Professional and efficient workers came in and worked all day to remove water from our house, including removing carpet and wet baseboards. By the time they left, drying machines and dehumidifiers were strategically set in the wet rooms.

One stop shopping. I was able to deal with one company to get the work completed in my house in timely manner and to my satisfaction. They coordinated the drywall, plumbing, painting, containment of leak, and even cleanup.

The detail and the quality of the work is outstanding. When they tell you a time you can bet money that they will be there on time. I would have them do work again without any hesitation.

I appreciate the very reasonable expectations which were set and met. There were no wild promises made followed by disappointment. The workers were very respectful of my home while they completed their tasks. Every attempt was made to keep my home as clean and neat as possible while major work was done.

Taxi manufacturer LTI Vehicles has advised cab companies to take advantage of the scrappage scheme to purchase a new vehicle.
The black cab maker suggested that any private hire firms looking to expand their fleet do so now or else risk missing out on their share of the limited supply of funding available.
According to Department of Business figures, more than 200,000 vehicles have been sold so far under the scheme, which provides a £2,000 incentive for buyers who dispose of a ten-year-old car as part of the transaction.
However, with the government having recently suggested that the scheme will not be extended, LTI Vehicles sales director Rob Laidler has advised taxi drivers to purchase one of its cabs as soon as possible.
He said: "The scheme will end shortly and we are advising drivers … to take advantage of this deal and purchase a new TX4 before the funding runs out."
This comes after the manufacturer earlier this week launched a new customer service initiative which will see it take feedback from drivers and trade bodies.

Bidwell Park was established July 20, 1905 through the donation by Annie Bidwell of approximately 2,500 acres of land to the City of Chico. Since that time, the City has purchased additional land, such as Cedar Grove in 1922, and 1,200 acres of land south of Big Chico Creek in Upper Park in 1995. Today, the total Park size is 3,670 acres (nearly 11 miles in length), making it one of the largest municipal parks in the United States.

Big Sky - Check Availability
This beautiful ski in/out chalet has plenty of space and entertainment to please any family or large group. This is a five bedroom, three bath, fully furnished home. It is private and surrounded by pines on three sides and has an unobstructed view of the Spanish Peaks mountain range.
This home is located on a secluded, dead-end cul-de-sac adjacent to the ski slopes and considered a ski in/out location. The home is walking distance from Big Sky Resort but still has immense privacy that many of the residences in the area close to the resort, do not. This privacy makes relaxing in the hot tub on the back deck or the Jacuzzi tub in the master suite, that much more enjoyable.

Justice League, don't read this. Jodie Foster has kept her eye on the deluge of less-than-stellar superhero movies, and she's not pleased. In an interview with Radio Times magazine, Foster said she wasn't interested in helming the "spectacle" of a $200 million superhero vehicle. "Going to the movies has become like a theme park," Foster said. What's more, stacking theaters with bad movies is a big disservice. "Studios making bad content in order to appeal to the masses and shareholders is like fracking — you get the best return right now but you wreck the earth," Foster said. "It's ruining the viewing habits of the American population and then ultimately the rest of the world," she added, but said she'd consider directing a superhero with a "really complex psychology." Batfleck need not apply.

The Dwarven Weeaboos Kickstarter has ended (435% funded!) and we're now working on the bonus content and getting the game out the door to ship to our backers. While it's still fresh in my mind, I wanted to write down a couple of reflections about the project and how it went.
Good things
I'd say the project went pretty well in general, with us reaching our funding goals and the game being well on its way to getting out there. In particular, I feel that we did great on managing project scope and incorporating and improving the tools at our disposal this time around.
Managing Project Scope
It's been quite the whirlwind at CGC Games with us transitioning from a group of gamers working to make our dream games a reality to a group of adults trying to scale a game studio/publisher into something. That isn't to say that we're eschewing game quality to switch priorities to our bottom line; we're simply now taking things like demographic preferences, shipping timings, and audience resonance into consideration as well (and we're trying to keep a better eye on our bottom line too).
Practically, this means we've tweaked our strategy from going all in on only a single large scope game every few years to pacing out smaller games more frequently. Dwarven Weeaboos is one such smaller scope project. If we had continued to be focused only on making large scope games, we would have totally missed out on the opportunity to make a game like this which resonates with its audience so well. The game's low budget meant we couldn't just rely on stunning quality artwork for the game's visual appeal, so we had to learn and innovate in other areas to make sure it caught attention.
On the game design side of things, it was also greatly informative for us to go through the exercise of attempting to make a game whose components consisted of only cards and restrict the number of them to a number near 100. This put a bigger emphasis on the quality of our card layouts and the entertainment per complexity the game offered. Further, the experience of working within a smaller microcosm forced a focus on systems design, since we couldn't just add another system to the game to induce a specific play pattern or feel we wanted.
Dwarven Weeaboos was the first CGC Game that fully incorporated Tabletop Simulator, Tabletopia and Adobe InDesign. While we have been experimenting with these tools earlier, Dwarven Weeaboos is the first project with these new tools to reach the finish line. Needless to say, having better access to quicker prototyping and lower barriers to playtesting helped the game immensely.
Bad things
There were a couple of things worth noting down for next time as well. For me personally, working on Dwarven Weeaboos ended up being very informative about what it's like to work on games and even a little about myself as a person, and within the realm of game design, working on this project has helped me recognize some further depths into complexity and play patterns to learn and study.
It turns out Nathaniel is not a memester
One of the interesting parts of working on Dwarven Weeaboos was just how ingrained the references and parodies were to the novelty of the game. Even the title of the game is mashing up and referencing two different niches: dwarven building games and anime weeaboo culture. While I don't feel antipathy toward either of those cultures, I definitely don't consider myself a part of them, so the process of providing opportunities in mechanics and writing flavor text for that niche was somewhat difficult for me. The second-guessing part of my brain still worries that there are too many game references compared to anime or dwarf references. Of course, it's totally unreasonable to expect that you're always going to be working on your favorite game ever, so I consider this experience of working on Dwarven Weeaboos where I was basically given a game concept to see through production a good one in that it helped me tap into my ability to support and work on other people's ideas. In that sense, I've found that I'm content with working on and improving other designs even if they are not my own (so long as I feel like my feedback is getting processed appropriately).
On the marketing side of things, I discovered that despite having an eye for detail, facility with social media and image editing software and a willingness to respond to comments, I find myself neither intuitively knowing what to say in a social media push nor enjoying planning what to say in them. Maybe that's just the normal work part of doing social media, but I found the combination of being obligated to have something exciting to announce on a regular basis and engaging an audience I don't know so well to be a great source of writers block.
Action Systems are always complex
The primary design goal at the outset of making the game was "make a game that the least games literate anime nerds could enjoy, but that has a greater depth than other games that appeal based on the novelty of their theme". While we could probably have gotten away with having less depth in the game (and been more successful if we had focused that energy into marketing instead), it was important to us that the game could be enjoyed after its 3rd or 4th game. It was this desire for depth that inspired the implantation of 3 turn actions which the player could spend how the pleased. While I still stand behind this system as a way to create the feel of shopping for collectibles, the game's complexity scales a little higher than I'm totally comfortable with by endgame for me to honestly say that it's exceptionally accessible.
This is furthered by oversight in balancing the game's ability to entertain as a contest of skill in with its ability to entertain as an environment in which thematic references could be cashed in on. It is possible for a very dominating lead to be formed within the game by a veteran player of the engine builder genre and last minute changes to the way that scoring information was revealed in the game created an optimal strategy that was very contradictory toward the intuitive playstyle of the game (specifically, playing waifu parts that match your collection early is very detrimental to your chances of winning due to the replacement of waifu parts becoming universally available). I would attribute the first half of this to my own blind spot of failing to realize that "engine builder" was a genre, and thus failing to study contemporaries in the genre. For the second half, I guess I can chalk that up to "small company difficulties with achieving polish".
Concluding Thoughts
Dwarven Weeaboos was a great experience for me as a designer with the biggest take-aways being finding my ability to support other game ideas and getting a better ability to understand project scope. I'm also glad that it seems to resonate quite well with its intended audience, and hopefully our goal of providing solid gameplay in addition to novelty will serve them well also. Only time will tell I suppose.

Grief Ain't Linear and Other Things I Learned From the End of My Marriage
When suffering knocks at your door and you say there is no seat for him, he tells you not to worry because he has brought his own stool. - China Achebe
It has been six months since the end of my 11-year marriage and I wanted to share my personal experience of getting through the past six months, and how working with my emotions has made all the difference.
I have room for it all
I learned that I could feel deep sadness about the end of this chapter, this identity, this relationship - AND ALSO excitement, gratitude, anxiety, doubt and regret all at once. In the past I would have denied some of these emotions as not being 'real' because I thought they couldn't co-exist. And yet they can, and even more: They always do when we are honest with ourselves.
I learned that I had room for all of these emotions, that I didn't need to reduce my emotional experience to 'just' grieving. That it was OK to feel whatever I was feeling - that I could hold them all at the same time.
It ain't linear
One of the most important experiences I had was realizing just how un-linear emotions are. One minute I would be feeling OK, and then BAM - a painful pang of remembering would show up. Or just when I thought I was reaching the end of it, I would have to deal with something new and this brought on a whole new stage of grieving. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.
It all felt more like waves than a linear progression of feeling better. Again, being OK with that, even expecting it, made all the difference.
Peaceful turmoil
I have not cried or grieved as much in my life as I have in the past months. And yet, there has also been a sense of peacefulness because I was not fighting my emotions. I was neither trying to repress them nor allowing them to explode all over the place. As much as possible, I was simply allowing them to be, to hang out.
Inner peace is not about not having emotions or difficulties in life and being permanently zen. That isn't realistic. It isn't real life. Instead, it is about bringing an OK-ness with whatever we are experiencing in all its messiness.
Hello, sadness
This experience really brought to life in a completely new way that every emotion has a right to be showing up and a reason to be there because each emotion has a role or job in our internal village.
For example, the role sadness plays is as the street sweeper of the village - signalling that something is over and needs to be let go of. Doesn't it make sense that it would be showing up at a time like this?
After all, it is only by sweeping the streets clean that we can let go of what no longer works and make room for the new.
I also viewed this sadness as a signal that I cared, that the last 15 years had meant something to me.
I realised it wouldn't be normal for sadness NOT to be showing up.
So I started to speak to my sadness as if we were old friends - because frankly, we were becoming well acquainted!
I would say: Oh hello there again sadness, my old friend. It totally makes sense that you would be showing up. You can hang out as long as you need.
And you know what? Most of the time, sadness didn't need to hang out for too long. It showed up, and we hung out for a bit, and then it moved on, and I was able to feel something else.
When we are not fighting emotions and listen to them instead, emotions deliver their message and then they move on. I see it as their having better things to do with their time.
So. Much. Anger.
I felt a lot more anger than usual during this phase. Not in the yelling at people form, but simply in the form of noticing annoyance or frustration. This is a gentler form of anger before we allow it to fester and explode.
And again, this made sense to me. Anger is about healthy boundaries - it is the gatekeeper of the internal village, and its role is to signal how it is OK and not OK for others to treat us.
I was feeling more sensitive than usual, and I used frustration as a signal that I needed better boundaries to allow me to turn within - which most of the time meant more self-care and alone time.
It is almost as if anger was telling me to put up a temporary brick wall and isolate my village a little to help in this reconstruction, mourning phase.
I respected this as much as I could, reducing my social contact to people who I felt really supported me and avoiding certain relationships that felt too draining during this time. I also didn't force myself to go out and enjoy single life until I felt ready.
Eek. So many 'what ifs?'
Anxiety is another emotion that has shown up a lot in the past few months.
Anxiety for me was filled with WHAT IFs. It sounded like:
What if I can't get by on my own financially?
What if I never meet anyone again?
How will I deal with x / y / z?
The job description of anxiety is being the risk manager or planner of the village. Anxiety wants to help us plan for the future as much as possible.
Again, I realised how normal it was for anxiety to be showing up, with all the newness, uncertainty and unknown elements of this new phase of life.
I worked with the messages of anxiety by acting on the stuff that I could do something about:
I hired someone to help me with admin stuff, with my taxes, and accounting.
I gave myself permission not to do things I was doing for the first time perfectly.
And I allowed myself to take not have to do everything at once like moving all my stuff, and to focus on just one thing at a time.
I tried opening up to the uncertainty of what was out of my control as much as possible, letting go of the (futile) need to control things that were out of my control.
Again, I didn't fight anxiety. I allowed it to do its thing and used it to help me plan for the future to the extent that this felt realistic and kind.
Staying with the discomfort
When I first moved out, I felt more pain than I have ever felt in my life. I had been in this relationship for almost 15 years and it felt like a piece of my body had been torn off and that this part of me was raw and exposed.
I felt I would never feel better.
I felt an overwhelming sense of emptiness, like a great, gaping void had opened up and would engulf me.
And I know that in the past, my way of dealing with discomfort has been to overbook my time or eat emotionally.
I knew this, and so I made an effort to really stay with what was showing up, instead of trying to avoid it or numb it or push it away. I brought curiosity to it. I tried staying with how it felt in my body, with the images that came up. I tried to explore it, to get really curious about this.
I realized that when I stayed with the emptiness, it didn't feel so threatening. That I didn't want to have this feeling but that didn't mean it was my enemy, either. It started to feel like a vast space opening up, where yes, there was a lot of uncertainty AND where anything could happen. Instead of calling it emptiness, I started calling it a space of possibility.
The perks of vulnerability
As I wrote in this article, this was also a time where I made some incredible connections.
I made some encounters that I can say have already been life-changing.
I discovered a strength in myself I only hoped I had but hadn't actually tested.
I learned to be OK with being in my own company. I realized there is so much more I can give myself that I thought - that we can all give ourselves.
I also learned just how much I can get from others, and how beautiful it can be to ask for help as well.
I learned that friends will be there when you need a reality check or to just to go out and have fun.
I learned that family will be there and offer support even when they don't agree or understand what you are doing.
I learned that being vulnerable and keeping an open heart also meant I was more touched by the goodness of people. That it was even OK to cry in session with a client because what she said touched me so much.
That there is a tenderness, a rawness, an openness that comes from being in this space. That this space can be beautiful too. It broke me open, it moved me past fears and limitations, it revealed to me a strength I didn't know I had.
Above all, it allowed me to live with my emotions in a way that feels harmonious despite the turmoil.
And I can honestly say that I would not have dealt with these past six months in this way without the skills I have gained through the work of Karla McLaren and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). This experience allowed me to put into practise in a much deeper way these approaches and I will forever be grateful to them.

Telehealth is slowly being accepted. Clifton Leaf a 'Fortune' journalist says American painter, Norman Rockwell's depiction of family physicians led to creating a particular image in the mind of Americans; white smock, stethoscope with kind eyes and infinite patience. This might be the reason why telemedicine is not living up to the hype.
He says in this digital age why do patients still visit doctors in their clinics and insist on in-office visits when the care is available virtually?
Studies have been conducted comparing the quality of virtual care to in-person care. In 2015 Cochrane report found telemedicine gives similar or rather better outcomes. A study conducted by the San Marcos based Texas State University researchers shows that telemedicine positively impacts patient satisfaction.
Despite its benefits patients are reluctant to use it and payers are more resistant to reimburse. But, this seems to be changing. Recently, Humana acquired telemedicine company, Doctor on Demand with the aim to offer quality care choices at a lower cost.
An unpublished study, presented at June's America's Health Insurance Plans expo in San Diego and reviewed by Mr. Leaf has revealed that telemedicine consultations cost $38 as compared to $114 for face-to-face visits.

Shakyamuni Buddha
Historical Name : SIDDHARTA GAUTAMA
Historical Buddha
The Buddha Shakyamuni is the historical Buddha, founder of the Buddhist philosophy and often referred to as "the Buddha".
For many, Shakyamuni Buddha, is considered by Buddhist to be a model, a guide and an inspiration. It is said that his presence on earth is ensure by the "dharma" or spiritual belief and by the "sanga" or Buddhist community. Together they form what is referred to as the 3 jewels of Buddhism (Buddha, Dharma and Sanga).
There are hundreds of reproductions of these motifs all over the world. Yet, almost every single representation will have a certain number of identical traits. These are what allow us to recognize the different Buddhas and the qualities that they posses.
Here we will look at some of the attributes associated with the Buddha Shakyamuni.
Attributes and Symbolism
Painted in shades of gold or beige and wearing monastic robes, he is seated atop a lotus throne on which are symbolically placed the sun and moon.
His lotus seat symbolizes the act of living in this world without being soiled by its imperfections. The sun represents "prajna" or wisdom. The moon represents "upaya" or the willful means of compassion.
He is often painted with his two disciples, Sariputra famous for his wisdom and Maudgalyayana for his miraculous feats. Both disciples are believed to have been Brahmins who studied the Vedas before being initiated into Buddhism.

Death toll rises after tsunami sweeps Pacific
At least 40 people are now reported to have been killed in the Samoan islands after a powerful 8.3-magnitude earthquake sent tsunami waves smashing into the coast of Samoa this morning.
Many more people are reported to have been washed out to sea and there are reports that villages have been completely wiped out.
There are also reports that seven Australians are in hospital although Parliamentary Secretary for International Development Assistance Bob McMullan says all the injured Australians have received appropriate treatment and are stable. DFAT says Australians who are concerned about friends or relatives in the region can call a special hotline on 1300 555 135.
But fears of a major tsunami hitting New Zealand do not appear to have eventuated, with the latest reports from the country's east coast saying the tsunami was only 40cm high on impact.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre has now downgraded its Pacific-wide warning.
The tsunami was generated by a magnitude-8.3 earthquake which struck 190 kilometres southwest of American Samoa this morning.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre said waves 1.57 metres tall hit American Samoa, while 0.7 metre waves were recorded in Samoa.
At least 14 people have been reported dead in American Samoa and at least five in Samoa. Reports said the tsunami flattened houses and swept away cars.
There are also fears for the fate of the island communities between Samoa and New Zealand, with three-metre waves reported from the area.
A reporter for Radio Polynesia told Radio New Zealand that villages were "wiped out" by the tsunami and people had been reported missing.
The Samoan capital Apia has been evacuated and thousands of people have been moved to higher ground. Neighbouring American Samoa has also been severely damaged by the 'quake and tsunami and it is expected casualties will be high.
A spokesman for New Zealand's Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully says the minister's office has received reports of five people dead in Samoa and "many more washed out to sea".
Australian resident Lynne Coles says she has been unable to get any information about family members on Samoa's south coast.
She says two of her cousins were killed in a car crash, caused by the initial earthquake. "They were driving on the road and as the earthquake erupted the road was cut in half ... the people were seen being thrown off the car as the earthquake erupted," she said.
The general manager of Southseas Broadcasting, Joey Cummings, said cars were swept out to sea and the water reached the second floor of the Pago Plaza building in the American Samoa capital Pago Pago.
Vincent Ilui from the village of Leone in American Samoa says the tsunami struck so quickly some people were drenched when they arrived on higher ground.
"Currently it's been announced on the radio, from the emergency operating centre ... that there's been 14 reported deaths so far and six of them are here in my village," he said.
Houses flattened
Olga Keil, a journalist working in Samoa, described the damage.
"We've got reports from the south-eastern side of the main island, where houses have been completely flattened, vehicles have been swept out to sea, boulders that have fallen of the mountain along the coastal areas," she said.
"But mainly a lot of houses in the villages on the coastal areas have been flattened by the waves."
Mr McMullan says a number of Australians have been injured but they have all received appropriate treatment and are stable.
"All of them have been able to contact their own families directly and none of them have said to the High Commission they need any special or extra assistance," he said.
"The reports from Australians suggest it was a very frightening event for people, both the extent of the earthquake and the impact of the tsunami, and we are now having to make very rapid contact with everybody."
Australian Nick Rees told ABC News Breakfast that his parents had called him to tell him the tsunami had hit the southern side of the main Samoan island, completely destroying their hotel.
"They've lost everything they have ... [but] they're alive and they're OK, my dad has broken some ribs," he said, adding that some people were missing from the hotel.
Mr Rees said he thought the guests had very little warning.
"There were people from their hotel missing... I'm assuming if dad's injured and there are people missing it was pretty quick," he said.
A brief statement issued by the Joint Australian Tsunami Warning Centre, operated by the Bureau of Meteorology and Geoscience Australia, said no Australian territory would be hit by the tsunami.
But senior meteorologist Tony Leggett says the New South Wales and Southern Queensland coastline could experience some unusual currents later this morning.
Russell Hunter, a journalist with the Samoa Observer, says the quake lasted a minute-and-a-half.
"There doesn't seem to be any damage around the capital. We are told there have been deaths on other side of the island as a result of the following tsunami - so far we are told three children in a small village on the other side of the island," he said.
Australian Miyako Armitage was working out in the gym of an Apia Hotel in Samoa when the earthquake hit.
"I thought that the men were rattling the weights a little bit too loudly, but it turned out to be quite a big earthquake," she said.
"So we ran out, as we stood around in the middle of the road we saw the building swaying quite a lot. That was quite scary."
The USA's Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre had earlier issued a tsunami warning for a large swathe of the South Pacific including Fiji, New Zealand and Tonga after the US Geological Survey (USGS) reported a 7.9 magnitude quake.
The centre later said an 8.3 magnitude quake had been recorded at a depth of 33 kilometres. It was not immediately clear if this was the same quake and the USGS's website did not provide exact details of its location.
In its preliminary earthquake report, the US Geological Survey put the epicentre 204 kilometres south-south-west of Samoa's capital Apia and at a depth of 85 kilometres.
The USGS said the region was struck by a 5.6 magnitude quake about 20 minutes after the first.

Dear Friends & Family,
I just returned from Brazil, what an amazing time we had promoting Jesus as Lord! We were again ministering in the state Bahia, the place I now affectionately call my second home. I arrived in São Paulo, 15 hours in the air, and as soon as I landed, we got in our truck and drove another nine hours to be a part of an annual conference.
Porto Seguro is a city located in the far south of Bahia, Brazil. The city holds a distinctive place in Brazilian history: in 1500 it was the first landing point of Portuguese navigators. I refer to it as the "womb" of Brazil. It is here, in this strategic city, that my friend Rene Terra Nova holds an annual prophetic conference, rallying believers for 4 days of ministry and prophetic declarations over the nation. I was surprised when he asked me to speak the second night of the conference. His charge to me was "Chad, speak about protecting and empowering a generation." Although my time was limited, God showed up in typical fashion, pouring out His spirit and grace in the service. It was a huge opportunity for me and for the vision God has placed in my heart for Brazil. Countless doors have opened for me in an unprecedented manner throughout numerous denominations and nationwide church structures. It was an honor to declare words of life over thousands of key leaders assembled at this conference.
After the conference we drove 8 hours back to the city of Feira de Santa Anna, our base of operation in Brazil. My long time friend and translator, Pastor David Suassuna, had a 9:30 am service and he was desperate to get back for the early service. David is the lead pastor of Peniel Baptist Church, I was thrilled to speak to his congregation. Yes, we were exhausted, but God moved mightily in the service. It was a joy to be with him and his church family.
Having worked in Fera for the past eight years has given me the opportunity to make numerous friendships and form genuine relationships with many key leaders. When they found out I was going to be in town for a few days they filled my schedule. Two of these events were very memorable. One was a church camp in the middle of nowhere. The crowd was of different ages, something I'm not used to doing, since most of our efforts are focused on teens and young adults. Despite the demographic challenges, God displayed His amazing grace with the altars being filled with young and old alike, with 5 teens accepting Jesus for the first time. The pastor was thrilled considering that these were kids who had been raised in church yet had never been born again. It confirmed again to me that God is just looking for someone who will lift Him up so He can unveil His love and mercy to those whose hearts have been hardened for many years.
He can unveil His love and mercy to those whose hearts have been hardened for many years.
Our last event was an outdoor evangelistic outreach in the city center. I brought the animals for this event and they were a show stopper. A few hundred people gathered to not only see the giant python, but to listen to the message of hope that was presented. God did not disappoint and the Spirit of God fell in a dramatic fashion, touching all who were in attendance. Lives were touched, hearts melted like wax and many prayed to receive Jesus for the very first time. Thanks again for helping me go into all the world.

Memphis Going Down: A Century Of Blues, Soul And Rock 'n' Roll
Für den 15.10.2018 war das von James L. Dickerson (Autor von "Colonel Tom Parker - The Curious Life Of Elvis Presley's Eccentric Manager") geschriebene und 290 Seiten starke Buch "Memphis Going Down: A Century Of Blues, Soul And Rock 'n' Roll" bei der "Sartoris Literary Group" mit folgenden Worte angekündigt:
"For over one hundred years, Memphis, Tennessee, has been the center of musical innovation for American popular music. From W. C. Handy to Alberta Hunter and Lil Hardin Armstrong, in the early years, to B. B. King in the late 1940s, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and Jerry Lee Lewis in the 1950s, to Otis Redding, Booker T. and the MGs, and Al Green in the 1960s and early 1970s, Memphis music sizzled with a level of creativity unrivaled in the history of American music.
For five decades of the city's marvelous music history, author James L. Dickerson was at ground zero, first as a high school rock musician and then as a student rhythm and blues musician at the University of Mississippi, where his band made history by becoming the first all-white musical group to perform at a black Memphis nightclub, and finally as a Memphis journalist, magazine publisher, and radio syndication owner, who had unparalleled access to many of the music greats of the latter half of the century.
Memphis Going Down is told in the words of the record producers, performers, and songwriters themselves as they reflect on their lives and music and its impact on popular culture. You'll hear legendary record producers such as Chips Moman, Willie Mitchell, Sam Phillips, and Jim Stewart talk about the ups and downs of the industry. And you'll hear the artists themselves: Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Al Green, Bobby Womack, B. B. King, Bobby "Blue" Bland, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Rufus Thomas, members of the Box Tops, and the Fabulous Thunderbirds go one-on-one with the author in an effort to understand the mysteries of Memphis music."

Ed Balls is right. As he wrote on Thursday, an increase in VAT would be unfair to the poorest and damaging to jobs and the economy, and the coalition will be making a big mistake if George Osborne's budget includes such an increase.
Balls has said, in an email to Labour Party members, that "Raising VAT is hugely unfair. The VAT rise will hit the poorest households harder than the richest and will hit pensioner couples and ordinary families hardest of all. It is simply not right." His parliamentary question, tabled ahead of the Budget, asking for the distributional impact of a VAT rise is a smart political move which gets to the very heart of why VAT is wrong, and his stance on this issue has helped to set him aside from the other candidates in the Labour leadership contest.
But does he honestly think that if his great mentor, Gordon Brown had won the General Election Labour would not have increased VAT? Ever since 1992 Labour have been terrified of increasing the headline rate of Income Tax – clearly the fairest way of raising revenue – and all the evasions during the election campaign clearly pointed to a VAT hike as their preferred tool for dealing with part of the deficit. Yes, Alistair Darling – rightly – increased the top rate to 50% in his 2009 Budget, but this can clearly be seen as the act of a dying government which had suddenly found a lost reserve of courage. It certainly wasn't a typical example of the New Labour approach to fiscal policy.
Balls' posturing on VAT is of course naked opportunism, designed to bolster his bid for the Labour leadership, and I can't blame him for that. The party's leadership contest has yet to burst into life and hasn't come anywhere close to engaging the wider public. Perhaps Balls has found an issue which can resonate with many who are sceptical at best about Osborne's "we're all in this together" nonsense.
None of that changes the fact that VAT is a thoroughly regressive tax and that it will be a particularly appalling day for the coalition (and in particular the Lib Dems) if Osborne is allowed to push through a hike.
But had Labour pulled off the impossible and won the General Election they would certainly have increased VAT – no question about it. As Balls himself admits, all of their campaign rhetoric pointed in this direction. For him to claim now that there would have been any other outcome demonstrates that he is either plainly dishonest or deeply delusional.

This past December we were invited to our friends' Christmas party at the república, Rápo-Táxo in Coimbra. Rápo-Táxo is one of Portugal's many repúblicas, which are houses for students and alumni from local universities. The closest American equivalent would be fraternities or sororities, but the república is so much more than that. Instead of being elitist and exclusive, most repúblicas go out of their way to be inclusive. This extends not just to students of varying backgrounds, ethnicities, and beliefs, but to their friends, visitors, and people in need of a meal or a place to stay.Read More
The Cats of Morocco
I originally booked a trip to Morocco because I missed the desert. About once a year my husband and I would drive through the American southwest to hike and camp and live among nature for a week or two. I knew we couldn't afford to fly back home to make this happen, so I looked for a desert closer to Portugal that was reasonably priced and ended up choosing Morocco.
During my research for our trip, I kept seeing photos from Morocco of cats on the streets and throughout the souks. I read travel reviews that mentioned cats, mostly telling people to stay away from them because they might have rabies. I decided early on I wasn't going to stay away from them. I gathered up all the treats my cats refused to eat because they are spoiled American cats and packed them in my luggage.Read More
Year End
Another year draws to a close and while I'd like to be out tonight celebrating with the rest of Coimbra, unfortunately I'm going to be stuck at home surrounded by piles of used tissues, throat lozenge wrappers, empty mugs of tea, and one very sympathetic cat. There really is no good time to get sick, but I wish I could have pushed it off another week or so.Read More

Welcome back to our series on the Deadly Sins of Incentive Compensation. As is often the case, many best – and worst – practices are obvious, but we sometimes need a reminder. In this post, let's look at a Deadly Sin that is less obvious, at least if you go by the number of times it's committed, and that's…
.Deadly Sin #12 – recoverable draws
Just to be clear, a "draw" is an incentive payment made to sales reps that isn't immediately tied to commissions earned. Companies that institute draws usually do so for the following reasons:
New sales reps typically don't earn commissions at all during training, and little or none during a ramp-up period while they're developing their territory.
In businesses where a small number of big-ticket transactions is common, or revenues are "lumpy" for other reasons, draws can help smooth out the sales rep's earning stream.
In companies with accelerated compensation plans, the largest payouts may occur late in the year, and draws can level out earnings throughout the year.
Many companies make the terrible mistake of paying recoverable draws. These are payments netted against commissions earned in the future. And if the rep leaves the company before earning back that draw, he/she owes the company the unearned draw, at least technically. On paper, this sounds reasonable – after all, why pay salespeople unless they ultimately bring in business? – but recoverable draws have some serious drawbacks (no pun intended):
They're demoralizing and demotivating. The rep is finally about to start generating revenues, but is he/she going to see any cash? NO! The first $X of commissions earned does nothing but pay off the unearned draw amounts.
They're unfair (#1). All new employees have an initial development period, where they accomplish little besides learning what the company does, how it functions, and where the coffee machines are. And they still get paid their normal compensation. Companies should understand that this dynamic is just as true for salespeople as it is for everyone else, rather than by simply giving them a loan against future earnings – that's all a recoverable draw really is.
They're unfair (#2). I have never worked with or heard of a company that actually chose to claw back unearned draw amounts from a terminated sales rep. In other words, the only salespeople who actually end up paying back recoverable draws are the successful ones. Does that sound fair or reasonable to you?
In summary, recoverable draws are a terrible idea. I have nothing against paying sales reps draws when they have little or no prospect of earning commissions – that's especially true for brand-new reps who haven't developed their territory yet. But those draws should be nonrecoverable, and viewed by the company as a cost of training and employee development. Moreover, nonrecoverable draws motivate early production – it's a powerful and positive incentive for a new sales rep to realize that if he/she can find a way to bring in business quickly, he/she can keep the commission earned AND keep the draw.
In most other situations, draws of any sort aren't appropriate. Instead, everyone should just grow up and recognize that lumpy earnings are a part of life for sales reps. If the issue is that the company has highly accelerated commission plans, there are ways to level out commission earnings even in those cases – but that's a complex topic, for another blog post.
Sometimes, the ideas that sound most sensible actually aren't.

Belleek Castle is an iconic Irish Country House, Restaurant and spectacular wedding venue. Set in sprawling woodlands along the River Moy, Ballina, Co Mayo, you will find the charming & tranquil castle, the ideal setting for beautiful and enchanting photo opportunities. Straight from the pages of a romance novel, guests will be in awe as they approach from the fairy-tale style forest.
The historic Neo-Gothic home of the Knox-Gore family, was wonderfully restored in the 1960s by Marshall Doran to its former glory and beyond. The internal décor is stunning with a number of styles and themes to be found throughout the castle.
Guests will be greeted in the Main Hall with a drinks reception; the room incorporates a medieval but homely style with medieval paintings, tapestry's ornate ceilings and its large open fire. Guests can then make their way into The Library Restaurant for tea and coffee or on to the Armada Bar, which as you can conjecture from the name has a strong historical nautical setting, this is impressively the case with the great oak baulks used in the bar salvaged from ship wrecks along the Wild Atlantic Coast. Moving into the lounge where the original 19th century style has been preserved and creates an idyllic relaxing atmosphere.
The wedding will make its way to the Main Banquet Hall for the dinner reception where the fine dinning experience is transferred from the restaurant to the tables. The philosophy from the kitchen is to search for "Depth of Flavour" exercising classic and imaginative techniques while using seasonal ingredients and local produce.
The design and ambiance in the Medieval Banquet Hall will take ones breath away, King and Queen throne for the bride and groom behind the antique top table, stunning flower displays and table settings, low lighting, medieval columns and stone work, decorative wooden paneling and ornate ceilings all complement the enormous open fire in the 13th century fireplace where often the package can include a pig roasting on a spit under vaulted ceilings! The room is truly magical, the ambiance, food and total setting of the castle will live long in the memories of each guest.

At E & L Lawn Care, We Let Our Customers Do the Talking!
Your Columbus neighbors have plenty to say about their great experiences with E & L Lawn Care. No other lawn care company can match our combination of skill and personal service. Call today for a free consultation.
I have been a loyal client of E&L Lawn Care for 5 years. Without a doubt, I can say that Jay and his crew provide impeccable, professional and quality service, leaving my lawn looking incredible time after time. Jay Edwards and his crew at E&L Lawn Care are definitely the best at what the do. You will not be disappointed. Thanks again Jay!
I had the Pleasure of hiring E & L Lawn Care over 5 years ago. I continue to use their services because of their excellent customer service, dependable staff and one stop shop variety of services. Thank you Justin for providing outstanding service.
Thank you so much! Fantastic Job! I will be sending you more money for a tip. Next year I'll have you out more than one for help.
It was a pleasure to come home from work today to a beautiful yard. Your crew did a great job. Thank you Justin.
We had a very positive experience with E&L Lawn Care. Jay, the owner, was very prompt to all our messages, much more than other bigger landscaping companies that were very difficult to get in touch with. They successfully removed our old deck and put in a beautiful patio in about 3 days. The price was budget friendly, and they even came back to fix an issue (not caused by them) when needed. If we ever have another lawn care need, we will be sure to check out E&L again!
This company is awesome! If you want quality at an affordable price, then by all means go with E and L Lawn Care. They installed pavers in my patio for under a $1,000! You can't beat that price. Most landscaping companies want to do work for a minimum of $2,500. I had pavers installed for 80 square feet and I paid less than a $1,000. E and L Lawn Care did an amazing job!
My husband and I are so pleased with the work done to our yard last week! It turned out better than we had envisioned. Many thanks to all the guys who worked hard to make it look great; everyone was very friendly and accommodating to last minute requests. Great interaction with Jay and Ryan, and Lee who called to check to see how things were going. We'd definitely call E & L for future landscaping needs!
Had a great experience with him, very hard worker, very professional, will highly recommend him
Loyalty, is a human quality to be sure, I, however, know a business that has that quality, too: E & L Lawn Care of Columbus, Ohio. I have been with E & L for over 7 years and they have never let me down. In the Spring and Summer the E & L Crews come to my home weekly to mow, edge, and clear my patio, walkways, flower beds, and driveway of grass clippings. If clumps of grass are left on the lawn after mowing, those are power blown away also. My lawn has the professional, manicured look I desire. In the Autumn, my leaves are gathered and hauled away flawlessly. There's not a leaf, branch or twig left on my lawn or in my landscaping to rot and cause bare spots next Spring. In the Winter, my walkways and driveway are cleared of ice and snow. If a storm is particularly bad, it is nothing to see the E & L Crew out clearing driveways and sidewalks at midnight, or one or two in the morning so the client is safely able to navigate out of the garage to get on his way to job. That's loyalty! E & L is a large business with many, many clients; nevertheless, they operate as if they are a small, mom and pop organization making sure the client for whom they are working is treated like a close, personal friend. The business is loyal to its clients…isn't that refreshing.
We contracted Jay and the crew to install a paver patio behind our House Although they attempted to do the install in early January, the weather did not cooperate. Needless to say, the patio is now done and absolutely beautiful. Jay exceeded our expectations. We look to have a fun filled summer and fall spending time on the patio and sitting around the fire pit Great job guys. Would recommend this company to others. We will be having them out to install a bed wall and landscaping around the patio later in the year

Ugly Brothers: Lighting up Reykjavik's enduring gloom
The Ugly Brothers are artists based in Reykjavik, Iceland. They are most known for their bold boozed-fueled creations plastered in and around Iceland's capital. With an unpredictable style that varies piece by piece, the Brothers have a knack for combining letter form and imagery. Interview below —>
So both of you are from Iceland? And for the record, are you actual brothers?
Yes, both are from Iceland born and not raised. In the record we are not brothers, but our fathers are still the same person. It's complicated. Our youngest 'Sniper' is adopted.
How long have you been painting and doing graffiti? Other artists in the family?
We have been doing this now for many years. Since there was actually a scene in Reykjavik. The only other artists in our family are con artists and we are very proud of them.
Can you describe how growing up in Iceland was for you? How did it affect your style and urge to paint? Was the cold a big obstacle for you to go out and paint?
Reykjavik is a cold place, dark and cold. It's nice to visit but to spend many winters here without leaving is a suicidal mission man. We are in a funny place geographically when it comes to style, we don't know if we should be eating hamburgers and doing chrome block letters or drinking croissants and painting like we have three left hands. We are some kind of style stepchild.
In the winter we drink a lot because its cold and depressing, in summer people drink a lot because the sun does not go down and we think we are happy… Yeah we drink a lot.
Is it easy to find large surfaces to paint on there (looks like there's a lot of open/desert areas from your instagram posts)? Any run ins with the law? What's Icelandic police like?
We know this city like no one else does, we always find some nice places. But being very active in a city this small is all about finding good spots without breaking too many toes. In younger years we had a lot of run ins with the law. Later years have been more peaceful, but we can smell a clash with the police in the next years for sure. You don't run around smoking unless you want to get burnt. (Since we wrote this, things have changed.)
Since you first sent us this interview, the law has been looking to put us in trouble a lot. They have arrested people that they think is us and even gone so far to take them to court for the crimes we have been making. We don't think anyone really appreciates all the crime we commit for this city. In the end, they will find us, it's hard to be a famous criminal in Iceland.
I saw a video of a trip you guys did around Europe/Lithuania… What was the premise of the trip? Any anecdotes that stand out from that trip?
We went to Europe to search for love, we maid many friends but no love. We only ended up with each other like always. I think the biggest experience for us on this trip was getting introduced to the Pizza Burek in Ljubljana.
Honestly, I think you guys are bound for big things if not already... Your work is beautiful, unpredictable, unassuming. Love how how you use urban areas as your canvas. Any mural commissions or gallery showings coming up?
We just finished an exhibition up in Berlin on the June 15th - 19th in Urban Spree Gallery. There all of the brothers and the larger family flew to the mainland of Europe to drink Pilsator and tag in the streets around this gallery. Urban Spree was a great guy and we hope to also do this next year! Also we are working on a great new book, we will show how cold and shitty it is to live and paint in Iceland and how nice it can be to go on vacation. So keep eyes open for that.
How do you usually decide on where to paint? Does your inspiration for a particular piece come from the canvas you choose?
Mostly we let the booze decide for us, sometimes we are sober and see a nice wall and make a decision of our own… The outcome of each piece is of course influenced also on how much we drank and what paint is available at each time.
So you guys are part of RWS Crew? Is that a group you formed in Iceland?
Now you're sounding a little too much like a police.
Other mediums you like to work with?
Tattoo is big for us now, it is a good medium and also a lot of people can pay for it so we are trying to make money this way. So we can eat good food and drink alcohol that is also from the shop.
Other artists or music you are currently really into?
These days we only listen to the Icelandic band called SKRATTAR, they are killing it here. They are all about smoking cigarettes indoors and wearing sunglasses at night, pretty cool guys. Also Pink Street Boys, they can really make a grown mans ears bleed.
Any other trips on the horizon? Recommendations you would give to someone visiting Iceland?
Next trip we will take is around the island, that is something we can also recommend to the fucking tourists. It's super nice, and also the swimming pools, they are super nice.
Lastly, some advice you would give to the kiddos out there?
Don't do drugs, don't do suicide. And remember, school is for fools!
