2018 GRAMMY nominee Scott Sharrard had been the touring guitarist for the Gregg Allman Band since the Fall of 2008. He's been called "one of the best guitarists in the country" by Billboard. Gregg Allman, had high praise for the guitarist. "I know all about guitar players —I've seen the very best — and Scott Sharrard is the perfect guitarist for my band. He understands that you don't need to play just for the sake of playing; Scott isn't one of those guys who thinks they're getting paid by the note. He never steps on the vocals, and leaves plenty of room for everyone else to do their thing, but when it's time to solo, Scott delivers, boy."While most recently acting as Musical Director & Co-Writer for Allman and recently recording his last record "Southern Blood" in Muscle Shoals, Scott has also been concentrating on the growth of his solo career while holding Gregg's legacy near and dear as a guiding light and point of everlasting inspiration. His next album "Saving Grace" has been recorded and will be released in 2018.scottsharrard.com Driving Directions to 291 Tinker Street (Route 212), Woodstock, NY:

Members of King Crimson, Shriekback and Gabriel's original band bring these genre-less masterpieces into the 21st Century. Seattleites Trey Gunn and Michael Cozzi join esteemed drummer Jerry Marotta and NY keyboardist David Jameson to harness the core of these songs. Added to the pedigree of these players is the voice of Happy Rhodes. Her 4-octave range is the latest edition to this mesmerizing group.With the addition of Happy on lead vocals, The Security Project is able to dig deeper into Gabriel's material and take it even further (imagine Kate Bush singing Gabriel tunes with The Security Project as the instrumentalists.) Marotta says "Happy brings with her the chance to play other material we have always talked about doing. Stuff from David Sylvian, Kate Bush and other gems from Trey's and my past work, in addition to Happy's catalog. We are excited!""The Security Project Live is a beautifully reverential and creative reinterpretation of these Peter Gabriel classics!" – Kevin Killen, engineer of Gabriel's "So" record Driving Directions to 920 Oakridge Commons South Salem, NY 10590

Terry Adams, visionary, driving force and "untamed genius of the keyboards" for NRBQ since the band's inception over four decades ago, is one of music's true originals. Adams reignited the legendary Quartet with the addition of Scott Ligon on guitar & vocals, Conrad Choucroun on drums, and newest band member Casey McDonough on bass & vocals.The 2011 NRBQ studio album, Keep This Love Goin' and the new live CD We Travel the Spaceways show the NRBQ magic - great musicianship, emotion, fearlessness, and fun – is intact. "Ability to groove like no other band on the planet," says popmatters.com. "Fans will find spontaneity, humor, breadth, and musical know-how…" says No Depression. "Music no one can make anymore." says the Detroit Metro-Times.And live? "…the current incarnation lived up to the legacy. They reclaimed not only the vast NRBQ catalog of songs and loose-as-a-goose sound, but also the band's wildly unpredictable spirit on stage. Their willingness to step way out on a limb has always been one of NRBQ's most endearing qualities, and in the contemporary world of pre-packaged, cookie-cutter pop stars, it's sure great to have them back," said the Albany Times-Union. Added the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, "Meet the new Q, as fun as the old Q. NRBQ is still liable to play anything. Roaring rockabilly, transcendent pop-rock, roadhouse blues, avant jazz – you name it, Adams claims it and reframes it. The new band is a revelation, capable of playing nearly the whole NRBQ catalog, which dates back to 1966." Driving Directions to 291 Tinker Street (Route 212), Woodstock, NY:

Project/Object - The Music Of Frank Zappa feat. Napoleon Murphy Brock and Denny Walley! !
Project/Object is the longest continually touring alumni-based Zappa tribute band in the world.
For nearly twenty five years they have toured and performed Zappa music with more of his
bandmates than anyone other than Zappa himself. Project/Object tours of the USA, Canada &
Europe have paved the way for a rich variety of excellent, contemporary Zappa tribute acts. ! !Project/Object has brought most of the currently touring Zappa alumni out of retirement and
onto the road. Musicians from every era of Zappa's history have performed with Project/Object.
This tour reunites old bandmates Napoleon Murphy Brock & Denny Walley, with a setlist
featuring material that they performed on tour together with Frank, as well as Zappa classics
and faves from other albums they did with him.! !
Napoleon Murphy Brock, the frontman vocalist/saxophonist for Zappa's early seventies bands,
first appeared on the breakthrough album Apostrophe ('), then the incredibly popular Roxy and
Elsewhere and One Size Fits All. He appeared with Denny Walley on the iconic Bongo Fury,
which documents Zappa's 1975 collaborative tour with his old friend Captain Beefheart. Brock
went on to tour with fellow Zappa alum George Duke, reaching new heights in the hugely
popular George Duke Band. Napoleon later provided harmony vocals for Sheik Yerbouti, one of
Zappa's biggest selling albums. He also appears on Thingfish and YCDTOSA - Helsinki.! !
Denny Walley, a key member of Zappa's mid 70s and early 80s tours, is the band member that
goes back the furthest with Frank - they met during the 8th grade! Denny brought his incendiary
slide guitar work to many Zappa tours and albums, splitting time as Captain Beefheart's slide
guitarist as well. Denny appears on arguably Beefheart's greatest work: Bat Chain Puller, and
on Zappa favorites like Joe's Garage and You Are What You Is. Denny not only performed with
Zappa on SNL a few times, but later became a set-builder for the show!! Driving Directions to 291 Tinker Street (Route 212), Woodstock, NY:

Fresh off the wildly successful King Crimson world tour … STICK MEN!The improvising rock trio like no other formed in 2008. Playing instruments not seen or heard every day, STICK MEN plays captivating and challenging music that embodies the tradition of forward-looking rock music. Levin and Mastelotto, who have been the powerhouse rhythm section of King Crimson for 20+ years, bring that tradition to every note they play. The band takes its name from Levin's Chapman Stick: strung with both bass and guitar strings, it functions at times like two instruments. Markus Reuter plays his own self-designed touch guitar - again covering much more ground than a guitar or a bass. And Mastelotto's drumming encompasses not just the acoustic kit, but a distinctive electronic setup too, allowing him to add loops, samples, percussion and more.The result? Audiences are fascinated by watching just three musicians perform pieces like Stravinsky's Firebird Suite, King Crimson's Red and Lark's Tongues in Aspic, plus their own catalog of unique music and wild improvs ranging from haunting to paint-peeling. Don't let your ears miss out on this & in a great room to hear live music!!With Special Guests; Bernier & DeCarlo and the PGRA Showband.

The Aristocrats – by any measure the hottest new band in instrumental rock/fusion today – rewrote their own rules for their third studio album, Tres Caballeros. After two fairly raw trio albums, guitarist Guthrie Govan (Steven Wilson, Asia/GPS), bassist Bryan Beller (Joe Satriani, Dethklok) and drummer Marco Minnemann (Steven Wilson, Joe Satriani) set up camp at legendary Sunset Sound studios in Hollywood, CA, where Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones and Van Halen all recorded landmark albums. The result: Nine new compositions of greater sonic depth and breadth than ever before, with unique textures and lush layering augmenting the band's preternatural ability to improvise both individually and as a group at the highest levels possible. But not to worry – it's all still tempered with a steadfast refusal to take themselves too seriously, and The Aristocrats are still having more fun than a fusion band has any right to have.
The Tres Caballeros tour will bring the band's new musical vision in trio form to stages across North America in their most ambitious jaunt yet.Tour support is provided by the award-winning Travis Larson Band.

Classic Ritual
Modern Method
Absinthe and the traditional preparation is making its way back into the nightlife. Sometimes, clubs cannot afford the preparation time and costs of all the beautiful Absinthe paraphernalia dedicated to the Absinthe Ritual. Plus, replacing damaged Items such as Absinthe fountains, glass drippers, etc. could be costly, thus discouraging venues to carry these products and resulting in pushing Absinthe cocktails instead.
Luckily, inventors Dimitri Uhlik and his brother Mike developed a modern and practical way to prepare Absinthe. They have revolutionized, the traditional Absinthe pour, letting you truly appreciate the magic in a glass. This Device, Slipstream Phoenix glass, is made of durable Borosilicate Glass. It is both shock and thermal resistant, industrial dishwasher safe for commercial use at bars and restaurants. Easy to serve and easy to clean. It adds class and elegance to any bar, restaurant, lounge or events. It is intriguing to the eye, and inviting to those whom have never tasted Absinthe.
30 ml of Absinthe is poured into the slipstream glass, a sugar cube is then place over the the narrow neck of the glass, followed by ice, (ice is optional) then finally the chilled water is poured into the glass. Absinthe begins to slowly consume the sugar as if they were underwater white flames…Finally, these flame-like swirls morph into white cloud trails rising up to the top of the glass creating a beautiful cloud layer until the water is completely opaque. Once complete, gently blow into the detachable straw, sip and enjoy. It's truly is an innovative way to serve Absinthe in modern days and an unique experience for first time and regular users.

'This year has been harder then the year before,' she added. 'There was joy before and people didn't want to think about the earthquake. Now, all the people are frustrated, and a lot of people say they still don't want to stay in their house because they are scared. I don't think it's going to get better.'
For many Haitians, the memory of the earthquake is still too much to bear. Going to church provides some solace to many, and also the rare opportunity to reflect and cry. But these are not the churches they once were. The majority of the congregants gather under UNICEF tents to worship. Some, like this woman, choose to stay away from the fray and reflect more privately from a distance.

One of the best books I have read on the topic of suffering and pain
is written by Randy Alcorn, who tackles these questions and more in the following book:
"Every one of us will experience suffering.
Many of us are experiencing it now.
As we have seen in recent years, evil is real in our world,
present and close to each one of us.
In such difficult times, suffering and evil beg questions about God--Why would an all-good and all-powerful God create a world full of evil and suffering? And then, how can there be a God if suffering and evil exist?
In this captivating new book, best-selling author Randy Alcorn challenges the logic of disbelief, and brings a fresh, realistic, and thoroughly biblical insight to the issues these important questions raise.
Alcorn offers insights from his conversations with men and women whose lives have been torn apart by suffering, and yet whose faith in God burns brighter than ever. He reveals the big picture of who God is and what God is doing in the world–now and forever. And he equips you to share your faith more clearly and genuinely in this world of pain and fear...."
My prayers are also with the families of the tragedy in Tucson, Arizona as well as the many families affected by the terrible flooding in Australia at the moment. My friend Sue who has left many encouraging comments on my blog from time to time, has shared much with me through correspondence to give me a better understanding of what is going on at the moment in her beloved country.
Sue, you and your country are in my prayers daily.
Added: Brazil is now affected by flooding...such devastation...so little we can do but we can pray for this country as well.
In an uncertain world full of turmoil and tribulation, heartache and pain, I cling to the comfort of knowing that God knows and His heart is moved with compassion.
The LORD is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Psalm 34:18
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

Getting legal assistance
Attorneys are legal professionals who have the relevant knowledge and skills to provide legal advice. When consulting an attorney, the attorney will listen to the prospective client, explain his/her reasonable fee structure in simple and understandable terms and give an indication of how he/she expects the matter to proceed once the client has appointed the attorney.
Legal Aid South Africa
Legal Aid South Africa derives its mandate from s 35 of the Constitution. In terms of this section, every person who is arrested, detained or accused has a right to a fair trial, which includes the right to have a legal practitioner assigned by the State and at State expense. Legal Aid South Africa's role is to provide legal aid to those who cannot afford their own legal representation. This includes poor people and vulnerable groups such as women, children and the rural poor. Legal Aid SA applies a 'means test' to see whether you qualify in terms of what you earn. For example, employed individuals must earn less than R5 500 per month after tax has been taken off to qualify for legal aid.
Pro bono (free) legal services by attorneys
Attorneys in South Africa provide 24 hours per year of pro bono (free) legal assistance to indigent members of the public on a compulsory basis. Pro bono is administered by the Legal Practice Council, where attorneys are registered.
How do you qualify for a pro bono (free) attorney?
To qualify for free legal assistance, a person must comply with a 'means test' (a maximum monthly or no income) and have a legal problem with merit.
If a referral is made to a pro bono attorney, the client is responsible only for the cost of disbursements (actual expenses), such as Sheriffs' fees, and the attorney will not charge any fees for the work and legal services provided.
Services rendered in terms of the Pro Bono Scheme include, but are not limited to the following:
Where do I find a pro bono attorney?
Contact the regional office of the Legal Practice Council:
Gauteng, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, North West
Eastern Cape, Northern Cape, Western Cape
Free State

Three Random Satsangs
ShiningWorld Reader
Was Dogen PC?
Everyone has a few favorite sayings. One of mine, attributed to the famous Zen master Dogen, is "Next to good manners enlightenment is the most important thing in the world." Another one I particularly like is "Hate the sin, not the sinner" which, we are led to believe, was uttered by Christ. Even though there is not much of a dialogue between Christians and Vedantins, I continually try to start one whenever I meet a Christian. It usually does not end up with deep epiphanies on either side. It need not be that way because some of the sayings of Christ suggest that he was a non-dualist, although it is a little hard to swallow if you take the incident where he is meant to have used a whip to drive the moneychangers from the temple into account. Maybe it was just tough love.
When the Church got going, somewhere along the line his non-dual pronouncements seem to have got lost in the shuffle and I have yet to meet a Christian who grasps the concept. One day I met a lady who was very much into Jesus. We had a nice conversation at the beginning because I have learned Christian-speak. I translate non-duality into words that do not upset them and, ocean of mercy that I am, I pussyfoot around the most glaring inconsistencies in their thinking.
In any case, when things were going well I asked her if she believed that God was omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent. She said she did. So I said, "If God is omnipresent, he is present everywhere, so there is nothing other than God." She seemed a little confused since this was a new idea for her, although the logic had her; she was still listening. Then I said that "if God was everything that is, then she and I were both God." She was enlightened for approximately one second, which is not bad for a dualist, and then the conditioning kicked in and she told me in no uncertain terms that I was a heretic and a sinner and needed saving by Jesus. I had the feeling that if I persisted in my non-dual logic her irritation might become a stronger emotion.
Whether or not Christ said it, "Hate the sin, not the sinner" is a provocative statement. I like it. I am a teacher of traditional Vedanta and a teaching, among other things, should be provocative to be effective. Ignorance is a sleepy, obdurate fellow and one needs a loud alarm to wake him up. As some of you may know, I am an outspoken critic of Neo-Advaita. But for those who don't, Neo-Advaita is an attempt in the last twenty years by certain Westerners who picked up a little spiritual knowledge in India and took it upon themselves to bring the idea of non-duality to the Western world, more or less like tourists bringing home souvenirs. The modern " satsang" movement is Neo-Advaitin. Advaita means "non-dual." The idea is that reality is only one thing, non-dual awareness, and I-me-we-you are it. What that means in terms of tying one's shoes and bringing home the bacon is a big topic beyond the scope of this blog but when you boil it down it means that we are all free. We need not depend on anything for our happiness.
Hate is a strong emotion. The jury is out on whether or not it is good to express negative emotions. Sometimes it is good, sometimes not so good. But it is definitely not politically correct (PC) to hate. In the worldly world, people tend to be conservative or liberal in their general orientation to life. Most everyone in the spiritual world, which is more or less the worldly world dressed up in fancy clothing, is liberal. I meet a lot of spiritual people and I can't recall one that voted for George Bush. Liberals love multiculturalism and they invented political correctness. They picture conservatives as hardhearted meanies who attack everything they do not like. On balance, their idea, which is not all bad, is that we should all love each other and show it in the way we communicate.
I agree, but in the apparent duality in which we find ourselves there is an upside and a downside to everything, including ideas. The upside is obvious – the world would be a more harmonious place if people loved rather than hated. People would cooperate and things would roll along smoothly as if on greased wheels. It is a nice ideal but reality is not an ideal. What is the downside of the idea that we should all only love each other and speak loving words?
The downside is that the human mind is not a non-dual bundle of love. It is a conflicted dualist. It has light, lovely elements and not-so-light, lovely, dark elements. And insofar as repressing one's feelings is not good for one's health, what is inside comes out. The idea with political correctness is that the dark side should not come out in public. It is a good idea. This is what manners are all about. Was Dogen PC? Did he mean that we should all run around hugging and kissing each other in the name of non-duality and keep our dark impulses in check? I don't think so. I think what he meant was that unless you are relatively free of the conflict that comes from injuring others, you are not qualified for enlightenment.
If a relatively peaceful mind is a prerequisite for enlightenment, then what am I going to do with my unloving impulses? I don't get what I want and I get angry. Should I lash out at the world? I think I'm right on certain topics – the war and the environment, for example. Should I write nasty notes about my neighbor's masculinity and stick them under the windshield wiper of his obscenely huge RV? Express or repress, that is the question.
The modern spiritual world seems to favor repression because, I think, they do not understand the meaning of Christ's statement. One of its most infuriating beliefs is the idea that, irrespective of what you are feeling, you need to prove your spirituality by being hopelessly loving. I think it is a good idea to love the people who come into the field of your awareness but if you are in a bad mood it is probably better to take a walk in the park than put on a smarmy smile and pretend that you are happy.
As I said above, hate is a strong word. I don't hate anybody and I don't really hate anything but I have strong negative feeling about certain kinds of ignorance. I don't think Christ meant that you should actively and consciously hate things. I think it realistically acknowledges the fact that human beings have likes and dislikes and that there is a reasonable way to express your dislikes without harming others. In my case, I dislike ideas that do not stack up with truth, common sense and reason. But ideas are always expressed by people. Whether or not human beings are authors of the ideas they express is another topic. But assuming that they are, how do you separate the idea from the person who espouses it?
Being a kind of public figure has its upside and its downside. You get to "make a difference," as they say. You get to vent and rant, inspire and uplift and generally work out your stuff in front of others and this is always good because we are social animals. The downside is that because you are putting energy into the field of existence, energy is going to come back. So if you say something that someone does not like, you will likely hear about it. Some of what you hear is based on what you actually said and some of it isn't. People project. They read into your words what they want to. Others listen to what you say and respond consciously.
In the newspaper business they say that there is no such thing as bad publicity. The fact that people are paying attention is all that matters. This is not the case with me although I like to be criticized. I like it because it means that my ideas are making people think. I don't say what I say to irritate people. I say what I say because I think it is helpful. It may be and it may not be – that is for others to decide. In my case, I teach Vedanta. Although I do not identify myself as a teacher – it is just a role I play when someone wants to know something about enlightenment – I follow the tradition. It so happens that Vedanta does not have the same take on how to attain enlightenment as Neo-Advaita. It says that ignorance of the nature of the self is the cause of suffering and that if you can get rid of your ignorance, you can stop suffering. It has ways of doing this – called prakriyas, or teachings – that are very effective. The tradition has been producing enlightened people for thousands of years.
The tradition is neither negative nor positive. It uses both negative and positive statements to remove ignorance. Ignorance shows up in people's beliefs and opinions, so Vedanta is forced to address them. It can show you how, based on your own experience and the logic of enlightenment, a certain belief or opinion is curtailing your freedom. So there is a long tradition of criticism in Vedanta. The Brahma Sutras, for example, patiently dismiss all manner of erroneous views about enlightenment – according to the revealed words of the Upanishads. In a much later text, Panchadasi, Vidyaranya Swami dismisses a number of incorrect views. Even Swami Dayananda, as mild mannered a sage as you can hope to encounter, makes no bones about exposing ill-considered teachings. The Vaishnava bhaktas attack Shankara as a "Mayavadi." For them it is a bad word. In modern times in the Neo-Advaita world, the "you are not the doer" teaching is most frequently associated with Ramesh Balsekar.
These attacks are usually not personal yet it can seem as if they are because certain ideas are associated with certain names. This is where Christ's statement is useful. He is saying that when you are feeling unhappy with someone's behavior or their ideas you need to discriminate the behavior, the "sin," from the "sinner." I take this to mean that the sinner is the self, awareness, under the spell of ignorance and that you are free to engage the person's ideas if they do not stand up to common sense and reason – and in our case, the source scriptures – but you should not attack the person. This is a tricky business because people are very identified with "their" ideas. I do not have this problem because the ideas belong to Vedanta. Not one of them is mine. Vedanta did its job on me and it did not leave me with one idea that I can call my own. So when you do not like what I say you do not attack me, you attack what I say. This is good. I believe I can defeat your ideas using the teachings of Vedanta if your ideas are ill-considered – but there is nothing personal in it. Truth does not take care of itself. People have to defend it or it will get overwhelmed by ignorance.
In the days before political correctness when consumer society had not reduced the general population to quivering blobs of hypersensitive, emotional ectoplasm with ego shells as thin as hummingbird wings and you could speak your mind without a terrifying visit from the custodians of spiritual correctness, people could actually take the heat without getting upset. There are virtually no Buddhists in India because the society put on great debates and Shankara, using the logic of the scriptures, defeated them. They either saw the light and accepted the truth or they went off content with their idea of truth.
Shankara did not think that non-duality was "his" idea. He said he was a link in the tradition and that is all. It did not start with him. The truth does not start with people. It is revealed to people. But people identify with it. I am always amused when I meet Western people in Tiruvannamalai, where I maintain a residence, who think that Ramana Maharshi invented self-inquiry. Experience, scripture, logic and reason establishes non-duality and nothing else. So when I attack Neo-Advaita, there is nothing personal in it.
In my book How to Attain Enlightenment I devote a whole chapter to a critique of Neo-Advaita. You could call it an attack. Some say I have a Vedanta vendetta going but it is not true. There are attacks and there are attacks. When a person is suffering and needs to relieve it, he or she does not sit down and develop a well-constructed argument outlining his or her grievances. The words just explode out of the mouth without any rhyme or reason. Most attacks are not about what they are about. They are just about getting rid of pain.
But my arguments, for which I have occasionally been chastised by friends, are not caused by some deep-seated psychological problem. They could not actually be called attacks because they are completely reasonable. Given the idea of liberation, given the fact that reality is non-dual and not the duality, plurality or multiplicity it seems, given the statements in the Vedanta scriptures, Neo-Advaita's idea of non-duality does not add up. It is fine in theory. It states the ultimate truth and then it leaves you hanging.
Here is an email that I received this week:
"I have been in the Neo-Advaita world and all I was ever told was that there was no methodology (because methodology implies the existence of a person! Argh!). My former teacher writes and speaks very clearly about the non-conceptual awareness that we are and he never allows one to get into a story about fixing things in the appearance but when backed into a corner, he would regularly say, 'Just get real clear about who you are,' which would prompt me to say, 'HOW? Get real clear how?,' to which he had no answer but repeated what he already said. I was extremely frustrated. In one of my last emails to him, I told him, 'They didn't write the Upanishads for nothing.' After that he dropped me like a hot potato."
He dropped her like a hot potato because he had no way to show her how to clear her ignorance. I told her that she should have asked him – in what has become a big joke in the spiritual world about the satsang teachers – "WHO is going to get clear?" and "WHO is telling me to get clear?"
You can't get clear yourself. Clarity is not something you do. Most seekers take ignorance for knowledge. Ignorance needs to be removed by a third party. Once you have a means of knowledge, then you can clear yourself. Vedanta is a means of self-knowledge. It needs to be taught. So when I point out that Neo-Advaita has no road map to take the seeker from where he or she is to where he or she wants to be, is that an attack? When I say – along with the tradition – that being enlightened does not qualify you to enlighten others, that you need a valid means of knowledge and the temperament of a teacher, and a qualified mind, is that an attack? It is just common sense. In the second chapter of my book I patiently demolish ten or so enlightenment myths – sacred cows in the spiritual world – in light of the fact that reality is non-dual. There is nothing personal about it. It is completely logical and it needs to be done because a lot of people have swallowed half-truths as truth and suffered considerably. I am overwhelmed by the positive response to criticisms. Where I was languishing in obscurity before I began pointing out the limitation of the modern instant enlightenment teachings, I can now barely keep up with the interest in Vedanta.
But these days logic and reason – even thinking itself – is the bad guy in the modern spiritual drama. It is all "intellectual" and therefore evil. I am not in the dark about what the spiritual police need from us. People tell me all the time. They need us to hug each other and say only nice things and hold hands in an Om circle so that nobody feels bad about himself or herself. This is all very fine, but bad ideas should not allowed to thrive in an atmosphere of uncritical thought.

(Crop Top: Urban Outfitters/ Skirt: Urban Outfitters/ Heels: Jeffrey Campbell)
So basically this whole outfit turned out to pretty much be Urban Outfitters haha. I absolutely love this skirt, I got it at Christmas but have only just worn it as it's not exactly the warmest piece of clothing I have! It's also such a lovely flattering shape for anyone to wear, the material is really stretchy and clings perfectly without being uncomfortable or unflattering. It's so so unbelievably comfortable to wear that I just know that when summer comes I'll be wearing this non-stop. I love the style of the skirt so much as it's different from anything I've really seen at the moment with the asymmetric design so that one side shows off some leg and the other doesn't which I think is a subtle, sexy touch.
I teamed this skirt with my glittery crop top also from Urban Outfitters (both the skirt and crop top are from the, Sparkle and Fade brand). I love this crop because it's so easy to wear in that I can put it with anything and it's great for nights out.
My beloved Jeffrey Campbell Foxy Spike's also got pulled from the top of my wardrobe that night, and I have to say, these shoes really did kill my toes that night. I don't know what it is, but these give me the worst blisters whereas my other Burgundy Jeffrey Campbell's don't. I guess it's just a case of breaking them in over time!

DPA 11.1 Availability Groups, SQL 2017, Oracle 12.2 and Amazon SubscriptionPosted by bmrad in Product Blog on Nov 9, 2017 9:05:30 AM
To kick off the Q4 releases, I am happy to announce Generally Availability of Database Performance Analyzer 11.1. This release continues to build momentum on previous releases by extending our support of Availability Groups, supporting the latest databases, and improving the DPA interface. We've also added a subscription option when you deploy DPA in the Amazon cloud.
Support for New Database Versions
We'd like to announce official support for the following databases:
- SQL Server 2017 on Windows
- SQL Server 2017 on Linux
- Oracle 12.2
- MariaDB 10.0, 10.1 and 10.2
When integrated with Orion, these databases will appear in DPAIM.
Availability Groups: Status, Alerts and Annotations!
New in version 11.1, DPA regularly polls the status of all SQL Server Availability Groups (AGs) contained in the monitored instance. The DPA Home page displays a new status icon which tells you that AGs are present in a monitored instance.
DPA's new AG monitoring gives you the ability to:
- See the status of all your AGs on the home page, including a new filter widget.
- When you drill down, see the status of AGs, databases, and replicas. This includes synchronization and failover status information.
- See annotations on trend charts that show when AG failovers have occurred. The annotations show you the previous and current replica (from/to), and allows you to correlate failovers to changes in load.
- Send an alert email when:
- An AG failover occurs.
- An AG status becomes Partially Healthy and Not Healthy.
For a detail view of new AG features, see this feature post: DPA 11.1: Improved monitoring of SQL Server Availability Groups
Amazon Subscription
Have a lot of databases in the Amazon cloud? You can now monitor them via your Amazon subscription, simply start up DPA from the AWS Marketplace, connect up a repository and start monitoring your databases. All currently supported databases can be monitored, and you can integrate DPA with your Orion server and see the data in Orion.
Improved Wait Time Status Indicator
The wait time indicator on the home page has been improved in two ways.
- There are 3 status (Green, Yellow, Red) instead of 2 (Blue, Red). Default thresholds are now 1.3x and 1.6x the historical wait time for Yellow and Red, respectively.
- We evaluate every 10 minutes, instead of once an hour.
This increased frequency and new thresholds allow DPA to show you wait time pressure much quicker than previous versions.
This new status is propagated to Orion via the integration module.
And a whole lot more!
- When you search for a SQL statement while creating an alert or a report, the search results include each SQL statement's total wait time for the last 7 days
- Improved instance filter includes if instance monitor is on/off.
- New icons and images that align better with Orion
- See the DPA 11.1 Release Notes for the rest!

One of my favorite shonen, Black Cat.
Shonen, meaning 'boy', is the most popular manga genre or in a more acceptable term for most connoisseurs, type. From eternal combats to learning the importance of friendship, this type of manga is mainly targeted towards teenage boys ranging from ages eleven to sixteen.
Fully understanding the shonen category may seem simple, but it really is a bit complicated. There exists different branches of shonen manga, the most known one is Nekketsu (boiling blood) which is an element that exists in almost every shonen manga.
List stolen From Wikipedia, these are the most reacurring caracteristics in Nekketsu:
- The hero is either a young orphan or lives away from his parents;
- The hero has a dream he wants to achieve no matter what obstacles;
- The hero is either innocent or honest;
- The hero is capable of doing extraordinary things, possibly knows magic;
- Along with his friends, he fights against evil;
- The hero participates in a sort of tournament;
- The hero's first enemies become his friends;
- Justice, Friendship, and the will to fight are the three main factors of Nekketsu;
- And more importantly, when the hero is close to losing or dying, he suddenly becomes stronger because of his burning will to win (this is where Nekketsu comes from).
Oh gee, I wonder why this Naruto image is here?

Dishwasher Hacks
Dishwashers do a lot more than just wash your dishes. Despite the name, your dishwasher can be used for many fun and quirky tasks like cooking, cleaning your boots or even washing potatoes! Your dishwasher has several functions that you can try. If you decide to get inventive with your dishwasher, make sure you use Finish® Dishwasher Cleaner regularly to keep your dishwasher clean and performing at its best for its "day" job.
Clean… Just about anything
Just because they're called dishwashers doesn't mean you only have to wash your dishes in them. Think pets toys, kids toys, tools (hammers, screwdrivers and wrenches are all dishwasher friendly), or even dust pans, your dishwasher is a multi-use tool that can clean just about anything. You may want to avoid mixing different items with your normal load, but try it with some extra items some time to see the cleaning difference.
Wash your Clothing
It may seem a bit strange to place baseball caps in your dishwasher, but it is perhaps the best way to clean off any sweat bands and marks that appear over the years. Baseball caps have a perfect shape for putting in the dishwasher, and you can really rinse out all the dirt inside the cap. You can also clean footwear: provided you've removed any lining, rain boots will easily be washed in a dishwasher, and flip flops can be too (we recommend placing them upside down on the top rack, depending on what you need washed!)
For some, it may seem like a myth that you can cook anything in your washing machine. However, it's true! You can, in fact, cook salmon fillet quite easily in your dishwasher. The reason is down to steam – your dishwasher won't likely exceed temperatures of 158F, so in fact it won't overcook (although you will have to run it on your highest setting). Rather, it cooks slowly to a melting texture, not dry or toughened out. Our tip is to ensure the fillet is wrapped tightly in foil, and ensure that you don't use detergent this time! For the method, check out the recipe here.
You can also clean your garden tools. Place trowels, garden forks and other tools in the dishwasher to get them back to their best, but avoid anything with a wooden handle as it may warp by the heat. You can even wash the fruits (or vegetables!) of your labours in the garden, to get rid of any soil. If you've found yourself with a mass of potatoes, then wash off the dirt with your dishwasher.

High Yields Can Come With Great Safety, But There Are Risks
Looking to earn greater than average fixed-income returns - ranging from 3% to 6%? Consider a secondary market income annuity.
The secondary market caters to owners of structured settlement payment rights who sell their future payments – payments that are guaranteed and paid by an insurance company or the state lottery commission – in exchange for a lump sum payment today.
These above average yields are created because buyers purchase payment stream rights at a discount, resulting in what can be an above average yield. How far above average? See for yourself.
Purchasing structured settlements is not without its risks. That's why you need an experienced team who knows how to perform proper and thorough due diligence.
Select & Buy Vetted SMAs Now
With yields ranging from 4 - 8%, our structured settlement offerings have been thoroughly researched & approved by a third-party legal team.
What Are SMAs & How Do They Work?
Secondary market annuities offer higher yields than typical annuities because they're purchased at a discount from sellers of structured settlements.

The Hutchinson Kennel Club has a number of members who compete in tracking, and they occasionally offer tracking classes to members.
The purpose of tracking is to demonstrate the dog's ability to recognize and follow the scent left by a person walking through a field, and finding one or more articles along the way. Tracking is a team sport and most dogs are quite good at this, and naturally enjoy using their noses.
We encourage you to add to your knowledge by reading these tracking books. By reading them you will better understand what tracking is about and if it would be an activity you would enjoy doing with your canine companion. If you intend to compete in tracking the American Kennel Club has a rulebook available. You can order it on the internet at http://www.akc.org

Just came across this blog today – haven't read anything but this article, but I'm pretty pumped about it already!
A good demonstration of the attitude people have towards government. People are bad, so we need a government made of people. (I took that last line from a business card for ancapfaq.com. It reads in a circle, so when you get back to "people", it continues on to say "are bad so we need a government made of people are bad"…. etc.)
So the first frame, "move to another bully's playground". I hear people say this all the time, "you have a choice, move to another country". Yea, and shop-keeps can move to a neighborhood controlled by a rival mafia family. And slaves can just move to another plantation, with different masters. There is nowhere to go, and that is why we fight so hard for America, because it started pretty libertarian, pretty free market. If there was an anarcho-capitalist society just over the border, you could say "move…

Its been a while since my last post. I needed a break to handle what turned out to be a rough last portion of pregnancy and a 2 month break settling into life with our baby girl. It certainly has been a hazy few months. I have felt like this often:
I considered giving up my blog, but decided to sit on it for a while. Glad i did as now that I am coming out of "zombie-land" slowly, I have missed my little space on here.
I recently had some great feedback from some friends when they saw my 'caught you being good' addition to our fridge recently. So, I thought I would share it on here too. My boys (8) and (5) have adjusted well to being big brothers. However, selective hearing has started to creep in here and there. Okay, there are days when I feel like I may just be invisible and that usually drives me nuts. I found myself always on the defensive back foot saying "no" too much. Add a sleep deprived mother and I was going crazy.
So, here is my attempt to keep things positive. I simply typed up a sheet with their name and used the off cuts to create a paper chain of 6 rings each.
The idea is when i catch them being kind/ doing something respectful or helpful etc... a ring is removed. When they get to the top, they get a prize. I'm not talking expensive toys here, gosh no! These will be simple things like:
- 10 minutes extra bed time
- choose the Friday night movie
- choose a dinner for next week
- make cookies with mum etc...
I look forward to getting back into blog land and getting my kitchen/ crafty mojo back. In baby steps though :)

This past week, Clara from I ♥ Food 4 Thought decided to throw down the gauntlet with some Macarons. She also invited any Tuesdays With Dorie member to join her on her faithful journey to Macarontown. I thought why the hell not. At first I thought she said Macaroons, and I was like sure I have extra coconut hanging around, but then, like Laurie, I noticed there was only one of those sneaky little "O"s. Which means something completely different.
1 "o" = French Macarons – egg whites, nut flour, and complicated little feet
2 "o"s = Coconut Macaroons – a lot easier to make and no crazy little feet
I thought sure, why not. I have made macarons on 3 other occasions (Opera, Blue, and DB Challenge). With all those three, I used Tartlette's base recipe for macarons. I never had any trouble with the feet or anything, but I always thought that I stirred it too much because mine were always round/flat and Tartlette's always had that lifted round quality.
This time Clara said she was going to use David Lebovitz recipe, which I have not yet tried. I don't know if I screwed up but the batter seemed more dense this time around, and I got the lifted round quality, but they weren't perfect enough. I think this time I didn't stir enough. I guess eventually practice makes perfect. For the filling, I decided to use some left over coffee buttercream and chocolate ganache that I had stashed in the freezer.
Because really…you never know when you might need some 🙂
They tasted great and Mike took the mini Macarons to work and they seemed to be a hit. The macaron gauntlet was thrown, accepted, and finished 🙂 Thanks for the challenge Clara.

PRAGUE, Okla. (AP) - A small earthquake has been reported in Lincoln County in central Oklahoma.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, a 2.8-magnitude quake was recorded about five miles northwest of Prague around 9:14 p.m. Friday.
A sheriff's office dispatcher said Saturday she wasn't aware of any injury or damage reports.
Small to moderate temblors have been reported in central and eastern Oklahoma this month, the largest being a 4.0-magnitude tremor near McAlester on April 3. Survey officials say residents as far north as Tulsa and as far west as Norman reported feeling that quake.
Geologists say earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 to 3.0 are generally the smallest that are felt by humans.

As Obama prepares to announce his vice-presidential nominee this week with McCain sure to follow soon, it is clear to many that the second spot on the ticket this year could be more important than in previous years. Both candidates have certain key perceived gaps in their appeal, and the vice-presidential announcements may well be calculated choices to help consolidate their offer to the electorate.
For the Democrats, Obama is relatively young and has a short stint in elected office behind him. He has never been a chief executive in government or business, has never served in the armed forces, and is considered inexperienced in foreign policy. His vice-president will aim to bring some of this to the table. His choice need not necessarily be much older than him, but they will need to demonstrate some of the above skills. Of the rumoured front runners, Senator Evan Bayh of Indiana is not a great deal older, but ticks the chief executive box having been governor of his state in the 1990s. Joe Biden of Delaware has been in the Senate since the early 1970s and is a foreign policy expert. Former senator Sam Nunn of Georgia is much older, and could be seen as a Cheney figure, guiding the younger man without any presidential ambition of his own.
McCain on the other hand has opposite weaknesses. If elected, he will be the second oldest man ever to hold the presidency. He is apparently weak on economic policy. He has spent over twenty years in Washington, and crucially this year, he is a white male. He is definitely looking for someone younger, perhaps much younger, and a Washington insider will not add much to the Republican ticket. Governor Bobby Jindal of Louisiana is half his age and one of the most high profile Asian American politicians in the US. Another Governor, Sarah Palin of Alaska, could add some contrast to the ticket and potentially win over Democratic women still bitter about the defeat of Hillary Clinton. Former candidate Mitt Romney is a successful businessman so could add some economic gravitas, show party unity, and show a clear line of succession to those concerned about McCain's age.
Of course, people may just vote for the main man this year as they often have done in the past. But the criticisms and media exposure are greater than ever before and therefore a vice-presidential candidate who can deflect attention, assuage fears, and give support and advice to the top man will be a friend indeed.

Description: "Awesome. Gorgeous. Perfect." - Tim, game designer (5/5)
"I still hear them scream at nights." - Eugene, lead developer (4/5)
"That's the game I've been waiting for!" - Alex, executive producer (5/5)
Have you ever been in a dream? What you see is not always what it looks like, right? The dream's fabric is made of light and shadow, and you will be it's weaver. Your task is to change the very dream's space and guide the nightlight through it to the socket, cleaning the dream from its monsters. This task is a difficult one, as the logic you're familiar with from your life is no use in a dream's reality.
This game will take you to another dimension of logic games. You won't get it the first time, and even the second. But as we guide you through this beautiful strange world, you will begin to understand that you've mistaken odd with hard. You will often find yourself in a situation where the solution, that seemed impossible just a moment ago, was right before your eyes. But as soon as you catch on the rules, every hardworking cell of your brain will scream with joy, celebrating each new victory.
The objectives are simple: you need to move the nightlight into a slot. It doesn't move on it's own, so you have to push, pull, lift, drop and catch it with the level blocks. There are two types of blocks: light and dark. Blocks of the same color stick together, creating figures that you move around. There is no "empty" space at all: when you touch the dark block, imagine that the light blocks are the "empty space", and vice versa - when you're moving a light block, the black blocks act as that space. Seems hard? Well then don't read this wall of text, go install the game - it may be easier and most surely funnier than you think.
Takes a non-standard way of thinking!
Keep away from stupid!
Can cause severe impatience!
5 monsters worlds
100 mindblowing levels with multiple solutions
Beautiful backgrounds
Charming nightlight
Non-linear thinking
Puzzle made fun with abilities
It really is easier than it seems, and here are some tips to help you till you get it:
The goal is to put the nightlight into a slot.
You can't move the nightlight directly. You can push, pull and lift it with the blocks.
You earn a star for each killed monster.
Monsters are killed when the nightlight passes close by.
You can move a block around when it is surrounded with blocks of a different color.
You can't move a block if the wall is on the way.
You can split a block with another block of a different color.
Two blocks of the same color stick together, forming one block
