First weekend of Bluesfest displayed flower power
The Bluesfest party kept going this over the weekend, with wall to wall performances, and minor absurdities all around. Even by the first hour, there was a lot on the go. With so much happening, it's almost impossible to keep track of it all. Martyr's bringing you highlights from the weekend though.
Silkken Laumann are already known as a force on the Ottawa electronic music scene. As the crowd gathered around The River Stage, it was hard to see what the fuss was all about. Then they started playing, and as one fan put it: "This is what robots hear when they do acid," he said.
Which I have to assume is a positive thing. Their brand of psych-house isn't for everyone, but it does draw you in and keep you there.
For those able to resist that magnetic force, there was another local band playing on The Blacksheep Stage, local blues-rockers Cold Capital.Raw vocal, and in your face guitar, this was a return to form of sorts. In one of the greater ironies of the festival, this was easily the first "Blues" performance at Bluesfest. As an older man declared to me, completely unprovoked on my part:
"I don't get your generation, this is where the real music is. Where'd the instruments go, where's the love?"
Indeed, watching a band of consummate blues-rockers do what they do best makes the listener a little nostalgic.
Meanwhile, in the Barney Danson auditorium, Angelique Francis was performing her unique brand of R&B/Reggae infused music.
"It's really cool how she does all the instruments, guitar, stand-up bass, vocals" remarked on of the audience members as they shuffled out after her show.Heading back outside, you could see Darius Rucker (you may also remember him as Hootie, from Hootie and the Blowfish) beginning his solo country performance on the main Claridge Homes Stage. He's by all accounts an excellent showman but there were two far more interesting acts occurring on the smaller Black Sheep, and River stages.
Harper and Midwest Kind are a band of old-school rockers from Australia- combining traditional and aboriginal sounds to create a hybrid that is just fantastic to listen to. The combination harmonica/didgeridoo is a unique thing to hear, especially in the context of Bluesfest. They're clearly inspiring a new generation of Caucasians to think in a new direction, as an example exhibited to me in the crowd simply put it: "It's making me want to care more about the natives, man. Care, and drink."Meanwhile, over on The River Stage, producer Bonobo was blowing his audience's collective mind with his mixes. This is an artist at the peak of his prime, and ready to take on the world.
By the end of Bonobo's set, Journey had taken the stage on the Bell Stage, by the main entrance. They performed their hits valiantly, including "Wheel in the Sky" and "Don't stop Believing". But,some were less optimistic than others, "I stopped believing in Journey a long time ago." Oh the humanity. For people like this fan, there was another interesting group performing on the Black Sheep Stage. Honey Island Swamp band was formed by exiles from Louisiana during Hurricane Katrina. They've been described as playing "Bayou Americana", with a mix of blazing guitar, mandolin, and four part vocal harmonies. They had a short but sweet set, but left a definite impression with the audience.
Over on The River Stage, iconic recording artists Sly& Robbie performed. To give some scope as to their talent, they have performed on over 200,000 songs. By all accounts this was an amazing show, but a skunky haze seemed to have overtaken most of the people I asked about it. Must have been fog or something.On The River Stage a legend in his own right, Jeff Tweedy put on an amazing show. Tweedy, as you may know, is a founding member of Wilco. He's like a hipster messiah of sorts. To sum it up in the words of one his fans:
"JEFF TWEEDY PLEASE MARRY ME SO I CAN HAVE YOUR BABIES!" a statement which, no word of a lie, was followed by tears.
He played an amazing set, and was even accompanied by his son at one point.Leaving the grounds for the day, you could see water-bottles flying, as heavy bass reverberated. One of two things was happening. It was either the end of days, or Zedd was performing.
"I don't know how you can get famous without making any of your own music" was one observation from the crowd.
This observation was soon drowned out by shouts of "woo!" so I guess we'll never know.
Day two ended as it began, in a sea of noise and confusion, loving every minute of it.Weekends at Bluesfest are a little different. The festivities began on Saturday afternoon with the " She's the One Emerging Female Artist Competition, Presented by Jump! 106.9, a contest in which female artists between 16-19 compete for a cash prize and recording time in Los Angeles. It was a nice reminder of what the music industry is about, people living their dreams and taking chances. Unfortunately it was also four hours long, and there were a lot of other amazing things happening.
Old Stereo took the river Stage with their unique combination of soul/funk/pyrotechnics. "Something I wouldn't forget if I wanted to," was how a fan described it.
Meanwhile on the Claridge Homes Stage, up and coming song-writer Kalle Mattson performed to the biggest crowd of the afternoon. His show was described as "Like being able to see a piece of history." But we all know hipsters are prone to hyperbole.The real surprise of the day was local R&Brass group, BlakDenim. They brought together heavy brass, powerful lyrics, and an amazing stage presence to dominate the Black Sheep Stage. Having opened for bands like Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, they could definitely be described as a niche band. The nine-members, including flute, tuba, and female vocals absolutely proved that theory wrong. The concert was tight, and the lyrics cut deep. Watching them, you can see a band who's got nowhere to go but up.
Another notable act of the day were London Souls, who have a cool reinterpretation of the classic rock sound.But, let's be honest, most people came to Bluesfest on Saturday for one reason, two words. Lady Gaga. Wandering into her crowd 30 minutes before show time, you could easily be fooled into thinking it was an ordinary crowd.
Upon further inspection, there are women with red-bull can curlers in their hair, and dresses made of caution tape. This is Gaga's army of Little Monsters. "She gives us the courage to be ourselves," a fan exclaimed to me.
And, really, how can you argue with that?
Whether you enjoy her music or not, as the confetti cannons fired over a crowd of 30,000 people, you could almost see the stresses of your day glittering towards the earth.Sunday was a little more relaxed than the rest of the weekend. People seemed t be recovering from the previous night. There was an interesting mix of local artists playing throughout the day notably, Ottawa's own, Boyhood, a bizarre experimental pop project.
The two big draws of the day, undeniably, were The Violent Femmes, and Lady Antebellum. Fittingly enough each band's fans sort of function as a ven-diagram- there's some overlap (people who enjoy both) but for the most part, two different creatures.
Burnt-out Gen-xers mixed with hipsters in the Violent Femmes crowd, as they tore through old songs and a few new numbers. As a Canadian alternative music fan, this may have been the personal highlight of my career. They didn't disappoint either, rocking through a phenomenal hour long set. The band's stated goal is to rock harder than any other acoustic band, and they succeed time and time again.
The crowd for Lady Antebellum was slightly different. Tight jeans gave way to bandana shirts and cowboy hats. The mood, however, was no different. They're known as consummate performers, and they didn't disappoint one bit.

Jeffrey Steele Goes LIVE
Jeffrey Steele goes LIVE to talk about his new project Sons of The Palomino and the release of their new single "Countryholic"
Jeffrey Steele goes LIVE to talk about his new project Sons of The Palomino and the release of their new single "Countryholic"
Keith Urban serenaded Ellen with his latest single "Raise 'Em Up" ft. Eric Church. The song is nominated for a Grammy along with "Meanwhile Back At Mama's" Tim McGraw ft. Faith Hill. Both tunes were written by Tom Douglas, Jaren Johnston and Jeffrey Steele.
We all lost a remarkable songwriter this weekend. My dear friend Reed Nielson passed away and what a loss it is. His life will live on in the incredible music he created from his work with Nielsen/Pearson to Eddie Rabbitt to Billy Ray Cyrus to Vince Gill and others with songs like "Liza Jane", "Could've Been Me", "What The Cowgirl's Do", "My Town" and many more. I miss you Buddy, I hope you're biking in the clouds!
Tim McGraw, Faith Hill score another hit together…
Tim McGraw has a reputation for picking the right songs over the course of his 20-year career, although he says he had some help on his latest hit.
His nostalgic country single "Meanwhile Back at Mama's" was clearly a winner after he saw the reaction that his wife and fellow country singer, Faith Hill, had after playing a demo of the song.
To read the whole story click here.
Jeffrey Steele co-wrote the song "Get Back My Tomorrow" with Bonamassa and Jerry Flowers on the new Joe Bonamassa record Different Shades of Blue that will be released September 23rd. Pre-order a copy of the album here now!
Jeffrey Steele is part of the writing team that has helped to earn Tim McGraw his 54th top ten song. McGraw's current single "Meanwhile Back at Mama's" just broke the top ten and is still climbing the charts! Congrats to Jeffrey, Jaren Johnston and Tom Douglas.
Jeffrey Steele and his 3 Ring Circus crew are slated to play the annual YMCA Songwriters Night at 3rd & Lindsley April 17th! The line-up for the evening which will benefit the Brentwood YMCA includes 3 Ring Circus Writer's & Friends: Jeffrey Steele, Alissa Moreno, The Shuggah Pies, Brandon Hood, Alyssa Bonagura, Kurtis John, Charlie Crowe, Jimmy Stewart, Willow Park and more! Show 7-10pm doors at 6pm. Includes a live auction!

Gone Fishin'
September 29, 2016 by firstname.lastname@example.com | 0 comments
Disclaimer: I'm not a fisher-girl. So I don't know the lingo.
Back in April, David got to enjoy a classic OBX experience, Deep Sea Fishing. One of his best friends invited him to join a mid-week business perk fishing trip. The weather had been rough, so they were iffy as to whether or not they were even going to go out. As semi-experienced deep sea fisher-men, they took Dramamine the night before. Get it in the system.The seas were rough, 7-10 Ft swells, to be exact. They had booked The Trophy Hunter, a 54 Ft B&B Works out of Oregon Inlet. The captain drove up to the top of the Bonner Bridge to ascertain the state of the inlet. He said, "Roger that," they took more Dramamine and took off (shoved off, set sail, anchors away, etc.)
They went out about 25 miles, a three hour tour (actually, it took about 2 hours to get to the
gulf stream.) David has a set of very respectable sea legs. He says the key is to always look at the horizon, don't look down. He fared very well, let's just say one of his companions is a landlubber. Yikes, but to be fair, they had 7-10ft seas. Just look up at ceiling of the room you are sitting in right now. That's likely 8ft.
As soon as they dropped the line in the water the reels went wild! Yellow fin and Mahi 552lbs in under two hours. At times there would be 5 fish on the line! Crazy! Captain Kenny on Trophy Hunter definitely put them on the fish! Around 11:30 the live wells were already full and the weather was turning for the worse, so they headed back to shore. At the end of the day, due to the very rough seas, they were the only boat that went out. Like I mentioned, 7-10 Ft swells. David said that when the boat would crest the top of a swell, they could see Mako and Hammerhead Sharks in the adjacent swell. Scary stuff.
When they pulled into Oregon Inlet, they had the fish cleaned and then took them back to the captain's cottage and vacuum sealed it, all 256 lbs of it! The guys hosting the trip gifted us with 62lbs of Yellow Fin Tuna and we (and about a couple dozen of our friends and family) have THOROUGHLY enjoyed it! Of course, we had Seared Tuna for dinner. I don't believe I have ever had fish that fresh before. It was DELICIOUS! We're still enjoying the spoils of the day. There are still a couple tenderloins in the freezer, after this weekend, there will be one less.
These guys have great stories that go back three decades. This one has all the earmarks of a legend, an OBX fishing invite, rough seas, sharks, a ginormous haul and a great meal. I have no doubt this one will be added to the compilation. Particular thanks to Goodrich and our hosts.
As I stated in the beginning, I'm not a fisher-girl. Stories like this kinda make me want to be, kinda. David highly recommends Trophy Hunter for your next OBX Deep Sea Fishing Excursion!
Wishing you Fair Weather and Fond Memories,
Paisley & Pearl

The company said its average selling price rose 7.6pc to £175,613 as it focused more on family homes – three or four-bedroom detached properties – rather than flats in areas outside London. Bellway also benefited from completing several upmarket developments around the capital, which is leading the UK housing market.
Volumes were increased after it opened more sales outlets, helping Bellway sell 4,922 homes in the 12 months to the end of July, up from 4,595 a year earlier.
Pre-tax profits were £67.2m for the year, against £44.4m in the previous 12 months. The company raised its final dividend from 6.7p to 8.8p, payable on January 18, taking the total dividend for the year to 12.5p.
Analysts saw the results as hopeful for the wider sector as Bellway reported its weekly reservation rate had returned to a "typical pattern for a normal housing market", having picked up after a slow start.
"Bellway is rightly seen as the most cautious of the housebuilders, so the market should take note of the dividend surprise [10pc ahead of consensus] and that the statement talks of being 'confident' in delivering sales growth and margin improvements," said Charlie Campbell, analyst at Liberum Capital.
Alastair Leitch, finance director, admitted he and chief executive John Watson could have been seen as "gloom and gloomier in the past".
"What we see is a good outlook once we've got past the [economic] uncertainty," he said. "If we can get to springtime and we've not seen a double-dip and the end of the world, that will be the true barometer of where the housing market is going."
The start of the new financial year had been "encouraging", with reservations in the first nine weeks up 11pc, the company reported.
Shares in Bellway rose 21, or 3.1pc, to 689½p.

The first workshop was held last month with more than 50 people adding their input on design elements to be incorporated into different segments of the business Claremont roadway. Entire Story Definitely fabulous, and full of folly April 08, 2014 4:59 PM The "Fabulous, Frivolous Follies" has certainly become a mainstay not only at Mt. San Antonio Gardens, but also for Claremonters who enjoy classic, sometimes old-school, and definitely silly original entertainment. The 2014 version did not disappoint during the three performances last week, April 3-5. This 11th annual variety show first started in 1997 when people realized the talent pool that resides at the Gardens each year. The faces sometimes change, but the enthusiasm and excitement for the spotlight never ceases. Nothing was off limits. The Garden Belles, above, started the show with a wonderful rendition of "This Little Light of Mine." Be sure to check out our photo gallery from their Thursday performance.

The shopping center, located on the southeast corner of Indian Hill and Arrow Highway, remains busy, but without an anchor despite promising prospects. While officials remain mum about the procurement of a major tenant, further changes to the already extensively renovated marketplace are on the horizon. A preliminary architectural review will be held on Wednesday, April 9, to discuss the addition of a 6000-square-foot building on the side of the complex as well as to review other architectural fixes to complement recent renovations. Entire Story Speakers vie for international Toastmasters trophy April 04, 2014 9:39 AM Pride and prejudice were the winning topics this month for two Claremonters on their way towards the Toastmasters International Speech Contest in August. Claremont Graduate University student Nestor Ramirez took pride in inspiring his audience with "My Fight for an American Life." This patriotic speech chronicled his against-all-odds story of becoming an American citizen, soldier, and scholar. Deena Benjamin's speech, "A Change of Heart," was an insightful oratory on how racial prejudice can be generational but also remediated. She used examples from her own experiences as well as from Broadway show tunes.

Entire Story Winter wonderland...for some folks April 02, 2014 2:39 PM It been a tough winter season for skiers and lift operators alike at the Mt. Baldy Ski Lifts this year. Even with a couple of brief, yet cold storms that blew through the area during the week, there was little help covering the mountains with enough snow to ski on. Even at the bottom of the ski lifts at over 6000 feet in elevation, there was barely any snow on the ground. The weather during the week will continue to get warmer, with a high near 80 degrees on Sunday. COURIER photo/Peter Weinberger Entire Story Follies will take center stage at Mt.

Entire Story Idea-sharing site makes for picture-perfect weddings March 28, 2014 3:33 PM Planning your ideal wedding is about pursuing your dreams. You start with a castle in the air, a fantasy of the perfect nuptials you likely began constructing long before you met your soul mate. As in every flight of imagination, some of the details may be a bit hazy. Once you are engaged and a date is set, however, things start getting real. Concrete. You have to make countless decisions, from dress to décor, from menu to venue and from flowers to favors. Time is limited and, most likely, so is your budget.

County Sheriff's deputies use dogs to search the cargo on a Greyhound bus parked at the Claremont station on Friday. Police received a call that a bomb was on the bus forcing evacuations of the bus and several area businesses. After about 3 hours no explosives were found and the street was re-opened. COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff Entire Story City explores water system financing options, final vote in two weeks March 27, 2014 4:48 PM Only about 65 Claremont residents showed up at Taylor Hall on Monday night as the Claremont City Council made a major move on the potential purchase of the city's water system, proceeding forward with financing options. At a town hall meeting in November, officials estimated that current revenue generated from water could support as much as an $80 million purchase price for the water system. Should the water system and rights value come in higher than $80 million, the city would need to look to bonds to fund the overage. This week, the council unanimously agreed to explore the possibility of obtaining a voter-approved revenue bond if, indeed, the purchase is deemed more expensive. Entire Story Claremont receives highest grade for work on historical preservation March 27, 2014 4:14 PM Claremont received an "A+" in the 2014 Los Angeles County Preservation Report Card released on Tuesday, March 11 by the Los Angeles Conservancy, a nonprofit organization that works to recognize, preserve and revitalize the historic architectural and cultural resources of Los Angeles County. The report card assesses local governments' current efforts to ensure the preservation of historic and cultural resources. Entire Story City gets earful over management of Claremont Wilderness Park March 27, 2014 2:34 PM Claremont resident Jacob Swodeck makes a tongue-in-cheek suggestion regarding mountain lion warning signs during a meeting on Monday in Claremont seeking public opinion on the Claremont Hills Wilderness Master Plan. Mr. Swodeck, who lives in the area directly below the park's Mills Avenue entrance, also had some serious suggestions about the park's growing popularity echoing the concerns of dozens of citizens who spoke at the meeting. The city has hired consulting firm MIG Hogle Ireland to draw up the plan which will take about a year to complete.

He blames it on his bloodline, part of a long line of farmers who prospered in the vegetable fields of Michoacán, Mexico.

Your Custom Software Development Company
We Design and Build Digital Experiences
Our Custom Software Services Include:
Custom software solutions can protect your competitive edge.
With Level Up Development as your custom software development services partner, you'll be equipped to conquer any business challenge.
We use "partner" intentionally. We're not just a vendor. We are a software development company committed to moving you closer to success as you define it.
We are dedicated to being the business partner you tell your friends about. We pledge:
- clear and responsive communication of our daily and weekly progress, so you'll know your project is on schedule and moving in the right direction.
- continuous research of new technologies and methodologies, and the willingness to implement them immediately if they'll benefit your project.
- a design customized to you. No framework refactoring to add something as simple as a form here. Our design will support your budget now and through support.
Our recipe for successful custom software solutions:
Communication, People and Technology
Communication is at the heart of any custom software solution that will truly meet your needs.
Great communication requires balance: enough to keep you up-to-date, while not so much that it breeds confusion and missed deadlines. Level Up Development created a variation of the Agile Project Management Process to ensure transparency even when we're not talking with you directly.
The three-pronged platform offers the best features of texting and a bulletin board all in one. And just because we're techy doesn't mean we don't like the old-fashioned phone. A conversation is still the best way to hash out complicated objectives.
Reaching us is convenient for you, because we're on East Coast time! That means you can talk to your custom software development team on your schedule.
People. We love what we do because of you.
Each of us has been passionate about technology long before entering the field. We're fascinated by everything from frameworks to devices that can display messages on hangers. We use that passion to push each other to develop the most inventive solutions for every custom project we create. At Level Up Development, we always go the extra mile because our team is an extension of yours.
Technology. The wrong technology choice can affect a project's delivery and long-term maintainability.
The worst that can happen when trying to grow your vision is to find that your outsourced IT team didn't use standard Object-Oriented Principles or Software Design Patterns when constructing your code. These practices can lead to significant scalability, maintenance and security issues. Level Up Development's process ensures flexibility, responsiveness and quality results.
Don't take our word for it. See what our clients have to say.
They generate ideas that you didn't think of before, which you then can incorporate into the development instead of going back and redoing something later.
It's not rocket science: When you know you have a good team, you use them.
Their communication is great. They constantly give feedback. They're very good about explaining what they're doing and how it's being done, so we get an idea of what it takes to meet our goals.
It's a tendency of technical people, myself included, to decide what the solution is as soon as you start talking about a problem. Level Up Development can block all that out and listen to what your problem is, ask all the right questions and truly understand what the problem is before they try to fix it.
Innovative problem-solving, communication, custom processes and an unwavering focus on your core business goals all define Level Up Development as among the best in the industry.Yet it's ultimately how we deliver results that exceed our clients' expectations. These case studies show how we achieve these results with some of the best companies in the industry.

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND – Mites are back, thanks to global warming, and that's not good news for winelovers. Cheer on those growers out among the vines in coming weeks, as they go after the cheeky little pests who party in hordes and destroy young growth on vines.
The problem is that mites love dry, hot summers, and that's what we've been having. Their enemies, acariens typhlodromes, don't thrive in that kind of weather.
The ACW (Agroscope Changins-Wädenswil) federal research station says there is a solution. It's complicated, however, because Mediterranean and other warmer climate pests are also arriving on the scene as temperatures rise, but using insecticides on them could spark a major population explosion of hungry mites.
The good news is that global warming is also bringing new predators of the pests into Switzerland, so researchers are scurrying to find organic rather than chemical solutions, a kind of bug eat bug approach.
Grape growers will have to be flexible enough to keep adapting and to use new spring treatments, says ACW. Its own research aims to find ways to simplify growers' work in the vineyards, to encourage them to use these natural methods.
Pesticide use in the 50s and 60s in Switzerland, as elsewhere, killed mites' predators and sparked a population explosion. Switzerland then became a pioneer in integrated production methods for growing wine grapes, an approach that in the past 30 years has dramatically rebalanced pests and their natural predators in Swiss vineyards. The second group has been given the upper hand.
A mite-free world requires continual fine-tuning, it now appears
The turnaround has been so dramatic that many younger growers have never seen a mite, according to ACW.
But now, says the federal agricultural research station, mites are on the march and heading for vineyards again, particularly in canton Valais.
Integrated production is the next best thing to organic, known as bio in Switzerland, with its emphasis on ecological balance but without some of the constraints imposed by organic growing regulations.
One organic rule in particular, about not growing grapes too close to vine parcels where pesticides and herbicides are used, makes it difficult for many Swiss growers to go this route, since they have small parcels in the midst of several others owned by a number of growers.
Swiss growers' integrated production charter puts the accent on using organic methods as much as possible; creating a growing environment that encourages bio-diversity; soil preservation over the long term and minimal impact on water, soil and air; protecting the health of vineyard workers while producing top-quality, healthy grapes.
It has been nearly unanimously adopted in Switzerland, with excellent results. A group of Australian researchers studying Switzerland's use of IP in vineyards in 2007 noted that "adoption by the Swiss wine industry of the Integrated Production (IP) approach to wine grape growing has shown a large increase in biodiversity and a reduction in pesticide and … fertilizer use."
It turns out that there isn't one simple solution to maintain this admirable situation, which has also helped growers develop good quality wines, but rather a process of continual fine-tuning in the vineyard.

a little overdue project
Since moving my work area to the tiny space between the kitchen and living room (my former workspace was a room at the back of my house that I think was built over a deck and not insulated and I refuse to work in there in the winter), I've been using an antique secretary desk I've had kicking around for a few years since it's compact. At some point someone painted it a mint green, and then rubbed a yellow stain all over it. Really bad faux finishing job. I couldn't take it anymore, so I finally got around to painting it. Here are some before photos:
As I have an affinity for flat black paint, that was of course what I painted it. But I gave it a little twist, and painted the bottom half of the legs in glossy black. I'm very happy with the results - but anything would have been an improvement. (Pay no attention to the curtain in the window - I have another project in mind for that).

Among the must-do's: a breathtaking drive on the serpentine Hana Highway and watching the sun rise above the clouds at the 10,023-foot summit of Haleakala, the world's largest dormant volcano.
Maui is the ideal location for those in search of romance and family-friendly adventures.
The central Maui town of Kahului/Wailuku is the major business and government center and home to the majority of the island's population.
Traveling North and East you'll find the former sugar town named Paia where the trendy, hippie and old-fashioned co-exist. Also along the tropical North Shore is Hookipa Beach Park, a world-renowned windsurfing area.
Further East and up the hill from the Hana Highway is Haiku. This former pineapple-plantation village offers an idyllic setting for those who want to experience a quieter side of Maui, but will enjoy being only a 10-minute drive away from the beach.
The far East side of the island is home to Hana, a tiny town between a rain forest and the Pacific Ocean where you can really get away from it all. No shopping malls or chain fast food joints here. Pristine beaches and small-town old Hawaii calm will be found here.
South Maui is the hottest, sunniest and driest coastline on the island. Here you'll find the resort district of Wailea and Makena with its Beverly Hills-style shopping, golf courses, tennis and, of course, multi-million dollar resort hotels. For the more budget-conscious traveler, Kihei offers affordability, eight sandy beaches and convenience.
West Maui is home to the lush wilderness, valleys and jagged peaks photographed for many a postcard or vacation album. It's also one of the island's major resort areas. In Ka'anapali you'll find sprawling beaches and Hawaii's first master-planned resort. Shopping, dining and a whale museum can also be part of your plans while in Ka'anapali. You'll be in the center of it all - restaurants, shops, galleries, nightlife and even a dash of history - in the historic whaling town of Lahaina. Napili and Kahana offer great beaches, shops and restaurants. Nearby are the gold sand beaches, manicured golf fairways and sparkling pineapple fields of Kapalua. Two bays here are natural marine preserves and favorites for winter surfing.

Owls, Bunnies, Monkeys & Chickens
My favorite has to be the owl. I think it turned out well and looks really cute.
The Owl is a new pattern that I got from a magazine called "Amigurumi". It has since gone out of print which is a real shame because it was quite a good publication. I managed to purchase the first 3 volumes but haven't seen it for sale since. I actually think it was one of the better publications compared to some of the others that are around at the moment.
I buy a lot of crochet and knitting magazines but what I am discovering is that a lot of them are owned by the same publisher and so they tend to print the same patterns across the different magazines which can be a bit annoying especially when you end up with the same pattern from 3 different magazines.
The bunnies and the chicken are patterns that I bought from Ebay years ago. At the time they were the original pages of the patterns but now it seems that everyone sells copies of these patterns which must be very frustrating for the original pattern writer.

This year's Best R&B Song Grammy winner talks about his musical style and what may follow his critically acclaimed sophomore CD.
Singer-songwriter-producer Miguel
Tavis: Miguel is having a breakout year. His most recent album, "Kaleidoscope Dream," debuted at number one on the "Billboard" R&B charts, and his performance of his single "Adorn" at this year's Grammys all but stole the show.
He's being called a true R&B innovator, combining elements of soul, funk, hip-hop and rock. Let's take a look first at Miguel singing his single, "Candles in the Sun."
Tavis: Literally not even two months ago, Jeffrey Osborne, the great R&B artist, as you know, was on this program, and Jeffrey was lamenting the death, the death of R&B.
Miguel: Wow.
Tavis: This was before you hit the Grammys.
Miguel: Wow. (Laughter)
Tavis: He got a chance to see you do your thing and steal the show. There are a lot of critics, music critics, that is, who are referring to you and a couple of other artists as the new progressive R&B artists. How do you read that kind of compliment?
Miguel: I think there's always been progressive R&B music. I think more than anything, though, it's just the timing and that people are willing to pay attention to it, you know? And when it's getting a chance to kind of be in the forefront.
I suppose maybe, you know, we're all a bit tired of this kind of superficial R&B music, that it's kind of been all we hear in mainstream music, or being played via mainstream outlets. So we're all wanting something with a little more depth and a little more personal. You take blues, it being the birthplace for rock and roll; R&B being the birthplace for hip-hop. You know, we're seeing a genre who was always kind of at the cutting edge and at the forefront kind of take a back seat and almost be less the influencer and be more the influenced.
So I supposed it's just kind of a, you know how music is kind of cyclical and trends are cyclical in that sense. Maybe it's just kind of that time where it comes back around.
Tavis: To your point, Miguel, about R&B and hip-hop, I'm fascinated by that, and I take your point, which raises this question – to what extent do you think that R&B took a beating from hip-hop in this particular genre, in this particular arena, in this, you know, period of time, everybody your age and younger or slightly older, for that matter, wanted to be a hip-hop artist.
How much of – and I love hip-hop, so I'm not trying to cast aspersion on it.
Miguel: Right, no, me too, absolutely.
Tavis: How much of hip-hop, how much of the success of hip-hop, came at the expense of R&B?
Miguel: Well you can – it's a very visual thing. You can look at, you know, in the '90s, all of the R&B groups, a lot of our favorite R&B groups, Jodeci, SWV, the styling, even down to the styling, it was almost chasing this, like, harder image, which is, which is cool. I appreciate all of that and I'm a fan of it, I grew up listening to that.
Boyz II Men, like when they first came out, it was all very much after the styling of hip-hop. To its credit, hip-hop is my favorite genre, to this day, and it's hard not to be influenced by the culture and by the movement of it and by the soul of it. But I think ever since then, R&B never really had its own identity. It was kind of lost in the identity of another.
As opposed to I think now what we're coming to is a place where it's no longer about a collective identity, a look and feel, or a sound. It's more about the individual perspective, at the same time staying true to this soul that's driving the expression.
So whereas my perspective will always start at a soulful expression, it is the sonic that is built around, and my lifestyle, that kind of gives it a different edge. Gives it a different edge.
Tavis: So let's back up, let's rewind the tape, like, a year or to.
Miguel: Let's do it.
Tavis: Before people knew who you were on the Grammys – Kelly Clarkston and others are shouting out, "I don't even know who you are, but I want to sing with you."
Before all that happened on the Grammys, you got to a point in your career after your first record where you decided to get more involved in taking control of your career, and I'm always fascinated by people who, again, decide that they are going to manage themselves into success.
So you put out these mix tapes, and I'll let you explain for all the old folk watching PBS right now who don't know what a mix tape is. I'll let you explain what the mix tapes are, but just take a second here and explain to me how you basically, you and your team, crafted the success by going to social media and beyond, and built up this opportunity to get you, ultimately, on the Grammy Awards.
Miguel: Absolutely. Well, interestingly, another huge part of hip-hop culture that has become almost a staple or almost an expectation is for an artist to put out free music via a mix tape, and then you do that online, which is a collection of music that you put out for free.
On the one hand, as a marketing tool, it can be extremely effective. You look at artists like Drake, who from his very first mix tape really was touring and making money without a deal, and took that and created his career as a musician.
Or you look at Frank Ocean, who did, who was a more obscure artist on Def Jam, writing an album complete, but was kind of sitting in the wings, just kind of waiting, and because of being fed up, put his own music out and took the momentum of that, and obviously has made quite an impact on music.
Kind of watching as my career at the time was, it was moving forward. I'd been able to, we had put music out, we had successful singles, but I wasn't connecting as an artist. There was no, people didn't even know that it was the same artist singing these songs that were being successful on the radio. They didn't know that it was me. There was no connection.
I was just frustrated, so I kind of took a look at my peers and was kind of watching who was making these moves and how they were doing it in a smart way. I wanted to do it in a way – something similar that didn't compromise my value for music.
Because at the same time you're putting free music out, you almost devalue how value – you're just kind of giving it to them, so people, why would they go pay for it if it's free all the time? They can go to their favorite blog and find 25 songs from this artist. Why are they going to pay $10 for 16 songs of yours, or what have you?
So I came up with this idea to put out a series of EPs, free EPs. Each one had three songs on them. I would shoot one video for each EP, and I would put them out over the course of three months, and then just kind of use it as a marketing tool and see what was the best way of releasing music.
So we did that last year. The vehicle was called Art Dealer Chic, the project, and the very first video we shot for the very first EP was for "Adorn," which has become the most life-changing song in my career thus far.
Man, it just was so exciting to watch people really connect to this video. I put the video out first, and the anticipation thereafter for each EP just kind of was insurmountable, and just kind of built.
Tavis: But you weren't getting paid, though.
Miguel: No. (Laughter) No, no.
Tavis: There's a problem here. There's something missing.
Miguel: But when I was eight years old, writing songs or stealing my uncle's four-track recorder from his garage studio or working all these years before I had a deal, I wasn't getting money either.
Tavis: Yeah.
Miguel: So that's not the reason why I make music. To completely honest, as a creative individual, I do this for my own sanity. It's something, it's an inherent need.
Tavis: See, I love that. I love that about it. So now we can work our way up to the Grammys right quick here. So what did or has the success of being on that show, being seen by, like, 30 million people almost, how's that impact one's career when you get to that moment after all these EPs.
Now here you are on the Grammys, and everybody's watching you, and you steal the show.
Miguel: I only knew that I wanted to have a good time. I only wanted it to be everything that I imagined it to be.
Tavis: Was it?
Miguel: It was more. It was more.
Tavis: Yeah. (Laughter)
Miguel: Just kind of looking around, taking a glance at who I was, because we were right in the middle of the aisle, so we're here with all the musicians and producers and executives and so on and so forth. It was kind of like this moment of realization, that it was really happening, and it was kind of like you can almost kind of shrink in that moment, or you could celebrate it, and I promised myself when I was a kid that if I ever had the chance, I was just going to have a good time.
Tavis: Yeah.
Miguel: If you ever had a chance, and there I was. Since then it's just been really cool, man, to have artists reach out and want to work. It's been really cool.
Tavis: Well, this is not the end of the story. We'll put a pause in this story for the moment, because I suspect that while this is Miguel's first time on the program, it will not be his last.
So there are two ways you can check his stuff out. You can go online and get the free stuff which is out there, and he'll appreciate that. But I think he'll appreciate just as much you buying the new stuff. (Laughter)
Miguel: Absolutely.
Tavis: You can do that too, but remember the name – Miguel. In case you didn't see him on the Grammys, I'm sure somewhere online you can find the performance. But it was an amazing performance, and you will be seeing and hearing this name a lot more in the coming months and years. Miguel, good to have you on this program.
Miguel: Thank you so much for having me.
Tavis: It's my honor, man, my delight.

Representatives from the 32 American football teams in the NFL will gather in New York's Radio City music hall on April 25 for the 2013 Draft, the annual recruitment fair for American's hottest college players, and there is every chance that Okoye will be among those who will land a professional contract, either through the draft itself or as a free agent.
That would be a truly astonishing turn of events because Okoye has never played so much as a second of American football in his life.
What he does have to offer, however, is a 6ft 6in, 21½ stone frame and the ability to run ridiculously fast for a man of his colossal size, as NFL talent scouts saw with their own eyes last week when Okoye and more than 200 other young hopefuls travelled to the Cowboys Stadium in Dallas to take part in the NFL Super Regional Combine – the final trial before next week's draft.
Judging by the feedback Okoye received after his three hours of non-contact skill drills and physical tests, it seems certain that UK Athletics will soon be losing its most talented thrower in years to the gridiron ranks.
Within minutes of leaving the field, representatives from five teams were queuing up to interview him. Other teams had already sounded him out following his performance at a regional trial in Atlanta last month, where his prodigious physical attributes earned him his invitation to Dallas.
"I'd say I've spoken to up to 15 teams now," said Okoye. "I've been told to keep it quiet about which teams have been talking to me for privacy reasons but a lot of teams have been talking to me, and that's very encouraging.
"Every team I've spoken to have said they are really impressed with me. They say there's no one who is 304lb who can run that fast in this country. All the teams have said that."
Okoye, who in the past few days has been spotted visiting the San Francisco 49ers and the New Orleans Saints, claims to have clocked 10.95sec for the 100 metres as an 18-year-old. He was also a promising rugby union player on the books of the London Irish academy before deciding to concentrate on the discus.
In his first year as a senior athlete in 2011 he broke the British record and won the European under-23 title. Despite a below-par 12th-place finish in the Olympic final, he finished last season as the fifth-ranked discus thrower in the world.
But American football has been a long-standing interest and, reasoning that he had everything to gain and little to lose by taking some time out of his athletics career at the start of the Rio 2016 Olympic cycle, Okoye decided to attend the Atlanta trial while in the United States on a warm-weather training camp.
The career switch has caught many by surprise, however. It was only a few months ago that Niels de Vos, the chief executive of UK Athletics, was accompanying him to a meeting with his Oxford University admissions tutor to seek a deferral of his law degree course until after the 2017 World Athletics Championships in London. Okoye's intelligence is another attraction to would-be NFL employers given the steep learning curve he faces to become familiar with the intricacies of the game.
Okoye says he will return to athletics if things do not work out but he is not expecting to be throwing again anytime soon.
"The fact that I've never played college football before means it would be unheard of for me to be drafted," he said. "But some of these guys have said, 'Don't be surprised if you get picked up in the seventh round'.
"It's unlikely but not impossible but, to be honest, being drafted is not necessarily the best thing for me. If I'm undrafted then I'm a free agent, and if I get 15 offers I can choose who I want. I think that's best for me.
"It would be good for me to choose the team that I feel I have the best chemistry with and who really want to work with me, whereas if I'm drafted I have to go to whoever picks me. All I can say now is that I'm very confident that I'll be on a team by the end of the month."
Okoye has been earmarked as a defensive end – one of the more glamorous positions on the American football roster with the opportunity to earn kudos by sacking the opposition's quarterback.
The job requires explosiveness, quick feet and strength, and Okoye showed all three qualities in abundance during his tests in Dallas, beginning with a 40-yard dash timed at 4.84sec that was one of the quickest out of the 23 defensive end auditionees, despite him being easily the biggest and heaviest.
He also produced the best long jump from a standing position (10ft 7in) and the second highest vertical jump (36in), again from both feet planted on the ground. Both tests are used to measure explosive power.
But it was the skill drills, designed to test agility and body control, that created the biggest stir among the watching scouts and NFL officials. Okoye's execution of them was far from out of place among players brought up on the sport.
Ray Anderson, senior vice-president of NFL football operations, was one of many onlookers pleasantly surprised by the performance of "the English guy".
"He's certainly impressive physically, so the things we've been really watching are how he is able to move and adjust," he said.
"Apparently, the strides he's been made since the prior camp have been recognised as very positive. Physically, he's not the kind of guy you're going to pass up. You're going to give him an opportunity to show what he can do."
Gil Brandt, former vice-president of player personnel at the Dallas Cowboys and a doyen among the NFL talent scouts, was just as effusive.
"He was very, very impressive in all the drills," he said. "If he isn't drafted, I would imagine that there will be about 15 teams on his doorstep trying to sign him to be a college free agent. I think you ought to let those people back in England know that he's got a good chance of making it."


text: Does anyone know of a Unix Operating System benchmark suite, which benchmarks OS performance on a wide range, i.e. network, disk I/O, various IPC (Interprocess Communication) performance etc. The idea is to run as many tests as possible and compare different operating systems, i.e. NetBSD vs Linux vs Solaris etc. Something similar to http://bulk.fefe.de/scalability/ but on a bigger scale. I'm sure a lot of people are interested to know which OS performs better, and having accurate benchmarks could provide some useful info. For example, NetBSD may perform better in some networking tasks, but Solaris might perform better in disk I/O, or under very heavy load. I am looking for a single package, which could run all these benchmarks on different Unix OSes and produce some interesting numbers. If there isn't one, I might start writing my own :-)

Nice Stay very HomeyPosted May 18, 2014
Pros: Very quiet and close to everything.
Cons: Maybe the furnishings can be updated? But not necessary.
Location: You are near the main street route 158 which will take you to stores that you may find handy.
This is a nice hotel very homey. If you are someone that is use to a higher end hotel you will not find that here. This is basically a nice and clean resort for down home people. Nothing really fancy or upscale but it is clean and restful. I was with my husband and two of my adult children in a 2 bedroom suite. It was comfortable and roomy. Nice power jet tub in the master bath. We were place in an ocean front which was a pleasant surprise. I understand OB Ocean 1 is across the street and Ocean II is ocean front. You will not receive daily room service and you have to clean your room and strip beds before departing. Which I have found with most resorts.

There were plenty of restaurants within walking distance. The beach was perfect, and we got to see a lot of dolphins very close to shore! All of the amenities the hotel has (several pools, washer/dryer in unit, shuffleboard, etc) are another great benefit. We will be back to this hotel!

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 1 – Beginner)
Topic: Teacher (10/26/06)
TITLE: Learning Faithful Endurance
By Kristina Adams
For the first three years after high school, I had no focus on what I wanted to do. I went to two colleges before finally settling in at a small Christian university. I had considered teaching, but knew that teachers had long hours, didn't get paid much, and had the huge responsibility of forming young peoples' minds. Frankly, I didn't feel up to that much intensity.
During one summer, I finally decided to take the frightening leap into the unknown abyss of elementary education. As I went back to school, I was filled with trepidation, but felt God's guidance through the processes I had followed to choose to become a teacher. I felt my thoughts focusing, my confidence in my teaching abilities begin to grow, and my call to become a teacher confirmed.
Before I knew it, my junior year had begun. My first semester teaching language arts was truly enjoyable because I was in my element, always having enjoyed the written word. The next semester included my weaker subjects of math and science.
Second semester was extremely challenging, a nightmare, summed up at the end of junior year with a review board of all the university educational staff analyzing my work.
My second semester professor actually said, "Kristina, you have really struggled in your work this semester. I really can't see you being successful as a teacher…are you certain that this is the profession that you want to focus on?"
I was crushed, especially after I had finally felt like I had found my niche, my place where God would bless my work!
My eyes bright with tears, I said, "I know God wants me to finish the work I began here, and I deserve to finish student teaching next semester."
The professors reluctantly gave me forms needed for student teaching.
I had near panic attacks throughout the summer following the ghastly educational review. When I began student teaching in the fall, I was frozen in fear of imminent failure. Finally, halfway through my student teaching, I decided I hated teaching, and called my observing professor up to tell her I was going to quit. She suggested I speak with a counselor, before making my final decision.
In desperation, I went to a university counselor who I trusted and unloaded the hurt, fears and depression I was feeling. I explained how every morning when I woke up, I felt ill and my fiancé was subjected to my daily tears.
I ended my monotone recital with a catch in my voice as I said, "I just don't understand that if God guided me to this place, and told me that He wanted me to become a teacher, why do I hate it so much, and why am I so miserable?"
I will never forget the counselor sitting straight up in her chair, looking me squarely in the eye, and saying, "God told you to become a teacher?"
Surprised by her intensity, I fairly stuttered out, "Yes, I believed so, but now I'm not so sure."
She retorted, "Well, then, there it is. You heard God. He wants you to become a teacher, and therefore you will not give in when you are so close to the finish line. It's a matter of fulfilling God's purpose in your life."
That was the turning point. It was a difficult road, but I had renewed purpose. I finished student teaching and became a certified teacher.
Although teaching can be an intense experience, it is also an experience of joy, rediscovering childhood wonders and recalling what others need to hear to build their confidence in their abilities.
Whenever the struggles I am currently having threaten to overwhelm me, and the defining lines around the edges of my dreams have become only a blurred remembrance, I look back to my student teaching experience for inspiration. Inspiration that reminds to be patient with myself, keep looking to God for guidance, and rely on a faithful Christian support group to remind you of your aspirations when you have forgotten your dreams.
