Podcast: Download (Duration: 18:46 — 17.3MB)
Director John Sayles is delving into history again, and this time it's a little bit of American adventurism in the early twentieth century that's frequently glossed over in the history books: the Philippine-American War. In AMIGO, Filipino actor Joel Torre plays Rafael, the mayor of a small village who's forced to accommodate a troop of American soldiers, an act that puts him into deadly opposition with his brother (Ronnie Lazaro), the leader of a local guerrilla group fighting the invasion. As the Americans – prime amongst them an open-minded lieutenant (Garret Dillahunt) and a gung-ho colonel (Chris Cooper) – struggle both to attain tactical advantage in their battles while winning the civilian population over to their side, there are no few parallels to recent U.S. overseas history. In this case, though, we get to see the conflict through the eyes of the invaded, and learn how people trying just to live their lives can wind up in the center of a no-win situation.

Originally hailing from a small village in the great state of Ohio, Joe Schaefer found himself afflicted at an early age with an insatiable thirst for all things East Asia. He made his way to Japan as soon as he was able, relishing in the heady soup of neon, manga, and intrusive tentacles. It was true love, but the allure of adventure proved too great, and soon Joe found himself in the Middle Kingdom – better known as China – the birthplace of kung fu, dragons, and General Tsou.
When he's not performing stand up or improv comedy with the People's Republic of Comedy, Joe is a writer, editor and sometimes presenter for ICS (International Channel Shanghai). He's also a freelance illustrator, writer and voice talent.

#Blogmas Day 17: How To Study Over Christmas
Christmas: the time of year to relax. Wrong! I've not had a year out of education yet so Christmas time for me is revision time for January exams! I do try to balance fun and festivities with work. Because I've been doing this for years, I think I've gotten into a routine before I start any studying so I thought I would share my words of wisdom with you all!
1. Get a diary before you do anything else. Before you start your revision, buy a diary and write everything you plan on doing over Christmas. Jot down any birthdays, parties, work shifts, family gatherings, days out, literally anything you have already planned. This will show you how much free time you have and how much time you will spend revising. Don't forget to schedule in some personal time every day, whether you spend a whole night watching films or just a spare half an hour to put on a face mask or paint your nails.
2. Write down every topic you need to study. If you have a bunch of exams, write down every subject as a heading and then jot down every module within it. For me I have 5 exams over the course of two weeks but only two have a lot of Powerpoints to go back over. If you list them, you can figure out how many topics you need to cover every day to make you get it all done!
3. Get essays done first before starting exam revision. If you get assignments written up first, you don't have to worry about them for the entire Christmas break! It's less painful is you just get it done asap!
4. When you're travelling, do some revision then! As long as you're not driving, trains are the perfect commute to get work done on. Flashcards are great for train journeys because they don't take up much room in your bag either or you could catch up on any reading you might have.
5. Don't study one subject all day long. Switch it up so you don't get bored! Try revising one subject in the morning and one in the afternoon. If you have quite a lot of exams, try revising an hour on each.
6. If you're at uni and have tonnes of work still to do, go back early! Make use of the library before the majority of students get back: it will be empty, quiet and you'll manage to get plenty of desk space or a computer! When I was at uni, I lived in the library during holidays such as Christmas and Easter so I didn't get distracted at home!
7. Take regular breaks. Don't revise for hours on end; you'll get bored and lose focus. I find that revising in 50 minute blocks and then taking a 10 minute break, either to text a phone, grab a snack or stretch my legs, keeps me awake and alert.
8. Take proper care of yourself. It's easy to forget about your health when you're so focused on work and revision. Drink plenty of water, fit in a workout (I do a workout before lunch when I'm revising or after tea) and make sure you get a sleeping pattern sorted. (6-8 hours people!) Don't stay up for an all-nighter because t's just not effective!
9. Choose a study spot that works for you. For me, I like being at home at my desk but I do love mixing it up and going to a coffee shop in town for a treat. When I was at uni, going to the library kept me focused on my revision and not watching TV!
10. Make it as fun as possible. I love to make flashcards with coloured pens or create mind maps on coloured paper. Colour-coordinating certain words actually helps me to remember key facts!

Ken Baier Said,
Great pictures Barb & Steve – sounds like you're having a great time! This area is definitely on my to do list if I ever make it over to Europe again. Have a great time driving through the English countryside. The English should be a little happier today since their "football" team is advancing to the knockout round. Too bad their first round match is against the Germans!

If you've never dreamed of playing in a winter wonderland as a kid (or now, for that matter), you probably didn't watch enough Disney movies. Some might shiver at the idea... However, others know that there are many unique adventures to experience in areas where it is really, truly cold outside.
If you're seeking a snowy paradise, then 'Lapland' is about as good as it gets. You might be wondering… where is Lapland exactly? Lapland is the largest and northernmost region in Finland. Most of Lapland is located within the arctic circle, which is the reason for its cold- and wintry climate. The winter is approximately 7 months long. Besides just playing in the snow, there are many fun and one-of-a-kind activities to experience. We've rounded up a list of things to do in Finnish Lapland.
Believe it or not, in Lapland, there are more reindeer than there are people! Not only are the animals in abundance, but they are also an integral part of the culture in Lapland. They have been means of transportation as well as nourishment for centuries. There are many reindeer farms you can visit where you can interact with the animals and go on sleigh rides. Many indigenous people still travel by reindeer, there are even designated reindeer parking spots!
As mentioned before, Lapland is located within the arctic circle. Which means prime northern lights viewing opportunities. The auroras are visible in Finnish Lapland for 200 days out of the year, so plenty of chances to see them with your own eyes!
There are many snow-filled activities to enjoy while visiting Lapland. You can ride a snowmobile or go downhill-, cross country- or freestyle skiing and snowboarding.
In case you didn't know, Santa Claus' official hometown is Lapland's capital and largest city, Rovaniemi. Here you can personally meet the man himself every day of the year in the Santa Claus Village.
A trip to Lapland wouldn't be complete without visiting a Finnish spa. Now, in Finland, they don't joke around with their saunas. Traditional Finnish saunas are known for being extremely hot. Locals also jump into frozen lakes or roll in the snow in between sauna sessions.
Fans of Rudolph might find this disturbing, but reindeer is very much loved by Lappish people and an integral part of Lappish cuisine. Locals prepare this meat in many different ways, including stews, roasted and tartare. Equally famous is the local salmon, which is super fresh due to Lapland's pure waters.
The indigenous people of Finland, the Sami, are Europe's northernmost indigenous people. They are also one of the very few indigenous populations in Europe that are still thriving. There are about 10,000 Sami still living in Lapland and you can learn much about their culture in local museums.

A nationally renowned tailwater that fishes an unbelievable 365 days a year. Cast to trophy browns and bows in an unsoiled and dramatic high desert setting. The Quality Water stretch of the Juan boasts prolific midge and blue wing olive hatches.
Our experienced guides accommodate float or wade fisherman from novice to experienced anglers.
An 11 mile float through private water on the lower San Juan River is also available. This is a full day trip because of the distance covered.
The lower river sees much less angler pressure and provides epic blue winged olive, caddis, pale morning dun and midge hatches.
Quality Water Section - float or wade full day
Private Water Lower Section - float
Magic Hour (6:00-8:30pm) - float or wade:
The San Juan is fishing well right now. The water is still a little off color due to lake turnover, normal for this time of year. Best pattern has been a black bunny leech. Red Larva size 18-20, Big Mac Pupa 20-22, and cream pupa 20-22 have all been producing nice fish. I've also had some luck...

Cafes are an integral part of the Williamsburg lifestyle. They offer more than just a place to dose up on good java—but also a space to do freelance work, write, people-watch, and maybe meet that date from OkCupid. Get a great cup of coffee and join the locals at one of these buzzy daytime dens.
Toby's Estate
The feel at this trendy coffee spot is like a designer showroom, with loft ceilings, gallery bookshelves, and an artful mix of modern and reclaimed wooden furniture. An impeccably stylish crowd (including those who can rock a fedora without looking like a jerk) regularly pack the place, making it difficult to get a seat. Take your place in line at the counter with its grand stainless steel machines, where you can order a truly amazing cappuccino and hope that faux-hawked toddler vacates his chair by the window.
125 North 6th St., Brooklyn, NY; 347-457-6160; L subway to Bedford Ave.; Open: Mon–Fri 7 am–7 pm, Sat & Sun 8 am–8 pm; Website: http://www.tobysestate.com
The West
If you are heading here along Union Avenue and are lured in by the new Starbucks on the way, then you are missing the Brookyln-y-goodness of independent coffeehouses like The West. Named for the Brooklyn-born actress, Mae West, this cozy space is accented by vintage fixtures and lined with high wood tables. Daytimers flock here for the strong coffee from Brooklyn Roasting Co., the alt-to-80s-synth soundtrack, and the eclectic community of creatives who come to work and mingle. Stay for happy hour when the tattooed baristas are joined by tattooed bartenders serving craft beer and cocktails.
379 Union Ave., Brooklyn, NY; L subway to Lorimer St.; Open daily 7 am–2 am; Website: www.thewestbrooklyn.com.
Blue Bottle Coffee
It's hard to tell by looking at someone if they are a coffee snob, but it turns out the label includes a wide cross-section of folks—investment bankers, skate-boarders, new moms with yoga mats, graphic designers, and European tourists just off the East River Ferry. But they all come here to sit at the sleek, industrial counter at this hotspot known for its onsite coffee roasting and local brand cache. If you take your joe as seriously as these guys, like you think "coffee is God," then you might not mind the heavy dose of smugness that's served with your espresso.
160 Berry Street, Brooklyn, NY; L subway to Bedford Ave.; 718-387-4160; Open Mon–Fri 7 am–7 pm, Sat & Sun 8 am–7 pm; Website: http://www.bluebottlecoffee.com
Atlas Cafe
On the great people-watching corner of Havemeyer and Grand Streets sits Atlas, the quintessential divey cafe. Old wooden tables (that are sometimes rickety or sticky) fill the space with a large vintage world map decorating the back wall. One of the vestiges of the Williamsburg hipster glory days, the spot remains popular with a laid-back crowd partial to flannel shirts and beards, as well as 20-something laptop junkies in cute vintage blouses. The coffee and baked goods are pretty darn good and you can usually get a seat, except on the weekends and in nice weather when the outside cafe tables become prime real estate. This place is so authentic—I saw Blake Lively here once. So, there you go.
116 Havemeyer St., Brooklyn, NY; subways: J/M to Marcy Ave. or L subway to Bedford Ave.; 718-782-7470; Open: 7 am–10 pm; Website: http://www.atlas-cafe.com
Gimme! Coffee
The coffee at Gimme! is excellent, especially their cold brew. In case you need more reasons to say "Gimme!," they also have tasty treats like homemade doughnuts. Seating is limited at this small java room, so you may have to get your order for takeout. But there's much to see in Williamsburg, so stop hanging around in all these cool cafes.
107 Roebling St, Williamsburg, Brooklyn; ; L subway to Bedford Ave.; 718-388-4595; Open Mon–Fri 7 am–6:30 pm, Sat & Sun 8 am–7 pm; Website: http://www.gimmecoffee.com

The snows are starting to melt and very soon children will be back at play at the Rhinebeck Playground. Located right behind the Starr Library, the Rhinebeck Playground has been amusing kids and parents alike.
There are swings and slides and ample room to run around. Of course, for the parents and grandparents, there are benches and picnic tables where you can sit and relax while watching the children at play.
Have fun! And pray for an early spring!

Pure vanilla extract
If you have pure vanilla extract in the back of the cupboard, there's no need to throw it out because it lasts forever. It may be more expensive than its imitation counterpart, but its shelf life certainly outweighs the extra cost. Keep that vanilla flavor at its best by sealing the bottle after each use and storing it in a cool, dark place.

Where Would We Find Cat Pictures?
The major TV news outlets do not cover the raging debate about SOPA and PIPA legislation currently being debated in Congress. Perhaps because the major news outlets are owned by media companies in favor of the laws, or perhaps because Internet stories are just too techy and boring. These laws (one for the House and one for the Senate, yay!) purport to protect copyright holders, but they are terribly bad for business and innovation on the Internet.
As Congress debates protecting something or other from someone or other on the intertubes, they seem all too happy to be downloading tons of illegally pirated content all the while (Even porn? why, yes!). When tech leaders are firing with both barrels at how bad this legislation is for business, and when almost 10% of active Senator's campaign costs were paid by lobbyists for these bills, it prompts some tech companies to consider dramatic action.
Time Magazine openly wonders if Google, Facebook and Twitter were to go offline, on purpose, to protest these laws. You might think, 'So What?'. But judging by the howls of protest just when Facebook moves a link around, if it were to intentionally go dark it would get some attention. And if Google were to do the same, the outcry would not just be from disgruntled friends missing out on stories of last night's party antics, or cute cat pictures, or recipes, the roar would be from Fortune 500 companies, and from literally millions of people and businesses who make a living on the internet. Whether directly from advertising, or from the online commerce that is driven by Google Search, the humble looking site is a multi-billion dollar economic juggernaut.
If you think that is not likely, think again. Popular social news site Reddit.com is planning to do just that. On January 18th, Reddit will shutter their site on purpose, and in its place they will be posting information about this legislation, to spur its users to action. You may not know about this site (it is not as mainstream as Digg.com), but it has a very vocal audience. The political theater around this legislation may be routine for Washington, but legions of Internet geeks are awakening as sleeping tigers.

Africa: 'Agriculture possesses greater potential for Continent's transformation'
By Omoh Gabriel
Agriculture and agri-business have been identified as vehicle that offers the biggest transformational potential for Africa, with an even greater positive impact on ordinary people's lives than the mobile phone boom.
At an investor forum organised by Africa investor recently, the World Bank Vice President for Africa Ms Obiageli Ezekwesili said "If you ask me what the next 'big thing' in Africa will be, I'd say without hesitation agriculture and agri-business," The World Bank is bullish on Africa," Ms Ezekwesili told participants at the summit, which took place alongside the Annual Meetings of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund.
Africa is "on the cusp of an economic transformation", summit participants noted, suggesting that the continent is probably at the same point where India and China were 20 and 30 years ago respectively, just before their own economic take-off.
"We can now boldly say with confidence that Africa has awakened, Ms Ezekwesili said. "Her time has not only come but that continent is actually the future." Mobile phones which today serve 450 million Africans (i.e. more than the US, Canada and Mexico combined have proven the most liberating asset for the poor, who use it not only for communication but also as a social, economic, banking and even political tool.
Its impact however, could prove to be minor, compared to the massive potential inherent in the agriculture sector. Agriculture currently accounts for about 40 per cent of the region's GDP and is a source of jobs and livelihoods for 70 per cent of Africans. With only one-fourth of its arable land currently in use, contributing a mere 10 per cent to global food production, it is clear that Africa's enormous potential essentially lies fallow.
The most dividends in agriculture and the agribusiness sector—as with mobile phones—will accrue for the "early bird" investors, Ezekwesili said.
A holistic approach is needed if the modernization of Africa's agriculture sector is to raise productivity, ensure food security, expand exports, raise incomes and profoundly improves living conditions in rural Africa, she noted.
According to Ezekwesili, smallholder farmers must gain access, not only to more productive seeds and other farm inputs, but also to finance, irrigation, research and technology. Equally important are land reforms, the building and maintenance of adequate infrastructure (farm_to_market roads, for example), and the implementation of effective post_harvest marketing strategies.
Rosa Whitaker, one of the original architects of AGOA, outlined a series of proposed US tax incentives to award investors who invest in Africa or retailers who source products from Africa. And Paul Collier, author of The Bottom Billion, made a very compelling case for a "Super AGOA" that would grant Africa preferential market access across the entire OECD. Right on!

It was a year ago. The day after Mother's Day. She was getting ready to move out-of-state and wanted to have a visit with him, her son; our son. You see, our son has two mothers. One birthmother, one adoptive mother. Both real. Both full of love for him.
We are blessed to have a fairly open adoption. One thing that has surprised me about adoption is the conflicting emotions I sometimes feel. Elation at the gift of our son, but sadness for his birthmom and him and what they have lost through adoption. Gain and loss mixed so closely together.
Some days I wish I could pretend that I am his only mom. But that is not true. We both hold roles in his life that the other cannot fill. I did not carry him in the womb, but I carried him home in my arms. I did not birth him, but I will raise him. My skin does not match his, but my love for him is vibrant in color. I do not know all the details of his medical history, but I memorize the details of his face and mannerisms.
She and I, we both mother this one. She, so brave in the giving. Me, courageous in the receiving. Sometimes it is hard to share, but, He is helping us.
On Mother's Day, in particular, we honor our son's birthmother. I send a message and we thank her for her role, her place in his life and in our lives.
My son has two mothers. This fact has grown me in surprising ways. It is our beautifully hard truth.
Take a moment to talk to God about how this reality affects you.
Ask the Lord to give you a verse to stand on, so that when the hard times come, you can remember His Words of hope.
Romans 12:12 "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer."

Upper Allegheny Health System (UAHS) today announced that William F. Mills, M.D., MMM, CPE, FACPE, CMSL, FAAFP, Senior Vice President of Quality and Professional Affairs, has earned a fellowship in the American College of Physician Executives (ACPE). The fellowship recognizes Dr. Mills for his significant contributions to the field of medical management and is a reflection of outstanding leadership in the health care field.

Finan, president and CEO of Upper Allegheny Health System and member hospitals Bradford Regional Medical Center and Olean General Hospital.

He will be presenting the topic "How to Safely and Strategically Privilege Low and No Volume Practitioners" at the Credentialing Resource Center's Annual Symposium in Las Vegas this May. Dr. Mills was also a member of the task force planning ACPE's 2011 annual meeting, and mentors physicians in medical staff leadership locally and nationally.
Dr. Mills joined Olean General Hospital in September of 2007 as Vice President of Medical Affairs, and transitioned to his role at UAHS when the organization was created in 2009.

Dr. Mills graduated from Hahnemann University School of Medicine and completed his family practice residency at the West Jersey Health System. Additionally, he holds a Master of Medical Management degree from the Marshall School of Business, University of Southern California. Dr. Mills is certified by the American Board of Family Medicine, and is also a fellow in the American Academy of Family Physicians.

Just to wrap up the last set of blog posts on how many ebook sales you can expect from a specified sales rank, I thought I would just compare the pluses and minuses of Amazon sales rank performance on the different Amazons. The series started On This Link
We know that by far the biggest market for ebooks is the USA. Below is the relative quantity of ebook sales by Amazon in 2017 by English speaking region. Bear in mind Germany is a bigger market than the UK. Japan is nearly as big. There will be more on these two markets in a later post.
In fact Amazon USA made five ebook sales for every one ebook sale in the UK.
The relative sizes of the USA and UK markets have interesting consequences for ebook sales ranking. In essence it would appear to be far easier to get on a best seller list in the UK than in the USA. But the consequence of this is that for a given sales rank you will be selling far less copies in the UK than on Amazon USA.
So there you go. Selling in the UK market has its good and bad points.
It is good because you get a higher sales ranking and so greater visibility in the UK.
But remember that visibility is to a smaller market.
UK ebook Sales: A marketing Pitch for the USA?
Still, it would be a great marketing pitch on Amazon.com for an author selling into the UK market to give their UK ranking in the USA ebook editorial. Even if you do not feature in the USA best sellers list you can gain some promotion from the UK list.
You know something like:
# 15 Best Seller in the the UK! Three weeks running! (or whatever)
Kind Regards

In Pictures: The biggest Internet security challenges of 2013
From the attack on privacy and Cryptolocker to Eric Snowden and the NSA, it's been a challenging year
From the attack on privacy and Cryptolocker to Eric Snowden and the NSA, it's been a challenging year
Cisco is working to build the confidence of prospective customers in its products, two years after the NSA spying disclosures seeded doubt, particularly in China.
The U.S. National Security Agency will lose access to the bulk telephone records data it has collected at the end of November, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence announced Monday.
The Internet is a pit of epistemological chaos. As Peter Steiner posited -- and millions of chuckles peer-reviewed -- in his famous New Yorker cartoon, there's no way to know if you're swapping packets with a dog or the bank that claims to safeguard your money. To make matters worse, Edward Snowden has revealed that the NSA may be squirreling away a copy of some or all of our packets, and given the ease with which it can be done, other countries and a number of rogue hacker groups may very well be following the NSA's lead.
Just as the industry is becoming more comfortable with SDNs, the NSA says it's using them too.
Some of the world's best known cryptographers veterans of the crypto wars of the 1990s say government access to encryption keys is still a bad idea, but is an issue that will never go away because it's something intelligence agencies crave.
If there's a poster child for the challenges facing open source security, it may be Werner Koch, the German developer who wrote and for the last 18 years has toiled to maintain Gnu Privacy Guard (GnuPG), a pillar of the open source software ecosystem.
As part of the NSA's program to certify commercial off-the-shelf technology for use inside the agency, mobile devices from Samsung and Boeing have been cleared for use by NSA employees.
A funny thing is happening in the wake of the Edward Snowden NSA revelations, the infamous iCloud hack of celebrity nude photos, and the hit parade of customer data breaches at Target, Home Depot and the U.S. Postal Service. If it's not the government looking at your data, it's bored, lonely teenagers from the Internet or credit card fraudsters.
A report Thursday by the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board calling the NSA's bulk phone records collection program illegal and mostly useless puts the Obama Administration in an awkward spot.
The NSA is spending some $80 million in basic research on quantum computing, money that may ultimately help commercialize quantum computing for the private sector.

Institute 2-1 Dergview
Institute finally got their first win over Dergview in two seasons, at the fifth attempt.
The visitor's missed a host of clear cut chances in the first half and in the end a better display after the break from Kevin Deery's side, earned them the points.
Goals from Michael McCrudden and Niall Grace cancelled out Ryan Campbell's opener, however the Drumahoe side have to thank Marty Gallagher for the win.
The keeper made a host of top drawer saves in the opening 45 minutes, to keep his side in the game.
The Waterside men went close on three minutes, as Aaron Harkin's right wing free-kick was flicked on by Stephen O'Donnell at the near post, but Grace was unable to turn home the loose ball.
The visitors took the lead on 20 minutes when Harkin lost possession some 20 yards from goal and the ball fell perfectly to Ryan Campbell, who made no mistake firing the ball high into the net.
Stute went close to levelling things virtually straight away but McCrudden's shot on the half-volley from just inside the box, flashed inches past Stefan McCusker's left hand post.
Dergview missed a glorious chance on 36 minutes after Campbell's shot fell perfectly to Philip Wallace, but his close range strike was saved by Gallagher.
Moments later Wallace missed an even better chance when Darryl McDermott's missed clearance fell perfectly to the striker, but after racing clear and only Gallagher to beat, he somehow dragged his shot wide of the target.
This game should have been wrapped up by half-time, as Dergview missed another clear cut chance.
This time substitute Ivan Sproule raced down the left before feeding Campbell, but his strike from point blank range was saved by Gallagher.
Those missed chances came back to haunt the visitors as the Drumahoe men levelled things on 44 minutes; Raymond Foy's clever flick inside the box found McCrudden and he blasted home from 12 yards, in off the crossbar.
Institute were inches away from taking the lead on 48 minutes after McIntyre's cross was only half cleared by a diving McCusker and Andy Devlin's stinging drive from the edge of the box, came back off the crossbar.
Soon after Sammy Morrow got half a yard away from Matthew Buchanan, but the Stute striker's shot from the right hand side of the box, was superbly kept out by McCusker.
With their tails up Kevin Deery's side took the lead on 54 minutes; McIntyre's right wing cross to the back post found Darryl McDermott, his powerful header fell to Grace and he drilled the ball home from close range.
Just before the hour mark, McCrudden's delightful pass released right-back Devlin, who found himself in unfamiliar territory after getting in behind the Dergview defence, but keeper McCusker did well to come off his line to deny the defender.
In the closing stages, Richard Clarke's men kept pumping high balls into the Stute box, but the home side dealt with them to claim a massive three points.
Institute: Gallagher, Devlin (Scoltock 85), O'Donnell, McDermott, R Morrow; McIntyre (Pomeroy 78), Foy, Harkin (Jarvis 55), McCrudden; Grace, S Morrow.
Dergview: McCusker, Walsh, Buchanan (Robinson 90), Wray, Falconer; Arkinson, Burns, Ballard, Cashel (Sproule 28); Wallace (Lecky 62), Campbell.
Referee: Shane Andrews (Comber).

Celebrating Daddies-to-Be on Father's Day
While you're expecting, mamas-to-be typically get all the love and attention. Don't get me wrong, it's well-deserved, but sometimes daddies-to-be can feel a little left by the wayside. Help him to feel included with a little Father's Day love. Here are some ideas!
If daddy is a suit and tie kind of guy and you've settled on baby's name, cuff links with baby's initials are sweet and sure to make daddy look sharp.
If daddy is a sports fan, matching 'Team (insert your last name here)' jersey shirts would be too cute.
Dad Est. Mug + some good coffee
Dad-to-be will truly savor a cup of coffee in this sweet mug. Recommendations for good coffee from a Seattleite (that's me): Caffe Umbria and Vivace. YUM!
{ MORE: The Very Best Gifts They Won't Have on Their Registry }
Dad Est. Pint Glass + Some Good Beer
Order this with the year instead of a specific date and it will be perfect for daddy-to-be. Just head to the store to pick up some of his favorite beer, or ask for suggestions based on what you know he likes and surprise him with something new and different. Cheers!
Dadchelor Party
I'm going to go ahead and get this one trademarked. I came up with the idea when a close friend was getting ready to have a baby and it has stuck in our friend group since. Mamas get their baby shower pampering, daddies get a night out on the town with friends! Just reach out to his bestie to help with planning and boom, gift given.
Letter from Baby
Well, written by you, but sharing the characteristics that will make him a good daddy!
Dad Instruction Books
Because you shouldn't be the one doing all the reading and preparing! Daddy-to-be will also likely love feeling at least somewhat prepared for this adventure with some book knowledge. The two I bought for my husband were: Be Prepared: A Practical Handbook for New Dads and From Dude to Dad: The Diaper Dude Guide to Pregnancy. He found them to be pretty darn helpful!

Most of us still remember the housing crash of 2008 – vividly. Housing prices, driven by ever-more-creative financing and frenzied demand skyrocketed higher and higher in a positive feedback loop that everyone knew would crash one day, but few knew where to jump off. Today's market feels "frothy" (as Alan Greenspan would say) like the market running up to 2008. So are we in a new housing bubble?
Not according to a new study conducted by the San Francisco District of the Federal Reserve. To examine this, economists Reuven Glick, Kevin Lansing and Daniel Molitor looked at two key measures that give us some insight into the underlying components of housing values.
The Mortgage Debt to Income ratio tells us how the cost of carrying homes on the aggregate compares to incomes as an aggregate, and thus speaks to the affordability of homes at any given point in time.
The House Price to Rent ratio speaks to what I call the foundational monthly value of housing – what renters must pay to occupy the space each month. This speaks to the investment value of a home, measured by monthly cash flow.
If you look to the chart on the right, you'll see that the amount of income each household had to commit to mortgage debt every month rose precipitously during the early 2000's all the way through 2008. Logically, at some point there is a limit. You can only pay so much of your income towards your monthly mortgage payment. When we hit that limit, housing prices simply have to level off or go down (unless incomes rise precipitously too.)
Note, however, that since 2008 the ratio has been in steady decline. While there are many factors, certainly a good portion of it is due to lower interest rates, and therefore lower mortgage payments. A lot of the toxic loans (which tended to have much higher payments once they adjusted or re-casted) were foreclosed on, modified, or refinanced, all of which also helped alleviate high aggregate monthly mortgage debt.
In the same graphic you'll also see that the price of homes relative to the rental value also spiked leading up to the financial crisis. This peaked and started downward earlier primarily because rents began to rise after many years of stagnation. This ratio didn't really start moving up again until home prices started spiking in 2012.
Both of these factors are significantly below their peak in 2008 at this time. By these measures, housing values do not appear to be inflated at all – yet.
What this means is that housing prices – relative to their monthly rental value and relative to the income required to support them – are at about the same price level as they were in 2002. Without "creative" (OK, stupid, toxic, insane) financing to help support rising values we won't (thankfully) reach the same relative levels that we did in 2008.
Housing prices are driven by many factors, but one of them is the desire for housing. When home buyers feel that they need to "get in at any cost" housing prices can get frothy. When home buyers feel that housing might not be a good investment they stay away in droves, and relative values decline. (See chart again, 2008 through 2012.)
Desire for housing has certainly come back (how quickly we forget about the crash.)
However, while the perception that housing is a good investment again has obviously made a comeback, Millenials are struggling with weak income and high student loan debt, and have famously turned their backs on home ownership (for now.) Further, interest rates are bound to rise sooner or later, and when they do that changes the Mortgage Debt to Income Ratio, holding prices down a little.
What this tells me – and predictions are risky – is that values relative to rent and income are about right today. As long as income and rents continue to rise values should rise at about the same pace. Because there are still so few listings values may outpace incomes for a short while, but this would be mitigate by rising interest rates.
If these things are all true, housing prices should basically keep pace with inflation from now on, and inflation is very mild. Have we returned to "normal?"

Was. Bret Sterling a pseudonym of Hamilton for these?

Here's an entry from the online Encyclopedia of Science Fiction. It sounds complicated.
BRETT STERLING: A House Name of Better Publications, used originally in the magazines Startling Stories and Captain Future for five short Captain Future novels, three of which – "The Star of Dread" (Captain Future 1943), "Magic Moon" (Captain Future 1944) and "Red Sun of Danger" (Startling Stories 1945; vt Danger Planet 1968) – were by Edmond Hamilton. Two Sterling Captain Future stories by Joseph Samachson are "Days of Creation" (Captain Future 1944; vt The Tenth Planet 1969) and "Worlds to Come" (Captain Future 1943). The Sterling pseudonym was used once more by Hamilton for "Never the Twain Shall Meet" (Fall 1946 Thrilling Wonder) and once by Ray Bradbury for "Referent" (October 1948 Thrilling Wonder). [PN]

great stuff. I wonder, if you're called Captain Future, do you really need the subtitle "man of tomorrow?"
- June 27, 2017 at 8:29 AM
- Evan Lewis said...
Hm. Superman was the "Man of Tomorrow," too, but I don't know when he got the name. Wonder who stole it from whom?
- June 27, 2017 at 2:44 PM
- Matthew Clark said...
Hamilton would end up writing Superman for DC in the Silver Age.
Just finished a new Captain Future novel by Allen M. Steele called "Avengers of the Moon" . It's published by New York : Tor/A Tom Doherty Associates Book. it has a nice retro feel to it, but with science.
How many Captain Future stories did Ray Bradbury do? Were they ever included in his anthologies?

Traditional Tenkara Kebari Project
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]As a tenkara guide and angler, I am always trying to acquire new knowledge. A feature of tenkara that I have wanted to study for some time is the tying and usage of traditional tenkara kebari patterns. There are numerous resources available online, yet one stands out above the others.
Mr. Yoshikazu Fujioka and Traditional Tenkara Kebari Patterns
During the 2015 Tenkara Summit in Estes Park, CO, Mr. Yoshikazu Fujioka, discussed traditional tenkara kebari patterns utilized in Japan. Over a period of years, Fujioka-san has collected and tied kebari patterns used in different regions of Japan. While researching these traditional tenkara kebari patterns, Fujioka-san has been curating a very impressive website, Trout and Seasons.
I was fascinated by his depth of knowledge about tenkara kebari patterns. His presentation awoke a need in me to acquire more knowledge about the kebari patterns used by Japanese tenkara anglers. I consistently went to his site and read every page and took notes along the way. The deeper I got into the site, my fascination grew with traditional tenkara practiced in Japan.
Before long, I found his Traditional Japanese Tenkara Fly Page 1. As a fly tier, I found myself wanting to tie and use the patterns on Fujioka-san's page. I tied up the first traditional tenkara kebari pattern, a kebari from the Kurobe Headstream area. Using black thread, and a black bantam rooster hackle, I did my best to recreate this amazing pattern. I felt I did ok with it, although I was missing the Shamisen string for the eye. Having tied this traditional tenkara kebari pattern for the first time, I was struck by a notion to create a new project for my readers here at Tenkara Grasshopper.
The Traditional Tenkara Kebari Project
Using Fujioka-sans site as inspiration, I started packing a fly box with each pattern. With a total of five (5) patterns tied and in the box, I thought about sharing my experiences tying these patterns with everyone. So, I have decided to offer up my own personal version of Fujioka-san's curated kebari. This is not an attempt to copy his content but to share my explorations in tying kebari.
Already I know that I am unable to tie my versions with the perfection that he puts into his traditional tenkara kebari patterns. Honoring tradition is very important to me, therefore I intend to do my best to respect the original designs using modern materials and hooks currently available on the US market.
Over the coming months, as I tie each pattern I will share images and comments on each kebari. If there is significant interest in this project, I might even shoot some video to share with all my readers. I hope that you will let me know if you have any interest in videos of these patterns.
The Traditional Tenkara Kebari Project will not just be about the tying. I intend to fish these patterns on my local waters here in Colorado. By utilizing these patterns here in Colorado, I believe that I can prove how effective these traditional tenkara kebari patterns are.
Comments and Criticisms
I accept constructive criticism. You are welcome to post a comment here or Contact Me.
Traditional Tenkara Kebari Project Credits
There are a few people I would like to thank for starting me on this project.
Daniel Galhardo, Tenkara USA
The first person who deserves the most credit for this project is Daniel Galhardo, of Tenkara USA. Had it not been for Daniel bringing Fujioka-san to the 2015 Tenkara Summit in Estes Park, I would have been completely unaware of Fujioka-san.
Mr. Yoshikazu Fujioka, Trout and Streams
I owe a debt of gratitude to Fujioka-san for spending an incredible amount of time researching the kebari patterns used throughout Japan. The amount of time that goes into a website like Trout and Streams is immense. All the travel and tying that Fujioka-san put in to curate his site has given me the chance to learn something of Japan few can get without going to Japan.
To get the full experience of Fujioka-sans curated patterns, I suggest you visit any of his pages. To get started and read about the patterns shown here see Traditional Japanese Fly Tenkara 1.
My Readers
Those of you who have been coming to the Tenkara Grasshopper website deserve a thank you as well. If it were not for you I would not be running this site in the first place. Your feedback and commentary have made this a completely worthwhile endeavor for me. I look forward to having you follow me as I continue this project and others that are still in the works.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Please tell us a little bit about yourself, Juan?
I come from China. When I came to Australia I never had English, and now I can speak like this. It is very good. I do an English class now [at CNLC]; it is very good in helping finding a job. It teaches for different kinds of jobs and policy. There are a lot of special classes for different things people are interested in.
Are you living now in the Carlton area?
I live in Collingwood. I walk for half an hour to come to CNLC. It is good exercise. I like living in the area, it is very convenient to go everywhere here.
Are you involved in other activities in the community?
I like artists, and I love to go to galleries. There are a lot around the area, in Johnston Street, Brunswick Street, very interesting. Different cultures, a lot of stuff. I very much like it.
Are you a painter?
Yes. This is my hobby, yeah! So very interesting!
Have you done painting here at CNLC?
Yeah before, we used to have one class for a short time. One day we had a celebration here, an exhibition for our drawings—my drawing! A very simple one, because I never went to a [art] school, I was learning, just doing it myself, a bit of drawing. The manager here said maybe there will be another class opened if there are more people interested in it.
Is there anything else that you would like to share?
Here I like it. I like the students are very friendly. It's like one family. The teachers are like a family. Here we have coffee, it's very good. Sometimes students get given some food to take home. I'm very happy here.
Thank you very much, Joanne.
Yes, thank you.

'Memory' artist Stephen Wiltshire exhibits in New York
Helped by his autism, Stephen Wiltshire started to draw before he could talk.
Today he has his own gallery in Pall Mall, central London, and produces intricate pen and ink studies entirely from memory.
Mr Wiltshire's most high profile commission was in New York, when he took a helicopter ride and reproduced the city skyline in just four days.
He has been explaining how a 75m (245ft) long version of his drawing is to go on show at New York's JFK airport.

Ever heard the mythical tale of the fountain of youth? It's about this magical waterfall that supposedly has the power to restore life, turn back the clock and, with just one sip, transform tired, old souls into young, beautiful people once more! Of course, the fountain itself is a myth but somehow we all still continue to search for ways to hold onto that healthy, natural glow. In today's society, good impressions are key, so what better way to show people you're taking care of yourself by having glorious blemish free skin? In short, we spend billions of dollars on face creams, potions and perfumes to look a few years younger, while the products that do work only do so temporarily yet it's enough to get us to buy more!
We've all fallen for the glossy bottle or serum that seductively promises to tighten skin, smooth out fine lines and reduce wrinkles as well as those products designed to fight ageing when you'd do better eating a few more greens, going to bed earlier and hitting the gym instead of slathering your face in expensive night cream. It's not enough to get a short term fix, we want a healthy natural glow that comes from inside and doesn't have an expiration date so how do you go about getting it? Well, it's not easy and it'll require a few lifestyle adjustments but if you can no longer justify spending your paycheck on 'miracle' face cream and costly dermatologists visits then you'll probably be up for it. Over the next few minutes, you're going to find a multitude of ways to keep your skin looking fresh, flawless, natural and healthy which means you'll look much younger than you actually are, so make sure you have those ID cards handy!
Go Go H20

If you're a lifelong fan of fizzy drinks you'll find this first tip harder than anyone else, and that goes doubly for those of you who can't function without their morning cup of joe. Swap coffee, soda, juice and even milk for water and you'll soon find yourself looking positively radiant. Remember, our bodies are basically 65% water so if you're not getting enough of the original beverage, the first place problems are going to show up are in your skin.
Stop the temptation to buy a soda by carrying around a water bottle, one, if you're thirsty you're more likely to take a swig at your desk than walk all the way down to the vending machine and two, it'll help you lose a few pounds as water, unlike carbonated beverages, isn't filled with endless teaspoons of sugar! Fancy switching things up? Coconut water is a delicious, natural alternative to plain and is much healthier for you than Pepsi, or Coke, so you're less likely to suffer from breakouts thanks to toxins being released into your body.
Ditch The Junk

You may think you need fries, cookies and popcorn to get you through the working day but you really don't! Switch to slow energy release foods like oats, and berries that'll give you reserves without leading to a sugar spike and the inevitable mid-afternoon headache. While we may sound like your mother, a balanced diet really is the key to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Cook dishes from scratch, instead of relying on pre-packaged convenience foods that'll have enormous amounts of salt and sugar in them and instead look for inspiration from food bloggers who've whipped up delicious, nutritious food in under an hour!
Don't neglect your vitamins and minerals either, up your pulse and lentil count as well as eating foods like dark, leafy greens that contain plenty of antioxidants and oh so good for you fatty omega acids. Choose white meat over red, and make sure you're eating plenty of oily fish like tuna and mackerel which has been scientifically proven to be good for our nails, hair and skin. Don't skimp on the fresh fruit either! Oranges and watermelons are great candidates for improving the skin's appearance and veggies will give you a lovely, radiant glow.
Moisturize, Tone, Exfoliate

Some of us somehow expect to have the blemish free skin of a nineteen-year-old model without putting in any effort whatsoever! It's not enough to just wash your face briefly, you've actually got to look after it correctly to see results. One of the best ways to get younger looking skin is by establishing a proper, thorough skincare routine both in the morning's and at night time. Cleansing with a face wipe, or cotton pad dipped in the cleanser will remove all the gunk, sweat and grime that collects on your face every day, while toning handles any pore issues helping to tighten them and reduce the chance of blackheads. A good moisturizer isn't just necessary for improving the skin's texture but it'll help fight free radicals and boost your skin's cell regeneration.
Now's not the time to try and get by with one moisturizer either! A thick, creamy one will infuse your skin with moisture overnight and combined with an under eye gel and cotton face mask will leave your face looking healthy and full of life! Whatever you do don't forget to exfoliate. You can either purchase an exfoliator or a home microdermabrasion kit when you buy MicrodermMD.
Feeling adventurous? Make an entirely natural one from oats, plain greek yogurt, and rosewater it'll smell delicious and work wonders on any areas of patchy dry skin, redness and acne.
Bare Faced Truth

You might be obsessed with trying out new makeup looks but it's, crucial your skin gets a day off every once in awhile. Coating your skin in beauty products is fine, but you also need to go bare-faced every so often so that it has the chance to breathe. Make sure you check how much makeup you're actually using. You only need a pea-sized amount of foundation, popped onto a beauty blender in order to create an even, smooth canvas and too much can looked caked on or even worse start to flake off by mid-afternoon. If you feel nervous about heading out minus concealer, foundation and blush then you could try a tinted moisturizer as it'll give you a little bit of coverage while not being too heavy handed.
Remember, always take sunscreen if you're heading outside and reapply it as and when, if you live in a particularly warm place you may also want to consider buying cosmetics with sun protection in them. Pay attention to your makeup brushes too! They should be cleaned, and maintained regularly and any old or product caked sponges should be binnned.
A quick cleansing formula is baby shampoo, conditioner and a drop of antiseptic location. It'll remove even the most stubborn blusher residue and leave your brushes in tip top condition.
Look At Your Lifestyle

No one looks good if they're smoking, drinking and partying too much so if you can't remember the last time you arrived home before dawn have a cosy night in eh? Smoking isn't just bad for your bank balance, it's horrible for other people, takes a toll on the environment and increased your chance of getting cancer. From a skin care angle smoking ages the skin, makes you lose elasticity and in severe cases can even start to turn the skin yellow. The same goes for if you can't go a week without making a trip to a local tanning salon, prolonged sunbed usage is much more harmful than many of us realize so you need to make sure that you limit your visits or stop going altogether. A life of exposure to UV rays will lead to a darkening of the skin, sun spots, pigmentation and premature wrinkles as well as increasing your chance of developing moles.
Keep exercising regularly, whether it's kickboxing, surfing, swimming, gymnastics or dance it doesn't matter as long as you're getting at least thirty minutes of activity each day. Use yoga, meditation and Chinese breathing techniques to keep the panic rat at bay as there's nothing worse for your skin than stress! It's one of the reasons doctors, teachers, and lawyers look so worn out because their chosen career choice is so stressful some days they have to schedule bathroom breaks, let alone get the chance to head to the local farmer's market to pick out a healthy chicken, quinoa and beetroot salad.
Silk And Satin

Believe it or not, even the wrong pillow case can lead to skin problems! Try to avoid thin cotton pillow cases and wash the ones you so have regularly. Cheap pillowcases can suck out all the moisture from your skin, leaving it dry flaky and even itchy as well as causing huge sleep lines and wrinkles. Go for silk or satin based pillowcases that are smooth, cold and feel better against your skin as well as choosing nightwear that allows your skin to breathe properly. Make sure that you turn your electronics off before bedtime, you don't want to wake up at 3 am because your iPhone alarm has accidentally gone off! Allow yourself to rest and relax too. Avoid any caffeine and instead choose a calming green tea or chamomile drink.

I'm on a business trip in Wisconsin, and I went out with a coworker. We started off at a bit of a dive bar, where I had a simple dinner (chicken sandwich and deep fried cheese curls) and a few beers.
From there, we proceeded to another bar/restaurant, where we met up with some of her friends. At that point, I started alternating between booze and water. I didn't want to burn out too early.
The topper of the evening was at a wine bar. As midnight (Wisconsin time) rang in, I bought everybody in the bar a round of drinks (not bad, about 20 people. Why the hell not?). We were there for about four hours, where I had many drinks (interspersed with water and juice to keep from getting too out of control) and had what was probably the best way to ring in my birthday.
I returned to the hotel at about 3am. We kissed goodnight (and maybe a little bit more) and I walked in...almost.
I was out so late that they had locked the doors in the lobby, and I was in the vestibule for about 5 minutes buzzing the night clerk to let me in.
I'm tired, I'm slight buzzed, and I am in a great mood. As I said, spending the evening with an attractive coworker was the absolute best way to celebrate my birthday.
I shudder to think what my credit card bill will be for all the drinks we had, but you know what?
Fuck it. I only turn 40 once in my life, and I celebrated it in the best way I could. No worries, no regrets.

I really am, though!! I just checked out the last post date…are you freakin' kidding me that it's been a month?!?! (You're all nodding your heads, yes.)
So once again, I've been pretty insanely busy at work, which is always a good thing, but it's slightly daunting at times. It definitely makes the weeks fly by, the Fridays VERY celebrated and Sunday nights very very sad. And per usual, Monday mornings are slightly dreadful. (Read: completely.)
Aside from a few weddings recently, it's been really really nice to just relax and enjoy the weekends that seem so short these days. I'm now jogging my memory trying to think of any big ticket items you might be interested in.
1) The Lakers won. Which means, we all lose. It would be safe to say that I dislike them most. However, the Mavericks run a VERY tight race and if they weren't a Texas team I would really be in a pickle to make the call on this one.
2) I'm re-obsessed with Apple products. I've experienced the iPad and all of you nay-sayers….well, you shall nay no more. It's pretty amazing. As is the iOS4 update……and I've officially worked at a tech company a long time and most likely bored you all with my geek facts. (Don't even get me started explaining cloud computing…just ask The Pam.)
3) The World Cup. I'm trying my best to follow it, but admittedly having a really hard time. It's a lot of running (which, as we all know I don't do unless being chased. With weaponry.) and lots of kicking and contact. I dunno… but I can appreciate the World Cup in all it's splendor.
4) Dina left The Real Housewives of New Jersey. I miss her. She was awesome. I have a total crush on Albie. I could go on for days, but something tells me your eyes might glaze over like they did when I mentioned the Apple update. (Which you really should be excited about!)
5) My roomie Char and I got locked out of our house after an hour long walk on Saturday. Without our phones. We ended up walking for another hour trying to find neighbors and friends who were home and would let us borrow their phones. As it turns out, you can unlock a knob lock with a credit card. It's so easy, my mother can do it. Wait, she DID do it.
Unfortunately, I think that's all I have for now. Sorry I've been gone, hopefully you'll come back, and lemme tell you…there is MUCH on the docket for the summer. And you know what that means…

Junior dos Santos Thinks He Will KO Cain Velasquez
It only took Junior dos Santos (15-1)a little over a minute to knock Cain Velasquez (10-1) to the mat with a right hand and win the UFC heavyweight championship. When the meet again next month at UFC 155: Dos Santos vs. Velasquez II, Dos Santos believes that it will take a little longer to secure the victory.

At the first UFC on FOX, Santos won the heavyweight champion in Velasquez's first defense. Since then each fighter has gained a victory.
"I go to finish my fights," said Dos Santos. "I'm a heavyweight and we finish our fights. This fight is going to prove I'm the baddest man on the planet."
Dos Santos vs. Velasquez will main event UFC 155 on December 29 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, NV.

The beginning: I've been making movies since early 2016. That was a year and a half ago. I've completed three 30 minute movies and am working on two more this summer. I've been able to do this because of many people who have stepped up to help me along the way. I was awarded a $1000 grant to make what turned out to be my first two movies (I didn't realize it would be two separate movies until I began the editing process). Several friends responded to my request to find women religious (aka nuns) who would be willing to let me interview them about their work among people who are economically poor. I traveled to Tampa, Philadelphia and Honolulu over the course of a few weeks, hauling my meager equipment & heavy tripod & relying on my conversation skills to get the interviews going.
The kindness of strangers: What I found is that the women were very accommodating in trusting me, a stranger, with their stories. Most of the women I interviewed were in their 70s, 80s and 90s. Two of the women who appear in Energy of Nuns have passed away since we met a year and a half ago. I am glad I had the chance to hear their stories and to share some of their stories with others by way of this movie. After a year and a half of doing this work, I have interviewed more than 40 people. This year, I have traveled to Charleston, Kingstree (SC), Rock Hill (SC) Travelers Rest (SC), Belmont (NC) and Cary (NC) to interview women from five different religious communities. As I sit there talking with them and listening to their stories, I can't believe I have the opportunity to sit with them one-on-one to learn about their journeys which have taken them far from home.
It is a conversation: When I interview a person, I do not go there with a preset list of questions or a clipboard for taking notes. I go there to talk with them. I see what one story leads to and I am genuinely interested so I ask the next reasonable question that tells me more about her time in Haiti, living in a tent post-eartquake at age 80 or in Peru where one chose to stay even when the Shining Path was killing people left and right. The camera is on, just off my shoulder, but it is really a conversation between two people. I guess this sort of thing can be learned but I find it is the same skillset as being a good conversationalist.
Their best stories: When I the person I am with is relaxed, it becomes a real conversation and not just a sniffled give-and-take transaction of words. As I rewatch the videos, I have about 1 hour or 1.5 hours with each person, I look for the stories which excite them the most. In Hawai'i, I thought I was going to capture and share stories from a sister who has been visiting the leper colony on Molokai since the 1960s. That was a rare story to capture, for sure, but it turns out she really lit up when she told me about arriving in the grubby 1970s NYC to serve homeless kids as a nurse. Its not that she doesn't love her time on Molokai, but she's given many interviews on that topic already and had told all of those stories a few times. I like finding these little unexpected jewels amongst an hour or so of words. Their passion for life really shines through as they tell these little stories that few people may know or remember or otherwise hear. It is cool to be in the position of capturing and sharing these stories.
Where I am going from here: I am actively working to improve my technical skills. I don't want my technical shortcomings to get in the way of these stories being told. I've learned a lot from people who take the time to cobble together videos and post them to youtube. Really, in 2017, there is so much you can learn by YouTube videos. Almost everything I have learned about editing, I have learned from YouTube. I took a semester-long class at the community college to learn more about lighting, which is so important to set the tone of a scene. This summer, I am helping someone put together a series of workshops on various aspects of filmmaking (sound, lighting, acting, storytelling) and will definitely be in the front seat, scribbling notes and absorbing what I can. This fall, I will take some online courses through a reputable documentary filmmaking program and put together additional workshops, inviting the experts I know to come and share what they know with people like me who have access to incredible stories and want to help them be heard.

Apple CEO Tim Cook said Thursday that the ramp-up of iPhone 10 manufacturing is going well, but said he can't say when supply will match demand.
Why it matters: Cook's comments followed a strong earnings report and forecast of a record holiday quarter. The numbers, in particular, should go a long way to easing investor concerns and shares were up more than 3 percent in after-hours trading.

Prithvi Shaw is back in the headlines.
The 14-year-old batsman scored a marathon 546, as Rizvi Springfield amassed 991, in reply to St Francis D'Assisi's first innings total of 92 in the Harris Shield (Under-16) Elite Division schools cricket tournament, at the Baronet CC pitch, Azad Maidan in Mumbai, on Wednesday.
This is the first instance of a player scoring over 500 runs in the tournament. It bettered the previous record of 498, by Armaan Jaffer, also of Rizvi Springfield, against IES Raja Shivaji, in 2010.
On Tuesday, the right-hander was unbeaten on 257, inclusive of 44 boundaries and three sixes in a 166-ball stay at the wicket, as Rizvi ended the day on 354 for 1.
Before being dismissed on Wednesday, he added another 289. His 330-ball essay was studded with 85 fours and five sixes.
Shaw is now the world's third highest run-getter in any grade of cricket, behind Clark House's Arthur Collins, who scored 628 not out for Bristol's Clifton College against North Town in 1899, and Charles Eady, who hit 566 for Break-o'-Day against Wellington in March 1902.
Opening the innings after Francis D'Assisi, from Borivali in North Mumbai, were dismissed in 38 overs after lunch on Day 1 (Tuesday), Shaw spent six hours and seven minutes at the crease. He put on a 153-run opening stand with Vaibhav Kalamkar and then added 619 runs for the second wicket with Satyalaksh Jain.
Earlier in the day, he was named the captain of Mumbai's Under-16 team for the BCCI's Vijay Merchant Trophy.
Last year, after a high-scoring season, Shaw was selected for a three-month coaching-cum-educational stint in Manchester by AAP Entertainment, a company floated by former India spinner Nilesh Kulkarni.

Earlier this year, Mexican taquerias hit the city with eateries like Guzman Y Gomez and the Burrito Bar. Now, the latest craze is on Japanese noodle shops.
There are 2 noodle shops located just outside Sunnybank Plaza: Hakataya Noodle Shop and Menya Mappen Noodle Bar. They are almost impossible to miss if you are in the area – just look out for a big group of people queuing up and it will lead you to one of these noodle shops.
It took us a while to study the menu at Mappen on our first visit. Most of the dishes looked very similar with only slight variations. It is basically a choice between Udon or Soba noodles, soup or dry, hot or cold noodles and extras such as half-boiled egg, curry or sukiyaki beef. There is a Japanese curry with rice dish too, for those who are not interested in noodles.
Once you have ordered the noodles, you can proceed to the self-serve tempura section. All items are individually priced, so you can get as much or as little as you want. Bear in mind that some of the items might be sitting on the counter for a while, so might be cold. I am not too worried about this as they provide hot tempura dipping sauce for free.
The noodles are very tasty and I enjoyed the freedom granted by the self service tempura station. We ordered a relatively basic noodle dishes, complemented by tempura sweet potato, seafood stick fish cake and chicken- Yum.
Tempura fish cake, seafood stick and sweet potato
Tempura sweet potato and chicken
The dining experience is very casual with signs asking that you return the tray to the counter once you're done. It's like going to a private food court with quick and cheap meals – with noodles priced at around $5.90 and tempura starting at about 80c per piece.
Overall, it was a fun dining experience and I will definitely be back.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas --- Fourth-ranked Georgia leads 12th-ranked Texas 1-0 here in the quarterfinals of the NCAA Men's Tennis Championships Saturday. Severe thunderstorms halted singles play. They will resume singles at 10 a.m. ET Sunday. There is no indoor facility here on the Texas A&M campus.
Georgia (25-3) won a hard-fought doubles point that the No. 2 team of Borja Malo and Christian Vitulli clinched 11-9 in a tiebreaker, saving five match points in the process. They got down two match points at 8-7 in regulation and then saved three more during the tiebreaker against the 60th-ranked duo of Dimitar Kutrovsky and Josh Zavala. Malo and Vitulli converted on their third chance in the tiebreaker. Malo's volleys coupled with Vitulli's strong service game keyed the win in the tiebreaker. They built a 6-3 lead in the match and then the Longhorns rallied to take a 7-6 lead. The Malo/Vitulli team is 9-7 this year.
Georgia got in position to clinch by getting a key win from the fifth-ranked All-America duo of Jamie Hunt and Nate Schnugg. They roared out to a 6-1 advantage and eventually posted an 8-5 win over the 27th-ranked tandem of Kellen Damico and Ed Corrie. The Hunt/Schnugg team is 30-11 this season including 21-6 at No. 1. With the point determined, the No. 3 match was suspended with the Longhorns leading 8-7.
Singles got underway for approximately 20 minutes when play was halted due to the bad weather. At that point, 12th-ranked Schnugg and 19th-ranked Kotrovsky were 3-3 at No. 1. Sophomore Javier Garrapiz led 3-1 over Ed Corrie in the No. 2 contest. At No. 3, Hunt had a 4-3 edge on Damico while senior Josh Varela and Olivier Sajous were 2-all in the No. 4 contest. In the No. 5 match, Vitulli trailed Zavala 3-2 while Malo was down 3-2 to Miguel Reyes Varela at No. 6.
The Georgia-Texas winner advances to the semifinals and faces the winner of the Virginia/Southern California match. The eighth-ranked Trojans (22-5) have a 1-0 lead on the top-ranked Cavaliers (32-0) after taking the doubles point.

I'm 4 episodes into Vlogalonstar—3 if you don't count the introduction.
I've changed the angles around, I still want an DSLR (depth-of-field is sexy), I've switched from Final Cut Pro to Premiere and back to Final Cut Pro. But you know what, none of that matters if you can't ship a video.
(I'm using an iPhone, by the way.)
Two weeks ago, that happened. Three times. I had one relatively serious video where one of the segments didn't record any sound. After the frustration passed, I made a relatively silly video answering questions off of Formspring and the iPhone overheated halfway through and never saved the segment.
After that frustration passed—desperately wanting to actually record something—I went to Twitter for questions. Thankfully! I got a few, recorded and nothing terrible happened. So here you go, questions on passion, drive and the new Vlogalonstar Live.
