The past week has been a mix of all things fun and not so fun.
The fun side has been, what with it being half term, I got to share a few days away in Weybridge with family and with my exciting, energetic and wonderful nephews, age 8 & 10, keeping me firmly on my toes and active.
The not so fun part was that on our returning home on Friday, my mum was taken ill and the last couple of days has been running around at GP surgeries, GP visiting home and finally ending with a hospital visit Saturday afternoon. After numerous blood tests and investigations, mum is recovering back at home with some medication and other wonderful natural and herbal remedies I have added into the mix to aid her recovery over the coming days.
In addition to the medication and the remedies, I have been making healthy and nutritious 'one pot' dishes to speed up her recovery, ensuring that whatever I make is fully loaded with anti-oxidants, minerals, vitamins and much needed magnesium, potassium and fibre!
Hence, thinking about the dishes I have created over the past 48 hours, I wanted to share some of them with you. Of course these dishes are suitable for everyone however I feel and know that as our parents start to get older, and indeed we start to get older, we don't always manage to consume all the nutrients that the body so desperately needs hence creating these 'fully loaded' healthy & delicious dishes.
Firstly, my big advise is KEEP HYDRATED! Regardless of the weather outside, be it hot or cold, drink…..drink lots of water (minimum 2 litres a day). Hydration or lack of it is one of the highest killers amongst the elderly in hospitals today. It is not only an easy way to ensure the body is kept healthy, it is FREE! In this country we don't have any excuse for not having clean drinkable water to hand…on tap!
Keeping hydrated is key. I am lucky because I love drinking water simply because of my mums passion for drinking water. My mum makes drinking water fun and tasty and always has a glass of 'fruity water' to hand. I swear that this refreshing liquid has been a life savour for my mum after many years of not taking good care of the body (through smoking and drinking alcohol) however having given up these 2 vices approx. 25 years ago, mum has replaced it with glasses of pure juicy water day in day out. Anyone who knows my mum will know that she doesn't travel anywhere without her essentials: an orange, a lemon, a lime as a minimum.
Here are some of her creations………
It sure does make water more exciting, tasty and a pleasure to drink. Try it for yourself! You can mix any flavours you like, playing around with different herbs, fruits and even vegetables. This is great for kids and will hopefully increase their consumption of water too.
So moving swiftly onto my 'one pot' dishes.
Firstly, I make a fully loaded one pot soup which has everything in it. It is not only nutritious, it is full of vitamins, protein, carbohydrates, magnesium and more………Try it for yourself and let me know what you think
Virtuoso Minestrone 'One-Pot' Soup
The second dish I created today is a delicious Red Pepper, Sweet Potato & Butter Bean stew. This dish is so tasty it will keep you making it again and again. Try it out for yourself.
To compliment these meals and to continue on with the theme of staying hydrated, I made a delicious fresh juice packed with vitamins and anti-inflammatory properties.
For the recipe go to Vitamin Booster
Well I hope this has given you a selection of delicious dishes and drinks to try out as well as giving you some information on ways to keep the body hydrated and fed well.
It is important to fuel both body and mind with the right ingredients whether it be the right ingredients made in dishes to feed the body, the right breathing techniques, the right exercise plans and the right relaxation practices. Achieving good health is a holistic practice as well as a balance of mind, body and soul.
Until soon, I wish you much health and good wishes.

Step Up; Texas Alliance for Water Conservation holds field walk series
The Texas Alliance for Water Conservation (TAWC) knows water management is a timely and increasingly important matter to producers across the South Plains of Texas, especially during the summer growing season. In order to provide information about irrigation strategies and management technology, the TAWC is hosting a series of field walks looking at grain sorghum, corn and cotton.
These field walks take place at TAWC Site 21 on Eddie Teeter's farm located 2.4 miles south of Lockney on Highway 378. Each begins at 9:00am and there is no cost for these events. Field walks have been held on May 22, June 12 and July 10. The next is scheduled to take place on July 31, followed by walks on August 15 and September 11. The August 15 field walk will be held in conjunction with the annual TAWC Summer Field Day.
"We have had a good crowd and positive feedback from our previous field walks, and hope for the group to grow even more in number as we provide more valuable information throughout the remainder of the summer growing season," said Rick Kellison, project director for TAWC. "These field walks are a great opportunity for producers to hear from research experts and view in action the latest irrigation management technology."
Researcher and producer Dan Krieg and independent crop consultant Bob Glodt have discussed evapotranspiration, water budgets, fertilizer needs, soil probing, and other timely topics at past field walks and will continue to discuss similar subjects at future walks. Irrigation technology companies have also been on hand to demonstrate their latest equipment and answer any questions producers have.
The Texas Alliance for Water Conservation is a partnership of Floyd and Hale county producers, data collection technologies, and collaborating partners that include: individual industries, universities, and government agencies. The TAWC project was made possible through a grant from the Texas Water Development Board.

Mississauga Could Get Even More Snow and Cold This Weekend
Anyone who has put a toe outside can confirm that it has been ridiculously cold for the last little while.
And if you're tired of us telling you that it's going to be really cold and snowy outside, click out of this article and read a happy story instead!
Well, you're still reading, so we'll lay it on you.
The cold isn't going anywhere -- in fact it might get worse -- and what's more, we're likely getting up to 10 more centimetres of snow this weekend and into Monday.
First, we're still under extreme cold warning.
Due to northwest winds at up to 50 kilometres per hour, wind chill values will remain in the -35 C to -40 C range nightly, Environment Canada predicts.
"Temperatures and wind chill values will be slightly lower Friday night. The extreme cold will continue until Saturday or possibly into Sunday morning."
Then, there's the snow.
The Weather Network is predicting 2-4 cm of snow on Sunday, and 2-4 more centimetres of snow on Monday, so it could pile up at just under 10 cm. We'll have a break on Tuesday, but the snow will return with about 1 cm on Wednesday and 5 cm on Thursday.
In my expert opinion (as someone who dislikes the cold and the snow), it's best to hibernate with some good ol' Netflix all weekend.
Remember, if it's too cold out for you, it's too cold out for your pets, too!

I've always enjoyed the Austin City Limits. It's just such a great staycation, worth the ticket price considering the show is a short bike ride away.
This year Amber took the boys to the Hill House, for a restful weekend, and to make room for Langdon to stay at our house and enjoy his first ACL. Needless to say, a good time was had by all. I think Amber only complained about a little blood on the door of the master bedroom, and the cops definitely did not make it to our house Saturday night.

"Clear and Straightforward"
When I called Briddick for the first time he had just flown in from a family reunion on the east coast. Despite jetlag, he met me at my house that same afternoon. Later, at his office he explained in detail the process of listing. He was very clear and straightforward. I needed to make a few repairs and he arranged all of that. I don't live in Bellingham and really appreciated Briddick's local knowledge. With his help I sold my house quickly and over my asking price.
"Sellers Dream"
Working with Briddick has been and is a sellers dream -- Briddick and his team have taken care of everything -- always with a pleasant attitude and a smile :--) We are in the process of a purchase of land with Briddick & his team also and I look forward to a great experience going into this.
"Encouragement and Connections"
Within a week of working with Briddick, I had a purchase a sale agreement signed and was on my way to owning my first home and investment property. What may appear a little fast to others is actually proof of how well he listened to my wish list and purchasing parameters. Briddick answered all of my questions, linked me to appropriate and professional auxiliary services, and closed on time: which was no small feat. I would not have my new home if it were not for his encouragement and connections within the community.
"Great Group of Professionals"
We highly recommend Briddick Webb and his team as a great group of professionals. They are knowledgeable about all aspects of the marketing and sales process. We couldn't be happier with our experience.
"Promptness and Understanding"
My wife and I were very impressed with Briddick's promptness and understanding of the local real estate market. His knowledge of technology streamlined the entire process from start to finish. This proved to be helpful when making our decision on which home to purchase. He provided us accurate information and service at all times. I can confidently recommend him to anyone looking for an experienced real estate savvy agent.
"Attention to Detail"
Briddick helped me purchase an investment property while I was out of state and unable to actually be on the ground to facilitate my purchase. Briddick's attention to detail was essential to my smooth home-buying experience. Highly recommended!
"The Process was absolutely seemless"
I was an indecisive first time home buyer, every realtors worst nightmare. But Briddick was different, he approached my first home purchase as an exciting experience, and really took the time to explain everything to me. Purchase and sale contracts are daunting, and there are a lot of moving pieces, yet Briddick was diligent and kept me and the sellers on track. The process was absolutely seamless and stress-free. His assistant provided me with timelines and his partner covered for him if he was not available for an immediate need. Briddick also attended my inspection and my signing at escrow, in case I had any questions. If you need to buy or sell a home, I highly recommend Briddick and his team for all of your realtor needs. I cannot speak more highly of him.
"Consistent Professionalism"
Briddick demonstrated consistent professionalism as he successfully sold our duplex and negotiated the purchase of our new home. While these transactions can quickly become steeped with emotion, Briddick remained pragmatic and focused on finding solutions. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a real estate agent who listens to his clients, lets them evaluate properties without pressure and follows through on his promises!

The public tender for a residential site at Farrer Road (pictured) may be launched in about two weeks, according to the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA).
This comes after the URA accepted an application from a developer which committed a minimum bid of S$28.88 million for the 0.27-ha site.
Made available for sale under the reserve list on 30 April, the land parcel is expected to yield a gross floor area (GFA) of 3,839 sq m. It is centrally located near the Botanic Gardens MRT station and accessible via major roads and expressways.
Png Poh Soon, Head of Research at Knight Frank Singapore expects the winning bid to range between S$990 and S$1,000 psf ppr and the expected unit selling price to be around S$1,800 psf and S$1,900 psf.
"We expect strong competition with about 10 to 15 bidders for the site, due to the premium location and low land price quantum of around S$40 million," he said.
Png added that the site is a "rare acquisition opportunity for developers, given its prime location within District 10".

Case studies in intentional innovation
Below are some case studies in using intentional innovation.
University Prep: Teacher Development
University Prep is a school community with a remarkable history and story. Our seven enterprising founders envisioned a school where intellectual courage, social responsibility and global citizenship would reside front and center to help each student reach their potential. The ethos of our community has remained constant over time, while our program continues to evolve in line with contemporary educational research and best practices. You will never hear the phrase, "we've always done it this way." Instead, you will enter a community that asks "what if" and "how might we."
The Intentional Innovation
All University Prep teachers participate in ITIP, the Individualized Teacher Improvement Plan. This is UPrep's system for individual teacher growth and evaluation. Intentional innovation is built into the three-year, ITIP cycle.
Over three years, each teacher gathers their ITIP team, identifies a key facet of teaching practice to work on, completes targeted professional development, makes changes to their teaching practice, studies evidence of the effect on student learning, reflects on their progress using this evidence, and presents their findings to their peers.
For more information about this intentional innovation, contact: Richard Kassissieh, Assistant Head of School for Academics and Strategic Initiatives

York School: Library redesign
Since 1959, York School has created an exceptional college-prep experience for our youth: inspiring them to develop intellectual curiosity; challenging them to create and try new things; and preparing them to be passionate contributors in college and in life.
At the base of this experience is the strong and welcoming York community. The 225 students in grades 8-12 join us from from public and independent middle schools in Monterey, Santa Cruz, and San Benito counties and around the world.
The Intentional Innovation
Informed by a two-way exchange with the Stanford d.school, York School used the design process to redesign their library. To begin, the academic coach and librarian led the creation of an empathy map through studying the student experience from different perspectives. The team then visited other libraries, developed a master redesign, prototyped design elements in the existing space, and finally, adopted the final solution. The result? High satisfaction with the new design. Staff plan to survey students and faculty to follow up and report to donors who helped fund the project.

UCDS: Designing a new type of student assessment
UCDS was born as a lab school on the campus of the University of Washington in 1911. Since the inception of this school, our teachers have assumed the role of educational researchers as they designed, implemented and evaluated our programs. Today, as a professional practice school, UCDS is engaged in ongoing educational reform. Our school is a dynamic learning environment for teachers as we work together to understand and inspire each child that we serve. Like our students, teachers at UCDS collaborate with colleagues and support each other professionally. No one works in isolation. Everyone is called upon at one time or another to coach, to present, to consult, to conduct action research, and to network. Each faculty member brings different expertise and experience, enriching the learning environment for others.
The Intentional Innovation
Guiding Question: How do we design an assessment tool that reflects a child's growth and development while also communicating our program values and inviting dialogue between home and school?
The Early Education program at UCDS spent many years adapting or implementing a range of assessment tools to track student growth and development and share this information with families. Each tool we employed allowed us to share a checklist of skills with families, but felt disconnected from the classroom context and thinking processes students employed. We wanted opportunities to, in collaboration with families, analyze and uncover how students were making meaning about the world they lived in, and how this directly influenced their skill development.
We embarked on a journey to create our own assessment tool that not only focuses on the skills children should have when they "graduate" from our program but also reflects our program values and invites back-and-forth dialogue between home and school. UCDS Early Education Student Profiles provide a space for parents and teachers to talk about skill development and learning goals within the context of how students learn both independently and as part of the classroom community.

The Williams School: Beyond AP
The Williams School is a coeducational, college preparatory, day school for students in grades 6-12.
The Williams School's mission is to foster the intellectual, moral, aesthetic, and physical development of young women and men in preparation for college, a lifetime of learning, and active participation in a changing society. Founded in 1891 in New London, Connecticut, The Williams School encourages learning and self-discovery in a collegial atmosphere that provides academic challenges and personal rewards. Williams engenders respectful and collaborative relationships throughout all facets of the community.
The Intentional Innovation
It began when the school identified general frustration with its Advanced Placement program. Rather than seeking a solution right away, staff took 15 months to identify ways in which the the AP was and was not working. They formed focus groups and reached out to three dozen colleges before writing a proposal, which they then put before every constituency in the school. Even the board of trustees voted on the proposal, although it was an operations issue.
Having made the decision to change, the school then spent nine months presenting it to the school community. Now, five years after the change, the school is spending a year in reflection about how the move to an advanced courses model has gone. This innovation process is familiar to everyone in the community and has proven effective with different kinds of program questions.

The Bullis School: Grammerly App
Visit Bullis on any day and you'll encounter something fun...or curious...or especially fascinating...from a class speaker to a crazy experiment, filming or role-playing, shows and fairs, and much, much more. Twenty-first century education is more than sitting in a classroom. It's engaging students with hands-on work, project-based learning and interdisciplinary activities that balance the day and bring learning to life. That's what you'll find at Bullis every day, every month. Throughout the year, students enjoy a great array of activities that make learning fun as well as educational, on a campus that values student life, balance and individual development in equal measure to academic challenge.
The Intentional Innovation
English teachers had observed that students were not proofreading essays before submitting their work. If they were to use a digital tool, it should offer to teach students how to correct their own mistakes, not just correct them automatically. In collaboration with the director of technology, English department chair, and two English teachers, the upper school technology coordinator identified Grammerly as a potential solution, confirmed that its features aligned with teacher goals, ran a pilot implementation supported by Grammerly, and is now implementing school-wide.

The Exploris School: Classroom Structure
At The Exploris School we are committed to global education. Since welcoming our first class in 1997 our school-wide instructional approach has been based on preparing our students for life in an interconnected world. We explore new ways for students to learn about the world and themselves. Together, Exploris teachers, students, and parents have created a dynamic learning environment that truly redefines the K-8 educational experience. Innovation and excellence are the standards we use to measure our success, and we have earned a reputation for both.
The Intentional Innovation
Every Exploris faculty member serves on a study team that is guided by 10 core values. One study team planned for the school's transition into the first three floors of the first energy positive building in North Carolina. Since the move was two years out, the study team decided to prototype a program shift in advance of the physical move. They conducted extensive research, considered different models for organizing teachers and students, and settled on a double homeroom structure for each grade with two teachers and one assistant teacher. Since this represented a big shift from the single-teacher classroom, teachers and families were consulted to assess support, and a financial model was developed for review. The team implemented the prototype in time to assess and adjust the plan before the big move.

Picture this: it's Sunday morning and I'm staring out the window as the rain is falling, all forlorn and disgustingly miserable while sirens are probably undulating off in the distance somewhere. You can picture it, right? Probably because you've seen it in every typical sad scene involving rain and windows. That was me this past Sunday. And Monday, Tuesday, and probably Wednesday. All because I had writer's block, straight static fuzz where there should've been creative juices flowing in 1080p.
Now bare with me, of course the forlorn stares and self-thrown pity party stemmed from a deeper place. Like you know it's bad if you're dropping words like forlorn. My journey so far with writing has been a series of bright and exciting sunny days followed by prolonged periods of rainy days, not just because of writer's block but because of everything that comes along with leaving familiarity to follow what you think is your calling. For myself, writer's block is the symptom of larger issues like fear, stress, and uncertainty to name a few. I often create my own barriers to writing by overwhelming myself with questions and possibilities: Should I focus on short-fiction or freelance articles? How long will it take to reach my goals, see returns on my work? Am I even any good? Is my work thought-provoking or entertaining in the slightest? What kind of job can I get in the meantime if it all doesn't work out? Will all these little projects amount to anything? Who's gonna die next on Stranger Things? Should I have kept my day job? What is the meaning of this obstacle course we call life? Cue the forlorn stares into what can only be a deep, dark black hole.
So after several stress naps evoked by the above overwhelming doubt, I finally decided to get back up and shake it off. I was also kindly reminded of my last post on making revolutionary resolutions and just couldn't bare being labeled a hypocrite so early on in the year. I was overcomplicating my situation and so I carved out a brilliant plan to simplify things, go back to basics. It consists of some exercises and simple tools and resources such as word prompts like the one on WordPress itself, as well as some more nuanced exercises involving jars filled with random words, phrases, and pictures that can be grouped together to carve out a story.
If you've also got writer's block and are moments away from forlorn stares out your window, below is a list of what I have in my jars:
T – Things or Objects (Microwave, TV, kettle)
Q – Qualities or Attributes (Redemption, forgiveness, creativity)
P – Places or Settings (Park, Theatre, Church, Hospital)
G – Genres or Themes (Comedy, romance, thriller)
L – Line from another story OR pictures from a magazine
You can do a combination of any or all of the jars. Jars 1 and 2 go particularly well together for creating metaphors. Jars 2, 3, 4 go well for creating a specific scene. I've started with Jar 5, a random picture from a magazine, and I've been building a story from that picture. Stay tuned for the story.
In the meantime, happy writing!

Brighton Fringe: Stuperstition
Are you superstitious? Do you believe in luck? After watching Stuart Lightbody's show - Stuperstition, at the Brighton Fringe you won't know what to believe any longer.
Being a magician in my past I am always interested in other performers, especially those with a real talent for what they do, Stuart is such a talent. Stuart Lightbody is a multi-award winning South African sleight of hand artist and psychological illusionist, whose entertaining show revolves around superstitions and why we believe in them and more importantly, perhaps why we should not. Stuperstition is filled with impossible feats and thought-provoking demonstrations seamlessly weaving reality with suspicion and amazement.
His show is currently playing at The Marlborough Theatre as part of the Brighton Fringe and is a MUST see.

Japan has been on my list of places to go for a while, and it definitely did not disappoint. In fact, as I mentioned last week, I got a good number of images from there that I'm excited to share, and I'm struggling to decide how to chop it up for content, without just overwhelming everyone with images from a single destination. I'll figure it out though!
Anyway, I thought it fitting to start my series off on Japan with this image I captured of the Biwa Lake Torii. In the Shinto tradition, the torii are gateways to important shrines (in this case, the Shirahige and Iwato-sha Shrines). When I think of Japan, these gates are definitely one of the first things that come to mind.
How I got this particular image is a bit of a funny story. I had been dying to do some night photography while in Japan, and either the timing or the conditions just hadn't worked out. BUT, I'd rented a camera I was considering buying, and I really wanted to put it through its paces (how well a camera captures the Milky Way is currently my selection process, as it's the one thing my current camera doesn't do well). Well, as it turned on my second weekend in Japan, while I was staying in Osaka, the conditions were clear, and so was my calendar. There was one catch though, I had no car. This was a particular problem because while there is a train that goes all the way out to a town close by, the last train left the station at 11… and the Milky Way didn't appear in the sky until after 1AM. Furthermore, I'd likely be able to get a cab *to* the gate, but I'd probably have to walk back to the town where the train station was (by my estimation it was a little over a mile… not that big of a deal). Sooo…. I got myself out to the town, loaded up on snacks, and got a taxi to take me out the shrine (the driver looked at me funny for sure). By this point it was around 9:30PM… there were two trains left, so I had time, but not much time. I sat and stared out at the lake, and at all that light pollution from Osaka, and likely even Tokyo… I wondered if I'd ever be able to get rid of it. I wondered how bad the passing cars would mess with the shot (I was sitting on a wide flight of stairs that went down to the lake from the side of a highway. I decided I'd come all this way, I might as well stick it out (I had nothing else to do!)… so there I sat, on the side of a highway… all by myself…. until about 1AM, and then another photographer showed up, and then another, and then three more… before I knew it, I was surrounded by about 12 – 15 other photographers, all enjoying the Milky Way as it rose over the torii. I was clearly at the right spot!
After I was done taking pictures, I packed up and walked up the side of the highway. I was the first person to the train station, and one of the few people on the train when it came. I was exhausted, but happy! What an experience!

Poker has advanced through recent years. You'll find various varieties of poker played as texas hold em poker, draw poker and party poker. Though the rules might differ marginally based on the combinations of those cards, yet the vocabulary of hands and moves remain exactly the same.

The sole real secret weapon would be you as well as your strategy.
Absolutely free games: you can find several free online flash games which you can play and hone your abilities in poker previous to getting in to playing real and setting these stakes.
No emotional games: About the desk, each player and the dealer could easily see their competitors and are going to have the ability to evaluate the card that the player receives their thoughts. The crazy reactions may certainly speak volumes about the card obtained, dependent on what the experts could alter their plans for best results.
Ease: you don't need to walk directly to a casino and look to get a dining table where there is space to perform with. All you want to do to become an internet game is to sit down before one's personal monitor and log into one of the many games out there pussy888.
Play in multiple tables: In
poker you can play only a single dining table whereas in virtual poker, it is a player in several tables, which allows one to hedge the proceeds.

Q13: Last of the Invaders/
Just finished photographing the last of the All Quiet on the Martian Front tripods I have been working on. This last batch consisted of another three scout tripods, two grenadier tripods, seven assault tripods and a power node terrain piece.
That's a lot of points for the Painting Challenge!
Rather than have the tripods as a separate Martian army, I'm going to use them as the AFV element of my Invaders army that uses the Khurasan Alien Invasion range as its core infantry component. As I've also now had a chance to photograph all of them, it means another gallery added to the Q13 section of the website: one that shows the entire force.
You can find that by clicking here, but here's a picture of the army en masse:
Oh yes, finally, someone wrote in asking what colour the tripods were sprayed: it was Ford Neptune Green from the Halfords range of car paints.

Where did March go? It feels like I just got my head around the idea of new years and now it's officially autumn. It's pretty mild so far, warmth and saltwater for a few more weeks yet, but I love the change in the evenings. I love being able to pull my quilt up and wear socks. It rained yesterday and I made a big pot of laksa which felt GOOD.
Some things on my mind of late, in between all the busy:
* A beautiful long-form piece from Farrin Foster of CityMag, charting a year of festivals in my hometown of Adelaide. I got to experience Adelaide Fringe this year, for the first time in nearly ten years and was so proud to see my town come alive. There really is nowhere like it, in the world, not just Australia. Adelaide is just the perfect size and sensibility to support an amazing festival culture. 'Festivals reflect and shape us, and there are few other forces in our society that are at once so powerful and so accessible'. High-fives Adelaide! I can't wait to move home and be part of it.
* Obsessed with this find from Miss Moss about the artwork of David Drake and Samuel Burgess Johnson for The 1975. All the neon, all the sweeping landscapes and cluttered corners and the fractured lines of songs. I couldn't love it more.
* Yup, yup, yup. Signing up for this supergroup situation, no question.
* My friend Tania was interviewed over on OK REAL! She has a lot of insights and killer advice, as you expect from their site. Nice work all 'round.
* I could read Eileen Myles all damn day. She's here for the Biennale and tickets are free and I couldn't be more excited!

This year in Pac-12 baseball
OREGON STATE won its second-consecutive Pac-12 Championship after going 23-7 in league play. Ranked in the top-five throughout the entire season, the Beavers earned the No. 1 overall national seed in the 2014 NCAA Division I Baseball Championship. OSU made a school-reacord sixth-straight NCAA postseason appearance and hosted a regional in Corvallis for the second-straight year. Four other teams earned NCAA postseason at-large bids in ARIZONA STATE, OREGON, STANFORD and WASHINGTON. The Pac-12 runner up Huskies finished just two games back from the Beavers after being picked to finished 10th out of 11 teams in the preseason poll. UW returned to the NCAA Championships for the first time since 2004 and reached 40 or more wins for just the fifth time in program history. In one of the most unpredictable regional rounds in NCAA Baseball Championship history, only three of eight national seeds advanced to Super Regionals with only one Pac-12 team managing to advance out of the Regional round. The Cardinal--who finished tied for fifth in the league--upset Indiana to win the Bloomington Regional thanks to a two-run walkoff homerun in the Regional final. The Beavers fell to UC Irvine in their respective Regional final, while the Sun Devils, Ducks and Huskies all fell in regionals on the road. Stanford traveled to Nashville to take on Vanderbilt, but the Cardinal's hot bats couldn't overcome the Commodores' stingy pitching staff. With no teams advancing to the College World Series, streaks of two-consecutive Pac-12 NCAA Champions and 17-straight years with a Pac-12 representative in Omaha were snapped. OSU sophomore outfielder Michael Conforto was named the Pac-12 Player of the Year for the second-consecutive year, while Beaver LHP Jace Fry earned Pitcher of the Year honors. WASHINGTON junior shortstop Erik Forgione was tabbed the Defensive Player of the Year, STANFORD freshman right-hander Cal Quantrill was named Freshman of the Year and Washington's Lindsay Meggs garnered Coach of the Year laurels. Conforto and Cardinal third baseman Alex Blandino were both chosen in the first round of the 2014 Draft. In total, the Pac-12 saw 54 players drafted.

The music itself was good, and I liked how everything fit together. However, while I'm not sure if he commissioned it to be like this or not, I feel as though the rock came in a bit late, considering it's halfway through the song.
Thanks for the comment! Yes, he needed the rock part to come in when it did in order to fit the visuals. I think the edit that he used might have had a bit shorter intro, but it didn't affect the overall feel of the track that much.
Thanks again for commenting. I always appreciate the feedback! :D
I thought it was pretty awesome up until the rock part. Kind of ruined it. That's just my opinion though.
Thanks for the review. Yeah, I think some will find it distasteful, while some will love it. Sort of a hit or miss thing. But I was commissioned to kick it up several notches there, but I probably could have taken it in a different direction. Thank you for the review! :)
This is good songwriting IMO...I would say 1-don't be afraid of rocking out (let your inner rocking out shine!) 2-work on the mixing. I'd bus/ compress/ eq the drums in layers alot--keep doing this till you get them up front and sounding full--I use at least 3 tracks for my kick alone. They've got to rock in epic orchestral. Oh, and always mix the effect tracks of the drums with one plain, clean track in each area (this is basically what the concept behind NY or Parallel compression is).
Good ideas and mood, though, keep it up!
I appreciate the advice! I think the big issue here is that I actually used a drum sample set, so it's all just one track. Unfortunately, my computer doesn't have enough ram to run several instances of Battery in order to individually mess with each instrument. Perhaps I can still apply some of that though! Thanks! :D
Please contact me if you would like to use this in a project. We can discuss the details.

Surgery is scheduled for Sept 27th with Lucas Murnaghan. He required an X-Ray (Dunn View) to confirm FAI as well as a high powered (3T) MRI to get some more detail of joint, labral tears, etc. I believe I got my referral for L. Murnaghan around April 10th, May 25th was my first appt., 2nd appt in mid July and Surgery is Sept 27. About 6 month total time from referral to surgery. I certainly didn't conclude that L. Murnaghan was my best choice based on his schedule but from everything I have read, that is a pretty short period of time from referral to surgery (in Ontario Canada). I am happy with that.
Dr. Gavin Wood in Kingston was one of my first choices, based on my early research. His location is about 3 hours from me so that was a bit of a deterrent but i was will to travel as it is extremely important to me to get this problem fixed. With some additional research or resources, I decided and concluded that Dr. L. Murnaghan would provide an equivalent level of experience/expertise as Dr Wood (How do you compare surgeons? It is impossible, in my opinion, to say one doc is better than another assuming both are competent and experienced with the specific surgery. Good doctors have surgical failures too). The ability and experience of doing labral repairs/refixations was key for me and I believe Dr Wood is experienced with refixations (as is Murnaghan). As I understand it, refixations is a more complicated surgery vs. a labral debridement (but what the heck do I know, I'm no surgeon). I wanted to know that my surgeon had the skills to both repair the labrum, if possible (assuming my torn labrum is still repairable) or to debride or shave off the scraps of labrum that are un-repairable. As I understand it, shaving off the labral tear is an easier surgery than repairing the labrum and the training involved with learning the labral repair is more specialized. From that (right or wrong) I concluded that whoever had labral repair training was more skilled and experienced at fixing hip labrums.

About Me
I have studied and worked extensively with three 'feminine' Master Plant medicines over the last 21 years; Ayahuasca (the Grandmother), Cannabis (the Mother) and Cacao (the Maiden).
From 1998-2012, I apprenticed with a traditional Plant Medicine Shaman, in the Peruvian Amazon. From 2006-2010, I was Founder and Director of Hemp Global Solutions Ltd, growing hemp research crops in the UK and educating on the importance of this crop for medicine, nutrition, fuel and shelter. I also created 'Hempower,' a Hemp porridge, and sold hemp seed and hemp protein powder under my food label AMARU.
In 2013, after completing my Plant Medicine Apprenticeship in the Peruvian Amazon, I returned to the UK with 21 pounds of Cacao in my rucksack to offer traditional Plant Medicine ceremonies in the West, using Cacao. I facilitate sacred traditional Cacao Ceremonies around the world and train others to work with Cacao through a fully immersive Cacaoista Apprenticeship..
Since 2015, I have been deeply involved in promoting and reinvigorating the Hemp industry in the UK. I am Chair of the British Hemp Association and have set up an environmental hemp company called BioHemp Solutions Ltd remediating toxic and degraded soil.
I also educate on the importance of 'Plant Consciousness' for our future survival, and teach others the importance of 'Living Shamanically' in the urban jungle by reconnecting them back to Nature, and the natural cycles and rhythms of life.
I have a BA (Hons) in Study of Religions, and MSc in Development Studies, both from SOAS University, and a Post-graduate Psychology Diploma in the Human Givens Approach. I am also the author of 'The Shaman's Last Apprentice,' the true story of my Apprenticeship with Don Juanito, a plant medicine shaman from the Peruvian Amazon. The sequel 'Beyond Illusion' will be coming out in April 2019.
My Tribe
This journey, and the offerings you see on this website have been years in the making. I am so grateful to my tribe for all your love and support. I have been building my 'wall of love' for a very long time and I feel privileged to be surrounded by so many beautiful beings that have walked the path with me. I feel so blessed to be part of the awakening of consciousness that is happening in London and beyond. The work that I do brings people together and seeing the connection, healing and growth of those that I work with continually inspires me. So I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my (loved up cacao) heart.
Together we are stronger!
With love and gratitude,
Rebekah S.

My plans for conferences in 2019 are starting to come together. I am happy to announce that I will be presenting this coming year at the North American Collaboration Summit in Branson, MO.
Level Up Azure for IT Pros ... And SharePoint Too!
One of the things I forgot to blog about earlier is one of the best events online for IT Pros. The Azure IaaS for IT Pros Online Event that has been hosted by Rick Claus is giving IT Professionals some great information about Azure and specifically the infrastructure as a service (IaaS) offerings. Azure keeps adding incredible services for Azure users including some recent additions:
- D-Series VMs with more memory and dedicated Intel CPU Cores
- G-Series (aka Godzilla-Series) with even more memory and dedicated Intel CPU Cores
- Premium Storage on SSD for Standard D-Series and G-Series servers that will offer 4,000 IOPs per VHD (Standard storage offers 500 IOPs per VHD).
Getting an opportunity to play with these services has excited me to what Azure can offer IT Professionals. One of the best uses of Azure for IT Pros is making "proof of concept" environments. You can prove how technologies work while not taking any of your current on-prem hardware. Another easy use is running development or QA testing environments. In both of these cases, you can turn on and off the environment while you need it and only be billed for the environment while it is on.
But I have buried the lead here folks. On Thursday, at 12:00 Pacific time, I will be talking about SharePoint on Azure. Yup, that's right … I will be talking about how to run SharePoint on Azure. There are some tweaks and best practices I will be talking about with SharePoint on Azure IaaS. I will also go over the new Cloud App Model (CAM) and how you can use Azure with it. Lastly, there's a few other things Azure can help with around SharePoint. I am including my introduction video here:
I recommend you heading over to http://aka.ms/levelupazure to watch the recorded sessions and to see me live tomorrow. If you can't see me live, you can always catch up on the recordings.
My Azure Hosting Hiccups, or "How to Shoot One's Self in Your Own Foot"
As you might have read, I moved my website onto Azure a couple of weeks ago. I have not looked back at all. Well, okay. Two events made me rethink my strategy around hosting on Azure. One was my own doing and the other is a conflict between DotNetNuke and the Azure SQL model. Both were resolved and I am again 100% on hosting via Azure, until the next problem rears its ugly head.
Let's review how I got to today. First, I started out on Azure with my DotNetNuke instance using the DotNetNuke Azure Accelerator. It was a miserable failure and I was floundering. I also had other issues going on that night with various technologies and decided to skip it. Then, I found the ease of setting up my Azure hosted DotNetNuke CMS system. Success!
Let's move on to last Saturday, March 2nd. I decided to do some re-configuring of the website on Azure. First thing, I reviewed my account and my bandwidth and processing needs were pushing the limits of the free account. I had to change from their "Free" webhosting instance to the "Shared" model. On top of that change, I wanted the URL to be my own website's URL and not the azurewebsites.net version that is created when you setup a website on Azure. Lastly, I wanted to use a publishing system so I could upload changes to my site when update came out. In my case, the only one I had some experience in (and not very much as I find out) was GIT but I did not want to tie my Azure site to GitHub, so I selected localized GIT on my desktop. With all of these actions, I pulled out the gun, filled and loaded the magazine, chambered a round, and pointed it at my foot.
Sunday morning rolls around and I get a text message page at 6:30 am; my Azure website is offline. HUH? How can it be offline? Did Azure have another one of their illustrious outages? Looking at the site on my phone, I got at 502 error. Ummmm … "Bad Gateway"??? Thinking my DNS was having issues, I went to the default Azure website URL and got slapped with another 502 error. My site was down! Jumping out of bed, I fumble into my computer and start to look at the issue. I pulled up the Azure Portal, my site, my monitoring services and my VM hosted mail server to get an external perspective on the issue. No matter how many times I pressed SHIFT-F5, the site was down. I checked all browsers and still the same. I had the monitoring service check from all of its servers; still down. Looking through the Azure portal, nothing seemed to be misconfigured. Checking the Azure DB, no issues were seen there. Last check was looking at the webserver logs from Azure; the logs did not show anyone visiting the site. Huh? How could my attempts from my phone, home computer and hosted VM not register in the Logs. I restarted the website services and nothing in the logs. One more SHIFT-F5 and "Ta da!", website functional. HUH? BLAM! That hurt.
I don't like having mysteries. One of the toughest thing for me in my IT world is to have something fix itself and not know what the root cause is. Many of you might remember IBM's commercials around the "Self-Healing Server Pixie Dust". I mock these commercials because parts of servers can fix themselves but others cannot. System Admins are still a necessary group of people no matter what technologies you add to hardware or software. Giving those professionals the information they need to perform good root cause analysis is more important than self-healing. Yet, this is what I was looking at. Nothing in the logs, in the stats, nor in the code told me what was wrong. Nothing like this happened the 7 days I was hosting it on the "Free" model. Being a good IT Operations person, I started rolling back my changes. Doing the easy stuff first, I reversed the DNS work and then went to breakfast. During my meal, I got 10 pages that my site was up, then down, then up, then … well, you get the idea. After breakfast, I went home and switched the site back to the "Free" model. I waited for any changes and was met with similar pages and watching my site go from non-responsive to responsive. My final thought was that the problem must be in the GIT deployment system.
The story turns very interesting at this point. Reviewing the settings for Azure, there is no way for an Azure administrator to remove a deployment system from a website. No mechanism is in the Azure Portal to change once a deployment system is selected. I was stuck with an unstable site and no way to revert back what I did. It seems Azure's method is to just recreate the site. I copied the code from my Azure website to my local computer, deleted the Azure website and created a new one in Azure, copying the code back from my desktop. Thanks to many factors, the file copying seemed to take hours though, in reality, it took 35 minutes for both down and up loads. I clicked on the link for the new site and ".NET ERROR". A huge sigh and facepalm later, I delved into what was going on. DotNetNuke was missing key files; my copy from the internet did not include them. Instead of trying to figure out where I went wrong, I reviewed what I had: an Azure website with code that was bad and an Azure SQL DB with my data. To make it easy for me, I decided to just build a new DotNetNuke installation from scratch with a new DB. Then, recopy my blog data back in to complete my work. After approximately 2 hours of work later, my site was back up and running again on the Azure URL. Success!
Going over all of the changes I wanted to make, I decided to separate out the changes and leave them for 24 hours to verify that it would not affect my site. The critical change I needed to make was changing from the "Free" mode to the "Shared" mode for the website. Azure would block the site if I did not do this because I was over my resources. This was a "no brainer" for me so this was my first change. I re-enabled my redirect from the server that hosted this site before and all was working again. Monday night rolls around and all has been stable. My next change, the URL to my domain name, was prepped and executed. My site was stable for the rest of the night and into the next day. My analysis was correct, the configuration of GIT as a "publishing" system was the cause of my outages on Sunday. Tuesday night led to a lot of review of Azure web publishing. All of the information I was able to find led me to my final conclusion; I am not developing my own code and do not need publishing. None of the systems would help me and only looked to make things more difficult. In its current mode, I can FTP files up and down from the site which is good enough for me.
Let's move on to Wednesday. I received a notice from DotNetNuke that they released 7.0.4 of their system and my site is currently running 7.0.3. I should upgrade it to make sure I am safe, secure and stable, right? As I started to download the code for the update, I got the gun back out again, filled and loaded that magazine, chambered a round, and got it aimed right next to the hole I put through my foot on Sunday. Using FTP, I uploaded the update code and pulled up the upgrade installation page. I waited for the upgrade to complete while working through my e-mail. When it completed, I turned and saw "Completed with errors". BLAM! I got to stop shooting myself like this.
One of the modern advantages of DotNetNuke is the logging that upgrades and installs do now. I was able to pull up the installation log and get the exact error messages from the upgrade installation: 3 SQL errors when it was processing the SQL upgrade statements. Looking at each error, the error messages were confusing to me. In two of the errors, the upgrade tried to determine if an index was in place and then remove said index to replace with a new one. Yet, when this was performed on my Azure DB, it threw an error saying "DROP INDEX with two-part name is not supported in this version of SQL Server". How am I going to fix this? For those of you that don't know, my start in IT was in SQL DBA and programming. I dug out my rusty SQL skills and started through the database alongside online the MSDN website for Azure SQL. In no time, I figure out what I need to do to modify the DotNetNuke code and run the SQL statements against my Azure SQL DB. The third error was even more interesting. The DotNetNuke code wanted to verify that a default value was set for a column in one of the tables. The way this is done normally in SQL Server is to query against the sys.sysconstraints system view. The problem with this in Azure SQL DB is that there is no sysconstraints view available. The SQL statement that ran returns "Invalid object name 'sysconstraints'". More digging and I found my answer; Azure SQL has the new Catalog Views of check_constraints, default_constraints, and key_constraints available. Quick change to using the default_constraints view and I found that the desired default was in place. My upgrade is now complete and a success.
As you can see, I did all of the damage myself; I cannot blame Azure for it. My impatience to not read all the way through and just get things going caused my own downtimes. I have no doubt my thrifty behavior will also be my downfall when Azure has any sort of outage in the US West Websites or SQL DB layers. If I want a website that will not go down, I need to create and pay for the Azure infrastructure to do that. For now, I am super happy with my decision. To the cloud!
Are you thinking about moving your website into a cloud provider? If not, what is stopping you from doing that? Post your questions and comments below.
Moved my Site and Blog to Azure … How Easy!
Well, I finally made the switch. As many of you can see in the URL, my blog has moved from my personal servers onto the Azure fabric. It is something I wanted to do for a while and never got quite around to finishing until now. It is not totally done but I am happy with the interim results.
For those that don't know, Azure can offer easy web hosting up in their cloud with CMS systems like WordPress and DotNetNuke. I personally do use DotNetNuke and have for several years. Installation was looking to be interesting thanks to a few projects around like the DotNetNuke Azure Accelerator. Other blog entries and wikis are out there talking about how to get this accomplished.
A few weeks ago, I tried to use these "recipes" and failed miserably. In the same evening, I also screwed up local installs of some test servers and thought if I could just strike out at a bar, the evening would be complete. The process seemed to be fraught with missing settings, steps that did not work as advertised and some complications, later found out to be caused by Azure issues.
I started down their wizard path to creating my new Azure website using the Gallery image of DotNetNuke Community edition 7.0.3. Clicking the "next" arrow brought me to their initial configuration screen where I put in my Azure URL, told it to create me a new DB for the project, and allowed me to choose the region for hosting, West US in my case. One more screen for the DB setup on a new server, the DB username and password, and which region for the DB hosting, West US again for me, and we are off to the races. The next steps are very DNN specific so I will not bore the majority of my readers with those details.
Once all was setup, I could browse to the Azure Base Site URL and look at my new DNN installation. Within 10 minutes, I had my beloved DotNetNuke 7.0.3 running in the Azure cloud without any major work on my part. I was able to install my favorite blogging module, Live Blog from Mandeeps, and thanks to my SQL knowledge, port over this blog from my personal server to the Azure site. A quick set of redirections and here you are with my new version of my blog. Now, I just need to get more content up here…
