In part 12 of our Getting To Grips With Pro Tools series, we are going to take a look at tips for using and selecting plug-ins and presets, selecting presets, creating and recalled plug-in chains and audition plug-in presets easily.
Plug-in Presets
If you are forever applying the same preset on a plug-in then you can set it as the Default setting for that plug-in so whenever you choose that plug-in it will have that preset pre-loaded. To do this, first make sure that the plug-in is set to default to the User Settings, which you can do from the Settings menu.
Now select your chosen preset and then go back into the plug-in Setting menu and select Set as User Default.
Plug-in Favourites
Although in the early days when you don't own too many plug-ins, you won't need to scroll to far down to select the one you want. Once you have more plug-ins, the list gets very long.
However there is a neat trick where if you click on your favourite plug-in in the list whilst holding down the Command (Mac) or Control (Windows) next time you look, it will be at the top of the list.
To remove it simply repeat the process and it's gone!
Find Plug-ins Fast In Pro Tools
This is a premium video tutorial from Russ to show you how to use Favourites in Pro Tools. Once you know this you'll never go back!
Using Plug-in Chains In Pro Tools
The new Track Presets feature also allows for partial recall of a track preset making it great for saving and recalling plug-in chains.
In this free video tutorial, Julian demonstrates how thorough a job Avid have done in implementing this feature. These new workflow enhancements go beyond saving plug-in chains, though that is quick and simple to do, and allow comprehensive control over exactly what gets stored and what gets recalled. You can learn more about the new Track Presets and Plug-in Chain feature added in Pro Tools 2018 in our article Free Tutorial - How To Use The New Track Presets Feature In Pro Tools 2018.
How To Audition Pro Tools Plug-in Presets Without Using Your Mouse
It is possible to audition Pro Tools plug-in presets without using your mouse, simply by using the up and down keys on your computer keyboard and with a modifier key you can jump between preset folders.
This is particularly useful when auditioning synth sounds when playing, but it can be used for any kind of Pro Tools plug-ins, here's how.
Open The Plug-In Settings Dialog
The plug-in dialog window is a handy feature in that displays in grid form all your saved presets and any shipped with the plug-in. If those presets are in folders then you can also navigate through those too. To open it use the button that looks like two rectangles on top of one another. See the red legend in the image above.
To Navigate The Plug-In Settings Dialog With Your Computer Keyboard
You can navigate around this folder using the up, down, left and right arrows on your computer keyboard.
To navigate to a new folder press the Command key on a Mac or the Start key on a Windows computer and then the up or down arrow key.
This tip is especially useful when using virtual instruments.
Free Tutorial - Tip For Comparing Plug-in Chains Using Keyboard Shortcuts In Pro Tools
In this free video tutorial we offer a nice tip to allow users to quickly AB alternative plug-in chains in Pro Tools. It's very simple but the best ideas tend to be simple...
Shift + Number Shortcuts
There were a number of really useful shortcuts introduced in Pro Tools 11 which revolved around bypassing and muting plug-ins and sends in the Pro Tools mixer using the shift key. To toggle bypass for all plug-ins in inserts A-E use Shift+2, to toggle bypass on inserts F-J use Shift+3. The important bit of this tip is that is you start with A-E or F-J bypassed and the other set of inserts enabled then by hitting Shift+2 and Shift+3 together then as one set is bypassed the other is enabled allowing AB comparison on all selected tracks.
Tip - What Does It Mean When Plug-ins Go Purple In Pro Tools?
In this free video tutorial, Pro Tools Expert team member Julian Rodgers asks what it means when a Plug-in insert appears purple in Pro Tools?
Blue For Bypass, Purple For Partly Bypassed
The answer is that some plug-ins can be both bypassed and active at the same time. This is represented by the colour purple. This can be for two reasons:
Multi-Stage Plug-in with an inactive section
Plug-ins like Avid Channel Strip have multiple sections. Channel Strip has four: EQ, Filter, Dynamics and Volume. If the EQ or Dynamics sections are inactive but other sections are active the plug-in shows as purple.
Multi-mono plug-ins with an inactive channel
Any multi-mono plug-in can have its channels unlinked and if any of the channels is bypassed but other channels are not this partially bypassed condition is indicated by the purple colour.
Next time in Getting To Grips With Pro Tools we will look at Mix Groups. For mixing this can be a real time saver. If you create a group of all your drum tracks, then when you hit Solo on the Snare track all the drum tracks will be soloed.

How doTERRA Essential Oils Can Position Your Office as the Go-To Natural Medicine Resource
Why not get on the same side of big social media mavens like Dr. Axe and Dr. Mercola? You can be a resource that empowers your patients to take their well-being into their own hands from the comfort of their home. How? With a safe and effective natural solution like doTERRA essential oils.
One thing I've found and LOVE since I added doTERRA to my practice was that I could give my time and teach people how to use essential oils (it's sooooo easy), and still get paid by doTERRA just for empowering my patients. No extra appointments or office treatments necessary!
And, thanks to the doTERRA model, I am a Go-Giver! How cool is that?!
Are you familiar with the Go-Giver Movement? It's based on the book The Go-Giver: A Little Story About a Powerful Business Idea by Bob Burg and John David Mann and talks about when you shift your focus from getting to GIVING, it's not only a fulfilling way to go about life and build your business, it's really profitable, too!
So, to help you work less, but help your patients more, consider these reasons doTERRA essential oils can empower your patients and enhance your practice.
Address the WHOLE Patient
The better results your patients have, the better it will be for your practice. So, help your patients succeed. One of the ways to do that is to help their entire well-being, not just treat the symptom they came to you for. I found that doTERRA oils are a really effective way to give my patients tools they can use at home to improve sleep, calm emotions, lose weight or support their bodies holistically when dealing with chronic conditions that ultimately impact their health.
Extend your treatment beyond the appointment
I love how my impact and support of patients goes beyond the appointment because of doTERRA oils. It's the treatment that keeps on treatin'. When patients leave your practice with something in their hands to support their health, you're with them every day helping them be their best selves. I make it easy and give them resources such as tips, reminders and protocols so they remember what we talked about even when they go home.
More impact, less time in the office
Your practice is more robust when adding doTERRA essential oils because your patients see you as a their go-to natural medicine resource. The one-stop shop you provide doesn't add to your schedule, but it does add to your patients' satisfaction and positive results. In essence, you're adding to your service list, without adding more appointments.
Weekly or bi-monthly classes
My patients really enjoy the extra learning I provide through regular classes about doTERRA oils and all the different ways they can incorporate essential oils into their lives. Whether in person or in a Facebook group, this is a very easy, low time-commitment way of supporting my patients' overall well-being. Once you do the prep work to create your class presentation, it's something you can easily repeat from time to time with even less effort.
Information is power
Another high-impact, but low time commitment way I use to keep my patients learning and me earning from doTERRA oils is by frequent social media posts and high-value content pieces that I share with them. The key here is that I'm sharing, not selling. Once my patients learn how life-changing doTERRA oils can be, they are compelled to add them to their lives. Once they try, most of them fall in love and that contributes to residual income for me.
What other ways do you promote your office as the go-to natural medicine community resource?

So far in 2018, my husband Andy and I have made a lot of changes in the ways we live and consume. Here are some of the changes we have made so far, and my intention is to continue to share the journey with you and be a resource for you. I would also LOVE to hear how you are making changes to decrease your impact on the planet. I have been thinking of it like this:
Decrease your impact (small 'i') so you can increase your Impact (BIG 'I'). What is good for the planet is good for you.
Here are some of the ways we have made changes around food and decreasing plastic consumption and YOU can too!

The Beauties vs. The Beast Tournament began in 2014 as the committee from the Persimmon Ridge Ladies Golf Association was inspired to bring to this region a new tournament for ladies that would benefit young women in need in our community.
The name "Beauties vs. The Beast" was a fun poke at a challenging golf course, Persimmon Ridge, that we knew the beautiful women in our region would be able to conquer.
After choosing Maryhurst to support as an important local charity that helps retore hope and healing to young women and children, the name developed even greater significance. Young women at Maryhurst have suffered unimaginable challenges and often Maryhurst is the last resort for them to receive help and healing from the "beasts" in their lives.
Each year our donation to Maryhurst has grown. Because of the wonderful participation of beautiful women golfers, their generous hearts, and the contributions from sponsors in the community, we were excited to donate more than $14,000 to Maryhurst in 2017. Our goal this year is to raise even more awareness and gifts to Maryhurst.
If you would like to make a donation to Maryhurst on behalf of the tournament, please click the donate button below. We ask that you please "Give in Honor" of the BvB Golf Tournament, so we can keep track of the donations raised this year.
About Maryhurst
Founded in 1843, Maryhurst is the oldest nonprofit in the state of Kentucky serving kids and families facing crisis.
In Kentucky, the state with the second-highest child abuse rate, Maryhurst is saving kid's lives. Their work prevents abuse, restores hope, and empowers survivors.
At the first sign of conflict, Maryhurst's counseling program partners with families to strengthen relationships and protect kids' safety. For girls whose histories of trauma have left them without a safe home, our residential programs provide a place of healing. As soon as kids are ready, our foster care & transitional living services create pathways to permanency, stability, and better futures. Maryhurst believes that strong family relationships are the foundation of healthy growth. Some form of family development—be it strengthening existing bonds or building new ones – is the goal we set with every child in our care.

We use Google's online AdWords marketing tool "AdWords" to place ads on the Google advertising network (e.g., in search results, in videos, on websites, etc.) so that they are displayed to users who have a probable interest in the ads.

However, we only see the anonymous total number of users who clicked on our ad and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page.

The data of the users are pseudonymously processed within the Google advertising network. This means that Google stores and processes e.g. not the name or e-mail address of the users, but processes the relevant cookie-related data within pseudonymous user profiles. Thus from the perspective of Google, the ads are not managed and displayed to a specifically identified person, but to the cookie owner, regardless of who that cookie owner is. This does not apply if a user has explicitly allowed Google to process the data without this pseudonymization. The information collected about users is transmitted to Google and stored on Google's servers in the United States.

Home remedies for Flu and Cold
It may be "just a cold," but it's nothing to sneeze at. And the flu can make you feel downright drained. Fortunately, fast action on your part—including these simple home remedies for colds and flu—can mitigate the misery
Prescription antiviral drugs may ease symptoms of the flu when taken shortly after you get sick. In many cases, however, simple home remedies may be all you need for relief of mild to moderate flu symptoms.
Believe it or not, those annoying symptoms you're experiencing are part of the natural healing process — evidence that the immune system is battling illness. For instance, a fever is your body's way of trying to kill viruses by creating a hotter-than-normal environment. Also, a fever's hot environment makes germ-killing proteins in your blood circulate more quickly and effectively.
Chicken soup is a time-honoured remedy that is tried, tested and true. Chicken soup stops certain white blood cells (neutrophils) from congregating and causing inflammation, preventing large amounts of mucus from being produced. The hot soup also thins the mucus. Adding freshly chopped garlic to your soup gives the system a powerful boost. While garlic kills germs outright, it also appears to stimulate the release of natural killer cells, which are part of the immune system's arsenal of germ-fighters. Spike your soup with red (chili) pepper flakes to increase the broth's decongestant power.

My dirty little secret...
My Dirty Little Secret...
Ok lovely chickies, it's confession time.
Yes I have a dirty little secret…
I stand before you today GUILTY of the crime of half-arsing.
Who else is guilty of buying books and then not reading them?
Oh dear, I am a repeat offender and it's baaaaaaad!!!!
I LOVE a good book, and I am seduced into buying them time after time.
I sit them proudly on my bedside table all pretty and beautiful ready to snuggle up with and lose myself in.
It started with a small little stack keeping me company, then slowly the stack grew, book by pretty little book, like hairs on your legs over winter it snuck up on me… next thing I know, the stack had grown into a huge leaning tower of literature. – YE GODS!!!!
Fact of the matter is that if that tower fell and hit my head in the night, I'd be writing this post from the Intensive care unit in an induced coma from massive head injuries right now.
Now I suppose that if you took the tower of books at face value, I might look very learned.
But unless I have read those books by osmosis I'm in deep shit!
Some I've read, but LOTS are half finished – Jeez Sue!
I think I've been hoping that the words on the crisp clean pages would leap out during the night, somehow infuse themselves into my brain dance around in my sleeping head and seep into my memory-bank… ah the magic, the wonder.
Kind of like that yoga DVD that I own – I can't understand why my flexibility is still crap… it's sat next to my TV for years now AND I own a yoga mat!
Which is why I've made a pact with myself. No more bloody books until I've read the ones I've got.
So lovely chickies, if in the coming months, any of you happen to catch me in a book shop or browsing around book depository.com with a credit card in my hand… please slap me!
In the interests of accountability, here is the list that I will be getting through over the coming months: (don't you judge me! )
- Seneca on Happiness, virtue and philosophy as the guide to life.
- SHY – A memoir – Sian prior
- Conversation Transformation – Ben E. Benjamin PHD
- HIGH A Party Girl' guide to Peace. – Tara Bliss
- The Hen who dreamed she could fly – Sun-mi-hwang
- Conversations for Power and Possibility – Darlene Chrissley
- Add more –ing to your life – Gabrielle Bernstein
- Living in the Light - Shakti Gawain
- The more beautiful worlds our hearts know is possible – Charles Eisenstein
- Master the Game - Tony Robbins
- Daily Love - Mastin Kipp
- Wheat Belly – Dr William Davis
- Grain Brain – David Perimutter M.D
Here are some that I actually finished and loved, just in case you want to check them out
- The War of Art – Steven Pressfield
- Turning Pro – Steven Pressfield
- The Four Agreements – Don Miguel Ruiz
- The Alchemist – Paulo Coehlo
- Lean in – Sheryl Sandberg
- The Big Leap – Gay Hendricks
- Miracles Now. – Gabrielle Bernstein
- Blue Ocean Strategy – W. Chan Kim, Renee Mauborgne
- Daring Greatly – Brene Brown
- The Four Hour Work Week - Tim Ferris
- Wired for Life – The Mind Gardener
Righty-ho I am now off to find a cup of tea and my neglected reading glasses
And that is the end of today's tale of chickie shame…
Thank-you for listening.
P.S. Who else has the best of intentions but their 'following through muscle' is not as well exercised as it should be?
Is there anything that YOU need to shine a light on and then do better at lovely chickies?
Who else is up for committing to a bit of getting on with it?
I'm not talking about massive overhauls, just about steady consistent forward action. That's what gets you from where you are to where you want to be.
Accountability is a great big motivator, so feel free to call it out here and declare your intentions.
(You could also tell me if there are any great books that are missing from my list… I'll be looking for some to read AFTER I get through this lot…. shhhhhh )

Mark Bradstock's team are hoping that former Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Coneygree can land the Ladbroke Trophy despite carrying top weight.
The ten-year-old proved a historic winner of the blue ribband event at the Festival, becoming the first novice to win the Gold Cup in 42 years, but things haven't been as straight forward since.
Plagued with injury, he raced only twice last season finishing second to Cue Card in the Betfair Chase before an exceptional close third at Punchestown. He was only beaten a length and a half behind race fit Gold Cup winner Sizing John.
He was pulled-up on his return in Wetherby's Charlie Hall Chase, but confidence is high for the yard that won this with Carruthers in 2011.
Denman triumphed with top weight in 2007 and 2009, and the Bradstocks believe the exceptional Gold Cup winner can emulate the former Cheltenham hero.
"Coneygree seems great and I am delighted with him," said the Lambourn handler.
"He went round Newbury the other day and jumped absolutely fabulous. David Bass, who schooled him at Newbury, said he'd have paid to ride him.
"I am not quite sure what happened at Wetherby but it was very, very unlike him to jump like that. There were certainly three jockeys who said the sun was a problem and the horse struck into himself quite nastily. It was just one of those things.

Coneygree was well in contention before blundering the final fence in the Punchestown Gold Cup
"I think the best race he has run in his life was at Punchestown last year, on ground that was probably a bit quick for him. I know he has only run about 12 times in his life but Wetherby was his only real blip and I think we can give him benefit of the doubt.
"Top-weight doesn't really worry me. Having spoken to Richard Osgood this morning, I am glad to hear he thinks it is going to be good to soft or soft at the weekend and there will be covers down on the take-offs and landings.
"I am happy to see the race run on better ground than heavy ground with a big weight like that.
"I am sure he will run a big race on Saturday. I am quietly confident."
Coneygree is currently fancied around 14-1 for Ladbroke Trophy glory on Saturday, with the market led by Willie Mullins' Total Recall.

A PCI Readiness Assessment can help you self-evaluate more confidently in the future and help you learn more about how and why your security measures work.
Often, the assessment reveals opportunities to manage your security more robustly and cost-effectively in the future. Even if you've already completed a self-assessment questionnaire, even if you believe your organization is compliant, it's wise to have security experts perform a readiness assessment at least once.
This process will help you verify that you've correctly interpreted the PCI DSS rules and that your assumptions are well-founded. Very often, merchants unknowingly and inadvertently misinterpret PCI compliance guidelines and mistakenly indicate compliance.

Personalized Food Bars
Wedding food bars are all the rage. It started out with candy buffets, everyone had one at their wedding, mine included. The candy buffet was a huge hit at our wedding! Now couples are personalizing it even more and are featuring their favorite treat or drink and making it their own. Some examples of bars that I've seen are: cupcakes, dessert, tea/coffee, ice cream, chocolate, cookies, popcorn, tacos, waffles, and grill cheese. The possibilities are endless! What treat would you like to see at a wedding?

With the welder arriving today we tore out the entire bathroom and entry floor in preparation. There was some hidden dry rot under the tub so it was time to realize, if we wanted to complete the job with any level of quality, the whole thing had to come out. After all, the day may come when Jacqui and I may want to sell the Dolphin to some other couple with grandiose dreams of adventure, and the last thing I want to do is give them a lemon.
With the floor out it was easy to see that even brand new there was some inadequate engineering in the Dolphin. So we had the welder put in a whole extra steel beam, as well as replace a damaged one, so that the old girl will be sturdier than ever. Also the new floor will serve as an anchor point for the walls. This is definitely a large project, and I have had a few fantasies of bulldozing the whole thing into a flat bed truck and buying a cab-over camper, but it's becoming more obvious that we've made the right decision.
Oh ya, one more thing. All the work and materials today cost a massive $50USD.

Chocolate Banana Cupcakes with Banana Meringue Frosting
8 servings, 8 Weight Watchers PointsPlus per serving
1 cup flour
5/8 cup granulated sugar
5/8 teaspoon baking soda
5/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/3 cup oil
5/8 cup water
5/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
5/8 teaspoon banana extract
5/8 tablespoon vinegar
1 packet Jell-O Instant Banana Cream pudding
Frosting (note: this made way too much so I tried to make cookies out of the rest)
1 egg whites
1 cup sugar
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 tsp banana extract
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 F. Mix the instant pudding according to instructions on packet (points based on fat free milk). Put in fridge to set. Mix all other ingredients together until moist and well blended. Put in a lined cupcake pan and bake for 20-25 minutes. Let cupcakes cool. Once cupcakes are cooled, remove a "cone" of cupcake from the middle. Remove the inside part of the cupcake while keeping the top. In the "cone" add the instant banana pudding. You should use about 1/2 cup of pudding for all 8 cupcakes.
Combine egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar into the mixing bowl of your stand mixer and set over a water bath. Whisk by hand for a few minutes until the sugar is dissolved and mixture is warm to the touch. Transfer bowl to electric stand mixer, beat on high-speed until stiff glossy peaks form, about 10 minutes. Add banana and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed. Frost the cupcakes using a piping bag and toast with a torch if you have one.

Many people think that a stairlift costs at least 9,000 GBP. This is, however, not the case at all.
Otolift delivers to you through carefully selected distributors. Otolift has also managed to significantly reduce the production costs of stairlifts by applying the latest and most efficient production technologies. This ensures that we can always be of service to you with highly competitive prices for your stairlift.
How do you purchase a stairlift?Back to top
PAYMENT METHODSBack to top
Otolift offers different options to purchase your stairlift.
The option selected the most that is also the most inexpensive is to simply purchase the stairlift. The costs of the stairlift can often be deducted from your tax payment. You can also sometimes ask your municipality to make a contribution.
In addition, you can also purchase your stairlift in instalments.
To conclude, you can also lease or rent a stairlift. You will, in this case, first make a one-off payment for the production of your stairlift after which you lease or rent the stairlift in monthly instalments. Often, however, this will be more expensive than purchasing a stairlift.
Please contact us for more information.
DELIVERY TIMEBack to top
Otolift can deliver its stairlifts in a short period of time as a direct manufacturer.
The straight stairlifts can be delivered the fastest because these stairlifts can be produced relatively simply. The delivery time for the PARALLEL stairlift is, therefore, just 1 to 2 weeks. The stairlifts with curves can usually be delivered in approximately 3 weeks.
Should you, however, require your stairlift very quickly, we can deliver your stairlift even faster through a special urgent procedure. Sometimes, a stairlift with a curve can even be delivered within 2 weeks! This will, however, depend on the staffing levels at our factory. If you wish to find out more, ask about the most current delivery times, please contact us.

Ok, I have to admit your best so far. Purely from a literary perspective some of things that I loved;
1. Strong beginning and ending. Sets up the narrative beautifully and closes with a very well-written paragraph describing the entire trek. (Good signing off line, btw!)
2. Loved the description of rains in the Himalayas at the beginning.
3. This blog stands out from the rest because of the diverse character sketches which come through so clearly- Ajay, Krishnan & you, and this is done with an economy of words. Makes a reader relate to the central players in this drama. Maybe you could have added similar introductions to Chandan/Jaisingh- not too many though.
4. Nice nuggets in between like the leeches description, the story of Ganesha, the medicine-man episode, etc. You have always tried to pepper your narratives with these bits, but I think the sharper quality of writing made the difference. (Btw, the medicine man story inspires so many ideas for different projects...)
5. And of course your staple- beautiful pictures and odes to Mother Nature and the mighty Himalayas (Hv become a basic expectation now. :-))
I still have my usual observations on grammatical errors, flow from one event to another and the need for expounding upon or editing certain parts. But this is not the time to be critical. I shall let you savour the adulation! :-)
Overall- a delicious piece of prose. Let it flow...email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5294633494171765004.post-34036933782311441402008-02-16T03:34:00.000+05:302008-02-16T03:34:00.000+05:30Hi Saibal and PremOnly an aspiring writer would ev...Hi Saibal and Prem

It was an excellent feat, as the way I read it.

Am myself planning to go on for a trek in late May 2008, through the organized route, in Himachal, as this would be my first one.

While reaching office , this morning, wasn't feeling much like starting work ,and so I tried searching for fellow travelers/trekkers from Delhi who are going the same path, and voila, your is the first story to unfurl in front me. And boy, I am so glad it did.

It must be the most fantastic anecdote I have ever read about one's journey. Your narration is definitely in the manner which urges readers to keep on reading further.I wish that some day you definitely would be able to publish your travel memoirs, and in fact that is what you are doing here right now, and I appreciate you for that.

Your writing and the way of detailing shows
you are an avid trekkers. I wish you have lots of trip ahead and best of the times.

I read this one twice on yesterday and a day before, and again today, just before commenting...
As usual it reflects a dramatic flow of trekking experiences matched with some brilliant photographs...I always love the way you entwine the presentation with fine threads of climax and anti-climax that the situate in both reality and its sweet remembrances....
In this article, the narration starts with a lovely Dickensian style, displays articulation of Hardy while describing pastoral beauty of Dodital and Hunumanganga valleys and concludes with a touch of Maugham's resilience in accepting the life to where it finally settles ( or should..perhaps..)...
In other way, this is more than a travelogue ! Hats off to you, dear friend !
Since a few months back, I have been seriously considering to launch a titled blog journal for the Indian trekkers..I mean to include ( definitely on expressed willingness of the authors ) travelogues (surely literary travel writings too) in such journal with adequate tags and links so one can consult the archives for own planning...I could not float the idea for being much of work pressure..maybe, I shall have some recess to finalise the plan..
How do you feel ?
Again, thanks for sharing a brilliant piece of travelogue (that too relating to a really non-descript trail in the Himalayas ) with us, friend !
Have a great going in life..
My best wishes,

These are exciting time at Rock Church. We've just come off an incredible stretch of outreach events. It began with Plaistow Old Home Day. Then it flowed into nearly 2 weeks of special events during Amesbury days, culminating in our largest Pancakes in the Pines event in decades. The very next day we were set up at Salisbury Beach with an outreach booth as a part of a summer concert series at the beach. This past Friday in Sandown we organized a great outreach to families with a free movie night. We are truly living out what it means to be For Our Community!
But outreach is not the only exciting thing happening at Rock Church. This month also marks some exciting new beginnings within our ministry. In our denomination, new (P)astors "officially" begin their ministry appointment on July 1st. We are excited to be dedicating two new Pastors to our ministry this July! First, this Sunday July 9th at our 8:45 service in Sandown, we are welcoming Pastor Beth Soucise as our new Sandown campus Pastor. The following Sunday July 16th at both the 9:45 and 11:11 services in Plaistow, we are excited to dedicate Pastor James Archibald as campus Pastor of our Plaistow location. We are offsetting these events by a week because we know there are folks who will want to attend both. God is so good and I continue to be in awe of the incredibly gifted people that He has called to be a part of our ministry. I feel blessed beyond words to have the opportunity to serve with such an amazing group of believers, and am excited to welcome both Beth and James to our Pastoral Team.
This would be a good time for me to remind us of one our core convictions: Everyone is Gifted to Serve. While each of us is gifted in different ways, and called to serve in different capacities, every gift matters. We are only able to do the work God has called us to because so many of you have discovered your own gifts and callings, and have begun to live out that calling. If you have not yet found your place to serve, contact any one of our Pastors. We would love to help you get started. Not only will your gifts be a blessing to the work of Christ, but you will discover joy in the act of serving. There is nothing that compares to the sense of satisfaction that comes from discovering that place of service that enables us to make a real difference in the name of Christ.
God Bless,
Pastor Steve

All-Purpose Stir-Fry Sauce
Kitchen nirvana is when you can pull together a healthy meal that's not only easy, but FAST! For me, that means busting out my favorite Williams-Sonoma recipe for stir-fry dishes. The sauce will work for about a pound of ingredients and will keep for up to a week if you make it in advance. (Store in a sealed jar in the fridge.)
I've been known to make the sauce on a Sunday, when I do most of my cooking for the week, and then use it on a weeknight.
Here's what you need for the sauce:
- 3 Tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped, peeled fresh ginger
- 1 small clove garlic, minced
- 1 green onion, including tender tops, finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp chili oil (recipe in my previous post here)
To complete the dish I have pictured, you also need 1 lb of green beans, but you can use the sauce on meat or other assorted vegetables. The SAUCE is what's important.
Start by stirring the oil and soy sauce together. Then stir in the garlic and ginger.
Next add the onions and sample to make sure you're happy with the seasoning. For instance, if you skipped the chili oil, you may want to add red pepper flakes. Personally, I usually add some extra ginger. And presto, you're done!
Now if you want to actually USE the sauce, one of my favorite "applications" is with green beans. Start by par-boiling the beans (this is also called blanching) by putting them into boiling water for about three minutes then rinsing them in cold water. This pre-cooks the beans so you can stir-fry them quickly.I boil the beans in the same pan I use for stir-frying. After rinsing the beans in cold water, I return the pan to a high heat (with just a touch of oil) and then put the beans back in the pan. I cook the beans for another minute or two and add the stir-fry sauce for the last minute of cooking.Serve immediately and marvel at how much you like green beans!Nom! Nom!

'The Huntsman Winter's War' Trailer: So Much Scenery Chewing
By Dustin Rowles | Trailers | November 18, 2015 |
By Dustin Rowles | Trailers | November 18, 2015 |
I hope no one loses a finger or, God forbid, a bicep or a breast in all the scenery chewing going on in the The Huntsman Winter's War trailer. Those poor set designers, having to rebuild every morning to satiate the scenery-chewing hunger of Charlize Theron, Emily Blunt, and Jessica Chastain. It must have cost a fortune to keep the cast fed.

Pratt & Whitney says finds solution for Airbus engine issues
Feb 21 (Reuters) - Engine maker Pratt & Whitney said on Wednesday it has found a solution to the issues that had caused delays in supplying engines to European planemaker Airbus SE , grounding some A320neo jets.
Pratt, part of United Technologies Corp, said its solution to the "knife-edge seal" issue was based on a design with which it had "significant experience," without giving further details.
Reuters had reported earlier on Wednesday that the company was likely to return to a previous seal as a way of temporarily dealing with the issue that safety authorities warned could shutdown a plane's engine mid-flight.
Some A320neo deliveries were halted after problems arose in January, which Pratt has said stems from an engineering change it made last summer to the "knife-edge seal" in the high-pressure compressor near the rear of the engine.
Pratt said it will restart engine deliveries in early March.
Airbus Chief Executive Tom Enders said last week that deliveries to customers should resume in April. (Reporting by Victoria Bryan and Tim Hepher, additional reporting by Arunima Banerjee in Bengaluru; Editing by Susan Fenton and Savio D'Souza)

Well, I told myself I was going to use my OPT year to the utmost, and apparently that means going to six conventions this year. (The Nebulas, WisCon and ReaderCon, so far.) Next on my docket: WorldCon! Come say hi if you'll be there!
WorldCon 76; San Jose, CA, Aug 16-20
Reading: Fireside Magazine: Friday 10:00 - 11:00, 211A (San Jose Convention Center)
The Culinary Speculative: Food In Fiction: Friday 12:00 - 13:00, 210C (San Jose Convention Center)
Food is crucial to identity, and also intersects heavily with class, gender, and power. How does speculative fiction engage with these intersections? How do we use food as a lens to examine cultural narratives, or even to move beyond dominant Western narratives--for instance, who gets to decide what's a delicacy and what's disgusting? Whose appetites are catered to, and whose are labeled monstrous?
The Shape of Horror: Sunday 14:00 - 15:00, 210C (San Jose Convention Center)
An editor once said that horror is visceral, but more than that, it involves a moment when the protagonist could have made another choice. How much of horror is about structure vs. gore? In the spectrum of fiction, what takes a piece of speculative fiction and makes it horror?

We Moved!
"Life is change. Growth is optional. Choose wisely."-unknown
I was going to tell you that we were planning to move, but then it just sort of happened and now here we are. Mind you, we are two fresh, brand new nights in with very few items unpacked, but we are living in a home now! It has real individual rooms, and we almost don't know what to do with ourselves. Yes, because it's such a wonderful adjustment to embrace, but also because we are totally paralyzed by how very little energy we have to think about it. It's a little bit been a moving weekend from hell, including several swear words (ugh I really thought I could live a swear-less life as a weird well-meaning teenager), spilling melted ice cream on my foot, spilling Gatorade in our car, navigating in and out of several terse communications with my husband (I promise this is meant to make you laugh and not be concerned about us), and resultantly, a lot of poor food choices (the snack wraps at McDonalds are NOT for the faint of heart). I will say though, our survival mode tactics have included a lot of binging on The Office and eating funfetti cake, which I'd pretty much do for the rest of my life if I could.
Those last two photos are from our first morning waking up there, upon which John rose while I was sleeping. He urged me not to leave the bed when I noticed him leaving, and came back with a "Breakfast is ready. Will you make us some coffee?" He made espresso chip pancakes, my latest Pinterest fascination, and thus I say: this man has been married to me for almost two years. He knows what he's doing. At least breakfast-wise, which for me, is really all that matters.
I really will give you the real deal sort of "we moved" post a bit later, once we feel less insane and it makes more sense. Is it bad that I don't want to give you a real virtual tour until things look how I want them to? I know that's that sort of internet censorship that I don't usually like to support, and typically (to an extent) I'd like to show you the imperfect parts of all this over here. But this whole move deal feels a little different, and I think I'd rather have you know my singular-colored home rather than the intense primary rainbow it is right now. I know it'll never be perfect, which is completely fine, but I just wanted to you know I'm leaving you in the dark a little this time around.
Can I just tell you about our past week? We took shelter at my parents house for a week and it was an unexpected luxury. Tranquility, accompanied by the smell of hazelnut coffee (I may be a coffee snob but I will always allow my mom her love of flavored coffee), with a little bit of cable TV on the side (John's FAVORITE part). There were also a few lists that showed up on our bed a couple of mornings (this right here is my mother's signature), which is altogether a hilarious, beautiful thing in itself. John jokes about being haunted by my mom's lists, even though they were what helped us plan and execute a successful, awesome wedding (almost two years ago!), mainly because they made sure he never had a moment that was without something to do. Anyway, my mom's lists made a comeback this week, accompanying us in our move, and boy am I thankful for them. I know John's feeling for them well though, and can appreciate it. I definitely inherited that gene so the reality is neither of us will ever escape those lists.
My parents keep some pretty lovely gardens living in their front and back yard, and in the past couple of years it's been a bit sad but humorous time watching them have an actual fight with the local wildlife that live on their property. This summer my mom has been extra protective of one of her favorite plants, her "moon" plants which supposedly blossom in the night. I noticed upon our stay with them this week that two tiny fences were made around the two moons plants in the front garden, only to discover my mom is legitimately sparring with a bunny. I'll just let that one sit with you, and enjoy it if you share my weird sense of humor.
Anywho, thank you for letting me share my news with you, along with my mom anecdotes. I look forward to sharing more home news soon. I hope you've all been enjoying your summer thus far! I'll be in touch.

|Jillian Mueller (as Alex Owens) in an iconic moment from "Flashdance: The Musical"
1983's "Flashdance" was what passed for a movie musical in the 1980's. It was a series of quick-cut, frantic music videos stretched around a simple (and implausible) plot involving an 18 year-old steel welder by day and stripper by night who dreams of attending a prestigious dance academy far beyond both gritty factories and stripper poles. Though critically lambasted (the late Sun-Times film critic Roger Ebert has it on his "most hated" films list), it went on to earn more than $148 million world-wide and spawned a slew of top 10 hits including "Flashdance...What a Feeling," "Maniac" and "Gloria."
And now, much like 1980s movie musicals such as "Footloose" and "Urban Cowboy," the 30 year-old film "Flashdance" is being prepped for new life as a Broadway musical.
Where's a good arc welder when you need one? The bones of a decent musical are present, but some cutting and soldering are needed if the show hopes to fair better on the Great White Way than those two other shows.
Let's say you are able to suspend disbelief over the original film's plot. At its core, "Flashdance" isn't a bad idea for a stage musical. A plucky, working class gal Alex Owens (an endearing yet still 'edgy" Jillian Mueller) dreams of reaching for that brass ring, overcoming the systems of class, education, economics and gender.
Her love interest is Nick Hurley (Matthew Hydzik , a charming, boy-next-door type), the grandson of the owner of the factory where Alex works. The pair share decent chemistry, initially clashing before falling in love. The two romantic scenes in the show come off awkward,though. Mueller is a relatively petite actress and is nearly on pointe any time she has to kiss her much taller leading man.
A trio of Alex's fellow cabaret dancers Gloria (a Madonna-esque Kelly Felthous), Kiki (Dequina Moore channeling Grace Jones) and Tess (Haley Hannah) serve as a sort of Greek chorus, lending their pipes to most of the more well-known songs from the film. Each is given an individual moment in the spotlight with a solo number, too. Moore's version of "Manhunt" sizzles enough that you just might forget the original. Hannah gyrates and does her best to breathe life into the over-used "I Love Rock 'N' Roll." Felthous, who has perhaps the second best voice in the cast (behind Moore) draws the short end of the straw with a terrible ensemble arrangement of "Gloria."
"Gloria" notwithstanding, the score soars when recreating the hit songs from the film soundtrack, but the 16 songs representing the new music and lyrics by Robbie Roth (with additional lyrics by Robert Cary), while succeeding in capturing the saccharine nothingness of many a '80s pop ballad, are nonetheless instantly forgettable thanks to some truly clunky and forced rhyming.
Director/choreographer Sergio Trujillo ("The Jersey Boys" and "Memphis") manages to both pay homage to the film's original choreography and put his own signature onto things. The ensemble dance numbers in particular are energetic and mesmerizing. The film's iconic water scene even feels fresh and new.
With some song editing and re-writing, "Flashdance" might just yet leave audiences saying "oh, what a feeling."
"Flashdance: The Musical" through Aug 18 at the Cadillac Palace Theatre, 151 W. Randolph. Tickets, $18-$85. Call (800) 775-2000.

Being a truck driver is not an easy job. It takes a lot of skill to navigate an 80,000 lbs rig through different climates, weather conditions, road conditions and terrains. Also, trucks have large blinds spots making it difficult to tell where other vehicles are at times. Then throw in a bunch of tiny cars zipping around and weaving in and out of lanes in an, at times, unpredictable manner and you've got a recipe for a disaster.
One of my favorite television programs is one called 'This Old House". It is one of the original home repair programs and has been on TV for over 37 years. At the beginning of each program, they list the sponsors of the show and one of them is the IBEW, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. What sticks with me about that sponsor is the part where they say how much training each person has to go through to be a "certified" electrician.
Topics: Culture
Current collision avoidance systems (CAS) do a lot to help reduce accidents. The technology can detect vehicles that are further down the road in your lane and determine if they are slow moving or stationary and provide warnings to the driver. Many systems are also capable of applying breaks in emergency situations. This feature allows for a quicker overall reaction time that makes all the difference in preventing a collision.
It is important to balance exercise with a healthy diet. Exercise is important, but it cannot be your only means of losing weight. To illustrate, going for a 3 mile run might burn somewhere in the range of 400-600 extra calories. Those 400+ calories are completely erased if you swing by McDonald's for a McDouble sandwich and a small fry. An hour of exercise is easily offset by 5 minutes of irresponsible eating!

It's really great writing these blogs, especially when it comes to blogs like this. We work all week which often means we have to come to doing blogs a little later on, or the weekend after. We have had a great time looking back over pictures and reliving The Folk Forest. It's given us a happy, warm, cwtch feeling, and here is why:
Okay so, as per, the blog does have to start with complaints about public transport. Dean knows how travel anxious Beth gets. So, days before travel, Dean writes a very detailed plan of action to ensure there is ample time between bus changes and Beth knows that nothing could possibly go wrong.
So, to cut what could be a very long story short, imagine Beth's surprise after waiting for half an hour for a connection, that they were not only waiting for the wrong bus, but also at the wrong bus stop.
So, it was a quick run from the bus station to the police station (after Beth freaked out and caused Dean grievous bodily harm). To be completely fair to Dean, this is the first time this had ever happened in two years of catching buses, trains, donkeys, roller-skates, saddled old women...
After catching the right bus from the right stop, we were on our way. In true public transport style, we were snarled at for our instruments taking up one seat on what was otherwise an empty bus. Of course, we awkwardly moved everything so the lady could sit in the seat she so desperately wanted to sit in. We sat for most of the journey feeling like Buckaroo from that game… What was it called? Where the Donkey carries so much it bucks? 'Don't Be An Ass', maybe?
Anyway, we did make it, and that's the point! Music lifted from the park, bearded men wandered the streets, socks and sandals everywhere, and that was just Dean. We would like to say that we loved to be playing at a festival that had actual toilets rather than port-a-loos (although, they had them too, just in case that is one of the features of a festival you would miss…). Beth often finds at festivals that her irrational fear of port-a-loos turns into a very real and rational fear of wetting herself on stage.
Everyone was in great spirits (and I don't just mean Gin and tonic, although that probably helped). The Bird Table Stage was well set and sounded great. People sat all over on little picnic blankets, camping chairs, sausage dogs. There were probably as many children and dogs as there were leather waistcoats and hats. There was so much to do. Wanted food? Food stall. Kids bored? Craft stalls. Want clean air? STAG, tree justice for Sheffield, stall.
It was great to see some familiar faces as we started to play. Sign of a Teaspoon playing the role of Paparazzi (big thanks to Ian Tillbrook for the photos of us playing). Cecilie, Simon, Katy, Ian (Almond and Tillbrook) as backing singers (that's right we saw you). Last but not least a massive thank you to to our backing dancers - Batman and the Princesses. That right, you saw right, we have Batman on our side, and let me tell you, you might not know this but, great dancer. Really great. Bigly.
A young gentleman made the time to come over and tell us how much he enjoyed our set and enjoyed dancing. We're sorry we didn't get your name, but you need to know you made our day, weekend, week, month.
The Folk Forest was absolutely what it is all about for us. We don't just mean the AMAZING Farrerro Rocher milkshakes from the cafe. We mean everything. A festival that is still FREE. Somewhere that parents can take their children for the day (and their Batman, obviously). Somewhere that like-minded people can get together, eat food, make crafts, and rage against the Amey machines. Dogs tails were wagging, kids were dancing, Beth was urinating in comfort.
If you want an easy, fun weekend, where everyone is welcome (and did we mention you can wee in comfort?), The Folk Forest is the place for you.
If you want to listen to 'This Old Guitar' as we played it live at TFF, then click below!
Big thanks to Forge Radio for all your time and effort over the weekend.

Since the inception of the Biennale of Contemporary Art, artistic director Thierry Raspail has invited his guest curators to reflect upon a key word. In inviting Emma Lavigne, he was sure she would not skirt the Modern issue.
Emma Lavigne thought the Biennale through out 6 trails, like a journey into an achipelago of secret islands.
