"We're all floating around in the Negative Zone," joked Jeff Parker at the start of Marvel Comics latest NEXT BIG THING conference call as this time around, the purpose of the conference remained secret until everyone had arrived. Joining press for the event were writers Rick Remender, Jeff Parker, Rob Williams along with artist Tony Moore and editor Jeanine Schafer.
The group revealed that this coming February, a crossover is in the offing for Marvel characters including the leads of "Venom," "Ghost Rider," "Hulk" and "X-23." However, the story will technically all take place within the pages of "Venom" with issues being labeled #13, 13.1, 13.2, 13.3, 13.4 and finally concluding in #14. The announcement was accompanied by some early art from "Venom" #13 by artist Stedano Caselli, which can be seen at right.
"The origin of the thing is a little crazy," Remender said, noting that the story started between him and Jason Aaron proposing Wolverine could be a part of the action. "One of the big ideas was finding a way to freshen up that idea that Walt Simonson and Art Adams did when they made Wolverine, Ghost Rider, Spider-Man and Doctor Strange The Fantastic Four."
The story turned to a new take on the "New FF" idea with X-23, Ghost Rider and Red Hulk joining Venom on a new team. Schafer said all the characters here have been searching to find themselves as heroes and are all in need of support on that quest as the story starts.
"They're all second generation characters in a lot of ways," Williams added, noting the attraction was that "They're going into this thing as one version of themselves, and by the time it's over they'll all be changed. The plot breakdown we've got is pretty exciting in that regard." The participants said that the story will hold impacts for all the books the characters star in full time. "As we've been talking about this back and forth, we've been finding the way these characters intertwine without even trying," Schafer said.
"Plus, you don't want to undersell the fact that they look really, really cool together," laughed Williams.
Remender said they'd keep the big bad of the book quiet for now, but he did reveal where the story starts as he writes #13. "The character is trying to bring something from another dimension to earth...and the villain is succeeding in doing this," the writer said, noting the action takes place in a Las Vegas casino. Captain America sends the Red Hulk out to investigate on behalf of the Avengers, and soon Hulk and Venom clash along with the other two characters unknowing of what awaits them in Sin City. "The events that take place in Las Vegas won't be completely resolved after this, and there will be an interesting new tone for the next few years in that dirty city."
While separate issues of the event will be written by the writers solo, the group said they're highly coordinating the event as a whole together via conference calls and e-mails. "It's fascinating for me to see how the other writers work," Williams said as Remender added "We end up going long [on the phone] and I think that's a good sign...everybody has a really positive attitude, and what we've come up with here is so incredibly creative and exciting...this is the crazy soup that you want."
He noted that Tony Moore will draw the initial, 30-page special issue that is "Venom" #13. "It's been a similar process to how Rick and I have worked for a long time," Moore said about the long calls to break the story. "We knock some ideas around and try to find that one missing puzzle piece, or he'll brainstorm with me on an action set piece that'll be fun for me to draw...as far as the characters, I love drawing Venom, and I'm excited to see other people try my design. I'm also excited to draw Ghost Rider again...and I think I've been waiting to draw the Hulk my whole career." The artist added at Williams question that making the female Ghost Rider feel more feminine was a challenge he was looking forward to meeting.
Remender said he was excited to bring the flavor and feel of their longtime collaboration to a larger group of people. That process has made the story have more impact on the ongoing "Venom" series. "I think when people see the villain and how we've handled it...I think in conversations we've had with Jeff, Rob and Jeanine, I've aleady had some ideas for where to take all this next," he said, noting the team just found the ending of their story this week.
Making the characters clash on the page is a big part of what's in store for the book. "The reality is that these characters came together as an offshoot of that Walt Simonson/Art Adams run," Remender said, adding "But since then...we've worked really hard to make sure this is a character story. In fact, Jeff's entire issue is a character story where he's defining one of these characters in a major way for one story."
Williams added, "I think obviously people have got individual ownership of their character, but everybody's been completely cool...I'm not going to run off and say 'I'm going to write Red Hulk this way for ten pages."
The dynamic of the team will be shakier even than the original New Fantastic Four as Williams joked, "You've heard stories about rock bands where all the members have to take separate tour buses." Remender noted that "Hulk is on a manhunt for Venom...but everything changes as a good story always does, so they've got to high five and try to be friends."
Artists for the issues past #13 will remain under wraps for now, but Caselli will draw all the covers. "X-23" writer Marjorie Lieu has been consulted on that character's part of the story, but as the monthly title has taken the lead character off to Madripoor on a solo run, the writer is focusing on that for now.
The choice to keep the story technically in "Venom" instead of crossing over into other series came mostly because the idea started with Remender and his plans for that title. "Flash is at his lowest point, and I think he maybe has the most throughline for this story and is the lynchpin for all these characters to come together and learn that they do have more in common with other characters and don't have to stand on their own," Schafer said.
"I like it in one book," Remender said, noting that if the story exists in one title, the chance for fans to be able to find all of them in their local comic shops will work. "I think it was a decision for clarity's sake as well." The event will also run as a "fifth week" event of sorts of February and early March.
Looking at what characters have been the most surprising, Remender said despite some solid stories, X-23 "never really clicked" for him until he got the chance to get into her own head. "Marjorie was really cool in letting us...dig into her conflicts," he said, saying her quest was "Do I have a soul?" Parker spent time putting himself into the minds of his other writers, saying he wanted to "So slavishly imitate Rob that he'll get freaked out by it." Williams agreed that X-23's journey "is a fascinating one...and again, X-23 isn't a character I'd say I had a great amount of feelings for...but as we've been talking about her journey, it's created a real resonance."
Remender added that the fact that the characters were legacy characters made you realize "You're not confined by constraints...you can tell stories that really unearth their characters." The writer noted that the entire "Venom" series to date will come to a head in this story and that the team can do things with the cast that they could never do with Bruce Banner or Wolverine.
As for a reference to the original New FF, even though Ghost Rider was supposed to be the only character who remembered the events of the first story, but they didn't want to try to untangle it all on the page lest they send readers into "a continuity stupor."
"Look, we just want to see four people cosplay these characters...is that too much to ask?" Parker joked, to which Williams replied "I thought we were going to cosplay them." Parker replied, "Okay, you're the girl."
Ultimately, the draw of the series for the writers was that because these heroes are largely solo concerns who don't have to get sucked up into every major Marvel event, this Venom event will have real dramatic impact on the heroes' ongoing series. Asked whether the story is optional for the fans who have been following the solo books, Remender said, "It's 100% not optional if you've been reading 'Venom,'" adding that fans who love the characters wouldn't want to miss this. "I think readers get mad when some other unsympathetic team gets handed their favorite characters," Parker added, but since these writers are on their own characters here, it should be an easy pick-up for readers of the monthly titles.
"For me, the thing about the Marvel Universe I want to do is explore new places," Remender said when asked about the Vegas piece of the story. "When we were talking about where to tell this particular story...Sin City was the right place for it. It's visually spectacular." The writer gave Moore credit for making the setting sing as part of the story and as pure eye-candy. "It's always nice when you can get something that's visual and serves a role in the story, and that's what Vegas does here."
Marvel's Venom Event starts in February's "Venom" #13 before continuing throughout the month.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) —Texas forced a one-game tiebreaker for the second AL wild-card spot, winning its seventh straight when Geovany Soto hit a tiebreaking RBI double and later homered to beat Los Angeles.
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) �Texas forced a one-game tiebreaker for the second AL wild-card spot, winning its seventh straight when Geovany Soto hit a tiebreaking RBI double and later homered to beat Los Angeles.
The Rangers sunk the Angels, 6-2.
The Rangers (91-71) added game No. 163 to the regular season, and will host Tampa Bay on Monday night. The winner plays two days later at wild-card leader Cleveland in another win-or-be-done matchup.
About the same time Tampa Bay wrapped up its 7-6 win at Toronto to necessitate a victory by the Rangers to keep playing, Craig Gentry hit a two-run single in the fifth for a 2-1 lead.
Los Angeles quickly tied the game against major league strikeout leader Yu Darvish in the sixth, but the Rangers went ahead to stay in the bottom half on Soto�s two-out double.
Adrian Beltre and Soto added solo homers in the eighth.
Cardinals 4, Cubs 0
ST. LOUIS (AP) � Matt Carpenter and the St. Louis Cardinals clinched home-field advantage throughout the National League playoffs when they beat the Chicago Cubs for their sixth straight win.
With the top seed, the NL Central champions will host the wild-card winner in Game 1 of the best-of-five division series on Thursday.
Joe Kelly (10-5) pitched 5 1-3 innings of three-hit ball. The Cardinals matched their longest winning streak of the season and finished 97-65, their most since reaching 100 in 2005.
The Cubs finished last in the Central at 66-96. Jeff Samardzija (8-13) got the loss.
Royals 4, White Sox 1
CHICAGO (AP) � Bruce Chen pitched four-hit ball into the seventh inning and Kansas City beat Chicago to finish off its best season in 24 years.
Kansas City won three of four in Chicago and went 17-10 in September for its most successful month of the season. The Royals� 86-76 record was their best mark since they went 92-70 in 1989.
Chen�s sharp outing put a damper on what might have been the final major league game for White Sox captain Paul Konerko, who is eligible for free agency and isn�t sure if he will play again next year. The veteran first baseman is second in franchise history with 427 homers and 1,361 RBIs, and third with 2,249 hits.
Chen (9-4) allowed one run, struck out four and walked three in 6 2-3 innings.
Jose Quintana (9-7) pitched seven innings to reach 200 for the season. He was charged with four runs and six hits.
Rockies 2, Dodgers 1
LOS ANGELES (AP) � Michael Cuddyer won his first batting title and Todd Helton singled in the final game of his career to help the Colorado Rockies beat the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The NL West champion Dodgers, who lost four of their last five games to finish 92-70, will open the NL division series at Atlanta on Thursday.
The Dodgers said they won�t have center fielder Matt Kemp in the postseason because of swelling in a bone in his left ankle.
Cuddyer went 1 for 5 and finished at .331 to win the title by 10 points over Atlanta�s Chris Johnson.
Helton was 1 for 4 with a walk, singling his first time up. The first baseman is retiring after 17 seasons.
The sellout crowd at Dodger Stadium gave him a standing ovation before his last at-bat.
Jeff Francis (3-5) won and Rex Brothers got his 19th save in 21 chances. Hyun-Jin Ryu (14-8) took the loss.
Yankees 5, Astros 1, 14 innings
HOUSTON (AP) � Mark Reynolds hit a tiebreaking homer in a four-run 14th inning, and New York went into an offseason of uncertainty with a victory over Houston, whose 15-game losing streak was the longest at the end of the season in more than a century.
Mariano Rivera didn�t pitch in the final game of a career that started in 1995, and Robinson Cano and Curtis Granderson were among the players unsure whether they had played their final games for the Yankees (85-77).
Bothered by sore legs, Alex Rodriguez also didn�t get into the game. The appeal of his 211-game drug suspension starts Monday.
New York finished with its fewest wins in a non-strike season since 1992 and failed to make the playoffs for only the second time in 19 years. Manager Joe Girardi�s contract is expiring, and he hasn�t said whether he wants to come back for a seventh season.
Houston (51-111) set a team record for losses and had the most in the majors since Arizona lost the same number in 2004. The Astros finished with the lengthiest season-ending losing streak since the 1899 Cleveland Spiders dropped their last 16, according to STATS.
Marlins 1, Tigers 0
MIAMI (AP) � Henderson Alvarez pitched a no-hitter with a most bizarre ending, celebrating in the on-deck circle when the Miami Marlins scored on a two-out wild pitch in the bottom of the ninth inning to beat the AL Central champion Detroit Tigers 1-0 Sunday.
After Alvarez finished off the ninth with the game scoreless, he had to wait to see if it would become an official no-hitter. A Major League Baseball ruling in 1991 said only complete games of nine or more innings with no hits would count.
The Marlins loaded the bases and with pinch-hitter Greg Dobbs at bat, Luke Putkonen (1-3) threw a wild pitch that let Giancarlo Stanton score.
Alvarez was on deck, bat in hand. He took off his helmet and started to celebrate with teammates while still wearing his batting gloves.
Later, Alvarez went into the stands to hug his pregnant wife and kiss her belly.
It was the first of the majors� 282 no-hitters to end on a wild pitch, STATS said.
Alvarez (5-6) struck out four, walked one and hit a batter against a patchwork Tigers lineup on the last day of the season. The 23-year-old righty from Venezuela capped a dismal season for the Marlins in which they finished at 62-100.
Alvarez pitched the fourth season-ending no-hitter ever, and first since Mike Witt of the Angels threw a perfect game at Texas in 1984.
Pirates 4, Reds 2
CINCINNATI (AP) � Jordy Mercer hit an inside-the-park homer and triple, and the Pittsburgh Pirates completed a three-game sweep of the Cincinnati Reds in a matchup of teams that will play for the NL wild card.
They�ll open the postseason on Tuesday night at Pittsburgh, the Pirates� first playoff game in 21 years. They�ve met five times in the playoffs: 1970, 1972, 1975, 1979 and 1990, when the Reds won their last World Series title.
Johnny Cueto (5-2), who is 8-2 career at PNC Park, will face Francisco Liriano (16-8), who is 0-3 in four starts against Cincinnati this season.
The Reds dropped their last five games, matching their season high.
Brandon Cumpton (2-1) gave up a pair of hits in five shutout innings. Kyle Farnsworth got his second save. Greg Reynolds (1-3) took the loss.
Braves 12, Phillies 5
ATLANTA (AP) � Evan Gattis had a two-run homer among his three hits, Elliot Johnson drove in five runs and the NL East champion Atlanta Braves beat Philadelphia.
The Braves won their first division title since 2005. They will have home-field advantage against the Dodgers in the NL division series, which begins Thursday at Turner Field.
Atlanta (96-66) finished with its best record since also winning 96 games in 2004. After the victory, players gathered for a photo around a 2013 banner that was placed on a stand in front of the mound.
Julio Teheran (14-8) allowed four runs in five innings. Zach Miner (0-2), who began his career in the Braves� organization, gave up five runs on seven hits and three in only 2 1-3 innings.
Giants 7, Padres 6
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) � Hunter Pence singled home the winning run with no outs in the ninth inning to lift the San Francisco Giants over San Diego.
Francisco Peguero hit his first career home run leading off the ninth to tie it as Huston Street (2-5) blew his second save in 35 chances.
Pence drove in three runs. Jedd Gyorko hit a grand slam for the Padres and Nick Hundley homered.
Sergio Romo (5-8) pitched the ninth for the win.
The Giants, who last season won their second World Series title in three years, finished 76-86 and tied for third with the Padres, 16 games behind the NL West champion Dodgers.
Diamondbacks 3, Nationals 2
PHOENIX (AP) � A.J. Pollock beat out a run-scoring infield single in the eighth inning and the Arizona Diamondbacks sent Washington manager Davey Johnson into retirement with a loss.
The Diamondbacks scratched out a pair of runs off Ryan Mattheus (0-2) in the eighth to finish the season at 81-81.
David Hernandez (5-6) pitched a perfect eighth and Brad Ziegler closed out the ninth for his 13th save.
Washington failed in the final game of a career by Johnson that spanned six decades, but still finished 11 games above .500 at 86-76. The Nationals won the NL East last season.
Mets 3, Brewers 2
NEW YORK (AP) � Eric Young Jr. won the NL stolen base crown and helped the New York Mets rally when Milwaukee botched two bunts in the eighth inning.
Young swiped two bases in the first, scored on a shallow sacrifice fly and later threw out a runner at the plate from left field. He began the day tied for the NL lead in steals at 44 with Milwaukee shortstop Jean Segura, who sat out for the 10th time in 11 games because of a strained right hamstring.
Vic Black (3-0) pitched a hitless inning nd Frank Francisco struck out two for his first save since Sept. 1 last year. Brandon Kintzler (3-3) got the loss.
Before the game, former Mets slugger Mike Piazza was inducted into the team�s Hall of Fame during a 30-minute ceremony on the field.
Indians 5, Twins 1
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) � The surging Cleveland Indians earned their first postseason berth since 2007, beating the Minnesota Twins 5-1 Sunday to clinch an AL wild card as Ubaldo Jimenez tied a career high with 13 strikeouts.
Nick Swisher homered in the first inning for the Indians, who became the first major league team to win its final 10 regular-season games since the 1971 Baltimore Orioles finished with 11 straight victories, according to STATS.
Cleveland will host Tampa Bay or Texas in the one-game AL wild-card playoff on Wednesday night. The Rays and Rangers are playing a tiebreaker on Monday.
Jimenez (13-9) gave up one run and five hits in 6 2-3 innings for the Indians, who became the first team to sweep seven four-game series in one regular season since the 1943 St. Louis Cardinals. After the final out, Cleveland players mobbed each other on the diamond in a jubilant celebration.
Scott Diamond (6-13) gave up four runs � two earned � and seven hits for the Twins (66-96).
Rays 7, Blue Jays 6
TORONTO (AP) � Evan Longoria and Tampa Bay assured the Rays would tie for an AL wild-card berth, scoring six runs in the first inning and then holding off Toronto.
Tampa Bay and the Rangers, who beat the Angels, tied for the second wild-card spot. They will play Monday night in Texas to decide who faces Cleveland in the wild-card game Wednesday.
Longoria hit an RBI double as the Rays used their highest-scoring first inning since 2010 to go ahead early. Tampa Bay took a 7-0 lead into the sixth before Toronto rallied.
Rays manager Joe Maddon was ejected in the seventh and the Blue Jays put the go-ahead run at the plate in the eighth and ninth innings. Fernando Rodney got four shaky outs for his 37th save in 45 chances.
Orioles 7, Red Sox 6
BALTIMORE (AP) � Ryan Flaherty had two hits subbing for Chris Davis after baseball�s home run champ left with a sprained wrist, and Baltimore wrapped up its season with a victory over playoff-bound Boston.
Flaherty hit an RBI single in a five-run fifth and a run-scoring double when the Orioles took the lead for good in the sixth.
Davis was hurt in the fourth inning when his arm got in the way of Jacoby Ellsbury on a play at first. The player who accepted the Orioles� MVP award before the game walked off to a standing ovation, finishing tops in the majors in both homers (53) and RBIs (138).
The Orioles finished 85-77, giving them back-to-back winning seasons for the first time since 1996-97.
The Red Sox finished up 97-65, tied with the St. Louis Cardinals for the best record in baseball. Boston will open its division series at Fenway Park on Friday against the winner of the AL�s wild-card playoff.
Athletics 9, Mariners 0
SEATTLE (AP) � Sonny Gray threw five shutout innings and Oakland had a pair of four-run innings to close out the regular season with a win over Seattle in Eric Wedge�s final game as Mariners manager.
The A�s now turn their attention to the AL Division Series against Detroit that will begin Friday in Oakland, while Seattle (71-91) enters the offseason with another managerial search on the docket after a 12th straight season without the making the playoffs.
Oakland gave a few of its starters the finale off, while some others made cameos before getting a rest before beginning the postseason.
Chris Young got Oakland started with a two-run single in the second, followed by RBI doubles by Seth Smith and Brandon Moss. Alberto Callaspo had an RBI single in the fifth, followed by an RBI double from Josh Reddick and a two-run single by Daric Barton.

Non-interest-bearing accounts are typically checking accounts with low requirements for maintenance. Some of the most common types are basic, student, senior, and joint accounts. A couple of these types are only non-interest-bearing, while others may have interest in some cases, depending on the terms.
One of the most popular non-interest-bearing accounts is the basic checking account. This is typically used by a person who wishes to have the account for transaction purposes only. While the terms for these accounts vary widely, they are for the most part low frills and tend to have a few restrictions. Some requirements may include keeping a minimum balance, paying a monthly fee, or writing a limited number of checks per month before a fee is charged.
Student and senior checking are other widely-used non-interest-bearing accounts. These tend to have lower or no fees on things such as checks, automatic teller machine use, and teller service. This kind of account may also offer low credit card rates and traveler's checks.
There are also special low-cost non-interest-bearing accounts for customers with low income. Some regional governments require that banks offer these accounts under terms determined by the government. They do not require a minimum balance and tend to have very low or no monthly fees. While checks may be free, there is usually a limit on how many can be written per month without a fee.
Some non-interest-bearing accounts are used primarily via computer, phone, and automatic teller machine. Though this can be a convenient, easily accessible account type, there may be a fee for teller use. This is often a good choice for customers who rarely need to go to a physical bank to do banking.
While they can offer interest, there are also non-interest-bearing accounts for joint customers. These usually offer many of the same services as a basic checking account. They tend to be less common for joint holders.
Non-interest-bearing accounts are often a good option for people who are new to banking, such as children. They have enough services to help a new customer get acclimated to the process of banking without being too demanding. These types can also be particularly useful for customers with little cash or who tend to keep a low balance. Some accounts are even entirely free.
Though non-interest-bearing accounts can be a simple, economical choice, it is typically advisable not to keep too much money in them. Customers who have idle cash from month-to-month will usually benefit from having at least a savings account. Other low-risk options include money markets and certificates of deposit.

A simple in-home training program for caregivers can give children of AIDS patients a better shot at prosperity by improving their early-childhood development, according to a study led by a Michigan State University researcher.
Michael Boivin, MSU associate professor in the departments of Psychiatry, and of Neurology and Ophthalmology, conducted the research in Uganda, where about one million children have lost at least one parent to AIDS - an unlucky club that adds another member every 14 seconds.
With deceased or gravely ill parents who often work long hours in the fields to provide food, these kids miss out on the affection and regular interaction that are crucial for their early physical, social and cognitive development, Boivin noted.
"They face hardship even in the best of circumstances, because most are in impoverished environments," he said. "Their poverty is compounded by the fact that their parents are infected with HIV. They face tremendous challenges to their development."
Funded by the National Institutes of Health and published in the Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics, the study was designed to see if children whose parents have HIV or AIDS could benefit from a training program called Mediational Intervention for Sensitizing Caregivers, or MISC. The program has helped caregivers in other countries and circumstances use day-to-day interaction at home to develop children's social skills, language and cognitive ability.
"MISC is about training mothers or other caregivers on ways they can be sensitive to their child's natural tendencies to learn, and to direct those tendencies in everyday life to enrich the child's development," said Boivin.
To test the approach, the researchers recruited 120 uninfected preschool-aged children whose mothers had HIV. The children's caregivers - their infected mothers, in most cases - were randomly assigned to receive childcare training through MISC or through an education program focused on improving children's health and nutrition.
After a year, the children whose caregivers received the MISC training showed significantly more developmental progress than the others, with particularly strong gains in language learning. They also developed better memory and overall cognitive skills.
The training didn't just help the children. Caregivers in both groups showed decreased symptoms of depression and anxiety, which Boivin said may be due to the social support provided through the biweekly training sessions.
Boivin and colleagues are doing similar research involving children who are HIV-infected, and early evidence suggests MISC can actually extend their lives by improving the care they receive.
The training program - developed by study collaborator Pnina Klein of Bar Ilan University in Israel - can be used in nearly any setting where poverty, disease and other factors threaten early-childhood development, Boivin said, since it involves no special tools or expensive equipment.
"MISC is sustainable in resource-limited settings because it doesn't require outside materials," he said. "It has the potential to alter the caregiving culture in a community once it takes hold."
Alteration To The Caregiving Culture Benefits Children Of AIDS Patients
A simple in-home training program for caregivers can give children of AIDS patients a better shot at prosperity by improving their early-childhood development, according to a study led by a Michigan State University researcher.

Bethel's Jeff Nelson to umpire the plate for Game 7 of World Series
It's been quite the year for Bethel alum, Jeff Nelson.
Not only was Nelson invited to be an umpire in his home state at the 2014 MLB All-Star Game held at Minnesota's own Target Field, but he was also announced as a member of the 2014 MLB World Series crew several weeks ago.
Wednesday evening, however, Nelson will reach perhaps the pinnacle of professional umpiring, as he will be called upon to be the home plate umpire for the game seven matchup between the San Francisco Giants and the Kansas City Royals.
Nelson, who previously worked the 2005 and 2009 World Series, is in his 17th year as an umpire for Major League Baseball. Prior to his time in the big leagues, Nelson worked 10 years in the Minor League system and spent his first season with the Pioneer League-a rookie league in Utah.
Throughout his career Nelson has not only worked in three World Series, but he has also been a part of five league championship series and five division series.
In an interview earlier this summer Nelson noted, "Being a student at Bethel was the first time I had to leave home and live on my own. The institution helped me identify who I wanted to be and how I wanted to live outside the comfort of home. Now that I travel all of the time, I see how much Bethel shaped me to be a man of integrity, especially while being on the road."
Fans can watch game seven of the 2014 MLB World Series on Fox Wednesday night, with first pitch scheduled for 7:07 p.m.–

Struggling with Pain? Do Not Dismiss the Possibility of CBD
Pain relief is a serious topic today because of the current opioid epidemic ravaging cities and towns across the United States. Many doctors and patients are rethinking how to control pain to help reduce the risk of addiction in the future. People that are suffering from chronic pain may be hesitant to consider the use of a product that is derived from what many people consider a mind-altering substance. However, that worry is unfounded in this instance because CBD oil, or Cannabidiol, is not psychoactive.
How is CBD oil produced?
Hemp comes from the same plant as marijuana and is the least processed form of cannabis. CBD oil is pressed from hemp flowers, stalks and leaves. It does not cause the "high" people think about when cannabis is mentioned because it does not contain Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). THC is the psychoactive compound in cannabis that recreational users seek. Hemp oil is legally used in many manufactured products including eco-friendly paints, food and personal care products.
How does it help with pain?
CBD oil works as an anti-inflammatory that may relieve swelling that helps to reduce joint pain and increase mobility. It may also aid with anxiety issues and this could lead to additional pain relief as people are better able to relax and enjoy more restorative sleep. It is thought that CBD oil works by attaching to receptors in the human body and increases the ability of the body to use more of the cannabinoids it produces naturally.
Are there risks?
CBD oil is not addictive or mind-altering. It is legal in all 50 states when it is derived from hemp. It is considered a supplement and has not been definitively proven to be a "cure" for anything, so it should not replace prescribed medication or other physician-recommended treatments. Some users have mentioned digestive upset when using CBD oil, but starting with a low dose and not taking the product on an empty stomach will reduce that risk.
Medical research is still needed to provide a complete picture of how effective cannabis products are in treating pain and disease and exactly how they accomplish these feats. However, many people have offered anecdotal evidence of amazing changes in their own lives. The low cost and availability of the oil make experimenting with it easy to accomplish.
There are multiple ways to use the product, but CBD capsules eliminate the need to smoke and enable people to gauge their consumption easier than tinctures. Anyone currently on prescription medication should speak to their doctor or resources like Phytoptima to confirm there will be no interactions or complications from its use.

Colorado Cruise 2003 – Day 3: Exploring ColoradoPosted: September 16, 2003 Filed under: Scooters Leave a comment
- Scott, Joe, Paul, Jeff & Uncle John
- Telluride, CO to Breckenridge, CO
- 351 miles
The third day of a trip is always special. It takes two days to unwind enough and shed the tensions of work. One awakes on the third day to find a certain peace of mind forming. All you are thinking of now is the superb riding ahead and how great it is to be alive. You make eye contact with your riding buddies and you see they, too, are feeling the change. We discuss the day's ride at breakfast and no one is too concerned about what or where we are going. Let's just ride.
Every time we stop to enjoy a vista, little is said. We just stand there, soak it all in and then grin at each other. The mountain roads are perfect; twists and turns, little or no traffic, uphill and downhill. This is why we came.

No student was permitted to study judo by my martial arts grandmaster until they had earned a black belt in tai kwon do. The belief was that tai kwon do made you strong from the outside-in, whereas, judo made you strong from the inside-out. I can honestly say that my judo training was the most strenuous physical activity I ever experienced.
One day, when I was a yellow belt (the color following white), we had a visiting red belt (the color preceding black) student from a sister-school, with whom I was partnered, as we learned a complex new leg and hip throw. The black belt instructor demonstrated the task several times with another black belt instructor and then it was our turn.
Five pairs of students were instructed to practice the challenging task with the "uke" throwing the "tori" ten times after which the roles switched. The initial move was for the uke to grab the "gi"of the tori, quickly slide the rear foot alongside the opposite foot of the tori, then with a slight but assertive hip-bump, easily and effortlessly throw tori over uke's hip to the ground.
My red belt partner was several inches taller than I, perhaps thirty pounds or more heavier and at least twenty years younger. Each and every time his hip collided into my hip, I could feel increasing muscle and bone injury. Again and again, until his ten failed practice attempts were finished, I found myself grimacing in considerable pain with a stoic commitment to remaining a worthy tori until it was my turn to be the uke.
Thereafter, I successfully threw him ten consecutive times without fail whereupon, in disbelief, he inquired: "How could a relative beginner accomplish in his first and nine subsequent moves what an experienced judo practitioner was not able to accomplish in ten moves?" whereupon, I replied: "Each time you performed the move incorrectly, I was learning what specifically NOT to do so, actually, you are responsible for teaching me how to correctly perform this difficult throw."
Our visiting red belt beamed with gleeful pride and for the remainder of the training session was very happy with himself while I, on the other hand, gingerly practiced for the next hour, all-the-while diligently protecting a sorely bruised hip knowing that it would probably take weeks to heal and for all the black-and-blue marks to go away.
The moral of my judo lesson is that there are many ways to learn a particular skill or complex competency but while successive successful approximations to criterion may apply in a traditional learning theory paradigm, one may also derive significant benefit from acquiring those successive unsuccessful approximations to what is NOT the criterion.
As uke, I was immediately able to successfully throw tori, ten times in a row, because when tori was uke, what he did when I was tori, was dead wrong and I was the fortunate, receptive and grateful beneficiary of what the experience of all of his failures eventually taught me when it was my turn, as uke, to demonstrate what I had learned from his mistakes.

American Bantam History:
American Austin Car Company was founded in 1929. in Butler. Pennsylvania in premises that had belonged to the Standard Steel Car Company. [2] Their intention was to assemble and sell in the United States a version of the Austin 7 car. called American Austin. [3] After some initial success the Great Depression set in. and sales fell off to the point that production was suspended. In 1934 the company filed for bankruptcy.
The automobile was designed in the hopes of creating a market for small-car enthusiasts in the United States. The cars had 747 cc (45. 6 cu in) inline-four engines. enabling the car to return 40 mpg-US (48 mpg-imp; 5. 9 L/100 km). and travel 1. 00 miles or 1. 00 kilometers per 2 US qt (1. 7 imp qt; 1. 9 l) fill of oil. [4] It was capable of 50 mph (80 km/h) in high gear. [5] Styling resembled small Chevrolets. with Stutz- and Marmon-style horizontal hood louvres. The bodies were designed by Alexis de Sakhnoffsky and made by the Hayes Body Company of Detroit. The coupe was billed as a sedan. and sold for $445. slightly less than a Ford V8 roadster. The Great Depression made the cheaper secondhand cars more appealing. so sales dropped off.
More than 8. 00 cars were sold during the company's first (and best) year of sales. but sales fell off to the point that production was suspended in 1932. It restarted in 1934 with bodies now made in-house. but stopped again between 1935 and 1937.
About 20. 00 cars were produced.
Beginning in the 1960s. the car gained a following with hot rodders. as well as among drag racers. The 75 in (1. 00 mm) wheelbase[5] made it attractive. even compared to the Anglia.
In 1935. Roy Evans. a former salesman for Austin. bought out the bankrupt company. which was reorganized under the name American Bantam. The formal connection with UK Austin was severed. though a relationship was maintained. A series of changes was made to the American Austin car design. including a modified engine. and an exterior sheetmetal designed by Alexis de Sakhnoffsky.
Production was resumed in 1937. and continued through 1941. Despite a wide range of Bantam body styles. ranging from light trucks to woodie station wagons. only about 6. 00 Bantams of all types were produced.
American Bantam's 1938 model is famous for being the inspiration for Donald Duck's car. Donald Duck's car was first seen in Don Donald (1937).

Difference Between Cold and Sinus Infection
Because the symptoms can be quite similar, it can be hard to tell the difference between a sinus infection and a cold. To make matters even more confusing, sinus infections and colds frequently occur together. This makes sense, as the two conditions are often caused by the same viruses.
Within the category of sinusitis, it can be difficult to tell which type you have: viral or bacterial. Signs or symptoms that a viral infection might have turned into a bacterial sinus infection include:
- Symptoms have not improved within 10 days. Often, symptoms of an upper respiratory infection may not be completely gone within 10 days; however, a sinus infection may be suspected if the symptoms don't seem to be improving at all.
- Severe symptoms. Bacteria tend to cause more severe infections than viruses. If the following symptoms are present for three to four consecutive days, this may be a bacterial sinus infection:
- High fever (at least 102ºF or 39ºC)
- Thick, colored nasal discharge
- Person feels ill.
- Worsening symptoms or symptoms returning ("double sickening"). In this situation, the person appears to be getting better, but on about day 6 or 7, symptoms get worse again.
(Click Cold or Sinus Infection to learn more about this topic. This article provides a table that contains helpful side-by-side comparisons of cold, flu, and sinusitis symptoms.)

This product currently belongs to the following genres:
Associated media:
Created by:
A lovely Norwegian song telling the story of the earth as our mother and our grave frames a fast middle section infused with rhythms and harmonies from the Eastern Cape, South Africa.
The scale of the Norwegian song is a mixolydian scale in A and the South African is a hexatonic scale in G, based on the notes of the major triads of G and A, typical of the musical bow, the "mhrube", of the area. The two scales share enough notes to be able to easily communicate with each other.
Just as in the other song of the north included in Kvintessens, "Lyft jorden", the middle section introduces a contrasting theme from another part of the world. This is deliberate. Music has always had this way of wanting to integrate "the other", thus showing the rest of society the way. The most "traditional" Swedish national dances are all well-adapted immigrants; the polska, (Poland) the schottis, (Scotland) the hambo (Hamburg) to name but a few.
Tips for rehearsal and performance:
This song looks hard – on paper… And it is if you try to sing it from the paper. But the fast middle section consists basically of two patterns, with slight alterations lyricly. It becomes even easier if you allow for some freedom within that form. Instead of doing the song exactly as written give the conductor freedom to build it. What is important to hold on to is the grand dynamic arch, from piano to fortissimo and back again. But within that form feel free to build it the way you feel fitting, communicating directly with the choir and soloist when to change pattern. That makes the score even more redundant. And the music even more free.

ALS Diagnosis
There is no single test used to make an ALS diagnosis. An ALS diagnosis is typically based on a person's symptoms, such as spasticity and muscle weakness. Tests used to rule out other diseases before making an accurate ALS diagnosis include magnetic resonance imaging and electromyography. In order for your doctor to make a definitive ALS diagnosis, he or she will also need your full medical history and will conduct a neurological exam.
Although there is no test that can provide a definitive ALS diagnosis, the presence of upper and lower motor neuron signs in a single limb is strongly suggestive. However, an ALS diagnosis is based primarily on the signs and symptoms that appear and on a series of tests that rule out other diseases.
In order for your doctor to make an ALS diagnosis, he or she will need to obtain your full medical history and conduct a neurological examination. The examination will be performed at regular intervals to assess whether possible symptoms of ALS are getting progressively worse.
Possible symptoms of ALS include:
- Muscle weakness
- Atrophy of muscles
- Hyperreflexia
- Spasticity.
Appropriate tests must be conducted to exclude the possibility of other conditions, because symptoms of ALS can be similar to those of other, more treatable diseases or disorders.
Tests that are used to make an ALS diagnosis include:
- Electromyography (EMG)
- Nerve conduction velocity (NCV)
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
- Blood and urine tests
- Muscle biopsy.
Electromyography (EMG) is a test that uses a special recording technique that detects electrical activity in muscles. Certain EMG findings can support the diagnosis of ALS.

We offer two free training plans -- one geared towards beginners running their first half marathon, and one for intermediate runners who are looking to run stronger and faster.
Both programs are 14 weeks and require just four days of running per week. Both include one "long run" each week, which increases in distance over the course of the program. They also include a variety of other workouts, like easy runs, tempo runs, race-pace runs, and cross-training.
The programs end two weeks before race day. Use this time to "taper" so your legs will be fresh for the race.

Third book done and dusted. I only enjoyed the last quarter of this book, the book begins almost immediately with a card game. It was interesting and very thorough, Fleming clearly knows his card games, and his champagne, even the popular delicacies of a rich bachelor in the 1950's. However, none of the fancy talk could distract from the fact that most of this book is a dragged out card game.
When he finally moved onto the mission at hand, I spent a wee while almost in a daze whilst reading about a rocket being built, because it was not very interesting. Something about metal and the extraordinary melting point, being built by Germans blah blah…really couldn't tell you much more.
Just when I thought I would have to drag myself through the rest of the book, it got thrilling and kept me on the edge of my tube seat on a few journeys. This seems to be the norm for the Bond series, they begin rather technical and then get really good at the last minute.
What I enjoyed most about this book, is that the reality question I mentioned in my previous Bond review, is actually more realistic than in his first two books. The book is set post WW2 and is focused around a big nuclear weapon being built by a German in collaboration with some Russians, a story that was published mid Soviet Union nuclear capabilities scare. Obviously Bond succeeds in stopping the attack and is the unsung hero of the day, a very clever way Fleming alleviates some nuclear stress from the Great British public, Kudos to you good sir!

The University of the Basque Country, at its Donostia-San Sebastián campus, houses the Museum of Education, which won the Manuel Bartolomé Cossío prize in 2015 for its work in maintaining educational heritage. The museum's objective is to "recover, safeguard, and make the historical memory of education in the Basque Country public." Walking through its 7 halls, one steps into the past, traveling through the different phases of education and Basque language teaching in the Basque Country.
The museum has two recreations of classrooms, one from the 1950s-60s and the other from the 1970s. They are detailed to perfection, not only including furniture but also notebooks, backpacks, and other personal effects. The contrast is stark between the two and it helps to show the evolution of classrooms and education in general. Special attention is brought to the use of Basque in education, and much of the museum is dedicated to this. Educational materials are also on display and visitors are encouraged to visit the library, which is full of research on the subject of the history of education.
Unless you're living in the Basque Country, you might have a hard time trying to visit. However, you can check out the following article, which includes a video (in Spanish) of the museum: http://www.ehu.eus/es/web/guest/preview-campusa/-/asset_publisher/1O7v/content/n_20160916-museo-educacion

We all know that essential oils and water do not mix, but that doesn't mean they can't be used together. I find water to be an excellent medium since it has a really high energy and can carry the imprints of thought and memory.
Bach Flower Remedies function upon these principles; the water carries the energetic imprint of the plant and this imprint is what carries the healing properties. The same thing goes for Homeopathy. Remember that only a very tiny amount of energy is needed to communicate to one cell, and all cells communicate with each-other.
2/3 of the earth is covered in water, 2/3 of our bodies are water…So water would be a connecting link between all living. Everything is magnified by water; sight, sound. We all know that water carries sound. Under water we can effortlessly hear sounds that could not be heard above water.
Take a look at the work of Dr. Masaru Emoto:
His website is: http://www.masaru-emoto.net/english/e_ome_home.html
Dr. Masaru Emoto freely admits that he is not a scientist and that his work is not scientifically valid – yet. But if we would only believe "scientifically valid" there would be no more questions, no more research, no more mental evolution. I think these pictures speak for themselves, and I also think people should think and believe from themselves.
- Skin: Add 5 dr. of essential oils to 200ml pure spring, distilled or filtered water in a spray bottle and shake. Leave for 3 days, shaking the mix every day, and filter through a paper coffee filter. Use this as a facial spray to boost emotion and hydrate your skin.
- Air cleanser: Add 10-20 dr. of essential oils to 200ml pure spring, distilled or filtered water in a spray-bottle and shake. Spray to cleanse the air after a fight or in a sick-room or just to freshen up. Always shake first so the drops are "mixed" with the water. Don't spray directly on skin (could cause a rash or irritation) or surfaces (might leave stains).
- Drink: To a 1/2 liter water-bottle add 2 drops of essential oils; lemon, orange, grape or eucalyptus. Either filter or shake the bottle before drinking. Great energy-boost and helpful to the immune-system.
- Hydrosols (see below) are excellent for skin-care. Put in a spray-bottle and use during the day for a great pick-me-up, if the scent is too strong, dilute it with pure spring, distilled or filtered water. Can be used directly on the skin unless skin is extremely sensitive; then dilute with water.
When plant-matter is steam-distilled to extract the essential oil, water is used. The end result gives an essential oil and the "perfumed" water. This water has its own characteristics that are different from essential oils, tinctures or infusions. These waters contain trace-elements of the essential oil and all the water-soluble particles in the plant-matter that are light enough in weight to be carried by the steam. A hydrosol smells somewhat like the essential oil but greener. In the old days plants were distilled only for the waters that were used for medicine, cosmetic purposes, cooking and house-keeping. Rose and orange-flower waters are still widely used in traditional Eastern cooking.

National Film Registry Class of 2009
1 comment:

A music video in the National Film Registry? If they wanted to do that, why not include the 1st video MTV ever played, "Video Killed the Radio Star", by the Buggles? They're only including Thriller as a posthumous induction to add to the resume of Michael Jackson. A mere music video does not belong in the registry.
Of course, given what's happened to MTV in recent years, putting it on demand would be just the thing to drive the channel into rethinking its current programming strategy.
As for the Muppets, well, they do have a few Disney movies in the registry, don't they? If they feel Kermit is on a par with Mickey Mouse as a cultural icon, I don't have a problem with that.
Next thing ya know, they'll open a wing for Ed Wood or someone just as bad.....

Sharni Vinson
Hand-picked to join DANCE BOSS, the thirdgeneration dancer and actor needed no persuasion to leave her Hollywood digs and return home to Australia to once again make her mark on Aussie TV.
"I am beyond excited to be back on Australian soil and surrounded by the contagious spirit of dance," says Sharni, who is trained in ballet, contemporary, hip hop, tap and acrobatics.
"I'm hoping DANCE BOSS will give people the confidence to want to dance - these teams are proving you don't have to be trained to be a dancer, you just have to have a passion for it." Sharni also describes the program as an opportunity for contestants "to escape everyday lives and live out their dreams of performing. It should all be about having fun. The best way to do that is to bring their individual styles and personalities to the performance."
Sharni, who's late grandmother Shirley was a prima ballerina, began singing, dancing and acting at a young age training at the Brent Street School of Performing Arts in Sydney.
In 2004, Sharni joined Channel Seven's Home and Away playing abused teenager Cassie Turner. Her performance in the role earned her a nomination for Most Popular New Talent at the 2006 TV Week Logie Awards.
After leaving the shores of Home and Away, Sharni found international fame playing the coveted role of Natalie in the US box office smash hit Step Up 3D, the third installment of Disney's globally successful Step Up dance film franchise. "SU3D was one of the hardest yet most rewarding experiences in my life. I was surrounded by the world's best dancers which was intimidating and inspiring at the same time," recalls Sharni. "I hadn't danced in a few years; it was my first lead film role and I'd never done an American accent before, so it really pushed me out of my comfort zone. But it helped reignite my love for dance."
After her breakout role in Step Up 3D, Sharni landed more high-profile film roles including Blue Crush 2: Wild Coast, the sequel to the original surf classic Blue Crush, the Australian shark thriller, Bait and home invasion horror film, You're Next.
A role in Jackie Chan's 2014 adventure epic Dragon Blade followed in which she starred opposite John Cusack and Adrien Brody.
Sharni's other television credits include guest roles on CSI:NY, NCIS and Cold Case. She also stars in Adi Shankar's latest superhero series set to air on Netflix in November opposite Jane Seymour, Denise Richards and WWE wrestler, Diamond Dallas Page."

The NHS recommends at least 3 hours of moderate exercise per week to stay healthy. But If you are like me and feel intimated by all the super-toned people at the gym here are some ideas you can incorporate into your everyday routine instead;
1. Fidgeting
Although this may annoy anyone you sit next, people who fidget burn around 300 extra calories per day. If you take the average calories content of a pound of body fat to be 3500, (300×365)/3500 = 31.3 pounds is how much weight you could lose in a year, besides the increased muscle tone you would eventually get. Fidgeting doesn't have to mean simply tapping your foot; other ways include walking around whilst on the phone and getting up from your desk about once every hour to do a few stretches.
2. At-home workout videos
Thanks mainly to YouTube, you can now have a virtual personal trainer for free in your own home. My favourite channel by far is Fitness Blender who have videos for all ages/abilities/muscle groups etc. Alternatively, if you have game such as Just Dance, do a couple of dances for cardio and in between do a few minutes of strength training such as lifting weights (bottles of water work well if you don't have dumbbells) or doing abs exercises such as crunches.
3. Gardening
Gardening is a great overall workout that you probably you don't realise you're doing; 30 minutes digging followed by 30 minutes planting seeds burns around 400 calories! The best part is you'll have an amazing garden to enjoy in the spring and summer.
4. Dancing
I went properly clubbing for the first time this week, and after a few hour of non-stop dancing my stomach felt like I'd just done 1000 crunches. Okay, maybe that's a slight exaggeration, but dancing burns 200-400 calories per hour (the crazier the dancing the better the workout!), and you'll probably be having too much fun to realise you're exercising.
5. Ditch the car/bus
This may seem obvious but walk/cycle whenever you can. Although it may be more time consuming in that a 10 minute car/bus journey probably takes 30 minutes to walk, you get to enjoy the fresh air and see some wildlife early in the morning/late in the evening you otherwise wouldn't see.

Big Pine Paiute Tribe wins appeal to have LADWP fix pipeline
Editor's note:
This story was first published in the April 2017 edition of First Nation's Focus.
LOS ANGELES — Speaking on behalf of the Big Pine Paiute Tribe, Chairwoman Shannon Romero extends a sincere thanks to the many people, near and far, who supported their five-year struggle to get the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) to repair its broken pipeline that caused the community to lose half its irrigation water.
More than 40 people gave public comments at the March 21 meeting of the Los Angeles Board of Water and Power Commissioners, held at LADWP headquarters.
"The day was an amazing show of solidarity with people uniting to demand that LADWP do the right thing," said Romero. "The letters, prayers, public statements, and words of encouragement were heard by the Commissioners. I'm happy to report that the next day, March 22, the Tribe was informed that LADWP will fix the pipe within the next six weeks, so that our community will receive irrigation water in time for the 2017 growing season."
Tribal representatives from the Owens Valley, including Big Pine tribal elders, youth and staff, made the eight-hour trip to Los Angeles, where they were joined by Southern California citizens concerned about the issue.
Four hours north in Bishop, Calif., about 40 people crowded into a small conference room where the Commission meeting was being telecast, and more citizens added their concerns about the Tribe not getting its share of water.
The support and testimony provided during the public comment resulted in an uncharacteristic response — each of the Commissioners engaged speakers and replied during the meeting, and one of the commissioners said that she would personally assist in resolving the water crisis by providing the funds needed to fix the pipe out of her own pocket.
The Tribe is pleased with the commitment by LADWP to fix the pipe, Romero said, but vigilance is needed to ensure LADWP carries out the pipe replacement in a timely manner, and ongoing consultation is needed to resolve longterm water rights issues.
"The Tribe and others in Owens Valley continue to struggle with establishing a meaningful working relationship with LADWP," she said. "The Tribe has unmet consultation needs and unresolved water rights issues. It concerns the Tribe that commitments critical to life and the future of Owens Valley tribes — which were spelled out in the 1939 land exchange agreement between the City of Los Angeles and United States of America — may no longer be a priority for DWP.
"The Big Pine Reservation is adversely affected by ongoing impacts due to LADWP's water gathering activities, including the excessive amount of groundwater pumping from the Big Pine area, and LADWP's apparent apathy toward fulfilling decades-old mitigation obligations. The Tribe is committed to continuing its efforts to work with LADWP leaders to develop ways to move forward cooperatively and resolve problems in a streamlined, non-confrontational manner."
Jill Paydon is administrator of the Big Pine Paiute Tribe of the Owens Valley.

Late Night Snuggles
Can I make a confession?
We lie down with our kids before they fall asleep. Until they fall asleep.
I know, I know, we are supposed to let them fall asleep on their own. They won't grow up to be normal human beings…yada yada yada.
Let me tell you why we do it. They ask us to.
When the day was yucky, busy, or harried, they ask us to. After they've been having a hard time listening, I've said things I'd like to take back, or I've been too busy to play, they ask me to. When Ty's been at work working hard all day, they ask him to. What grace!
At the end of the day, it is sometimes the nicest time we've had all day.
For the most part, the bedtime routine is Ty's responsibility, and has been since Noah was a baby. It is a great time for me to stop at the end of the day and relax. It's been so helpful to me, and has been such a blessing. But many times, one of them will ask if I will lie down with them, and it's hard to resist.
We love praying with them, reading their favorite Bible stories and favorite books, and snuggling with them while they fall asleep. They tell us what is in their hearts, what they are sad about, what they're excited about.
I know that these moments will get more and more important as they grow up. They will be very instrumental in raising Spartans.
It's so sweet to watch them drift off to sleep and hear their breaths hit a steady rhythm. There's something comforting about knowing that we made it through another day and that tomorrow is new. We can start again with new kindness, new patience, and new adventures. And no matter what, we will end it together again the next day.
I know that someday they may not want us to lie with them anymore, and that is a day I will mourn. I will mourn for the loss of this tender time we spend together. Too often I can't wait for the end of the day, and it'll be sad when the end of that day won't end with us snuggling together, spending at least one special moment together.
So that's my confession. We lie with our kids until they fall asleep. And we wouldn't change it for anything.
Sometimes Ty forgets to get up when the kids fall asleep and this is how I find all three of them. 🙂
When are your most special moments? Are you an early morning family that wakes up and snuggles together instead? Do you just throw future sleeping habits to the wind and snuggle in bed with your little ones like we do?

I can honestly say that Cole Rise's photography stopped me in my tracks a few days ago. I dropped what I was doing and spent a good 20 minutes looking through his site. He really has a unique eye for detail. I found myself staring at beautiful landscapes and being amazed at how much visual interest a small silhouette of a cow or a bird flying in the distance could add to the composition. His work with people as a subject matter is also equally interesting.
Check out his website at colerise.com or his Flickr stream.

I'm a passionate advocate of all things handdrawn, including handdrawn illustrations over computer made. The fear of having a look that's too 'smooth', too much 'computer like' made me choose to always use handmade textures, lines and fills in my work (and then use the computer for assembling only).
My way of working is fun but very time consuming though and sometimes, expecially with clients who present a very very thight deadline, I feel these handmade rules I've set for myself are working against me.
Therefor, I'm carefully and mindfully going a bit towards a somewhat more quick and computer made alterative. I've found an amazing set of photoshop brushes by Kyle T Webster that looks like it might be the perfect compromise between handdrawn (or painted) and computer made. In the above picture some quick scribbles with a few of the brushes but the collection (I bought several in a package) is much bigger.
For more about Kyle Webster's brushes, see this website.
