Q&A Sessions

Fan Corner
Philadelphia Inquirer (PA), November 2, 1990

CHARLOTTE, N.C. If ever a band should have crashed and burned it was Fleetwood Mac.
More than two decades of alcohol and drugs. Intramural sex, extramural sex, divorce. Members lost to a religious cult, to insanity, to the streets. Raging prima donna-ism. Glorious self-indulgence. Wild overspending.
Not that this behavior was exactly a secret, but it is now officially on the record with the recent publication of Fleetwood: My Life and Adventures in Fleetwood Mac (William Morrow & Co.) by the group's co-founder, Mick Fleetwood. At 43, the 6-foot-6 British drummer is the centripetal force of this strange, often wonderful, ever-mutating group. "Without Mick," says co-founder and bassist John McVie, "this band wouldn't have lasted any length of time."
Now in its 11th incarnation, Big Mac, as it has been called ("More than 40 million sold"), brings its traveling roadshow/soap opera to the Spectrum tonight to help push its latest album, Behind the Mask.
With the recently announced departure of Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie (John's ex) at tour's end to pursue their own interests, the group is moving toward another transfiguration, its shape as yet unknown.
Just how the band has survived - and why - is a mystery even to those who sustain it.
"This thing called Fleetwood Mac, for better or worse, is greater than all of us," says John McVie, 44, backstage before a concert at the Charlotte Coliseum. Gray-haired, bearded, with a penguin tattooed on his forearm, he is quiet, vague, a little lost. His drink is a big cup of cranberry juice and brandy.
"And it's like a thing, a nebulous entity that flies around. You're committed. And you should be committed. And, in the future, we will be committed," he continues, amused at his own wordplay.
For all that it reveals - a clandestine affair between Mick and the band's blond princess, Stevie Nicks; the huge quantities of cocaine sniffed Fleetwood's book is remarkable in its restraint. Says McVie, "Mick's book comes out and there's a lot of apprehension: 'Will he say this? Will he say that?' There's so much stuff that he didn't say."
Says Fleetwood, a properly brought-up Englishman, whose late father was a wing commander in the Royal Air Force, "I just knew I wasn't going to be vindictive and cheap about it, and I feel that I haven't been."
The drummer is a thin stalk of a man, with piercing blue eyes, his iron-gray hair pulled back in a ponytail. Backstage, before the concert, he is dressed all in black, except for his turquoise suede shoes. Around his neck hangs a silver ball - a totem for this man.
He allowed no one to see the book before it was published last month - much to Nicks' dismay. This summer she lambasted him in US magazine: "I told him, 'Mick, if you slander me, babe, I'll bury you. I will write down everything that you have ever done and put it out.' "
Now, Fleetwood insists, Stevie wishes he had written more about her.
Fleetwood felt it was important to disclose their romance. "I don't fall in love every other day," he says now, "and she still is a soul mate of mine." What he writes is hardly salacious. As he tells it, their on-and-off affair began in New Zealand in 1977 during, believe it or not, his second marriage to his first wife.
We were driven back to our hotel in a ferocious downpour, clinging to each other in the back of the car. Up in her suite, I said, "I think I'd like to stay here tonight."
Later, Fleetwood flew to Hawaii to see her. Tripping on LSD, Nicks went to the wrong airport to meet him.
When the book, which took 2 1/2 years to write (with Stephen Davis, author of the Led Zeppelin book Hammer of the Gods), finally came out, everyone on the Fleetwood Mac jet pored over his or her copy. For the most part, it was well-received. Says John Courage, the band's longtime road manager, and, as the book recounts, its former cocaine procurer, "It all happened, it is what it is."
The group's lead guitarist, Rick Vito, who grew up in Glenolden, first saw the band play in 1968 at Philadelphia's Electric Factory. He and guitarist Billy Burnette joined Fleetwood Mac in 1987, a particularly tumultuous time. On the eve of the Tango in the Night tour, songwriter-guitarist Lindsey Buckingham (Nicks' ex-lover) had abruptly departed.
As Vito read Fleetwood's book he was struck with a realization: "All these passages of turmoil, or this drama or that drama . . . this is exactly the same as it is now."
He adds, "It's always been the kind of group that walks that fine line, that walks the edge. Danger!"
And the nuttiest member? "Mick," Vito replies without hesitation.
John McVie, for one, is not amused by the book. Mick Fleetwood is his oldest and best friend. They are charter members of the group, which was named for them both when it began in 1967 as a London blues outfit. A year later McVie married Christine Perfect, a singer for the British group Chicken Shack. They divorced in 1975, during a particularly dark period when he was awash in alcohol.
Seated in a small dressing room lit by blinding fluorescents, McVie says bitterly, "I think the ladies came off with halos, like they never made smells in the bathroom. I came off like a piece of -" He stops to check himself, then bursts, "Oh, an awful person. Do you see me as that, Mick? I guess he did. An awful, awful person."
Christine, 47, a striking blonde whose dusky alto is a signature of the band, is portrayed as nearly superhuman. As Fleetwood tells it, men are always proposing to this fabulous female. He writes:
Christine could write music, play piano, sing like an angel, rehearse all day with the men, and cook a big dinner without batting an eye.
Nicks, a Californian who joined the band with her lover Buckingham in 1975, is described as delicate, moody. A Star. ("I'm about as fragile as a bull," she once told the Los Angeles Times.) Now 42, the Betty Ford Center grad (in 1987) still wears her blond hair to the middle of her back.
But the "sensuous gypsy girl," as Fleetwood calls her in the book, has lost some of her glow. Two hours of makeup go into creating the illusion; the flowing capes she wears on stage can't camouflage her new corpulence. (And those platform boots, where does she find them?)
"Stevie," says Fleetwood backstage. "Out of everyone in the band, she definitely has a double image. She appears to be, and is, a very different person than when she is off stage. Always has been. She is a performer, a true theatrical performer."
The Fleetwood Mac sound is baroque, swirling. The songs tell tales of love, of love gone wrong, of love gone. Fleetwood describes the music as: "mystic, timelessly triste."
Often, the band members' soaring harmonies on stage existed in striking counterpoint to the disharmony that existed off stage: Never was this more true than in 1976, during the making of their highly autobiographical album Rumours, which turned out to be one of the biggest hits of all time, selling 20 million copies.
This emotionally charged period represented the height of soap opera, even for Fleetwood Mac. The McVies, recently divorced, were barely speaking. Nicks had just walked out on Buckingham. And Fleetwood was in the midst of a stormy divorce from his wife, Jenny, mother of his two daughters. (Jenny is now a therapist. Fleetwood married Sara Recor, a former model, in 1988.)
Fleetwood writes: We went four or five weeks without sleep, doing a lot of drugs . . . cocaine in such quantities that at one point I thought I was really going insane. The whole atmosphere was really tense, with arguments all the time and people storming in and out. . . . We'd look for sexual release, but even that didn't help much.
The success of Rumours - which earned Fleetwood alone $3 million - led to excess: They became superstars of the highest order. Coke intake increased. (Each performer received a pre-concert allotment in a Heineken bottlecap.)
Band members flew on private planes with six limousines awaiting them at the airport. They required that hotels paint Chris and Stevie's rooms in pastel colors.
By 1984, seven years after the release of Rumours, Fleetwood was broke. The band hadn't played together in two years. His houses had been sold. He was sleeping at friends'. Eight million dollars, gone. Word was he'd put it all up his nose. If that were true, he writes, "I'd have been dead long ago."
"Basically," Fleetwood says, "I don't worry about money. I'm not a penny pincher. So when I went bankrupt it really didn't affect me that much. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, but it didn't affect my personality."
He continues, "I've seen people who have gone broke and they're completely lost. Completely and utterly lost. And that is sad. People half expected me to be looking for the nearest bridge to jump off, or a chair of suitable height to kick away. But that never happened, and I'm glad."
But then Fleetwood has always been a survivor. Early on, the band lost three guitarists. Jeremy Spencer joined the Children of God. Danny Kirwan now lives on the streets, says Fleetwood. And the legendary Peter Green is a disheveled "Howard Hughes type." "John and I sometimes wonder - not really laughing - what have we been doing to these people to cause this to happen?" Fleetwood says.
He goes on. "I feel thankful that I have never ever bottomed out. That's not to say I wasn't lucky that I didn't bottom out, where I actually became ill or found myself ODing in a corner somewhere, thank God. That never, ever, ever happened.
"But I'm well aware of the fact that it just might well have happened. That is a sobering thought."
"Isn't it amazing how we got here," asks John McVie, "considering the people that fell by the wayside? Here we sit. All I've ingested. And those people are there, we're here. It's a bloody miracle."
With Nicks and Christine McVie leaving the group after Dec. 7 (although both say they will record the next album), the band is turning another page in its history. Fleetwood believes it will continue nevertheless. It has to.
"It's very plain and simple: We are musicians and we don't know how to do anything else," says McVie. "We're not going to send away for a computer-programming course from the back of a matchbook. It's too late. So we'll just keep doing it."

Solids are typically measured in grams, milligrams, micrograms and pounds.
1 milligram (mg) is equivalent to 1000 micrograms
1 gram is equivalent to 1000 milligrams (mg)
454 grams are equivalent to 1 pound (lb)
1 ounce typically equals 30 grams
Therefore if you have a prescription calling for 2 ounces of an ointment you will receive a 60 gram tube.
This was so helpful. They didn't teach these things when I was in school.

The Rise of Antichrist
By Mark Ellis
Do you believe he is a real person? Could he be alive today? Some may doubt his existence, but the prophet Daniel, the Apostles Paul and John -- and Jesus Himself -- all taught about the coming of this dynamic, powerful, evil personality who will rule the world at the time of the end.
The Book of Daniel covers a giant sweep of history, from Daniel's era, about 500 years before Jesus, all the way up to and beyond our present time, prophesying about things that will be coming to planet earth in the future, perhaps sooner than we expect.
Most of the events prophesied in Daniel were fulfilled within 300 years after Daniel wrote them. And the prophesies are so dead-on accurate that skeptics can't believe it was really written by Daniel.
They insist somebody else must have written it, years later. But Jesus Himself believed Daniel wrote it, He quoted from Daniel, so the critics will have to take up their case with our Lord.

Almost a year ago I went to Quebec City with a friend of mine. Though I've just recently looked at all the pictures. It was a month full of trips that my pictures piled up. Anyway, Quebec is a lovely city with great architectures and old walled alleys. I love the colorful little shops that sells everything from cheese to handmade accessories and antiques. There's special detail about each shop that gives the whole place a European ambience, Maybe it's the intricate carvings, hanging flowers, vines or colorful chimes.
Walking around the city felt like walking around play houses with its old brick walls, cobblestones and colorful roofs. Chateau Frontenac, a hotel dominates the skyline and is like the focal point of the city. It truly feels far away though it's only about 5 hours drive from New York City.

In the past three decades, the shortage of nurses willing to work in hospitals has been a persistent challenge in the United States. Hiring supplemental registered nurses—nurses on short-term contracts obtained through an external staffing agency—has been common to fill gaps in nurse staffing. But there has been insufficient evidence about supplemental nurse workforce trends to inform workforce policy. To address this concern, we compared qualifications and characteristics of supplemental nurses with those of permanent nurses during 1984–2008.

A man who confessed to robbing three banks, two Hagerstown motels and a convenience store two weeks ago was out of prison at the time because a Washington County judge gave him a break in 1996.
Former Washington County Circuit Court Judge Daniel W. Moylan had reduced from 15 years to five years a state prison sentence Charles Franklin Adams received for robberies he committed here in the early 1990s.
The judge also allowed the sentence to be served concurrently with a 5.5-year federal sentence stemming from a string of six earlier robberies here and elsewhere.
The change in the state sentence, added to time off for good behavior, allowed Adams to be paroled from the Maryland Correctional Training Center near Hagerstown last June.

One of the main reasons I began pursuing movement-based fitness was for the feeling of freedom.
I would spend hours captivated by YouTube videos of kids practicing parkour - sprinting, climbing, crawling, and vaulting through their environment like water. The next day I would go out and practice for hours on end. I'd walk through the neighborhood looking for opportunities to interact with something besides a barbell or a fitness machine.
You see the gym had become a prison for me. A white-collar, $200 per month, all-inclusive prison with pool and steam room. That part wasn't all that bad, not until I stopped growing. That's when the walls started closing in.
It took a while to realize the toll this environment was taking; it was sucking the life out of me. Seemed like everything about the establishment wanted to hold me down and keep me in the box - my managers, my colleagues, the rules, the accepted means of physical training. Maybe you've had a job like that though. Run.
Out the back window you could get a glimpse of freedom. A skate park, a wide open field, and a beautiful playground in the woods. Sunset Park was my oasis in this mad world.
In that park, I learned what freedom of movement means to me. It meant escaping constraints and bad vibes. It meant having fun with my fitness again. It was just doing it just for me. It felt like flying. No coincidence, vaulting is the movement that most closely captures the essence of what I was feeling in these times.
From that taste of freedom, I could better understand the toxicity of that particular gym environment. I was pouring in my efforts and I stopped getting anything back. All my passion and enthusiasm for movement was being squashed. I couldn't see it until I got out of it - that's good old fashioned Midwestern work ethic, for you. I made an important decision that flying was more important than a comfy cage.
With that I peaced the fuck out.
That was years ago. Since then I've floated, floundered, experienced epic highs and deep lows, and learned volumes about myself. My movement practice has been there with me through it all. Each facet means something to me and as you may have guessed, vaulting has a special place reserved in my heart.
So that was a really long introduction to what I wanted to share today, some vaulting practice.
These are mostly variations we teach in MovNat. I love to get into a flow of overs and unders with this rig we have in our gym. I practiced the individual pieces for about 40 minutes before I got into a more improvised flow.
The tripod vault is my standard. It feels safe, works at all speeds, and is versatile to pass over or climb on top.
The split vault is super efficient (lazy) and works well for for these railings.
The side vault and turn vault remind me of hopping over fences as a kid. Pushing through the locked out arm insures that you pass over smoothly.
The front (kong) vault has always intimidated me, fear of face planting. It takes trust to time the jump. Learning where to plant the hands and how to apply force through the arms is key for a clean exit. This one is super badass and worth the time to learn.
Vaulting is on the complex end of the spectrum; there are a lot of moving parts. It's important to break down each movement into a progression of drills to embody the technique. Good coordination and timing is required...that takes a lot of time and a lot of repetition. The mental factor is high; you can quickly psych yourself out and form a block. In that case, sometimes you work through it and sometimes you put it on the shelf for a while. Either scenario is a valuable chance to check your ego.
For me, vaulting is a lesson in working with the fear; using it as a tool to grow. Training through that fearful headspace provides some powerful life lessons. Leaning into that fear we stretch the reach of our comfort zone. That's why I practice.
Find the environments that allow you to thrive. Break down complexity into manageable steps. Approach challenges with a playful mindset. These truly are timeless principles, applied and absorbed through fitness.
Sometimes life feels like a cage, constrained by rules and tradition. Sometime you need to do something new to feel something different. Let your body out of the cage for a while and see what it does for your mind.

Ravens rookie linebacker Antwan Barnes' second ankle injury in two weeks does not appear to be as serious as initially feared.
Barnes was carted off the practice field yesterday after apparently re-injuring the same right ankle that he twisted Aug. 1. But by early evening, Barnes was walking around inside the team hotel and putting weight on the ankle, which was heavily taped.
Barnes, a fourth-round pick in the April draft, went down while attempting to get past rookie offensive lineman Marshal Yanda during a pass-rushing drill on the field farthest from the grandstands at McDaniel College.

A woman driving her two children north on the Turnpike's Northeast Extension in Carbon County crashed her sport utility vehicle in the Tuesday afternoon rain.
Then three tractor-trailers ran into each other as they braked for the SUV, police said.
The woman and two of the truckers were injured, and the overturned SUV and battered trucks kept the Turnpike's northbound lanes closed until 9:55 p.m. One of the truckers was admitted to Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest.
The accidents happened in Franklin Township, between Weissport and Beltzville, just north of the Turnpike's Mahoning Valley Interchange.
Melesia D. Rubio, 28, of Hickory Hills, Ill., was driving with her children, David, 10, and Olivia, 3, about 3:25 p.m. when she lost control of the SUV and crashed into a traffic sign as she crossed the bridge over Route 209 and the Pohopoco Creek, state police at Pocono said.
The SUV rolled onto is roof, blocking both northbound lanes, Trooper Joel P. Rutter said. Melesia Rubio suffered a minor injury. Her children were not hurt.
As one tractor-trailer stopped for the wrecked SUV, a second big rig rear-ended the first truck's trailer, and a third tractor-trailer ran into the rear of the second one, pinning the third driver in his cab.
The first tractor-trailer, driven by Edward Wilson, 46, of Carbondale, had come to a stop in the left lane. The second trucker, Robert Eseltine, 44, of Dexter, N.Y., ran into Wilson's truck, police said. Then the third trucker, Kevin Dykstra, 40, of Ontario, Canada, hit Eseltine's rig, police said.
Dykstra, who was pinned for 35 minutes, suffered moderate injuries in the crash, police said. Eseltine had a minor injury.
Firefighters from Franklin Township, Lehighton and Parryville secured the extensive accident scene, and freed Dykstra from his truck. Dykstra, Eseltine and Rubio were taken to the hospital by Lehighton Ambulance.
Only Dykstra was admitted. He was in stable condition late Tuesday night.
Turnpike traffic backed up five miles as state police, medics and firefighters helped the injured, cleaned up the accident scene and investigated the chain of events.
Northbound traffic was detoured at the Mahoning Valley Interchange and rerouted 21 miles north to the Pocono Interchange.

- Little Mosque on the Prairie
The plot incorporates a lot of tongue-in-cheek humor, making fun of commonly held stereotypes about Muslims in the U.S. post-9/11. At the same time the show inconspicuously reveals a lot about Islam as a religion, from strictly conservative views to the very liberal interpretations. Read more.

why o2 cant be creative?too stupid comes out with same features of the previous one...?let me tell u guys wats ppl really want for a pda phone,basic things you should hav atleast 256k pixel color...so you can hav a nice watching movies on it...cameras should be atleast 3.0pixel above...as nowaday normal hp also have atleast 3.0 pixel cameras,such like nokia n80,sony ericsson k800i...etc
the ram and the rom should be more expended as we might need to download some other software which need huge processor to run it smooth..
3g is also a basic tool for a pda phones,you cant jsut ignore it b'cos less ppl use video's calling....
radio and mp3 feature is also the basic 1 that you have to be...as you did have in the handset,it's a good start...brabo....
last but not least,the handset should able to support more than 4gb external memory expend....even internal memory shouldnt be less than 2gb....
above the basic requirement is based on the demand of true pda user...who is really fully use of a real pda handset...and i'm the one of the real pda user...until now...non of the o2 pda suit me...dont misunderstanding...i did used o2 pda b4...but just not satisfied...
i hope o2 company shoulddo some research on wat really a pda should need and wat satisfies customer...
finally,i would like to say,o2 pda phones is very popular among other pda company,i b'lif it will be the most famous 1 if they can archieve the basic requirement,atleast...as i mentioned above....
thank you
(a guy whose change 4 handphones every years)
I just wondered for those of you using handset for VOIP services , Do you not find the data charges really heavy for streaming voice calls, and allot of networks restrict the use of their data bundles so your unable to use skype etc , anyone had any problems with this
This is an almost perfect the device, the look, the specs (GPS that's what i need), and who needs 3g it's just pounds sucker! Wifi b/g will do the task! Maybe preinstalled skype and 1.800 mAh will just make this thing a bloody perfect.
Sovann, that is a question that others like E-Ten has an answer. Like P%km says, E-Ten offers you another choice!
The newly announced E-Ten X500 will have both integrated WiFi b/g and SiRF Star III GPS along with 400Mhz Samsung processor, bluetooth, FM radio, EDGE, quadband phone, 2Mp camera, and 2.8" inch touchscreen of the M600 and G500 predecessors in a slimmer form factor that includes a 1530mAh battery!
For those interested in skype this is clearly a better choice.
I reckon it is a better performer based on it's ability to take on CDMA perhaps? Not sure here
I am really interested in how well it works with skype, because of its slow processor.
Looking good but why ORBIT has only 200MHz while ATOM EXEC is running 520MHz??!!??
It is very hard to make decision?? Any one can explain this? Please????...
I don't understand how come the O2 Orbit can have a better performance than the exec when it has slower processor and less ROM.
Thank you in advance if someone could explain.
Has anyone compare this model to the new Eten-X500. It has a 400mhz processor, gsm quad band, gps, wifi, FM etc.. sorry no G networking
This phone it is probably one of the best PDA phones I came across.
Some of you ask for a keyboard, I dont think that this is essential as the stylus can do the job. This way the phone is thinner and lighter. Those they say it will be slow, I just wait. Are you going to use the phone the radio and the GPS simultaneously, I dont think so. One disadvantage is that its not 3G but a lot of people they do not require it anyway. Finally the only thing that bothers me, like all PDAs, is the Battery life. Why can they master the Sony Ericsson P990 technology with the Standby time of 400h and Talk time of 9h?

In this illustrated, rhyming children's book, a nearly 13-year-old Jewish girl portrays her family and religious traditions as she readies to join a minyan.
The unnamed girl who narrates this story lives in a town with only one shul (synagogue) that isn't always full, so forming a minyan—a group of 10 adults, required in Judaism to make a quorum for communal worship—can sometimes be difficult. The girl's father goes to the shul every morning with his worn tallis, a prayer shawl, and his tefillin, a set of leather boxes containing scrolls with verses from the Torah. (The book includes a glossary that defines words that may be unfamiliar.) But sometimes there are not quite enough people to form a minyan, so the girl looks forward to joining it when she's old enough in less than a year. The girl explains more about the shul and the prayers, and how her zayde (grandfather) joins the family on Shabbos (the Sabbath day, which starts on Friday night) before going to the shul with her father. When her zayde dies, people gather at the house, making another minyan for prayers. One morning, the girl's father announces that it's time for her to join. She protests she's too young, but " 'Your Hebrew birthday,' he said with a smile, / 'began at sundown—it's been here awhile!' " Her father allays her anxieties and gives her zayde's tallis and tefillin. At last, "Papa smiled proudly—he teared up again. / Then, grinning, he told me, 'Today, you make ten.' " Kline (Josiah's Dreams, 2014) portrays the girl's coming-of-age and her being counted among her shul's adults with great warmth, and also highlights her closeness to beloved Papa. The girl's mother plays almost no role in the story, which is a little puzzling, but the shul looks joyful, with Simon's (No Rules for Michael, 2003, etc.) illustrations showing a kind, friendly, welcoming community with the people drawn in comfortably rounded shapes; in appearance, they appear to come from diverse Ashkenazi and Sephardic backgrounds. However, the highlights on the girl's dark hair make it look gray and elderly, which may be confusing. Also, the usual young audience for a picture book doesn't seem best suited for a tween's story.
A warmhearted introduction to coming-of-age in a worship community.

Double sketch post update! This first one comes by request from my brother Tyler. It's the monster we're affectionately calling "Swampy" as a Tusdan Raider! (Star Wars)
This second one comes by request from the great Chris Watkins. Chris made an either/or request and Dave chose to go with Wolf as a Totoro. Is that right? I've got no idea what a totoro (Totoro?) is, but Dave did so here you go, Chris! This does make me laugh.
Use the comments field below to get your sketch request in and Dave will get to it asap! Dave is looking to do up sketches of the MONSTERPLEX characters in whatever form you see fit. Have a comic? Dave could do the MP characters dressed up like them! Please, no nudity or anything otherwise inappropriate.
We're also looking for fan art. Send 'em along to bwhheasley (at) gmail (dot) com and we'll post it along with a link to your comic or site. Have fun!
More later.

Our Action Plan identifies projects that will contribute to reducing the neighbourhood's carbon footprint
Building people's skills by classes and workshops in gardening, DIY energy saving, cycle maintenance, etc
- Encourage schools best environmental practice, reducing schools' CO2 emissions from energy and water use, transport, procurement of goods and services. We will work with the local 'extended schools cluster' to achieve this.
- An Environmental theme to the Balsall Heath Carnival 2010, a showcase of local good practice, with a focus on the visual, musical and performing arts to raise awareness
- An awareness raising campaign targeted at different age groups, that will build people's confidence to take action, using stalls at events, articles in the community magazine "The Balsall Heathan"
- Produce and sell re-usable shopping bags, from a sustainable material (jute), with our logo, so reducing CO2 emissions by replacing plastic bags and encouraging people to shop locally, instead of driving to other parts of the city
- A community food growing project, to encourage people to grow food, and share skills and experiences, reducing food miles. This project will have a multicultural theme emphasising how food that can be grown locally is usable in the different world cuisines that are represented in our community
- Training of unemployed people to install solar water and solar electric panels – already underway at Jericho Foundation.
- A solar energy programme in the Balti triangle. Balti restaurants are high users of hot water, so installing solar thermal systems will save substantial amounts of CO2 and increase the competitiveness of these businesses.
- Recycling waste cooking oil into biodiesel, to power vehicles or heat buildings displacing fossil fuels
- Composters for food waste and garden waste,
Water butts to store rian and prevent flooding, allowing for palnts to be watered
Maintaining and extending the 'walking bus' approach to discouraging parents from taking children to local primary schools by car.
- Supporting the proposal to install a combined heat and power/district heating system to include Moseley Rd Baths, Edward Rd Health Centre, Moseley Rd Methodist Church (a feasibility study has been completed for this).
- Balsall Heath Railway station re-open to passenger services between Moor Street station and Kings Norton.
- Promotion of cycling as a form of local low carbon transport
- Spend your 3% We would like 3% of Balsall Heath's 'GDP' to be spent on tackling climate change, in line with the recommendations of the Stern Report. It is a campaign to encourage residents, organisations and businesses to spend 3% of their income/turnover on tackling climate change.
- This links to a goal of reducing our carbon emissions by 10% in 2010 – in line with the national and international 10:10 campaign
Second hand goods shop to give unwanted items a second life
Waste wood recycling project
Tree Planting to provide shade and fix carbon from the air.

Quickie today. I never worked on a draft of this entry while I was at work this morning, and I went out for lunch. So what to say about last night? Not much. We watched a great episode of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, then two excellent episodes of the recently-released fifth season of Orange Is the New Black. I think they made a smart decision with this very different scenario they're playing out, shaking things up a bit.
That took up the bulk of the evening after Shobhit got home from work, though. We didn't even have time to do the crossword puzzle together, because I wanted to watch Orange Is the New Black instead. By the time the second episode was done, it was time for me to start getting ready for bed.
I just had lunch with Karen down at Six-Seven at the Edgewater Hotel. She forgot to text me when she left and instead texted me when she arrived. But since I had my bike with me today, I decided to bike down there, cutting my usual ten-ish minute walk there down to about half that time. Sometimes having a bike handy is very, very convenient.
It was very busy and crowded again, though, so once again we sat in the bar. We theorized it could be crowded with early-summer cruise ship passengers, come to stay a night or two before setting sail. We didn't deal with any of this last summer, but then, it was late summer by the time we starting having lunches at this place every time. Maybe the crowds will die down by September. Sitting in the bar does work out fine, but it occurs to me now that I might still look into making reservations for next time, so we can actually have a real table again.
We had a lovely visit as always. But now I need to get back to work!

A photographer whose otherwise amazing girlfriend is averse to having her picture taken is a cruel twist of fate. I won't give up trying, however.
Nonetheless, I have to find creative ways to include her in my photos as we explore and travel together. She likes this one, thankfully.

Between the trials and tribulations, the deaths and the demons, it feels like everyone's favorite hunters are not down for the count quite yet. But with their striking good looks and the tragic hero complex the duo shares, it's a wonder how they have survived this long — with said looks still in tact.
RELATED: The Trickster moves behind the camera for some 'Supernatural' mischief
Yes, this is fiction. And yes, this is fiction in the form of a CW TV series, but our two heroes have been through the wringer more regularly than Donald Trump talks about how rich he is.
So, after watching every episode in the series, let's take a minute and break down five of the reasons why Sam and Dean Winchester wouldn't survive in real life.
Alcoholics, Not So Anonymous
Look, if it's one thing that is pretty obvious on the show, it's that Dean loves his vices. Whether they be the alcoholic variety (beer, whiskey, whatever you've got on tap) or illicit substances (there's been references to weed and LSD throughout the series), the more fun of the two brothers definitely has his way of coping with the realities around him.
And while we're referring to a show that deals quite regularly with supernatural — for lack of a better word — elements, it's hard to believe Dean's pretty boy looks and physique would remain as intact as it has. Suspension of disbelief is strong here!
Psychological Trauma In Spades
While it's worth pointing out repeatedly that "Supernatural" is a work of fiction following two hunky boys who solve monster-of-the-week mysteries each week, let's try and stick with reality as best we can. And while addiction is definitely Dean's main struggle in life (the Darkness and the Mark of Cain, not withstanding), let's turn our attention to the moose himself, Sam Winchester.
He's the more brooding of the two brothers and likes to keep his emotional issues bottled up inside, but there's something to be said for a guy who was banished to Hell and kept in a cage along with Satan. Whether it's reality or make-believe, that sort of stuff really has to take its toll on a person. It's a wonder that Sam Winchester isn't flat out, run through the streets naked, batsh**t insane at this point!
Oh, and having one's face on fire also has got to suck pretty bad.
A Glutton for Punishment
Yes, back to Dean and his addictive personality. It's pretty safe to say that continual drug use can harm one's mind and body, leaving lasting effects that will leave their inner and outer self quite damaged. But let's also not forget this Winchester brother's penchant for eating fast food.
Burgers and beer, steak and whiskey. There have been few exceptions where Dean has dropped the junk food for a healthier option but, in terms of believability … these dudes would not be as pleasing to the eye if a steady diet of red meats and brews were consumed on the regular.
Never A Good Night's Sleep
These two hunters are well known throughout heaven and that other place as a force to be reckoned with. But between the psychological trauma, the grief, the daddy issues, the horrible diets, the constant fighting, and the knowledge that monsters exist, one very important thing that must be had by both men tends to be consistently lacking throughout the series: a good night's sleep.
Sure, the Winchesters have proven their mettle and constitution in battles against everything from vampires and werewolves to shape-shifters, demons, angels, and even each other. But at the end of the day, after the burgers and the fighting and whatever other kooky things the guys get themselves into, a decent night of rest should be what is hunted for.
11 Seasons and the majority of the time they spend are either in weird motels or that sweet Impala. But no matter how lovely Dean's baby is, it doesn't beat the simple mental and physical comforts of a bed.
Hellooo, Looney Bin
What it comes down to is this: if Sam and Dean Winchester existed in real life and all the TV show's baggage came with them, it's pretty obvious these two heroes would be locked up straight away. I mean, there's only so much talk about hunting demons, fighting monsters, and befriending angels one can take before being tossed into a padded cell.
Not to mention the claims of time spent in Purgatory and the number of instances both men have died, allegedly been possessed, battled ghosts, and impersonated classic rock musicians.
RELATED: 'Supernatural' writes a love letter to the Impala with 'Baby'
Thankfully for us all, Sam and Dean Winchester continue to kick butt on-screen and no matter how damaged and flawed the brothers are … they give the rest of us junk food loving slackers someone to look up to. Plus, that Dean sure is dreamy.

News TV | Written by Andrew Pollard 27/05/2016
New MEGA MAN Cartoon Arriving Next Year
With Mega Man's thirtieth anniversary taking place next year, it's been announced that a new animated series is on the way for one of video games' most beloved figures.
DHX Media Ltd and Dentsu Entertainment USA have announced that they're developing the new series, with the aim being to target a new generation of Mega Man fans. To do that, the series will give audiences a new spin on the property by introducing Mega Man's Aki Light, "a normal, upbeat schoolboy robot. When attached, his skin re-forms – in a flurry of computer code and visual pyrotechnics – into a suit of impenetrable nanocore amor, including the iconic Mega Buster arm cannon and helmet."
On this news, DHX's Asaph Fipke said, "We're very excited to be working with Dentsu on Mega Man. This is yet another deal born of our strategy of teaming up with leading companies on high-profile kids' brands that we can leverage across our platform of production, distribution, licensing and broadcast. We see this as an excellent opportunity to build on the rich legacy of the Mega Man video game series and introduce the famous boy robot to a whole new generation of kids worldwide."
Dentsu's Yuchi Kinoshita said, "Mega Man has a rare, nearly three-decade-long tradition with fans. We are excited to work with DHX to bring this newly imagined version of a long-beloved character back to the global marketplace."
Man of Action Entertainment are also on board with this new series, with them serving as executive producers. To give you an idea of what to expect, Man of Action created Ben 10, Generator Rex and even put together the Big Hero 6 characters as well as writing and producing Ultimate Spider-Man and Marvel's Avengers Assemble.
As mentioned, the current plan is for this new series to arrive next year.SHARE YOUR COMMENTS BELOW OR ON TWITTER @STARBURST_MAG

Echo Restaurant
2225 NE M L King Blvd
(503) 460-3246
get there via trimet
find a bike route
Let's start with the restaurant itself: with brick walls and an insanely high ceiling, a beautiful wood bar, and some nice wood accents. Wood booths line the floor to ceiling windows. The atmosphere is cozy. The outside eating area is in a space between two buildings, with bamboo at the end that faces MLK, heaters, and homemade lanterns and a fountain. It manages to be shady and breezy and thoroughly pleasant.
When we went for brunch, there were two folks working the front of the house: the bartender, and a waiter. This was fine initially, but as the patrons started streaming in, they were in the weeds.
The menu is varied and inexpensive: biscuits and gravy, french toast, pancakes, eggs & meat, frittata, as well as small plates, salads and sandwiches, most in the $5.50-$8 range. Some of these things seemed to be different just to be different, like the french toast, made from zucchini-carrot bread in an orange juice-rum batter. We ordered a cup of coffee (a bad idea: stick with espresso or alcohol), the dos heuvos (2 eggs, bacon, potatoes or grits and biscuit or bagel) with grits and biscuit, and the frittata with salad.
While we waited for food, the staff kept our coffee and water glasses full. The water carafes have slices of cucumber floating in the water—nice.
About a half hour later, out came the food. The frittata was overdone, browned, on the outside, and too thin. The crab filling tasted fishy, and the hollandaise that topped it was gelatinous and had a muddy flavor. The accompanying salad was almost dry, with very little sign of a dressing, nonetheless balsalmic vinagrette.
The dos heuvos were good, cooked to order, though the biscuit was drier than dry and didn't really taste like anything. I opted for grits, which were made with a white sharp cheddar and thyme: my dining partner thought they tasted weird, but for me, they were the highlight of the meal, and some of the best grits I've had in Portland.
In the end, I think the recommendation that I've heard for dinner at Echo also applies to brunch: keep it simple and you're likely to be happy.

Lahore: Conceding that Indian soldiers were sitting at higher ground, Pakistan Defence Minister Chaudhry Ahmad Mukhtar has said that the military standoff between the two countries on the Siachen glacier cannot be resolved under the current circumstances.
"Under the current circumstances, it is difficult to solve the Siachen issue. India is sitting at a high altitude and it considers that it is in a better position," he said while talking to reporters in the capital of Punjab province.
Pakistan cannot withdraw from Siachen unilaterally, he said yesterday.
"If we pull out, the families of martyrs will raise questions," he said.
An avalanche hit a high-altitude Pakistan Army camp in the Siachen sector on April 7, burying 139 people under dozens of feet of snow.
Search teams are yet to find any trace of the buried men.
There have been calls from mainstream political parties to find a solution to the Siachen issue in the wake of the avalanche.
During recent visits to the site of the disaster, Pakistan Army chief Gen Ashfaq Parvez Kayani said all issues between the two countries, including Siachen, should be resolved to ensure "peaceful co-existence" which would allow them to focus on development.
However, Kayani also contended that India had hardened its position on the Siachen issue, especially compared to the situation in 1989, when the two sides were "close to a resolution".

Members of GMB, Unite and Usdaw continue their rolling strikes over pensions
Unilever workers fighting to defend their pension scheme today enter the third of ten days rolling strike action.
Members of GMB, Unite and Usdaw will be on picket lines at Purfleet in Essex, Trafford Park in Manchester, Port Sunlight on Merseyside and Seacroft in Leeds. The production of Hellmann's mayonnaise, I can't believe it's not butter, Flora, PG Tips tea, Fabric, Comfort, Persil, Dove Deodorant, Lynx and Sure will be affected.
As news spreads of Unilever's dirty treatment of its workforce, hundreds of messages of support are flooding in for strikers from across the globe.
The company's changes will not affect management pensions but will cut workers' savings by between 20 and 40 percent; one worker estimates that she will be worse off by £7,000 a year when she retires if Unilever pushes ahead with plans to ditch their final salary pension scheme.
Unite national officer Jennie Formby said: "The solid support for this strike is a clear message to Unilever that our members are not prepared to be treated like dirt.
"Unilever's wall of silence is making them angrier by the day and if anything more determined to continue their fight back – not just with further strike but by escalating our campaign of demonstrations.
"It is now our second day of this eleven-day strike action and workers, with strong public support and messages of solidarity coming in daily, are standing firm and will not be bullied into accepting these changes.
"We are ready and willing to meet with Unilever to discuss solutions to the dispute."
Unite released a film 'Unilever – not as clean as it claims', revealing the truth behind the 'dirty' tactics being used to undermine the pensions of the workforce.
The film can be viewed on the Unite website www.unitetheunion.org or on YouTube:
Unite is urging viewers to send a simple message to CEO Paul Polman, which is: "It is time for you to talk."

When Silence Screams
Living with Bipolar Disorder—Journals 1997 - 2011
This much-needed voice provides a raw, real look at life with bipolar disorder.
When Silence Screams: Living With Bipolar Disorder; Journals 1997–2011, by Katherine L. Fogg, gives an inside view of a life of instability and anxiety. Naturally, as a journal, the book displays a full range of emotions, especially the extremes, but Fogg's urgency ties them all together—urgency to find her identity and feel whole and accepted.
Fogg's journal begins when she's a teen—full of typical teen enthusiasm and angst. But even from the start, Fogg demonstrates a mature self-awareness and world-weary regret that shows her story is not simply typical: "I have never been good at keeping journals, or relationships of any kind. Sometimes I wish I hadn't destroyed all my other journals. It would be interesting to read them now." By the time she's diagnosed as having bipolar disorder, anxiety, and social phobia at age thirty, her story has traversed an array of places and emotions, including the pain and delusion of substance abuse.
The most compelling elements of the book are Fogg's generous self-disclosure and highly relatable themes—even those not affected by bipolar disorder can empathize with isolation and the desire to make sense of the self. The entries vary in length, and some of the most powerful are the short, pithy statements where Fogg is able to succinctly boil down what's happening without deliberation or dissection: for example, "My head feels full of clouds … thunderous clouds." She also gives voice to the mixed nature of life—bad times can feel good and good times can be difficult; this is particularly evident as she explores the hope and exhaustion of recovery: "Life is beginning to feel more real. I'm not sure I enjoy the sensation." While the writing does the bulk of the disclosure, the snapshots in the center of the book give a surprising, visceral sense of how Fogg has seen herself (and sought to present that identity) over the years.
As a journal, the pace of the book varies considerably. Events like the death of a friend yield seasons of more writing, and other years pass by rather quickly. In the book, as is often true in life, the downward spiral can feel like it's dragging but positive change happens seemingly quickly—though, of course, looking back, it's a long time in the making. The tone of the entries is directly tied to the author's mood and thoughts at a given time, and the diction and syntax are easy to read but casual. While all of this is expected and acceptable in a journal, it does make the reading experience a bit more laborious.
The book speaks to others in similar situations, urging them to find help and know they're not alone. It is also a needed voice for those whose loved ones are struggling with mental illness. While it may be painful for these loved ones to read, Fogg's story helps them understand what daily life is like for those living with bipolar disorder.
When Silence Screams is a raw, real look at life with bipolar disorder.

Hi, Everybody:
I will be gone the next couple of weeks, which means this email blast will have to last you until I'm back. So don't immediately send it to the trash can as usual, but save it for the valuable information (and inherent literary value) that it contains. Also, I will be out of the office, so please call before coming to the church to make sure someone is here to help you (Pastor Tim is often out visiting people, running errands, or doing church yardwork). I will be back the Tuesday after Labor Day.
This Sunday, August 20th, is the 11th Sunday after Pentecost and Fill the Food Barrel Sunday. And, of course, we'll be having our highly-anticipated Hawaiian-themed service and Lu-Wow! potluck. Dress up in your most outrageous tropical clothing and, if you wish, bring a side, salad or dessert. Now, before you complain about the picture of a suckling pig on the bulletin cover this Sunday, I'll have you know that it is actually a photo of a pig-shaped cake I got off the internet. No animals were harmed in the production of the bulletin cover! (I can't say the same about the potluck food, though) A Worship Committee Meeting will take place at 12:30 pm, when we are all overstuffed and sleepy from the LuWow. There is also going to be a Welcome Statement Straw Poll this Sunday. This unofficial poll is recommended by the RIC process, and is only to gauge how we're doing before the real vote next week. Which leads us to…
the Special Congregational Meeting on Sunday, August 27th after the service. We will be voting on whether or not to adopt the Welcoming Statement crafted by the RIC Committee, with changes made according to some of your suggestions (thank you!). Here is the revised version:
"We extend a heartfelt embrace to all who are seeking God's love and grace. We welcome all because God welcomes all, regardless of race or culture, Deaf or hearing, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or relationship status. We welcome all without regard to addictions, physical or mental health, varying intellects and abilities, imprisonment, socio-economic circumstances, or anything that too often divides us. We invite you, wherever you are in your faith journey, to join us in caring, sharing, and serving God through our unity in Christ. Welcome."
Believe it or not, this is still shorter than most of the RIC-compliant Welcome Statements out there! Remember, this statement is meant to help people find us and show the world what an open and welcoming church we already are! (I'm sorry, did that influence you? Good! I'm not going to be here to vote!)
There are a couple of handouts Pastor Tim has made available on the Media Table which you should be aware of. One is a particularly heartfelt Message from Bishop Mark W. Holmerud in response to the events in Charlottesville and hate groups in general. The other is the ELCA Social Statement on Race, Ethnicity, and Culture. Adopted in 1993, this document shows just where the ELCA officially stands as a church on these issues.
Next Friday, August 25th is the fourth Friday of the month, which means it will be time for Family Movie Night! Join us at 6:30 PM in the Activity Room for food, friends, and a fun film.
Saturday, September 9th from 9 am to 12 pm will be a Church Work Day (3 hours makes a day?). Help prepare Holland Hall for Sunday School and spruce up the rest of the church campus. The camaraderie and snacks make it hardly seem like work at all! If you absolutely can't make it, don't worry – there will be a list of projects you can work on at a more convenient time (you'll have to provide your own snacks and camaraderie).
Sunday September 10th is Rally Day, when we go back to two services at 8:45 am (21st Century Traditional) and 11 am (Service of Living Praise). Sunday School (10 am) and Adult Forum (10:15 am) also start up again that day. And depending on how the vote goes, we may also be celebrating becoming an RIC church! Parenting Forum (10:15 am) will begin on the 17th, the following week.
In the spirit of cooperation (cross-advertising?) between the local ELCA churches, I'm letting you know that everybody is invited to a Community BBQ tomorrow (Sat. Aug. 18) at Good Shephard, 4221 Carol Ave, Fremont. Now don't "pig out" too much (Ha!) before the LuWow the next day!
See you in church!
Keith Hillesland

$100 for Burke members, $120 for general public
Six FREE clock-hour credits available for teachers*
Few cities have changed as much as Seattle. Its citizens have cut down hills, filled in tideflats, replumbed waterways and lakes, and in the process created a surprisingly unnatural landscape that affects us every day. This four part lecture series will highlight the history of these unprecedented engineering projects, how and why they occurred, and the effect they have had on us and the environment.
Author and Burke Museum Educator David B. Williams will use artifacts in the Burke's collection, stunning archival photography, and clues in the world around us to explore these remarkable changes.
For registration or questions regarding the class, please contact Carl Sander at email@example.com or 206.616.6473.
This class is based on David Williams recently published Too High and Too Steep: Reshaping Seattle's Topography. He is also the author of the books The Seattle Street-Smart Naturalist and Stories in Stone, and organizes the Burke Museum's highly successful annual Environmental Writers Workshop.
*Must sign up for clock-hour credits prior to start of class and attend all classes to receive credits.
