Sunday 24 September will be a special occasion for Sarah Louise Grigor for two reasons. Firstly, it will see her complete her 100th marathon. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, it's also the day she's getting married
The 47-year-old personal trainer from Moray will tie the knot with her partner Chris Cull at a hotel overlooking the finish line. The couple are hoping to run the race arm-in-arm before dashing off to get hitched.
Sarah said: "I know brides are traditionally late for the wedding, but hopefully, we'll be able to keep up a decent pace, so I don't leave Chris waiting too long.
"We're aiming to do it in about four-and-a-half hours, but the most important thing is that we cross the line together. It holds very special memories for me. It was my first marathon and it was where I was bitten by the running bug – it was also my 10th marathon and this
year will be my 10th time running it."
Though Sarah is a Loch Ness veteran, 2017 will be Chris's first time taking part in the race.
He commented: "I've run quite a few marathons, but never made it to Loch Ness. Sarah always talks about how amazing the course is and what a great atmosphere there is – I know it holds a very special place in her heart.
"When Sarah told me she was aiming to make the 2017 race – the one that would take her into the 100 club – I wanted to do something that would make it even more memorable and special. That's when I suggested we have the wedding afterwards. So many of our friends are runners and will be taking part, it seemed perfect."
The event also includes the River Ness 10K, 10K Corporate Challenge, River Ness 5K and Wee Nessie fun run for pre-schoolers. Entries for all races are available online and there is an early bird discount for those who sign up before 1 March. For more information, visit the Loch Ness Marathon website.

Wine Advocate (Neal Martin) 92-94/100 The Haut-Batailley '10 is a blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Merlot. It has what you might describe as a very "natural" bouquet with wild blackberry, raspberry, just a touch of pencil lead and wet limestone. Not an intense nose, but very well defined. The palate is medium-bodied with very precise tannins, good acidity, just a little hardness at the front-palate, but this will soften. The backbone is very impressive, the finish very masculine, classic, the Cabernet Sauvignon dominating and imparting great purity and expression of terroir. Superb. As always, one of Pauillac's over-looked gems. Drink 2017-2040.
James Suckling (James Suckling) 92-93/100 An impressive intensity of fruit here, with blueberries and lemon character. Full and very well-integrated, with ultra-fine tannins and a long, long finish. Better than 2000?
Decanter Magazine (Steven Spurrier) 17/20 Very good depth of elegant Cabernet fruit and lovely fragrance and lift, a perfectly poised Haut-Batailley.
Pauillac is Bordeaux's most acclaimed appellation, the only one with three Premier Cru properties: Château Lafite-Rothschild, Château Mouton-Rothschild and Château Latour. These and other Pauillac chateaux produce robust, full-flavored and long-lived red wines made from Cabernet-based blends. Though winemaking techniques and microclimates vary throughout Pauillac, producing some variations in style, classic Pauillac wines have juicy flavours of blackcurrant and cedar, often with coffee, chocolate and graphite notes. Pauillac, part of the Médoc region on Bordeaux's Left Bank, has gravelly and well-drained soils that force vines to grow long and strong roots. Struggling a bit for water, the vines produce grapes with high tannins and concentrated juices. Nearby rivers and the Atlantic Ocean modulate temperatures, preventing the grapes from ripening too quickly. Such grapes make powerful wines that may age and improve for decades. However, in Pauillac, as in other old-world wine regions, some winemakers are working to develop softer red wines that maintain the local wines' traditional substance and flavours, but are more approachable immediately upon release.

Srinivas Kandula, CEO, Capgemini India, said, "India is today the delivery backbone of the group and will continue to play a significant role going forward. We have consolidated our training facilities in Pune and Mumbai and training and development will be a key focus on the people front in India going forward."
TCS remained the largest employer for 2015-16 while the Teaneck, New-Jersey headquartered Cognizant moved down to number three, making way for Sikka led Infosys, that stood second. Wipro remained the fourth largest employer, same as last year. The list also saw new entrants in Mumbai-based Intelenet Global Services that came in the 9th position while Canadian IT giant CGI sneaked into the top 20 list as the 20th largest employer.
These rankings come at a time when IT behemoths are reporting lacklustre numbers for the April-June quarter. Wipro announced a staid revenue growth with a 0-1% topline growth forecast for the next quarter. Infosys lowered guidance and TCS, the largest Indian software company, remained circumspect about the markets.
With tightening IT budgets and growing opportunities with digital, IT companies are trying to strike a balance between employing a highly skilled workforce and increasing automation. "We are investing heavily in skill development to ensure that we continue to upskill our talent base and create a high quality and performance oriented delivery organisation from India to support the Group in meeting its long-term business goals," added Kandula.
The IT industry currently employs 3.7 million people with around 2 lakh net additions in 2015-16, lower than 2.2 lakh additions in 2014-15. The Indian IT-BPM industry would require 1.2-2 million employees to achieve revenues of $100 billion by 2025, a recent report jointly conducted by Nasscom and McKinsey reveals.
As companies resort to automation of entry level coding jobs, bench strength optimisation and a highly skilled workforce to take on high value jobs, IT recruitments are expected to fall this year. Nasscom president R Chandrasekhar, at the sidelines of the HR Summit held in Chennai, said, "Companies are focusing on increasing utilization levels and reducing bench strength. They are also adopting automation in a big way and reskilling their employees so as to increase the net productivity per employee."
In a recent interaction to TOI, Saurabh Govil, chief human resources officer in Wipro said "The focus of the industry will be more on reskilling rather than hiring. Jobs at the bottom of the pyramid will be automated and existing people will have to equip themselves with newer skill sets that's relevant to the emerging digital landscape and clients' businesses. We are seeing the impact of this on fresher hiring."

Disability Benefits for Degenerative Disc Disease
Applying for Disability for Degenerative Disc Disease
Degenerative disc disease is a progressive condition in which one or more of the invertebrate discs in the spinal column ages more rapidly than normal. In severe cases, this can cause back and neck pain that can permanently disable a person and leave them unable to work.
Can I Get Disability for Degenerative Disc Disease?
Conditions causing Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) programs when they become severe enough to impede an individual's ability to work. Because degenerative disc disease varies in severity, successfully filing for disability benefits requires proper medical documentation that your condition has progressed to the point where you'll be unable to continue at your current job for a year or more, or perform in another position. In many cases, you may get disability for degenerative disc disease if the condition limits your range of motion, prevents you from walking properly, and significantly limits your ability to sit.
Social Security claim reviewers will be looking for evidence of nerve root compression, stenosis or similar medical signs. Typically, this will be shown with an x-ray, CAT scan or MRI that has been interpreted by a doctor. As many as 65% of disability claims for degenerative disc disease are rejected when they are first submitted, often due to a lack of proper medical evidence that proves the severity of the condition.
SSD and SSI
The first step in applying for disability for degenerative disc disease is to determine whether you qualify under the SSD or SSI program. If you have worked a sufficient number of hours and paid into Social Security, you qualify under the SSD program. SSI, on the other hand, is open even to those who have not worked recently or have not paid into the Social Security system through taxes on income from their previous jobs. During your free initial consultation, disability attorney Lisa M. Ritacco will help you determine which programs you may qualify for and advise you of the steps you need to take to begin filing your claim. Call today at 877-459-4799 to schedule your appointment!
What to Do If You Are Denied Disability for Degenerative Disc Disease
If you have degenerative disc disease and you've been denied coverage under SSD or SSI, contact Ritacco Disability Law today. Under federal regulations, you have 60 days upon receipt of your denial letter to file an appeal. Because of the time involved in obtaining medical records, an attorney should be obtained right away. Lisa M. Ritacco has been dealing exclusively with SSD and SSI claims for more than nine years — she knows the system inside and out, and can prepare a defense that may be able to get your decision reversed.

I can't stand it when essays, defined as "short literary compositions", start off with definitions. If the issues are so complex that understanding them requires an unusual vocabulary, then we're taking ourselves too seriously. And you are, by now, keenly aware of where I stand on THAT issue.
We humans (even with disproportionately long arms and hairy shoulders, I count myself among you) have a tendency to give ourselves a lot of credit. From learning the ABCs and knowing that flying F-bombs in front of your parents isn't really cool, to making your first car payment and being named as boss, we develop skills and amass achievements that give us the confidence to survive and thrive in a complicated world. Congratulations, but everyone else might not be so impressed.
When we give ourselves too much credit a lot of bad things happen, mostly pertaining to our relationships with others. Confidence is one thing, but arrogance and super-inflated egos are another. I think we work awfully hard to differentiate ourselves from our primate brethren residing on the other side of the cage walls at the local zoo. From the time we awake to the time we drift off into La La Land, we are predominantly driven to seek safety, be entertained and have sex. Beyond those motivators our differences are incremental, such as understanding words like "mellifluous" and "perspicacity." Aha, you had to look those up, didn't you?!
Our species is hugely driven by fears and parts of our brains of which we have very little awareness. Overcoming fears and pre-programmed behaviors takes a lot of practice, self-awareness and usually help from the outside – it's that difficult. How these fears and behaviors play out in the workplace is profound, and not typically supportive of a thriving culture and business.
Without trusting relationships, a culture of fear predominates and the things that underlie a thriving business…cannot happen.
Leaders' own fears might cause them to believe they are now in positions where they need to have all the answers, thinking that appearing fallible will cause employees to lose confidence or trust. Simply giving employees their tasks to support a top-down strategy and vision, whether or not they buy in, is a moot point. All they have to do is follow orders and everybody will be happy. Wrong. When leaders lead from what looks like strength, power, a know-it-all attitude and even a my-way-or-the-highway philosophy, it is impossible to nurture trusting relationships with those they lead. Without trusting relationships, a culture of fear predominates and the things that underlie a thriving business—like innovation, passion, purpose, talent retention, happiness, customer experience and optimal profitability—cannot happen.
I suppose it's possible that a power-based leadership style might originate from a genuine belief and predilection in one's superiority, without the basis of fear described above, but let's give those egotists a face-saving exit from making other people's lives miserable. No doubt some people are just jerks, and I say that they're rarely worth working for, preferring to address my efforts at those for whom dysfunctional leadership styles are more a matter of SELF AWARENESS. Those people we can help.
When you come to realize that you're not as evolved as you originally thought, and that you have a propensity for bananas and scratching your armpits, you may realize that YOU'RE NOT THAT BIG OF A DEAL. Let's call this epiphany HUMILITY. FYI, I did check a couple definitions of humility, and neither referenced bananas and armpits, so this might be my very first original thought, ever.
Humility coexists beautifully with self-esteem, authority, creativity, strategic-thinking, intelligence and hard work. In other words, you can be a leader and humble at the same time. The question is, can one be a leader when an unhealthy appreciation for oneself doesn't inspire people to follow? A leader without followers is something else, like lucky and overpaid.
Daniel Goleman, my favorite guru on emotional intelligence who coined the term EQ, does real research and writing on the topic. I subscribe to many of his findings and beliefs, occasionally repackaging and reporting them in more annoying ways. Daniel proposes a model of the mind as a three-tiered building with the first tier being the brain and the top being leadership competency. The middle, or second, tier contains four realms of emotional intelligence: self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy and social skill. With so many elements to emotional intelligence, I believe he's wonderfully-covered most of the bases with these realms.
However, I believe that humility deserves its own realm, or even tier—it's THAT IMPORTANT. Until we come to realize that collective wisdom is ALWAYS better than our own, that people will always be smarter, faster and better-looking, we risk thinking a bit too much of ourselves and alienating others. It's very difficult, if not impossible, to develop the trusting relationships necessary to build an optimally-thriving enterprise without checking our egos at the door. And, by extension, our businesses are compromised with leaders who are disconnected from their fallible, imperfect human natures.
So LIGHTEN UP out there and know that none of us is that big of a deal. Oh, and bananas are 19 cents apiece today at Trader Joe's.

Seven and a half minutes into his 10-minute rebuttal speech during our February 12, 2009 Darwin Day debate, Dan Barker noted that there are other reasons besides reason and truth that people come to their faith. He continued:
The most obvious one is geography. Geography is the greatest single predictor of what religion a person will have. If you were born in Baghdad, you can pretty much predict what religion that person will have. If you were born in Tennessee, you can pretty much predict what kind of person you are going to be with your religion, generally. Its the highest predictor (Butt and Barker, 2009).
While it may be true that geography is the highest predictor of a persons religion, it is important to understand what Barker is trying to say and why it has no bearing on the truth of the proposition that God exists. The implication is that if most people in an area hold a certain religious belief, then the mere fact that it is the traditional belief of that area should cast disparaging light on the belief, or at least should call into question the honesty and intellectual rigor of those who hold the belief.
When Barkers statement is studied critically, however, it becomes apparent that his point is moot. So what if the biggest predictor of a persons religion is geography? Does that mean that when geography is the biggest predictor of those who will hold a certain belief, then that belief is false? If that were the case, we could simply lump atheism in with all other religions and say that geography is the single biggest predictor of whether a person will claim atheism. Polls indicate that those born in China or the former Soviet Union, and certain other areas of Europe, are much more likely to be atheists than other areas of the globe (Major Religions of the World..., 2007). So what does that mean about atheism? We are forced by rationality to agree that it means nothing, other than the fact that most people, including atheists, adopt the beliefs of the people nearest to them. It says nothing whatever about the truth of the beliefs.
Suppose we were to suggest that geography is the single biggest predictor of whether a person will know his or her multiplication tables by age 12? Would that mean that all those who learned their times tables hold an incorrect view of the world? Of course not. Would it mean that the local knowledge of multiplication casts suspicion on the truth of the math being done? No. It has absolutely no bearing on the accuracy of the multiplication tables. Again, suppose that we said that geography is the single most important indicator of whether a person understands how germs are passed. Does that mean that all those people who wash their hands because that is what their mothers taught them about germs have been taught wrong? Certainly not.
In truth, everyone knows that geography has nothing to do with truth claims. Is it the case that truth seekers often break away from their culturally held beliefs, forsake false ideas, and embrace the truth that God exists, the Bible is His Word, and Jesus is His Son? Yes. It is also true that many forsake the cultural truths that they were taught as children, reject the reality of Gods existence, and exchange that belief for false worldviews like atheism and agnosticism. Yes, that happens as well.
In logic, there is a common fallacy known as a red herring. The term comes from the idea of dragging a fish across an animals scent trail in an attempt to throw the hounds off the scent. In logic, a red herring is a device used to divert the attention of the audience from the real point that is being addressed. When we look at Barkers use of the geography idea, something smells very fishy.

There really is nothing quite like a beautifully made hat for a wedding. Whether you are the bride or a guest at the wedding, it is well worth searching to find a stylish milliner. I am particularly fussy about hats, but I have recently come across Fina Foster and I really do love her work.
London-based hat maker Gina Foster specialises in making bespoke hats, headpieces and fascinators from her Atelier on Portobello Road.
London-based hat maker Gina Foster specialises in making bespoke hats, headpieces and fascinators from her Atelier on Portobello Road.
Tatler featured four of Gina's hats in its report on the 'best dressed guests' at the Royal Wedding and her couture hats have graced the pages of Vogue Russia, Tatler, Style, Brides and Grazia to name a few.
Gina opened her central London hat shop in 2010. She previously worked with legendary milliner Stephen Jones, leading the team in his 'Miss Jones' workroom and collaborating with him on collections for fashion shows, exhibitions and films. Prior to this she worked with fashion milliner Noel Stewart and society milliner Jess Collet, developing her elegant, understated style and her attention to detail.
All Gina's hats and fascinators are hand-made in her central London studio using materials of the highest quality.

Located in the heart of the West Village in New York, Greenwich Letterpress is a retro style stationary shop, specialising in gorgeous and whimsical cards and wrapping paper made using the artisanal old-fashioned method of the Letterpress.
Run by sister's Amy and Beth who originate from a family of printers, the store specialises in custom made cards for all occasions featuring woodland creatures and vintage designs. GL also carries their own ready made designs, my favourite being the Nature Calls series and beautiful graphic Thankyou cards.
All cards allow you to; choose a card style, embellish with covetable fonts, select from papers and pick from an array of gemlike colours. They also have an online shop for internet orders.
I would love to invest in their bespoke vintage business cards as above, but would never want to give any away!

We invited a few friends for dinner last Saturday night. We needed a quiet evening.
The world around us seemed caught in a whirlwind of destruction and excitement for the past few weeks. I know that this is always the case if one looks far and wide, but Sandy and the elections brought the whirlwind closer to home. The monster storm mercilessly pounded the East Coast and we worried about our family and friends. We spent hours watching television.
Then came the election day and the built-up frenzy made us all a little crazy. Again, we spent hours watching television. The kids kept calling or texting from various parts of the country (Massachusetts, Ohio, Illinois and Alabama) anxious and impatient at times, then celebratory and joyous. Obama won!
I had stayed up until two in the morning and was exhausted on Wednesday, but was happy and hopeful for the first time in many months. Someone in our family suggested that we have a victory party. Why not?
So, my nephew Sasha came home for the weekend, and we invited three old friends to spend the evening with us.
The weather has been balmy, in fact it has been ridiculously warm all week, so Jeff decided to barbecue. He and Joe slowly cooked chicken, Italian sausages, sirloin steak and hamburger meat on the grill, while talking and sipping beer. I made salads in the kitchen: potato salad with onions and fresh dill; shredded cabbage with radishes and cilantro.
My sister Branka spent the day baking. Every once in a while, when things seem to get especially out of control and we all need extra love and nurture, my sister reins us in with the flavors and the aroma of her baklava, walnut and jam cookies, or flat Serbian peasant bread (pogaca.) And so if was on Saturday.
By five o clock the large dinning table had been set with my sister's delicate bone china, the lights dimmed, and our friends started arriving with bottles of red wine, desserts (apple cake and blueberry pie) and a lovely side dish of cuscus and roasted vegetables.
The evening was ahead of us.
My favorite part of any gathering is the early hour of the evening, before dinner even starts.
This is how it usually is at our house: everyone sits in what feels to me like a magic circle of the sofa and the soft chairs of the living room, adults holding glasses of plum brandy or wine. We sit and we talk, and we have all the time in the world. Conversation meanders here and there, easy and spontaneous and the three generations of our little group are as comfortable and interested in each other as only dear old friends can be.
And as I lean back into the sofa, relaxed and content, sipping red wine, I marvel again at how impossible it is to force the kind of atmosphere that envelops the people in this room. It has taken many years to build up the trust and understanding between us. What we give each other on this ordinary Saturday evening is something magical, precious and unrepeatable.
It gives me strength to face the week.The Dinner Table, Henry Matisse

*** I received a gift copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review ***
These books must be read in the right order to avoid confusion and to keep up to date on the chronological order. If you haven't read 'Blind Allegiance' and 'Blind Mercy' then ya best get buying 😀
OMG Violetta Rand!!! You just keep sinking the addiction hooks in with each book that you write for this series 😀 😀
Again we're back with the Vikings and it's not a sugar-coated butterflies & rainbows love story. Violetta Rand brings us back to the harsh, violent reality that the Vikings lived in. That's what I loved most about this series. The author doesn't try to make it all sweetness and light.
The characters are believeable. There's not a character that is insignificant in the story. Each character has its role and reason for making an appearance.
Aaron: We're introduced to Aaron McNally in 'Blind Mercy' and truth be told, he's not really a very nice man. In 'Blind Redemption', well, the Redemption part speaks for itself. Aaron wants to make amends for what he has done in his past.
Kara: Kara Dalgaard was raised by her father after her mother died. Alongside her brothers she learned a few unladylike activities, one of which her father uses to humiliate Aaron.
The story: Women were often pawns in a man's bid to humiliate, take down, betray or embarrass another man so when this occurs in 'Blind Redemption', it is easy to consider it happening. The mannerisms and behaviour of the characters are not O.T.T and were more often than not spot on for the era the story is set in. Mind you, the mannerisms and behaviours of people have not changed across the years so you can probably imagine someone you know in certain roles. Descriptions: This author has the knack of giving you the ability to almost watch the scenes unfold in your imagination.
Overall: There wasn't any part of this book that I didn't like. From start to finish I was drawn in and when the book finished, I wanted more. If you like Historical Romance that is tough and gritty, then try this series. Having read the previous two books, I wondered if this one would be just as good. I wasn't disappointed. 5 Shamrocks from me and I hope there is more of this series to come.

Garlic Scape Season Has Arrived!
Hooray, my garlic scapes are finally ready for harvesting!! They're a little small this year - not sure if it's because I didn't get my garlic planted until very late in the season last year, or what the case is. But, either way, they will be yummy!
Tonight's dinner menu:
Pasta with Garlic Scape Pesto
PS - The pie I baked yesterday totally bombed in every way, but I'm going to eat it anyway - it was way too much work and way too expensive to toss. First of all, I broke my "eat-only-what-you-grow" rule because I had to buy strawberries since my strawberry crop was really skimpy this year. (I put new plants in this spring, so should be in good shape next year, but this year was a bummer - only a handful here and there.) Thankfully, my farm down the road had organic strawberries at a good price - cheaper than the non-organic strawberries at Root's! Then, when I was ready to bake the pie, I went out to the garden to harvest some rhubarb, only to discover I didn't have enough. :( :( Since the crust was already made, and the strawberries already purchased, I headed off in search of rhubarb. After driving all over the place and stopping at a number of roadside produce stands, I finally found some at the sweet little Amish stand where I've bought some in the past. As I was finishing up the pie, I kept thinking, "I don't remember the recipe calling for orange zest, I don't remember it calling for this much rhubarb, I don't remember crust recipe calling for so much butter, etc., etc." It wasn't until I sampled it (after I had WAY over baked it - note that I didn't say burned!), and it had bubbled out all over the oven that it dawned on me that I had used the WRONG recipe. (I have no idea how that happened - I am pretty meticulous about my recipe file....) I was so BUMMED!!! This is one of my all-time favorite recipes, and I had been looking forward to making it all spring. The final product is just not that good.... I made a huge pan to hand out and freeze for future desserts, so I will be eating not-so-great Strawberry-Rhubarb pie for a long time to come....
:( :( :(
Note: Be assured that the link above is to the recipe I should have used!

Bank Pillows
Aren't these cool?! A friend asked me to stitch pillows out of some old bank bags she found when she was cleaning out her parents' home. Her father worked for the bank in his previous life, so these have sentimental value for her.

On Wednesday 23rd May, Loughs Agency received a call about a pollution incident on the Owenreagh River near Dromore, Co Tyrone. Loughs Agency staff have located the source and the discharge has now been stopped.
Loughs Agency have deployed aeration equipment in order to re-oxygenate water. Where the Camowen River meets the Drumragh, near Omagh, the additional river water has diluted the effect of the pollution. Statutory samples have been taken and dispatched for analysis.
The Agency has unfortunately found evidence that the pollution has impacted the fish stocks and has advised that dead fish may be washed downstream. Fishery Officers will be assessing the number of fish effected by the pollution and the total number is not yet known.
The Agency continues to manage the pollution incident and is grateful for the support of local angling clubs, Ulster Angling Federation and FASTA. Northern Ireland Environment Agency are also working in partnership with the Agency.

- Manufacturer collusion is a serious breach of business practice and free trade.
- Non disclosure of said possible collusion is a serious ethical breach of media integrity.
These are the issues I have with the shennanigans at Beckett HQ regarding the Topps Tribute fiasco. Last night on Twitter, Steven Judd (former trading card brand manager) made the following statements:
"So Beckett got a loaded box, big deal. I "packed" quite a few of them over the years. Get over it. It's part of the business. Geez..... When the Beckett boards were more dominant. I would make a special "case" (I'd give the packout vendor a specific list of auto/mem hits to put in each box), have it sent to a buddy of mine a week prior to the release date, have him break the scan and scan all of the auto/mem cards and then post a box-by-box break on the Beckett boards around midnight on the night before the release date in order to get people excited about the product.
I like to call it guerilla marketing. Just to be clear, Beckett or the folks who work there have nothing to do with the "loaded" boxes they receive. It's the PDT/marketing people at the card companies that plot and scheme to jerrymander the box/boxes.
I think everybody takes some of this a bit too seriously. That's just me. Maybe I'm the jackass here, but it's just a box of cards. Again, I'm pretty sure Beckett Media, or any of its employees, is not responsible for all of the ills of this industry...good gracious can't you all at least think of something different to bitch about? Same song, same verse, different day."
Whoa. WTF is that!?!!
Ok, so we now know from an industry insider the facts, thus validating all of the "paranoid conspiracy theories" (as my arguements have been called by Beckett employees).
1. Manufacturers are capable of knowing what goes into a particular box and case.
2. Beckett Media is aware of these practices.
3. Loaded marketing boxes sent to Beckett do in fact exist.
The big problem here then is the lack of complete disclosure on the part of Beckett Media. However it goes beyond that. The desperate attempt to down play this practice with posts regarding the prevalence of 1 of 1's in the marketplace as reasoning for the box hits (see Chris Olds' blog post yesterday) only adds fuel to the fire and screams desperation.
Apparently I am not alone with these concerns as evidence by this thread on the Blowout forums, and this conversation regarding the potential legal ramifications with major case breaker and attorney I Am Joe Collector and fellow blogger, Box Busters, here.

Novel climate scenarios and future projections: scenarioMIP
In CMIP5, the RCPs were used to explore climate change. In the coming years, new scenarios will be formulated that should be used by the ESM community as part of CMIP6. This WP focuses on the development of new scenarios of the drivers of climate change (e.g. socio-economic development, future trace gas and aerosols emissions and future landuse/ land-cover). WP11 focuses on use of this data in generating an ensemble of ESM projections. This effort constitutes a major European contribution to the CMIP6 ScenarioMIP. Specific objectives are to:
• Develop improved methodologies on how socio-economic scenarios can best be developed to integrate knowledge on climate change, climate impacts, adaptation and mitigation.
• Improve information exchange between IAMs and ESMs in support of Earth system projections.
• Contribute to the design and development of a new set of scenarios describing the range of possible future evolutions of emissions and land use as input to CMIP6 Earth system models.

The age of Jesus.
Now, as of April 29th, I am the age of Jesus. Thirty-three.
The weather on my birthday (last Monday) was perfect. Like very light breeze, 70 degrees, no clouds, perfect. As soon as Tom got home from work we loaded up the car and made the 1 mile drive to the Tulip Festival where I wanted to take some pictures of my girls in their lace rompers before they grow out of them. Here are a few of my faves. The first one of Morgan is actually in our back yard. The others are at the festival.
Mo and I have an annual pass to the gardens where this festival was so we only had to pay for Tom to get in. I mentioned something about taking pictures after we had paid and the girl that works there was all, " are you taking pictures of your day or here to take pictures?"
I asked what the difference was and she replied, "we usually charge $100 for people to use the gardens as the background for their pictures."
Oh, well definitely of just our day then. Hello! I already paid that much for a pass. I'm going to take pictures!!! Of our day, obviously.
Some more about my day... the cake. It was so delicious!
I previously mentioned that I was going to try to make this raw, vegan carrot cake. I did it. And it was amazing. Amaze-balls-amazing.

Woodruff Sweitzer helps Morris innovate in all-new ways
At Woodruff Sweitzer, we know a few things about growers:
- They are inspiring entrepreneurs, get-it-done problem solvers, and the kind of people you want to call a friend.
- They do a lot of research before they decide to make a purchase. In behind-the-scenes content marketing speak, this means they get pretty far down the sales funnel before they buy.
- As much as they value a good price, they're also concerned with quality and customer service – basically, they want products from companies that care about their business just as much as they do.
Luckily, our friends at Morris Industries are just that kind of company. Which is precisely why they've built equipment with the precision seeding and haying technology, dependable performance and superior product support they need. It's also why they make it a point to listen, learn and grow with their customers.
While Morris hosts meetings with growers every year to determine the future of their equipment and their brand, engaging with thousands of growers in real time is the real deal.
To demonstrate their egghead-meets-loveable-farming-fanboy personality and move their self-educating customers a few steps down the sales funnel, we created the Morris INNOVATE Blog. On the surface, it's a simple microsite dedicated to delivering up-to-the-minute info about Morris products and promos. But dig a little deeper, and you'll find much more.
The ongoing content has been divided up to give users a complete picture of Morris' innovative equipment, unique brand and undying commitment to food production. From useful tech talk like "What farm apps are your favorites?" to user-generated content that shows how Morris is helping growers get the job done right, it's all the kind of useful, beautiful content that creates value. The kind of stuff that moves potential customers closer to purchase and converts current customers into long-time loyalists and evangelists.
So if you're a fan of farming – and the men and women who have dedicated their lives to cultivating a better world for the rest of us – hop on over and take a look around. Whether you spend your days feeding the world or communicating to growers, you may just like what you find. Three thousand engaged visitors (and counting!) already have.

WALPOLE, Mass. (MyFoxBoston.com) — A local man says when he got his Jeep stuck in the mud, a Walpole tow company charged him nearly $50,000 to tow it out.
Joel Ramer said he and his girlfriend took the Jeep off-roading in Walpole last week, and they landed in a mud pit.
Walpole police responded, along with Assured Collision towing company to tow it out.
It took 12 hours to pull the SUV out of the mud pit, but now Ramer doesn't know if he will be able to afford to get his vehicle back.
"When I went to pick up the vehicle from Assured Collision, he'd informed me there was some damage done to the vehicle, but didn't get into details. He also informed me the bill was $48,000," Ramer said. "I thought they made a mistake."
In addition to getting the vehicle stuck, he also got arrested and cited for trespassing and disturbing the peace. Ramer says he was unknowingly off-roading on private property that belongs to a utility company.
Ramer also claims that his Jeep is now totaled after the mud pit and the tow.
"Frame is broken, leaf spring is broken, drive shaft is broken," Ramer said.
Ramer obtained the itemized bill submitted to his insurance. Assured Collision billed him $16,000 for an on-scene supervisor at $1,250 an hour. He is being charged more than $10,000 for an off-road recovery incident response unit. There is also a $5,000 fee for dangerous condition liability insurance. All the equipment and manpower totaled $48,835 for the 12 hour job.
The owner of Assured Collision told MyFoxBoston that his seven man team was in dangerous conditions due to the proximity to power lines. He said it was a hazmat situation and all the fees reflect the industry standard.
He also told MyFoxBoston that Assured Collision is negotiating with Ramer's insurance company. In regards to the damage, he cited several issues with the Jeep he believes existed prior to the tow.
Ramer claims his insurance company is not paying anything towards the tow, so the Jeep remains at Assured Collision.

Artwork by ATILA
Cumbia and tropical bass continue to advance all over the world this summer, with the genres being featured in many gigs and festivals this summer. As always, releases seem to pick up in September as artists come back from their interdimensional travels and return to work. This time is no different as enormous amounts of quality cumbia is to be found. Here are some choice cuts from this month!
KAYGEE selected:
San Ignacio – Casiotone Rosa LP (Casa Caos / Fertil Discos)
Proper deep tropical business from Argentina with San Ignacio's new LP released in conjunction with two labels which are bringing out some great stuff recently: Casa Caos & Fertil Discos. They also invited several other artists to bring out some special edits for the occasion.
San Ignacio has managed to "incorporate his passion for literature and music" in this beautiful journey. The sounds are profound, really well produced, liberating a powerful atmosphere along the EP. Some tracks like 'Os Ventos' or Yule & JGB's rework of 'Ou Não É' stand out for me, but I strongly recommend you listen through the whole thing; it's a beauty !
Palenque Records Afrocolombia Remix (preview clips) (Galletas Calientes Rec.)
What a great surprise that was; I didn't see that one coming: a 5 track remix series "to pay a tribute to Palenque Records who are celebrating 20 years of musical activism in 2016". Galletas Calientes Rec. chose 5 artists who are currently moving the tropical / global bass scene around the world and who have now delivered 5 great remixes: Solo Moderna, Motin, Ghetto Kumbé, Dj Sabo and Rafael Aragon. All 5 of them have really managed to keep the essence and magic of the original tunes, and bring these traditional champeta & currulao rhythms straight to the dancefloor. It's out soon on vynil on Galletas Calientes Records, so pre-order it while you can at: http://www.toolboxrecords.com/fr/product/26627/oriental-jazz-cumbia-gypsy/galletas-calientes-10/
Jhon Montoya – Chuquy (Barrio Lindo Remix)
Barrio Lindo en la casa! I always love his productions; they are so tight and create such a great atmosphere. This one has a lovely repetitive and catchy groove to it, just in place for that amazing flute to come in and hit the spot.
We had the pleasure of meeting and seeing both John Montoya and Barrio Lindo play live this summer on a 'paradise beach' in Croatia: it was simply fantastic.
Kike Pintos – Zorro Negro (Barrio Lindo Remix)
And here's another remix from Barrio Lindo; the man never stops! This time he takes us on a journey straight into the Andes with a tribute to the great Kike Pintos. You can once more feel a superb ambiance building up in the tune, full of delayed details and heavy subs to bring the whole trip together. Love it!
El Búho – Cumbia de las Cosas Extrañas
I haven't seen this new series that every one is going on about at the moment, but I'll happily enjoy El Búho's edit of the themetune. This edit is so potent; its strong psychedelic cumbia beat evolves so well with these incredible atmos and crunchy noises all around. I don't know what else to say, it's simply beautiful!
[WeAreMadeOfLove] WAMOL II (Lump Records)
If you enjoyed the vibes of the last few tunes I mentioned, I really recommend you listen to this release, one of Lump Records' latest ones. It has 2 awesome remixes of Jota Karloza's 'Om'. We're moving one step away from the traditional cumbia beats but I'm sure alot of you will enjoy the deepness and heavyness of these remixes. They are both different and bring out distinctive parts of Jota Karloza's original tune, which make them come together really well in this EP.
Lascivio Bohemia – In love with u
I think I just missed this one last month, but here it is incase you also missed it. Psychedelic cumbia business in the hands of the great Lascivio Bohemia. His productions are always so original, and so genuine. They are always evolving and moving around, bringing in darker elements when you expect it the least, grabbing you with them on the way. I can't wait for this one to be released. Big ups!!!
Biomigrant ft Fredys Arrietaft & Toño García – La Muerte (Regional Label)
Last but not least for this month's selection is this amazing tune by Biomigrant, which is part of his new album recently released on Regional Label. What a tune! The whole album reflects how Biomigrant has "inspired himself from the richness of rhythms found in Latin-America and amplified them with the power of electronic music". Make sure you check the whole album out, and once more big ups to Biomigrant and Regional Label on this one!
And here's a little extract of Biomigrant in full live flute business:
While we're at it, here are some other sweet live sessions , documentaries, videoclips, etc… which have come out this month:
Picó: La Máquina musical del Caribe- La historia detrás de las máquinas
A wicked series of episodes, that takes us on short journeys into the Carribean Pico Culture. Make sure you check the newest episodes on: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCvD1zljWpKtioLCH5T3qZg/videos
La Nueva Vida Del Guakamayo (Spanish) El Velero Estudio – #1 (Partir De 0…)
It's amazing to follow Srgt Garcia's adventures in his 'sailing studio'. The boat is slowly, but surely, shaping up and looks like we're going to be hearing more from 'El Guakamayo'.
Echoes ECR Cap. 9: Primera Parte
A nice insight into the origins and current musical movement happening in Ecuador which we are all following through artists like Lascivio Bohemia, Nicola Cruz, Quixosis, Huaira,…

Silly tang selected:
Two very big names in the industry have come together on this remix. You can feel the very warm, dubby bassline from Negro Dub which brings this cumbia to its true colours. Then we have the king of the cumbia and his accordion with this very unique sound and way of giving us the latin American feeling.
Swindle – Connecta Ft. Ricardo China
For my 2nd choice this month I wanted to bring one of my favorite producers from the last 3 years to the table. SWINDLE is a true underground veteran and keeps on lighting us with his UK bass music hits and then takes the time to produce beautiful pieces such as this one. His production is always very based on those tight drums and a very deep bass sound. You can feel the London vibe coming straight at ya!
Eyeunle: guiro para change – America afroindigena label
Here we have a very authentic and rooted cumbia sound with proper traditional instruments. I absolutely love this song. Not my traditional selection but when it comes to music made with such respect and truthfulness to its roots I just cannot stop getting inspired by its sound and spirituality. Out on the label America Afroindigena please go and get yourself this masterpiece on soundcloud for free!
Loko Bono – Sistema beat Andino Steppa remix:
Now you might know or not know that I come from the Dub scene and I truly love this music. Cumbia came along a long time after I started this love of music J So when the master Loko Bono comes forward to present us this Steppa masterpiece I just couldn't control myself. I had to mix it and remix it for almost a whole night! The production is very nice and has totally managed to get to that Hard Steppa style, but for me what breaks it down is the vocal. This voice is truly a blessing from the sky.
Yo me Llamo Cumbia radio show – Tribilin Sound
So this is not the first time I share one of these podcasts and really they are all amazing J
I wanted to bring this one out because of two tracks which stood out for me. First of all the Loko Bono remix mentioned above and then the unreal track by Tribilin Sound called X E*vax – Hijas! It is a half breed of Cumbia and Juke together with a totally twisted melody pon top. Really dig the man´s work recently getting into more bassline vibes.
Shushupe – sarayacu taricaya ep:
Now listen to this kick and bassline starting this track. Fabulous track with those acid melodies coming in. I cannot stress enough how amazing the production for this EP is – very very potent indeed. I think this type of EP has a place within the tropical world but also on many other fronts such as Minimal techno – or even disco. Really clever and ear pleasing piece of music!
El Cifickzer X El Kombo Kolombia – El chavo banda se siente relajado (Hnry X Sonidero Sabotaje Edit):
Once again I mention the Rebajado Mix crew, Hnry and El Cifickzer I know J But honestly I think I´m developing an addiction to cumbia rebajada and well they just do real good works these days and it seems they are not here to stop. So we can hear the original vibes to this track by El Cifickzer and then those slight kicks coming in by Hnry! Really nice and smooth cumbia we have here for everyone to enjoy free of charge so go run tell your friends!
Rebel up ! Soundclash – Andres Landero – Rosa y Mayo (Rebel Up! Duckfood Remix):
Would you like some bassline cumbia for your ears ? Well if you have some huge bass sound system en casa please turn it up!!! This version by Rebel Up Soundclash of a classic cumbia is a real sound system artillery. Big ups and we hope they carry one bring in on some nice remixes or even original Cumbia tracks!
Secta Selectah – El acordeon:
Now this all time player has come to us with a track that reminds me of a Totty style cumbiaton! Real nice groove on this one helped by this accordion and those breaks within the tune. You can also hear those samples coming in everywhere as the song plays which gives a real nice originality to the beats!
Cal Jader – Movimientos Nueva Colombia mix:
London Calling ? No its Colombia calling J
The mastermind behind the mighty events "Movimientos" has just landed in Colombia a few days ago from what I know and to promote his stay he delivered this sublime mixtape. I know this is the end of summer but for Mr Jader it seems winter doesn't exist ! Special request on his travels!
Larry SKG : SmallFall – Jungler (Marimba Remix)
Getting to the end of my selection for this month but I couldn't let you go before mentioning this amazing piece of music. I had never heard of SKG before, a producer from Greece. He has nailed it with this remix. I love the Marimba instruments and love this really ill sound he has blended with it. I´m sure a lot of music will come out from this very talented producer so keep your ears out.
Moonanga – Tropical mix
Stream: https://www.mixcloud.com/MOUNANGA/100tropical-mix-by-moonanga/
And to finish off this real good month of Cumbia I wanted to introduce you to this band. It's a duo, a very loco guy and a lovely female accordionist. Let's say the guy goes by the name of Chongo Reinhardt and the lady of " I mas". Together, they form the all mighty Moonanga! We have had the pleasure of spending lots of time with them this summer and trust me they are full of new sounds and treasures coming out. Here is a presentation mix they made filled of classic and twisted dancefloor killers.
Coconutah selected:
Morenita (Sonido Satanas Remix)
Part of a new remix LP on Tropic-all, this cumbia remix by Sonido Satanas delivers on all levels. Classic Mexican vocals combine with catchy synths and instruments and a groovy bassline in great style. Good tune for the dancefloor, arriba la bebida!
Lascivio Bohemia – La Visherita Flashera
Lascivio bohemia features again for a brand new electro cumbia release, la Visherita Flashera. A very organic buildup is followed by some more "villera style" electronic synths and leads to an eery, spooky drop. This is a great mix of potent sounds and has a very original side.
DJ Caution – Hot Steppa
This new offering from DJ Caution is red hot. A very sexy electro cumbia, dancehall inspired stomper, it brings great vibes whenever it plays. Badboy pitched down vocals ride a carribean, tropical drum beat while an amazing accordeons spices things up. Tune!
Pinduca — Mistura de Carimbó com Ciranda (iZem's Tropical Discoteq Special Fix)
Izem presents a cool Little edit of a original brazilian gem. Heavy shakers, a sweet cumbia groove and a catchy melody bring this number into 2016. This is very fresh and very tropical.
The Rebel – Cumbia Dub
This little nugget carries its name perfectly, and manages to build an old school 70´s dub feeling into the drums with tasty guiros over the top. A classic dub bassline and some swirling synths round the track off. Big up!
Dunkelbunt – Duck Polk
I don´t think I had ever seen Dunkelbunt, Balkan and swing legend, make a entry into the cumbia scene. This is forthcoming on his album and is certainly an original beat. Just like the previous tune, this rides that fine line between cumbia and dub perfectly. The acid guitar sounds absolutely amazing – it will trip you out.
Thanks for listening and reading and see you next month!
