What can we say? Our time here just gets better and better. Today was no different. :) The guys and girls were separated today and the pictures will tell the story for the most part!
The guy's day —
Themba Training — painted, repaired desks, arranged furniture, moved industrial sewing machines, and helped prep stuffing for the Themba stuffed animals (cut MOUNDS of scraps out of old wet suits).
Mama Themba — painted, installed an air conditioner unit, repaired a roof, and a few more handyman jobs. "The site maintenance man was so appreciative of the hard work. He told us that the work we did today would've taken him a month to get done."
The girl's day —
Mama Themba — we were so encouraged by the staff there and hope we were an encouragement to them. Praying for the mom's in labor, recovery and coming for a check up was the highlight for our day!
Themba Training — we got to meet a couple of the contracted young people who make the beautiful items you can purchase. (I bet your loved ones bought something!!!)
Our day ended with John and Rona Miller, Thembalitsha Board Members, coming to our guest house for dinner and sharing many nuggets of truth with us. You can read about them at www.themillers.bike to see what AMAZING people they are as they love Jesus and spread the word about Thembalitsha. Here are some nuggets that we think you will enjoy:
"The devil isn't going for the blood of the lamb, he is going for your testimony. And your testimony is your message to the world!"
"You can not say 'NO' to the Lord. If you say 'NO', you can't call Him 'Lord'."
"What is in your hand? Whatever is in your hand you can put to use!"
"Enjoy the journey; there will be ups and downs, heat and cold, good and not so good."
"Be thankful and demonstrate trust. Communicate and persevere."
"There's no baby Holy Spirit. There's no juvenile Holy Spirit. He is."
"It's good to know what your strengths are, and it's good to know what they're not."
"As Christians, you are moving thru this place called Earth. You're destination is heaven. Where you stay here is just hotel rooms."
"Take time to stop for the one."
Funny quotes:
Kyle asked Marla, Project Director for Themba Training, "Where does South Africa end and the next country begin?" Her gracious response: "At the border."
When at dinner this evening a few folks were sharing photos of their kids. It's ONLY happenstance, she says, but SARAH asked Aaron at about this same time "Do you really have a picture of your Xbox on your phone?!"
(Funny coincidence!)
We love y'all. We have some big projects set for tomorrow!! We can't wait to show you the photos and tell you all about it! For now, enjoy the photos from today and come along this journey with us!

"The first studio recordings in twenty years from the greatest artErrorists of all time." (1995)
From 1971 to 1975, Germany's Faust carved a megalithic reputation as the greatest avant-garde group of the era. Formed in the spirit of the May '68 uprisings, they inspired the term "Krautrock," influenced generations of subsequent bands, and to this day define an entire genre.
In 1994, Table of the Elements brought the reclusive Faust to America for the first time, taking them on tour and orchestrating their return to the studio. The result is Rien, the first studio recordings from Faust in over 20 years. With considerable contributions from producer and performer Jim O'Rourke, Faust have managed to create a record as unflinchingly audacious and uncompromising as their earliest work. An aggressive collection of electronic pastiche, musique concret, power tools and group improvisation results in an extraordinary return by one of the seminal experimental ensembles of all time.
"Rien is rattlingly contemporary, thanks to the production hand of Jim O'Rourke, who has taken the rudiments of Faust's adventurous spirit and transplanted it into a wholly modern context. The influence of this most exacting sound sculptor has effectively created something akin to a dialogue between the contrasting experimental apparel of 70's Prog rock and 90's purveyors of the Ambient aesthetic. There are industrial mantras of almost crushing intensity, neo-psychedelic jams, concrete interludes, even a passage of bittersweet irony in the plundering of Gorecki's Third Symphony (the additional chorale of Industrial noise serving only to heighten the tragic air of Gorecki's original). This is Faust resharpened and revitalized, no longer part of rock's dinosaur parade, but a reshaped, refreshing, challenging voice in 90's experimentalism."
The Wire
"O'Rourke vacuum-packs Faust's ear sabotage—rain-dance drumming, power-tool percussion, the crackle of gunfire—with such vivid energy that Faust sound less like a band than a living organism. In this rabid age of post-punk extremism, Faust seem quite at home, and Rien sounds very, very Now."

From 1971 to 1975, Germany's Faust carved a megalithic reputation as the greatest avant-garde group of the era. Formed in the spirit of the May '68 uprisings, they inspired the term "Krautrock," influenced generations of subsequent bands, and to this day define an entire genre.
Here, Faust re-unite for their first concert in fifteen years. Recorded in 1990 at the Prinzebar, Hamburg, this disc documents the gamut of extremes for which they are infamous, ranging from overblown electronics to acoustic passages to a frenzied application of chainsaws and power tools.
"Faust do not just play rock & roll; they bring life to its darkest, most dangerous essence."

With their use of industrial tools, construction materials, unusual sound sources and invented instruments, Faust's infrequent concerts are memorable, chaotic events. Here the group return to the site of their most notorious 70s appearances: England. Cheered on by an exuberant crowd at London's famed Marquee Club in 1992, Faust continue to delight and confound.

"Out-machines Metal Machine Music."
"Whether you heard it in 1972, or in the present time, it still kicks infinitely. At its most basic, this an early fusion of the classical and avant-garde with the more rock and pop sensibilities of the day, something not seen since the Beatles' Stockhausen riff, 'Revolution #9,'and scarcely since. It couples minimal tones with an almost James Brown-like bass-kick bottom and relentless thrust. The results are prodigious, prophetic, powerful. To this day there's still nothing quite like its primitive, otherworldly chug ... Together [Conrad and Faust] elevate into endless crescendos and cascades of holy sound, floating on an Om-like soundwave. Whether an initiate or a first-timer, this is something quite timeless."

An old Zen koan comes to mind; delivered through the lesser hands of seekers and compilers, beats and Deadheads, the New Age-- but surely, I imagine, of wise and noble provenance somewhere back. A flag flapping in the gale sparks an argument between two monks on the nature of things. The first declares that the flag is surely moving. The flag is still, counters the other, it is the wind that is moving. Sure enough, where an insoluble paradox appears, the wandering master is not far behind. Which is it, ask the monks, is the flag moving or is the wind moving? Neither, replies the master; mind is moving.
Fair enough. Take it, like any wisdom, with a grain of salt, but it springs to mind. Not because Tony Conrad sees still air and a flapping flag, or because Faust occupy a world of volatile weather, but just because, for a moment in Outside the Dream Syndicate, one forgets what exactly is moving and what is standing still.
Here's what we know: in October 1972, at a hippie commune in WŸmme in southwestern Hamburg, a German art-rock collective bred on the stringent drone and skag-pop of the Velvet Underground hooked up with the young composer who gave that band its name-- or rather, who handed Lou Reed the sadomasochism exposŽ whence the band derived its name. Tony Conrad and the members of Faust collaborated for three days on an album that would be released the following year in England and would tank immediately thereafter. The musicians did not communicate or collaborate throughout the following two decades.
Minimalism is unquestionably the wrong word; I prefer asceticism. Anyone familiar with the Zappa-like hysteria of Faust's first album or the searing kosmische of IV must imagine the sheer force of self-denial at work in implementing Conrad's vision: to have a deep base note tuned to the tonic on Conrad's violin and to have the drummer "tuned" to a rhythm that corresponded to the vibrations. Minimal in design, I suppose, but catastrophically huge in execution.
"From the Side of Man and Womankind" opens in dead motorik, the usually nimble percussive battery of bass guitarist Jean-HervŽ Peron and drummer "Zappi" Diermaier, stalled out to a hollow thud-- like the heartbeat of a machine. Conrad's violin bleats mournfully, endlessly; rising, breathing, sighing, screaming, but without ceasing: relentless. Faust resisted. Peron's second bass note, inserted against Conrad's wishes, adds a spring and thrust to the proceedings. Zappi's odd cymbal crash shatters like punctuation in a prayer. Faust producer Uwe Nettelbeck dulled the serrated violence of Conrad's violin, somehow rendering slow murder into long caresses. "The Side of Man and Womankind" runs like a conveyor belt through fog: going without moving, advancing, standing still.
"From the Side of the Machine" is oddly less mechanical than its counterpart. A half-hour in length, like "Man and Womankind", the "Machine" side ruminates with muted psychedelia: serpentine bass, ceremonial percussion, the purr and roar of Rudolf Sosna's humming synthesizer, Conrad's violin passing high above like an electrical storm in the upper air. There is a predatory quality to the "Side of the Machine": an encircling peril, a certain restlessness above and behind. Mind moves, as if hunted.
The Thirtieth Anniversary Edition of Outside the Dream Syndicate adds a second disc of material. Two brief tracks-- both named with the young death of former Dream Syndicate comrade Angus Maclise in mind-- offer the remaining fragments of those three days at the abandoned schoolhouse studio at WŸmme. Both the slow burning "The Pyre of Angus was in Kathmandu" and the tremulous "The Death of the Composer Was in 1962" reveal a looser agenda in the sessions. In the latter piece, Conrad abandons the impassive drone of the first disc for an almost celebratory psych-rock. The second disc is rounded out by an alternate production of "From the Side of Man and Womankind", lacking the overdubbed violin lines of the album version.
So perhaps a little Zen, perhaps a little cataclysm. After all, as Lou Reed said, "It's the beginning of the New Age." And a few decades before that, a poet ended his long flirtation with Buddhism by joining the Church of England. In his conversion poem, however, he continued to pray with eastern paradoxes. "Teach us to care and not to care," T.S. Eliot intoned, "teach us to sit still." And this album finally begins to show us how.

Tony Conrad with Faust
Outside the Dream Syndicate ALIVE!
Table of the Elements
[Cadmium] TOE-CD-48
Compact disc, print, foil stamp, stickers
Minimalist pioneer Tony Conrad and notorious krautrock progenitors Faust met just three times: in the studio to record the groundbreaking "Outside the Dream Syndicate" in 1972, and twice on the concert stage in the mid-1990s. This recording documents their third and final encounter, at Queen Elizabeth Hall, London, February 18, 1995. The difference between the original session and this live event is astonishing. While Conrad's aggressive string sound was tamed in the studio by producer Uwe Nettlebeck (Conrad has complained that the mix made him "sound like a hippie"), here it is full of menace and ferocity, and in tandem attack with the equally belligerent violin of Jim O'Rourke, it conjures a raging wall of sound. When the Faust rhythm section finally kicks in, no one is in the mood for restraint, and the whole thing bolts on a merciless, scorched-earth gallop. Bassist Jean-Herve Peron plays with such fury that he snaps a string (no easy feat on a bass guitar), shreds the flesh on his fingers, and is soon covered in blood; meanwhile drummer Werner "Zappi" Diermaier pounds away, standing, in his inimitable, robotic style. After a relentless 40-minute onslaught, Peron signals the set's abrupt conclusion by smashing a brick with a sledgehammer, while Diermaier destroys his drum kit a la Keith Moon. At this point the elegant atmosphere of Queen Elizabeth Hall thoroughly disintegrates, and the antagonized crowd nearly riots. Hecklers and supporters continue to shout each other down -- until they're drowned out by a rollicking encore.
The booklet contains brief interviews with Conrad and Peron, and a first-person account from Gang of Four's Andy Gill, who sounds justifiably intimidated by the entire performance. The packaging includes alternate photos from the 1965 photo-booth strip that graced the original studio release, plus stickers and a silver foil stamp.
"A large curtain of scrim hides half the stage. In front of it, two men stand motionless, one a barefoot bassist, the other a balding drummer standing, Mo Tucker-style, behind a drum kit which, in the intervening 20 years, has shrunk to just one snare, one tom-tom and one cymbal. Behind the scrim, backlit so his shadow looms hugely, is Tony Conrad, the minimalist-violinist with whom Faust once recorded an album entitled Outside The Dream Syndicate. A cellist and another violinist sit alongside him, also motionless. Conrad plays a chord, then keeps on playing it, a piercing, mesmeric drone of immense, ear-endangering volume. Some time later — about 10 minutes into the performance — the other string players join in with similarly minimal intent, setting up a static harmonic drone which continues for another 10 or 15 minutes before the bassist and drummer suddenly launch into the kind of riff which Status Quo might have discarded as being too basic. The drummer bangs each drum alternately at regular tempo, looking for all the world as if he's jogging on the spot; the barefoot bassist, meanwhile, pummels his instrument with such singleminded fury that, shortly after he begins, one of the thick, well-wound strings has snapped. Have you ever tried to snap a bass string? It's not easy. Usually, you need pliers, but there are no tools available on-stage tonight. "
Andy Gill, Mojo
"…Conrad masterfully created a piece that no matter when it was produced evokes such a strong physical reaction. This is raw, building, blistering, pounding, droning brilliance! The way momentum keeps building works its way into your body and about half way into the piece you can't stop from getting completely wrapped up in it. The droning violin, the dirty percussion, the gut wrenching passion underneath and above it all!
It's amazing how in these sounds you can hear so much of a handful of contemporary favorites: Godspeed You Black Emperor's explosive drama, The Dirty Three at their most wild and rocking, Swans/Angels Of Light's blistering poignancy, but it all ends up seeming sorta like little league in comparison to the blood and guts that oozes out of this performance. As always Table Of The Elements appropriately package the cd with the care it deserves including some nice short conversations with Conrad and two great stickers of Conrad's face. Absolutely recommended!"
Aquarius Records
"Apparently minimalist pioneer Tony Conrad and notorious krautrock progenitor Faust only ever met three times; once in the studio whilst recording 'Outside The Dream Syndicate' and twice onstage during the 1990's where they brought that album to life in the live arena. A recording of their third and final encounter, 'Outside the Dream Syndicate Alive' was taped at Queen Elizabeth Hall London on February 18th 1995 and acts as an astonishing diktat on the raw power afforded by the live arena. Worth owning for the blazing row that ensues between members of the audience after the show finishes alone (choice putdown: "shut the fuck up you middle-class prick"), 'Outside the Dream Syndicate..." is pretty hard going; with Conrad's aggravated strings gnawing at Jim O'Rourke's equally gobby violin, whilst Faust's rhythm section is typically merciless. Closing with a brick being smashed by a sledgehammer, this is not for the delicate hearted; but for those who relish a live experience that extends beyond over-priced T-shirts and spilt Stella, then 'Outside the Dream Syndicate...' is a thrilling experience."

It's easy enough to make romantic claims for an artist like Tony Conrad. He's one of those guys. Ur-Sixties. Quintessential cult figure. Resident outsider. Rebel angel. The minimalist who came in from the cold. He's got the kind of immaculate credibility that can't be bought and can't be sold. [And how else, otherwise, could he have persevered?] Rumbling under the cultural radar since the Kennedy Era, Conrad is at once first cause and last laugh, a covert operative who can stand as a primary influence over succeeding generations, while pretty much conducting most of his business in obscurity. That is, until about 10 years ago, when the Table of the Elements label finally blew his cover for good. And because he'd kept such a low profile, when Conrad did pop up, the impression made was a good deal more spectacular by sheer dint of surprise. Who, exactly, was this guy? It was an unusual weekend in Atlanta, Georgia, when people began to ask—again. Conrad was having one of his first "coming out" parties, and despite some of the odd circumstances, it could not have been staged more memorably. The Manganese Festival, which doubled as a kind of avant-garde debutante ball for Table of the Elements, went down April 23 and 24, 1994, at the exact same time as Freaknik, the "spring break" for students from the circuit of predominantly black colleges. Atlanta became an urban version of Daytona Beach for three days, with traffic grid locked, boom boxes shouting, and provocatively ample derriere-shaking for mile after mile along Peachtree Street—the main stem that runs into the heart of "The City Too Busy To Hate." The festival was sequestered in a complex of art galleries off an industrial side street intersecting Peachtree (and thus, cut off in such a way that anyone who managed to drive in could not possibly hope to drive back out until the traffic jam subsided many, many hours later). This was ideal, for anyone hoping to maximize the singular nature of the experience. You could check out any time you liked, but you could never leave. Perfect for a first encounter with Tony Conrad. He cut a curious figure, Tony did, in his bowler hat and his shorts, prowling the premises with a video camera, documenting the goings-on as if at some family reunion. In a sense, it was: The gathering tribes included Thurston Moore, Lee Ranaldo and Steve Shelley from Sonic Youth, electric harpist extraordinare Zeena Parkins, avenging Japanese guitar hero Keiji Haino, the anarchic artistes of Faust—Conrad's long-ago collaborators on "Outside the Dream Syndicate"—and the then-unknown, now-ubiquitous wonder boy Jim O'Rourke. Pioneering British improv trio AMM was in the house, as was New Zealand's rare-to-such-shores Gate. This was an unusual assortment of performers, a Lollapalooza for fringe-dwellers, and a model for further electrical storms—such as the All Tomorrow's Parties festival—that would light up the skies into the new millennium. By the time Conrad finally came to perform, sandwiched between the jet-engine decibel bath of Haino and the ritualized freak-out of Faust, even those not in the know were primed for a paradigm shift. The city was in a gridlock, as surely as if suffering a collective panic attack or celebrating a coup d'etat. What better moment to pump up the volume, and tune in to those strange frequencies.
Excerpt from "Tony Rocks"
Steve Dollar
New York City
March, 2003
Interview: Tony Conrad and Jean-HervÉ Peron, 2004
TONY CONRAD: I basically said, "Keep an even beat going throughout the whole thing," which is almost impossible. When I worked with Faust, I told the bass player this, but they didn't believe me. They don't even remember working with me. When it all came back recently, they had no recollection at all of working with me. I think they knew the record existed, somehow Uwe Nettelbeck had sucked it out of them. There were probably many reasons for that, including the fact that somebody must have been burning a pot field around where they were working, because there was so, so much pot smoke in the air. It was incredible. And who could remember anything under those conditions. I told them that they should just keep the beat steady, but when you play like that for a half-hour, it's really unbelievably difficult and painful. Like when we played at Queen Elizabeth Hall in London, Jean was playing with great fervour. I said, "Let's play for 50 minutes." The set broke down and we stopped early, and he came back and he was very excited, and he showed how his fingers were bleeding. He was ready to play more — the flesh was actually stripped off his fingers, (laughs) it was a nightmare, I couldn't believe it was happening.
Q: Why and how did the collaboration with Faust come about? Why did you choose them? Were you aware of their music?
TC: I was approached by a filmmaker in New York, who was aware of my music, who was from Hamburg, and he told me that he knew a producer who would be interested in me, and that maybe we could make a record. So we set up a date, and as a matter of fact, at the time I had been working as an electronics technician for a small company that was planning to send me to Paris. That was because I was good at sales, and we were going to have an expo in Paris. But then the kid who owned the company got his college roommate to learn the electronics instead of me boning up on my French, and his roommate went and I stayed at home. So I quit, and decided to go to Europe anyway. La Monte had been commissioned to do a room for [large annual German art show] Documenta in '72 and he hired me to be his engineer. So I did that, and when I was finished, I showed my films around, and went to Berlin, because I had, something more than a decade earlier, spent half a year bumming around in East Berlin, and I had all of these friends from this very strange scene, which is now part of some history that is so weird and gone that no one will ever understand how strange it was. But it was the most extraordinary situation I was ever in in my life, and I wanted to go back and hang out with my friends in East Berlin. And after I did that, I flew to Hamburg, and was met by Uwe Nettelbeck, who took me to this farmhouse, and there were these people hanging around out there, I didn't know who they were. [laughs] It was these people Faust. And they had been, to some substantial degree, incarcerated in this farmhouse for months, and they had their partners and sexual liaisons and different social complexities enacted on a long-term basis within this farmhouse. It was a microcosm, where everything seemed to have been evolving in some strange way over the course of months and months. It was no wonder that they really didn't really have a lot of involvement with me, and I thought of them as musicians that I could use in my record. But Uwe said that they wanted to do stuff too, so we did one that was my style, and one that was more like a rock 'n' roll style. That's how there are two sides.
JEAN-HERVÉ PERON: Ohh Tony! The Queen Elizabeth Hall gig was quite something! I thought it lasted longer than 50 minutes though. Time is relative said Einstein and can be bent. Zappi and I (and Tony) agreed that I would stop the piece (someone had to stop it you know or else we'd just all dehydrate on stage as no one would dare stop it it first) and the sign was me hitting a cobblestone with a sledge hammer (just to make sure no one could incidentally overhear it), and that was my main concern during the whole show even when I lost my plectrum in the first five minutes and realized I did not think of a spare one; even when I broke the E-string on my bass; even when I saw blood dripping at my feet. The idea of this small, square, hard, granite stone and this small, hard, steel head and me, me being as the vector of a perfect trajectory ending with a clean impact and hundreds of people watching this... Oooh Tony, what if I miss? What if I miss?! This obsessive idea helped me through the whole show. The violins and the cello were burning their high-pitch ferociously equalized tones in my brain, Zappi was sweating his wild dog-sweat and the stone just laid there, waiting patiently for its fortune. That's why I was so excited, at the end... Because it stopped... Because I did not miss.
Q: I was at the QEH gig and it really was an extraordinary experience. I'm sure it was more than 50 minutes as well.
J-HP: A strange thing began to happen after about 15 minutes where the way your ears work seemed to change; it's hard to explain exactly but several people I spoke to felt the same. A few years later I spoke to Zappi about the gig and all he said was "I think it was very loud" — as indeed it was! I remember Jim O'Rourke and Tony fiddling at the mixing desk with a look in their eyes, which was a mixture of anger (the sound man did not meet their wishes obviously), amusement, mischief and insanity. The fact that people had the feeling that "something changed" is probably purely morphological: The great Lord designed our ear system with a "limiter" so whatever comes to our ears and exceeds whatever the Maker thought intolerable will be cut off. Our ears close! Yeah, Hallelujah, that's high-tech, that is love, that is a wonder, and it is good.

CCS is currently performing a contaminated soil remediation project, restoring Jane Clark Park in Tacoma, Washington under the supervision of Washington State Department of Ecology. As part of an ongoing project, CCS is cleaning arsenic and lead from the park area which were carried by the wind from the former Asarco copper smelter and contaminated soils over a large area of Puget Sound. While contamination levels do not pose an immediate threat, CCS has been contracted to excavate, transport and dispose of contaminated soils from the top 12 inches from 2.2 acres of mostly lawn areas and replace the area with clean topsoil and reseeding the lawn. Portions of the soil removal call for the use of vacuum trucks to prevent damage to tree roots. Sections of the park are set to reopen in the fall of 2013 while others will reopen in the spring of 2014 once the grass is established.
CCS is a Pacific Northwest area provider of industrial, environmental remediation and hazardous waste management services with locations in Longview, Aberdeen and Port Angeles, Washington as well as Portland and Eugene, Oregon. 24-hour services and equipment include vacuum trucks, hydroblasters, street sweeping, land and marine spill response, hazardous waste transportation and disposal, tank cleaning, sewer and line cleaning, storm water services, tanker trucks, hydro-excavation, boiler floor cleaning, confined space rescue, UST cleaning and decommissioning, HAZWOPER safety training, and more.

To help you feel more comfortable with adding color to your home, you may want to start a little more slowly & give yourself some time to adjust to the changes.
A great place to start adding color to your home is with colorful art & accessories.
First, select a colorful piece of artwork for your home that you truly love. One you can't stop thinking about. One that gives you a wonderful feeling that fits beautifully with the way you want to feel in that room.
Go for a large piece of art that really makes a statement. For instance, maybe a large colorful painting for your living room.
Next, pick two colors that you really love. Colors that make you feel really good when you look at them. Pull inspiration from your artwork in choosing at least one of those two colors.
Now grab a few accessories in varying lighter & darker shades of your two chosen colors to sprinkle around your room. That way your new art will no longer be the lone colorful oddball in the room,… it will be beautifully balanced by your new accessories.
Remember, no matchy matchy perfection here,… keep it loose with a mix of shades. For example, a vase, some candlesticks, a few toss pillows, & maybe even a throw, all in various lighter & darker shades of the two colors you chose.
And for a brilliant finish,….. add one bold pop of color from your new artwork that you've not yet used. You know the one… it's that beautifully wild color that felt way too daring! Now's your chance to add one item in that color to a key area of your room that you want to feature. Is it a bright magenta, perhaps? Then how about a magenta flower on your coffee table or fireplace mantle? Simply beautiful!
3. Go all in and decorate your home with all the beautiful colors you love!
OK, now that you've gotten past your fear of color & are truly connected with the joy it brings you, and now that you've introduced bits of color into your home that feel just right, why stop there? Go all in! Add all of the beautiful colors that make you smile!
Picture a dark teal sofa with pale violet toss pillows against lovely sky blue walls. Or a cherry red chair against a soft lime green wall color?
They key to decorating with lots of color is to focus on just a few main dominant colors in your room in varying shades, and then sprinkle in little touches here & there of other colors you enjoy. That way everything will balance together just beautifully.
So are you feeling ready to decorate your home with color?
You can do it!
Just remember, color is pure joy! And you deserve to live in a home that brings you joy each and every day. And also, it's totally OK to start slow & get used to adding the colors you love to your home bit by bit.
So what are you waiting for? Start adding those beautiful colors you love to your home today! And soon YOUR home will be that beautiful colorful home that everyone else is eyeing & wanting to know how in the world they can create a home for themselves that's as beautifully colorful as yours!
So tell me, what area of your home will you be adding that first colorful piece of art to get you started? Tell me in the comments, I'd love to hear!

What Is an Electromyography?
Electromyography, or an EMG, is a kind of electrical test. An EMG is designed to find out where there might be nerve damage in a person's body. It is particularly useful for locating nerve damage in a patient's arm, leg, neck, or back. Nerve damage be a result of conditions that cause muscle weakness, such as muscular dystrophy and nerve disorders.
How Does An EMG Work?
Essentially, an EMG replicates your body's natural process. In your body, nerve cells send signals to your muscles, which causes electrical activity in them. This activity is what makes the muscle tighten or contract, which is what causes the actual electrical activity.
During an electromyography, a needle electrode is inserted into the problem area. The needle transmits whatever electrical signals are coming from the muscle, allowing the doctor to diagnose whether the patient is suffering from one of three conditions. An electromyography can diagnose:
- Diseases of the muscle itself
- Diseases of the neuromuscular junction
- Diseases in the nerves and nerve roots
Since the transmission from the needle is readable on a monitor, the doctor can go over the results immediately and work with the patient to explain the diagnosis and what treatments might be available.
Mystery Pain
A lot of patients feel mystery pain. They come in with complaints that they have seen multiple doctors who used a number of different tests but always came back without an explanation for the pain. An EMG is a great tool to use in cases like this because it gives a different view of why the patient is so uncomfortable. An EMG is a unique test because it isn't an imaging test. It allows the doctor to directly test the function of the patient's nerves as well as give them a better idea of why they're feeling pain and what they can do to get rid of it.

Barmy Kev reports on day with mixed messages
I woke up on a great high from previous days cricket. What could possibly go wrong today? Over breakfast at the hotel someone pointed out it would rain at 3pm. Then someone got phone out and said it's going to rain from 11pm . I leave hotel at 10pm it's raining heavily. Definitely no play for a while. I met someone at Premier Inn Hotel by the ground who insisted it is going to stop raining 3pm. Various other devices differed from it will stop at 1pm . According to the BBC Weather it changed every 5 minutes probably on toss of coin. My comment this is changing like the weather was not well received. Nor was when they tested fire alarm my favourite chant" is this a fire drill"
This all did my head in too so went to Weatherspoons where I met HDO who's device said no play today . He was planning a strategy for day with in-laws trying to incorporate cricket. I also met Talliman at various places for first time. Any contributors to MTWD you are not safe near ground when no play.
At 4 o'clock it stopped raining but was damp and dark. I gave up on any cricket today. Back to hotel and Worcester fan said there will be play soon. Various texts it is now a 4.45
Meanwhile RodEd nominated reporter watched Rocketmann film instead and offered to do report from there. "Film Okay but preferred Bohemian" and here's photo of Cox (headline photo ). Then sent dreadful pun involving wicket with Tongue and Cox.
In ground I counted about 50 there. With light always an issue was happy we added 70 more. They are off for light 630 that's it for day even though light improving. Back at hotel hear we are back on. Missed 2 overs that including a 6 and 4 then off.
Evening I'm at Don Shelley birthday celebration at Cricketers Pub . We are watching some tin pot European cup competition with all players and the Lawman present. Gubbo happy with result. Like the weather they were mixed messages on whether we will declare overnight. I urged them to and they ended up agreeing. Whether this was to shut me up or thinking 353 is enough I don't know. I reminded them I was the one that shouted out the Rabbit on and that caused end of previous day last wicket stand.
Interesting day ahead tomorrow with by all accounts no weather interruptions.

All too often, drivers act like cyclists don't belong on the road. And that's not entirely their fault: By and large, city streets are designed to support cars, not bikes. This can have dangerous, road-ragey outcomes when the two modes mix.
But drivers actually have bicycles to thank for the fact that most roads are paved at all. Much more than that, bicycles influenced the design of cars and their mass-manufacturing. Bikes also were a vehicle of first-wave feminism, helped underpin the development of cities in the 20th century, and informed the invention of the airplane.
The Mechanical Horse, a slim, dazzling cultural history of the bicycle by Margaret Guroff, reminds readers of these and other contributions the two-wheeled fliers have made since their invention in the late 19th century. It gives cyclists a history to be proud of (plus some ammo the next time some car cuts them off).
Before the modern bicycle came many iterations of faddish cycling machines, including the high-wheel bike. It might be parodied today, but in the late 1870s, they were high-tech speed machines, all the rage among strapping young men of the upper class. With these bikes' direct drivetrains and towering heights, "There was just about no way to ride it if you didn't have lots of strength, or if you wore cumbersome clothing," Guroff tells CityLab.
Eventually, bike-makers tapped out market for the high-wheel, and recognized that other people wanted to participate in the new, speedy mobility that cycling offered—namely, women. In the 1880s the chain-drive was developed, so that bikes could go fast without a huge front wheel. That enabled the invention of the much smaller, and more modern-looking, "safety bicycle." Shortly after that the first lady's "step-through" frame was developed.
At first, women riding such bikes were considered scandalous. "Bike-makers made all kinds of technological adaptations, but there were still cultural adaptations that needed to happen," Guroff tells CityLab. By the 1890s, enough women were doing it that riding—and even shedding skirts in favor of bloomers—became acceptable. At a time when "women may not yet have had full access to higher education—or even the right to vote—the unchaperoned, self-propelled bloomer girl seemed to be pedaling in that direction," Guroff writes. Wrote one famous women's rights activist of the era: "Woman is riding to suffrage on the bicycle."
The bicycle craze of the 1890s coincided with one of the worst economic downturns in U.S. history (wealth inequality was almost as bad as today), but it wasn't because bikes were cheap. The 1890s were also a time when booming factories and immigration numbers caused urbanization to surge. People were living closer together, making it more possible for those who could afford it to use the bicycle to get from place to place. "Whereas previously, you had to live in walking distance of where you were going, or you had a horse and carriage if you were well to do," Guroff tells CityLab. But bikes took advantage of and helped foster a new, denser kind of life in cities, where leisure time enabled by factory work gave people more things to do and places to be.
Ironically, at least from a 21st-century vantage point, bikes also helped pave the way for the earliest suburbs. "It is well known that electric trolleys triggered the growth of American suburbs during the 1890s, when metropolises splayed out like starfish along the new transit lines," writes Guroff. "What is less well known is that the bicycle preceded—and then competed with—trolleys as a way to pursue the picket-fence life." The two modes blossomed right around the same time, and for years it wasn't clear which would establish dominance. "Many more persons travel the streets on bicycles than patronize the [street]cars," one 1898 report by the State of Pennsylvania, quoted by Gurof, read, adding that the bicycle "has become a most formidable competitor of the street railway companies." The streetcar won out by the early 1900s, and later came cars. As Guroff puts its, cars' appeal drew from the ease of mobility offered first by bikes, and their manufacturing style, pioneered by Henry Ford, was inspired by bicycle factories.
When you hear that the Wright brothers were bicycle mechanics, it seems extra amazing that they managed to invent a functional airplane. "You think it must have been a lightning strike of genius," Guroff tells CityLab. "A friend of mine said that hearing that these bike mechanics invented the airplane is like hearing a pet-shop owner cured cancer."
But at the turn of the 20th century, people thought that if anyone was going to fly, it would probably be bicycle experts. Bikes had created a thirst for new kinds of mobility, and they were the closest anyone had come to powering the sensation of flight. "The flying machine problem is liable to be solved by bicycle inventors," one New York newspaper, quoted by Guroff, proclaimed in 1896. "The flying machine will not be in the same shape, or at all in the style of the numerous kinds of cycles, but the study to produce a light, swift machine is likely to lead to an evolution in which wings will play a conspicuous part."
Orville and Wilbur Wright weren't alone in their tinkering; bike-makers across the country competed and collaborated to advance lighter-than-air technology. But it was they who succeeded first. The technology behind 1903's Wright Flyer drew from bicycles in a number of ways, from the chain-and-sprocket transmission system, to the "wings braced with bicycle-spoke wires," writes Guroff.
But most intriguing is the theoretical influence the bike had on the concept of human flight. Aeronautical engineers also racing to put people in the air were convinced that airplanes had to be self-balancing once in flight, able to right themselves automatically amid gusts of wind, like a toy punching clown. This was an elusive quest, which led to many a fiery crash. The Wright brothers, meanwhile, "had an insight that came straight from cycling," Guroff writes:
They understood that a plane didn't need to be stable. Like a bicycle, it could be inherently unstable and could be flown in the same way a bicycle is "flown": by a rider making constant, tiny, unconscious adjustments.
Thus inspired, they innovated a steering system copied after the way birds torque their wingtips as they turn. And flew.
The Mechanical Horse speeds through to the modern era, chronicling the role of bicycles in 20th-century warfare, their significance as a trapping of 1960s childhood, the '70s bike boom inspired by environmentalism, and today's proliferation of fat bikes, cargo bikes, and E-bikes. Along the ride, Guroff peppers these historical accounts with lively quotes from primary documents and her own sharp, modern insight. As she makes plain, it's not just cyclists who have bicycles to thank for the way they get around—it's everybody. And that makesThe Mechanical Horse worth a read for the most avowed drivers, too.
Cities that require builders to provide off-street parking trigger more traffic, sprawl, and housing unaffordability. But we can break the vicious cycle.
Two new studies have revived the long-running debate over how police respond to white criminal suspects versus African Americans.
From ancient Rome to modern Atlanta, the shape of cities has been defined by the technologies that allow commuters to get to work in about 30 minutes.
In spring 2018, news of the water crisis in South Africa ricocheted around the world—then the story disappeared. So what happened?
Pittsburgh is the worst place for black women to live in for just about every indicator of livability, says the city's Gender Equity Commission.

BI's Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.
To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, "workers compensation". This will limit your search to that combination of words.
To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, "hurricane" & "loss".
Getting your message heard in legislative and regulatory arenas can be a difficult task. The American Insurance Assn. has actively pursued reforms and other measures in both of those areas, in all 50 states and on Capitol Hill.
Through the years, the association has effectively persuaded legislators and regulators to listen to our message and act on our recommendations. What we've learned is that our most effective legislative strategies pursue reasonable goals. The best messages are simple, concise, supportable by facts and delivered by someone with credibility.
In our dealings with legislators and regulators, AIA's message is always the same: Competition is better. The method of delivery may change, as may local tactics, but the underlying theme -- the core philosophy -- remains. Regulations and laws should be crafted to stimulate competition and encourage the development of mature insurance marketplaces. If there's anything history has shown, it's that competition makes people work harder, think smarter and be more productive. It also results in fairer prices for consumers.
Most insurance executives would agree that the insurance industry is the most heavily regulated private business in existence. Too little of that regulation inspires competition. In the name of protecting consumers, it places a heavy burden on insurance providers and ends up making the products less innovative and more expensive. Over the years, the AIA has been a staunch advocate of state-by-state regulatory reform and has worked to pass numerous pieces of legislation. During that time, some lobbying principles have emerged.
First, define clear objectives. It's obvious but sometimes overlooked: You have to know what to ask for to get what you want. Over the past three years, the AIA has led efforts in more than 20 states to identify and reform antiquated insurance laws and regulations. Many of these rules were implemented at a time when most insurance purchases were local. Now, numerous insurers have interstate and international customers. The AIA's efforts are aimed at keeping the regulatory environment in step with the marketplace. A primary target has been price controls on commercial lines of insurance. This year, the AIA focused on eight states (Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania, Arkansas, Alaska, California and Oklahoma) to change their systems from regulator-dependent to market-dependent. In each of these states, regulators must approve rates insurers charge their customers. This relegates insurance pricing to the government. Imagine the government setting prices on automobiles. Or personal computers. Or ground beef.
One of the most important aspects of a legislative or regulatory effort is that the message be clear, concise and consistent. With insurance, it's sometimes difficult to take the reams of technical information and boil it down to plain English. But it has to be done. Legislators deal with countless issues and myriad proposals. They don't have time to study the nuances and intricate details of every item that comes across their desks. It's the advocate's job to present the information in a form the legislator or regulator can understand, digest and act on.
It's also essential that the message be supportable by the facts. The AIA uses its legal department and a professional research team to ensure that our positions are supported by real-world activity. That's actually a part of our goal-setting process. Equally important, information should be absorbed by the association representatives who deal with legislators and their staffs, and the news media. When the inevitable request for a detailed explanation occurs, the spokesperson must be ready.
Making use of local resources also is important to getting your message heard. Part of this is identifying elected officials philosophically aligned with your position and establishing a continuing relationship. Through the years, the AIA has found that the most effective messengers are people already in the community. They're also the best at identifying legislative and regulatory allies. In addition to seven regional offices and an office in Washington, AIA has lobbyists and counsel in all 50 states. This presence has helped us establish unique relationships with legislators and regulators, as well as find other sources to increase support locally.
Another resource, often underused, is the insurance company representative. These representatives don't always have to be chief executive officers or company presidents. Many times, the most effective representative is a branch manager who can discuss how the proposed legislation or regulatory reform will affect his or her day-to-day operations. Insurance agents also have proved to be willing and persuasive advocates. Other times, in carefully selected situations, a face-to-face conversation between CEOs and legislative leaders and governors has tremendous impact.
It's also critical to develop alliances within the non-insurance business community. A variety of businesses are interested in controlling their workers compensation expenses, for example, and have led reform efforts in many states. Doing your homework, which is important in setting goals and message development, also can help recruit other businesses by demonstrating the effect a proposed regulatory change would have on that company's insurance premiums. For many companies, insurance is a major expense. They're always willing to help in the lobbying effort if it means their insurance dollars are spent more wisely and not wasted on inefficient regulation.
Success in the legislative arena also requires setting realistic goals. At the AIA, we try not to chase unrealistic objectives, which can waste valuable time and resources. Instead we focus on an aggressive agenda designed to improve our members' balance sheets. Our goal is to give our member companies a return on the dues they pay us. With the vast array of special interest groups involved in the political process, universal support for a proposal is unlikely. Staking out logical positions, supported by data, lends credibility and helps get proposals passed. It also might help defuse the worst elements of a measure harmful to industry interests.
Perhaps most importantly, those within the insurance industry must be willing to get in the trenches and fight for the type of legislative and regulatory environment needed. The reason trial lawyers and consumer groups are successful is that they're organized, aggressive and committed. While some insurance companies also have developed mechanisms that encourage employee participation in the political process, the industry as a whole will enhance its ability to pursue its agenda if more companies become involved.
Like many industries, there is much diversity in the insurance world, which can sometimes lead to division. The AIA realizes the importance of a unified industry and works with non-members and other industry organizations to ensure a united front. The industry enjoys its greatest success when it works together on issues.
Over the years, the methods of communicating messages to policy-makers may have changed, but the goals haven't. The AIA's stated mission is to lead the property/casualty industry in the public policy arena and to create a political and regulatory climate that enhances the industry's financial security and global competitiveness. With the commitment of ample resources and a unified industry message that is communicated effectively to regulators and legislators, these goals will be accomplished.
Joseph A. DiGiovanni is senior vp-government affairs for the American Insurance Assn. in Washington.
