It seems like only yesterday when NCIS, the previous group scanlating Nodame, was disbanded. Not wanting such a great manga to go unscanlated, their former admin, the pint-sized Edward, approached our then-leader Oren and entered talks with him for the transferal of the project from one group to another. There were many concerns on our side which we duly raised, but Oren dismissed them all with the right of veto afforded to Viscans' admins, all the while staring fixatedly at Edward's prosthetic right arm. What resulted was a collaboration effort where the editing would be entirely handled by Edward, and Viscans would provide the translations, quality checking, and our name for which to release under.
However, as we had correctly predicted, problems materialized one after another. The majority we had expected, but some took us completely by surprise, such as the misplacement of the cleans for the first chapter due to Oren's mismanagement. For reasons we can only speculate at, Oren tried to rectify his carelessness not by admitting his mistake and asking for a new batch of cleans–from either Edward or Viscans' editors–but by hiding it and running to other, affiliated groups and bribing their editors with what we believe was a large quantity of Class-A drugs and prepubescent girls. The outcome of this deception was that the chapter invariably became stalled for an entire month and a half. Once the chapter was completed, Oren made an attempt to set up ShadowStorm, an old-timer from the annuls of scanlation history suffering from the rapid onset of senility–a malady which, remarkably, put him into people's confidences,– as a fall guy by asking him to release the chapter in his stead. Had Oren succeeded, none of us would have been any the wiser and poor ShadowStorm would have borne the brunt of Edward's rage. But it was bad luck for Oren that ShadowStorm experienced a rare moment of lucidity, whereupon he amended the credits page to acknowledge the correct people, and alerted the world to Oren's request.
The wrath of a vertically-challenged person is a terrible thing to behold, and many were victimized by Edward's flailing, metal limbs, some in ways best left unmentioned. His rampage was wild and indiscriminate, as the principle target of his rage was nowhere to be found. This was because Oren, through his many experiences of dealing with angry, two-timed lovers (of genders unknown), had forged and tempered to perfection the incredibly useful ability of never being in the wrong place at the wrong time. While this skill served him well, it was to the detriment of the rest of us, and in particular, to Nodame. Progress on the chapter could only proceed if Oren could hand over to Edward the translated manuscript for him to typeset, but their meeting would never take place, as men of small stature tend to hold grudges as equally as their, and Oren knew how to stay out of harm's way. For had begun displaying symptons of an extreme fear of metallic noises. The instant someone dropped a coin, jangled their keys, had mock swordfights, put on tinfoil hats, or did anything that produced the resonant tone, he would give a sudden start, mumble that he was not feeling well, and hastily make his exit, often through the window. Two whole months passed this way until his nerves finally shattered from the constant din. For the sake of his own sanity, he announced that he was stepping down from his position, named no_comxxx as his successor, and exiled himself to a distant island, where he could rest and recuperate.
Oren had always been the secretive type, with his modus operandi being to work from the shadows, away from any prying eyes. No one harboured any illusions that this lack of transparency was not taken advantage of, and we all knew he made use of it to succour, bribe, and cajole his way into achieving his ends. So when no_comxxx took up the mantle, he found that he had inherited an administritive nightmare; very little was on file, and the majority of workers were either MIA, or kept correspondence to a minimum. Sorting out this bureaucratic headache would have been a momumental task for one man alone, but thankfully, through the tireless efforts of ZeroDC, Camui, and myself, the paperwork was done and dusted within a month allowing for the second chapter to be released shortly afterwards. In total, three months had been wasted due to Oren.
It was then, that we encountered a further setback: Edward had gone missing. And with him, the cleans for the third chapter. We questioned every acquaintance of his we knew of, but none could shed light on the circumstances surrounding his disappearance. Just as we were to give up all hope of finding him after searching for a month, we stumbled upon a witness–quiet by accident–who had seen him the night before he vanished talking to a pretty-boy of a man in blue military uniform and white gloves, the backs of which sported what appeared to be ritual circles used by satanic cults. The witness did not dare get closer, but they did manage to catch snatches of conversation. Quoted verbatim, they heard "…philoso…discovered intelligence…communists from…possible breakthrough…South Ameri…depart at first light". We were uncertain as to what it meant, but one thing was clear: if communists were involved, and he had gone to South America, we weren't going to be seeing him for a good long while. And so, the burden of scanlating Nodame fell entirely upon our shoulders.
Not one to be daunted, the indefatigable no_comxxx took it upon himself to edit the third chapter in Edward's place, declaring it shall be released on a monthly basis. But alas, it was not to be. Soon after releasing the third chapter, no_comxxx, too, abruptly went missing. Just as we were about to conduct a search for him, hika, one of Oren's ex-wives, came before us bearing grievious news of his untimely demise in a motorcycle accident. We did not know it at the time, but what had actually happened was that hika had kidnapped, bound and imprisoned him in a secret dungeon below her house before finally deciding to release him two months later. To this day, we do not know what happened in that basement during those two months or for what reasons she had committed this act. But considering that hika and no_comxxx knew each other well, we had little reason to doubt her, and thus lamented his death, and with a heavy heart, elected the efficient ZeroDC as our new leader. However, his existing workload was higher than what no_comxxx had endured, and the additional responsibilities that came with being a leader increased them further still. Consequently, he could not promise a chapter a month; instead, a chapter every two months was all he could manage. Frankly, though, it was a miracle he could have it done that fast, seeing how busy he was.
At long last, things looked to be going well, with chapter after chapter being released at a steady pace. Three chapters were released this way, and another was forthcoming when yet another calamity struck us. This time, it was pizzach, the Linux guru and translator of Nodame who left our number. Comissioned by the Yakuza to write software with which to exploit zero-day vulnerabilities, he had grown too knowledgeable on the ways of the Underworld, and realizing this, the Yakuza decided to silence him to prevent rival groups from engaging his services. Fearing for his life, pizzach fled cross-country via a convoluted and tortuous route and decided to lay low for a year or so, after which time the Yakuza would assume the skills he picked up would have become out-of-date and so call off the hit.
In the meantime, ZeroDC tried his best to locate a replacement translator, but everyone he asked lacked either the competency, desire, or time to work on such a project as Nodame. Seven months passed like this with no suitable translator to be seen, when hika, feeling guilt and remorse over the crime she had previously perpetrated on no_comxxx, and desiring to clean up the mess left by her ex-husband Oren, offered ZeroDC to translate the final three chapters of Nodame as her way of atonement. Thanks to this commendable act of redemption, work on Nodame was resumed and the chapters quickly released.

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) The South Koreans win the women's Olympic team archery title all the time.
Seriously, all the time - 8 for 8 since the event was added in 1988. A nation can't get much more dominant than that.
Ki Bo-bae, Choi Mi-sun and Chang Hye-jin weren't the least bit bothered by a swirling wind as they led South Korea past Russia 5-1 in the final Sunday at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics. Taiwan beat Italy in the bronze-medal match.
It was a clean sweep for South Korea, with the men's team turning in a nearly flawless performance Saturday to motivate their counterparts.
''That helped a lot, watching them do well,'' Ki said through a translator. ''To show the idea of how to do well in this place.''
For the Russians, the silver almost felt like a gold and definitely was a medal the contingent of Tuiana Dashidorzhieva, Ksenia Perova and Inna Stepanova couldn't even fathom a few months ago when their country's presence in Rio was in limbo.
The International Olympic Committee recently approved the entry of 278 Russian athletes amid several anti-doping groups calling for a complete ban. Overall, more than 100 Russians have been excluded over allegations of state-sponsored doping in Russia ahead of the Rio Games.
''Of course, we were very nervous of what's going on with this stuff,'' Dashidorzhieva said. ''But we believed and trained every day - and waited.''
It's the first medal the Russian women have captured in archery. Perova can't wait to show it off to her young daughter.
''I wasn't with her part of the year (because of training). So this victory is for her,'' Perova said. ''I want to go home to see her with this medal.''
There was no slithering around this subject: There were rumors about how the South Korean women's team used to handle snakes as a way to build mental toughness.
Not true, Ki insisted. They're mentally strong enough already.
That's why the howling wind didn't bother them. Never does.
''It's true that the wind was particularly strong. So we were a bit surprised,'' said Ki, who was a member of the winning squad at the 2012 London Games. ''Each one of the team really did great to lead us.''
To get used to different kinds of situations, the team trains in unorthodox ways. Like on a baseball field inside a dome, just to get acclimated to noise.
''But we don't handle snakes,'' Ki reiterated.
Asked how this Olympic gold tasted, each South Korean archer had an amusing take:
- ''It tastes like rainbow candy,'' Chang said.
- ''My mom's soup. Because that's the best,'' Ki responded.
- ''I'm still hungry,'' Choi said.
That's why it was no real surprise the South Koreans added to its title collection at the Sambadrome. It was expected. So are more in the future.
''When it's time for me to sleep, I always think about archery,'' Ki said. ''That is why I can stay on top.''
The real shocker was China being eliminated by Italy in the quarterfinals. South Korea and China met in the final of the last three Olympics before Rio.
South Korea beat Japan and Taiwan before facing Russia in the final. Of the 18 shots, 10 in the top scoring ring despite the blustery day. Ki sealed the win with her final arrow.
''We always do our best,'' Ki said, ''and that's why we always have a good result.''

This two day workshop was tutored by Jane Strother, an Oxford Adult Education tutor who offers thoughtful and interesting courses in personal development for experienced artists. I have been to one of her courses before at Oxford Summer School and found it really useful. The attraction is not just the content of the course, but the coming together with half a dozen like minded people, albeit with totally different art directions.
Jane started the day by reviewing the work of several artists and looking at their different approaches to organising mass and line within a space. We looked at William Scott, Ellsworth Kelly, David Tress, Simon Carter and Nicholas De Stael. Jane showed us their different methods for exploring composition; collage, drawing, tearing and rearranging, working via a grid, simplification via obliteration etc. We discussed how, in developing an abstract, or abstracted image, you might wish to completely loose any iconography, or choose to retain a few specific elements.
Jane had set up a towering stack of chairs and set us the challenge of drawing them in various ways, trying to loose the iconography. We drew quick drawings with our non dominant hand, with continuous line, unsighted, 'sneaky look', negative spaces joined up etc. The objective of this first day was to build up a body of drawings which we could work from the next day to create compositions for a future work.
These exercises show how difficult I find it to loose the representation, the longer I sketch.
In the afternoon, we sketched in the garden. Here the objective was to use the structural aspects of the garden with the organic shapes to find a variety of mark, shape and mass which could be selected and isolated or joined in different ways in a subsequent composition. Again, we were trying to loose the representation and just let the subject suggest marks or shapes. We all found this even more difficult in the garden. Jane suggested trying moving around and sketching the garden from different aspects in the same drawing.
The next day, we thought about strategies for taking our drawings and making an abstract monochrome composition from them, either completely abstract or retaining some slight iconography of the original subject.
Strategies included:
- tearing up and rearranging
- painting over and obliterating in areas
- adding paper to margins and extending
- over drawing one drawing on another
- redrawing and selecting
- cropping
- collaged papers
- cutting up and weaving or rearranging in a grid (ref Kelly)
- rotate some elements relative to others
- joining shapes, neg or pos
I felt much more inspired by the organic shapes than the chair drawings, so I used the latter as practice for manipulation.
Uninspired and uninspiring. I went back to the garden sketches and drew from a couple of them, enlarging the shapes of the tulips, adding the loopy lines of plant supports and black shapes of clumps of perennials. I forgot to take a photo of this before I decided to tear it up and put the pieces together another way, extending lines and shapes onto new paper.
Some shapes are still recognisable here, I then cropped into one bit, about a third, which I found the most interesting.
The drawing was added to, subtracted from with white paint and finally torn up again and the pieces rearranged.
Drawing was added to relate the shapes somewhat whilst trying to keep a balance of positive and negative space. I regretted that I had cut, rather than torn some shapes when cropping.
This has now completely lost any iconography of a garden. I can find a landscape within this, with an exciting sky, if rather literal land.
I like the idea of making very big marks for a very big sky.
Turning back to the garden, I made an even more gestural sketch.
Drawing on newspaper which I have previously used as worktop protection whilst painting, was really useful as a device for loosing representation. A stick with ink is great for creating a gestural, inexact mark. Once again, I tore this up, glued parts down onto new paper, and added some lines in ink, suggested by my earlier drawings of a tree and climbing rose. Watery, white paint was added to soften tones by making the ink run.
With the day drawing to a close, I drew three marks on paper, suggested by the garden forms, and then tried to unite them in a composition.
This sketch used carbon stick and white acrylic paint. Mixed on the paper with the paint, it forms a lovely bluish grey.
It felt decadent to spend days experimenting and I came away with an appetite to try painting again, beyond the representational watercolours I used to do years ago. I find workshops really useful for exchanging ideas, freshening up my own, putting into practice the stuff you might know but don't give yourself time to do but should. It was lovely to meet new artists and look at their work and to be invited into Jane's home and see her work. I was also grateful for being introduced to the work of Simon Carter and his excellent blog where he discusses the development of work from sketchbook to possibly finished painting with great honesty and humour. This was a very productive couple of days.

|Geometry Wars: Touch
Bizarre Creations
Release date
April 1, 2010
Multi-directional shooter
Geometry Wars: Touch is a port of Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 on iOS. Geometry Wars is a multi-directional shooter first developed by Bizarre Creations on the Xbox. A sequel was later made on the Xbox 360 in the form of Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 on the Xbox Live Arcade. The iPad version of the game features all 6 game modes from the Xbox 360 version and includes a new exclusive game mode called Titans. The game is available for download from the iTunes App Store and is currently selling at $0.99. This game is stated as taking full advantage of the iPad's graphical abilities. It was later updated as a universal binary supporting the iPod Touch and iPhone, in addition to the iPad.
The player controls a small, highly maneuverable ship that can move and fire independently in any direction. The objective of the game is to score points by destroying a variety of shapes and surviving by not touching them. The player's ship is destroyed if this happens, and a life is lost. Depending on the game mode, lives and bombs can be collected upon gaining certain numbers of points— with bombs being able to clear the game space of enemy shapes instantly, although with no points gained for their destruction.
Crucial to effective play is the score multiplier, which increases as the player collects "geoms" — small diamond-shaped green objects dropped by enemies upon destruction. The number of points gained on destroying an enemy depends on the multiplier; with multipliers sometimes reaching many thousands. Constant collecting of geoms and destruction of enemies cause exponential scoring of points.
On the iPad, the player controls the ship using simulated analog sticks on the iPad's touchscreen. This allows for similar controls as the Xbox 360 version. It would appear that the 4-player local multiplayer mode is absent from this version of Geometry Wars.
There are seven different modes available to unlock throughout the course of the game:
- Deadline: The player is challenged to score as many points as possible in three minutes with unlimited lives. During the course of the three-minute countdown, it is possible for a player to earn more bombs than the three the player initially starts with.
- King: The player has only one life and no bombs. Circular safety zones appear randomly in the playing field. Enemies and geoms cannot enter these zones, and the player can only fire while inside one. The zone shrinks and disappears a short time after it is entered, causing a new one to appear elsewhere in the playing field and forcing the player to keep moving from zone to zone.
- Evolved: The player is challenged to score as many points as possible with no time limit. The player starts with 4 lives and 3 bombs, and earns extra lives and bombs at set point intervals. (100,000; 1,000,000; 10,000,000)
- Pacifism: The player has only one life and cannot shoot. The player must fly through gates to destroy nearby enemies while avoiding the dangerous edges of the gates, and earns bonus points by flying through gates in rapid succession. This mode was inspired by an achievement in the first game called "Pacifist" where you had to survive 60 seconds without firing.
- Waves: The player has one life and must avoid and destroy waves of rockets that fly horizontally and vertically from the edges of the game space. As Waves mode progresses, the player must deal with increasingly challenging groups of additional enemies while dodging and destroying the ever-increasing number of rockets.
- Sequence: This mode consists of twenty levels, each with a predetermined pattern of enemies. The player has thirty seconds to destroy all of the enemies in each level. If the player loses a life, they are taken directly to the next level, but the game ends if the player loses all of their lives. Additional lives and bombs are earned at set point intervals.
- Titans: This mode is exclusive to the iPad version. The player starts with 4 lives and 3 bombs and fights large versions of enemies that break up into smaller versions when shot. This mode is similar to certain game modes in Geometry Wars: Galaxies.

First Impression by Pauline Creeden
The cover immediately got my attention. Everything about it drew me in, from the excellent color palette to the title treatment to the model's expression. Then, I read the blurb, and I knew this book was for me.
First Impression is a perfect blend of paranormal and mystery, and characters with depth.
The story opens with a Harry Potter reference, which I find fantastic. At school, Chira is assigned the task of showing Ben, a new transfer, to his classes. He's quiet and mysterious, yet Chira finds herself attracted to him. As an outcast at school, Chira has only one friend, but Tasha is as loyal as they come. I imagine Tasha's fierce loyalty stems from her rock solid home life with a close-knit, loving family.
It's Tasha's idea to meet a group of classmates at the old schoolhouse to check it out as a possibility for a Halloween party. After all, it's supposed to be haunted. That's where the mystery and fun begins. No spoilers here, though.
First Impression is a quick, clean read, and appropriate even for adolescents. It's a perfect balance of paranormal and mystery, with just a dash of romance, which suits me just fine. I'm definitely looking forward to Shadow Maven #2, but I hope it's just a bit longer so I can get my fix of Ben and his mysterious owl.
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
[I originally read this book in June 2014. I am in the process of transferring my blog contents.]

Stanislaw Pytel / Getty Images Water is an essential nutrient our body depends upon for optimal health and fitness. It keeps us hydrated and assists with other vital processes at every level of human function. According to research, water is shown to be the most important nutrient in sports nutrition. The human body is made up of over 60% water. Water helps with all body functions operating around the clock. It maintains hydration, digestion, heart and lung function, joint lubrication, protection of our tissues, regulating body temperature, and much more. Water can be considered our life line with endless health benefits. It keeps us feeling and functioning at our best and chronic studies continue to report more positive feedback on why drinking plenty of water is essential to our health. 2 Water Helps with Weight Loss High Water Intake Speeds Up Weight Loss. JGI/Jamie Grill / Getty Images Studies have revealed increasing water intake allows for faster weight loss compared to those not drinking enough water. A glass of water before a meal has shown to decrease appetite, aid in digestion and boost metabolism. Portion control is better adhered to and improved weight loss results experienced. Many people confuse thirst for hunger which has contributed to weight gain. Nutritionists are now recommending drinking a glass of water when you are feeling sluggish or fatigued before reaching for food.This simple test for dehydration vs hunger has shown to help with portion control. Drinking water throughout the day also eliminates the desire to consume sugary sodas/juices loaded with unwanted calories. A recent study on water-induced thermogenesis has shown drinking cold water increases energy expenditure in the body. Research indicated the increase in energy is created by the body's effort to warm the water to body temperature. This theory explains the boost to metabolism and increased weight loss. 3 Water Reduces Belly Bloat Increased Water Intake Reduces Bloating. IAN HOOTON / Getty Images Holding water or feeling bloated can make us feel uncomfortable. It's often caused by poor digestion, increased sodium or monthly cycle for a woman. Many believe when they're holding water, drinking water should be avoided. This is far from the truth. Water is a natural remedy to reduce bloating and drinking plenty throughout the day will begin the flushing process. Retaining water is the body's natural protective measure to prevent dehydration, so bloat time is no time to hold back drinking fluids. Drinking water will reduce the amount of retained salt and lubricate the colon to hasten elimination of belly-bloating foods. 4 Water Assists Digestion Constipation is an unpleasant experience and not drinking enough water promotes unhealthy digestion. Time to increase the water and keep things moving at a regular and comfortable pace. Water binds to soluble fiber in the large intestine and increases the bulk of our stool, reduces transit time and makes elimination easier. When water is kept from our digestive system, the body pulls water from our stool creating a constipation problem. Drinking plenty of water prevents constipation, promotes healthy digestion, flushes toxins, and eases the burden on our kidneys and liver. 5 Water Keeps Our Skin Healthy Do you suffer from dry and lifeless skin? The reason may be a lack of water as part of your daily nutrition. Clearing up our skin starts from within and is benefited when we drink plenty of water. We lose body water through sweat and even more during a workout and hot environmental conditions. Drinking water ensures rehydration and replenishment of the natural lubrication to our skin. Our skin loves moisture and drinking plenty of water helps restore suppleness and eliminates dryness. Drinking enough water is always a question and a good indicator is checking the color of your pee. Healthy urine is fairly clear and shows we're drinking plenty of water to keep our skin moist and lubricated. Using lotion is fine but drinking water remains the primary way to maintain well-hydrated skin. 6 How Much Water Should I Drink? Daily Water Requirements Differ Per Person. Peter Dazeley / Getty Images Water requirements are met through how much we drink and a small percentage through food intake. Each person will differ in water requirement based on age, environment, and activity levels. We lose water in every day body functions of sweating, breathing, and going to the bathroom. If we're physically active, in hot climates, running a fever, or having flu symptoms like diarrhea or vomiting we will lose even more water. All water loss requires replacement to keep our bodies well hydrated and healthy. The Food and Nutrition Board released new dietary reference intakes for water. "It is recommended that women consume 2.7 liters (91 oz.) daily and men consume 3.7 liters (125 oz.) through various beverages (80%) or in food (20%)." A great indicator for healthy water intake is fairly clear urine and to drink more until that mark is reached. Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback!

The way you put it is very understandable and will make one think more than once to go ahead with such a marriage. But we are born human beings with a heart, a heart that sometimes prevails over all logical understanding. I therefore ask you kindly to help me answer this question (within the laws of Islam, is the marriage of a muslim woman to a baha'i man allowed or not?)
Can a muslim woman marry a bahai man?

After Daddy was gone and Mama had retired from teaching, she began to write down her memories of her life with her husband, Walter Inglis Anderson. As aften happens with the process of writng and remembering, her original purpose of writing a biography of the artist turned into something more complex and revealing. She could not help telling her own story, and – to some extent – that of her children and other family members. The telling absorbed her and by the time her enormous output was compiled into a small perfect jewel of a book, she was elderly and would soon be diagnosed with cancer. Yet she had her moment in the light, and the joy of living the writer's life and being embraced by her readers.
Recently, I have been writing and remembering my mother, and by so doing revealing myself in relation to her. I pray that my own devotion to this project will be a way of honoring my mother, and also honoring the connection we had as mother and daughter. I have already published one vignette on this blog. Now here is another.
From my birth, through my childhood, and most of my adulthood, my Mama had exceptionally long hair, and hair-washing day was something of a ritual. It happened once a week, usually on a Saturday. At least this is what I remember from my own long ago weekend hair-washings, for my hair was also encouraged to grow long and lush.
While Mama's hair was still wrapped in a towel from being dunked, scrubbed and rinsed, a chair was placed backward against the bathroom sink and it was my turn. It was never comfortable – leaning back against the hard cold porcelain, my neck stretched and straining with the weight of my long wet hair – but my mama's hands were good: long-fingered and thorough, yet gentle and somehow made of love. To keep me from squirming or getting impatient, she told a story. The one I recall, with some amazement, was about the kingdom of the drain devils and the various adventures of the royal couple and their subjects. Mixed with my fascination was a certain frisson of fear; for wasn't I helplessly suspended above those very drains? There was some relief when my hair squeaked clean and I followed my Mama out to the porch, my own towel turban in place. Once there, we would set our hair free to hang long, loose and accessible to the warmth of the sun. As the story was resumed, I watched my mother's hair take on light. The top strands broke free from the damp under-hair and rose to make a shining gold aura around her head and upper body. I never could decide if she looked like a witch or an angel.
In later years, coming upon my elderly mother, on another porch, but still with the long hair streaming and celebrating its once-a-week freedom from the careful bun, the drying strands danced silvery in the sunlight. I rejoiced at the sight and sat on the swing beside her, hoping for a story to begin. These days it was more apt to be a family legend sort of tale, but whatever it was or however many times I had heard it, I listened rapt to Mama's golden delivery. I did love to hear of her childhood at Oldfields, when life was more simply and graciously lived, and beauty was an accepted aspect of everyday living. Present-day trips to the supermarket seemed terribly mundane compared to barrels of groceries coming by train from Solari's in New Orleans. I could just see my little-girl-mama and her sister, Pat, in their lacy white dresses, watching with excited anticipation the opening of those barrels.
Another sort of family legend that has stayed with me and affected me profoundly is the story of Malena Gaspari, a young Jewish woman who escaped Spain by cutting off her hair and donning masculine clothing. Her remarkable action saved her life and the lives of her descendants. Her fortitude and courage accompanied me on many a journey that I was sure was of the life-saving sort. Her long ago existence in some way gave credence to my own. Any journey that I feel compelled to embark upon due to untenable circumstances seems blessed by Malena, and also by Mama who made sure that I heard her story.
When my mother, Agnes Grinstead Anderson, became a published author, she cut off the hair that for so long had seemed to be her crowning glory. She signed copies of APPROACHING THE MAGIC HOUR in a face-framing bob that gave her a strong assertive look quite different from the long familiar feminine softness of her braided crown or bun. She seemed to come into her own with her words in print, her story told and read by many. I think that during that last year (before her illness) she became her crowning glory. Her whole being rose to the sunlight of fulfillment.

London's most populated borough is a leader in sustainability practices
Ken Livingstone was recently – and wrongly – dubbed 'Grey Ken' because of his announcement from Croydon that he would be running for Mayor.
However this all-too-common media portrayal of Croydon as a concrete desert is way off. In reality, the borough is the scene of a successful "councils going green" effort.
River Wandle
One of its favoured upcoming projects will uncover the River Wandle - currently blocked by concrete culverts. Croydon Council's rejuvenation plans will not only reveal the long-hidden waterway but will also create a brand-new cycle route. Eight other green spaces are going to get attention after nearly 10,000 people took part in a public vote and approved £1.5 million of improvement efforts.
Doing Bloomin' well
The council is particularly proud of several Bloomin' awards won over the last few years. They are last year's champions of Britain in Bloom in the "Best Large City" category – beating Edinburgh into second place – and have also won silver for both Britain in Bloom and London in Bloom in previous years. They crushed the competition for the quality of their street scene, their floral planting flair and their focus on biodiversity. The competition rules bar them from this year's awards, but that will at least give other entrants a chance.
The council's new vision puts sustainability at the heart of Croydon's regeneration agenda and teams from across the organisation are working together to achieve this. Their focus is on issues such as air quality, contaminated land, waste management, woodland maintenance, biodiversity and an increased use of parks.
A council spokesperson said: "We have 127 parks and open spaces that provide some of the best recreational facilities enjoyed by any borough in London. We are investing heavily in improvements to many of our parks and we think it's important to listen to what people actually want so that our work meets genuine needs."
Sustainable design
Aside from improving green spaces, high levels of compliance in construction projects means that new buildings in Croydon meet sustainable design requirements – including energy efficiency. In 2004 the council implemented the "Merton Rule" requiring renewable energy production on site for all commercial and residential development. Their commitment to environmentally friendly purchasing methods has earned the Council awards from the Mayor's office.

Castle Rock, CO – November 20, 2017 – AMF Steel Buildings, a nationwide metal building supplier, celebrates working together with steel building manufacturers to make Eco-Friendly steel building designs to counter rising electric and utility costs for homeowners.
Mitch Wirth, who owns AMF Steel Buildings stated, "People use steel buildings every single day to shelter their animals, equipment, employees, and themselves. We just wanted to find a way for people to enjoy the comforts of the new steel building, without having to worry about increasing costs of heating, cooling, and lighting."
So, why is an Eco-Friendly steel building design so competent? All is here the look! AMF Steel Buildings found out that with the addition of skylights or wall panels to some steel building, the natural sunlight would scale back how much electrical lighting needed. This easy addition for an example, can illuminate an interior riding arena for horseback riders or save on electric use in an industrial business or store setting. Additionally, by using high rated metal building insulation, this helps lessen the loss of heat or cool air from inside a steel framed structure. Again, by maintaining the right temperature in the building, this can lessen the quantity of utilities necessary to run a cooling and or heating source.
The brand new technologies which are transforming steel buildings are nothing new whatsoever. It's simply planning for a Steel Building Prices ahead of time to benefit from the various tools which are already being used.
At AMF Steel Buildings, we start using these exact design strategies for pole barns, garages, indoor riding arenas, residential steel buildings, and or commercial buildings. With the rising costs of utilities, everyone is wanting to save money without reducing the quality of expertise or building materials. We're proud to be able to offer these high-quality buildings at reasonable prices. Additionally we ship nationwide and possess steel building contractors ready to install your metal building kit that you simply obtain us.
Lastly, whenever you call our steel building experts at 1-800-204-7199 ensure you ask about our steel building financing options if you need financing for the new steel building project. We hope you will visit our website and acquire design ideas from our always growing customer picture gallery where we highlight the prefab steel buildings which our customers have purchased from, then installed inside their home or job site.

Barbarians At The Tea Party
Or How the Blunderbuss Businessman Misread the British Tea Leaves
Something is rotten in the state of Denmark
- Hamlet (1.4.90), Marcellus to Horatio
The reticence of Willard "Mittens" Romney to cooperate with his hosts' Olympian endeavors is surprising at first since better etiquette might be expected from the crusty upperclassman, although one suspects that megalomania might be the primary cause for such incivility. But upon closer examination, it becomes more apparent why this participant of "dressage" clashes with even his Tory bosom buddies.
Mittens had previously stacked his deck of foreign policy advisers with the very same neoconservatives of the last Bush administration, with such infamous names as John Bolton, Eliot Cohen, Cofer Black, Walid Phares, Dan Senor, Max Boot, and Michael Hayden (who I'm still not sure why he's even involved in this). And oh, let's not forget their prime bankroller, Sheldon Adelson, who has the most narrow foreign policy agenda of his own.
This set up of his so-called "War Cabinet" is so highly suspect that one might be led to believe that the far right wing of the Teapublican party might ride in on Mitten's coattails and claim to be protectors of "U.S. interests" (actually their own) to drum up support for another war. And you might not be far off the mark.
It appears even Dick Cheney is clawing his way back into favor, performing a supporting role as a major fund raiser. Now that's really appalling to anyone who's appreciated the rise of America's recent standing in the world up until now as promulgated by the Obama administration, and deftly dealt with by Secretary Clinton in the true role that the U.S. State Department is responsible for. American influence has been repaired to a great degree by more than adequate stewardship, and competent handling of crises.
We simply can not, nay must not, permit these ex-Bushie bumblers to plunge us further into economic disrepair and military weakness as the unrepresentative shadow government in league with inept Teapublican freshmen would have us march again. We are still struggling to recover from those highly damaging 8 years of incompetent leadership under Bush with ineffective and misguided legislation, and the subsequent obstructive and recalcitrant 112th Congress, the most polarized since the Reconstruction. The most that the sequestration cuts to defense will total is approximately 10%, to the worst possible scenario of 14%, but further expeditionary follies need to hold anyway, before the armed forces of the U.S. become broken.
Only 1 in 5 congressmen have had any military service, and that includes the current members of the military reserves who you may count on less than two hands. Former Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was the only member of Congress whose spouse was an active duty servicemember until his retirement. So I ask you, who are the true patriots now, and where are the politicians gutsy enough to stand up for their own country over party affiliation and reelection contributions ?

Just been working my way through the most recent budget for the film – drastically revised after the NZ Film Commission turned us down. I'm sure there are people somewhere who find nothing better than to pore over columns of figures – but I'm not among them. It makes me want to have a drink and a lie down.
When it comes to finance, you're either a realist or a visionary. Realists treat numbers with dollar signs in front as being concrete realities – beautiful in their specificity. They become accountants and chastise the rest of us for our frivolity. Visionaries are similar to Jewish Kabbalists – treating numbers as if they were mysterious entities which might represent something else.
On the macro scale, I've long been a proponent of the view that economists are the new religious dogmatists. They make grand pronouncements about 'the way things are', when in reality they are operating totally from a faith perspective. These people gamble with the universe, the same as the rest of us. The difference is that they cloak their magic with an aura of science.
However, when it comes to making a film, realists and visionaries need each other. The relationship is symbiotic. Just so long as financial plans remain a scaffolding, and not a substitute for the creative venture which filmmaking is.
When wielding the axe, you need to be mindful of what you're cutting!

Colin Taverner
Colin was born and raised in Newfoundland, Canada. However, due to shortage of employment, Colin left his beloved home and headed West in hopes of getting a good job. After spending a year in Ottawa, Colin returned home for his father's funeral and then went back to school for his apprenticeship in welding. Armed with his certificate, he left again for Ontario in attempt to find steady employment. In Toronto he found work for a couple of years, however, Colin was laid off for a period of time. Through his supervisor, who had brothers in Calgary with welding shops, Colin made a connection for work in Calgary. So it was that in 1991 that Colin arrived here. He was able to find good housing and work initially for the first number of years in Calgary, however, due to drinking and health issues, both housing prospects and work became unsteady and he eventually found himself staying at the shelters for Calgary's homeless.
When asked how Victory Manor has helped him, Colin reminisced a bit about his time moving in, almost two years prior. Colin said he was pleased to find Matthew, the Program Director, was able to pick him up along with his belongings and drive him to his new home, something he very much appreciated. In addition, he lives in a safe building, has his own room with enough space for his belongings, a fridge and access to a meal program during the week for a very affordable cost. Colin also loves the kitchens which he uses to make his meals outside of the meal program. Colin said that before moving to Victory Manor he had been trying to get his own place, desiring his own space and privacy . At the Manor he said that he finds this while having a sense of community, and that he is happy here.
Colin's health issues have become quite a significant challenge for him as he was diagnosed with serious brain and lung cancer. Colin endured a couple months of treatment and surgery and miraculously returned to the building which was something that did not seem possible. Colin arranged with his family to return to Newfoundland for a long visit this Fall and is hoping to return to Newfoundland permanently in the near future, something that is quite achievable given he is now on AISH and has the secure income to do so.

It's no secret that the world is changing. With it, the way entertainment works is changing, too. Now, there are new genres of content, as well as new platforms to share it on. One of the most popular platforms right now is YouTube. At a glance, it seems like all fun and games; however, when you look closely, it's clear that there's more to these creators than meets the eye.
YouTube first launched in December 2005, but it was not until December 2007 that the YouTube Partner Program started. This allowed content creators to monetize their videos and make money from ad revenue. Over the years, this algorithm has been refined and changed. Now, being a YouTuber is viewed as a job, with some creators making as much as $9 million a year.
These creators are now moving on to bigger projects. With more money to make content, as well as a wider audience, many YouTubers have moved on to higher quality productions. One YouTuber, Hannah Hart, has even made it onto Food Network with her own show, I Hart Food. Other YouTubers have branched off into things like music, movies, and even partnering with major league companies such as Disney.
Some creators have gotten caught up in the publicity. Others, though, have used their platform to do something meaningful.
Many popular YouTubers have performed major acts of charity. Not only will they donate thousands of their own dollars, but they will get their viewers to donate as well. The money is rarely even touched by the YouTuber themselves, as it goes directly to the charity. This both supports a good cause and inspires the viewers to do good on their own time.
An example of a YouTuber who does this is Mark Fischbach, more commonly known as Markiplier. As of April 2018, Mark has raised over $3 million for charity. During the year of 2017, he did monthly livestreams where each month, he would stream for approximately ten hours—give or take—to raise money for different organizations. On average, he raised $100,000 each month. The most he ever raised during one of these streams was in November 2017, when he raised over $400,000 for Save The Children thanks to the help of an anonymous donor who matched each donation.
Even those who don't do active charity efforts are making a difference. Many famous YouTubers have online communities surrounding them. Though they may not seem like much on the outside, an online community for many people can be like a family. They all share the same love and respect for the YouTubers they watch, but from that develops a love for each other. People in fandoms are supportive of everyone else in the community and use the platform to spread positivity. Some people may be going through hard times, and having close friends within a community can make it easier to face challenges.
Often, these acts of kindness are inspired by the creators themselves being kind and spreading positive messages. A lot of things that YouTubers say are the same things you would hear from a teacher or parent: follow your dreams, work hard, and spread love wherever you go. Young people who may not have an older figure to give them advice like this now have their favorite YouTuber to look up to as a hero.
Not to say that every YouTuber is a superhero; there are those who only do it for the money and fame. A lot of the genuine ones, though, have a deep caring for their fans. If it weren't for the fans, after all, the YouTuber would have never become big in the first place. The relationship between viewer and creator becomes less of a fan worshipping an idol and more of a mutual appreciation.
Thanks to the internet, we now have new ways to inspire and create. YouTubers are grasping at their opportunities in this fast-growing industry and quickly using their popularity to do some good in the world. In the future, it is likely their impact will only grow. Keep an eye on the creators you watch on YouTube; they might end up becoming the heroes of the future.

After everyone has devoured their tasty treats on Fat Tuesday, the Lenten season began on Ash Wednesday, February 13th. Lent is the forty day period prior to Easter Sunday. This time frame represents the forty days that Jesus Christ spent in the desert at the beginning of his public ministry.
Many people participate in Lent in different ways and not everyone chooses to give up something they enjoy. Some people are obligated to give something up because of their religion; while others choose to give something up for personal reasons. Many people refrain from participating.
Below is a brief list of ways people celebrate Lent:
1. Attend church more often
2. Read the Bible more frequently
3. Spend more time praying
4. Sacrifice a few hours a week not participating in activities that are distracting (i.e. watching television, reading magazines, listening to music)
5. Consuming less food or fasting on certain days of the week
6. Giving up meat on Fridays and eating seafood instead
7. Giving up snacking between meals
I do not feel obligated to give something up for Lent, but I choose to do so because of my beliefs. This year I have chosen to give up candies and sweets. Although, I know it is going to be difficult because of my love for chocolate and cake. However with support, I know that I can overcome that temptation.
If you are deciding to participate in Lent, what are you giving up and why is this important to you? If you have chosen not to participate in Lent, what are you thankful this New Year and why?
Please share your comments with us below or on our Facebook page below the advertisement for this post for a chance to win a basket full of Easter goodies!

View of the Soane & Hills below Rotas
Artist: Smith, Robert (1787-1873)
Medium: Pencil on paper
Date: 1813
Pencil drawing of the Soane (Son) River and hills below Rotas by Robert Smith (1787-1873) in April 1813. This is one of 18 drawings (20 folios) of landscapes and architecture in Uttar Pradesh taken in 1813. Inscribed on the original album cover is: 'No. 5. Ganges, Soane R. Cawnpore Jaunpoor.' Captain Robert Smith was a military engineer with the East India Company and was in India from 1805 to 1833. He designed a number of buildings in India and also repaired various Indian monuments including the Kutb Minar and the Jami Masjid at Delhi. In 1813 to 1814 he was surveying on the Mirzapur South frontier.
Uttar Pradesh in northern India is bordered by Bihar to the east, Madhya Pradesh to the south, Rajasthan, Delhi, Himachal Pradesh and Haryana to the west and Uttaranchal and Nepal in the north. The region has a rich variety of scenery encompassing open stretches of meadow, dense forests, snow-capped mountains and perennial rivers. The Son or Sone River flows from the Amarkantak highlands about 3500 ft. above sea-level north-west through many ranges of hills until it strikes the Kaimur Range, which constitutes the southern wall of the Gangetic plain. The Sone is the main tributary of the Ganga River along with the Yamuna

Vaginal discharge you may have often heard, but did you know? Lest you also have been exposed! Medical whitish circles known as LEUKORE. or Fluor Albus, which is a discharge from vagina. Discharge from the vagina is not necessarily pathological / abnormal. The vagina normally or relaxed not fluid dispensing.
Fortunately vaginal tissue layer has a powerful natural protection system, which is a higher acidity than other tissues (wow!) and the protective bacteria that benefit our bodies, which is FLORA DODERLEINS (do not be too confused her name) who lives Vagina ecosystem balance, so remain in a state of the balance.
But of course, this balance can be disturbed by other causes, such as menstruation, Disease Diabetes, use of hormonal drugs.
It can also be due to fatigue, and stress that disrupted acidity and germs that can cause infection.
Well if infection occurs, it can cause symptoms that are very disturbing, such as the onset of itching, odor causing less savory, sticky discharge, and the colors are not as liquid as usually greenish or yellowish.

SINGAPORE - Half-marathon runners at this year's Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore (SCMS) will start alongside their full marathon counterparts at Orchard Road and both groups will be flagged off at the same time.
Last year, half-marathon entrants started at Sentosa Gateway and began at 6.30am while the full marathon runners started their 42.195km route at 5am from Orchard Road.
The Dec 4 race for the 2016 edition will start at 4.30am and both sets of runners will be flagged off in waves at fixed intervals based on personal race-timings.
They will share the same 12km under the Orchard Road Christmas lighting before reaching East Coast Park, where they will split. The full marathoners continue along East Coast Park while those on the 21km route will run towards Fort Road, passing the Merdeka Bridge via Mountbatten Road before hitting the Singapore Flyer.
Both groups will reunite at Fort Road - the 33km mark of the full marathon - for their last leg of the race. However, they will run on separate lanes to avoid congestion along the route.
The 10km race will flag off at 6.45km at Esplanade Drive. All races will finish at the Padang.
The Kids dash will be held a day before the mass participation races on Dec 3.
SCMS organisers hope the new earlier start times and waved starts at the event's 15th edition will improve traffic flow while allowing participants more time to run in cooler and more forgiving weather.
The SCMS is Singapore's largest running event which attracts about 50,000 participants annually.
Other changes include two new "cooling zones" with spray mists, longer water points for hydration and room for overtaking plus added lanes facilitated by full road closures.
Geoff Meyer, managing director of new race organisers Ironman Asia, said "When planning the race, we took a holistic and consultative approach, analysing feedback from runners and re-looking the experience from the very moment participants arrive.
"We're confident that the new route and upgrades will give runners a smoother and better experience."

It seems like only yesterday celebrities were flaunting their religious believes with great pride and everyone was getting Kabbala bracelets or tried on Scientology. Today all these are forgotten, because the celebrities find every day new trends to follow and one of these is veganism.
A vegan is a person who chooses to consume only non-animal products. Vegans don't eat meat or any other animal related products and often they choose not to cook the food they eat.
Who is Going Vegan?
As celebrities are the first to enroll in every new idea or trend, many stars are posting on social media networks their vegan meals. And it seems that recently, Beyoncé is no exception to the rule. The talented singer made an unforgettable appearance at the Grammy Awards and triggered a lot of gossip about her slim-but-curvy body.
A few days after, Bey revealed her secret: she took up a 22-days vegan challenge. The great news was made public on Beyoncé's Instagram account with a snap of her vegan snack: a gluten-free, soy-free (and everything else -free) chocolate bar sliced into pieces and covered in banana pieces.
Following the Hubby
The first to go vegan from the Jay Z-Beyoncé couple was the famous rapper. He claimed that he took up the 22-days vegan challenge after a talk with his vegan friends. Understanding the benefits of a vegetable-based diet, Beyoncé followed her husband's example. The couple is known for their extravagant lifestyle and they were accused of making a spectacle of vegan lifestyle just to gain a little more free publicity.
Vegan Lifestyle- Winner or Loser?
Who is the winner in this? The two have for sure got their desired applauds when media found about their new vegan meals. With one hit the media received its new celebrity-gossip news and veganism got a lot of publicity.
Considering that Beyoncé advocates that the new diet is responsible for the healthy , hot looking body ,for sure a lot of fans embraced the idea.
Why 22-Days Challenge?
Jay-Z revealed on his blog that the 22-daysis a wise-woman's choice. It takes 21 days for the human body to break or make a habit. So in the 22nd day of a diet (or anything you took up 22 days ago) you can dive into a new lifestyle. Beyoncé's husband also stated that an animal-free diet is the natural choice because it cleanses your body improving your mental well-being.
Rumors of the couple going vegan hit the media before Christmas last year too. It seems that the trial they took on then made quite an impression even if they experienced it only for a few days. How long will this last? Most likely until the next "big thing" comes around.

Dating and bars. Bars and dating. Question: Do these two words really go together? The answer: No. In my experience, you won't find a longtime love match at a bar.
Why do I say dating and bars do not go together? I say this because I have known friends who find cheap thrills in bars but I have not known any of my friends to meet their love matches at bars. Likewise, I did not meet my wife of 10 years at a bar.
My wife and I spent this past Saturday going out to eat at a wonderful Cajun restaurant and then to a dueling piano bar in Westport, Mo., to enjoy ourselves. I was able to kick back and relax. We listened to the talented piano players tickle the ivory keys and sing 1980s pop songs. Furthermore, I had the opportunity to observe many people singing along to the songs, slamming shots, and, yes, flirting.
That seems to be all the goes on a bars–flirting. Most bars have loud music playing, so there is no chance to really talk, open up, and communicate with a potential love match. A bar is a place to listen to music, cut loose, and unwind–not a place to make a love connection and find a date.
Friends have told me they agree with my assessment. One person said, "I just don't think women date guys they meet in bars."
I've seen other people post similar statements on online forums and blogs. Some statements I've read online are:
"I made the old mistake of pubs, clubs and bars, but you cannot meet potential longterm partners in those kinds of places."
Another Internet poster wrote, "…meeting American singles online for dating and love, relationship and marriage is better than at the bar."
So, I began wondering where to go if it is better to meet people online than at bars. I know one friend who has tried many Christian dating sites. Other people I know have tried sites like Chemistry, Match, Zoosk, and PlentyofFish. I have used PlentyofFish to advertise my own business (they have an advertising side), so I am a little familiar with it and am impressed by it. I also ran across a new dating site called SinglesNet that I shared with my single friends. I have been impressed by SinglesNet.
But you say, "Scott, I hate online dating sites like SinglesNet." Okay. I hear you. I would encourage you to try online dating sites at least three times. But, there are other options you can use to find a date. If you insist on using older ways of finding dates and not online dating sites, here are some places you can look besides bars and your workplace:
Coffee shops
Art shows
Conventions. There are conventions for every subject and every fan group from comic book collectors to psychics.
Local fairs. Check out local fairs in your area. Here in the Midwest, there are many fairs in the fall.
The grocery store
Music festivals. Music festival season (summertime) is a time to enjoy the company of many like-minded people in an atmosphere free from every day stress.
You see, there are many places to find love outside of bars. If you are looking for love, skip the drinking scene. Bars and pubs are good for cheap thrills but not serious dating. If you want to date, try free online dating sites where you can search for your compatible matches. You may even find the alternative ideas I mentioned work best for you. No matter how you find a date, I wish you the best of luck.
Some interesting facts about dating sites.
As of June 15, 2010, soldiers in China are not allowed to use online dating sites, per datingsitereviews.com.
Some of the most popular free dating sites are SinglesNet, PerfectMatch, Chemistry, Zoosk, and PlentyofFish.
In 2004, U.S. residents spent $469.5 million on online dating and personals, and over $500 million in 2005, according to Wikipedia. The U.S. online dating market is expected to increase spending to $932 million in 2011.
One of the hottest trends in online dating is helping direct the babyboomers to dating sites. Around 30% of America's 80 million babyboomers are single, per Wikipedia.
According to datingsitereviews.com, in 2010 it is estimated that Craigslist earned $122 million with $88 to $99 million being profit. The Adult Services listings made up 30 percent of the revenue.
