Tonight I finished watching Steven Universe. I cried because it was the end of something magnificent, beautiful, and original. I started watching the series only a few weeks ago with my kindergartner daughter and we promised not to watch any of it without the other. This quickly became a personal challenge, because I fell hard for this little work of visual and narrative art, told 11.5 minutes at a time. But I kept my end of the bargain, and it became a wonderful shared piece of culture for my kid and myself.
My 3-year-old son fell for it because, well, it's a cartoon with sight gags, action, wonderfully catchy music, and a striking visual style that's more detailed than it looks. My wife fell for the show for reasons that many adults (and me) surely do: the characters are richly developed and experience change over the course of five seasons. The overarching story and many smaller plots deal with complex emotional situations, evolving relationships, and heavy existential questions.
I love that Steven seeks to resolve conflict by also seeking to understand his opponents. I love the occasional homage to other TV shows (particularly some animated classics). I love the love-personified that is Garnet. I love that while most of the Crystal Gems have weapons, Steven has a shield. I love Connie, and Lion, and yeah, eventually Lars, too. I love the way music and dance are woven into the fabric of the show and its imaginative world. I love that such a deep, artful piece of entertainment could survive for five seasons on the Cartoon Network.
There's supposed to be a made-for-TV movie this fall, and I will try to be optimistic about it. I'm not sure what story is left to tell after the finale of season five, but I'm so into Steven Universe after inhaling it that I'll trust show creator Rebecca Sugar to deliver something meaningful. After all, she's why the people of this world believe in Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl…
…and Steven.

Top 10 tips for renting in Holland
Property hunting in the Netherlands can be a trying task. With a population of nearly 17 million and only three million rental homes, it's about as difficult to find accommodation in the Netherlands as it is, say, in New York City. Most expats will find themselves trudging through the vrije, "free," or private sector, as social housing is mainly reserved for a select few.

When most people think of aircraft flyovers at sporting events, they think of swift jets. It's the Blue Angels, maybe, or some other fighter squadron providing the thunder.
Not at the Patriots-Ravens game this weekend, though. The honors at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts were carried out by a lumbering C-5B Galaxy from the 439th Airlift Wing out of Westover Air Reserve Base, Mass. — and it made all the sense in the world for the hometown team.
For years, the unit has referred to itself as the Patriot Wing, even using the New England Patriots logo on the tail of its aircraft.
As Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler completed the national anthem Sunday, the C-5 soared overhead. It quite clearly caught the attention of quarterback Tom Brady and other players, as you can see in this video:

The first installment of this story, posted on June 15, 2009 on Blaugustine, was my 250 word contribution to an online game of Consequences (each successive entry in the game began with the closing lines of its predecessor). But because readers encouraged me to continue where I left off, somehow it just grew and became an illustrated novella.

Readers of this blog know how much I love names.
Whether it be my most lamented transfer of the 2011 season or guys, judging by their names, born to play the game, I love it.
As such, we celebrate these on the blog often. And with another recruiting season come and gone, it's time to give a little attention to the best new names in the Big 12.
We're including Texas A&M, Mizzou, TCU and West Virginia in this post ... because I want to.
Now, for the best new names in the Big 12.
Team MVP: Lynx Hawthorne, ATH, Baylor: Known for his cat-like reflexes, I can only assume. Will also assume the role of my new favorite player in the Big 12.
Sterling Shepard, WR, Oklahoma: Matching consonants are a great start for a great name. But the adjective/noun first name combined with the noun last name, too? Too much, sir. My hat is off.
Eric Striker, S, Oklahoma: A safety named Striker? Come on, Bob Stoops. Perfection. He narrowly missed my MVP nod.
Ellwood Clement, OT, Kansas State: Bringing a bit of the blues to The Little Apple. I assume he plays a mean harmonica.
Maty Mauk, QB, Missouri: His nomenclatorial doppelganger (I'm slapping a patent on that term) won a national title at LSU, which gives him extra points, and he gets the nod based on the snappy matching consonant, too.
Aiavion Edwards, S, Baylor: Throw a jump ball in this man's territory at your own risk.
Torshiro Davis, LB, Texas: I've never heard of anyone named Torshiro, but I love it. He sounds a bit like a bull, which is a great trait for a linebacker. And its uniqueness is offset by the unremarkable last name. It just works.
Zorrell Ezell, DT, Baylor: He's not an evil emperor, but he means business.
Kolby Listenbee, ATH, TCU: Rumor has it he captures the attention of insects near and far with a mere whisper.
Orion Stewart, ATH, Baylor: I hear this guy has a belt that is just mesmerizing.
Devlyn Cousin, DT, Iowa State: Guy is just an absolute terror at family reunions.
Glenn Gronkowski, WR, Kansas State: A guy named Gronkowski is going to catch passes for a team with one of the game's best coaches? Where have I heard this before? Big brother Rob didn't win the Super Bowl this year, but everybody in the family gets to keep the name. I'd say they broke even.
Kennedy Estelle, OT, Texas: Sounds like a supermodel. Blocks like a big ugly.
Polo Manukainiu, DE, Texas A&M: I love Pacific Islander names, and this one clearly qualifies. Also, his name is Polo. Outstanding, sir.
Noble Nwachukwu, DE, West Virginia: Assuming his name is pronounced the same as the Aggies' receiver, it looks like he'll bring an additional level of class to the family name, which is pronounced "WATCH-ah-koo."
Halapoulivaati Vaitai, OT, TCU: I look forward to moving from "butchered" to "serviceable" when it comes to pronouncing his name in the future.
Thierry Nguema, CB, Texas Tech: Bringing a bit of European soccer to the Big 12, which is something I think it's always needed.
To this year's team: Congratulations on the nod. I look forward to seeing you play and hearing your names called often on broadcasts. This was a great group of my absolute favorite names from the new classes.
Any suggestions for this year's recruiting classes that I missed?

Can I be totally honest with you? Time waits for nobody! While you wait to realize it, it is gone already. That is the reality of modern life – it's literally moving faster than the speed of light. The truth is, the hurry of modern life can be so frustrating if you don't arrange your necessities in an orderly way. While time is already running out on you either when preparing for work or other life events, you'll further lose more time if everything is not appropriately organized. An interesting fact is, decluttering your closet through a custom made closets can ensure that all necessary stuff is well organized and preplanned. That is, the closets are custom made to meet your precise requirement.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, a whole closet overhaul means optimizing every usable space available. Each closet has some specific storage criteria. While some are used to store old books, utensils and clothes, others store daily items. The space within your closet can be magnified with the aid of a custom made closet. Like the feelings that accompany having total control over one's affairs, you'd be relieved to know you can decide the best way to keep your things and the best closet system design to keep your stuffs.
A major advantage of any custom closet is its individuality. This specifically means that a custom closet is specially crafted to meet your storage requirements perfectly. You can experiment with the numerous options that a custom made closet will offer. However, the most important thing to consider before experimenting is the exact storage needs that of your particular closet. For instance, a kitchen closet will require proper arrangement so that porcelain or glass utensils can be adequately and safely housed, and a bedroom closet must feature neat shelves and clothes hangers. And in addition, custom closets also feature several other useful accessories that can be used to manage your specific storage requirements.
Here, the primary idea is to pay adequate attention to how you increase the closet space. Make no mistake about it, finding the right and effective use of a closet space isn't fun, it can be really engaging. However, you can find additional storage space by using the closet door or use the hanging rack to place hats or shoes and so on. Sliding doors or bifold closet doors are feasible options too since they occupy least floor space while closing or opening.
The most appealing advantage of a custom made closet is perhaps its ease of installation. These custom closets do not essentially need a mechanic to be installed since they can be easily installed by anyone. It saves installation money, does not take much time, and, can be even done by even a novice who is ready to put an effort. Do-it-yourself (DIY) closet ѕуѕtеm dеѕіgn kits аrе readily аvаіlаblе аnd they fеаturе prearranged pieces like thе bifold closet dооrѕ.
Finally, bеfоrе ѕtаrtіng with thе сuѕtоm сlоѕеt оrgаnіzеrѕ, аѕѕеѕѕ thе ѕрасе thаt уоu аlrеаdу have. Pull еvеrуthіng оut оf thе closet аnd trу to find out little spaces іnѕіdе іt that саn bе made mоrе uѕеful. Thіѕ оvеrhаulіng often leads to surprising evaluation of уоur оwn сuѕtоm сlоѕеt space, bесаuѕе ѕоmеtіmеѕ unрlаnnеd arrangements саn eat up a lot оf uѕеful ѕрасе.

Sure, our smartphones come in handy when we want to get in touch with the people in our lives. It doesn't matter if you're using the new BlackBerry 10 OS, Android Ice Cream Sandwich, or iOS – your smartphones allow you to communicate with friends, family, and colleagues. But there is a chance that communication could be taken to the next level. Who has not yet dreamed about being able to talk to pets and understand what animals actually mean when they make certain noises? New scientific findings have shown that it is indeed possible to decode animal language – and the idea of talking back to your cat or dog suddenly does not seem that absurd anymore.
In 2010, one of Google's various April Fools' jokes was an app called Google Translate for Animals. With the aim of "encouraging a greater interaction and understanding between animal and human", this app paired random phrases with the noises that your pet makes. What was merely a joke back then could soon be reality. Looking at prairie dogs, scientists have been working on decoding animal signals which add up to a very sophisticated language system, with sentence structures composed of noises resembling what we understand to be words. Animals distinguish clearly between the objects and creatures they see, making very specific noises when they spot potential predators of different color and size – describing exactly what they see.
This knowledge will surely help understand animals better – and facilitate communication between animal and humans, just as Google Translate for Animals jokingly envisioned in 2010. We might soon not only be able to understand what our pets are saying but also be able to convey to them very precise messages in their own language. It might take up to ten years for researchers to develop such a complex database of animal language, and potentially a couple more to create an app which could be accessible to everyone. But it is highly likely that technology and science will bridge the communication gap between humans and animals at some point in the near future.
If we are very lucky, then in a couple of years, your smartphone might not only be able to help you understand people all over the world regardless of their language. It might also fulfill the dream of man pet owners: precisely knowing what it is that your animal is trying to tell you instead of merely guessing – and possibly actually telling them exactly how much you love them, in their very own language.

By Tyni R
City cycling has been smoother thanks to less traffic and fewer people on the road. It's also been good since it is now an ideal alternative to public transportation. If you have your own car, then that's good, too.
This pandemic has brought various changes to lifestyles worldwide but it has brought forth a nice light to cycling. Although that is a nice benefit for the cycling culture, it is still sad that it also has brought forth limitations to the usual habits of cycling with friends or long distance cycling. Wearing masks can also be quite a struggle for breathing after cycling. While we still can't enjoy the normal we used to have, here are a few ways we try to cope with quarantine.
Stationary Bike / Stand
Yes, it's quite different from actual outdoor cycling but it still lets us burn a few stresses off. A good cardio a day makes everything okay.
Keeping Up Online
We get to scour and devour the Internet space to satisfy our cycling cravings — from the latest with famous riders, latest bicycle models, and even funny daring cycling videos. But unless you think you're pro material, don't try it at home. You wouldn't want to be near in any hospital as much as possible during the pandemic. Don't contribute to the stress of hospital frontliners.
More time for research so better plan the next rides thoroughly — routes, needs, timeline, etc. Budget planning, too, for the next bike or accessory purchases.
Get Comfy
Don't think of it as being stuck at home. Think of it as being safe at home. While we're at it, make the most of it and get comfy with the right plain wear or casuals clothing. Sooner or later, we will get our usual adrenaline fix from the outdoor rides.

Emily Millen
You're looking to feel like a marshmallow, you say? Perfect, read on!
Emily Millen happens to be one of those people that perplexes me. The first time she wafted into the room I didn't believe that she was always so soft-spoken and ripple-free. After a year of taking her classes I've come to realize that I still have no idea. She could have a penchant to cuss up a storm when away from the studio for all I know. Hey, I know I do.
But I digress. I've only ever taken her power and hatha classes and I have to say both are the most consistently mellow practices I've experienced. Not that she's predictable, but you'll know what to expect unlike, say, Liv Hilde. However, Emily is as equally stable and strong as Liv and floats into inversions as if someone had her on puppet-strings. Seeing her perform these feats you'd be hard-pressed to imagine that she (if I remember correctly) tore her ACL some time ago along with some other knee parts.
Those injuries (fascia-types) can be long-term and extremely debilitating but she told the class one day that mended her injury through sound healing. She proceeded to demonstrate and got all of us to try it; humming the alphabet one letter at a time in different pitches and tones. I admit it was awkward though I can't deny my back felt oddly loose and limber without actually moving. Oh, and that's another thing about Emily's influence; you may feel like you're not doing much but she's actually getting you to work every atom in your body. I wouldn't say it's effortless (since she's putting her full effort into the class) but it's a certain type of minimalism. There's a cliche that everyone uses that fits here but I don't feel like typing it.
With that experience in mind, I practiced both sound healing and minimalism after my eye surgery (PRK) and again after tearing my hip flexor. I wonder how I would've handled those recovery periods if I hadn't met her or the likes of Anila and Alex, two other teachers that remind you to just take it easy. The yoga community is very fortunate to have teachers that stretch the spectrum of pure power and complete softness, and the best ones teeter between the two. Emily is one of those teachers that can effortlessly switch from all-out to wind-down at the appropriate moments. I imagine her injury had a part to play in the forgiving nature of her practice and how she can do so much while seemingly doing little.
Her power classes on Wednesday (both regular and upside downs) aren't too strenuous and she normally doesn't suggest insane postures if there are more than a few newcomers. She'll put in a headstand in the upside down class as it's relatively accessible and adventurous enough already. She's conscious about how intimidating yoga can get and I'm sure it wouldn't do to traumatize anyone. Her hatha class on Saturday evening is excellent for those looking to start up or veterans to go shake it out. I try my best to attend since it ends/starts any week on a fine note.
After my tearing my hip flexor the first class I went to was hers since I knew her experience could help. It was difficult to move my leg without using my hands, but she showed me all the variations I could do without compromising the tender integrity of my healing hip. That one class provided me with an enormous amount of flexibility and strength the next day, which is excellent because sitting motionless with an icepack on the hip only got me so far. That and I was getting batty from immobility.
The other nice part about her classes is that her way of speaking, her tone, can put one in a trance. More than once I've snapped back to my senses at the end of a savasana to realize that I don't recall doing anything between the starting "aum" and hearing her ask us to sit up from savasana. That may be why her classes seems like a breeze; you're not aware you're doing anything at all. It's difficult these days to come across people such as Emily; people that make you feel at ease without trying too hard to be funny or wax philosophical.

On 9th February 2016 the Roy F Burrows Midland Collection Trust merged with the Midland Railway Society, retaining the name of the latter who have been one of the RFBMCT's partners in the Midland Railway Study Centre since 2004.
The Roy F Burrows Collection is now part of the Midland Railway Society.
A History of
the Roy F Burrows Midland Collection Trust
The Trust was a registered charity formed in September 2000 to make the comprehensive Midland Railway collection assembled by Roy Burrows accessible to the public for educational purposes. Roy started collecting in the early 1950s. When the Trust was formed, it was estimated there were around 20,000 items in the collection, but after a number of years cataloguing it was found to be rather more than this! Further acquisitions have also been made over the years of the Trust's existence and there are now in excess of 42,000 items: all are catalogued. The collection is probably the largest of its kind in the UK being devoted exclusively to a single pre-grouping railway company and its constituents.
A small part of the collection formed the basis of the acclaimed "Midland Railway 150" exhibition held in 1994 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the formation of the Midland Railway Company. This exhibition went on public view initially at the Midland Hotel in Derby, then at the Derby Industrial Museum (now Derby Silk Mill - Museum of Making) and finally at the National Railway Museum in York. It was as a result of this exposure that the historical significance of the collection was recognised and the consequent need to preserve it as an entity for future public benefit.
The vast majority of the Trust's collection is now located at the Midland Railway Study Centre in Derby Silk Mill and is accessible to the public (by appointment) for study and research. The Study Centre was established in 2004 by three organisations working in partnership - the Trust, the Midland Railway Society and Derby Museums. In February 2016, the Trust merged with its partner organisation, the Midland Railway Society.
The Midland Railway Society's collection, as well as the items transferred from the Trust, will be known in perpetuity as the Roy F Burrows Collection.

Items from the collection have also been made available on loan to various sites throughout the UK from time to time. Examples of these are:

What was started as a chicken and rice food cart by three Egyptian-born immigrants in New York City in 1990 has grown to 35 thriving locations around the globe with hundreds more in the pipeline. As part of a huge expansion spearheaded by franchise professionals Fransmart, The Halal Guys plan to open locations around San Diego in the near future.
Founded by Egyptian immigrants Mohammed Abouelenein, Ahmed Elsakaas, and Abdelbaset Elsayed, The Halal Guys is a testament to the American Dream - growing from humble beginnings as a food cart on the streets of midtown Manhattan to a global icon known as the largest American Halal street food concept in the world. This New York-based landmark was created by three like-minded men from Egypt who came to America in search of a better life. The Halal Guys currently has over 200 new restaurants in development worldwide.
Franchisee Paul Tran, who opened The Halal Guys' first Southern California location in Costa Mesa in 2015, is currently searching for locations around San Diego as part of his aim to open 50 Southern California outposts in partnership with the Fransmart franchise development company, which is also behind San Diego's incoming Slapfish fast-seafood concept. The Halal Guys is known for its simple menu of various Middle Eastern dishes, including gyro sandwiches, chicken-and-rice platters and the famous white and red sauces. The Halal Guys has already been well received in numerous markets including Dallas, Philadelphia, Arizona, Chicago and California.

Although trees are planted for their beauty and environmental benefits, sometimes a good tree can go bad and needs to be removed. Whether it is a pine damaging the sewer lines, a maple that has died or an oak damaging the sidewalk, it has to go. Tree removal can be costly, sometimes several thousand dollars or more, but there sometimes are ways to have them removed for free, depending on the tree and the situation.
Step 1
Check to see if your trees are part of a city, state or federal program. Many areas have received grants for the purpose of planting and maintaining trees as part of ongoing efforts to promote natural beautification and air quality programs. Check with your local cooperative extension office to learn about such programs in your area. You also can ask at city hall or at a forest service office that covers your area. If the trees are near the street, it is likely that the city owns them and will remove them at no charge, if necessary.
Video of the Day
Step 2
Post ads, either in stores, laundromats or online bulletin boards, advertising free wood for anyone willing to cut it up and haul it away. Many people heat all or part of their homes with wood, and these people are often glad to get free wood in exchange for their efforts.
Step 3
Call the power company to remove any unwanted trees that are near power lines. Most such companies have contracts with tree specialists in the areas they serve. If there is a chance that your trees are or will become problem trees, the power company will often remove them for you at no charge.
Step 4
Cut down the trees yourself. You can either use the wood in your own home or you can sell it. Using this method not only removes the trees for free, but actually pays you to do so. You can barter with someone if you need help, trading some of the wood for assistance cutting, splitting and hauling.
Step 5
Contact a reputable logging company about cutting and removing your trees. Many small companies will do this for no charge, provided there are enough trees – usually 20 or more -- to make it worth their while. Be sure you know what kind of trees you have and their value. In some cases, the logging company may not only remove your trees but will also pay you. Check with more than one company, ask at your county extension office and ask neighbors for recommendations before agreeing to anything.

Back in 2012, Alpina has presented its rugged-looking cool fake Alpina Extreme Diver 300 Automatic three-hander. For this year, the Swiss-based brand updated the collection with a chronograph version of the watch predictably calling it "Alpina Extreme Diver 300 Automatic Chronograph". If you compare the chronograph with the earlier three-hander, you will notice that both share the same cushion-shaped stainless steel body, which is equipped with the same unidirectional rotating bezel with luminous diving scale.
Although the function is clearly superfluous even for an amateur diver (I can't really imagine a guy going underwater without an electronic diving computer), the mechanical movement that powers it is based on a legendary work-horse, which is known for its bullet-proof reliability and adequate accuracy.
The movement in question is, of course, the good old ETA Valjoux 7750 natural-born chronograph caliber. Guys from Alpina redecorated the mechanism, equipped it with their own black PVD-treated oscillating weight and, as it is now common within the industry, renamed the engine as Caliber AL-725. Since the main elements of the movement remained intact, it is still built on 25 jewels and, after being fully wound, is able to keep going for as long as 46 hours without losing its time-measuring capabilities.
Sure, the new version of the best quality Alpina Extreme diver copy watch features a pair of chronograph push-pieces at 2 and 4 o'clock, but the buttons don't seem to affect its water-tightness since the chrono boasts the same 30 ATM WR rating as the original model.
* UPDATE ON PRICE: It looks like the watch will indeed retail with a minimum recommended street price of just over $3250. At least, the ref. AL-725LB4V26B2 that comes on a trendy mesh bracelet is currently listed at $3250 and versions with leather straps are usually a tad less expensive.
According to the brand's press release, they are going to sell the timekeeper in three versions that will differ only with the way they are attached to your wrist. Although the version on a black rubber band looks the most interesting on these HDR-styled photos, the model on a Breitling-style mesh bracelet will probably feel the most comfortable in daily wearing.
Not sure about pricing yet*: the watch was only recently revealed during Baselworld 2013 show. Something around $3000 would certainly do.

If you are tired of mainstream brands, this one may be just the right one.

iPad App Link
The 123D Catch app developed by Autodesk demonstrates exciting new possibilities for tablets and smart phones. Use your camera to take 20-30 photos of an object from various angles and 360 degrees around and the app generates a 3D model of the object. Models can be exported and emailed as .3dp format. Although the app has a simple interface it takes some practice to take effective photos for models, so it may try the patience of younger children.
This would be greater fun with access to a 3D printer to actually print your models, but even without that it can help to provide an outstanding orientation to the exciting new world of 3D imaging and modeling. Just a few years ago software with this type of functionality cost upwards of thousands of dollars and required high end hardware. Now you can have it in your pocket and free!

by Morokoshi Katsura (唐 桂)
(mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/8978.html)
For the first few weeks on Alba Venne dressed in layers: woolen stockings and quilted silk jackets and rivers of sable fur, long gloves and tall boots. The attire was necessary, as much for form and semiotics as the function of the outdoor ceremonies that marked his arrival, but he could not get comfortable. The least physical effort while bundled up caused him to overheat, which caused him to sweat and itch maddeningly in public, but remove any of his bulky outer garments and straightaway he was chilled. He had to show his face to the crowds, and the bitter air chapped his lips and made his eyes water. It was as well he did not care to appear lordly; charisma was difficult to achieve with a perennial runny nose.
"I don't know how I managed to survive here as a child," he remarked to Aramaki. "No wonder Lenore left on the first ship after her Contract expired." Aramaki only sighed and said something about thickness of blood, or perhaps the stark poesy of the landscape.
"Turn up the heat," Venne ordered him. "I'm rich enough to afford it."
"The populace will see it as wasteful, Your Grace."
"I don't care if they see me as mad," said Venne.
In fact he rather suspected they did, and it pleased him.
He spent most of his day in the artificial light of the greenhouse dome, tending Lenore's parting gifts, or reading a book while reclining in a deck chair set amongst the foliage. All the plants were Terrans, and back home on Cleia (he persisted in thinking of Cleia as home) they bore brightly coloured flowers or bracts or fruit during the winter festive season: poinsettias and zygocacti near the equator, holly and mistletoe in the temperate zones. Of course, on Alba the point was moot.
The poinsettias Lenore gave him were from her own gardens in Bel Kanthys and over eight feet tall, shipping and handling not included. It was very much like his mother to make a sweeping gesture of impractical sentiment and expect him to pay for it.
He deliberately left the juggling of political appointments to Aramaki, but could not worm his way out of everything. Trade union leaders had to be wined and dined, and the vast complex of mines and foundries inspected. He laid a Cartesian grid over a map of the Central Economic Region and worked his way through the sectors, at a rate of one per solar week. It was the only time he ever went outside.
It was on one of these inspection tours that he saw Noeids. They crested the lip of the mine in clumps of two or three, seemingly out of nowhere: perhaps half a dozen individuals in all. Most of them were dressed haphazardly in human cast-offs, but all of them were barefoot, and though Venne knew they were physically unaffected by the cold he still shivered in sympathy.
"Drive them off," said Count Yunel, who owned the mine in question. One of the greatcoated soldiers flanking their group shouldered his gun and fired into the air several times. The Noeids fled, although one of them lingered near the ultrasound fence, looking back. It appeared to be a young boy, near the same physiological age as Venne himself, and Venne fancied he was the one being watched.
"Damned pests," said Yunel. "That fence needs to be checked. If we're not careful they'll bring the dragons down on us."
"They're an endangered species," Venne said, "protected by Galactic convention." There was an embarrassed silence.
"So are snow dragons, Your Grace," Yunel said at length. "All the more reason to keep them from nesting in the CER – no way to get rid of one of those, short of putting it down."
That night Venne had the first of several dreams. In it he was barefoot, walking through the snow. Strangely he didn't feel cold, but he was tired and afraid. There was a sharp pain in his side that worsened as he moved – he had to keep his hand pressed against the spot – and when he looked down he saw that black blood was seeping between his fingers.
There were no domes as far as he could see, no plumes of smoke marking the entrances of mines, no roads. In the distance the mountains rose, as forbidding as ever, but they seemed taller than usual.
On the morning of the third day he asked Aramaki, abruptly, "Did my father hunt Noeids?" Aramaki set down the abstract he was marking over and blinked.
"They're an endangered species," he said.
"That wasn't my question," said Venne. Aramaki ran a hand through his thinning hair and sighed.
"He was something of an eccentric," he said, "your father. And the Alban oligarchy is not generally possessed of a high degree of ecological awareness, as I'm certain Your Grace has noticed."
He paused, frowning.
"Actually… you accompanied him once or twice, I believe. With your mother and older brother. But the Lady Lenore found the sport distasteful."
"I see," said Venne. He got up from his desk and approached the window. Outside it was as dark as always; the decorative birches surrounding the compound stood straight across his vision like ghostly sentinels.
"You know," he said, "if it weren't for the Slowing I would remember all this for myself. I'm beginning to understand why the people here are so set against it."
"Your Grace," said Aramaki, sounding scandalised. Venne turned and smiled at him indulgently.
"Merely a thought. But it is ironic, isn't it? When I heard accounts of this place I was always thankful Lenore took me with her to Cleia. And yet here I am again."
The Year's End Ball was a grand affair, the stuff of dreams, that incurred in a single night of celebration the same expenditure as annual heating for his greenhouse. This of course was not considered wasteful by the populace, who loved a good show. Venne stuck around long enough to open the festivities and lead the first dance, then retired for the night.
"Your Grace," Aramaki said reprovingly when informed of this.
"Fine," he said, "fine. Give me two hours of quiet."
He spent them on his deck chair, with a glass of sweet wine and a comprehensive history of the Godard-Ebb Process. It made for dry reading, but the thought of his personal stake in the matter amused him. Ironic that mssrs Godard and Ebb had arrived at their critical breakthrough right here, on frozen Alba where the process named for them was employed the least. There were members of the ruling class rich enough to afford the Slowing for themselves or their children, but he had yet to encounter one who would so much as countenance the idea. Venne perceived it as less practicality than a combination of ingrained pride and superstition. They were afraid of him, deep down inside, and unless a revolution in attitudes took place the passing years would do little to change the fact.
There was a thought. Did he really intend to stay? Better to produce an heir quickly, bound by Contract as he was by Lenore's and unmarred by Godard-Ebb, and abdicate in favour of his own offspring. Perhaps there would even be a spare he could take with him off-planet, and as long as there were no more accidental falls before the main dynastic line could perpetuate itself—
He fell asleep to the enumeration of his descendants and their compounded assets, and when he woke it was with a disoriented start. Had Aramaki called him? But the greenhouse dome was silent. He turned his head. Outside it had begun to snow again, and he fancied he could hear each snowflake land.
There was a patch of white at eye level, half hidden by poinsettia leaves. He focussed on it absently, not knowing what he was looking at. Then it shifted, and he suddenly recognized it for what it was.
A hand pressed against the glass. Part of a face.
Venne fell off his deck chair.
The hand moved again, sliding downward in mirror of his movement. Bright, human eyes blinked at him – no, not human. Venne picked himself up off the ground, mechanically dusting off his knees. His heart was pounding fit to burst.
It was a Noeid. It was the Noeid boy he'd seen that time, before. It was… it was… He approached the wall at a half-crouch. The molecule-thick thermal barrier sandwiched within the sheet glass allowed for unimpeded vision at a distance, but closer up it clouded over his view like reflective steam. The other boy was a dim, wavering outline, mere centimetres away. He laid his hand over the glass, where the other's ought to be. Alien sensations bubbled up within him like an uncovered spring.
"You," he said. "I know you. Don't I?" Happiness, he thought. A bright, disbelieving, unbearable happiness. Relief. Longing. A flash of greenery. A little boy standing in the snow. Images and emotions came and went too fast for him to grasp, fish darting between stones. "Wait. Don't go anywhere, wait there—"
He felt the other boy's assent and broke away, dashing through the door of the greenhouse. Up the stairs, back to his own apartments – he threw open the wardrobe and snatched the first warm item of clothing at hand, ignoring the exclamations of the privy staff – down different stairs and through a servants' door they didn't know he knew, a corridor, another door.
He stumbled out into ankle-deep snow. The frigid air hit him full-on; for a second he forgot how to breathe. His lungs burned, and his legs ached sharply with disuse.
Before him the other boy straightened from the glass, and smiled.
Despite Aramaki's protests he refused to unlock the suite door. Something of his state of mind must have filtered through his voice, for Aramaki's tone shifted from reproachful to alarmed.
"I'm all right," he said. "Please. We can talk about it tomorrow."
"Your Grace—"
He turned, back pressed against the door. The other occupant of the room lifted his head, gazing at Venne from where he knelt on the fur rug near the fireplace. He wore only a shift, and his hair fell untidily over his shoulders, blue shadows on snow. His dark eyes seemed to swallow the flickering light.
Venne felt happiness surge within him again, and shook his head to clear it. "No," he said, "I don't understand."
Wonder. Confusion.
"I don't… I don't remember. I'm sorry. I don't know who you are."
To soften the blow he approached and crouched down again before the other boy, taking him by the shoulders. The fire had warmed his skin; it was difficult to believe he was the inhuman creature he was. But Venne had never heard a Noeid could—
Could what?
The boy lifted his hands to Venne's face, their gazes still locked. His fingers brushed Venne's mouth. Venne inhaled sharply as time opened beneath and between them, dizzying. Loneliness. Questioning. Aching want. Years upon years upon years…
Venne closed his eyes. The boy leant forward and kissed him, on the lips he had just touched. Softly, then more forcefully, as Venne tilted his head to return the kiss. His hands slid down the other boy's back.
Such a long time, he thought, as the sense of it unfurled within him. Play and travel and the slow accumulation of wealth, long enough for a man to grow old and die. Did Noeids live so very long? But of course, Godard and Ebb knew, scientists and madmen that they were…
He pulled the other boy closer, fitting their bodies against each other in a way that seemed painfully familiar. The images came faster until they were a torrent, nearly indecipherable. Bleeding, so tired – dying – but there you were. Yours. Waiting for you. Green leaves against bare stone, a splash of red. Hands pressed against glass. Himself, younger, smiling, mouthing a word—
He tumbled the boy back against the fur, held him down and kissed him again. Came up for air and said, "Leis. I named you. Leis."
The boy smiled up at him, his eyes like deep shining pools. He placed his hand on Venne's chest, above his heart.
Leis did everything he asked, before he could think to ask it. Venne thought his heart would break.
"I'm sorry," he said again later, as they lay in bed, folded around each other. "I… shouldn't have left you behind. I know that much."
Leis shook his head, his face buried in the curve of Venne's throat. Not like that, he said in Venne's mind, and Venne was startled at the clarity of the thought. It felt like stretching limbs he had forgotten he possessed.
"What then?" he said aloud. Leis untwined their fingers and sat up.
I'll show you.
He leant down and kissed Venne's mouth, the edge of his jaw, his earlobe. His lips trailed down Venne's throat to his collarbone, following his quickening pulse, then further down. His hair trailed like silk floss over Venne's chest. Venne sighed and arched up into the touch.
Leis moved to straddle him, reaching behind to stroke him to readiness. When Venne was hard he took his weight on his knees and lowered himself slowly, impaling himself on Venne's shaft. Warmth echoed through their connection, magnifying the sensation. Leis's lips were parted slightly, his eyes closed in concentration. Venne watched him, the words caught in his throat.
No one told me about you, he thought. No one knew, or no one bothered: a spoilt child's lost pet, that's all.
He thought, I'm someone else now. Oh, Leis—
Leis smiled, and shook his head again. He bit his lip, and began to move.
Then the memories came.
They sat just outside the circle of new earth, hand in hand. The ground here was thawed by the nearby hot springs, not permafrost, and the tiny white LEDs at the base of the glass bespoke the dome's operation (hydraulically powered by the same groundswell). But it was not warm. It was not the season, even within the dome's artificial settings. Venne still sweated with the exertion of the dig, but if he didn't stand up and move around he would be shivering again before long.
He knew it. He kept sitting, fingers tangled around Leis's. He said finally, "I have to go."
Assent. Duty. Regret. He pushed against Leis in his mind, suddenly sullen faced with the other's understanding. Aloud he said, "Come with me."
Family. The sense of something large and silver-grey-blue, unfolding pinions wide as mountains; other bonds that could not be broken.
"Yes, I know. You're the same as me." A pause. "It's not fair."
Leis smiled. It was one of the first human gestures he had learnt. His inner voice said: I will wait for you.
"I don't even know when I'll be able to come back. Leis—"
Leis got to his feet, leant forward to brush his fingers against the sprig they'd just planted. There were two; there wouldn't be any berries otherwise. Venne had explained how to care for them, how to maintain the dome with its arbitrary Terran seasons so they would prosper.
These will remind me of you, he said. While you are gone.
Aramaki arrived the next morning at his usual hour – down to the second – to find Venne nearly dressed and examining himself critically in the full-length mirror.
"Ah, there you are, Aramaki," he said, over the head of the valet doing up the clasps of his coat. "Just in time, we're heading out. A lovely day for a little expedition into the mountains. I built something interesting up there when I was younger, I'll show it to you if you like."
"Your Grace, I must—" said Aramaki. A movement at the corner of his eye caught his attention. Leis had stepped out of bed, sheets gathered around him like drapery. Aramaki closed his mouth with a snap.
"Come now, good man, make yourself useful," said Venne. He glanced over his shoulder at Leis and smiled. "It's time for some fresh air."

With over USD 21 billion of power projects stranded for want of fuel, a ministerial panel may meet on August 14 to consider diverting a small volume of gas from non-priority users to fuel-starved generation plants.
The Empowered Group of Ministers (EGoM) may consider giving as much as 2 million standard cubic meters per day of gas to power plants this fiscal to generate about 480 MW of electricity, official sources said.
The gas will come from the western offshore fields of Panna/Mukta and Tapti, they said, adding that while squeezing out gas from the current year's output of 105 mmscmd would be difficult, things will improve in 2015 with 10 mmscmd of additional output.
The power sector's woes are due to a fall in production at Reliance Industries' eastern offshore KG-D6 field to less than 14 mmscmd. Output is projected to drop further to 11 mmscmd this fiscal before rising to 19 mmscmd in the first quarter of 2015 and remain at that level till 2016-17.
The decline in KG-D6 output from 62 mmscmd achieved in March 2010 means 25 power plants that signed up for 29.74 mmscmd of KG-D6 get no gas supplies.
Sources said on instructions of the EGoM, the Oil Ministry carried out a detailed exercise to assess additional gas available and demand.
About 4-5 mmscmd of additional gas will be available from the fields of ONGC and GSPC in 2013-14. A similar volume may be produced in the next fiscal and a further 2 mmscmd from GSPC in 2015-16.
This additional production will make up for the shortfall that fertilizer plants will face with the further fall in output at KG-D6 and also help to meet 3.8 mmscmd needed by five newly converted fertiliser plants, for which allocation had previously been approved by the Cabinet and EGoM.
Also, 2.95 mmscmd has to be given to LPG extraction plants of GAIL and ONGC, they said, adding LPG has been given second priority after urea manufacturing units.
Sources said out of the additional 4-5 mmscmd of gas in 2014-15, 2-3 mmscmd would be available for the power sector.
Most of this will flow to the Dabhol power plant, which had been given equal priority as fertiliser plants after its revival at a cost of Rs 13,000 crore. No KG-D6 gas flows to the plant now, although it had been allocated 7 mmscmd.
Additional availability of about 10 mmscmd during 2015-16 could be provided for the power sector, sources said, adding further supplies of 29 mmscmd from ONGC during 2016-17 and 11 mmscmd from RIL's R-Series fields in the KG-D6 block in 2017-18 would be sufficient for power and fertiliser plants.
For the present, the power sector may be asked to consider buying more imported LNG to produce electricity.
Currently, only a third of the 72 mmscmd of gas needed by 18,713 MW of power plants is being met. While another 8,000 MW of capacity is almost ready for commissioning, there is no gas available to fire the plants.
At its previous meeting, the EGOM rejected a proposal to snap natural gas supplies to urea plants and divert the fuel to power companies.

|What Could Be Simpler?
Now it seems to me that Paul Chastain and Rik Menck
are kind of forgotten indierock legends, being the key songwriting core
of Velvet Crush and the Springfields, both of whom made records to light
up the world at the tail end of the 80s and the start of the 90s. Both came to my attention with singles on the then vital Bus Stop label in the US before folks like Sarah and Creation gave them a wider UK audience through a set of releases, notably the Springfields awe inspiring Sunflower EP
and the Velvet Crush In
The Presence of Greatness set respectively. The Springfields in particular
always made me weak at the knees, and Sunflower was such a beautiful sad summer song. Which is all anyone really needs to know, except that Im sure Im
not the only one wishing they made more of what they had. And really, The Springfields
were the sound of Beachwood Sparks and their offshoot The Tyde a decade and a
half early.
Velvet Crush on the other hand I struggled with at first because they were so darn loud and rock sounding. It was the way of the world at the time, as it still is to some extent, although I overcame my wariness one summer evening with an extended solo walk on the beach, with Greatness and Slanted And Enchanted alternating as soundtrack. It was the night I switched on as much as I ever could to the sounds of the New American Rock, and it was a minor revelation. Really of course the revelation was that Velvet Crush were as much a Pop band as anything else, and that was the key. So were Pavement, but thats another story.
Now these days it might be Exeter city streets instead of a windswept Troon beach that accompanies the sounds, but thirteen years after that first encounter, theres a new Velvet Crush album playing in my headphones, and it sounds just as sweet. Stereo Blues (Action Musik) is filled with a bunch of Chastain / Menck songs that meld a love of Television, Sonic Youth, Big Star, The Byrds, Raspberries and a million and one other Rock and Power Pop geniuses into a confection that brims and buzzes with delicious sugar encrusted electric energy. Now I remember being so excited by a previous Velvet Crush album where they did a cover version of the Doug Dillard / Gene Clark classic Why Not Your Baby. It seemed to me that anyone who recognised that particular moment of Pop history knew the score. So whilst Stereo Blues stalks paths that are noisier and more fragmented than that kind of Country/Folk, its nevertheless important to realise that Velvet Crush are making a mature noise developed through a passionate immersion in the source texts of their Pop Cultural heritage; they make the sound of a band in love with the essence of electricity and the roots of the sounds they have grown up with and within. And it sounds mighty fine.
Even better though for me is the sound of the snow tires set by Unbunny. Here Chastain plays keyboards and bass alongside a cool crew who colour in the songs of Jared del Deo. Del Deo effectively IS Unbunny, and on snow tires he creates a gentle environment that recollects the previously mentioned Beachwood Sparks and Tyde with their sweet and mild psychedelic Country Folk inflections. Also one where Chris Bells (and Neil Youngs) loveliest slow sad songs ring out from distant transistor radios, a choir of ghostly school kids singing idly along. Hearing snow tires is like discovering faded old photo albums filled with sun bleached memories: world worn, weary, but ultimately uplifting, and all the better for it. This is certainly one of those slow burning albums that will haunt you for months and that end the year as being one of the choicest picks. Pick it up now.
Another of Chastain and Mencks previous incarnations is available on the Hey Wimpus!: The Early Recordings Of... set. Now Ive not heard it myself yet, but I think its essentially the same material released in the early 90s by the Subway label as Choo Choo Train. Now I vaguely remember Choo Choo Train as being another one of those lovely dumb sounding bubblegum Pop bands like The Flatmates (thats a compliment, in case you were wondering), and Id really like to hear this reissued set. Certainly Im sure that groups like Choo Choo Train and Flatmates must have influenced The Frenchmen, whose Sorry We Ruined Your Party album (Claire records) played a fair bit round these parts during the summer. Hell, they even do a storming version of the Flatmates Tell me Why if its proof you needed Now I have no idea why I never mentioned it before, but its one of those records thats been sitting out for months, doing the rounds of the various resting places in the Geek Lair: yellow desk to white table to top of the record player to the pile on comics shelf number 1 and back to the yellow table each time gathering a I should really write something about this cos it rules mumble from within. So now Im saying it: The Frenchmen rule for the 25 minutes it takes for these 12 tracks to Snap, Crackle and POP! (insert other indiepop clichés here at will they are sure to be spot on target!) their way into your heart. The Frenchmen remind me of the first time I heard Tiger Trap, Talulah Gosh, Beat Happening, Cub, Henrys Dress and a hundred and one others, and that should be more than good enough for anyone. The Frenchmen make Pop music for everyone who hates pop music, rock music for everyone who hates Rock music. And what could be simpler than that?

Transcribe Podcast
|This is out of date! See Fanscribed notes for notes on the new software for transcription.
You are here because you're interested in how to transcribe podcasts or you'd like to help or something. We've been discussing podcast transcription in this MeTa thread and here are some things we think will work well for transcription purposes.
Wiki page setup
The first person to work on a transcription for any particular podcast should do a few simple things
- create the page for the podcast transcription (see the main podcast page for examples)
- link the transcription page to the main podcast page
- set up sections on the transcription page corresponding to chunks of time (example below) so that people can edit individual sections with minimal edit conflicts
Subsequent people to work on a podcast transcription should check the credits section to see which sections aren't currently being worked on, put their name in the credits section before you start work on a section, and just go to it. A few tips:
- Save your work -- don't just preview -- often.
- put your name in the credits section so people know who is working in a given section.
- Feel free to leave a placeholder (like ???) if you don't understand something, or ask the person who said it
- Removing ums and ahs and erms not only makes your job easier, it makes the mods sound smarter! Plus, it's easier to read, so consider that.
- It's not legal transcription. Do the best job you can, but don't stress out about it.
- People may change the transcription you make, it's a wiki after all. Make sure you're okay with that.
- When you save your section of the wiki page, note that if you have any links, you'll have to enter a capcha, just to verify you're not a spambot. (It's easy to forget & go on browsing without finishing the save.)
- Have fun, and thanks!
These are two pieces of software that people have used in transcribing podcasts.
- Transcriber - open source and multiplatform
- Express Scribe - free and multi-platform
Example Sections
Remove the space at the beginning of each line and copy/paste the text into a new transcription page.
A transcript for [***insert metatalk URL here*** insert name of podcast here]. ==Intro== (Start to 3:00) Intro music ==Section== (3:01 to 5:00) ==Section== (5:01 to 10:00) ==Section== (10:01 to 15:00) == Credits == * Minutes 0 to 3 - * Minutes 3 to 5 -
repeat as needed until all the time is sectioned out. Once the sections are more fleshed out, the headers can be repositioned and replaced to be headers for the different sections of the site that are discussed, or other appropriate sectioning.

Too good not to post it...a photo of Suki Poitier (third from the left) modelling for Ossie Clark's Quorum in 1968. I am not sure whether the male models are also wearing Ossie Clark's designs, but, whoever made them, these are very fine examples of the Peacock Style (gent on the far right, that coat is amazing!) and psychedelic/posh hippie style (two other models).

For the first time in a while, I took a view from my client's position. It was quite an experience, to be just assisting my clients, not as a builder, but as a designer.
We had all sorts of wild experiences starting from tile selections, to protecting the internet cable, to the new shell and watering it, and the plumbing trenches. We had a few emotional ups and downs. We had dinner and discussions to try and work out a location for a covered patio, while the pool was under construction.
A lot of clients do not know what to expect when they commence a huge project. This was the second largest project, compared to their house construction.
We expect to achieve these images in real 3-D.
Jennifer and I share a lot of the experiences, while Scott is working. He has the easy part. He just pays for the project. Jenn and I work very hard at making things happen.
So, I am not actually building the patio structure, but I am involved in making sure that my clients understand what they need to do for its preparation (a future project).
My role is a designer not a builder. I actually enjoy designing more than building, because of mud and noises, which I prefer to avoid. I love the progress and I marvel at the work! Subcontractors are remarkable.
I worked hard to prevent the cutting of the internet line. Generally, the pool builder is not responsible for cutting the lines. Normally, the lines are cut, at least 80% of the time. So, oh my goodness, when Scott discovered that that would happen, he was outraged. So Jenn and I worked together to save their connection and save at least $200!

(condition) ? /* value to return if condition is true */
: /* value to return if condition is false */ ;
syntax is not a "shorthand if" operator (the
? is called the conditional operator) because you cannot execute code in the same manner as if you did:
if (condition) {
/* condition is true, do something like echo */
else {
/* condition is false, do something else */
As of PHP 7, this task can be performed simply by using the Null coalescing operator like this :
<?php // Fetches the value of $_GET['user'] and returns 'nobody' // if it does not exist.
$username = $_GET['user'] ?? 'nobody';// This is equivalent to:
$username = isset($_GET['user']) ? $_GET['user'] : 'nobody';// Coalescing can be chained: this will return the first // defined value out of $_GET['user'], $_POST['user'], and // 'nobody'.
$username = $_GET['user'] ?? $_POST['user'] ?? 'nobody';?>

For someone who dislikes Karaoke as much as I do, I sure spend a lot of time repairing Karaoke equipment.
I finished repairing 3 Karaoke microphones and a DVD/Karaoke player last night at 3:30am.
As a side note - If you do any amount of delicate soldering, it would benefit you to get a good solder station and not try to use the crappy chinese stick soldering irons. Crappy tips, crappy temp control, crappy overall.
As another side note - try not to buy any electronics with a lot of knobs and switches. The knobs are potentiometers, and tend to go bad here because of the humidity and dust. Switches corrode and stop working. And especially - STAY AWAY FROM CHINESE ELECTRONICS (at least those not built for well-known companies who don't scrimp and use cheap parts). Carp, carp, carp!
PROMAC, MEGAMAXX, ACE, PENSONIC, and FUKUDA are a few brands to avoid.
Also note: at the Pure Gold, you can buy replacement remotes for most of the popular brands for under p100 - most likely p50. Don't buy from the street vendors that walk around the neighborhoods - they will charge from p100-150 or more for the same remotes.

The Top 3 Ways to Get Ahead in the New Call of Duty WWII Game
The creators of the game even introduced a new War mode that requires your close friends to help you out throughout the missions. But what's really blew the mind of the gamers is the newest multiplayer gameplay which has been a blast with the latest version. Certainly, you want to get ahead of your friends in this game since the time you have bought it and hopefully, this article will give you some awesome tips to quickly advance in this game.
Tip #1: Keep Your Friends and Teammates closer to you
The latest Call of Duty WWII requires you to combat with your friends and teammates. You will have to depend and rely on them in order to successfully win the game. You can easily replenish your health, ammo, grenades and other miscellaneous stuffs by simply asking them from your friends. Do not move away from your squad or you will surely taste a horrible death. One head shot and you are totally done. So, it is important that you all work together as a team with the new Single player game.
Tip #2: Modifying Playing Strategy in War Mode
There's tons of variations introduced in the latest War mode and you cannot stick to one single gaming strategy. With tiny maps like Caratan, you will be required to carry short range guns and weapons while for larger maps you will have to take your long range weapons. War Modes are changing drastically and sure you will need to change your weapons and playing strategies according to the requirements. Depending whether you are attacking or defending a building, your objective should be set and you must save the best weapons for the War Mode.
Tip #3: Max Your XP First
You will get daily 2 challenges that will help you get a 25% XP boost. One for the weapon XP and the other one is for soldier's XP. So, always use them before proceeding with the gameplay to get maximum boost. The challenges rotate so you can easily get six dailies within 24 hours and three weeklies in 7 days. Each time you finish a task, you will get some XP boost, so the sole target is to maximize your XP first. Additionally, completing any weapon collection will give you special cosmetic weapon variation that will add more XP to your gaming profile.
If you are still struggling with advancing in the game, then the best thing will be to apply call of duty hacks. You can easily activate the aim bots, wall hacks and any other necessary cheat hacks that are required to advance in the game. IWantCheats provides all the required cheats and hacks that are necessary to get ahead in the game and surely, you will enjoy the game more than ever.
Hopefully you guys found this guide useful and don't forget to share it with your fellow gamers.

What to Pack for the Seasons
When travelling to Iceland you should bring along lightweight woolens, a sweater or cardigan, a rainproof (weatherproof) coat and sturdy walking shoes. Travelers who are camping or heading into the interior will need warm underwear and socks, rubber boots and a warm sleeping bag. Here is a sample packing list of items you should bring with you regardless of the time of year you're travelling:
- Fleece jacket/lightweight wool sweater
- Rainproof/windproof jacket and rain pants
- Waterproof and sturdy walking shoes with a good tread/grip
- Gloves, scarve and a hat (toque/beanie)
- Swimsuit and a towel
- Thermal underwear
- Warm socks (specially for winter and highlands travel)
- Rucksack or small backpack for daily essentials
During summer the nights are bright all over Iceland. In the month of June the sun never fully sets in the north. Bear in mind, however, that the sun at midnight is not as warm as at midday, so bring along a sweater and also prepare for wind and rain because the weather in Iceland is unpredictable the whole year round. You might want to bring eye shades if you find it difficult to sleep with the light of the midnight sun and it´s recommended to bring sunglasses and sunscreen.
Despite what many think, temperatures rarely drop far below freezing during the Winter in Iceland but an insulated jacket is recommended along with ice cleats, ice grips or anti-slip soles to give shoes better traction.

|Review: Innerwish - No Turning Back
|No Turning Back
Label: Ulterium Records
Year released: 2010
Duration: 54:34
Tracks: 12
Genre: Power Metal
Rating: 4.5/5
Review online: July 2, 2010
Reviewed by: Bruce Dragonchaser
for:No Turning Back
Rated 4/5 (80%) (18 Votes)
I'd thought we'd lost Greek Power Metallers Innerwish to the same depths that took bands like Ironware, Wyvern and Guardians of Time, especially with it being four years since the band unleashed their third, critically acclaimed Inner Strength opus. Thankfully the band are back, sounding stronger than ever with their best release, the wonderful No Turning Back, and I think after people get a load of this the title will seem very apt indeed.
I've always had a soft spot for these guys. Ever since I snapped up their 2004 sophomore effort Silent Faces I've enjoyed their odd mix of US-styled guitar work (a sharp Jag Panzer/Primal Fear mix) with their pompous German/Swedish-esque Euro melodies. In the beginning, the band was a heavier outfit, but their last album saw them move into the happy Power Metal sphere, and that's where they have stayed. With a crisp Nordstrom/Finnvox production, No Turning Back is a rocket ride of catchy choruses, bitching solos, melodic riffing, and clear, high-reaching vocals courtesy of Babis Alexandropoulos (wow, that's a long autograph!), whose once-timid vocals have improved a hundred-fold, sounding strong and confident in a way they never have before.
With songs like pumping opener "The Sign Of Our Lives", the infectious "Chosen One", the epic "Sirens" and the almost perfect speed-fest "Full Of Lust", Innerwish have made a great Power Metal album here, one that is a must-have for fans of Gamma Ray, Heavenly, HammerFall, and Firewind. There aren't many bands doing this stuff anymore, and it's great to hear it done with so much passion and conviction. And what about Ulterium Records, huh? First the excellent Sinbreed album and now the new Innerwish. What's next? I've got my fingers crossed for the new Morifade...

A lot of people are skeptical of man weaves and hair replacement. They assume that the products on the market won't be able to deliver natural results. If you're interested in replacing the hair that you've lost but aren't sure that the products you're interested in will look right on your head, you'll want to work with a man weave specialist.
Specialists Know All About Man Weaves
A specialist will have had extensive experience with weaves. They'll be able to apply that knowledge when they assist you, and they'll be able to find something that you'll be able to wear without any issues.

When You Work With A Specialist, You Can Avoid Common Mistakes
A lot of people are dissatisfied with the look of weaves because they're not wearing them correctly, or because they've chosen the wrong type of weave for their hair type. These mistakes aren't unusual, but they can be a source of frustration. If you partner with a specialist, they'll be able to help you to avoid these kinds of mistakes.
You won't want a minor-but-common issue to keep you from enjoying all of the benefits of man weaves. When you work with an expert, you'll be able to sidestep the problems that most people experience. You'll be able to wear your weave perfectly and get the results that you wanted.
A Specialist Can Help You To Navigate Your Options
When it comes to man weave Hair, there is no shortage of choices available. In fact, you might feel a little bit overwhelmed when you realize just how many different options you have. If you feel as though you have too many choices, then the right expert will be able to help you to narrow things down.
A specialist will be able to point out options that are a good fit for you, and they will help you to avoid weaves that won't work well on your head. With a specialist, picking the perfect weave should be simple.
Working With A Specialist Doesn't Have To Be Expensive
One of the main reasons people avoid hiring specialists is the cost. They worry that they can't afford to pay a professional to help them find what they need. If you're in this position, you should know that working with specialists doesn't actually have to be expensive at all.
Beyond that, working with a specialist will help to ensure that the money you're spending on a weave is being well spent. You'll get more value out of your weave if you're able to find one that really works for you.
It's Easy To Connect With A Hair unit Expert
If you do decide that you want to hire a specialist, it shouldn't be too hard for you to find someone to help you. Working with a specialist should actually be easy. You should be able to find someone that can assist you as you search for your weave.
Once you find the right specialist, you'll be able to get help at any time. You'll be able to talk to your specialist about what you want from them, and you'll make sure you have plenty of support.
If you're looking into hair solutions, you don't have to find a weave on your own. If you work with a man weave specialist, you can expect this experience to be a lot simpler for you.

The main rules of taking care and maintenance of upholstery fabrics
Complying with a few rules mentioned below will allow to maintain the proper characteristics and looks of fabrics for a long time and will guarantee full satisfaction of their use. Remember! The mentioned below rules are only guidelines to taking care and maintaining upholstery fabrics. Different types of fabrics might require using different than general. methods of cleaning and maintenance.
AVOID DUST Remove dust, stains and dirt immediately.
CLEAN ON A REGULAR BASIS Minimum ones a week clean a fabric — using a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner with a tool for furniture cleaning. While cleaning avoid excessive rubbing and vacuum cleaning with high suction power not to damage fiber of a fabric. Comb pile fabrics on regular basis with a soft brush, particularly in spots of high utilization.
KEEP AWAY FROM SUN RAYS Avoid exposing to sun rays.
KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT SOURCES Avoid exposing to heat sources such as for instance a radiator or a stove. Keep the minimum distance of 30 cm from heat sources.
DO NOT DRY FABRIC WITH A HAIRDRYER Fabrics cannot be dried by means of heat sources such as a heater, a hairdryer or an iron, etc.
CLEAN ANY DIRT IMMEDIATELY In case of any dirt (stains) clean it immediately not allowing it to penetrate into fibers of fabric.
• REMOVING LIQUID In case of spilling any liquid, clear it immediately with a paper towel or an absorbent cloth (not rubbing liquid in the fabric), then wipe the cleaning surface with a soft sponge (cloth) and leave it to dry (in case of fabric), or wipe it dry (in case of synthetic leather).
• REMOVING SOLID SUBSTANCE In case of getting the fabric dirty with any solid substance, immediately clear the solid dirt (for instance with teaspoon) not rubbing the substance in the fabric and then wipe the cleaning surface with a moist, soft sponge (cloth) and leave it to dry (in case of a fabric), or wipe it dry (in case of synthetic leather). While cleaning the surface, wipe it with a cloth making smooth, round movements from an edge to the center of the stain. After each rub turn the cloth to the clean side to avoid rubbing the stain over the fabric. If the stain stays on the fabric, repeat cleaning procedure using moist, soft sponge, soap up with a white or a gray soap. After cleaning, remove the rest of the soap and leave the fabric to dry (in case of fabric), or wipe it dry (in case of synthetic Leather).
AVOID GETTING WET Do not expose fabrics to excessive or longterm moistness or wet.
KEEP AWAY FROM ANIMALS Keep away from pets which might damage the structure of a fabric.
DO NOT COVER FABRIC To avoid the pilling effect do not cover a fabric with pile bedspreads and blankets. The pilling effect comes into being when fibers of bedspread join with fibers of an upholstery fabric.
Additional rules of taking care and maintenance of synthetic leather (eco-leather)
PERFORM A TEST Before beginning synthetic Leather cleaning, check on some not visible spot, how the fabric reacts to cleaning agent.
BE CAREFUL WITH CLEANING AGENTS The use of cleaning agents might cause color changes of a fabric. One can use white or gray soap to eliminate heavy dirt. The contact with cosmetic cream, deodorants, solvents, ammonia and chemical agents with alcohol and kerosene causes discoloration of synthetic leather.
CLEAN ANY DIRT IMMEDIATELY Clean any dirt that came into being using clean, dry or wet cloth, if needed use a small amount of gray or white soap. After cleaning wash off the rest of the soap and immediately wipe it dry (do not leave it to dry spontaneously). While cleaning fabrics and synthetic leather (eco-leather) do not use:
• rough and hard sponges, cloth or brushes
• agents for dry cleaning
• stain removers, bleaching substances, washing agents (powders, liquids, gels), petroleum-derived agents, chemical agents with alcohol, solvents, ammonia, nail polish removers and disinfectants
• waxing agents, moisturizing creams
The above mentioned substances might permanently damage fabric or synthetic Leather structure. They might cause discoloration, scratches, cracks and even entire damage (burn off) of a fabric or synthetic Leather. All fabrics and synthetic Leather must be kept clean. Heavy stains are not allowed. All kinds of stains - greasy, from ballpoint pen, felt-tip pen, from permanently dyeing agents — are very hard to remove from upholstery fabrics. The warranty does not cover grimes and damages that came into being due to contact with clothes, bedspreads, blankets, etc.
