Art by Bigote
As we get deeper into Summer 2016, here is this month´s Cumbia selection by la Selva – festival edition.
The Silly Tang selected:
Cumbia De Las Estrellitas (Real Cumbia Activa X Plastic Toy Sounds) – Contoneo Tropical (Taciano Records)
To start this very varied and quality month of July I wanted to include one of my favourite producers out there at the moment ¡ The all mighty Real Cumbia Activa. He has brought some ill remixes to the dancefloor and this one is not an exception. A bit trippier than his normal releases, he has gone properly in on the cow bell and vocal effects. A real hit ¡
Sonido Mamalón – Bachabé Kó(Antes Que Nada)
This 2nd selection has come to my attention because it really flirts with the cumbia dub elements I love. The folklore added to it just adds to its roots effect on the ear. Real summer chilling track.
Kraut – Marimba (Shika Shika)
This Dutch producer has brought out a Brand new fresh ep called Especials EP. It is very varied and the production sounds very German. It has a techno style of lineal sounding Groove. I recommend you go discover this producer ¡
Alvaro Llerena Martinez – Mis Amores (Bigote Remix)
Here he is again, the grime King of cumbia making us feel the weight of his mighty kicks ¡ This song originally from the master Alvaro Llerena Martinez has had a slick refix by my good friend Mr Bigote ¡
Malphino – Lalango (Names You Can Trust)
I selected this track to off course to introduce you to Malphino which production is so nice, acoustic sounding and psychedelic to its roots. I also wanted to present this fabulous label called " Names you can't trust. " It has brought out a few vinyl so far and the whole of it has this trippy finish and musical excellence. Please check it out as bringing out a vinyl is a lot of effort, and this label needs all our back up J
Nixtamal – Chinga de Mixtape
Yes I like finding out new producers from France ¡ I have come accross this producer on the new "Cumbia Libertad" vynil compilation and was stunned by his track on it. Here we have a selection of tunes mixed by this cumbia veteran J
Sonido Todomono – Cundé Cundé Cumbé (Alto Perú Remix) – La Niña Emilia
LOVE THIS ¡ Proper summer business right here. Don't look any further for your ice tea and hammock musical treats ¡ Very folkloric release and real energetic vibes on this tune. Please go check out more of Sonsonete Todomono love the work especially for these very hot summer evenings ¡
Now this group I have been fan for years ¡ Grupo Ju-Juy ¡ Real proper cumbia band they always deliver a semi psychedelic sound and original cumbia grooves. On this track especially we can hear that guitarist going straight to the jungle ¡
Mashup Mexico – Sonora Dinamita – Las Brujas (Cumbia Edit )
I'm new to Mashup-Mexico but I really do think they have great potential. This versión brings us back a old track by Sonora Dinamita and it is also free to grab J Run Run Run ¡
2 games 1 boy – Acid Cumlib (OPL3 via Adlib Tracker II)
This has come out just in time for this month selection ¡ Our good mate and all around nuttah 2 games 1 boy has brought us this track on his analog toes ¡ Very trippy but deep production this tune goes in ¡ Free DL also so run grab it quick ¡
KayGee selected:
SOL 041 – Summer Sol (SolSelectas)
So i don't know where to start with this compilation?! I'm listening to it again as I'm writing this and still can't believe how incredible all of these tunes are!! The track list itself, including artists like El Buho, Matanza, Rodrigo Gallardo, Spaniol, Peter Power who are amongst the ones i know, was looking tasty! Every track is a beauty; a perfect blend (and I insist on perfect) between the artists' organic origins and newer electronic surroundings, creating one immense trip around the world, "going from South American mid tempo, to Shamanic downtempo, to Middle Eastern deep house, to Latin tribal house, to Playa tech, to Ambient cumbia dub."
ÍCAROS(Cantos espirituales del Amazonas) (KONN®)
Here's another trip, and this one goes deep into the Peruvian amazon, with powerful shamanic chants, recorded by Mr Toé during one of his journeys. He joined efforts here with 3 other great producers (Inti Che, Rodrigo Gallardo, King Coya.) for a project which first came to life in the Nomade Festival in Chile, and then came to us through this EP! I admire how they all manage to keep the original shamanic vibe of the recordings and bring it to the dancefloor in such a smooth way. Big EP!
Wenceslada – Niebla Versiones (Regional Label)
So many great EPs this month! So good to see, and hear! Now this one comes straight from the great Chilean Regional Label, with 6 amazing versions of Wenceslada's 'Niebla' EP, which was also released on Regional about 6 months ago. Barda, Guazú (who i had the pleasure of discovering in this EP), RumboTumba, Doma Tornados, Montoya & Rafael Aragon bring to us 6 completely different approaches to the original tunes, ranging in rhythms & bpms for us to enjoy as a whole; with a special mention to the badman tropical trooper they call Rafael Aragon, who hit the spot with these drums. I always enjoy Rafa's chilled tunes.
Kike Pinto – Pachamama Pachakamaq (El Búho Edit)
Now simply sit back, press play and enjoy!! It had been a while since we had had the pleasure of hearing one of El Búho's edits, and this one is just as flavorous as expected. The edit is actually incredible; check out the original tune and see how he has superbly brought his sounds to it, with great space and quality in the production, enhancing the effect of each individual sound, taking you with them on the way.
Johnny Thrash – Acordeón Galáctico (Tribilin Sound Remix)
You recognise that guiro?These shakers? That progression? Tribilin Sound en la casa! This guy never stops; he's probably already released a few other tunes since this one came out. It's always so smooth, so progressive, with the whole tune slowly but surely shaping up, in a repetitive yet catchy and groovy way. Big ups!
Panther Panther! – Midnight Ritual (Tropical Twista Records – 2016)
Aie aie aie ! This is banging ! Shout out to Tropical Twista Records for this release. I didn't know Panther Panther before, but had the pleasure of discovering their work in this new EP. They describe it as a "high-energy, bass-heavy soundtrack to further space exploration in times of darkness", and I think if you add a few potent shakers and bells to that you get it! Really cool approach to the whole thing.
Lascivio Bohemia – Le Hot Versions
Here are 6 wicked versions of true classics, released independently by Lascivio Bohemia. His sounds are incredible. He always surprises me and gets me grooving to different rhythms and new sounds. In this case, I personally find his remix of Carlos Vibes' 'Rosa' simply fantastic!
Negro Dub – 10 Years of Electrocumbia (ZZK Records)
And to keep on with the whole version/remix thing, please say hello to ZZK Records latest free release with Negro Dub, here to celebrate the occasion with a whole lot of remixes! The track list is actually very surprising, with Negro Dub remixing tunes from Lito Barrientos to David Guetta, stopping by Stromae and then onto Andres Landero. The final result is actually pretty cool and will surely be enjoyed all along the summer.
Perro Agradecido Cumbia – Detektiv
So let's switch frequencies and go for some live band business, with Perro Agradecido Cumbia who have been uploading all the tracks of "Ánima en pena" over the past month, and brought to us the 7th instalment a few days ago. Proper psychadelic synths and heavy shakers & cowbells rinsing the place; straight from Mexico.
Orkesta Mendoza – Cumbia Volcadora (feat. Camilo Lara) (Glitterbeat Records)
Another great piece of live music shaping up is el Orkesta Mendoza's new album, to be released in October; and here's a little extract! Absolute banger ! The tripped out vocals & sirens, these heavy winds, the synths, with that groovy guitar riff….the whole lot. I love it.
Music is usually orientated to our ears, but can also be appreciated with and through different supports & projects. Here are two projects that currently represent this and I think have their place here:
El Búho – Dj Set · Viveylate Radio 1×09
More info on Viveylate here: http://viveylate.com/
ANDIGENA COLECTIVO – Teaser
And because it would be rude of me not to share some of the mixtapes which came out this month with you in case you missed them, here are a few:
Amuleto Mixtape – Sistema Beat Andino (Edmoon Records)
Click here to stream:
UCR #025 by Barrio Lindo (Urban Cosmonaut Radio)
Eduardo Zambrano – ¡TAS TAS TAS TAS! mixtape
Dengue Dengue Dengue – Clash DJ Mix
Coconutah selected:
Lascivio bohemia – Ópalo
Brand new release from Lascivio Bohemia, this takes into deep tribal cumbia territory with some fast guiros and some tasty tribal percussion, warped vocals and an asian sounding guitar. Sprinklings of trippy pads finish of the journey as the listener is drawn into a dubbed out, strange sounding world that stays with you after the music stops.
Arrebalero – Valle de chalco
Arrebalero delights up with some hard hitting, stomping, synth heavy electrocumbia with this new track, Valle de Chalco. Layers of synths come together seamlessly to take you into a Robo-cumbia world, whilst the pulsing beat ensures your legs keep moving. Check it out!
Pablo Pachacutik – Cumbia Birlocha (Kumbale)
Pablo Pachacutik hits up with a new EP on prolific Berlin based tropical bass label, Kumbale. These are some original remixes as old school folclore tunes are mashed up into their future sounding versions – there are defnitely some nice trap / IDM flavours shining through on this EP.
Syztema – Madre Tierra (Prehispanic Mix) (La Restistencia Recs)
Not strictly cumbia by the book as this has a strong tribal feel to it, the heavy guiros in this track definetily make it worthy of a mention in this month´s edition. This is a great dancefloor track – check how its relentless beat will get everybody shaking. Psychedelic flute licks top the tune off and give it some added crazyness. Big in the game!
Insane Ambient – Cumbia insana
Insane ambient is a "chill-psy" project from Brazil. Here, they have gracefully left us with some deep, deep cumbia chill vibes. This is a very ambient, melodic track, and really hits the right spot with a very progressive atmosphere.
TURBOMEX – Aroma De Pecado (Orihuela MSS Remix) (Caballito Netlabel)
Caballito Netlabel always brings something different and this time does not disappoint, with a release by TURBOMEX; cumbia hip hop from mexico, this is quite varied within the cumbia genre, going from very traditional accordeons to more recent, more digital dub vibes. Special mention to the Orihuela MSS remix, adding some heavy sonidero beats.
We hope you enjoyed the selection as always! Have a great cumbialistic summer and let the guiros hit you hard! See you next month for some more cumbia bangers.

3D Renders3265
65151 14 14
|jfantin private msg quote post Address this user
|Hi there, I hope you are enjoying your sunday!
I have been researching a little, trying to find a reliable and cost effective rendering service.
So far Archilogic has emerged as a suitable prospect, but I wonder if you can tell me about other companies that do the same.
The reason is that sometimes I come across a developer that says: "I love Matterport but I have not a finished unit to show. Can you create a 3D model that I can walk if I give you a 2D floor plan to work with?".
I really like the idea of offering the whole package: Matterport, floor plans and 3D renders.
With my camera, and Petra´s Blue-Sketch service I have the solution for the first two, but I need a renders provider.
Any tip or help will be appreciated.

|DannyBasting private msg quote post Address this user
|The real question is what it should be used for.
If you want a quick way to show your design in a web based application Archilogic seems like a nice solution. You will be limited to one floor per model though. There are workarounds for that but still..
If they need images or video in order to sell their property, I think you should look in to something more realistic then that.
All depends on the clients needs and budget.

|jfantin private msg quote post Address this user
|@DannyBasting, the idea came from the fact that sometimes, as it happens frequently in my country, the developers start selling appartments in buildings that do not exist yet. They have only floor plans, a scale model and that's it.
They don´t even have a model appartment to show.
So, as a Matterport model would be only possible if they have a model appartment, que question they raise is: can you do somethig like Matterport but from something that doesn´t exist yet?
This means that the need is to have a 3D model that a prospective buyer could walk around, and even play with furniture, etc.
Do you know of anything more realistic than Archilogic?
I suppose that budget wouldn´t a main concern if the solution is realistic enough as to help in the selling process.
Thanks for your contribution!

I made the switch from traditional rendering engines to the Unreal game engine to do the visualizations for my clients about a year ago. I think the ability to interact with a model is a very important feature and game engines are already playing a big role in the architectural visualization world.
You may want to take a look at my Scan to Game Engine tread if you haven't already.
Below is one of the first projects I created with UE4 for a developer.
Also @jonj is working on something cool over here.

|Thanks @DannyBasting, I saw the thread you mentioned where you work with a xyz point cloud from a Matterport model.
The result is very impressive. Also I watched the video.
Now my question is: can you do that starting with a floorplan in 2D? Or do you always need a 3D model to start with?
For what I understand, you have worked with a model generated with a Matterport Camera (although I am not sure about the video you posted with UE4.
Finally, are you planning to make this as a service for others? I would be interested.

I think I may reach out to them (or this community), to see if someone can send me an example OBJ file created from a floorplan using their service.

|@DannyBasting reach out to them and you will probably end up dealing with Johannes.
I've just recently started using their service and he's been awesome, I don't see why he wouldn't be willing to work with you.
I would be very interested in seeing his models with your visual effects.
If you decide not to deliver this as a service please let us know more about your workflow. Specifically the rendering section as I'm fine with sketchup just not so hot on the renders yet lol.

I wanted to post an example of what I have received from Archilogic. They do a great job and I highly recommend them!

The great thing about Archiologic is that all of the models are already VR compatible.
Hope this helps,

|@Helen Thank you for sharing!
I haven't heard of them specifically . Then again, there are a lot of companies starting to switch from traditional rendering engines to game engines like UE4 and Unity.
I did something similar as they do in the video you shared.. This was a long time ago though, before I started working with UE4. I tested a program called ARmedia.
Pretty fun stuff to play around with, however with the arrival of Virtual reality and the developments going on in mixed reality I don't think this particular use case will be relevant for much longer.

Team Pink Eye + Unique Pigments = GIVEAWAY TIME!
Glostix has teamed up with Team Pink Eye and Unique Pigments to host a giveaway for the cure! What's all this mean? Just in case you haven't been following along, a whole gaggle of bloggers and indie makeup companies have banded together to raise money for Susan G Komen for the Cure, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month. As of this writing, Team Pink Eye has raised $457 for breast cancer research. You go, guys!
Speaking of guys, I have a little something something to say right about now; something I feel is quite important.
Breast cancer isn't just a women's issue – it's everyone's issue. Data suggest that 230,480 women will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer this year. This means that 230,480 families – including husbands, sons, brothers, and grandsons – will be fighting their own emotional battle in addition to their loved one's battle. Not only are men impacted on an emotional level, but they are also in danger of developing the very same cancer themselves: An estimated 2,140 men will also be diagnosed with breast cancer this year.
We women are blessed to have a wealth of support and information to help us combat this illness. In each other, we find strength. We need to extend this strength and community to the men in our lives. We know all too well the importance of self-examination. We are told, time and time again, that early detection is the best indicator of recovery. What about the men in our lives? Do they know that breast cancer isn't just for women? Do they know to check their pecs?
Breast Cancer Awareness month isn't just about rallying for donations; it's about raising awareness. So raise some awareness tonight, and talk to your boyfriends or husbands. Talk to your dad. Tell them how important it is to pay attention, and not let anything suspicious go without a doctor's visit. Tell them that you love them, and you'd feel better if you knew they knew what you know. In more eloquent terms, of course.
Now that I've said my piece, who's up for the giveaway?!
Yeah, there's the magic words!
As I said before, glostix, Team Pink Eye and Unique Pigments have teamed up for this one. The prize up for grabs: A beautiful, special edition pale pink eyeshadow, appropriately named "Awareness"! Check this gorgeousness out!
How do you get it? Two very easy steps:
1. Make a minimum $5 donation at Team Pink Eye's Passionately Pink hub.
This donation is good for ALL giveaways for week four (check the TPE blog for details!)
2. Comment on this entry with your name and email.
Be sure to use the name and email you used when you donated!!
This giveaway is open from NOW until Sunday, October 30th 2011 at 10PM CST. Entries will be compiled by the Team Pink Eye captains, and a winner will be selected via random.org. Winners of all giveaways will be contacted by email. It is important that you provide the same name and email under which you donated – this is how your donation is verified!
This Unique Pigments giveaway is sponsored by Team Pink Eye and Unique Pigments. Susan G Komen for the Cure does not sponsor this or any Team Pink Eye giveaway.
If you're coming in on this entry too late, or you're not interested in winning the giveaway, you can purchase Awareness at the Unique Pigments Artfire store, or check out their gorgeous Passionately Pink trio! 35% of all Awareness or Passionately Pink Collection sales go right to Team Pink Eye! Or, you can make a donation at Team Pink Eye's Passionately Pink hub for positively no reason whatsoever, at any time that tickles your fancy, to help us reach our $1000 goal. Because in the end, it isn't about the pretties – it's about the cure.
Good luck to everyone who enters all the giveaways this week, and a big fist-pump to all the men and women for whom we're fighting!

Pastors and Churches Gone Wild [Paperback Book]
Is the Christian establishment going to hell in a hand-basket, or has it already gone?
Have America's pastors gone "off their rockers?" Reading these outrageous, true stories by Texe Marrs, you will be amazed. These unbelievable pastors run our largest churches. They are seen by tens of millions on TV. Yet, they are preaching and doing the most horrific things—and their churches are growing fast. People everywhere are lapping it up. Surely, the Devil and his demons are laughing and cheering as those pastors go wild, make fools of themselves, and lead entire congregations down pathways straight to hell!
Here are just a few of the incredible, true stories you will discover in Pastors and Churches Gone Wild!:
• Church leader says Christians are going to hell, which is "quite an agreeable place."
• Lesbian theologian encourages prayer to "Saint Uncumber, a bearded female saint."

[deleted account]
With most of these baby-training regimens you run the risk of becoming desensitized to the cues of your infant, especially when it comes to letting baby cry it out. Instead of helping you to figure out what baby's signals mean, these training methods tell you to ignore them. Neither you nor your baby learn anything good from this.
Clicking into the cry-it-out method also keeps you from continuing to search for medical or physical causes of nightwaking, such as GER and food allergies. Nightfeedings is normal; frequent nightwaking is not.

I have 3 boys, ages 9, 4, and 19 months. None of them slept through the night until I trained them to. I had to keep them in their cribs, with a gate at the door (they liked to climb out) and let them cry it out. I wouldn't suggest letting a little 8 month old cry. All of mine were past the one year mark... anyways, it only took a few days to make them understand that Mommy is not going to sook me at night anymore. Sorry I'm not more help... it's frusterating I know.

My daughter is 2 and only just started sleeping through the night..whew! I kept a bottle of milk beside her through the night so I wouldn't have to get up. Gradually, she stopped wanting it.

My baby was also 8 months old and wasn't sleeping through the night. Unfortunately we had to just let her cry it out. It broke my heart, but with in 2 nights she was sleeping right through. We read "The 90 Minute Sleep Program" which helped us. It will be hard, but trust me completely worth it. The problem wasn't that my baby needed milk even though I thought she did, it was that when she woke up during the night she wasn't able to get herself back to sleep. Once she learned that we all started to get more rest! Good luck!

My son slept through one whole night, only for him to start teething like the next day. From then on he didn't sleep through. My boy would have bottle every 2 hours through the night. I'd give him his last bottle at 8 and he's sleep until 12 then av bottle every 2 hours. He loved being swarved, not sure correct spelling. You know when you wrap them in a blanket so they feel secure? My lad is 6 soon and he still wakes up in the night for me. I used to put a little rusk in his bottle to fill him up but u need a wider teat for that and you have to make sure it's mixed properly x

try th evideo 'IT'S TIME TO SLEEP' i finally came across it and my daughter had her first night sleep at 18mths. She was so bad we were a part of two sleep studies. This video was a god send and after three days she was almost perfectly on schedule and doing the right thing sleepwise

I tried the water thing back when my tot was about 8 months. Then he started crying for water in the middle of the night. Finally I had to do it cold turkey. I made sure his tummy was good and full before he went to bed, then when he woke up in the middle of the night, i let him cry himself to sleep. The first night, he cried for about 20 minutes. After the first night, he never cried again.

What I had to do with my youngest child, was let him cry! My doctor told me that he was a good weight, and let him cry himself back to sleep. It took 4 days before he slept through the night. It is not Easy just listening to your baby cry and you will feel like a horrible person for doing it...But keep in mind that your not hurting your child, You are Helping your child. The other thing that seemed to help my older son was to feed him REALLY thick pablum, just before bed. This made him feel full, all night long. Hope that this helps you alittle bit.

As a mother of five, I have found that all babies have their ways. Each of mine started sleeping through the night at different ages. (2mths, 4mths, 14mths, 9mths, 4mths) Be patient and she will learn how to sleep all night. Enjoy every new experience.

Hi! When my daughter did that I use to put a little cereal in bottle at night and she use to slepp all. The bottle right before she goes to bed.
Lisa - posted on 01/30/2009
At that age she shouldn't need a feed through the night and is only waking up because you give her one. My daughter did the same thing until i started ignoring her, she whinged for the first few nights but less and less each time until after about 3 or 4 nights she didnt wake anymore. Some1 told me to try giving her a bottle of water instead of milk if she still wanted a feed until she learnt that she wasnt getting milk, but i didnt need to
Narelle - posted on 01/30/2009
I hope this doesn't sound nasty but sounds to me like your baby is playing you. She knows that by crying out you will come and give her milk to get her back to sleep. You need to be tough and not give in to her. The first few nights will be hell and she will be hard to settle back down but hang in there and it should get easier and she should start to wake less and less until she eventually gets the message that you aren't going to give in and she isn't going to get that drink she wants, then she should sleep right through. The other thing I had to learn the hard way is that it doesn't hurt them to cry a little. I used to jump straight up out of bed at the first hint of a cry but now I let my little one cry a bit first and most times he even settles himself back to sleep. I think the secret is don't give in to them, you are the parent and the boss. Good luck, its hard work but you will get there in the end, stay persistent.

hey this is what i done with both my kids and neices and nethews bring em home get them in a routine from day dot ( as soon as they come home from hosp) wake the bubs at 10 pm and play for an hour even if they sleepin u have to have ur sleep too REMEMBER YOU ARE ALWAYS THE BOSS! feed, change nappy and burp and eventually u will find the baby will get in the routine of every 4 hour feeds .. my hours were 7 am, play till 10 am nappy change and bottle down for a nap, up @ 1 pm for abit have some lunch nappy change and litle play. i found this method was good when bubs were young still in cradle. When older hours are wake at 7 am, up till after lunch 1-2pm down for nap sleep till 5-6pm up then for tea and play with daddy till 10pm chnage bum give bottle burp and put down for long sleep till 5-7 am the next morning... always worked for me ;) and my babies were the most well adjusted happiest babies. the key is more wake times in the day and later feed at night yes thats it spot on i agree ammensly.

Hi Jacqui you must be exhausted and so must be your baby from not sleeping thru all night, she's probably teething and this is making her wake up, contact your paediatrician she probably needs a gum gel and a pain killer for a goon nights sleep!!

thanx clare ill check it out.

Not a big fan of baby literature but I was given this book - On Becoming Baby Wise (ISBN 0-9714532-0-9) by a friend. I was having problems with getting my son to sleep through and have a regular pattern of wake and sleep. This was my saving grace. It has really comprehensive short-term and long-term plans of action to follow to get baby to sleep. Big chapter on babies and sleep among other really useful information that contribute to better sleeping patterns - like making baby last through the night after they get into bad waking habits and want comfort feeding in the night.

Perthshire is a stunning setting for any wedding, and the settings for Crieff Hydro possibly makes it the jewel in the crown – or in this case, the Tiara!
So there's not a more perfect location to hold a stunning Scottish wedding – with a slight twist!
Never has it been so known for a true-blue Englishman to be so keen/happy to wear the kilt and adopt his new native culture (did I really see Ewan mouth the words to the Tartan Army's favourite jingle '..Coming Down the Road'..?!!)
A lovely humanist wedding service and afterwards the guests could enjoy the sunshine and champagne on the lawn whilst some even partook in a game of outdoor Table Tennis!
It was a perfect day indeed, very relaxed atmosphere – and Michelle and Ewan soaked up every minute of it (with champagne!) and more.
As the band kicked off I could see that it would take a lot to keep Ewen off the dancefloor – and he might have even wanted a shot of the Microphone later that evening too!

AFBF Convention-Seattle
I returned early last week from the American Farm Buereau Convention in Seattle Washington. It was great getting to see a different part of the country and learn about their agriculture. We visited the trade show and got lots of interesting articles and some great ideas for things to do back home. We also got wonderful prizes...everything from cow stress balls to a Washington Women's Committee Cookbook (which I love). I also participated in the Discussion meet where I advanced to the semifinals. It was a wonderful experience that has provided great insight into agriculture across the county. I am also proud to say that South Carolina had one of the Top 10 farmers in the nation and even though he didn't win overall he was an excellent represnetative SC agriculture. I was pleased that if SC couldn't win a dairy farmer from Kentucky took home top honors. Overall it was a wonderful experience and I can't wait to attend again in the future.
While I was there I got to visit the famous Pike Place Market which was a joy to see. Flying fish, interesting little shops and the sign that boils it all down...Meet the Producer! It was also disheartening. As we where leaving the market we spied a little book shop that in the window had numerous pins and signs shedding a negative light on animal agriculture. We were prelexed as to what to do about this...would explaining the sign and the negative light they were shedding on our industry be enough to get the shop owner to take them down? In the end we decided not to take action and that has bothered me since that time. We must speak up and spread the true story of agriculture. I have said it many time we are the experts and we have to take a stand. So even after my new year's goals I have had to update them to include Take a Stand. I can't let people attempt to destory our industry without a fight. So let the fight begin!!!!

How Long Should It Take To Cool Down My House With Central Air?
Dave Henry Explains in this videos
How long does it take to take a house to cool down from 80 degrees to 75 degrees?
There are a couple of different variables. One is that it depends on how hot it is outside.
Obviously If it's a 100 degree day its going to take longer to cool down vs if it's a 85 to 90 degree day. Air conditioner units will run longer and harder on very hot days then on cooler, not so humid days.
But you are looking typically anywhere between 4-6 hours to cool a house down if it got up to a high temperature.

Not to be one of those annoying hipsters who always tries to act like they're better than everybody else, Farley and Matt, but I was into Humpback Whale way before that 1994 Central Park show, where he was already beginning to "phone it in." I happened to be at the very first Whale show, at CBGBs, which was also captured in this artsy photograph. It was back in the 1970s, or maybe the early 1960s, and Humpback Whale was opening for the Talking Heads, who were also relatively unknown because they hadn't been born yet.
This was back when Humpback Whale was hungry, playing basically for plankton. His skills were still raw. He wasn't as much singing as coughing up salt water, but you could say that there was a tidal wave of excitement in the air, and I don't know anyone who wasn't at that show who didn't walk away that night thinking to themselves, "Wow. I've got seagull droppings all over my shirt." I haven't seen a single show since then that's been half as wet, and nobody can take that away from me.

A Thought From the Desert Fathers
February 10, 2009
(Abba Isaiah) also said 'When God wishes to take pity on a soul and it rebels, not bearing anything and doing its own will, he then allows it to suffer that which it does not want, in order that it may seek him again.'
It strikes me every year as we pull out the Lenten Triodion on the Sunday of the Publican and Pharisee, marking the beginning of the Lenten season, how much rebellion, how much hopeless self-will I continually pursue. Being the unrepentant hedonist that I am, I continually complain and grumble over every little misfortune that comes my way, and yet, all too often I forget to bless and thank God for even the great things he has done for me (to say nothing of learning to actually thank Him for even my adversities). Like a petulant child, I spend large portions of the year neglecting Him, forgetting Him, and relegating Him to my often-unused prayer corner and Sunday mornings.
Picking up the Desert Fathers always makes me realize something else about myself, something else that I'd rather forget, ignore, and lock up in a box under my bed. Today, Abba Isaiah reminds me that it is God's pity which sends misfortune and disaster upon the rebellious man, so that that man will suffer the pangs of desire for that which he ultimately does not want, so that he will come to himself, and realize that what he truly desires is God.
To come to one's self is an important concept. The Gospel tells us that, while lying in the mud with the swine and coveting their food, the Prodigal Son "came to himself" and realized that he would be better off even as a servant in the house of his father. With the Sunday of the Prodigal coming up this weekend, reflecting on such an understanding of the suffering of rebellion takes on a much more poignant meaning to me. Have I come to myself? Or am I only dimly walking about in the shadows of death that permeate the world—that highlight the darkness of the world that I carry within me?
Lord, have mercy upon me, and show the light of Thy countenance upon me, revealing to me that which causes me to separate myself from Thee, that I may bring this brokenness and lay at Thy pierced feet. Amen.
The Value of Tears
March 6, 2008
Justinian recently posted a blog entitled The Value of Tears over on his blog. Here we will post the blog in its entirety:
I'll start this post with a profound confession: I can't remember the last time I cried.
This really troubles me, and did long before I became Orthodox. I simply don't emote this way, and this is probably a result of childhood conditioning. My father, God bless him, didn't believe that boys should ever be seen crying, and so anytime I did cry as a kid, I got his infamous stare of displeasure. Over the years, I suppose, I really internalized this to a new level. I emote, sometimes very strongly, but my emotions usually come pouring out in my writing. Since, however, I gave up my poetic idolatry in the last year, I've been even more disturbed. I half-way expected that, once my substitutionary outlet was removed, without another outlet, surely tears would come.
They have not.
I say all this with the fact that I am very mindful of the value of tears in our Orthodox tradition. Quotes abound from the Fathers about them being the fruits of genuine repentance. St. Isaac the Syrian even has this to say about weeping:
The fruits of the inner man begin only with the shedding of tears. When you reach the place of tears, then know that your spirit has come out from the prison of this world and has set its foot upon the path which leads toward the new Age. Your spirit begins at this moment to breathe the wonderful air which is there, and it starts to shed tears, The moment of birth of the spiritual child is now at hand, and the travail of childbirth becomes intense. Grace, the common mother of all, makes haste to give birth mystically to the soul, God's image, bringing it forth into the light of the Age to come. And when the time for the birth has arrived, the intellect begins to sense something of the things of that other world–as a faint perfume, or as the breath of life which a new-born child receives into its bodily frame. But we are not accustomed to such an experience and, finding it hard to endure, our body is suddenly overcome by a weeping mingled with joy.
Where does this leave me? Certainly, I have felt deep sorrow over my sins; certainly I have sat in prayer, reciting the Canon of Repentance, the 50th Psalm, and praying with my own words that Christ would help me achieve this repentance–that the Theotokos would visit my ailing soul and show me the path to true metanoia.
And yet, no tears.
The Fathers say that man who cannot weep cannot be saved. This thought terrifies me, and I can't help wondering if my inability to get beyond the merely psychological realm of belief–which is shallow, hollow, and no-where near the goal of theosis–isn't somehow connected here.
O God, cleanse thou me a sinner, and have mercy on me.
O God, cleanse thou me a sinner, and have mercy on me.
O God, cleanse thou me a sinner, and have mercy on me.
Pax vobiscum+

Following the breaking news of 3 February 2016, regarding the artificial colouring carried out on olives, we believe it's necessry to ASSURE our customers about the TOTAL NATURALNESS of the color of our products - previously declared in this article - we believe it's also crucial to INFORM our followers, with the necessary information in order to recognize and safely buy NOT COLOURED OLIVES.
NATURAL COLOURS of olives are mainly FOUR:
Olives picked unripe and processed through the Sevillian method (water, salt and sodium hydroxide during the de-bittering stage)
Olives picked when almost ripe and processed through the natural method (only water and salt... slow-food)
Completely unripe olives processed through the Castelvetrano method (water, salt and sodium hydroxide during the sweetening process). During the life cycle of the product the green colour naturally fades to yellow tones
Olives picked when completely ripe and processed through the natural method (only water and salt...slow-food)

On June 9th, 2016 the ex-CEO and president of Monarch Mortgage was indicted on charges that claim he hid over one million dollars in assets when he filed for bankruptcy in 2011 and 2012. After his arrest, Yoder was released on a five thousand dollar bond. His arraignment is scheduled for June 22nd.
In order to understand the story of Ted Yoder, it helps to know some key legal definitions.
What exactly is bankruptcy?
Filing for bankruptcy involves meeting with a lawyer, who compiles the debt you plan to file. If the debt is considered payable with your income, a lawyer will typically advise not filing for bankruptcy. If it is determined that you cannot pay the debt, the case goes to court and is approved. Once approved, essentially all of your debt is eliminated and you owe nothing. However, filing bankruptcy isn't just a magical way to not owe any money. A bankruptcy will stay on your credit for about ten years and affect your ability to get loans, credit card, a home, a car, and virtually anything else that you need credit for.
Chapter 11 bankruptcy is a way to restructure debt in a company or for an individual while under the supervision of a court. Chapter 7 bankruptcy involved the liquidation of assets. Yoder filed for both chapters in 2011 and 2012.
What exactly is bankruptcy fraud?
Bankruptcy fraud is an inherently white-collar crime. There are four different types of bankruptcy fraud. The first type of bankruptcy fraud is the intentional concealing of assets to avoid having those assets taken. This is the most common type of bankruptcy fraud and accounts for nearly seventy percent of all bankruptcy fraud cases. The second type of bankruptcy fraud is intentionally filing false forms or incomplete forms. The third type of bankruptcy fraud is when debtors file multiple times with false information or by filing in various states or provinces. The final type of bankruptcy is the act of bribing a court-appointed trustee.
Bankruptcy fraud is typically done in an attempt to keep assets safe from forfeiture, or to effectively end any debts owed while maintaining wealth. Bankruptcy fraud is often committed by businessmen and executives, or by inherently wealthy people.
The details of Yoder's shifty business
Authorities believe that Yoder has a partnership with someone from Virginia Beach to conceal around three hundred and forty thousand dollars from creditor. Yoder also continued to hide more of his assets on his own. The sought judgement is expected to be around $1,059,000.
Yoder filed for bankruptcy in 2011 after being met with several lawsuits from Bank of Hampton Road. The bank's representatives claimed that they wanted some substantial loans paid back from a development partnership that Yoder approved.
When filing for bankruptcy, Yoder claimed he had nearly three million dollars in assets and four million dollars in liabilities. When that filing was dismissed, Yoder attempted to fill, this time for Chapter 7 bankruptcy instead of Chapter 11, in late 2012.
After working for Monarch, Yoder is accused of selling around 132,000 shares of stock for Sirius between the two bankruptcy filings, as well as wiring the profit of the sale to a friend. Yoder is accused of concealing that transaction or other assets that came into his possession after the first bankruptcy filing, which include federal and state tax refunds.
Upon his release, Yoder was ordered to surrender his passport and remove firearms from his home. Yoder was also ordered to stay in the state of Virginia and abstain from alcohol and drugs under the supervision of a parole officer.
The person that Yoder conspired with to hide his assets was named as Susan Gorby, who plead guilty to bankruptcy fraud and is awaiting sentencing.
The CEO of Monarch Bank and Financial Holdings, Inc., Brad Schwartz, had this to say: "Although Ted Yoder was the President and CEO of Monarch Mortgage from 2007-2011, he has not worked with the company since then. We have no further comment on the charges filed against him today, which are unrelated to his service with Monarch."
Bankruptcy fraud is a popular crime.
Yoder isn't the only hot shot that got caught committing bankruptcy fraud recently. Kent Lindemuth, a real estate developer from Topeka, Kansas, was arrested for one hundred and three counts of bankruptcy fraud earlier this year. Lindemuth filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in late November 2012 and claimed that his debt accumulated to nearly four million dollars. Lindmuth is accused of purchasing nearly a hundred firearms worth approximately eighty thousand dollars less than a year after he filed for bankruptcy. Lindmuth concealed these assets from creditors.
The punishment for bankruptcy fraud is very severe, as bankruptcy fraud and fraud of any kind are considered very serious offenses. The maximum penalty for a count of bankruptcy fraud is $250,000 and five years in a federal penitentiary.
While bankruptcy fraud is a crime favorite of the super wealthy, bankruptcy fraud can be committed completely by accident. Fraudulent errors can be avoided by doing any and all bankruptcy paperwork correctly. The best decision someone considering bankruptcy fraud could make is to consult with a Phoenix bankruptcy lawyer for advice on how to make sure you do not make very costly mistakes or omissions.

Gutted. Deflated. Words escape.
If you're an MLS fan, you're no doubt still in shock over how Real Salt Lake failed to close out Monterrey in the CONCACAF Champions League finals. No team in the history of MLS had ever been constructed for success in the tournament until this one, and RSL still couldn't become the first to win it.
But there are some things that can happen immediately that will strengthen the Beautiful Game in our league. Some are bold steps that require visionary undertakings by the game's power brokers; some are common sense. There's a lot to this recipe, but one place we can start is here at home. Here's a four-step, outside-the-box, build-from-within proposal to creating perpetual winners in the CCL.
1. Pass on hosting the Gold Cup.
What starts at the international level trickles down to the club level. The USA has either hosted or co-hosted the last 10 CONCACAF Gold Cups and will entertain an 11th on home soil in June. And that needs to stop. Having the federation's top international event stateside is great for economic reasons. What it's not good for is competitive reasons.
It's time to test the USMNT away from home. The US may be a top power in the region, but it's also no coincidence that they have been in the final in seven of the last 10 Gold Cups – playing in front of home fans is a nice cushion, even if some of those "home fans" are cheering against you.
The US need to learn to win tough games at Estadio Azteca and Estadio Cuscatlán, not just tough ones at Soldier Field and the Rose Bowl. What a bold step it would be if the USSF declined to host the Gold Cup once in a while for these very reasons.
That would force CONCACAF back to rotating the tournament, and taking it first to Mexico or Canada – the only other nations with immediately sufficient infrastructure – and maybe eventually to other nations within the federation.
Become accustomed to big games in hostile territory. If more players understand what kind of mental fortitude that requires, they'll become stronger. A knockout game in Estadio Saprissa will still be terrifying, but it will be less of the mythical beast it is currently.
2. Reserve a DP slot for Americans and Canadians.
No doubt the Designated Player rule has brought stars into MLS from abroad and increased the league's profile. What it hasn't really done is shine a light on domestic standouts. Of the 28 DPs in league history, a scant three have been American or Canadian. Attracting those big names is great, but encouraging our own stars to come home – or stay put – is arguably better in the long run.
MLS could perhaps designate that one of each club's DP slots be reserved for Americans or Canadians, thereby guaranteeing that at least one high-paid player on each team is a domestic star. Australia's A-League instituted such a policy this past season, allowing each team to sign – in addition to a "Marquee Player," the league's equivalent of a DP – an "Australian Marquee," whose salary is similarly mostly exempt from the salary cap.
Imagine what MLS would look like if every team had at least one DP that was a big-name US or Canadian national-teamer. That would send a message to the top domestic-born talent that they don't necessarily have to go abroad for bigger opportunities. A league with the best domestic players mixed with the best international players is the ideal combo for victory.
3. Pitch FIFA to host the Club World Cup.
Still stunned RSL won't be the first MLS team participating in the Club World Cup? There's an easier way to give an MLS team a taste of the annual showcase: by hosting it. In its six-year history, the CWC has rotated from Japan to the United Arab Emirates and back to Japan. After the 2012 edition, the hosting privileges appear to be up for grabs.
That's where the USSF or CSA can step in. Our own Armchair Analyst made the point in December that the CWC is a natural fit for the US (or Canada), where the fans will descend like army ants to see the Barcelonas, Manchester Uniteds, Boca Juniors, São Paulos and Monterreys of the world play in a meaningful competition in familiar venues.
The host nation's domestic champion automatically earns a spot in the CWC. Until MLS fields a CCL winner of its own, this is the guaranteed way to get a team into the competition against the globe's champions. Give MLS that quick taste, and the desire to return will be that much greater.
4. Win something meaningful ASAP.
Real Salt Lake GM Garth Lagerwey hit the nail on the head on two fronts this past week: The time for moral victories and almost-history is over. The US need to take the next step in international play. The simple fact remains that, despite the USMNT's great strides and miracle runs in numerous tournaments in recent years, no US men's team has won a major international competition outside of CONCACAF at any level.
And that needs to change. No longer can fans be content with a Round of 16 finish at a World Cup or simply winning the Gold Cup. And not qualifying for a U-20 World Cup must be viewed as nothing less than an utter failure. The time is now for the US to figure out a way to win one of these things.
That taste of victory will change everything. As far as the Beautiful Game here is concerned, it would set the best precedent possible: This is a nation of winners.

I was privileged to spend my evening in the company of some very special people in Nottingham at The Bigger Picture last night where Geoff Thomas and our CEO Cathy Gilman were among the speakers.
As part of Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research presents The Bigger Picture, we held an event at the Murcure Hotel in Nottingham City Centre. I was joined by lots of our supporters and met quite a few people who I have spent many weeks speaking to but never met in person. There were also quite a few new people who attended to find out more about who we are what we do and in general what we are about!
The evening was extremely inspirational. We had some amazing speakers, Cathy Gilman and Chris Bunce talking about our research it's importance and how valued and essential support is.Geoff Thomas, talking about his own personal experiences with blood cancer and how this has inspired him to fundraise for our organisation. There was also an amazingly personal and very touching talk by Leanne and Billy Hogan, about their son Joe and his battle with ALL.
In the words of Leanne Hogan, 'Our aim is to beat blood cancer, so that no one has to go through what Joe went through. Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research's aim is to beat blood cancer, therefore we will continue on this journey together until we have succeeded.'
Thanks to everyone who attended, and for sharing such personal journeys of why you support our charity and why it matters so much. I think it has put some fire in all our bellies!

Link: Post by Marizanne Knoesen: From The Disillusioned Generation to The Newly Empowered Entrepreneurs of Tomorrow
Millennials have been 'sold' a recipe for success when growing up – work hard, get good grades and cushion your CV with some extra curricular activities and after university you'll get a good entry level job…or so it went.
There are three reasons why the above recipe has failed to deliver. Millennials are entering the job market during one of the biggest economic shifts of the past 50 years and they are competing against a global workforce – not the local and small pool of competing workers that their parents and grandparents knew. Lastly they are sandwiched between the world that was and the world that will be, a world increasingly characterized by the military term, VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity) and a transition to transient advantages (as Rita Gunter McGrath writes here).
To illustrate this dynamic between the old and new world, let's look at an example. On the one hand, the job market wants Millennials to play by the rules: "Upload your CV, in format X and do not send us anything unsolicited." On the other hand they want Millennials to demonstrate their creativity and out-of-the-box thinking (there's a woman who landed a job by sending the CEO a plastic arm and leg with the note 'I'll give an arm and a leg for 30 minutes of your time'). True story. Regardless of the approach taken, what is it like when Millennials try to enter the job market?

In 2007, the Pomme de Terre was the first major watershed area to complete the first round of the Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategy (WRAPS) report. This MPCA-lead program allows watershed areas to monitor existing water conditions, find priority areas, and provides strategies best suited for tackling issues effecting water quality on a 10-year cycle.
Now, in 2017, the Pomme de Terre has started it's second round of WRAPS that will give us an updated view on what's happening in the watershed and where we need to go from here.
PDTRA is monitoring 30+ sites throughout the 2017 and 2018 field season to gain valuable information on stream health. Parameters such as E. coli, Phosphorous, pH, Chloride, and more are being monitored to find if they are exceeding natural and safe levels.
Monitoring is an important part water resource management.With the information provided through monitoring efforts PDTRA and involved organization can determine where conservation efforts should be focused in order to make the most impact on water quality and quantity
For the 2nd cycle of WRAPS, PDTRA is completing the chemistry investigation throughout the watershed. Other agencies such as MPCA and DNR are also completing biological and geomorphological surveys that will add in completing the WRAPS report.
The WRAPS proccess is completed every 10 year. the PdT completed our first round in 2007, and began our second round in 2017
Phosphorous and Nitrogen are natural occurring nutrients in any environment. Natural amounts of nutrients supports growth of aquatic plants and algae that provide food and habitat for fish and other aquatic organisms.
However too much of anything can have negative consequences. Excessive nutrients in our aquatic systems produce larger and faster-growing algae than the ecosystem can manage.These algae blooms can prevent sunlight from reaching other plants,leading to severely reducing or eliminate oxygen levels in water, fish kills, a large decrease in the quality of recreation-ability, and ultimately reducing water quality.
Excessive nutrients can enter our waterways through a mix of storm-water runoff, field runoff, and eroding banks but can be controlled through certain Best Management Practices. Some of the lakes within our watershed that are effected by excessive nutrients include North Turtle Lake, Lake Christina, and Perkins Lake.
Turbidity is caused by suspended or dissolved particles in water that cause lakes, rivers, and streams to look cloudy. These particles, most often in the form of sediments, enter water bodies from both the natural background such as a stream bank and accelerated human-induced disturbance.
In the field, turbidity is tested by how clear or murky the water is by measuring with either a secchi tube, for streams, or secchi disk, for lakes. A secchi tube is a 1 meter long clear plastic tube. After filling up the tube with stream water the observer lowers a a small disk on a string until the point where the disk disappears. The same procedure applies to lakes without the tube.
High turbidity can significantly reduce the aesthetic quality of lakes, rivers, and streams, have a harmful impact on aquatic life by impacting gills and spawning beds or impacting light nessicary for native aquatic vegetation. This in return can effect recreation, and tourism. The Lower Pomme de Terre River and Drywood Sub-Watershed have shown high turbidity through the Pomme de Terre WRAPS. (Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategy)
E.coli is a common bacteria found in the digestive system of humans and animals. A high presence of E.coli can be a strong indication of recent sewage or animal waste contamination.
We collect E.coli samples as part of our Cycle 2 WRAPS from sections of the Pomme de Terre River and streams in the watershed to determine E.Coli levels that are present in 100 mL of water. Samples are shipped to laboratories to perform culturing of these samples.
The health of our waters effects the health of our communities. High levels of E.coli in nearby waterways could affect important aspects of our community such as drinking water and recreation. From previous intensive watershed monitoring and Cycle 1 WRAPS The Lower Pomme de Terre River and Drywood Sub-Watershed were considered impaired for high E.coli.
Many parameters of water quality can be measured directly In the field using an sonde electric field meter with specific sensors.
Temperature: the temperature is always changing with the seasons, but too warm of waters for too long can have adverse effects on aquatic life.
Specific Conductivity: Conductivity measures the waters ability to conduct electricity. This gives us information on salinity (concentration of dissolved salts). A higher conductivity value indicates that there are more chemicals dissolved in the water. Common ions in water that lead to higher conductivity include sodium, chloride, calcium, and magnesium.
pH: pH tells us how basic or acidic our water is. pH can be affected by number of things from the composition of the stream bed, plant growth, decomposing organic materials releasing Carbon Dioxide, and outside chemicals that may be entering our streams. Most aquatic life is sensitive to the changes in pH level and an imbalance could become toxic to many species.
Biological assessments of streams and lakes can help determine the current state of our water quality. MPCA and DNR staff sample populations of fish and macroinvertebrates to gain a better understanding what effects the current water quality has on the biodiversity of a water body. In example, macroinvertebrates such as midges and aquatic worms have a higher tolerance to pollution and poor water quality as opposed to mayflies and stonefly's (pictured right) whom have a very low tolerance. If, through a series of sampling events, a stream reach is found to have an abundant number of high-tolerant species and a lack of mayflies or other low-tolerant macroinvertebrate then it may be an indicator of poor water quality.
Measurements for fish and macroinvertebrate assessments are recorded as "IBI" – Index of Biological Integrity and are a part of the Pomme de Terre River Watershed Monitoring and Assessment Report.

I'm not precisely confident when we purchased the HealthRider exercising machine you can see in the images under. To do: Stand in a slightly wider than shoulder-width stance and grasp the handles of the pulley or tubing with both hands, your side toward the tubing attachment point, arms straight in front of you. Pro Tip: Doing this workout also causes your hips to flex, which brings in the muscles that perform that region, the psoas and the front of the quadriceps in particular.
After warmed up, stay away from generating these widespread errors when working out with the leg adduction/leg abduction fitness center gear: not making use of enough weight, opening your legs too wide, and doing the workout also rapidly. No matter whether you want to create big arms rapidly or you want to start off toning your arms & shoulders.
Suited to folks of all ages and fitness levels, an upright exercising bike offers low-impact cardiovascular instruction to help boost your fitness levels and leg muscle strength. The only point you need to have to be careful of is employing appropriate type, as this is an exercising which can hurt you if done incorrectly. The only time I would use machines to train the reduce physique is in some sort of rehab predicament where an imbalance have to be corrected.
Working the legs on a machine is type of like going to law college to grow to be an engineer. From this position, lift your legs and bend your knees to a 45-degree angle, and then carry out a pedaling motion (as if you are on a bicycle) while alternating touching your elbows to the opposite knees, twisting back and forth. I love my bike and would advocate it to any person that is seeking for an at residence physical exercise bike for themselves.
Leg raises, reverse crunches, and cross-knee crunches are all just as or more successful than the rewards gained by employing an ab machines. I picked up a pulse monitor in the style of a watch (I don't use brand names) and it also has a problem reading my pulse, despite the fact that it is much better than any fitness center machine I've utilized.…

About Us
The Lutheran Church has proclaimed the Gospel in the Klamath Basin for almost 120 years. In 1893, Pastor Edward Doering began visiting the Basin preaching the truth of the Gospel. He was the first Missouri Synod Lutheran missionary in the state of Oregon—and probably the first Lutheran pastor to serve the Basin (a Norwegian Lutheran pastor would come to Klamath around 1911). Pastor Doering would take the train from Montague, California, southwest of here, through Ager, to Shovel Creek near Butte Valley. Then he would walk or catch a ride the rest of the way—more than 40 miles—to Klamath Falls. He would often end up at the Hagelstein Ranch just north of town in what would come to be called Algoma. After nine years of ministry, on horseback and riding the rails, he could count 20 Lutheran families in the Klamath Basin and wrote to the district office that they might be ready to have their own church and pastor. Pastor Doering would continue to conduct services in living rooms, baptizing and administering the Lord's Supper, until 1917 [the 400th anniversary of the Reformation]. During that vacancy, numerous pastors and missionaries served the Lutherans here in the Basin, often coming from as far away as Portland. It wasn't until 1924 that a chapel and parsonage was built on this site, on the corner of 11th and High Streets, the foundation of which sits under our offices and classrooms today. From very early on, services were conducted in both German and English. The church was officially established as Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Unaltered Augsburg Confesions on 04 May 1924. We broke ground on our current building in 1946. The cornerstone was laid in 1947. And, the first worship services were held in our new sanctuary in 1948. Our distinctive lavender and grey lava stone comes from Black Butte, California, 75 miles south of Klamath Falls.

NetApp locks down Decru for $272M
NetApp will acquire storage encryption startup Decru for $272M, stepping up its ability to secure customer data at rest.
Network Appliance Inc. (NetApp) plans to acquire storage encryption startup Decru Inc. for approximately $272 million in cash and stock, reflecting the increasing role security is playing in storage.
The deal comes in the wake of many high-profile security breaches and government regulations that are driving organizations to implement better security.
"Network Appliance realizes that owning the bits means securing the bits," said Jon Oltsik, senior analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group. "This is a really immature market but has the potential to be huge."
Decru has about a hundred customers and expects revenues in the region of $6 million this year. NetApp projects this will increase to $35 million in 2006. "They were far ahead of the competition in their penetration of the customer base," said Suresh Vasudevan, senior vice president of product management. at NetApp.
NetApp maintains that Decru's technology is also superior to other companies selling similar storage encryption products, including NeoScale Systems Inc., Kasten Chase Applied Research Ltd. and Vormetric Inc. "They support NAS, SAN and iSCSI storage, crypto-shredding and enterprise-wide key management," Vasudevan said. He added that Decru is the only storage encryption startup to have 5015.2 and federal information processing standard certifications, both critical for federal government agencies managing classified data.
Over the last year, NetApp and Decru have developed combined offerings, most recently for the credit card industry. On June 7, the companies jointly announced an integrated offering for secure processing and storage of credit card data in compliance with Visa and Mastercard Payment Card Industry security standards.
As far as integration goes, NetApp plans to keep Decru as a separate business unit for the time being. Vasudevan admits that NetApp must reconcile how to bring together Decru's encryption technology with the idea of classifying, searching and providing data de-duplication capabilities, all on NetApp's road map.
"Encryption makes it impossible to go through and index and de-duplicate data, the longer term question is how to combine these," he said.
The acquisition adds to NetApp's data protection portfolio, which includes its NearStore disk-based backup appliance; SnapSuite software for data replication, mirroring, and restoration; NetCache appliance for protection from Internet viruses and attacks; and LockVault, which provides write once, read many capabilities for safeguarding regulated data.
Decru was founded in 2001 and has raised around $45 million in venture financing from Benchmark Capital, Greylock, New Enterprise Associates, In-Q-Tel and others. The acquisition is expected to close by October 2005, subject to customary closing conditions.

The Session: First and foremost, I like to keep things fun, light, and creative! I shoot on location; your home, a park, a favorite section of town, my neighborhood (my home backs up to the trail system). Not sure where you want your session to take place? I can suggest several locations around Whatcom County that make for beautiful backdrops. Plan on a session lasting an hour. Sometimes half an hour is all the time a little one wishes to spend in front of the camera. Sometimes a baby needs to squeeze in a feeding, or fall asleep, or wake up and an hour just isn't long enough! As a mom of youngsters, I completely understand the flexibility required when working with children. We shoot until I am satisfied!
What to Wear: I do have a few accessories and props on hand for kiddos, but you have closets full! Feel free to dress your little ones in whimsical outfits, bright colors, tutus, costumes, bare feet…whatever suits their personalities! For family sessions, it is not necessary that everyone wear the same outfit, but coordinating colors, free of loud prints/logos/characters make for a much nicer family portrait. I have several links on my Pinterest page about choosing outfits for family sessions! Check it out!
Satisfaction: I want you to be in love with your pictures. If you are ever unhappy with a photo session, I will happily do a make-up session or refund your session fee. I also welcome any feedback, comments, or suggestions that you may have.
