
Thus the best way to ensure a lack of material want is to attain the spiritual gems as soon as possible, to perfect oneself, then - as a master or mistress of your passions and desires - there will be no further need for suffering. Not only that, but in pursuing the spiritual not only will you free yourself from feelings of insecurity, but also all fear and anxiety - as you come to accept and know, deep in yourself, that God is in control and that you can trust Him to look after you if you place your faith and trust in His hands! Of course, if you arrogantly feel that you can somehow control your circumstances on your own, by gaining more power, more wealth, more learning, more beauty (or whatever). If you wish to follow this worldly - and foolish path - then what choice does God have but to allow you to smash your own ship against the rocks in the storms of life? How could He allow you to persist in the deception that a mere, deluded, human has control over anything at all apart from their own free-will?
Thus what should women do? Well I believe that men and women are called to do exactly the same things. To be as humble as possible, to be as meek as possible, and above all to be as loving and selfless as possible - then everything else you need will be added (Matthew 6:33). Also (I believe) men and women should not see themselves as having to be the be-all and end-all in their individual selves. Men and women are supposed to join together to form a complete person in marriage ("they are no longer two but one" Matthew 19:4). Thus each has a role to play, and the woman should not feel her self lesser, because her part does not include some of this role.
Now some women may feel that the bible demeans and degrades women. Perhaps they call to mind notions such as the wife having to honour and obey the husband.? But I suspect that worldly standards and thinking are at play here. Let us look more closely at what the bible says:
"Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives" (Peter 3:1).
The wife is asked to teach and remind the husband of the spiritual - not so much by her words as by her example! Traditionally it has been men that have had to deal with most worldly situations - situations such of having earn the income, deal with worldly affairs (finding housing, property issues etc), and thus risk all the worldly temptations and the effects of these such as greed, power hunger and all the other worldly cares that distract from God. Given this situation of men, from Peter (3:1) above, it appears that women's role was to be their guiding light, their "angels" on earth! The women's role is in fact the most important! Reminding men of the heavenly qualities of God, and the beauty of meekness, humility and a lack of hunger for power over others. To think this is demeaning is a grave error because, as already mentioned, what the world sees as the least, is in fact - in this case - representing the highest!
So what a terrible situation we are in today, when everyone - both women and men - have joined into the worldly fray. Seeking power, status, control (or rather the illusion of such), where selfishness abounds and love for others, and love for the glorious attributes of God, has faded, and in fact, are despised and scorned by the majority.
And we see that men's (and women's) illusions of power and control are resulting in exactly the opposite - chaos - terrorism, excesses of greed, destruction of the natural world, low self-esteem and self-harm and, in general, utter misery for everyone. For when the whole of humanity feels it has the wisdom of God; feels that it knows what is right and true; feels that it can control its own destiny and circumstances - what choice does God have but to allow our collective ship of deception to get shipwrecked in the worldly storms that stem from our own arrogance, pride and selfishness? It seems that all God can do is what women were once called to do: to stand by and obey (allow) the unruly will and behaviour of the man (all of us) and hope that by holding up the candle of meekness, humility and love, one day humanity will eventually - according to the words of Peter: be won over without words by the behavior of their wives - in this case by God himself, in place of the now lost and deluded wives who were supposed to reflect His glorious image into the worldly lives of mankind.
Ephesians 5 Wives and Husbands:
"Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband."
PS: Meekness is not the same as weakness and to be meek does not mean timid. God is meek to the highest degree, but He is by no means weak or timid. Consider also, what is the alternative to meekness? To fume and rage?
One final word, you cannot judge some one else's heart - only God can do that. Thus someone who seems meek outwardly might in fact be fuming mad inwardly, similarly someone who seems to be outspoken may in fact be meek in their heart.

In my dresser, I have a makeup drawer that I pull out to get ready every morning. In my brows section, I have my brow pencil, a brow gel and a matte ivory eyeshadow to clean up under my brows and highlight. When I came across the Maybelline Brow Perfecting Highlighter ($9.96 CAD) at the drugstore, it immediately caught my attention because it serves the exact purpose of my matte eye shadows! I thought I was the only one that keeps a matte colour to highlight my brow bone (as many use concealer, which I find it looks a bit heavy and almost too perfect on me or a shimmery shade or nothing at all).
I believe this product comes in one shade, 300 Light. The texture is nice because its stiff enough to last the whole day but creamy enough to blend underneath my brow. The colour is opaque enough to leave a clear highlight but again, blends well enough into the skin to not stand out too much. Also, I love the shape of this product as fits perfectly under my brow to create a sharp and precise highlight.
Although this gives me the same effect as my matte eyeshadows do, the fact that Maybelline sought out a unique product that serves a real consumer need and actually works, its Beauty swatched approved!

Ibanez Advantage™ bridge pins
These pins really are an advantage over old-fashioned pins. Advantage™ pins are easier to take out and easier to put in than standard pins. A special bulb-shaped end makes the pin easy to grip and also prevents the pin from being pushed in too far. Best of all, with Advantage™, the pin and string stay put.
Simplified Graph Comparing Thermo Aged™ to Non-Thermo Aged Guitars
The Thermo Aged™ process makes the sound louder across the entire frequency range, especially the bass and treble areas. (The base line in the graph represents the sound character of Non-Thermo Aged guitar). Having a Thermo Aged™ solid back brings further enhancement to the sound along with the Thermo Aged™ solid top; even more bass, even more treble, and plenty of punch.

When I'm Cleaning WindowsPublished on 7th January 2017
With his borderline-lewd lyrics and cheeky chappy grin, George Formby gave window cleaning real appeal, but even he would have to admit that the nagging arm ache and irritating streaky finish can get the best of us down from time to time.
Orangeries, conservatories, Aprofold doors and atriums; whichever way you look at it, Apropos products do have a lot of glass on show, which can be daunting to anyone not a fan of squeegees. Don't let that put you off though; all parts of the home need routine maintenance, and with a glass extension you just need to know how best to go about it.
To start with, if streaky, grubby windows are a real bugbear for you, you could always form your Apropos extension from self-cleaning glass. We would always recommend Pilkington Activ Clear for use in the roof panes of any construction – it just makes sense – but it can also make a real difference to the maintenance of taller structures.
Window cleaning aside, being made from polyester powder coated aluminium, Apropos glass structures need far less maintenance than their wooden and UPVC counterparts. While wooden frames will need to be treated annually to prevent rot, and UPVC is prone to weather and material warping, aluminium frames can last indefinitely. To keep them looking their best you need simply wash them down with warm soapy water whenever the grime builds up – nothing natural can ever harm them.
Cosmetics done, the best way to ensure that you and Apropos construction have a long and happy life together is to stick to a programme of regular maintenance – a little and often is a good rule of thumb.
- Gutters should be kept clear to prevent blockages, unsightly overrun and fire risk.
- Natural ventilation can help prevent condensation and thus reduce the frequency with which you'll need to clean internal glass.
- Always use a soft, clean lint-free cloth or chamois leather when cleaning your glass to prevent any scratches or damage to the coating.
- Locks, handles and hinges should be lubricated to prevent sticking and any build-up of grime.
By scheduling regular upkeep you will save yourself time and money in the long run and help to ensure that your Apropos glass extension will last as long as you do!
If you'd like to discuss any apropos design with us get in touch today or request a design consultation with your local expert.Return to Blog

With all the tempting French River area outdoor summer events going on all the time, it can be tough deciding what to do on a summer weekend, especially if you're like me and want to do it all. How to choose between the plethora of activities and events happening in the area and our usual backcountry trip?
Well, there's a reason hiking and camping is our usual choice, but this year we managed to find a compromise.
We were lucky. We'd learned that Dokis First Nation's Papase Trail has a campsite, so we'd already changed our plans to go out for a day hike, opting instead for a hike-in camping excursion.
So when we remembered that the Dokis First Nation Thirteenth Annual Powwow was taking place at the same time, we heard opportunity knocking.
And that's not all the outdoor summer cultural events we've got lined up this year. French River's always a-buzz with this type of thing. For us, there will be two more powwows, a music festival and softball tournament at Dokis, and potentially, an educational paddle trip, again at Dokis. We might just have to rent a cabin out there for the summer! (winky face).
Dokis First Nation Powwow
And so it came that I actually wore a dress on Canada Day weekend. I knew it wasn't necessary, but I felt more comfortable following the tradition that would connect me to Mother Earth. For women, who get their strength from the Earth Mother, wearing a long skirt strengthens that connection. We got to the powwow grounds a little early and were very soon greeted and welcomed.
Though it threatened rain, the afternoon was lovely, spent watching the dancers and listening to the drummers and singers while admiring the colourful regalia decorated with intricate beadwork, feathers, and furs. We wandered among the vendors and bought some Idle No More stickers, then we each ate a huge plate of venison tacos served on homemade scones and topped with diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and lettuce. Oh, yum!
Festival of Peoples
We already know of a few other weekends this summer when we'll be choosing to mix and mingle instead of roughing it in the bush. This weekend, the French River Visitor Centre First Nation and Aboriginal Peoples Advisory Committee will host the Seventh Annual Festival of Peoples, this year themed Acknowledging the Languages — Talking Rocks of the French River. We're particularly looking forward to Friday's presentations, Visiting the Lost Languages of the Pictographs and History of the Unique Metchif Language. A powwow will be held on Saturday.
Dates and Times
- Friday, July 5, 1 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
- Saturday, July 6, 12:30 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Visit the 7th Annual Festival of Peoples event page on Facebook.
Dokis Summerfest
July will be a busy month, with the Dokis Summerfest stirring up excitement. It's bound to be a blast, with a softball tournament, a fish fry, and amazing musical acts lined up, including Nathalie Restoule and Whisky Water. The best part is, admission to this licensed outdoor event is free! We'll be volunteering a few hours at the bar on the Saturday, so come say hi!
- Friday, July 19
- Saturday, July 20
Visit the Second Annual Dokis Summerfest event page on Facebook.
Paddling For Our Water
August will be no less hectic. Dokis First Nation will also be hosting Paddling For Our Waters, a two-day canoe trip around Dokis Island on the French River, including a community feast and fish fry and a one-day workshop on protecting the waterway. The date has tentatively been scheduled for the weekend of August 10, though it looks like that may change. Updates will be posted online.
Visit the Paddling For Our Waters event page on Facebook.
French River Métis Tribe Rendez-vous
We're happy to return to the French River Métis Tribe's Rendez-vous at Joe Chartrand Park in Noëlville — we had so much fun last year! A member of the Tribe, Marc had assisted his father as firekeeper, helped during the Smudging Ceremony, and participated in the Grand Entry as bearer of the Warrior Flag. I spent a few hours volunteering at the front counter in the kitchen, taking and serving orders. We'll definitely be doing it all again this year! Now that I've seen the potato dance, I'm joining in this time (winky face).
- Saturday, August 24

Signed Richard Nixon, Kennedy, and Smathers Documents
My father was born and raised in Indiana but moved to Miami when he was about 12 years old. Grew up in Miami. Two of his best friends when he was growing up here, that he went to high school with, were George Smathers, who was the junior senator from Florida for three terms, and Bebe Rebozo, who eventually became Richard Nixon's best friend.
Let's talk about this letter first. This is a letter from Richard Nixon addressed to your dad.
And Nixon spent an inordinate amount of time here in Florida. Key Biscayne was often called the Florida White House.
And Rebozo was one of his best friends for over 40 years. The Nixon market for signatures, as you can imagine, is not very strong.
He has such notoriety within his term that people don't want to say they actually collect Nixon. But what I love about this letter that was written in 1975 is it's so genuine. It says here, "You were especially generous and kind in your remarks about me. This took a lot of guts on your part because, of course, the more popular line these days is to point up everything that is wrong during the years I was in office and ignore everything that was right." Just a lovely passage, and shows a part of Nixon that people don't often see.
He really was very personable and cared deeply about the people around him.
And then you have a menu here. Tell me a little bit about why you have this.
This is a menu from Don Julio's Restaurant, which used to be on Northwest 36th Street in Miami. They featured Cuban cuisine, which was Nixon's favorite. And one evening, my father went to dinner with Richard Nixon and Bebe Rebozo, and so my father asked Nixon to autograph a menu, and at the bottom it says, "To David, best wishes from Richard Nixon."
And then on top of it, we have this pamphlet, this brochure from the Florida Presidential Dinner. It was a fundraiser for the Democratic National Party. And the signatures are almost so sloppy, so you tell me who signed them.
This was a Democratic Party fundraiser in Florida in March of 1962. This signature right here is addressed to my dad-- "To Sloan, best from John Kennedy." And this one over here is "To David-- to me-- "Best wishes from George Smathers," who was the junior senator from Florida.
Well, that document is just a wonderful document. Kennedy and Smathers were lifelong friends. Smathers was in part of the wedding party...
Right, I knew that.
And it just is a wonderful document of two really terrific people and commemorates a lovely, lovely friendship. In terms of value, Nixon's signatures usually bring $50 or $100, but I would say in terms of this wonderful document, which has very personalized name and signature, it's the content that really speaks to us, and this would have a value of about, at auction, $1,200 to $1,800.
This signature, again a lovely signature, about $500.
In terms of the two signatures here, they definitely are original signatures. You know that because they were gotten in person. The signatures alone are valuable, but together on this document would be about $5,000 to $7,000.
Holy cow.
Thank you for illuminating the Florida White House for us.
Thank you very much.
In this small vignette.
Thank you. That's amazing. I'm totally flabbergasted.
Appraisal Details
Executive producer Marsha Bemko shares her tips for getting the most out of ANTIQUES ROADSHOW.
Value can change: The value of an item is dependent upon many things, including the condition of the object itself, trends in the market for that kind of object, and the location where the item will be sold. These are just some of the reasons why the answer to the question "What's it worth?" is so often "It depends."
Note the date: Take note of the date the appraisal was recorded. This information appears in the upper left corner of the page, with the label "Appraised On." Values change over time according to market forces, so the current value of the item could be higher, lower, or the same as when our expert first appraised it.
Context is key: Listen carefully. Most of our experts will give appraisal values in context. For example, you'll often hear them say what an item is worth "at auction," or "retail," or "for insurance purposes" (replacement value). Retail prices are different from wholesale prices. Often an auctioneer will talk about what she knows best: the auction market. A shop owner will usually talk about what he knows best: the retail price he'd place on the object in his shop. And though there are no hard and fast rules, an object's auction price can often be half its retail value; yet for other objects, an auction price could be higher than retail. As a rule, however, retail and insurance/replacement values are about the same.
Verbal approximations: The values given by the experts on ANTIQUES ROADSHOW are considered "verbal approximations of value." Technically, an "appraisal" is a legal document, generally for insurance purposes, written by a qualified expert and paid for by the owner of the item. An appraisal usually involves an extensive amount of research to establish authenticity, provenance, composition, method of construction, and other important attributes of a particular object.
Opinion of value: As with all appraisals, the verbal approximations of value given at ROADSHOW events are our experts' opinions formed from their knowledge of antiques and collectibles, market trends, and other factors. Although our valuations are based on research and experience, opinions can, and sometimes do, vary among experts.
Appraiser affiliations: Finally, the affiliation of the appraiser may have changed since the appraisal was recorded. To see current contact information for an appraiser in the ROADSHOW Archive, click on the link below the appraiser's picture. Our Appraiser Index also contains a complete list of active ROADSHOW appraisers and their contact details and biographies.

Chocolate Orea Cheesecake
We have been really busy again !!! Taking an opportunity to go back home visit in the late March. When we come back from holidays, my little one fall sick . We reckon the weather has an impact on her. Poor little one is learning to adapt the changes of season. I thought being a child, they will adapt easier than us. Apparently , again the same old saying every child is different, so we will not know until it happen . Just so we thought , she is recover from the humid issue , Brisbane seem to get cold and chilled the past week. Again , she fall sick =.= |||. This time round is more serious - throat infection. I have a koala baby basically cling on to me most of the time. Thank God , that only for 2 days. She is much better now. The past few days seeing how suffered she is, make my heart pierce into pieces. I manage to lose some weight from the concern. ( I reckon is a good thing, as I am still trying to shake off the fat in my belly after the birth) . Being a mom is not easy , I guess this is just the starting of all the interesting journey of us.
April is always a busy month for us. I have a few baking to make , as Mar and April seem to have more birthday than other one. I love to bake for those who are close to me. Is to show my love and care for them and to me is a good thing that some one remember your birthday and make something for you .
There is an elderly lady in my church , whom always help us to look after my girl when the nanny is not available or when we need an extra pair of hand. She is a very gentle, loving and demure lady. Her heart is very generous in giving and she always speak words of encouragement to others. I told my husband , when I get more mature as times come I will want to be like her. That kind of gentleness and sincerity just draw people close to her.
I have choose this beautiful cake from -> Maycklaw
The lady love chocolate and cheese, so I guess this cake fit in the criteria. The deco cake in Maycklaw blog look just so stunning. It make me started to want to try out whipping cream deco compare to buttercream .
So here is the recipe : (7" round mold)
Ingredients :
Chocolate Cake
50g Dark CoCoa Powder
60g Dark Chocolate ( chop into pieces)
120g Hot water
120g Buttermilk ( I do not have buttermilk I used 120g +1 Tbsp Lemon Juice)
170g Cake Flour
1tsp Baking soda - Put the baking soda in the flour mix well
2/4tspSalt ( I omitted this)
200g Brown Sugar ( I put 120g)
90g Corn Oil
2 Eggs ( without shell 120g)
Method :
1. Line the loose pan cake tin with baking paper. As I am using non stick loose cake tin. I line the side of the cake tin to make sure the cake rise evenly .
2. Combine cocoa powder and chocolate bites together , pour boiling water over and whisk till it smooth and melted. Add the buttermilk and mix well.
3.Place brown sugar, corn oil and egg in a mixing bowl . Beat the mixture until light and creamy by using electric mixer.
4. Preheat over at 165C ( adjust accordingly to your oven heat , this the temperature for mine)
5. Mix in the flour mixture ,alternated with chocolate mixture till all combine well.
6. Pour the batter into 7" round cake pan and bake in the oven for 40-45min. Until a skewer inserted come out clean
7. Remove the cake from the oven , leave it to cool and cut into 2 pieces.
Cheese Cake Layer
250g Cream Cheese ( Soften)
2 Eggs (120g)
40g Castor Sugar
60g Pouring Cream
60g Oreo Biscuit ( chop into small pieces) I have the very thin cream orea biscuit so I have the cream included in the biscuits
Method :
1. Wrap up the loose bottom cake tin with aluminium foil in few layers. To avoid water leaks into the cake while baking
2. Cream the cream cheese and sugar till creamy and smooth
3. Preheat oven till 160C
3. Add in egg and beat well after each addition of egg till creamy. Add in the cream and combine the mixture well.
4. Pour the cheese cream batter into the cake tin and steam bake the cake for 1hour or until cooked.
5. Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool and not unmould it.
6. Chilled the cake in the fridge at least 4 hours.
7. Gentle remove the cake from the tin when need assemble the cake.
** Steam bake is to bake the cake by placing the cake tin in a larger pan that fill with hot water . For this cake the water level is about 1/3 higher than the batter of the cake
Cream for decoration :
300g Heavy Cream
2Tbsp Lemon Curd
3Tbsp castor sugar
1Tbsp Gelatin Power
2Tbsp of water
Method :
1. Sprinkle the gelatin onto the water to bloom. Let it sit on a bed of hot water so the gelatin will melt.
2. Combine the cream and lemon curd in a mixing bowl. Whip the cream with electric mixer.
3. Add in the sugar before cream started to before stiff.
4. Slowly pour the gelatin in while still whipping the cream in a stream flow. This will prevent the gelatin become lump .
5. All this need to be done before the cream is whip till soft peak. Continue to whip the cream till soft peak and smooth
Assemble the Cake :
1. Place a chocolate layer cake on the turnaround stand. Spread some lemon curd on top of the cake follow with thin layer of whipped cream.
2. Gentle place the cheese cake layer on top of the chocolate layer cake. Spread some lemon curd on the cheese cake and follow with thin layer of whipped cream
3. Place another piece of chocolate layer cake onto of the cheesecake. Spread some lemon curd on top of the cake.
4. Spread thick layer of cream over the cake . Now we can cover the cake with cream and deco to your liking.
To add gelatin to the cream is to stablise the cream .The amount of gelatin added in should not be too much . As we still want the cream to be soft yet it will not melt or drool down when it sit outside. Of course not under hot humid weather. I have this idea from google. It works for me on this cake. I guess this is something I will do next time when I used cream to deco. I would say this is the first time I deco a cake with cream. It seem successful with this method :)
I deco the cake with strawberry and some chocolate chip I bought from store. Normally I do not have a chance to try the cake I give it to others as gift. But this time, I request a piece of the cake to taste. I was given a half of the cake back. Well I thought they do not like it, turn out half of the cake is just a nice size for the 3 of them .
The cake is rich in every way. The chocolate has rich chocolate in it and the cheese cake really go well with the chocolate as a whole. The strawberry bring forth refreshness to the taste.The acidic of the fruits balance the taste of the cake. One will not feel too full when having a piece of this cake. It goes perfectly well with a cup of tea.
Do try out , if you are chocolate lover , you will love the chocolate cake.

Huntington, Pa. – February 27, 2009 – Mark Ribeiro tallied 15 kills, 12 digs, and four aces to lead the top-ranked Springfield College men's volleyball team past rival and second-ranked Juniata in five games on Friday evening in a critical EIVA Tait Conference and Division III men's volleyball matchup.
Springfield won by the game scores of 31-29, 30-32, 30-27, 17-30, 15-9.
The Pride, still ranked the top team in the Division III, improved to 8-6, 2-4 in conference play on the season and gained a crucial win over Juniata. The win over Juniata proved critical in the Pride's quest to return back to the 2009 Molten Invitational National Championships held at Ramapo College this spring.
Cal Palumbo also had a sensational night for the Pride as he hammered out 13 kills at a .632 clip to go along with four blocks. Ryan Fredrickson added 12 kills while AJ Nally posted 11 kills, including the two for the final two points of the match for Springfield. Eric Shoemaker dished out 48 assists and added three blocks in the victory, while Brandon Waas returned to the Springfield lineup with seven digs on defense for the Pride.
Zach Wanner led Juniata (7-4, 4-3 EIVA Tait) with 20 kills on 50 swings for a .240 attack percentage, to go with four total blocks on the night. Senior Dan Powers logged 15 kills on 24 swings, and sophomore Dan Follett chipped in with 13 kills and nine digs.
Senior setter Matt Werle recorded 53 assists during the match, putting him over the 4,000-career assist mark – third-most in Juniata history, and most assists in the rally scoring-era.
Juniata outhit Springfield for the match, .275 to .214, but the Eagles handed 27 points to the Pride on service errors alone.
The Eagles looked like they might make short work of the Pride in the early-going of set one, as Juniata raced out to a 7-2 lead which later widened to 13-7. Juniata still had a substantial lead in the first set at 19-14, following a Ribeiro service error and a Wanner service ace, but Springfield rattled off five straight points to knot the set at 19-19.
Juniata responded with five straight points of its own, including two on back-to-back kills by Wanner and Chris Vrooman, but a Vrooman service error cut short the run at 24-20. That launched a 7-3 run by the Pride, leaving the set deadlocked at 27-27, and six points later Springfield claimed the set following a bad set by Wanner and a Nally kill.
The Eagles had a 19-14 lead in set two, but another Pride comeback forced the set into extra-points before Juniata would claim the win. Springfield was on set-point at 29-28, but a Powers kill tied things up at 29-29. A Nally attack error and Wanner block gave Juniata a one-point lead, but a Palumbo kill moved the score to 30-30. Consecutive kills by Wanner and junior Evan Halteman allowed Juniata to clinch the set.
The third set was sheer attrition, with neither team able to attack with any consistency. Juniata hit just .056 for the set, while Springfield checked in with a .121 attack percentage. A four-point run by the Pride allowed Springfield to take an 18-12 lead, with Juniata eventually cutting the margin to 23-21 with a Follett kill and back-to-back blocks by the Eagles. However Springfield managed to stay ahead of Juniata the rest of the way, eventually ending the set on a Frederickson kill.
Juniata dominated Springfield in set four, jumping out to a 6-1 lead with a pair of kills by Follett. With their lead at 18-11, the Eagles rattled off five straight points of Wanner's serve, including a pair of service aces, to take command of the set. A Powers kill on 29-17 ended the set, forcing the decisive fifth frame.
Springfield took a 6-3 lead in the final set, but Juniata knotted the score at 6-6 with back-to-back kills by Wanner and Craig Harvey, and an attack error by Ribeiro. A pair of side out kills moved the score along to 7-7, but a Halteman attack error led Springfield take an 8-7 lead. The Pride won the next three points, including two on service aces by Ribeiro, before a Wanner kill ended the run and left Springfield with an 11-8 lead. A Halteman service error and Werle setting error stretched Springfield's lead to 13-8, but a side out service error by Springfield cut the lead to 13-9. Consecutive kills by Nally ended the set, giving Springfield the match.
Springfield returns to action on Saturday afternoon when it takes on Princeton in yet another cruical EIVA Tait Conference contest.

In a nutshell, this playlist, contains my second show reel where, most of which, are short pieces and cues (from 30-50 seconds long) that I have composed for TV adverts and short films that I have pitched for.
Some of these pieces granted me the opportunity to score a particular project whereas some others simply helped me increasing my music reel collection.
Unfortunately I am not authorised to display the actual videos as that could cause a potential copyright infringement however they are interesting pieces of music that I would like to invite you to listen.
This playlist consists of my main show reel.
I have decided to gather my best work present in this reel and put it into an album entitled "PREMONITION" (which is available for sale in the Shop tab).
This album compiles my best early work in this genre (initially composed for my University's final year project) as well as more recent material.
Some of these soundtracks were already used in previous projects such as 3D and 2D animation short films as well as film trailers.
I have tried to create this album with a wide variety of moods and textures so that the listener can hear my versatility as well as a diversified range of emotions.
TV Adverts & Short Film Cues
As per mentioned in the About tab, I have a strong musical Hip-Hop upbringing as I have initially started making this music genre. As such, a lot of my initial material was made on it.
In fact, this playlist contains most of my work made in Portugal before I started composing orchestral soundtrack music.
As my favourite Hip-Hop style was West Coast, most of my beats clearly encapsulate a G-Funk twang whereas some others follow a are more traditional "back to the roots" approach with the use of manually re-arranged chopped up samples to achieve the main melodies.

I used notepad, as you said, and it's finally working.
The other files were done using Wordpad and no problems, which is odd.
I didn't think it would make such a difference using Notepad over Wordpad.
