Space Safety Coordination: A Norm for All Nations
As space becomes more congested with satellites, the need for every nation to actively participate in the space safety coordination system grows. Most spacefaring countries participate, but a few countries do not—notably, Russia and China. That creates greater potential for collisions and hazards from debris.

Joint Military Exercises Distract from Complex Russia-Belarus Relationship
Analysts and military leaders have concerns that Russia will use the Zapad 2017 exercise in Belarus as a smokescreen to put personnel and equipment in place, and keep it there. But the deep ties and history of cooperation between the two states make the chances of that happening unlikely.

Russian Information Warfare: A Reality That Needs a Response
For the last three decades, Russia has exploited its growing capabilities in cyberspace to spy on, influence, and punish others. The West will continue to struggle to hold Moscow accountable, in part because international law falls far short of fully defining the rules or resolving conflicts.

Russia in Action, Short of War
The West needs to work more quickly and coordinate better to offset Russia's capabilities, aggressiveness, and success. Responding to Russia's hostile influence involves predicting Russia's targets, identifying the tools it's likely to use, and playing the long game rather than focusing on near-term events.

Well so far I haven't written anything about cricket so I thought I would take this opportunity. (more to come in the next month)
Cricket is really starting to understand its role within the world. The new Indian Premier League looks more like the start of a glitzy American league or when the FA reinterpreted how a national football league should look when they launched the FA Premier League.
Sponsorship money is coming in from all angles, pink balls are being used in games, a new form of the game (20/20) is taking the world by storm and the ECB signed a big deal with adidas and have just released 3 kits. 3 kits you say!
Imagine if the FA had done that with the national soccer team, think of the uproar. A shirt for test match play, a one day kit and a 20/20 kit have all been launched for fans of the English side. Now, I think they look great but I'm not sure of the need to bring these all out at the same time. For one you wont get as much impact for individual kits and secondly I would imagine some confusion will exist with fans and customers about which shirt is which.
I think it is an opportunity missed by both the ECB and adidas. That said, if they plan on adopting a football model and changing the shirts every season, like some clubs, then its no big deal for them – it just hits the poor old fan in the pocket!`

Autumn is in full swing and Monday's forecast is surely reflecting that.
Walking out your door Monday morning, temperatures will linger in the 50s before a brisk breeze begins around our lunch hour.
Although most of New England is beginning its day around the 40s and 50s, a low temperature of 26 has been reported in Presque Isle, Maine. Wow!
We're in for a dramatic change in forecast pretty soon since we're smack in the middle of Canada's cold building and the warm building down in the south. Being in the middle means we'll get a busy wind with gusts at about 20 to 30 mph that will die down as we head into the afternoon. It also means that we're subject to rain since we're in that battle of cold and warm.
That rain is expected Tuesday after a quiet evening of thickening clouds.
Showers will start to arrive in New England early Tuesday and will last through your commute home in the evening.
Those showers will begin to leave Wednesday morning and leave behind some scattered rain with a few rumbles of thunder and the return of humidity.

Sony Adding 50mbps 4:2:2 to the EX1/EX1R Replacement, the PMW-200
While large sensor digital cinema cameras are all the rage in narrative filmmaking right now, there is still a huge market for small sensor 3-chip cameras that are convenient for broadcast news, documentary, and event shooting. The PMW-EX1R and PMW-EX3 deliver a fantastic image, but the 35mbps 4:2:0 minimum compression does not compare very favorably to other small sensor cameras in the $5,000-$10,000 range -- like the Canon XF300 series, which features a 50mbps 4:2:2 recording mode (though the Sony cameras should be slightly better in lower light situations thanks to the larger sensors). We recently discussed that the BBC was not likely to approve the PMW-100 as an officially supported camera because it only features a single CMOS sensor. This 3-chip, 1/2" camera, however, should have no problem getting through the strict European standards.
Here are some of the main features of the PMW-200 -- thanks to Cinescopophilia for the information:
- Three 1/2" CMOS sensors
- 1080p 1-30 fps & 720p 1-60fps
- 50Mbps 4:2:2/35Mbps MXF and 35Mbps/25Mbps MP4 and DVCAM
- 3.5-inch WVGA (852×480) LCD
- 15 Second Cache Record Feature
- Card Capability: SxS ProTM, SxS-1 technology (two slots), (SD, Memory Stick Pro, and XQD with adapters)
- September Release Date -- Price: $7,790
Here is a video review of the camera courtesy of Cinescopophilia:
The 15 second cache record feature is extremely handy for event shooting (like weddings) where you may not always be recording. Something spontaneous might happen and instead of missing the first few seconds because you hit the record button late, you'll actually be able to have that footage safely on your memory card. At this price it makes sense that the bitrate would be increased to compete with Canon's offerings. While the EX1 is still a great camera, there are many situations that would benefit from having that extra color space and less compression. For narrative filmmaking, this camera obviously won't be very attractive thanks to it's massive depth of field. Even a smaller large sensor camera like the Blackmagic Cinema Camera is many times bigger than the sensors in this camera (which is why the notion that you can't get shallow depth of field with that camera is a little silly). Thanks to the 3 sensors, though, resolution with the PMW-200 will be extremely good, as each chip is given a primary color of red, green, and blue, instead of the bayer pattern associated with most single sensor cameras.
Though it is not a direct EX3 replacement, since it doesn't feature an interchangeable lens, the PMW-200 has more features at basically the same price as the EX3 (except for being able to remove the lens, of course). The price might scare some people away, but one of the huge positives is that a new release like this will drive a few more EX1s into the used market, and with an external recorder attached to either of those cameras, you should be able to match and even possibly exceed the picture quality of this camera. I've always personally been a big fan of the image quality coming out of the EX1 (I made a feature with a 35mm adapter and an EX1 -- though I dislike the button layout), and I'm sure this updated model will not disappoint.
If you're already an EX1 owner, what would make you want the PMW-200 over those other models?

My biggest complant about the EX1 is the awful menu layout. Sony puts things in weird places in my personal opinion. Also, the labels on next to the buttons have completely worn off for about 65% of the buttons on my camera. I love the fact that the PMW-200 will have a SD!!
July 25, 2012 at 11:55PM, Edited September 4, 10:54AM
My new hacked GH2 has a sharper, better exposure, and auto-focus than my EX-1. Also, the sunsets are dead on vs the horrific blooms from the Ex-1. My Sony PD150 shot more realistic sunsets... so I will wait and see a sunset shot with this new camera. Right now, the gh2 and go pros are fine for youtube and DVD. I can't wait to upgrade with easier workflow.
July 26, 2012 at 3:29AM, Edited September 4, 10:54AM
I'm a big fan of the EX1 simply because it's a workhorse, while newer cameras have surpassed it in image quality, I still would keep my EX1 around for event coverage and the like.
That being said, I might replace it with this, haha.
July 26, 2012 at 9:06AM, Edited September 4, 10:54AM
This is not an EX3 replacement. You should correct your misinformation.

Hi Joe...apologies for going off topic, but I really wanted to get your opinion on the rumored canon C100, the baby C300. More specifically what do you think canon will have to do, or rather leave out of the C300 to get a sub $10k 'C100'?

July 26, 2012 at 2:45PM, Edited September 4, 10:54AM
...Is there a hardware limitation why 50 Mbps 4:2:2 can't be implemented via a firmware update for the EX-1R, EX-3, or F3 cameras ?
Or is this Sony forcing you to buy a new camera when the old one is capable of being upgraded to record 50 Mbps 4:2:2?
July 26, 2012 at 4:59PM, Edited September 4, 10:54AM
They could end up doing the same as they did for the F3 and charge for the firmware update for about a year until people stop caring and then just release it for free. That is, assuming it is possible, though I can't see why not when it is a matter of codec. Though the EX1 does encode the same way as older XDcams, so it may be a completely different way of processing the MPEGs.
July 26, 2012 at 7:10PM, Edited September 4, 10:54AM
I hope that for the FS700 4K update they offer a 4:2:2 8 Bit in-camera recording at 2.5K res. I would gladly pay for something like that.
Not sure if I need 4K RAW, but 2.5K AVCHD would be fine. Since BMC is pushing the game, maybe it can even be 4:2:2 10 bit at 2.5K. I would gladly pay even more for that.
July 26, 2012 at 6:37PM, Edited September 4, 10:54AM
I've made a bunch of comparisons of the EX1 of the HQ 35Mbps image quality of the in-cam SxS XDCAM files versus the same shots sent out of the HD-SDI spigot recorded onto a AJA KiPro in Apple ProRes422 and I was really surprised at how hard it was to tell them apart! Initially I was upset about it because I was hoping for a big difference, and I went as far as to question the true quality coming from the HD-SDI output. But the flip side of the results basically shows that the Sony XDCAM codec is simply great at delivering a quality image at such a low bit rate. The half inch CMOS sensors can deliver enough DOF if you purposely set yourself up to get that and also, it's just nice to be able to quickly setup and record good balanced audio without a lot of workaround.
I know this sounds very pro Sony EX but know that I also own a Canon 5DmkII and I really love that camera, but it truly is more difficult to shoot on compared to the EX1 in many ways. I've gone as far as using a Wendt X3 with a custom TA5 cable that send a stereo unbalanced mix from a shotgun or lav to my 5DmkII and it sound fantastic, but it's still easier to shoot on a EX1. Mostly I miss the higher dynamic range of the 5DmkII and I use it for certain things but the EX1 is still a great camera and it's wonderful to not end up with terabytes of HD shot in 100Mbps when the 35Mbps SxS media looks really really good.
July 27, 2012 at 6:24PM, Edited September 4, 10:54AM
I don't understand, what is the use of having 3 chips, when the chroma sampling is stil 4-2-2?
August 2, 2012 at 9:17AM, Edited September 4, 10:54AM
Has anyone had problems with the viewfinder on the EX1. There is one in excellent condition going second hand for a good price and i ma very tempted, but have heard that the viewfinder is not very clear. I would never use the flip out screen to shoot with so thats not an option.
February 26, 2013 at 8:09AM, Edited September 4, 11:21AM
"So a Single CMOS sensor camera that records 1080p, will have lower actual resolution than a 3 Sensor CMOS camera that records 1080p."
Well explained! Most folks do not know this. It does seem though that larger sensor cams do have a more film like look. I have both, a Nikon D800 and a Panasonic AG-HPX300. Wish Nikon would give us more pixels for video.
You might also explain that pixel count is not resolution. Lines per picture height is resolution. Drives me crazy that this is not brought up more often.
And lastly XDCAM 50mps 422 is still Long GOP, correct? It's 2013, lets get off long gop! My HPX300 is several years old and does AVC Intra 422 at 100mbs/10bit to the P2 card. Admittedly the 422 out of the HDMI on the D800 is color wise only 8bit but you can do an intra codec or "raw" via an external recorder as I assume you can with the PMW-200's SDI.
Y'all be cool,

|Fred Cusick began calling Boston Bruins games in 1952. (File 2005)
Fred Cusick, 90, velvety voice of the Bruins for nearly 5 decades
- |
With a voice that rose from velvety to victorious in the time it took Bobby Orr to slap a puck into the goal, Fred Cusick brought radio listeners and television viewers onto the ice with the Boston Bruins from 1952 until 1997 and was famous for stretching out the word score until it seemed as if it had as many vowels as there were players.
A broadcasting legend for Boston sports who called the Bruins' last game at the old Boston Garden and the Patriots first football game, Mr. Cusick died in his Barnstable home yesterday of complications from bladder cancer. He was 90 and will be inducted into the Massachusetts Broadcasters Hall of Fame tonight.
"He was a pioneer in the broadcasting of televised hockey games, no question about it,'' said Harry Sinden, former general manager and president of the Bruins.
"The thing you remember about him was his style,'' said Dave Goucher, the play-by-play announcer for the Bruins on WBZ radio. "He wasn't someone who yelled and screamed for the whole game. Some moments in games are bigger than others, and he was the master of that, knowing when the big moment was there and how to call it. When a goal was scored, you knew something had happened.''
Mr. Cusick was the first American broadcaster inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame and in 1988 received the Lester Patrick Trophy for outstanding contributions to hockey in the United States.
Through the years, Mr. Cusick broadcast on radio and television stations that included WBZ-AM, WSBK-TV (Channel 38), and NESN, with such on-air partners as former Bruins player Derek Sanderson. He also did a stint broadcasting NHL games for CBS television.
In a statement, Jack Edwards, the Bruins' play-by-play announcer on NESN TV, said: "Those fortunate enough to inherit the position Fred Cusick created are merely playing on the land he cleared. None of us ever will have the impact he had in generating the fan base for this team.''
Part of his impact was simply opening television's door to the Bruins. In the early 1960s, Mr. Cusick personally got the team on the air by watching a game in Toronto on a Saturday night, then driving the videotape to Manchester, N.H., stopping en route in Concord, N.H., for a few hours of sleep. At 11 a.m., the taped game was broadcast on WMUR-TV.
Prophetically, he convinced the broadcast television community that the team's fortunes were soon to change, and they did a couple of years later with the arrival of Orr. As the devotion of fans intensified during the team's Stanley Cup victories and beyond in the 1970s, Mr. Cusick's voice became as recognizable as a Bruins jersey, his name as familiar as Orr's or Phil Esposito's.
"That voice is unmistakable, full and husky, like a tenor saxophone,'' Stu Hackel wrote in a Sports Illustrated profile in 1994. "At some moments, it is smooth, and at others, when play nears the goal, for instance, it is gritty. Each word is distinct. Listeners hear the final k in Kirk before the M in Muller. When the action is rough, Cusick gives each word a special punch. In moments of excitement - 'Saaave, Caaseeeey!' - he sustains the tension by elongating vowels.''
For Mr. Cusick, who could turn "Score, Bobby Orr!'' into a poetic couplet, looking down at the ice from the booth was like being paid for having fun.
"Broadcasting from the Boston Garden for 1,500 games surrounded by the passionate Boston fans made my job easy,'' he wrote in an e-mail to the Globe two weeks ago in response to interview questions. "I never felt like I was working - I had the greatest job in the world and the best seat in the house. The Boston Garden was the best place to broadcast a hockey game.''
Born in Brighton, Frederick Michael Cusick was one of three sons born to Irish immigrants from Galway. He was the baby of the family and treated as such.
"I always thought my father was an example of the idea that you should slightly spoil your children,'' said his son, Ted of Lancaster, Pa. "It not only gives them an enhanced sense of self worth, but also a sense of sweetness. He had this very benign kind air about him, combined with a little shyness.''
Mr. Cusick began his love affair with hockey by playing with friends on a pond or the Charles River when it froze.
"We'd start in the morning and play until the sun went down,'' he told Sports Illustrated. "Wouldn't even take lunch.''
At Northeastern University, from which he graduated in 1942, Mr. Cusick excelled at hockey and also played football and baseball. Then he joined the Navy, commanding sub chasers during World War II and staying in the Naval Reserves until 1946, when he left as a captain.
His first taste of radio came in 1941, when he was paid with passes to Fenway Park for a nightly sportscast on WCOP, but he really began his 51-year career in 1946 at WOCB on Cape Cod. While there he met Barbara Mullin, a teacher who worked as a waitress on the Cape in the summer. They married in 1947.
Mr. Cusick moved through the radio ranks quickly, to WBET in Brockton and WVOM in Brookline, where he created a popular "Irish Hour'' program. He broadcast "just about every sport imaginable,'' he told the Globe in the e-mail, a list that ranged from tennis to bowling. In 1952, he began broadcasting Bruins games on the radio for WHDH.
Though fans knew his voice, players and team executives saw another side of Mr. Cusick.
"He liked to play the piano, too,'' Sinden said. "A number of times over the years we would arrive at a hotel early in the morning. As we waited in the lobby for our rooms, there would be a piano in the lobby, and he'd play us a few tunes.''
Ken London, a producer and director who worked for a decade with Mr. Cusick at Channel 38, said Canadian audiences "loved Fred because he understood the tempo and flavor of the game.''
"He'd start out broadcasting with his velvety voice, in perfect rhythm and cadence with the game,'' London said. "By the end, he would have the same rhythm and cadence, but would be screaming like a wild banshee.''
When the game was over, London said, Mr. Cusick "would be on the bus, his coat on, reading a book as if he had been sitting in the library all night long, and the game was a million miles away at that point. It was strange to think that minutes before, he had been broadcasting the game at the top of lungs.''
In addition to his wife and son, Mr. Cusick leaves three daughters, Sarah and Martha of Barnstable and Mary of Brookline; and three granddaughters.
A funeral Mass will be said at 11 a.m. Saturday in Our Lady of Victory Church in Centerville.

Samsø Island in Denmark has become one of the first industrialized places in the world to qualify as being totally energy self-sufficient. The island is currently generating electricity from eleven 1 MW wind turbines as well as photovoltaic energy systems that are both large scale and individually owned. Homes on the island have been retrofitted for energy efficiency and use district heating, which is fueled by agricultural waste.
Presentations on community initiatives in Virginia followed. Charles Hendricks and Dr. Jeffrey Tang spoke about Harrisonburg Rockingham Green Network while Carol Davis, Community Outreach Facilitator for the New River Valley Planning District Commission, discussed the Sustainable Community Planning Grant.

people dressed in mourning colors stood around a decrepit being in a box as they lowered it to hell. buried it in dirt and buried the loss from their minds. most faces showed dismay. sum showed just puzzlement.
two others showed impatience. the few who were puzzled wondered who the impatient ones were, and what connection they had with the deceased but more so why they show such emotion. the two had no connection, had no sadness.
and were dressed in black simply beacuse thats how they dressed. as the last of the dirt was covered and the ppl became sparse.
only the two remained. relieved by their now aloneness the passionatly embraced and headed twoard their destination. picking up shovels along the way hidden earlier.
they went to a fresh grave and got two shovels in before a downpoar began. "u guys?" a sultry female voice called "hurry up its fillin up down here" the seductive melody was coming from a pipe in the ground hiddin away from the grave as the two dug the man couldnt help sneaking an ocasional kiss from the goddess illuminated in moonlight.
her wet black hair flat against her face the voice grew impatient as the couple finished their dig revealing a homeade coffin. they hauled it out prying the top off and revealing a busty brunette laying there with not a shred of clothing or material exept a burnt down candle that lost its flame long ago and a small ibony dagger fixed with a metal skull. its garnet gemed eyes gleemed like the blood washing off the tip from the rain "shit, you guys took long enough.
thought ud leave me down there" the nude girl stood breasts swaying in the process and reveling a bloody scabbed pentegram above her left breast. "you have no idea how hard it is to carve locked up in a coffin for a day. candle almost went out before the pentegram was finished" she glanced at her breast the black haired woman glanced at the man "finished?
she hasnt yet begun" and with that tackled the brunetted and mounted her "hand me the dagger" the man obeyed the red xxx wap sesatr and bahradar began to squirm with worry "what the fuck you guys! i did everything you asked." fear struck the girls eye as the black hair woman raised the dagger but instead of moving it high she raised it to her mouth and licked the length of the blade blood washed steadily from the wound on her tounge but not much was wasted before she swept down and kissed the girl in a forced mouth kiss pushing her tounge down herthrought and nearly drowning her with blood she disengaged the kiss and left the girl laying there shocked and coughing then the man assumed position over the girl and kissed her sucking the blood from her mouth he moved down her neck leaving littly bloody splats that soon washed away on a trail to her breast he stopped just before the left one and spit the last of the blood on then reopened pentegram then he dragged his teeth down over her nippled tracing a scratching path to her bare cunt he began to passionatly lap at her beautiful lips as the now naked black haired woman mounted her face and the brunette mimiced the man the black haired girl arched her back and grinded into the girls face.
she raised her breasts to the moonlight and revealed a similar scar to the girls.
although abover her was written the name moon a title given to her as her mother given name showed little of what she was. moon slid her wet crotch down the girls body rubbing her clit on the brunettes nipples as she slid all the way down curvy mamacita rides on a throbbing penis where the mans face was still pleasuring the girl who began to convulse with shakes of pleasure the man stood and began removin his black attire as the girls began a passionate clit rubbing kissing again the whole time the man got on his knees and placed his raging cock at the entrance to moons mound as he waited a seconded bathing in the warmth it provided.
he plunged the cock deep in her as his fingers traced a leg up the bottom girls leg inserting two into her well soaked cunt as he pumped away at moon. he slipped his cock out and placed it on the brunettes cunt and angled his cock.
as he pumped the length of his cock slid against moons click forcing moans from her still bleeding mouth.
the dagger appeared in her hand and she slid the hilt up her cunt lightly scrating the edge against the mans cock he began to cum with force plunging deep into the brunettes cunt.
the man grabbed moons petite breasts as he arched his back and scratched her nipples making her come along with the brunette. he revealed his chest to the sky and showed a similar scar with the name wolf above it. moon pulled the blade from her shaking snatch and carved rain into the girls chest "we bestow you with this name" "take it for it is who you are" "and with us you shall fine true darkness, true pleasure, and true pain"

But within 1 mile of the park there is a train station, café, bus stop, shop and a pub. If country and forestry walks are what you like the area is ideal with Delamere Forest only 1.5 miles away.
Within easy access to the Motorways M56 & M6. The airports at Manchester & Liverpool John Lennon are only a short distance away. The Train station links you with the cities of Chester and Manchester.
The old roman road Watling Street runs past the entrance to the park and the old Roman Fort is at the top of the hill. With panoramic views over the Cheshire plain, The Peak District National Park and the Irish Sea.
Sheltered in a 16th century quarry which was excavated to build the local Abbey, Delamere Grove with only 25 park homes this friendly community will welcome you and being out in the country is an ideal place to retire.

05 July 2016
I stayed home from church on Sunday, partly as a volunteer effort so that my toddlers could get their naps in. Our church starts just before nap time and while they're usually okay to skip them most Sundays, all signs that morning pointed to naps being a necessity.
Mostly, though, I stayed home because going would have been too overwhelming. The stress I was carrying (all small, primarily unimportant frustrations), combined with the anxiety that Sundays have been bringing more and more often would have been too much.
It seems contradictory to stay away from church when the world weighs heavily and you're just trying to make it through each day. Church should be a refuge; a place to seek solace and respite. In the past, it has been for me. I've missed weeks to months at a time before with babies and illness, and have found myself longing to get back, as though my soul was craving something that could only be found within those walls.
Church is harder now.
And not in the way it usually is going with young children. I don't have a problem getting my kids ready and out the door on time. We actually do pretty well. I'm not bothered that no one sits still and we usually end up out in the hall, eating grilled cheese sandwiches, leaving a trail of colored pencils and stickers behind us. I don't worry what others there might think as my sensory seeker holds my hands and hangs upside down before kicking her legs over, again and again.
I've accepted that this is what going to church as a family looks like now, and will for some time. I've stopped asking, "What's the point of even going?" when we leave early every single week.
That's not what makes it difficult.
Church is hard because the sense of dread makes it near impossible to find any sense of peace.
Church is hard because the anxiety I feel about going and being there makes it hard to focus on anything else.
Church is hard because I want to be there as much as I don't.
Church is hard because the hope that I have for it often clashes with its reality.
I know there's something to it. I'm still clinging to that.
I study the lessons in advance, for the times that I'm not sitting in the nursery. I anticipate every possible question or comment. And I pray. I pray to know what is true. I pray to know if the beliefs I hold close are wrong. I pray to know my place in my religion, and the place for religion in my life.
In the midst of all my uncertainty, on more than once occasion, I've felt deep in my soul that there is a place for me, just as I am. It's not one that is necessarily comfortable or passive. It's not a place of staying silent. But I do belong.
And so now I work to carve out that space- to more fully understand my role as a woman in the Mormon church; a feminist full of questions and doubt, but also hope.
Church is hard. Hope keeps it from being impossible for now.

Simply Blissful.
A while back, I had a sweet-tooth craving, and started the hunt for a café where I could enjoy a slice of cake.🍰 I asked a few people from school for suggestions, and the name Bliss kept coming up.
So I decided to try it out, and together with my friends Woo & Choden💑, we went to Bliss one evening for a late lunch/early dinner.
As I always say, "Food is my love language!"😄 And I believe a memorable eating-out experience is worth sharing, and a good recipe is worth passing on.

Magnolia and Cherry Blossoms were in bloom today After many weeks of rain the sun was shining again in Vancouver. I'd been driving with the top down on my Miata. Ladies on the street, lighter without umbrellas and overcoats. sported jackets of spring fashion.
Laura and I had heard from friends how much they'd enjoyed Valley Song by Athol Fugard. Tonight was our theatre night. We have season tickets at Pacific Theatre.
Set in the year following South Africa's first free election 1994, the play focused on the relationship of Abraam "Buks" Jonkers and his granddaughter Veronica Jonkers. Buks is 76 and in love with the land, his valley, the village and the crops. Veronica loves her grandfather, singing and is drawn to the city. The story includes her dead mother, Caroline and the dead grandmother Betty. Buks spoke to the ghosts them when he was alone. Change was coming to the valley. Buks was for the old. Veronnica's dreams and Johannasberg were the change.
David Adams played Buks passionately. Sereana Malani played Veronica touchingly. David Adams also played the author, the white man who had come to the valley to escape the city. Veronica broke into her own songs, remarkable feeling pieces of home, her life and the valley, original music by Cathy Nosaty.
I cried. I laughed. The acting and song couldn't be better. Even the set by Drew Facey couldn't be improved on. Director Jovanni Sy is incredible. I was drawn right into the story with the fingers of the writing getting a hold on my heart, tight, the acting stirring my soul.
I liked the talk of land, planting pumpkin seeds and prayers for rain. The play was full of metaphor. As spring was coming here to Vancouver the play of change and renewal in another land and time.. A play of immense depth. It reminded me of the old plays that first fired my love for theatre, Death of a Salesman, I Remember Mother. Yes, I loved Shakespeare but it was the Chekov and Noel Coward that really captured my imagination. I wanted to be a play wright when I was younger but settled for a love of theatre. This play, these actors, this theatre, the director, the whole creative team made me thankful tonight again for live theatre.
The applause went on for a long time. Laura loved the play as much as I did. She'd been crying and laughing too. The last theatre we'd been to had been a few months back on Broadway in New York. In it's own way this little theatre production was just as good. We are truly blessed to have Pacific Theatre for it's character and excellence.
Thank you.

MMOs and the MMORPG can't thrive in mediocrity. In order for the game in this genre to please a consistent or growing player's base of the size necessary to keep
an MMO world ticking over, there needs to be something about it that's both different and should be brilliant. Upon the first launch which was three years ago, The Elder
Scrolls Online did not have this essential ingredient. It felt too much like an MMO by mere numbers and its splash of Tamriel flavouring was not quite enough to set it
Since then it's been added to the, revamped and revitalised, with One Tamriel, which opened up the world via a new level of scaling system, and Zenimax Online's forays
into more flavoursome RPG storytelling with its Orsinium DLC. Morrowind, ESO's first additional 'Chapter',which is a fresh mark in the sand for the game, a point from
which all the fans will be able to say it really found its place in the wider pantheon of MMOs. And that place would be a teller of great stories.
I'm fairly late into a particularly long session of playing when this effectiveness of ESO's new storytelling potential hits me. I have spent the better part of two hours in
Sadrith Mora, entangled in the plight of Sun-in-Shadow, an Argonian slave with untapped magical abilities , along with some of the cool mages and other classes
and an enthusiasm for the local mage community's propensity for political intrigue. As I jog about the town, chatting to other wizards and councilors on her behalf,
smoothing her possible path to a higher rank, little nuggets of exposition are expertly planted all which adds extra spice to proceedings. There's Eoki, a love-spurned
fellow slave waiting for his one-time partner to free him. There's a deep seeded racism in the council chamber, with one character in particular seeming to hold a
meaty grudge against some of the Sun-in-Shadow's lizard-folk.
What doesn't feel that much of fresh at all is the game's combat. This is an area that has had only minor improvements over the last years. It's still clunky, preoccupied
with left and right mouse clicks in time with quite over-egged animations and stun markers. The new player class, the Warden, is perhaps a telling indicator of how
uninspiring the existing classes are to pick up from and why they are so hard to even remember beyond the character creation screen. The Warden is capable of performing in DPS, healing ,the DPS is low compared to
other classes and tank roles, and boasts an ultimate ability which sees a persistent bear guardian follow you around to aid in combat. It can do everything well, basically,
and picking anything other than Warden when starting the game afresh now feels like the wrong thing to do. That's great if you're just starting out, but for those already
wondering why they bothered picking Nightblade three years ago, the itch to just start over and get yourself a friggin' bear will likely be high. I can't help but wonder why more games in this genre don't look towards FFXIV's
excellent and superb class system, which simply lets your one main character be whatever you want it to be, whenever you want it to be. In ESO, and its new
Morrowind excursion especially, I ache for the freedom of my character development proffered up by the game's mainline inspirations. One thing that is great about the Warden—again, is to the detriment of the other
classes—is that it is a very readable class. With all characters capable of wearing any armour sets, it can be hard in a pinch to clock what role any given player
character is supposed to fill in. Is that fully plated cat-person over there a tank or a healer? With the Warden, well, she's got a bloody bear next to her for a start. Each
ability performed is also given a telltale series of persistent animations. A load of mushrooms sprouting at that Warden's feet? Then she's a healer. Covered in ice?
Then she's a tank. It's a shame that the old classes remain comparatively unmemorable or unreadable but some think as an advantage.
Given the quality of the storytelling in the main event and the fact that it can all be tackled solo, it does beg the question: why make this an MMO at all? In Morrowind,
there are not too many explicit excuses to partner up. In fact, in terms of PvE, there's a new 12 player Trial (ESO's version of a raid) and that's about it. The Halls of
Fabrication Trial suffers from all the same problems that the game's existing Trials do, and that is that there's little incentive to get that involved.
On the hunt for a new game or new adventure to power through to the endgame of with a bunch of guild mates? ESO: Morrowind, despite being hugely improved from
the base game, still isn't going to be scratch that itch. But this new chapter is one of the most encompassing and charming repositories for great stories I've played in a
long time. Morrowind is an essential excursion for those of a certain gaming vintage, loaded as it is with reverence for that 15 year-old childhood adventure. It's also an
ideal way for those unfamiliar with the original Morrowind to discover this enrapturing landmass for the first time and to explore. Just don't feel like you need to invite all of
your friends along for the trip.

Having regular office fruit supplier is the most excellent way to make sure optimal employee health, long life and contentment. Serving a fruit platter will replenish your team's energy right away. Also it will make sure that addictive items such as chocolate and coffee are kept in moderation. Below are the reasons why we suggest you to consider getting an office fruit supplier:
Fresh fruit to keep your staff energetic
Providing fresh fruit to employees is indeed the most cost-efficient benefit of signing up with an office fruit supplier. This will keep them in a good mood, refreshed and energetic.
Increased productivity of staff
Research shows that employees agreed that their office enabled them to function more productively and fruitfully by 11% following the introduction of fruit to the working station or workplace. 79% of employees stated the fresh fruit made them feel more respected and esteemed as a worker.
Good nutrition is increasingly respected all over the world. Offices or companies that provide health and fitness support to their workers are gaining profits from improved job commitment as well as better employee retention. A survey showed that 87% of employees will rather get hired by a company which provides health and fitness support than by one with no such support. More than 80% of companies with contracts for fruit deliveries agrees that introduction of fresh fruits in the workplace improves the quality of life in the workplace.
Employees fitness and health
81% of employees with access to fruit thought having fruit on hand at their desk has boosted their quality of life at the office. 70% of employees begun eating fruit during work (they were not doing it previously). 45% of employees ate fewer junk or unhealthy snacks.
Enhanced corporate reputation and image after introducing a supply of fruit
Offering fresh fruit is an extremely visible advantage. It frequently is a point of discussion amongst employees. This contributes to differentiate offices as well as boosting their business reputation and image.
Suppliers of office fruit aim to give a true taste experience beyond the grocery stores or conventional fruit sellers. Suppliers just concentrate on serving workplaces and makes sure they give their corporate clients a superior service, not usually related with the average fruit retailer.
What to Look for in an office fruit supplier:
- High quality fresh fruit with a seasonal mixture backed up by 100% quality guarantee
- Stress free service
- Freedom to select the fruits you want to order

To the Editors: Transfusion-associated non-A, non-B hepatitis has recently been shown to result usually from infection with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) (1). Although we recognize that non-A, non-B hepatitis can follow smaller inoculum percutaneous exposure, such as a needlestick injury (2), data implicating HCV in this circumstance are lacking. I report an instance of HCV transmission by a needlestick injury incurred 18 years ago with persistence of circulating anti-HCV to the present.

There was a disgraceful moment for the sport of hockey on Thursday during the World Junior Championship. An ice-crew member was adjusting the net when Czech Republic players fired pucks at him, narrowly missing his head.
The players pretended not to see him. You could see the ice-crew member's body language become angry as he stormed off the ice. On his way off the ice, he was hit by a puck that ricocheted from the Swedish team.
Rough day at the office for this guy - Czech's don't see him in net, then hit by a puck in the Swedish zone as he tries to leave.#Worldjuniors pic.twitter.com/41d45p9cJa— Ryan Biech (@ryanbiech) December 28, 2017
This treatment of the ice-crew member is controversial. He may not be as famous as the hockey players. But he is a human being, and deserves to be treated with respect. Let us know what you think about this incident in the comments below.

GREENVILLE, S.C. (March 31, 2014) –The winner of the In-TIRE-National Art Contest, sponsored by Michelin North America, is a dimensional portrait that celebrates the life of South African leader Nelson Mandela.
The winning submission is from Easley High School in Easley, S.C. and was created under the direction of the school's visual arts director, Dr. Russell Jewell. An awards ceremony was held today at Michelin North America's headquarters in Greenville.
More than 30 pieces of artwork were submitted for the In-TIRE-National Art Contest in support of Upstate International month. The artwork was submitted by individual artists and non-profit organizations along with arts societies, businesses and schools ranging from elementary to college. Teams used donated Michelin tires to create a wide range of pieces that included an elephant, a Palmetto tree and an "Eiffel Tire" inspired by the Parisian landmark.
The winning entry, "Mandela Mandate," was a vision of Jewell's. "With Nelson Mandela's recent passing, I was inspired by the message he sent the world about the importance of freedom," said Jewell. "And what better way to bring that to life than through a visual arts competition?"
As the winner of the In-TIRE contest, Jewell selected the Easley High School art department to receive a $5,000 donation from Michelin. He estimates that he, along with his fellow art teacher, Winston Cely, spent more than 60 hours transforming the tires provided by Michelin into the winning entry.
Leesa Owens, community relations director for Michelin, said, "We were extremely impressed with the creativity and imagination of the teams that participated in this contest. The works of art that we received truly reflect the vibrant and international culture that thrives in our region."
The competition is part of Michelin's ongoing support of Upstate International month, which took place during March. Open to local artists, groups, schools and organizations, registered participants received four tires donated by Michelin. Participants then had three weeks to craft a work of art that incorporated an international theme. Submissions were judged by a selection committee on overall design and execution, global premise and tire usage.
The selection committee members were:
Alan Ethridge, executive director, Metropolitan Arts Council – Before becoming MAC's executive director in 2006, Ethridge served as director marketing and development. He serves on the Board of Governors of the Greenville Convention and Visitors Bureau as well as the Board of Governors of the Greenville Chamber of Commerce, Artisphere and the Board of Advisors of the Department of Visual Arts at Greenville Tech.
Elizabeth Goddard, executive director, Spartanburg Arts Museum – Prior to coming to Spartanburg, Goddard served as director of Exhibitions and Interpretation at the Urban Institute for Contemporary Arts (UICA) in Grand Rapids, Mich. She received her master's degree in art education from the University of New Mexico and her bachelor's degree in English literature from Pitzer College in California.
Karen Chambers, principal, Sue Cleveland Elementary School – Chambers has been the principal at Sue Cleveland Elementary school for 17 years. She has been recognized as Teacher of the Year at Sue Cleveland Elementary, a School Leadership and Executive Institute Fellow with the State Department of Education and a Clemson Fellow. She has been nominated for outstanding Principal of the Year at the state level.
Paul Yanko, visual arts director, Governor's School for the Arts – A teacher in the visual arts department of the South Carolina Governor's School for the Arts and Humanities, Yanko has exhibited extensively in solo and group exhibitions at institutions, including the Cleveland Museum of Contemporary Art and the McDonough Museum of Art.
The artwork will be on display at various sites across the Upstate including the Michelin on Main store in downtown Greenville.

Introduction: Led's Skate-inator
Doctor Heinz Doofenshmirtz has been bussy lately on this Led's Skate-inator! His plans to take over the world never stops. This tutorial shows how to transform a simple skateboard into this Hi-Tech and remarkable world conquering skateboard Led lamp with wall mount.
For this instructable you'll need:
- A skateboard without trucks
- 50 leds
- A 9V power source
- 1 - 3 switches
- One 270 Ohm resistance
- Isolation tape
- 1,5 meter of cables
- Soldering
- Hot glue gun
- A 3D printer
- patience .... a lot of patience
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Step 1: Soldering the Leds
For my skate-inator I used 7 strips of 5-9 leds each.
1. Display the leds in front of you, in the right color order. (you decide what is the right color order).
2. Fold the leads of the LEDs as shown on the picture in order to sold the short leads to the short leads and the long leads to the long leads. We created a parallel circuit.
2. Sold the short leads to the short leads and the long leads to the long leads.
Step 2: Step 2: Put the Leds on the Skateboard
First decide where you want to place the LED strips on the skateboard and measure how much wire you need between each strip. Then solder the wires between the LED strips. Note that you soldered the plus to the plus and minus to minus.
Once the two strips are soldered together then stick the first to skateboard with a hot glue gun. Solder the second strip on the third and put the second onto the skateboard. Continue until they all sit together and attached to the skateboard.
Step 3: Step 3: Add the Juice
In this step we add the battery to the switch and the resistance. Note that you never soldered while there is power to the circuit! NEVER.
1. Solder the resistance to your first or last LED strip and the plus or minus side of the wire connected to your battery.
2. Solder the other side of the LED strip to the switch, and those returning to the plus or minus side of the wire that goes on the battery. Stick the switch with the hot glue pistol on the skateboard.
3. If everything is soldered you can connect the battery wires. Attach the battery with double-sided tape on your skateboard.
Step 4: Step 4: Print the Wall Mounts
To attach your skateboard to the wall download the mounts over here:
Adjust them to the size of your skatebaord.
Step 5: Step 6: School Assignment Requierments
Tape a hinge to your skateboarding and tape a piece of lasered wood on the other side.
To laser the wood, take the first available laser design that you encounter and laser your timber.
Now I met the school assignment requierments. woohoo!

The Oakley brand is renowned for the amount of research and development they invest in bringing the highest quality lenses to the market. The performance of their sunglasses, especially for sport, is a major selling point for athletes (and everyday people who take their hobbies seriously.)
Oakley utilizes patented technologies to create lenses with advanced clarity and accuracy that far surpass conventional lenses based on the testing standards of the ANSI (American National Standards Institute).
Here are some of the impressive features of Oakley lenses:
High Definition Optics® (HDO®) which...
HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS - GOLF from marcel seva on Vimeo.
Sport Specific Prizm™ lenses
Oakley has invented specially engineered lens tints to emphasize only the colors that you need to see based on specific sports and environments. Oakley Prizm™ technology filters out the background "noise" of light and fine tunes the color spectrum to improve your performance and ensure ultimate safety while you're at play.
Prizm Road helps riders spot subtle changes in the texture of the road so they can react more quickly and ride safer
Prizm Trail enhances reds and browns so you can quickly spot sand rocks roots and other transitions in shade and bright light
Prizm Golf improves contrast for better separation of color and gives you more depth cues to gauge distance and grass condition
Prizm Baseball Outfield accentuates the blue of the sky to enhance the contrast of a fly ball
Prizm Baseball Infield helps you track ground balls. makes greens and reds of the grass and dirt richer so that the white of the baseball stands out
Prizm Daily Polarized dull colors become warm and rich for sharper contrast and a more pleasing relaxing visual experience
Fans of Oakley sunglasses are already familiar with their high quality lenses and the amount of advanced technology that goes into the frame construction. However, with many of the sportier lens shapes - specifically the wrap-around lenses - it used to be difficult to get a prescription to work without distortions in peripheral vision. This problem was exacerbated for people with higher prescriptions, many weren't even able to order sporty wrap-around sunglasses in their prescriptions at all.
Unsurprisingly, Oakley has come up with a solution for these problems, addressing them with state-of-the-art materials and patented technologies. With Oakley True Digital™ lenses you can get -4 to -6 power lenses with exceptional visual clarity, even in wrap-around lenses.
Oakley True Digital™ use their Oakley Dual-Peripheral Technology™ for:
Oakley True Digital Edge™ lenses provide curvature for side protection against sun, wind and impact, while still allowing those with a high prescription to have a cosmetically attractive thin lens. Oakley's ThinZone technology uses proprietary software to sculpt a thinner lens profile, with a thickness reduction of up to 40%.
Dynamic Frost Technology
Another lens advancement from Oakley is Dynamic Frost Technology, which applies a satin frost finish to minimize any visual distortion. Oakley True Digital™ lenses include this frosted finish because the curves created by the ThinZone method also cause varying prism and power. If left clear, this would result in intermittent and confusing vision. The frosted area can be up to 11mm and will vary with prescription, pupil distance and frame.
Oakley True Digital™ Sport-Specific Progressive
Oakley frames are progressive friendly, but if you have a certain hobby you'd like to optimize your vision for, they also offer a Sport-Specific version. OTD™ Sport Specific Progressive Lenses maximize performance in each zone of focus to give you the best vision possible for cycling, golf and fishing.
If you have concerns about ordering prescription lenses online, be assured FramesDirect.com have plenty of resources to make the process easy. Buying glasses online can be less expensive and simpler than visiting your local optician.
Don't hesitate to call one of our certified opticians at 1-800-248-9427 (Int'l: +1 512 402 8557) if you have any questions about Oakley lenses.

There's a firmly held myth out there that once a person makes the switch to a plant-based diet, they automatically become healthier and slimmer overnight. However, that's not strictly true. Indeed, there are plenty of vegan-friendly junk foods and bad dietary habits you can still indulge in once you decide to become a vegan. For example a person could feast on sugary biscuits, crisps, fizzy drinks etc., and still be in the strictest sense following a vegan regime, but it certainly wouldn't be healthy or good for your waistline. Our mantra at Dee's is that 'Goodness is Tasty!' and to be truly healthy in your diet, balance is the key and this is true for a vegan diet as much as it is for any other diet.
However for vegans there are certain dietary factors that need to be considered to achieve that healthy balance [link http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/Vegetarianhealth/Pages/Vegandiets.aspx ]. Talk to any vegan about protein and you're likely to get a wry smile in return. Many believe its's difficult for vegan's to consume enough nutrients, such as protein and calcium on a plant-based diet. However, with a little research and meal planning, it's actually very simple to have a balanced, nutrient rich and of course delicious vegan diet. The big protein question often goes something like this; 'how will you get enough protein now that you don't eat meat?' And thankfully it's easily answered. Foods such as beans, artichokes, asparagus, quinoa, peas, nuts, seeds, mushrooms, oats, chickpeas, lentils and broccoli are packed with protein. Iron is another important nutrient and one that's often associated with red meats, but in fact there are a range of delicious iron rich vegan foods out there, such as leafy greens, dark chocolate, dried fruits, nutritional yeast, molasses, seeds, nuts, broccoli and many more that are full of vital iron. Do bear in mind that for anyone, vegan or not, Vitamin C is essential to aid the absorption of Iron so look for foods that tick both boxes, such as dark leafy greens or enjoy some foods like potatoes, blackcurrants and oranges that are busting with Vitamin C.
Calcium and Omega 3 fatty acids are two other crucial nutrients for a healthy body and ones often associated with a meat and dairy laden diet, but don't panic, vegans can easily incorporate plant-based foods rich in these nutrients into their daily diets. For many, calcium has become firmly associated with milk, but there are lots of other rich sources of calcium to consider, such as white beans, kale, tofu, oatmeal, oranges and broccoli… Starting to see a pattern here? You'll notice there are certain foods which crop up again and again thanks to their super rich nutrient content and are essential to add to your daily diet. Don't forget the Omega 3 fatty acids which are needed for heart, brain, skin, and joint health. Fish is often cited as the best source, when in fact you can get your Omega hit from walnuts, flax seeds and rapeseed oil.
Finally, don't forget you can complement your diet with vegan friendly supplements if needed, but it's always best where possible, to try and get nutrients from your diet, The Vegan Society of Ireland [link http://www.vegan.ie/live-vegan/vegan-nutrition/ ] has some very helpful information on vegan nutrition. If in doubt talk to your doctor or nutritionist and remember that balance is the key to a healthy diet. All of Dee's range of tasty vegan foods are packed full of essential nutrients, wholesome ingredients and do not contain any unhealthy additives or GMO ingredients and are also gluten, dairy, egg and meat free, making them an ideal addition to your balanced vegan diet.

We love reading the Los O'Grady blog, and this post with their perspective on what you need to consider when thinking about a move to México. It's a really good blog post, enjoy!
We love reading the Los O'Grady blog, and this post with their perspective on what you need to consider when thinking about a move to México. It's a really good blog post, enjoy!
Here is some great advice from Oaxaca resident and mezcal expert Alvin Starkman. I mean it, if you are thinking of moving to México, this is the kind of helpful article you need!
I have lived in México for four years now, and have written two blog posts that might be helpful to others considering making México their home.
Not everyone is suited to life away from their home country, and the decisionmaking process involves a lot of honest thinking about your needs and wants.
The first, How to Be a Successful Expat, was very popular and I received a lot of positive feedback (and ideas for a follow-up post!)
The second was written after an American expat here in México insulted our decision to live at the beach, as he considered his choice of location in the mountains "right." That one I called We're all Looking at the Same Moon, but could just have easily been called More on Being a Successful Expat.
I hope you find them both helpful.
One year ago, Jennifer and I left the United States with a fully-loaded Toyota 4Runner and moved to Mexico.
Our first year as expats was eventful and full of surprises. Looking back, we have wonderful memories, several new friends and an enthusiasm for the future.
Jennifer had more experience with the expat life than me. She had lived in Germany and London for four years during high school, but attended international schools and never quite became an expat. My summer in a Paris apartment hardly qualified me as an expat, but I did get a taste of it and wanted more.
We have been content to rent a house on the island of Cozumel while we went about the business of setting up our photography business. We interviewed lawyers and accountants and started the process of creating a Mexican corporation, which would allow us to work here legally. While the paper work was making its way through the system, we attended language classes in Chiapas, saw some of Mexico and made new friends. One month after arriving on the island we got married. So, a big year.
Here are a few of the high points and things we have learned in the last year:
1) We loved driving here, have done it three times, and highly recommend driving as the best way to see this beautiful country. Get a Guia Roji, the best road map for Mexico, a Mexican chip for a Garmin GPS (sometimes helpful, sometimes woefully inaccurate) and plan your trip carefully. We were coming from New Mexico, so we could essentially cross the border at a number of places. We crossed early on a Sunday morning at Laredo. A quick pass through customs, then immigration, then getting our car permit and we were on the road by 8:30am, arriving in San Miguel de Allende before dinner. More than 80% of our route was on four lane roads, many of them cuotas (toll roads). A bit more expensive, but you make good time. Our second night in Fortin de las Flores, third night in Palenque (if the road to Villahermosa isn't flooded – it was last year at this time, see the blog post of Oct. 1, 2010) and we catch the 6:00pm ferry to Cozumel on the fourth day.
We NEVER drive at night. We don't know the roads, there might be a few vehicles on the road without lights, there are pedestrians (sometimes inebriated), animals and hundreds of topes. Plus, eight hours a day should be enough. Slow down, the journey can be as enjoyable as the destination.
You don't want to see the room!
If, for some unseen circumstance, you don't end up in the town where you planned to stop and it is getting dark, look for a "Love Motel". You'll recognize them by the fence that obscures the entire motel and the curtain or garage door that covers the parking area for each room. Created for couples who want privacy, the rooms are available for four hours or for the entire night. The secure parking for an auto full of your stuff is invaluable.
2) We lived here as locals for a six-week test run before moving. Being here as a local, going about your work, shopping at the markets and stores, arranging for cable tv, a cell phone, etc. will help you to decide if you will like living in the place where you had only previously vacationed. We made the decision to rent until our business will support us. The island is loaded with houses and condos for sale by people who bought while on vacation and then decided that the expat life was not for them.
3) When setting up a corporation, ask other expats who they have used, then interview a couple of attorneys and accountants. You will need both. If you don't speak Spanish well, make sure your accountant and attorney are fluent in English. You don't want miscommunications when setting up your company. Our entire process was smooth and we now shoot destination weddings, advertising photos and contribute travel photos to the National Geographic Image Collection.

4) Learn the language!!!!! Take classes, read the newspapers, keep a dictionary close by, watch television in something other than English. Change the language settings on DVD movies and watch it in the language you are learning while using English sub-titles.
5) Travel and discover the amazing country of Mexico. Long coastlines, rugged mountain ranges, vast deserts, mysterious jungles, lush rain forests, bustling modern cities and beautiful colonial cities, are only a few of the reasons to leave your comfortable home and see Mexico. I am constantly amazed at the number of expats on my island who don't try to speak Spanish or who have never seen any of the country.

6) We love: the island of Cozumel with its relaxed atmosphere, colorful Carnaval celebrations and clear Caribbean waters; small, lesser known Mayan ruins like Ek Balam and Calakmul; the architecture and sophistication of San Miguel de Allende and Guanajuato; the vast number of Reservas de las Biosferas; everything about Chiapas; tacos al pastor, Bohemia beer, Centenario tequila, sopes for breakfast, jamaica, pork any way it is cooked, Campeche camarones, warm handshakes and cheek kisses when we greet our friends; the love shown to children; salsa music; and the general love of life that permeates the country.

7) If you are an animal lover, adopt a pet. Although don't be surprised if one adopts you first. While more and more Mexicans have pets and are responsible pet owners, there is an overpopulation problem, due to the lack of a spay and neuter program in most places. You can practice your Spanish on the dog or cat who shows up on your doorstep.

8) Don't be in a hurry to get things done (mañana doesn't mean tomorrow, it just means "not today"), don't compare habits, rituals, government, service providers or drivers to the country you have left. Prepare yourself for a change in thinking to go with your change in address.

Eben Goff: New Sculpture
16 March - 13 April 2013
Diane Rosenstein Fine Art is pleased to announce Eben Goff: New Sculpture, an exhibition of ten new works by the Los Angeles artist. New Sculpture presents an array of recent works that continue the artist's exquisite explorations into material forms, natural processes, and notions of romantic beauty. This is the artist's first solo exhibition with the gallery and will include Channels, Solids, and Wax Paintings - three distinct forms of work which employ engraved wax, polished metal, carved wood, and pigment to create dimensional objects.
Mr Goff is influenced by the aesthetics of landscape painting and wilderness and works from the sculptural traditions of Ursula von Rydingsvard and Richard Deacon. In New Sculpture, Goff's work has two primary modes of performance: containment and habitation.
Beginning with his minimalist Wax Paintings, the artist engages the painting-object as a container, and the variegated and pigmented wax surface as the stage for a material event. Containment is further realized in the artist's Channels: aluminum geometries holding wax pools, analogous to the dynamics of a rivers' flow through flood channels or the force of living energy coursing through a body.
In the Solids, he presents carved wooden volumes etched by pigments that emphasize their exterior dimensions as much as they reflect some interior structure. These wall-mounted sculptures have a presence of portraiture, and incorporate formal elements of early 20th century modernist abstraction. In Solids, form and process are entwined in such a way that the work recites its own history and becomes a figure of time.
Eben Goff holds a BS from Skidmore College (2000) and an MFA from UCLA (2009). A two-time recipient of an Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant (2007, 2009), Goff works on the cusp of the natural and the minimalist, moving between painting and sculpture in exhibitions nationwide. Recently, his sculpture was included in The Black Mirror, a group show curated by James Welling and Diane Rosenstein at DRFA (2013), and NeoNatural curated by Doug Crocco at Steve Turner Contemporary, Los Angeles (2012). His solo exhibition, Batholith Etchings, was shown at Ruth Bachofner Gallery, Santa Monica in 2011. Mr. Goff lives and works in Los Angeles.
