For Lakme Fashion Week, Autum/Winter 2009
Pieter Cornelis Mondrian, born in the Netherlands in 1872, dominated his canvas with squares, lines, blocks of primary colours and black grids. Despite little recognition in his life, after his death in 1944, his work became the inspiration for Op Art and influenced décor, architecture, painting and fashion.
As homage to the life of Yves Saint Laurent and the art of Piet Mondrian, Wendell Rodricks presents The Mondrian Minimalist for Westside. In stark black and white, Wendell Rodricks skillfully blends form, texture, construction and fluid forms in Mondrian's horizontal v/s vertical philosophy. Indulging in the artists colourful expression only for the accessories and the sole sari at the finale. The Wendell Rodricks Mondrian Minimalist for Westside proves that clothing created in a rural Goan setting with international art and couture references can transcend into urban prêt wearability for India. The lines of art, couture and prêt blur in this unique collection skillfully accessorised with Mondrian inspired shoes, bags and jewels.
The Earth Goddess Collection
For Kolkata Fashion Week, Kolkata.
Seven years ago an NGO began working with the tribals who lived on the foothills of the Amboli Ghats bordering Goa, Karnataka and Maharashtra. An NGO distributed free gas for cooking and encouraged the villagers to plant saplings which could be harvested for natural dyes.
The Wendell Rodricks Earth Goddess collection uses coarse handspun cotton, viscose jersey and silk. Garments are dyed with guava leaf, pomegranate, rice konji, local plants and indigo. The dyes are machine washable, UV light resistant and anti bacterial.
Using referrals of old Indian garment shapes, a Goan resort flavour and his signature minimalist style, India's Guru of Minimalism creates styles and silhouettes that worship the Earth Goddess in subdued hues of olive, dark green ,pale grey, dusty earth, khaki and chalk white.
Lakme Fashion Week, Spring/Summer 2010
Wendell Rodricks at Westside brings to Lakme Fashion Week a sensual rhythm and fluid melody based on Brazil's languid, lounge style music : Bossa Nova.
Imagine Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro at sunset. As the sun fades into grey dusk, flashes of colour light up the clouds. In this atmosphere of sensual suntanned bodies ending in bright nail and lip colour, Brazilians approach the night in a flirty, torrid mood where Samba and thronged sandals need little more than a Bossa Nova musical repertoire to set the scene.
Using hints of dark dusk, smouldering tans, bronzen bodies and flashes of brilliant colour, Wendell Rodricks creates for Westside a collection based on an abstraction of a music the world calls Bossa Nova.
Blending sensual jerseys, crisp linens, floaty silks and cool eco cottons, the Wendell Rodricks Bossa Nova collection is a tribute to a unique land, people and music that continues to relax the world with it's laidback sensual vibe. Viva Bossa Nova !!
Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week, Spring/Summer 2010
endell Rodricks returns to Delhi after a prolonged hiatus with The Cubist collection; which speaks of the modernity and visionary translation of the original Cubism artists at the dawn of the last century around 1906.
In this collection, Wendell Rodricks looks at fabric and form through the Cubist eye. The sole print in the collection features square edged sea horses spouting cube shaped "air bubbles" in water. The silver seahorse jewellery has been handcrafted by Bangalore based Nisha Mathew Gosh. Wendell Rodricks weaves together linens of the finest gauze, georgettes as light as a cloud, eco viscose knits and butter soft silks to create a line of garments that move on the breeze. The palette includes his signature whites, azure blue, earth red, Indian orange and fuschia pink. Treated to the famed Wendell Rodricks silhouette, styling and fabric treatment, the Wendell Rodricks Cubist collection is a fitting opening collection for Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week, Spring / Summer 2010.
The Wendell Rodricks collection for Chivas Studio, Bangalore, Delhi, Mumbai.
Wendell Rodricks sources inspiration from birds on a wing. Graceful swoops, plunging dives and fluttering movements provide inspiration for a line of creative garments that are flights of fancy but anchored in reality.
These are garments to dream on…Layered with feathered strokes and breezy fabrics that float, the Wendell Rodricks ON A WING collection for Chivas Studio is in the designers favourite colour : white. Using a variety of fabrics from cotton and silk to paper and latex the designer plays with the unconventional. In a creative studio frame of mind, the accent is on line and form without the harness of practicality. Yet the resulting garments are wearable: outside the realm of the imaginative accessories.

On Saturday 9th Saturday, we gathered Tower Hamlets residents together to talk about air pollution, why it's a problem and what we can do together about it!
We asked people to vote for the campaign that you thought we should be running to address this issue - together with our partners Poplar HARCA and Our Air Our Health - and you voted for 'Reclaim Streets'!
The idea of the campaign is to push for pedestrianisation of specific roads in Tower Hamlets, to improve the health of residents and the environment. Come along on 12th October to help make that aim a reality! We'll be planning how to run this campaign, and we'd love to get you involved - do come along, whether you just want to find out a bit more, or have lots of ideas to share. All are welcome!
Contact email@example.com to register, or just along on the day.

Catalyst Features My Favourite
Amid Catalyst's sumptuous and scientific portrait of Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens (with a brief mention of the Botanic Gardens Trust's seedbank at Mount Annan Botanic Garden), my favourite tree, and tree story, got some air time.
I've spoken and written about it a few times, but just in case you don't know the story of the 'Imperial Tree', read on...
There is a tree in the Royal Botanic Gardens with a royal name, and a royal origin.
The majestically named Chrysophyllum imperiale is from the rainforests of Brazil. Our largest specimen was planted by Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, and son of Queen Victoria in 1868.
The trip had its ups and downs. His Royal Highness had recently survived an assassination attempt at Clontarf, across the harbour. (Although a Florence Nightingale trained nurse Lucy Osburn soon brought the Prince back to full health, the incident sparked a period of racism in Australia with an anti-Irish Catholic movement lasting for many years.)
On the up, I think, as the first member of English royal family to visit Australia the Prince was welcomed with one of the earliest Sydney Harbour fireworks displays.
The tree itself is rare in its natural habitat and you are unlikely to see outside a few botanic gardens. In 1868 it was commonly found around Rio de Janeiro but that city's spread has destroyed most of its natural habitat. In fact we sent some seed back to Rio to support their recovery program for this tree.
Also typically for that period, it was moved a few years later to a new spot – they liked doing that sort of thing and we still occasionally do it with younger trees.
The leaves are large, up to 40 cm long, slightly pleated and with toothed edges. The species name 'imperiale' is presumably a reference to its majestic leaves and overall bearing. The genus name means 'golden leaf', referring to the leaves of some species having a golden undersurface – Chrysophyllum imperiale doesn't have golden leaves but the new growth has rusty hew…
We also the Star Apple, Chrysophyllum cainito, in the Gardens. It isn't as impressive overall but it does have golden under-leaves and tasty fruits.
Apparently Chrysophyllum imperiale makes a nice pot plant when carefully pruned and the Friends of the Gardens sometimes have them available for sale. And if you want to see a close up of the magnificent leaves see my earlier posting.

'Earth' map of Neutrino research in India, being carried out between the districts of Theni (in Tamil Nadu) and Idukki (in Kerala).
There are 12 dams storing more than 400 crore cubic meters of water in the geologically sensitive districts. High energy neutrinos coming from the factories in USA can cause RADIATION CONTAMINATION in surface area above INO and the water bodies storing more than 4 billion cubic meters of water.
The research proposal for INO was written by scientists from USA. There is no mention of the collaboration with USA in any of the documents released by the Department of Atomic Energy or INO website.
Likewise, the people living above the lab surface and nearby have not been informed about the lab. There is lack of transparency at various levels.
The above is a condensed, and edited excerpt from:

ROMAN Bednar has all but given up hope of being part of the Czech Republic's Euro 2008 plans - despite his incredible scoring record for Albion.
The striker scored his 12th goal in as many starts in the victory against Burnley, but he appreciates he has little chance of being part of Karel Bruckner's plans.
Bednar admitted it was a source of frustration, even though his lack of international games will keep him fresh for Albion's promotion push.
"People don't know about me and I don't think they appreciate this is a good, hard league," he said.
"But this is life. Yes, it's frustrating, but some people don't think it's enough.
"I don't want to be the first striker but I think I could be the third or the fourth one. When Milan Baros and Jan Koller are fit I think they deserve to be in.
"But I still think I should be in the squad."
Meanwhile, Bednar is looking after new keeper and fellow compatriot Michal Danek, helping him to settle in.
He added: "He doesn't speak English but he has to learn now so I will help him a bit.
"But I think it might be better if I wasn't here because we speak a lot in Czech.
"He will learn and the guys have welcomed him very well so he will get better and better."

Make Watermelon Keg Cocktails!
We wanted to serve up something with simple ingredients and flair, so obviously tapping a watermelon was the only option. ;) These watermelon keg cocktails are as fun to make as they are to drink. Feel free to use the vodka of your choice and mix up the garnishes if you'd like. We decided watermelon chunks for extra refreshment & lime pinwheels were the way to go. We do recommend investing in a tapping kit from Amazon because it'll prevent leaking and you can hold onto it to use in the Fall for pumpkin cocktails (yassssss!). We can't wait to hear how you enjoyed this recipe!
This recipe serves 8 Babes and will take 35 minutes to prepare and 2 hours to chill before it's ready to be enjoyed.
1 fresh watermelon
1 bottle of vodka
2 limes
1 bowl of watermelon chunks
Step 1. Cut a small slice off of one end of your watermelon so it can stand upright. Then create a lid for your watermelon keg by carving out the top of the watermelon like you would a pumpkin.
Step 2. Use an immersion blender to turn the flesh of the watermelon into watermelon juice. Allow approximately 20 minutes for this process. Once you've pulverized the interior of the watermelon, strain the juice into a large bowl.
Step 3. Next you'll carve a hole for your keg spigot. Hold the spigot up to the watermelon so you know what size you need to carve the hole. Once you've secured the hole for your spigot, plug in your tap.
Step 4. Combine the bottle of vodka of your choice and the watermelon juice inside your tapped watermelon. Refrigerate for two hours.
Step 5. Garnish each cocktail with a lime pinwheel and 2 watermelon chunks. Enjoy!

Thought it might be helpful to give an update as it's been a month since I last updated this and as usual life continues to keep us on our toes. Within the last month a lot has transcribed. It's funny as I always believe no news is good news but I have been working on this now for a month trying to get additional treatment for Teagan's post treatment side effects and it has been a slow process. Just this last week, after a month straight of advocating, I feel we finally have made some progress!
After returning home from Denver's hyperbaric oxygen treatment in May, I have been working on trying to get Teagan into more intensive physical therapy with the hope that now that she has more energy she could better benefit from additional therapies (our biggest concern getting her to walk again). We had Teagan complete an occupational therapy evaluation, a physical therapy evaluation, and a speech evaluation with the intent to refer Teagan for intensive inpatient therapy services at Seattle Children's Hospital. This would include 3 hours per day of varied therapies (OT, PT, and Speech) throughout the day but would also involve us having to sleep at the hospital 6 days a week. I was not excited about having to sleep at the hospital but I will do anything to make steps towards getting Teagan to walk again and sleep is a small price to pay. Immediately after completing the evals, Seattle Children's put in a request to insurance for intensive therapy for Teagan. Unfortunately our insurance denied our request. Thankfully there is always the option to appeal these decisions. We had 3 days to to do a peer to peer (our rehab doctor speaks directly with the insurance doctor) but unfortunately our doctor missed this deadline. This left us with a new 30 day deadline to do a written appeal. Our Rehab doctor completed this the following week and again we were denied as they let us know that Teagan would equally benefit from outpatient therapies instead of inpatient intensive therapy.
Somehow it has become quite common that after I get disappointing news something good comes around the corner. Maybe it doesn't always but I like to believe this. I literally got off the phone with our insurance case manager upset over this second denial and feeling quite literally like who is willing to help take responsibility for all these side effects my daughter has, when my friend Stacy, text me the name of a place, Rehab without Walls, which come to find out offers intensive therapy in the outpatient setting. As you could imagine, I picked up the phone right away and learned within minutes of the insurance denial that I will be able to take Teagan to Rehab without Walls in Lynwood daily for the three weeks before I go back to work and Teagan will thankfully get the intensive therapy I was so wishing for her this summer. Better yet we get to sleep at home with is much easier on our family. We are waiting now to find out when she will begin but are excited that this turned out better than what I had anticipated and now am thankful for the denial as I would likely not have found this without it.
Teagan will have physical therapy for one hour a day every day for three weeks. This session will be followed by alternating days of the second session include one hour of occupational therapy and the next day one hour of speech (flipping everyday OT and Speech therapy on alternating days). We are going to start out with two hours every day and then if she can handle more we have the option of going to three hours a day but given she is only 3 years old I'm thinking two hours will be a good push.
We also found out a few weeks ago after getting an artificial stimulation of human growth hormone IV test for Teagan that unfortunately her body no longer produces human growth hormones. This is another side effect of radiation as the radiation Teagan received harmed her pituitary gland which affects her thyroid (which she now takes daily medication for) and her human growth hormone production (hgh). Thankfully her cortisol levels were normal so we don't need this addressed as well.
We learned that Teagan will now need to receive human growth hormone injections once a day for the rest of her life. When our Endocrinologist told me this on the phone it was alot to take in. I was very emotional and continue to be about this. It is hard to accept having to give your child injections for the rest of their life (or she will have to give herself these eventually the rest of her life). After learning that her level was 2.0 and 7.0 is the cutoff for needing human growth hormones it seems obvious that she had a need. Her feet also can fit into the same shoes she walked into chemotherapy treatment with a year and a half ago and she is struggling to put on muscle on her body. I learned from my friend Google that, "When growth hormone is released from the pituitary gland, it "tells" the liver to release a second hormone, called insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). Together,growth hormone and IGF-1 tell the bones, muscles, and other organs and tissues to grow by adding more cells". You could begin the imagine the laundry list of issues that could follow if we were not to give Teagan this as her body would not be producing more cells in her body not just for growth but also for organs and tissues in her body.
Learning the necessity for hgh, I came to terms as best as one does and continues to try to. Shortly thereafter, I was informed that insurance denied the prescription for human growth hormone saying Teagan is not in the lowest 3% of average height of her normal average peers. The "normal average peers" stuck out to me as unfortunately Teagan's path is far from normal or average. Thankfully the endocrine Nurses at Seattle Children's are incredibly helpful and connected us with the Pftizer Bridge program that brought out our hgh for Teagan today and will cover the first three months for free to allow Teagan to get this much needed hgh until the appeal goes through with our insurance. I am hopeful once they know her history this appeal will be approved as she honestly would have quite costly medical problems if her body did not continue to produce new cells and grow.
I must say navigating the whole post treatment side effects is quite a process. I am finding the way to find services for your child often involves talking to other parents who can refer me to other places as unfortunately I have not found any type of survivorship services that helps guide families. This is quite a shock to me as pediatric cancer has been around for so long. I keep trying to think positively saying that it could be that unfortunately Teagan has suffered quite a lot of side effects so I am in need of more than the average rehab services but it just seems like some type of survivorship services might be available for these kiddos who often will be living with a lifetime of side effects from these treatments. Don't get me wrong I get to do this and if there is one thing I'm going to "die on the hill" for this will be it but I just can't help but wonder about other parents who don't find out about these other services via happenstance and what type of follow up care these kiddos get. I'm finding in my small sample of others parents I have met that the follow up services, short of everyone's MRI's, vary so much child to child even if the kids got similar cancer treatments. Can't help but to reflect on this.
Finally last weekend, I got the privilege to attend the ISPNO Neuro Oncology Conference in Denver with my sister Meghan. It was so great to hang out with Meg, sans kids, but also was a huge support for me to have my big sister with me while I sat through the entire Family day learning more in depth about all the side effects from treatments, learning how to best talk to our kids about cancer as they develop and grow older, learning what is best in terms of nutrition for kids post treatment, palliative care topics, a nonprofit section learning more the lay of the land for pediatric cancer nonprofits etc., etc. This was the first psychosocial support services I have ever found for parents post treatment and I am so grateful for attending this conference.
Having heard and sat through our end of treatment summary, I was familiar with some of the side effects but I quickly realized my sister had not and it was so incredibly supportive to have her sit with me and understand how hard this can be to hear this information. For example, hearing certain things like you should apply for SSI now, because there is a chance your child may not be able to live independently in the future. Hearing radiation's side effects referred to as the "gift that keeps giving" as we already are living the side effects and I fear for further damage from radiation. At the same time, I also met two other Mothers whose children had medulloblastoma (same type of cancer as Teagan) and their children's cancer relapsed. Both Moms were able to find an additional treatment that they taught me about and I was able to see both of their son's there in person alive. I had previously believed that if Teagan's cancer returned there were likely not many, if any, options. Meeting these two other Mothers alone gives me such incredible hope.
We are hopeful that Teagan's intensive therapy will be beneficial for her and I am working on getting a therapy schedule worked out that Jeff will be able to keep up with while I'm at work starting back up in August. This journey is not easy I must admit. The grieving that is involved for parents who have a child diagnosed with cancer and they lose their old family norm is complicated. This grief appears daily often and rears up even when unexpected. That being said, I always keep in perspective that I "get to do this" and work to continue to have grace with myself all along the way. One person I recently spoke with said to me, "Life if funny and not the ha ha funny. You never know what's coming but it has a way of making you a more beautiful person through all this.". I like her spin as I work everyday through tears and happiness to spin this as best I can. The alternative is much much harder so I'll keep spinning things towards the positive while also acknowledging the depth of grief and pain that comes along with it.
Thank you for everyone's continuing support and love along the way. This journey is not one that ends when treatment as we are living and learning this daily. August 16th, Teagan gets to be the "chief for the day" for the King County Sheriff's Office. My friend's husband is the Chief of Police in Covington and they invited Teagan to be a part of this special day for her and Judd. Teagan will have a full uniform and get to be the Covington Days Parade and on the 16th of August be in a motorcade from the Showare Center to the Burien Police Station. Quite frankly, this continued support continues to fill our sails with energy and hope and show us how beautiful others are around us. We are constantly reminded that there is no shortage of love in this world and how beautiful this is to see over and over.
Post Treatment Updates
Thought it might be helpful to give an update as it's been a month since I last updated this and as usual life continues to keep us on our toes. Within the last month a lot has transcribed. It's funny as I always believe no news is good news but I have been working on this now for a month trying to get additional treatment for Teagan's post treatment side effects and it has been a slow process. Just this last week, after a month straight of advocating, I feel we finally have made some progress!

Clamshells: Minimizing Compensations
The Clamshell Exercise
Clamshells are one of the most prescribed exercises for individuals with knee pain. This exercise is intended to target the hip abductors, specifically the gluteus medius muscle. EMG studies have found good activation of both the gluteus medius and gluteus maximus muscles during the clamshell. Additionally, the clamshell has been shown to preferentially activate the gluteus medius while minimizing activity in the tensor fascia latae (TFL).
From a clinical movement impairment syndrome perspective, the TFL is often found to be dominant and hypertonic. Many patients with hip stability issues preferentially engage the TFL instead of stabilizing the hip using the Glut Med. Since the TFL continues onto the Iliotibial Band (ITB), symptoms often present along the lateral leg when the TFL is hypertonic. As Shirley Sahrmann writes, "the attachment of the TFL-ITB to the patella and the lateral aspect of the tibia contribute to impairments of the patella and to lateral rotation of the tibia."
Muscle Function
The TFL is a hip flexor, abductor and medial rotator.
The Glut Med is a hip extensor, abductor, and external rotator. Additionally it stabilizes the pelvis in the frontal plane.
While the clamshell is intended to have good activation of the gluteal muscles, the exercise will only be as effective as the person instructing the movement. In regards to movement patterns, the body always takes the path of least resistance (i.e. the repetitive, facilitated movement pattern). Individuals who will benefit from performing the clamshell exercise likely have difficulty engaging the gluteus medius. Proper cueing is necessary to avoid compensatory motions.
Two Most Common Compensations:
1) Rolling the Pelvis Backward. To avoid activating the posterior gluteus medius (PGM), clients will often rock their lumbar spine and pelvis backward. Since the PGM is weak or under-facilitated, other local muscles will try to complete the movement. (Video: 1:51)
2) Lumbar Side Bending. This compensation is common across the population, but especially prominent in individuals with larger hip bones. When the PGM is not activating, trunk muscles (such as the obliques and quadratus lumborum) will attempt to compensate for the poor movement. To minimize lumbar compensation, always make sure the lumbar spine is positioned in neutral. Putting a pillow underneath the abdomen can be beneficial in clients with larger hips. (Video: 2:35)

There is a lot of inconveniences from overgrown trees and weeds. These inconveniences require measures as they threaten the safety and operational of both the passengers and engineers. The overgrown trees act as obstacles making operators to lose visibility. The obstacles pose danger in contacting with overhead catenary lines delaying the passengers. Railroad weed control as an operation is vital in enhancing the safety and effective journey.
When the weeds have overgrown, they make it difficult for maintainers to easily see broken railroad. There are automated equipment, switch heaters, which in such a case cannot work effectively. Several programs have been initiated in a bid to control the dangers coming up from the overgrown vegetable. The sprouted weeds are therefore killed by using such programs keeping control of bushes and trees. It is not easy to make this work but not impossible. The use of mechanical cutting as a method and spraying of herbicides come in to help the situation.
Initially, there have been endless efforts to curb this problem whereby several methods were used. Among them included the use of hot water. This was done by mounting a machine on a truck which poured scalding water to the tracks killing the vegetation. Flaming was another method employed to control the weeds. This involved a vehicle outfitted with the weed-burners like nozzles and they directed flames on the track searing vegetation.
Having a strong foundation of railroad is very important in this industry. Time consumed in the journey is minimized and safety of the passengers is maintained. The railroad has never been accorded the attention required and has also been off limelight. This measure of cutting off or controlling weeds minimizes accidents.
The maintenance of track as well as its compliance have been greatly considered by the majority of railroad companies. This has been relieve on operators and the passengers at large. A viable example of the programs taken is the Amtrak which set aside almost $2.2 million on annual basis. If the operator is going at a speed of 150 mph and above, need to have a clear sight which if interrupted would result to accidents.
Currently, the controlling of weeds is carried out by contractors who spray a pre-emergent herbicide off and on track. This is done between the 3rd week of March and at the end of April. Post- emergent herbicide is sprayed at the beginning of June to eliminate pesky plants that survived the pre-emergent application.
The hard work has eventually paid off as the vegetation acting as obstacles to signals and signs to the public has been cleared giving a clear view. Moreover, the clearing has reduced the bad crossing conditions, slippery. Unnecessary fires has been avoided which come from dry weeds. There has been also improvement of bed integrity from the regular inspection.
The essentiality of these programs have been felt as they have helped in management of the vegetation. Through the use of current methods as well as techniques the process of maintaining the railroads eased.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali an introduction
It is always best to let a person introduce themselves and the following short bio is from her website. Ayaan Hirsi Ali is one of the most courageous and inspiring people this world has the privilege to know. Her life's work deserves our support in whatever way we can give it. But one of the most important things for us in the West is to listen to her and heed her wisdom (born out of experience).
Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Founder of the AHA Foundation
AHA Foundation Founder, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, is known as a women's rights activist, champion of free speech, and best-selling author. She is also known as someone who is not afraid to speak out when she feels it necessary.
Ayaan's journey began in Somalia in 1969 where, as a young girl, she was subjected to female genital mutilation (FGM). From very early on, she questioned the subjugation of women she saw all around her; while listening to a sermon on the many ways women should be obedient to their husbands, she couldn't resist asking, "Must our husbands obey us too?"
Ayaan's path led her many places, but upon being forced by her father to marry a distant cousin, she fled to Holland and claimed political asylum. Once there, she worked her way up from being a janitor to serving as an elected member of the Dutch parliament. As a member of parliament, she campaigned to raise awareness of violence against women, including honor killings and FGM, practices that had followed her fellow immigrants into Holland.
In 2004 Ayaan gained international attention following the murder of Theo van Gogh. Van Gogh had directed her short film Submission, a film about the oppression of women under Islam. The assassin left a death threat for her pinned to Van Gogh's chest. This tragic event, and Ayaan's life leading up to it, are all chronicled in her best-selling book, Infidel. She is also the author of Caged Virgin, Nomad and most recently another bestseller Heretic: Why Islam Needs Reformation Now.
Ayaan has shown great courage, risking her life to voice the injustice she sees around her. But she has done more than speak out. Ayaan has channeled her life experiences, and the attention she garnered, towards the AHA Foundation. She took tangible action to protect women and girls from the honor violence she herself and so many others she knew faced.

often does scintillating playlists and reviews of collections and none more interesting than it's occasional forays into Bandcamp whom we also love to bits . . . . . . . so this:
they posted these guys today and as it's hotter n hell here (I'm from the North of England so that big burny shiny round thing in the sky frightens me)
The Fossil Lickers: You could easily call The Fossil Lickers' debut effort "old-timey" – the trio's music definitely conjures up visions of front-porch picking sessions from days gone by. But there's a freshness and liveliness to the 15 tracks here that take it out of the throwback realm. The players (violinist James Trimble, banjo player Cameron Knowler and guitarist Will Csorba) have an easy, joyous rapport; everything flows beautifully from moment to moment.
Matthew De Gennaro – Conversation With A Roadside Skull: Not entirely sure what to call the latest effort from Matthew De Gennaro … mystic loner folk? There are moments when I'm reminded vaguely of Vic Chesnutt or Howe Gelb, but De Gennaro has a distinct/unique vibe, accented by his gorgeous viola da gamba and easygoing guitar work. A mix of instrumentals and vocal numbers, Conversation With A Roadside Skull feels personal and deeply felt, a little universe of its own.
Duck Baker – Les Blues Du Richmond | Demos & Outtakes 1973-1979: Duck Baker put out a bunch of excellent LPs on Stefan Grossman and Eugene "ED" Denson's Kicking Mule label in the 1970s, and these previously unheard recordings come from that halcyon era. Baker is a ragtime specialist, expertly translating the complicated syncopations of that genre to acoustic guitar — though occasionally he sounds as though he's drawing from Ornette Coleman as much as Scott Joplin. A total pleasure from start to finish.

Language Learning 101: Practice the Right Way. (Tip #3)/
Here's my third tip in our series: in order to master a foreign language, students need to practice.
But what does it mean to "practice?"
Ideally, language practice would satisfy these three criteria:
- It would be regular—in a perfect world, happening daily.
- It would spiral—including the review of old material while adding on new vocabulary and grammar.
- It would be engaging—employing interesting resources that are suited to the learner's strengths.
So, let's think about how to meet these requirements.
Making it regular:
One (very obvious) way to make language practice a regular occurrence is to set aside daily time to study. Perhaps your homeschool student could set aside 10 minutes every morning to review the vocabulary flashcards that he/she has made. Or perhaps he/she could use time in the car, on an app like duolingo, to review how to conjugate the preterit tense.
But another way to make language practice regular is to replace English-speaking activities with activities in the target language. It's even better if they're authentic resources, which integrate cultural education into language learning.
Does your teen usually scroll through blogs first thing in the morning? You can add (appropriate) blogs in Spanish to his/her RSS feed. Does your family enjoy listening to audiobooks in the car? Well, why not listen to one in another language? You may have to start with short stories or even picture books in order to match your child's level of listening proficiency, but audiobooks (as well as podcasts) are a great way to reinforce listening skills by immersing your child in the target language. If you're looking for such resources in Spanish, look no further—I've compiled a complete list here of my favorite authentic (and safe!) resources for homeschool students.
Making it spiral:
In general, language learning naturally builds upon itself. Once you master a basic set of vocabulary, such as greetings and introductions, you naturally include them in future conversation. Yet the maxim "Use it or lose it" still definitely applies. If the majority of your conversations in the target language revolve around literature, for example, it can be easy to forget sports vocabulary. Or if you mostly talk about sports, useful everyday vocabulary—such as that related to food and cooking—may fall by the wayside.
For that reason, it is essential to structure foreign language practice in the form of a spiral.
(Want to know more about what spiraling is? Here's a great explanation by a fellow homeschooling mama).
Some language curriculums popular with homeschoolers naturally do this (such as Pimsleur or Rosetta Stone), but others do not. If you are using a combination of materials, or materials that have thematic units, spiraling can be as simple as writing out a schedule that includes weekly, monthly, and quarterly reviews of old material.
Making it engaging:
Some kids (…quietly raises hand…) really like to do vocab and grammar drills. For them, the worksheets included in their language curriculum or even a workbook like this one (aff link) will be enough to keep their attention and provide a sense of accomplishment and reward.
Other kids need a little bit more convincing. For these students, apps and on-line resources can provide the game-like atmosphere that can help them stay focused and motivated while practicing vocabulary and grammar structures.
In the past, when I've had such students in my classroom at the University of Virginia, many of them found the Web site conjuguemos.com to be a great tool for review. I like that for vocabulary, it is arranged by theme, and for grammar, it is arranged by concept, so it can be an excellent supplement to any language curriculum and it takes about two seconds to navigate.
What are some of your best tips for building in language practice to your homeschool routine?

The Balver Höhle (cave of Balve) is named after the small village Balve nearby. It is a cave ruin consisting of a single huge chamber, shaped like a Y.
This cave was a popular shelter during the Paleozoic Era, so it was dubbed Kulturhöhle (culture cave). Before the cave was excavated it was filled with probably 9m high sediments. This were mostly rocks from the cave ceiling, detached by the freeze/thaw cycle, which covered the human remains of 100,000 years and protected them. In the 1930s people from Balve started to mine the sediments as a fertilizer, as they containd phosphates from bat guano and the animal remains. Hundreds of stone tools were thrown away, mostly on piles in front of the caves. The remaining undisturbed layers were excavated later, and 700 stone tools uncountable amounts of debris of a Stone Age tool factory were discovered. The layers also contained the remains of cave bear, mammoth, horse, giant deer and others.
The most interesting discovery is probably a 4,60m long mammoth Das schönste Fundstück ist wohl ein langer mammoth tusk, a replica may be visited in the Heimatmuseum Arnsberg (heritage museum of Arnsberg). All together more than 50,000 artefacts were found in the cave which makes it one of the most important paleolithic sites in Europe.
Acording to legend the cave of Balve is the place where the workshop of blacksmith Wieland, dem Schmied aus der Nibelungensage once was. An English document tells about Wieland, that he worked and lived in the area which is now southern Westfalia. But only in a reprint from Soest the cave of Balve is mentioned, probably because the copier knew an according legend.
The cave is used until today. The Festspielverein Balver Hohle e.V. (play group of the Balve cave) stages concerts and fairy tale plays. The Schützenverein (gun club) uses the cave for its yearly Schützenfest fair. In former years there were regular guided tours into the cave, at least while it was not used for an event. But today the cave is managed by the Verkehrsverein Balve and visits are only possible for groups after prior arrangement. However, you may visit one of the concerts or performances.

On Leveling Up/
There is a video game that most video gamers have never heard of that I used to spend hours playing as a kid. It was called "Astrosmash," it was the flagship game for the Mattel Intellivision game system, and it was a competitor to Atari's "Space Invaders." It was a missile defense kind of game where you shot falling meteors out of the sky. It started off slowly, but, as the game went on, it would go faster and faster and you would accrue more points, and increase in levels. It was immensely satisfying to improve, until there was so little room for improvement.
There is a phrase for increasing levels in games: "leveling up." Perhaps not surprisingly, the phrase has been co-opted from gaming to anything from the use of psychotropics to personal and professional development. It applies to the never ending quest for improvement. But I find that, at a certain point, this quest becomes self-defeating.
I've had conversations with lawyer and entrepreneur friends of mine about the insatiable pursuit of improvement. One of the problems with the concept of improvement is that it presupposes certain metrics or factors required to reach improvement, while discounting others. For instance, I find that one of the failures of the American ideal of corporations is the expectation of YOY (year over year) growth in order to signify "improvement." What if a company is serving the needs of its customers, is compensating its employees adequately, is creating a satisfying and nurturing environment, and has the same revenue year after year? Isn't that a big success story?
Likewise, I find that it can be a trap to spend the entirety of my days trying to personally "level up," trying to consume and process valuable information, build relationships with supposedly self-actualized people, and become edified by the intellectually curious and the emotionally deep. Sometimes, I just want to have fun. Sometimes, I want to be dumb.
I don't really play video games anymore, but I can't help but notice that graphics in the arcades and on platforms such as X-Box and PlayStation have become almost indistinguishable from live video. And yet… There are throwback game systems available for the 21st century. The Nintendo 64 and Atari throwback systems are huge hits. The Intellivision less so, but that's the one I have. It's the one my own children love to play on despite its prehistoric graphics. And when they're not necessarily looking to improve their lot in life, my kids love to turn their attention not to photorealism, but to the blocky 8-bit graphics of Minecraft, the multibillion dollar digital phenomenon that demands imagination and exploration rather than "leveling up."

La Jolla Weddings | Barbo
Its hard not to enjoy a beautiful day in La Jolla, California. This day was extra special as we got to partner up with one of our good buddies Milad (Born Pacific) and bounce ideas off one another. From the time Cody and Mystique started there day there was no doubt that their wedding was going to be filled with laughs, partying and lots of love. We have been exposed to a lot of new ideas for wedding ceremonies, but cutting a cake with a samurai sword was a first. Cheers to the Barbo's!

Friday afternoon at New York Comic Con, IDW Publishing announced an upcoming miniseries adaptation of cult Chris Carter TV show "Millennium" written by Joe Harris, who also pens IDW's "X-Files: Season 10." Featuring interior art by Colin Lorimer and covers by menton3, series creator Carter will reprise his "Season 10" role as executive producer.
Debuting in 1996 on FOX, "Millennium" followed the exploits of Seattle-based ex-FBI agent Frank Black (Lance Henriksen) as he tracked down serial killers using his paranormal ability to see through the eyes of murderers. The show lasted three seasons before its cancellation in 1999.
Harris Brings Back the Black Oil in "X-Files: Season 10"
Harris spoke about "Millennium" with CBR News before the convention, revealing X-Files Agent Fox Mulder will appearing in the first issue and hinting at plans for both "X-Files: Season 10" and "Harsh Realm" crossovers.
CBR News: Joe, why are you and IDW Publishing coming out with a "Millennium" series now, 15 years after the show left the airwaves?
Joe Harris: I think the success of "The X-Files: Season 10" is what really made all this possible. We've worked really hard, on the other book, to make it an authentic experience for fans of the show while pushing to make the series a great read, and comic, in its own right.
IDW Editor-in-Chief, Chris Ryall had first hired me on "The X-Files" after I wrote up a take for where I wanted to push the canonical, comics continuation of that show. IDW loved what I came up with, as did FOX. And when "X-Files" creator Chris Carter put his arm around the venture and really, generously and effusively, validated our efforts, we were off to the races. And it was, I think, back over this past winter when Ryall again approached me about helping bring Chris Carter's other series, "Millennium," to comics.
We knew "Millennium" was going to be a different beast, but we also saw the opportunities to tie this all together a bit. "The X-Files" and "Millennium" shared a universe and my head lit up with lots of hooks and departures the stories could share. But, more interestingly, "Millennium" has a ton of great ideas that were never fully explored, along with shifting focuses of the show itself, from the dark and gritty serial killer-hunting going on throughout Season One to the more mythological world-building in Season Two, but all with this one man, Frank Black, caught in the middle.
I get asked about Frank Black a lot when I'm at conventions, and online. People love that character, and are devoted to the show. There's so much to draw on and build from there, the chance to deliver some new moments makes me really excited.
Honestly, everyone's been so supportive and appreciative of the work -- from the publisher, to the licensor, to the creator and, really importantly, the fans -- and that makes it really hard to not want to expand the circle a little.
What types of stories are you planning to tell with this miniseries?
Well, "Millennium" is a really unique concept and series with a lot of divergent ideas. The show really shifted in focus and tone over each of its three seasons on the air and those shifts, combined with its short lifespan, left a lot of unresolved stuff, and a lot of cool ideas that didn't get to develop over the years, say, "X-Files" had.
Our opening story guest-stars Agent Fox Mulder, who finds himself drawn into something far stranger than he initially realized when a serial killer he helped put away back when he was just a cadet is revealed to be connected to the infamous Millennium Group. But that's just one facet of this gathering of forces around Frank. It involves demons, the men who would hunt them, and the temptations they offer.
It's also about a father searching for his lost daughter. Jordan Black was always on track to be more powerful than Frank, with psychic abilities the Millennium Group were determined to add to their roster. The Group wanted her, and Frank risked everything to keep her safe. But now she's gone, and while Frank is hunting for her, darker forces are hunting them both.
In "The X-Files" episode "Millennium," we saw Frank stuck in an institution following his harrowing ordeal with the Group, his own losses, and the weight his psychic powers placed on him day after day, case after case. Agents Mulder and Scully solicited his help in stopping a necromancer with Millennium Group connections from triggering the end of the world. The cataclysm was halted. The year 1999 flipped over to 2000 and life went on.
Or did it?
That's one of the driving elements of this series. We'll learn that this catastrophic "Millennium Event" everyone was counting down toward during the show did, in fact, take place at the turn of the new century. It's just been simmering in the background, fucking with the world and steering it toward the apocalypse all along. Now it's gathering steam, and only Frank can stop it.
Joe Harris Explores IDW's "X-Files: Season 10"
Will there be an ongoing series eventually?
I believe our plan is to start with a five-issue series and really re-establish Frank Black, the shadowy remnants of the Millennium Group he once belonged to that turned on him, and which, we think, was dissolved, then gauge the temperature.
What's it like working with artists Colin Lorimer and menton3 on this project?
First off, Colin has been wonderful. He stepped in and did a fantastic job on the two-issue "X-Files: Season 10" arc we're in the midst of right now, "Immaculate" which will offer a surprise guest appearance in issue #17 that sets the stage for "Millennium," the comics series.
And Menton is just a stud. We've been lucky to have so many talented cover artists who really love "The X-Files," from Francesco Francavilla to Charles Paul Willson III to Mark Haley and Carlos Venezuela, but something about Menton's take on some of the more complex and seamy elements of that mythos, like his incentive covers for issue #3 featuring the Cigarette Smoking Man, or Flukeman from issue #6, just made him the perfect guy to portray Frank Black on the stands.
Is "Millennium" creator and "X-Files: Season 10" executive producer Chris Carter involved in this new series?
Chris has been our "Executive Producer," trusting my vision to shepherd these stories and characters along. He seems comfortable with me, but he's reviewing what we do and I expect I'll know if he's not happy!
Going back to when it was on the air, why do you think "Millennium" never connected with an audience the way "The X-Files" did?
Well, it's a headier brew. At its best, "The X-Files" certainly rose above genre trappings and the overall 'thriller' genre tag I think you can apply to it. But "Millennium" is more philosophical, more haunting, and, I think, more challenging. It's a broody, contemplative exploration of the coming apocalypse, the evil outside and, most important, the capacity for evil within.
What were your experiences with the show before being brought on to the comic? What were some of your favorite episodes?
I watched it back when. Definitely not as much as I did "The X-Files," but I was supportive of what they were trying to do and intrigued by Lance Henriksen's amazing portrayal of Frank Black. I don't think I grasped the challenge of falling into this show, back when I was a kid, as much as I dig it now. It's a meditative experience.
So far as favorite episodes go, I've got a bunch, mostly from the first two seasons including "The Judge," "The Hand of Saint Sebastian," "A Room With No View," "The Curse of Frank Black," "Midnight of the Century," along with the multi-part serialized episodes like "Owls" and "Roosters." Season Three's "Sound of Snow" is a memorable episode, too.
On TV, "Millennium" famously crossed over with "The X-Files." Since you're writing both comic books now, could we see those crossover as well?
If I told you those plans, we'd have nothing to talk about next time!
Are there any other classic TV shows you'd like to adapt for comics? Perhaps "Harsh Realm," Chris Carter's other FOX show?
Hey, I'm up for it. I suspect we can probably find a place to tease "Harsh Realm" without getting into trouble so keep a look out.
Switching gears to your creator-owned work, what's going on with your Image series "Great Pacific" at the moment?
We're presently wrapping up our "Big Game Hunters" arc which has just been a traumatic experience of death, destruction and failed dreams. But both it, and the sadistic villain we recently introduced, Baston Duvalier, are about to reach a pretty twisted and satisfying end.
Soon after that, artist and co-creator Martin Morazzo and I are going to make an announcement regarding some 2015 plans.
"Millennium" #1 will be available in early 2015 from IDW Publishing.

Seth + Elisa -- BACK TO THE FUTURE + HARRY POTTER WEDDING
It's not everyday that I get a script - an actual script - for a wedding. But that was so not surprising given that we were talking about Seth + Elisa. You may recognize them from their Back to the Future themed engagement shoot featured on Buzzfeed last year, so it's no surprise that these movie-philes took their wedding to the next level. Featuring themes from some of their favorite movies and shows (Harry Potter, Dr. Who, Star Trek & Star Wars, and of course, Back to the Future...), the entire event was custom-tailored to the two of them. It couldn't have been more perfect! Even the nearly 150 individually designed and hand-made wands (waiting on every chair for their guests) were created by the two of them (with a little help from their friends...). And why those guests needed them? Because there was a "spell" for snow during the ceremony of course!
F'realsies, friends. SNOW. At their wedding ceremony.
It's hard to explain just how amazing and unique this day was (pretty much my favorite combination for a wedding day), so I'll let the photos tell the story. Check down at the bottom for the list of their Top Notch vendors that made it all happen!

Page 6: Conclusion
It was not so long ago that the UK Government published 'Our Competitive Future: Building the Knowledge Driven Economy'. This became known as the Competitiveness White Paper. It emphasised that, in a modern and changing world, employees are an organisation's most valuable assets. It is they who help to develop 'a culture in the workplace that allows knowledge, creativity and commitment of the workforce to be fully exploited'.
For Travis Perkins, it is not enough to be highly visible and geographically close to customers. That alone will not attract sufficient trade. The company recognises that it is its employees and their understanding of how to help customers to solve problems and deal with issues that makes the organisation distinct. It also knows that this approach provides a base of care that is vital for the company's ongoing growth and competitiveness.

Editor's note: Take a look back into the archives of The Dallas Morning News.
What would it take to make Formula One as popular as NASCAR? According to Formula One driver Eddie Cheever, the answer was simple: Dallas.
"I'm convinced that, because of Dallas, Formula One will be as American as in Indianapolis 500 within 10 years. The sport just needs an American push, and that's what Dallas will give it."
Dallas was the key to improving the popularity of the sport, according to Cheever, since "Dallas is a business city, and because of that, the race should be handled well."
If this were a movie, this is where they'd cut to the first day of the Grand Prix, which ran from July 6-8, 1984, and took place at Fair Park.
Unfortunately, when describing the Grand Prix, the term "well-managed doesn't come to mind." The event was plagued with problems from the very beginning. Drivers complained about the track, which they felt was "too bumpy and too fast."
The circuit was also of questionable quality. After the event was over, The Dallas Morning News' Gene Wojciechowski wrote that "Drivers constantly criticized the circuit, saying the asphalt crumbled under the stress" of the intense heat "and the intense downshifting and accelerating of cars." Conditions were so poor that drivers reportedly considered a boycott.
The 100-plus degree heat posed another serious problem, not only to the integrity of the track, but also to the health of drivers. Temperatures on the course itself reached nearly 145 degrees. Drivers did their best to respond to the stifling temperatures, with some riders relying on reflective helmets and others wearing air-cooled racing suits. Spectators weren't immune to the temperatures either — hundreds of fans were treated for "minor injuries and heat-related illnesses" during the first two days of the event.
The combination of heat and a "disintegrating track" was too much for several drivers and their cars. "By the 61st lap, only eight drivers ... had machines that worked." One of those drivers, Nigel Mansell, grazed a wall and his gearbox failed. Mansell got out of the car and attempted to push his car to the line, but collapsed "about 70 feet away."
Eventually, Keke Rosberg, "not exactly the pre-race favorite," crossed the finish line to win the race. Only one other driver, René Arnoux, completed the full 67 laps.
Race promoter Don Walker told The News that the Grand Prix "was a success" and "a lesson," noting "You learn from the first year."
Unfortunately, due to scheduling issues, there wasn't a 1985 Grand Prix. Wojciechowski, noting that "the Fair Park circuit cost the Dallas Grand Prix 2.5 million to construct. Now promoters have to wait until 1986 to see whether a Formula One car would ever race on it again."
But Dallas would never see a Formula One race again. By the time racing returned to Fair Park in 1988, the race was a round of the now-defunct American Trans-Am series.
Today Formula One is back in Texas, but — perhaps due to hindsight — it races in Austin.
