Influences and experiences during John Stemple's youth engendered a love of aviation and all things nautical. John was born in the city touted as "The Birthplace of Aviation," and early on he developed a fascination about and love of flying because the local citizens cherished the legacies of the famous powered flight pioneers Wilbur and Orville Wright. An airplane ride arranged by George "Sky King" Vaughn sealed the deal.
The state additionally offered rivers and other bodies of water for exploring. To this day Mr. Stemple vividly recalls cruising the waters of Lake Erie around Put-in-Bay and Pelee, Ontario, during summertime excursions aboard a Sea Cadets boat. Impressionable young John mentally pictured the majestic Royal Navy sloops-of-war HMS Queen Charlotte and HMS Detroit and the U.S. Navy snows USS Niagara and USS Lawrence with their associated squadrons during the bitter September 1813 Battle of Put-in-Bay (aka Battle of Lake Erie). From the deck of the small craft he watched commercial Ford Tri-Motors and general aviation aircraft transiting to and from island airports and Coast Guard cutters on patrol. To the child it was all fascinating.
Adding to the influential mix was that the Stemple residence was near a major air force base and jets passed overhead, some causing sonic booms, daily. Furthermore, John's father was employed at nearby Gentile Air Force Station, which was a military supply depot named after legendary Ohioan Don Gentile. In the early years of the Second World War, before the United States officially entered the conflict, Gentile had crossed the border and enlisted with the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF). He soon transferred to the Royal Air Force (RAF), became an Eagle Squadron pilot and subsequently a U.S. Army Air Forces (USAAF) ace.
Later, while training as a teenager to earn aircraft maintenance technician ratings, Mr. Stemple was regaled with an instructor's recollections of Don Gentile flying a North American Mustang fighter around Piqua, Ohio. Notably, by this time John had earnestly commenced study related to the RCAF, RAF and USAAF.
Mr. Stemple, a Commemorative Air Force "colonel" and member of the Honorary Order of Kentucky Colonels, serves 20th Century Aviation Magazine and the affiliated Military Aviation Magazine in the capacities of military aviation historian, photojournalist, and pilot.
John was a primary organizer and sponsor of ceremonies held in January 2016 to belatedly honor Floridians who voluntarily served in the RCAF and RAF during the Second World War. The first event was held at The Royal Canadian Legion Post 144 in Clearwater and the second at Winter Haven Municipal Airport (KGIF). Memorial plaques he designed and obtained for the project are on indefinite display inside the KGIF Terminal. Mr. Stemple continues to promote the legacy of the RCAF/RAF Americans.

To all the staff of Alpine Asian Treks and Expedition P ltd, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for helping me achieve one of my dreams of Annapurna Base Camp Trek (4130m).
This was my first trek and its kind and did not think I would succeed when i became a little ill during the trip but you supported me enough to feel confident in putting my life in your hands and I succeeded.
Your service and in particular my guide Surya's experience was everything a person could wish for while traveling in a foreign country and in particular the Himalayas which can be challenging at best of times.
I thank you all and wish you and your families' health and peace.
I highly recommend your service to anyone wishing to experience trekking in the Himalayas and I know that they would always be cared for in a professional manner that would enable them to achieve an adventurous, fun and safe trek.

First day of VMworld 2014 was very intensive day. Like I wrote Yesterday I spent it mostly on sessions, exchanging knowledge with other VMware experts and in solutions exchange.
MGT1969 – vCloud Automation Center and NSX Integration Technical Deep Dive
Unfortunately I skipped this session – I will simply watch it on the Internet.
SDDC2556 – Customer Panel: Journey to Software Defined Datacenter
First of my sessions in VMworld 2014. Four gentleman's were describing transformation of their IT departments from "old school" to "software defined". All conversation were followed up by real examples.
NET1743 – VMware NSX – A Technical Deep Dive
Topic of NSX is well-known for several weeks and I have to say I didn't learn anything new. For me "demos" were too fast and one of presenters was commenting it all the time "this is easy". I didn't like it because for persons who might never seen NSX it was not so easy.
VAPP2979 – Advanced SQL Server on vSphere Techniques and Best Practices
This was second session I skipped.
STO2752-SPO – A Significant Step Towards Better Managed VM Storage Infrastructure; Deploying VMware VVol with Hitachi Data Systems
Another quite good session of first VMworld day. In short words presenters described what VVol's are and what transformation will happen in VMware / Storage world. To follow-up session I visited Hitachi booth where VVol's were described once again.
Solutions exchange
Like most of the attendants I visited solutins exchange where various vendors were presenting their solutions. I grabbed few t-shirts, some vendor gifts and I discussed some interesting topics with them.
I meet with my colleague from Kraków vExpert and blogger Maciej Lelusz @maciejlelusz and finally I was able to meet another blogger and vExpert Marek Zdrojewski @MarekDotZ. I met as well other polish colleagues and we chatted for a bit and made plan to meet at Veeam party.
PernixData Party
This was my first party at VMworld 2014 which held place in Ocaña Placa Reial 13-15. There is nothing to say than it was quite ok. I saw Frank Denneman @FrankDenneman from PernixData and Eric Sloof @esloof. I have to say that food was very good followed by nice drinks. Below there are some pictures from Party.
Veeam Party
After first day I registered myself to Veeam party. I have heard stories from earlier years that this is the best party which you should attend. Event was held in Shoko Club near the beach. Shoko Club welcomed me warm with cool drinks and beautiful dancers. After a while tasty food arrived and DJ started to play songs. To be honest Veeam party was the best one so far I attended. Below you will find three pictures from Party.
Besides all I described above I did small other things like:
- I saw Pat Gelsinger CEO VMware on the stairs (I was going up, he was going down).
- I did paper plane donation in amount of 40$ to children.
- I barely touched lunch because I didn't know that it is not served where sessions are held.
- I bought a lot of clothes from VMware store, because Europe store has nothing to offer and this was my only chance to grab cool stuff.
Wojciech Marusiak
My experience and skills has been proven by leading vendor certifications like VMware Certified Advanced Professional 5 – Data Center Administration, VMware Certified Advanced Professional 5 – Data Center Design, VMware Certified Professional 6 - Data Center Virtualization, VMware Certified Professional 6 - Network Virtualization, Microsoft MCITP Server Administrator, ITIL V3, VMware vExpert 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 Award.

According to WSVN, Lucas entered Gray'ss home on the 4500 block of Northwest 180th Street in Miami Gardens last night right before 10:30 p.m.
The victim's daughter, Cutina Gray, tried to interfere but was stabbed herself. The family dog, a boxer, was also stabbed in the fracas.
"She was saying that he was stabbing her mom and she was trying to help and the dog got stabbed," Lesha Morre, a neighbor, told WSVN. "He chased her and he was stabbing her and we know she was in the bushes on the corner of the house."

Review/Art; Gustav Klimt as Decorator, Landscapist and Philosopher
By JOHN RUSSELL
Published: April 21, 1989
Among the major European painters of the period between 1880 and 1918, Gustav Klimt is both the best known and the least known. In one sense, there is no escaping him. Every day, in just about every big city in the developed world, Klimt's portraits of beautiful and unmistakably Viennese young women reign serenely and within reach. Reproductions, posters, albums, postcards, notecards - all are ubiquitous. Dressed, groomed and made up with an otherworldly perfection, Klimt's women are seduction personified. Even when abstracted from their original environment and travestied by reproduction, they work their magic.
On one level, therefore, the exhibition of Klimt's paintings, drawings and memorabilia at the Galerie St. Etienne could be said to be pre-sold to an adoring public. The presence of important loans from Vienna -among them the celebrated ''Pallas Athena'' - serves as a further guarantee. The St. Etienne has been showing Klimt since 1959, when even in the Upper Belvedere in Vienna you could count on being alone with his paintings most of the time. Thanks in large part to that record, major museum loans from this country give further distinction to the show.
But the Klimt that by now has universal currency is not the only Klimt. The young Klimt, who was everyone's first choice as a large-scale decorator in Vienna in the 1890's, is known primarily to the specialist. The vein of unstressed poetry in ''Two Girls With Oleander'' in the present show relates to that.
Klimt the landscapist made some of the key images of his day, but his forests are closer to the forest in Arnold Schoenberg's monodrama ''Erwartung'' than to the Arcadian candor and spontaneity of Fauve painting in France. (They are very well represented, by the way, at the Galerie St. Etienne.) Of the Klimt who jumped at the chance to function as a painter-philosopher in the heartland of Viennese institutional and cultural life, little is left. Yet his was a remarkable phenomenon. In his 20's and 30's Klimt, the son of a goldsmith, was asked to leave not merely an esthetic but a moral and philosophical mark on the university, the court theater and the grandest museum in Vienna, the capital city of an empire that embraced a great part of Europe.
For clues as what the less familiar Klimt was like, his preparatory drawings are often the best source. But the relevant sheets are hugely outnumbered on the market by the self-contained and on occasion wildly erotic drawings that bulk large in the St. Etienne show and have long had an eager public. One or two of the ones here rank high in the canon, but the general level is uneven in terms both of quality and of completion.
The visitor will find, in the section of Klimt memorabilia, an album of photographs from the estate of the dress designer and avant-garde shopkeeper Emilie Floge, who for many years was Klimt's best beloved, intermittences notwithstanding. From the photographs of her, dressed to stunning effect in turn-of-the-century ''reformed clothing,'' we learn that Klimt did not exaggerate her beauty. But the ''gold-embroidered lavender silk caftan,'' of a kind that Klimt preferred when he wanted to get into something loose, looked remarkably dingy to this visitor.
The works of Gustav Klimt remain at Galerie St. Etienne, 24 West 57th Street, through June 10. Charles Biederman Grace Borgenicht Gallery 724 Fifth Avenue (near 57th Street) Through April 29
First shown in New York at the Pierre Matisse Gallery in 1936, Charles Biederman in the 1930's dealt in soaring clusters of apparently weightless forms that maneuvered freely in space. They almost, but not quite, took on human traits - leaping, striding, dancing.
The work for which he is best known came later. Made of painted aluminum, it consists of rectangular flat forms that jut out in the third dimension from a monochrome launching pad. The colors are pretty to the point of sweetness (or the other way round). The jutting forms thrust out at either 90 or 45 degrees to the base, and to one another.
The result is a matter of complex rhythmical patterns, sequences and shifts of which the eye does not tire easily. Everything works together, and behind it all there is a lifetime of thoughtful, undeflected inquiry. Carl Andre Paula Cooper Gallery 155 Wooster Street Through April 29
Carl Andre's new show consists in part of early poems in which the typewritten image - with its ordered advances and retreats - is as important as the words, and in part of two recent floor sculptures.
The sculptures are about length and extension, in the one case, and about a closed system, in the other. The larger of the two runs almost the whole length of the gallery and consists of three straight unbroken rows. One of them is of Quincy granite (Mr. Andre was born in Quincy, Mass.), another of steel plates and the third of Eastern pine. The interrelation between them is interesting to begin with and becomes consistently more so as we get one new fix after another, like navigators whose every reading is subtly different.

Differential diagnosis Other congenital diaphragmatic hernias (Morgani's) Traumatic diaphragmatic hernia Eventration
Morgagni hernias less common CDH 5-10% of CDH cases occurs in the anterior midline through the sternocostal hiatus of the diaphragm, with 90% of cases occurring on the right side
Eventration of the diaphragm anatomical or functional deficiency of part of the diaphragm, allowing abdominal contents to herniate into the chest more commonly right sided, and affects the anterior portion of the hemidiaphragm
Traumatic diaphragmatic hernia Blunt and penetrating traumas cause most acquired diaphragmatic hernias Left-sided rupture is more common than right-sided rupture, owing to hepatic protection and increased strength of the right hemidiaphragm
Bochdalek hernias of the diaphragm make up the majority of cases of CDH posterolateral defects of the diaphragm results in either failure in the development of the pleuroperitoneal folds or improper or absent migration of the diaphragmatic musculature
Assessment Bochdalek hernia
Plans CBC, Na, K 12 L ECG Chest X-ray Exploratory laparotomy with possible thoracotomy
Chest X-ray
Chest Xray (12/13/09) Both lungs are clear Heart is not enlarged Pulmonary vascularity is within normal limits Left hemidiaphragm is markedly elevated Gas-filled intestines are within the peritoneal cavity There is no definite evidence of Bochdalek hernia Left sulcus and posterior gutter are intact There are moderate hypertrophic changes in the thoracic spine Impression: ELEVATED LEFT HEMIDIAPHRAGM, SUGGESTIVE OF EVANTRATION
Spirometry Based on FEV1/FVC ratio, there is no obstructive ventilatory defect. Flow volume loope is scooped out and the FEF 25-75 is low. Suggesting an early obstructive ventilatory defect. Based on the 3% change in FEV1, there is poor response to bronchodilator. There seems to be no associated restrictive ventilatory defect based on normal FVC. For verification we suggest a lung volume study.

Bochdalek Hernia
Primary Repair
OR Findings On opening, the spleen and left colon were mobilized, diaphragmatic hernia was appreciated at the posterior portion of the left hemidiaphragm. The left kidney and splenic flexure were seen herniated through the defect. All the other abdominal organs were grossly normal.
Final Diagnosis Bochdalek Hernia s/p primary repair of Bochdalek hernia
Introduction It was first described in 1848 by Bochdalek
Embryology Failure of the pleuroperitoneal canal to close at eight weeks gestation
Embryology Eighty percent occur on the left side Bilateral, occasionally The defect ranges from a small circular hole (Bochdalek hernia) to total absence of hemidiaphragm
Embryology Alter growth of the ipsilateral lung Sometimes, it would alter the contralateral lung (when mediastinum shift to contralateral)
Pathogenesis Defective migration of muscle and nerve cell precursors to the diaphragm during formation Diaphragm develops anteriorly as a septum between the heart and liver and then grows posteriorly
Final closure is at the left Bochdalek foramen between 8 and 10 weeks GA Bowel migrates from yolk sac to abdominal cavity at 10 weeks If bowel arrive before the foramen closes then hernia can occur
Epidemiology Frequency in neonates: 1/7000 Male/female ratio: 3:2 to 2:1 Very uncommon in adult 1992 – 100 cases reported in the literature – Growing use of abdominal CT, increase detection in asymptomatic individuals Luis Bujanda etc 2001~
incidence of 0.17% based on 13,138 abdominal CT reports we reviewed. The mean age of the patients was 66.6 years. None of the patients were symptomatic. – Sixty-eight percent of the hernias were on the right side of the body, 18% were on the – left side, and 14% were bilateral. Seventy-three percent contained only fat or omentum, Prevalence of Incidental Bochdalek's Hernia in a Large Adult Population Mullens Et al Presented at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America, Chicago 2000
Bochdalek Hernia Adult Bochdalek hernias are more frequently in women patients (77%) than in men. Contents – 73% intraabdominal fat or omentum only – 27% had solid or enteric organ involvement stomach, liver, spleen (33%), pancreas, or kidney (50%) Mullins ME, Stein J, Saini SS, Mueller PR. Prevalence of incidental Bochdalek's hernia in a large adult population. AJR 2001;177: 363–6.
In adults, most Bochdalek's hernias are likely to be asymptomatic. Hines GL, Romero C. Congenital diaphragmatic hernia in the adult. Int Surg 1983;68:349–351 Previously unrecognized Bochdalek hernia in the adult patient is often diagnosed incidentally to other problems.
The most common presentation is left-sided abdominal and chest pain, associated with difficult breathing and intestitial obstruction. Thomas S, Kapur B. Adult Bochdalek hernia: clinical features, management and results of treatment. Jap J Surg 1991; 21(1): 114–119. Sometimes, only gastrointestinal symptoms, caused mainly by obstruction of abdominal viscera. Steenhuis L.H., R.T.O. Tjon A Tham, F.W.J.M. Smeenk. Bochdalek hernia: a rare cause of pleural empyema. Eur Respir J, 1994, 7, 204–206
Image examination Chest x-ray (NG tube insertion) Plain abdomen Barium enema study Upper GI barium study Abdominal CT – Most accurate, – Can also detect associated anomalies Abdominal MRI Shin MS, Mulligan SA, Baxley WA, Ho KJ. Bochdalek hernia of diaphragm in the adult. Diagnosis by computed tomography. Chest 1987;92:1098-1101
Small, asymptomatic Bochdalek hernia does not require surgical intervention. Shin M S, S A Mulligan, W A Baxley and K J Ho. Diagnosis by computed tomography. Bochdalek hernia of diaphragm in the adult. Chest 1987;92;1098-1101
Once diagnosed, the reduction of abdominal viscera in the abdominal cavity is mandatory due to the risk of life threatening complications. Kocakusak A, Arikan S, Senturk O, Yucel AF. Bochdalek's hernia in an adult with colon necrosis. Hernia 2005;9:284–7.
As soon as the diagnosis is made, operative repair should be carried out - even if there are no symptoms - because of the severe complications that large hernias can give, such as strangulation of hernial contents. L.H. Steenhuis, R.T.O. Tjon A Tham, F.W.J.M. Smeenk. Bochdalek hernia: a rare cause of pleural empyema. Eur Respir J, 1994, 7, 204–206
Management Aim: Reducing the viscera and sealing the diaphragmatic defect Surgical repair is the most logical management – Laparotomy – Thoracotomy – Laparoscopy – Thoracoscopy – Or combinations
Surgical Approach Transthoracic – enables a direct observation of the herniated viscera and allows an easier lysis of the adhesions with the hilum located in the posterolateral region of the diaphragm Transperitoneal – allows the surgeon to confirm the position of the viscera after "pull-back" and to repair any malrotation if present. Masafumi Yamaguchi MD, et al. Thoracoscopic Treatment of Bochdalek Hernia in the Adult: Report of a Case. Ann Thorac Cardiovasc Surg Vol. 8, No. 2 (2002)
Complication Volvulus formation Incarceration, strangulation Hemorrhage Perforation of a hollow viscus
Prognosis Poor when it is manifested at birth Good in adult (<3% mortality) Poor in adult when complication appear (organ ischemic change, hemorrhage,…)

As numbers obviously don't exist in a physical sense - you can't trip over the number '2' in the street - one might conclude that, as in the language case, numbers exist only in thought. To answer such things one might decide to conduct an experiment, to observe the reasoning process. Sadly, to do so is like observing which slit a particle passes through in the famous double-slit experiment from quantum mechanics; when an observation is made, the effect of the observation crashes the experiment. It would seem that the machine (the mind) cannot watch itself in operation and observe its own subtle workings.
|UK edition
In Are Numbers Real? Clegg tackles what is a very deep question in his usual way: with clarity, wit and a wonderfully clear narrative writing style. Not only does he tackle a wide variety of subjects to seek out the truth of the matter, he does so in an engaging and hugely accessible way. I personally couldn't put it down and as an active researcher in the field itself, it has provided me with some very, um, real food for thought.
Review by Peet Morris
Please note, this title is written by the editor of the Popular Science website. Our review is still an honest opinion – and we could hardly omit the book – but do want to make the connection clear.

The Lien Centre for Palliative Care (LCPC) was founded in 2008. The Lien Foundation's decision to fund the development of an academic centre to support palliative care education and research was a timely and strategic decision because Palliative Medicine was recognized the previous year as a medical subspecialty in Singapore. This paved the way for palliative care research and local training of Palliative Medicine specialists.
LCPC was formed through a collaboration of 4 parties: the Lien Foundation as the philanthropic donor, the Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School as the academic home for the Centre, the National Cancer Centre Singapore (NCCS) which provided the policy guidance and support for education and research, and SingHealth which provided policy guidance and support at the cluster level.
"To do our job properly, we need to fill in the gaps in knowledge and increase our understanding of the preferences of the dying in Singapore. I therefore welcome the setting up of the Lien Centre of Palliative Care at Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School. I hope your research will deepen our understanding of the needs and cultural differences between the ethnic communities in Singapore. We welcome your deeper insights into the needs and wants of the terminally ill here.
This will help set standards in care for the dying and provide a foundation for the development of advanced care planning guidelines. It is my hope that the Lien Centre will, in due course, develop into a regional institute for Palliative Care Research and Training.
…getting end-of-life care right lies at the heart of what it means to be a civilized society. Society should make this a priority. It is interesting that while death is the only certainty in life, many people do not think about what they want to accomplish before the end comes and how they want to depart this life. I suppose many just drift through life and do not plan ahead. I hope the Lien Centre will help more to stop drifting and start planning."
(Khaw Boon Wan, Minister for Health 14 Oct 2008 at opening of the Lien Centre for Palliative Care)

The Bigger Picture: Visual Archives and the Smithsonian
Documenting the Family Treasure Chest
January is the perfect month for getting organized at work and at home. It also can be a time to focus on personal collections that have special meaning or worth.
During a family visit over the holidays a discussion about the history of a china set led into the importance of documenting histories and information about family heirlooms.
Here are few things you can do to get started with your family treasures:
- Create an inventory that includes what the object is and its location (This is also a good time to decide if the item/s need to be stored elsewhere due to condition or space issues, or if it is time to find the item a new home). It is usually easiest to work on one room or area at a time. If you create a digital version of the inventory, be sure to print out a copy as well. Consider where you will store the digital inventory and create a backup.
- Take photos of the items, which can be digital or analog. Once you have the images downloaded or printed, be sure to add the pertinent information to them. If objects are part of a collection (set of china, series of books, flatware, etc.), a broader description (where did it come from, who had it, who made it, what are the materials) can be included as an introduction. Again, it is important to have more than one set of images for backup purposes.
- Decide if you want to label the items themselves as well, but proceed with caution. What the objects are made of and their condition need to be taken into consideration before adding information to the physical item, as inks and adhesives can damage materials.
- Let family members know about the existence of the inventory and photos, especially if there are plans for passing on items.
The inventory with images also will provide family members with details they may not be aware of otherwise. Instead of just having a nice vase from Grandma, the inventory explains that it was bought by Grandpa during a trip to Paris where they first met.
And finally, inventories also are handy to have if a disaster occurs and items need to be replaced or for insurance purposes.

This exact same thing should be done with valuables for insurance purposes. By creating an inventory, including backups and photos, you would be able to provide a list of your valuables to your insurance company as easily as you could provide a list of family heirlooms to your loved ones.
Either way, great advice.
Yes, this is very helpful for insurance purposes.
Great idea! :)
Great post. This is very helpful
this is a good post and helpfull

The Tumbler package contains a D-Bus thumbnailing service based on the thumbnail management D-Bus specification. This is useful for generating thumbnail images of files.
Tumbler has since version 0.1.27 a configuration file to control the priority, locations and file sizes the plugin is used for: tumbler.rc.
To override the default configuration, located in one of the xdg directories on your system, you can copy the rc-file to your
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME directory.
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME defaults to
mkdir -p $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tumbler cp /etc/xdg/tumbler/tumbler.rc $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tumbler/
Each group in the configuration file is responsible for the settings of a particular thumbnailer plugin. The following keys can be used to adjust a plugin:
true and
false are accepted.
By the default the cover thumbnailer is disabled. The reason is that it sends information (movie title extracted from the filename) to online services to retrieve a poster. This information is normally harmless, but it is private, so therefore it's not enabled by default.
In order to use the cover thumbnailer you need to copy the tumbler.rc file to your home directory as described above and set the
Disabled key to
false. It is also advisable to set the Locations path to the directory where you store your movies.
[CoverThumbnailer] Disabled=false Priority=3 Locations=~/movies MaxFileSize=0 #APIKey=your-api-key-from-themoviedb.org
The movie thumbnailer supports two different movie APIs. By default, the The Open Movie Database API is used. You can also choose to use The Movie DB, but this site requires an API key which you have to request or uh… search.
The advantage of the latter is that their database has better support for internationalized movie names.
After creating the rc file, it is best to log off and on again to restart Thunar and Tumbler, because both applications cache the mime-type combinations.

Much to my surprise, after measuring the barrel it is .357" groove-to-groove, i.e. .002" over specification -- and this is a modern firearm! Also, the groove-to-groove (and throat) measurement of my No.4 is .318", whereas "standard" (as if there is such a thing...) is .313", i.e. 0.005" over specification -- and the barrel has no signs of throat wear, so is practically new! Can anyone beat either of those for out of specification-edness?

Following my dreams
Glass is magical. It can be clear and sparkling like frozen light, or tumbled smooth like a river stone.
What inspires me most are color and light, and how they interplay.
I began glass beadmaking began in a most unusual way:
In 1997 I dreamed night after night that I was making glass beads, only I had never made a glass bead before. I was making silver and gemstone jewelry and I wasn't inspired to work with hot glass. Yet still the dreams persisted, for weeks and for months, until I couldn't ignore them any longer. I searched for any information about glass bead making that I could find and finally took a class.
What I do:
I melt colored glass rods with an oxygen-propane torch that's mounted to my workbench. I wind a blob of hot molten glass around a clay-coated stainless steel mandrel to form a bead. Then I add layers and different colors of glass, building up the bead from the core outwards. Sometimes I decorate with thin glass stringers, shape with tools or use techniques like raking and twisting the glass. When the bead is finished and still hot, I place it in a 950 F degree kiln to anneal and strengthen the glass. At the end of the workday I program the kiln to cool down slowly to room temperature, which takes about eight hours. The next morning the beads can be removed, taken off the mandrels, cleaned, and they're ready for your jewelry!
I live in Sedona, Arizona with my two daughters. We love plants, music, art, writing, poetry, movies, salads, and chocolate.

Who Can I Be Now? is the upcoming David Bowie box set comprised of remastered versions of five of his albums as well as much coveted unreleased full-length The Gouster. Due out September 23rd via Parlophone, it also comes packed with a handful of B-sides and alternate mixes, including a previously unreleased version of the Station to Station single "TVC15". Helmed by original producer Harry Maslin, it was redone in 2010 in the hopes of encapsulating the "drier sound" Bowie had initially sought during their 1975 Station to Station recording sessions. The song — which is long believed to have been inspired by Iggy Pop's dream of a TV swallowing his girlfriend — can be heard below courtesy of the […]Read more

REVIEW: LSD Bags – Psych-Grunge That Does What it Pleases
Image by Bandcamp LSD Bags: Psych-Grunge That Does What it Pleases by Stephen Hayner, edited by Vania Hilariously indignant, with a solid, "ask questions later" approach to music and life, I had the great fortune of having a quick conversation with Denver psych-grunge band LSD Bags. The band's personality is as interesting as their story of origin. All playing in different bands, members came together to form LSD Bags. But because they were poor musicians and couldn't afford practice/recording space, they snuck into the respective spaces for their other bands, early in the morning in order to lay down some tracks and practice. Each of their singles is a little monster all its own. You Wanna Do It, their first release, sets […]Read more
REVIEW: Plum – A Psych Rock Band, Dedicated to Their Craft
Image by DU Clarion Plum: A Psych Rock Band, Dedicated to Their Craft by Stephen Hayner I was first introduced to the psychedelic hard rock band Plum with a single entitled "Hello Miss Yellow", and it is an excellent way to get into the band's catalog of three singles and an EP. One can best describe Plum's sound as long-haired, jean-jacketed instrumentation. But, their music is heavy and melded with the latest sounds currently in the indie psych rock world. Comparisons between Plum's sound and contemporaries like Tame Impala are very clear. I had the opportunity to speak with keyboardist and guitarist Ty Baron and it was immediately obvious to me the band is dedicated to the craft. Baron says the band […]Read more

【美文欣赏】Born to Win 生而为赢
小编摘要:Each human being can be a significant, thinking, aware and creative being — a productive person, a winner.
Each human being is born as something new,
something that never existed before.
Each is born with the capacity to win at life.
Each person has a unique way of seeing,
hearing, touching, tasting and thinking.
Each has his or her own unique potential capabilities and limitations.
Each can be a significant, thinking,
aware and creative being —
a productive person, a winner.
The word "winner" and "loser" have many meanings.
When we refer to a person as a winner,
we do not mean one who makes someone else lose.
To us,
a winner is one who responds authentically by being credible,
trustworthy, responsive, and genuine,
both as an individual and as a member of a society.
Winners do not dedicate their lives to a concept
of what they imagine they should be; rather,
they are themselves
and as such do not use their energy putting on a performance,
maintaining pretence, and manipulating others.
They are aware that there is a difference
between being loving and acting loving,
between being stupid and acting stupid,
between being knowledgeable and acting knowledgeable.
Winners do not need to hide behind a mask.
Winners are not afraid to do their own thinking
and to use their own knowledge.
They can separate facts from opinion
and don't pretend to have all the answers.
They listen to others, evaluate what they say,
but come to their own conclusions.
Although winners can admire and respect other people,
they are not totally defined,
demolished, bound, or awed by them.
Winners do not play "helpless",
nor do they play the blaming game.
Instead, they assume responsibility for their own lives.
They do not give others a false authority over them.
Winners are their own bosses and know it.
A winner's timing is right.
Winners respond appropriately to the situation.
Their responses are related to the message sent
and preserve the significance,
worth, well-being, and dignity of the people involved.
Winners know that for everything
there is a season and for every activity a time.
Although winners can freely enjoy themselves,
they can also postpone enjoyment,
can discipline themselves in the present
to enhance their enjoyment in the future.
Winners are not afraid to go after what they want,
but they do so in appropriate ways.
Winners do not get their security by controlling others.
They do not set themselves up to lose.
A winner cares about the world and its peoples.
A winner is not isolated from the general problems of society,
but is concerned, compassionate,
and committed to improving the quality of life.
Even in the face of national and international adversity,
a winner's self-image is not one of a powerless individual.
A winner works to make the world a better place.

Isn't America Already Kind of Socialist?
No, socialism isn't just more government — it's about democratic ownership and control.
No, socialism isn't just more government — it's about democratic ownership and control.

Only rank-and-file workers can build a better labor movement.
Labor-management partnerships will not revive the union movement.
Social impact bonds offer private interests yet another opportunity to enrich themselves at public expense.
The problems of our time will be solved by our collective capacity to change the world, not self-therapy.

In what has become something of a masochistic ritual, for the last week I have been eagerly awaiting the release of the annual report on union membership in the US, which the Bureau of Labor Statistics releases every year at the end of January.

Peter Frase's great post on some of the issues raised in the Graeber-Henwood exchange on debt reminded me of a point that kept cropping up in their discussion.

In the body of Marxist thought, there are probably few concepts that have come in for more criticism than the so-called "correspondence theory" of consciousness, which Marx articulated most explicitly in his 1845 essay The German Ideology.

The one-sided focus of most socialists on distributional questions has obscured the fact that the animating principle of the Left is not so much equality, but freedom.
