Go behind the scenes with our anonymous blogger to find out why anyone would want to run a small venue when pills are so much quicker and rope so inexpensive....This month, he tackles audiences and critics.
The worst and the best thing about going to, being in or reviewing the OffWestEnd can often be the audience.
Having a lot of friends either working in, running or producing work in small spaces all over London, I receive at least one text a week asking me to drum up some support for a specified performance because a critic is coming. This blind panic that so regularly infects even the most stable and stolid fringe production is well justified. After all, once, the set has been skipped (or abandoned on a mini-roundabout close to your venue) and the costumes have been torn up for scrap (or more likely made their way into your regular wardrobe rotation), all you have left are the reviews.
For me there is a slight morbid curiosity to all of this as I, for about a year, was a reviews manager for an increasingly popular website that covers the majority of Fringe and OffWestEnd openings. And, let me tell you, it was a varied experience. In that year I saw just shy of 350 productions – not a quantity I'd recommend – and the notable experiences I had seemed to fall into the same 4 categories. I was wondering if they'd been the same for any other OffWestEnd reviewer?
1.The Lone Critic
It would not be an exaggeration to say that for about a third of all productions I attended, that weren't on a designated Press Night, I was alone in the audience with only a programme, an orange squash and an usher for company.
This is an incredibly awkward situation.
Although not in the way you might imagine.
As soon as the critic is alone in the audience the pressure shifts for the actors, who outnumber you substantially, to your own singular performance. For a serious play this is quite easy: sit still, don't crunch the ice in your drink, don't fall asleep and leave quickly at the end.
The trick comes when the piece is designed to function with some sort of audience reaction. Laughter being the most cruel. Does laughing help the performers? Would a single laugh amongst 50 empty seats act as encouragement or just a constant reminder that there's only one person out there in the dark.
On one occasion a cast of about eight actors took to the stage and it appeared that the venue or producer had not informed them they'd be playing to a single ticket holder. Slowly, one by one, I could see them notice that nobody, bar me, was watching. At the interval I was told by the duty manager, rather gruffly, that the second half would not be going ahead. I had obviously failed.
However awful it can be to think about being the only person in a 'crowd' at least there is a silent dignity to it. Nothing is worse than…
2. Being amongst friends
I can see how this happens. In the West End where producers have thousands of seats to fill of course they invite lots of friends and family to fill out the evening so as to have at least some of the audience willing the show along.
However, in a 40 seater venue it is totally possible to go and review something and be entirely surrounded by very vocal friends of the cast and production.
At one show I went to review, towards the end of my tenure, I arrived in the theatre bar to find that everyone queuing at the box office was wearing florescent pink t-shirts with the show logo on. As we all took our seats I felt like I'd stumbled into a mixture of a religious cult gathering and a hen night. Their reaction to the show was bewildering. Most of the audience laughed througout, often way before any punch line and most of the time at the first arrival on stage of each actor. One actor, inexplicably, got a round of applause on his first entrance. I checked the programme to see if he might be famous – turns out he'd yet to even graduate from Sixth Form.
3. The cheats
A short description but worth a mention.
As a reviewer, the reason I stopped taking notes is that it seemed increasingly hard to write things down without distracting the people around me and enticing them to try and see what I'd been scribbling as if we were sitting a communal exam and they were trying to read my answer sheet.
In fact, I noticed a direct correlation between the more secretive and discreet I tried to be in taking notes, the more interested and curious those sitting around me became. Better this, though, than the fate of the critic who fell asleep during Cause Celebre in the same row as James McAvoy who was proudly watching his wife on stage until he became more than interested in the lack of scribbling at the end of the row.
4.The first timers
The last, and by all means best, audiences are the first timers. There are a lot of these on the small scale and they can be a reminder of why doing work on our intimate level can be so incredibly rewarding.
Either used to television or the huge aircraft hanger stages of the West End, a lot of audiences who travel to see their friends perform on the Fringe have never experienced acting or storytelling so up close and personal before.
Everything that is great about OffWestEnd hits them: the sense of danger through the proximity to the action, the rawness and urgency of the storytelling, the communal sense of all being in one room, sharing the same hot air, watching the actors telling stories just for us.
The comment I've heard most often from first timers is that "I didn't know it could be like that".
This sort of electrified enthusiasm is infectious and, for those of us who learnt however long ago that it could indeed be like that, it often takes someone seeing it for the first time to help us remember.

Research & Current Projects
I am a quantitative ecologist, and my overarching research goal entails the use of theory-driven, fundamental science to better inform decision-making processes and ecosystem management in an ever-changing world. I am passionate about making better use of mathematical, statistical and computational tools to integrate metabolic ecology and life-history theory, and unify evolutionary ecology across scales. I test theoretical questions with a combination of experiments, field data collection, and data mining.
Transparent and reproducible open science are at the core of my daily working routine, and I mostly use the R programming environment to code my projects. I am a programming instructor trained by "The Carpentries" (i.e. Software Carpentry Foundation and Data Carpentry), and as such I organise my data, and maintain my projects under version control following standard practice.
Linking biological levels of organisation through energetics.
Developing statistical tools to understand the metabolic rates of marine invertebrates.
Reef fish macroecology and evolution
Nestedness in biological networks
Scaling fish energetics from individuals to ecosystems (Talk given @ JCU, May 2015)

Supply Chain Tech Show in Mexico City Pleases Attendees and Exhibitors
The Supply Chain Technology Conference & Expo - SCTECH – took place on June 27- 29. The event supported by ISCEA –International Supply Chain Education Alliance- is an itinerant show. SCTECH was held last year in Chicago, moved this year to Mexico City and will go to Mumbai next year, in line with ISCEA's mission statement of "Providing supply chain knowledge around the world".
SCTECH 2017 featured international speakers with different backgrounds from Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States, Argentina and Mexico. And although this is a technology show, the conference program focused mainly on supply chain processes and true end-user stories. As we learned from Jorge Morales, ISCEA Latin America's CEO and SCTECH 2017 Program Chair, "Speakers were encouraged to explain their processes transformation needs first, and then share their experience about the use of technology to support the transformed processes."
The event was a great success; decision making participants came from all over Latin America to attend the conference and listen to fresh ideas on how to improve their supply chain processes. They also visited the exhibition floor where they were able to find top tier technology vendors like SAP (the event's Gold Sponsor), PTV Group, Ingenics, Scanmex, Demand Solutions, BSI Group, (Silver Sponsors) and many more on a 144,000 square-foot exhibit floor. Matthias Hormuth, Director Solution Management Logistics, PTV Group, shared with us his opinion about SCTECH 2017: "I am extremely positively surprised about the event. The amount of exhibitors is great, to be honest. When we stepped in this morning I said: This is the place where we have to be. And also the quality and the topics of the conferences, they are great!"
Participants, who were mostly top management executives, were able to network during breaks and do their own benchmark research with other participants from top tier companies. The interaction among supply chain process owners resulted in many multidisciplinary discussions throughout the event. Eduardo Acho, Project Coordinator at Becton Dickinson Mexico pointed out: "We are all trying to improve the way we work, and at these events you can find that idea or tool that can help you make that change you have been needing for so long." Mr. Acho participated on the GS1 eCommerce Standards panel that occupied a conference slot in SCTECH's conference program. Other companies that participated on the panel were FRESCO, Tequila Patron and Herdez, who recently acquired Nestle's ice cream operation in Mexico.
We asked the first Keynote Speaker- Dr. Sebastian Garcia-Dastugue, Professor at Sam M. Walton College of Business, about the organization behind SCTECH- ISCEA: "I am impressed with the reach that ISCEA has. The fact that SCTECH conference goes around the world is an invaluable asset. It's a very interesting conference and I was glad to be able to present here."
ISCEA certifies Supply Chain Professionals around the world and partners with Universities and Authorized Knowledge Providers to develop them from trainee to top management positions. One of ISCEA's activities designed for Young Supply Chain Professionals is the Global Supply Chain Case Competition. This year's winners Tanmay Ajmera and Kaushik Agate, students of NMIMS Mumbai, came all the way from India to receive their award. "We had to present the solution for our case competing with 5 teams from India, made it to the Asia finals, and then we had to present at the global event to win." The award ceremony took place at SCTECH 2017.
Summarizing, SCTECH –Supply Chain Technology Conference & Expo- is not a technology event where only technology professionals meet. It is an event where Supply Chain process owners and decision makers meet, to explore process improvement opportunities and the technologies that support them. If you are looking to take your supply chain processes to the next level through technology, SCTECH is the event where you have to be. SCTECH 2018 will take place at Bombay Exhibition Centre, Mumbai, India on February 22-24. For more information please visit http://www.sctechshow.com/

That was quick!
Less than two weeks after confirming his exit from Saturday Night Live, Andy Samberg has already landed another gig. The 33-year-old actor will star in the six-part comedy series Cuckoo on BBC Three, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Cuckoo stars Greg Davies and Helen Baxendale as the parents of a young woman (Tamla Kari) who, after travelling abroad, returns home married to a slacker and self-appointed spiritual ninja (Samberg).
Andy Samberg confirms Saturday Night Live departure
"The best of British meets the toast of Hollywood," executive producer Ash Atalla said in a statement. "We hope Cuckoo cements the special relationship between our two great countries. I imagine [Barack] Obama and [British Prime Minister David] Cameron will be watching closely."
The series will be filmed this summer and is slated to air later this year.
Samberg recently confirmed his exit from SNL after seven seasons as a regular cast member. Samberg, who popularized Digital Shorts like "Lazy Sunday," "D--- in a Box" and "I'm on a Boat," will next be seen alongside fellow SNL vet Adam Sandler in That's My Boy, out June 15.

Hello everyone! I just thought the other day that I've not really caught up with you guys and updated you on what's going on. I think this post is very overdue! I've been needing just to sit down with my coffee and have a little chit chat with you. I'm currently working on a bit of a revamp. I feel like I've been struggling balancing school and my blog quite a lot recently and my blog is being put behind everything else. It's meant to be fun and a stress reliever for me not stress bringing.
The other day I took a lot of "Autumny" pictures/flatlays in hope to improve my instagram theme. Let me know what you think as I'd love to hear your thoughts on it! Christmas is slowly approaching and I was considering doing "Blogmas". If you don't know what Blogmas is, it's when you post a blogpost for every day of December up until Christmas. I'd love to do it but I'll need some post ideas so again let me know what you want to see! In terms of my blog at the moment it's kind of drifting off into something I'm not even sure. I really want it to be more me and have things I love and want to share etc. I'm going to be sharing a lot more of my artwork on my blog and also do some more baking posts after popular demand.
I don't want to sound too soppy but I'm so grateful for each and every one of you that has taken the time to follow my blog, read my posts etc. Things have been quite hectic recently and I haven't really said thank you for all the support I've been shown throughout my blogging journey. I love our little community. I'm feeling super inspired in the blog world right now but with school I have pretty much near to no time to do all the things I want to do which is so frustrating.
Sorry for quite a short post but I need to get started on blogmas! I hope you guys enjoyed this post and please let me know what posts you'd like to see more of.
Thanks for reading,
Marissa xo

Save it for a Rainy Day — There's a reason Humboldt County has such a lush, verdant landscape: It rains a lot. Our rains have quenched the thirst of pre-historic forests and rivers, shaping the natural beauty of the North Coast. We kind of love it. Really. When the rains return after a dry spell, you'll hear locals sigh with relief and say how they missed the rain. Most don't even use an umbrella, satisfied to pull up a hood against the drops.
Winter storms mean action on the ocean, too, and there's no better place to watch white caps and rolling waves than Shelter Cove. In this issue, we'll take a trip to Southern Humboldt to gaze at the rugged coastline from the comfort of the cozy Inn of the Lost Coast. You'll get a taste of what's on tap in the Cove with a hearty meal and craft beer at its first brewery, Gyppo Ale Mill, which has already built a strong following. There's an unexpected sampling of sunny Venezuelan flavors — mini empanadas, anyone? — from newcomer restaurant Mi Mochima, too.
Perfect Trips will take you up and down the county for puddles to splash (for you and the kids), museums to poke around in, hot waffles to warm up with and dozens of other wet weather delights. In fact, a little drizzle make the awe-inspiring Fern Canyon hike (you're going to get wet anyway), an outdoor hot tub soak or watching elk from your car even more magical.
Of course, if you're looking for something with a little more adrenaline, we suggest a Humboldt Roller Derby bout. Grab a beer and a hot dog, and we'll take you around the track with the toughest Humboltians on eight wheels. Speaking of interesting women, this issue features a profile of Native artist/curator/drag king and all-around source of fascination and admiration, Brittany Britton.
Back home, someone is bound to ask if you tried any Humboldt cannabis. If you're so inclined, we'll show you to a couple of independent dispensaries that will hook you up with the right stuff, grown right here in the Humboldt sunshine (and rain). We'll let you in on the story behind our local Korean beer (yup, you read that right), The Booth, and point you toward its cans and taps around the county. No tasting room yet but we'll keep you posted.
The Browsing section continues with a tour of curiosities — from the elegant to the eerie — at Many Hands Gallery and Vintage Avenger, where the line between art and fashion is as fuzzy as a disco-era velour jumpsuit.
Bring your umbrella. Or don't.
— Jennifer Fumiko Cahill

|Kill them! Kill them all!
|~ Alma ordering Fettel to kill all the humans.
Alma Wade is the main antagonist of the F.E.A.R. series. She is a powerful spirit who seeks revenge against humanity, due to their usage of her in a series of experiments and secret projects with the aim of making her powers financially viable.
She was voiced by Melissa Roberts in F.E.A.R., and by Alésia Glidewell in F.E.A.R. 2 and F.E.A.R. 3.
After being subjected to years of cruel experimentation by Armacham Technology Corporation during Project Origin she sought violent revenge against the organization using her many supernatural powers. She usually appears in child form and later when released, her true body is a young decimated woman. She later appears in a young healthy adult form in F.E.A.R. 2 after being attracted to protagonist Michael Becket, who she rapes, resulting in her to become pregnant.
In F.E.A.R. 3, she does not attack you because she is pregnant with a baby (implied to be a girl) she concieved with Michael Becket and to avoid the Creep (who is the manifestation of Harlen Wade). In Point Man and Fettel's endings, she gives birth to the baby and both of them wanted to father him/her, and in Point Man's ending, she disappears while in Fettel's ending she was eaten/absorbed by Fettel possessing Point Man's body.
She seemed to be a helper in the F.E.A.R. expansions Extraction Point and Perseus Mandate. Rather than attacking the player, she assists them.
- Alma is named after the character Alma Mobley in Peter Straub's novel Ghost Story.
- "Alma" is a word in the Latin languages Spanish and Portuguese that literally means "soul" — an appropriate name, given her character.
- Alma Wade visits a hospital in Chicago to deliver the born child.
- Alma is referenced in the 2012 horror film, The Cabin in the Woods. In the film, a girl in a white dress is seen liquefying a security guard while singing "Hush Little Baby". The scene is an exact mirror of Alma's attack on the guards in F.E.A.R..
- Alma most likely had blue eyes in life, given that both of her sons, her father, and her sister all have blue eyes.
- WatchMojo.com listed Alma Wade as #3 on their Top 10 "Female Video Game Villains" list.

A word I just made up to describe the feeling you get when you discover a previously unknown, informative portion of the internet that you know will delight you for some time to come.
Month: September 2014
Libertador/The Liberator Film Review
The Liberator — insipid, banal, morally dubious Simon Bolivar biopic directed by a dude named Alberto Arvelo. The ghost of Hugo Chavez is strong in this film. Controversy and uncertainty are injected into areas that have strong historical consensus (The film suggests that Simon Bolivar was assassinated in a conspiracy by those close to him and suggests Bolivar's tuberculosis was a rumor spread by his enemies to create a convenient excuse for his death. Quite a few folks who were loyal to his end corroborate the account of him dying from tuberculosis on a deathbed. If he was assassinated, it was by a poison, and repeated exhumations of his body for analysis have not been able to find suspicious elements.) and moral gray areas have been whitewashed (The legacy of Francisco Miranda is done a great disservice in this film to boost that of Simon Bolivar. Indeed, a strong case can be made that Bolivar was the traitor in the real life situation.)
The definition of boring and wishy-washy direction of acting, pacing, editing, other pillars of the cinematic arts. Bolivar delivers one Rousing, Inspiring Speech About Freedom and Liberty after another, though his dialog in the film somehow sounds dumber, less piercing, less lucid than Bolivar's left behind writings read. Scenes showing Bolivar's hot bloodedness are followed by scenes where I think we the audience are supposed to feel that he is facing an interior challenge. Bolivar resolves these challenges by first assuming a blank expression, then breaking said expression by furrowing his eyebrows and then delivering a one liner. Other characters either describe how much he is like/how much better he is than Thomas Jefferson and George Washington, talk about how wonderful the weather is in South America compared to the rest of the world, or sneer and connive against his idealism. The terrible lighting and VFX are the over-sugared icing on the bland tasting cake.
The remarkable presence of Edgar Ramirez (you can see an effective deployment of him in Carlos) is wasted in this film. This is a funny thing to say, but his passion and fiery anger looks phoned in. Bad casting — Edgar Ramirez is not a slight, dainty, bony man, which Bolivar's portraits, his friends' accounts of him suggest him to be. Edgar is a full-bodied, powerful porkchop. A better person IMO would have been Gael Garcia Bernal, though changing the actor would not have fit the direction.
The film felt like a bad combination/imitation of Oliver Stone and Spielberg. It is a mediocre film rendered unforgivable by how it treats Bolivar's death.
We Are All Made of Each Other
You know that clichéd line that astronomy/cosmology university lecturers use in their introductory classes not intended for physics students — "we are all made of star stuff" or "we are all made of the stars" (among other variations)?
Used a lot, but for me, it has not dulled in its ability to evoke a beautiful mental image.
So as I was driving today I suddenly thought, not only are we made of "star stuff" H,O,C,N , we are also made of each other, previous and current iterations, through the legacies of the carbon and nitrogen cycles.

The "Version of Book With Error" combo box on the "Add Erratum for Programming Clojure" webpage (i.e. the page I am filling this out on) states that the publication version P2.0 date is Oct 20, 2009.

This is about "cond". I got the impression that Clojure supports the Common Lisp cond form (with parentheses). But when I tried typing the example code, I got an error:
((< x 10) "x is less than 10")
((> x 10) "x is greater than 10")
(:else "x IS 10"))
=> cond requires an even number of forms
[Thrown class java.lang.IllegalArgumentException]
After reading the paragraphs on cond, I thought Clojure supported both the Common Lisp form that had parentheses and the form that didn't have parentheses. Maybe the paragraph can have a note about that? I wouldn't have understood this without typing in the example.

This may be a misunderstanding on my part, but for the code example:
(defn index-filter [pred coll]
(when pred
(for [[idx elt] (indexed coll) :when (pred elt)] idx)))
the book states "The index/element pairs of (indexed coll) are bound to the names idx and elt but only when (pred elt) is true."
It seems that elt, at the very least, must get bound regardless in order to evaluate whether (pred elt) is true; it does not make sense to me that it could base its decision to bind or not based on whether an as-yet-unbound name satisfies a predicate.
Alternately, if it is clever enough to somehow recognize "I only want to bind values to [idx elt] if the value that would be bound to elt satisfies pred, so I will test pred with that value." then that should probably be explicitly stated, though I am not sure that that is actually different than binding.--Joel Jorgensen

The phrase, metadata is "data about data", is technically incorrect. Although it is more common in English to do so, the preferred is still to treat data as plural.
Thus it should read metadata _are_ "data about data".

The example shows what would happen if Clojure allowed unqualified symbols "start" and "result" in a macro. The example continues with "start" being bound to the user's value, 1. This gives an erroneous result on the time it takes to add the numbers, NOT the result of adding the numbers.
So, in the middle of the page, "All of
a sudden, one plus two seems to equal 1228277342451783002." should be "All of
a sudden, adding one plus two seems to take 1228277342451783002 nanoseconds."--Fred Daoud

In the example of redefining the hello function to be hello-with-memory, the text says you can verify the new functionality by typing (hello "Rich") and then typing (hello "Rich") again. If you use (load-file "examples/introduction.clj") to automatically enter the example code instead of typing it in by hand, however, the example fails, because the example file defines everything in the "examples.introduction" namespace. When you type just (hello "Name"), you're really getting (user/hello "Name"), which is the simpler function you typed in before. The new function lives in "examples.introduction/hello".
Typing (examples.introduction/hello "Rich") twice in a row does display the new functionality.--mark nutter

Airways: The Way To Go!
Myrna Katz Frommer
Harvey Frommer
More and more and in every way, AirTran
Airways is proving the way to go, especially for air warriors like us
who log so many miles in the sky.
This time around it was a combination
trip: interviewing at the Red Sox spring training site in Ft. Meyers,
Florida and stops at hotels in three different locales on the west coast
of the "Sunshine State."
Our outgoing flight was from Boston via
Atlanta and to Tampa. Coming back it was Tampa via Baltimore to Boston.
We had flown America's top low cost airlines before in highly
affordable Business Class and luxuriated in the lengthy legroom,
comfortable two-by-two seats, privacy, even free adult drinks. This
time, once again, the experience was seamless, serene, satisfying
Business Class. .
But even more important was the efficient
service and the affability of the personnel of AirTran Airways whether
on the airplane or at the counters in the various airports. They were
consistently smiling, consistently concerned about what we and other
passengers were doing.
In these down economic times, how
satisfying to have an airline like AirTran around providing excellent
service and making one feel that he or she is truly getting a good
AirTran's mission statement to "Be the
best in everything we do every day" is met big-time.
We look forward to flying this special
airline again.

Day two of Ultimate Reset done!
Today went well. I tolerated the Alkalinize better and I was able to drink more water. I feel pretty good – not cold like yesterday. I had some shoulder tension this morning but I did 45 minutes of P90X XStretch and that really helped. I felt a little foggy this morning but this afternoon I had more energy.
The food was good. Oatmeal, berries and yogurt for breakfast. Lunch was a Greek salad with chicken. In the afternoon I decided to have the optional snack. I wasn't really hungry so I probably shouldn't have. But I couldn't stop thinking about food. I had a small apple and some natural peanut butter. For dinner I had a black beans and rice taco and some spinach. My family had our regular tacos. The cheddar cheese was awfully tempting! But I resisted. 19 more days to go!


text: Desperate for cash, a couple of platonic slacker roommates -- Zack (Seth Rogen) and Miri (Elizabeth Banks) -- hit upon a sure-fire plan: They'll produce and star in a porno. This latest cheerfully vulgar comedy from Kevin Smith -- set and filmed in Pittsburgh -- doesn't aim very high and is occasionally uneven, but it mostly succeeds at hitting its marks: funny, profane riffs on pop culture and life; celebration of the everyman; lots of sex jokes (with only one unnecessary gross-out bit); and the time-honored Garland-and-Rooney narrative gambit ("Hey kids, let's put on a show!"). Woven in among the ass-play jokes is a comparatively sweet romance that's part of that au courant cinematic trend whereby gorgeous, smart, funny women fall hard for stoner shlubs (that's you, Rogen). (One day in movie-future, will hot guys ever tumble for slovenly chicks?) Lending comic ballast is Craig Robinson (The Office) and Justin Long, who is the hit of Zack and Miri's otherwise disastrous high school reunion. Starts Fri., Oct. 31

Fridays nowadays revolve around all things Curious Pixie related. It's the one day I have where I utilise my hours between 09:01 and 15:00 writing, photo editing and researching for the next post. Although I have been known to be lured away from my pride and joy. Usually the mention of food and drink does it. Well, a girl's gotta eat!
Mayfair restaurants
Newest London restaurants
An opportunity for a long overdue catch up with fellow blogger Seetal is exactly how I ended up at the new Magpie Mayfair restaurant. Nestled in a vibrant back street off Regents Street, Magpie is the second venture from the duo behind Michelin-starred Hackney bistro Pipgin.
The menu is described as modern European with no fixed focus on any particular cuisine. More an amalgamation of ingredients usually with an unconventional twist to dazzle the taste buds.
The dining room radiates a hipster vibe synonymous with oh-so-trendy East London. An airy and industrial, warehouse-esque interior including a counter bar looking onto an open plan kitchen with scuffed wooden and concrete floors, hanging light bulb fixtures and a landscape mural covering the back wall. It's undeniably edgy cool.
Magpie restaurant menu
The vegetarian menu is a delight to read. The unusual and interesting combinations actually had me in a state of flux. Seetal was in a similar fix – Be warned making a decision is difficult.
My turmoil over the burrata and my new favourite vegetable Jerusalem artichoke finally extinguished with Seetal opting for the creamy dreamy cheese – Sharing definitely on the agenda for this meal!
And let's just take a moment to appreciate this white beauty. The velvety burrata with a hidden oasis of basil oil, surrounded by puntarella leaves and smoked almonds (£9.50) is delectable.
The Jerusalem artichoke lay on top of an inviting pool of ranch butter (£5). Rich and naughty it tasted divine with perfectly cooked pieces of artichoke. The non-veggie version comes with avruga caviar, which came as a side for Seetal.
Our indecisiveness also lead to us ordering an extra starter, barbecued cabbage, lime pickle vinaigrette and topped with hazelnuts (£5). My least favourite dish as I found the citrus flavours too overpowering.
Mains followed in a similar creative vein. The purple sprouting broccoli with asian chermoula and silken tofu (£13) was the perfect veggie plate and as pretty as a picture like it's predecessors.
Seetal oohed and ahhed her way through her large plate of short rib, january king cabbage, gnocchi and a dollop of beef fat salad cream (£14).
Dazzled and full from the savoury dishes, we soldiered on to the desserts. Seetal's banana, peanut popcorn, bourbon and genmaicha custard black (£8), a pimped up childhood classic. Obviously my bananas and custard never came laced with alcohol. The subtle whiskey tones were a warming touch to the dish.
Now let's talk about the exquisite bean mousse, passion fruit and chilli sorbet (£7). The fluffy smooth texture of the mousse worked beautifully against the crunchy topping. The chilli hit from the sorbet was a slow burn. On one hand you're thinking this really shouldn't work, but it really, really does! I absolutely loved it.
Magpie is the place to go if you're looking for a unique and interesting menu. There are so many intriguing flavour combinations. I know I'll be back to try some more. With a friendly service and fun, lively atmosphere it really is a gem in the middle of tourist central.
Are you a fan of interesting flavour combinations? What has been the most unusual dish you've eaten? Let me know in the comments below.

I've had over 40 years of personal experience doing genealogy and hundreds of conversations with people who are also trying to figure out where they come from. The only consistent theme is that we are all at different points on the journey. And wherever you are is okay. That's the good thing about Story Mountain - we meet you exactly where you are today. So take a look at the map below and figure out -
Everyone starts here with the decision to discover more about their family history. Coming to Basecamp can be triggered by personal interest, a family story or memento, family events such as weddings, funerals, and the birth of a child or just plain getting older.
Learner's Ledge
If you start research on your own as many people do, Learner's Ledge is where you begin to understand what to look for in your family history and where to look for it – the basics of genealogy. Research, strategy and organization are important lessons to be learned here.
Research Ridge
You will make exciting discoveries and be inspired. Caution - Research Ridge is a seductive place that will lure you to stay with the promise of more facts. If you want your family history to be more than names, dates and places, though, you must move on to start creating stories of your ancestors others will want to hear.
Courage Summit
At this point, on your own or with help, you are committed to developing a family story about at least one of your ancestors; a story to share with a multigenerational audience of your loved ones.
Family History Slope
Here you merge the facts with the story of what your ancestors went through. What they wanted in life, struggles and roadblocks, good times and bad, choices they made and why, how their lives ended and how this all ultimately shaped their lives.
Basecamp 2.0
You made it down Story Mountain. You will probably climb it again to discover stories of other ancestors. After your first time up Story Mountain, you do not end up back at the original Basecamp.

Skift Take
Wyoming has its natural charms, and the wide-open spaces and sparse population are among them. Vermont has nothing to worry about. Wyoming will remain the least-populated state for the foreseeable future, saving Vermont and its cows from that status.
Wyoming's population grew slightly faster than the national average last year, but the Equality State is still the smallest in the nation.
The Casper Star-Tribune reported Wednesday that the Census Bureau estimates Wyoming grew by 1 percent to just under 583,000 between July of 2012 and July of 2013. The national growth rate was 0.7 percent.
State officials say job openings in construction and tourism drew new residents to Wyoming, and births outnumbered deaths by about 3,100 in the same period.
The next-smallest state population is in Vermont, with just under 627,000 residents. North Dakota is the third least populated with about 723,000 residents.

This question is found in chapter 9 " dr lanyons narrative"
We really don't know that Lanyon would die from shock. I think hints and clues are scattered around the plot that something pretty terrible is going on but we aren't prepared for Lanyon's death from shock. Lanyon's death from shock is merely a vehicle for Stevenson to highten the suspense and add another dimension of mystery to the plot.

Environmental and health impacts from unconventional gas include:
- Contamination of groundwater and surface waters from fracking and drilling fluids (which contain toxic chemicals) and from waste/produced water.
- Contamination of water from methane.
- Impacts to water systems where water is extracted for use in gas production.
- Impacts to rivers and groundwater levels due to dewatering.
- Methane contamination of soil, leading to anoxic conditions.
- Air pollution from gas emissions.
- Emission of greenhouse gases, particularly methane, contributing to climate change.
- Extensive habitat disturbance and land use.
- The creation of earthquakes from fracking.
The techniques involved in the extraction of unconventional gas, particularly hydraulic fracturing, have a high potential to create major environmental impacts, including:
- The diffuse nature of unconventional gas throughout the rock, which requires a much more invasive and larger scale of operation compared to conventional gas.
- The need for many more drilling wells (often >1 well per km2) compared to conventional gas extraction (<1 well per 10km2).
- The need for an energy intensive industrial process.
- The use of hydraulic fracturing (essential for tight gas and shale gas operations) which has many potential environmental impacts.
- The use of toxic chemicals during hydraulic fracturing and drilling, including known carcinogens.
- The large volumes of water needed for hydraulic fracturing.
- The extraction of water (dewatering) from the coal-bed during coal seam gas production to depressurise the seam and allow for gas flow; this extracted water, known as produced water, is highly saline and can contain trace elements and organic compounds.
- The disposal of large volumes of waste water and produced water which can contain fracking chemicals, salts, metals and other organic compounds.
- The disposal of waste salts produced as a by-product.
- The risk of blowouts from wells (eruption of high pressure gas during drilling causing fluids to be expelled), which can cause contamination and potentially cause fires.
Water contamination
The risk of water contamination from unconventional gas production is one of the most serious environmental concerns. Water contamination can occur to both surface waters, including rivers, creeks, and lakes, and groundwater systems, affecting aquifers and drinking wells.
Contamination can be from fracking fluids, drilling fluids, methane, waste water, and solid wastes. Studies have shown contamination of waterways from these sources causes death or serious health impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife, livestock and vegetation, and can cause serious health impacts for people in surrounding communities. As fracking fluids can contain hundreds of chemical additives, many of which are known to cause cancer in humans, the contamination from this source is particularly concerning.
Water contamination can occur due to spills at the surface, leaking of fracturing fluids or wastewater from wells and pipes, discharge of insufficiently treated waste water, or direct movement of methane, fracturing fluids or wastewaters upwards through the rock body.
Potential sources of water contamination that can arise from unconventional gas extraction
In the US, where the unconventional gas industry has the longest history, the contamination of water systems surrounding gas developments is well documented. In Australia, evidence of water contamination from unconventional gas operations has also been growing.
Methane contamination of water is a serious environmental hazard which has been well documented, particularly in surrounding water wells in settlements nearby gasfield operations. Methane levels in drinking water have been found to be high enough to be an explosion hazard, and can be set alight. River systems kilometres away from areas of gas production have also been found to be contaminated with methane. For example, in the Condamine River in Queensland, which runs through the most developed coal seam gas fields in the Surat basin, the bubbling of methane gas has been observed in at least three different locations.
The disposal of wastewater, which can contain toxic chemicals, high salt loads and toxic heavy metals, is extremely problematic, and often leads to the contamination of surrounding waterways. In many cases, wastewater is directly discharged into surface waters. There is no safe way of disposing wastewater. In the Bohena Creek in the Pilliga, water sampling found elevated levels of seven compounds where treated wastewater was discharged, including significantly elevated levels of ammonia, cyanide, and boron. A biodiversity survey linked the pollution of streams from the discharge of treated wastewater to the deaths of aquatic vertebrates.
Surface spills of wastewater, fracturing fluids and other substances are well documented in the US and worldwide. For example, in the Pilliga, many spills of toxic fluids into waterways have been documented, including 10,000L of wastewater, 250L of algaecide from a ruptured pipe, and major spills from storage ponds.
Sedimentation of waterways from unconventional gas production is another major recognised threat to aquatic ecosystems. Increased sedimentation in rivers and streams surrounding gas developments can result from construction activities and the altering of system flows. In Australia, many streams are already been heavily impacted by sedimentation, and the worst affected rivers are those in agricultural areas where the major gas developments are operating. The added sediment loads from gas operations could therefore be a significant threat to already stressed systems.
Over-consumption of water
The production of unconventional gas requires the consumption of huge amounts of water, particularly during fracking. Each well may consume up to 5 million gallons of water (almost 19 million L). This water can come from surface waters such as streams and rivers, or from boreholes that draw from underground aquifers.
The large amounts of water consumed in CSG production can significantly affect surrounding water sources and ecosystems. Extraction from streams can adversely affect biodiversity through lowering water quantity and impacting hydrological flows, at regional and local scales. The water table can also be significantly lowered if extracting from groundwater sources. The extraction of 'produced water' from coal seam beds during production can also have a large impact on water levels and hydrology, and has been shown to result in the depletion of aquifers. Surrounding springs and aquifers are also affected by water extraction, including overlying and underlying aquifers. For instance, in the Surat Basin in Queensland, studies have modelled that aquifers surrounding coal seam gas operations will be significantly impacted, and that large 'de-pressurised' zones will be created.
The impacts of over-consumption and depletion of water are of particular concern for Australia, where we already face water shortages and major issues of over-extraction. All of the major coal seam gas operations across the country occur in areas where water resources are already stressed.
Greenhouse gas emissions
Gas has widely been considered to be a "cleaner" fossil fuel compared to coal, largely due to lower emissions of carbon dioxide. However, the level of overall greenhouse gas emissions is a source of active debate among scientists. Some scientists consider that greenhouse gas emissions from unconventional gas have been significantly underestimated, and that the full life cycle emissions could be comparable with or even higher than coal.
Fugitive emissions, or unintentional emissions, of methane can occur from several sources, and are often unaccounted for or underestimated. For instance, the diffuse release of methane through the soil can be large, but is generally discounted by the industry. Official industry estimates of fugitive emissions are therefore thought to be extremely underestimated.
Recent scientific studies in Tara, Queensland, have found fugitive methane emissions to be high, which significantly increases the GHG footprint.
The exact composition of hydrocarbon concentrations in unconventional gases can also vary significantly and is generally unquantified. Therefore, greenhouse gas emissions from the end-use combustion of that gas can vary significantly, and the GHG footprint may be significantly higher than industry statements.
Accurate estimation of the overall greenhouse gas emissions from unconventional gas is constrained by uncertainties.
Habitat destruction
Unconventional gas developments impact habitats and biodiversity through the direct clearing of land, habitat fragmentation, the potential spread of invasive species, and an increased risk of fire. Unconventional gas developments have a larger scale of industrial operation and land use compared to conventional gas. Access roads, pipelines, wells and other infrastructure require the clearing of large tracts of land. Unconventional gas requires a large number of drilling wells, with often more than one well per km2. The negative impacts of habitat destruction and habitat fragmentation are well documented, and remain one of the leading causes of biodiversity loss globally.
An Australian report suggests that the impacts of coal seam gas developments on terrestrial habitats could be severe, with particularly bad impacts on landscapes where extensive vegetation clearing and fragmentation have already occurred, such as in many of the rural areas of CSG operation. Areas of high conservation value are also under threat from developments, such as the Pilliga forest, which is a national biodiversity hotspot and provides habitat for 48 threatened species. During the exploration phase, 150 ha of native vegetation was cleared and 1,700 ha of native vegetation was heavily fragmented, and the full production phase would involve the clearing of at least 2,400 ha of native vegetation, and the fragmentation of an area of 85,000 ha.

Rush: Obama Adm Behind The Leaks - "He Damn Well Doesn't Want The Clintons Coming In and Unraveling His Agenda"
Rush on his radio show today says President Obama doesn't want the Clintons back in the White House because they will come in and 'unravel' his agenda. Rush believes Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett are behind these latest Clinton leaks.
Listen to the Audio:
Listen to the Audio:
RUSH: "I have warned you, I have guided you, I have trained you to look at news in such a way as to see angle in it that destroys us, and many of you are doing that in this case. And I do not blame you, but I don't think that's what's happening here yet. I think the Regime is behind these leaks. I think the Regime, Valerie Jarrett, they know what's on that server of Hillary's. They knew what she was doing.
There's no love lost between these two, make no mistake about it. And I think, in the pit of his stomach, the last thing Obama wants is the Clintons back in the White House toying around with his agenda and maybe trying to tweak it, change it, get rid of it, whatever, for them to take credit for whatever comes next. Because, believe me, both Obama and the Clintons are obsessed with getting credit for what they do. And the last thing Obama wants -- he's not even worried about the Republicans right now.
But he damn well doesn't want this Clinton pair coming in and unraveling his agenda, and he doesn't trust 'em"

After visiting our cousins in Cape Cod, we headed to New York for a quick two-day stop before visiting my grandpa in New Jersey. Oh how I wish I had more photos from our first day in New York! Unfortunately, it was raining so my sister and I only had a few quick seconds in-between rain storms to snap some photos. So, apologies for the lack of pictures from day one.
As crazy as Times Square can be, I always make myself go when my family visits New York. There's something about the lights and everything going on that takes the crazy away and turns it into the feeling you get when you're in a really exciting place - which is exactly what New York is. Don't get me wrong, I love the quieter parts of New York (Upper East Side, Greenwich Village, etc.), but there's a certain quality that Times Square holds that makes you want to go back. Whether it's the big stores, or the glowing lights, it's definitely a must to get a taste of the city.
After wandering Times Square and hopping in and out of stores to avoid the rain, we went back to our hotel to rest. Our hotel was the neatest place - it was called the Novotel and had a huge European vibe to it. The best part was the balcony in the picture below that overlooked Times Square! I would definitely stay there again, if not for the location, but for the service too.
We grabbed a quick snack and then headed off to see Aladdin on Broadway! I had seen it last summer with my mom, but my sister had never seen it and it was so good that I had no problem seeing it again. The acting was phenomenal and the sets are always fun to look at. To be honest, I wouldn't mind seeing it a third time!
Check back soon for details on day two!

When doctors diagnosed Jerron Herman with cerebral palsy hemiplegia, they told him he wouldn't be able to clothe or feed himself, and that he would need assistance with nearly everything he did. Not only did Herman prove them wrong, he went on to realize his dream of dancing professionally. For the past six years, he has danced with Heidi Latsky Dance, a company that integrates people with disabilities. Armed with impeccable balance, an unstoppable drive and a refusal to submit to any limitations of his physical diagnosis, Herman is helping break stereotypes of people with disabilities.

Call for Papers – VicWater Annual Conference
To enable the development of the program we are inviting papers that explore the conference theme: MICRO SOLUTIONS FOR MACRO PROBLEMS
The 2017 VicWater Annual Conference will explore the way that local, specific and targeted responses can provide a cumulative macro solution. It is all too easy to become daunted by the scale of some of these macro challenges, but the aggregated impact of micro solutions can be significant and by focusing on these micro solutions the macro problems don't seem so big.
Micro solutions could range across areas such as technological innovation, artificial intelligence, new ways of engaging with and involving customers in decision making, better ways of making use of customer data, low tech solutions for high tech problems, use of Nano technologies and robotics, better use of data – customers and performance.
The papers chosen to be included on the Conference program will articulate, at a broad level, an understanding of the Victorian water sector and its current priorities and how the information being presented can be seen and used through that lens within the sector.
Please download the brochure below for more information on focus area, selection criteria and conference audience.
Interested persons who would like to present a paper at this year's VicWater Annual Conference are invited to submit a one page abstract to us by Friday 21 April 2017 marked to the attention of Tony Wright, Chief Executive Officer.

As a realtor, of course I understand a lot more about the business and take for granted that the general population doesn't understand what we do for a living…or how we function and operate as business owners. I'm on a quest to myth bust today. If not for the general population, maybe this will set just one person straight that is thinking about getting into the business and making some "easy money". If you have any perceptions about real estate or realtors, feel free to comment.
Myth: Realtors work for their respective brokers.
Fact: Realtors are independent business owners. We file a 1099 with the IRS, pay self employment taxes, pay our respective brokers a hefty percentage of each commission, marketing, board dues, etc. individually.
Myth: HER is an all women's real estate brokerage.
Fact: HER is a company that was founded in 1956 by a man named Harley E. Rouda.
Myth: Realtors get a small salary + commission.
Fact: Realtors receive no compensation until a home is sold. The gas money, time, and research done prior to the home sale is all compensated for at the closing. Further, realtors actually pay the companies that they work for a hefty fee in order to advertise under the brokerage umbrella. Any health insurance, personal marketing, etc. are paid for by each independent agent.
Myth: Realtors do open houses to sell the house that is being held open.
Fact: While every once in awhile this does happen, an open house is typically done in order for the agent to procure buyers that will end up buying another home.
Myth: A realtor with the Million Dollar Award has made a million dollars.
Fact: In order to receive the Million Dollar Award, a realtor must have sold 2 million dollars worth of real estate…5 Million dollar award = 10 million in real estate…and so on.
Myth: Realtors get paid a lot of money to show houses.
Fact: While some bad apples tend to spoil the bunch, most agents help people make good decisions. Buying a home is usually the largest investment a person makes in a lifetime and they don't do it every day. We do.
Myth: Having a friend represent me as their Realtor is a conflict of interest.
Fact: I have represented many friends in buying/selling and have never let it come between a relationship. In fact, many of the testimonials that I've received have come from friends.
Myth: Realtors get a kickback for sending referrals to mortgage lenders, inspectors, etc.
Fact: RESPA (Real Estate Settlement and Procedures Act) actually prohibits realtors from receiving an incentive to send their business to certain vendors. If a realtor refers you to a company, they actually believe in the person/service that the company/person provides.

Icehole won a gold award at the Australian Professional Photography Awards this year and it is a composite image. This means that it is not real. A composite Image is a picture that is made from the combination of multiple images merged into one. It is a constructed creation.
The two images that were used to create Icehole were taken in Iceland whilst running a tour with Luke Austin and Adam Williams (The Light Collective). The iceberg was photographed at Black Sand Beach near Jökulsárlón and the 'Icehole' that frames the subject was photographed just outside an ice cave, also near Jökulsárlón.

Nothing significant has changed weather-wise since my previous post earlier this morning. The sun tried to peek through for a bit, but the temperature only rose to 35 for about an hour, and now it's grey again, and the temper here in northwest Harris County is back to just at freezing 32.
About every school and university announced closures already yesterday, and now most of the city and county offices are closed. Local television reports dangerous ice on a lot of the overpasses and bridges, with many accidents as a result. Houston Transtar shows the location of the bad road spots, and locations of the many accidents across the city can be found here.
Even though the service roads should be OK because the ground still is warm, I haven't ventured out further than the front yard even though, I suppose the stores out my way are open, and with the chance to watch some "judge" shows on weekday TV, cabin fever hasn't been a problem.
If the ice and water out in my yard are any indication, the icy
freeways won't get better today. There is still ice on the agave which is not that far off the warmer yard, so those high ramps and overpasses on the freeways still probably haven't melted much. The slick layer on the roof of the garage has melted a bit and forming icicles, a bit of a rarity here in Houston.

I only now discovered your website. I am 59 and like to improve my piano playing skills. Want to know - is it really necessary to learn chords? Thanks. Marlene
Maria's answer:
I guess you mean to play chords as an accompaniment, or the art of "comping" as it is also called. No, many otherwise skilled pianists do not know how to play by reading chords from a lead sheet.
So, if you are really not interested to learn to play chords and/or your time is limited – of course you don't have to!
But – since you are asking me ; ) – why not? It is very easy to learn, and you get a better understanding of any style of music by understanding some of the underlying chords, or harmonies in the music you play.
It is enriching. It is also fun to play along with songs and to read music (chords and melody) very easily. You are not limited to one style of music either, there are even classical "Fake books" available. Check these out for example:
The Classical Fake Book: Over 600 Classical Themes and Melodies in Their Original Keys
The Bach Fake Book (Fake Books)
So finally, learning how to play chords is not necessary, but it does make you a more "well-rounded" pianist!
I can recommend this book to help anyone to get started on how to play chords:
How to Play from a Fake Book (Keyboard Edition)

I draw my energy from nature, and have always found comfort in the blue rays from our neighbor in the sky. They remind me that there's something out there, something we cannot touch or completely understand. The moon warms the depths of my creativity and sparks the flames of inspiration. On occasion, late at night, I've raised my arms to its glory and accepted its call to the mysterious unknown—shush, don't tell anyone. Yes, I love the moon, and when it's full, I'm at my prime.
I was born during a full moon. Since then, the moon and its phases has welcomed and guided me. When dark, I'm allowed to search the stars. When brilliant, I enjoy its magic and grace. Even when it's hidden by clouds, I know when there's a full moon close; I can feel it.
Why am I sharing this? What could the moon possibly have to do with writing? To me, it's everything. The people in the books I create worship nature. Every whisper of the wind, every storm, every star, has a place and a memory that is sacred to them. Their struggles revolve around the moon as much as their humanity. For them, the moon takes an entire season to cross the sky.
The original name the book I keep mentioning was Moon Season. A huge part of me still wants to call it that. The main Character in my books is a girl named Rhiannon Phillips. She's a Faerie. Her struggle during the Moon Season is the premise for the story. In my world, Faeries are chosen; they are sacred representatives of the village and its rites. I now title the book On Fallen Wings because I want to show the conflict Rhiannon faces.
This blog is about my adventure in the publishing process, and as nature speaks to me, I'll share how it's influencing my actions and try my best to explain my motivations. We live in a busy world that's full of chaos and rumblings, and I'm hoping that, through my writing, I can take you away to a fantastic place where I've been escaping. I don't want to give too much away before I can attach "published" to my bio, but I'm hoping you'll join me for the journey. As Homer said, "the journey is the thing."
