Each of these unique heritage properties has been restored by Scottish Canals, working in partnership with the Vivat Trust, a registered charity and national building preservation trust, and are now available as holiday lets through Natural Retreats.
Each restoration we undertake is sensitive to the history of these incredibly important buildings. By securing third party funding, we have been able to restore period features and bring these cottages back into productive use as high quality self catering holiday accommodation.
As well as securing the long term future of the buildings, our work ensures the cottages remain in public ownership, so anyone can enjoy their unique qualities and understand more about their relationship with the canal.
Adding to our portfolio of holiday accommodation, our two bothies at the stunning destination of Laggan Locks were built as part of the Scottish Scenic Routes initiative, alongside a Grab n Go Café.

International Business Studies
General Program Information
The Bachelor's degree program in International Business Studies is a top-level modular degree program that equips students with the skills they need for a career in an international environment.
The content of the program guarantees that students acquire fundamental knowledge in business studies and knowledge of the conditions that affect international business. Furthermore, students learn practical methods and use different instruments for handling tasks in international management and gain intercultural skills that will enable them to succeed in the competitive global labor market.
Students must study abroad for part of the degree program. The program starts in the winter semester and usually lasts six semesters, during which students must acquire 180 ECTS credits. There are admission restrictions for the program and around 75 students are admitted each year.
This degree program is taught in German, therefore a good knowledge of German is an essential prerequisite to successfully completing the degree program. Proof of German language proficiency at a minimum of DSH 2 level, or the equivalent, is required for admission.
Course content
The Bachelor's degree program is divided into two parts. The first two semesters serve as an assessment phase, where students must complete compulsory courses. In the final four semesters, students may choose courses according to a specialization of their choice and interest, some of which are held in English.
Students can also acquire up to 60 ECTS credits during the compulsory stay abroad, which may be accredited on the basis of the learning agreement made with their subject supervisors. The university has over 100 partnership agreements with universities in over 40 countries on five continents. At the end of the degree program, students must complete a Bachelor's thesis.
Students develop a comprehensive set of internationally oriented skills through applying gained knowledge of the fundamental aspects of business and the conditions that affect it. Furthermore, they are taught the use of practical methods and instruments for handling tasks in international management. A semester abroad allows students to improve their intercultural abilities, while the use of special modules lends the opportunity to work on their own personal development. Additionally, students must develop an advanced proficiency of one foreign language, along with a more limited proficiency of a second foreign language.
Career opportunities
IBS graduates can work in numerous business fields such as in large industrial companies, international corporations and medium-sized businesses, which are increasingly seeking to recruit graduates with intercultural skills and international experience. They are also suitable for positions in banks and consultancy firms where their tasks may include working in international divisions or assisting management with internationalization, planning international market entry strategies, international accounting, international tax and finance planning, international marketing, or supporting international employees.

The Sisters Celebrate 128 years as Missionary Benedictines
The Daegu Priory was pleased to invite Oblates and benefactors for the Amhrein Courtyard Concert in honor of their 128th Anniversary of the foundation of the congregation. The concert took place on Sept. 24th with Vespers, supper and concert.
After a pleasant supper, Mother Lumen Choi delivered an opening speech with a recitation of one of the poems of their pioneer sister, Sr. Crysostoma Schmidt, who wrote several poems under hardship at Oksadoc Hard Labor Camp from 1949 to 1954. It was told that all her poems were written with a short pencil on the cigarette paper leftovers of the North Korean soldiers.
The program was followed by a performance of the music teachers, clarinetist Mr. Jeon JinTae, violinist Mrs. Kim JeonAe, classic guitarist Mr. Kim ByongHyon, cellist Miss Bae KyuHye and members of the community. There were also numbers such as harmonica played by Sr. Angela Shin, flute by novice Theresa Cho, a choral novitiate conducted by Sr. Hugo Kim, and a small orchestra composed of recorders.
Have a problem or question? How can we help or pray for you? Our Sisters are waiting to talk or hear from you! Please call (402)371-3438, email email@example.com or use the chat button on our website.

Jake is a go-getter and is extremely active in his community. He has a full schedule every day and downtime is definitely not in his vocabulary. A major priority for Jake continues to be building leadership skills.
This year, he was asked to continue his work with Youth Organizing! Disabled and Proud (YO!), a program for leadership opportunities, social networks and resources. He gets a monthly stipend to be an advocate and is often working with others in the organization to develop and present to groups and at conferences on topics such as disability culture, advocacy and social action. The current topic on the agenda is a campaign for anti-bullying.
His work with YO! has inspired Jake to create a group for youth with disabilities in his local San Jose community. He wants to focus on work that is closer to home and feels there is a need he can fill in his own community.
Jake lives on his own with the help of a supported living roommate. He loves where he lives, as it is close to public transportation options and there are shops and a grocery store within walking distance. Staying fit is a priority for Jake and he feels fortunate that his housing complex has a pool and gym. Other physical fitness activities that Jake participates in are track and field at his community college. This is a very exciting part of his day as he can be completely independent in 'running' the track using his power wheelchair.

Strawberry Freshman!
by Seppel
Everyone's dying to see Strawberry's card! So what skills does an excitable freshman have?
Believe it or not, she's gained experience fast in her freshman year, and she's damn proud of it. Unfortunately, she's prone to staying in her dorm and writing.
And while she's cooped herself up, there's people having sex out in the halls, and that just makes her want to try even harder to get in bed with everyone in the world.
So, how does that translate into a card?
Wow! Let's go through this card one point at a time!
gold mark
in the bottom right means Strawberry is a
rare card!
Green means common, white means uncommon, and blue means starter-only (found only in Starter Decks).
The number
and the
3 Female GP symbols
in the upper right is her cost -- 10 AP (Action Points) and 3 Female GP (Gender Points).
You get 10 AP and 0 GP per turn
(you need to play Haven cards to increase your AP and GP). So
you need to have 3 Forests
in the scene before you can play Strawberry:
Home Havens
are the basic resource cards in Furoticon, and they give you GP of a certain gender (Male, Female, Herm, and Otherkin). They all cost 4 AP to play. At the beginning of your turn, you lose any AP and GP that you had left over from your previous turn, so be sure to spend it if you can! Then you
back to 10 AP plus whatever your Havens give you.
But anyway, back to Strawberry! Let's pull her back up:
Her stats are on the left side of the card. The heart icon is her
, if it reaches 0, she orgasms and leaves the scene. 25 stamina is a
of stamina. Below that are her PEs (Pleasuring Experience). In bed, she gives 5 pleasure to any gender in the game, which is pretty good.
Now, let's get to the meat:
Her first skill:
"When an opponent swings, put a dream counter on Strawberry."
That's pretty straightforward. She gets a counter each time an opponent swings at you (tries to pleasure you) with Furres.
Her second skill:
"When Strawberry puts out, remove a dream counter from her."
This is straightforward, too. She loses a counter each time she puts out (defends you).
Her last skill:
"Strawberry gets +1 to all PEs for each dream counter on her."
Shows just how good she can get.
Simply put out with other Furres aside from Strawberry to raise her stats, then go on offense and swing at your opponent with Strawberry's high PEs!
Now, that sounds good as-is, but what if you're playing a team game? In a 2 vs. 2 game, you have two opponents, which means Strawberry will gain experience
twice as fast!
And if you're playing an 8-player free-for-all?
Oh my!
Did we mention that this set encourages multiplayer games? No? Then let me tell you now:
3rd Vanilla: Strawberry allows for some of the most fun and exciting multiplayer Furoticon games ever!
Let's see more multiplayer shenanigans!
What happens when Strawberry flirts with Marlii and wants some action immediately?
Impatient Performers
allows you to pick and choose who's your favorite by giving each player +1 or -1 stamina on your turn! Restore your teammates stamina and pleasure all your opponents! Make alliances in free-for-all games and turn on anyone who betrays you!
And this is just the beginning!
Strawberry preorders begin June 1st! Check Furoticon.com every day for new previews!

I like Strawberry, and Impatient performers, they are both new and they are certainly worth looking at adding to a deck.
on May 20th, 2013 @ 12:40 PM
Ohhh yeah, this is going to be a great pack :3 I love Marlii
on May 19th, 2013 @ 04:13 PM
Hey Strawberry! Check this out! *ORGASMIC REPOSE!*
on May 19th, 2013 @ 11:15 AM
Wooo! Wooo! YES! I like it, when two great things are getting combined, in this case, females with herms working together in one deck!
on May 19th, 2013 @ 11:12 AM
The sooner I can start playing this game the better, roll on Beta! ^_^
on May 19th, 2013 @ 10:52 AM
ohhh, I agree with bunnybunbun, they are now a much have ^^
on May 19th, 2013 @ 10:15 AM
O.O the more i see the more i need them....I CANT WAIT
on May 19th, 2013 @ 06:35 AM
@Lafitte: It's only one dream counter each time an opponent swings. It's not per Furre. :)
on May 19th, 2013 @ 01:35 AM
Wait, is that a dream counter each time an opponent swings, or a dream counter for each furre that swings at you? I assume the former because the latter would be ridiculous.
on May 19th, 2013 @ 12:43 AM
Loving the new set thus far. Can't wait for it's release.
on May 18th, 2013 @ 11:54 PM
i am soooo looking forward to this set
on May 18th, 2013 @ 08:41 PM
Impatient Performers is very interesting. I like the new strategy!
on May 18th, 2013 @ 07:32 PM
Both those cards are amazing cant wait to see more
on May 18th, 2013 @ 07:12 PM
Wow, strawberry is a very talented freshman. How did she ever get to be that skilled?
on May 18th, 2013 @ 06:46 PM
Getting impatient!!! Can't wait to work up a newdeck with these xcards!
on May 18th, 2013 @ 04:22 PM

Court won't get involved in patient advocate case
Breaking Legal News - POSTED: 2010/11/15 14:51
Breaking Legal News - POSTED: 2010/11/15 14:51
The Supreme Court will not stop subpoenas issued to an advocate for chronic pain patients who is under investigation for obstruction of justice.
Siobhan Reynolds and her organization, the Pain Relief Network, are being investigated because of her involvement with a doctor and wife who illegally prescribed painkillers to dozens of patients who later died.
The high court on Monday refused to hear an appeal from Reynolds.
Reynolds wanted justices to quash grand jury subpoenas and her contempt citation for not turning over subpoenaed e-mails and documents.
The court filings in Reynolds' case have been sealed.

Founded in 2006, Weebly allows users to create websites and online stores through a drag and drop interface on desktop and mobile. It claims to currently have more than 35 million users globally, of which 1.5 million users are from India.
Troy Malone, Vice President of International Operations at Weebly, told ETtech that India is already the fastest growth market for Weebly after its home market United States without any dedicated marketing or localization efforts.
While the company started off as website builder, e-commerce is becoming an increasingly more utilized and valuable part of its platform, Malone said, adding that around 30% of its users are now e-commerce users in just two years of launch and they currently have 165,000 products listed on Weebly e-commerce stores in India.
"There are 3 pillars to our business now - You have web presence, then email marketing and e-commerce transactions." Malone said.
The company is currently exploring setting up an India office, although it hasn't set any specific deadline on it. "I can definitely see us having an Indian office but timing is the question" Malone said.
The Y Combinator alum also intends to offer India-specific pricing along with enabling merchants setting up online stores on Weebly to accept payments through local payment modes like cash on delivery and mobile wallets like Paytm, with whom the company is currently in talks for payment integration.
Other localization plans include support for local languages and localized domain names, besides a local phone support team, which Malone says is critical for markets like India.
"It may be in-house or by partnering very tightly with another company" Malone said adding that they hope to achieve this by Q4 in order to do a broader rollout in the country.
Weebly which counts Sequoia Capital and Tencent as its investors, introduced an app center as part of its big product revamp in October last year. Malone said they currently have more than 150 apps on board and are now looking out for India-centric apps that can be added onto the platform.

Opéra Royal de Wallonie, Liège
Vincenzo Bellini
Bellini's most famous work experienced a chaotic process of creation, suffering from cabals and jealousy. Nonetheless, "Norma" has gained renown thanks to the extremely high quality of its music and the flourishing bel canto that makes its vocal momentums and melodies the most appealing but also the most difficult. Whilst the famous Casta diva, the opening aria of Norma, has alone become a symbol of Italian opera, the many cavatina and cabaletta sprinkled throughout the score demand a rare amount of power, vocal range, suppleness and agility from the characters, such virtuosity guaranteeing thrills and a deeply moving work! This new production by the Opéra Royal de Wallonie-Liège will be one of the most unmissable events of the season.

The one on the left is my best friend Meg, and I'm on the right.
I sketched out the kitties and then tailored them to each of us.
Meg is my sister from another mother, and before I moved out of state we decided to get similar tattoos. All because of what happened when we first moved into an Apt together.
I'd been wanting my own indoor kitty for forever. My dad never wanted an indoor cat, and claimed that i wouldn't take care of it if we had one. Having grown up with cats around me (I lived with Mom until she passed away, and the kitty I brought with me to Dad's didn't last long as an outdoor cat) I found his opinion to be rather funny. So of course, upon moving out and starting college, the first thing I wanted was a cat. We'd only planned on getting one, for me.
So we went to all the pet shops in town.
I had wanted a black and white, because of one I'd had before who had been my shoulder cat, and hadn't found one until the last shop we went to.
I asked the pet shop guy to pull her out for me, and while I was holding her, Meg asked to hold a little black one. Mirya (my kitty) was very skittish.
I looked at Meg and said "I Don't know, what do you think?"
She looked at me and said "You do whatever you want. This one's mine!"
And so we went home with two instead of one.
Sebastian has a small white fluff on his belly, and pumpkin colored eyes.
Mirya has the face mask and a few white splotches, and yellow-green eyes.
Meg wanted her stars a little different, so she has the crescent moon.
The stars themselves were freehanded by the tattoo artist.
We got them in Marquette, Mi, by Michelle.
Now even though we're 6 hours away if I'm feeling lonely I just have to catch a glimpse of my kitty (and often my real kitty) to remember my heart-sister.
Hers is on her right shoulderblade, mine is on my left upper arm.

The government needs to reconsider its policies and figure out the factors that have constrained growth in the agriculture sector in the last four years, a recently launched report on province's economy recommends.
In 2007-11, the average annual growth rate of agriculture sector in the province has been 2.5 per cent. The figure for rest of the country in this period is 2.7 per cent.
The report prepared by the Institute of Public Policy (IPP) at Beaconhouse National University says services has been the only sector in which the province has performed (slightly) better than rest of the country.
The average annual growth rate of services sector in the province was 5.1 per cent (over 2007-2011).
The figure for rest of the country is 5 per cent.
The report attributes poor performance in industry at least partially to electricity and gas shortages.
Overall, it says, the economic performance of the province during most of the current government's tenure (2007-11) has remained poor in comparison to the rest of the country as well as the province over the previous five-year term (2002-07).
The average annual growth rate in the Punjab has fallen by more than half – the growth rate for 2007-11 period is 2.5 per cent and for 2002-07 is 5.6 per cent.
The growth rate for 2007-11 (2.5 per cent) is about 25 per cent less than the figure for rest of the country – 3.4 per cent. The report says public investment in the province during this period has been inadequate. This, it says, is reflected in the fall in the overall standards of physical infrastructure.
The province's share in the national economy has declined to 54.9 per cent from 55.7 per cent share in year 2006-2007.
The per capita gross regional product (gross economic output of the province) for 2010-11 is estimated at $1,140. This, the report says, is two per cent lower than the average GRPs of other provinces for the year.
The report says slow economic growth in the province (in 2007-11) has been accompanied with a decline in its contribution to the federal revenue.

A food processor can be a blessing to have in a kitchen especially if you have a busy routine. It can make your work many times faster by chopping vegetables, kneading dough, shredding cheese, mincing meat, chopping nuts and much more in a matter of seconds. Once you use it for all these tedious chores you will understand why it is sometimes even called the workhorse of a kitchen. However, you can only expect it to perform all these tasks efficiently if you buy an excellent model. Picking the best food processor from around hundreds of models that are available out there is not as easy as you might think. There are many things which need to be kept in mind before you can make your pick. Here are some of the things you will need to consider before you can actually go ahead and choose a food processor for your kitchen:
1. Power:
One of the most important things which will determine the extent of tasks that it can perform is the power of the food processor. Make sure that the motor is strong enough to handle tough tasks like kneading dough, shredding a hard block of cheese and making nut butter. If you want your food processor to be able to perform all these tough tasks without heating up, you will need a motor wattage of at least 600 watts.
2. Capacity:
Food processors are available in a range of different sizes. You need to consider the quantity of food you usually prepare for your family before you can pick a suitable capacity. It is always wiser to pick a larger capacity than what you actually require so that even if you have to prepare greater number of servings than usual you will not have to process in batches. You can also choose models with multiple sizes of processing bowls available in the packing so that you can process any quantity of ingredients with ease.
3. Features:
Also consider some of the important features that are available with the machine. A wide feed chute is especially beneficial since you can pass whole fruits and vegetables through them without needing to cut them first. A pulse option is also quite handy to have since there are many tasks that require short bursts of power like chopping the ingredients coarsely or quick kneading. To know all features offered by a model, it is better to read food processor reviews before purchasing them.
4. Easy cleanup:
Touch buttons for controls and dishwasher safe parts make a food processor easier to clean than the other models. The touch pad can easily be wiped clean rather than reaching the nooks around the raised buttons.
5. Attachments:
Many attachments are available with the food processor so that it can perform a range of different tasks for you. Consider the food processors which come with accessories which are of use to you. Also check to see if these attachments can easily be attached and reattached. All the attachments should be dishwasher safe for easy cleanup.

Over 15,000 freaks assembled to board the Ozora Mothership. But it wasn't a smooth abduction. In fact, at the gate on Monday night, and well into the Tuesday morning, the event's first night, the freaks were freaking out. And for good reason, as we were set an outrageous endurance test. On that night, emptied out of our rides, we faced a failed ticket verification system and an avoidable crush lasting for over 12 hours. Avoidable, since organisers knew 5000 had bought tickets and should have implemented an appropriate entrance strategy (and back up plan). Instead, the gate held all the appearances of the entrance to a refugee camp. As a wide river of ticket-holders were funnelled through the eye of needle (one ticket stall!) they were confronted with nothing short of massive incompetence - of the kind that some event industries can apparently walk away with since, as cynical minds aver, the goodwill of participants is being exploited.
Many other types of event would have seen rioting. With thousands corralled in a structure resembling a livestock race, we were like sheep edging towards the slaughterhouse. It was especially dispiriting for those like myself and my fellow travellers who had journeyed great distances from other continents. With the prospect of standing in the queue for over ten hours, many, like myself, were forced to buy another ticket so they could avoid the trauma. The ordeals of gate entry at large psytrance festivals have grown onerous in the last years. It might be said that ordeals are implicit to a pilgrimage or similar type experience, but this is a commercial event and those who are taking the money owe to ticket holders a responsible and humane entrance strategy (all this said, the ticketing agency Access All Areas refunded my ticket, and Amin from AAA writes to me that Ozora are determined not to ever repeat this situation).
It's clear that the event line-up was Ozora's main dedication. And who can complain about that. It was quite simply spectacular, giving cause for many black sheep to develop amnesia over the entrance trauma, and graze in the field of dreams over seven days - shuffling out to Liquid Soul, Vibrasphere, Echotek, Son Kite, Tristan, Hallucinogen, and Blue Planet Corporation among a litany of young and old hands: from Etnica, Total Eclipse, to Hyper Frequencies to Neuromotor and Martin Freeland (aka Man with No Name), who demolished the main floor with his killer final set.

The main stage, which took the appearance of a thatched hut, was located in a ampitheatre-like cove formed by green hills on three sides with the steepest and tallest at the back of the stage. The surrounding hills around offered perspective on the dance floor for many splayed out under shade structures or dancing under water spurting from post-top sprinklers positioned on an edge of the field. Dia KL
Not open to camping, this sheltered arena was open to sheep shepherded by a donkey across the surrounding fields. The cove held a pagan-like appearance, with the circumference of the dance floor marked by a ring of giant dead trees "planted" in place. At the back of the dance floor there was a huge fire burning each night following the daily restocking. And on the summit overlooking the stage at the far end of the field there stood two wicker-like figures formed from trees and frozen in dance, a DNA spiral positioned between them. And on the heights to the left of field a cornfield was the context for a labyrinth.
Given that you had to negotiate Ozora's main thoroughfare, a thin valley trail lined with psy-fashion boutiques and instant freak merchants, arriving at the main floor was like locating the supermarket in a mega-plex, where the goal can only be achieved once you've passed hundreds of specialist shops and distractions. This aspect was also a little disturbing – the pressures of fashion and "things" becoming too much for those bereft of the hat and the horse. Perhaps it's due to the alternative pretentions of festivals like Ozora that such commoditising stands out for criticism. Many festival-goers have long sought the confines of these events as a safe harbour from the possessive power of commodities. Still, these were mostly small-scale traders and craft-sellers, and there was no advertising hoardings or brand campaigning on site. But it was most certainly worth one's while negotiating the last bend of the market alley, passing the chaishop and into Ozora cove, for you were broadsided by a superior audio-visual experience. The Ozora dance floor was a focal point unparalleled in many psytrance festivals where the energy is distributed across multiple stages. The only other key venue (besides a small cinema with sound system) was the Chill out tent, where the likes of Aes Dana, Chill in Berlin, Entheogenic, Vibrasphere and Ott performed in a noctilucent galaxy.
The Chill featured quality sound production and became the venue for the after party which continued right through to midday Monday, with a renegade system running in a tepee down the valley. But the main stage was an extraordinary venue with a dedication to the psychedelic progression. That is, progressive electro trajectories during many of the days accept the last when a distinct progressive psychedelia held the day, from Prometheus at 3am, through Protoculture and onwards through Digicult, Blue Planet Corporation to Shane Gobi and Man With No Name (among others).
This Footage screened on local TV gives you a good idea of what was going down at Ozora.
Totality Freaks and Shadow Dancing
Besides the gate fiasco, and the implicit problem with having one individual (namely the owner of the farmland at Ozora) capitalise on the experience, this was a memorable addition to a now ten-year tradition. The Solipse Festival, held on this site in 1999 with 20,000 people celebrating the total solar eclipse, was instrumental in the development of post-Goa trance culture (a compilation was released before that festival: Solipse - The Full Solar Eclipse Festival Compilation [1999]).
Etnica, who performed at that event, were called back for the 2009 anniversary along with many others who have played at Ozora over the years. Solipse 1999 was likely the most popular and formative event in psytrance at that time, cementing the association between psytrance and the total solar eclipse, the musical with the cosmic event. Though with different people participating in the event-organisation since the initial festival, each Ozora festival has carried the spirit of the initial experience, which for many participants holds a spiritual appeal. Other acts performing at Ozora 09, including Shpongle, Hallucinogen and Total Eclipse, have all had significant involvement with total solar eclipse event productions and performances. In this way, Ozora 09 was quite a retrospective, with Shpongle headlining in a live performance on Saturday night. With 12 performers on stage, it was a rare live performance from the act formed by Simon Posford and Raja Ram in the mid 1990s following their witnessing of a total solar eclipse in India in 1996 (an experience which gave life to their ethnodelic "…And the Day Turned to Night" (the closing epic on their debut Are You Shpongled?).
It's possibly the only time when you'll see people applauding the sky. The perfect yet brief marriage of the sun and moon. The spirit of totality birthing Ozora had been building for a few years prior to that event. By all accounts, the first "eclipse rave" was held near the coastal city of Arica at the edge of the Atacama desert, Chile, on November 2nd and 3rd 1994. Held in the immediate years of transition from Pinochet, that event was organised chiefly through a Chilean-German partnership, and was sponsored by outfitters Pash and filmed by MTV. The event featured Derrick May and for the first time in his homeland, Ricardo Villalobos.
Eclipse chasing has a long and interesting history that would inevitably merge with psychedelic culture. The experience of totality associated with a total eclipse of the sun, has historically been a cause for celebration and/or alarm, and interpreted according to local cosmological systems. Scientists have shown great interest in total solar eclipses since the eighteenth century but it was in 1836 that solar physicist Francis Bailey had founded the industry of eclipse chasing at the same time as generating fervor for solar physics. From that period populations were known to travel from locations outside the line of totality to view the spectacle, with multinational scientific expeditions mounted over the next century. Eclipse chasing would eventually become a recreational pursuit with the interventions of the Pedas-Sigler family of educators who, from the early 1970s, initiated eclipse tourism on board cruise ships. These entrepreneurs had, in fact, attempted to stage a rock festival ("Eclipse '70" in March 1970), in the line of the moon's shadow in 1970 in a tiny fishing village in Suffolk, Virginia, called Eclipse (so named after a total eclipse there in 1900). But the proposed event was opposed by the townsfolk who condemned the potential "freak-out" on their turf only months after Woodstock. This might have been the greatest party that never happened. However, instead, on July 10 1972 they undertook their "Voyage to Darkness" cruise off the north Atlantic coast of Canada. Mixing science with sociality, it was beginning of a great adventure - they've been holding eclipse cruises ever since.
These eclipse tours demonstrated that it was not only subscribers to Sky and Telescope that were gravitating to remote regions where shadow bands race across the Earth. Since the early 1970s, the 100 mile wide shadow has drawn many into its path. Later maven of integrative medicine, Andrew Weil exemplified the psychonaut drawn to the marriage of the sun and the moon, the HierosGamos from which he would draw considerable psychocultural significance, as explained in his Marriage of the Sun and Moon: A Quest for Unity in Consciousness (Houghton Mifflin 1980: 222) where he describes his experience of an eclipse in Miahuatlán, Oaxaca, Mexico, in March 1970. But, with the failure of Ted Pedas to draw the eclipse into the orbit of the counterculture in that same year, and having aborted the dance music eclipse festival idea for lunar liner cruises, with the aid of cheaper travel, electronic music technologies and the Internet, it would take another 25-30 years for the dance music festal eclipse event to materialise.
By the late 1990s, as a cavalcade of spiritualists, astrologers and psychedelic big-game hunters found themselves in the playing fields of the HierosGamos, scientists and hippies found themselves proximate to one another in social spatio-temporal scenarios (ie parties) planned according to the alignment of celestial spheres at sites anticipated as optimum observation points on the line of totality. Curiously scientists and hippies would share a moniker – "freaks", referencing the collision of travel, adventure and curiosity in a shared cosmic experience. But it would be the psytrance orientated festivals where, despite the growing presence of those determined to record the experience using photographic equipment, which accommodates those who implicitly recognise that a total solar eclipse is not merely a "cosmic event" to observe remotely, but a wild social experience in which one was immersed totally. Like a dozen turns of the New Year celebrated simultaneoulsy, the alignments would affect a licentious atmosphere among the crowds gathering in the totality.
So, as cosmic cowboys, prophets and prospectors joined the hunt, a whole new social event came into being as a highly specialised traveller phenomenon. Following the Eclipse Rave in Chile, Solar Eclipse Festivals subsequently attracted travellers to events in Siberia, Venezuela/Columbia, and South Asia in the late 1990s. There was another Solipse festival in June 2001 in South Africa and in early December 2002 there were festivals mounted on the path of totality near Lindhurst, South Australia (Outback Eclipse) and in South Africa. By that time, these events had accumulated a large following which was observed in 2006 at Soulclipse in Southern Turkey. Recently there have been smaller events in Siberia and Japan with another significant festal-cosmic event juncture planned for Easter Island in July 2010 with the Honu Eclipse and then beyond that, near Cairns, Australia, in November 2012.
House of Diversity
In his memoirs, the research scientist Francis Bailey wrote of his total eclipse experience in 1842 setting up his telescope inside a building at the university in Pavia Italy: "All I wanted was to be left alone during the whole time of the eclipse, being fully persuaded that nothing is so injurious to the making of accurate observations as the intrusion of unnecessary company" (in Weil p.60). Bailey was expressing a concern, common to the singular research scientist, yet remote from the experience of the eclipse festival, for while other humans may disrupt scientific measurements, in the immeasurable landscape of the vibe "company" is critical. And not just your close friends or family, but those others who have also journeyed from far and wide to celebrate the event. And it was this spirit of adventure and diversity - this cosmic vibe - that has carried through to the Ozora of the present, with participants arriving from a multitude of countries, and with the dance floor populated by those speaking many languages – sharing in the experience.
And let us not forget where this event, one of the premiere events in contemporary psytrance, is located: in space and time. Just prior to heading to Ozora I found myself attempting to recover from jetlag in Budapest, with the assistance of Botond Vitos, a local researcher of psytrance who graciously hosted me at his apartment a couple of streets from the Danube. On the day before heading to Ozora I found myself wandering around the House of Terror (Terror Háza).
More specifically, I found myself standing inside a room in a cellar of the building by this name, where hundreds of people had been murdered at the end of rope on a crude gallows. That device was itself the product of a crude system belonging to the Fascist and Communist regimes who cast their long shadow over Hungary post WWII. Special attention is devoted to the Hungarian Communist regime, one of the harshest dictatorships in Europe. The building is a haunting reminder of the dark manifestation. Both the Nazis and Communists established it as a háza of execution, an infamous house of horrors which operated until 1956, and re-opened in 2002 as a grizzly museum, a memorial to its many victims, and a reminder of the dark potentiality of humankind. One of the macabre aspects of the House of Terror is that it's situated on Andrássy Boulevard, one of Budapest's main thoroughfares. Indeed you could walk inside the building and choke back on your double cheeseburger as you tour the basement where many hundreds of prominent and relatively unknown Hungarians (some political enemies, others in the wrong place at the wrong time) met unspeakable suffering, endured brutal interrogations and were led, if they survived these tortures, to a cold, miserable, end.
A decade after the end of Communism, two hours away, thousands of totality freaks were dancing in the shadow of the moon. It was a new kind of totality, the spirit of which was the polar opposite, if you will, to the tyranny of totalitarianism that had stifled life in the region following WWII. Ten years downstream from that event, I landed in the field of dreams. And, awash in a sound bath of languages – e.g. Hungarian, German, Russian, Italian, Swedish, Hebrew, Ukranian, French, Japanese, etc (and of course English of varying inflections) – I was reminded how psychedelic trance is a transnational home to diversity and is a symbol of hope.

Accelerate Agility with an Agile Coach
Coaching is the act of helping people achieve their desired outcomes by sharing expertise. In sports, coaches run the practices, model exercises, and have a playbook of winning plays. They get into their players' heads and give that extra push towards peak performance.
True business agility isn't easy. Many organizations attempt implementation on their own and either don't finish because leadership abandons the initiative or just give up because change is too hard. Those that continue often modify processes without understanding the intent, implementing bad habits which prevent them from realizing the full benefits of Agile. Enter Agile coaching.
Our Agile Coaches use their experience applying Agile to help teams and organizations improve processes, culture, and practices.

Sound IT Solutions provides solid, in-shop, on-site, and remote PC solutions including consulting, training, and hardware/software repair. Whether there is an issue with hardware, software, or anything in-between you can rest assured that troubleshooting, diagnosis, and repair will be handled professionally, courteously, and with a personal touch that is hard to find in the IT field!
Established in 2006.
Sound IT Solutions started as a small, on-the side service, mostly doing PC repairs for friends and family in their homes. Charlie quickly realized that there was huge potential for the right kind of PC repair company so he got a business license and started advertising. At first the original name was 'Bell Computers of Federal Way' and was located in South King County.
In early 2009 he relocated to Lynnwood, WA and the name was officially changed to 'Charlie's PC Repair'.
In 2011 he moved to Edmonds, WA (in the 98026 zip code part).
In 2012 he moved into the Edmonds "bowl" downtown.
In 2015 we leased a larger space at 610 Main St. in Edmonds and converted to an LLC taking on the "CareTech, LLC" name.
Although there have been changes over all this time, the constant has been simple: Provide a fair, high-quality service to every customer. Treat them well and the business will grow.
I have always been very involved in working with and learning about computers as well as the intricacies of running a premier computer service business. Over time, I continued honing my troubleshooting and repair skills and branching out into programming and web-design. I have managed technical support and PC repair departments for several prominent custom computer manufacturers and always try to keep my finger on the pulse of the technology world. On top of that, I have always had a passion for helping people. I believe that integrity and honesty is the surest route to success and I love a good challenge. Show me your broken computer and let's fix stuff!
I started working on computers in the early 2000s when I would travel with my self employed father, who would fix customer's computers from all around the state. On top of the experience I gained fixing other people's computers, I also had one of my own that I was able to mess around with to my heart's content. I had a lot of fun taking the things apart and putting them back together, and I'm thrilled to be able to do that for a living. When you bring your computer here, your machine is being looked after by a bunch of guys who have real passion for what they do.

Across the country 28 pubs shut every week - let's prevent the Seven Stars from being another victim.
Earlier this year I was delighted to receive a 'Beer Champion' award after working with campaigners, pubs and brewers on successful campaigns to safeguard the future of local brewing. That's helped secure measures the like beer duty cut which will help keep pubs open, protect jobs and keep the price of a pint down.
But I know that pubs are more than a successful local industry, they're community assets too. That's why I'm backing campaigners who want to stop the Seven Stars on Gospel End Road from being turned into a supermarket.
Campaigners say that the pub is popular, turns a profit and is at the heart of the local community. Their petition has already got over 2,000 names, so it's clear that no one wants to see the pub disappear.
I'm very concerned about the loss of a popular and well-run local pub. There are also worries about the loss of parking spaces for the school, traffic turning into a shop on what is a busy road and the impact that a new supermarket would have on businesses in Sedgley town centre.
I want to do everything I can to help: I've already written to Marston's and to Morrisons urging them to come and listen to local people, I've urged the council to investigate whether they can prevent it being used for a supermarket and I want them to make the pub an 'Asset of Community Value' to provide further protection.
In the long run I want the government to change the planning rules so pubs can't be sold off or demolished without planning permission. That way residents will always get a say on what happens to their local.
I want as many people in the area to support this campaign as possible. 28 pubs are shutting across the country every week. Let's prevent the Seven Stars being another one.
When me or a member of my family is ill, we queue up at Russells Hall like anybody else in Dudley, so I'm really concerned about what is happening at hospitals up and down the country.
It has recently been revealed that the target for patients to start their cancer treatment within two months has now been missed for six months running. Here in Dudley there have been reports of patients waiting five hours to receive chemotherapy at Russells Hall.
The Government has also missed its A&E waiting time targets for 57 weeks in a row, with Russells Hall facing an investigation over its own waiting times.
Now Russells Hall bosses are saying that the hospital's finances are "critical" and jobs are at risk as they tackle a deficit of £12 million.
It's absolutely clear that the NHS is not safe in David Cameron's hands.
Doctors, nurses and other staff are working flat out at Russells Hall but the Tories have squandered £3 billion on reorganising the NHS instead of supporting front-line staff.
I've been talking to local people about this and the overwhelming majority share my concerns, so I'll continue to raise this issue in Parliament.
In the last week lots of local people have been in touch about the Government's disastrous Bedroom Tax.
Not only is it forcing many vulnerable people out of their homes, but here in Dudley rent arrears are rocketing as a direct result of the policy. Recent reports say that 5,435 families in Dudley have now been pushed into arrears costing the Council £1.4 million in lost rent.
Making larger homes available for overcrowded families is a good thing, but the truth is that there just aren't enough smaller homes for the families affected. In Dudley there are more than 2,000 people waiting for a one-bedroom property.
I've been calling on the Government to drop the Bedroom Tax right from the start, and I'm pleased that Labour have now promised to scrap the policy if elected.
Last week I had the opportunity to meet Keith Millinson and Anne Thomas, the grandchildren of Dudley free school meals pioneer Henry Millinson.
Henry grew up on Birmingham Road in Dudley and left St. Edmund's School aged 11 to work in a chain shop as a beer carrier. After taking further work in local foundries and the railway he was elected to Dudley Council in 1932.
In 1933 he started a radical campaign for poor children to be provided with free school meals. After two years his campaign finally paid off, and Dudley Council finally introduced a free school meals scheme.
I remember the hot meals I had as a young child at St Edmunds and Russells Hall, and it's thanks to Henry that poor children in Dudley were first able to get a square meal to help them concentrate, learn and make a good start in life.

"I'm running for president." Four words, seven syllables, a long time coming. With this announcement, Hillary Clinton has entered the ring as a democratic candidate for the 2016 Presidential election. The announcement came through a video released through Clinton's Twitter and features men, women, and children discussing their ideas for the future. "Americans have fought their way back from tough economic times, but the deck is still stacked in favor of those at the top. Everyday Americans need a champion, and I want to be that champion so you can do more than just get by. You can get ahead and stay ahead. Because when families are strong, America is strong," said Clinton. Clinton was President Obama's Secretary of State during his first term in office. She ran for election in 2008 but suspended her own election, urging voters to support President Obama instead. Polls have shown that Clinton is starting her run with a strong lead against her prospective Democratic party opponents.

Datenight with my two favorite boys
"Love You Like A Love Song"
When we heard Selena Gomez & The Scene were coming to San Diego, we knew we had to go! We immediately talked to our people (aka Daddy) and he talked to his people. He came home and surprised the boys (and me) with tickets! Not only were we going to the concert, we had box seats!! The boys have been spoiled with box seats since we went to the circus. It was also going to be Kameron's FIRST "real" concert, it was Konnor's fifth! All Star Weekend was the opener, and since Konnor liked them too we knew it would be a great show!
|Waiting in line to get in
We had four tickets and invited our friend to come along. She was a big Selena Gomez fan and was so excited. The day of the concert the boys were excited. They had counted down to Friday all week long. Being that San Diego just had the huge city wide power outage they were concerned we wouldn't be able to attend the concert. First thing in the morning on Friday I called Valley View Casino Center to check if the concert was going as planned. It sure was! I told the boys it was still going on and they were extra excited. They started working on their signs and even napped so they'd have all their energy for the concert.
We had great seats. The same box seats we had for the circus. The boys loved having "service" while we were seated. Ok, they are spoiled. They watched the concert with excitement and in awe.
We of course got the cheesy photo they offered for FREE too.
Check out the rest of our photos on Facebook.

Spring is a time when one day is rarely like the last. The weather is changeable and so are my activities. Some days are spent mostly indoors while others are so nice it is a crime to stay inside. These pictures reflect that variety. If there is a common theme, it is dissimilarity.
I suppose any collection would be incomplete without a selfie. This one was taken right before I started getting ready for bed. I had forgotten to take a picture, so this was my default. Day 14
Day 15. The flowering plums are among the earliest bloomers each spring.
Day 16. I spotted this truck in my neighbor's driveway…a truck, a motorcycle and a saddle.
All popular means of transportation in the West.
Day 17 This is a new trail where there really shouldn't be one. People have been cutting a switchback and this is the result. The next time we have a male rain this trail will erode badly.
Day 18. I took pictures but I'm not going to post them. They are of my insurance card, my Docubank card and my list of medications. I carry all in my wallet, but I rarely take my wallet for my walks. I do take my phone. I thought it would be a good idea to have them with me, so I took their pictures with my phone. They will be accessible if I am conscious.
Day 19

Nonhlakanipho is 15 years old and in 10th grade. She is the third oldest of four children. She is quite small for her age and very quiet but she holds herself confidently. Her mother abandoned the family after the last child was born. We first met Nonhlakanipho in 2011 when she and her family were brought to our attention as being very needy. At that time we provided school uniforms for the three primary students and got Nonhlakanipho and her younger sister medical care.
Nonhlakanipho is a very good student just like her older brother. She received a merit pass on her end of the year test in 7th grade. So far in high school she has continued to do well She is "happy and cheerful" to be going to high school and wants to study hard so she can have a bright future. Her ultimate dream is to be a Doctor one day. I do believe this young lady could do it!

Who is managing the value?
"Even though the people we manage are quite busy, the workflow itself is starting and stopping and starting and stopping."
Alan Shalloway has a great, no nonsense way of communicating. This 7 minute video show why so many organizations have a disconnect between the work they are doing and the things that improve the quality and timeliness of their delivery. I'd love to hear your thoughts… does Al's message ring true in your world? I know it sure does in mine! 🙂
