Cape Town - The Sharks claimed a hard fought 18-13 victory over the Jaguares in a Super Rugby encounter played in Durban.
As it happened: Sharks v Jaguares
Cobus Reinach opened the scoring for the Sharks in the 5th minute after ripping the ball off a Jaguares attacker and sprinting over 50m to score in the right-hand corner. Curwin Bosch missed with his conversion attempt.
The Jaguares were soon on the scoreboard, however, thanks to two penalties by flyhalf, Nicolas Sanchez.
Although both sides continued to attack at every opportunity, it took until the 29th minute for more points to be added, again through the boot of Bosch who landed a penalty for the Sharks to lead 8-6.
The Sharks finished the half strongly and probably should have scored but a brilliant try-saving ankle tap by Jaguares lock, Matías Alemanno forced Bosch to lose control over the ball as he dived for the right-hand corner.
That was the last play of the half with the home side entering the break 8-6 up.
The Sharks opened the scoring in the second half with Andre Esterhuizen forcing his way over after a good bust up by Coenie Oosthuizen. Bosch converted to take the score out to 15-6.
Sanchez then received a yellow card for an early tackle on Inny Radebe in the 57th minute.
A man down, the Jaguares were next to score after captain, Agustín Creevy forced his way over from a ruck on the Sharks line.
The try was converted by Felipe Ezcurra to take the score to 15-13.
A massive Sharks scrum four minutes from time won the home side a penalty which Bosch stepped up to slot home to extend their lead to 18-13.
That's the way it stayed giving the Sharks very important victory over an in-form Jaguares.
Next week the Sharks have a bye while the Jaguares are off to Pretoria to face the Bulls.

Colorado Department of Transportation and Kiewit Infrastructure Co. will continue construction in the Big Thompson Canyon this winter with a full closure of US 34. Canyon residents will be issued access permits for travel at specified times each day.
Breaking News
Two found dead in Rocky Mountain National ParkJanuary 24, 2020 at 9:04 pm
US 34 to Close October 2 Winter full closure brings construction to the home stretch
As October nears, CDOT and Kiewit are working to finalize all the logistics of this large-scale closure, but there are some details that the local communities can plan for at this time.
Public meetings and permit distribution opportunities will be held Monday, Sept. 11, at Estes Park High School and Wednesday, Sept. 13, at Namaqua Elementary School in Loveland where more information will be available about upcoming work and the closure. Both meetings will take place from 5 to 8 p.m.
Information will also be posted to the project website in early September.
• The canyon will close from just east of mile point 66 (just east of Mall Road) to mile point 83 (the Dam Store) to through traffic on Monday, Oct. 2, and will re-open (weather dependent) just prior to the Memorial Day weekend 2018. During this closure, there will be several work zones spread out over about 12 miles of the canyon. As work progresses, sections of the road will be reopened, providing more flexible access to canyon residents.
• The work near the landslide at approximately mile points 72 to 74 (just west of Waltonia) will require a full closure for several months, with no access, even during the allowed travel times. Canyon residents headed to Estes Park will need to use CR 43, and all others without permits (including oversized vehicles) will need to use the US 36 detour. Once the work in this area is complete, canyon residents will be able to travel through this section of US 34 during the allowed travel times.
• During the closure, residents and property owners in the canyon will be allowed access with their permit each day from 6 to 8:30 a.m. and again from 4 to 7 p.m. (Monday – Thursday). Friday through Sunday, the afternoon open hours will be extended to 4 to 8 p.m. Additional information regarding comments from the last round of public meetings will be released as it is finalized, and at the upcoming public meetings.
• Permits will be distributed to canyon residents (all properties off of US 34 from the Dam Store to Mall Road, and on County Road 43 to Glen Haven). These permits, which will be broken up into different areas based on property location in the canyon, will be distributed at upcoming public meetings and during specified office hours. More information on these dates, times and locations will be released in the coming days.
• CDOT understands that canyon residents living within the closure boundaries will need access at times other than the morning and afternoon openings. With this in mind, the team has developed a plan to provide a Resident Scheduling Service (RSS). Separate from the permitting process, the RSS service will provide coordinated access in and out of the canyon, outside of the morning and afternoon openings, for residents living within the closure area. Step-by-step instructions for this service will be explained at the September public meetings.
• County Road 43 residents will be provided permits, but will not qualify for the Resident Scheduling Service because they do not live within the closure limits. These residents will always have access in and out of their home on CR 43 to US 36. Permits will be used to access to US 34 directly into Loveland during regular morning and night openings. • Due to the significant volume of commuters, CDOT determined through careful analysis that they will be unable to provide permits to commuters during this closure.
• When there are additional opportunities to open the canyon to resident travel or public travel, announcements will be made via the project website, email and the hotline recording. • All drivers can plan to access the canyon on Thanksgiving (Thursday, November, 23) and again from Saturday, Dec. 23, until Tuesday, Jan. 2. Pilot cars will direct traffic through the work areas, but permits will not be necessary. • Emergency responders, snow removal and Thompson Valley and Estes Park school buses will continue to receive priority access during the closure.
• CDOT is also working with the post offices, parcel delivery companies, and the various service providers that need to access the canyon to provide coordinated access during the full closure. Although the canyon will open prior to the Memorial Day weekend in 2018, there will still be traffic impacts for work such as asphalt paving and guardrail installation throughout the summer. Additional river restoration work, work on access bridges and other off-corridor work that has less impact on US 34 traffic will likely continue into the fall and winter of 2018.
PROJECT BACKGROUND: US 34 Big Thompson Canyon's roads and bridges were heavily damaged during the 2013 floods with many homes damaged and over 100 air lifted evacuations. The canyon and its residents also suffered from flooding in 1976. As a result of these two events, CDOT studied the hydraulic flow of the river in the canyon and its impact on the road and bridges along its path while looking for safety improvements and resiliency solutions to prevent/protect against future flood events.

Just as Cartier is renowned for its international chic, the same could be said for Sofia Coppola. This year, the award winning film director and discerning style icon will take on a new position as "friend" of the Maison. "I have always loved Cartier, it represents the height of beauty, heritage, craftsmanship and history," says Coppola. And the house of Cartier returns the compliment by referring to her "talent, creativity, style, distinctive vision and voice."
Many elements of Cartier appeal to Coppola. She admires the "sophisticated" designs for being "authentic" and "substantial." "Cartier does not overdo anything," she says. She is touched by the "romance and glamour of the history," particularly the 1940s and 1970s periods. "A great Cartier piece has its own story," she says. Coppola also notes the Clé de Cartier watch's sensuality. "There's something very sexy about the flash of the watch against the skin."
A keen Cartier client – "I love their designs," Coppola enthuses – her list of treasures include her wedding ring, a mini tank watch, bracelets such as the Menotte, the Nouvelle Vague, the Trinity and Love as well as a panther ring given by her husband. "Cartier is versatile," she opines. "They have everyday pieces and then they have beautiful creations for the evening." Of course, the same could be said for Coppola who defines gamine and chic whether sporting T-shirt, V-neck sweater and jeans on a film set or decked up in cocktail gear.

Bhubaneswar [India], June 6 (ANI): USA beat South Africa 2-0 in the opening match of the FIH Men's Series Finals at Kalinga Stadium here on Thursday.
The first game saw the African Champions, South Africa to take on United States of America. It was a great start of an event, an entertaining game which saw the USA registering the first three points of the tournament.
Both teams started at a high tempo. Just three minutes into the game, South Africa's Richard Pautz missed a big opportunity to open the scoring, just meters from the goal post. Gradually in the first quarter, the African champions put pressure on the USA side, while they were defending well and playing counter-attacks.
The pattern of play changed at the start of the second quarter with the American side displaying a more attacking style of play.
However, after a great save from a South Africa's goalkeeper Rassie Pieterse following a shot from Deegan Huisman. Just after that, South Africa had a huge opportunity with Nicolas Spooner's attempt hitting the goalpost. This seemed to give a further boost to the players who created multiple chances, through Nqobile Ntuli in particular as well as a series of consecutive penalty corners which they could not convert into a goal. The USA was struggling in the second part of that quarter.
Additionally, they had the misfortune to lose their captain Ajai Dhadwal through injury.The third quarter started similarly but USA's goalkeeper Jonathan Klages also nominated Man of the Match brilliantly kept his team in the game with three consecutive saves from as many penalty corners.
The USA was defending well and managed to produce interesting counter-attacks, therefore growing in confidence. The game was moving into a completely different direction and USA's Kei Kaeppeler came close to scoring the first goal of the tournament after a remarkably skilful piece of individual play.
USA's Christian De Angelis scored early in the final quarter, following a penalty corner. From then on, the Americans made every effort to control the game and continued to defend well against a South African team trying everything to reach a more favourable result. Instead of that, it was the USA who ensured their success with a second goal, from Paul Singh this time, shortly before the end of the match.
After awarded with Man of the Match, USA's goalkeeper Jonathan Klages said that he was very nervous before his first big tournament.
"To be honest, I was super nervous because this is my first big tournament, so I didn't know really what to expect. I was glad to help my team as much as I could. I cannot do without my team. So, thanks to my teammates, first of all !", Man of the Match Jonathan Klages, USA's goalkeeper, said.
In the quest of qualifying in Tokyo 2020 Olympics, eight teams from Asia, Europe, Africa, and North America are battling for top two positions, as only the top two teams will alotted Olympic qualifier quota.
Later on the day, Poland will take on Uzbekistan and India will play against Russia in Pool A encounters. (ANI)

We step into the shoes of a successful island stylist balancing motherhood, a production company and creating a coffee table book about Ibiza.
Renu Kashyap first arrived in Ibiza in 2012, seeking solace in the northern countryside of Ibiza to break a pattern of work life imbalance she had fallen into in Amsterdam as a fashion magazine director. Inspired by the island's lifestyle, freedom and bohemian beauty, she knew life could be lived at a much more laidback pace, and so she, her husband Bas and baby daughter Skye made the decision to call Ibiza home.
Fast forward to today and Renu balances multiple responsibilities – from motherhood (Skye is now six years old, chirping away in four languages) and her work as a stylist for international glossy magazines, to running a production agency, Caramba Productions and working as a personal stylist with high-end boutique hotels. On top of this, she's also in the middle of creating an all-new coffee table book about Ibiza – the 'dream come true' job she had been conceptualising for the past two years.
To an outsider, it looks like she has a lot on her plate. But in Ibiza, Renu is no longer the workaholic she was in Amsterdam. While she's extremely passionate about everything she juggles, she completely understands the value of 'me' time, cherishing family time and time spent with friends out and about amongst nature. There's no stress. "I do feel a responsibility to the island with this book," she admits. "I've got to make sure it feels real."
As yet untitled, the photography-based book is slated to be released in April 2017 by high end publishing house Assouline, and features a collection of the island's most authentic personalities, characters and style setters. "But it's not just about the style of the people, or the style of the island," explains Renu. "It's about capturing emotion. Authenticity. The images should touch you."
Scouting locations and meeting stylish people has become part of daily life for Renu – in a much different way to her city life – as she is exposed to people from all walks of life. From the bohemian to the jet set, the one thing they have in common is a free spirit. Fun, freedom and love are themes that run throughout.
Renu's own style is a mixture of the 1970's bohemia she fell in love with during her teenage years (found in her mother's wardrobe), and a crisp monochrome Parisian chic she has perfected more recently. "I don't really follow trends – I think I have my own signature now."
Skye too, is a mini-fashionista – with a stylist for a mother, she had very little choice! "Skye is a mini me. I like putting my own mini dresses on her, so they become long dresses, and sharing my coral and turquoise shell necklaces with her." It's clear island life suits both mama and daughter, as they glow with happiness and their bond is apparent.
When it comes to shopping in Ibiza, Renu sticks with a few select places – such as Belinda in San Carlos and Mayurka in Ibiza town – and relies on Net a Porter and trips to Amsterdam for her shopping fix. "I love shopping, but I wouldn't say I am a shopaholic," she says. "I believe in quality – not just with clothes, but with everything. Whether it's the food you're preparing, clothing, sunglasses or the products you use. It's so much more important than having a lot of stuff!"
Weekends are valuable family time, and by day, the trio frequent raw, beautiful places such as Punta Galera to relax, or go for walks in the countryside. "I do love sandy beaches too," says Renu. "Cala Vadella still reminds me of the 70s with all the boats, I love Cala Xuclar, we enjoy Salinas when it's not too busy and Aguas Blancas is my absolute favourite – the water, the sand, the rocks… it's all still so authentic."
Authenticity is a word that features heavily in Renu's vocabulary, as she constantly strives to seek out places that are still true to the island's original spirit. Cool one-off events, such as cave parties, events on yachts or private villa parties are the ones she saves herself for rather than going out all the time. "I'm picky," she says. "There are enough parties here to go to."
Given the nature of Ibiza villas dusty caminos and rocky grounds, Renu says high heels are no longer part of her island wardrobe ("Sandals are camino proof.") although Acid Sundays at Heart are one of her excuses to get dressed up. She finds appeal in casually elegant places that are off the tourist trail, such as La Mezcaleria in Dalt Vila and La Muella, in San Lorenzo, or laidback but high quality restaurants like Cicale and La Paloma.
Renu and her family also spend much time in their beautiful home, Casa Amore. Yoga on the rooftop and personal training in the beautiful grounds below are Renu's chance for 'me-time' while the tranquil roof offers her a space to reflect and indulge her creativity. It is the kitchen however, that she says, is her haven. "Food is so important," she explains. "Maybe it's my Asian background, but I like to take care of people and food really connects them. At home, we cook a lot, always very clean and healthy. But when I go out, I'm still addicted to French fries, chocolate desserts and cheese!"
To Renu, Ibiza will always be an island full of potential. "The nice thing about Ibiza is you will never know everything. I recently did a shoot in a property that had 5000 palm trees and it was like the tropics. It's so diverse." Seeking out that beauty and diversity is a never-ending journey. "I see beauty in so many things. I see beauty through the eyes of my daughter. I look around and it's everywhere."

Renu wears clothing from the White Ibiza SS16 collection, ultra wearable pieces that can go from day to night, beach to bar and holiday to home.

Jesse Lingard's England backlash after playing for Man United vs Wolves
Wolves 2 – Manchester United 1
Prior to the international break, Man United were knocked out the FA Cup at Wolves.
Goals from Raul Jimanez and Diogo Jota booked Wolves a spot in the semifinals.
Marcus Rashford scored a consolation for United.
Against Wolves, Jesse Lingard played 88 minutes of the match.
Prior to the FA Cup match, Lingard had been struggling with injury issues.
Jesse Lingard vs Gareth Southgate
In today's Sunday Times, Lingard is handed a warning about his place in the England setup.
The broadsheet reveals that Gareth Southgate wasn't best pleased with Lingard's involvement against Wolves, as the Man United star withdrew from joining up with the Three Lions. Readers are told:
Southgate was "surprised" by Lingard playing for Manchester United last Saturday, three days after indicating that he was not fit to be called up by England.
Southgate omitted him from a 25-man group only to see Lingard appear for United in their subsequent FA Cup tie away to Wolverhampton Wanderers last weekend.
After that match, Southgate spoke again to Lingard, who said he had been conscious of his injury while playing and needed a further period of training.

— Sunday Times Sport (@ST_Sport) March 24, 2019
One suspects that Lingard only finds himself in this position due to the kids coming through the ranks with the national team.
All of a sudden there's competition for places in England's attack.
While Harry Kane will always start as centre-forward, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Jadon Sancho are now alternatives to Rashford or Lingard.

Exam dates out
Ah. Ar5e.
MST209 – 18 October, 10am to 1pm (think that's a Tuesday).
M248 – 19 October, 10am to 1pm.
Just ar5e.
The requirement is now to carry around all the knowledge from a significantly overloaded 60 point calculus and mechanics course (which is more like 90 points) and a 30 point statistics course, and be tested on the whole lot in the space of 27 hours.
This news means I need to phone the OU tomorrow and look at the implications of suspending study of M248. Whether that results in course fail or course postponement, I have no idea. I'll also phone both course lecturers tomorrow and have a chat.

That is certainly a tough exam schedule. Pretty inconsiderate too in my opinion. Although 90 points is not that common, I really doubt that this is an unusual combination you've got!
I hope the OU were reasonable when you contacted them. I can't see who it would benefit to penalise you for postponing a course. There must be all kinds of legitimate reasons why someone has to pull out, including unmanageable exam schedules.
I was lucky to find, after I'd read this and dashed to my course pages to check, that I have a day's grace between mine at least. But even with that, I'm a bit worried!
Good luck!

Book Discussion
Fred Ginocchio will lead a discussion of two books that relate to each other. We recommend you read at least one of these powerful books so that the discussion is meaningful.
Book One, A Colony in a Nation, Chris Hayes
America likes to tell itself that it inhabits a post-racial world, yet nearly every empirical measure―wealth, unemployment, incarceration, school segregation―reveals that racial inequality has barely improved since 1968, when Richard Nixon became our first "law and order" president. With the clarity and originality that distinguished his prescient bestseller, Twilight of the Elites, Chris Hayes upends our national conversation on policing and democracy in a book of wide-ranging historical, social, and political analysis.
Hayes contends our country has fractured in two: the Colony and the Nation. In the Nation, we venerate the law. In the Colony, we obsess over order, fear trumps civil rights, and aggressive policing resembles occupation. A Colony in a Nation explains how a country founded on justice now looks like something uncomfortably close to a police state. How and why did Americans build a system where conditions in Ferguson and West Baltimore mirror those that sparked the American Revolution? (Amazon.com)
Book Two, Tears We Cannot Stop, Michael Eric Dyson
From the The New York Times: Tears We Cannot Stop is a lament, originating from within the grieving heart of black America, aimed directly at white readers who are often too frightened or ashamed to look a man like Michael Eric Dyson in the eyes. I can only hope that others will read and be changed by this book. It ends with a desperate plea for white Americans to rise up in defense of, and in solidarity with, our African-American brothers and sisters. In response, I say simply: Amen.

Here's a
I can't test this because music.google.com is not yet available in Europe, which is annoying to say the least, but theoretically iPhone people should, according to a Fast Company article, 'Just pop open your Safari browser, head to music.google.com, and hit Play. Voilà: Google Music on iOS. But that's not all. Safari on the iPhone has background privileges, meaning Google Music will continue to play even when Safari is minimized. All the controls — hitting Play or clicking Forward — work seamlessly (after the clunky process of hitting play) with Google Music, even the buttons on your iPhone headphones'.
Awesome. Beat that Apple.

I made this little pen and watercolour sketch of the view through the castle ramparts at a recent meeting of the Vejer Sketchers.

Corredera 55 – Business Cards
I had a lovely surprise during my recent visit to Vejer (after an absence of several months) – the fabulous people at the delightful Corredera 55 restaurant had updated their business card to include the pen and watercolour sketch I made of the restaurant facade back in 2016 (below).
I knew they were planning to change their business card, in fact I prepared the file for the printer some time ago, but seeing the dinky little versions of the original painting sitting there in the restaurant made me smile.
If you're lucky enough to visit Corredera 55 this summer I can highly recommend the baked sardines with sumac, damascan lemon, black olives and cherry tomatoes; a luscious oily concoction which melts in the mouth and goes down particularly well after the green gazpacho; a pea, mint, avocado and cucumber variation of the traditional Spanish cold summer soup.
Annie B's Food Map
The delightful Annie B of Spanish Kitchen fame recently asked me to paint her a map showing the eating and drinking delights of the area around Vejer de la Frontera, where we are both based.
Annie runs sherry tasting classes and cookery courses as well as tapas and wine tasting tours in Andalusia and Morocco. I made a food and drink themed sketch style painting for her a couple of years ago which she used as a Christmas card (right) and she had the idea to turn the food map into her Christmas card this year.
So the first stage of the map design was to work out the extent of the area which could be comfortably accommodated in the same card format.
I roughly sketched the map in coloured pencil (above) and then cropped it until Annie was happy with the layout; then we decided which food and drink elements would be represented and Annie gave me specific tips on how they should be shown. For instance the tuna fish needed yellow spines on their backs, the Retinto cow should be sitting on the beach and the Osborne sherry bull needed well defined 'cojones' (I'll leave you to google that if you're unsure of the meaning!).
At this stage I got the posh paper out (Arches 300g cold pressed watercolour), tore it to the correct size and taped it to a board before drawing the finalised map carefully in pencil (above).
Once I was happy with the outline I drew over it in water resistant pen (above) and added colour in layers of watercolour paint (below).
The final stage was to add a bit of multicoloured 'magic splatter' by tapping my loaded paintbrush all over the map which I find makes the texture more interesting as well as unifying the image (below and top).
The cards should be delivered next week, I'm really looking forward to popping in to Annie's to collect mine with a nice drop of sherry on the side!
I'm delighted to have finally found a chumbera (prickly pear) with some lush new growth; the once ubiquitous and beautiful cactus is suffering an infestation of insects and slowly dying out here in Andalusia.
Moi from the gorgeous Ecléctica Deco shop in Vejer suggested that I sketch a chumbera a good while ago; he told me he'd seen a good one in La Breña national park so I set off for a hike on a really hot day search of it…needle in a haystack situation ensued. His next sighting was luckily closer to home and much easier to find.
I missed it in flower but hey-ho…the heart shaped leaf was a bonus…promise it was actually like that!
View from a Cliff Top
This is a tale of a wild goose chase!
Sadly all the prickly pears are in Andalusia are dying because of an infestation of insects but someone told me that there was one still alive on the coastal path which runs through the natural park known locally as La Breña, a pine forrest which covers the area between Barbate, San Ambrosio and Los Caños de Meca in the province of Cádiz.
So I set off to find it and draw it…
It was a needle in a haystack situation!
I did however enjoy the spectacular views from the cliff top and sat up there in a howling wind for an hour or so to sketch this view out over the Atlantic to Atlantera. That´s Morocco in the background.
I have a new tip off for a live prickly pear which is closer to home…fingers crossed!
Corredera 55
I was delighted to be commissioned to paint a pen and watercolour sketch style 'portrait' of the facade of the beautiful Corredera 55 restaurant in Vejer de la Frontera.
I worked from photos as there was an element of surprise involved in the project.
First I roughed out the composition by making a preliminary sketch (right).
The bike is part of the exterior decor!
Then I made a more careful drawing in pencil on 300gsm watercolour paper with deckled (hand torn) edges which I retraced loosely in waterproof pen (below).
Next came the watercolour painting…
And here's the finished piece…(click on the image to enlarge)
With a couple of details singled out below…
If you're ever lucky enough to find yourself in Vejer at any time of year the Corredera 55 restaurant is well worth a visit.
The food is a clever and delicious blend of the homely, exotic, luxurious and healthy; the wine list is extensive and expertly composed; the staff are incredibly warm and hospitable while at the same time being efficient and savvy; the outside terrace is sunny, shady and breezy with wonderful views over the surrounding countryside (Vejer's perched on top of a steep hill, 200m above sea level); the interior is cosy and gorgeously crafted from reclaimed materials (by Retro Nuevo) and houses an extensive collection of Vejer themed paintings by local artists.
As the sign says Comer – Amar – Vivir = Eat – Love – Live
This is a delightful place full of loving touches.
Autumn Sketches
The pen and watercolour sketch to the left was my first of the autumn season, having been invited to see the sherry grape harvest in the the Faustino González vineyard just outside Jerez.
The grape pickers moved too fast for me to capture with my painting hands!
The sketch on the right is of one of the old town gates in Vejer de la Frontera, you can see one of my fellow sketchers on the left.
The last sketch in this trio is of the Roman aquaduct in the beautiful village of Santa Lucia.
CD Cover: Mr Groovy and the Blue Heads – Somos Más
Mr Groovy and the Blue Heads are a band of hugely talented and versatile musicians, one of the best on the Spanish rhythm and blues scene.
As well as revisiting classic blues themes and interpreting the music of more recent artists (such as Lloyd Jones, Los Deltonos and Vaughan Brothers), they play their own compositions, offering a rollicking live show to lovers of the blues in all its variations.
Back in 2012 Mr Groovy and the Blue Heads commissioned me to design the cover for their excellent third album 'Jauja', so I was flattered to be asked to do the same for their latest release 'Somos Más' which celebrates their 10th birthday.
Mr Groovy and the Blue Heads are almost constantly on the road, which is what inspired me to suggest a tour bus for the CD cover. There are now several more 'Blue Heads' amongst their number, mostly woodwind and brass players, which is why they chose the title 'Somos Más' (meaning 'there are more of us'). It's also a nod to the growing number of people who are disillusioned by a corrupt political system which creates and perpetuates austerity.
The rough sketch above helped me to decide on the layout for the front cover which I then redrew carefully in pencil onto fine grained watercolour paper, followed by water resistant pen (below).
The landscape depicted in the background is typically Andalusian, it's inspired by the view from my studio.
I used pencils to colour in a photocopy of the finished pen drawing as a trial and then applied colour to the actual drawing with watercolour paints. It's a traditional and time consuming method but I love the warmth that hand painted textures impart to an image.
I scanned the finished painting into Photoshop where I added the text, taking the same hand drawn text style for the band name that I had made for the Jauja cover. I also replaced the white border with a black one (below).
And then on to the back cover…which had to be the back of the bus!
The scene in the background is inspired by the bamboo fringed sand dunes of the Atlantic coast where we live, dotted with bright flowering succulents in the spring.
I worked from my rough sketch (above) in the same way as I had for the front cover, just changing the layout to make space for the track list.
That's Mr Groovy playing his harmonica in the back of the bus (below)
Having scanned the painting into Photoshop I added the text and digitally collaged the CD covers from the band's three previous albums and the sea and sky which I had painted separately.
Mr Groovy and the Blue Heads are working non-stop for the imminent release of Somos Más which promises to be a superb mix of swing, funk, blues and second line.
Don't miss it!

Breakfast was potatoes and rice, ate the potatoes, skipped the rice. Didn't
sleep that well and I am counting the days left in the tent. (6)
I always feel like we don't get that much done while we are here. The days
are so short and I seem to fall asleep so early. This is likely due to the
poor sleeping conditions. The other Mark snores so loud that I can't
imagine how a spouse could handle it. One of the drivers also snores but he
is a bit farther away. Aron has a chronic cough that will go on for an hour
when he first lays down and sometimes during the night. The humidity still
bothers me at night, it was cool enough in the 60s, but I always feel
sticky. Washing your face would make it feel better, but the water isn't
clean so that isn't a good Idea so I used a baby wipe instead.
The jungle noises aren't bad except if you count the chickens that start up
at 3:30am. There are rats everywhere, but they are more like big mice and
you do hear them on the roofs and in the walls. I have seen several of them
within 5 to 10 feet or so. There were some in the wall last night while we
were working.
The more I think about problems here the more I feel they are not the
technical ones. Getting the locals to take ownership of the systems after
installation seems to be a big problem. It seems they would rather wait
until we come back to fix the problems than just fix them. They have
individuals that are sharp enough to do it. Some of it is a money problem,
nobody wants to pay taxes.
The food has improved somewhat but I think I still will loose a few pounds.
Not much dairy either. Breakfast this morning was fried potato slices on
rice. I followed that up with a granola bar. Was going to take a shower
last night, but decided to wait until this afternoon. Too many spiders in
the showers to do that at night. The views at night are something I wish
you could see. The moon is way passed full, but you can see very well by
it. Even with a bit of fog in the air, you can see one of the mountains in
the distance with the fog in the valley, all by moonlight. When it clears a
bit, the stars are hard to describe.
There is as always dirt everywhere. Hard to keep anything clean. I have
worn the same pants throughout the trip so far and might just wash the legs
this afternoon if the sun is strong.
We have meetings at 3 of the schools today, I don't think we will get any
actual work done.
First two meetings went ok, at the second one, they wanted to run an inverter.
Lunch was carrots, beans, and rice. I was hungry so I ate it all. Meeting
at 2:00 was a school that is on the low end of the poverty side. They get
lights next year. Back at Kafs. Swella attempted to get a gram of river
gold, but they didn't have any. I took a shower and texted with Antje.
Washed just the legs of the pants.

Blackpool's District Judge has refused to step down and leave the case of two men accused of harassing Blackpool FC chairman, Karl Oyston.
District Judge Jeff Brailsford dismissed in public any suggestion that he was biased.
He also dismissed an application by one defence lawyer that the case be moved out of Blackpool.
A further application that the defendants Stephen Reed and David Ragozzino go on trial separately was thrown out at the hearing at Blackpool Magistrates Court.
Proceedings were adjourned until January 6 next year when Judge Brailsford asked for details of 40 defence witnesses to be handed to him so plans for the full hearing can be made.
Rejecting the applications by Paul Robinson who acts for 33-year-old Ragozzino of Oakwood Close, Marton, the judge said: "The idea that there is any bias by me is fanciful in the extreme.
"I have never been to Bloomfield Road in my life. I do not know anyone in the Oyston family and the last time I saw Blackpool FC play was when Stanley Matthews was in the team."
Mr Robinson said the defendants felt that the police had manipulated the court by getting the case before a District Judge on a certain day.
He said: "There is suggestion that the Oyston family have been using their power and influence with the police."
But e-mail evidence produced in court revealed this was not true.
The judge added: "I have no connection with Blackpool. I do not live in the town. I am merely the judge allocated to the town."
Neil White, prosecuting, said he wanted to confirm to Ragozzino and Reed, 58, of Common Edge Road, Marton, that the prosecution team had no connections with the Oyston family.
He said: "It is not true to say anyone is in the pocket of the Oystons."
Both men are accused of harassment by sending a barrage of allegedly offensive e-mails and texts to Karl Oyston earlier this year.
They are also accused of preparing an offensive e-mail to be sent to Oyston's wife, Victoria.
Both men are currently on bail.

I thank God that I speak in tongues more than any of you. I Cor. 14:8
The topic of speaking in tongues is a controversial one. Different churches have various beliefs concerning it. One thing is clear however, the Apostle Paul, who wrote this verse, was glad that he spoke in tongues. Evidently it was an important part of his spiritual life. Yes, the gift can be abused and misused. It's use is to be regulated in the church. But nevertheless, it is a gift from God that apparently Paul valued very highly. He even encouraged it's use for others. So how about you? Is speaking in tongues a vital part of your prayer life?

Sen. Elizabeth Warren has now introduced legislation to cancel most student debt in America, matching a proposal she's made as a presidential candidate. Sen. Bernie Sanders, also running for president, would go even further by canceling all student debt, regardless of how wealthy the student is.
Like most something-for-nothing ideas, canceling student debt sounds better than it is. Here are four problems with the plan:
It only works if a college education is free. Canceling student debt once wouldn't make sense if a new generation of students came along and started wracking up debt all over again. That's why the Warren and Sanders plans both include free college at public universities for anybody who wants it. In Warren's plan, canceling up to $50,000 in student debt for about 42 million people would come at a one-time cost of $640 billion, almost equal to the entire defense budget for a year. Free college would cost an additional $62 billion per year on top of that, or about $1.3 trillion over a decade. The Sanders plan would cancel all $1.6 trillion in student debt, for a total 10-year cost of $2.2 trillion, including free college. This is a lot of money, even by Washington standards, and might generate a better return, with less disruption, if used to fund infrastructure development, education improvements, expanded pre-K or universal child care.
Free college would mess up higher ed. If tuition were free, more people would go to school, which would be a good thing if people who wouldn't otherwise attend college ended up getting degrees. But a flood of new students would strain the capacity of public universities, which in turn would push more people toward private schools—where tuition and other costs would skyrocket, on account of the new demand. Private-school tuition is already rising by way more than inflation or income, straining middle-class budgets. This would worsen. Any plan that didn't account for such unintended consequences would end up screwing families that earn too much to qualify for free college but lack the cash to pay steep private-school tuition.
It would be generationally unfair. If you graduated with student debt the same year a debt-cancellation plan went into effect, you'd be delighted because nearly the whole tab would be wiped out. If you were five or 10 years into paying off your college loans, you'd only get partial cancellation and might feel a bit cheated. And if you made your last student-loan payment before a cancellation plan went into effect, you'd get no benefit. It's not always possible to spread the benefit of new programs equally, but spreading them very unequally makes voters resentful and undermines public support for the plan. See: Obamacare.
Why just student loans? If you can make a case for forgiving student loans people take out willingly, you could make the same case for forgiving federally backed loans for small businesses, first-time home buyers, veterans and farmers. Why favor college graduates over everybody else? Other than buying their votes, that is? Oh. Maybe that's the whole point.

Grumpy doctors harm patients, whistleblowing champion says
NHS employees must be more positive at work because grumpiness can harm patients and contribute to a "toxic environment", the new whistleblowing chief has said.
Henrietta Hughes called on "every single person" in the health service to make it a happier place of work as she urged staff to "start living…the NHS that they want to work in".
Dr Hughes, a GP, said the NHS needs more of the "trust and joy and love" hormone oxytocin, as she recalled the scene of families embracing each other when they are reunited at the beginning of the film Love Actually.
"If you think about that scene in Love Actually where everybody is meeting at the airport, that's the oxytocin feeling," she told The Times.
"So wouldn't it be better if oxytocin was the predominant neurotransmitter in the NHS?" Dr Hughes has been criticised by whistleblowers for her "utopian" approach, saying that staff would not be safe to speak out against wrongdoing until NHS chiefs were held to account.
The national guardian role was created following a review by Sir Robert Francis into the treatment of NHS whistleblowers, called Freedom to Speak Up.
Sir Robert warned of a culture of "fear, bullying and ostracisation" within the NHS that punished doctors and nurses who exposed failings.
He said whistleblowers were derided as "snitches, troublemakers and backstabbers".
In March the NHS' first national guardian Dame Eileen Sills resigned after just two months, saying she could not combine the role with her other job as chief nurse.

Last chance to cancel!!!
It's 6 working days since my activation date. Up until two or three days ago, everything was fine and I was well impressed with the speed of my new connection. Then I noticed that I wasn't able to get onto certain websites and the speed dropped right down at times. The speed thing I understand and can cope with. The access thing I think is TOTALLY unacceptable.
The technical help was absolutely no help whatsoever, after doing all the obviously-not-going-to-help deleting of temporary internet files, history etc, resetting security levels and other such guff, they asked for a list of websites that i couldn't access and suggested that they might be down (what, ALL of them!!??) Anyway, I'm starting to regret switching from my old provider (orange) as I had no such trouble with them. Although it was £17.99 a month, I can see you get what you pay for now.
Reading my contract, it seems I have 8 days to cancel from my activation date - this gives me until Tuesday this week (2 days time)! What I want to know is, are the access issues going to get sorted out any time soon? We use ebay loads in this house and my name will be mud if I don't maintain access to it, to give one example, but access has been non-existent to more websites than I can remember, to be honest.
I need advice quick people! cancel or not???

tbh nope dont cancel, give them a bit of time, plenty of people on here to help you
your call
~ Never, ever, argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience ~
Follow us on Twitter @skyuser
I wouldn't cancel, when I joined up I couldn't access quite a few sites either but slowly Sky (or the hosting companies) are getting around to sorting this problem out.
I've saved an absolute bundle of cash which can go to more pressing needs by signing up with sky and the only problem I have is my high ping which I'm hoping to get sorted if tier 3 ever ring me back (4 days now)
But overall, for a new internet company I'm well pleased with the way things are and will move to.
People will complain, it's natural to complain especially for the british lol, but, not very many praise do they ?
I was one of the people that had to wait an extra week for the router but I waited and now I get the same speeds for £5 as I was getting for £25 per month...
I wish more satisfied customers would post on here, but they don't do they ...When things are working well we tend not to mention it.....
There are plenty of established ISP's out there and if you want to pay the money then go there, personally I'll stay here cos I'm sick of being charged a small fortune by these complete robbers when we all know broadband should be affordable to the masses. In the USA it's peanuts for a decent speed.
You choose bud
Welcome to the site Colin
At the end of the day only you can decide that but I have to agree with the other posters and say that day by day things seem to improve and SkyBB are gradually getting to grips with problems.

So I think I've decided to stay with Sky BB. I'm sure in the end they'll take over the internet in the same way they have the telly!
Anyway, it seems that the website access problem is not universal. Also some people can get onto sites that others cannot. My main problem sites are play.com and ebay, but I've seen posts on this site and others where people can get onto these sites. Does anybody have any idea why this is? Surely if it is due to Sky's server or whatever being located in Holland then everyone would be affected?
I'm no techie but I think I'll have a fiddle with the router tonight - saw a post on here (in the main website access thread) about changing the MTU figure or something. Who knows, it might work. If it does I'll let people know!
I also saw a comment that sky BB tech support was in Scotland - but last night when I was on with them twice, one of the blokes (both clearly indian) asked me what time it was here. Now correct me if I'm wrong but aren't Scotland in the same time zone as us???
The second time it was a terrible line and I could hardly hear them, but I knew what they were saying - delete temporary internet files, history, blah blah blah....
i felt like u at 1 point i still do, im over the 10 days of canceling
its close to 2 weeks now for me but im gonna stick it out abit longer
nout as changedfpr me, i still cant view 50% of the sites i want to view, nore can i play most of my mmorpgs online yet, im not a very happy person right now with sky. im still thinking of leaving if they havent it sorted soon.
but im sure they will sort it. the sooner the better really for all the customers on the 90.193 and 90.194 ip range

Not that it will change anything, but how do I check what IP range I'm on?
I fully expect to now be told to look at a sticky somewhere, just too lazy to find it myself! (And my wife will kill me if I spend all night reading forums AGAIN!)
u can use a site like
that should show what ip ur on, if u cant view it let me know and i will find u another 1
u can also login to ur router to find out ur net ip as well
via http://192.168.0.1/ id: admin pass: sky
and it should show ur net statusMotto - "Vis unita fortior"

The problem has been solved by doing a system update. I was able to update the system all the was from 7.5.2 to 11.0.1. If you try to upgrade from 7.5.2 to 7.6.2 instead of 7.6.1 then you might run into problems. So try upgrading to 7.6.1 instead. Seems that in the 7.0.0 series that it didn't like to skip releases in the upgrade path. Once I was able to get to 8.x.x then I could go full iteration upgrades. Like from full 8, to full 9, to 10, to 11. Each subsequent upgrade on my network speed took about 20 minutes. The download part wasn't the lengthy part. The reboot was the lengthy part. Good luck with your upgrades!

The Sixth Annual FAR-West Conference was held in Santa Clara, California at the Convention Center and the Hyatt Regency Santa Clara, October 21-24, 2010.
It was shared by more than 325 participants, and probably 400 or more people passing through various conference events. Conference director Bev Barnett did a stellar job of keeping everything on track, despite being forced to change the venue a couple of months out.
We kicked things off with a public Thursday night Celebration Concert of local acts Blame Sally, Houston Jones, Kathy & Carol, and performing MCs Caren Armstrong and Stevie Coyle.
Friday began the many workshops and panel discussions, including Paul Barker's invaluable "getting the most out of the conference" presentation. Evening performances included official, juried showcases, and guerilla showcases in hotel meeting and sleeping rooms which ran into the wee hours, one of the distinctive and delightful aspects of these conferences.
At our Saturday luncheon, the sixth annual Best of the West awards were presented to long-time festival director Cloud Moss and Nitty Gritty Dirt Band founder John McEuen. Freebo led a particularly moving tribute to Chuck McCabe and Kenny Edwards, who passed away earlier in the year, and (with Dan Navarro and Julie Christenson) a great mass singing of "Happy Birthday" by telephone to Eric Lowen. Once again, the BOTW luncheon was, for most of us, the emotional high point of the conference.

Former WWE star Brian Christopher had another run-in with the law — this time because he couldn't pay for a hotel room.
According to the ABC affiliate in Memphis, police arrested one half of Too Cool when he couldn't cover the cost of an $800 hotel bill. Christopher told the manager he was using a company credit card. However, the card was declined.
Christopher, real name Brian Lawler, is the son of WWE Hall of Famer Jerry Lawler. Brian and an another individual were charged theft of services $1000 or less.
As you may recall, Christopher was involved in a bloody brawl earlier this year with ex-TNA star Chase Stevens. Brian was beaten so badly during the incident he had to undergo surgery.
The wrestler is currently still behind bars.

Human Settlements researcher, Esther Msindo says the demand for RDP houses continues to grow, but the supply from the government is slow, with Gauteng experiencing the highest backlog, followed by KwaZulu- Natal.
She says among the many other issues for the department not using up the R150 million, is one, a lack of understanding of the budget allocated to housing and two, the houses not being to the correct standard.
This demand is due to urban migration, not only rural migration. The population grows in most of the metropolitan areas. More than R3 million houses have been delivered to the poor, but the backlog continues because of this high demand.— Esther Msindo, Human Settlements Researcher
Msindo says since 1994 the government has done its best to give free housing to the needy.
Listen to Msindo explaining the challenges as to why the full allocated budget was not used:

Terminal Warehouse
New York, NY
- 1,200,000 rentable sf
- Unrealized
Terminal Warehouse is a 1.2 million square foot iconic brick-and-beam property located in West Chelsea overlooking the Highline Park and Hudson Yards mega-development. The historic property was built between 1891 and 1902 serving originally as a storehouse for the New York Central Railroad. The full-block building, bounded by the 11th and 12th Avenues and West 27th and West 28th Streets, opened in 1891 and once was open to trains transporting freight for large and small merchants. Long after Chelsea's industrial days, The Tunnel nightclub opened in the building's brick-walled arcade in the mid-1980s and lasted more than a decade. Today, the connected sections that make up Terminal Warehouse are now home to Uber Technologies, Inc., L'Oreal USA and architectural firm Grimshaw.
Normandy plans to invest a significant amount of capital into extensively redeveloping the property by improving its interiors and exterior and by accentuating its historic features and adding modern touches. About 500,000 square feet of the building that is now used for storage will likely be converted for other uses such as offices.

I tell a lot of people that I take anti depressants because I have depression and PTSD. I do not feel like there is anything that I should be ashamed of because it did not all feel like something that I was supposed to be ashamed of. I was told by my mom and my dad that we were going to have to go and look to buy Diazepam with Paypal online because they did not want me to go to the local pharmacy. If I went to the local place where we all have our medications filled then it was going to be a problem because it was going to be out there that I was taking a medication that was for my mood. My mom and my dad would not say certain things out loud because I think they thought that it would be too real for them. I did not blame them but I thought that it was really weird to show people that they whispered when they did not want to say something out loud.
My family was the only group of people who said that they were going to be happy after they went and got me off the medications that were making me feel better. I could not believe how different it was for me to go and talk to my friend's parents who were asking me questions about my new medication and how it was making me feel after I got it off the internet. I was really happy that I had them to ask me questions since my own parents were not ready to talk to me about it. I was happy to know that they were so happy to see all the different things that it was doing for me to make my life better.

Ozone Medical Therapy in Animals
An article by Drs Gerry Buchoff and Judith Shoemaker
American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association
Ozone therapy has been utilized and heavily studied for 150 years. Its effects are proven, consistent, and safe for use in pets. Used to treat infections, wounds, and multiple diseases, ozone's effectiveness has been well documented. The Florida Medical Association published a text by Charles J. Kenworth, MD on medical ozone therapy in 1885! Heads of leading medical institutions in the U.S. contributed to a 1929 book "Ozone and its Therapeutic Actions" describing the treatment of 114 diseases using ozone.
In 1933, the American Medical Association began its systematic suppression of all modalities of treatment that did not complement its liaison with the emerging pharmacologic and diagnostic industries, and ozone therapy along with many other useful therapies were methodically eliminated from the educational process and exposure to the public in the U.S. Less suppression has occurred in Europe and other countries, especially in Russia. Today in Germany and other countries, ozone therapy is commonplace. Over 7000 doctors in Germany use it daily.
The physiologic actions of ozone are many, the simplest of which is to provide sufficient oxygen to allow complete oxidation of sugars and other fuels to produce sufficient energy and to "burn clean" to CO2, water, and inert end products. If not enough oxygen is available, then incomplete oxidation occurs, producing carbon monoxide, lactic acid, and partially oxidized toxins that inhibit further oxygen metabolism and clog the system, tying up hemoglobin, water, and the mechanisms for function and elimination. In all animals it serves as an anticancer, antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal agent. Ozone is unsurpassed, especially since there are no appreciable side effects.
Ozone has been found to be an extremely safe medical therapy for pets, free from side effects other than respiratory irritation which clears up with a dose of Vitamin C. Ozone treatment is safe because healthy cells are surrounded by an enzyme coating, which ozone does not penetrate. Bacteria and viruses have no such coatings and are oxidized on contact with ozone. Ozone also promotes the production of glutathione peroxidase, catalase, reductase, and super-oxide dismutase, which are the enzymes forming the cell wall coating and, therefore, cellular immunity is enhanced.
Oxygenation. Oxygen deficiency is key to the development and progression of all disease processes. Doctor Otto Warburg's work, confirmed by many others, shows that this deficit and subsequent toxin buildup is the fundamental cause of all degenerative disease.
Detoxification. Ozone potentiates free radical scavenging substances and systems in the body, inducing the production of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase. Antioxidants help the body to protect itself from excessive oxidative damage caused by multiple free radicals, many of which are deactivated by ozone. The support of free radical scavenging systems is important but only oxygen can improve the deficit that makes cells vulnerable to oxidative damage in the first place. Long-term ozone therapy can be augmented by supplementation with antioxidants, but normally they should not be administered within 4 to 12 hours of ozone therapies.
Supportive of other treatments, ozone potentiates complete oxidation and helps to maintain more normal body temperature and increases the effects of most hormones, vitamins, herbs, homeopathics, and drugs. Concurrent ozone administration reduces the amount of chemotherapeutic drugs needed to achieve the effect by ¼ to ¾. It complements chelation therapies and frequently improves the effect and sense of well-being in patients. Also, ozone therapy facilitates the rapid resolution of healing crises in pets started by other treatments.
Administration can be through any route with modifications:
Direct IV infusion – Ozone slowly administered into a major vessel. Oxygen/ozone mixtures cannot cause emboli when injected at reasonable rates as they dissolve and diffuse very quickly in body fluids.
Major autohemotherapy – Anticoagulated blood is mixed with ozone and is infused into a vessel.
- Rectal/vaginal insufflation – Humidified ozone is administered by catheter.
- Minor autohemotherapy – Blood mixed with ozone is injected intramuscularly.
- Limb or body bagging – Body or parts are bathed in humidified ozone.
- Ozonated water – Dissolves easily in water to be used topically or consumed.
- Ozone in Saline or LRS – Can be used topically or given IV or SQ.
- Intra-articular administration – For joint healing and prolotherapy.
- Prolo/Sclerotherapy (in joints) – Very good, less painful than other agents.
- Acupuncture – With ozone more effective than B12, bubbled through oil until congealed.
- Ozonated olive oil is applied topically even to eyes.
- Inhalation: ozone is bubbled through olive oil to be inspired.
- Subconjunctival injection – For ulcers and keratitis sicca.
- Gingival and tooth apex injection – Can eliminate the infection.
- Urinary bladder insufflation – For chronic inflammation.
- Disc protrusions – Prolotherapy at interspinous space and around facets stabilize joints and accelerate healing.
- Auricular – Can be direct, humidified, or bagged with a homemade device made from IV bags and tubing.
Few Contraindications
Most physicians caution against the use of ozone therapy in pets in the following conditions:
- After recent heart attack
- Pregnancy
- Recent internal bleeding including menses
- Hyperthyroidism
- Cramping or spasms
- Thrombocytopenia
- Alcoholic intoxication
- Allergy to ozone

Consuming Passion |
Grand Rapids High School student, Mackenzie Jaranson, 15, has discovered the stage and there is no turning back.
"After school, I come here (The Reif) and walk onto the stage with no one else around," Jaranson said. "And it feels like my happy place. I just breathe it in. The Reif is amazing!"
Jaranson is in the ensemble, (chorus actors) in the Lion King, Jr. show, on stage March 16-18. It is her third production with the Theater Education Program led by local actor and director Jim Cagle. The program not only puts on top-notch productions for the community, its aim is to train people to explore all aspects of the theater.
It hit a bullseye with Jaranson. Although she loves acting, (she played a speaking part in the Little Mermaid show in Spring 2017), she aspires to do stage management or production assistant as a career.
"I got a taste of stage management in Suessified Christmas, (the winter show put on by the Theater Education students) and it strengthened my leadership and time management ability," Jaranson said. "Most of the actors were older than me and I had to step up and take control but also be patient. I loved it."
Feels like family
Jaranson says that when she started last year in the newly developed education program, a joint effort of The Reif and Grand Rapids Players, she only knew one person, Moriah Alger. Alger is playing Rafiki in the Lion King, Jr. show. Alger was the one who coaxed Jaranson to join the program.
"I didn't want to go alone," Alger said. Now both girls have continued to enroll with each opportunity. Making friends and challenging themselves is the highlight of their experience.
The influence of peers is exactly why so many kids have joined the shows. That was certainly the case for new-comer Aaron McMullen, 8, whose eyes were opened to possibilities when he helped his dad move set props behind the scenes in Little Mermaid.
"My dad was running the curtains and asked me to come along," McMullen said. "I got to move a rock out on the stage at different times."
McMullen said he overheard the kid-actors talking about the fact that they knew their lines and everyone else's so well they could even switch parts.
"But they didn't do it," McMullen conceded. "But I thought that I'd like to be part of this too."
As an ensemble member, McMullen doesn't have a main speaking role this time but that is his goal. Considering he has had experience last year, "At my school as an Elvis impersonator."
All three students lauded how much they are learning, from expressions, movement and stage blocking to working through stage fright. In the end, they agree on their favorite part. They love the exhilaration of being on stage and hearing the applause, being in the spotlight.
"When I'm out there taking a bow," said Jaranson. "I'm all out of breath like I just crossed the finish line from a marathon. I'm hooked."
Lion King, Jr. is on stage at the Wilcox Theater Friday, March 16 through Sunday, March 18. More than 50 students round out the cast and crew.

Weather: snowing, 4 inches on the ground and more in the sky
Today the world minorly blew up at work and we had to get a little (heavy) box of parts from my facility to a vendor so they could set up for the weekend. In the end it was me, in my car, driving the box to hand deliver so a pleasant field trip. However, it is snowing. The way there was fine but coming back was a blizzard and I decided to stop at home (on the way) since I would probably take 45 min in the snow to get to work to leave about 25 min later so I'm at home, hooked up, and working. They have a great system for logging in from remote locations, basically idiot proof.
So from inside, the snow looks great. Nice, fluffy white snow all over everything. I suppose I should shovel or we might never leave the house again. I'm sure poor Lars is sitting in traffic trying to get home in the Saturn and I had the good snow car.
The 2 sad things about not going back to work when I planned on going is that
1. I left my bag there including my book 😦
2. I left my frozen lunch in a drawer so by Monday I should have a science project…
