The capital market is the mix of procedures, and tangible and intangible institutions, providing for the transaction of long-term financial products. Products such as stocks, bonds, leases, and term loans may all be sold or traded in the capital market. Investment banks make many of these trades and sales possible, as well as providing other capital market services. Long-term financial products may be traded at physical, organized security exchanges or by using the informal, over-the-counter market.
Investment banking provides vital capital market services in the form of underwriting and distributing new securities. An investment banker may also advise clients about methods of raising long-term capital. When an investment bank underwrites a security, such as a stock offering, it assumes the risk of selling the stock at a price that will generate revenue for the investment-banking firm.
In an underwriting situation, a business doesn't actually sell common stock directly to public investors. The company sells stock to an underwriting investment banking syndicate that resells the stock to the public. If the stock prices fall, the syndicate suffers losses instead of the stock-issuing company. Businesses with securities that routinely under-perform may have issues securing underwriters for future stock offerings.
Distribution is one of the most essential capital market services. A syndicate must distribute the stocks the firm underwrites. These securities may be traded at security exchanges, through security dealers, or in over-the-counter markets, such as online trading storefronts. In a sense, the stock issuing company is a manufacturer, while syndicates are wholesalers, and security dears are retail stores.
Methods of distribution include negotiated purchase, competitive bid purchase, commission, privileged subscription, and direct sale. When stocks are first issued, dealers sell the securities in the primary market. Any stocks distributed after the first offering are sold using capital market services in secondary markets.
Of the various capital market services, financial advisement has the biggest potential to aid in the creation of a strategic foundation. Since many members of company's corporate team may not understand the intricacies of the capital market, investment banking advisers offer insight into the current market conditions and relate those conditions to the corporation's situation. An adviser may also analyze the company's structure and financial plan, offering strategies for improvement.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

This is a letter written to John Shore who has posted it on Patheos about a gay couple that has been welcomed into a church, then told they couldn't officially join.
Have a read
Hello John,
First I want to thank you for your book, UNFAIR. I only wish I had read it before meeting this past Tuesday with the new pastor of our church.
Due to the very things you write about, I left the church many years ago, as I could find no place within it for a gay man. My partner of thirty-three years did not have the church upbringing I did, and in the past had some bad experiences of his own with Christians and Christianity. So it took God working double-time to get us back into church.
We met several people in the community who, with genuine love in their hearts, invited us to visit their church. We eventually started attending there. The people of the church welcomed us in. After six months of regular attendance, we also started attending the church's Sunday School classes.
At the end of April I had a heart attack, and found out two weeks later that I had cancer. The people from the church—including its new pastor of seven weeks, who prayed for my recovery—rallied around us, giving us love and support.
We were both feeling like we had really found a church home.
After church two Sundays ago, our new pastor asked to meet with my partner and me. We set up a Tuesday afternoon meeting with him.
My partner did not feel well that day, so (feeling pretty weak myself, due to my chemotherapy), I went to the meeting by myself.
It started out as being what I thought was the new guy getting to know his church-goers. Thinking that he was my spiritual counselor, I opened up and shared with him the abuse I suffered as a child and teenager at the hands of people in the church. This is something I rarely share with anyone.
About thirty minutes into our discussion, the pastor shifted positions in his chair and said, "You're not going to like the direction this conversation is about to go." He proceeded to tell me that since my partner and I are homosexual (which he said like it tasted bad), he wanted to save us the embarrassment of being publicly refused when, as he knew we intended to do, we requested to officially join the church.
"We don't allow homosexual members here," he said. He added that we were, however, welcome to continue worshipping there on Sundays.
I was floored, hurt, and not sure what to say when he then asked how I could justify saying that I was a Christian homosexual.
Then he asked for my thoughts on what he'd said.
All I knew, and know, is that God loves me—which for me just then meant having to get out of there. Saying there was nothing left to say, I rose to leave. He stopped me, asking how he could he have handled this differently. I said, "Well, you could grow a set and stand up for what is right." As I was walking away, he came after me again, wanting to know if we could talk again sometime. I shook my head no.
I came home that Tuesday afternoon devastated; I cried, and I cried some more. All I wanted to do was go to church, help out if needed, and enjoy Christian fellowship. Now I have been made to again feel like a second-class half-Christian again. It brought back so many old feelings of self-worthlessness and damnation.
Then I got on the computer and started searching for answers, and God led me to your book. Next time I get clobbered with scripture, I will have some clobber verses of my own.
When we told the people who invited us to the church—the ones we knew before we started going there—what happened, they were all hurt deeply by their pastor's words.
I am not going to let this weaken my spirit, but I am so wary of organized religion, it will take a big push from God to get me inside again. I continue to read my Bible and pray and search for that safe place where we can learn about God's plan for our lives, and I pray for His mercy.
Thank you again.
Here are my only real thoughts around this issue. Show me anywhere the message of Jesus that people came away from interactions with him with "feelings of self-worthlessness and damnation"...let me help you out here, you won't find it.
I have long held the belief that if you are commanded to love, then the person who is the 'target' of that love, need to feel loved. If a person has an interaction with you, and goes away feeling anything but loved, then you have not loved them.
Many in the church over the years have hidden behind cliché, unbiblical sayings like "love the sinner, hate the sin" to spout hate, bigotry, and judgement at people in their communities who they are commanded to love.
I have used this clip before, but it might be a good time to remind us all today of the message that Tony Campolo gives about a 'gay son', I would say this relates to not just the LBGTI community, but any group that the church chooses to condemn whilst they hide behind ideas like 'hating your sin'
John Shore is a blogger and author. His latest book is UNFAIR: Christians and the LGBT Question which doesn't seem to be in any NZ Christian book stores (strange that) but you can get it at Fishpond.co.nz

Another rainy day. Hope you didn't forget to bring your umbrella!
It's been raining and raining and raining. We haven't posted anything lately, probably because too much rain. But we're still here to remind you to always bring an umbrella. In Japan, there are a lot of different kinds of umbrellas. There are big ones, small ones, colorful ones, lacy ones, and see-through ones. Take your pick. We like the see-through ones because you can see where you are going while your head is tucked inside.
You will never know when it will rain. Sunny day in the morning, rainy day in the afternoon. The weather has been strange lately. Well, don't let the rain stop you from finishing anything. If it rains, have a good warm cup of mocha. It never fails! 🙂

Client Story: Omari
Omari is a do-it-yourself kind of person; he is the type of guy that enjoys being hands-on with everything he does. But selling your home (especially as a first-timer) can be daunting for even the most determined individual. When Omari approached me to list his home, it came as no surprise that he had already done all his research. He knew he would be in the right hands and we got his home off the market in under two weeks!

Would Andrew Ference Make A Good Captain In Edmonton?
by Paul on 08/29/13 at 06:27 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal,
I suspect the new man Dallas Eakins will not try to make former Boston Bruins' defenceman Andrew Ference into something he is not, except for maybe changing the important letter on his NHL jersey from an A to a C because Ference is certainly acquainted with winning, something in short supply here for quite some time.
Plus, Ference, part of the strong leadership inner circle in Boston, knows how to talk the talk and walk the walk. This is not some guy who is just good in the room. He is good, where it counts, on the 200′ by 85′ sheet of ice, too. Just take it from his former boss Peter Chiarelli, part of Canada's Olympic selection committee. He hated to lose Ference, one of his top four D-men, somebody who could move up and down his lineup–mostly playing with fellow Edmontonian Johnny Boychuk.
Chiarelli simply couldn't afford his assistant captain with the salary cap squeeze, not having to sign goalie Tuukka Rask..
"Andy's a competitive little S.O.B," said Chiarelli. "He plays harder than his size (5'11″, 189)."

Proenza Schouler vs Topshop vs Miss Selfridge
Proenza Schouler bandage pencil skirt is very provocative! It only looks very simple, but it's not. Luxe viscose crépe mini fits like a glove. You can pair it with heels or flats, with tank and vest.
It's available at Saks:
Well, anyway I think almost one thousand is too much for skirt in crisis times :) So, I've found great alternatives. At Topshop you can find similar panelled bodycon skirt in black and turquoise:
However, reading one of my favourite blogs by The Girl In A Cashmere Daze about a great online shop Miss Selfridge, I've found in this shop many interesting pieces. The good thing is that they ship in Europe, USA and Australia!
Have a look at this black ribbed mini skirt:
Don't be afraid to create a hot outfit!

The blue one from Topshop certainly looks really good but i think that in these economic times, buying both colours would certainly bring a smile to my face. Just imagine wearing that bright blue to boost my confidence. Only downside is that we're heading towards winter in Australia.…so that skirt is risky business now…lol…maybe i'll buy it and wear in summer

I spent some time in France during the past two weeks. I was lucky enough to meet some very beautiful and inspiring people who were able to lift my low spirits; Aëla Labbé being one of these people. A big thank you to her for sharing such beautiful words and environments with me- and my gratitude goes to her for standing many feet above me to help capture these images while I braved the cold waters.

Hello and welcome to the new ArtsATL website!
We're excited to provide you with a completely new format to engage with Atlanta's arts scene.
Since our start, ArtsATL has been in the business of igniting deeper conversations about the arts in Atlanta. We do this through our reviews, news stories, features, interviews and supplemental programming. It is our aim to be the leading resource for Atlanta's multidisciplinary arts across the nation. Thanks to the generosity of Susan and Ron Antinori and the David, Helen and Marian Woodward Fund, we're now able to provide our readers with a sophisticated and modern reading experience.
Without a reliable source for criticism and news, Atlanta's creative community would be jeopardized. That's the principle on which Catherine Fox and Pierre Ruhe founded ArtsATL. It's our intention to continue to provide the high-quality reviews and news content that our readership has grown to know and count on us for.
But if we're going to be the defining voice of Atlanta's arts community, which is our goal, we can't stop there.
Atlanta is a city of over 5.5 million people. We're a city rich with diverse perspectives and wide ranges of talent. If we're going to garner attention for Atlanta on a national level, it is our duty as a publication to incorporate all of these perspectives into the fold.
It's for that reason that we are broadening and deepening our coverage of arts in Atlanta. This is reflected in the voices of our expanding contributor base and new forms of stories. Our readers can now anticipate opinion pieces, shorter reviews, video essays and long-form features. These additional forms of coverage will provide our readers with a more enriched experience.
These stories will also serve as a testament: Atlanta's got something to say, and we can speak for ourselves.
Thank you so much to those who took part in our surveys and provided us with such thoughtful feedback on our existing coverage. We took all of it to heart while developing this new site with Big Storytellers and Dan Israel.
We hope that you enjoy this new era of ArtsATL. Thank you again for your continued support.

British War Medal, France, Kings Shropshire Light Infantry, Leominster, Martin Lavelle, Southampton Street, Stafford Street, Victory Medal, Wolverhampton Borough Cemetery
Martin was born on 1 July 1879, the son of Martin Lavelle and Bridget Ronan or Rownan, who were living at Back Lane, Stafford Street, Wolverhampton, at the time of his birth. By 1891 they were living at Court 7, Stafford Street, together with his sisters Annie and Mary and brother Patrick. There is a blacksmith called Martin Lavelle of about the right age living at 2 Southampton Street, Wolverhampton, together with his wife Annie, in 1911, but I have been unable to confirm whether this is the same man.
Martin enlisted at Leominster in the 1st Battalion of King's Shropshire Light Infantry (number 15075). From 25 March 1915 he served in France, and received the British War and Victory Medals. Martin was wounded and transferred back to hospital in Exeter. He died of his wounds on 29 April 1918, and is buried in Wolverhampton Borough Cemetery. He is listed on their First World War Roll of Honour.

Community Urged to Support Torbay Lass
Residents, business leaders, retailers and politicians from across Torbay are being urged to attend an open day this month to see how then can play a part in saving one of the last surviving Brixham Trawlers.
People will be able to find out how they can get involved in the Save Torbay Lass campaign at Brixham's Scala Hall, in Market Street, on Thursday, November 28.
Between 9am and 5pm members of the steering group, tasked with trying to bring the back the vessel and restore her for future generations, will be available to answer questions and explain the background to the £1.3 million project.
The campaign is seeking a major Heritage Lottery Fund grant to cover the majority of the cost that will be involved in restoring Torbay Lass, which is currently lying on the River Thames in a very poor condition.
As well as highlighting the major task of restoration, which will be carried out ashore in Oxen Cove over a two to three year period, the event will highlight other aspects of the project, which include:
*Apprenticeships in shipbuilding and repair
*Training courses for young people in marine skills, from engineering to shipwrighting
*Opportunities for volunteers in various roles, including assisting with practical work, acting as guides and carrying out research for a community project
*The creation of a Heritage Trail in the town
*The launch of a Conservation in Action programme, led by volunteers
*Opportunities to learn traditional seamanship on board vessels run by the Trinity Sailing Foundation – Leader, Provident and Golden Vanity, as well as Torbay Lass once restoration is complete
The organisers want to attract as wide a range of people as possible, including individuals, members of community organisations and local business people.
A steering group spokesman said: "This is a community project, and we want the whole of Torbay to be aware of it and have a chance to participate in it.
"Torbay Lass is part of Brixham's history. Bringing her back and restoring her will be the last, missing, in the maritime heritage effort that began 15 years ago and has seen the Heritage Fleet become a major feature of the harbour area."
The campaign backing of local MP Dr Sarah Wollaston, Mayor Gordon Oliver and TV personality Jonathan Dimbleby – as well as Brixham Town Council, the Chamber of Commerce, Torbay Council, Torbay Development Agency, South Devon College and others.
Torbay Lass was built in 1923 and fished under sail until 1938. She was used as a sail training vessel for more than 50 years, but has fallen into disrepair and was in danger of being lost until the Save Torbay Lass campaign was started. The Heritage Lottery Fund has provided a grant to fund temporary repairs and the cost of bringing the boat back to Brixham, so that restoration can begin. She is ready to leave the Thames when weather conditions improve.

Stephen Hannock is renowned for his atmospheric landscapes: compositions of flooded rivers, nocturnes, and large vistas that often incorporate text inscriptions that relate to family, friends, or events of daily life. One of Hannock's masterpieces employing this technique is "The River Keeper," which is currently on view in the Albany Institute's galleries. "Many critics have compared Hannock's paintings to Thomas Cole, Frederic Edwin Church, and other 19th-century masters," Miles said. "It is an honor to include Stephen Hannock's work in exhibitions like Hudson River Panorama."
Hannock's paintings are represented in many private and public collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art- the National Gallery of Art- the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston- the National Museum of American Art- Smith College Museum of Art- the Museum of Contemporary Art in San Diego, and the Albany Institute of History & Art. In 1998, Hannock's work won an Academy Award for "Special Visual Effects" in the motion picture, What Dreams May Come. Hannock divides his time between his studios in Williamstown, Massachusetts, and New York City.
Also being honored at the 2010 Museum Gala is the John D. Picotte Family/Equinox Foundation, who have been a generous supporter of the Albany Institute. The 2010 Museum Gala recognizes them for their courage and vision in supporting the three-year planning, research, and design phases of the Institute's landmark exhibition, Hudson River Panorama: 400 Years of History, Art, and Culture, now on display through January 2011.
"Few foundations support the planning and research phase of projects because tangible evidence is not obvious in a short period of time," said Christine Miles, Executive Director of the Albany Institute. "However, it is impossible to create a multidimensional product without this essential support. Thanks to the Equinox Foundation, the Albany Institute has been able to advance our community's understanding of our regional culture and heritage while working to build the area's self-esteem." The multi-pronged project included the involvement of renowned history and science scholars, community groups, teachers, parents, students, and other audiences throughout the design phase, which ultimately resulted in the most successful exhibition and programming in the Albany Institute's 219-year history.
Tickets for the 2010 Museum Gala are still on sale, and may be purchased online by visiting

On the 22nd of December there was a Christmas Dinner organized by the NHTV Housing Facility for International students who couldn't go home for the holidays. On behalf of the Creative Lab I had the chance to make a video of the evening. It was fun to meet the enthusiastic organizing team and also the international students. I gained experience on how to use some equipment such as the Sony A7s camera, as I had never used them before. I also even made some money with it!

Screen casts an excitable look over the latest trailer for The Dark Knight Rises.
It seems trailers these days as like London buses; mere days after the spine tingling new Prometheus trailer went live, today has seen the launch of the sparkly new The Dark Knight Rises trailer and as the de facto office geek, it of course has turned to me to cast a glance over it.
Perfectly timed to trail with The Avengers in the US and in the post-buzz of its release in the UK, it amps up the excitement for Nolan's final chapter which promises to be epic in every sense of the word.
Even before we get the glorious "this isn't a car" line that brings the trailer to an end, we see more of Anne Hathaway vamping it up with added attitude as Selina Kyle/Catwoman and glimpses of Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the so-far mysterious John Blake. The majority of the early action scenes in the trailer are taken from the stunning prologue – screened at selected IMAXs with Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol – but I personally never get tired of seeing a plane ripped apart in mid-air. Pleasingly it also seems that some tinkering has been done with Bane's voice following certain grumbles after the prologue was released.
The dark nature and finality – "did they kill him?" asks Kyle; "I'm not sure" replies Blake – of it all has led to suggestions that Nolan will do the unthinkable and kill off the Bat, but the geek in me just reckons it's all about Bane breaking the Bat's back, leading Batman to the titular rise. But either way, it looks like no-one is getting out of it unscathed – especially the city as the trailer teases a jaw-dropping simultaneous bridge collapse in one wide shot.
Haven't seen it yet? I truly don't know what you're waiting for. Click here

Down on the farm – 10 reasons to visit Balgove Larder on your holiday
When I'm on a self-catering holiday an important and very enjoyable part of the whole experience is always to try out some local food and drink, whether I'm abroad or just in a different part of the UK. Fife, with its acres of farmland and proximity to the sea is fast becoming the Kingdom of quality local food producers. So for holidaymakers this equals foodie paradise!
Where could be more authentic for local food than a local farm shop? I suggest that if you want to sample the best of Fife and beyond then get yourself to the granddaddy of Fife farm shops, Balgove Larder just outside St Andrews. Here are 10 reasons why you should:
1. Farm-fresh
Since it opened in September 2010, Balgove Larder has grown phenomenally and is particularly famous for its huge meat counter, most of which comes from the farm itself. In particular I could not recommend the steak burgers to you enough, they are perfect for BBQs. Fruit and veg are also great with lots of choice – don't miss the strawberries from the local Pittormie Fruit Farm and Tentsmuir in the summer. Balgove Larder is also starting to grow its own veg this year, so you can reduce your carbon footprint even more and buy veg fresh from the field.
2. The sheer scale of it
Following an expansion in May 2013, Balgove Larder is bigger than your average farm shop and it doesn't do things by halves. It's like a wonderful treasure trove of delicious goodies, a place where food shopping is a pleasure, not a chore. It really does have all the best local food and drink produce under one roof like nowhere else I know. Definitely not somewhere to go on an empty stomach, though: you have been warned!
3. The steak barn
Did I mention the steak burgers? (*Drools*) Well you can eat them as well as some real steak on site during the summer months (from Easter weekend until September) at the Balgove Larder steak barn. Just a short distance from the shop building, it's a truly charming and (thankfully) covered place for a relaxed, outdoor lunch or dinner in the country, sitting at long benches tucking into some of Balgove Larder's delights. Not to be missed.
What's more the barn is also just about to become the venue for something new in the area: The Night Market. This is starting on Wednesday 14 May 2014 and will offer a different range from the Fife Farmer's market with produce from Fife and beyond, freshly prepared food to snack on while you shop, a variety of drinks (maybe even a cocktail or two), live music and a big emphasis on fun. I can't wait to check it out! (http://www.facebook.com/The NightmarketSA and @NightmarketSA on Twitter.)
Year round Balgove Larder also has its popular indoor cafe, just beside the shop. There is a new seasonal menu coming soon.
4. Hot smoked salmon
Balgove Larder stocks lovely fresh hot smoked salmon, which is my favourite type of Scottish salmon, from the nearby East Neuk fishing village of St Monans. The hot part describes the smoking process, not the salmon itself. It's much meatier and less slimy than regular smoked salmon. Simply serve with a potato salad and some green leaves for a quick, healthy and extremely tasty holiday meal.
5. Ready meals
Too tired from all that sightseeing to cook tonight? Balgove Larder's delicious ready meals are a cut above supermarket ones. They are made on site, using as much of the farm's own produce as possible. Creamy macaroni cheese and hearty Beef Bourgignon are guaranteed to satisfy even the fussiest eaters in your group and there are lots of other meals to choose from.
6. Cartmel sticky toffee pudding
Admittedly not local (it comes from the village of Cartmel in the Lake District) but surely the best premium sticky toffee pudding in the UK is available at Balgove Larder. No fuss dessert heaven which is perfect for holidaymakers with a sweet tooth.
7. Dip Nation
Balgove Larder also stocks the amazing local Dip Nation dips. Combined with strips of either fresh carrot or toasted pitta bread, these are my first port of call for holiday snacks and new varieties seem to be appearing all the time. Dip Nation also do a great pesto for instant pasta perfection.
8. Craft beer and cider selection
Local beers from St Andrews Brewing Company and Eden Brewery's local beers are winning loads of awards for good reason and Balgove Larder has a great selection of them. I love St Andrews Brewing Company's Crail Ale and Eden Brewery's Blonde. If you're not a beer person try the Thistly Cross Real Ginger Cider, a ginger-flavoured premium farmhouse cider from East Lothian. It's my favourite cider ever and is perfect over ice on a summer's evening. Well you are on holiday!
9. King-sized sausage rolls
Only once has Mr ENB managed to leave Balgove Larder without buying and promptly scoffing on site one of their hot and luxuriously large and meaty sausage rolls and that was under severe duress, which I suspect will be complained about for years to come! (Especially good if you have ignored my advice in number 2 above not to go to Balgove Larder on an empty stomach!)
10. Highland coos!
Last but not definitely least the farm's Highland coos (cows) have a lot of personality which adds to any visit to Balgove Larder. Many visitors can't resist stopping their cars to take photos of them in the fields outside, myself included! Black and white photos of these peculiarly Scottish characters adorn the shop walls and there are also brightly-coloured, extremely cute pig paintings in the cafe.
So there you go – 10 reasons why you should make Balgove Larder part of your holiday in the East Neuk. Balgove Larder is on the A91 just outside St Andrews, on the way to Leuchars (just past the Old Course hotel) and is open 7 days a week. They will be offering a selection of their products at the Crail Food Festival 2014, including ready to eat homemade treats such as their popular scones and lots of things for you to sample.

Why Has 'Vancouverism' Become a Hard Sell in Canada?
"[Vancouver's] combination of high population density in cozy downtown neighbourhoods, intimate street life and popular public transit has become one of Canada's leading exports: When I visit cities in Europe and the United States, their officials talk earnestly of adopting 'Vancouverism,'" observes Saunders. "To Vancouverize, in the minds of mayors, is to make residents realize that having a crowded, people-packed downtown core is not a problem but a solution. Canadians have known the grim tedium of low-density cities, but now we're known for the opposite."
Canadian cities are in desperate need of densification to confront the pressing problems of population growth, sprawl, rising housing costs, and funding for quality of life enhancements, he argues.
"And yet one place where Vancouverism has lost steam is in Canada. Developers tell me that it has become almost impossible during the past three years to get even tasteful mid-rise apartment projects approved in Toronto, as a populist, suburban mayor allows local residents to block anything. Montreal's blend of corruption and paralysis has prevented much-needed density growth. And even Vancouver, according to one report, still has more than 7,000 surplus parking spaces, and downtown development is now stagnant."
"We lived for six decades with sprawling outskirts and the anomie of parking-lot downtowns," urges Saunders. "Now that we're famous for inventing an alternative, it's time to embrace it."

Located just on the far side of the Clackamas River off HWY 99E/ McLoughlin Boulevard, Clackamette Park celebrates the union of the Clackamas and Willamette Rivers just within the nearby town of Oregon City (~25 min drive from downtown PDX).
If the weather is cool and pleasant we'll walk a three mile loop featuring two Clackamas River bridges, three parks and the infamous historic "Pow Wow Tree" in the joining neighborhood. Most of this walk will be on well-groomed wide trails in the wild greenspace. The adjacent area is undergoing development into a posh cove-side community, so currently features an interesting array of large construction machines. This area has haunting industrial remnants as well as the wild natural beauty inherent in these two rivers. View busy and deadly High Rocks Park from the pedestrian bridge.
If the weather is hot we will forgo heat exhaustion in favor of a nice swim instead in man-made Clackamette Cove, just up the frontage road from the Clackamette Park entrance. These still lagoon waters are neither advertised nor signed and therefore retain obscurity despite being arguably the best warm swimming hole in the greater Portland area. Try it before it gets developed and discovered by the masses. Bring swimsuit, towel, water, snacks, walking shoes, and if swimming definitely water shoes/flip flops, as the lake also has an evident industrial past. All swimming skill levels are welcome, but there is no official life guard. Bring a floaty/water wings or challenge yourself to conquer the triathlon buoys scattered around the lake.
Friendly dogs and families are welcome. Contact Organizer Dr. Mindy Curry for more information. Meet/park near the restrooms located straight in towards the boat ramp and to the left from the Clackamette Park entrance. From 99E cross the bridge across the Clackamas River into Oregon City, then take a right on the first street just past McDonalds across from the strip mall. Take the first right, then turn left into Clackamette Park.

From Monday night onward, Amanda Palmer has been retweeting the response to her request for a Robin Williams tribute; as a memorium, and and to help raise awareness for suicide prevention. She posted some of them in her recent blog, but you can follow the hashtag on twitter. There are an amazing amount, and this more than anything else I've seen has shown the extent and impact of Robin Williams' death.

I love words.
I love typography.
I love reading well written words.
I love made-up words.
They're kinda my thing.
For as long as I can remember, I have wanted a sign outside my house, like bars or churches (Bible Belt represent!) have near sidewalks and roadways.
When I finally bought a house, I confessed to Ben how disappointed I was that I wouldn't be able to live out my dream of posting a new quote each day for those passing by to read.
I don't think he ever realized how serious I was about that dream. (Nevermind the piles and stacks and notebooks and files computer documents of thousands and thousands of quotes.)
All this to tell you, I really love words, man. Quotes specifically. I spent more time finding the perfect quotes and writing out the perfect phrases for our elopement ceremony than I did trying to find a dress. A LOT more time.
So, I really appreciate it when people get creative with their various signage:

…and with 153 days left in the year, I thought it might be nice if I showed back up here.
One day I'll be regular. I promise.
I just need some more prunes.
(Get it? It's a poor witticism about human excrement!)
Maybe I shouldn't be back more often.
How about some photos from my phone?
•This is from a week-ish ago; I always joke about how all the dogs love Food Lady (that's me) the very most, and in wintertime, their warmth is most welcome, but during the summer it can be a bit stifling. Look closely here and you can see our large 75lb puppy, our small fat old bear, my Rock Star (that's Ben), and me underneath all of them.
•This is from an independent shoot I helped on for a prospective pilot. The audio guy couldn't make it, so he just sent the equipment out with us. Pictured is the DP, the producer, and the talent, all trying to figure out all those confusing wires.
This is my beloved Rock Star, wasted nearly beyond recognition around 4am after his birthday party. By this point I'm pretty sure he's moved on to straight water.
These two are from our family beach trip to celebrate Oma's 85th birthday. Lots of fun with an amazing amount alcohol flowing to keep all the Germans in good spirits.
Oh! I nearly forgot!! We're now an aunt/uncle…we now have a niece. She was born with a heart defect, poor thing has already had major heart surgery and she's not even eight weeks old.
The above awesome photo was taken from the Instagram page of Adelinakajtazovic
Ben went on a five week tour with Whitechapel from April-May. He had a ton of fun and I had to wash my own dishes.
And our puppy Zhora and chubby old bear Attila are still hanging around too!

My lovely Rock Star, Ben, posted his annual Best Albums list from 2012. I'd like to say I have an opinion on this, but his musical taste is opinionated enough for our ousehold.
Its that time of year again! 2011 was a tough act to follow, considering it featured album releases by most of my favorite bands. But 2012 was no slouch either, delivering several super high quality albums that i am sure to listen to for years! Here's some of my favorites, in no particular order:
Meshuggah: Koloss- Of course this is one of my favorites. I am a complete sucker for anything they do. Koloss is maybe the most straightforward album they've done yet, but don't let that make you think its a commercial venture. Its just as brutal as anything they've ever done. They don't exactly break a whole lot of new ground, but its a slow refinement of ideas they've been building their entire career. I think i could also listen to this album exclusively just for the guitar tone, which is pretty much perfect. Definitely the best and…

That's right. I get super busy, think about blogging, don't blog, then repeat every few weeks until I realize it's been so fucking long since I did blog, that I cannot even remember the last post.
I'd say I'm going to get back into regular blogging (start?) but it is the holiday season and we are stupidly busy and I'm still figuring out what kind of apps I want on my new phone so let us spare ourselves that obvious lie, okay?
So, hello to you and here is a picture of my darling dogs I fiddled with in some photo apps I'm testing (you know, instead of writing our Christmas cards or working on the [way-too-fucking] many hand-made gifts I've assigned myself):

Read the article here.
The hugely successful corporation, Google, was a spin off from research done for a PhD. thesis at Stanford, which makes looking at university research an attractive option. But if your business is considering working with IP that originates from a university, there are many questions to ask.
What role has the university played? Was it the incubator, the advisor, the developer? Will the start up be a spin off? Who owns the IP? What type of licensing will be put in place? Who will manage and maintain the patents? Who is responsible for indemnification in case of third party IP infringement suits? Will nondisclosure and non-compete agreements be put in place? The answers to these questions should establish a relationship that will justly reward both parties for their contributions, and encourage innovation and business success.
Take away:
- When collaborating with university researchers, be sure to understand who will own/license the background IP…along with the foreground, sideground and postground IP.

This week I've been listening to:
Christina Aguilera – Empty words: The lyrics in this song are really inspirational, from her Lotus album.
Haley Reinhardt – Undone: This song is in the film Step Up 4 and promoted to order her album. You might remember her from American Idol.
Skylar Grey – C'mon let me Ride: This song is very catchy – you've been warned (explicit lyrics).
Leona Lewis – Lovebird. One of my favourite songs on her new album.
Taylor Swift – I knew you were Trouble. Her new single, a different sound but I love it.

Catholic group urges TAPPS review
The organization that represents Texas' Catholic high schools on Thursday called for a comprehensive review of the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools, calling TAPPS' treatment of Jewish and Muslim schools unacceptable.
"Failure to sufficiently improve the structure and management of TAPPS will require a re-examination of our 43 Catholic schools' continued affiliation with TAPPS," wrote Margaret McGettrick, education director of the Texas Catholic Conference Education Department.
Those schools represent 20 percent of TAPPS' membership.
She urged that a review committee represent the association's "denominational, institutional and geographic diversity, to ensure that the issues and concerns of all members are accounted for and addressed."
The letter follows TAPPS' refusal - until it was sued - to reschedule its state basketball playoffs to accommodate a Class 2A boys team from Beren Academy in Houston. It also cites TAPPS' rejection of a Houston Muslim school, the Iman Academy, for membership.
The letter was forwarded to the TAPPS board for review, said Edd Burleson, the association's longtime executive director.
After the Beren and Iman disputes, TAPPS sent a survey to every member school to help determine the association's direction, Burleson said.
"Do they want the TAPPS board to accept without question any private or parochial schools?" he asked, referring to TAPPS members. "And if you do, do you want TAPPS to adjust its rules to accommodate every need of every school or every individual? Just tell us what you want to do, so that we'll know how to proceed."
The survey is a step in the right direction, said the Rev. Robert Busch, superintendent of the Diocese of Amarillo and president of the state's Roman Catholic school superintendents.
"It does ask some important questions," he said. "Sometimes survey questions can be a little too black and white, though. We would like to see TAPPS do more than just a survey to its schools."
Flap over game times
Beren Academy, an Orthodox Jewish day school whose boys basketball team advanced to the state semifinals this month, was initially forced to forfeit its spot because game times for the semifinal and ensuing championship game conflicted with the Jewish Sabbath. The school appealed the decision twice, but was denied both times.
The school and TAPPS drew national attention, and after parents filed lawsuits, Beren was allowed to play in the rescheduled semifinal. The Stars won and reached the championship game, which also was rescheduled. Beren lost that game.
"The goal with TAPPS is to represent yourself in a dignified and respectful manner in competition, and that is a very good message," said Rabbi Harry Sinoff, head of the upper school at Beren Academy. "The more people you include, the more that message is spread, and that is a good thing."
Questionnaire 'loaded'
Iman was denied membership in 2010. Cindy Steffens, an Iman administrator, said this month that a TAPPS questionnaire sent to the academy contained "loaded and provocative" questions. Other Islamic schools withdrew from the process after receiving the questionnaire, but Iman officials later interviewed with the TAPPS Executive Board.
"After what happened with the Islamic school, we requested a meeting with TAPPS and visited with their directors for an hour or so," Busch said. "We decided to take the wait-and-see route since we had brought up our concerns to them."
In addition to Burleson and TAPPS associate director Bryan Bunselmeyer, the board consists of administrators from nine schools. The current president is Jon LeBrasseur, athletic director of Muenster Sacred Heart.
That board's decisions will be watched closely by the Catholic schools, McGettrick said.
"If there was no change in the internal direction of TAPPS, (leaving) would be a strong possibility," she said.

The shofar is generally made out of a ram's horn, and the Blowing of the Shofar has many purposes and many layers of meaning.
If it is made of a ram's horn, rather than an eland, ibex or kudu horn, it calls to mind the ram that Abraham sacrificed in place of Isaac. And it helps instill in us awe and fear of Hashem's glory, as it says in Amos 3:6: "If a ram's horn is sounded in the city, can the inhabitants fail to be alarmed?"
The word "shofar," is similar to the word "shapru," Hebrew for "beautify", which is to remind us to beautify our deeds and correct our actions.
The shape of the shofar also hints at of our relationship with G-d. The shofar has a narrow end and a wide end. We blow into the shofar at the narrow, tapered end, and the sound comes out of the wider end, as in some musical instruments. This alludes to the verse, "From the straits I called upon Hashem, Hashem answered me expansively" (Psalms 118:5), which we actually recite before the blowing of the shofar on Rosh Hashanah. In other words, when we are in dire straits we pray to Hashem, and He responds by helping us with expansively, i.e., with bountiful help and support.
One person is designated as the shofar blower, which is a difficult task, and in any case should be performed by a righteous person, since in a sense he is representing us.
On Rosh Hashanah we are judged. The Tempting Angel, who is also our Accuser, stands before the Heavenly Court and enumerates our sins. But the Talmud tells us that whenever we perform a Mitzvah the Accuser is silenced as long as we are doing that Mitzvah. Thus, while we are listening to the shofar on Rosh Hashanah, we cannot be accused. Therefore, this is a very opportune time to silently repent our sins.
Judaism does not believe in confessing to human beings. When you confess, do so quietly, so that only Hashem and you can hear it. If you have sinned against another human being, you must ask that person for forgiveness first (not while the shofar is being blown, of course), and afterwards confess quietly to Hashem and resolve to try not to sin again.
Our blowing of the shofar is also like crying. It is our cry to Hashem to show that we are sorry for our sins.
There are three types of sounds that we blow on the shofar: one straight sound, a set of three brief sounds, and a set of staccato sounds. Why these sounds? Eac represents a different crying sound: the long moan, brief groans, or choppy cries. Sometimes a crying person makes various kinds of crying sounds, catching his breath, bleating, even hicupps, at times.
This reminds us that Hashem has mercy on us like a father has on his crying children, giving them what they need and comforting them.
Today is the birthday of the world. Today all creatures of the world stand in judgement, either as children or as servants. If as children, be merciful with us as a father has mercy on his children. If as servants, our eyes look to You, in dependance upon You, until You are gracious to us and acquit us with a verdict as clear as day, O Awesome and Holy One.
We blow the shofar in a number of stages: some of the blasts we blow immediately after the blessing, and the other blasts are disbursed throughout the prayers.

Ring a ring a turbine
A pocket full of dosh
Four and twenty dead birds
Worth it for the Rocs
by A Cynic
Despite what the Industry says there have been numerous reports of deaths of Birds of Prey and many other species from wind turbines. From The Altramont Pass in the USA to Navarre in Spain to Smola in Norway, attrition on the bird species has been well documented. The RSPB, Government and Developers simply accept a certain level of destruction and compare it to birds killed by cars and by household cats. Never yet seen my cat come through the catflap with a red kite or a golden eagle! These species are protected by a European Directive that if anyone else flouted the full force of law would descend. A group in Spain, run by Marc Duchamp has been covering this for many years. One link here will surprise you Iberica2000.org . The only recorded death in the Highlands was at Fairburn and was possibly only notified because the Kite was radio tagged. Radio tagging of Golden Eagles has proved that they frequent the proposed Dumnaglass Wind Farm site on a regular basis, as well as the proposed site at Glenfiddich, despite in both cases the paid consultants stating that no Eagles were ever seen there. Ergo:they lie! This is fairly typical of a consultants report to any Environmental Statement. The radio tracks of this Eagle Cullen and the other Eagles that have been tagged as part of this scheme do suggest that these birds cover far greater areas than those such as the Glen Affric/Strathconon SNH Protected Area. It might well suggest that for raptors the whole of the Highland from Perth to Sutherland be declared an Avian National Park. It is a fact of life that the same conditions that attract wind farms, A rising hillside into the prevailing wind also attract raptors who use these conditions to soar in the same way a glider pilot would. It has also been suggested that the attrition of small birds and bats attract the same mamals that the raptors see as a source of food. In other words the wind farm is laying out a dinner table for these birds of prey, whilst their inherent defence mechanisms do not warn them of the danger of turbine blades travelling at 120-15omph. (see Graham Martin's Raptor Collision Report in Turbine Truths) Going back to the beginning, cars and trucks may kill many birds but how many cars and trucks do we find on our roads doing 120-150mph. Now that would attract the interest of the Police never mind RSPB!

And What does the Renewables Industry have to say? To quote from a statement by the British Wind Energy Association, the original name of Renewables UK:
Wind farm refused in Scotland
Posted on: 21 Jul 2011
RSPB Scotland has welcomes decision to refuse consent for Stacain wind farm in Argyll, whcih would have been a threat to Golden Eagles.
This is the second time that Ministers have refused consent for the 14-turbine wind farm at Stacain, near Inveraray, following a six-year planning process involving two formal public inquiries.
Developer Bagmoor Wind's proposal would have been located within the Glen Etive and Glen Fyne Special Protection Area (SPA) for Golden Eagles and, if approved, would have posed a significant threat to the birds, due to habitat loss and risk of collision with turbines. There are just over 440 pairs of Golden Eagles left in Scotland, and a 2008 report by SNH found that the conservation status of Scotland's golden eagle population was unfavourable. The main constraint nationally was identified as illegal killing, but wind farm development was an additional factor in Argyll and in Caithness.
Commenting on the decision, Aedan Smith of RSPB Scotland said: "We are very pleased with Scottish Ministers' decision. It is the right one for wildlife and renewable energy. This proposal would have caused serious harm to the eagles and to the reputation of wind farms, making it more difficult to deliver the renewable energy we need to tackle climate change."
"We were particularly pleased to see robust opposition to the proposals from SNH. RSPB Scotland, SNH and the local community have had to invest a major amount of time and money to fight this completely inappropriate proposal for over 6 years. It is enormously frustrating that we needed to do this when our efforts, and those of developers, should be going towards delivering renewables in the right place that do not harm Scotland's precious wildlife and habitats."

Maria Vlachou looks at cultural institutions as sites of resistance.
Cultural organisations have claimed for a long time to be 'safe' or 'neutral' places which do not get involved in politics and welcome everyone. However, more and more voices among culture professionals are questioning what 'safe' and 'neutral' actually mean. Does it mean that we should favour anodyne and meaningless narratives, afraid of being challenged and criticised for our views? Does 'safe' actually mean 'safe for us' rather than 'safe for them'? Could it be that we would rather not bother and be bothered? Does 'safe' rather mean 'easy'?
There is no easy way to deal with life in society. Living in society, finding ways of sharing a common space and acting in it involves tension, and history, art, science reflect this tension. This is why it must also have a place in cultural organisations. However, the question of when and how to take a stand is very pertinent. The danger of getting entangled in partisan politics and personal agendas is real. We do believe, though, that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and most cultural organisations' mission to promote understanding, dialogue, tolerance and respect, as well as much needed critical thinking, can provide the necessary guidance in making decisions. Should cultural organisations wish to remain relevant in people's lives, can they remain silent in front of social injustices, intolerance, hate and discrimination?
In 2015, a number of US museum professionals and museum bloggers issued the 'Museums respond to Ferguson' statement, questioning the role of cultural organisations, museums in particular, in promoting greater cultural and racial understanding. "New laws and policies will help, but any movement toward greater cultural and racial understanding and communication must be supported by our country's cultural and educational infrastructure. Museums are a part of this educational and cultural network." The movement did not manage to involve many museums and questions were raised whether this was not an issue that referred specifically to museums with African American collections or situated in the communities where black people had been shot by police. Was this not a reason for concern for citizens in every American community and everywhere in the world, considering that the US aspires to be the "leader of the free world"?
A major concern among culture professionals is whether taking a stand would alienate many people. Taking a stand isn't inherently riskier than remaining silent and irrelevant, but it is worth looking at some examples of cultural organisations that have not lost people's support for assuming their political responsibilities.
When in 2014 the Victoria and Albert Museum presented its new Rapid Response collecting program, curator Corinna Gardner explained: "The Rapid Response gallery is about the museum looking outwards and engaging with topics that are in the news. It's an opportunity to think afresh and respond in a more agile way, rather than just buying more chairs." In that same year, the museum presented the exhibition 'Disobedient objects', the first to examine the powerful role of objects in movements for social change. Other organisations followed suit and it was particularly interesting to see how promptly some museums reacted to Women's March protests last January, putting out calls for placards, photographs and objects. Glasgow Women's Library was perhaps the first to receive a pink pussy hat.
In Europe, the House on Fire network brings together, since 2007, 10 theatres and festivals which have pursued an international programming and co-production policy, conscious of the place culture may claim in the public debate about social, environmental and political issues, offering a valid source of knowledge and experience. More recently, political events such as the Brexit referendum and the US Presidential election made other theatres and professionals question their role.
In the UK, shortly after the referendum, the National Theatre was embarking on a major project to tell the story of modern Britain. The theatre conducted hundreds of interviews about life in the UK in different cities and towns, conscious, according to its Artistic Director, Rufus Norris, that "part of the rancour, the protest, was about the dominance of metropolitan, London-based voices telling us this is how we do things", and that the National Theatre was at the heart of this metropolitan elite. "We've got to try to do what little we can to address the complete vote of no confidence in our system", Norris said. "I don't believe 17.5 million people are racists or idiots. I categorically don't. I think we've got to listen." The oral archive created has been the source used by playwrights to create new plays.
On the other side of the Atlantic, it took award-winning playwright Robert Schenkkan one week to write Building the Wall.
"We no longer live in a world that is business as usual – Trump has made that very clear – and if theatre is going to remain relevant, we must become faster to respond. We cannot hope to be useful if we can't respond until 18 months after the fact", Schenkkan said.
The first theatre to present the play was Fountain Theatre in Los Angeles, last March. "We had our season in place, with another production planned, but as soon as I read the script I knew we had to move fast", said Artistic Director Stephen Sachs. "It's a raw, passionate warning cry, and I knew we had to be bold and make this statement." Along the same line, Public Theater announced a new discussion series titled 'Public Forum: A Well-Ordered Nation', exploring what it means to be responsible citizens during a Donald Trump presidency.
Trump's election caused many more reactions from cultural organisations. On the weekend right after the election, a number of museums invited people to visit in the hope that "visitors will explore the museum as a great and timely learning resource, especially our newly installed American Art galleries, which embrace an inclusive view of history and recognize the shifting demographics of our richly diverse country" (Brooklyn Museum). More cultural organisations made open statements against the President's executive order banning citizens, as well as refugees, from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the country (MoMA, Davis Museums at Wellesley College, Seattle Symphony Orchestra) or his plans to scrap funding for arts and humanities organisations.
The question is no longer whether cultural organisations should take part in the political discussion. This would be like questioning whether cultural organisations should take part in life. The question is whether they can react with the urgency required by certain events and, most of all, whether they can do it responsibly and efficiently, not with an opportunistic intent, but because they honestly wish to be places where people can come together and discuss, respectfully challenge each other's views, and reflect on the art of living together in society. Cultural organisations can, and should, be a place to resist barbarism and enjoy humanity.
