Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is something remarkable from a developer known for taking risks. Ninja Theory has not always chosen the easy route with its projects, as seen with imaginative cult classic Enslaved: Odyssey to the West and the divisive character choices in its 2013 Devil May Cry entry. However, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is the boldest release of the lot, launching independently of an external publisher and delving deep into themes rarely discussed in video games.
Although God of War has been picking up the Norse myth kudos with its 2018 Game of the Year win, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice does a tremendous job of portraying a similar mythology in a very different way. Indeed, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice covered this subject matter earlier, as it first released in 2017. However, the game proved so successful that it was able to move away from digital-only availability, with the title launching in a physical format for both PS4 and Xbox One.

Where Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice differs from its big-budget peer is how it portrays the Norse mythology itself, coming at the culture through a different gaze altogether. Senua is a Pict, having witnessed the Viking gods through the violence of raiding parties that have destroyed her home and those dear to her. The Vikings are therefore a terrifying, dangerous other, and so the legends that have been told through whispers by the scholar Druth take on a dark, horrific turn; the gods are abominations that live just out of view.
Senua is left with nothing, but attempts to bring something back from the ashes. This is no story of heroes and gallant quests, however, and it lives up to the sacrifice of its name. Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is a tense and at times claustrophobic game, suffocating the player in dread as they move through its ruined world.
The core gameplay of Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice comes in two major forms. Senua will have to fight waves of Northmen in combat sections, with a neat and simplistic control scheme, and also spend time solving puzzles of various kinds, from line of sight match-ups to more complex, large-scale set pieces. The game also includes several boss fights, which thankfully all offer up something new and test the player's understanding of the combat mechanics.
However, breaking down Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice into such basic elements does a disservice to what it attempts to convey. The title drifts constantly, forging ingenious methods of storytelling and taking players through waves of differing emotions. At points, players will feel powerful, at others weak and isolated, and - perhaps more than anything else - afraid.
Although action takes a front seat during major parts of Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, there is an overwhelming focus on horror. A lot of this comes from the portrayal of the Northmen apparitions and their gods, taking on a folk horror vibe through their not-quite-human design, and also through some genuine gut-clenching moments of survival horror. The biggest of these moments comes late in the game, as Senua tries to make her way through the dark lair of Garm, but the general ambiance of fear is nearly perpetual.
The most engaging form that this horror takes is psychological. Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is as much about mental illness as it is about its surface level plot, with Senua's psychosis not just a tacked on choice, but instead woven into the very fabric of the game's design. The player will see and hear hallucinations, including the projection of characters from Senua's past, and there is a constant question as to how much of Senua's journey is real, outside of her own mind.
Video games aren't always known for their tact with the handling of heavy subject matter, but a great amount of care was taken by Ninja Theory to discuss these themes, and it shows. There are the obvious elements of psychosis, such as the auditory hallucinations, but although these are expertly handled the most impressive elements of Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice are those more nuanced elements. The game asks questions about delusion, and about the treatment of mental illness in times before it was truly understood.
This leads to Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice doing something special. It's one of those rare games that makes use of the medium of video games to convey something that other media are not able to do. It treats mental illness as more than a gimmick, succeeding at incorporating a sensitive subject into its gameplay where so many other games have failed.
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice isn't perfect, though. Although the combat flows extremely well, with players gaining an almost tactile intuition for blocks and dodges, it's still quite basic and some may feel the longer fights become a bit of a chore. This is a minor complaint, though, with most of the bursts of combat being well-paced, as is the game itself; Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice doesn't outstay its welcome.
All in all, then, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is both proof that small development teams can make great games, and that video games can handle heavy themes in their own way. Visually impressive and with a genuinely unique voice, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is captivating from the get go. Those who missed out on it last year should definitely give it a shot, particularly given its relatively low price.

Each chapter begins with a series of questions designed to elicit from the student that which he already knows about the information about to be presented. Then, the chapter videos are watched. Finally, the chapter review offers a series of activities including group activities, a post-test, and critical thinking exercises. Overall, the chapters are very thoroughly done! (N.B., because I know it will be of concern to some readers, Standard Deviants presents a secular worldview that assumes an old Earth, which is definitely relevant in this course. This was one of its biggest benefits to my family, but could be a stumbling block to others considering this course. Worldview was not an issue in, for example, the Chemistry course I discuss next.).
The material in Earth Science was not especially challenging, but the same could not be said for the Chemistry course that all the kids watched, but that I chose especially for Nicholas (11). Nicky has had a fascination with Chemistry for a few months now, and I was trying to cobble together resources for him on my own. When I saw this course, and the sample used the vulgar word for passing gas that I don't allow in our house but that little boys find hilarious, I knew that the course and Nicky were a match made in Heaven. I was right. What I didn't know was how very much solid (and *hard*) chemistry Standard Deviants (I.Love.That.Name.) could pack into its course. Some of it is definitely going over Nicky's head. Some of it is threatening to go over my head. These people have found a way to present very tricky material in a way that is so easy to understand and remember, though!
For a start, the idea of visualizing electron shells as an apartment complex is one that helps me in a way that high school chemistry never could. In fact, I told Henry (the husband) that I never learned about s, p, and d orbitals in chemistry, but I now realize that I did - I had just forgotten. I don't think I'll forget now after (re)learning with Standard Deviants. Please understand, I
hate intensely dislike science. However, I love Standard Deviants Chemistry. That's the opinion of a non-science person. I asked Henry (who works in the chemical industry) for his opinion, and he commented on the program's ability to take complex subject matter and render it comprehensible and memorable via the use of graphics and concepts that act almost as mnemonic devices (along with actual mnemonic devices). He is really impressed with this program.
One caveat: both science programs make use of a sock monkey who is torn in half and lying in the road. He is made to look like he is bleeding and when he speaks he gasps for air. It is, for lack of a better word, twisted. It bothers us not at all, however, it might really bother some families. Just something to watch for/consider. For me, when the company is named Standard Deviants, I rather expect little goodies like that...
A brief word about English Composition. At first, I got resistance from Therese (13) about taking the course. She saw the sample of Chemistry in which the vulgar word was used and turned her nose up at the company. She was drawn in, though, by Earth Science. She would walk through the room when I had it on the TV and would stop to watch (it's that good!). I showed her the first English Comp lesson in which a ton of information is thrown at you (all about literary genres). She was hooked. She is now well on her way with the course. She has also been informed that she will be doing the Chemistry course toward high school credit (yes, I know it's not enough in itself...I have it covered.). It just explains things too well for her not to take it.
I guess it's obvious that we love Standard Deviants Accelerate. Because of the company's generosity, I have access to every course (*blessed*), and I plan to put the kids through as many of them as I possibly can. Do I think a course is worth the $99 price tag? Absolutely. If you're curious to see what other Crew members thought (especially if you're not quite as, um, offbeat as I am), definitely click the banner below to read all the reviews!

Introducing Pet Shop Primas, our new fashionable friends: Katerina, the sleek feline, pretty pooch Paulina, and their sweet sidekick Hannah, the hamster. We wanted to create paper dolls in honor of New York's Fashion Week and were inspired by the best-dressed bunny, Fifi Lapin, author of the book/blog What Shall I Wear Today?
When I was little, I often made my own paper dolls. I'd start by drawing my favorite model from teen magazines, and then create their clothes by tracing the figure while holding the papers up to a window. You can do this too—we've started the process for you. Just download one or all of the dolls below, print, color and cut them out to play with. To make additional clothes, you can use my cheap technique of taking another sheet of paper and place on top of one of the dolls, holding them both up to a well-lit window. Design a dress by carefully tracing the outline of the doll as you draw the garment. If you're lucky enough to have a light-box, you can use that for better results. Take a look at the fantastic Fashion123 Student Show for more inspiration.

Returning Series & History 100 Sizzles
The Ask
For the last few years, History Channel has reached out to us to create videos designed to alert and excite advertisers about upcoming programming. In 2017, the spot light was on their returning hit series (there are a lot!). And in 2018, they wanted to call attention to 100 hours of premium documentaries hitting the air. We were thrilled to help them get the word out.

The iconic red line is central to History's visual brand identity and that's where we focused our thinking. We took that line -- and viewers -- on a journey, exploring a new universe of visual possibilities. We gave the line depth and dimension, developed fresh ways for it to incorporate still imagery, and showed how the line, typography and great editorial can engage audiences while continually showcasing the programming in unexpected ways.

This topic came to our attention thanks to a discussion on the Arthritis Forum of our sister site, Spine-health.com.
Someone described how a finger "got stuck" in a bent position and was looking for possible causes. It wasn't long before another user suggested the likely cause: trigger finger.
Trigger finger is caused when the sheath that encases the tendon in a finger or thumb becomes inflamed. This causes the tendon to catch on the sheath, locking the finger in place. Once the finger is manually straightened, it may snap straight out as the tendon moves again suddenly.
See How Arthritis Causes Joint Pain
Despite its name, trigger finger most often affects the ring finger or thumb—and can also affect multiple fingers at once.
Other symptoms of trigger finger include:
- Painful snapping sensation when bending or straightening your finger
- A tender bump where the base of your finger meets the palm
- Swelling
- Symptoms that are worse in the morning
Trigger finger can occur in both children and adults, but some factors raise your risk:
- Being female
- Being older than 45
- Having rheumatoid arthritis, gout, or diabetes
- Doing work or activities that involve repeated gripping movement
To treat trigger finger, the goal is to bring down the inflammation causing the tendon to catch. This can be done by immobilizing the finger using a splint or tape and/or by icing the finger.
See Nonsurgical Treatment for Trigger Finger
If symptoms persist, your doctor may suggest a cortisone injection to relieve inflammation or possibly even surgery.
See Trigger Finger Release: Percutaneous and Open Surgery

text: When we were in Melbourne last year we had to try the food at MoVida, having heard so many good things about it. And we weren't disappointed. Husband and I both love our seafood, so it wasn't surprising that we had the sardines and octopus. And we also couldn't resist the sound of the bomba: a Catalan recipe of crispy deep fried balls of mashed potato with a chorizo filling. I was super excited when I found the recipe online, with a video demonstration by chef Frank Camorra. I will just note that I needed a bit more olive oil to get the mashed potato to hold together, and rather than shaping the potato balls into a disc I found it easier to make balls, and then gently poke my finger into the middle to make a hollow for the filling. I also didn't get the forty balls that the recipe states, so maybe mine were a wee bit big. This isn't a difficult recipe, but it does take a little time and patience. If the above picture tempts you at all, you can find the recipe and video here.

When I saw the advertisements role out for CBS's SEAL Team a few months ago, I could almost hear the collective muttering of expletives under the breath of the entire veteran community. In recent years, much to the chagrin of the military community, both Hollywood and the publishing industry have embraced the stories of the elite sailors who served in the Navy's SEAL teams, and inundated the public with tales of their exploits. Since 9/11, there have been at least 12 major motion pictures that featured Navy SEALs, not including History Channel's latest episodic SEAL Team Six drama, Six. It has left many of the nation's veterans wondering if Hollywood, or the nation for that matter, cares about any military history other than that of the SEALs.
Somewhere in Liberia, a notorious Islamic State commander has been spotted meeting with jihadist groups active in the area. Members of SEAL Team 6 — the Navy's elite Tier One operators — led by Jason Hayes, (David Boreanaz of Bones' fame), fast rope into the village where the target is holed up. The team mows down the bad guys, clearing rooms and pieing corners with precision, before making their way into a labyrinthine tunnel system under the building to apprehend their quarry. Then everything goes sideways.
There's a new televised military drama coming out this fall, and surprise, surprise, it centers around a bunch of Navy SEALs.
The History Channel's new eight-episode Navy SEAL Drama, "SIX" focuses on the legendary unit SEAL Team Six, and will be filmed in Wilmington, North Carolina, a studio spokesman announced on Jan. 6, reports Star News online.

Day Visits
October 15th, 2015
Any gardener will tell you that his art is a grand teacher of patience. One has no choice but to wait for plants to mature and bear fruit when they're ready. Especially nut trees, they're not to be hurried. We have several of these in the garden: macadamia, almond, hazel, walnut and pistachio. And finally, after 5 years, one of our female pistachio trees produced a tiny cluster of seeds last November.
Even though we're not yet harvesting nuts from our trees yet, they bring us joy in other ways. Every spring macadamia trees spoil us with a sublime, sweet fragrance … a lingering scent to remember. Long pink racemes appear in late September, creating a scene reminiscent of the dusty pink tutus in a Degas painting.
If you want to create a picturesque shady spot in your garden, a macadamia tree might be a fine choice. They are quite undemanding, evergreen and sport dense, dark green foliage. Even though they come from Australia, and are named for a politician (John Macadam), in the spirit of the Rugby World Cup we'll forgive them all that.
Good day, I would like to know from which company you bought your nut trees as I am trying to buy some for myself and can only find almond and pecan nut trees. Thanks
Hi Nicola,
Unfortunately my garden is so small so I cannot plant all I would love to. Also we have squirrels around so not sure I would get any! I have however planted two almonds on my pavement the the squirrels and perhaps a few for me. My question to you is – do you have any idea where I could get a Carob tree? Also where I could get a Kiwi Fruit plant. I have one I have had for several years but need another for cross pollination ( male/female).
Appreciate your help if you perhaps know. I have tried to no avail.
Nurseries these days are just retail outlets and really can't be bothered to try and find trees for a person – so have given up on them.
Kind regards, Cecelle
Hi Nicola,
I have been searching for pistachio trees forever!
Any more progress on your trees? Would love to hear.
Did you get them from Tulbagh Forestry Nursery also?

A new Urban Institute study says that tight credit standards curbed mortgage lending activity from 2009 to 2013.
Based on the authors' estimates, if the cautious standards of 2001 had been in place rather than the more severe standards that were in place over these five years, lenders would have made more than 4 million additional loans.
"The number of potential loans that were not made-which we call 'missing loans'-grew from 0.50 million in 2009 to 1.25 million in 2013. African American and Hispanic families have been particularly affected by this tight credit environment," the authors say.

Wendy and Peter PanTickets More Info
'Second star to the right, and straight on till morning!'
MATINEE PERFORMANCE 3PM SATURDAY 14th DECEMBER IS NOW SOLD OUT
Winter, 1911. Snow is falling across London. Wendy Darling and her brothers sleep peacefully in their bedroom as their parents bicker downstairs. In a sudden flurry of snow their window blows open, and Peter Pan tumbles into their lives, followed by a fractious fairy called Tink. With the help of a little fairy dust, Wendy agrees to fly with Peter to Neverland, seeking an awfully big adventure and the key to her parents' forgotten happiness – the child they once lost. Once there, Wendy will give the Lost Boys a run for their money, defeat the diabolical pirate, James Hook, and ultimately learn what it really means to grow up.
J.M.Barrie's stage play, Peter Pan, delighted audiences when it premiered in 1904. His novel based on the play, Wendy and Peter, published in 1911, was a huge success.
Commissioned by the Royal Shakespeare Company, Ella Hickson's Wendy and Peter Pan premiered in December 2013.
It's a sparkling new adaptation that puts Wendy centre stage in a feisty take on Barrie's much-loved tale, but which never loses the charm of the original, nor any of its iconic set pieces.
It's bittersweet, funny in places, touching in others, and brimming with action and adventure – the classic English childhood myth of love, loss, redemption, and pirates. And Peter Pan, who never grows old. What's not to like?

Resources are the most important aspect of Backyard Monsters, essential in expansion, construction and protection of the player's yard. Most of these resources can be thrown by a Catapult when attacking another player's yard.
Overworld resources
In the game, there are five available resources:
Produced in Twig Snappers, Twigs are mainly used for constructing and upgrading buildings. Also used for Twig Missiles in the Catapult.
Produced in Pebble Shiners, Pebbles are mainly used for constructing and upgrading buildings. Also used for Pebble Bombs in the Catapult.
Produced in Putty Squishers, Putty is mainly used for unlocking, upgrading and researching monsters, but is also used for attacking and the construction and upgrading of certain defensive buildings. it is also used for Putty Rage in the Catapult. It is also used to transfer monsters to bunkers (The amount of putty needed to put a monster into a bunker is the amount of goo the monster costs divided by two).
Produced in Goo Factories, Goo is used for the production of new monsters. It is the only overworld (non-Inferno) resource which cannot be used in the Catapult.
A way of giving yourself a bonus percentage of your existing Goo (or Magma in the inferno) is when you are upgrading monsters in the Academy. Often, when a monster is upgraded, their Goo value increases. In this case, you can fill your Hatchery with the monster you are upgrading, then cancel them all (or send them to your level 3 Monster Juicer) when the research is complete.
For example, 100 level 1 DAVEs will cost 15 million Goo. After upgrading them to level 2, they will be worth 22.5 million, giving you a bonus 7.5 million if you recycle them all.
Bought with real money, Shiny allows you to speed things up, buy extra resources, and other nifty things. Posessing Shiny is not essential for playing. There are no essential buildings which can be bought only with Shiny. Gameplay is just as fun with little Shiny (or none at all) it just takes longer. The only other way you can obtain Shiny apart from buying it is by completing some rare quests, once in a Halloween event and finding it beneath mushrooms, which workers can pick in the yard. At the start of the game, you are given 1000 Shiny.
Inferno Resources
There are four resources encountered in Inferno:
Produced in Bone Crunchers, Bone is the counterpart of Twigs and is used for constructing and upgrading buildings.
Produced in Coal Extractors, Coal is the counterpart of Pebbles and is used in the construction and upgrading of buildings.
Produced in Sulfur Swirlers, Sulfur is the counterpart of Putty and is mainly used for unlocking and upgrading monsters, but is also used for the construction and upgrading of most defensive buildings (except blocks).
Produced in Magma Pumps, Magma the counterpart of Goo and is used for the production of new monsters.
Storing resources
Resources are initially stored inside the resource building in which they are produced, until they are 'banked' into the yard's storage. The amount of resources you can keep inside your Resource Harvesters or Storage Silos/Resource Pods is determined by the level of each of these individual buildings.
Protecting Resources
Protecting Resources is also very important because if your Resource Harvester get destroyed, you lose all the resources in that harvester. If it is less than half damaged, the Resource Harvester will still produce resources (but can't be banked unless you click "Bank all" on another Resource Harvester or it is fully repaired. Put Booby Traps/Heavy Traps around the area where you think monsters will go to get to it.
- In the early days of BYM, resources used to roll into the Town Hall when banked.

Eugene Scene
I'm only kind of torn on this. I really do agree that peeing and writing the n word on shop is threatening and totally inexcusable. But that doesn't mean that you can take away people's right to be in public spaces. If there are benches in front of the library, they're meant to be SAT ON. If there are tables in Kesey Square, they're meant for people to gather and enjoy the space.
What it comes down to is that the people with money and influence don't want to look at undesirables. The ability to banish people from downtown would really only apply to teens and homeless people. Can you imagine a downtown guard asking a group of greyheaded old ladies to move along from the benches in front of the library? Can you imagine a bunch of soccer moms with kids in tow being told they can't gather on the sidewalk while they give their toddlers organic Cherrios? It wouldn't happen.
Teens are threatening to respectable folk because those people know that they haven't given them the respect they deserve as human beings. They've been written off on account of their age, expected to make trouble, and what young person fighting for acknowledgment of their worth is going to want to smile and be sweet to people who make them feel like criminals?
My suggestion is not to be afraid. Carry your toddler into the library, right past the congregation of teens, and smile. Wish them a good afternoon. Compliment their mohawks. I don't care as long as you show respect. I feel that people on this side of success in their lives don't recognize their responsibility to be the bigger person, not in a "better than you" or "more right to be here" kind of way, but recognizing that some people have growing to do. Please realize that respect should be given unconditionally, no matter if the person is a shop owner, professor, homeless person, or teen.
Teens, prove them wrong. Prove your right to be in public spaces by resisting the urge to puff out your chest and claim your territory. That goes for everyone. Don't abuse your right to public spaces by claiming them as your own. Downtowns should be places for everyone who shows respect, and that involves sharing. You learned it in kindergarten. Can't we just share downtown?

Hey Hannah! Found your blog through livejournal. What to do about the "undesirables" downtown is a debate that it's been going on in Eugene ever since I was a youngster. And I think you really hit it right on the head - all people deserve respect and the right to be in a public space - and shopkeepers and everyone else deserves the right not be hassled for change or have property defaced.
What comes to my mind is why the teenagers are there... Back in my day (well, I'm only 25 but I still had a day that has long passed!), there was an all-ages pool hall, and Paradiso was open til the wee hours for all-ages open mike, coffee, chess, studying, etc. I think having more all-ages activities around would help a great deal. But even more so, in an ideal world, the teenagers would also be busy studying, playing sports, being in plays, spending time with their families, hiking up at the Butte, bike riding, doing poetry night, and all sorts of other things other than being bored downtown. Kids on the street often only have "street family" - and don't have a safe or supportive home to be at instead. This, I think, is the real problem.
I know of at least one organization (LEAD) that was developed for this specific purpose - to help street kids in Eugene find a place, find productive things to do, find support, friends, companionship, etc. I know they had to overcome a lot of discrimination and ageism when trying to get their space (last I heard they had a really teeny place near the DAC) and had to petition the city council and local businesses to do it. Business owners discouraged the organization, preferring instead of oust the teens through policing and creating criminals out of bored kids from bad homes.
My feelings about the homeless folks are about the same. One of the best models for dealing with this problem is the Union Station Program in Pasadena, CA. (I am a social worker and took a tour there just to learn about it - it's awesome!) The city itself is beautiful and clean, and like any city, also has its share of homeless individuals and families. A shelter/supportive living program created a "street team" and recruited the local police force, businesses, and workers at the shelter to combat the problem. When the police wander upon a homeless man sleeping in a park (not legal), they take down his name, any other info they can gather, and bring him to the shelter. There, he is seen by a case manager who asses his needs (does he need mental health care? Medical care?) and puts together a plan. If he is found again, the police/shelter already have a file on him and can better serve them knowing a little about them. This type of model works great, but requires that community members (police, businesses) overcome their own stereotypes and support people instead of criminalizing them. It also involves tax money, so...yeah.
It's really ironic to me that people never want to pay tax money for things like homeless shelters, but instead support criminalizing people on the street to make it a nicer place. Doing so just puts the cost right back on the taxpayers (policing and jail is a hell of a lot more expensive - let me tell you!) and feeds the cycle of poverty.

Hi there, came here through LJ. I agree with your post, and with "brave new sarah"'s suggestions on how to deal with it. Every time I see the police on the street hassling some homeless guy, it makes me angry, because I'm betting he didn't do anything to warrant it. Sure, property defacement is wrong, but you can't convict an entire subculture of one incident - find the person who did it and punish them if you can, but you can't punish everyone who might look like they did it. That seems like it should be obvious in a 'free society', but I guess not.
My only caveat to all of this... when I was a teenager back East, something similar to this crackdown was happening in my city, and the police were constantly harassing us for just hanging out in a public square somewhat near businesses. But the thing was, we were being very polite and off to the side not bothering anyone. Whereas there are days when I can barely shove through the crowd of loud, smoking, belligerent teens in front of the library. If they would just show some kind of courtesy to the other human beings trying to use the same space, I would be a lot more sympathetic to them.

I'm not opposed to security guards asking people to step away from the doors (didn't see them doing that to the peace protesters this weekend) or asking smokers to move to the smoking area, but the incidents that I saw were guards in police-like uniforms asking crusty teens to leave the benches they were sitting on.
- July 31, 2008 at 5:41 PM
I have seen police officers asking teens to leave the benches they were sitting on, but as someone who sits quietly in places without really being noticed by others, its usually for a reason and not just because they are teenagers. Usually, the teenagers have done something, like yelling at passersby using all sorts of obscenities and gestures that are unwarranted, that prompts the officers and shopkeepers to ask the teenagers to leave. I can't really imagine a soccer mom feeding her toddler yelling "F*** you" and giving someone the finger to random people walking by.
I do agree that something does need to be done about activities for teenagers to do later at night. Besides bowling and movies, there really is nothing.

I don't know why my own comment was deleted...anyways, I'd like to vouch for LEAD as a totally amazing program. I was a volunteer mentor this past year, and I learned more from the teens than they did from me, I bet. I even learned to juggle :) The teen center is great because it's a place that youth can come and just be, but the commitments can scare off some. Still, I think it's important to put out some expectations and show the teens that adults believe in their potential.

That is so awesome! If I ever make any millions in social work (haha), LEAD will be high on my list of charitable contributions. I'm glad to hear they're still up and running strong with awesome volunteers.
I agree with you about the commitment LEAD asks of its youth - I think it's part the youth commit to that really creates change in their lives, and this is what distinguishes LEAD from other organizations that just give handouts. Nothing against handouts, but handouts don't tend to drastically change people's lives. :)

They did it! Edwin and Annalie got married! The ceremony was simple and beautiful. They both looked great. As a groomsman, I had a perfect vantage point to see Annalie's face throughout the ceremony. She was positively beaming. I've never seen her so happy.
Plus, I really hit it off with the best man. He's from El Paso, but I'm going to get his info from Edwin so we can stay in touch.
I also saw two of the three knitters from Friday and they were both excited about the progress they've made. It was also really funny that they both recognize the true quality of the yarn I gave them – it's crap. (I believe I've mentioned it here before – it's the green acrylic from hell.) When Shannon's daughter asked her what she was knitting, she decided it was a dog blanket.
There were favors for the guests on the way out of Kripsy Kreme doughnuts. I asked Edwin's sister why on earth they chose doughnuts of all things, and she said that originally, the doughnuts were going to be accompanied by faux newspapers describing the wedding, but the papers didn't come through. Too bad, I thought that would have been a cute touch. The bride and groom left the reception in a Kripsy Kreme truck. I kid you not.
Happy honeymoon guys. May the best of the past be the worst of the future.
So that was the wedding.
Now I'm looking into a bug that Rowena reported in the comments of the last entry. (Oh, before I forget – check out the Aran that she made for her husband. It's beautiful.)
It sounds like the problem that she is describing is caused either by the stylesheets for my site or badly formed HTML. Or rather, it's the interaction of one of those two (or both of those) with the browser that she's using.
Okay, so what browser is she using? Looks like it's IE 6.0 on Windows XP. I'm in luck; I've got an XP box lying around here someplace. I just need to dig out a monitor from my storage room and fire it up.
The fact that she only has the problem periodically makes me wonder if it's caused by stuff I put in the posts themselves. I used to have a tag on this page that said "XHTML compliant", but I took it off because I realized that I frequently break the standards by including things like lists or special characters in my posts. Because of the templates I'm using (and the fact that I don't understand how to properly use
<div> and
<span> yet), when I use those types of structures I am using them in invalid positions within the HTML document.
Update: I got moderately obsessed with this today, and before I started lugging monitors around to do some testing with IE, I figured I'd just look at the code. I found some of the problems that I had in my markup and fixed them. This site is again XHTML 1.0 valid, and you can prove it by using the W3C Validator. Click the button in the sidebar that says W3C XHTML 1.0.
So I can safely say that any browser worth its salt should be able to render the site.
Now I think I'm going to do something about the color scheme . . .

PIQUA, Ohio - A trooper with the Ohio State Highway Patrol was honored on Thursday for saving a semi-truck driver's life.
According to the patrol, Trooper Eric Devers of the Piqua Post arrived 12 minutes before paramedics at a crash scene in Miami County earlier this year.
The video shows Devers running past the highway barrier to get to the crashed truck, where the driver was taking low, gasping breaths.
"Keep breathing," Devers said on the recording. "Don't you die. Don't you die on me. Come on. Open your eyes."
Devers can also be heard counting out chest compressions, while giving instructions to a passerby.
The driver was taken to an area hospital and made a full recovery.
According to the patrol, Devers' actions saved the man's life.

Five Beautiful Walks in Hampshire
There are few things more relaxing and healthy than a pleasant walk through nature, enjoying its beauty and serenity, along the way. If you have the opportunity to be in Hampshire, then such a walk may be just the thing you need to not just recharge your batteries, but to see this beautiful county for what it truly is. With over 3,000 miles of walkways, paths and byways crisscrossing all over the county, there is plenty of opportunity to explore this little gem.
Here are a few popular routes that you can walk down for some pleasant little treks through Hampshire.
Avon Valley Path
If you are looking to head on down for a really long trek, then this is something that you need to try on for size. The walk route is around 34-miles and is a full day's activity for the entire family. It takes you through all the gorgeous parts of Hampshire such as the wonderful cathedral-rich town of Salisbury, Christchurch Priory and more.
There are five sections on this walk and you can choose any combination you want. Depending on what you pick, you could end up with a walk through meadows filled with ponds and some incredible wild life or you could be heading down some peaceful little villages along the high chalk downland.
Stop wherever you want and have a picnic or just walk into one of those village pubs and make a trip out of it – the Avon Valley Path will always be a special place.
Pennington Circular Walk
Hampshire is dotted with these little towns and villages that offer some beautiful architecture set amidst breathtaking natural beauty. As part of a popular health walk series that is trying to get people to pay more attention to their health and walk more, the Pennington Circular Walk route was created.
The walk starts off from the White Hart Pub, on Milford Road and goes down the road towards Raven Court Road. As you pass through Rookes Lane, you hit the gorgeous Woodside Gardens. Just walk down along these gardens and go through Wisteria Walk to reach the Colonel Henry Douglas Rooke Memorial.
A relatively short walk that doesn't take too much time, this path is normally used by the walks organized by Healthy Walk. The 1.5 mile trip will take you about 30 minutes, if you are strolling leisurely, as you take in the attractive sights and sounds of this picturesque little town.
Past to Present
The Hartley Wintey village is all about its historical monuments from the Second World War. The route is a fascinating little trek that takes you through 5 miles of nice countryside, some extravagant buildings and an overall great experience.
You walk past the Causeway Common and Cricket Green, the second oldest ground in Hampshire; before moving past St. John Church. Then you head on down through the MildMay Oaks that were planted way back in 1820, and reach the St. Mary's Church, parts of which were built way back in 1234.
This entire walk is planned well and takes you through some of the oldest monuments in Britain before mixing things up with some relatively modern creations as well. An absolute joy riddled with kissing gates and even a steep descent, you will enjoy every minute of this short trek.
The Monk Walk
Designed and planned around the village of Selborne, the Monk Walk takes you through 275 acres of the National Trust meadow, woodlands and commons, which are open to public throughout the year.
The walk takes you through all the major attractions and beautiful buildings in the village, before leading you out into the countryside. Once you enter the woods, you cross over into farmlands, walk across streams & bridges and make the most of a enjoyable day. The walk is around 7 miles long but you do have the option of cutting it short with a 2 or 5 mile loop that cuts across the valley.
A fantastic way to see the Selborne village and visit the Blackmoor community, you will keep coming back for more on this one!
The Riverdance Walk Longparish
At 3.5 miles, this route is another one of those medium walks that keep you interested throughout the journey. There are some extremely stunning views not just of the village, but also of the natural beauty that surrounds it. You walk past some incredible monuments like the St. Nicholas Church and the Plough Public House before hitting the road between West and East Aston Common.
There are some fabulous sights but none more so than the long wooden bridge that just makes you want to stand and stare at nature. This is one walk that every nature lover will flock to, and if you happen to be in Hampshire, near Longparish, then you had better head on down this great route.
If you are visiting Hampshire for an extended break then as well as a fantastic range of individual hotels and bed and breakfasts in the area, there are also some excellent static caravans in Hampshire that can be rented out.

Cobain's overlooked legacy: Guitar teacher for a generation
Kurt Cobain, voice of a generation.
Also, that generation's guitar teacher.
It's been 20 years since the Nirvana frontman abandoned this plane, leaving behind a trove of power chords that can still be heard beneath the tender fingertips of anyone learning to play the electric guitar.
Among the multitudes who reportedly got their start strumming Nirvana riffs: Rostam Batmanglij of Vampire Weekend, rising Australian songwriter Courtney Barnett, who says she picked up "Come As You Are" at age 10, and countless other kids the world over.
"Nirvana gave a whole new generation of musicians a place to begin, a place to get a foothold," says Brad Tolinski, editor in chief of Guitar World, the magazine that - with Cobain's blessing - first began publishing notation to Nirvana songs in 1992. "He was a fantastic musician," Tolinski says, "and I think he liked the idea of people playing his music."
For '90s babies who didn't have the dough or the discipline for guitar lessons, those magazines did what so many YouTube tutorials are still doing today, and somewhere, Cobain has to be smiling. As an adolescent, he reportedly took just a month of guitar lessons - enough to learn the riff to AC/DC's "Back in Black" and figure out "Louie Louie" and "My Best Friend's Girl" later on.
We all know the rest. He quickly set out to write his own songs, formed Nirvana with bassist Krist Novoselic in 1987, completely hijacked the course of rock and roll in 1991, became famous beyond anyone's wildest imagination and ended his life in April 1994.
Before Nirvana, punk pioneers the Ramones were known as the band whose songbook could be decoded with the least amount of expertise. But when Nirvana's second album, "Nevermind," exploded in 1991, that changed. By moving an incredibly simple power chord shape up and down the fret board, newbies could learn to play some of the most popular rock riffs on the planet in the course of an afternoon.
"I started playing guitar around the time that 'Nevermind' came out," says Jack Antonoff, guitarist of platinum-selling rock band fun. and new project Bleachers. "Being able to mimic something you idolize like that was really encouraging - which is probably why kids aren't into super-prog jazz. They can't do it."
Cobain obviously wasn't a fan of florid guitar derring-do, either. His rudimentary style can perhaps be heard most clearly on the band's "MTV Unplugged in New York" album when he flubs the guitar solo to David Bowie's "The Man Who Sold the World" with a shoulder shrug. The guitar gods were fallible after all.
"He couldn't play - and had no interest in trying to learn - Eddie Van Halen speed scales or incredibly complicated jazz chords," says Butch Vig, the legendary producer behind "Nevermind." "But he was a great player with an instinct for writing really great, hooky, rhythmic, riffy chord patterns."
Part of Vig's task during the recording of "Nevermind" was making Cobain's scrappy riffs sound as massive on tape as they did when the band was dumping out decibels on stage. He often had to coax Cobain into double-tracking his guitar parts, explaining that the Pixies - a band Cobain worshiped - had done it.
But Vig says that even at its most raw, Cobain's guitar playing was always highly articulate and deeply expressive. "He had a kind of primal instinct for playing the guitar," Vig says. "And a lot of that comes from [his] punk background. . . . You were forced to become your own teacher."
Cobain's songs preached do-it-yourself-ism almost subliminally. Eleanor Friedberger says she never had a proper guitar teacher, but she did have an older brother - her future Fiery Furnaces bandmate, Matthew Friedberger - who gave her an electric guitar when she was a freshman in college.
Along with it: a notebook filled with scribbled instructions on how to play Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and "Sweet Jane" by the Velvet Underground.
"It's cool those were the two songs I got to learn first - it's what I loved the most at the time," she says. "I'm still not a great guitar player, but being able to follow along with those chords, it's like, 'Anybody can do this. This isn't hard.' It was totally empowering."
Matt Mondanile of New Jersey indie rock band Real Estate says he learned how to play "Teen Spirit" in middle school, years after Cobain's death. And although Weezer was the band responsible for the riffs he first fell in love with, it was Nirvana that laid bare the mechanics of rock and roll.
"I liked the idea that it was just this three-piece band," Mondanile says. "You could hear three different things all working together to create this big, insane sound."
That big, insane sound still seems to fascinate young people learning to play the guitar. Nayal Bhula, director of the Bach to Rock music school in McLean, Va., says young students still pour through his doors asking to learn Nirvana tunes. He's more than happy to oblige.
"There's that instant gratification of being able to hit the first few chords of 'Lithium' or 'Smells Like Teen Spirit,' " Bhula says. " But there's still nuance to this stuff, so you can keep growing."
That nuance is what draws so many pupils to Cobain's guitar playing two decades after his death.
"It's subtly complex," Vig says of "Lithium," a song he thinks captures the rhythmic precision that Cobain nurtured through devout practice. "He didn't really aspire to be a muso, but he did play guitar a lot. And when Nirvana came in to record 'Nevermind,' they had practiced every day for six months. So they were tight. As much as people think they had a slacker mentality, that was not true."
So keep practicing, kiddos. Because these riffs are incredibly accessible but ultimately unattainable.
"Anyone can play this stuff," says Antonoff of fun. "But nobody can play it like Kurt Cobain."

Javier Hernandez's stunning admission that may make another attempt to leave West Ham United after this summer's World Cup has garnered a strong reaction from Newcastle United supporters.
In an interview with Univision, the Mexico international revealed that had a transfer request rejected in January and admitted to being left frustrated at a lack of game time ahead of the finals in tournament.
"There has always been speculation as to whether I will stay or leave and I cannot guarantee anything," he said. "I have two more years of contract with West Ham, and everything will come up."
A signing from Bayer Leverkusen last summer when Slaven Bilic was still in charge, Hernandez hasn't quite recaptured the form from his previous spell in England with Manchester United.
He's scored seven goals in 24 Premier League appearances thus far this season, although he doesn't appear to be David Moyes' preferred choice to lead the line.
Reports suggest that the Irons would be willing to listen to offers for the 29-year-old in the summer and that could alert the Magpies.
Club legend Alan Shearer claimed on Match of the Day back in December that manager Rafa Benitez had both Tammy Abraham and Hernandez "ready to come" to St James' Park during the summer, only for both deals to be "pulled at the last minute".
Therefore with the Spaniard understood to be chasing a striker come the end of the campaign, could he reignite his interest in Hernandez?
Well, the reaction to these links has been a rather negative one amongst Newcastle fans on social media.
Take a look at the responses on Twitter...
However, there are a couple of fans that would like to see Hernandez arrive at St James' Park...
Having missed the 3-0 win over Southampton last weekend due to international commitments, Hernandez will be looking for a return to the squad this Sunday when the Hammers take on London rivals Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

**You can watch the book trailer for Bastard on my Amazon Author's page, by clicking on my Author's name at the top of the page**
**Warning this book contains coarse language and sexual content and therefore is recommended for persons over the age of 18**
My name is Carter Reynolds. I was born a bastard and I'll die a bastard. I learnt it at a young age, and nothing and nobody can change that. I'm on a one-way path of destruction, and God help anyone who gets in my way. I hate my life. Actually, I hate pretty much everything.
That's until I meet the kid next door. Indi-freakin'-ana. My dislike for her is instant. From the moment I lay eyes on her, she ignites something within me. She makes me feel things I thought I was incapable of feeling. I don't like it, not one bit. When she looks at me with her big, beautiful, haunting green eyes, it's like she can see into the depths of my soul. It freaks me the hell out. She's like sunshine and rainbows in my world of gloom and doom. I hate sunshine and rainbows.
I'm Indiana Montgomery. My friends call me Indi. Despite losing my mum at the age of six, I have a wonderful life and great friends. My dad more than makes up for the fact that I only have one parent. I'm his little girl, the centre of his world. I adore him.
When Carter Reynolds moves in next door, my life takes a turn for the worse. He's gorgeous, sinfully hot, but that's where my compliments end. He seems hell-bent on making my life miserable. He acts tough, but when I look into his eyes I don't see it. I see hurt and pain. To me, he seems lost.
I should hate him for the way he treats me, but surprisingly I don't. If anything, I feel sorry for him. I want to help him find peace. Help him find the light that I know is buried somewhere within his darkness, but he won't have a bar of it.
He's warned me time and time again to stay away, but I can't. I'm drawn to him for some reason. He's always referring to himself as a bastard. That may be true, but to me, he's more like a beautifully, misunderstood bastard. Whether he likes it or not, I refuse to give up on him.
I loved this story right from the start. It's a book of two parts. Part one definitely lives up to its title for Carter but that's more to do with an event that happened in his childhood. Part two he has grown up a lot in the years he's spent away. Shame he can't keep running from his mistakes as it could be his last chance to right them. Carter and Indiana both go through so much that you are just dying for them to get their happy ending.
The story starts with Carter who states that he was born a bastard, is a bastard and he will die a bastard. It can all be pin pointed to the moment that his mother took him to see his grandfather for the first time at the age of five. Lets just say it doesn't go well and it's the first time he hears the word bastard. Its not until he reads what it means that it changes him. From that point on he turns into a darker version of himself who treats everyone like trash, except for his mother, as that's how he thinks they are going to treat him. Hurt others before they can hurt you and keep your walls up seem to be his mottos. Intriguing that the more he does this when he meets Indiana the more she can see straight through him. Their first introduction doesn't go well, though that has a lot to do with the situation. His mother has married a complete tool who makes it very clear Carter is the unwanted baggage that comes with her. From the moment they move into his house Carter is counting down the days until he is eighteen so he can move out. Nothing will make him stay, even the temptress that's got under his skin who lives next door. The only problem with this is that the more time they spend together the more he sees her as a kindred spirit who seems to understand him better than himself.
Indiana doesn't get off to a great start with Carter. She pretty much thinks of him as an arsehole she'd liked to stay away from. Seems they keep bumping into each other though, well they are neighbours and going to the same school now. His mum then has the great idea that he should drive her to school, something she doesn't have much of a say in when Carter has his way. Their love/hate relationship starts from this point onwards. Carter is constantly trying to put up barriers between him and others to prevent them from knowing the real him – even though at times he doesn't even know who that is. No matter how hard she tries to not let him get to her he does anyway. She has a way of getting him to let his guard down and when he does she can't help but fall for him. No matter what he says he can't stay away and it just takes one kiss for both to see what might be. But he doesn't do relationships and doesn't want to have a reason to stick around so plans to stay away no matter what she asks of him. Umm yeah that doesn't work out too well because she ends up giving him something special anyway but even her virginity can't make him stay.
Skip forward five years and circumstances out of his control bring him home. Seems there was heartbreak on both sides but anger full front on hers when they are face to face again. Carter's hands just weren't quick enough, though really he should have seen it coming. Indiana it seems might have moved on and if Carter waits too long to right his wrong he will lose her forever.
Hot and heavy when they were younger but off the charts passion now they are older. Coming back together has its benefits but there's always something around the corner that could cause trouble. I loved Indiana's friend, she came up with some interesting ways for Indiana to try and get a reaction out of Carter when they were younger. Getting a guy to try and climb through her bedroom window being one of them – lets just say Carter is none too pleased and once the guy has been scared off Indiana and him have a very intense moment. Loved her dog Lassie, or as Carter liked to call him Larry, as he was what kept bringing them a bit more of a connection. Indiana's dad was a good character aswell as he brought out a better side to Carter. He was the father he never had and always wanted. Great bit of writing and I couldn't put it down. Will definitely have to check out what else the author has written.

Pulled pork is one of those dishes that gets you hooked on BBQ, and once you learn to make it you'll be surprised at how easy it is. The 2 key things here are preparation and patience, pulled pork is easy as long as you have them. Whilst it may take a long time to prepare it's well worth the wait for that tender porky goodness. We usually start a cook in the morning, marinading at around 10am but not putting the butt on until midnight, and it's normally ready for lunchtime the next day.
Method; Hot smoking
Suggested Woods; Hickory, Apple, Maple
Approx. Cook Time; 12-14 hours

Simple effective and reliable.
Application Area:Bio analysis

Good mass spec but bad UPLC
Application Area:Bioanalysis for drug PK
"The mass spectrometry part is pretty robust, but the HPLC breaks frequently. There is no column back pressure recording. It is supposed to have 4 solvent channels so that we can have 2 sets of mobile phases and switch between the 2 easily. but that is not the case. Some errors show up every time we set it up to switch during a batch run. And we were told by tech support just to use 2 channels and don't switch."

Member since: 2014
Organization: unicamp lab thomson
Excellent sensitivity and speed of analysis for quantification in low-level
Application Area:Analyze metabolites in cultivation medium to in vitro tumor cells
"For my work to identify biomarkers and metabolites quantification in low-level by LCMS the mass spectrometer of Sciex 5500 QTrap is very efficient in two aspects: scanning speed/mass analysis and high sensitivity in MRM mode. For some results using neutral loss (NL) mode, I also like the speed and sensitivity analysis when working with up to 2 NL transitions, no more than that. I have been working on the equipment about one year and I realize that the results are of high quality and reproducible results. Another advantage of the Sciex mass spectrometer is the ability to attach the equipment to a chromatograph of another company of my own preference. However, I have worked with others MS equipment software simpler, easy to learn and handle than the Analyst (the Sciex 5500 software). Further care to be taken when working with this equipment is to select the ion m/z desired with much attention because of its low resolution, although it is not a problem only assigned to this equipment. In relation to maintenance and cleaning is very practical equipment. The cost of maintenance, I believe to be the average of the other companies. Regarding the service after the sale, I have no objection, my questions are usually answered. "
Member since: 2004
Organization: Firmenich, Inc.
A great instrument that performs as expected day in and day out.
Application Area:small molecule quantification
"Software could be better, but like most software it is OK once you get used to it. We have had this instrument for 3 years and it has worked well consistently with no maintenance problems. It just keeps running, and I have confidence whenever I use it that it will perform well with no unexpected issues. Sciex service rep that performs yearly maintenance and calibration is knowledgeable and efficient, sales and application staff have been very helpful. "

Great value
Application Area:Bio-analysis/mipurity ID
"Hi-quality product to service our purpose and ease of use, high quality care service. "
Status:Advanced Reviewer
Member since: 2015
Organization: CDPH
We get great achievements with excellent data result, we very much like this instrument.
Application Area:Analysis of the environmental phenols and its impact to human health
"This instrument is easy to use, very stable with high resolution, low noise, and good MS accuracy and sensitivity. The source of MS instrument is very easy to maintain cleaning and very easy to clean up, too, by simply rising temperature to as high as 700°C. Sciex provides excellent service quality with very convenient and prompt tech support to help our customer to address the issues and solve the problems. The post-sale service is very satisfying. The instrument and service price is affordable and very reasonable. "
Member since: 2015
Organization: National Agri-Food Biotechnology Institute
Application Area:Targeted metabolic profiling of Primary and secondary metabolites in fruit samples.
"QTRAP® 5500 LC-/MS/MS System was used to quantitate a targeted group of primary and secondary metabolites. MRM parameters were based on the results derived after manual infusion of each compound which once learnt was very easy. All the compound belonging to a group could be put together in a method and a single run on LC coupled to QTRAP 5500 can identify the compounds from the sample even if they have same retention time. The calibration curve can easily be made using multiquant software which requires standard at different concentration and thus getting results is extremely easy. Once the MRM has been made, all standards can be run in mixture thus saving time. The results are accurate as they are based on MRM. Thus the only time consuming step is making a MRM library for the standards. The cleaning is very easy and takes a little time as only the curtain gas plate requires cleaning only if machine is used regularly and the matrix is dirty. Moreover, can be used continuously without "
