A woman knows pain, but is resilient. A woman speaks, and listens with her heart too. A woman is perfect, because she is not. Such strength, grace and passion should be honoured. As International Women's Day approaches, Goldheart is calling upon all women to celebrate their individuality, positivity and strength to overcome challenges by focusing on progression, not perfection, to enrich their lives.
Leading this year's International Women Day celebration is Goldheart Gold ambassador and award-winning Mediacorp artiste, Rebecca Lim. As a modern woman, the actress knows what it's like to take on life with the weight of the world on her shoulders. Having worked hard for her current achievements, Rebecca identifies with Goldheart's celebratory message for this International Women's Day, and hopes to inspire all women to focus on progression, not perfection as the greater joy in life.
Goldheart celebrates International Women's Day every year with different meaningful initiatives. The 2016 celebration also sees Goldheart launching a new MODE Gold It Bag collection that features four exquisite handbag shaped pendants in the new 916 gold. More than a fashion piece or luxury item, they are a symbol of the 21st century woman's independence, confidence and passion.
The collection will be available at most Goldheart boutiques island wide from this March 2016.
A woman's handbag speaks volumes of her personality and power. It is a reward many women allow themselves after an accomplishment. "She's got it in the bag" is a declaration of a woman's innate ability to get things done. These meaningful insights anchored the design inspiration for the MODE Gold It Bag collection.
Through this collection, Goldheart hopes to further inspire all modern women to celebrate their accomplishments, whether big or small. And as progression is continuous — women should never settle; but strive for achievements that will enrich their lives.
Hailing from Europe and carved out of 916 gold, the new MODE Gold It Bag collection features four intricate pendants in different handbag designs. Presented in four colour variations - champagne gold, rose gold, white gold and brown gold - these precious creations will certainly find a place in a fashionista's heart and ensemble!
A versatile piece, each pendant is the perfect accompaniment for your different moods: opt for the romantic rose gold to enchant minds. Steal attention at a fancy event with the dazzling white gold or pick the brown gold to complete a summery outfit.
Wear the pendant and be empowered in the knowledge that there is nothing you cannot do with positivity and determination.
MODE Gold is a signature collection that represents the new 916 gold and modernity of Goldheart Gold. Sold based on the market prices of gold per gram, MODE Gold jewellery doubles up as investment-worthy pieces that complements the savvy shoppers' evolving urban lifestyle.
Taking jewellery designs to the next level of refinement and innovation, state-of-the-art technology is used to produce the exquisite and intricate details synonymous with MODE Gold. Its signature modern champagne gold hue steals hearts, and is a departure from the typical bright yellow of 999 gold.

Seinfeld is a sitcom show created by Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David. The show aired on NBC from 1989 to 1998 lasting nine seasons.
It is referenced in Arrested Development several times.
George says he mistook Saddam Hussein for the 'Soup Nazi' from Seinfeld. ("For British Eyes Only") When the Bluth sons visit Iraq and meet the Saddam Hussein look-alikes, one of them is portrayed by Larry Thomas, the actor who played the Soup Nazi on Seinfeld. ("Exit Strategy")
In "Hand to God," Maggie Lizer prods at Michael that he is "only here for the baby." She pronounces the word "baby" in the same mimicking voice that Elaine (also played by Louis-Dreyfus) used to say the word in Seinfeld when mocking her and Jerry's friends who were new parents.
When the family is trying to decide what to raise money for at the dinner they all take a vote and put a paper into a hat. When George Sr. reads all the choices, one he reads out "Shrinkage. Ha! Someone watched Seinfeld last night." G.O.B. then laughs. ("S.O.B.s")
Michael buys a plane ticket and boards a flight he didn't plan on taking, just to get a magazine that mentions him. Similarly, in the Seinfeld episode "The Airport," George buys a plane ticket and boards a flight he didn't plan on taking, right after buying a magazine with a blurb that mentions him. Also in that episode, the discussion about proper tipping practice is a reference to a common motif on Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm. ("Flight of the Phoenix")
When George Michael is checking into the hotel, he says he wants one bed, not two, justifying his choice with the phrase "Why give her the option?" This is a reference to the pilot episode of Seinfeld, on which Kramer advises Jerry not to bring a second bed into his apartment for a woman who's staying with him, asking Jerry, "Why even give her an option?" ("It Gets Better")
- Julia Louis-Dreyfus played Elaine Benes (plays Maggie Lizer in Arrested Development)
- Larry Thomas played the Soup nazi (plays a Saddam Hussein look-alikes in Arrested Development)

After introducing the automatic identification technology (based on bar code and RFID technology) into the warehouse management system, the steps of manually writing the notes and sending them to the invoicer are removed, and the drawbacks of the old information of the warehouse are solved. We can automatically track the items wherever they flow. The combination of automatic identification technology and information technology helps enterprises to use warehouse space reasonably and effectively, and intelligent warehouse management system provides customers with the best service in a fast, accurate and low-cost way.
This system introduces automatic identification technology in warehouse management, and automatically collects data for each operation link of warehouse inspection, warehousing, delivery, exchange, shifting, inventory, etc. to ensure warehouse management operations. The efficiency and accuracy of the data input of the link ensures that the enterprise can accurately grasp the real data of the inventory in a timely and accurate manner and reasonably maintain and control the inventory of the enterprise. Through scientific coding, it is also convenient to manage the batch and use status of the product.

The general overarching rule in California is that employers are always required to carry workers' compensation insurance to cover their employees in case of injury on the job. There are exceptions, however, such as if the business is self-insured. With the new year, some of the exceptions have changed. One such example is what is referred to as the "executive opt-out rule."
Before 2017, the executive opt-out rule was that certain high-level officials in California businesses had to affirmatively opt-in to workers' compensation coverage. In other words, they had to take action in order to be covered. The new rule expands their coverage somewhat. It reverses the previous position, and states that if an executive does not want workers' compensation coverage, he or she must affirmatively opt-out of coverage. This rule does not include any "high level" employee. The employees covered under that rule are corporate officers or directors who are the sole shareholders of the business. It also covered working members of a limited liability company or a partnership. The new rule, which is found in AB 2883, states that as of January 1, 2017, all officers or members of boards of directors who are employees of a company must be covered by workers' compensation insurance, as any other employee. The only exception to this is if the officer or member of the board owns at least 15% of the outstanding stock for the corporation, and also executes a sworn statement that he or she is eligible for the exemption of workers' compensation insurance coverage. Moreover, working members of a limited liability company or partnership who receives wages from that limited liability company or partnership may also qualify for the insurance exemption. In order to be exempted, he or she must 1) be a managing member of a limited liability company or a partner in a partnership, and 2) execute a waiver, just as the members of the boards of directors. This waiver is only effective once it has been signed and received by the workers' compensation insurance company.
The general aim of this law is to expand those who are covered under workers' compensation insurance in the state of California. It prevents owners of small businesses from giving an employee a false title in order to avoid providing workers' compensation insurance for those employees, as was possible under the old rule.
These rule changes could have a big impact on your business. If you have a question about your responsibilities under the new law, contact me today at (714) 516-8188. We can discuss your business and how to make sure you are in compliance.

Teleradiology plays an important role in improving the standard of care for patients who have the unfortunate circumstance of having their illness present at times when physicians, nurses and hospitals are not always at their best and/or most fully staffed. It has long been known that the standard of care maintained by a hospital at 2 p.m. is not the same standard that is seen at 2 a.m. And, why is that? Why in this day and age with our level of technology and high levels of training does this persist?
Off-Hours Care in Stroke Centers
A recent article discussing this issue focused on stroke and stroke imaging centers. They found there was a slight increase in the risk of death for those coming to the hospital on the weekend or holidays versus weekdays, 17.2 percent versus 16.5 percent. In numbers, if the same weekday death rate prevailed in the off-hours group, about 259 patients died simply because they did not have the foresight to get sick on a weekday. Some might say that is not many, overall. Two hundred, fifty-nine out of about 37,000; but when that is broken into potentially unnecessary deaths of mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters, the number is inexcusable. And remember, this is looking at only one small area of care.
Hospitals designated as primary or comprehensive stroke centers provide the best possible care for stroke patients, regardless of the hour or day of presentation; but not every hospital can be a stroke center. So, what about the much larger group of hospitals in the U.S. that treat stroke patients who are not now or never will qualify as stroke centers? I believe, the radiologists at vRad and executive team at vRad believe this is where teleradiology has a huge role to play.
Telemedicine and Stroke Care
Heartland Regional Medical Center in St. Joseph, MO, a long time client of vRad (previously NightHawk Radiology Services) recently stepped up their level of care by becoming the first non-Mayo system hospital to take advantage of the stroke telemedicine care. Mayo Clinic neurologists now have the credentials and ability to practice stroke neurology at Heartland. This addition, along with vRad's unwavering commitment to supporting this medical center and hundreds of others like it, has the best opportunity to bring their 24/7/365 standard of care up to that typically seen only at the best comprehensive stroke centers in the country. Perry Kaneriya, M.D., a subspecialist neuroradiologist with vRad for 4 years, says, "…teleradiology has improved the quality of stroke diagnosis and treatment at hospitals throughout the country. The time of day and proximity to major medical centers no longer determine the quality of neurologic diagnostic services."
Teleradiology Improves Turnaround Times
Teleradiology and telemedicine together are supporting improvements in the level of patient care not otherwise possible in places where many times the needs are greatest. This is not to say we do not work with many primary and comprehensive stroke centers, we most certainly do. However, we also feel a tremendous responsibility to help bring an improved standard of care to every patient we can by working with large and small hospitals across the U.S., in all 50 states. Laura Hotchkiss, M.D., a radiologist with vRad for the past 3 years says, "As a radiologist who worked in hospital settings for 25 years, I can state that turnaround time for a stroke protocol, especially in a critical access hospital, is far more likely to be faster with teleradiology." Those who constantly complain about and criticize teleradiology and telemedicine, many times without a real alternative, would do well to remember the role teleradiology plays in the lives of these real people.
Telemedicine Raises the Standard of Care
Teleradiology and telemedicine are making a difference. By improving, enhancing and using the right technology, our radiologists are working with our clinical colleagues and partners to forge a new standard of care. It's a standard that can be maintained throughout the night, on weekends and holidays, and a standard of care that brings subspecialists and their training to bear any time and every time a patient needs the best care our radiologists and technology can provide.
vRad. Radiology excellence delivered! Together! – Not just a clever slogan, something our patients can depend on.

Nicholas Taylor's essay on Frederick Gibberd's Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral, first published June 1967. Photography by Henk Snoek and John Mills
Merseyside is a modern holy city as Coventry never was. The Beatlemania of the Cavern and the FA Cup hysterics of the Kop are merely the icing of a rich religious cake. The teeming Irish community has previously been confined by poverty to the gilding of back street Madonnas-apart from the 'creative poverty' of Leonard Stokes at Sefton Park and F. X. Velarde at Clubmoor.
Frederick Gibberd's cathedral triumphantly redresses the balance, at least externally, by its challenging relationship with Sir Giles Scott's Catalan Gothic splendour for the Protestant ship-owners further along the ridge. The loosely defined image of the 'big top' or 'wigwam' will probably prove as big a success with the people in general as Spence's Coventry, and there are already signs that it may acquire the same identity with Liverpool's own civic image that Bertrand Goldberg's Marina City towers have with Chicago's.
The reason is that it expresses with uncommon force one particular historical emotion: at Coventry it was the War Memorial with its symbolism of Sacrifice in the ruins and of Resurrection in the new church; at Liverpool it is the ecclesia triumphans of the Foleys and O'Reillys, a symbol of Catholic kingship riding high above the former Protestant ascendancy of merchants in the quaysides below.
'The tower serves the functional purpose of lighting the sanctuary but,' Gibberd emphasizes, 'it was largely determined by the environmental conditions. The great cathedrals of Christendom are generally crowns of the urban composition. Giles Gilbert Scott's tower already provided one crown for Liverpool and it seemed to me that, if it could be balanced by a tower of the Metroplitan Cathedral, the city would have a unique topography….
Symbolism was not the primary purpose of the pinnacle structure: that its bracing indicates a crown (not of thorns-it is the Cathedral of Christ the King) was of less importance to me than the environmental consideration of dissolving the silhouette into the Liverpool atmosphere.'
It is indeed a mighty Pop landmark, appropriately seen at its best on the landward side from the old Littlewood's building, which in a sense paid for it all through diocesan football pools. The architect has transmitted high emotional frequencies, not by introspective subtlety but by putting what can only be called architectural cliches into an uncannily right relationship with their site and with their surroundings.
Archbishop Downey's purchase of the Brownlow Hill site in 1928 was a stroke of genius: lofty and aspiring, it is yet much closer to the bustle of commerce than the Anglican St. James's Mount, with which the new lean structure contrasts more noticeably on the skyline than Lutyens's Byzantine fantasy would have done.
Gibberd has deliberately heightened the contrast with Scott's rosered pile by changing his finishes from grey concrete frame and pink Hollington stone infill in the competition design to white ceramic mosaic and greyish-white Portland stone; and the crowning lantern has been made more solid and less tapered.
There was widespread criticism back in 1960 that the architectural form lacked scale, being merely a blown-up tent. This happily proves untrue externally - the interior is another matter, as we shall see the more reasonable analogy, if there has to be one, being with the Octagon of Ely Cathedral. Gibberd uses the same peculiarly English stick-like forms, his boomerangshaped reinforced concrete members looking as wooden as the actual tree trunks at Ely.
Everything is tightly corseted within the three massive ring beams, except for the flying buttresses added at the suggestion of James Lowe, the structural engineer. Gibberd is not quite happy about them: 'These buttresses seem to have become a characteristic of the cathedral, out of all proportion to their importance, and to some they have given it a superficial resemblance to Niemeyer's cathedral at Brasilia, which I find infuriating because it is not a wigwam form: the walls are vertical and the load is taken by triangulated delta frames, not single inclined members.'
Yet, as so often happens with such puritanical honesty-Gibberd's own background is Congregationalist (oddly enough, from Coventry) - a powerfully emotional image has been created from the sharp joints and clumsinesses of deliberate sincerity, where smoother curves and a more fluent vocabulary might have dulled it.
The result has a surprisingly unpuritanical appeal-the kind of bony glamour that a top model-girl possesses. In Gibberd's own words, it is 'a precise, geometric structure on a precise, geometric base growing out of irregular rocky surroundings' - the decayed roofs of the city centre on one side and the miscellaneous scrapbook of recent university architecture on the other.
The base in every sense of Gibberd's external success has been his inspired use of Lutyens's unfinished crypt at the northern end of the site as a dark granitefaced podium supporting an 'open-air basilica.' Out of this vast paved space for people to mill around in soars the tent, with the external altar backed up against the picture-frame end of the Blessed Sacrament Chapel.
Gibberd, who was classically trained in his youth, has skilfully exploited the latent symmetry of Lutyens to fix the otherwise undefined rotunda, with its tendency visually to spin, on afirmly directional north-south axis. The Blessed Sacrament Chapel's sculptural emphasis is carried through on the opposite side of the building in the dramatic Breuer-derived 'banner' of the main entrance and bell-tower facing down Hope Street, to which eventually a straight flight of steps will descend, replacing the University's temporary nuclear science building.
Particularly skilful is the varied articulation of the other fourteen subsidiary volumes, each side chapel being clearly visible as an individual entity from nearby, yet merging at a distance into a convincingly solid bounding wall to the whole.
The ribs of the big structural frame are sometimes lost briefly among the projections; but from beside the east and west porches the nearest can be seen entire from base to pinnacle, slicing at random, with appealing clumsiness, through the edge of the podium, which is carried round the entire structure as a cruciform promenade (see site plan).
One of the best things Gibberd has done is to rescue the two fantastic staircases which Lutyens designed at the north-west and north-east corners of the crypt; their granite cantilevers (since 1939 supported on scaffolding) have finally been balanced by massive concrete pyramids poured on top.
As a whole, whatever minor infelicities there are (such as the bronze spirelet on the Lady Chapel and the barley-sugar helices absorbing wind pressure on the pinnacles of the crown), Gibberd has splendidly restated the traditional parti of a Catholic shrine: a geometrical temple on a panoramic platform on a sacred hilltop.
The difference is that in Italy worshippers would not have been made to face an altar into the sun and they would have been able to retire to a protective cloister on one or more sides. Gibberd's pilgrims can expect few bodily comforts to complement those of the spirit. They and their children will be deposited on an exposed hill-top-not far from the city centre, it is true, but soon to be cut off from it by the 'spaghetti' of the inner motorway.
The university's nearby car parks will fortunately be empty at the weekend when demands at the cathedral are greatest; but the other amenities in the crypt are simply inadequate, the tearoom being actually an afterthought, which had to be blasted through concrete walls already erected.
At the corner of Hope Street opposite the bell-tower the city planning officer intends eventually to create a small shopping parade, but this will be of a permanent kind and may not be organized for some years. In the meantime it is essential that the cathedral should be able to provide-if possible at street level and not on the podium-a series of elegant temporary units to house the cafes, postcard stalls and religious trinket marts which may otherwise deface the cathedral precinct with unplanned shacks.
The ancillary buildings so far erected-the presbytery, the convent and the university chaplaincy-have been designed by Gibberd's office in disappointingly heavy Portland stone with slate lintels and arched doorways.
The Roman Catholic Church has been doing a mortifying rethink on its role in a 'post-Christian society.' The whole emphasis of progressive talk about the cathedral will probably therefore be turned away from its external success as an oldstyle popular pilgrimage spot and instead focused internally on its supposed importance in the development of the Liturgical Movement.
It is true that in shape it is not a refurbished medieval basilica as Coventry is, but adopts a wholly centralized layout. As Cardinal Heenan said in his letter to competitors, 'The high altar is not an ornament to embellish the cathedral building. The cathedral, on the contrary, is built to enshrine the altar of sacrifice.'
Gibberd has answered this demand by putting the altar in a dead central position; by bending the congregation round it in more than a semi-cricle, he has eventually provided for 2,020 people within 80 feet of the altar (reduced from 8,000 in the slightly larger competition design).
But he has frankly admitted: 'I have only the slightest knowledge of the new Liturgical Movement: if, for example, someone says that a bishop's throne must be behind the high altar, or that the font may be associated with the sanctuary, then I cannot question these statements.'
'In so far as the seating is concerned,' he has said, 'the plan could just as well be a semi-circle'-which might indeed be more logical, in view of the small space taken up by the priests on their side of the altar compared with that of the congregation. Choir stalls and a ceremonial ramp fill it out at Liverpool.
Gibberd claims that 'the circular plan form is a natural grouping (my italics) in which there is a sense of physical proximity to the centre of activity and a relationship of person to person which emphasizes the communal aspect of worship.' Yet the truly natural grouping which can be seen around any rostrum at Speakers' Corner can best be described as a series of circular rings held together tangentially at one side-resulting in an off-centre scallop or fan shape.
Gibberd's circular cliché feeds the popular misapprehension of 'the church-in-the-round,' at a time when the Renaissance idea of a geometrically central altar has been rejected for some years by the more imaginative Liturgical Movement architects on the Continent and in this country.
Admittedly most of their churches are small in size, making irregular roofs relatively easy to build; for a big space, Gibberd's regular progression of cylinder, cone and lantern had a compelling logic in terms of technique. Taylor Woodrow's single tower crane, revolving slowly upwards, was visually perhaps the most splendid piece of contractors' tackle seen in England since the war.
In the space left behind, however, there is a fatal lack of definition. (Admittedly this has been written before the insertion of the seating; but not much visually can be hoped for from that, particularly as it is intended to be removable). The sequence on the main axis starts promisingly within the soaring main porch. The low glazed link further raises expectancy and then whoosh, the entire space opens out in a single coup d'oeil.
A single-room parish church is small enough for functional diversions within it to be tightly marked and controlled. In the Metropolitan Cathedral by contrast there is nothing fixed at all except the altar, which is raised by three steps on a low sanctuary platform, and the organ console behind it. The font, instead of being associated with the sanctuary for baptisms involving the entire congregation, is retracted to its conventional position as a chapel beside the main entrance.
Admittedly one doubt of 1960 proves unfounded: that the Piper-Reyntiens glazed lantern would ride too high above the sanctuary to relate meaningfully to it. Although the representation of the Trinity in three bursts of light is not comprehensible except on the rare occasions when the visitor is standing directly beneath it, the quality of that light is superb and possessed of never-ending refinements of depth and focus depending on the time, the seasons and the weather.
The finest view of all inside the cathedral is that which unfolds gradually to the clergy and choir as they proceed up the ceremonial ramp from the sacristies in the crypt; they emerge behind the high altar in a smooth curve which carries them exhilaratinglyiinto the midst of the central space. From an oblique angle the thorny baldacchino, with its sophisticated battery of mechanical equipment, succeeds admirably in spatially relating lantern with altar.
Only on the main axis does this connection break down, because the canopy's aluminium tubes are hung at a height where they cut across and are submerged by the massed organ pipes directly behind; these in turn crush into insignificance, except at close range, the liturgically important opening behind the sanctuary which focuses on the tabernacle of the Blessed Sacrament Altar.
Much more serious, however, is the curious lack of scale inside the main space, which is, after all, 194 feet in diameter within the main structure and an average of 235 feet across the chapels. It appears quite a small assembly hall until the size of men on the opposite side is picked out.
There are, I think, two main reasons for this. There is the specific failure to achieve internally adequate proportions for the subsidiary chapels, which externally are so convincing. They are very small and shallow on plan, 18 feet square for the smallest and 28 feet by 18 feet for those slightly larger, but reach a quite disproportionate height of 45-50 feet.
This would not matter so much if most of them were not wide open to the central space, becoming merely recessions off it and not distinct spaces in themselves. But even those that are shut off for private prayer lack scale: that of St. Joseph is crushed by its insensitive 45 foot light-funnel; that in the equivalent position on the east has a roundheaded doorway, an alien form in itself, which turns out to be at least twice as high as from a distance it appears to be.
The competition drawings were littered with similar doorways but, and this is the second, more crucial point-at that stage Gibberd proposed to face the entire wall surfaces of the chapels, inside as well as out, with Hollington stone. This has now been replaced, on every surface that can be seen from the main space, by acoustic plaster or buff rendering.
The English eye, I believe, has an instinctive appreciation of scale based on the presumed dimensions of brick and stone courses. It is Sir Giles Scott's exploitation of such dimensions that makes the choir aisles of the Anglican Cathedral at Liverpool such an exhilarating and (in spite of the decor) convincing experience.
The eye which picks out what are apparently the same stones low down in the aisle wall, high up in the transeptal vault and higher still in the main choir is able to measure the spaces between. In the Catholic crypt, the elderly Lutyens played games of perverse power by standing these accepted notions on their heads. (The effect is even better than he intended, as one of Gibberd's first acts was to insist that the brick vaults should not be plastered over, as even Lutyens himself had intended.)
Whereas Le Corbusier took to rough-shuttering his monumental buildings in regular courses, all Gibberd can offer is the indefinable vagueness of acoustic plaster, supplemented by the grid of the ceiling. Gibberd had himself solved such problems of scale exceedingly well in the chapel of De La Salle College, Hopwood Hall, Middleton (illustrated in AR, August, 1965), which was the one church he had been asked to design before Liverpoolabout a year before.
There, instead of placing the altar centrally in a circle, he placed it to one side in a hexagon; and against the pull of a similar central lantern he tied the space firmly down to human height by means of a continuous clerestory strip which defines a low ambulatory wall. A visit to this little building makes the more acute one's disappointment with the trite forms of detailing given to such chapels at the cathedral as have so far been fitted out.
The stained glass at these lower levels by Piper and Reyntiens is decidedly unhelpful: they have filled the three-sided frame round each chapel with bright blue glass in harsh diagonals, which besides being exhausting to the eyes, does much to destroy the integrity of the main structural ribs.
But Gibberd has not made the usual mistake of over-furnishing. He has omitted most of the pseudo-symbolic sculpture that has plastered on to his competition drawings. He has also deliberately left most of the chapels bare (apart from stained glass), so that, as funds allow, the growth of the community can be symbolized by' the growth and change in its cathedral.
This may leave the way open for tinsel Madonnas and Sunday School martyrs, but it is better to have those than to wrap up the whole cathedral as a fait accompli, with inherent dangers of spiritual stagnancy and liturgical obsolescence. It is admirable that an architect should have had such humility as to allow his cathedral to be tampered with by its users.

A/N: Written for the Evil!Sam Roulette challenge at evilsam_spn, for the song prompt Despicable Me, by Pharrell. I had a tough time coming up with something that wasn't completely cracky for this song; I'm still not sure how well I succeeded on that score.
Also available on AO3.
Summary: Mid-season 5 AU. Sam's had enough.
Being an excerpt from the third chapter of the Chronicles of Sam Winchester, Master of All Things Above and Below.
At precisely 2:13am on February 23, 2010, Marwin Hawk accidentally precipitated the end of the human race's sovereignty on Earth.
By trying to mug the Winchesters.
"Gimme your wallets," Hawk ordered tersely. He dug the muzzle of his gun harder against Dean's neck for emphasis and Sam gritted his teeth. "Or I shoot him."
Dean rolled his eyes. "Could we skip the melodrama?" he asked, irritation plain in his voice. Knowing him, he was less upset about getting mugged than he was about the fact that an ordinary human had got the drop on him. "You are so not the scariest son of a bitch we've had to deal with t-ngh!"
"I'm not asking again," Hawk said, ignoring the way Dean glared as he wiped blood from his lips. He locked eyes with Sam over Dean's shoulder. "Wallets. Now."
And Sam, quite abruptly, had had enough.
"You know what?" he said. "No."
Hawk's eyebrows furrowed. "This isn't a joke, pal."
"Do I look like I'm laughing?" Sam demanded. The anger and frustration that seemed to simmer constantly under his skin rose up hard and fast, ready to show this idiot what happened to people who messed with his brother. "You and your bullshit picked the wrong pair of guys to target tonight. Because my whole fucking life has been one big joke and I? Am God damn sick of it."
"Well, that's too bad," Hawk shot back. "Cause now you've got about ten seconds to apologize to your friend for getting him killed."
His grip tightened on the gun.
"No," Sam said, and it was so much more than just a word. Power coiled inside him, viscous and dark and so easy that Sam couldn't help but shake his head that it had taken him so long to come to this. All that time, wasted.
Hawk froze in the act of pulling the trigger, as surely as if Sam had turned him to stone.
"Sam," Dean said warningly. "What are you doing?"
"Shut up, Dean," Sam said, and smirked at the shock on Dean's face when his voice abruptly vanished.
Hawk's eyes were wide, sweat running down his face as he tried to compel his frozen limbs to obey him.
"I've been having a really shitty year so far," Sam told him, almost conversationally. "We let the devil out of Hell, you see, and now we've got all of Heaven and Hell on our asses, trying to make us help them cause the apocalypse."
Hawk was starting to look properly frightened - and like he thought Sam was crazy - but Sam hardly noticed.
"That's only the tip of the iceberg. You know what we were doing before you showed up? Hunting vampires. Total pain in the ass to get rid of. And Dean nearly got himself killed again - don't make that face, jackass, yes, you damn well did. Do you know what it's like, going through life fully expecting to watch your brother die before the end of every day? Bullshit, is what it is.
And then, to make things even worse, you come along and decide to mug us, which doesn't even make any sense. I mean, look at us!" Sam flung his arms wide. "Do we look like easy marks? The hell were you thinking?"
Hawk let out a small whimper of distress.
"I've had enough," Sam said, with what he thought was admirable calm. "Enough of supernatural creatures trying to control our lives, enough of hunting things and enough of saving selfish people like you from a fate you all deserve."
'Sam,' Dean mouthed, dismay written all over his face.
Not that Sam cared. "No, Dean. Fuck him and fuck the whole human race. The angels and demons want a change in the world order? Well, I'll give it to them." Sam smiled and it made Hawk pale. "And you can be damn sure that they're not going to like it."
A negligent twist of Sam's hand snapped Hawk's neck; he collapsed in a twitching pile, gun clattering uselessly to the ground.
"You okay?" Sam asked Dean, giving him back his voice with a wave.
Dean stared at him, looking somewhere between dazed and terrified.
"Dean?" Sam pressed.
"Who the hell pissed in your cheerios?" Dean blurted. "Jesus Christ, Sam."
Sam chuckled. "Come on, Dean," he said, threading a touch of compulsion through the words. Because Dean was almost certainly going to want to fight about this and Sam just didn't have the energy to deal with that right now. "Let's get back to the motel. We'll both get a good night's sleep and then, in the morning, we're taking this war into our own hands."
"Okay, Sammy," Dean said, and let Sam lead him back to the Impala.

Class 4 NICs: structure from 6 April 2003: general
National Insurance Contributions Act 2002
Income Tax (Trading and Other Income) Act 2005 (ITTOIA)
Major changes were made to the structure of Class 4 NICs from 6 April 2003.
These changes were put into effect by the National Insurance Contributions Act 2002, together with various supporting regulations.
Guidance on these changes can be found at NIM24033 onwards.
The changes affect the amount of Class 4 NICs payable by self-employed earners or earners whose profits or gains are chargeable to income tax under Chapter 2 of Part 2 of ITTOIA, (formerly Case I or II of Schedule D of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988). The change do not disturb any of the existing Class 4 NICs rules covering:
- the date upon which Class 4 NICs are due
- the method used to assess Class 4 NICs liability - a percentage based system
- the starting point at which liability for Class 4 NICs arises or
- the year of assessment, which remains the income tax year for which tax under ITTOIA is payable.
Guidance on:
- those areas of Class 4 NICs liability which are not affected by the changes and
- the structure of Class 4 NICs before 6 April 2003
can be found at NIM24001 onwards.

This series consists of talks in the area of Quantum Gravity.
In causal set quantum gravity, spacetime is assumed to have a fundamental atomicity or discreteness, and is replaced by a locally finite poset, the causal set. After giving a brief review of causal sets, I will discuss two distinct approaches to constructing a quantum dynamics for causal sets. In the first approach one borrows heavily from the continuum to construct a partition function for causal sets.
The concept of renormalization lies at the heart of fundamental physics. I introduce in this talk the Connes-Kreimer algebraic approach for expressing renormalizability in quantum field theories as well as the extension of these notions to the manifestly non-local framework of noncommutative quantum field theories. Finally, I will present an attempt to further generalize these concepts to quantum gravity models. based on: 0909.5631 [gr-qc], Class. Quant. Grav. (in press)
"Extended" topological field theory generalizes ordinary TQFT to include spacetimes with boundary. Starting from a gauge theory of flat G-connections, and its boundary restriction, I will describe a plan for constructing an extended topological field theory, for any compact Lie group G. This is based on work-in-progress with Jeffrey Morton.
It has recently uncovered that the intertwiner space for LQG carries a natural representation of the U(N) unitary group. I will describe this U(N) action in details and show how it can be used to compute the LQG black hole entropy, to define coherent intertwiner states and to reformulate the LQG dynamics in new terms.
15 years ago Ishibashi, Kawai and collaborators developed non-critical string field theory, starting with the formalism of dynamical triangulations. The same construction can be repeated using causal dynamical triangulations, and in this case one can actually sum explicitly over all genera. The theory can be viewed as stochastic quantization of space, proper (world sheet) time playing the role of stochastic time.
Path integral formulations for gauge theories must start from the canonical formulation in order to obtain the correct measure. A possible avenue to derive it is to start from the reduced phase space formulation. We review this rather involved procedure in full generality. Moreover, we demonstrate that the reduced phase space path integral formulation formally agrees with the Dirac's operator constraint quantisation and, more specifically, with the Master constraint quantisation for first class constraints.
The asymptotic formula for the Ponzano-Regge model amplitude is given for non-tardis triangulations of handlebodies in the limit of large boundary spins. The formula produces a sum over all possible immersions of the boundary triangulation in three dimensional Euclidean space weighted by the cosine of the Regge action evaluated on these immersions. Furthermore the asymptotic scaling registers the existence of flexible immersions.
The scaling analysis in the large spin limit of Feynman amplitudes for the Bosonic colored group field theory are considered in any dimension starting with dimension 4. By an explicit integration of two colors, we show that the model is positive. This formulation could be useful for the constructive analysis of this type of models.
Spin foam models aim at defining non-perturbative and background independent amplitudes for quantum gravity. In this work, I argue that the dynamics and the geometric properties of spin foam models can be nicely studied using recursion relations. In 3d gravity and in the 4d Ooguri model, the topological invariance leads to recursion relations for the amplitudes. I also derive recursions from the action of holonomy operators on spin network functionals.
After implementing an effective minimal length, we will present a new class of spacetimes, describing both neutral and charged black holes. As a result, we will improve the conventional Schwarzschild and Reisner-Nordstroem spacetimes, smearing out their singularities at the origin. On the thermodynamic side, we will show how the new black holes admit a maximum temperature, followed by the ``SCRAM phase'', a thermodynamic stable shut down, characterized by a positive black hole heat capacity.

Problem solving
Workshops, facilitation, consultation, comms…
Much of my work is about problem solving – either me doing it or helping my client to do it. Assignments are rarely scoped out in fine detail at the start, with all activity clearly defined at that stage. Rather, they evolve and, along with it, my role as a consultant needs to change. Consequently, I have developed several techniques that can be brought into play. These can used as part of a project or commissioned as an assignment in their own right.
Since founding Greenhill Consulting in 2002, I have periodically been asked to design and run workshops for a range of business-related purposes. Examples include 2-day workshops about how to start a business, short workshops on marketing and business planning, and even short courses on basic IT skills.
Apart from being a specific service that I offer, workshop design and delivery, together with presentation skills, are valuable attributes I can apply to my other services when required.
Presentations and websites
It's important to be able to formulate business messages and present them in a graphical way to help create understanding and clarity. Throughout my career I have developed and delivered presentations for a variety of reasons: major corporate events, internal briefings, project planning sessions etc. My experience covers content development, design, creation and delivery using Powerpoint and video as well as mind mapping software and cloud-based tools like Prezi.
Whilst I don't claim to be a website developer, sometimes an assignment calls for a web presence, in which case I can quickly put together a rudimentry website such as the interim one I designed for the 4SX consortium. I prepared all of the copy and illustrations in this example.
Strategic planning in a business environment is usually a collective process involving several people. Someone external to the business, faciltating a planning session, can release the full potential of the management group to progress the planning process and and identify solutions. This ensures the organisation responds effectively to changing requirements and environments in the easiest and most effective way.
Marketing communication and PR
Marketing and communication are cornerstones of any business plan, whether for organisations in the private or not-for-profit sectors. As a qualified marketer and marcomms manager with many years experience, I can offer both marketing planning and execution. My background includes running teams producing a range of marketing collateral; managing a corporate function responsible for internal and external comms, CSR and community relations; and working in local authority press offices.
Although photography is not a discrete service that I offer, my background as a professional photographer and lecturer in photography has proved to be an advantage in delivering several assignments.

Crypto DEX. Powered on NEO.
The Aphelion solution allows users to trade cryptocurrency in a totally decentralized and trustless environment. Our Distributed Exchange Asset Ledger (D.E.A.L.) decentralized application (DApp) eliminates any third party or central authority.
Aphelion ends: high fees, delays, frozen funds, locked trades and hijacked tokens. All Aphelion initiated trades are done directly on-chain or cross-chain and directly between users with terms they set, accept and complete themselves. As a bonus, APH tokens spent during P2P trading are automatically redistributed to all APH token holders; similar to the NEO/GAS relationship. Aphelion is not a hosted exchange, it never holds or stores tokens and is totally open source, community driven and most importantly: DECENTRALIZED.
Join Aphelion in our giant leap forward in the evolution of cryptocurrency trading.Go To DEX
NEO supports faster development and deployment of smart contracts and projects, as it enables developers to build on programming languages already familiar with them.
We provide various advanced languages in the form of compiler," says Da Hongfei (NEO founder).
"Besides .Net and Java, we support Python and Go which can cover more than 90 percent of developers. Compared with Ethereum, development has a smooth learning curve and shorter learning circle, allowing for fast introduction of projects."
Efficiency POW on ASIC machines uses vast amounts of energy

It can often be beneficial to collect advice on overcoming challenges from those who have encountered similar issues before. In this post, some of us here at the Cengage Learning Blog share our memories of taking summer courses, and reflect on the challenges we faced and how we kept ourselves motivated despite distractions.
We're sharing what we learned about taking summer courses, but what did you learn the first time you taught a summer course that you'd like to share? Start the conversation below.
I attended school at Northeastern University, which is well known for having a cooperative education program. The program allows students to gain real-world knowledge in the field via an internship. Because of this, many students attend school during the summer months. My last year in school I wanted to graduate early, therefore I took four classes during the summer months, while working my full-time job. The distractions were rampant, especially because I went to school in the heart of the Boston. The beaches and Fenway Park were calling my name each day, but instead I felt stuck in a hot, dark classroom. It was hard to convince myself to attend class, let alone complete any homework. We had one week off during the summer semester, and that felt like the quickest week of my life. I counted down the days and often looked at my planner to see when I would be free from school.
Staying on course and motivated during the entire summer semester was a challenge. It was even more difficult because once I finished those four courses I was officially done with college. The most important tactic I employed was planning my time accordingly. That summer there was absolutely no time to waste, so I had to be very organized and my planner was my best friend. I made sure that I scheduled all early classes so that I would get up and start my day, which added a couple of hours to my daily life.
Also, make sure to still have fun during the summer months. I tried to always be on top of my classwork, so that if someone invited me out to the beach I wouldn't have to say no. I always carried my textbooks and a highlighter around with me to get ahead on class reading. Additionally, I tried to do as much work as possible outside in the nice weather. Writing a paper or reading your class text doesn't seem quite so bad when you're outside basking in the sunlight!
Like Lindsy, I chose to complete during a summer term the last two courses I needed in order to graduate. Although looking back years later, I'm sure I was more dramatic about it than need be, I would say I was feeling a mix of two summer-school symptoms. First, I wanted to be enjoying my summer like everyone else (at least at this time no one was sharing Facebook and Twitter pics of their trips to the beach — that would have made it tougher!), and second, all of my friends had gone back home for the summer and it felt a bit lonely on campus — feeling sorry for myself wasn't going to help me get motivated!So what did? I kept in mind that these last two courses weren't any different as far as my overall success in college went, and that in order to keep up my GPA and not let myself down, I needed to be just as serious about them as I would be about any of the courses I'd taken. I was, after all, going to be seeking my first "real job" shortly. What better reason to stay serious about my academic goals? I also made up my mind to make the best of it. It wasn't as if anyone was forcing me to be there — I made the choice to enroll in those particular courses when I did. When I went into class with that attitude and participated, it honestly made all the difference.

Scripps School of Journalism at Ohio University.
I never attended summer courses during my undergraduate years; I enjoyed school and studied hard, but I didn't want the pressure of learning an entire term's worth of content within a condensed period of time. Besides, even though I had a part-time job, I was still used to the K-12 rhythm of "summers off," and the idea of sitting in a classroom after studying intensely for the stretch of January through June held very little appeal.
Ten or so years later, I enrolled in a Masters of Library and Information Science program while working full time. Like many students (graduate or undergraduate), I had hoped that taking a summer course would shorten the overall amount of time I'd need to spend in school. At that point in my matriculation, I hadn't yet completed my prerequisite courses. I knew that I didn't want to take one of those intense prereqs in a condensed format, and most of the other available courses required completion of that sequence. Fortunately, the option of a practical and enjoyable-sounding Interpersonal Communication class had no prereqs and was still open. I recognized that such a course could apply to my current job and count toward my credit hours. In addition to the online coursework, four days of on-campus class sessions were required, which seemed like a great opportunity within a primarily online program.
Overall, I enjoyed my experience, and fully engaged in the learning process. The content was ideal for a summer course: weighty enough to matter in daily life, yet lighthearted enough that I never felt burdened by the coursework. The interactive and social aspect of the class made it fun — after all, it was Interpersonal Communication! Plus, I met a number of people who were nearing the end of the program; their advice and support helped me know what to expect out of the most grueling courses I'd face. Given that I'd taken vacation time to drive down to the school and attend the class sessions, it really did feel like "time off." And, as it turned out, that class was my last opportunity to take a hybrid course — not long afterward, the program went 100% online.
On the down side, I didn't really save much time overall. If I'd simply taken two courses each term without that summer course, I still would have graduated at the same time. Even so: given all that I learned, and the chances I had to meet and interact with fellow students in person, I have no regrets. It reinforced my basic belief that you should take any and all educational opportunities where you can, because you never know if you'll have that same choice again.

in Firenze since 1369
The Official Historic Shop Torrini 1369, since the end of 1800, is located in the monumental center of Florence,
right in Piazza Duomo. It reflects the heritage of the Torrini Goldsmith Lineage and offers
the public the first contact with the collections that over time, until now, have constituted and constitute its identity
as a testimony of a journey dedicated to the goldsmith's art and its forms. Jewelry, Silverware, Watches and Accessories.
The Torrini Museum is the site of the history of an art housing over 100 artworks of goldsmithery, silverware, objets d'art, and watches realised by the Torrini family and which bear the ancient trademark: the unmistakable Signum that was deposited by Jacopus Turini with the Guild of Armourers, Blacksmiths of Florence in 1369 and is currently conserved in the State Archives. This ancient trademark, which has been handed down for more than six centuries and is engraved on every Torrini manufacture, guarantees us a reliable attribution of the various exemplars and a very important dating of the various passages that this family has left in its work between the late 14th century and the artistic vanguards linked to the ferments of 1980s.

|What is Recreational Soccer?
It's the Player's Game
|Now what does "recreational soccer" mean?
So you have heard the term before, but do you really know what "recreational soccer" is? There are no legal definitions, no US Youth Soccer rules, policies or regulations. One of the most often used terms is one of the least defined. Soccer has created a new meaning for the word recreation and the word recreational.
US Youth Soccer does offer a partial definition in its "Policy on Players and Playing Rules" in the definitions section when it states:
"recreational league" means an intraclub league in which—
However the section head note states that "… the … definitions are suggested for use by State Associations to facilitate communication and understanding among them..."
Each state association has its own definition and implementation but there are common perceptions of what people mean when they refer to recreational soccer.
Let us look at those perceptions.
Some common perceptions of recreational soccer are:
Recreational soccer is defined in the common mind by what it is not and not what it is. A similar situation exists in the definition of amateur versus professional athletes

Sunday was the big finale as far as scheduling goes but a pretty barren night as far as the actual schedule. With only ten shows to choose from, my decision was obvious: Dillinger Escape Plan.
SputnikMusic and its staff have been drooling over Dillinger Escape Plan's new album, Option Paralysis, since we got our promo copy a few weeks back. Having been a huge fan of the band through their first two albums and the Irony is a Dead Scene EP, but also having been majorly let down by Ire Works, I was endlessly excited to see Dillinger. It was also somewhat of an anniversary for me, since I hadn't seen them for about 6 years when I watched them destroy the now-defunct Rockit club about a week before Miss Machine came out. But Dillinger was just one of four bands listed on the bill, the others being Animals as Leaders, Iwrestledabearonce and Darkest Hour.
Waiting for Animals as Leaders to set-up it became very clear pretty quickly that, uh, they weren't. Doors to the Opera House were at 7 and at around 730 I saw some instruments being shuffled about and drums being set up, but it wasn't Animals as Leaders. Instead Iwrestledabearonce was opening and, as suspected, they later announced that Animals as Leaders couldn't make it. I guess they had a problem crossing the border.
Iwrestledabearonce are a band with a clearcut gimmick, their off-the-wall aesthetic and shtick made no more evident than with their "Metal just got gay" t-shirt and their drummer's decision to yell "Excitebike! Nintendo! Syphillis" throughout their sound check (the Excitebike theme was playing in the background). The juvenile sensibilities carried through into their set, which finally started at 8 when Krysta Cameron, wearing a Gizmo (of Gremlins fame) costume, waltzed on stage. She was immediately the band's main attraction: standing at no more than five feet tall and next to their nine-foot tall guitarist, Cameron was a bundle of epileptic energy. She screamed, shrieked, growled and even sung as the child's costume she wore shook and fluttered. At times she'd stand still and twitch, her seizure-like motions mimicking the bands herky-jerky melodies. I'm not big on what she does but she did it well: her shrieks were high and piercing, her growls surprisingly low, and her cleans, while a little shouty, were still apt. And on a purely technical level the band followed suit, it's just the bands gimmicks, of which there was no shortage, were too overbearing in the end.
After opening their set with the first bit of Europe's "The Final Countdown", Iwrestledabearonce went into spazz mode, blurring through a bundle of forgettable metalcore tracks buzzing with tech-y shredding, stop-starty rhythms and novelty interludes (like when they incorporated the Inspector Gadget song into one of their breakdowns).
As is pretty much always the case with opening acts they had some sound issues. The drums sounded great, but as one fan yelled "turn up the tall guy!" between songs, the guitars were hardly loud enough. Performing with energy, Iwrestledabearonce did everything they could to win the crowd over and they did so with relative success. Onlookers were intrigued by what they were seeing done on the guitars (even if they couldn't hear it) and more than a few fans were amused by Mike Martin's dance moves as he salsa-danced and shook his hips through a bunch of uninteresting, barely audible bass licks. Perhaps the most paradoxical thing about their set, and the band as a whole I suppose, is that they're at their strongest when they streamline their sound. Of their entire set it's their slower, more controlled moments that really seemed to capture the audience's attention; it's not that they should compromise their heaviness, which they rarely did, but it's that they had a surprising knack for melodies that were too often lost in the spastic fray. "The tall guy" on guitar, otherwise known as Steven Bradley, was as frenetic on the guitar as he was lanky—and he was really fucking lanky, but he better showcased his abilities in evolving guitar-passages that climaxed in something special rather than non-stop spider-fingering.
Up next was Darkest Hour, who immediately overwhelmed the audience with their veteran presence. Unlike Iwrestledabearonce they were pretty still on stage and yet they carried an unbelievable presence with them. They had that quality you can't describe but know is there: it's like when a band plays a full venue and it sounds empty and then the next one comes on and it's like you're seeing them in a sweaty, packed basement. That's the atmosphere Darkest Hour give out. Well, that and the fact that frontman John Henry is pretty damn bossy. After opening with "Sound the Surrender" (and therefore wasting no time to showcase their guitarists ability to shred in unison), Henry introduced "Sadist Nation" as their next song and immediately demanded that the crowd get a circle pit going, which they did, but Henry wasn't done with the orders. Before playing "Demon(s)", Henry told the crowd to sing along and for their fourth song he upped the ante, demanding that the circle pit from earlier on be stretched "wall to wall". Before playing "The Tides" he asked for a "proper fucking heavy metal mosh pit" and before "This Will Outlive Us" he said "this song starts with a guitar solo so I want to see you guys party". Lastly, he encouraged the crowd to "spark that shit" if they had it before introducing "Into the Grey".
The band knew what they were doing in demanding the attention of the crowd. Asking for their enthusiasm ensured the band the flexibility to perform without the pressure of jumping around like a bunch of 20 year old kids, allowing them to focus on performing their songs as intended. Their set-list was a surprising balance of old as new: reaching as far back as Hidden Hands of a Sadist Nation, they seemed intent on giving their fans new and old something to enjoy. There was also a tight balance between their more unrelenting speedy moments and their mid-paced tracks. The main success of their time on stage was without question the work of guitarists Mike Carrigan and Mike Schleibaum, who traded solos and harmonies with endless energy and remarkable precision. "Doomsayer", a personal favourite of mine, was especially well executed.
Finally the band everyone came to see (well, except one fan who I ran into while, uh, pissing, who kept insisting that he only came to see Animals as Leaders) was up and they wasted no time in hitting the audience right in their proverbial face. Opening with "Good Neighbor" off of Option Paralysis, Dillinger were immediate in asserting their power over the crowd who seemed mostly unfamiliar with the song but noticeably impressed by the band's return to their more chaotic roots. Things got more familiar by the second song ("Panasonic Youth") and in turn frontman and part-time Incredible Hulk Greg Puciato amped his intensity up to another level. Towards the song's climax, Puciato decided he was going to jump into the crowd, something he does often. There was a hiccup: his microphone's cord was caught on something. Of course that didn't stop Greg as he ran full speed and lept over the stage's barricade. What happened instead was Greg ended up ripping the cord in half as he jumped. A feat of strength, sure, but it left the song without vocals for it's last minute and as a result it felt a little empty.
It looked a little empty, too, since the band was having trouble with their stage-lights. Instead of the barrage of flashing strobes most fans were expecting, the first few songs of their set were dimly lit.
Throughout "Fix Your Face", one of the few non-duds on 2007's Ire Works, Dillinger's only remaining "original" member Ben Weinman decided it would be a great idea to swing his guitar, one handed, over his head. He stopped (if only for the song) when his guitar was just inches from clipping Greg Puciato's head. He may be huge, but a guitar to the face would probably really, really hurt regardless of how many babies he probably eats for breakfast.
After rushing through the massively bland "Milk Lizard" and the consistently overwhelming "Sugar Coated Sour" they kicked into another new one ("Chinese Whispers") which was mostly lost on the audience, but unlike "Good Neighbor", which succeeded regardless of familiarity thanks to its complex instrumentation, "Chinese Whispers" is arguably the weakest song off of the new album and is only saved by it's overpowering hook ("Every second is passing by so fast, every thing that you cling to will not last") but without the crowd's interaction on the song it felt a little hollow. Guitarist Jeff Tuttle spent much of the song doing high kicks, which I guess were supposed to get the crowd going, but its slower tempo ultimately meant the band had to hold back from their usual stage performance, something that was surprisingly true of their night as a whole. Maybe it's the line-up changes or the accumulated injuries but they were much tamer than the last time I saw them. Either that or the fact that their set-list was pretty awful. It was great to hear a track off of Irony is a Dead Scene ("When Good Dogs do Bad Things", which was incredible live), but as you can no doubt read I make no secrets about my displeasure towards Ire Works, so you can imagine my disappointment when their setlist ended up consisting of five tracks off of their polarizing 2007 release. Two of the ones they chose, "Fix Your Face" and "Lurch" aren't bad songs but "Milk Lizard" and "Black Bubblegum" are mediocre mid-tempo rockers and "Mouth of Ghosts" is long, boring and uneventful.
Of course when I say tame I'm speaking relatively: in addition to ripping cords in half and swinging guitars over their heads, Ben and Greg spent time climbing amps and jumping in and out of the crowd.
After "Black Bubblegum" and before they played "Sunshine the Werewolf" Greg made mention to the show I keep referencing when, in 2004, they played two sold out shows in a row at the now defunct Rockit club. Since that show was about a week before Miss Machine came out, Greg was surprised when the crowd knew the lyrics to a song that had not yet been released ("Sunshine the Werewolf"). It was a natural segue into the track which was not only the highlight of their set, of the night, but of Canadian Music Fest as a whole. As the song approached its natural climax ("Destroyer! There'll be another just like you!") Ben was looking for something to wreck or jump off of, which he found in the stack of amps that bookend each side of the stage. Measuring at probably a good 15 to 20 feet up it was a bit of a climb but nothing Ben couldn't handle and as the song hit his climax he lept back onto the stage. It's a huge drop and I'm sure he paid for it the next morning: it also might explain why Jeff Tuttle had the knees of his pants padded with duct-tape…or maybe not. Regardless it seemed to give Ben the ability to blow off some steam: not just him, either, but also the two goons who decided to start a fight in the pit midway through the song.
New drummer Bill Rymer, who may or may not have hit puberty yet, is a great addition to the band. He's no Chris Pennie, but thankfully he's no Gil Sharone, either: Sharone was great, but he's marred with the distinction of ruining every album he plays on inspite of the fact that he's an incredible drummer (Ire Works sucked and Stolen Babies suck). Rymer is a balance between Pennie's spastic exuberance and Sharone's more calculated, rhythmic style and as the extended drum solo in "Weekend Sex Change" showed, he's more than capable of filling the shoes of two pretty respected drummers.
"43% Burnt" was the penultimate tune and it was as powerful as ever, culminating with Greg jumping foot-and-ass first (basically imagine him sitting on a chair, only get rid of the chair and have him flying through the air into the pit). Their set ended with "Farewell Mona Lisa" and the visual of Ben running up and down the amps before jumping back-first (guitar in hand) into the crowd. Ending with a staple of both their performances and their discography, but it wasn't quite enough to make me forgive what was a pretty disappointing set list. The set itself was great in spite of some of their song choices but it wasn't what I expected. Either way it's still a Dillinger Escape Plan show and as with my commentary on "tameness", "disappointing" is relative: they were and are really fucking good live and have gotten considerably tighter over the years (of course that happens when you turn over guitarists and drummers seemingly every six months).

Welcome to Pathways Counseling
Grief and Loss • Major/Terminal Illness Counseling • Caregiver Support • Life Transitions
Every person experiences periods of major transition in life. A transitional phase may begin with the loss of a loved one, a divorce, a significant change in health, or any of the myriad of challenging circumstances that life presents. Engaging a Transitions Coach during this time is a kind way to support yourself and can be of tremendous value as you navigate forward through change.
As a Transitions Coach, I serve in the "in-between space" for clients who want the structure, professionalism, and confidentiality of a professional counselor but do not need formal psychotherapy.
As a Transitions Coach, I serve in the "in-between space" for clients who want the structure, professionalism, and confidentiality of a professional counselor but do not need formal psychotherapy.
"Some changes look negative on the surface, but you will soon realize that space is being created in your life for something new to emerge." ~Eckhart Tolle
A Transitions Coach is a helping professional with a primary focus on providing support and guidance for people who are navigating major life transitions.
Periods of transition may include:
• Grieving the loss of a loved one
• Navigating thoughtfully through the dying process
• Major changes in health
• Divorce, separation, or change in relationship status
• A crisis of faith or a period of deep spiritual growth
• Any circumstance which requires adaptation and reorientation to a new life situation
Transitions coaching is not intended for treatment of mental illness or mental health issues, but is ideal for high-functioning people who would like a compassionate coach to companion them through a period of major change or transition. I work in cooperation with the mental health community and may assist with referrals to mental health professionals as needed.
Transitions coaching is provided on an individual basis, within group settings, or using telephone or Skype communication when in-person meetings are not possible. In addition to empathetic listening and conversation, the coaching process may include a variety of activities such as journaling, directed reading, guided meditations, or other creative forms of self-discovery and expression.
We Make the Path by Walking
I have chosen "we make the path by walking" as the guiding theme for my practice because it speaks to the necessity of moving forward even in the absence of clarity. The phrase comes from a poem by Spanish poet Antonio Machado. In the poem, Machado says, "Caminante, no hay camino. Se hace camino al andar!" which translates, "Traveler, there is no path. We make the path by walking." This phrase guides my work because transitions coaching functions best when it provides not only empathetic and caring support, but also clear, direct, and practical action steps for navigating through the transition space. Working together, we will make the path which will guide you forward with integrity and wholeness.
Let's begin...
