The European Union's migrant strategy has suffered a major setback with Italy refusing to freely accept people rescued at sea and Libya spurning a proposal for asylum processing centres.
The salvoes follow a fractious EU summit in June which agreed to set up "disembarkation platforms" outside the bloc to process migrants after Italy's new populist government said it was closing its ports.
"Italy does not want to be the only country where migrants saved at sea by its own naval units disembark," Foreign Minister Enzo Moavero Milanesi said in a letter to EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini.
The Italian position and its implications will be discussed at a meeting later Friday by member states in Brussels, EU sources said.
Libyan Prime Minister Fayez al-Sarraj meanwhile rejected the EU proposal for asylum processing centres in his country, saying: "We are strictly against Europe officially placing illegal migrants who are no longer wanted in the EU in our country."
"We also won't agree on any deals with EU money about taking in more illegal migrants," the Libyan premier told Germany's Bild newspaper in an interview published on Friday.
Sarraj said European leaders should instead put pressure on migrants' origin countries to stop them embarking on their journey in the first place.
The proposed centres were to operate in cooperation with the UN refugee agency and the International Organisation for Migration (OIM).
Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia were also approached by the EU but have already refused to host such centres, where authorities would distinguish between economic migrants and asylum seekers admissible into the EU.
Albania has also ruled itself out with Prime Minister Edi Rama saying that such centres mean "dumping desperate people somewhere like toxic waste that no one wants".
Most of the migrants are from the Middle East, Africa and South Asia.
Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte has written to European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker saying his country would no longer take in migrants plucked from the Mediterranean until other member states accepted some of them.
Over the last decade, the Italian coastguard has coordinated the rescue of hundreds of thousands of migrants off the coast of Libya, in many cases pulling them from the water themselves in treacherous conditions.
But as of June, they have been ordered to transfer calls for help and reports of boats in distress to the Libyan capital Tripoli.
Juncker wrote back to Conte saying "these ad hoc solutions will not be feasible in the long term," according to a copy of a letter seen by the AFP news agency.
But Juncker agreed to try and identify nations that would shelter rescued migrants until a definitive framework was agreed upon as to who would take charge of them.
'Horrific' detention centres
June was the deadliest month in the Mediterranean in recent years with the IOM reporting some 564 deaths or disappearances, despite the fact that overall departures have dropped sharply since the summer of 2017.
Meanwhile, Sarraj also rejected claims from Spanish rescue group Proactiva Open Arms that the Libyan coastguard saved other migrants on board a dinghy but not two women and a little boy.
The child and one of the women were found dead when Spanish rescuers arrived, but the other woman was saved.
"These are outrageous accusations, and they are not true. Our coastguards have already clarified this," said Sarraj, who heads the UN-backed unity government in Tripoli.
"Every day, we save hundreds of people on the coast of Libya. Our ships are active non-stop," he said, stressing that Tripoli needs more technical and financial aid to improve its rescue missions.
Under a controversial deal with the EU, Libyan coastguards intercept migrants trying to cross the Mediterranean.
But the UN has slammed the policy as "inhuman", noting that the migrants are simply brought back to "horrific" detention centres in Libya.
The European Court of Human Rights also opposes the repatriation of migrants to Libya on the ground that they could face rights abuse.
The European Commission, the EU's executive arm, will discuss in the coming weeks proposals for controlled holding centres for migrants in member states and cooperation in rescue efforts, spokeswoman Natasha Bertaud said earlier this week.

212 is a biannual magazine based out of Istanbul, published and distributed internationally. It contains short fiction and long-form reportage; distinctive photo essays and revealing interviews. Even though it was born in the city where east meets west (as the love-worn cliche goes), the magazine seeks to transcend the loaded dichotomies of Istanbul's favourite metaphor, and extends its gaze far beyond the region.
The name "212" comes from the area code for Istanbul, but it also happens to be the area code for New York – a piece of misdirection that's characteristic of the magazine's ethos: as soon as you try too hard to close in on your subject it has a habit of defying you. Rather than pigeonholing ideas into narrow parameters, 212's contributors trace connections that will surprise and delight.
Each issue is centred around a loose theme and has two editions: English and Turkish. 212 aims to be as challenging as it is influential – to provide an inclusive space for ideas and perspectives to mix without prejudice and better interrogate social, artistic and cultural phenomena from the region and around the world.

Article Text
BACKGROUND: The value of measuring airway responsiveness in asthma research is currently limited by the number of different methods used by different investigators, by the lack of a standardised method of expressing precision, and by an inability to equate the results of one method with those of another. METHODS: Two pairs of measurements of airway responsiveness to methacholine were performed in 20 asthmatic subjects, one pair using a dosimeter method (AR-D) and one pair using the conventional Wright nebuliser tidal breathing method (AR-W). The two methods normally use different techniques for quantifying changing levels in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) after each dose of methacholine (the mean of the highest three of six measurements for AR-D, the lower of two measurements for AR-W), and different techniques for expressing measurements of airway responsiveness (the provoking dose (PD20) and the provoking concentration (PC20) respectively responsible for a 20% decrement in FEV1). RESULTS: The coefficient of repeatability (and hence precision) for the measurement of airway responsiveness was significantly better for AR-D (3.0) than for AR-W (10.9), but the technique for quantifying FEV1 contributed more to this than the technique for delivering methacholine. A PC20 of 1 mg/ml with AR-W was equivalent to a PD20 of 103 micrograms with AR-D. CONCLUSIONS: It is practical as well as desirable to compare the precision of different techniques for the measurement of airway responsiveness and to derive conversion factors so that results may be equated.

The Corley Conspiracy

"Remember the two-way televisions in George Orwell's 1984? The ones which watched you back? Well the country that brought Orwell into the world has made his nightmare follow after him"
Welcome to the suspicious world of Mike Corley.
Under threat from those in power, Corley is the victim of "interactive watching": his every move is being monitored and "they" terrorise him through radio and television broadcasts.
Based on a true story that unfolded on Usenet bulletin boards, The Corley Conspiracy is both disturbing and darkly comic: a gripping portrayal of a paranoid mind that raises unsettling questions about a society under surveillance.
Download the Programme (PDF)
"Corley's story is one that needs to be told, and it is told using music that needs to be listened to. If you're in London, if you're listening, go."
Guy Dammann / The Guardian
Tim Benjamin's The Corley Conspiracy is based on the paranoid Usenet postings of one Mike Corley during the 1990s, and the responses of other users to him, which ranged from the credulous to the sceptical to the downright angry. Some believed he was a schizophrenic in need of help, others that he was a hoaxer and spammer, and the possibility was even raised that "he" was some kind of psychology experiment being carried out on the Usenet community.
Whatever the truth, Corley's ramblings and the public's responses are at once both disturbing and darkly comic; this work explores Corley's mind and raises questions about a modern society constantly under surveillance.
Corley's story is told in seven scenes, structured musically as a Prologue, a Concerto, a set of five Variations, and an Epilogue (which is a reprise of the Prologue). Unusually for an "opera", all the voice parts are spoken but unlike a play, the music is continuous and relates strongly to the text.
The bulk of the text (by Sean Starke and Tim Benjamin) is adapted from Usenet posts from 1995 to 1997; the work ends, significantly, in the early days of May 1997, shortly after New Labour's landslide General Election victory.
The Corley Conspiracy was commissioned by the 2007 London Design Festival.

Excessive shedding can become a real issue for any pet owner. Depending on the dog breed, there are some that shed more than others. Dog owners often complain about the amount of shedding they encounter from their furry friends.
We all love our four-legged friends but constant shedding can become an issue for most and sometimes a health issue for those with allergies. Thankfully, there are lots of ways you can help prevent constant shedding. If you're a house proud owner then it's worth researching what dog breed is suitable and sheds less.
Fortunately, there are many things you can do to help eliminate the amount your dog sheds. If you are considering buying a dog or adopting a dog, then you must accept that all dogs shed to some extent, it's just that some dog breeds shed more than others.
Listed below are five top tips to help stop excessive shedding.
Add A healthy oil to your dog's diet
There are many healthy oils you can add to your dog's diet to help keep their skin in optimum condition. Coconut oil has lots of health benefits that are beneficial to humans as well as dogs. Using coconut oil on your dog's skin can help with itching, allergies and reduce allergic reactions. As well as helping with the annoying itch, it can also help to improve their coat making it glossy and shiny.
Flaxseed Oil is also an excellent choice to naturally treat your dog's coat and improve their skin condition. To start with, add a very small amount to your dog's food and after a few weeks, you will notice the improvement of your dog's shedding.
Fish Oil can also help with your dog's coat. Fish oil contains DHA; EPA and omega-3 fatty acids that can help treat lots of different health problems in dogs. Several vets use fish oil to help with a wide range of allergies and conditions; such as arthritis and kidney disease. Fish oil really does help with excessive shedding with dogs. If you're unsure of how much to give your dog then it's worth checking with the vet. As a general rule, you can give your dog a 1000mg per 30 pounds of their body weight. You should always consult your vets should you decide to give them more.
Brush your dog often
Brushing your dog on a regular basis helps keep your dog's coat shedding to a minimum. Brushing your dog will remove most of their loose fur before it falls off and sticks to your furniture or clothes. To get the best results it is worth investing in an appropriate dog brush that will give you maximum results and also not rip or mat their coat. You can find a wide variety of dog brushes at any reputable pet shopping centre. There are different brushes that will suit the coat of different dog breeds. Speak to your local pet store for the best advice.
Keeping your dog hydrated
If your dog isn't hydrated enough then this could result in their hair dropping out in larger quantities. Not providing your dog with fresh water will result in them becoming dehydrated and suffering from a dry mouth, as well as becoming lethargic and suffering from a loss of appetite. It can also lead to depression and excessive shedding. When your dog becomes dehydrated this can be very dangerous for their health and you must replace the minerals and potassium that they've lost. Speaking to your vet is the best cause of action as they can help prescribe something suitable for your dog.
Regular baths
Giving your dog frequent baths is a great way to eliminate excess hair. Normally, it's recommended to bathe your dog twice a month with dog shampoo and conditioner. A great way to prevent access shedding and soothe your dog's coat is to use an oatmeal shampoo. Oatmeal shampoo will gently cleanse and condition your dog's coat and give it the nourishment it needs. If your dog's coat tends to tangle and their fur becomes matted, the best way of maintaining their coat would be to apply an oatmeal conditioner and then gently brush through their coat removing all the excess hair and dander. After this, give your dog a gentle blow-dry and then brush them again; removing any remaining hair and dander.
Flea and worm prevention
Protecting your dog against fleas, ticks and worms should be part of their general health and wellbeing. Dogs that are left unprotected can become very unwell and develop lots of health issues, as well as thinning and balding of their coat because of constant scratching. If you've noticed your dog is suffering from any of these issues, then you must visit the vet immediately. You can also try home remedies to help with the itch. Lemon spray and rosemary can help alleviate the itch. A visit to your local vets will help matters and they can prescribe a suitable flea, tick and worm prevention to help protect your dog.
Finally, with any dog breed, you have to expect a certain amount of shedding. Following the above suggestions will help to eliminate excess shedding but won't stop it completely. Another very important point to consider is that most dog breeds shed more during a change of season. To keep on top of this, give them a daily brush outdoors and increase your cleaning routine and hopefully, it will be less noticeable. On the positive side, the hair removed from your dog can be left outdoors in your local park where the birds will collect and use to help build their nests.

(To my FaceBook friends, Bryan posts photos of his gourmet meals; I'm tagged in some of those. We supply him with lamb, chicken, and occasionally pork and turkey. He transforms them into incredible meals.)
Then, on Mother's Day itself, I was sick and didn't feel like celebrating... EXCEPT that I indulged myself to a rare fiber order. Spin-Sales had an ad for Stansborough Grey fiber - something I;ve been coveting since I got interested in Gotland sheep. The Stansborough folks are the ones who provided fabric for the Lord of the Rings Magical Elven Cloaks, and other costumes in both the LOTR and Narnia movies. Last year, we talked seriously about importing some of the Stansborough Grey sheep to cross with our Gotlands. The Eldridges bred their Gotland sheep over the decades to have a finer fleece and retain the luster of the original flock, resulting in a separate breed - the Stansborough Grey. At least for now, we put that effort on hold pending financial and other matters.
So, I went to the International Fleeces website - http://www.internationalfleeces.com/ - looking for the Stansborough roving and found it! Threshold crossed, I added some Shetland/Silk top and Swedish Gotland top to keep the Stansborough company. I ordered 3 ounces of each - enough for a hat, mittens, scarf, bag, or other small article. After all, it was a Mother's Day present to myself.
The box arrived in about a week, and opened, yielded not 3 but 4 bags of beautiful fiber.
(btw, the background is a Gotland lamb pelt from the UK. It lives on our bed and I get to pet it every morning and evening.)
I opened each one and fondled the contents.
The Swedish Gotland (above) is a fiber addict's delight! The hand is silky, the luster wonderful and, the top looks like it'll be a breeze to spin. The steely blue-grey color is one of the unique characteristics of the Gotland breed.
I opened the Shetland/Silk (also above) next. This is a blend I've heard of and been intrigued by. It's "black" Shetland with white Tussah silk. It has a bit of a bronze cast to the black, very typical of Shetland "black". This, too, is very clean, well produced top that looks wonderful to spin. The hand is soft and it should make striking yarn.
Next, I opened the Stansborough Grey Roving (a trend - this photo is above). Well, hmmmm. It is soft feeling, and it is a nice clear grey color. I didn't find the luster I was expecting and the roving is a bit rustic. It's more of an amorphous blob in several pieces than evenly drafted roving, and it could be cleaner. It has more resilience than silkiness. To my hand it feels more like a very nice Shetland than a Gotland derivative. It's very nice, just not quite what I expected. I look forward to spinning it! Perhaps as a yarn it will have more luster and Gotland character.
The fourth, and bonus, bag is a lovely sample of recycled Sari Silk from India in vibrant colors (this is a recording - photo above). I've been wanting to try spinning this and the colors are lovely with the clear greys. Thank you, Talia!
I am very pleased with my newest fibers! Doing business with Talia of International Fleeces was enjoyable and hassle free. (No affiliation - guess I need to include that :-) I'd buy from her again, and recommend you take a look.
My plan is to spin these up when I get a few moments between lambing and farm chores... oh, and playing on the internet ;-)

Brand: Maton
Instrument Categories: Electric, Guitars, SOLD, Solidbody
In North America, guitars like the Australian-built Maton MS500 Mastersound are fairly rare, though they are common in their home countries. This is often due to three factors, none of which reflect quality – distance (shipping costs), import duties and distribution chains.
Here we're treated to a Maton MS500 solidbody electric, built during 2001 at the Maton shop in Box Hill, Victoria, Australia – near Melbourne and Port Phillip Bay. Like other Maton products we've seen, it is well thought out, very well built and finished, and incorporates indigenous wood species wherever possible.
On the Maton site, the body is listed as Silver Silkwood and the neck Queensland Maple with an Indian Rosewood fingerboard. Silver Silkwood is the common name for Flindersia acuminata, but it's also sometimes called either 'Silver Maple' or 'Putt's Pine'. The tree is native to Australia, and like Queensland Maple is not a threatened species.
However, on inspection, neither the body or neck appear to be Maple, but may be Australian Blackwood (Acacia melanoxylon), another native tree which Maton does use on various models.
Normally, the Maton MS500 has a scale length of 25.5 inches (647.7mm). This example has a shorter scale, 24.88 inches or 622mm; slightly longer than a typical Gibson and slightly shorter than a PRS. The Queensland Maple neck carries an Indian Roseood fingerboard with Mother of Pearl dot position markers. Interestingly, the headstock uses a graft joint, as early Martin guitars did – the volute, or Dart on a Martin, was originally part of that joint. Martin still uses the dart on 'Vintage' style models, but without the grafted joint.
For hardware, the Maton MS500 uses a set of Kluson Deluxe style tuners at the head, and a stop tailpiece – ABR style bridge combination. Here, the original bridge has been replaced with one sourced through Godin. For electronics, a pair of Maton pickups are used; a MVHB (Maton Vintage Humbucker) at the bridge and a MVSC (Maton Vintage Single Coil. The controls include Master Volume and Tone, a sliding coil tap switch for the bridge pickup, and a rotary pickup selector switch.
This unusual guitar is in good working order, though its dark green finish has a few dents and dings, not surprising for a 20 year old instrument. There is a small amount of lacquer checking along the back of the neck. The guitar plays well and has minimal fret wear.
This Maton MS500 is sold without case.
More From The Builder On The Maton MS500:
"In 1958 Bill May (Maton founder) introduced the Maton MS500 Mastersound series to the world. Played by some of the biggest names in the business including George Harrison, the guitar has been prized by many for its revolutionary design and extreme playability. The tradition continues today with the re-issue of the MS500 series, which has been extended to include the world class MS2000 carve top solid body that even Bill would be proud of today.
Classic shape, vintage tone. An incredibly versatile guitar suited to almost any sound or player. If it's Classic vintage tone, or the big bite cut through required for the loudest stages on today's Rock'N' Roll circuit, the MS500 delivers.
The construction of the MS500 starts with the Silver Silkwood body and a bolt on Queensland Maple neck.Rosewood fingerboard with Dot inlays, 25.5 inch scale and 22 frets, a Maton MVHB humbucker (coil tap) Bridge pickup and the Maton MVSC single coil for the neck, controlled by single volume and tone knobs, Coil Tap Switch, and a vintage styled 3 way chrome Rotary Selector Switch with settings of Cool, Mid-Way and Hi-Fi. Chrome stop tailpiece and bridge anchor the strings to the body that finished in Maton's custom gloss.
The MS500 is a solid, beautifully crafted guitar that is built to last."

I love this expression: the wonder of little souls. I just came across it in Mitch Albom's book Finding Chika: A Little Girl, An Earthquake, and the Making of a Family. It's a sweet, poignant book that's reinforcing the nostalgic mood I've had lately. Last weekend the kids and I went through my three large boxes of keepsakes in the garage: pictures, awards, yearbooks, trinkets, poems, and other assorted items from my childhood, high school and college years. Looking at all those things reminds me of my childlike wonder and enthusiasm for life.
Interacting with Sienna and Mateo, I'm constantly in awe of their imagination and wonderment. They can make up a game or imaginary world out of anything! As an adult, I have a hard time entering into that world. I can tell Sienna notices this about me. When I allow myself to be carried away by her story or engage in a silly game without reservation, she usually will say something like: "I love it when you're silly, Mom!"
A few nights ago, the kids were playing in Teo's room for awhile. Sienna ran to the living room and said, "Mom, come play with us!" I put down my book and joined them.
Teo has a lot of stuffed animals that all reside in his bed. They had sorted them by size. Sienna had the small set and Teo had the large set. "You get the medium sized ones!" Sienna informed me. I was then given a plastic sword and a Marine Corps dress uniform hat from an old Halloween costume. Our "troops" of stuffed animals were fighting a wicked witch and eventually the "battle" resulted in stuffed animals flying through the air. A few times the silliness caused hysterical giggles over those types of things you "had to be there" to find amusing.
The validation of my engagement in their fun came as Sienna exclaimed, "I love it when you're silly!" I do too. But, I don't often go there and I've been pondering why on and off ever since. It takes reaching a certain space of freedom and inhibition for me to join in imaginative play. Freedom from striving, accomplishing, keeping my interior world orderly. In other words, tapping into the childlike innocence and wonder that I am nostalgic for when I reminisce with old keepsakes.
The wonder of little souls is just this delightful aspect of childhood, isn't it? The ability to create an imaginative world with your sibling that isn't bound by the rational, realistic laws of nature or normative behavior. Stuffed bunnies can be Generals and kangaroos can dress up like Darth Vader.
Kids also bring that sense of wonder to the world around them, asking questions and exclaiming with delight when they discover something new or interesting. This just happened for Sienna and Mateo when they discovered a family of baby squirrels behind the fence in our backyard. I later found about 50 pictures on my cell phone of the squirrels!
Reflecting on his time with Chika, the Haitian little girl that became his daughter, Mitch Albom wrote to her:
"You put me on the other end of a magnifying glass or a toy telescope, and through those lenses, I could marvel at the world the way you did. You were an unfailing antidote to adult preoccupation.
All you had to say was, "Look!"
Look. It's one of the shortest sentences in the English language. But we don't really look, Chika. Not as adults. We look over. We glance. We move on.
You looked. Your eyes flickered with curiosity. You caught fireflies and asked if they had batteries. You unearthed a penny and asked if it was "treasure." And without prompting, you knew discovery should be shared." (pg. 90).
The adult world is a little boring these days. Being isolated as we continue to shelter in place, there is only so much we can do to be productive or relax within the confines of our homes. But, children can find things to marvel at on a walk around the block, in the backyard, in their bedrooms, or in the pages of a story. Engaging in their worlds of wonder can bring a little more innocence and fun to our adult experiences.
Albom's words struck me as so true: "Children wonder at the world. Parents wonder at their children's wonder. In so doing, we are all young together." (pg. 91).

Reviews"On BLEED, Jeff Pearce offers music created from the inside out. There is an immediacy to this album. It is arresting and isolating. Rather than blurring thought or easing stress, listening to Bleed brings your surroundings and your relationship to them into sharp focus. Like a chain-link fence against a slate-grey sky or the sharp reflection of city lights after a driving rain, the clarity of BLEED asks the listener to be present and at the center of their own human drama. It would be difficult for any observer to come away from these deep contents less than impressed.
Of the 13 tracks on BLEED, two are of the spacey and smooth category while the remaining compositions are composed, melodic vignettes of plucked electric echo-guitar, complete with introduction, chord motion, bridge and resolution. The opening track, "Autumn and Regret", sets the tone well. With its brisk pace, provided by the interlocking of picked strings and digital delay, the track wanders up, down and through pleasant, melodic arpeggiations. This piece gives the album life as we fall back in time and begin to experience a probing interpretation of a troubled past.
"False Hope" is placed about mid-album and is a walking paced, well structured composition filled out by reverberant sliding guitar tones; the trails of dry electric notes underscored by a curving tide of e-bowed strings. The remaining structured tracks are slow, methodic, melodic and multi-layered - drenched in reverb and ambiguities. On "Closure in the Rain", Pearce provides us with a glimpse into his more classic space-sound with a progression of processed and filtered guitar chord loops which give way to elasticly thin and fragile glissando guitar plottings. The mood of the album bottoms out with "Abandoned Playground", with its smooth waves of grey tones and back-lit clouds of reverb. It is here that Pearce explores the more bleak aspects of his music with a coloristic range that gives tone to color and depth to darkness. The remaining two tracks are uplifting, bright and soft by comparison (especially the concluding track, "The Last Secret"), but in the sense of one's reslove being set after some unharmonious encounter.
To attempt an album of this scope requires more than a passing knowledge of technology and music theory. On BLEED, Pearce succeeds in transforming deep personal memories into profound musical experiences. Although BLEED is a catharisis for the artist, ample space is left for the listener's own feelings to unfold."
--Chuck VanZyl, host of Star's End radio, WXPN Philadelphia
"Sublime. Jeff is one of my favorite composers at the moment. Instead of being an AMBIENT musician he's an ambient MUSICIAN. Jeff plays beautiful melancholy guitar treated with verb and delay with the utmost taste. Touchstones might be Satie, Tim Story, Patrick O'Hearn, but I wouldn't take those references too literally as Jeff has a touch of his own. There is a rare quality in a musician where on hearing their music you are effortlessly transported into a very deep place inside yourself which I believe can only happen when the composer is doing the same. There is a beautiful detached outer quality in the sustaining reverb, but his touch on the strings brings it inside so the music is simultaneously near and far away. Highly recommended."
--Paul Ellis, on the Beyond_EM mailing list
"Jeff Pearce is one of the top two electronic guitarists of all time. Years ago, saying that would have been blasphemy. To compare anyone to Robert Fripp, the acknowledged master and progenitor of the style, was unthinkable, let alone conscionable. Yet, in many ways Pearce has surpassed Fripp. Bleed encompasses and acknowledges those ways. Pearce wrote the music for this album after reading his diary from his teenage years. He has made no secret of the fact that these were troubled years for him. Thus, the compositions are dripping with all the angst and pain of inner-child demons. Pearce has put his heart and soul right on the front lines. Deep listeners will feel the confusion, loneliness, and isolation of adolescence along with the pain and fear of rejection and abandonment. Pearce has stated many times that he creates his atmospheres with only a guitar and a processor. He fibs, too. This masterpiece features all of his emotional courage and spiritual strength -- that is one of the ways in which he has surpassed Fripp. Pearce's compositional skills have also surpassed Fripp's. Pearce's willingness to let his audience into his heart and soul separates him from the rest of the crowd. In perhaps the strongest indicator of greatness, there are no discs even closely comparable to this masterwork. It rates a seven only because it has not had the test of time to be a nine. It is, quite simply, in a league of its own."
--Jim Brenholts / All Music Guide
"Autumn and Regret twinkles with more "sweet" than "bitter", though shades of melancholy do hover over the introspective tones. Slow jangles amid spacious haze rise like glimmers of hope as seen Through Tears.
Many pieces, like In Weaker Moments, evoke broad expanses with lots of glowing cloud-filled skyspace. Oozing with molten gold, the gleams of Unrequited (2:40) linger like a sorrowful memory. High sheens soar above False Hope and its pensively plucked strands.
Closure in the Rain shifts into a more-amorphous mode as deep brooding energies rise with formidable power and vastness. Ominous yet entrancing, Abandoned Playgrounds (5:01)also dives into industrial-strength murkiness, engulfed in steaming grey drones. The Last Secret is told in a final stream of hazy plucks which bespeckle a deeper hovering resonance.
With Bleed, Jeff Pearce chooses to (mostly) let his strings show, lightly soaking (rather than burying) them in filtering and effects... the sparkle and splendor of radiant skyways do my ears good! Gently meandering musicality gets an A."
--The AmbiEntrance
"Bleed is the foreboding name of ambient guitarist Jeff Pearce's latest CD, but Pearce's wounds are more emotional than physical. This darkly introspective, but quietly melodic CD finds Pearce creating reverberant guitar orchestrations through his fragile melodies into loops, delays, and echoes that build and converge, creating a sonic womb of contemplation. In largely realtime performances, Pearce layers his melodies with gentle, picked cyles and quietly growling e-bow guitar lines, all bathed in deep, deep reverb. Pearce says the album is based on some old journals and the teenage traumas and yearnings they awakened, but you don't need to know that to hear the melancholy in his music. This album also includes more contemporary inspirations. He recorded "Through Tears" while watching the events of 9-11 unfold. That track debuted on An Echoes Requiem in October, 2001."
--John Diliberto, Echoes Radio

Weekly Photo Challenge: Refuge – Fremont Troll…
"There is in us a lyric germ or nucleus which deserves respect; it bids a man to ponder or create. And in this dim corner of himself, he can take refuge and find consolations which the society of his fellow creatures does not provide." Norman Douglas
Seattle is one of my most favorite cities in the US. It has many wonderful things to see; historic sites and exciting places to visit. One that draws plenty of attention every year and finds refuge under the Aurora Bridge is — the Fremont Troll. The Fremont Troll is a sculptural rendering of a mythological Scandinavian creature known to live under bridges, in caves, or in the forest. They were believed to be green, scary, giant sized or dwarf-like creatures, and they loved bright jewelry, children, women and human flesh; yes, human flesh and the odd VW as the picture shows. 🙂
The idea of using the space under the Aurora Bridge was proposed to the Fremont Arts Council in 1989. The Aurora Bridge was built in 1932 and, over the years, the area under the bridge had become a dumping ground for junk. Many residents in Fremont wanted to see something creative in the space. A national competition ensued and the winning idea, presented by a team led by sculptor Steve Badanes, was the Fremont Troll under the bridge.
The Mega Week-long Blog Hops continue: ✿♡✿Add a post you really enjoyed writing!✿♡✿(Steps/Information below)
"Faith is not a storm cellar to which men and women can flee for refuge from the storms of life. It is, instead, an inner force that gives them the strength to face those storms and their consequences with serenity of spirit." Sam J. Ervin
The Fremont Troll is made from rebar steel, wire and 2 tons of ferroconcrete; it was completed in about 7 weeks. Apparently, there are other trolls in the Fremont area; a highly creative and fun neighborhood in Seattle. I did not see any other trolls during my visit but made sure to visit the Aurora Bridge and take the pictures you see. The day I went to see it, lots of people kept coming, posing, taking pictures and hanging around; finally, I had one moment to capture it alone… Ah, the refuge of being alone with a giant troll. 🙂 What are your thoughts? Have you seen any other Fremont Trolls? Do Share!

It was a tough one to work on because I have been looking through my own photos for the challenge and sometimes, I am stumped or tempted to reach for one I've used before. I do have to take new pictures so I can keep up with the challenge. 🙂
Thank you!

Legitimized by an important electoral result in the last European elections and going from strength to strength as leader of Italian politics, Prime Minister Matteo Renzi is considered by various analysts as having enough force and ability to obtain a relaxation of the austerity policies implemented by Angela Merkel and European institutions. The figure of Renzi has significantly raised expectations in the European centre-left, until now quite marginalized in the political direction of the European economy. When he took office as Italian President of the European Council, Matteo Renzi did not hide his ambition. His proposal comprises granting more fiscal flexibility to those EU members which show a clear commitment to implementing radical reforms oriented towards economic growth.
In the light of Renzi's proposal, it may sound contradictory that the main domestic interest of the Italian government is not centred on economic reforms or labour market policies but rather on the reform of the political system. However, only a superficial analysis of the Italian economic crisis, which in many ways differs from that of other European countries, could find Renzi's strategy surprising. The reform of the political system is the necessary condition for any other proposition of Renzi's government. The success or failure of that reform is the most important benchmark to measure Italy's ability to repair its shaky economy and to ask for a change in European policies.
The proposed reform is twofold. Firstly, it aims to approve a new electoral law capable of building a moderate bi-party system, in the attempt to correct Italy's historical institutional weakness and fragmentation. Secondly, its goal is to eliminate the negative Italian exception of "perfect bicameralism", that is, two legislative chambers with the very same functions. The objective of the government is to deprive the Senate (Upper Chamber) of the power to elect the government and to limit its function to representing Regions and Cities: something similar to what happens in Spain or Germany.
The relevance of this reform is closely related to the endemic deficit of governance that characterizes the Italian political system. On the one hand, the reform seeks to provide future Italian Prime Ministers with enough institutional tools to implement their political projects without being forced to pass through a myriad of veto players, especially smaller parties. Without this condition, all the other announced reforms will be ineffective and little more than cosmetic interventions that, in the attempt to save all the interests involved, end up negatively affecting everybody. On the other hand, the resolution of the country's long-standing political instability and the creation of the conditions for effective governance are the only answers that Italy can deliver to a disenchanted electorate and to distrustful European partners. The crisis of representation that Italy is experiencing these days can be solved only by reducing the number of political actors and by creating the conditions for better decision-making. If a political system does not dispose of adequate instruments to make decisions and transform them into effective public policies, it ends up betraying all those represented and social demands are very likely to go unheard.
Considering the revolutionary content of the proposal, resistance has been widespread and the passing of the reform is far from being assured. Firstly, there is a critical sector of the Italian Parliament that could be defined as "maximalist". This group of legislators recognizes the need for some change in the political machinery but it is mostly driven by ideological and not very realistic political sentiments. This has been the case, for example, of the 5Star Movement and the internal minority of the Democratic Party (Renzi's Party). In their view, if the Constitution or fundamental laws cannot be modified exactly "as we say", it is better to stick to the existing ones. Any alternative is ruled out as unconstitutional, authoritarian, regressive, etc.
Secondly, there is the opposition of smaller and centrist political groups that do not always accept with enthusiasm the government's proposals as regards reforming the political system since they may threaten the structure of vetoes on which Italian politics has long been based.
Finally, there is a cultural and idiosyncratic type of opposition, an almost innate tendency of a part of Italian society to mistrust decisions and decision-makers. This group includes very different sectors – from a part of the cultural left still living the myth of the permanent assembly (either there is the largest possible agreement, or nobody should decide) to representatives of various local particularisms (either my territory has a large say in the decision, or there should be no decision at all) – which have always been extremely wary of the possibility that any political force can really change the status quo. It is a fundamentally conservative attitude, which often hides behind a misunderstood anti-authoritarianism and considers any decision as a threat.
It is certainly a positive development that the Italian Prime Minister can count on a large popular support that might allow him to implement crucial reforms to modernize Italy and reactivate its economy. Nevertheless, it is necessary that European partners and Italian electors know that, without the reform of the political system, the Italian Prime Minister will still be what it has been for the last 25 years: a leader that talks a lot and promises even more, but that does not even dispose of the instruments to make sure that his/her parliamentary majority supports his/her proposals. In this sense, the institutional reforms represent for Renzi a sort of battle of Normandy, the condition without which all the other battles, both in Italy and in Europe, are not possible.

With Valentine's Day quickly approaching, I have compiled five ways for those of you, procrastinating man folk, to say a heartfelt, "I love you" to the love of your life, and do it like a real cowboy. Some of them require you to loosen your purse strings, while others will cost you only a bit of your time and effort. So, read on, cowboy!
- Buy her a horse. This one is a no-brainer, but as it requires a major investment, not all of you will be able to pull it off. Still, what cowgirl wouldn't like a horse as a gift? If you think your love for her is so great that it can't be expressed in words, getting her a horse would say it all. On the other hand, if you are short on cash and she has a horse already, a set of new tack or a prepaid visit by a farrier would be just as appreciated.
- Take her to a barn dance. Make sure you encourage her to get all gussied up (and you do the same), and show her some good time. Since everyone has phone cameras these days, snap a picture of the two of you together, and send it to her afterwards. Then, post it on your social media and brag on your gal. Be careful with this if you are not thinking of her as your main squeeze, because she may get the wrong idea.
- Buy her a pair of cowgirl boots. This one will score you big points if you do it right. The best way to make sure your effort doesn't misfire is to find out what her favorite boot brand is. Also, find a sneaky way to learn her boot size in that particular brand, because different brands fit differently. When you have all of this squared away, get her the fanciest boot style you can find. Why? I'll tell you a little secret. It's because she has probably been admiring them for a long, long time but was reluctant to spend the money on a pair that would be worn only when she is all dressed up for a special affair. Not too sure you can pick the right style? Give her a gift certificate to her favorite boot shop instead.
- Cook her dinner. You know how much time she spends in the kitchen every day making sure you have a good meal when your day's work is done. So, why not double up on your Valentine's gift by not only cooking a meal for her, but also making it fancy. Cook some good steak, add a few fixins, a bottle of wine (or moonshine, if she prefers), and serve it all on her fanciest china by candlelight, and you've got a winner.
- Get her some more turquoise. She probably already has a bunch of turquoise jewelry in her stash, but a cowgirl can never have too much turquoise. The only thing you need to keep in mind is that you have to choose good quality stones, preferably US or Mexico mined. Stay away from what you can buy in your run-off-the-mill big box stores because, most of the time, they sell poor quality turquoise (if turquoise at all, and not just turquoise colored cheap stones instead). Go for Native pawn, or independently designed pieces by small shops. Need some ideas? Take a peek at what Buckaroo Bling has to offer.
So, there you have it, cowboy! Choose any of the five options above, and I guarantee you will have a great Valentine's Day.
What if you read all this and you are a cowgirl instead? Well, glad you asked. Show these suggestions to your beau, and you will have a great Valentine's Day, too.

There are a multitude of products for purchase that claim that they can help to cure cancer, and there are a lot of people each year who purchase these in desperation. Don't become a victim of one of the many scams which exist. Educating yourself about cancer, and how to effectively deal with it, is one of the best things that you can do in your battle with this disease. Improve your survival chances by reading the advice provided in this article.
Eating too much sugar will make cancer cells grow. Sugar is what cancer cells use to grow, so eliminating sugar completely can help to starve out your cancer. This method is not a substitute for your regular treatments, but it is a healthy choice for maintaining good nutrition as you fight cancer.
Skin cancer is quite common, which makes sun exposure one of the leading causes for cancer. You can prevent this kind with regular sunscreen applications and protecting your face with a hat.
Understand that cancer treatments generally come with unpleasant side effects that you need to address. Speak with your doctor about the side effects you may face. Your hair and complexion might change: think about wearing makeup and getting a wig.
When dealing with cancer, there may be times when it is necessary to advocate for yourself. A lot of folks hold antiquated notions regarding your cancer, and might be suspicious of your abilities to function or even be contagious. It may be useful to plan your answers to these types of questions in advance. This will aid the overall response you receive from people while you are coping with cancer.
There may be someone in your friends or family that also suffers from the pains of cancer. If you do know someone like this, you should listen to any advice they may offer and take it to heart. It may be a difficult thing to do at times, but your friend or family member needs to have the opportunity to express their feelings. Try not to inject your own thoughts or opinions on them; allow them to just vent their own feelings without interruption.
Physical Activity
You can reduce chances of colon cancer by about 40% if you engage in regular physical activity. Regular exercise helps to maintain a healthy body weight, increases overall fitness and reduces the risk of diabetes, which in turn reduces the risk of cancer. Always strive to maintain physical activity within your life.
Smoking cigarettes increases your risk of cancer. While most people are aware that quitting smoking reduces your chances of getting lung cancer or emphysema, smokers may not realize that quitting also helps them avoid colon cancer. Studies have indicated that colon polyps increase in size due to the carcinogens in tobacco. This is one of many reasons you should give up smoking for good.
If a loved one has cancer, attend any professional appointments with him or her. An extra person can ask questions that the patient might be too confused or angry to ask, and it can also make things go more smoothly in general.
If you or a loved one has just been diagnosed with cancer, make sure that you increase you understanding of the disease by reading any medical literature that you have access to. It's important to be confident.
You can easily be sucked into scams if you have cancer, and that's because people are desperate to help themselves or their loved ones beat the disease. Even so, make sure you're always informed and acting with the right knowledge as your guide. Use the tips in the article you've just read to aid in your battle.

One fact every RV owner knows – things are bound to break! Today we've teamed up with RV Mechanic, Ed Wilcox, to learn what fails first.
Not only is Wilcox an RV Tech, he also created a course to teach RVers how to fix their own systems. These easier-than-you-expect fixes can save you time (RV shops are slow) and money (RV shops are super expensive)!
Without any further ado, here's Ed Wilcox!
Advice from an RV Mechanic
Owning an RV is awesome…until it's not.
There are lots of systems that are different from a house. And when you purchase, the dealer might walk you through them to make sure they're working. But they definitely don't tell you they might not always be in tip-top shape. Or how often they could "hiccup" and stop working.
As an RV mechanic, I've seen my fair share of broken RV systems. Here are the ones that give people the most headaches.
Water Heater
The water heater is hands down the most worked on piece of RV equipment.
When I took delivery of my first rig, the water heater didn't work at all. I was frustrated and annoyed.
After breaking out the manual, I realized this system is actually pretty easy.
I had a 6 gallon Atwood. After just a few minutes, I realized that the water heater simply had a bad connection on a thermal fuse.
This means all I had to do was wiggle the wires to get it working again.
If you're having trouble with your water heater, here's what you do:
Unplug and replug wire connections one at a time to get any corrosion off the connection.
Next, check the inside fuse and circuit breaker. Check to see if it works on electricity, if one operation works you could at least heat water.
While you are checking the area take the time to drain and flush your tank. If you have a suburban, check the anode rod condition. Then flush any water or sediment that may be in the bottom of the tank.
PRO TIP: Ed's course walks you through the entire process.
RV Furnace
The next most common repair is anything furnace related. If you have had your coach in hibernation all winter, chances are that it may give you some issues. This also goes for the beginning of the fall season when switching from ac to heat.
Your furnace needs 3 things to light:
Spark: if the electrode is not sparking and the system seems to start like normal, shut off power at the furnace. Then check the connection on the circuit card. Remove the connection and look at the pins, wipe with a soft cloth, then reinstall. Once that's done, restart the furnace.
Air: if the fan will not spin, it may need a little push. If the motor sits for a long period of time it can become stuck, there could be critters, or a nest of some kind.
Fuel: you have to remember to turn on the propane. If you run it out of propane and it seems to be broken after refilling, light the burners on the stove. Get the propane moving in the system.
FYI: Is the Mr. Buddy heater deadly in an RV?
Air conditioning
The third most common RV system fail is the Air Conditioning.
While there are many parts of the AC system that can fail:
- capacitor not working properly
- Not enough "juice" to start the fan or compressor
- Loose connection on the board
There's usually one reason for all these failures: a dirty AC unit.
Try cleaning the circuit board or the entire unit itself.
If that doesn't work and you're sure the AC is shot, the best thing to do is get a new one.
Fortunately, as long as the unit is in the roof, it's not too hard to swap out.
If you have a dometic, get one that is compatible with your electronics.
If you have a Coleman, get the one that will be compatible with what you already have.
Too easy, right?
Now if you have a Carrier (like me) some parts can be hard to come by. There are a couple of companies who have made conversion kits.
Basement AC is a whole different animal, my suggestion would be to call someone who knows how to work on them.
RV Generators
Gettin' that ole green beast started up after sitting all winter is sometimes a bit of a chore. Not gonna lie on this one.
The best way to combat this is to run your generator every month for at least an hour, while under load. Under load means you are running quite a bit of electricity. Turn your AC and water heater on, flip on the lights, and maybe even watch some TV.
If you're past that point and you've let it sit much longer than it should, here are a couple tips to get 'er goin.
- Check the oil- the generators have an oil level indicator, and it will not start if the oil is low.
- Check fuel level- the generator will not start if the coach fuel level is not above a quarter tank.
- Drain old fuel from the carburetor. There is a screw on the bottom that will allow you to get new fuel into the carb. Trying to start on old fuel does not usually work out too well.
Push that button inside your rig. If it starts, great!
If not? Try the button on the generator.
I've found for whatever reason, if the generator doesn't want to start with the inside button, it understands you are getting serious when you go outside and hit the other button.
It's like "alright, you win!"
If your RV doesn't have a built in generator, you're not out of the woods. 30 and 50 amp, portable gennys still have their fair share of problems.
We usually recommend the Honda brand for generators. But, may others lately are being build with similar quality.
Here are the best 30amp generators for your RV.
Other things to check on your RV motorhome or camper trailer
Tire pressure– odds are it is lower than when you left it. Blowouts suck. Check your tires.
Battery water level– check the condition of all your batteries. Getting stranded because your batteries are all dried up and dead is no fun. Check before you go. If they aren't full, get some distilled water and fill those babies up!
Your roof– a ton can happen to your roof since you last used your rig. Get up there and look at it. Please. You can catch water damage before it becomes anything major. Use self-leveling dicor on flat surfaces. Use a nonself-leveling dicor on any edge that isn't horizontal.
Wash that RV – A good car wash should work just fine. And a boat wax works well on fiberglass. Then use automotive wax on anything painted. Wax the front cap too if it's painted. I've seen too many faded caps and people asking how to fix it… prevent it with wax because the answer on how to fix it is expensive!
Check any towing equipment– If you bring a car with you, there is a whole slew of equipment that comes with that. Check over all those straps, chains, couplers, plugs, wires and grease points. Also, tire pressure too.
Inside smells– I've found that running a dehumidifier in your rig while it sits is the best prevention technique for any funky smells. There are many kinds that have self draining tubes that can dump directly into the grey tank.
Don't feel intimidated – sign up for Ed's DIY RV Repair Course and he'll walk you through the primary issues on your RV!

There's a generation gap in opinions about how long adults should live with their parents post-college.
A new by psychotherapist Dr. Robi Ludwig shows that Americans ages 55 and older think it's acceptable for adults to live with their parents after college for as long as three years. Adults ages 18 to 34 think living at home for as long as five years is acceptable. And nearly 1 in 7 Americans (13 percent) believe adults should never live at home with their parents.
Tips for Boomerang Kids and Their Parents
Perry says parents and their kids need to discuss their expectations — for both sides — before the decision is made to move back home.
"Talk about things like who is responsible for what chores around the house, access to cars, late nights/no-shows, overnight guests," she says. "All those things are a reality when the child is now an adult. Parents should feel entitled to negotiate what works for them during this time. You aren't running a bed-and-breakfast, so be clear about what you need."
All personal responsibilities like laundry, cleaning their room, and cleaning up after themselves must be done by the young person, says Perry. She recommends asking boomerang kids to help the family while they are home, with things like grocery shopping, cooking, and yard work.
The financial implications of moving back home are crucial for the parents and the adult child. Perry says if the boomerang kids have income and can pay rent and contribute to food costs, they should.
Ludwig recommends setting a target end date. The survey shows that 65 percent of Americans think adult children should move out as soon as they have a job.
"Be clear if you're the parent about how long this will work for you," says Perry. "What's the time horizon? Three months? Six months? A year? Or until your kid finds a job?"
Each family has to negotiate an arrangement for adults moving back home and their parents. If the kids are using the time to save money for a house, the parents may want to skip having them pay rent in order to allow their savings to build more quickly.
The key to making this arrangement go smoothly is for both generations to be open about their financial and personal expectations.
