"Awake, Deborah, awake!"
"Awake, Deborah, awake!" (Judges 5:12)
Yes! Awake! God is calling His people to rise and heed His call.
We are face to face with a battle while God's army sleeps. Indifference, numbness, apathy, and "luke-warmness" run rampant in our churches today keeping us stagnant and inoperative. It's understandable It takes courage to boldly say: "Lord! If no one else will go, I will go. Send me." But, when the anointing of the Lord falls on us, the call is no longer a laborious task, it becomes a desire of the heart and a life purpose.
"As the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept." Matt 25:5
Let me tell you a quick story: I had an old pair of tennis shoes I used to live in. It dawned on me one day that because of the trials I faced with my health, unable to exercise, I had not worn them in ages. I lacked determination and the will to carry on. I was never known as the one who gives up too easily, however, and after a lot of prayer, the fire sparked again. Rummaging through the garage, I dusted them off and prayed for the strength to not give up. As usual, God heard my heart. The very next morning, a dear friend calls to offer prayer. Knowing my battles and struggles, she asked me to think of a woman in the Bible I admired most. Excitement filled my eyes when I thought of her. "Deborah!", I exclaimed.
"Well, then wear her tennis shoes! If you are not strong enough to walk in yours, walk in hers! Take on her strength, courage, determination and start striding!" After she said that, I realized I had never even told her my shoe story. God always comes through.
I believe the church today faces a similar situation. Many of us lie dormant because of fear, oppression, and bondage, or contently sit in our comfort zones. A great number of God's people are accepting the ways of the world and distancing themselves from sound doctrine; they have taken a detour from the cross and said "yes" to what God clearly says "no". Whatever the case may be, I say: awaken, oh church, awaken! Come back to your first love! The bridegroom is at the door and your lamps have no oil. Hurry, therefore, and get right with God!
Before the cradle He knew you, and after the grave forever He'll keep you, if you don't give up.
Do you see yourself as Esther, woman of prayer, fasting, and courage? Because of her boldness and audacity to appear before the King in behalf of her people, the Jews were spared.
Are you more like Deborah, a warrior, prophetess, a woman who understood the times and seasons, and had the courage to do what men wouldn't do? Fearless, and without hesitation, she marched into battle to defeat the enemy.
You may be like Ruth, determined, loyal, and compassionate, a Moabite who gave up the only life she knew to follow the God of Israel in spite of attacks and rejection from the Jewish people. Convinced of her decision to follow, she declared: "Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God".
Ruth was 'grafted in' and God chose her to be in the line of Yeshua the Messiah.
Or you may relate to Hannah, a woman of faith, a true worshiper who walked with an attitude of gratitude. With a heart filled with anxiety, she poured out her soul before the Lord, only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. She knew God could hear her, He granted her petition, and she bore the prophet Samuel.
What could be the fruit of our labor? It's time to put on the full armor of God and step onto the battlefield to find out! We could save a nation, raise prophets, win souls, revive the dead, heal the wounded, and restore the broken. Wear her tennis shoes and march on, knowing that God always equips the called and fights our battles.
Onward and upward!
"Then the Lord said to Moses, "Why are you crying out to me? Tell my people to move!" Exodus 14:15
In honor of my mentor...
Her sparkling personality and boundless energy are only met by her immeasurable desire to serve the King and others. Yet, whenever she sees you struggling up the mountain, she can briskly snap into commander's daughter and shout: "Now you get back into that innately strong person you are, young lady!"
Because of her I found my calling, I climbed a little higher and was made completely whole in Jesus.
Quiet mornings with Jesus
"Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High, will rest in the shadow of the Almighty" Psalms 91:1
It's fall! My favorite time of the year for many reasons. Mostly because it's the season for the High Holy days, a time when God really showed up in my life to bring growth and restoration particularly in my relationship with Him and my family. He started by changing the most obvious and simple thing: My faith.
"If God is ok with it, I'm ok with it", a dear friend once said while going through a difficult time. I have never met anyone quite like him. He had a deep sense of his own immortality and he journeyed through life filled with unwavering faith. Even on his worst day, he decided - totally made up his mind - that there was no trouble or situation that God didn't know about and it could never take away the resounding peace he felt in the midst of trials. I am absolutely blown away by such faith. He whistled through the storms and danced in the rain. Even prolonged battles and troubles that seemed interminable weren't able to silence his lips from uttering praise. He couldn't be moved.
I whispered: "Lord, I want that faith".
I often say prayers like that without even realizing it. It's more like a desire of my heart, or a quick passing thought attached to a strong emotion. I do remember having a burning desire for the kind of trust that walks calmly into the lion's den, and for the faith to make the sun stand still. God "heard" that desire. I noticed those are the prayers He likes to answer best, the ones I never even knew I prayed. It reminds me of the verse:
"Take delight in the LORD, and He will give you the desires of your heart." Psalms 37:4
God started speaking. He showed me the importance of spending quiet time in His presence. I finally realized that my friend was a man of prayer, a man who understood what it meant to be attached to the vine, firmly connected to the source of life; and if I really wanted that faith, I would have to work at it like he did. He never went one day without reading his Bible or doing his devotions, but "walked and talked" with Jesus both through tears and laughter.
I made it a daily habit to spend precious moments with Jesus, not saying much, just praising Him and trying to listen. My faith started to grow as I learned to shift my focus from "me" to focusing on Him. Everything changed when I realized It's not about what I am going through and all my troubles, but about what HE went through. Typically, I would whine and cry asking for this or that, and complain in disbelief that He could even hear me. - I feel ashamed every time I remember how I used to treat Him like a drive-through restaurant, and get quite upset when I didn't get my order right -
This time I chose to simply get lost in His presence, praising Him for who He is, thanking Him for His provisions and for everything He accomplished at the cross. Gently, and ever so patiently, He started to show me that my battles had already been won at Calvary. He taught me to trust no matter what giant I faced. I learned to recognize His soft whispers could only be heard in my loud and cluttered world when I searched for Him in stillness. It is the father's deep desire that His people would quiet their racing minds and busy lives to spend more time alone with Him. As He Himself told Martha:
"Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed - or indeed only one - Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her." Luke 10:4
Faith insists in believing, it's the evidence of things unseen, and the substance of things hoped for. It reveals to any observer that we've been with Jesus.
Today I am more rooted and grounded in Christ. The question "Jesus, do you love me" was settled at the cross, and I will not dare ask that again.
"When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men HAD BEEN WITH JESUS" Acts 4:13
I could write so many blog posts about my war room testimonies, I should probably start writing "the war room series". Since I started making my time with Jesus non-negotiable, intentional, and habitual, life hasn't been the same. It's in the quiet times that revivalists are born: "These men and women are fire-starters, willing to take the personal attacks if it means stirring people's hearts toward a hunger for God's presence—which in turn, lays the foundation for a move of God." (Marcus Yoars).
Revival begins in the war room. It sure has stirred up my heart, deceitful above all, but now ignited by the fire of His spirit.
"Some people are surprised to realize that the Christian life is not a playground;
it's a battleground! Like it or not, if you are a Christian, you are in a battle between good and evil. Spiritual warfare is real…and it's intense!
We have a choice as Christians. It isn't a choice of fighting or not fighting in the spiritual battle; it's a choice of victory or defeat, advancing or retreating.
In the Christian life, either you are overcoming, or you will be overcome"
(The man with unwavering faith, J. L.)
That I may fall in love with You everyday,
even on my worst day,
to love you like the first.
Hi, I'm Debora. A lover of Jesus, a wife, and a mother of 2.
June 2018
Your faith has made you whole
Nothing is impossible for those who believe

A survey has deduced that around 80 percent, or 48 out of 60, of Nissan's top execs will make the move along with the automaker to the suburbs of Nashville, Tennessee, this summer. Analysts say the retention rate shows that a dedicated group of executives is leading the way for Nissan.
That's the "glass-half-full" version of the story. Does anybody else feel like 20 percent is a pretty huge loss of top talent? Historically huge. Changes are sure to abound, not the least of which result from the learning curve for new execs, the loss of institutional memory, and a drastic shift in culture -- and we don't just mean a new preference for grits instead of tacos and Dolly Parton over Barbara Streisand. Not to mention the loss of Jack Collins, who has spent the last 16 years of his career at Nissan, the last six of which were spent as VP of new product planning. Collins decided to retire in July rather than make the move.

Paul Boam's work in the last fifty years has ranged from colourfield abstraction to the tonality of drawing, but the heart of it lies in a transcendent and continuing exploration of Tasmania's landscape and light.
Paul came to the island in 1963 from England, where he was born in Derbyshire in 1938, and trained at the Nottingham School of Art. He joined the staff of the Tasmanian School of Art in 1964 for which a generation of students, nourished by his example, conversation and insight continue to be grateful.
Although best known for his painting, Paul has always emphasized drawing as essential to his teaching, thought and practice. This reveals itself in the underlying architecture of his paintings, the line, pattern and rhythm which underpin the vibrant immediacy of his colour and brushwork. From his early Quarry series, through the stunning Bathurst Harbour paintings to the recent studies of the East Coast, he enlarges our vision of Tasmania, shows us new ways of seeing the island. His latest landscapes fuse the formal, meditative qualities of abstraction with the freer energies of a lyrical surface. His works are held by The Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, the University of Tasmania, and in many corporate and private collections around Australia. Jennifer Livett.
United Kingdom
I always wanted to be an artist. I drew and painted often and remember discovering a set of compasses at my grandparents, hours of complex patterns were produced!
I was often ill as a child and so spent more time on my own, either drawing, painting or reading. There was no interest in the visual arts at home, but my love of classical music developed through the encouragement of my mother.
I did quite well at high school and had a supportive art teacher who encouraged me to apply for admission to art school. Art school was a revelation. Instead of being a loner concerned with something no one else cared about, I was with a group of people, all as involved as myself, many much more talented.
I became intrigued with artists as diverse as Mondrian and Jackson Pollock much to the dismay of some of my lecturers who encouraged an English tonal postimpressionism. I became the student representative on the committee of the Midland Group of Artists which brought me into contact with painters working away from the art school environment and allowed me to exhibit work in a public gallery. I was also fortunate to have a work accepted for the Young Contemporaries in London. In my final year I had the privilege of handling the early drawings and sketchbooks of Samuel Palmer in the British Museum – a profound experience.
Influences have been enormous. I love the late, and long worked over studio interiors of Georges Braque. Rembrandt has always been a favourite, who knew more about the expressive power of paint! The imagination of William Blake draws me, particularly Illustrations of the Book of Job, and I admire the geometry of the Constructivists.
At the opening of an exhibition of my work someone said "but you keep changing your style". Nothing could be further from the truth. I leave "style" to the critics and the theorists. An artist who searches for a style is looking for a vice to constrain ideas. Style is, after all, the most superficial way of labelling and has no relation to quality.
Naturally an artist looks for a means of realising an idea, but ideas are mercurial. When I was exploring the nature of colour in a highly geometric way I needed a technique which was totally different to the way I could represent the breathtaking experience of Bathurst Harbour.
My early work was very tonal, as was the industrial landscape it was based on. In Tasmania things changed, the clarity of the air, and brilliance of colour influenced my work, but so did my teaching. The creation of the foundation program at the school of art encouraged me to read and study in a particular way, this in turn influenced my painting. My present preoccupation with drawing is in part due to age.
Heather Curnow wrote in 1998 in reference to an exhibition of my painting "Paul Boam's work is the result of an intense and emotional response to nature and events, given coherence by his sense of composition and his command of his painterly medium".

Welcome to the Fall 2017 section of Grinnell College's CSC 301 – Algorithm Analysis. CSC 301 is the department's advanced course in algorithms and serves as a successor to CSC 207 – Algorithms and Object-Oriented Design. In this course, we will work to develop your skills in the design, implementation, analysis, and verification of algorithms, abstract data types, and data structures.
Along the way, we will consider a variety of classic algorithms, ADTs, and data structures – the "literature" of CS, as it were. Why do we read the literature? Because knowing how problems have been solved in the past helps us solve future problems. An article on mathematics suggests the value of knowing the literature.
Yet, as they told me, the proof [of the Green-Tao Theorem] depended on the insights of many other mathematicians. In the game of devil's chess [mathematics], players have no real hope if they haven't studied the winning games of the masters. A proof establishes facts that can be used in subsequent proofs, but it also offers a set of moves and strategies that forced the devil to submit — a devious way to pin one of his pieces or shut down a counterattack, or an endgame move that sacrifices a bishop to gain a winning position. Just as a chess player might examine variations of the Ruy Lopez and King's Indian Defense, a mathematician might study particularly clever applications of the Chinese remainder theorem or the sieve of Eratosthenes. The wise player has a vast repertoire to draw on, and the crafty player intuits the move that suits the moment.
Cook, Gareth (2015). The Singular Mind of Terry Tao. The New York Times Magazine. 26 July 2015. Available online at http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/26/magazine/the-singular-mind-of-terry-tao.html.
This course will certainly expand your "repertoire to draw on".
If you have any disability that requires accommodations, please speak with me as soon as possible so we can figure out how I can best facilitate your learning in this course. Note that you will also need to provide documentation of your disability to the Dean for Student Academic Support and Advising, John Hirschman, located on the 3rd floor of the Rosenfield Center (x3089).
Class Format
I firmly believe that you learn by doing. While I do not expect to make this a full workshop-style course, akin to CSC 151 or CSC 161, I will do my best to regularly give you the opportunity to work individually and together on problems during class time. I am also likely to conduct many class sessions using my standard "pseudo recitation" style – I will randomly select students and ask a series of questions. You should do your best to answer those questions, but you should feel free to say "I'm not sure" or to ask me your own questions.
Important Warnings
Warning! Although I love algorithms, this is my first semester teaching CSC 301. I will be using the same structure as SamR's section, so hopefully we'll stay on schedule.
Warning! I have chronic migraine disorder and will be starting a new treatment which requires driving to Des Moines every three months. Hopefully it will work and I'll never have trouble getting things done on time, but in the mean time be aware that I may have to adjust my schedule suddenly on a bad day. This would include having to reschedule office hours or appointments. I hope that you'll understand if that does happen, but hopefully it won't.
Meets: MWF, 3:00-3:50 p.m., location TBD.
Instructor: Anya E. Vostinar [vostinar], Science 3809.
Office hours: Posted here
Be aware that I bring Cache the wonder dog to my office regularly and she will likely be at office hours. If you would like a dog-free meeting, just let me know a day ahead of time and I'll make arrangements.
- Weekly homework assignments: 20%.
- Take-home examinations (2): 30%.

- Best of (HW, Take-homes, Final): 10%.
Books and Other Readings
Skiena, Steven S. (2008). The Algorithm Design Manual, 2nd Edition.
I like the Skiena book because it helps you think carefully through algorithm design and it's not quite as overwhelming as the CLRS text. Unfortunately, Skiena does not cover all of the important data structures in depth, so I will provide supplementary material to help you understand those structures.
Cormen, Thomas H., Leiserson, Charles E., Rivest, Ronald L., and Stein, Clifford (2009). Introduction to Algorithms, 3rd Edition. MIT Press.
A classic (and somewhat exhaustive) text on algorithms. This text is an excellent reference, but is also somewhat dense. As a professional computer scientist, you'll want it on your bookshelf, but it will supplement the Skiena text.
Skiena, Steven S. (n.d.). Web Site for The Algorithm Design Manual, 2nd Edition. http://www.algorist.com/.
The Web site includes lecture slides and some audio/video material.
Recommended Texts
Knuth, Donald E. (2011). The Art of Computer Programming, Volumes 1-4a. Addison-Wesley.
If I were braver, I'd make this the required text for the course. These texts are dense, thorough, and classic. As you progress in CS, you'll find yourself turning to these volumes to challenge yourself to think more carefully, more deeply, and more clearly.
Learning Outcomes
By the time you finish this course, you should be able to
- Employ a variety of techniques for designing algorithms, including
- Greed
- Divide and conquer
- Dynamic programming / memoization
- Analyze the asymptotic behavior of deterministic algorithms using Big-O notation.
- Prove certain characteristics of algorithms (e.g., correctness, lower bounds, running time).
- Describe and implement a variety of classic algorithms.
- Describe a variety of classic ADTs.
- Describe and implement a variety of classic data structures.

CANTON, GA (The Atlanta Journal-Constitution) – A Cherokee County man was indicted on child molestation and statutory rape charges Thursday, officials said.
Halario Matias Perez of Canton was originally charged only with statutory rape when deputies said they found him having sex with a 15-year-old girl in a parked car about 8:30 a.m. on June 19, according to the arrest report.
The child molestation charge was added after deputies learned Perez was 21 years old, Cherokee County sheriff's Cpl. Christopher Bryant said.
A resident who lived on the dead-end road where Perez parked called 911 and reported a Ford Mustang had been near her gate for an extended period of time, deputies said.
Bryant wrote that he found the couple in the obvious act of intercourse.
Perez said he knew the girl from a church they attended and admitted he knew she was 15, Bryant wrote in the report, but Perez lied and said he was 18.
When Bryant told Perez he was under arrest on a statutory rape charge, "Hilario became extremely emotional, stating he had made a mistake," Bryant wrote, "going so far as to throw himself at my feet and begin praying and begging for mercy while grabbing at my boots."
Though the teenage girl told Bryant she consented to sex, Bryant explained to her that she was not legally able to consent, the report states.
While Perez was given bond on the molestation and rape charges, he is being held in the Cherokee County Adult Detention Center without bond on an immigration hold, the sheriff's office said.

Issue 19-59 Science and Technology
April 4, 2019
Federal government spending on science and technology (S&T) is expected to total $11.7 billion (current dollars) in the 2019/2020 fiscal year. Intended S&T expenditure is lower (-2.6%) than in 2018/2019, when spending was at $12.0 billion, and marks the second consecutive annual decline in federal spending on S&T.
A total of $7.6 billion (65% of federal S&T spending) is intended for research and development (R&D) in 2019/20, with the remaining $4.1 billion allocated for related scientific activities (RSA) such as data collection and information services. Most of the federal S&T spending is expected to go to funding for natural sciences and engineering ($9.0 billion), with the remaining $2.7 billion going to the social sciences, humanities and the arts. It is estimated that in 2019/20, there will be approximately 36,100 federal personnel engaged in S&T activities, a slight increase over the previous year (36,059).

Technical difference _ In 2D floor plans, you, the designer, work on both y axis and x axis. Moreover, the design can be changed in up, down, right and left sides. On the other hand, 2D plans are a lot simpler and cheaper relatively. They can be used to show the right, top and front side of the object. Unlike 2D, designers work on three exis to create 3D floor plans. Actually, this is like molding an object that looks same no matter which angle you look at it from. With 3D technology, solid models and wireframes are created line by line.
Why use 3D rendering? If you are looking to build a home or you have a development project, 3D rendering is such a great tool. It gives you the opportunity to see the project before you even start to build! From the facades, right down to the light fixtures. This allows you to ensure that you get everything you want and need out of your new design. This technology has completely changed the dynamics of architecture and engineering as it gives you the ability to see exactly what the home or development will look like before you even start to build. If you are looking to build in Sydney or anywhere in Australia then 3D rendering will give you the freedom to design it and then build it!

Clobotics, a Chinese intelligent computer vision solutions developer, has raised US$22 million in a series pre-B round of financing led by Taiwan-based investment firm CDIB Capital Group and CMC Capital, an equity investment group in Greater China.
Several other investors including global venture capital company GGV Capital and Beijing-based private equity firm Capital Development Investment Fund also poured money into the new round, Clobotics announced in a statement released on its WeChat official account on Thursday.
Clobotics also announced the appointment of Shi Dinghuan, who will serve as a member of the firm's strategy committee. Shi previously served as a counsellor at the State Council, or China's cabinet, where he was responsible for the research and formulation of energy policies, and science & technology (S&T) development strategy and policy.
Clobotics was founded in November 2016 and dual-headquartered in Shanghai, China and Seattle, the United States. The company provides end-to-end solutions powered by computer vision, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and data analytics software. Its solutions are applied in autonomous drones, mobile applications and other internet of things (IoT) devices to help companies automate time-intensive operational processes, increase efficiencies, and boost the bottom line through the use of real-time, data-driven analysis.
Claimed to have an accuracy rate of 95% in its machine recognition offerings in the retail space, Clobotics has formed cooperations with some of the largest retail companies worldwide including Coca-Cola, Walmart, and Procter & Gamble. The company also entered into an agreement with European wind operations and maintenance (O&M) firm GEV Wind Power in February 2019 to deliver its AI-based autonomous blade inspections for wind turbines.
Proceeds will be used to enhance the company's machine vision-based products and services, and promote their applications in the fields of retail and wind power. Clobotics also plans to use the money to further expand the overseas market with focuses on the United States and Europe.
The start-up has grabbed a total of US$43 million in funding in less than three years since its inception. Clobotics closed US$11 million in a series A+ round led by Chinese investment firm Infotech Ventures and Wangsu Science & Technology, a China-based company that provides content delivery network and internet data center services, in August 2018.
The company completed a series A round worth US$5 million led by South Korea's KTB Ventures, with participation from GGV Capital and Capital Development Investment Fund in January 2018. The firm also secured a series A round led by GGV Capital in June 2017. Financial details of the round were not disclosed.

Bigsby, Kevin; Ambrose, Mark; Tobin, Patrick; Sills, Erin. 2014. The cost of gypsy moth sex in the city. Urban Forestry & Urban Greening. Vol: 13(3). Pages 459-468. (Abstract) (Online version)
Since its introduction in the 1860s, gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar (L.), has periodically defoliated large swaths of forest in the eastern United States. Prior research has suggested that the greatest costs and losses from these outbreaks accrue in residential areas, but these impacts have not been well quantified. We addressed this lacuna with a case study of Baltimore City. Using two urban tree inventories, we estimated potential costs and losses from a range of gypsy moth outbreak scenarios under different environmental and management conditions. We combined outbreak scenarios with urban forest data to model defoliation and mortality and based the costs and losses on the distribution of tree species in different size classes and land uses throughout Baltimore City. In each outbreak, we estimated the costs of public and private suppression, tree removal and replacement, and human medical treatment, as well as the losses associated with reduced pollution uptake, increased carbon emissions and foregone sequestration. Of the approximately 2.3 M trees in Baltimore City, a majority of the basal area was primary or secondary host for gypsy moth. Under the low outbreak scenario, with federal and state suppression efforts, total costs and losses were $5.540 M, much less than the $63.666 M estimated for the high outbreak scenario, in which the local public and private sectors were responsible for substantially greater tree removal and replacement costs. The framework that we created can be used to estimate the impacts of other non-native pests in urban environments.

I'll look for the praying mat.Your hair is exposed. I know. ♪ My name is Hata. My name is Assad, what is my name? When you hear the call for prayer, go and pray. Mom, I'm hungry. Yes sweety! Food is almost ready. When is it going to be ready? In a litlle while. What comforts you, comforts me. You are very welcome! But where is Mr. Khalil's office? You are very welcome any time. Just tell me what you need and I will be happy to oblige. Frankly, I would like to look around the village, and I need someone to accompany me. I'll do that. I'll make myself free and come with you wherever you want to go. Assad, Assad, Mr. Assad! Yes! Whenever he sees ladies, he shows up here. Yes? Sir, we were sitting here and suddenly someone showed up. No problem. That's all your fault, your fault... You worm! Damn you woman! It's all your fault, all your fault! You shouldn't go out on an empty stomach. You should have some breakfast. Darling, you shouldn't leave on an empty stomach. The next time I will go as I wish. If I want to have breakfast or not, that's my business, not yours. May you go blind! I'll show you the whole area. I know it inch by inch, and meter by meter. That's normal. No problem. My dear Assad, you've got work to do. I'll take the time to accompany the young lady. But this will not affect your Baccalaureate studies? No, that won't affect my studies. Please rest for a while. Assad, go get me two eggs so I can make your lunch. Alright. Miss, how would you like to see our bulldozer? Good day Mayor Nabih! Good to see you. Come in. I just need to understand something now, are you the mayor or aren't you? What is this nonsense now? You should live up to your status and title. You shouldn't allow others to take advantage of you. Do you think it's proper that a guest visits the village and goes directly to Assad's house without visiting you first? You are our Mayor and our senior. Do you find this proper behaviour? It's just unacceptable. No one can mess up with me. That's the way Mayor! That's the way! Goodbye! Look at the TV. I wonder why you look older than your age. You've had your share in your life, right? I still didn't get my Baccalaureate. You mean, you haven't passed it yet? I've sat for it about ten times. But each time I end up repeating it. Too bad!

But listen, the mayor might be able to show you her grandfather's grave. Would you like us to stop by his office in our way? Sure! Where will you end up if you stray away from cultural traditions and moral codes? Mom! Come and see what Ahmed is doing. She chose us on her own. We didn't say anything to her. Shut up, please! When I see the Mayor, I'll have a word with him. Because he is a government official and he knows better. I'll take her to our house so she can spend some time with Afaf. On the one hand, they get to pass time together as girls do and on the other hand, it's the right way to welcome guests. Assad, Assad! Good day! Welcome! We heard that you have guests. She claims that she's here to find her grandfather's grave. She's come from the ends of the world... to see the grave of her grandfather. I don't believe her. Afaf, where are you going? Where could I? You Afaf, come back! I swear if your brother knew, he will beat up the both of us. Assad is a decent man. I trust him more than myself. But what is right is right. When a stranger comes to the village, the first thing he ought do is to visit the senior of the village. And that is me. Mr. Assad and Mr. Eskander. Assad. In regard to your grandfather, may his soul rest in peace, I don't know him. If you want to ask me where his grave is, I can only tell you that I really don't know. I must inquire. You play the lawyer and we go along with you. And you look down on us. But now it has become clear that you are a liar, a crook, and a fraud! Shut your mouth! The government poses the questions and the people answer. And if the people don't have an answer then they shut their mouths. Okay, I will shut up. I work for the government and I want to know.

Weather and Luas behind drop in cyclist numbers, say campaigners
The number of cyclists commuting into Dublin city centre has dropped for the first time in nearly 10 years, with cycling groups blaming bad weather and the new Luas Cross City.
According to the National Transport Authority, a total of 12,227 people cycled into the city centre over the course of a number of mornings in November last year.
The figure was in the 'Canal Cordon Report 2018', which compiles an annual count of commuter traffic crossing over Dublin's canals.
The cycling numbers are slightly down compared to 2017, when a record total of 12,500 were counted during peak morning hours.
Chairman of Dublin Cycling Campaign Dr Paul Corcoran, told the Irish Independent he believed two factors were behind the drop.
"We noticed that the weather was particularly bad when the survey was carried out," he said.
"The report shows an increase in the number of people taking buses and taxis during this time, so it makes sense that more people opted to leave their bikes at home.
"We also believe that the completion of the new cross-city Luas line could be a factor, too. It may now be more convenient for some people to hop on the Luas to their jobs, instead of cycling in."
The report found the number of cars entering the city centre had fallen for the 10th successive year, with 48,820 vehicles coming into the city carrying 60,537 people. This is compared with 2008, when 59,000 vehicles carrying 67,700 people were counted.
The numbers of people using public transport continues to increase. Some 112,512 people came into the city on bus, train or Luas in 2018 compared to 107,160 in 2017 and just 83,000 in 2010.
Luas posted an increase of nearly 2,000 morning peak passengers, from 11,953 to 13,835 – a jump of 15pc.
#bb-iawr-inarticle- { clear: both; margin: 0 0 15px; }
Pedestrians accounted for 23,858 – a slight drop from last year's record high.
Anne Graham, NTA chief executive, said: "The growing gap between the numbers using public transport and the private car means that things are moving in the right direction."

Last week while sitting in my craft room working on a seed bead amulet bag, I heard the Weather Channel announce a fast moving storm front that was currently in Louisiana. The rain had made Mardi Gras partying in New Orleans a bit of a challenge. The weather map displayed a long line of green and red colors superimposed over the SE portion of the country, indicating Pensacola was probably going to have some rain and possibly hail, thunder and lightening. As the morning progressed it soon became apparent this was not "just" a minor storm. The word "tornados", plural, kept coming up in the forecaster's conversation. I only had one wish. Please let me finish my seed bead project before the worst of the storm. No way was I going to die before I finished this project that has taken me a month to finish. The dogs were nestled in their crates, giving me no indication of any thunder, lightening or barometer changes. Around 9:30 a.m. the cat gave out a loud yowl, a sound like a long drawn out, "Rrrwwooow", that would have made a Siamese cat proud. Roughly translated, my cat said, "Danger, Will Rogers! Danger, Danger". She then went into hiding. There was still no confirmation from the canine pair. They slept soundly in their crates. What always scares me at the beginning of a storm is the initial dark black sky with gnarly grey clouds. This is it. If something bad is going to happen we'll know soon enough. But that storm eventually passed. It was bad, but no damage was done to the house nor were there any trees down or even bad wind. The TV announced tornados had touched down in the vicinity though, with one ripping through a gas station in nearby Mobile. I continued with my beading project only to hear on the Weather Channel that the back edge of the storm was going to possibly bring more rain, hail and tornados. This time River started furiously barking and scratching in his crate. Afraid he might hurt him self, I sat down on the floor next to his crate with a book and my Blackberry. Checking the local TV channel afterwards I found out more tornados had come down southeast and north of us but again we were safe in Pensacola. The dogs slept well last night, exhausted from the terrible rumbling of thunder that shook the frame of the house.
There was one major impact from the storm though. Apparently it blew out my computer's modem. Or that is the assumption, since my computer works well at my computer guru's house. Harvey came over here and checked the network lines (there are three computers in our house). Finally a call to AT&T's tech department determined it is either a modem problem or a "filter" problem. The filter is one of those little five inch plug in connectors between the phone line and phone. It allows us to have Internet and phone data coming in to the right place or something like that. Anyhow, the filters are cheap and even I can replace them. It remains to be seen if I can figure out how to reconfigure the new modem to the router and computers. Ick. I'm out of my comfort zone again. Thank goodness Harvey is only a phone call away!
The following day it was cool, sunny and windy. My tracking plans that were postponed were back on again. Levi did a stellar job, tracking nine straight line tracks into the wind, 20-40-80 steps. A field trainer asked politely when I would be finished with the field. We never introduced ourselves but watched each other train our dogs in different venues. Meanwhile River was barking furiously in my car. How dare I not track him too! Looking around the huge fields I decided to start his track in the RV parking area, a partially grass covered and graveled area. The track would then take an angled turn down to the left toward a pond, then return uphill to a distant pile of dirt, turn left and finally end about 50 yards to the right. River had a hard time starting in the RV area. Too many gasoline smells? He easily tracked across the gravel and down toward the pond, indicating the angled turn with no circling. But when he got down toward the pond and was turning back up the hill he obviously had problems. The wind from the northwest was blowing my scent back down toward the pond. Yes, the pond where the sign says, "Beware of Snakes". To quote Harrison Ford in Raiders of the Lost Ark, "I hate snakes!" I held my ground, said, "Leave it", backed up and helped him work himself over toward the hill away from the pond. He figured it out finally and finished the last two turns to his glove. Unlike Levi, he doesn't go nuts with the glove. He wags his tail, flaps the glove around for a bit, carries it a few steps and then drops it. His job was done.
River has been tracking since he was about nine weeks old. He will be eleven years old in June. Somewhere in my file is an old picture of him when he first learned to track, wearing his tiny harness, with a big glove on the ground next to him. Tracking is something he loves. No way will he ever let me leave him in the car while I train Levi, not without a major canine temper tantrum. Not a problem River. I'll try to "lose" more gloves and maybe some plastic and cloth items too. Just stay away from those snakes!

Spell Disruption (Su): The very presence of an elemental grue interferes with spells that affect the grue's associated element. Any spellcaster within 40 feet of a chaggrin who casts a spell with the same descriptor as the grue's element (earth, fire, air, or water) must succeed on a DC 15 caster level check or have the spell fail. Within the same area of any such spell currently in effect, a grue has a chance to dispel the effect as a free action, as if casting a targeted dispel magic (caster level 10th).
An ildriss uses its speed, maneuverability, and invisibility to best advantage in combat. Air grues like to race through an enemy's ranks, striking foes at random to cause the most mayhem and uncertainty.
Invisible (Su): Air grues are naturally invisible, gaining total concealment.
Each type of grue has its own unique combat abilities and tactics, but all share some qualities. An elemental grue's natural attacks, as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as evil-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
Air Subtype
This subtype usually is used for elementals and outsiders with a connection to the Elemental Plane Air. Air creatures always have fly speeds and usually have perfect maneuverability (see the section on Movement).
Evil Subtype
A subtype usually applied only to outsiders native to the evil-aligned Outer Planes. Evil outsiders are also called fiends. Most creatures that have this subtype also have evil alignments; however, if their alignments change, they still retain the subtype. Any effect that depends on alignment affects a creature with this subtype as if the creature has an evil alignment, no matter what its alignment actually is. The creature also suffers effects according to its actual alignment. A creature with the evil subtype overcomes damage reduction as if its natural weapons and any weapons it wields were evil-aligned (see Damage Reduction).
Extraplanar Subtype
A subtype applied to any creature when it is on a plane other than its native plane. A creature that travels the planes can gain or lose this subtype as it goes from plane to plane. This book assumes that encounters with creatures take place on the Material Plane, and every creature whose native plane is not the Material Plane has the extraplanar subtype (but would not have when on its home plane). An extraplanar creatures usually has a home plane mentioned in its description. These home planes are taken from the Great Wheel cosmology of the D&D game (see Chapter 5 of the Dungeon Master's Guide). If your campaign uses a different cosmology, you will need to assign different home planes to extraplanar creatures.
Creatures not labeled as extraplanar are natives of the Material Plane, and they gain the extraplanar subtype if they leave the Material Plane. No creature has the extraplanar subtype when it is on a transitive plane; the transitive planes in the D&D cosmology are the Astral Plane, the Ethereal Plane, and the Plane of Shadow.

Held once every two years as a joint programme of the ACFTU, the Ministry of Justice and the All-China Lawyers Association, the National Awards for Outstanding Lawyers Protecting Workers' Rights and Interests were first presented in 2006. April 2015 saw the start of the latest selection process, with ten government and non-government lawyers set to receive the honorary title of National Outstanding Lawyer Protecting Workers' Rights and Interests and being awarded the First of May Labour Medal.
An ACFTU spokesperson explains that the qualities commemorated by this year's awards are excellence, novelty and transparency, with only the best being selected. The selection criteria are strict. To be considered, candidates must "have taken on a certain number of labour dispute cases and protected workers' rights and interests effectively" and "have an outstanding and active social influence nationwide". The procedures involved are innovative but simple. Candidates can either be recommended by others or put their own names forward. Those previously honoured with the title are able to participate again this year. Transparency is especially emphasized and public participation is welcome. With the exception of the assessment of candidates' qualifications, investigation of performance and re-examination procedures, the results will be published in national newspapers and websites to ensure the process is seen to be fair and just.
Since the awards began, 40 outstanding lawyers have been selected for the First of May Labour Medal because of their commitment to solving labour disputes and protecting workers' legitimate rights and interests. They are appointed by trade unions to head up legal teams and legal aid centres and participate in the handling of major cases, actively promote legislation and raise awareness of legal issues, providing workers with an "umbrella of protection". An example is Tong Lihua, one of the inaugural winners of the award, who established the first public interest organization devoted to providing legal aid for migrant workers in China. Beijing Zhicheng Public Interest Lawyers have managed to retrieve the back pay owed to over 20,000 migrant workers, to the value of some 180 million yuan (about US$ 29 million).
Outstanding lawyers are tasked by the ACFTU with stepping up the provision of public interest legal services, including legal advice on significant cases related to the rights and interests of workers and trade unions, participating in case resolution and supervision activities in the labour law field, assisting trade unions with legal education campaigns, and making full use of their role in protecting workers' rights and interests and constructing harmonious labour relations.
The specific selection criteria and application and recommendation procedures as well as the recommendation forms are available on the official websites of the ACFTU, the Ministry of Justice, the All-China Lawyers Association and workercn.cn.

Stevie's style is an organic outlet of her spirit and artistry, offering gauzy, breezy fabric in long, billowy cuts with tons of lace, velvet and tapestry for luxurious texture or bell bottoms and peasant-style skirts with handkerchief hems designed for a freer, more interesting va-va-voom.
She incorporates flowing bell sleeves, ruffles and silks galore and layers of lace for romance and poetry which is a requirement for a songstress like Stevie.
You'll want to accessorize with lots of hats of all shapes and sizes, draped in scarves and never be without a signature piece of jewelry like her Crescent Moon necklace.
Shop in small boutiques and marketplaces on your travels and load up on trinkets that you will cherish. Every piece will have a story to tell.
Fringed ponchos, bolero and shawls or kimono — these are just a means of wrapping yourself up for a little dramatic flair. These swinging pieces gave Stevie something to work with on stage and became entwined in her fashion style.
Platform shoes and knee-high boots…for Stevie it's all about elevating her tiny body to statuesque stage goddess.
Leather and lace is not just a song she wrote; it's a style she created.
Stevie wears natural make-up that looks fresh and sun-kissed paired with dramatic eyes and deep lip color. Her hair involves feathery-layered looks and flyaway bangs with natural looking waves. She has had cool bangs since the 1970s.
Stevie is not a trend or a fad…she is a boho original.

Stevie is our Art Muse as well, for my painting and Marcie's photography.
Stevie and I both love to paint and draw. She said in a 1997 interview "I do (still paint). That's just something that's there, and one day the time will be right and I'll do a coffee-table book. It's just sitting there waiting, like the next album."
I have been painting since I took a drawing class in college. Actually in grade school my best friend's mother was the art teacher in high school, and I would walk into her classroom and think this must be what heaven is like. The creative vibe was so strong mixed with the smell of paints and varnish remover. All these students' art work would be lined up, and it held some kind of magic hold for me. My mother also started painting these beautiful little toile paintings around the same time and her paint brushes were in a Pringles can. I was fascinated with her art supplies…like a kid in a candy store. The creative bug has been with me ever since, showing up in different ways from creating a cook book for our tearoom, poetry, painting, decorating, fashion and photography.
A stunning collection of Polaroids, self-portraits created by Stevie from 1969 to 1987, went on display in New York in 2014, after languishing in a shoebox for years. Her 24 Karat Gold retrospective exhibit reveals a frozen moment in time through the eyes of the artist herself. She would dress herself, set up the scenery, and position the camera, in the middle of the night while the world slept.
I think Stevie has a particular appeal with women. From a photographic point of view, if you look at those Polaroids, she is really being her own muse in terms of how she wanted to see herself. She opened up this wonderful treasure chest of clothing and furniture and accessories, and all the things that she would have had around her to create these little worlds of fashion, and how she saw herself. Stevie was learning and experimenting, very sophisticated in her knowledge of composition, framing, color. The shots are just beautifully art directed.
Marcie shared with me why she began the Forever51blog… because she wanted to look back at her fifties and have some touchstone of this moment in time for herself, and to create little worlds for each Forever 51 woman and her particular style and love of fashion.
"I want everyone who does this blog with me to embrace the creative expression it offers, from picking out the outfit and posing and composing photos to finding the words and music that expand its mood," she said. "Women over-fifty are vibrant and interesting, and this is a sisterly, nurturing place of support, exploration, and expression."
Life is like art. And that is the beauty of it. You don't know how it's going to turn out. It's always evolving and changing. What does your canvas look like? I truly believe one of the reason so many women love Stevie Nicks is because they love the mystery of her haunting voice, her lyrics, her fashion choices, her art, her poetry, her whimsy, her magic that she weaves and her stories. What story is your life writing…what style are you speaking as soon as you enter a room…what creativity are you practicing?

fat jokes aren't funny
August 17, 2012 | 48 Comments
I was nervous to respond to Ms. Arden. I mean, for one: she's famous; two: I'm not; and three: where's my sense of humour, yo?
A fan, a follower, a rhino with back fat, mentally taekwondo-ing her way to healthy mirror responses—the kind without tears, hateful self-talk or fetal positions—read that tweet and felt shame. Back-fat shame. Probably-maybe-almost-certainly for the 30th time that day. And it wasn't even noon.
I get she's trying to poke fun at her body, because I've done it, and the habit dies like a B-movie villain.
Don't self-deprecate around me; for my sake and yours. And give me a jab when I sometimes forget shame isn't hilarious.

Best Screenplay: Tribeca Film Festival
Best Screenplay: Outfest
Morgan (director Ingrid Jungermann) and her ex-girlfriend Jean (Ann Carr) run a true crime podcast from their hip Brooklyn home. Then Morgan meets Simone, and despite not really knowing her, starts a new relationship… what follows examines the nature of love and the fascination in uncovering the evidence for crime.
A perfectly realised deadpan, dark comedy, Women Who Kill is an outstanding feature debut from the woman behind the web series The Slope and F to 7th.
"My favorite of the American films, Ingrid Jungermann's Women Who Kill, is a comedy so low-key and diffident, not to mention morbid, that it can take several beats to catch on to the jokes." New York Times
"Imagine Serial recast as a dark comedy, mixing the fear, paranoia, and sharp humor that can spring up in both relationships and murder mysteries." Paper Magazine

On a good day, if I am hungry and need a little something extra to tide me over before dinner (but otherwise have stuck to my diet), I might take a trip to the grocery store by my work. However, before I go I try to visualize what I am going to buy, because if I don't then the cookies, candy, and even trail mix starts calling my name as I enter the door.
One of the treats that I used to get on these days was medjool dates (they are delicious). I would get a bag of three or four and call it a day. The only problem is that once I looked up calories of just one (66 cal.) with most of these coming from sugar (I should have known this seeing as they taste like caramel) meant that for four of these I would be eating 266 cal. and 64g of sugar (which is a lot for a snack, I could have almost nine whole carrots for that many calories).
This is an example of how even when we think we are being healthy, it is easy to reach for snacks that "appear" healthy, but are just as bad as some processed foods (well maybe not as bad as that, it still has fiber). A similar situation is how some parents try to pack dried fruits or trail mix instead of fruit snacks or Hostess cupcakes. But those dried mango prices that were so popular at Costco a couple years ago are crammed with sugar. And the average trail mix has significantly more calories in it then people would think, it is nuts and dried fruit, with chocolate.
Today I was able to grab a tangerine and call it good. But I have to remind myself that if something tastes too good to be healthy, then it most likely is, even if it is fruit.

Set in the fog bound streets of post war London, The Tiger in the Smoke is a dark and twisted story which features ruthless killer Jack Havoc. As Sara Paretsky explains in her introduction, which is exclusive to the Macmillan Collector's Library edition, 'Today's crime writers often dwell on the inner workings of their serial killers minds but Allingham's focus is quite different. She doesn't care about his minds or motives; her interest in Havoc's effect on a series of communities.'
Sweet Danger by contrast is set largely in the countryside, where Allingham herself lived much of her adult life. And whilst Albert Campion plays a small part in The Tiger in the Smoke this unassuming aristocrat is central to unravelling the complex mystery at the heart of Sweet Danger. As Val McDermid describes it in her wonderful introduction ' The story itself is a roistering fantasy of heroes and villains, of creepiness and craziness, of romance and romanticism'.

The Crooner's Weekly TOP 5 (9.19.12)
Wednesday, September 19, 2012
I LOVE HAWAIIAN MUSIC! True story.
And I listen to it all the time! Especially when I'm on the move–either walking along NYC's crowded sidewalks or riding the rails on the subway through the tunnels under the concrete. (I'm convinced that it helps to keep me sane in this crazy city!)
I love a really wide variety of it: vintage, traditional, contemporary, instrumental…
And I love sharing some of my favorites with you.
Here are the TOP 5 SONGS from my iPod this week:
1. Ei Nei (Lena Machado's recording on the album Hawaiian Song Bird)
One of my favorite voices from the past is Aunty Lena Machado. And while her voice and this song are both considered to be vintage by some folks, in my mind they're also timeless.
One of my favorite things to hear when I'm on Molokai is when one of the kūpuna (elders) calls out so sweetly to someone across the room, "Hui! Ei nei… aloha! Aloha mai!" ("You there! Darling! Love from me to you!")
There's a great story in the book, LENA MACHADO: SONGBIRD OF HAWAI'I that describes Aunty Lena's relationship with her husband, Uncle Lu.
Listening to the song takes me back to when I was a little boy, staying in my grandparents' house in Pennsylvania. After dinner was finished and the dishes had been washed, they'd turn out the overhead lights and the kitchen would be lit by a tiny light over the sink. We'd all go into the other room to watch television, with my grandparents holding hands while they walked.
Ei nei…
2. Nā ʻOno O Ka ʻĀina (Aunty Edith Kanakaʻole's recording on the album Hiʻipoi I Ka ʻĀina Aloha)
I love this album and I love this particular track. Here's why:
This piece is dedicated to Aunty Edith Kanakaʻole and inspired by her song, Ka Uluwehi O Ke Kai as well as her teachings. The composition, attributed to Kalani Meinecke and George Kahumoku in the album's liner notes, describes different types of taros (Aunty Edith's favorites) and is done like a hymeni-style (hymn-like) chant with beautiful vocal harmonies.
The last verse of the piece will be instantly recognizable to so many people as the group HAPA used it to close their legendary recording of Ka Uluwehi O Ke Kai.
Note to self: I need to make this part of my repertoire!
*Please click HERE to visit the website of the Edith Kanakaʻole Foundation.
3. A Lei Of Aloha (Moe Keale's recording on the album Imagine)
Wanna hear a beautiful song that really describes the spirit of Aloha? This is it.
Incredibly simple–and yet so deep. How do you describe the Aloha spirit? Well, this song's lyrics do a great job of illustrating something so easily felt but so difficult to put into words.
And who better to sing it than Uncle Moe Keale? His voice… his voice…
I've been listening to this song on repeat. I like to think that the more I listen, the more it sinks into my bones.
*Please click HERE to visit a page that display's the song's lyrics.
4. One Day Soon (Ernie Cruz Jr's recording on the album Portaits)
Oooh! This song is smooth!
And that awesome slap-strum that makes such a fun beat! I bet you can't listen to it without moving your body. I find myself snapping along while I listen–like I'm back in my father's jazz club.
The song reminds me of a Stevie Wonder tune. Old-school soul groove all the way–island style. Love it.
5. Noenoe (Cyril Pahinui's recording on the album 6 & 12 String Slack Key)
When I'm stressed out, I put on some amazing kī hōʻalu, slack key guitar, music. It soothes me. Reaches down inside me and acts a pressure release. Seriously. I can feel my shoulders drop away from my ears…
This song, played by the one and only Cyril Pahinui, is like listening to the soundtrack of a dream. Ah! Those arpeggios! The notes mix and swirl like colors on an artist's palette.
A true master, he bends the strings and the rhythms under his skilled fingers.
*Please click HERE to visit Uncle Cyril's website.
What are YOU listening to? Drop me a line and let me know!
And, as always, a giant MAHALO to Puna and the gang at www.mele.com for being an awesome Hawaiian music resource. You all make the world a better place! I'm DEFINITELY thankful for that!

Chelsea Textiles
Chelsea Textiles is a family firm, started in 1990 by Mona Perlhagen, who moved to London from New York, where she had been a fashion buyer for Bloomingdale's. She identified a need for perfect recreations of antique embroidered fabrics and cushions, to complement traditional interiors, and set about researching and sourcing authentic materials and the world's best craftsmen, to produce hand-embroidered fabrics of the same quality as those of the 17th and 18th centuries. Since that time, the company's design ethos has evolved to encompass the early 20th century. The product range has also expanded to include furniture, inspired by Mona's seven years in Sweden, with a Scandinavian theme, both traditional Gustavian and 20th century design classics. While firmly rooted in the past, pieces have been carefully adapted to complement the more understated interiors of the 21st century.


text: This free baby swaddle pattern and the easy tutorial has been requested by many of our readers over the past few months. I have tried to make the pattern easy to adjust and to sew. Hope you enjoy it and put it to good use either with your own family or as a gift for a friend. I credit many more hours of sleep to the baby swaddle, a humble practice dating back to the discovery of linen I am sure somewhere around 4000 to 4500 years ago. You can read more about why we use the baby swaddle by reviewing the article. Please have a look through and contribute to the many reader comments which are very informative. In this design, I have tried to take into consideration that most babies roll at different stages and it is hard to make a one-size-fits-all. To try to address this, I have graded the pattern in two sizes. The smallest should fit a newborn and the larger size for bigger babies. You can also adjust the pattern yourself if you want. I hope you enjoy the project. Key Features: Easy to make; Graded in two sizes for newborns and larger babies; Optional zippered bottom for easy diaper changing BASIC SKILLS NECESSARY Basic sewing Bias tape application Invisible zipper SIZING / FINISHED MEASUREMENTS Small: length 19″ x width 25″ Medium: length 21″x width 27″

Canadian trio, Epi-Demic, is back with a vengeance. Following up their 2015 collaboration with fellow Canadian rockers Solanum, and their 2011 album Madess, Epi-Demic's new album Malformed Conscience will not leave metal lovers with much to be desired. If you're a fan of crossovers, you'll want to give Malformed Conscience a listen.
With a combination of chilling bass and guitar riffs and haunting lyrics of a conscience in turmoil, and rhythmic drum combos, Malformed Conscience starts to move you from the first chord. There is so much energy and a kind of groove in the tracks that you'll be hard pressed not to at least nod your head with the beat. Starting with the first track "Rotting in Plain Sight", you're just about lured to get up and dance, and then the breakdowns begin, so your mood changes and you are ready to jump in the circle pit.
The heavy doesn't stop there – it just keeps building. "Ruthless Ambition" is another track that will make you want to get up move – combining dirty beats with a Misfits-esque sound, this is one track you'll want to play over and over. If you're into bass, the track "Famine" is for you – showing off his talents, Kyle slays it in this one. And if you're into drums, well, "Famine" is for you too – Aaron dominates the beat. Epi-Demic starts to incorporate some collaborative vocals in the track "Sons of Dogs", bringing more of a dynamic to their sound. "Breaking Your Mind" brings a Tool/Dream Theater-esque type of beat into the mix, further showing the range of this talented trio.
Malformed Conscience is not simply a project which crosses over multiple genres, it crosses over with style and finesse. Malformed Conscience will not only inspire serious neck slinging, hair cyclones, and head banging, but will also trigger you to put on your dancing shoes in a span of mere moments. It is quite possible that you will want to break things, while shoulder shimmying, and quite honestly it doesn't get more metal than that!

Cat lovers looking to adopt a new feline friend — or even two — can do it for free from any of the county's animal shelters beginning today.
Called the "Fall in Love" promotion and timed to coincide with the first day of autumn, the county Department of Animal Services will offer hundreds of cats for adoption at no cost through Sunday.
The animals, which come in all shapes and sizes, have all been spayed or neutered, vaccinated and microchipped, according to county officials. A free veterinary exam is also included.
The cats are available at the county's three facilities, which are in Carlsbad, San Diego and Bonita.
Pictures and information about the available felines can be found here.
