If we could live in a world where all those incredible (and most of them deadly) movie props were real, which one would make the ultimate weapon? Could it be Mjölnir (if you are worthy, that is)? Ash's chainsaw? Or, if you know the right spells, could a wand be the best ally in any situation?
The British team of filmmakers Sneaky Zebra tried to answer the question with the second part of their Prop Wars short-films, appropriately titled Prop Wars: Prop Harder. With the help of Loot Crate, Sneaky Zebra unveiled a fun short-film full of props from various movies and TV shows, including some nods to classics like A Fistfull of Dollars.
Starting with a cameo from the galaxy's new favourite droid, BB8, Prop Wars goes straight to the action with a legendary superhero battle: Mjölnir vs Captain America's shield. If you ever considered the mask (yes, from The Mask) a powerful and useful weapon, this video will make you rethink that option – but the identity disc from Tron will do the trick for a few minutes.
The video also shows some classic weapons that are always useful in combat, such as lightsabers (from a regular lightsaber to Kylo Ren's special one), Men in Black's noisy cricket, and even the TARDIS – yes, the Doctor's ship can be an extremely useful weapon if used properly, even more if the Doctor is there to help.
While it's fun to see Star-Lord's guns against an always-powerful wand from the wizarding world, nothing can compare to seeing Iron Man face to face with Green Lantern – an odd yet interesting choice of characters as they both have some interesting abilities to defend themselves. But in the end, none of these props could ever save you from a plane crashing on the battlefield. Lesson learned.
Sneaky Zebra have made a name for themselves with their parody videos and other independent film content, characterized by their editing style and VFX work, as seen above. On their YouTube channel you will not only find their short-films and sketches, but also various cosplay music videos and even the no-vfx versions of some of their short-films, such as Prop Wars.
Prop Wars is a delight for movie fans in general with multiple references to a variety of movies that go from sci-fi to western, and the quality of the props and the video in general definitely makes the audience want to come back for more. However, the question remains: Which is the most powerful prop? Hopefully the answer will come in the third part.
Prop Wars: Prop Harder is available to watch on YouTube.

AMERICA!, Three Volumes, Six CDs, Various Artists and Composers, Harmonia Mundi
Harmonia Mundi has re-packaged American (-themed) music into seven CD sets, revealingly titled "AMERICA!", of which the first three with two discs each cover classical music. The volume dedicated entirely to Gerswhin (vol.2) is the most satisfying, musically, and never more fun than when Michael Sheppard dives headlong into Earl Wild's rollicking Porgy & Bess Fantasy arrangement. Frank Braley has the solo piano hit song transcriptions covered, which are short, small, light, and lovely. In short: "'s Wonderful!" Bertie Wooster would have played them all (just not as well) on his stays in the Metrop. Disc two takes us "From Broadway to the Concert Hall", which includes the Rhapsody, of course, the superb Piano Concert in F, and more—again in very fine performances by Jon Nakamatsu and the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra.
Amazon mp3: NA | Amazon CD: $16| ArkivMusic: NA | Qobuz download: £8.60 | iTunes mp3: $12
The "Land of Refuge" volume (vol.1) is a wild mix, more incongruous than ingenious, with early songs (including "Oh, Tannnbaum", in its "Maryland, My Maryland" version—still the state song, though here omitting references to "Northern Scum"). Add a jig, a hymn, and "Dixie's Land"… and just as you get used to that type of music, there enters Dvořák's "American" String Quartet and Rachmaninoff's Symphonic Dances in the version for two pianos. Superb performances, too (Jerusalem Quartet, Oleg Maisenberg et al.), but what a gear change, mid-disc! US-written Prokofiev, Stravinsky and Bartók follow, which fit the topic intellectually more than musically. The famous 'you'll-know-it-if-you-hear-it' March from Prokofiev's The Love for Three Oranges also comes in the economic two-piano version. The American connection here is tentative but doubly strong. Not only was the opera commissioned from- and premiered in Chicago, the march also served as the intro music for the long running radio crime drama CBS The FBI In Peace And War. Eisler's Hollywood Song Book (with splendid Matthias Goerne & Thomas Larcher) makes great sense again, as does the inclusion of Edgar Varèse, who drank deeply from the sounds of his American urban environment in Density 21,5.
Amazon mp3: NA | Amazon CD: $16| ArkivMusic: NA | Qobuz download: £8.60 | iTunes mp3: $12
"From Modern to Pop Art" (vol.3) starts and ends with neither: Samuel Barber's cantata The Lovers is underrated, underplayed, and welcome, but not modern art. And the Adagio for Strings in its 1967 form of the Agnus Dei op.11—pure gorgeousness with overtones of kitsch—certainly isn't, either. There's more of that in Charles Griffes' 1918 Piano Sonata, simply a superb—not just a "superb American"—Piano Sonata. Aaron Copland's nervous, flitting Piano Variations remind how much of a composer Copland was beyond the clichés of the Appalachian Spring and Fanfare for the Common Man. John Cage, Cathy Berberian, George Crumb et al. are "post-modern", perhaps, but surely not Pop Art—the equivalent in music of which would be what? Minimalism? John Luther Adams? That's great, though, because disc two thus becomes a panoply of American modernism—from annoying to amusing to amazing—with gems and oddities largely small enough to delight the less initiated and create selective appetite for more.
Amazon mp3: NA | Amazon CD: $16| ArkivMusic: NA | Qobuz download: £8.60 | iTunes mp3: $12
The presentation is a little flimsy, at least by Harmonia Mundi's own, standard-setting, benchmark… and then again it isn't, given the bargain-budget price.¶

Rosetta spacecraft picks up target comet's mysterious "song" | Gizmag
curated by John Payne | November 12, 2014
"On the eve of the planned first landing on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, the European Space Agency (ESA) announced that the unmanned Rosetta orbiter carrying the Philae lander has recorded a "song" emanating from the comet. The electromagnetic melody was detected by the probe's Rosetta Plasma Consortium, which is a suite of five instruments used to study 67P."

Jörn Bielfeldt's new project JBXDR to release debut record "Wave Talk" in April 2018.
"I slice music with my drums."
Deutsche Presse Veröffentlichung findest du hier.
Drummer and producer Jörn Bielfeldt (aka JBXDR) is an artist between worlds. His work kaleidoscopes between electronic and acoustic music, New York and Berlin, farmlands and touring.
Born and raised in the idyllic countryside of Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, he moved to Boston at the age of 23 to study jazz drumming at the renowned Berklee College of Music. Soon fatigued by the academic intellectualisation of the term "jazz" and rigid categories of genres, he moved to NYC after his graduation, where he continued to develop his music and skills, inspired by numerous collaborations – for example with Grammy-winning Esperanza Spalding or Brooklyn Avantgarde Band Uni Ika Ai.
"Wave Talk", his upcoming release as solo artist JBXDR, is a fusion of worlds and technologies in album form. The New York subway bounces off tractor sounds from farmlands, YouTube samples on breakbeats, fast-paced Berlin noise on Pacific waves and winds – fabricated by a Roland MS 20.
JBXDR curates an individual setup for every track: composed of hundreds of different samples and rhythms, which pave the way for his improvisation between jazz, techno, and hiphop.
Through this technique he demonstrates wonderfully warm sound collages (Wave Talk, Surfing a Wave of Populism) on mechanical funk as well as floaty groovy beats (Accelerate Everything), which are always organically arranged during live shows.
For JBXDR, being a solo drummer means constantly expanding tonal boundaries and connecting musical traditions with the mainstream.
"Wave Talk" digital album release April 2018.
"Single Slice of Time" Single Release 17th of January 2018 via Bandcamp

Emilio set to make comeback - debutes together with pronax
Two years have passed since the infamous VAC ban occured, live on stream during Fragbite Masters.
Today Joel "Emilio" Mako is counting down the minutes until tournament organizers will once again let him compete and next weekend he'll make his competitive comeback alongside GODSENT leader Markus "pronax" Wallsten.
– A lot of people will probably hate on me, but to be honest I don't really care any more. My focus lies on working my way up and I won't be able to achieve that if I put my energy on what other people think, Emilio says to Sportbladet.
On October 9th 2014, Joel "Emilio" Mako who at the time played for Team Property, received a VAC ban during a live streamed match against HellRaisers. Tomorrow, Sunday, exactly two years have passed, meaning the Swede has served his punishment, rendering the VAC ban inactive, and will once again be welcome to compete at a slew of tourneys.
A controversial return
The rules applied by many tournament organizers state that as long as a player does not have an active VAC ban, he or she will be welcome to compete in their tourney. Others, like Dreamhack and all majors, exclude them indefinitely.
In Emilio's case, the ban is active merely a few more days, and he's now preparing for a comeback. Meanwhile, other banned players might be following in his footsteps.
– Obviously it feels great that I get to compete again, the Swede says and continues:
– Back when I got banned so many got the wrong picture of me, I was never really OK with that, but since then I've learnt to ignore it. I know that the other pro players that I care about knows who I am and know I'm not a cheater.
"Me and pronax go way back"
Next weekend Emilio will debute on LAN with a temporary mix lineup. In his team we find the Epsilon duo Fredrik "freddieb" Buö and William "draken" Sundin alongside Norwegian up-and-comer Markus "maak" Karlsen and GODSENT:s world famous tactician, Marcus "pronax" Wallsten. Emilio and Pronax played together in Absolute Legends in 2013.
– He [pronax] wants to play with me and I with him. We go way back and he knows what kind of player I am. I've spent a lot of time with him and we've talked about going to events, and he just says "damn your VAC ban", because obviously he wants to go to the majors. So now we've pretty much settled on playing together in some tourneys outside of the majors.
Have you thought about how the community will react to your comeback?
– A lot of people will probably hate on me, but to be honest I don't really care any more. My focus lies on working my way up and I won't be able to achieve that if I put my energy on what other people think.
"Even sentenced murderers get a second chance"
The past two years have not exactly been the best ones in Emilio's life. In his own words he describes a time of misunderstandings and how the community has drawn conclusions about him that aren't true.
In an interview with Aftonbladet Esport last year, the Swede once and for all admitted that he had indeed used a wallhack. However, he still maintained that he wanted to "prove his innocence" – a phrase which is once again repeated today.
In your first statement you said that Valve can clear your name, and later you admitted to having used cheats. What do you mean by "proving your innocence"?
– I want to show people that what I say is true; I've never cheated in an official match. I'll play just as good now, if not better. Many believe I cheated in all of my games, but it was just that one time when I tilted in match making.
Phrasing it like "proving your innocence" is very easy to misinterpret.
– Yes, I get that. At the same time, from my perspective, had I phrased it like I wanted to show that I can play good without cheats people would've thought I cheated in official matches. For me at this point, it feels like no matter what I had said, it would still have come out wrong.
After all of these turns, how should the fans be able to trust what you say?
– I can only earn their trust by competing and performing on LAN. I've been naive, but I've also changed a lot in the past two years. I've realized that everyone makes mistakes - some bigger than others - and my mistake ruined a huge part of my life. I'm not saying that to make people feel sorry for me. I think you have to understand that everyone makes bad choices, but in the end even sentences murderers will be given a second chance.
"The community treats players very differently"
There's a clear frustration in Mako's voice as he speaks. A question he asks himself is why he's received so much hate when other people have more or less "got off free", for example the recent incident where Russian fan favorite Mihail "Dosia" Stolyaroy got caught stealth playing for the Kazakh national team.
– I am living proof that the community treats players very differently. When Dosia got busted most people just joked about it, since he's so popular in the scene. It's still cheating, although in a different way.
– I can come off as a very arrogant person. Those around me knows this and that's why they still stand behind me today. Because they know what kind of person I am and that sometimes what I say comes off in a bad way.
The offline finals of the OWNIT CS:GO Challenge will take place on October 15th. For more information about the tournament (in Swedish), check here.

OTTAWA — An Oakwood woman died of injuries suffered in a two-car traffic crash Sunday afternoon in Putnam County.
Cindy Adams, 58, was air-flighted to Mercy Health-St. Rita's following the accident, which occurred at approximately 3:55 p.m. on Road E at the intersection of Road 22.
According to a statement from the Lima post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol, Adams was operating her 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix eastbound on county Road E and failed to observe a stop sign at county Road 22. As her car entered the intersection, Adams was struck by a 2012 Chrysler Town and County driven by Mikayla Mayer, of Lexington, Ky., which was southbound on Road 22.
Adams was transported by air ambulance to the Lima hospital, where she succumbed as a result of her injuries.
Mayes and her two passengers, Michelle Mayes, 46, and McKenzy Mayes, 13, were treated for minor injuries at the scene.
Adams was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash, and injuries could have been minimized if the seat belt had been in use, according to a patrol spokesman.
The patrol was assisted on scene by the Putnam County Sheriff's Office, Putnam County Fire and EMS, Continental Fire and EMS, Mercy Health Life Flight and R & O Towing.

Barcelona v Paris St-Germain Betting: Early breakthrough expected at the Camp Nou
Barcelona's 5-0 demolition of Celta Vigo at the weekend was a timely reminder of how good the Blaugrana can be at their very best and the rest was just what they needed ahead of Wednesday's visit of PSG.
The hosts need another 5-0 win over the Parisian outfit to progress to the next round in normal time following their calamitous 4-0 first leg defeat at the Parc des Princes, yet on Saturday night Barca showed on the pitch that anything is still possible.
The fans at the Camp Nou responded with placards of support, suggesting they believe the team can produce a comeback and come kick off the biggest stadium in Spain will be filled with growing optimism.
What Barca need, of course, is an early goal and even then it might not be enough, although bet365 make them clear favourites to win on the night at 9/20 (1.45). PSG meanwhile can be backed at 6/1 (7.00) and the problem for Barcelona is that should their opponents score, it would leave the Spanish champions needing to net six times.
Backing an early goal, nevertheless, appeals, and while Luis Enrique's side can are offered at 4/1 (5.00) to be leading after 10 minutes, the price of 5/6 (1.83) for a goal to be scored before 22 minutes looks extremely appealing. Both teams will be in search of an early goal, Barca to gather momentum, and PSG to effectively kill the tie.
The French champions were ahead after 18 minutes of the first leg, and while all the talk in Spain has been of a possible comeback, PSG will surely have a big part to play in the tie. The Ligue 1 side are likely to contribute to a high scoring game and given their prowess in front of goal, the price of 5/6 (1.83) for over 3.5 goals in the game is also worthy of consideration.
Goal scored before 22 minutes at 5/6 (1.83) for a 2pt stake with bet365

IMDb Listing - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0980970/
CNS/USCCB Review - http://www.usccb.org/movies/c/chroniclesofnarniavoyage.shtml
Roger Ebert's Review - http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20101208/REVIEWS/101209969
I'm really happy to say that with the Voyage of the Dawn Treader, the third installment of the Chronicles of Narnia series based on C.S. Lewis' books by the same name, that I believe I've finally found my footing in the series, grasp and appreciate (IMHO) much better what C.S. Lewis was trying to accomplish in this children's series and, as a result, liked it very, very much ;-).
I say this because after generally liking the first installment, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, I didn't particularly like the second, Prince Caspian: The Return to Narnia. And I write this as something of a life-long C.S. Lewis fan, who's read a rather wide variety of his works from his adult parables, The Screwtape Letters / The Great Divorce, to his great apologetic work Mere Christianity to his autobiographical reflections, Surprised by Joy / A Grief Observed. However until the first Narnia movie had come out, I had not even realized that he _also_ wrote childrens' books (what an unbelievable talent!).
As a result, I do confess that I approached the Narnia series rather skeptically. And I do believe that if you've ever read Mere Christianity, an excellent, well argued defense of Christianity, you'd understand my skepticism. It's just so hard to imagine that someone could write so well in one way or even several ways to be able to write well in another. After all, Oxford and Cambridge philosophers, lay speculative fiction readers and 10 year old children are all very different audiences!
So I approached even the first installment of the Narnia series unconvinced that he could really pull it off. And as is often the case, if one approaches anything skeptically, one does find flaws. For instance I thought the extended battle sequence at the end of the first installment (an installment that I generally liked) was either needlessly long or somewhat dated. I was able to excuse it (somewhat) because I realize that C.S. Lewis was writing the Narnia series in the years immediately following World War II and that there was a need at the time for both society in general and for kids who grew up in that violence to process or come to terms with the traumatic events that had just happened all around them. However, 60 years later, I thought that the extended battle sequence could actually invite young viewers and their sincere Christian parents to look for conflicts around them (or story-telling remedies to them) that may be misplaced.
In the case of the second installment, I found the harping on the story's younger brother Edmund's jealousy of his older brother Peter to probably not be worth an entire episode. And I found the symbolism to be, at times, rather heavy-handed, even if somewhat "pro-Catholic" ;-). Edmund, the younger, is a very English name, Peter the older brother evokes the Papacy and Rome ;-). Symbolism of this kind is ever present throughout C.S. Lewis' Narnia series. At times, it is even surprisingly "pro-our side," though, _to me_ expressed in a somewhat dated, heavy-handed manner. However, be that as it may, after the introductory episode, one simply needs to appreciate that each subsequent installment is simply part of a greater whole. Further kids are the primary audience, parents reading to their kids (or watching with their kids) are the secondary audience, and so one has to let C.S. Lewis "play" while weaving his tale.
C.S. Lewis' clear focus on the kids in the story endears me more to the story with each episode. And I confess that one of the things I enjoy most about the Narnia series are the creative ways that C.S. Lewis invented for transporting the children from their world (of World War II torn England) into the world of Narnia. In the first installment, that gateway to Narnia was found through walking though a closet (a wardrobe). In this third installment, the gateway is between the two worlds is equally creative and endearing ;-).
Then the messages for child viewers are also good. Yes, there is good and evil (the primary point of the first installment), jealousy can get you into all kinds of trouble (the primary point of the second installment) and temptation can come in many unexpected forms (possibly the primary point of this third installment). These are all good lessons, especially when tempered in positive language. Lucy is briefly tempted in the third installment to be jealous again of her older sister and she's told by Aslan, the lion, "Don't be jealous of your older sister. Instead, just focus on becoming what you're supposed to be." What a lovely message! And in a line it expresses what the entire 2 hour previous episode was largely about :-).
But then, in this line is expressed the grandeur of the Narnia project. It is a series of books (films) which "talk to each other" and together express a whole. The books are already available. The movies will be coming out in episodes. Together, they give a nice Christian family with small kids much to talk about and look forward to.

This is a really good bakery, I bought some empanadas and bread, everything was good, made fresh and inexpensive. Honestly I am glad I found this bakery, cause I be in the mood for some good empanadas and this will be one of my Go-to spots. I love their hot sauce too. Make sure to ask for hot sauce so that you can pour it over the empanadas, it elevates that flavor. I like to buy assorted empanadas and freshly baked breads for my family, we all eat and we all enjoy.
" I ordered the Mini Bandeja Paisa off of the lunch menu. With the Mini Bandeja Paisa you get your choice of ground beef or steak served with rice, red beans, fried pork belly, sweet plantains, a fried egg, and white corn arepa. This is a good deal for $8.95. I chose the steak. The egg was fried hard. I usually like my eggs cooked over easy so that I can bust the yoke over the rice but that didn't ruin the food at all. The food was delicious! My friend ordered the trace o cuatro leches which is a white cake moist with condensed and evaporated milk topped with whip cream. OMG! One bite and you will swear you have been a really good girl your entire life! Sooo good! And it was only $3! If you're ever in the mood for some good Colombian food, go to La Antioquena Restaurant and Bakery!"
" When I moved to Tamarac, I stumbled across this place, but I didn't go in because I didn't know if the food was any good or not. Then a friend of mine, who happens to be from Colombia, told me that it's excellent, and he brought me here for my first time. He was right. I would love to tell you what I ordered, but I don't have a clue. I let him do it. Our waitress didn't speak English and my Spanish is about as good as Lucy trying to argue with Ricky, so I left it up to him. I told him I wanted something authentic and he suggested a dish that was like a sample of many items. It was delicious. And served with Colombiano soda, which I found I can also buy in Publix, so that was awesome! It's a very tasty cola. Try it. You'll like it. "

When I was starting out as an investor my primary goal was earning the highest return possible. Following this path I got into all sorts of troublesome stuff like options and other high risk strategies in pursuit of the golden goose. Needless to say, none of these approaches worked out. There were brief spurts of joy, and a couple +100% gainers in the mix, but overall it was a bust. What I later discovered was so counterintuitive that I literally had to rebuild the entire way I looked at investments. I found out that you don't get better than average returns by trying to get better than average returns. That was the fool's way of building temporary wealth. It turns out that earning better than average returns is only a by-product of seeking out lower than average risk.
There's this mythical investing paradigm that says high risk equals high reward and low risk equals low reward, I'm sure you've heard it. But what they don't tell you is that relationship has never actually been proven. Instead, the evidence points in the other direction – it is the lower risk stocks that produce the higher returns, and higher risk stocks that produce the lower returns. Intuitively, this makes a lot of sense. There are old investors and there are bold investors, but there are no old bold investors. That's because as you get more of it, you realize that capital is a responsibility and not a reward. So if you have a lot of capital, and you need to find something to do with it, lowering your risk is not just a choice, it's the only choice. That's one of those common sense ideas that's not so common.
So how does one go about lowering risk? Below are some ideas that have worked around here:
First off, the simplest idea: be careful with cash. For many people, cash might appear to be the lowest risk investment around. But earning near-zero percent interest while inflation ticks along at over 1.5% per year is actually a guaranteed loss. You don't have to get fancy with cash, but there are plenty of options that can be competitive with the rate of inflation.
Be selective and say "no" more. I've never tracked it, but I would guess that I say no to about 99% of the investments I look at in a given year. If I get a call out of the blue from a stock pitcher or a mutual fund salesperson, the automatic answer is no. A close friend of mine sent me an email recently about the hidden powers of no -- say no to everything. That way you can easily tell who's passionate and who isn't – the passionate ones will spend the time to follow up. Whether its investing or life, without passion, there is no return.
Buying companies with growing cashflow reduces risk. Growing cashflow allows more wiggle room on your mistakes, so if you buy something at too high a price, the cashflow growth will eventually make up for the gap. For this to work the company should have a long history of sustained cash flow growth that you can see in the financial statements. History is only half of the future, so you should also have an idea of the sustainability of that growth. Could you see people still using the company's products in their current form five years from now? Usually only the most boring and run of the mill products pass this test. These companies are the ones with staying power and make good long term holds.
Buying companies that are cheap also reduces risk. No secret sauce here, just a lot of statistical evidence showing that if one makes a habit of buying unloved stocks, they will likely earn better than average results. Of course the main issue with this approach is you need guts of steel to buy companies that everyone else is getting rid of, and sometimes cheap stocks can get even cheaper. Goes without saying this route is not for everyone, which is one of the reasons it works so well. Another thing to keep in mind is these companies usually have very short staying power, so once they revert back to normal it's time to sell and find the next one.
By combining the previous two ideas of growing cashflow with cheapness, you get a twofer. These unloved compounders are the things low risk dreams are made of.
One of my first clients, a very wise man, once told me, "Ben, don't lose my money". His success has inspired me many times over, and so in heeding his advice, I avoid situations that can result in the permanent loss of capital. If the economics become dim enough, any individual company can go bankrupt and any individual trade can result in a loss. But it's quite rare, even in the dimmest of times, that a basket of companies all go bankrupt, or that a basket of companies fail to recover from a bad market. This is not an argument to put fifty stocks in a portfolio, but it's not an argument to put only two stocks in a portfolio. Like jam on toast, spread it out but not too thin.
The final point is something I found out from a CEO with a reputation for building good teams. Before hiring a new person, consider if he or she brings the team's average knowledge up or down. In similar terms, before adding a new company, consider how its risk compares to the risk of the existing portfolio. Add a new company only if it lowers the average risk of your holdings, otherwise keep what you have.

Last week, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration released a mesmerising aerial photo showing an estimated 35,000 walruses gathered in one spot. The walruses came together in record numbers off Alaska's northwest coast because they couldn't find enough sea ice to rest on, a grave sign of a warming planet.
There was a lot of commotion over the walrus cluster when the pictures first came out — for a brief time, flights were canceled over the Point Lay shore where the walruses were grouped to avoid a panic-triggered walrus stampede — but there have been few updates about the marine mammals' status since then.
According to a spokesperson for the World Wildlife Fund, the animals have probably dispersed by now, after eating up all the food in that area.
Here's what a spokesperson for the World Wildlife Fund had to say over email:
According to our expert, there haven't been any flights over Point Lay since the Sept. 27 report, so there isn't an update on the count of walruses. Most likely, the 35,000 walrus are no longer there. Haul outs don't usually last very long and with 35,000 walrus there won't be enough food for them to stay. Such a large number of walruses probably cannot stay in the same place for very long because they will have to travel longer and longer distances to find food. Experience from previous years, has shown that around this time, walruses at Point Lay typically start filtering over to the Russian haul outs.
Here's what's coming, Russia:

Summer Daze: Our Favorite SLO County Patios
Our Favorite Central Coast Patios & Outdoor Dining Destinations
The days are longer. The weather is warmer. Let's talk patios. The signal for the end of the short cold winter evenings transitioning into lingering summer nights is the clinking of glasses under a setting sky. There are so many amazing restaurants, wine bars and breweries in the area and so many neglect the greatest asset for Central Coast living--a draw for many customers--the grand outdoor space.
People want to be outside, breathe the fresh air, wear sunglasses, listen to chill tunes and drink a brew with some amigos. These are the interludes for being in this high cost of living region.
If you enjoy this piece, check out our favorite Central Coast Mexican grills and our collection of favorite Central Coast breakfast haunts.
Manrock Brewery
1750 El Camino Real, Ste A, Grover Beach
I love Manrock. Easily my favorite outdoor space in Grover and Arroyo Grande. Manrock offers an outstanding selection of complex house-made beers and meads, delicious wood fired pizzas and juicy grilled burgers on Wednesday Pint Nights, from 4-8pm. It's one of the best deals in town and helps break up the week with a little fun. Often they have jangly hipster bands on their outdoor stage, backed by a splendid thicket grove with views down to Pismo Beach.
Don't be intimidated by the website bravado, though the logo vents goth machismo, the folks who run the brewery are warm, hospitable and knowledgeable. One of the finest breweries and beer gardens on the Central Coast.
Marisol at the Cliffs
2757 Shell Beach Rd, Shell Beach
Hard chilling done right. Every local's favorite sunset admiring patio. Marisol offers a gorgeous wrap-around with heaters, umbrellas and simple quality seating to put visitors at ease. Get there early in the summer months as this place is usually packed and seating may require patience. Occasionally, you'll luck out and have the pick of the patio, consider these rare instances a blessing and a reminder of how you should be gracious for the little victories.
Order the grilled ahi fish tacos if you're having trouble figuring out an order. Made with fresh flour tortillas, cilantro, avo, apple slices (I know, right? Trust a food writer, you want this) and their house made aioli, it's absolutely delicious. Enjoy the sunset and watch the dozens of tourists defiantly hold up their cell phones while they enjoy their the view through an LCD screen.
Luna Red
1023 Chorro St, San Luis Obispo
Hands-down one of my favorite hangs in SLO. You may catch a local celebrity, like the radiant Reese Galido from the Kicks, or Hilary from the Tipsy Gypsies lurking on the patio with sangrias. Come to Luna for their amazing happy hour specials on Thursdays, order inexpensive, yet proudly and delicately curated a la carte tasters. I love the stuffed peppers and the steak arrachera tacos.
The patio is the spot to hang in summer months, you can enjoy the view of the SLO mission, like the annual Concerts in the Plaza and an incredible meal. Bask under the terrific heat lamps on the cushy couch or near the outdoor fireplace and bar. I'm telling you, Luna brings the chill. If you are coming with a couple friends, order the paella and add some pork belly, live a little. Abut that order with one of the best Old Fashioned cocktails in the area, a testament to the work-hard chill-hard endurance.
Baywood Ale House
690 Santa Maria Ave, Los Osos
It's hard to pick only one Los Osos patio as there are so many places. Los Osos has this odd reputation in SLO and throughout the Central Coast as being a sort of stuffy hippy community with wastewater frustrations. Bear in mind, anytime I meet someone from Los Osos, they don't just say, "I'm from Los Osos." They always have some weird mythologized phrase, "I'm from the artist community of Los Osos." But honestly, you know what Los Osos does right? FOOD. Los Osos is a gastro hideaway on the Central Coast with exceptional meals. I'm tempted to rattle off some favorites, but let's focus on patios.
In the coming weeks, I'll write a whole piece on my favorite Los Osos haunts, but for now I want you to be acquainted with the Baywood Ale House, a fantastic beer garden with delicious handles of tasty, seasonally rotated craft beers and simple pub grub meals and snacks, think burgers, salads and sandwiches. I like the caprese bruschetta and the brie and mushroom topped sirloin sliders. Hard chill on their heated patio and close your brew with an easy jaunt to the bay.
Villa Creek Restaurant
1144 Pine St., Paso Robles
A great patio hang with views of the historic 4.5 acre downtown city park and all the lively Paso evening color. Villa Creek is a terrific place to grab an exquisitely prepared meal with approachable, sometimes daring organic dishes and culinary inventions fitted with seasonality. They of course host a terrific collection of local and international wines and a short list of tasty local and international brews.
The patio is fitted with bar tables, heaters and an energizing escape from an afternoon roaming vineyard tasting rooms. I recommend the duck confit nachos with mole negro and red onion relish starter and the Moroccan braised lamb or the butternut squash enchilada, one of the greatest vegetarian entrees in the area.
1245 Embarcadero, Morro Bay
The only tragedy about Dockside in Morro Bay is the crappy and hideous plastic patio furniture, overlookable to the contrasting beautiful scenery. Remember the great British proverb, when at the sea, you order the seafood. Dockside makes simple comfort food ornamented with glorious catches of the day, everything from raw tuna on a simple mixed green blanket, to crispy fish and chips and glorious oysters. Honestly, if you hate oysters or never had one, you need to have your inaugural oyster from Morro Bay's Dockside. Keep in mind, just about every oyster served on the Central Coast comes from Morro Bay, so get it from the source. Get fresh. Fresh let's you experience things like raw tuna from that-day, in all its flavorful glory. The way God intended. Amen.
Bang the Drum Brewery
950 Orcutt Rd, San Luis Obispo
Bang the Drum Brewery was a SLO sleeper hit. The word is out on the coolsville brimming from this side of SLO. Take the bike trail, passing the railroad and cruise down Orcutt Rd until you hit the now-iconic corrugated brew house. The patio is massive and the building facade rolls open to blur the indoor/outdoor boundary. Heat lamps and cushy chairs make the patio the place to be on an any kind of day.
Bring a chill game or some cards and hopefully you'll luck out with the Grilled Cheese Incident food truck in the parking lot (he's been there half the times I've gone to Bang the Drum. Check his Facebook for his schedule). Bang the Drum makes an extraordinarily simple roster of delicious beers, bring a growler and fill up for a BBQ. They often have events going on and their last Humane Society dog-night ended up being a huge success with just about every dog in SLO county making an appearance.
Robin's Restaurant
4095 Burton Dr, Cambria
Robin's is the reason a lot of people come to Cambria. They offer blankets and heat lamps for chilly nights and peaceful serenity for any visit. Sitting in the garden, you feel like you've truly escaped the concrete jungle and are basking in the retreat-life which the fabled PCH provides.
Robin's dishes are pridefully curated with extraordinary fresh ingredients, chef William Ouderkirk is an inspired culinary master who seeks local and seasonal. Get the salmon bisque; everything is good, but the salmon bisque is exceptional. Known for their terrific happy hour specials, come by on Monday through Friday between 3-5pm and enjoy any of the fantastic items on their happy hour menu: the bisque, cumin black bean nachos, tandoori jidori chicken wings or some other deliciously inexpensive dish.
Novo Restaurant & Lounge
726 Higuera St, San Luis Obispo
Constant, never-ending winner of the New Times best outdoor dining experience award since probably always, Novo still has one of the greatest patios on the Central Coast. Creekside seating with a gorgeous tree and overgrown ivy lined iron fence, you can't go wrong with any seat on their deck, though getting next to the water is a special treat.
I've never had a bad meal at Novo, but I come here only for special occasions or when I'm showing off the area to friends as it hits the wallet harder than other local favorites. I love their duck mole though it's a rare treat when on the menu, which changes seasonally, and my mother's favorite is the always tender and savory lamb. Their curries are to die-for. Absolutely perfect accompaniment on a warm summer night. The best seats in the house are creekside.
15 Degrees C
624 S Main St, Ste #101, Templeton
Described by most North County folk as one of the best wine bars in SLO County, 15 Degrees C is about cool food seasonality pared with local and international wines. Owned by the kind-hearted Sommelier Ali Carscaden, it's the kind of place where you pick up a bold bottle of something new, snack on something seasonal and shoot the California breeze with the locals on the patio.
Offering a cozy fireplace, heaters and relaxed seating, grab a plate of charcuterie and a bottle with some amigos and find your mellow while a local musician strums out the chill. I love the tapas and salad menu featuring simple, inspired dishes with cured meats, delicious cheeses and thing to spread and dip.
Thomas Hill Organics
1313 Park St., Paso Robles
Featuring one of the biggest patios on the Central Coast, Thomas Hill Organics is all about farm to table. The Thomas Hill legacy began with a local community supported agriculture (CSA) farm box and evolved into the massive Paso Robles staple with a terrific wine and beer bar and excellent lunch and dinner selections.
The owners strongly believe in the virtues of local, organic and proudly made to order. You'll find a terrific spectrum of regional dishes, but I love the pork belly, the classic cattle burger and pan seared scallops.
I'd like to make a recommendation for every restaurant webpage while I have the forum. The only things people want to see when they come to your restaurant/brewery website, the things that should be at the top of the webpage: address, phone number, hours and a link to the menu. All else is auxiliary.

Montana-themed jewelry and apparel wholesaler Made of Mountains last month opened a store in Bigfork. Initially operating as a wholesale business, the new Made of Mountains location now offers products for retail.
For Made of Mountains owner Brittany McGillivray, creating jewelry started out as a hobby during college. Her hobby continued to grow as she became inspired by the outdoors after moving to Montana.
�I had this calling to move out West,� she said.
McGillivray, a Memphis, Tennessee, native, moved to Montana in 2006 to work in Glacier National Park. A month later she met her husband who was working as a draftsman and project manager.
She started working as a bartender when her husband lost his job in architecture in 2008 during the recession. McGillivray had gone to school at the University of Memphis for journalism and advertising, and she had worked in graphic design and ad sales, but she was starting to consider a new career path as a teacher. She enrolled in classes at the University of Montana through Flathead Valley Community College and began working toward a teaching degree in 2009.
While taking classes at FVCC, McGillivray took a metal-smithing class for fun. She knew she liked making jewelry, but the class helped her to channel her passion into creating her own line.
�I�ve always been creative in a sense, but in college is when I really got into it,� she said. �It was much different than what it is now; it definitely started as a hobby business.�
McGillivray then got a job with Meissenburg Designs in Bigfork, and realized that being a teacher wasn�t what she wanted, either. She continued working on her hobby on the side � working full time as the sales director at Meissenburg during the day and making jewelry at night. At first she was sawing her jewelry designs by hand, one at a time, but she quickly learned that she needed to find a way to pick up the pace. She worked with a local metal-works and welding shop and was able to start creating her jewelry in large batches.
She started bringing her art to summer festivals, and during that time received several requests for wholesale purchases.
�I didn�t go full time until I knew I could support myself,� she said.
In 2013, McGillivray felt she had finally reached that point and left her job to go full time with her jewelry brand, Poinsonberry Jewelry.
�My business was big enough I knew I could grow it if I just spent more time with it.�
McGillivray worked out of a studio at home as she continued to grow her jewelry business. While pregnant with her daughter, she started thinking about an apparel line.
�I was super creative when I was pregnant,� she said. �I started thinking about what she would wear. � Now, I like to make things I would wear or that I�d like to put her in, stuff she can wear that I know she�ll get dirty in.�
She started making apparel for moms and kids � with shirts that say �Mountain Momma� and onesies that say �Mountain Babe.�
McGillivray started apparel as a separate line, Made of Mountains. It wasn�t until 2016 that the two merged into one and she streamlined the products with a more outdoorsy theme.
Her jewelry and her shirts feature Montana-themed images such as mountains and trees, and wildlife such as bears and elk. Her clothing also features text such as �Camp hair don�t care,� �Adventurer at heart,� and �MTN Life.�
McGillivray said what really helped her to grow were the many female mentors she had along the way, including Laura Meissenburg, her former boss and owner of Meissenburg Designs.
�[Laura] taught me so much, especially about working as a woman business owner,� McGillivray said, adding that Meissenburg had been the one to suggest that opening her own store was the next step.
The first week of May, McGillivray opened her new store offering apparel and jewelry at a retail location. She already had more than 40 wholesale accounts and over 20,000 followers on social media, and now she finally had a place where people could go to see her stuff in person.
While for many a retail space comes first and wholesale second, when McGillivray moved her production operation into the new space in March, she said a retail space happened �organically� from there.
McGillivray said she tries to stay ahead of trends, and an active social media presence is key in helping her do that. It�s also brought people into her store � and she often has customers mention that they�ve loved following her online.
�But I still have people who met me at the Bigfork Arts Festival come in,� she said. �The valley and the community have been so supportive of me and the brand.�
While Glacier Park is what first drew McGillivray to Montana, she felt it only fitting to try to give back to the park, she said, adding that 5 percent of her retail sales goes to the Glacier Park Conservancy.
As she expands, McGillivray has also added mugs, pennants, hats, stickers and decals to her Montana-themed products.
Made of Mountains is located at 7571 Montana 35 in Bigfork and is open Tuesday through Saturday from noon to 6 p.m. To find out more visit https://madeofmountains.com/ or find @madeofmtns on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Our vision is caring in action. It is our mission to empower individuals, families and communities through comprehensive community-based programs. In 2017/2018 we provided services to 10 905 individuals, more than 46% on an individual level and 54% through community and group work.

During this year our social workers handled 328 cases of child neglect. This neglect occurs on physical, emotional, medical and / or educational levels by the biological parents or caregivers.
Children are dependent on their parents or caregivers for every aspect of their existence. Inadequate parenting affect every aspect of their children's existence. Last year, Badisa Trio worked with 295 parents whose parenting skills are inadequate. The impact of this on each of these parents' children is enormous.
Last year Badisa Trio dealt with 90 cases where poverty threatened the lives of families. Many families were provided with clothes, household goods, school fees, transport money, etc. It is a privilege to spread the kindness of donors and experience the relief of parents when basic needs are met.
Behavioral problems in children are rising due to poverty, single parent families, absence of fathers, inadequate parenting skills, gangs, drugs,etc. Badisa Trio has worked with 146 children during the last year, bringing hope and change.
Badisa Trio is first and foremost a child protection agency, so when drug addiction of parents threaten the lives of children we help parents get the help they need.
Last year Badisa Trio had 94 cases of child abuse. Every one of these children are safe and secure with the help of our social workers.
Cases of sexual molestation is extremely complex. Victims are often molested by someone they know and children are often threatened with confidentiality. In most cases a forensic assessment is required to prove this offense. Without sufficient evidence, it is very difficult to provide the child with the necessary protection. Forensic assessment requires specialist skills that are very expensive. Through donors, funds are collected to carry out specialist assessments of children. Thank you for enabling us to help these children.
Last year Badisa Trio helped 53 couples who had relationship or marital problems. In these cases relationships issues led to various other issues within the family. Badisa Trio aims to keep families together and therefor assist families in various ways to strengthen bonds.
Sometimes social workers are required to remove children from their biological parents. Last year Badisa Trio has provided such services to 586 children who have already been removed from their parents' care and placed in foster care. BADISA Trio also worked with 243 parents to achieve possible reunification with their children.
We are also happy to report that 15 children could be reunited with their biological families.

Into the Blue: Why is this Moroccan town so beautifully blue?
Chefchaouen is Morocco's Blue Pearl, writes Pól Ó Conghaile. But how did it get that way?
As a child, I remember reading The Great Blueness, Arnold Lobel's book that sees a wizard bring colour to a grey world.
Before achieving the right mix, he makes some brilliant mistakes. One of them is to colour everything blue.
Walking the labyrinthine lanes of Chefchaouen in northern Morocco, I wonder: did Lobel pay a visit?
Radiating from the kasbah, the town's streets are marvellously, trippily, beautifully blue. Cascading down its mountain perch, the rinse washes over mosques, cafés, houses and shops like an Instagram filter.
There's is a key difference from the book, though. Lobel's blue made everyone sad, prompting the wizard to try again. Chefchaouen does the opposite.
Bolt from the blue
Why is Chefchaouen so blue? That's the question.
One theory says the lime wash evokes fresh water, helping keep mosquitoes away. Another suggests it originates with Jewish residents who arrived during the 1930s (the blue is said to reflect the sky and encourage thoughts of a spiritual life).
Whatever the history, it's a unique place to wander - like the pueblos blancos of southern Spain or the sparkling blues and whites of Santorini.
Ponder the origin stories over lunch or dinner in Bab Ssour (5 Rue Elkharrazin), a family restaurant accessed through a grocery shop in the lower medina.
Here, you can sit elbow to elbow with locals mopping up tender, homemade goat tagine with ridiculously fresh bread. Yum.
Cheap kick
Just walk! Watch men drifting by in their djellabas, like Jedi Knights. Spot studded doors, leading to hidden houses. Wonder at the colourful flower pots, the creeping cats and vibrant vines. Get up early, to the morning drone of prayer from minarets. Eat local goat's cheese (above), honey and olives, or sip a mint tea (Moroccans love it loaded with sugar) on the square.
I stayed at Dar Echchaouen (darechchaouen.com; doubles from c. €64), a hillside hotel just a short walk from the town. One night is plenty.
Top tip
'Chaouen' takes its name from the Berber word for 'horns', sitting as it does between two spiky mountain tops. Legend says just three Westerners visited before 1920, but the secret is out now - so make sure you visit in spring or autumn, avoiding the crowds and finding a gentler light and less irritable locals.
Get me there
Chefchaouen is a 2.5 hour drive from Tangiers, itself accessible via a short ferry crossing from Spain (conceivably, you could visit from the Costa del Sol).
Pól travelled as a guest of Intrepid Travel (intrepidtravel.com), which has a nine-day North Morocco tour including Fes, Chefchaouen and Tangier from €625pp, excluding flights. See also muchmorocco.com.

This project began, in a sense, during my high school years. I had created a series of dragon hybrid species for a project in an art class, but later scrapped the idea. However over time I kept the designs and refined them, and decided to create my own personal project for them. So I used some of the original dragon designs and expanded upon the idea to create a whole set of species designs, based off of existing animals.
I did some research on the actual animals to create character profiles and information on the creatures so I could set them in the real world. To present these characters, I compiled all the information and sketches into an illustrated scientific journal format. I used this format to further cement a sense of realism about my hybrid species, as if they had actually been discovered and documented.

The American Treasure Tour blog has developed a sort of format over the decades we've been around. (Little known and unverifiable fact: the blog was first introduced on "Ye Olde Internette," back in 1866. If you find a computer with internet from back then, you'll know just how accurate this statement is!) With Museum Monday, Tunes on Tuesday, Wacky Wednesday, Full-Throttle Thursday and Film on Friday, we got the work week set. Until now. Spontaneous as ever during our 152nd year around (same staff, too, by the way), we're changing all of that. But only when we feel like it.
Our mission remains the same: to always highlight pieces in our collection or relevant trivia and nuances to the Treasure Tour. We promise to continue to do that. For now, we hope you enjoy this image of a cricket at the dinner table. Because where else would it be - in the bathtub, maybe?

text: The NCAA's greed will continue to keep corruption alive The FBI is cracking down on fraud in the NCAA, but will it stop corruption moving forward? Share Tweet Email Print The NCAA is being hypocritical once again. In recent days, four college basketball coaches and an Adidas representative were arrested. The question is, will these investigations stop corruption in college basketball? Most likely not. On Sept. 22nd, the NCAA and the FBI cracked down on multiple universities for bribery. The FBI claims that coaches at UA, University of Southern California, Oklahoma State University and Auburn University were told to direct their players to certain sports agents in exchange for money — two of which are in the Pac-12 alongside ASU. In light of the recent investigations, ASU released the following statement regarding athletic fairness: "As a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association and the Pac-12 Conference, ASU is committed to the principle of athletics compliance and the concept that our student-athletes and athletics stakeholders play by the rules, both on and off the playing field." Certain recruits involved in the scandal took money from from Adidas executive, James Gatto, in exchange for committing to schools that are associated with the brand. "This seems to be the beginning of what can be pretty wide spread because it is still an open investigation," Bruce Pascoe, UA basketball beat writer for the Arizona Daily Star, said. UA assistant coach Emanuel "Book" Richardson is one of the various assistant coaches across the NCAA involved in the probe. On Saturday, he was fired by UA and arrested. "The fact that federal investigators are having undercover agents and going to the level they went at ... is really a surprise," Pascoe said. College basketball has a very crude and inept financial system. The players perform on the court and bring in all of the revenue and TV money yet get no pay or any family financial support. In 2010, the NCAA, Turner Broadcasting and CBS Sports agreed on a 14-year $10.8 billion contract for the rights to televise March Madness. With the league making nearly $1 billion a year in TV revenue, it is truly criminal that the players get little to no benefit from the revenue. The NCAA gets to keep whatever amount of money it desires to hoard. In response to critics, the league simply makes the excuse that the players are students and should not be paid because they are in school. In addition to the league and teams making money, the coaches are making millions as well. The recently fired University of Louisville head coach Rick Pitino was supposed to make nearly $7.8 million for the upcoming college basketball season. Most of the players' coaches are making at least six figures, and both the TV stations that broadcast them and the league itself are making billions off of their performances on the court. Being an NCAA basketball player at a major Division I school is a major financial rip off. The truth is that it is nearly impossible to stop college athletes from taking money or bribes if everyone around them is making money off of them. "Certainly there's an argument – if that you pay players, maybe the corruption end of it goes away," Pascoe said. Players in the NCAA are either taking the money and resources that are offered to them or entering the NBA Draft immediately after their freshman year. In college basketball, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. With that in mind, don't expect the corruption in college basketball to subside anytime soon.

Pico ethos
Pico was founded in 2016 by winemaker Will Henry, restaurateur Kali Kopley, and Chef Drew Terp as a destination for eclectic California cuisine, with influences from Europe, Asia, and the American South. Our mission is to create innovative food from local ingredients, carefully sourced from farmers who are committed to sustainable, organic, and humane practices. We select wines to pair with our food that follow similar ethical guidelines, with a bias towards, small, hand-crafted wines that express a sense of place.
scratch cooking
We source whole vegetables, grains and fruits from local farmers on a daily basis, which our kitchen staff carefully prepares for our menu every night. Our charcuterie is smoked and cured in house, and everything - even the ketchup - is house-made.
Much as we support the small farmers of our region, we source a careful selection of wine from the real winemakers of the world. You will not find McWine here. We have a large selection of small-production wines, from winegrowers and vintners who are committed to their craft. With over 800 wines on our list and the walls of our retail shop, there is something to please every palate.
locally sourced
We are lucky to live in a part of the world with a year-round bounty of fresh vegetables, fruits, and proteins. We make the utmost effort to source all of our fresh foods as locally as possible, and to partner with farmers that practice sustainably.
We love them, and don't think they should be excluded from enjoying our restaurant. That's why we created a space just for them. Our KID'S ROOM is only about 4 feet high, so mind your head. Chalkboard walls, toys, and ample distractions abound, which allows you to relax and truly enjoy your meal.
humane practices
We know our farmers and how they treat their animals. It's important to us to work with partners that treat their animals humanely, offering them space to live and a natural diet. We demand transparency from our farmers so that you can have the same from us.
You won't recognize most of the bottles we have behind our bar. We buy only the finest, hand-crafted, small-batch spirits from distillers around the world. We don't believe in factory-produced anything. Our craft cocktails are made with fresh juices and house-made products, using spirits with no artificial additives or coloring.

For the last two weeks I've been on vacation.
The first nine days of that vacation were spent in almost complete solitude. Other than one evening sitting around a campfire with my Airbnb hosts the only interaction I had with people during those nine days was whatever the bare minimum had to be to successfully complete a couple grocery shopping trips and a few evening restaurant meals. My goal was to put myself into as slow and silent an environment as possible and see what might happen when my brain had a chance to unclench and relax.
Part of me hoped that after two or maybe three days of psychically and emotionally detoxxing in my low-stimulus environment I would magically be inundated with great ideas. In my fantasy I would wake up early and sip my tea as I slowly walked around my rural property and thought the thoughts that would make me admired among my colleagues and beloved by my clients. I would sit in front of a fire (my fantasy didn't really register that it was July) and write big thoughts by hand in an expensive notebook with an expensive pen. Either the beginnings of a novel or a non-fiction tome that would rock the discipline of organization design to its core.
As I said, this definitely ended up being a fantasy.
Reality was quite different. I still got up early but even though I was successful in quieting my mind and shifting out of my normal routine I didn't find myself drawn to my open notebook for hours every day (regardless of how strategically I left it open and ready to go).
The first twinges of despair started to wind their way into my mind after the fifth or sixth day where my notebook remained mostly bare. And then, in a split second, for some unknown reason, I saw the situation differently and more compassionately.
It turns out that eliminating nearly everything out of my life that could've feasibly been a distraction (work commitments, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, news of all kinds… hell, basically all people) isn't the secret to having great ideas. Eliminating everything does not allow for the spontaneous generation of incredible ideas. I actually take an extreme amount of solace in this. Not that won't continue to experiment with solitude and focus and sheparding my attention — but that I don't require these conditions to have ideas.
Maybe this is my brain trying to protect itself from walking down the path of feeling like my vacation was wasted because I didn't have some kind of eureka moment? Or maybe there's something positive to be said for knowing that the hard work of being creative takes more than taking a humongous eraser to my normal routine? Or maybe the nearly week and a half of solitude has helped plant some seeds for better writing and thinking in the near future?
Everyday I try to write and publish something about my life in 30 minutes or less. Leave comments below or follow me on Twitter.
