The Modern Love Machine and I pledged to keep our summer travel a little smaller than the 11-day trips we've been in the habit of taking every summer with the idea that we might save a little more money to be put into our leaky house. While the money saving may not have happened quite as we hoped, we've corralled our travel into bite-sized chunks, with a couple of trips to Memphis and a jaunt to Atlanta — all done very cheaply — and a far more budget-busting skip up to NYC.
The MLM had never been to NYC, and yet was interested in only one thing: food, and specifically the fine-dining establishments that seem to be on every corner of the city. So we planned on a culinary tour of the city. As we spend most of our weeknights on the couch with dinner on our laps and Chopped on the TV, the gastrotour had a Food Network flavor to it (we looked up every last one of the Chopped judges' restaurants and had a hearty debate over whose would make the cut).
Side note: I inadvertently almost scored us a drinking date with Chopped judge Chris Santos, thanks to a random exchange I had with him on Twitter earlier in the month. He apparently trolls Twitter for mentions of his name, and now I'm going to assume he's reading this blog post for the very same reason. Hi, #drinkingbuddy. Sorry we missed you.
there was a little more to it than this, but you get the idea
The first place we hit was Scott Conant's restaurant, Scarpetta, which was the last addition to the gastrotour based on a few reviews we read. We figured it would give us a chance to decide if Scott really IS the Italian cuisine authority that Ted Allen claims he is and if he has the right to be such an asshole to Chopped contestants. Because we had been thinking about our trip for so long, we we ready to go balls to the wall on this meal, which we did by way of ordering the tasting menu. We may have to foreclose on the leaky house to pay for that meal, but the MLM and I agreed that of all the insanely amazing meals we've had together, this one was the most insanely amazing.
allow me to introduce you to bone marrow and short rib agnolloti. every piece of pasta is an explosion of deliciousness in your mouth — and i'm generally not a huge bone marrow fan
Because we managed to land in NYC when it was a million degrees there (ok, 100 degrees, but it was legitimately 100 degrees at least two of the days we were there, and 100 degrees in NY is like 150 degrees everywhere else), we inhaled a lot of ice cream and other frozen treats: olive oil gelato at Scarpetta, sour cream ice cream at Gramercy Tavern, the Salty Pimp at Big Gay Ice Cream and a shake from the Shake Shack. The savory gelato and ice cream are two things I intend to duplicate somehow now that the MLM has an ice cream maker attachment for ye olde Kitchen Aid stand mixer. The Shake Shack shake was ok, but the Salty Pimp? I cry thinking about how indulgently good it was.
allow me to introduce you to the Salty Pimp: vanilla soft serve, caramel drizzle, sea salt and chocolate magic shell. i could not eat it fast enough, but then, that may have had something to do with the 100-degree weather.
Another highlight was Marcus Samuelsson's place in Harlem, Red Rooster. This was the No. 1 spot on the gastrotour. The MLM has cooked Marcus's fried chicken recipe before, and it's pretty dang good, so I expected even more in person. I can't say the restaurant totally knocked me on my feet, but it was still pretty good — so good we needed an entire afternoon of wandering MoMA to work it off, and then some. The even bigger highlight was seeing Marcus Samuelsson in the flesh in a very Marcus Samuelsson-esque outfit of a flower-print T-shirt and bright blue jeans and hearing his Swedish draw from a mere 5 feet away. We never got a chance to say hello as he was constantly disappearing and reappearing and disappearing again, but the MLM still snuck a blurry photo on the sly.
there wasn't just fried chicken. there were buttery mashed potatoes and cornbread so thick and sweet it tasted like cake. and there were swedish meatballs. as for the photo on the right, it's blurry, but it's him — i promise
There were other meals: a yummy (and cold!) corn soup from Gramercy Tavern, those Momofuku pork buns, a tasty brunch at Acme and some better-than-expected Mets game tacos. There was also an inexcusable lack of cheap Chinatown noodles, drinking and brunching at the Stanton Social (again, with the lack of Chris Santos) and treats from Dominque Ansel's bakery, but in our defense it was too dang hot to walk to Chinatown or SoHo and stand in line for cronuts or frozen s'mores.
The heat kept us inside more than we would have liked, so the trip was — both literally and figuratively — just a taste of vacation. Thank God the Modern Parents sprung a surprise, albeit very short beach trip on us for Labor Day weekend, or I might feel shorted on my summer vacationing. In the mean time, it's off to the gym for me.

The current solar cycle is the 24th since 1755 when extensive recording of solar sunspot activity began and is the weakest in more than a century with the fewest sunspots since cycle 14 peaked in February 1906. –Paul Dorian, Vencore Weather, 31 October 2016
Get ready for the coldest winter since 2012. Most of ChinaÔºçbut especially the northeast and northwestÔºçis expected to feel a big chill this winter, thanks to a climate pattern in the Pacific Ocean called La Nina, meteorologists said on Monday. "Affected by a growing La Nina, the country's average temperature this winter is forecast to be 0.5 degree (Celsius) lower than average," said Zheng Fei, a researcher at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of Chinese Academy of Sciences. –Zheng Jinran, China Daily, 31 October 2016
Climate change has been wrongly blamed for devastating coffee plantations, a study has found. Coffee leaf rust (CLR) caused coffee production in Colombia to fall by 40 per cent between 2008 and 2011. The decline was linked to the worst epidemic for several decades. A number of other coffee-producing countries in Central America and the Caribbean were also affected and hundreds of thousands of people lost their livelihoods. Some scientists linked the spread of the fungus to climate change because it thrives in higher temperatures and the moisture caused by increased rainfall. The International Coffee Organisation, an intergovernmental body of coffee exporting and importing countries, said in 2014: "Due to changing climatic patterns, the fungus is expanding to higher altitudes where coffee is grown." Scientists at the University of Exeter took a different view. Their paper, published in the Royal Society journal Philosophical Transactions B, concluded: "We find no evidence for an overall trend in disease risk in coffee-growing regions of Colombia from 1990 to 2015, therefore, while weather conditions were more conducive to disease outbreaks from 2008 to 2011, we reject the climate change hypothesis." –Ben Webster, The Times, 24 October 2016
Now and then new results appear that suggest that the idea of cosmic ray influence on clouds and terrestrial climate does not work. "Sun-clouds-climate connection takes a beating from CERN" is the latest news story which is based on a new paper from the CLOUD collaboration at CERN. This type of numerical modeling is by no means new, and neither is the result that ions in these models apparently do not affect cloud formation. We have known this for about 7 years. So why, in contrast to the above, do I think that the cosmic rays cloud idea is still viable? The reason is that we have tried to answer the same question (do ion-nucleated aerosols grow to CCN) without using models — and get very different results. –Henrik Svensmark, Global Warming Policy Forum, 30 October 2016
Ever since I first wrote in 2011 under the heading "The lights may go out in Germany even sooner than in Britain", I have been noting that, for evidence of where our efforts to "decarbonise" our economy are taking us, we should look at Germany, which is even further down the track. An expert study there has recently caused a stir by calculating that by 2025 Germany's "green energy transition", such as its 26,000 windmills, will have cost ¬£470 billion, or ¬£22,500 for the average household. Another study by Dr John Constable of the Global Warming Policy Forum shows that in the same period, the additional annual sum we pay just for "green" electricity will almost have trebled, from less than ¬£5 billion to nearly ¬£14 billion, made up partly of subsidies but also in "ancillary" costs. The trouble is that, because all these projections still seem comfortably in the future (although 2030 is just over 13 years away), only the handful of those who have looked at the hard facts have any idea of where the mad dreams of our politicians are leading us. –Christopher Booker, The Sunday Telegraph, 31 October 2016
Professors usually spend about 3-6 months (sometimes longer) researching and writing a 25-page article to submit an article to an academic journal. And most experience a twinge of excitement when, months later, they open a letter informing them that their article has been accepted for publication, and will therefore be read by … an average of ten people. Yes, you read that correctly. The numbers reported by recent studies are pretty bleak: – 82 percent of articles published in the humanities are not even cited once. Of those articles that are cited, only 20 percent have actually been read. Half of academic papers are never read by anyone other than their authors, peer reviewers, and journal editors. All of this is very unfortunate. Ideally, the great academic minds of a society should be put to work for the sake of building up that society and addressing its problems. Instead, most Western academics today are using their intellectual capital to answer questions that nobody's asking on pages that nobody's reading. What a waste. –Daniel Lattier, Intellectual Takeover, 26 October 2016

Jeff Wooster, Dow's global sustainability leader for plastics, is very aware of the impression some have about plastic packaging.
"We understand that some consumers view packaging as waste," he told PlasticsToday. "We want to help consumers feel good about plastic packaging and have them know when they're done with it, the packaging will be reused."
Dow Chemical believes in order to achieve 100% recycling of packaging, the industry must progress from the 3R mindset, which is the widely practiced "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle," to the more comprehensive efforts being used in regions such as Europe that add the fourth "R" for end-of-life materials—"Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Recover." Dow says using an integrated 4R approach will help assure greater total value recovery from end-of-life plastics and other used materials....

Low power DRM+ receiver implementation ideas
This is a list of ideas for creation of DRM+ receiver on low-cost component base that will utilize minimal power to be ready for making pocket receiver.
Trimble/Symmetricom UCCM GPS Receiver 50-pin connector pinouts and protocol reverse-engineering
This page describes the pinouts of 50-pin connector, avaliable at "Trimble 57963-C" and "Symmetricom UCCM 089-03861-02" boards, which can be bought on Ebay. They have no direct NMEA support, but have own binary protocol and additional signals, that avaliable on this connector. This receivers are used for DAB SFN operation as alternative for Ublox-LEA-M8F. The main reason of this work - is to receive UTC time from it and get the flags to find that receiver is ready to provide stable 10MHz and 1PPS signals.
Single Frequency Network DAB trials progress using EasyDABv2 boards with GPS disciplined oscillators
This page describes steps needed to run EasyDABv2 board in synchronized network mode. This mode allows boradcasters to extend transmission range of DAB multiplex by adding more transmitters to the network but not adding new frequencies due all transmitters are using same frequency and increases area of same nearby transmitter.
Updated 28.11.2017
EasyFM FPGA FM stereo modulator with RDS and live stream MP3/WAV decoder
This page describes hardware/software for stand-alone FM broadcast modulator with RDS. The hadware is based on EasyDABv2, and no any modification is needed (in case if Low-Pass filter is used in output). If You have LFCN-225+ filter, you don't need any modifications and you only need to update board's firmware to switch into FM modulator. If Your filter - is RBP-204+, then broadcasting on FM band is not possibe, filter replacement to low-pass is needed. With this board and firmware You can broadcast on 88-108 MHz band as usual FM station.
Using EasyDABv2 hardware as direct sampling transmitter with GnuRadio for producing FM or DRM+ signals
So, can EasyDABv2 be used to send GnuRadio quadrature signals to the air? For sure Yes, it can!
With simply modified firmware, with removed DAB-blocks, this hardware is turning into the EasyQDUC (Easy Quadrature Digital Up Converter). And it can be used to send any signal with 192KHz quadratude samplerate or lower. For example, it can be used as DRM or DRM+ transmitter, FM-radio station or any other signal transmitter that fits into ~182 KHz bandwidth.
EasyDABv2 measurements results
3 months are gone after release of EasyDABv2 hardware. It's time to publish some measurements and enchancements for this hardware. Here is short way of enchancing output signal.
FPGA DAB modulator with ethernet interface
No more modulation process on PC. All modulation is done inside FPGA!
More info on it's EasyDABv2 page.
New FPGA-based USB DAB modulator (EasyDABv1) - is created!
New DAB modulator design! No more CPU-intensive job. EasyDABv1 with USB interface.

Review Summary (Based on 28 Reviews)
These pieces are really cool looking. They look like the real thing, but larger. I hung them in my newly done guest bathroom and plan on putting some fake coral and greenery in them to add to the look!
Looks great on our bathroom wall in our beach condo.
Worth the cost! Buy buy! The shape, six, and texture are of excellent quality. Love my set! They are larger than I thought! They look so gorgeous on my bathroom wall. I am so happy! I will never give them away or throw away! They are nothing like any other. These are to be treasured and handed down from generation to generation.
The shells look great on my bathroom wall even though they are bigger than I thought. Goes well with the lighthouse picture.
Beautifully detailed, these shells are a gorgeous wall accent. I have even displayed one on a "plate stand" on a chest of drawers. The quality is superb. So glad I discovered these jewels of the sea.h
the shells look great on my wall they look even better with the air fern that i got to go in them.
They match my bathroom prefect!!!!
Really makes the bathroom
To the people saying they are bigger than pictured, read the size in the description!
I really like these shells. They are well constructed & look terrific on the wall in my new decorated sunroom!
Redecorating bathrooms. The shells are perfect.
These things are huge and lackluster in color. Sorry I bought them. Sure that postage would cost more than the refund for returning. Repeat, they are ugly---save your money.
Our bath has been complete with these three wall hangings. We can relax at the beach in our new bath.
They are much larger than they look in the book but I still like them very much
Quality is good, looks great on wall. This is my second set as one pf the first fell off the wall. Make sure you don't use the 3mMonday wall hangars. But love them
I absolutely love these. The only thing that could make them better, is if you also sold the "sea grass" for them as pictured in your ad.
I know it gives dimensions, but they were slightly bigger, especially depth wise, than I thought they were going to be, but they are really cool looking and I will make them work in my bathroom.
the shells are very real looking and very well made. I bought them to go with my sea shore bedding décor. I am very pleased with my purchase.
I love the shell wall pockets and have them hanging on a wall above my spa tub. I bought articial onion grass to place in them and it looks great with my other tropical themed accessories and it looks very tasteful. The shells are well made and light in weight for hanging and a great value and I am very happy with this purchase.
I bought these for a bathroom leading out to the pool - and they hang on the wall behind the commode in a manner similar to what they show in the catalog picture. The wall they are on is a tropical mango color and they look nice.
Bought these to go in a newly redecorated bathroom with a seashore theme. They are great. nice size and detailed.
I bought this along with the shell themed decorative toilet seat. These are bigger than I expected but touch of class clearly mentioned the sizes so nothing on them. I still was able to use them very well in my daughters bath room.
I like the seashells but I haven't hung them yet. One of the shells bracket is screwed upsidedown and on a lump in the shell so, therefore, I am unable to hang it I have to buy a tiny phillips screw driver, take off the bracket and hope I can screw it in another area of the shell. Otherwise they are much bigger than I imagined and my bathroom is small. I will work it out somehow
These are very well made and realistic! Shipping was very fast! I am very pleased with all my purchases from your company.
needed something extra on bathroom wall. love anything having to do with the sea. worked perfectly
The online/magazine pictures of these shells don't do them justice. They are even more beautiful in person. They are larger than I anticipated but the size is clearly set forth when you order, and I still like them. If you're looking for some large seashell decor, these are perfect.
Originally, I ordered the shells as deco in a sea themed bathroom. To my delight, they are large enough to supply storage of essentials helping clear the vanity top (comb,brush, even a hair spray!,etc) and still maintain the deco theme at a VERY reasonable price.
they are beautiful but i wished i would have gotton the greenry as displayed in the picture but thats ok they are hung on the wall and enjoying them

Patent application title: Method for increasing saliva and tear production with ultrasound
Robert T. Bock
Robert T. Bock
Origin: BREWSTER, NY US
IPC8 Class: AA61N700FI
USPC Class:
601 2
A non-invasive apparatus and method for increasing saliva and tear
production from the salivary and lacrimal glands with the application of
high frequency low intensity ultrasound. An ultrasound transducer coated
with connecting gel placed in contact with the facial tissues
transmitting 1.5 MHz frequency ultrasound pressure waves into the tissues
and into the glands. The time-averaged intensity of the ultrasound
pressure waves is typically limited to approximately 30 milliwatts per
square centimeter to avoid tissue heating.
1. A method for increasing saliva production in a patient comprising the
step of applying ultrasound pressure waves to the salivary glands through
the facial tissue of the patient.
2. A method as defined in claim 1 wherein the ultrasound pressure waves having a frequency in the range of 1-2 MHz, and intensity in the range of 100-200 milliwatts per square centimeter.
3. A method as defined in claim 2 wherein said ultrasound pressure waves are applied in 200 microseconds bursts repeated in 1 kilohertz intervals.
4. A method for increasing tear production in a patient comprising the step of applying ultrasound pressure waves to the lacrimal glands through the facial tissue of the patient.
5. A method as defined in claim 4 wherein the ultrasound pressure waves having a frequency in the range of 1-2 MHz, and intensity in the range of 100-200 milliwatts per square centimeter.
6. A method as defined in claim 5 wherein said ultrasound pressure waves are applied in 200 microseconds bursts repeated in 1 kilohertz intervals.
7. A method for increasing bodily fluid productions in a patient comprising the step of applying ultrasound pressure waves to the glands producing said bodily fluids.
[0001]This invention relates to the increase of the production of saliva and tears by the human body, and more particularly their increase by the application of ultrasound.
[0002]Dry mouth and dry eyes are serious and often painful diseases caused by inadequate production of saliva by the salivary glands and tears by the lacrimal glands. If not treated successfully, dry mouth causes sores or split skin at the corners of the mouth, cracked lips, sore throat, and gum and teeth disease. The inadequate production and maintenance of the tear film in the eye causes stinging and burning sensation in the eyes, eye fatigue, difficulty of wearing contact lenses, and blurred vision.
[0003]In the past decades numerous attempts has been made to increase saliva production by various medications and by electrical means. Systemic parotid stimulants such as parasympathomimetics agonists were prescribed; artificial saliva and oral lubricants used; and electro-stimulation including transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation were applied with various and limited success and detrimental side effects.
[0004]The side effects of the parasympathomimetics agonists such as the increased sweating, diarrhea, hypertension, hypotension, and tachycardia restrict the use of these products; transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation (TENS) devices are capable of increasing parotid saliva flow, however patients are experiencing side effects such as twitching of facial musculature and anesthesia of cutaneous areas adjacent to the placement of the device.
[0005]Treatments of dry eyes are the application of artificial tears, cyclosporine, and plugging of the tear ducts to conserve tears. When people experience intolerable irritation from dry eyes despite the frequent use of lubricating eye-drops, doctors may prescribe steroid drops. Long term use of cyclosporine and steroids both come with detrimental side effects therefore their application is limited.
[0006]What has occurred to date is that not withstanding the teachings of the prior art, the ability to increase saliva and tear production effectively, inexpensively, and easily has remained unsolved.
[0007]Responding to the above described unresolved needs; the object of this invention is to increase saliva and tear production effectively, inexpensively, and easily without detrimental side effects. Application of ultrasound energy in a totally non-invasive way is possible by applying a piezo electric transducer to the facial anatomy at the location of the salivary and lacrimal glands. The application is non invasive because it uses high frequency low intensity ultrasound typical in the ultrasonic imaging applications. This method while being absolutely safe, also avoids the side effects of medications and transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation.
[0008]The treatment with ultrasound is highly effective. Increased saliva output was observed and measured by saliva collection cups. While we have proven clinically the effectiveness of this ultrasonic method to increase salivary gland activity, the exact underlying mechanism of how the ultrasound pressure waves stimulate gland activity is yet to be determined. We believe that as the ultrasound pressure waves propagate through the tissues, it applies high frequency mechanical forces causing compression and rarefaction of the fluids and cells. These ultrasonic frequency mechanical forces may cause vibrations of the cell membrane or the extracellular matrix. The high frequency vibration of the membrane may alter ionic permeability and therefore second-messenger activity, which initiates the biological response.
[0009]In the accompanying drawings, in which certain modes of carrying out the present invention are shown for illustrative purposes:
[0010]FIG. 1 is a schematic of the embodiment of the invention.
[0011]FIG. 2 depicts the application of the ultrasonic energy to the salivary gland.
[0012]FIG. 3 depicts the application of the ultrasonic energy to the lacrimal gland.
[0013]Referring in detail to the drawings, the reference numerals herein refer to the like numbered parts in the drawings. In the following discussion, unless otherwise qualified, the term "ultrasound" refers to either continuous wave ultrasound or a repetitive burst type ultrasonic modality.
[0014]The saliva output-increasing method and device 1, in accordance with the simplest form of the present invention, is shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 and FIG. 3. The device 1 comprises of a piezo-electric crystal 4, connecting wiring 3 and connector 8 that connects the piezo-electric crystal 4 to the ultrasound generator 2. The piezo-electric crystal 4 is typically a PZT-8 or similar material and constructed by well-known methods utilized in the ultrasound imaging art. The ultrasound generator 2 draws its power either from a standard household current through connector 5 or is operated from a battery within the generator. The piezo-electric crystal 4 is encapsulated in a plastic material forming a sealed transducer 9. The piezo-electric crystal 4 contracts and expands in tune with the ultrasonic frequency signals supplied by the ultrasound generator 2 to generate ultrasonic pressure waves 6 which are coupled to the facial tissues 11. The transmission of the pressure waves 6 into the facial tissues 11 can be enhanced by the application of a common ultrasound coupling gel 10 or simply by Vaseline. The ultrasonic pressure waves 6 propagate through the facial tissues into the salivary gland 7 to increase saliva production. Transducer 9 is held in place by a bandage or simply by the fingers of the user during the treatment period. Alternatively, transducer 9 is placed on the facial tissues 11 in front of the lacrimal gland 12 to irradiate the lacrimal gland 12 with ultrasonic pressure waves 6 to increase tear production.
[0015]The intensity of the ultrasonic pressure waves 6 is ideally limited to be approximately 30 mW/cm2, which is effective for the purpose and at the same time it is below the tissue heating range. However, higher intensities can be applied with the appropriate safeguards against tissue heating or damage. The ultrasonic pressure waves 6 could be applied in a continuous wave modality or in a pulsed burse mode such as 200-microsecond burse width repeated at 1 kilohertz repetition rate to further limit tissue heating. The ideal frequency of the ultrasonic pressure waves 6 is approximately 1.5 MHz, but it can range from 20,000 Hertz to above 5,000,000 Hertz.
[0016]While the preceding description contain many specificities, these should not be construed as limitations on the scope of the invention, but rather as an exemplification of a preferred embodiment. Many other variations are possible. Skilled artisans will readily be able to change dimensions, shapes and construction materials of the various components described in the embodiment, and apply ultrasound to other bodily fluid producing glands within the anatomy. Accordingly, the scope of the invention should be determined not by the embodiment illustrated, but by the appended claims and their legal equivalents.

At Chaparral High School in Douglas County, Tanne Blackburn, Precinct 99 organizer for the GOP, asked a standing-room-only crowd for a show of hands for first-timers; nearly all of the 54 people raised their hands.
Then, several people gave one-minute-or-less plugs for their preferred candidate. Mitt Romney and John McCain dominated.
"Romney, he's not perfect, but he's the most conservative, especially when it comes to core principles," said one attendee.
Blackburn then passed out white ballots listing contenders' names. When those ran out, she distributed blank green sheets on which to write a candidate's name. The final tally: Romney, 34; Huckabee, 9; McCain, 9; Paul, 2.
"Not a surprise," Blackburn's husband, Lindy, said. "Douglas County is very conservative."

Howdy all! Holy smokes it's been awhile since I've made a new post to my blog. I'm a terrible social networker…
Oh wells! Let's do it to it! What's the latest, you ask? Well…
1) The 8th Annual Hallow's Eve Show! – well this sure was a blasty blast. Every year, local bands put on their "musical costumes" and play the Hallow's Eve show AS another band. Me, the Daves, Tony, and guest electric player Eric went as Coldplay.

Have you ever noticed that Coldplay's lyrics are ciphers? They don't really make a whole lot of sense. And as such, they are hard as CRAP to remember. I did pretty well memorizing the words, for the most part. But I just COULDN'T get all of Clocks' lyrics memorized. Therefore, I hand wrote the words and taped them to the back of my guitar! See this sceenshot for proof –
In My Place
God Put A Smile Upon Your Face
Fix You
2) John David Martinez's "Songs from the Shoebox" CD Release Show! – in April 2013 I started producing a full-length album for an amazing man named JD Martinez. The album finally dropped November 9th! JD had his release concert at the Brauntex Theater in New Braunfels, TX, and my band had the privilege of opening for this special day (I also played with JD's band)! All ticket sales and a portion of the album proceeds went to help orphans in Peru. It was such an amazing night of music in a historic venue!

3) Studio Shenanigans – praise God I have been super busy in the studio, tracking several projects since I returned from the Stages EP Summer Tour. I've been working on two full-length records and a myriad of singles and EPs as of mid-November. It's been super fun digging into so many different styles simultaneously.
- Ty Dillon is tracking a TX country album with me, featuring a variety of killer players in the industry (Austin Davis & James Hertless from the Josh Abbott Band, Marty Muse from Robert Earl Keen's touring band, Wayne Dahl from Martina McBride's touring band, and Milo Deering, prolific session musician – [Josh Abbott, Leann Rimes, Madonna]). Ty writes ridiculously great songs and memorable hooks that bely his young age. He's flipping 20! Tracking should be completed by mid- or late-January.
- John David Martinez and I have been working on his full-length, "Songs from the Shoebox vol. 1", since April 2013. The album finally dropped November 9th, and it's wonderful! Over several years JD had written a bunch of songs on scraps of paper/napkins and tossed them into a shoebox. That shoebox was lost in a move. He found the box years later and decided it was time to record the songs! This album will be available on iTunes soon. Currently you can purchase a physical copy at Community Bible Church in San Antonio, TX. A portion of all proceeds goes to help orphans in Peru.
- Brandon Shasteen recorded a super duper fun project with me. Starting in July, we began work on an Advent album – A Festival of Lessons and Carols. What does that mean? Christmas music! Starting this summer and wrapping in late October, me and Brandon assembled a really cool collection of Christmas song/traditional hymn arrangements that tell the redemption story – from creation to the fall to God's covenant with Abraham to the coming of Christ. Just a few weeks and this project will be released as well!
- Elias Popa/Aaron Steinley just wrapped their project literally yesterday. This has been one of the most fun and fulfilling projects I've ever been a part of. Elias traveled to Asia for months (I think more than a year actually) to film a documentary about the persecuted church overseas. Then, last January, Aaron and I scored the music for the film's trailer. Though from Canada, Aaron met Elias overseas and they decided to partner for this project. Over the past two weeks, we have hunkered down in the studio and cranked out 10 additional songs/snippets for the film. It is so epic, so moving, and so effective in telling the story of the persecuted church. I cannot wait to see the final film, complete with music! Last I heard, they were looking at a spring 2015 release. I'll be sure to keep y'all posted on this development!
- Andrew Reynosa was actually a guitar student of mine 11 years ago. He was also one of my very first production clients when I went full-time. We cut a single recently called "Everything You Love". It is incredibly well written and very catchy. It's a sort of energetic, bluesy, Americana track with raspy vocals and raw guitars. I really enjoyed laying this one down. We did it in just a few hours! Although it's not yet for sale, you can stream it from his Reverbnation site here.
- Freddy Echiverri released an EP with me a few months back and immediately we dove in to a full length release. The EP was very much an alternative rock album. This new record is definitely leaning in a different direction – ranging from catchy, 90s garage rock a la Weezer to heavier, Muse-y alternative tunes. Yet it all fits together. It's always a blast having this guy in studio. His songs are always memorable and well-written.
4) Comin' Down the Pike, we have a few cool things lined up…
- November 21
- December 11
- December 12
- December 18
- March 14
- April 12
– I'm playing an acoustic set at 10pm at Jack's Patio Bar w/ Tera Ferna and Blue Shift.
– I'm playing the RAW Artists Showcase in Houston, TX @ Stereo Live.
– I'm playing at St. Philip Presbyterian Church in Hurst, TX w/ Paul Demer (he rocks my face).
– The lovely Dave Brent and I will be performing live on the air on the Live & Local show on KRTU 91.7, 10:30pm!
– The Adler Band is playing at the Come Alive in '15 Youth Rally in Rockdale, TX (with Unspoken, JJ Weeks Band, and others)!
– The Adler Band is playing at St. Timothy Lutheran Church in Houston, TX!
We will be booking lots more shows in the coming weeks/months, as well as starting some new music stuffs. I can't wait to see what's in store and share it with ya! Thank you, as always, for the support and love!
Hugs and unicorns,
PS – If you haven't seen it already, check out our new music video! –>

Okay, here come the questions....lol. How much did you pay for the arch decor? Did you bring your own or did the hotel supply it.I'm not sure how much the flower arrangements were. There was so much going on that I forgot what Chandlyn said & I didn't get an itemized list. I brought my own songs on CD for the ceremony that i gave to the wc at our meeting.
Did you use Michael for photography and the DVD? Did you tell you guys how to pose? Yes, i used Michael for photograpy & I hired the videographer thru the photoshop. Yes, he told us ways to pose & suggested we do what we wanted too.
Did the resort salon do your hair? They did a great job! Thanks! Actually my friend who is a hair stylist did all of the girls hair. She also did my makeup. I was really happy with how it turned out!
Where did you get your Cala Lily bouquet and how much? I used the floral shop thru the resort. I can't remember how much it was though, sorry...
Did you upgrade your cake, and if so, how much was it? No, that was the standard cake, it was more than enough!!
I think that you had the 4:00 ceremony, right? Yes. Did you notice around what time the sun begins to set?I think around 6 - 6:30 during that time of year. I would like to use tiki torches for my ceremony, but it still may be too bright out. Do you know if the resort rents out Tiki torches? I'm not sure.
Any pics of your reception? I'm dying to see!! Yes, I put the address on here and there are still more pro pics to come. I'll post again when I have everything up.
Okay, i'm gonna stop being nosey now and thank you for sharing your pics!! I WANNA SEE MORE.......lol

Dravet Syndrome and seizures affect 4 years old boy's life
If it weren't for the helmet he wears, you wouldn't think JJ Krentz was different from any other four-year old.
His mom, Tiffanie, describes him as rambunctious and high energy, always laughing with a big, bright smile.
But JJ also has Dravet Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that causes seizures and cognitive delays. Tiffanie says JJ's symptoms first surfaced when he was seven-months old, and suffered a frightening, 45-minuted seizure. They were sent home, hopeful it was a one-time happening. But a little over two months later, he had another seizure and Tiffanie and her husband Kevin noticed his development had slowed down.
It would be another two years before they'd get the diagnosis of Dravet. Meantime, JJ's seizures increased. He'd often have several a day, and he spent a lot of time in the hospital getting tests.
Today, JJ takes four anti-epileptic drugs. He's getting help at Easter Seals Capper Foundation for his developmental delays, but the seizures still happened. Tiffanie and Kevin don't know when the next seizure might hit, and that is cause for concern. Tiffanie says people can fall from a seizure and suffer a brain injury, or they may suffer one in their sleep "and they don't wake up the next morning."
JJ's family is trying to raise $11,000 so they can purchase a dog specially trained to alert them when a seizure is coming on. Tiffanie says they won't be able to stop it from happening, but a warning will allow them to get him to a safe place and make sure his emergency medicines are prepared.
Plus, the dog would be a constant companion, providing an extra level of support so Tiffanie and Kevin can give JJ what any parent wants for their child - the ability to be the best he can be.
"We'll be able to provide him his own sense of independence and the ability to explore the world a bit more than he can now," Tiffanie said.

So, this is probably the last of my interview series with my guild members. Salsah, a holy priest, wasn't elligable for the druid interview series, but he really wanted to fill out the survey, anyway. So, I said I'd post it if he filled it out for his priest! It's always good to know about the other non-druids on your healing team. 🙂 Our guild (Conspiracy on the Elune server) is always looking for more good players!
1. What is your priest character's name?
- Salsah
2. What is your priest's main spec?
- Holy 14/57/0
3. How long have you been playing WoW?
- Let's see almost 5 years now.
4. What has been your favorite part of the game in WotLK?
- The fighting between the Alliance and Horde. I personally think it is a good thing the two factions are fighting each other. It adds to the environment and adds depth to the game.
5. What has been your least favorite part of the game in WotLK?
- Ugh the constant grind of the gear in the game. I know that the better your gear gets the better prepared you are for the raid. Sometimes I want to go to a raid to kill the bosses and have a good time.
6. What do you like most about the priest class & your spec?
- The instant casts such as Circle of Healing and Prayer of Mending I always enjoy. I also love that Priest healing is different. You have a tool for almost every situation.
7. What do you like least about the priest class & your spec?
- I think the thing I like the least happens to be Lightwell. Unfortunately they still have that talent in the talent tree. Oh and every time I die and go into Guardian Spirit, my gender sensitive titles (Patron/Matron) change. Apparently the guardian spirit is a female which means that the title needs to change. It doesn't matter if you have that title equipped or not.
8. If you could change one thing about the game, what would it be?
- I would like to see holy form for Priest. It may sound silly but we already have shadow form. It doesn't have to do much, I just want to be a pillar of light and maybe wings. Okay you can forget the wings as long as the character is bright.
- To the actual game I would want to change the fact that nothing really changes. I want random fights across the world, or chaos happening on the streets of major cities. If you include a random element every now and then it keeps the community fresh and on their toes.
9. What raid instance from WotLK was your favorite? What was the best part of the instance?
- I would have to say ICC. There are different elements to fights besides tanking and spanking. Personally the Dreamwalker fight is a good example of this, relying on healers to help finish the fight.
10. What is your favorite instance of all time (either raid or 5-man)?
- I would have to say Stratholm. There is so much to that instance, you can tell they took their time making the instance. Different named bosses, a whole live side to the instance, fighting Baron Rivendare. The whole place was always a challenge every time you entered.

Hi LAnn, I cant keep dahlias in the ground here- too many slugs etc- so I always grow mine in big pots.
For over winter storage I wait until the foliage is blackened most times, or by the end of Oct for me re the frosts. Then I put the pot, on it's 'saucer', into my part glazed porch to dry off for about a week. Then I bubble wrap the pot, cut back the foliage, give it a 'cap' of fleece & shove it under a plant table. So mine are actually stored in their compost, but kept very dry.There it stays until late Feb/early March when I investigate the tubers & restart them on a windowsill inside.
I did try storing them 'properly' ie dry tubers in sand etc one yr in my shed & lost the lot. So back to my usual way.
The cellar sounds good as it wont freeze, it's dry too. Sheds arent frost free & an unheated greenhouse up Nrth will be too cold.
I did manage to keep 2 wrapped/covered pots alive in my big wooden coldframe last winter. They'd been eated to death by the slugs so I'd removed the labels-twit- & only decided to store them when I spotted fresh growth starting very late in the season. Am well pleased as they turned out to be 'good' ones I had & not Aldi's best!
Good luck, J.

In 1979, Washington D.C. was a place where people actually talked to each other...where adversaries fought it out on the Senate floor and then smoothed it out over drinks and hors d'oeuvres. But it was all about to change. In this play spanning 30 years and six presidential administrations, Hester Ferris throws Georgetown dinner parties that can change the course of Washington's politics. But when her beloved son suddenly turns up with an ambitious Reaganite girlfriend and a shocking new conservative world view, Hester must choose between preserving her family and defending the causes she's spent her whole life fighting for.From the prolific pen of novelist, essayist, and playwright Anthony Giardina comes a play about politics in family, and families in politics. A searing new drama, The City of Conversation delves into the ever-changing tapestry of U.S. Government and the people who shape it off the senate floor.
"Mr. Giardina's stimulating play illuminates the emotional toll that living in such a house divided (and a country divided) can take on its inhabitants." - The New York Times, Read More"'The City of Conversation' achieves something that eludes many other plays about Washington: a savvy depiction of social skill as political art, in a city that's defined by political science... Giardina's handiwork presents to the world one of the most fair-minded, even compassionate views of the partisan struggles of the city's political classes you're likely to encounter these days." - The Washington Post, Read More"'The City of Conversation,'...presents a peek at the political hostesses who pull the strings behind the scenes. Giardina's homage to a lineage of great Georgetown ladies from Perle Mesta to Pamela Harriman is also an elegy for that bygone era before partisan politics took all the fun out of the party." - Variety, Read More"No matter your political persuasion, you're very likely to feel flashes of rage and frustration. Giardina has created a microcosm of American society in one family: He brutally shows how that family is ripped apart and, more hopefully, how it could be sewn back together." - Theatremania, Read More

Borland, Abbrederis and Costigan should play in title game
Madison – Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema reiterated Monday UW should be close to full strength when it faces Nebraska in the Big Ten title game Saturday in Indianapolis.
According to Bielema, wide receiver Jared Abbrederis (head) and linebacker Chris Borland (hamstring) are expected to practice this week and play Saturday.
Guard Kyle Costigan, who suffered an apparent concussion in the loss to Penn State, has been cleared to play this week.
"I will be healthy enough to play in this game," Borland said Monday during a teleconference featuring three players from each team. "And I'm excited for it.
"I'm going to be vocal, both motivating and communicating on the field. Hopefully I can make guys comfortable out there, recognizing some things and identifying some things.
"But after that it's got to be making plays. That is the best way to contribute."
Despite missing two games, Borland is third on the team in tackles with 82. He leads the team in sacks with 4 1/2and is tied for second on the team in tackles for loss with nine.
He has also broken up six passes, recovered three fumbles and forced two.
Bielema mentioned that Borland almost missed the Big Ten opener against Nebraska, a game the Cornhuskers rallied to win, 30-27.
Borland said Monday he had sprained the medical collateral ligament in his right knee in the previous week against Texas-El Paso. He recorded nine tackles and recovered two fumbles in the loss to the Cornhuskers.
"I didn't know if I'd be able to play," said Borland, adding he missed one day of practice before the first Nebraska game. "But did a good job in rehab and felt like I was strong enough to go.
"I didn't think it affected my performance in my last meeting."

Bucerias, Mexico Weather & Climate
Bucerias has a typical tropical climate, with nearly constant temperature and humidity year round and receives 345 days of sunshine per year. Located 402 kilometers (250 miles) south of the Tropic of Cancer, Bucerias' sub-tropical climate is often compared to Hawaii since it is located approximately on the same latitude as the Hawaiian Islands.
Bucerias, and the Banderas Bay Area in general, is virtually immune from hurricanes. The Bay of Banderas acts as a natural barrier, pushing the storms out to sea, or further up the pacific coast. Only once in the past 35-40 years has Bucerias and surrounding communities experienced damage from a hurricane.
Bucerias, Mexico Average Temperature & Rainfall
High Season/ Low Season Travel
The best season to visit Bucerias is from November to May, when the temperature oscillates between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius and there are no rains pouring down.

All Images /The Sartorialist
Summer brings out my inner dichotomy. On the one hand, I love the heat. On the other, the hotter weather means that I can no longer run around in my sweaters. It's quite the conundrum. When I was in Milan in June, it was hot. Really really hot. Especially coming from mid-winter New Zealand. I went from zero to 35 degrees in 24 hours. All I could wear was a white tee shirt and my beige pants. Everyday of the week. Around me were hundreds of Italian men dressed in beautiful two or three piece navy suits. I'd never felt so under-dressed in my life and I couldn't figure out how they were managing it. Over there it seems style takes precedence over comfort. Here in New Zealand though, the onset of Summer brings with it one outfit of choice for men – singlet, board shorts, jandals. Horror.
I hate singlets, can't stand board shorts (even on surfers) and think jandals should never leave the beach. Especially on girls. I think girls wearing jandals on the street is up there with tights-as-pants.
But there are still options.
Plain white tee shirts, cuffed blue jeans, Chucks. 1950s Americana at its best.
Mismatched suits with cotton pants/linen blazers, white shirts, clean white pocket squares, no socks.
Shorts and tee shirts – as long as the shorts finish above the knee.
Blue cotton blazers with beige pants. Anything with a hint of the nautical is always good, and you can dress it up with a tie or dress it down with an open collared shirt.
Shorts and blazers.
Denim or chambray shirts with rolled up khakis and sneakers.

Save Money With These Great Plumbing Tips
Update – September 2017: Plumbing issues in your home or office should be taken seriously. Although there are many minor repairs that just about anybody can do, the majority of maintenance and repairs should only be reserved for trained professionals. These individuals have the proper knowledge and tools to correctly service your location and keep your residence safe.
If you have plumbing issues, you have to make sure you address the issue in the most efficient way possible. The information provided in this article will give you the ability to arrive at the proper solution for your plumbing situation.
If you don't want plumbing in your home frozen, then don't let the inside temperature go under the freezing mark, and make sure any pipes that have no protection from the elements are thoroughly insulated. It is easy for pipes to freeze whenever the mean temperature near the pipes drop below freezing. If you are lucky, you will only experience a minor inconvenience until the pipes thaw. However, frozen pipes often burst, causing damage to your home and a hefty repair bill.
Avoid septic tank problems by having your tank pumped out in five year intervals. Having your septic tank pumped will keep sediments from settling to the bottom of the septic tank and causing the tank to malfunction or backup. Pumping a septic tank might cost a lot of money, but it will cost your more money to clean any back up in sewage you may have had, and replacing your septic tank costs even more!!
Do not pay your plumber until they finish the job. Sometimes it is required to put a little money down before the job starts, but don't ever pay the whole amount before you know the task is done correctly. Any professional plumber, like the guys over at Coastline plumbing services, will honor this arrangement, and this will ensure that the plumber fully completes the job before getting paid.
Make sure there is a strainer covering all drains in order to collect particles that would cause a clog if they went down the drain. Whenever large particles become trapped in the strainer, remove them. You should clean out the strainer in your bathtub often.
Frozen pipes can be a disaster and cause you so much money. Fortunately, such damage is easy to prevent. Pipes in crawlspaces or outside your home should be thoroughly insulated. Secondly, when the temperature begins to drop, you want to drain and disconnect the hoses, then make sure you turn the outside faucet off. Doing this could help save lots of cash related to plumbing repair bills.
The next time you prepare to take on plumbing issues, give these tips a once over first. You want to make sure that you are getting the right professionals and taking care of things on your own if you can to save money. Take heed of the advice that has been offered to you.Read More Save Money With These Great Plumbing Tips

What are the sites (and magazines) on which you advertise doing for your dollars?
Are they working hard to bring traffic to their site and in turn to your site?
Are they building their business so that their site (or magazine) grows and in turn bring you attention?
Are they networking? Attending conferences? Keeping up, or going beyond, the trend?
Do they advertise anywhere? Or invest in SEO?
In the earlier years of the world wide web (the 90's) and blogs (2000's), advertisers could get by with less promotion on their end. But the game has changed. More sites, more competitors, more places to advertise. It's easy to send your money to an advertiser, but don't get lost in a sea of passivity.
Look to see if the places you advertise do the following:
- Invest in their own web updates
- Invest in a search engine optimization
- Attend national conferences
- Engage with people online in social media
- Network locally and/or nationally (this one is KEY and one that I don't see often enough)
- Exhibit at bridal shows or advertise online
Advertisers can definitely get away with NOT doing these things. A top google ranked site doesn't have to do much more. But I want to know that if I am pouring money into promotion on a site or in a magazine that that media source is doing everything to grow their network.

Amazing Food of East and West
404 Not Found
Hi All,
I can't believe that the summer is over, for those who live in Australia, that is. And I must say it was the worst summer weather ever, I am not one bit upset that it is finished. So I've decided to mark this small event with a big celebration and what is the pinnacle of every successful celebration – food of course! But not in a conventional way by sharing recipes and images of the dishes cooked and served at one or the other food establishments or home. No, I wanted to do something different and so I've opted to follow the pattern of the last few posts and share with you more!!! images from my photo library from the folder called "Food glorious food".
I hope that you find the diversity of these images fascinating?
Till the next post,

Time for a Reality Check at the UK Department of Health?
Margaret Williams 3rd April 2004
In response to a letter about myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) sent to the Secretary of State for Health (Dr John Reid), a reply dated 31st March 2004 was sent from the Department of Health on his behalf and was signed by Karen Nicolayson from "Research and Development". On the issue of whether ME/CFS is a physical or psychological disorder, the reply stated: "The Department of Health is neutral on this issue".
A look at information previously provided by the Department of Health is revealing because it shows that the above statement is at variance with what is on the public record.
From the above, it can be seen that the Department of Health and its associated official bodies are not "neutral" about ME/CFS as claimed on 31st March 2004 on behalf of Secretary of State Dr John Reid. What can be clearly seen is that either the Department of Health does not know what it is doing from one day to the next or, on no good evidence, it has allowed itself to be overly influenced by the psychiatric lobby. In my opinion, this makes their present unquestioning acceptance of the Wessely School's expediently constructed psychiatric paradigm all the more culpable, because although people are justified in relying implicitly on these documents from official bodies quoted above, they are being badly let down when they attempt to do so.
It is certainly the case that the present Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Community Care at the Department of Health, Dr Stephen Ladyman MP, has grossly misled both MPs and the public: it was he who by letter dated 7th October 2003 (ref: PO 1036444) stated in support of Professor Wessely's personal view that "The WHO ICD-10 classifies CFS in two places; as neurasthenia / Fatigue Syndrome on the mental health chapter (F48.0) and as Postviral Fatigue Syndrome / Benign Myalgic Encephalomyelitis in the neurology chapter (G93.3). The WHO has essentially put the same condition in both places". The international ME/CFS community must now be aware that the Health Minister, Lord Warner, had to admit in his letter of 11th February 2004 to the Countess of Mar that this was erroneous: even the letter of 31st March 2004 from Karen Nicolayson concedes this: "I confirm that the World Health Organisation (WHO), the WHO Collaborating Centre and the Department of Health have now agreed a position on the classification of CFS/ME (and it) has been indexed to the neurology chapter".
In view of what the Department of Health has previously stated about ME/CFS, is it not inconsistent for it now to claim in the same letter that it is "neutral" about ME/CFS, yet it accepts ME/CFS as a neurological disorder?

Hello everyone,
I am to use the delta-epsilon definition of a limit to show that the following limit does not exist. Unfortuantely, neither my instructor nor my textbook offer any worked examples or guides as to do this so I have been quite disillusioned so far. I have posted my attempt at a proof below.
Thank you very much for your help.
Prove that does not exist.
Proof #1: I came up with this but I don't think that it works because x depends solely on L. I think that delta should be in my somewhere since I have to show that for any , the definition of a limit does not hold.
If I am indeed right about this problem, how should I modify my proof?
