"All people are welcome to become members of YACHT" -YACHT mission statement
To help facilitate your YACHT membership, the band/belief-system/business is offering instrumental versions of their new album, See Mystery Lights, here on the Free Music Archive. The album was released earlier this summer on DFA Records, and it's the clearest incarnation of YACHT's all-encompassing vision to date. See Mystery Lights takes the experimental electronic pop of 2007's I Believe In You, Your Magic Is Real (Marriage Records) to new realms -- specifically, to Marfa Texas, where YACHT founder Jona Bechtolt and new member Claire Evans drew inspiration from Marfa's mystery lights.
We learned about all this back in July, when WFMU DJ Trent invited YACHT out to a remote broadcast from The Waterpod. This sustainable boat habitat docked at 125th Street on the dark waters of the Hudson River was the perfect venue for YACHT (pictured above). Claire and Jona led their fellow waterpod inhabitants (including WFMU listeners and friends from Solar1) in a series of mantras that form the core of See Mystery Lights.
YACHT create music that encourages you to join-in, to sing along, dance, or download it and make your own karaoke music-video remix. Along with the newly released See Mystery Lights instrumentals, YACHT shares instrumentals of Jona's earlier solo work, plus the beats he made during his stint as 1/2 of The Blow, over at teamyacht. While you're there, be sure to check out YACHT's Nirvana-mashing split with Lucky Dragons, and for-sale items mixed in with the freeloads. Oh and one more thing: States Rights released this mixtape of music that subconsciously inspired See Mystery Lights

Tipsy Palmer: The Ultimate Summer Cocktail
My first job in high school was working the counter at a slice joint in the suburbs of Chicago. I made minimum wage, but much to my adolescent delight, part of my daily allowance included two free pieces of pizza and a soda. I've never been much of a soda fan, so I instead I guzzled canned Arnold Palmers—a 50/50 mix of iced tea and lemonade, named for the legendary golf master.
As I got older, my palate matured (slightly), and I started drinking bourbon. On the rocks is my go-to in colder months, but during summer barbecue season, when everyone else is nursing an icy beer (which, like soda, I rarely drink), I feel out of place with a glass of straight hard spirit. I wanted something light and refreshing to use as a mixer, with a little sweetness to match the easy summer vibes. The answer was simple: an Arnold Palmer.
Spiked with bourbon, the Arnold Palmer becomes a Tipsy Palmer, my favorite summer cocktail. It works just as well for one as it does for a crowd, functioning as a sort of low-labor punch alternative. The sweet, citrusy tea-lemonade combo mellows the alcoholic flavor in bourbon, making a smooth-drinking cocktail that'll convert even those who claim not to like the brown stuff.
If I'm entertaining, I'll make a big batch with fresh-squeezed lemonade and bracing black tea, but I've also picked up many a bottle of pre-made lemonade and iced tea (usually black, sometimes black and green) on my way to other parties. Garnished with a fresh lemon wedge and served in a Collins glass on ice, the Tipsy Palmer tastes to me like endless summer.

In his many years as a mixed martial arts fighter, Brock Lesnar rose to the top to become the UFC Heavyweight Champion. He's used kicks, punches and locks to pummel his opponents but it could be a combination of illnesses that might end his career and force the six-foot-three 265-pounder into submission.
The rumors started flying almost a week ago, when UFC President Dana White made an ominous announcement following the Ultimate Fighting Championship 105 event.
"[Lesnar's] in a hospital up in North Dakota somewhere right now. He went to Canada and some bad stuff happened to him, so we've got to figure it out," White said. "He's in bad shape. He's not well and he's not going to be getting well anytime soon."
U.S. & World
The internet was soon abuzz with speculation on what, exactly, Lesnar's condition was. Some read into White's comments and determined the fighter had HIV or cancer but those fears were quickly dispelled when White let the cat out of the bag and told TMZ.com that wasn't the case. It turns out Lesnar was actually suffering from a serious intestinal disorder in addition to mononucleosis, a bacterial infection.
His symptoms made him too weak to train for upcoming fights and twice UFC Heavyweight Title fights had to be postponed.
"He had a hole in his intestine," White told Yahoo. "The (stuff) was leaking into his stomach. That's what was causing him so much pain."
After undergoing "minor surgery" on Nov. 17, Lesnar's prognosis seemed to be much more positive.
"He's at home now, much better than he was," Greg Nelson, Lesnar's coach, told the CP. "He was in a lot of pain, obviously dealing with a lot of different medicines dealing not only with the pain but also for the infection."
Even one of Lesnar's fiercest opponents, Shane Carwin, leant his support to the reigning champion.
"I am sure most of you know I am not the leader of the Lesnar Fan Club," Carwin wrote on the MMA Underground forum. "That being said ... he is our UFC heavyweight champion. He beat a future Hall of Famer to keep that belt and he NEEDS our prayers and good thoughts right now."
Carwin is set to face off against Lesnar for the UFC Heavyweight Championship if, or when, he makes his return to the cage.
Larry Novotny, Lesnar's friend and chiropractor, told the AP that Lesnar would not make any decisions about his career until his health has improved.

SOWN is a community organisation working to restore the habitats of creeks and waterways in the catchments of Enoggera, Ithaca and Fish Creeks in Brisbane's north and west.
The creeks draining this part of the Enoggera Catchment are over 23 kms in length and feed into Breakfast Creek.
The project promotes an integrated catchment management approach to priority areas identified in the Brisbane City Council's Waterways Strategy, in association with communities and local authorities.
While some of the creek system is being rehabilitated, a great deal of work will be needed to extend the area to join current sites, and to maintain the rehabilitated areas to prevent their re-infestation with weeds.
The Objectives of SOWN as set out in the Constitution (amended 6 December 2008), include:
- To rehabilitate, restore and maintain Enoggera Creek catchment waterways and linked habitat areas by supporting and encouraging community participation;
- To restore catchment health and biodiversity;
- To provide a best practice working model for catchment group activities;
- To increase community awareness, understanding and participation.
SOWN wins Lord Mayor's 'Green Heart Award - Organisation' for 2017

In September 1993, at a meeting of the committee of The Men of The Trees (MOTT), which was held in what is now the main meeting room of the office of the Greening Australia Nursery in Paten Park, The Gap, Queensland, Naigretta Brennan, President of MOTT (Qld.), asked Brian Hallinan, the then Alderman (Councillor) for the ward of The Gap if he would manage the portfolio of 'new project funding applications'.
For some time. Brian had been concerned at the deteriorating state of Enoggera and Ithaca Creeks and the city council's view that creeks were but drains for the speedy removal of storm water. He was also critical of the bull dozer methods used to clear the creeks of weeds, without realising that those weeds, though mostly exotic, were the habitats of many species of native birds, animals and reptiles.
His plan was to establish a community-based organisation, which would provide the knowledge, energy and enthusiasm, to carry out the rehabilitation of the creeks and gullies in the catchment area of the Enoggera and Ithaca Creek system. The section chosen stretched from the weir, near Kelvin Grove Road, below which the creek was known as Breakfast Creek and affected by tides, to the base of the Enoggera Reservoir, above which is managed by the Brisbane Forest Park Authority. The catchment, under SOWN management, covered an area of twenty-eight square kilometres.
In order to tap into local knowledge of the creek system, Brian invited the existing Enoggera Creek Committee, under the leadership of Trevor Ozanne, a lecturer in horticulture at Grovely TAFE, to form the nucleus of the steering committee to establish SOWN. The SOWN committee was formed on 1st March 1994 and, because it had not been incorporated, operated under the wing of the Men of The Trees Inc. The committee's first action was to establish six simple objects, which read as follows:
- Provide a working model for the rehabilitation of waterways and their local environments.
- Develop a catchment plan with which to manage the rehabilitation work.
- Recruit volunteers for each area and to provide support to assist them in carrying out their tasks.
- Rehabilitate the waterways and their local environments by the removal of rubbish and unwanted vegetation and to plant and maintain appropriate native species of vegetation .
- Maintain records of the rehabilitation as it progresses.
- Encourage other like-minded communities to adopt the SOWN program.
Activites leading to SOWN
- Hansard 30 March 1998 - SOWN gets a mention in the Australian Parliament
- Project Trees newsletter 1982
- Project Trees newsletter 1983
- 01 Enoggera Creek Beautification Association
The name of the incorporated association shall be Save Our Waterways - Now Inc. (in these rules called "the association")
The objects for which the association was established are:
- To provide a working model for the rehabilitation of waterways and their local environment.
- To develop a catchment plan with which to manage the rehabilitation work.
- To recruit volunteers for each sub-planning area, to provide support and assistance in the carrying out of their tasks.
- To rehabilitate the waterways and their local environments by the removal of rubbish and unwanted vegetation and to plant and maintain appropriate native species of vegetation.
- To create an environment for the return and safe haven for native fauna.
- To maintain records of the rehabilitation as it progresses.
- To encourage like minded communities to adopt the SOWN program.
- To provide an educational focus for the creation of improved awareness of the benefits of the SOWN program.
SOWN has a vision of restoring and rehabilitating the habitats and waterways within the Enoggera Catchment. These include the sub-catchments of Enoggera, Fish and Ithaca Creeks. In addition to undertaking the physical work of fauna and flora monitoring, invasive species removal and bushland regeneration, SOWN also strives to facilitate community awareness and education through an active engagement process and through maintaining an effective schools program.
In achieving behavioural change, SOWN works upon the principles of developing authentic learning experiences through relating all learning to the context of the school's local catchment area. SOWN is replacing the ad-hoc experience that students often get in accessing 'experts in the field' and is encouraging a learning experience that is on-going, multi-faceted and integrated into various aspects of the curriculum.
If we think for a minute about the concept of sustainability and what it means, we can truly appreciate the value in educating youth about their role and responsibilities as far as the stewardship of natural areas is concerned. Sustainability can be defined as the ability to maintain a process indefinitely. If we are to maintain environmental health in the future, it is fundamental that we empower youth to accept the responsibility and arm them with the knowledge and skills to sustain this in the future.
The activities undertaken can contribute to curriculum outcomes in a number of subject areas. Whilst these would most obviously include science and geography, activities can also be used to achieve learning outcomes in maths, art, drama and English. The activities also align with sun safe practices, healthy lifestyle and social and emotional learning outcomes and present opportunities in inclusive education.
The activities also support Education Queensland's Tomorrow's Schools initiative, through promoting:
- an increased focus on parental and community involvement in education
- a broad range of curriculum choices, including opportunities to for integrated learning
- innovation in learning experiences
- higher levels of sustainability
- development of strong partnerships
SOWN has developed a varied approaches to catchment-based education, most often to meet the requirements of individual groups. In the future it would be great to create networking opportunities for teachers within the catchments, working on similar topics, to share their experiences.
In the primary education section you will be able to read about the educational opportunities offered through SOWN. Many of the activities developed through this process have been undertaken in conjunction with the Ithaca Intact project.

Personally, I don't use alcohol unless a cart gives me a problem. First I'll try a DRY q-tip, just to wipe off the contacts and get any dirt or dust out of the channel. If it still won't boot, I use tap water. Just moisten the q-tip and clean the contacts. Then, I immediately follow up with a dry q-tip until it's dry.
The owner of my local Play N Trade has a rather neat cleaning method. There's special cleaning spray for PCI cards and slots. I can't remember if he actually sprayed a game, but he squirted a good bit of the stuff into a Genesis Model 1 that wouldn't boot up, and it was perfectly fine afterward.
Every time I go to my local flea market and buy NES games, the guy always gives it a good clean with a sandpaper stick. I hate it when he does that though as when you think of it, sandpaper will take the dirt but the connectors off too. I wouldnt do it. Just use a light bit of rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab. Sandpaper is risky.
Recently, I've taken to using these along with Dawn hand soap, followed by an alcohol wipe:
I cleaned a batch of SNES games with that method, and every single one of them booted up. They're even better than the Scotch-Brite green scrubbies.
Use sandpaper ONLY as a last resort.
My local game shop they use, I believe, Simple Green. All the carts I have bought from there still have that scent.
A dremel with a soft buffing attachment also will work, but you have to be very careful.
On a side note, electronic contact cleaner (with silicones) is great for controller ports and cart slots.
The chore boy pads work wonders. I have been using them for years. Highly, Highly recommended.
My cousin uses sand paper all the time to get games to work, but only if a q-tip and rubbing alcohol won't do the trick. He demonstrated to me how sand paper can fix games by using it on an SNES copy of Battletoads & Double Dragon that I had been trying to get to work with no luck. The game had really bad corrosion on the pins, but after he sanded them out, it worked like a charm.
What would I do for a Genesis cart that works in a Model 1 only with a Game Genie, but not a Model 2? Does that have anything to do with the contacts?
We use 1500 black sandpaper and wet it down with windex. With the cart taken apart we barley rub it across on contacts and it will polish them up real nice.Then we wipe them clean with windex. I have done 10,000+ carts and never had a problem.
If you are ever in St louis stop by my store Trade-N-Games. I have a huge selection of vintage games along with the new systems. Or shop online now www.tradengames.com
<skaar> Sega is like Marilyn Monroe would be if she was still alive but at one point went completely bankrupt and started making skin flicks.
Feedback Thread - http://www.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?t=132406
Populous. It's an EA cart.
I also have a copy of Revenge of Shinobi that doesn't boot in the Model 2, the PRODUCED BY OR LICENSED BY SEGA message comes up and hangs on a black screen. Haven't tried that one on the Model 1 yet.
Do not use sandpaper. Do not use windex. Do not use rubbing alcohol. Do not use a pencil eraser. These are all terrible ways to clean a game cartridge or pin connector.
DeoxIT is the only product that can get them truly clean. It is what I use exclusively and I stand by it 100%.
I use rubbing alcohol and a qtip, if that doesn't work i open it up and use an eraser, then wipe it down with windex.
I've used 2000 grit and 800 grit. 2000grit works great because you don't want to remove a lot of surface material, but it's hard to fun at the local store. It does polishes up the contacts real nice though

Sometimes it seems as if some stores are new to the scene, when in fact they have been around for a long time.

My finished Tissura dressmaking project: Liberty of London front zip shirt dress
Summer is the busiest time of year for me at work and this usually starts around spring, so I'm very grateful for everyone's patience with me posting here. I am happy to report that my one of my dressmaking projects (see previous inspiration post here) is now complete after encountering some difficulties.
Today, I will talk you through some lessons I've learned from sewing this project (having been sewing sporadically for 5 years now) and reveal my final design.

New Pipe Dream Patterns sewing project: My Sew Called Sweater
It's April and with having a week off, I'd quite like to spend this time getting back into my sewing groove! I had started some children's sewing projects last year (see here, here and here) after the sewing and crafting plenty for our 2015 wedding (you can see the full details of my projects here). Afterwards I believe I burned myself out and with my excitement to try to sew all sorts of things babies and expecting parents would need last year.
One of the first things that piqued my interest in sewing again was when I discovered Pipe Dream Patterns, a fledgling indie pattern company working towards creating comfortable wardrobe staples with fun style lines to help you explore your own creativity with colours and textiles.

Vegan Asian-style food in Edinburgh: review of Wee Buddha
As a Chinese living abroad, finding genuine Asian food that I remember from growing up in Hong Kong isn't all that easy. The reason being no matter what country you live in, when you want to try and eat food from other countries, the restaurants and takeaway shops usually tailor recipes and only offer dishes that the population in that specific country prefer. For example, in Edinburgh I've noticed sweet and sour dishes I used to order sometimes were bright fluorescent orange and smell of vinegar with battered pieces of meat and a lot of dishes contain really strong flavours of fruit, so much so you can't really taste what it is you've ordered. This isn't really something you see often in Hong Kong.
One place that has been a real hidden gem is wee buddha on Jamaica Street. With a separate vegan menu offering Asian food, I was excited to see what they had to offer.

Re-creating high fashion: dressmaking project with fabric from Tissura
We get inspiration from all around us for creative projects and sometimes seeing something you like but wanting to change it to suit your own style is the most straight forward way. Years ago when I was avidly catching all the premier designer fashion shows, I was also watching out for the celebrities to see what they wore. Sometimes what's on the front row is just as good as what is being paraded down the runway!
There was one such Asian celebrity who wore what I thought was an interesting gown. It was made with textured rose pink coloured fabric, was short-sleeved and was the length of a coat, but was in fact a dress with a short zip of around 6 inches which meant the celebrity had to wear shorts underneath. Somehow the length and style of the dress really fascinated me. In Scotland, you wouldn't catch me wearing the dress with short shorts underneath, but it was one that definitely stayed in my mind!

Vegetarian/vegan fine dining: review of David Bann
David Bann on St Mary's Street (just off Cowgate and near Scottish Parliament) will always hold a special place in my heart. It was the restaurant the OH brought me to for our first Chinese New Year's celebration together and we revisited the restaurant again for Chinese New Year this year. On the day of Chinese/Lunar New Year, Chinese people give the animals a day of rest from slaughter and choose to eat vegetarian for one day. I'm happy to say I no longer hold onto any guilt for only giving them one additional day and having that reprieve shortly taken away when the workers return the next day for work. I'm pleased to say that being vegan means giving more animals a chance to be free from pain and suffering, 365 days a year.
So what does this have to do with David Bann: vegetarian restaurant?

Dressmaking project on the go: fit and flare lace gown
It's been a while since I had sewn anything for myself. After sewing 9 projects for our DIY wedding (you can see all the projects we did ourselves for our 2015 wedding here) and after that, it seemed my friends were all due to have their babies at the same time last year. I was so excited about my friends expecting babies that I was consumed with making handmade toys and clothes for them that sewing for myself was put to one side.
Since becoming vegan, I don't feel the need to sew quite so much anymore. I'm only the one person and since the OH and I don't go to formal events that require us to be dressed up much. Added to the fact that I'm trying to clear out all the excess clothing I don't seem to wear much, I try not to sew too much that I'm not going to get a chance to wear.
Seeing a pattern that calls to you, with a shape that you know will suit you and gives you ideas on what to make, really gets those creative juices flowing. Recently seeing one on Instagram did just that.

Another vegan pasta recipe: kale pasta
I like to take inspiration where I can for quick and easy meals to cook at home. With the OH being a chef who also likes some variety in what we eat (unlike me who's quite happy to stick with the same ol' meals day after day), it's a nice challenge to know what else I can rustle up for lunch or dinner on a whim.
A lot of friends have commented how celebrity chefs like to share meals that are 'quick and easy' and oh so simple to make in 5 minutes, but it never works out that way. Derek and Chad Sarno of Wicked Healthy are great for sharing quick and easy recipes like this pasta dish below because when they say it's quick and easy, it really is.

Review of The Caffeine Drip: South African cafe and bakery – NOW CLOSED
Updated: It is with great regret that The Caffeine Drip announced yesterday they will now be closed.
If you've ever had a dish that you thought you couldn't live without as a non-vegan, I guarantee someone else has come up with a vegan alternative recipe that tastes just as good, if not better, than the dish you remember. For a while, I'd been thinking about making my own French toast at home, I even pinned several recipes to try, but when I found out The Caffeine Drip served French toast, I was more than happy to give this South African cafe/bakery a go.

High Flyers Academy
I am a Success Coach that specializes in Leadership Development for Sales Reps, Sales Managers, Executives, Youth/Family, Career, & Life. I have also been in Sales for 10 years and Sales Management for 5 years. I am a Success Coach because I truly feel that people can be anything in life that they want. Yet, at times people will look at the glass half empty, and my job as a Success Coach is to allow them to see Success is attainable by controlling their thoughts. I am motivated to help others attain their dreams and goals in life.
I will be targeting sales reps that have aspirations to make presidents club, get promoted within their company, or just be a consummate sales representative. I will also target sales managers to be much more effective in coaching sales reps so that the manager and rep both attain their desired success. Regarding youth, I will work with this group to allow them to become the leaders they want to be whether this is at school, in the community or in life. I will also work with parents to be better leaders to their children. Sometimes we can hone in on the negatives with our children, I will create self awareness with parents so they more consistently look for the positives in their children rather than the negatives. To wrap up my audience is: Sales Reps, Executives, Sales Managers, Teens, Parents, and anyone else that wants to enhance their leadership skills to successfully master themselves or lead others to new found heights.
My aim is to develop current and future leaders in the previously mentioned arenas. The name High Flyers=Leaders. Academy=Higher Learning. This is an online site called High Flyers Academy where current leaders and individuals wanting to become better leaders can come to. I will coach these people to be more sound with their leadership skills so they become High Flyers in school, at work or in life. At the end of the day, my ultimate goal is to create better individuals that will go out in the world and make a positive impact. To me I see the logo having themes of the following: Jets (SR-71 Blackbird--Highest & Fastest Flying Jet), Rockets, Man with Jet Propulsion back pack, with mountain in background and an academy on the top of the mountain. Essentially an aircraft flying high (High Flyers) with Mountain (Tallest Peak) and an Grecian Academy on the top of the mountain? Just an idea. The Logo should personify: High Flyers Academy.....It should also evoke: Leadership, Coach, Success, Victory, Motivation, Positive Force, Shift in Thinking. The colors should be in Orange, Red, and Royal Blue.

Tiny Cabin, Giant View
A snowboarder's cabin in the Sierras has no bedroom, no bathroom— but a hot tub and a (nearly completed) ski lift.
A snowboarder's cabin in the Sierras has no bedroom, no bathroom-but a hot tub and a (nearly completed) ski lift. WSJ's Conor Dougherty joins Lunch Break with a look at pro snowboarder Mike Basich's mountain retreat
Just about anyone who has ever lived in an over-cluttered home has at some point declared that one day they'll ditch it all and live simply. Mike Basich did it.
Mr. Basich, a 40-year-old pro snowboarder, has spent the past several years building his dream home near Lake Tahoe. About 10 miles outside Truckee, Calif., the house sits 3 miles beyond a quiet road that has a few mailboxes but not much else. In the winter, it can only be accessed by a snowmobile, snowcat or other kind of tracked vehicle.
Mr. Basich's property is 40 acres, crisscrossed with creeks and boasting views of the Sierra Nevada, but the house itself is smaller than the average cramped studio apartment. It's 228 square feet, doesn't have laundry and the bathroom is outside.
"I've eliminated a lot of stuff by choosing to have a small place and a big yard," says Mr. Basich, who has scraggly brown hair and usually needs a shave. The house is about 25% glass and lacks curtains, so he gets up with the sun and goes to sleep with the stars. In between, his typical activities include snowboarding on an adjacent hill or hiking with his Siberian husky, Summit.
The electricity comes from a solar panel on his porch. The running water comes from snowmelt. All of the heat—for warmth, for the soapstone oven, for the hot tub—is generated by wood fires.
Inside the house, there aren't any rooms or closets. The inside and outside walls are made of granite stones that form the house's shell, and the sleeping area is a small loft that sits only a few feet below the ceiling. A range of household items, from baked beans to bear spray, are in open view.
His TV is rarely on and doesn't get reception or cable. On a recent evening, the lone bookshelf had a small collection of snowboard magazines along with a book titled "Tiny Homes." Mr. Basich's indulgences include a hot tub on the porch along with a ski lift that, when finished, will rise 600 feet up a nearby hill.
Building is another activity that takes up a good deal of Mr. Basich's time. Over the past decade, he says, he bought and sold a half-dozen rental and investment properties, all of which he extensively renovated. He designed the pentagon-shaped house himself, and has lived on the property—in a tent, under tarps—through various stages of completion. He and friends collected the granite from the surrounding property. He milled all the wood himself, most of it from a combination of pine and Douglas-fir trees on his land.
From the deer-antler doorknobs to the oak coffee table inlaid with petrified mammoth bone, nearly everything in the house comes with a story about Mr. Basich's labors. Asked if there was anything in the house he didn't build, Mr. Basich responded deadpan, "My computer."
Mr. Basich grew up in Fair Oaks, Calif., near Sacramento, and became a professional snowboarder in 1991. He competed until 2000 but quit to focus on backcountry riding. Today, sponsors like Flow Snowboards and GoPro pay him to travel the world taking self-portraits of his snowboarding that they use to promote their products.
His house and land, which he calls "Area 241," after a small clothing company he owns, are a part of that image. He has an Area 241 iPhone application with regular updates of his doings. Also, for $2,500 a day, he rents out the property for private parties and commercial shoots (Mountain Dew was a recent client). He says the fees cover his mortgage and then some.
Back when he was a contest professional, Mr. Basich bought a five-bedroom home on a Salt Lake City cul-de-sac. Over time, he started to hate the abundance of space, along with the time and money it took to maintain it. In 2002, after his move to backcountry snowboarding, he sold it to live in his van.
In 2004, a real-estate-agent friend tipped off Mr. Basich to 40 undeveloped acres that were up for sale. He fell in love right away and paid $225,000 for the land and has since put about $20,000—plus five years of labor—into building the house. Bret Churchman, an associate broker with Coldwell Banker in Truckee, says similar lots are on the market for between $500,000 and $1 million, depending on how much infrastructure they have and whether or not they can be divided into smaller parcels.
Mr. Basich, who lives alone, travels about half the year and maintains a small apartment in Colfax, about 40 minutes away. He notes that while it might seem limiting to live in a small house with few appliances, the lack of choice is freeing. This past Christmas Eve, Mr. Basich and his girlfriend made dinner by cooking duck, potatoes, turnips, butter, spices and wine in a pot over the fire.
One of Mr. Basich's complaints is that people don't always respect his privacy. He says a friend recently told him that he and some buddies went to the house and had beers on the porch. The friend said it was too bad Mr. Basich wasn't home.

Hello all!
I am a new kid to this forum (and this Karezza concept, for that matter)! I experienced some sexual abuse as an adult about 6 years ago (one in the former of molesting from a trusted spiritual advisor, the other was rape from someone I went on a date with) and I am only just now getting therapy that really fits. My therapist recommended this book to me just to demonstrate that there are more communities/options than simple orgasm sex (which I have yet to experience an orgasm so far anyway due to trauma/anxiety around sex, especially intercourse). I am intrigued by Karezza and it sounds too good to be true. I have a lot of anxiety and panic around 'traditional' sex and the thought of not having the pressure to experience an orgasm (or not having to fight my resentment toward the male orgasm) sounds like such a relief. Does anyone out there have experience or thoughts about Karezza as a sexual abuse survivor or if it has been helpful if there is a history of sexual trauma? No partner in the picture for me, so everything is speculative at the moment- but I would really love the feedback!
Welcome Beauvoir
Sorry for what you've been through. Your question is interesting. One of the psychiatrists who endorsed my book told me spontaneously that he could see it being very helpful to women who had been sexually abused. I remember that, because I had never thought about that possibility.
I try to collect interesting insights from forum members under "Karezza Korner" (lefthand margin). You may want to poke around in there. I spotted this page in there, for example: Can karezza help heal women's sexual wounds?
I think you would also like Diana Richardson's book Tantric Orgasm for Women. It seems to be her view that pretty much all women need healing via karezza-like sex. That could be a refreshing perspective for you. As porn-style sex becomes more common, I think Diana may be right - although few women will realize it. Sad.
Hope you find a loving partner to experiment with. Let us know if you gain any insight into this matter, here or elsewhere.
me too
I suffered traumatic, painful sexual abuse from an older man who was a family friend - it started at age 11 till around 13. I was so shocked and ashamed that I never spoke up.
It totally distorted my view of what normal and healthy sexuality is all about and I went thru years of bad karmic consequences. So I feel for you. What I've learned is this - as strange as it sounds - often the cure for things lies in the actual cause - like the fact that jewel weed grows next to poison ivy in the woods! This is a common idea in traditional Chinese medicine as well - thus, often the cure for sexual abuse can be found in healthy sacred sexuality. It was certainly true in my case.
Yes, it sounds incredibly
Yes, it sounds incredibly healing! I lack a loving partner and am concerned about finding any man who would be sympathetic to the idea. I was in a relationship for almost a year that fell apart in the end (for various reasons) but one of the main ones was my sexual reluctance. Thanks Marnia for your book recommendation- I will look into it. And thanks for sharing, KevinJ! I will do my due diligence with reading- and perhaps become lucky enough to find a loving, compassionate partner!
There are openminded men out there
I wrote my book in hopes that it could be a tool for conveying the ideas, without partners having to bear the brunt of people's initial skepticism. My book is more Big Picture. Another book that might work is this one: Tantric Sex For Men.
You could simply say you read one of these and found the ideas intriguing...and wonder what he might think about them. No ultimatums.
I hope there are :)
Thank you, Marnia! I agree that a more subtle, open ended approach/discussion would be best. After all, I have never tried karezza, either! I would hope by the time it was discussed the two people already would have some trust and intimacy working for them.
Thank you for taking time to compose those posts about the experience of sexual abuse survivors, too. Very helpful.
I was abused in a relationship
I had a boyfriend in my early 20s who turned out to be violent and sexually abusive while our relationship was progressing. I refused to participate in his porn-like scenario and he used his physical strength to get what he wanted. I was shocked and traumatized.
I do believe Karezza can heal our wounds. In Diana Richardson's book Tantric Senx for Women there are many testimonies of abused women who healed their sexual traumatas by doing karezza. The reports are very touching and inspiring. Diana Richardon's idea ist that almost every woman on this planet has been willingly or unwillingly abused and that our collective human wounds can be healed with karezza. I have been celebate for many years because I was not able to find a sensitive partner who would agree to do karezza and I was reluctant to practice the orgasm oriented sex that I always experienced more or less as a rape. But hopefully I will be in a karezza relationship some day.
Yeah that seems to be the thing
Yeah that seems to be the thing with sexual abuse, we either avoid sex and intimacy or can't get enough sex, sometimes both in phases
I remember this quote I heard "sometimes the things that scare you the most can be the things that save your life"
Nice quote
I hate to admit it, but I think your quote may have some truth to it. I have had sexual abuse as a child as well by a member of the same sex. It was just a one time thing, but it has haunted me all my life. Happened when I was on the threshold of adolescence. I think I've been afraid of women ever since, even though I love being around them. I was married once for a short while and I had a few relationships, but nothing that ever lasted very long. I find myself postponing a lot when it comes to women. My thinking is that I'm not "right enough" yet, or I should wait till I have more of what a woman wants. But I never seem to get there. So I go on thinking I'm not worthy. When I think about my sexual abuse I see it being connected with why I never feel I'm good enough. I've been dealing with this in therapy for the last four years and I'm 60. So, this thing has been around for a long time. I've had a taste of the nofap experience which lasted about 90 days, then a few other periods that lasted close to a month--all in about the last year. I know, and my body knows karezza is the right thing for me. But there is no partner. I am still trying to heal my wounded child so I can make that possible. Seems like more postponing though--
which is why I like your quote. The things that scare me the most just might save my life. Something to chew on.
You can't spend much time
on this planet without acquiring some bruises. Ultimately, awareness of your unhealthy patterns is probably the most "preparation" you can gain. The rest is up to you. And remember that any prospective partner also has some bruises, so perfection isn't expected.
Try this website: https://www.seniorsmeet.com/. I'm pretty sure it's the one my sister has been exploring. She dated someone for a bit and said he was refreshingly "normal."
Happy hunting!
Thanks Marnia...you are so kind. I don't have a very high opinion about dating sites but I will look into this one. Can't believe I'm already a senior. Life is short and getting shorter, so I must get with it. My inner wounded child keeps tugging at me and saying so. :)
Neither does she
They seem like awful places. However, Consumer Reports ranked that one as one of the most satisfying (still took an average of 6 months to find someone suitable). Let us know how you get on...in about 6 months.
Depends on where you live
The possibilities seem a little sparse in this area, so it may take more than 6 months. On the other hand, maybe not, when I look at the astrology, and I am told it could happen by December. My feeling though is that it won't be the result of internet dating (and I could be wrong about that), but of being around other people in the places I already frequent.
Time will tell. Either way, 6 months may be about right.
Wish me luck!
Meeting people through
shared interests "in real life" seems far more desirable. My guess is that if you tell a few female friend that you're "on the market" and want to start dating again - could they recommend any nice women?? - you'll be very busy very quickly.
What a novel idea! It's great to hear that kind of advice coming from a woman. I've already told one person who knows someone that might be interested, but she lives in another state, on the East coast, while I am more in the Northwest. At any rate, I will give it a try! Great idea! :)
I wanted to add that there's
I wanted to add that there's probably more people than not on this forum with sexual damage. Alot of us who've turned to the slow lovemaking/karezza thing were abused and/or sex addicted and found it through a journey back to healing
Sorry for what you've been through
Glad you're figuring out what tools help you heal.

Could High Bay-Area Prices Make Sacramento the Next Big Startup Hub?
Written by admin No Comments
Last Updated: May 15, 2014
waderoush (1271548) writes "Don't laugh. As the cost of housing spirals out of control on the San Francisco peninsula, neighboring metro regions like Sacramento are beginning to look more attractive to startup founders who prefer a Northern California lifestyle but haven't worked in the Silicon Valley gold mines long enough to become 1-percenters. Today Xconomy presents Part 1 of a two-part look at innovation in the Sacramento-Davis corridor and efforts to make the region more welcoming to high-tech entrepreneurs. In Sacramento's favor, there's a talented workforce fueled by a top-20 university (UC Davis), space for expansion, proximity to the ski mountains at Tahoe, and a far lower cost of living — the average house in Sacramento is selling for $237,000, compared to $909,000 in San Francisco. The downsides include a shortage of local investment dollars and a lower density of startups, meaning there's less opportunity for serendipitous collaboration. But locals say recent efforts to boost the local high-tech economy are working. 'I really feel like we are in a renaissance area,' says Eric Ullrich, co-founder of Hacker Lab, a Midtown Sacramento co-working space."

COOL DOWN: When we face fall, we face some changes in where we go on trips around the Golden State. And one of the biggest changes in the vacation realm is the fact that, with the coming cool-down, people begin to think about a desert weekend. Us? We love Palm Springs in June, and have said so several times in this space -- nothing beats sitting under a mister, with a refreshing beverage in hand, at 10 o'clock at night -- but we recognize that autumn and wintertime are the top seasons for the desert resorts. The Palm Springs Follies start back up, the rock-bottom deals of hotel deals of summer get a little scarcer, and the restaurants fill up. So we were delighted when the Palm Springs visitors bureau rounded up five budget-minded things to do around the area, and just in time for the desert's busier season.
MUSEUM, NATURE, MORE: The suggestions round-up runs the gamut -- we love it when suggestions round-ups do that -- but it does include a few headlines. The Palm Springs Art Museum made the cut; and if you're there on a Thursday afternoon and evening, admission is free. Likewise, the beautiful Moorten's Botanical Garden, pictured above, almost feels undersea in parts, thanks to its unusual array of cacti and succulents. The other suggestions include an arts district, a self-guided architecture tour, and the Village Green Heritage Center (looove this place so much we just put three o's in the word "love"). It's all handy information now that the busier season is set to begin in the desert, and those summer deals'll be fewer. Save a few dollars where we can and enjoy doing so, too.

It's been such a pleasure having the opportunity to revisit and feature some of Ornana's most innovative stories on film over the past couple of weeks. From "(notes) on biology" to "A Different Kind of Movement", this mix of both touchingly real live-action and imaginatively animated adventures have proven what we all already know to be true: there are simply no boundaries to the groups' abilities to make a damn good film. Another case in point: Ornana's 2013 fully live-action feature, "Euphonia". The premise? Simple. The storytelling path it takes to get there? Anything but. At only 53-minutes, this low budget mini-feature follows the story of a teenager (Will Madden) with a curious, unhealthy obsession with recording sounds...to the point where the entire world around him becomes totally new, altered and strange. It's not just a film you should look forward to watching. This is a film you should look forward to hearing. An absolute must watch in the team's catalog of success, "Euphonia" is like a coming of age story, only through the lens of the relationship between a boy and his recorder. Even though this SXSW gem has already being on the market for free (via Vimeo) for a few years now, "Euphonia" still has close to 100% relevancy in terms of its place within a constantly changing analog and digital landscape. Things move quickly these days, but the relationship between humans, technology and the world around them still fosters a sense of young naivety to it at times. This is why Madden's teenage role is so effective. One of the film's most obvious traits is that it does a great (and underhandedly terrifying) job of showing the results of a man-made synthesis of technology and the physical world around us. Nature, sound, auditory perception, the whole shebang, is constantly being both discovered and experimented with throughout the story. And this is all down to the out-of-this-world sound mix and narrative subtlety on display. The way the film smoothly integrates the actual digital recordings into the mix is also brilliant and refreshing to the ears. At just under an hour, a short running time makes sure this experimentally aural journey is easily digested. And don't let the live-action stamp fool you. "Euphonia" carries the same amount of edge as any of Ornana's surreal animations - possibly even more. It does everything within a real world we can vaguely recognize but not fully understand. Choosing to release it for free, the gang's POV on self-distribution is right on brand with Indie Street and makes this film an even more treasured addition to our roster. We are proud to have the chance to present this release for, not just your viewing pleasure, but your hearing pleasure as well. Pull out some quality headphones and get ready to truly teach your ears the exact power of sound! You can watch "Euphonia" for free, now on Indie Street!
2016 was quite the year - one full of turmoil and disappointments. Sadly, 2017 has basically been exactly like last year except x1000000 in craziness. We have to do what we can to find any glimmer of hope possible. This is exactly what filmmaker Sean Wang's sparkling indie gem "3,000 Miles" offers - a filmic glitter of touching beauty and hope. At only 5 mins, this sweet doc chronicles, via a visual montage of snippets of a city in motion and voicemail audio, Wang's year living and working abroad in New York City. The story is told through voicemail messages left by his mother, from July 2016 to just recently, checking in on him over the course of a turbulent 12-month period in modern American history. Scenes of the city, reminders of the Trump administration, the feeling of simultaneous opportunity and oppression of being in a foreign country all emotionally seep through a beautiful concoction of words and images. Please take 5 minutes out of your day to experience this moving portrait of time, history, place and family…and hey, why not give your loved ones a ring afterwards!
The last couple of years have seen an explosion of lyric music videos. They are less expensive and easier to make than regular music videos and they keep fans on the channels of artists rather than give them the opportunity of exploring unofficial sources. So, it has become somewhat of a custom for well known artists to do one or two lyric music video for tracks they are also planning to release. Most of them are quite straight-forward. Some, however, are rather creative. Here are three fresh releases, worthy of your time! Green Day – Too Dumb To Die A very beautiful collage style video with a retro look, this promo is an absolute joy to watch. Smart use of typography fusing brilliantly with the simple yet effective animations, all incorporated in MiraRuido's aesthetic. The director is actually called Joseba Elorza and comes from Basque County in Spain. He studied to become a sound technician but his evening hobby of working on collages later prompted him to become an illustrator/animator.
Taylor Swift – Look What You Made Me Do Before there was the super expensive video everybody liked to talk about, Taylor released this beautiful ode to Saul Bass a.k.a 'the man who changed graphic design'. Created by ODD and produced by Taylor herself, together with Joseph Kahn, director of her official promo, this lyric video is (we think!) waaay more witty and interesting than the live action one.
P!nk – What About Us A more low budget lyric video but with a very special approach to the actual typography. Mimicking handwriting, the words become harder to read in the songs' more emotional and dramatic moments. As a matter of fact, a number of fans have complained that the promo defies the whole idea of a lyric music video whose purpose should be to see the actual words that are being sang. But it is this precise illegibility that makes it stand out - not to mention perfectly fits the song's message (that of a deteriorating relationship). Even more so, it also beautifully compliments the stirring live action video directed by Georgia Hudson.

About Maria:
We're ending the summer in a quirky breezy way with an arts & crafts style video! LAMAR + NIK go back to the simple yet witty concept that made them famous. Before lyric music videos were even a thing, they made this dazzling piece that featured the song's words made of gigantic cardboards. "Magnolia" was everything we loved about indie, low budget productions...not to mention it was also environmentally friendly given the letters were made from discarded cardboards from grocery stores. For The Shins' new video, they chose another tactic - yet, it's still as ground-breaking and impressive: filmed on a white backdrop, edited, then printed out. "Half A Million" was created with 5,566 stickers, hand cut from 4,868 frames and animated by sticking them down on top of each other at each of the 40+ locations. Great concept and an awesome twist for a video based on a band performance!

The past week was a whirlwind of creative energy, community-boosting moments, innovative films and overall, a seriously cool culmination of indie spirit in Red Bank, NJ at the second annual Indie Street Film Festival! It's hard to believe that another year has come and gone! And after an inspiring 5 days, the team behind Indie Street Film Festival was beyond honored to announce this year's award winners! "Like Me", directed by Robert Mockler, was named the best narrative feature and "Unrest", directed by Jennifer Brea, took the top prize for best documentary feature as we concluded five days of film screenings plus a wide array of special events and entertainment in Red Bank, New Jersey. Short film winners included Best Narrative Short – "Hold On", directed by Christine Turner and Best Documentary Short – "Little Potato", directed by Wes Hurley and Nathan M. Miller. Best Animation Film was awarded to "Pussy", directed by Renata Gasiorowski. The jury, including noted film critics, producers and filmmakers Alison Willmore (Buzzfeed), Dominic Davis (Rooftop Films), Heidi Reinberg (Producer), Leah Sapin (Human Rights Watch), Meredith Alloway (Writer), William Cusick (Filmmaker/Programmer), James Belfer (CEO, Cartuna), James Siewert (Award-Winning Director/Animator) and Ben Wiessner (Producer, Ornana Films), also presented Special Jury Awards for Best Editing to "Fish Story", directed by Charlie Lyne and Best Comedic Vision to "Business", directed by Kati Skelton. Red Bank artist and resident Gerda Liebmann earned an Audience Choice award for Best New Jersey Film for her first documentary, "You will be Persecuted". Audience Favorites included Best Narrative Short – "Resolutions", directed by Tamara Fisch and Best Narrative Feature – "Life Hack", directed by Sloan Copeland. Among the many discussions presented, notable panels included Adaptation, which included festival Advisory Board Member and noted Actor/Producer Arian Moayed (Rock the Kasbah) and Oscar-winner Mara Kassin, and Meet the Programmers, featuring Larisa Apan (Hamptons Film Festival) and Opal Hope Bennett (Nantucket Film Festival, Doc NYC). A community mural project at Kitch Organic, an appearance by special surprise guest Actor Amir Arison (The Blacklist), a community barbecue, provided by JBJ Soul Kitchen following the screening of "Barbecue", a documentary directed by Matthew Salleh, and the world premiere of "Brothers", the latest work from New Jersey filmmaker Jack Ballo, about two brothers who lived off the grid for four years in the woods of Sayreville, NJ filmed using only the camera in Ballo's iPhone, were also festival highlights. "The films we've shared made us laugh, cry and hungry," noted Jim Scavone, Executive Director of Red Bank RiverCenter, and the festival's Managing Director. The films were screened and the special events held at multiple theatrical venues in Red Bank, including the historic Count Basie Theatre, the Two River Theater, Bow Tie Cinema and Red Bank Middle School. Winners from each feature film category will enjoy a shared 1-week theatrical release in NYC. At the awards presentation, Indie Street Film Festival's Artistic Director Jay Webb confirmed the event would return to Red Bank in 2018 and planned a long-term commitment and partnership with sponsors and the local arts and business communities. Webb also posed a rhetorical question, asking attendees why support for independent artists and filmmakers was important. "In a world of digital content overload that demands more curation and leaves us less physically connected, gathering people in the community around film screenings and the arts is something our whole team believes is of critical importance," Webb concluded. "Audiences in a theater or at a live art event in the presence of the creators will feel the shared emotional vibrations of the exhibition and truly become a part of the story. Offering locals, especially young people, these types of shared creative experiences can help them learn to accept human differences and not be afraid of them."

Oh man! We're less than 2 weeks out from the second annual Indie Street Film Festival! What could be more exciting?! We know: more killer indie news surrounding the fest! ISFF has just announced their special screening slate for this year and if you're an indie film lover, dance enthusiast, or just a Michael Caine fan, you're gonna love this pretty sweet lineup. The New Jersey premiere of the 2017 Slamdance fav "Dave Made a Maze", a breakout film directed by artist/writer Bill Watterson, will open the 2nd Annual Indie Street Film Festival on Wednesday, July 26. Valérie Müller and Angelin Preljocaj's "Polina", featuring Academy Award-winner Juliette Binoche will be the closing film on Sunday, July 30.

"From a live art performance by local artist Ronnie Jackson, who carves New Jersey landscapes and scenes into surfboards, a cookout after the screening of the documentary Barbecue with local sponsors, to a Liquid Lights creative workshop, we know festival attendees will enjoy what ISFF brings to the community," noted ISFF artistic director Jay Webb. "What sets this festival apart from other film events is the integration and cooperation of Red Bank's venues, restaurants and bars, retail shops and the local arts community which all gel to make the ideal atmosphere to celebrate the creativity of independent filmmakers." "Dave Made a Maze", featuring Nick Thune as Dave and Meera Rohit Kumbhani as his girlfriend, Annie, is the story of an underachieving artist who builds a fort in his living room only to wind up trapped by fantastical pitfalls, booby traps and critters of his own creation.

Once inside, they find themselves trapped in an ever-changing supernatural world, threatened by booby traps and pursued by a bloodthirsty Minotaur. In "Polina", a promising classical ballet dancer about to join the prestigious Bolshoi Ballet discovers contemporary dance, a revelation that throws everything into question on a profound level. "Coup D'Etat" is the story of a sixteen-year-old American girl who develops a pen pal relationship with Anton Vincent (Michael Caine), an island nation dictator, who unexpectedly seeks refuge in her suburban garage when he is deposed by his own people. "Person to Person" follows a variety of New York characters as they navigate personal relationships and unexpected problems over the course of one day.The festival will present more than 60 independently produced narrative, documentary and animated films, panel discussions, Q&A's with filmmakers, live art, an interactive community mural project, a community cookout, and both live and DJ music performances.

Early rain forced Texas manager Ron Washington to push back ace Yu Darvish one day in favor of long reliever Scott Baker in the series finale against the Baltimore Orioles.
After a nearly one-hour wait at the start, the rain held off but the Orioles completed a four-game sweep of the Rangers with a 5-2 victory on Thursday night.
Despite the loss, Washington still felt good about his decision to go with Baker over Darvish.

"The understanding was that the window was going to be small, and fortunately we got the game in," Washington said. "I thought Bake did a heck of a job to keep us in the ball game. We just couldn't hold them out of the bullpen.
"Bake was on alert (Wednesday) when we heard of the weather. He prepared today, along with Yu. If we decided to go with Yu, he would have been prepared. And if we decided to go with Baker, he would have been prepared. It wasn't all of a sudden that Bake became the guy. He knew coming into today that it was a possibility."
Steve Pearce had a career-high four hits and drove in two runs, and Wei-Yin Chen shut down Texas again in the Orioles' win.
The Rangers have lost nine consecutive road games -- their longest skid since 2005 when current Orioles manager Buck Showalter was at the helm. Baltimore (46-39) completed its first four-game sweep against Texas since 2004 and improved to a season-high seven games over .500.
Baker (0-2) allowed three runs and seven hits with two strikeouts and one intentional walk in 4 2-3 innings. Shin-Soo Choo hit his eighth homer of the season for Texas (37-48), which has lost 13 of 15.
In two previous starts this season, Baker went 0-1 with 6.00 ERA -- allowing eight runs in 12 innings. In 177 games over nine years, Baker has made 164 starts.
He said he is ready to fill any role needed by the club, either out of the bullpen or part of the rotation again.
"I am fully embracing this role," Baker said. "I'm coming to appreciate how difficult this role can be. Think as a starter, you take for granted how nice it is to have a routine, to have bullpen sessions where you can actually work on different pitches.
"I respect guys who are able to do this role and do it well. You've just got to be ready at all times."
Darvish will start Friday night when Texas will take on the Mets in New York.
Chen (8-3) allowed two runs and six hits with four strikeouts and two walks in six innings. He is 4-0 in four starts against Texas with a 1.67 ERA.
Left-hander Zach Britton earned his 12th save and hasn't allowed a run in 21 consecutive relief appearances.
Pearce had eight RBIs in the four-game series. Since the beginning of June, he is 31 for 81 (.383) with nine doubles and 17 RBIs. Nick Hundley had two of Baltimore's six doubles and scored twice.
"We're relying on some people, and people are stepping up," Pearce said. "We're pitching, we're hitting. We're having timely hitting. We're finding ways to get it done."
It was the first time in the Orioles' last 34 wins that they didn't hit a homer.
"It's so hard to win a four-game series, or three out of four, in the major leagues," Showalter said. "The guys kept a real intensity level through the rain delay, not knowing whether we were going to play or not. So many dynamics of what's going on with the 1:30 game (Friday) and weather issues there, getting in and out tonight."
Baltimore took a 1-0 lead in the third inning when Pearce hit a one-out RBI single to left.
Texas responded the next inning when Carlos Pena's grounder to second scored Adrian Beltre, who led off with a single. Choo made it 2-1 with a solo shot off Chen in the fifth.
Baltimore regained the lead at 3-2 in the bottom half of the inning. After Ryan Flaherty led off with a double, Hundley followed with another double, and scored on Pearce's double to center.
"I probably ran out of gas at the end a little bit," Baker said. "It was pretty muggy out there. It was kind of hard to catch your breath. I would have liked to have made some better pitches, especially that fifth inning.
"You just can't expect to give a couple of doubles and then them not to score. I would have liked to have had a better showing."
The Orioles added a pair of insurance runs in the seventh on a sacrifice fly by Adam Jones and an RBI single by Chris Davis.
NOTES: Baltimore OF Henry Urrutia (sports hernia surgery) will begin a rehab assignment next week. ... Baltimore RHP Bud Norris (strained right groin) took fielding drills, and is expected to throw a bullpen session or simulated game on Friday. Norris is eligible to come off the DL on Monday and could start that night against Washington. ... The Rangers used a new batting order for the 18th consecutive game. ... Pena went 0 for 3 and is mired in a 3 for 33 slump since being promoted from Triple-A Round Rock on June 24.

This is a Tournament Players Association Year 3 (TPA3) Premier event, and is governed by its rules, guidelines, and judgments, detailed here. All are welcome to join and participate in the association. You need do nothing more than join one or more of the TPA3 events that will be announced each Monday. Check back on the scoreboard to see how you're doing.
A Mexican Standoff is most precisely a confrontation among three opponents. The tactics for such a confrontation are substantially different than for a duel, where the first to shoot has the advantage. In a confrontation among three mutually hostile participants, the first to shoot is at a tactical disadvantage. If opponent A shoots opponent B, then while so occupied, opponent C can shoot A, thus winning the conflict. Since it is the second opponent to shoot that has the advantage, no one wants to go first.

James Smith necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 111 diseños de 21 diseñadores freelance.
My name is James Smith and I'm the creator of the Jasper web programming framework. I have a site called the Jasper Music Store which demonstrates this framework. It's kind of a "mini Amazon" that runs on several platforms at once: All very clever but it currently looks awful!
Primarily web programmers, but anyone who's remotely web-savvy might find the site interesting. It's only a couple of clicks away from the front page of the Garble website, so I expect to get visits from the curious members of a wider audience once Garble is publicised later this year.
I need a redesign for the Jasper Music Store site. I've put all the requirements in a blog post here:
And here's a link the the Jasper Music Store site itself, since it didn't come out as a link above:
It's very difficult to give examples of what I like. I'm not a designer as the current site design will attest and I'm really up for anything. Although the site is kind of a "mini-Amazon", one thing I do know is that I don't want it to look like Amazon! When I had a go at designing the site myself I originally thought of making it look like a Wurlitzer jukebox. This was too difficult for me and I think it would require too many images, but this is the kind of thing I'm looking for. A bit wacky, I guess. "Cartoony", maybe.
The most important thing about the design, and I go into considerable detail about this on the blog post, is that what I call the "platform bar" must be prominent. Read the blog post carefully if you will, I don't want to repeat myself here, and go and have a play with it. When you see what's going on you'll understand why it's important that the design highlights this functionality.
Oh, and if you want to suggest any additions to the site's catalogue, please let me know. Not everyone likes nineties ambient and jungle music!
