text: Where we work Latin America Bolivia Bolivia Population: 10 million Area: 1,098,580 km2 Climate: Tropical Jungle ('Oriente') to Cold Highlands ('Altiplano') Capital/Seat of Government: Sucre/La Paz Currency: Boliviano People: 50% Highland Amerindian, 44% Mixed Race, 4% Lowland Amerindian, 2% German Official Languages: Spanish and all 36 languages of the indigenous nations and peoples Religion: 91% Christian (16% evangelical), 9% Other faiths/none Geography and climate Read more Bolivia is a country of great cultural and geographical diversity and beauty. It is the highest and most isolated of the Latin American countries, right at the heart of the continent and landlocked. It has the high, cold and dry, mountain-rimmed Altiplano to the west; medium elevation valleys in the middle; and low, hot and wet forested plains in the east and north-east. La Paz is one of the highest cities in the world at just under 12,000 feet. Not all cities are yet linked by paved roads, and transport to areas outside main towns and cities can be unpredictable. Bolivia is rich in natural resources, especially minerals, gas, petroleum, hardwoods, soya and other crops, including potatoes, rice, corn, sugar cane, yucca and bananas. Coca cultivation is on the increase. Politics and economics Read more Since the last dictatorship was ousted and democracy reinstated in 1982, Bolivia has had ten presidents, including one ex-dictator. Its economy has been weak for many years, though successive leaders have tried in various ways to bring about stability and growth. The story of the last decade has been the rising up of the 60 per cent indigenous population, marginalised by the elite ruling class, to protest against perceived injustices. Direct action in the form of marches, strikes and road blocks over issues revolving around land rights and the management of natural resources and utilities has been common, and in many cases effective. People and society Read more Bolivia is multicultural, with dozens of ethnic groups and a small proportion of descendants of immigrants from different parts of the world. The new constitution, approved in a referendum in 2008, recognises Spanish and the 36 languages of the indigenous nations and peoples as official languages. In 2006, 60 per cent of the population was classed as living in poverty, with 38 per cent living in extreme poverty – the majority of these living in rural areas. About half the population is currently under the age of 15. Family remains important, with most people living close to their family. However, values are changing, with money becoming more important than family in many cases. The economic situation has led to the migration of more than two million Bolivians to Spain, the USA and Argentina. Frequently, one parent goes, leaving the spouse and children behind. This has led to family disintegration, with the separated parents often taking other partners, or leaving children to grow up alone. Religion and the Church Read more Historically, the Roman Catholic Church was the official church in Bolivia and enjoyed special benefits. However the new constitution says: 'The State respects and guarantees freedom of religion and spiritual beliefs, according to one's worldview. The State is independent of religion.' Nevertheless, the government particularly promotes the traditional religions of the original peoples. This has met with resistance from both the evangelical church and the Catholic Church (despite its history of tolerating syncretism). The majority of evangelicals have in the past come from the lower classes, and these are the people being most politicised by the government and encouraged to return to 'traditional' beliefs and practices. The evangelical church has not been very interested in social action until recently. However, some of the Bible and mission training colleges are starting to include integral (holistic) mission in the syllabus. Latin Link's work in Bolivia Read more The Latin Link Bolivia team is growing and vibrant, with a good number of members serving longer term and many others coming each year on the shorter term Stride and Step programmes. They serve in a wide range of ministries, including work with children and young people at risk, strengthening churches by developing leadership alongside national Christians, student work, prison and justice work, evangelistic outreach, and social action. Mission opportunities in Bolivia Read more Bolivians are easy to relate to, informal, and open to God's word. The Latin Link Bolivia team would love to see more people working with churches, especially in parts of the country outside the main cities. Given the current political situation, we don't need people who are just theologians. Instead we need professionals to work in social projects and be involved in holistic mission, ready to teach and preach, and disciple believers, including large numbers of children and young people. The church remains vulnerable in many cases and help is needed to strengthen it in culturally appropriate ways. There is a need to prepare leaders and help people embody their Christian identity beyond church on a Sunday. So the Bolivia team is looking for people with a heart to serve God and be sensitive to the culture here; people ready to live alongside and encourage Bolivian believers, even when that is not comfortable, and model servant leadership to them; people willing to pioneer, to be prepared to go to places where there are few comforts and no other foreigners; and people willing to study and to learn Spanish (or the other languages spoken in Bolivia) well. For more information, please see the Opportunities page of our International website (this will open a new tab).

At Keystone we do things differently, and have since we first opened our doors in 1996. This different way means focusing on you, our customer, and building RVs that are much more than great floor plans and prices. It starts with innovative products that are built tough, and doesn't stop there. It's our commitment to provide a better ownership experience. We understand that when you put your hard earned money down, you expect your RV to deliver as promised. That's why "Building Adventures for the Long Haul" is more than just a slogan here at Keystone; it is our number one mission each and every day. It's the reason today we are honored to say we have nearly one million Keystone owners out on the open road who we consider family.

Happy Birthday: Rotarians around the world. Congratulations on another lap around the sun.

Last Meeting:
Karna Halverson, chair of the Northfield Area Foundation, said as the organization celebrates its 15th anniversary, she wants to bring it out of the shadows and help more people learn about its work.
The foundation was created in 1993 as a community endowment. It receives, manages and disburses resources to the benefit of the larger Northfield community. Contributions from individuals, families, businesses and charitable organizations build the endowment. The gifts are never spent; they are invested. The yield supports the work of local community organizations from the Community Action Center and Project SIGHT to Epic Enterprises and HealthFinders. The foundation has benefited from two major gifts, one from Dorothy and Marston Headley in 2000 and another from the Ruth Nutting Family in 2006..
Last year, the foundation awarded more than $25,000 in grants to 10 community projects that addressed community needs in the areas of youth education, diversity and the environment.
Karna encouraged people with questions or comments on the work of the foundation to contact her.
Rotary Member Minute – Ken Bank said his 21-year tenure in Rotary has been a great experience. He chose this club because of its vibrancy and capacity for getting things done, both locally and abroad. He said he has not been disappointed and will heartily recommend membership to his successor.
Guests: Austin Enriquez Wakely (Wakely) and Elvira (Dilley)

Buster Lang, a set on Flickr.
I am in the fortunate situation to be invited to be part of Ghetto Rags UK Ltd.
The 'brand' has come over from Detroit, has been going since 1988 and sells many 'units' to the likes of Harley Davison.
The designer Kris has been doing this type of stuff since the late 70′s for Iggy Pop (The Stooges), Kid Rock and Alice Cooper – so he has quite a long list of credits to his name.
We now have the licence in Europe. have a look.
The pics are from a hotrod meet a few weeks ago where I took leave to use some of the cars to best effect.

Derwent Water Keswick
Derwent Water is one of the smaller Lakeland lakes, whilst being set within one of the most beautiful valleys of the Lake District as the lake occupies part of Borrowdale and is immediately south of Keswick. Derwentwater is surrounded by some stunning scenery and the very popular fells and walks such as Skiddaw and Cat Bells walk.
Derwent water measures approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) long by 1 mile (2.6 km) wide and is some 72 feet (22 m) deep, with several islands within the lake, one of which is inhabited, and that being Derwent Island House, an 18th century residence, which has a National Trust property and has a tenant, although open to the public on five days each year.
Derwent Water is fed by the river Derwent from the catchment area in the high fells at the head of Borrowdale. The lake is very beautiful to take pictures of with absolute calm in the early mornings and a mirror effect of the fells upon the water, and often times at dawn the fells will be a stunning red colour as the sun rises, with swirls of mist upon the water, although you can find waves splashing against Friar's Crag when driven by a southerly Gale.
Derwent Water Launch
Derwent Water has a regular passenger launch operating upon the lake, taking passengers between various landing stages. There are seven lakeside marinas, the most popular stops being, Keswick boat landing, Portinscale and the Ladore Falls. Should you stay upon the launch as it makes it way around the lake to enjoy this journey, it will take approximately 50 minutes round trip.
There is very little car parking around the Ladore Falls so taking the Derwent Water launch is a great way to see the lake and also incorporate this in to seeing the Ladore Falls, although this is best done after rain for a more stunning scene.
The most popular way to enjoy the beauty of Derwent Water, whilst visiting the Keswick area is by walking the shores and footpaths around the lake, or sit upon a bench and watch the toing's and throwing's of the launch at the Theatre in the Park jetty and the Lakeside Car Park which is a pay and display, as always.
Should you wish to get upon the water under your own steam you can hire rowing boats, and motors boats. Derwent Water is a peaceful place for the family, whether picnicking, fishing, swimming or simply walking.
Should you be looking for a Lakes walk I can personally recommend using the Derwent Water launch, embarking from Lakeside car park jetty and disembarking at Hawes End, to then walk one of the classic Lakeland fell walks of Cat Bells walk which I completed recently as was rewarded with some of these great pictures of Derwent Water. The footpaths around the lake follow the banks through some extremely attractive woodland offering truly spectacular views, which makes Derwent Water on of the most popular Lakeland areas for walkers.
Much of the surrounding land is now the property of the National Trust, the lake itself was one of the Trust's earliest acquisitions. The nearby Scarfell Pike was donated to the trust in memory of the men of Cumbria who gave their lives in the First World War.
For accommodation there is the 220 year old Barrow House Lake District Hostel which is an old mansion and ideally situated for a relaxing family or group break. Boasting extensive grounds with a large play area and woodlands, children will find plenty of space in which to enjoy. To book a hostel or hotel please look at our hotel and hostels pages. Whilst Keswick offers a multitude of Bed and Breakfast facilities.

Web Development Tools that Enlighten
Processing XML/RSS Data with PHP
In the beginning, the Internet was a simple mechanism for exchanging text data. Various markup tags were devised to represent various levels of text headings, paragraphs, lists, etc. At that time, those tags were sufficient to represent the data being exchanged. Now, more types of data are being represented and that data is being displayed on a variety of devices, not just visual web browsers. The problem was how to represent that data so that it could be displayed in some coherent fashion.
XML (eXtensible Markup Language) has great prospects for making data universally available in any number of formats. XML allows data providers to define their own markup tags so that data is defined more by what it is instead of the limited number of markup tags included in the HTML specifications.
Unfortunately, it may be years before browser support is adequate to take full advantage of the possibilities XML offers. However, server side scripting languages, such as PHP, implement XML parsing functionalities that can allow you to use XML today. Instead of sending XML to browser, you can parse and format it on the server, then send the resulting HTML to the browser, which knows perfectly well what to do with that.

Grading the President's Speech
President Bush held a prime-time press conference last night - only the fourth one of his presidency - in which he laid out his ideas on two issues, Social Security and Energy. Read the TRANSCRIPT here.
Addressing Social Security, the President reiterated the message he had put forth on his 60-day road tour - that Social Security is heading towards bankruptcy and needs to be fixed. Although his road tour has not been successful in selling his privatization plan to the public, I think it has been successful to the extent that the public is convinced that Social Security needs to be fixed. Although the President spoke only in generalities he did offer a glimpse of the plan he was putting forward.
According to the Bush plan, the payout of benefits would be based on a sliding scale, wherein benefits would be progressively reduced for those in higher income brackets. In addition, the President stated that the system should be set up in such a way that "benefits for low-income workers will grow faster than benefits for people who are better off". The President also continued to push his privatization plan saying that workers should have "the opportunity…of putting a portion of their payroll taxes into a voluntary personal retirement account". He added that investing in treasury bonds should be included as an option for those who have reservations about the safety of investing in the market. Following the speech, Republican strategist Ken Mehlman challenged critics of the Presidents's plan to stop playing politics and show up at the negotiating table with their own plans. This seems to me to be a reasonable request.
Personally, I am in favor of taking more control of my own money rather than have the government control it for me; however, I must say that I am not a big fan of the President's plan. I feel it is too risky (see my previous post on this topic). However, to his credit, the President has put something on the table. Despite the shortcomings of his plan, it offers a starting point for negotiating a workable solution to the problems that lie ahead for Social Security. The President has stated multiple times that he is open to any options that do not include a tax increase.
Those opposed to the plan have been critical of what the President has put forward, but they have not offered any proposals of their own, and in some cases appeared to be obstructing the President's attempts at negotiating a solution. For example, House minority leader Nancy Pelosi refused to allow other Democratics to attend a bipartisan meeting with the AARP to discuss possible reforms. Perhaps someone in her party should tell Ms. Pelosi to lead or get out of the way.
Addressing Energy policy, the President reminded us that our consumption has grown forty times faster than our production over the past 10 years. As such, we have become more reliant on foreign energy sources to satisfy our energy needs. To address this problem, the president suggested four key steps we need to take: conserve more energy, make to most of our existing energy resources, develop new sources of energy, and help growing energy consumers to become more efficient.
Personally, I think the President struck out here. Despite the lip-service he gave to developing new energy sources, he seemed to be focused on oil – how to get more of it both at home and abroad, and how to keep the oil price down. This is OK for today, but is short-sighted in the long run. This bypasses the very problem the President is attempted to address – our reliance on foreign energy. Negotiating with the oil shieks to step-up production and put more crude on the market may affect the prices we pay at the gas pump, but they do nothing to reduce our reliance on foreign energy.
In the Q&A following the speech, the President suggested that drilling in the Alaskan Nation Wild Refuge (ANWR) would help to reduce our reliance on foreign energy. Yes – but for how long? By all estimates that I have seen, there is really not much oil there to begin with. This is not a long-term solution. At best, it does very little to solve our energy problems and only serves to help the oil industry turn a quick buck. What about increasing the number of terminals that will allow us to import liquefied natural gas? While natural gas is more environmentally friendly than oil, and domestic energy resources such as the so-called "clean coal", it does not address the problem of our reliance on foreign energy!
If the President is really concerned about decreasing our reliance on foreign energy, he has to get out of bed with the oil industry and get serious about developing alternative energy sources. The President briefly mentioned that we need an active nuclear energy policy. On this I agree with him. Rather than get into a lengthy discussion on the topic, I suggest that the interested reader check out an insightful article on nuclear energy penned by Nicholas Kristof, OpEd columnist for the NYTimes.
At the end of the day it comes down to this - China and India are on the rise, and are after the same energy resources we currently rely on. Those resources won't last forever and are likely to become more expensive as the supplies dwindle and demand escalates. The US needs to develop new energy resources! We are more than capable of doing so, but are we willing? Do our leaders have their hands in the pockets of the oil industry? It seems so. If not, then why are we moving so slowly in developing new resources. Developing them will not happen overnight - it will take time. I am not sure what the President is waiting for.

Imagine Star Fox but with more flexibility and the ability to charge into some beasties and unleash some powerful attacks with a wide selection of weaponry… Got it? Now imagine yourself as an angel delivering justice of the Goddess to the scum of the Underworld? Excellent!
You're on your way to fully appreciating this game.
I have never played the original Kid Icarus on the NES, although I knew of its existence. My only proper interaction with Pit was when he appeared out of nowhere in Super Smash Bros Brawl, and it enraged me no end as I preferred actually knowing these vintage characters I was about to kick seven shades of the proverbial of. This still includes Ness and more recently Lucas.
Medusa, Queen of the Underworld returns as the ambitious baddie wanting to take over the world, and only Palutena the Goddess of Light and her half angel Pit (since he can't fly on his own apparently) rush to save the day, but is that all that is at work here? Uprising gives you the action in two flavours, each Chapter starts with Palutena giving Pit the power of flight for some on rails flying shooter action. Pit can only fly for five minutes before his wings burn up (sound familiar?) and so the action switches to ground level where melee attacks can be administered at close range. These are both linear in approach but the land based sections offer more freedom than the flying portions, by being able to stray off the beaten track a little to grab some extra goodies and take time to appreciate the detail in the landscapes which have been created. From a pirate ship in space, a fiery lava land and having the ocean parted for you – Moses style – the environments never get boring.
There are two main ways in which the gameplay can be affected massively – the huge selection of customizable weapons and the difficult configuration settings. Weapons can be collected throughout the game either during the main quest, buying new weapons with the in-game currency of hearts and the unusual lottery-esque Idol Toss, where tossing eggs in the air can reap rewards. Weapons can be beefed up with various powers using a Tetris block style fitting system. New and more powerful weapons can be created by fusing two previously owned weapons. This gives almost infinite possibilities as weapon A and B can create weapon C, but weapon A and D can create weapon C with bigger power. It's all in the mix.
The difficulty setting is controlled by the Fiend's Cauldron. At the start of each Chapter you wager hearts into the Cauldron. The higher the amount wagered equals higher the difficulty and the potential for higher rewards, assuming you survive of course. You have a choice between the numbers 0-9, but with all the .1s in-between. This means you have 90 difficulty settings. You will be rewarded for your daring, as doors to treasures will only open if the difficulty is set at an adequate level. Naturally this offers replay value, as you may have the Cauldron with only a small amount of hearts in just so you can get through the game, but the temptation of discovery will make you want to come back when you're a little braver to see what's behind that magical door.
The way you have to hold the 3DS to control this game is so awkward that a special stand has been bundled with the game. Being unable to play for longer than two minutes before the left hand starts aching like hell; I consider this essential to play with. This would imply the controls are fiddly, but the interface is far from it. The circle pad moves Pit, the touch screen controls your camera/reticule and the shoulder buttons are used to attack. Projectiles will be fired if an enemy is far away, or a melee attack should the enemy be too close. The style of which you will prefer will depend on your weapons stats. This reviewer preferred to shoot from a distance the majority of the time, as my weapons weren't as good up close, and Pit had a tendency to run in circles around the enemy many times before actually doing anything, and receiving damage in the process. The camera is also fiddly to control whilst up close to enemies and you'll find yourself frustrated as you move the stylus to find the perfect angle again and again.
The graphics remain smooth throughout, and there's no drop in the frame rate even when hordes of enemies are flying around you. The 3D is excellent and puts Starfox to shame when it comes to baddies firing stuff at you. The screenshots here don't do the game justice. And when things get too hectic it may be recommended to turn the 3D down a notch, as with some small ghosting I found myself shooting at shadows instead of the actual enemy itself.
The soundtrack is fully orchestrated and stunning throughout, and all the little chatty moments in every level by the main characters serve as a source of humour and even information as some enemy weaknesses are pointed out and a little history is provided. Even the bad guys get in on the act and the banter goes back and forth before you even meet them. These conversations break the fourth wall and refer to the fact that you're playing a video game in a style which exudes charm. Many old faces from the original NES game make an appearance and given a fresh coat of paint, many with voice acting to provoke you as you make your way to their lair and then make their displeasure known as you conquer them.
The option to play multiplayer is available either locally or online. On offer is Light v Dark, or just a good ol' fashioned free for all deathmatch. Another quirk which Uprising comes with is six random AR cards. They don't seem to affect the gameplay at all, but are pretty to look at once you hold your 3DS camera over and watch them spring into life. If you have two pointing towards each other they will battle each other. More cards are available via other ways like Nintendo's Stars Catalogue and given away with magazines.
Minor niggles aside there is not much to hate with Uprising. It is fun, colourful, quirky and no player can complain that it is too hard or too easy – Nintendo got that bit covered. Consideration has been taken towards the hands of the people of the world by the custom stand, which will no doubt be of benefit to gamers for future (or indeed past) 3DS titles. A game like this is something the 3DS has been waiting for.
A] Awesome soundtrack
B] Many weapons to unlock and collect
C] Fantastic difficulty management
D] Smooth 3D graphics
E] Essential stand provided
A] Controls can be fiddly
B] Action doesn't change much
Graphics 5/5
Sound 5/5
Gameplay 5/5
Playability 4/5
Lifespan 4/5

At least six of the 35 tornadoes to have touched down in the Gulf Coast states, the Carolinas and Virginia in the last few days were rated EF2 or stronger. This includes two tornadoes, one in Convent, Louisiana and one in County, Mississippi, which proved deadly. The area has been ravaged by severe weather this past week, the Weather Channel reports, with over 300 reports of wind damage and strong wind gusts reported to the Storm Prediction Center as of Thursday morning. This is the most reports to have been submitted in a 24-hour period since July 2015. According to Weather Underground meteorologist Bob Henson, the past two days have been the deadliest (with four people reported dead by the Associated Press) from tornadoes in Virginia since 2011's Superoutbreak.
Additional tornadoes are expected later Thursday. Emergencies have been declared in several Southern states including, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida.
Although Austin is currently expecting cooler, more winter-like temperatures, we can expect to be back in the 70s come this weekend. Check out today's Austin weather forecast here.

*Black Rebel Motorcycle Club * explain in the press release that their forthcoming album Howl, from which this single is taken, represents a bit of a departure for the band. The explanation is that, having thrown everything they possibly could into their last record, they couldn't think of a way to take rock'n'roll forward. So their next album will mainly be featuring country, blues, folk, soul, r'n'b and pop.
Hmmm. Well, I suppose there're only so many ways to rip off The Jesus and Mary Chain. But when looking for another legacy to plunder they could always have chosen that of another rock'n'roll band, rather than the ill-favoured Bob Dylan/Bon Jovi hybrid for which they seem to have gone. BRMC have always been something of a dumb band, but at least they used to be big and dumb. Now they're merely dumb, and listening to this record in all its ill-conceived New Direction antiglory is just really, really embarrassing.

One of the favorite games of SEO's is to figure out what Google is thinking based on the data available. We create tests, analyze patterns, and even carefully review Matt Cutts' videos backwards, seeking hidden messages. In that tradition, DragonSearch has embarked on a study of the colors in the Google logo to determine what color would come next if there was another letter in the Google name.
As we are moving into the world of plus one with everything, and in the spirit of helping the graphic designers at Google, we think this question should be answered.
The Google logo colors are all primary and secondary colors: Blue, Red, Yellow, and Green. Green is the only instance of a secondary color.
The first sequence of three and the second sequence of three follow the same pattern: (1st color, 2nd color, Complement of combination of 1st color and 2nd color).
The third sequence does not follow that pattern, but is: (1st color, 2nd color, combination of 1st color and 2nd color).
What can be inferred from the fourth sequence: (Blue, Green, Red)?
Green is a secondary color made up of Blue and Yellow. Since Blue already exists in the sequence – and in no previous sequence does any color go twice, we can remove Blue from the Green, resulting in Yellow. That would leave a sequence of (Blue, Yellow, Complement of combination of 1st color and 2nd color).
The apparent rule being that the 3rd color in any sequence is always the result of mixing the first two colors, or the complement of the first two colors.
For the fourth sequence: Assuming we have removed the Blue from the Green leaving yellow, we have either (Yellow, Red, and the combination of 1st color and 2nd color, which is Orange) or (Yellow, Red, and the complement of the combination of 1st color and 2nd color, which is Blue).
Thus, the next color, if Google had another color in its logo, would be Blue or Orange.
Interestingly, in the one instance where Google put a letter before "Google," in iGoogle, they used Green. Orange or Purple is never used, thus there is a greater likelihood that the next Google logo color would be Blue.
The iGoogle logo shows a pattern that would suggest that Blue would NOT be the next color. It is well known that colors are considered to be warm or cold. Blue and Green are considered cold, while Red and Yellow are considered warm. In iGoogle, the pattern would be:
(Cold, Cold)(Warm, Warm)(Cold, Cold), (Warm…)
This would suggest that the next color should be Yellow. Orange is not used in the Google palette, you would remove the Red from the Orange (since Red was already in the sequence), resulting in Yellow. Blue, however, would support the (Blue, Color, Color) pattern that also exists.
Google loves to embed math jokes into their brands. The latest is Google Plus. Every time someone clicks a "Plus 1" they are adding one to a very large number. After all, "Google" was a bastardization of "googol," which is the large number comprised of a one followed by 100 zeros. Of course, that's not exactly close to infinity , although it was often used by Edward Kasner (the mathematician whose nephew coined the word "googol") to contrast an unimaginably large number with the whole idea of infinity.
If you add one (plus 1!) to infinity, you have what's called a hyperreal number. It's possible that Larry and Sergey had buyer's remorse about having chosen "Google" as their name – perhaps they woke up one day and felt that its finiteness was just too constricting. So they added one.

Stuff I Think is Cool There's a lot of stuff I think is cool. I love to read and watch movies and laserdiscs. My favorite book and movie genres are Horror, Science Fiction, Mystery, and Action/Adventure. I also enjoy Japanimation and Cartoons.
I'm an avid Magic player. It's probably my favorite game right now. If you don't play, beware! Once you start, you get hooked! It's probably worse than a nicotine or heroin addiction! I'm also learning how to play other card games, like Mythos, the new game based on Lovecraft's mythology, and the X-Files card game.
As for online games, the best and funnest I've found is Riddler. It's free, fun, and you can win some really great prizes. I've won a book, two CDs, a mousepad, a hat, and a Tshirt so far! There's also some really big stuff like laptop computers and cars. Check it out!!
Check out Chimera's page, which has lots of links to high IQ societies, IQ tests, puzzles, etc. There's something there for almost anyone!
My favorite music is Heavy Metal, although I will listen to just about anything except Country and Rap. Yuk! I do occasional record reviews for an Alternative Rock SIG I belong to, which lets me try out a lot of interesting new music.

I recently heard about a Wedding someone attended, and about an hour before the Wedding, the Photographer had not showed up, The ones getting married called him, "Where are you...? "
He replied, "You asked me for a quote for and a photography package, I emailed you the information, and you never got back to me. I didn't know I was photographing your Wedding!" On such an important day, their memories are now in the hands of guests who used their Ipads, and phones to take photos. Not good.
This is not just happening with Photography. Florists are being called 1 week before the Wedding, " When are my Flowers going to be delivered..?" Florist replies, "You're not on my list of August Brides, who are you?" Same story, The Bride emailed for a quote and thought that a reply meant she had booked a Florist. When hiring a professional for your Wedding, make sure you have signed a contract, AND PAID A DEPOSIT.
Flowers take time to prepare, there is no Easy button, every piece is designed especially for your Wedding.

I love grass but I'm also allergic to it so as far as being able to roll around in it and sit in it, that, I can't do. But I love that it's there for the kids to have fun and run around (and hunt for eggs).
Cute pictures.

These are medium sized pyramid boxes I made to hold money cards for Christmas.
I made the boxes with Graphic 45 paper's 'Twelve Days of Christmas' .
The Poinsettias are made from 'Music Notes' paper by Recollections.
I used Tattered Poinsettia die by Tim Holtz and finished off the centers with tiny beads.

…or rather in the paddles!
From at Jacob Klinger at Penn Live today:
James Conner has started a comeback against Ben Roethlisberger.
Playing ping-pong with the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback at their agent's headquarters in Irvine, California last month, Roethlisberger won their first match.
But the Pitt running back who is at the Combine this week after beating Hodgkins Lymphoma and rushing for 1,092 yards and 16 touchdowns last season snagged the following game, he said.
Only for Roethlisberger to have to leave with the scored tied, 1-1.
"He had to run," Conner said. "His family, they had some food waiting, so Game 3 is on the way."
Conner and Roethlisberger have shared a practice facility, the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex on Pittsburgh's South Side, since 2013. And as the Pitt running back prepares for the NFL Draft, Roethlisberger has given Conner little pieces of advice, in addition to ping-pong games.
"Just be yourself, have fun with it, enjoy the process," Roethlisberger told Conner, Conner said. "He knows I overcame a lot, too. So yeah, me and Ben, cool."
But there will be a rubber match, Conner said.

Verbal Profusion May Lead To Order Confusion
(I work at a small casual dining restaurant. On this particular occasion, I am working on the drive-thru.)
Me: "Hi! May I help you?"
Customer: "Yes, I want three tenderloins."
Me: "Alright, and is ketchup, mustard, pickle, and onion okay on those?"
Customer: "No. On one, I want nothing."
Me: "Okay, so plain?"
Customer: "Nothing but pickle."
Me: "Okay, and on the other two?"
Customer: "On one, I want mayo and ketchup. But I want mayo on the top and ketchup on the bottom."
Me: "No problem, sir."
Customer: "No! I want mayo on both sides and ketchup on the bottom and whatever else in the middle."
Me: "Sir, we don't put anything in the middle of the tenderloin. So, do you just want ketchup and mayo?"
Customer: "No, I mean I want mustard and mayo. Mustard on the top and mayo on the bottom. Um, I mean mayo on the top and mustard on the bottom. Ketchup."
Me: *confused* "Okay, sir."
Customer: "On the other one, I want mayo on both sides then everything on the bottom."
Me: "Okay, just to make sure I have your order right: you want one tenderloin with pickle only. You want another tenderloin with mayo on the top of the tenderloin and mustard on the bottom, then you would like a third tenderloin with ketchup, mustard, pickle, onion, and mayo on the bottom and then mayo on the top. Am I correct?"
Customer: "Yeah, the one with just mayo and mustard I want mayo on the top and ketchup on the bottom. I mean, I want mustard on the bottom. Do you have it?"
Me: "I believe I do, sir. Please pull forward."
(Note: I've had another customer waiting at the window to pay as I took the confusing customer's order, and she has heard everything. I take her money and apologize for the delay.)
Me: "I'm sorry that took so long. I'm still not sure if I know what he wants."
Other Customer: "I don't think HE knows what he wants!"

Join Paul F. Aubin for an in-depth discussion in this video Designing the assets, part of Revit Architecture: Advanced Modeling.
I would like to take a few minutes to give you a tour of the project that we'll be building in this course. The conceptual modeling environment was conceived as an environment where you could explore design ideas in a fluid and unencumbered way. It is intended primarily as a conceptual design platform. As such, we thought it would be appropriate and exciting to create a new building design from scratch and watch it evolve in the conceptual massing environment as we proceed through the course. With this in mind, allow me to introduce you to the San Angelico Museum of Contemporary Art. When preparing this course I found myself wearing two hats, my architectural hat and my educator's hat.
Architecturally, we wanted to make an interesting facility that reflects the many challenges that you typically face in architectural projects. Educationally, we wanted a project that would allow us a fun and interesting way to explore the many features that the Revit Massing Environment has to offer. The most interesting part of the story is how we get started. Early in the process we discussed how it would be nice to follow a project-based approach and there was a photograph. My producer shared with me this image of the SAMOCA Museum. Intrigued, I set off to create the Revit model and see if I could match it, maybe not the way that most projects begin, but certainly it was fun and interesting.
The initial photograph we worked from had a very contemporary feel. I knew it would be a nice fit for Revit's conceptual tools, but even though the tools are often showcased in creating such contemporary forms, I also wanted to show how they can use successfully to create traditional forms as well. This lead me to the idea of marrying the two styles together in the same building. The site I chose for the building has low-density residential on one side and medium density on the other. This made it easy to imagine that our local residents would be concerned with the scale of the proposed facility and it's being overpowering to the feel and fabric of their neighborhood.
So our design combines a striking contemporary main building to the south with the north wing that takes on the vernacular of the neighborhood by incorporating a series of townhouse facades. With the overall form addressing both our architectural and educational goals, we involved the designer who helped us develop the interior program and layout of the facility. The result was a main building that contains a grand stair that takes on a sculptural feel and connects all of the gallery spaces in a hub around the center. A striking light wall cuts through the center of the facility mirroring the angle of the townhouse wing.
The main floor contains gallery spaces, an outdoor sculpture garden and a three-story Graffiti Gallery. The Graffiti Gallery is one of my favorite parts of the design. It features a massive two-story rendered block wall that soars above the space and is bathed in natural light. The wall's mass protects the interior galleries from that same light. To complete the effect, we even commissioned a custom-designed graffiti mural to adorn the wall. We've gone to great lengths to show a diversity of techniques here using the SAMOCA Museum Project. We'll look at many tools and techniques throughout the course with SAMOCA providing an architecturally interesting backdrop.
I hope you've enjoyed this quick tour of SAMOCA, now please join me as we rollup our sleeves and begin building.

Chapman University Improves Student Access to Apps and Data, Expects to Cut Storage Management Burden by 95 Percent with New Data Platform from Pure Storage
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Jan. 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Chapman University, a private, not-for-profit university located in the heart of Orange County, Calif., is transforming its distinctive academic and student experience with Pure Storage.
Since installing all-flash arrays from Pure Storage, students, faculty and staff have faster access to the data and applications they use regularly, software development teams complete their work more quickly, and database administrators spend far less time on storage management.
Chapman requires next-generation storage to optimize performance and value. The university decided to upgrade its Tier-1 storage, which supports Oracle's PeopleSoft enterprise resource planning (ERP) applications and a BlackBoard Analytics data-warehouse, as well as Microsoft and Oracle databases. The legacy environment presented several challenges – primarily labor-intensive management and a cumbersome process for the creation of cloned databases and delivery to development teams.
Chapman University's IT team installed and set up the Pure Storage arrays in an hour, a sharp contrast to the days or sometimes even weeks required for legacy systems. In addition, Pure's Evergreen™ storage model ensures continued value and convenience with automatic, non-disruptive upgrades. "The promise of the Evergreen program is that there is no disruption and zero dollars wasted on every-three-year 'forklift' upgrades. The fact that seamless upgrades are built in as part of Evergreen is a big benefit," said James Kelly, Storage Area Network (SAN) Administrator and Oracle Database Administrator (DBA), Chapman University.
With Pure Storage, Chapman University expects to cut the time needed for routine storage functions by up to 95 percent, and in the early stages, has seen significant maintenance time reduction in existing database and storage operations. The solution's high data reduction rates allow automated and unlimited cloning of databases with virtually no impact on storage capacity. Chapman can now clone a database in just a few hours rather than a full business day or more, and expects to reduce host cloning time to 30 minutes or less once it completes its automation project.
"FlashArray delivers several important benefits to our University. FlashArray is a powerful and resilient solution that has accelerated our ability to deliver new and better services to our constantly-changing campus community. The solution holds out the promise of scale, as needed, without disruption, and lets us count on the speed and reliability of flash for our diverse, critical workloads. And, the purchase and implementation processes were transparent and seamless," said Kelly.
Automation Fast Forward
Chapman has accelerated virtualization of its production database servers thanks to the superior performance of Pure Storage. Virtualization, in turn, is moving Chapman toward another important goal – automation that reduces software development time and improves team productivity. As important, the APIs between Pure and other environments – such as VMware and Cisco UCS servers – simplify system management and further advance the automation process.
Chapman is also benefitting from the Pure arrays de-duplication and compression features. "At the beginning, we weren't certain we could put all of our production databases on the Pure arrays," Kelly said. "But we just kept adding more and more data until we reached the point that everything we had was on Pure – and it was still only at one-third of capacity. We have an overall data-reduction ratio of 5.2:1, even better than promised. Pure's deduplication functions are ideal for our database environment."
About Pure Storage
Pure Storage (NYSE:PSTG) helps customers build a better world with data. The Pure Storage Data Platform, powered by all-flash storage, offers a simpler, more effective, and more flexible solution for cloud infrastructure and data-rich applications like artificial intelligence, machine learning and big data analytics. With Satmetrix-certified NPS performance in the top 1% of B2B companies, Pure has an ever-expanding range of customers who are some of the happiest in the world.

The white spots patients can see in the mirror on their tonsils must be examined by an otolaryngologist. Actually, the terms "white coating", "white bumps", "white spots", etc. often don't mean the same for doctors and their patients. A medical professional observes the symptoms with a professional eye: white color of coating may range from gray to yellowish and be concentrated at different locations, like a curd-like coating (spots) all over the tonsils, spreading to larynx, etc. Patients often worry too much about unusual white spots, first discovered on their own tonsils or in their children. If you have encountered this problem, the article is for you. We will discuss many interesting aspects, concerning the topic: causes of white spots on tonsils, how to remove them and what actually stands behind frequent problems with tonsils.
White Lumps At the Back Of Throat: Where They Originate From
#1 Tonsiliths (Tonsil stones)
A problem of white clogs on tonsils bothers many people. In medicine they are called tonsiliths. The size of tonsil stones may vary from 1 mm to a few centimeters. The color ranges from white through yellow to gray, brown or even red. They can be soft or quite solid which is explained by presence of calcium salts in them. Tonsiliths consist of cells, shed from the tonsil surface and mouth cavity, remains of food and bacteria, decomposing these organic remains. Causes of their formation are unknown same like the reason why some people have them and some don't. Men develop tonsiliths twice oftener than women, besides they often occur in people who frequently have a sore throat or chronic tonsilitis.
Can White Spot On Tonsil Be Dangerous?
If it's a tonsilith, it doesn't present any danger for your health. However, due to well-understood reasons, formation of tonsil stones is an extremely unpleasant phenomenon. That's why many people are interested whether they can be removed without a surgery and how to get rid of them. Below we are listing quite useful recommendations on tonsiliths removal.
#2 Tonsilitis
Usually this condition is not dangerous if it doesn't trigger peritonsillar abscess. Most often tonsilitis affects children aged 3-7 y.o. – the period when tonsils play an active role in fighting the infection. Most tonsil infections are caused by streptococci. Tonsillitis symptoms include:
- painful throat, red swollen tonsils with white spots
- swollen sensitive lymph nodes on neck and under jaw
- low body temperature, fever and headache
An ulcer on tonsil may look alarmingly if you see it for the first time. In reality patients often refer to tonsils' lacunas (twisted tunnels in tonsils structure) as "ulcers". Chronic tonsilitis often develops after infectious mononucleosis.
#3 Angina Throat
In most cases the white on tonsils is nothing than numerous sacs with pus liquid – symptoms of angina. There are 2 angina types: follicular and lacunar angina. One visual examination will be enough for a doctor to determine the origin of your spots on tonsils. If it's follicular angina, small follicles or blisters on tonsils are formed. Lacunar angina produces white dots on tonsils.
So, the main difference between these 2 types of angina is the amount of pus, contained in the sacs. If the disease is neglected, a patient can easily develop its chronic form or provide a sufficient ground for occurrence of another medical condition. A frequent example of such omission, for instance, is formation of bumps, filled with pus which can be removed only surgically.
Major causes of angina with white patches on tonsils include:
- consumption of cold drinks and cold milk products
- droughts, provoking development of tonsilitis, transforming into angina
- long-term swimming in cool water
- weak immune system
#4 Oral Thrush
Curd-like coating anywhere in the mouth, including tonsils, is a typical symptom of oral candidiasis or thrush, often diagnosed in little children and adults with weak immune system. If it's oral thrush, white spots on tonsils are formed by a fungal infection.
White Bumps On Tonsils: Contemporary Medical Point Of View
There has always been too much debate on whether to remove tonsils or not. Tonsils are considered to be the first line of immunity protection. Contemporary medicine views tonsil inflammation (tonsilitis, angina) as organism's attempt to protect the lungs from sinus infections. Therefore, successful treatment of chronic tonsilitis suggests treatment of the ailments, affecting sinuses. The nasal cavity may conceal numerous problems from disorders of nasal aerodynamics to chronic sinus infections. Every condition needs treatments with individual selection of anti-inflammatory nasal drops.
"Wars with tonsils" today are more appealing to those, who don't know how to treat sinuses, because this is much more complicated than tonsils removal. Alternatively tonsils are treated by numerous methods which today also acquire a commercial interest, expressed in versatile thematic commercials and advertisements.
How To Remove White Pus Bumps From Tonsils?
- Having noticed a white spot on tonsil, many people try to remove it, using fingers, a tooth brush, spoon, cotton swabs or similar "tools". Small bumps, located on the tonsil surface, can really be removed, however, often such methods traumatize tonsils, provoking pains in throat and even bleeding. That's why it's better to try more sparing solutions, listed below or entrust this complicated work to medical professionals.
- Formation of white pus bumps on tonsils is associated with frequent colds, episodes of rhinitis, chronic and acute tonsillitis and even cavities. So, start from the treatment of the underlying cause and use additional procedures to accelerate your recovery process.
- Usually bad breath, a foul odor, indicates the presence of pus bumps on the throat. Yet, sometimes they can't be easily observed. In this case wrap your finger in a few layers of medical gauze and rub every tonsil, slightly pressing on it. That will help to release pus from bumps.
- Rinse the crevices with some antibacterial remedy, for example, furacin solution. Dissolve its powder in 0,5 l of previously boiled water to get light yellow solution and gargle your throat a few times thoroughly. Repeat the procedure up to 5 times a day.
- 10-20 minutes after rinsing your tonsils, irrigate them or gargle with streptocide soluble solution. This remedy has shown great results in treatment of pus angina and chronic tonsilitis. Crush 1 tablet of streptocide and dissolve the powder in a glass of warm water. Gargle your throat a few times. It's going to give you a bitter taste in the throat, but don't eat or drink anything at once because the medicine needs time to produce its curable effect.
- Normally furacin and streptocide gargles/irrigation eliminate pus bumps on tonsils on the 2nd – 3rd day, however, you should continue the procedures at least 5-7 days in a row. Additionally you may use infusions of chamomile and pine needles, possessing excellent anti-inflammatory properties, for gargles and inhalations.
- Remember that microbes don't like fruits with high vitamin C content. When you feel like you are getting sick, try to eat more fresh fruit, gargle your throat with herbal infusions, use mint, calendula, hawthorn tinctures and infusions. Gargles with soda and salt also give great results, relieving throat from pus formations.
Summing up, it should be mentioned that if a problem of spots on tonsils bothers you too much, the only solution to fix it once and for all is surgical removal of tonsils. After the tonsils are removed, the bumps will not form anymore. This decision though should be thoughtfully considered, weighing all pros and cons and keeping in mind the contemporary medical point of view at the role that tonsils play for your organism and their relation to sinus infections. Having removed your tonsils, you will lose one natural barrier, protecting your lungs.

Two posts in two days! It could be a record for me. But, these cookies came out so good I need to get my recipe down before I forget.
Wanted to try something different and I had a bag of Heath Toffee Bits in the pantry. No single recipe grabbed me so I opted to experiment a bit. The end result is pretty darn good, thank goodness.
So, here goes:
2 1/4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup vegetable shortening (1 Crisco Baking Stick, had these in the pantry also)
1 1/4 cups packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups Heath Toffee Bits
1 1/2 cups Nestle SemiSweet Chocolate Chips
1/4 cup granulated light brown sugar for rolling
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, cornstarch, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.
Using an electric stand mixer bowl, beat butter and brown sugar at medium speed for 2-3 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and beat on medium until well blended, scraping down sides of bowl with a spatula periodically.
Turn mixer to low and slowly add the dry ingredients. Stir in chocolate chips and toffee bits by hand until well blended. Should look something like this:
Using a small cookie scoop, form balls of dough. Roll balls in granulated sugar and place on lined baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Press down with heel of hand lightly to flatten. Bake cookies for about 12 minutes or until very lightly browned on edges. Let cool for 2-5 minutes before removing from parchment. Transfer cookies to a cooling rack and cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
Makes about 5 dozen cookies.
