Prayer is communication between God and His people. The Bible encourages us to pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18). We do not need a kneeling position in order to pray. We can pray throughout every activity of our day.
When we do, we find that we are communicating with God's Spirit on the best way to perform the task at hand. We walk in the Spirit rather than in the flesh, and we find our self in the center of God's will all day long.
Miracles happen when we pray. Joshua prayed for the sun to stand still so the Israelites could win the battle, and God did just that. Gideon prayed for the animal skin to be wet and then dry, and God used that prayer to confirm His call on Gideon's life.
Daniel prayed and the angel Gabriel appeared in less than three minutes as an answer to that prayer. But another time Daniel prayed, and due to spiritual warfare, it took weeks before the angel was able to deliver his answer (Daniel 10:12).
Satan attempts to hinder the answers to our prayers; but Matthew reminds us that everyone who asks receives, those who seek will find; and if we knock, God will open every door that we need in order to perform His will for our life (Matthew 7:8).
God always answers prayers, even if His answer is "wait" or "no"; and we can be assured that His answer has our best interest at heart. With faith in God's faithfulness, nothing can stop us from accomplishing God's will for our life.
Father God, remind us that when we build our life on the rock of Christ, no storm shall prevail against us. We know that even if our enemies fight against us, or if Satan turns out all the demons of hell to stop us, greater is Christ within us than the god of this world (1 John 4:4). You have a perfect plan for our life, and we flourish with success and fulfillment as we walk in Your will (Ephesians 2:10).
We may fight a formidable enemy; but You triumph in every instance by making us overcomers who enjoy the victory of a life spent in Your presence, regardless of where we live or the circumstances around us. Remind us to pray without ceasing and to stand still and wait on Your salvation (Exodus 14:13).
Thought for the Day:
Prayer is not therapy for the soul, but a connection of our spirit to the Spirit of God; prayer transcends human power, wisdom and ability and moves mountains in the spiritual world, and if necessary, in the physical world as well.

My biggest priority is to nail down some more PhD interviews with children's and YA authors for my thesis data collection. But while I'm there, I'm going to enjoy it in a writerly capacity, too. There are so many great exhibitors and seminars, and I just can't wait.

Make the next move in your treatment journey and start a conversation with your healthcare team about ALPROLIX. Considering a switch to ALPROLIX? We have a downloadable discussion guide to help you confidently ask the right questions and get the answers you need to make the choice that's right for you.
If you're already on ALPROLIX, we have info to help you, too.
We've put together a helpful guide that can help you make the most out of your next doctor's appointment. Have a productive conversation about the direction you want to take your treatment:
Make sure you're prepared with any questions you need answered.
Know why you're thinking of switching to ALPROLIX, and write that on your guide as well.
Remember, be your own advocate.
There are terms your doctor might use when discussing treatment, terms you should be acquainted with before you get there.
Extended Half-life
There are hemophilia therapies available designed to extend the half-life of the medicine in your body. ALPROLIX was designed this way to allow for fewer infusions with extended protection from bleeds.
Fc FUSION
While some proteins can be broken down very quickly, research shows Fc Fusion allows ALPROLIX to use your body's natural pathway to recycle and recirculate in the bloodstream longer.
Annual Spontaneous Bleed Rates
Internal and external bleeding episodes that occur without an obvious cause are called spontaneous bleeds. The number of these bleeds that a person with hemophilia gets in a year is referred to as their Annual Spontaneous Bleed Rate or AsBR. People infusing prophylactically with ALPROLIX have been shown to experience a median of 1 AsBR per year.
When your doctor agrees that a switch to ALPROLIX is right for you, your recommended starting dosing schedule will more than likely be 7 or 10 days. ALPROLIX is the only Factor IX treatment with two starting doses: 50 IU/kg every 7 days or 100 IU/kg every 10 days. But ask your doctor about extending. You may be able to work with him or her to extend your dosing schedule to 14 days or longer*.
*54% of people in the individualized prophy arm extended to ≥14-day dosing. The overall median dosing interval on study was 12.5 days. The median interval during the last six months in 26 subjects who were on study for at least nine months was 13.8 days.
Children under 12 years of age may have higher Factor IX body weight-adjusted clearance, shorter half-life, and lower recovery. Higher dose per kilogram body weight or more frequent dosing may be needed.
It's not uncommon to experience a period of adjustment when transitioning to a different hemophilia therapy. You may have had a breakthrough bleed. Or you may wonder if it's possible to extend your dosing schedule. Whatever your reason, it's important to work any issues out with your doctor. That's why we've provided a few of the more common situations that could come up as thought starters to get the conversation going.
• If you've experienced a bleed since you started on ALPROLIX, talk to your doctor. There are many reasons bleeds can happen. One of these reasons may be a sign that you may need an adjustment to your dosing schedule to maintain proper protection. In the clinical trial patients experienced a median of 1 or fewer spontaneous bleed per year
• Keep a log of any breakthrough bleeds you experience and show it to your doctor at your next appointment.
• The recommended 7-day starting dose is 50 IU/kg while the recommended 10-day or longer extended dose is 100 IU/kg depending on how your body responds. In children under 12 years of age the recommended starting regimen is 60 IU/kg once weekly.
• ALPROLIX has been shown effective in treating breakthrough bleeds.
• Always talk to your doctor about changes in your life or what you're planning to change.
• Your ALPROLIX dosing regimen should fit your individual needs so your doctor may adjust your dosing schedule to make sure you're protected from bleeds*.
• Your factor regimen is based on your body's weight and metabolism. So your doctor may need to adjust your ALPROLIX dosage or schedule depending on lifestyle changes.
• Extending your dosing schedule may be possible: More than half of the people who started on every 10-day dosing regimen at 100 IU/kg extended to 14 days or longer between infusions in the clinical trial†. You will need to work with your doctor to extend. Before meeting with your doctor write down your current ALPROLIX schedule, track your infusions and take note of any bleeds so you can bring those to your visit.
• At your visit, talk about how you and your doctor feel it's going on ALPROLIX. Discuss what an ideal extended dosing schedule would be for you, extending will typically include a dose adjustment to 100 IU/kg.
• It is not uncommon to feel different when changing your dosing regimen. It's important that you don't make any dosing changes on your own during this transition period. Always work with your doctor. Be sure to tell your doctor about it.
• It may take time to adjust to a different dosing regimen. It's important to follow your doctor's instructions during this period.
• Regular check-ins will help your doctor assure an effective transition to ALPROLIX.
*ALPROLIX has been proven to help patients prevent bleeding episodes using a prophylaxis regimen.
†54% of people in the individualized prophy arm extended to ≥14-day dosing. The overall median dosing interval on study was 12.5 days. The median interval during the last six months in 26 subjects who were on study for at least nine months was 13.8 days.

indications and important facts about alprolix
What is the most important information i should know about ALPROLIX® [Coagulation Factor IX (Recombinant), Fc Fusion Protein]? You should not use ALPROLIX if you are allergic to ALPROLIX or any of the other ingredients in ALPROLIX. Tell your healthcare provider if you have had an allergic reaction to any Factor IX product prior to using ALPROLIX.
Allergic reactions may occur. Call your healthcare provider or get emergency treatment right away if you have any of the following symptoms: hives, chest tightness, wheezing, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face.
ALPROLIX may increase the risk of forming abnormal blood clots in your body, especially if you have risk factors for developing blood clots. Call your healthcare provider or seek emergency care if you have symptoms of a possible abnormal blood clot, which may include: chest pain, difficulty breathing, unexpected swelling of an arm or leg with or without pain or tenderness.
Your body can also make antibodies called "inhibitors" against ALPROLIX, which may stop ALPROLIX from working properly. Your healthcare provider may need to test your blood for inhibitors from time to time.
THE MOST COMMON SIDE EFFECTS OF ALPROLIX INCLUDE: headache, abnormal sensation in the mouth, and pain in your side with blood in your urine, which may be a sign of clot formation in the urinary collecting system. These are not all the possible side effects of ALPROLIX. Talk to your healthcare provider for more information and about any side effect that bothers you or does not go away.
Tell your healthcare provider about all your health conditions, including if you:
If your bleeding is not controlled and you experience a lack of clinical response to Factor IX therapy, call your healthcare provider right away.
Medicines are sometimes prescribed for purposes other than those listed here. Do not use ALPROLIX for a condition for which it was not prescribed. Do not share ALPROLIX with other people, even if they have the same symptoms that you have.
ALPROLIX is an injectable medicine that is used to help control and prevent bleeding in people with hemophilia B. Hemophilia B is also called congenital Factor IX deficiency.
Your healthcare provider may give you ALPROLIX when you have surgery.
ALPROLIX should be administered as ordered by your healthcare provider. You should be trained on how to do infusions by your healthcare provider. Many people with hemophilia B learn to infuse ALPROLIX by themselves or with the help of a family member. See the booklet called "Instructions for Use" packaged in your ALPROLIX for directions on infusing ALPROLIX. If you are unsure of the procedure, please ask your healthcare provider.
Please read this information carefully before using ALPROLIX and each time you get a refill, as there may be new information. This information does not take the place of talking with your healthcare provider about your medical condition or your treatment.
The risk information provided here is not comprehensive. To learn more, talk about ALPROLIX with your healthcare provider or pharmacist.

Just a very quick note ------
Went to the ENT. Stated that Miles still has fluid on his ears, has had too many ear infections. The fluid is not just "fluid" but the consistency of jello. This will not clear up on its own and will lead to permanent hearing loss. So, he will be getting tubes in his ears Thursday, April 10th at 7:30am. I know it is not a big deal and is a very easy surgery, but I am still a little freaked out.

Weekend in Chicago
We had a fabulous last 4 days!!! Wednesday, we left the boys with Mimi and Grandpa (Wednesday and Thursday nights) and flew to Chicago. Eric had a training class on Thursday and Friday. I got to sleep (at least until 5am when Eric had wake-up calls to our room so he could work .... ARRRRRGGGGHHHHHH!), read, hang with our youngest niece, Emi and my sis-in-law Kim, eat, eat, eat, shop a little and have a great time recharging!
We had no real agenda, except for a list of foods/restaurants we (ok, I) wanted while we were there -- yummy italian food (check), deep dish pizza (check), "toast" (our favorite breakfast place-check), ice cream from Annettes (oops - missed that one - it was closed last night when we went by after dinner). Oh well... next time we'll be sure and visit 2 times to make up for the miss this time! :)
The weather was SO cold, windy and it even "thunder-snowed" on Thursday. Crazy snow blowing off the lake, could not even see the road from our room on the 31st floor!! Plus, it was thundering at the same time. Very bizarre happenings!
The boys stayed with Nana and Papa Friday and Saturday. Mason did great about being consistent with his potty training (only one accident that I heard about - thank you God for this amazing turn of events!!). They both slept better than they did when we went away in October. Miles made huge improvements in his "walking/cruising". He was taking off around the coffee table like an old pro this evening. He also wants to just hold your hands and walk, walk, walk. Before we left (yes, just 4 days ago), you really had to pull him along to get his feet moving. Today, he was off and I had to keep up with him! He also is balancing so much better and is standing on his own for a few seconds at a time. I may be very wrong, but I will be quite shocked if he does not walk by May 1st. I'll (of course) keep you posted and put some pics and video up of him walking.
We go to our first appointment at the ENT tomorrow. Great timing as he still has a runny nose. Hopefully, we will find out something and learn if the fluid that was still on both of his ears about 9 days ago (Friday a week ago) dried up or is still there. He did get a second round of antibiotics since it was there and we were going out of town and he is still on that. So, there should not be infection.
Have a great week!

It has been a busy week since I last posted.
Miles - Tuesday night he started a croup-like cough. Wednesday late afternoon started running really high fevers (103.7-104.5). Again. Thursday, took him to the ped and he had another ear infection (only in one ear). High fevers, not eating, throwing up what he did eat. Longggggggg weekend and not much sleep...took him back on Monday and the infection was much worse and in both ears. He lost 1 pound in the last week as well. So, we officially got a referral to an ENT yesterday. We knew it was time and the ped agreed. So, we'll be going in on 3/31 to see what they think if this situation. Please keep Miles in your prayers that the new medication will get rid of these ear infections. On a happy note, Miles is cruising around furniture, hates sitting, just wants to crawl or stand, and loves to "walk" while we are holding onto our hands. He has also stood by himself a few times for several seconds. We are getting closer to having 2 walkers/runners in the house! :)
Mason - Mason is doing great. I think that he is having a little bit of jealousy issues. He had to go with me to 3 ped appointments for Miles in the last 7 days. A lot of attention has been paid to Miles lately, so he is understandably looking for attention and acting out to get it. Seems easy enough to remedy with a little extra TLC. Otherwise, he is happy, healthy (yea!) and a typical 3 year old!

9 mo check-up
Monday was Miles' 9 month well baby check-up. He weighs 20 lbs, 12 oz (45%) and is 30" long (95%)!! I knew he was tall, but I had no idea he was in such a high percentile. His ears were clear from the ear infections last week. Everything else checked out perfectly.
Last night, about 10:45 we awoke to a "barking" cough coming from Miles' room. Yes, I think he has the croup. Once you have had a child with the croup, the sound of the cough is unmistakable. He has no other symptoms (fever, runny nose, congestion, etc) of any illness, just a sudden cough. I am in denial that he might be sick AGAIN! I slept in his room last night because everytime I put him down, he would cry (scream) and his cough intensified. Today, everytime he coughs, he cries afterwards like it hurts him. I don't know if his throat or chest hurts from the cough. Anyone know? It is so much easier when they can just tell you what hurts. Praying for all four of us to be well (especially Miles, poor guy has had it all lately!) and to finally get a good night sleep.

I'm in mourning.....
I am so sad to say goodbye to something sacred to my day for the last 3 years. Mason has officially outgrown his nap. I have been fighting him at naptime to stay in bed, stay quiet, go to sleep, etc for the last several weeks. And, we have started having to fight him at bedtime to stay in bed as well. Most nights, he does not go to sleep until 9PM or after. So, today I put the portable DVD player in his room and instituted "quiet time". He can play, read, watch the video or nap - as long as he stays in his room and stays quiet until mommy comes to get him. So far, it is going well. I am glad, but also so sad to know that 1) he is growing up so quickly and 2) my day just got a little longer. Although, he may go to bed a little earlier tonight. That would be nice!
Ran 3.5 miles this morning. Don't remember the time. I know I was slow though.... some days just are slow days, I guess.

M&M Quirks
I know that everyone has their "quirks", but the boys have been cracking me up lately!
Mason is very "type A" - meaning that he likes things in order and has a tendancy to line up things -- cars, books, toys, etc. Check out this picture -- he did this while I was in the shower, so it was totally his idea, impulse, compulsion.
He lined up cars and trains (and a few helicopters and airplanes) from one end of the den to the other. What 3 year old does that????
Miles has been crawling for a while now like any other normal child. Last night, he started crawling a little differently. Watch this video to see what I mean....

7 mi run
According to our GPS, I ran 7 mi. According to google maps, I ran 7.3 miles. I'll go with google maps! :) 7.3 mi -> 1:27:23
I just ran 7 miles. Wow! It is tempting to think, wow, I am just now over halfway to 13 miles. I have such a long way to go still and only 5 weeks until the run. My head tells me that I should quit training. That I will never be able to run 13 miles, especially with the little training time that I am able to put in during the week. My legs tell me that they are tired right now. My hips say that they hurt and why do I insist on pounding on them. But, my heart is just really, really proud of me. I have never run 7 miles. Next weekend, I will run 8. I am sure that around mile 2-3 I will start thinking I am crazy, why am I doing this, this hurts, etc. But, I have the next 7 days to be proud of myself and enjoy my accomplishment. I have always wanted to run all the way around White Rock Lake (it is approx 9 miles). In 3 weeks, on my 9 mile run, I plan to do just that. Wow.
Hope you have a great day.
PS... happy 32nd birthday to me!!! :)

Season of Bread and Bonfires
We live on the fringe of the woods, a mile's walk from the Bay of Fundy on the North Mountain. Christmas here means a big family trip to the woods to choose a sparse-but-beautiful tree. We're not going to miss the opportunity to build a big roaring fire to sit around. And if you give an Osburn a fire to sit around, she's going to want a snack. Or a full-on meal.
For this occasion, my Mom was bringing baked beans. I wanted to bake brown bread, but with only an hour before the slated trip, that was impossible.
I flipped through a few cookbooks and adapted a beer bread recipe to suit. It's a quick bread, so it only takes about 50 minutes from start to finish. I added molasses and used a bottle of St-Ambroise Apricot Wheat Ale. It baked up to be a very respectable stand in, with the added bonus of fruity, yeasty ale-iciousness. In this season of soups and stews, a loaf of this will fit in very nicely at your next gathering or potluck.
Locally, I think this bread would be equally wonderful made with Propeller's Honey Wheat or Pale Ale, or anything you like (maybe not stout, but you never know!) One more note: the bread disappeared before I could take a picture. Had it lasted, I would have eaten it toasted the next day with a big piece of cheese. It will keep for a few days if given the chance.
Hoppy New Year!!
This time last year: Back to School Pancakes
Molasses and Ale Bread
1 C. Whole Wheat Flour
1 C. All Purpose Flour
1/2 C. Oatmeal
2 T. Baking Powder
1/2 t. Baking Soda
1/2 t. Salt
3 T. Brown Sugar
1/3 C. Molasses
1 341 ml. bottle Beer
Preheat oven to 350°. Butter a loaf pan. In a large bowl, whisk the flours, oats, baking powder, baking soda, brown sugar and salt. Add the molasses and beer and stir until just combined. Scrape into the loaf pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the bread comes out clean. Cool on a rack or wrap in a towel on your way out the door!

I own a business on Ashland Avenue and 79th Street, 7820 South Ashland to be exact. There are many issues with this neighborhood, but the most pressing — from a business standpoint — is that there are not enough people with money to buy things. Thus, the businesses close.
My property is a big one. It was a auto repair facility for the Environmental Protection Agency at one time, then converted to a carwash, and under me it is now getting diversified into a carwash, auto repair store and fast-food stop with a small store. The restaurant was only open for nine months before my manager quit because he just couldn't make any money. We tried Mexican fare with the regular basics like burgers and fries. We did the EBT and SNAP programs.
We saw good days and bad days. We never made enough money to even pay for one employee. My partner worked the place day and night. We got involved in a program that paid for our help, because we gave kids training. The kids were good. They were high school-aged and older. The best workers didn't want to work on the weekends. The bad workers did.
When the program was finished, we did not decide to higher any of them. The money was scarce, so we had to do everything ourselves after that. I, by the way, worked one job during the day, and then I helped out at my business at night. One day, my partner just decided he couldn't wait any longer for better result and left for another job. Even when I offered him the business for free he did not want it. I had to close the restaurant. The auto repair is still operating, as is the carwash.
I never made a dime on this property. The rent from the auto repair and carwash seem to pay all the bills but there is never any money for the property taxes. I am now only there part time until I figure out what to do with the property. Nobody wants to buy a property that does not make enough money. Nobody wants to work for free just to pay taxes. I have big problems here and have even thought about just letting it go to taxes and just walk away. What's the point of all the time and energy if I don't make any money?
There are churches all around me, and it seems like everyone has a not for profit organization. It seems like everyone who is involved in the churches have nice cars. They appear to be making money. The politicians have set up a system where most neighborhoods in the south side and west sides only produce one item — votes. They have set up Special Service Areas in poor neighborhoods, which just rob the local businesses of capital because we now have to pay the SSAs. We have two sets of taxes and I am taxed out.
The religious institutions survive because they produce votes. We are paying for votes with property taxes. Why are there churches in this neighborhood all over the place. Answer: because they make cash and don't have to pay taxes. It must be working because every block has at least one church.
I think that the city should eliminate property taxes in commercial districts for small business owners. Only the franchises can survive in this neighborhood, along with a few specialty stores. There has to be incentive to go in these neighborhoods. Taxes have to go down.

Erin brings top musicians to village venue
Posted on September 25 2011 at 12:33:17 0 comments
Avid readers of our What's On section will have noticed that we've been advertising a series of live music events at Rowney Green Village Hall – with some surprisingly big names from the acoustic roots scene appearing at the intimate venue.
The fact that internationally acclaimed musicians such as Phil Beer and Steve Knightley are playing to crowds in a tiny Worcestershire village is testament to the determination and downright cheek of 23-year-old Erin Green, proving once and for all that if you don't ask, you don't get.
Erin, who lives in Redditch but went to playgroup at Rowney Green Village Hall before attending school in Alvechurch, set up her own music promotions company at the start of this year, having quit university in order to follow her dream of working with her favourite bands.
And already she has attracted a great response from locals as well as from artists keen to perform.
Erin describes the events that led to her new career as "a mid-life crisis!" She was in her first year at Birmingham University (studying zoology) when her grandfather was diagnosed with terminal cancer.
"I went to see him and we had a real heart-to-heart, and he told me to be happy with whatever I did in my life. I realised that I really wasn't happy at the moment – so I decided to leave uni! My parents were not impressed at first…"
At this point Erin had only recently been introduced to the acoustic roots scene by a friend, but she knew this was something she wanted to get involved in. "I'd never been into folk before - I liked R'n'B and hip hop!" she confesses.
"But then a friend told me about Show of Hands, and invited me to a gig. I was meant to be revising for exams but I just thought 'sod it' and went along! I had never experienced live music before and it was just unbelievable.
"Afterwards, I was a bit cheeky and told the band that if they ever needed a hand, I'd be happy to help…"
That opportunity soon arose, and Erin set off for Devon to work with the band for four days. She then spent some time working for a promoter in Bristol.
"Then I thought I'd better sort myself out and decide what I was going to do permanently… so I set up Bright Side Music Promotions," she says. The name is a tribute to her granddad, because Always Look on the Bright Side of Life was played at his funeral.
"I wanted to do something in memory of him – it was either that or get a tattoo, and I've got enough already!"
Erin looked around for somewhere suitable to host gigs, and was on her way to see a place in Redditch when fate intervened in the shape of two stray dogs in the road…
"By the time I'd made sure they were all right and returned them to their owner, I'd missed my appointment. I was due to visit Rowney Green Village Hall later, so I went along – and as soon as I saw it, I knew it was the right place."
This wasn't just due to nostalgia value – the hall recently underwent a huge refurbishment thanks to a lottery grant.
"It has changed a lot since playgroup!" smiles Erin. "I'm really glad they kept the original wooden stage, because Phil Beer got very excited and insisted on using it for his gig. I had to get up to introduce him, and realised that last time I was on that stage, I was a sheep in the nativity play!"
Erin says the artists really appreciate the intimacy and rural feel of the hall, especially Steve Knightley, whose songs are often about English countryside life. "The musicians are big names on the acoustic scene, but not so big that they are up themselves," she adds.
"It's also great to bring this music to people in the local area who may not otherwise get to experience it."
The next gig is on Sunday October 30, when mandolin expert Rex Preston and folk/jazz singer Miranda Sykes (whose voice Erin describes as "amazing") will perform. Tickets cost £8, and are available via http://www.brightsidemusic.co.uk.

Boundary Blues on tourBoundary Blues hit the road yesterday for a trip to Gullivers World in Cheshire.
A party of 100, comprising members, their families and some of the football staff, had a great day out.
Goalkeeper Paul Rachubka and first-team coach Paul Murray went along with their families.
And scholars Kyle Hardman, Haydn Foulds and Tomos Clarke also went along to join in with the fun.
The day was a chance for the young supporters to interact with other members, meet the players, Boundary Blues staff and also to them feel part of the family at Boundary Park.
All who attended had a fantastic day with lots of memorable moments to cherish.
Boundary Blues' Wendy Noble said: "It was such a lovely day out and everyone had a fantastic time, and the feedback has been amazing.
"The hard work organising the day was worth it to see so many people enjoy themselves and have fun."
Officials would like to thank the volunteers for giving up their time to help and Simon Holdaway, from Simply Fruit and Veg, for donating fruit for the trip.
Rachubka is pictured with Boundary Blues member James Moseley.

Barcelona coach Radomir Antic called up a number of youth team players to train with the senior squad as a precaution against the injury crisis which blighted his plans for last weekend's game against Osasuna.
Newcastle's Champions League rivals will definitely be without Dani Garcia for the March 19 clash at St James's Park, with the striker expected to miss the rest of the season as a result of knee ligament damage.
Defender Carles Puyol, who fractured his cheek in two places against Inter Milan, will be out for three weeks while Phillip Cocu, who has knee ligament damage from the European tie, is not expected to return before two and half months.
However, Barca may not need to use the six youngsters who trained with the first-team yesterday as a number of key players could be back in time for next weekend's clash with Real Valladolid.
Patrick Kluivert (ankle), Gabri Garcia (flu), Patrik Andersson (flu) and Philippe Christanval (thigh strain) all missed Sunday's draw in Pamplona but could be back for next weekend.
Luis Enrique and Marc Overmars, who both played a part in last weekend's game after recovering from illness and injury respectively, are both fully fit.

Can you save the marbles from passing the point of no return? In this game, your goal is to form groups of at least 3 identical marbles so as to destroy them and clear the line. At the start of each level, a line of color marbles will be rolling on the path of a maze and moving towards a hole at the end of the path. At the center of the maze you will be given a launcher, in which a marble is ready to be shot, and the next piece will also be seen. Move your mouse around so as to change the shooting direction, then click to release the marble. If groups of at least 3 marbles of the same color are formed, those marbles will be removed from the line and the remaining marbles will merge. You can switch the positions of the marbles in the launcher by pressing the Spacebar on your keyboard. Your score will be recorded at the top right corner of the screen. As you advance in the game, the mazes will become more complex and the number of marbles will increase. If the marbles fall into the hole, the game ends. Charge into the streams of excitement now!

In Forty Thieves Solitaire the goal of the game is to move all the cards to the 8 foundation piles at the upper right corner. The foundation piles are built in suit from A to K. You can use the middle 10 piles to hold the cards temporarily while you build up the cards in the foundation piles. You may only move one card at a time, and you can only move a card to another pile if it is one lower and in the same suit. If you cannot make a move you can turn over a new card by clicking on the facedown deck in the top left. It's game over if you have used all the stock cards and cannot put all the cards on the foundation.

His Mom and I greatly appreciate your program and the obvious good it has done for him. It's great to have him coming home from school, singing new songs, proudly displaying new words in his vocabulary, counting, and repeating the alphabet. We're very glad to have him in your program, and are especially impressed with his teacher and the various after hours enrichment programs you bring to the kids.

Today we have big news! Yeah Edinburgh's just had a special visit from a certain caped crusader, but what's got us all excited here at Bedlam HQ is the fact that we've almost reached 2000 Facebook fans. Well done you guys and gals, consider this a big thank you to each and every one of you.
Even if you've never played paintball before or written on our blog or wall, we'd really like to take this chance to get to know you all a bit better and become real Facebook friends! No doubt most of you are from the UK (Scotland in particular I'd assume) but do we have anyone from further afield? Any Australians, Americans or Icelanders consider themselves Bedlam fans? Let us know where you're from, be great to start an office 'Fan Map', with a red pin in every country we have a Facebook fan.
As I said, I'm sure a lot of you are perhaps new to paintball, or maybe haven't had the chance to pick up a paintball marker yet. Have you played paintball before though? If so what type? Had the chance to compete, or play woodsball or even join a club?
If you play paintball a lot, let us know; as it would be great to find out who our most dedicated paintball fan is. If Rick from Ohio plays paintball every day of the week (and twice on a Tuesday), we want to be able to congratulate him in person!
And finally folks, before we reach the 2000 mark, tell us this: what's your all-time favourite paintball experience?
Tell all your friends about Bedlam and help us reach 2000 – there might even be a prize for the 2000th Team Bedlam member.

>Unanswered questions may just be the bane of my existence. (That and maybe ants, clutter and all liars. And… well, let's not start that list!)
Recently, my mind has been contemplating the deeper issues in life. I've been placing myself in other people's shoes(at least in my mind, don't blame me if you can't find your Addidas), trying to gain more empathy for those around me.
Mostly, this just means I let my imagination run free for a couple of moments, and come back to reality with more issues than understanding.
Sometimes it brings up questions. Large questions, random questions, minute non-sensical questions… Primarily the latter. And even with all my wits about me, no matter how few they are, I cannot always come up with a resolution.
Here's a recent dilemma, and feel free to leave input in my comment section-
Suppose you really screwed up in life, did something ridiculous that is, by law, unpardonable. You find yourself on death row. Wasting away, day by day. Knowing eventually, your number will be up and it will be your turn in the chair. You know you're guilty, so you're not even holding out hope to be pardoned. You don't care anymore… finally, it's your turn. But before that fateful moment, as in all those glorified Hollywood flicks, you get to have your last meal. It's bittersweet, as you've only eaten gruel for years waiting for this moment, but this marks the end. And not to be cliche, but you request to have lobster for this crowning moment. Not because you like it, but because it's costly, because you've never had it. Maybe because it is symbolic of a better life you're saying goodbye to the opportunity of ever having. Your day is here. Your meal is here. You take a bite. Buttery, flavorful… You take another bite… soothing…until you start coughing. And coughing. And choking. Your airway constricts. It would figure you'd be allergic to shellfish, but not find out until it almost doesn't matter.
So therein lies the question; if you are hours away from your scheduled departure, will they make an effort/are they obligated to save you from this unintentional poisoning?
If they don't help, they'd be setting themselves up for legal problems right? But if they do help, isn't it a bit… odd?
You say this whole question and scenario is odd? I know. Your point is?

Early life and educationEdit
Ford was born in Gloucester.[1] He went to Marling School, Stroud. After a year as an apprentice at the British Aircraft Corporation he returned to education gaining a degree in Geology from the University of Reading in 1972, then a master's degree in marine Earth science from University College London in 1974.[2][3]
Academic careerEdit
For most of his academic career Ford worked at the University of Manchester, as a research fellow (1976–1979), a lecturer (1979–1980), and finally as a senior research fellow in the Department of Science and Technology Policy (1980–1984).[2][3]
He also taught for the Open University (1976–1978) and UMIST (1977–1978). He was a research fellow at the University of Sussex (1978–1979). In 1983, he spent six months as a visiting professor at Tokyo University.[2][3]
After becoming a member of the European Parliament in 1984, the University of Manchester made him an honorary visiting research fellow.[2]
Political careerEdit
While working at the University he was a local councillor in the Greater Manchester borough of Tameside, where he was the Chair of the Environmental Health and Education Committees.[citation needed]
On 14 June 1984 Ford was elected as a member of the European Parliament for the new constituency of Greater Manchester East. He held this seat for three terms, until the constituency was abolished in 1999, being re-elected on 15 June 1989 and 9 June 1994.
In 1987 he stood as the Labour candidate for the Hazel Grove constituency in Greater Manchester in the 1987 general election, a seat where Labour had no likelihood of winning.[2]
From 1989 to 1993 he was a member of Labour's National Executive Committee.[2]
Also, from 1989 to 1993 Ford was Leader of the European Parliamentary Labour Party and Deputy Chair of the European Parliament Socialist Group.[2]
On 10 June 1999 Ford was elected as a member of the European Parliament for the constituency of South West England for both the Labour Party and the Gibraltar Socialist Labour Party. Gibraltar was part of the South West England European Parliament constituency. Ford campaigned for Gibraltar to have its own seat in the European Parliament, rather than only having representation through the South West England constituency.[4][5]
Ford held this seat for two terms, being re-elected on 10 June 2004. He lost his seat in the elections on 4 June 2009. The Labour Party gained 118,716 votes (7.61%) in the South West region in 2009, which was insufficient to win a seat in the multi-member constituency which had had its representation reduced from seven to six at that election.[6]
Ford's three main areas of interest are Research and Development, Racism and East Asia.[7] Ford was for fifteen years a member of the European Parliament's Research Committee, the Guest Editor of the Science and Public Policy Special Issue on Science and Technology in Europe and the author, with Chris Niblett and Lindsay Walker, of The Future for Ocean Technology (Frances Pinter, 1987).
Ford was Chair of the European Parliament's Committee of Inquiry into The Growth of Racism and Fascism in Europe (1984–86) and rapporteur for a second European Parliament Committee of Inquiry into Racism and Xenophobia. He served as the European Parliament's representative on the Council of Ministers Consultative Commission on Racism and Xenophobia (1994–99). He was National Treasurer of the Anti-Nazi League[7] and author of Fascist Europe (Pluto, 1992).
He served throughout his time in the European Parliament as a member of the Japan Delegation and as a member of the Korean Peninsula Delegation from its formation in 2004. He was the EU's Chief Election Observer in Indonesia in 2004 and Aceh 2006-7. In 2008, he published, North Korea on the Brink: Struggle for Survival (Pluto) which has been subsequently been published in Japanese and Korean. He writes for The Japan Times.[8]
He published with Glenys Kinnock and Arlene McCarthy Changing States: A Labour Agenda for Europe (Mandarin, 1996). He is a regular contributor to Tribune.[9]
After leaving the European Parliament, Ford founded the Public Affairs and International Relations consultancy POLINT.[10]
Ford stood in the 2014 European Parliament election, but his second position on the Labour South West England list did not yield a seat.
Ford is a member of the Labour Party National Policy Forum, and was re-elected in 2015.[11][12]

Applied research "aims at finding a solution for an immediate problem facing a society, or an industrial/business organisation, whereas fundamental research is mainly concerned with generalisations and with the formulation of a theory"[1]. Applied research is considered to be non-systematic inquiry and it is usually launched by a company, agency or an individual in order to address a specific problem.[2]
Differences between Applied Research and Fundamental (Basic) Research
The difference between applied and fundamental or basic research is straightforward – findings of applied research can be applied to resolve issues, whereas fundamental studies are used simply to explore certain issues and elements.
Moreover, differences between applied and basic research can be summarized into three points:
1. Differences in purpose. Purpose of applied studies is closely associated with the solution of specific problems, while the purpose of fundamental studies relate to creation of new knowledge or expansion of the current knowledge without any concerns to applicability.
2. Differences in context. In applied studies, research objectives are set by clients or sponsors as a solution to specific problems they are facing. Fundamental studies, on the other hand, are usually self-initiated in order to expand the levels of knowledge in certain areas.
3. Differences in methods. Research validity represents an important point to be addressed in all types of studies. Nevertheless, applied studies are usually more concerned with external validity, whereas internal validity can be specified as the main point of concern for fundamental researchers.
Examples of Applied Research
The following are examples for applied research. You can notice that each of these studies aim to resolve a specific and an immediate problem.
- A study into the ways of improving the levels of customer retention for Wall-Mart in China
- An investigation into the ways of improving employee motivation in Marriot Hotel, Hyde Park
- Development of strategies to introduce change in Starbucks global supply-chain management with the view on cost reduction
- A study into the ways of fostering creative deviance amongst employees without compromising respect for authority.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Applied Research
The advantages and disadvantages of applied and fundamental research mirror and contrast each other. On the positive side, applied research can be helpful in solving specific problems in business and other settings.
On the negative side, findings of applied research cannot be usually generalized. In other words, applicability of the new knowledge generated as a result of applied research is limited to the research problem. Moreover, applied studies usually have tight deadlines which are not flexible.
You need to specify the type of your research in the earlier part of the research methodology chapter in about one short paragraph. Also, in this paragraph you will have to justify your choice of research type.
My e-book, The Ultimate Guide to Writing a Dissertation in Business Studies: a step by step assistance contains discussions of research types and application of research methods in practice. The e-book also explains all stages of the research process starting from the selection of the research area to writing personal reflection. Important elements of dissertations such as research philosophy, research approach, research design, methods of data collection and data analysis, sampling and others are explained in this e-book in simple words.

ALDI may not be the first place you head to in search of cycling kit, but head down to the budget supermarket this Sunday and you could pick up some pretty unbelievable deals.
After the success of previous cycling Specialbuy events, ALDI has expanded its range for this bank holiday Sunday, introducing a number of slightly higher-priced "premium" products.
>>>Best cheap road bikes: ridden and rated
Perhaps the most impressive piece of kit is the cycling computer, which measures everything you'd expect from a basic computer – speed, average speed, distance, time, etc. – all for the pretty unbelievable price of £4.99.
The premium range consists of men's and women's short sleeve jerseys complete with full-length zips (£14.99), SPD-compatible cycling shoes (£24.99), men's and women's bib shorts (£11.99), and men's and women's soft-shell jackets (£15.99). Cheaper jerseys and non-bib shorts are also available for £7.99.
>>>Budget clothing range launched by Merlin Cycles
However if you can't be convinced to leave your undercarriage to the mercy of a 12 quid pair of shorts then there are some more basic pieces of kit available that should come with fewer risks.
A pair of mitts will be available for £3.49, a saddle bag for £4.99, and sunglasses for £1.99.
But if you want to snap up these deals you'll have to move fast, as they will only be available in ALDI stores this Sunday 3rd May, and only while stocks last.
For more details head over to the ALDI website.

Welcome back to Future. Thanks for subscribing. Consider inviting your friends and colleagues to sign up. And if you have any tips or thoughts on what we can do better, just hit reply to this email or shoot me a message at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Let's start with ...
1 big thing: The coming yearlong trade war
The United States' trade war with China is likely to last much longer than originally thought — extending well into the second half of next year and perhaps longer, experts say.
The main reason: Neither side is prepared to appear politically weak at home, and both are ready to absorb economic pain.
Why it matters: The winners of a one-year or longer trade war without resolution are not clear, but here are some of the probable losers:
- In the U.S.: Farmers, users of steel, and consumers. And in earning calls last week, U.S. retailers "were sounding the alarm" about yet another escalation of tariffs threatened by President Trump, reports Axios' Courtenay Brown.
- In China: Manufacturers of all types will see business leave to neighbors like Vietnam and Malaysia, experts tell Axios.
- For both: Economic growth will be slightly less next year, and — depending on other factors such as the psychology of stock and commodities markets — there is a small chance that part or much of the world tips into recession.
The background: Trump says he is determined, among other objectives, to get China to stop hacking U.S. commercial secrets and forcing American companies to disgorge their intellectual property to Chinese rivals. And as early as Sept. 6 — 10 days from now — the U.S. may substantially escalate, levying tariffs on $200 billion in trade, and Beijing is expected to strike back.
- But while that is the intellectual backdrop, politically speaking, neither Trump nor China's Xi Jinping can be seen publicly buckling under to the other.
- And, for economic reasons, neither feels he has to. The tariffs are unlikely to inflict a killer blow. "No question it will be bad, but not calamitous" for the U.S. or China, says Adam Posen, president of the Peterson Institute for International Economics.
- Adding to the time clock: On the U.S. side, Trump's most hawkish advisers actually want the talks to go on longer because they smell blood. They think the tariffs threaten the Chinese miracle, and want to wait for the suffering to start biting, report the WSJ's Lingling Wei and Bob Davis.
Most of the China experts whom Axios spoke with dispute this thinking. Brad Setser, an expert on China's economy at the Council on Foreign Relations, expects only about a 0.5% hit to Chinese GDP next year should Trump, as he has threatened, escalate to tariffs on $250 billion of Chinese goods — or half its exports to the U.S.
What's next: Ian Bremmer, president of the Eurasia Group, is forecasting the unfolding of a new Cold War next year between the U.S. and China, this time on the battleground of technology and influence over other countries. "By the end of 2019, I suspect the biggest headlines on U.S.-China will be more focused on a changing global power balance than a direct trade war," he tells Axios in an email exchange.
2. Facial recognition goes mainstream
A few weeks ago, we wrote about faces increasingly replacing passwords. But your mug can do more than get you through security: Companies are planning to use facial scans to identify you in stores, restaurants, and sports arenas, and tag you for specialized ads and custom coupons — widening the potential for privacy breaches.
Kaveh Waddell writes: When the film Minority Report was released 16 years ago, its hyper-targeted ads were a creepy window to the future. Now, millions unlock their iPhones with their faces every day, edging a technology that, to many, still seems invasive toward the mainstream.
What's happening: When the National Soccer Hall of Fame opens in October in the Dallas suburb of Frisco, visitors will have the option to register their face and fill out a short questionnaire about their favorite teams and players.
- Once they've opted in, they'll see images and stats related to their choices when they walk by certain displays.
- Once they leave the venue, their faces will be purged from the system.
Benji Hutchinson, a vice president at the U.S. subsidiary of NEC, which made the system, says Apple's Face ID — a feature of last year's iPhone X — is pushing facial recognition mainstream.
- Facial recognition is a natural extension of fingerprint readers, Hutchinson argues. "The stigma is slowly being eroded," he said, especially for younger people.
The push toward commercial biometric identification is part of a century-long trend toward extreme personalization, said Joseph Turow, a professor of communication at the University of Pennsylvania.
- Will biometrics go viral? Turow says yes, but when it does, voice identification may take off before facial recognition.
- "This is not just an incremental change," he says. "Passing into the world of biometrics is a major step in how we allow our data and our body to be used."
3. A recommended end-of-summer read
For more than two years, we've been speaking of the threat to the liberal world order, shaken to its core by the rash of new autocratic-minded governments, and, most importantly, a change of heart by its creator and leader — the United States.
But this summer, I realized that I could know a lot more about what the world order actually is. On my bookshelf all this time, unread, was "World Order," by Henry Kissinger, secretary of state and national security adviser to presidents Nixon and Ford. Over the last couple of weeks, I've dug in.
It's a rich history, starting in the 17th century. Though published in 2014, it foresees the rise of Trump, or someone like him, linking it to the explosion of social media:
- "Presidential campaigns are on the verge of turning into media contests between master operators of the Internet."
- As more and more discourse happens in snippets on social media, "can democracy avoid an evolution toward a demagogic outcome based on emotional mass appeal rather than the reasoned process the Founding Fathers imagined?"
A hyper-troubling thread is Kissinger's description of the bedrock of U.S. power from the beginning, and especially since World War II — its claim of moral high ground. Always, Americans have argued that other countries sought their cold, hard state interests, while the U.S. was foremost about values and ideals.
Before America First became the mantra, Kissinger warned against it:
"Calculations of power without a moral dimension will turn every disagreement into a test of strength; ambition will know no resting place; countries will be propelled into unsustainable tours de force of elusive calculations regarding the shifting configuration of power."
Fun fact: In the end notes, we see that, typically, Kissinger has eyes deep in the White House. Schuyler Schouten, his research associate on this book, is special assistant to Trump and associate White House counsel.
Go deeper with the FT: Henry Kissinger — 'We are in a very, very grave period.'

5. 1 hacking thing: The bug-hunting business
Amid a gaping shortage of skilled cybersecurity hands, a cottage industry has sprung up to fill the demand, with some of the biggest U.S. companies and agencies paying freelance bounties for detecting website vulnerabilities.
What's going on: There are currently some 301,000 cyber industry openings in the U.S., according to Cyber Seek, a firm seeking to close the shortage, forcing unorthodox solutions on the most strategically important employers.
Their target is not hiring college graduates, but simply to lure reliable hackers, or "white hats," out of dark chatrooms and into respectable employ.
- Websites like Bugcrowd and HackerOne are the Indeeds of this world, reports MIT Tech Review's Martin Giles.
- Both sites feature "bug bounties" — cash rewards for finding website vulnerabilities.
- Among those paying bounties: Airbnb, the Pentagon, GM, Lufthansa, and Starbucks, says HackerOne.
Despite the shortage, the pay appears to be generally mediocre or low, the same malady afflicting job categories across the U.S. and European economies.
- Finding bugs pays in glory more often than in cash, like swag and tours of the U.S. Capitol, writes Tech Review's Erin Winick.
- In a case study at HackerOne, Shopify said that as of March 15, it had used bounties to resolve 759 bug reports, "thanked" more than 300 hackers, and paid out more than $850,000 in bounties. If all were paid, that comes to about $1,100 per bug report, although in one case, Shopify said, it paid a hacker named @cache-money $15,250 for exposing a critical bug.
- A Philippine bug hunter profiled by Tech Review earns well under $1,000 a month. At HackerOne, 3% of registered users earn more than $100,000 a year, while 12% earn $20,000 or more.
Go deeper:
- In February, No Starch Press will publish a how-to book called Real-World Bug Hunting, by Peter Yaworski, subtitled "A Field Guide to Web Hacking."
- A bill to require the State Department to offer bug bounties.

Everyone knows by now — if there ever was a question — that "cars can't jump on trains." It says so right at the bottom of the screen during those Nissan Rogue ads, which also carry the label, "Fantasy. Do not attempt."
If it was less clear that trucks cannot push dune buggies up steep sand hills, the Federal Trade Commission cleared that up on Thursday, when it settled a charge of deceptive advertising with Nissan North America.
The 30-second commercial, titled "Hill Climb," shows a dune buggy getting stuck on a steep sand dune during a hill-climb competition. A Nissan Frontier roars up the hill, stops behind the dune buggy, then pushes it up and over the hill.
"In truth," the F.T.C. said, "both the Nissan Frontier pickup truck and the dune buggy were dragged to the top of the hill by cables, and the sand dune was made to appear to be significantly steeper than it actually was. The Nissan Frontier pickup truck is incapable of performing the feat depicted in the Hill Climb advertisement."
The commercial carried a disclaimer at the beginning, which said "Fictionalization. Do Not Attempt."
But Matthew Gold, an F.T.C. lawyer, said the disclaimer was unsatisfactory. As part of the settlement, Nissan henceforth agreed not to use deceptive demonstrations in pickup ads.
In a statement, the automaker said, "Nissan takes its commitment to fair and truthful advertising seriously. The company has been and remains committed to complying with the law."

Make an enquiry
Our friendly staff are always ready to help. If you would like to see our kitchens at our showroom, please email or give us a call to book an appointment.
They achieve this through a number of vehicles, arguably the most prominent of which is Fifteen, the restaurant group established in 2002. The name Fifteen comes from the original group of 15 unemployed, under-qualified young apprentices recruited to train alongside a team of 25 professional chefs and mentors.
Over the next four years Fifteen Amsterdam and Fifteen Cornwall opened following the same model of using all the revenue from the restaurants to fund the programme and to date, over 220 young people have graduated across the restaurants with some of them now running their own restaurants, starring on TV or working in top class kitchens all over the world.
Urban Myth have supported the foundation in a number of ways, including supplying kitchens to the London Fifteen training school, and holding events in our showroom to support the graduates of the scheme. You can read more about one of our events here. We are also proud to have been invited to support Jamie's school kitchen garden project which you can read about here

Easy Money $$$ Part 3
If you've read my earlier posts about Easy Money $$$ and Easy Money $$$ Part 2, then you know I love easy money. So last week, when I had another one of those easy money manifestations, I thought I would share it with you.
It all started when I saw a post on facebook that asked, "Who would love to be part of a challenge to manifest $1000?!!!!". To which I instantly commented, "I'd love it! Count me in!". I mean, who wouldn't love to manifest an extra $1,000.00 dollars?
I pondered it for a few minutes, wondering what manifesting tips would be forthcoming, and then I thought about how I could use the extra $1,000.00.
Every time someone else commented on the post, it reminded me that I would love to receive an extra $1,000.00. A couple times as I fell asleep at night, I would visualize counting the $1,000.00.
Guess what happened? Nine days later, totally out of the blue, someone came into my shop and handed me a bank envelope, saying it was a gift. You guessed it! $1,000.00!!! Later the same day, I received a totally unexpected check in the mail for $42.35!
I love love love easy money!!
Here's to your Lucky Life and Easy Money!

"Where Fashion and Technology Meet"
AUSTIN, TX--(Marketwire - March 15, 2011) - Group texting service GroupFlier today announced its CEO Morris Panner will be speaking at the South by Southwest SXSW 2011 event Style X on Saturday, March 19 at 3:45 p.m. to discuss the growing link between fashion and technology.
GroupFlier (www.groupflier.com) also announced it's the official group texting app for Style X, connecting fashion designers and the musicians who are acting as their models at SXSW.
South by Southwest is introducing its first-ever style showcase celebrating emerging talent in the fashion industry. The event, called Style X (pronounced "style by"), will be held on Friday-Saturday, March 18-19 in the Austin Convention Center and is free and open to the public.
"SXSW interactive may be ending and most of the tech startups and web gurus who populated the panels and networking rooms are packing up and headed home, but GroupFlier is sticking around and putting their group texting service to work with musicians and fashion designers participating in SXSW's first-ever fashion showcase, Style X," said GroupFlier CEO Morris Panner.
"Technology is playing an increasingly more significant role in the fashion industry and I'm excited to have Morris on board for this panel," said Joah Spearman, Style X's co-founder and executive producer. "Group texting is an exciting frontier in the tech industry and GroupFlier stands out because it truly offers something that creatives, from musicians to fashion designers, can utilize to build their fanbases and businesses."
Along with the three dozen emerging designers from all over the country, American Apparel, Keds and New York barbershop Frank's Chop Shop are special exhibitors. Among these emerging designers is Austin's own Chelsea Jones, whose line Toxophilite is debuting at Style X. She plans to use GroupFlier to connect with her budding fanbase.
"I'll be fully introducing Toxophilite at Style X so it's important for me to connect with my customers and start building a following long after SXSW is done," said Jones, a graduate of the Savannah College of Arts and Design.
Similarly, musicians participating in Style X will be able to tap into the service as a way to communicate with bandmates and fans alike. Kent Zambrana, the lone Austin member of L.A.-based indie band Letting Up Despite Great Faults, plans to use GroupFlier extensively.
"My bandmates and I have already started using GroupFlier to stay in touch while we're 2,000 miles apart. It's been a great way to continue developing our plans for SXSW and make sure we get the most out of the festival," said Zambrana, whose official SXSW showcase is scheduled for 7:45 p.m. at Karma Lounge at 119 W. 8th St.
Joining Morris Panner will be executives from Square, Go Try It On, and Lyst. Also, Syuzi Pakhchyan, author of "Fashioning Technology: A DIY Intro to Smart Crafting," will make an appearance.

The eerie theme music, Mulder, Scully, Assistant Director Skinner, The Cigarette Smoking Man and a twist of sorts. To quote Mulder, "All these years we've been deceived." There are aliens but they are not behind the abductions, genetic mutations or trying to colonize the earth. Nefarious men have been using alien technology to experiment on people and create alien-human hybrids. The next evolution of the species.
Creator Chris Carter wanted this six episode series to turn the old mythology on it's head. Despite the alien shape shifters and the Antarctic space ship from the 1998 movie, I was never convinced that aliens were at the core of the conspiracy.
First, let me say that it was great to see together again. My expectations going in were high
but I remained cautiously optimistic.
The old romantic chemistry between Mulder and Scully was not there, I remain optimistic that it will rekindle. However, the quick to jump to conclusion nature of Mulder, tempered by the Scully's logic is back in fine form. All be it - Scully's thinking is much more out of the box than ever.
The first episode was defiantly not for the fans - it was all designed to attract new fans. The second episode was more encouraging. The monster of the week theme resurfaced, as did the feel of everything I liked about the original series. The pace was so much better than the premier. Stolen babies, exploding eye balls, alien hybrids, eugenics and the return of the creepy cigarette smoking man as the main antagonist sold me.
1/3 of the way through the revival, the revival is living up to my rose-tinted glasses of nostalgia.
At this point, I think it is safe to say the series has returned to form. I am crossing my fingers that this does not become another "I want to believe" disappointment.
I may have to give Heroes Reborn a second chance!

The Mystery Cart is a golf cart used by the employees of the Mystery Shack in the Disney Channel animated series Gravity Falls.
In the pilot episode, "Tourist Trapped", the Mystery Cart is first seen being driven by Soos. Later in the episode, when Dipper believes that Mabel's boyfriend Norman (actually Jeff and the Gnomes) is a zombie, he asks Wendy for the keys to the Mystery Cart so he can save Mabel. After Dipper rescues Mabel, they run to the Mystery Cart and drive away. Soon after, the gnomes begin to chase after Dipper and Mabel. They launch several gnomes at the Mystery Cart and Dipper and Mabel fight the gnomes one by one. Dipper bashes Shmebulock on the Mystery Cart's horn three times. One of the gnomes lands on Dipper's face, and Mabel punches the gnome several times to get it to release. After Dipper thanks Mabel for saving him, the gnomes pick up a tree and throw it into the middle of the road, causing Dipper and Mabel to slide the Mystery Cart under the tree, and eventually crash it into the front of the Mystery Shack.
The Mystery Cart has a white paint job, a big red question mark painted between the headlights on the front, red and gold flaps, a red flag on the back, two brown seats and a red roof. A speaker is situated on the roof.
- In some episodes of the show, the Mystery Cart is parked near the Mystery Shack and shown to be red instead of white.
- The Mystery Cart may be a reference to the carts in Regular Show.
