Diabetes is a chronic, progressive disease but people with diabetes can live long, healthy lives with good diabetes management. This includes managing not only blood glucose (glycaemia) but also risk factors for complications such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol. These can be managed with a healthy diet, regular physical activity and the correct use of medication as prescribed by a health provider. People with diabetes require access to regular and organised healthcare delivered by a team of skilled providers.
A healthy diet for people with diabetes includes reducing the amount of calories in people who are overweight, replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats, eating dietary fibre, and avoiding tobacco use, excessive alcohol and added sugar.
Physical activity is most effective when it includes a combination of both aerobic (eg. jogging, swimming, cycling) exercise and resistance training, as well as reducing the amount of time spent being inactive.
For people with type 1 diabetes, an uninterrupted supply of high quality insulin is essential for survival. Regular short-acting and long-acting insulins should be available to everyone in all parts of the world. Unfortunately this is not the case in many countries.
The full provision and availability of injection and monitoring equipment is even lower and the cost of blood glucose supplies often exceeds the cost of insulin, especially in some of the poorest countries.
The latest research from the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), which questioned 7,000 people about diabetes in seven countries, found that half of people living with diabetes (51%) felt their diagnosis had put a strain on their family. Two in five (43%) said they had felt anxious when they were diagnosed and a similar number (46%) did not want to be a burden to their families.
Concerns over a family member's quality of life are often made worse by financial pressures and access to treatment when diabetes is diagnosed – especially in developing countries. Almost 100 years since insulin was first used to treat type 1 diabetes, many continue to have difficulty accessing affordable and regular diabetes medication and care.
Families have a significant role to play in supporting loved ones with diabetes, but they need help on how best to cope with the financial and emotional pressures that a diabetes diagnosis can bring. Diabetes is one of the leading causes of blindness, heart attack, kidney failure and limb loss, so when a family member is diagnosed it can be a very frightening time. It is therefore vital that healthcare providers and governments increase their efforts to ensure better access to treatment and education for all families affected.
Globally, only one in four families currently have access to diabetes education programmes.

Sony has officially cut the price of the PlayStation TV to £45 down from the original £84.99.
Under six months after the PS TV launch in the UK, Sony has officially cut the price of the set-top box.
You can now pick up the PS TV for just £44.99 in the UK, down £40 from its original £84.99 RRP when it launched in November 2014.
"By bringing new innovation into the home, you can have the freedom to play whenever and in which room you wish. PS TV has never been more accessible, and there has truly never been a better time to expand your PlayStation experience."
Related: What is PS TV? Everything you need to know
The PS TV lets you use Remote Play to stream PS4 games from your console to your PS TV over a home Wi-Fi network. The idea is that you can play PS4 on another screen in the house if your living room is taken.
You can also play select PS Vita titles on the PS TV, but only those that don't require the use of the Vita's touchscreen or touch pad.
You'll need a DualShock 3 or DualShock 4 controller to actually use it though, and you can forget about getting one bundled in for that £45 price point.
When we reviewed the PS TV we found it to be a very disappointing product:
"We are not really sure who the PS TV is meant to be for. It's not a fully fledged streaming set top box to rival Apple TV or Kindle Fire TV and the Remote Play is not really up to scratch. If you own a PS Vita, the Remote Play experience is more reliable on Sony's handheld and looks much better on a smaller screen. Even if you own a PS4 and want to have this set up in another room, how much of hassle is it really to move your console to another room these days?"

Inafune isn't going to the Nordic Game conference after all/
Blame the pigs! Just kidding. The Nordic Game conference has confirmed that Inafune can't attend due to Capcom's rules concerning foreign travel during the H1N1 epidemic/pandemic. While it's a regrettable development and is quite disappointing for fans of his franchises, know that he's currently being replaced by Team 17's Martyn Brown (of no relation to Capcom). This does beg the question: If the H1N1 flu remains as serious as it currently is, does this bode badly for Capcom and other foreign developers who will attend E3? Hopefully not.
Update: After asking Capcom Unity's Twitter page, there's a possibility that the Japanese staff won't be present at E3. While this is still uncertain, you can bet that Capcom of America's staff will be there to pick up any slack.

Fighting Lou Gehrig's Disease
In recognition of the vitally important work of family caregivers, this month The ALS Association puts the spotlight on the millions of people in the United States who fill this role each year. These are the family and friends on the front lines, often handling direct care, health services coordination, doctor visits, household management and much more for loved ones who would otherwise be without crucial support.
Caregivers encounter many challenges in dealing with ALS, some of which include the new experience of providing assistance to those developing physical limitations affecting mobility, swallowing, speaking and breathing. An ALS diagnosis impacts every aspect of caregivers' lives as they adjust their efforts to meet ongoing work, family, personal and financial obligations, which change as this disease progresses.To support caregivers, we offer helpful resources on our website. Additionally, this month there will be an ALS Association-hosted webinar on November 17 about the benefits of professional home health care.
We will also offer individuals the opportunity to thank a caregiver through an online e-card. People can create customized messages to send via email to the caregiver in their lives who has chosen to fill this vital role. For each e-card sent, Permobil, the world's leading manufacturer of power wheelchairs, will donate $100 with a $25,000 maximum donation.So please join us this month in celebrating those who are dedicated to caring for people living with this disease.Thank you for all you do for those with ALS!
Very best regards,

Boulevard Trees and Other Street Safety Measures
Our Suggestions for Sight Distance Triangle and More
Boulevard trees are in trouble, and not just from old age and bugs. City staff and consultants have suggested changes in city ordinances and the way those are enforced that would seriously limit planting or replacing boulevard trees. They say the issue is safety. However, the accident data say, not so clear. You can read about it in our proposal for a study of trees and accidents.
Nothing came of the study proposal but last November, after the election, the City Commission was given a draft ordinance that covered all sorts of tree planting issues. The changes were drafted hurriedly, with no time for public input. Even so, the Board felt there were constructive changes in the draft ordinance and that we should respond. We came up with a list of suggestions that, if taken as a package, would have room for both trees and safety.
That package of suggestions on ordinances, standards, and practices was submitted to the City Commission early in April 2018. (You can link to it here.) Now we wait for the City Commission to decide what priority it wants to set on this. Stay tuned. We've been through this before, back in the mid-90s, when the sight distance triangle ordinance was up for major revision. Growing Friends was involved then, too, and that came out well enough.

I was lucky enough to see Heathers in the theater, although I didn't quite know what I was in for at the time. It's hard to imagine a film like this getting made in the post-Columbine world, although they did turn it into a mildly entertaining musical. While many of the locations have been found and visited by fans, I have a couple new ones I was able to track down.
First up is Veronica's house. While we don't see the outside of the house until later in the film, I'll post these pictures first. Thanks to a hint on the 80sRewind website, I was able to track the house down at 13544 Lucca Drive in Pacific Palisades, California.
Most of the backyard scenes and some living room scenes were actually shot at this location as well. The pictures used below for reference are from various websites when the the house was for sale.
Time for school! Many of the exteriors were shot at John Adams Middle School, located at 2425 16th Street in Santa Monica, California. The lunchtime poll occurs at the back of the school in the parking lot.
Heather Chandler's funeral is at the Church of the Angels at 1100 Avenue 64 in Pasadena, California. It has been used in many productions and definitely worth the visit.
One of my favorite moments is Heather McNamara rinsing her hands in the holy water.
Veronica and Heather walk out of the church to plan their night. (I haven't gone to the cow-tipping location yet, but it is at Griffith Park.)
...with the two jocks who have a run in with the nerds.
They chase them and tackle one of the nerds on the front lawn of the church.
One of the nerds is tackled and held down in front of the statue.
The Snappy Snack Shack was a bit tough to find. Obviously the name was made up for the movie and I was guessing they really wanted it to be a 7-11. The only clue I had to go on was a partial glimpse of the sign where I could see a couple bands of color that I recognized as an AM/PM convenience store. With that knowledge, I was able to find the correct one at 5158 Laurel Canyon Boulevard in the Valley Village area of Los Angeles.
"BQ or Plain?" "BQ!!"
After courting Veronica with a cherry slushee, they walk outside and continue to talk. "I don't really like my friends."
Remmington University is actually one of other schools they shot at, including some of the hallways and other interiors. This scene was shot at Bridges Academy at 3921 Laurel Canyon Boulevard in Studio City, California.
"Transfer to Washington. Transfer to Jefferson. No one at Westerberg's going let you play their reindeer games."
After killing the two jocks, Veronica and Ram arrive and school and have a big fight in their car. Once again we are at the Santa Monica school in the back parking lot.
Heather and Heather arrive at school and find out that school is canceled because Curt and Ram killed themselves in a repressed homosexual suicide pact.
"I love my dead gay son."
Martha Dumptruck attempts to kill herself by walking into traffic. We are back at the Santa Monica school on the Pearl Street side by the auditorium.
"No, it's not Heather.... no... it's Madonna. Geez, no, not that"
When Heather is ready to become the new sheriff in Town, JD has her working on a petition at the school. The first shot is in front of the auditorium at the Santa Monica school, while the other shot is at Bridges Academy.
For the nightmare sequence we return to the church in Pasadena.
"My afterlife is so boring. If I have to sing kumbaya one more time..."
For the finale, we return to John Adams Middle School. This parking lot is now mostly a playground, located near the back of the school.
We get a good shot of the auditorium and steps that will be the centerpiece for the finale. Also at John Adams Middle School, on the Pearl Street side.
After a fight in the boiler room, Veronica emerges from the auditorium...
JD prepares to blow himself up while Veronica prepares to smoke...
How can you not recreate this moment at this location!
Cigarette lit, Veronica walks back into the school. (I had to recreate this shot as well of course.)
I was fortunate to meet Glenn Shadix before he passed. He has my favorite line in the film: "I blame not Heather, but rather a society that tells its youth that the answers can be found in the MTV video games."
Also had the pleasure to meet an actual Heather, Shannen Doherty!

Hot new screens featuring the full fleet of Farming Simulator 2013 vehicles are burning up the internet.
Farming Simulator 2013 absolutely crushed Gamescom this summer, but its not letting up for a second - this game is plowing the internet like a Case IH Magnum 340 driven by a responsible man of serious intent! Just look at these awesome machines: ruby red, gleaming green, dignified gray and even splashes of suspiciously iconoclastic yellow as far as the eye can see! Or at least, within the confines of the virtual parking lot.
And we're not talking about just run-of-the-mill John Deere stuff here, either. This game has Deutz-Fahr. It has Horsch. It has Amazone. It has Lamborghini! And yes, Lamborghini makes tractors; I googled it, just to be sure.
Farming Simulator 2013 will feature over 100 authentic, meticulously detailed tractors, harvesters and other tools of the trade from more than 20 officially-licensed and world-famous brands. And with full online and LAN multiplayer support, you can even grab a couple of these roaring beauties and play chicken with your friends!* That's farming, baby!
Farming Simulator 2013 comes out in October for the Xbox 360 and PC, while the PlayStation 3 version is expected to launch in early 2013. To learn more about the most exciting farming simulator ever created, check out farming-simulator.com.
(*You probably can't actually play online tractor chicken with this thing, but it would be pretty cool if you could.)

When you apprehend about the after-effects of a new abstraction or analysis project, do you yield it as a accurate actuality that is indisputable? Or, do you yield it in with some amount of skepticism. Because I am absorbed in wine I adore account analysis about allowances of wine. But, now I apprehend not all analysis is created equal; there seems to be ambiguous motives to customer advancing research. Based aloft peoples adventures they are a lot of acceptable to appraise or be judgmental about analysis allegation in areas in which they acquire some knowledge. Often, allegation from analysis acquisition their way into artefact claims-will abate wrinkles, advance your joints, etc. The a lot of all-over industry for authoritative claims is in claimed care/cosmetics. Claims that can be abstract and/or are based on apparent studies, are a lot of common.
It is harder to aces up a cardboard or appearance the after-effects of some abstraction appear on TV afterwards seeing proclamations of some abstruse abstraction findings; some new, others abrogating and some action achievement for a bigger product. The questions that begs allurement therefore: Is all analysis and appear allegation to be taken as fact? Are there biases in research? Is all analysis based aloft accurate protocol? To add angle to these questions we charge to admit that every absorption accumulation uses research/studies/findings/hypothetical after-effects to advance an calendar or cause. This is accurate in politics, government, healthcare, conservation, environmental, farming, business-where there is something to be acquired there will be a abstraction launched with after-effects to absolve something.
Obviously, a analysis or abstraction action has the aftereffect of proving or disproving something-beneficial or not. It is important to note, not all analysis is scientific.
I do not wish to belabor the point that not all analysis allegation are admonition you wish to abject your action on or that are intrinsically harmful; sometimes allegation are just fun to apprehend about as entertainment. Let me accord some examples. Abounding years ago, I absitively to get into the anti-aging online writing business, I accustomed some artefact concepts and objectives as to how these online writing were to admonition consumers. I started out searching at capacity that were advertised in the trades as accomplishing some of the objectives for anniversary product. I capital to see the analysis on these ingredients. That was if I apparent the analysis was all conducted by the companies affairs the ingredient. Bottom-line, the analysis was not absolute and none were apart controlled studies. Artefact benefits, whether vitamins or claimed care, acquire allegation that are not solid.
How generally acquire we fabricated a affairs change based on affairs advancing analysis accomplished by a accumulation with an unreported agenda? For example, 20 years ago there was a abundant accord of admonition in the media from medical groups that said consumers should not alcohol added than 2 cups of coffee per day. Now doctors are adage coffee is a abundant anti-oxidant and consumers should alcohol all the coffee they want, if for no added acumen than it has bloom benefits. What changed?
Another quick example, afterwards bubbler orange abstract daily, doctors are now cogent adults to cut down on orange abstract burning because it can could could could cause increases in diabetes.
Also, consumers acquire been told to change oil in automobiles every 3,000 miles. Now, due to improvements in oil additives, some in the attention association says we should alone change oil every 5,000 miles; all based aloft analysis findings. Whose research, I ask?
So, why are a lot of appear analysis allegation false? This is a question, presented and answered by John P. A. Ioannidis of Stanford University. Here are his explanations.
· Small analysis field. Conversely, beyond analysis samples are added expensive.
· Relationships aural a accumulation accomplishing the research.
· Too abundant adaptability in designing and defining test/research/studies.
· If there are banking and claimed biases complex in allotment or administering a study.
· If there are too abounding teams demography alone apparatus of a study.
· Lack of acceptance of studies.
"It can be accurate that a lot of claimed analysis allegation are false,", says Dr. Ioannidis in PLOS, a Peer-Reviewed Journal.
This altercation about research/findings has been absorbing to me because I address a lot about wine and the amusement of wine. I aswell like the history of wine and what makes wine-well, wine! And yes, there is aswell a abutting accord of wine to its aftereffect on our bodies. And, as of late, there seems to be a lot of admonition or allegation about the bloom allowances of wine; occasionally we see abrogating allegation also. Now, the catechism that begs an answer: What do we believe, if annihilation about the allowances of wine?
Here are some appear claims about wine burning to anticipate about.
On May 3, 2017, there was an commodity appear about university advisers in Australia and from Harvard University. They allocution about the allowances of an anti-oxidant admixture begin in wine that has anti-aging properties. The commodity proclaims, advisers acquire authentic an already accepted by itself occurring admixture in the physique that can acceleration DNA adjustment which, in effect, is about anti-aging and active disease.
The admixture accepted as NAD+, plays a key role in acclimation protein interactions that ascendancy DNA repair. There acquire been online writing about NAD+ for about 15 years but abutting it to wine is recent. But the admixture is aswell analytical in the winemaking beverage process. Further, as we age, our physique produces beneath and beneath of NAD+ and annihilation that addition that admixture is desirable. (NAD+ is begin aswell in resveratrol-an anti-oxidant.)
So, can we acquire we should alcohol added wine? Is this a acceptable archetype of, added is better? Probably not but this is added declared analysis to prove wine is good. Even if this is awry analysis I like it.
Brain Stimulation
Research by a Professor Shepherd believes (not proven, but researched) that flavors, blush and aromas of wine activate action in the brain. This in about-face influences a wine drinkers affecting accompaniment too.
According to Professor Shepherd, "there is affirmation that bubbler wine engages added of the academician than adequate music or even analytic a arduous algebraic equation." Now that is some complete analysis as far as I am concerned!
Cognitive Impairment
According to appear allegation in Frontiers in Nutrition maybe (maybe? -how's that for complete research) some of the compounds begin in red wine could acquire a careful aftereffect on the brain? "A aggregation of advisers at the Institute of Aliment Science Analysis in Madrid, Spain, acquire advised the action by which compounds in red wine acquire an anti-aging aftereffect on the brain." Calendar this alone says they researched this phenomenon.
The antioxidants in red wine, can be benign in dabbling the access of cerebral impairments in crumbling and neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease, advisers report.
Here afresh resveratrol could admonition anticipate age-related anamnesis loss.
Again, the superior of the analysis does not beggarly a account of fact.
Reduces Arterial Stiffness
On May 8, 2017, Jack Woodfield appear on new analysis allegation that "Red wine admixture could abate arterial acerbity in blazon 2 diabetes." Here is addition archetype of allegation advancing into the accessible area that is not based on fact, but the customer wants to acquire the advertisement as fact.
Stiff arteries could could could cause the affection to plan harder and annealed arteries is a aftereffect of diabetes. The commodity goes on to address that advisers from Boston University has begin that resveratrol could about-face annealed arteries. Mind you, this is not fact, but admonition advisers are dispensing altered to complete research.
This analysis aswell touches on the analysis involving NAD+, area resveratrol (containing NAD+) "helps adjournment crumbling and development of assertive diseases. This aftereffect occurred already resveratrol activated a gene alleged SIRT1 (which is activated in the physique by the NAD+ compound)," according to Dr. Hamburg, M.D.
The commodity does achieve that added analysis needs to be conducted. Again, do wine consumers attending at "feel-good" blazon after-effects to absolve wine consumption.
Breast Cancer
This is a accountable that shows the aberration of opinion. I use the chat assessment because, like the acicular accustomed earlier, analysis is added generally awry and is actual abundant afflicted by abounding factors that do not chronicle to science.
As appear in Lifescript.com in 2008, Dr. Edward Geehr letters the following. "Lately, you may acquire heard a lot about the allowances of abstinent amounts of wine. It's accurate that a circadian bottle of wine may abate affection advance risk. But that aegis doesn't extend to breast cancer; accident increases with added than one alcohol a day." Am I the alone one who wants to acquire area the one bottle a day for women and 2 glasses of wine per day for men is the break-point for safe consumption?
HealthDiaries.com has a hardly altered appearance on wine burning about to breast cancer. Abstinent burning of red wine is believed to lower the accident of breast cancer. However, bubbler added than 1 or 2 alcoholic drinks per day appears to access the accident of breast blight in women, so balance is key.
Prostate Cancer
For men, HealthDiaries.com letters that four or added glasses of red wine per anniversary has been apparent to abate men's all-embracing accident of prostate blight by 50% and the accident of the a lot of advancing forms of prostate blight by 60%. Again, no antecedent of such analysis is given, but we are accommodating to acquire it because we see it in print.
The customer is larboard to extrapolate how to acknowledge to the "reported findings".
The amount of bubbler wine is in the eye of the beholder. Ask yourself:
· Is there amusement in arresting wine?
· Acquire I explored the risks?
· What are the allowances and how honest and actuality based are the appear benefits?
· What for me is balance consumption?
Most analysis done on wine and wine accompanying compounds that chronicle to benign allowances was done by Dr. Jack Masquelier in France. He conducted analysis on the anti-oxidants in grapes and grape seeds. A lot of of his plan has been embodied on the appulse of wine anti-oxidants over 60 years of analysis and associate reviews and replicated research. He conducted this analysis in the 1940′s and died in 2009. The two above allowances of wine and wine accompanying online writing that his analysis has accurate scientifically is to advance affection and vascular health. Together with the now acclaimed "red wine" Professor Renaud, Masquelier provided abundant accurate contributions to compassionate of the bloom allowances of red wine.
I capital to present a arbitrary of the allowances of wine. In this apple of "fake news" there is aswell "fake research/findings", it is best to agent a amount of skepticism.
My admonition is that wine is not a anesthetic or at best it "could" be a bloom food. Cheers!

Birdchick posting here.
Wow, there was a time when I would kind of worry about Internet access and how would I get it on the road--not anymore. Wednesday, I left for a cabin that some of my writing friends use to avoid wireless and other life distractions. When I arrived and opened my trusty laptop to begin writing, I still had my airport connection open and I noticed my Inbox filling: 9 new messages, 12 new messages, 15 new messages...Low and behold, there was a signal from a neighbor. Arg.
I had installed bird feeders at this cabin a long time ago and had hoped that no one would fill them, however the writer who worked here ahead of me, learned I was coming and topped off all the feeders before I arrived and they were chock full of activity--oh no, a digiscoping temptation. But I turned off my airport and closed the shades and lots of work did get finished.
I did go out for a walk at one point and found this print in a fresh dusting of snow on the driveway to the cabin. The same tracks were along the road, as well. I'm not so good with identifying mammal tracks, but based on size next to my boot (that boot is about as long as my 12" Powerbook), I think this is a moose. I didn't think I had gone north enough for moose. Any readers out there good at identifying mammal tracks and can confirm my id? I'm still at the cabin and don't have any of my mammal books. Even if this is not a moose, that's the biggest deer print I've ever seen, and I'm not sure how I feel about a deer having a hoof print half the size of my foot.

UK: Muzzy Mom Sacrificed 4-Year-Old Daughter to Allah by Choking Her, Stabbing Her 40 Times, and then Cutting Out Her Liver
Is it just me, or does Islam seem to attract an inordinate number of psychopaths?:
Muslim mother stabbed daughter 40 times and cut out her liver in ritual killing to 'exorcise evil spirits'
A Muslim woman disemboweled her daughter as a sacrifice to [Allah] after she became convinced the four-year-old was possessed by spirits, the Old Bailey heard.
Shayma Ali, 36, stabbed the girl up to 40 times and took out her liver while Koranic verses played in the background.
When police arrived at their east London home, Ali was heard chanting: 'I seek refuge in [Allah] from the curse of Satan'.
Ali was found covered in blood rocking back and forward in the lounge of her home, with the child's liver on the carpet.
She had become obsessed that the child, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was possessed by a Jinn, a spirit referred to in the Koran which can occupy humans and animals.
In the winter months of last year Ali developed acute transient psychosis, which ended in the killing of the child on December 16.
Duncan Atkinson, prosecuting, said Ali had become an increasingly devout follower of Islam after a trip to Egypt in 2009.
By last year she was prone to 'outbursts of aggression' towards members of her family who became concerned that her mental health was deteriorating.
'She became particularly pre-occupied by the idea of possession by a thing call a Jinn,' said Mr Atkinson.
She removed the eyes from toys and videos, covering over the eyes on covers of DVDs and books,' he said.
'She also became obsessed with cleaning because she believed such evil spirits thrived in dirty spaces.' He said she 'talked constantly about evil spirits' and the belief that her daughter was possessed.
On December 16 last year she was alone with her daughter, who was not attending nursery because of a recent illness, at her home in east London.
Ali later told a psychiatrist she had been praying when she began to think about sacrificing a child 'as proof of her love of [Allah]'.
Mr Atkinson said: 'She became convinced [Allah] wanted her to sacrifice her own child.
'She gripped her daughter by the neck until she blacked out. She took her to the kitchen and, as she said, "just to make sure she had killed the Jinn, the evil spirits, properly I took a kitchen knife which had been lying about and stabbed my daughter".'
The court heard she called her husband and was found by family members in the lounge. The child was dead in the kitchen.
Police officers observed Ali repeatedly chanting: 'I seek refuge in [Allah] from the curse of Satan.' She was subsequently arrested and later charged with murder.
The four-year-old had suffered 28 exit wounds to her back, but many of the wounds overlapped each other, leading the pathologist to believe there had been 30 to 40 stab wounds.
She had also suffered blunt impact injuries to her head and compression to her neck.
In January this year Ali spoke to her husband and told him: 'A voice told me "if you really love Allah you would sacrifice your daughter".'
Psychiatrist Dr Philip Baker said Ali had become ill very quickly and it was 'very difficult for any action to be taken' but when she was psychotic she was capable of extreme violence.
Ali admitted manslaughter by reason of diminished responsibility. Wearing a burka she sobbed in the dock, flanked by three nurses, as she entered her plea.
Judge Anthony Morris QC ordered she be detained in a medium-secure unit for treatment without limit of time under sections 27 and 41 of the Mental Health Act.
'You were suffering from what has been described as an acute and transient psychotic disorder which clearly had been getting significantly worse over a short period of time before you carried out the killing,' he said.
'You became convinced that [Allah] wanted you to sacrifice your child and you went on to carry out the most terrible attack upon your four year-old daughter, stabbing her many, many times and then removing her internal organs.'
He added: 'One of the most horrifying aspects of this case is how quickly you lost control of yourself in that you became, in a very short period of time, somebody who was acting in a way entirely foreign to your normal manner of behaviour.
'The authorities must think long and hard before considering whether it is safe to release you, having regard to the rapidity of the onset of your acute symptoms in this case.'Explore posts in the same categories: Crime, Insanity, Religion

" Muslim mother stabbed daughter 40 times…" ?? Who wrote this??? The church???? " Christian mother murdered baby…. christian daddy sexually abused little girl…" ← never read it like that… racism racism….. even better how about the Aliens white people keep seeing and hearing and even killing for … or the cults where people are found dead … oh sorry it should've been " the christian ( or other religions)
14 February, 2012 at 9:18 pm
Hey SFB's Islam is not a race. However, it is a flase moon god worshiping death cult, and political system.
14 February, 2012 at 10:24 pm
Christian mother murdered baby…. christian daddy sexually abused little girl…
racism racism…..
14 February, 2012 at 10:30 pm
So 'star' in your mind… skepticism of islam = racism. Hmmm… ok care to mention which race they are?
And it seems quite 'racist' that they murder each over over thier 'religions' in the name of allah. And its equally racist the horrors they are doing in the name of thier dark god in the UK and other places because of the writings of muhammad.
Meanwhile care to mention which "Christian" sect or church allows its followers to murder thier children? No?!
Only in islam and hinduism do they 'honor kill' thier children in the name of thier honor and satanic god.
Deal with it dummy!

10 green tea skin benefits- know from dermatologist (Dermatocare's natural beauty tips)
Written By Dr Surbhi, MD SkinLast updated: 19/09/18
Written By Dr Surbhi, MD SkinLast updated: 19/09/18
"Doctor, what are green tea skin benefits? Does drinking green tea helps skin? How to use green tea in my face pack or toner?" Yes, green tea benefits your skin both on drinking and when applied to the skin. In fact, it deserves a daily intake since it also has anti-cancer, anti-obesity, cardio-protective, antidiabetic, antibacterial, antiviral and anti-ageing effects. All of these benefits are attributed to unique catechin called as epigallocatechin gallate in the green tea.
Check out: Dermatocare reviews on top anti-aging creams
Hair growth: Green tea extract promotes hair re-growth especially in Male Pattern Baldness.
Everyone can extract benefits from drinking a cup of green tea; provided it does not cause any side effect. For topical use on skin, all skin types can add green tea to a toner or face pack. However, those with sensitive skin should preferably do the patch test on the back of ear before using it for the first time. To get dermatologist assisted skincare regimen tailored to your skin needs, please answer few simple questions about your skin.
A cup of green tea a day would not only keep you fit but also add the glow to your skin. For direct application on skin, the benefits of freshly prepared green tea are better than old one, so you can retain few drops from your daily cup for use as a toner or in the face pack.
A lot of my patients complain that they cannot tolerate green tea. So, we would suggest that if you are the first time green tea drinker, please look for signs of giddiness, vomiting, itching, acidity etc. If you develop one of these, it is better to avoid it. It is advisable to consult your doctor before taking this herb during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Since green tea can irritate sensitive skin, the patch test should be done before applying it on the skin for the first time.

Recently I was stopped in my tracks when reading the court reports in national newspapers about a woman, Ms Maureen O'Hagan who recently sued her neighbours after she was attacked by their pet cat.
Ms O'Hagan claimed that the cat had a 'mischievous and abnormal nature' which the owners of the cat, the Olsten family, knew about and yet had failed to properly train or keep the cat muzzled.
I have written here previously about attacks on people by dogs and about how the injured party can and does have recourse to seek compensation for their injuries against the owner of the dog (assuming the owner is identified).
Indeed we have acted for many people who have been so injured by uncontrolled and sometime vicious breeds of dogs but never had such a case involving a pussy cat!
While I have great sympathy for Ms O'Hagan who received a bite to her hand, and while ultimately, the case was not decided on by a judge but rather 'settled' on unknown terms before the case ran to hearing, I do also have sympathy for the Olstens.
As somebody who has owned cats in the past, I know full well how almost impossible it is to get them to do anything or indeed to know from one moment to the next how the cat will react.
Moggies with Muzzles!
What I found most intriguing about this case was the fact that it was alleged against the cat owners that they had failed to properly train their cat (the expression, herding cats comes to mind!) or to keep it muzzled.
I was completely unaware that a cat could even be muzzled! However a quick Google search reveals there are such devices available on, you guessed it, ebay.
Having represented clients for 20 years in personal injury matters, I would say that this is a first for me and I will be warily eyeing my neighbours' cats in future! 🙂

One of the highest selling, greatest reviewed, most talked about comedy shows ever at Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

New Merch IS HERE!
Winslow's hilarious. His incredibly rare comedy skills still razor sharp, after all these years.
Michael Winslow of Police Academy fame partnered with DJ Yoda to remind us all "the beat box rappers, they all came after me." Every sound is human voice — if Winslow really is human. We suspect he's part keyboard or something.
Who better to perform a history of video game sound effects from Pong to Street Fighter to Portal than actor, comedian, and Police Academy legend Michael Winslow? The answer is nobody.

As pointed out elsewhere, costs matter. The books that get published in the IPO are simply enough to guarantee that the company exists and that there is something approximating a business plan. (AFAIK, Linux One was a valid startup as far as the SEC forms were concerned.) But more than that would reveal strategic information, and the SEC does not require that. This is not the detailed cost breakdown needed to demonstrate the kinds of issues we're discussing. We really need to know how much of Red Hat development was financed by revenues, how much was contrib stuff from academics, how much was financed by paying developers in options, etc. That won't be in the SEC disclosure, that's Red Hat's bread and butter; Bob Young would be in serious trouble with his stockholders if he published it on FSB to help settle this thread! In fact, given the respect I've seen for "software metrics" on this list, I would be rather surprised to find that Red Hat actually has the relevant data (and would immediately start planning my purchases of RH stock as my estimate of their ability to ride the tsunami will take a large positive jump ;-).

Explore – Encounter – EnterpriseJune 28, 2017
Amsterdam is a city characterized by an amazing diversity, authenticity, creativity and entrepreneurial spirit. A city with a heart big enough to embrace the whole world, a city that has been a figurehead and a haven of free thought. A city where prohibited books were printed, where free minds were given space to express their thoughts irrespective of their cultural and spiritual backgrounds. Every citizen of Amsterdam, every tourist, businessman or student visiting Amsterdam seeks to encounter that spirit of freedom.
In 2018 Amsterdam will boast a unique new project: the House with the Heads – Embassy of the Free Mind, encompassing a world-famous library and a platform for free thinking. The Embassy of the Free Mind will find a permanent home in the House with the Heads at 123, Keizersgracht in Amsterdam. The city's canal area is in the top ten of Dutch UNESCO World Heritage sites. The building ranks in the top 100 of listed buildings of historical and cultural importance in the Netherlands. This special place will be given a new cultural destination as part of the plans of the Worldheart Foundation.
In order to make the wealth of inspiring images and rich cultural history of the House with the Heads and Amsterdam's Golden Age accessible to a wide public, we intend to offer an interactive experience to visitors. In addition to routing, a stimulating programme of activities will be created that will include exhibitions, tours, talks, debates and conferences. The House with the Heads will also accommodate the library's collections. The 'House with the Heads' museum will be open to the public at the end of 2018. The museum's routing is expected to attract 50,000 visitors a year.
Explore, Encounter and Enterprise is the motto that is at the heart of the Embassy of the Free Mind. Nor is it limited to Amsterdam's Keizersgracht. Since 2014 a travelling exhibition on the rich visual language contained in the library has been touring Europe, and an international scholarly and museum network has been mobilised to create a dynamic public programme of events. Thanks to the support of Dan Brown and the Prins Bernhard Cultuur Fonds, the core collection of pre-1900 printed books and manuscripts is being digitised and will be made available online. The collection will thus become 'Hermetically Open' prior to the official reopening of the library in the House with the Heads.
Both the House and the museum collection carry the DNA of free thought. The Worldheart Foundation seeks to involve partners who, touched by the fire of the free mind, have a drive to get things done. The Foundation invites the free minds of today to contribute to the creation of the Embassy of the Free Mind. Each and every free mind is able to make a difference in the world of today. Now is the moment to make the difference.
See www.huismetdehoofden.nl/en for more information and artist impressions of the future plans.

The main reason that brings us to Vanuatu is our new business venture, Tanna Farms.
In partnership with Lou & Jason and our Ni-Vanuatu business partner Seth Kaurua, who has worked with us for the past 7 years recruiting our staff, we have set up a Coconut Oil Plant and are contract growing coffee beans for Tanna Coffee.
These businesses are located in Lenakel on Tanna Island, we have strong ties with Tanna as Seth is from there, as are many of our staff.
Coconut Oil Mill - Lenakel, Tanna Island
As we are living in Port Vila Jono spends half his week in Tanna. We have quickly fallen into a routine whereby he goes to Tanna on Monday morning and returns Wednesday evening. It works well as on Thursday and Friday Jono can gather anything the Tanna team team need as he can't buy any supplies on Tanna itself, making this project challenging at times, as well using those two days to work remotely from home on our Vineyard in Blenheim and Vinepower work.
When Jono is in Tanna I think I can safely say that he "roughs" it when it comes to his accommodation...we are talking grass hut stuff with resident rats to keep him company! Jason was therre last week and came back to say that he was never staying there again! There are no restaurants or cafes near where he stays so often he goes without dinner...the upside of this is he is losing weight! The reason he stays here is because it is close to the farm and he doesn't have any transport over there. Jason and I agree that our next purchase needs to be a motorbike so he can at least stay somewhere where there is running water!
It is very exciting how it has all come together, after building the plant and coconut dryers Jono had the team quickly producing oil...of course there has been some trial and error but generally it has gone really well!
Grinding Coconuts
Drying Coconut
Back in Port Vila, Jono and I have been working on our logo and branding, in a previous life we both worked in the graphic design and print industry so this has been fun and exciting for us. Pacific Trade and Invest have been working with us on our project and have assisted us in providing a branding company, Hanga Media based in Auckland these guys have come up with a fantastic brand which we are all very happy with. Next thing to investigate is jars/bottles for the Coconut Oil.
This last week Jono brought home our first bars of soap and Pete, our friend and builder, has built us a still so that we can start making our own essential oils! This is being tested as I write.
Seth mixing our first batch of soap
The coffee is growing! As with grapes coffee takes around 3 years before we get our first crop. In the meantime Jono organised for other crops to be inter-sewn in the rows for selling locally at the market, at the moment we have peanuts, taro, sweet potato, sweet corn and we are also currently growing vetiver grass which is used to make essential oils.
Coffee Bush
Growing Coffee Plants inter-sewn with Peanuts
Last week Terry Adlington owner of Tanna Coffee had Steve Gianoutsos "Dr Mojo" and Alan Bruce from Mojo visit Vanuatu as they may be interested in buying green beans from Tanna Coffee for roasting in NZ. We briefly meet with them at Tanna Coffee Factory in Port Vila as they had visited our coffee plantation when in Tanna, being ex Wellingtonians we are familiar with their coffee and can highly recommend!

Earlier this year I decided to make amigurumi of the 4 Hogwarts house animals wearing their respective scarves. This is the only one that I managed to complete because life happened, so I'm uploading it as its own thing. No idea if I'll go back and finish the rest of them.
The scarf is a separate piece and can be taken off. I've included alternate instructions for the head if you don't want to make a scarf for him. This involves just taking out a few rounds of the head, otherwise the neck will look too long without the scarf there. Here's a picture of another lion made with the extra rounds taken off:
I decided to upload this now because winter is coming and amigurumi need scarves too! Plus that new Harry Potter movie is coming out next month so the timing is perfect.

Let's try to develop a new blogging habit. Let's just take it one day at a time.
I'm currently lying in my darkened bedroom, listening to Morning Edition on WHYY out of Philadelphia. On the other side of the wall, my Matthew is taking a much-too-long shower. The sound of the running water is simultaneously soothing in a white-noise sort of way, and distressing in a wasted-resources sort of way. Whatever our kids inherited from me, they've gotten their showering habits from Joe. Long, hot, steamy, long...
This is a brief shred of time I take every morning to Internet. On my phone, I check email, overnight Facebook updates, Pinterest, Instagram, headlines. Just me and the world in the dark before I get up and face the rest of the day. Soon, I'll rise, dress, throw a frozen lunch and blue chill-pack into my lunch bag, mix and drink a SlimFast shake, herd the kids through breakfast and school prep, and get out the door around 7:30.
Fortunately, the kids are old enough/independent enough to allow me this brief cocoon phase to start my day. I can hear them downstairs now, working on their own breakfasts.
Well, NPR informs me me time is up (Marketplace is wrapping up). Until next time.

|Garlic Pork Roast up close
Tonight I made the meal I was planning to make yesterday (before I realized you needed to marinate the meat for a day…READ THE RECIPE FIRST!) I had a 2 lb. pork tenderloin left over from another meal, so I decided to try out another America's Test Kitchen recipe.
One great thing I did here was plan a main dish AND a side. Look at me acting like a grown up. I served the pork with some spinach, and the two worked nicely together. The combination of garlic and red pepper gave the pork a great bite to it, and the spinach was a nice milder flavor.
Note: My recipe here was enough for 2-3 people. You'd want to buy more spinach if you're serving more–it reduces quite a bit.
Garlic Pork Roast
America's Test Kitchen
Serves 8: Calories 330, Fat 19g, Protein 36g, Carb 2g, Sodium 240g
1 2 lb boneless, center-cup pork loin roast, trimmed
22 garlic cloves (10 peeled and crushed for marinate, 12 unpeeled)
4 t. olive oil
1/2 t. salt
3/4 t. pepper
1.5 t. minced fresh thyme
1/2 t. red pepper flakes
1 T. unsalted butter
1/4 t. sugar
Kitchen Twine
Sauteed Spinach
1 bag baby spinach
1.5 T. water
1 t. olive oil
1 clove garlic
pinch of red pepper flakes
1/3 t. fresh lemon juice
The Day/Morning Before:
- Butterfly the pork roast. Whisk the crushed garlic, 1. t. oil, salt, and 1/4 t. pepper together in a bowl and transfer it and the pork to a ziplock bag. Seal and leave for 1 hr, up to 24.
Day Of (20 minutes prep/1.5 hrs total)
- Preheat the oven to 325. Toast unpeeled garlic cloves in a skillet until fragrant (8 min). Reserve two cloves for garlic butter, then peel and mash together the rest with 1 t. oil, thyme, red pepper, and 1/4 t. pepper.
- Remove the roast from the marinade and pat dry, removing marinate items. Spread the inside of hte roast with the garlic paste. Roll tightly into a cylinder and tie the roast in 1-inch intervals with kitchen twine. Season the outside with pepper.
My first attempt tying meat..not to shabby
- Heat 2 t. oil in a skillet on medium high heat. Carefully lay the roast on the skillet and cook until well-browned on all sides (1-2 minutes each). Transfer to a wire rack, held over a baking sheet lined with foil. Place in oven and roast 50-60 minutes.
Well-browned, and ready to roast
When 15 minutes remain on the pork, prep the spinach:
- Place spinach and water in a microwave safe bowl. Cover and heat on high until spinach has decreased in size by half. (1-1.5 minutes)
- Drain the spinach in a colander, removing excess liquid with a spatula. Transfer to a cutting board and roughly chop. Return to colander and press a second time.
- Cook oil, garlic, and pepper in a skillet. Once garlic begins to brown, add in spinach, 1/4 t. salt, and toss. Cook additional 2 minutes.
- Off the heat, stir in lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper (keeping in mind the main flavor is coming from the pork, so you should add sparingly).
Finishing up the Pork
- Take your final two garlic cloves set aside earlier, and mince. Add to butter and sugar and microwave for 1-2 minutes until garlic browns and butter is melted.
- When pork is done, remove from oven and transfer to cutting board. Baste the sides with the garlic butter, then let rest, covered, for 15 minutes. Remove twine and serve in 1/2-inch discs.

After working hard and spending a few years getting established in the faith, we begin to see more clearly the needs of the people around us and we develop a strong desire to help meet those needs. We also immediately recognize that we need more training to be effective in addressing those needs. EQUIP II is designed to provide foundational training to equip TCC members serve a wide variety of ministry needs.
Dates: October through May
Format: One 2-hour Saturday meeting per month
Requirements: Recommendation of House Church Leaders; see TCC EQUIP Document
Estimated Time Requirement: 8-10 hours/month, including the 2-hour meeting
Teacher: Lawrence Simmons
The Message of the Bible
This half year course has two goals. The first is to instruct in the central message of the Bible. The second is to help participants develop the skills needed for a lifetime of study. The class involves weekly biblical readings, homework, and discussion. It is the first of three classes that equip participants to interpret the Bible and culture in order to grow increasingly effective in ministry efforts in our world. This is the same class being translated and used in our partnership in Portugal and Mozambique and is intended to support church planting and leadership development in those countries.

Takata: Victim's father warns Australians to check for faulty airbags
The father of a Takata victim has urged Australians not to be complacent and proactively check whether their vehicles are involved in the recall after losing his daughter due to a defective air bag.
Alexander Brangman's daughter, Jewel, died in 2014 when shrapnel from a faulty airbag in the rental car she was driving exploded and punctured her carotid artery during a car accident in California.
"One of her last words were 'I love my life, Dad and I'll see you on the 15th', obviously that day never happened, due to blatant incompetence and unconscionable unethical behaviour," Mr Brangman told the ABC's The World program.
"I think it's an unethical corporate problem in making poor decisions basing profit over lives."
The Federal Government on Wednesday announced a new, compulsory recall of vehicles fitted with defective Takata airbags, which will affect 2.7 million cars.
The airbags have been associated with 20 deaths globally, including one death in Australia last year and Ms Brangman's tragedy in the United States.
Mr Brangman has since become an advocate for consumer rights, and says the lack of awareness is blatant.
How many airbags are we talking?
- 2.7 million vehicles in total are included in the new compulsory recall
- 1.4 million are from last year's voluntary recall list of 2.7 million vehicles, which are yet to be fixed
- 1.3 million new vehicles have been added to the compulsory list
How does that break down?
- 850,000 of the new cars on the list are from manufacturers not included in the voluntary recall list last year
- 450,000 of the new cars on the list will have to be replaced in the future, but not urgently
- 27,000 of the most critical — Alpha airbags — are estimated as yet to be fixed, but not all of those are thought to be on the roads
- If you're one of the 1 million customers who had their airbag replaced under the voluntary recall, you may still need to check the list in case your replacement was also faulty
"You would be surprised how many people still currently, with this being the largest recall in [automotive] history … are unaware of this and don't know what to do," he said.
"First of all you have to challenge and ask manufacturers if you're purchasing cars, or whomever you're getting the cars from, are there any recalls on it?"
"You can't trust the manufacturers, you can't trust the corporations in whole, you have to do your due diligence, you have to be assertive, you have to be proactive as opposed to reactionary."
Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) chairman Rod Sims said the recall — the biggest in Australia's history — must be done by December 31, 2020.
The recall will be staggered according to urgency, with priority being given to Alpha airbags which are classified as "critical".
The ACCC recommends car owners do not drive their vehicles if they have Alpha airbags. They should instead contact the manufacturer, who would come to collect the cars.
Spokesman for consumer body Choice, Tom Godfrey, said there was almost a one-in-two chance an Alpha airbag would fire shrapnel when deployed.
And Ms Brangman's case proves it doesn't take a huge accident to trigger an explosion.
"It was a fender bender. It's questionable that the airbag should have even gone off," Mr Brangman said.
"[It was] very low damage, and impact … my lawyers were shocked and astonished that the airbag went off in the cabin of the car."
Mr Brangman firmly believes the death of his daughter, who he describes as an accomplished and honourable young woman, was preventable.
"She was aesthetically beautiful, but even more beautiful inside," he said.
"We used to have a saying, that I would always say to her 'when I grow up I want to be like you' and she would always say 'Dad you're the biggest kid I know'.
"This was an incredibly close relationship that was taken from me, I had her 26 years, 11 months, about 15 minutes and quite frankly I was devastated.
"But in her name and her honour, and the kind of person that she was, I wanted to spread awareness and immortalise her and let the world know what was lost and who she was."

Ben O'Loughlin has a new column in the Global Policy journal exploring the function of Russia's international broadcaster RT, previously Russia Today:
Incredulity doesn't kill curiosity; it encourages it. Though distrustful of logical chains of ideas, I loved the polyphony of ideas. As long as you don't believe in them, the collision of two ideas – both false – can create a pleasing interval, a kind of diabolus in musica. I had no respect for some ideas people were willing to stake their lives on, but two or three ideas that I did not respect might still make a nice melody.
Umberto Eco, Foucault's Pendulum, Vintage: London, p. 95.
Modern politics has always entailed a degree of credulity on the part of policymakers and citizens. We cannot directly experience most political events. We rely on journalism to tell us what is happening, while recognizing those representations are necessarily imperfect. We hope that all journalists try their best, otherwise we cannot be informed and think, vote and act responsibly. In journalists we put our trust and faith. When journalists mislead, intentionally or through error, outrage follows. They have broken the pact. But what happens when a global news organisation promotes incredulity towards journalism and world events? Will audiences succumb to an entirely playful attitude to the truth and see the political ideas and events for beauty they create together rather than their correspondence to reality, akin to the playfulness Italian novelist Umberto Eco suggests? Will Russia's international broadcaster RT – previously Russia Today – succeed in undercutting the evidentiary basis of political discussion and reduce world affairs to nice melodies that do not take us to events on the ground but that we find curious nevertheless? Or, instead, could RT be dragged into a more mainstream, less radical form of news? Could RT be just another normal media outlet?

Click to enlarge
Accepting the citation: "Lieutenant Colonel (Lt Col) Peter Kelly, Commanding Officer 1st NZSAS Group, receives the US Navy Presidential Unit Citation from President George. W. Bush."
Ribbon: "The ribbon to be worn by 1st NZSAS group members."
New Zealand Defence Force
Te Ope Kaatua O Aotearoa
Media Release
8 June 2005
New Zealand Special Air Service (NZSAS) to Wear Presidential Award
The 1st New Zealand Special Air Service (NZSAS) Group has received advice from Her Majesty The Queen that a US Navy Presidential Unit Citation (USNPUC) presented for service in Afghanistan has been approved for acceptance and wear.
The Citation was presented by President George. W. Bush in December 2004 in recognition of the NZSAS service with the Combined Joint Special Operations Task Force (CJSOTF) in Afghanistan over the period December 2001 to May 2002.
Members of the NZSAS who served with the CJSOTF are now able to wear the ribbon of the United States Navy Presidential Unit Citation on their uniforms. Other members of the NZSAS who were not in Afghanistan during the period specified will also be allowed to wear the ribbon while serving with the Unit.
On 7 December 2004 Lieutenant Colonel Peter Kelly, as the Commanding Officer, represented the members of the 1st NZSAS Group when he received the Citation from the US President at Miramar Air Base, California.
The Citation was awarded for "extraordinary heroism and outstanding performance of duty in action against the enemy in Afghanistan from 17 October 2001 to 30 March 2002". The Citation notes that those awarded "established benchmark standards of professionalism, tenacity, courage, tactical brilliance, and operational brilliance, and operational excellence while demonstrating superb esprit de corps and maintaining the highest measures of combat readiness".
The award is made in recognition of the highly professional contribution the New Zealand Defence Force made to the stabilisation effort in Afghanistan.
Any honour or award presented to New Zealand Defence Force members from a non-commonwealth country must receive formal approval from The Queen before it can be accepted and worn.
The 1st NZSAS Group has undertaken operations in Afghanistan on three separate deployments: December 2001 to December 2002, March to October 2004 and June to November 2005.

In a darkened room, a pulsing light, a glowing box, a rhythmic pounding, a live recording,
herenothere. Chuckers, slowly walks, slowly turns, slowly kneels, slowly prays, slowly bends, slowly sits, slowly feels,
slowly something appears,

not really nowhere.
Kuckeroo discovers it's bits, and that leads to some joyous fun!

jars (dangles) dances to music by ryan p ~ performed live during an exhibition by a.j. art slut at ramp-arts gallery in blono, illinois on august 03, 2018. music by ryan paluczak, video captured by jeremy langston
In this performance, (entitled glitterbug) I dressed up as a glitterbug and made little creature-things to place on shelves. These creature-things were made out of rudamentery materials, such as paper-clay, water based paint, sequins and glitter. I had a helper get people to make drawings of "bug-alien creatures" which were then placed to the side of this character. The character would then look at these drawings occassionally, which they used as inspiration for making the creature-things. This performance took place over the entire two-hour student annual opening.
(2018) - This piece consists of two parts: a star bedazzled paper-bag sculpture with a peephole on the top, and this continuously looping video animation. The dancing of the main character is based off of the strut by the character Dawn Davenport (played by Divine) from John Water's film "Female Trouble." The music is "The Sound of Violence" (slowed down) by Cassius, "When You Coming Out" by Dinosaur Feathers, and "Pretty Woman" by Roy Orbison.
(2017) - a beating heart, a rhythmic breathing, an anxious suffocation, a comforting warmth, an absolute love. I completed this video using some characters and objects that I had created for a performance piece that I did (Frog Slippers and my Buffalo Heart). I'd say this is an offshoot/borderline continuation of that performance. The melding of characters, bodies, and a relationship is the crux of this video, with the juxtaposition of imagery creating a surreal puzzle that slips in and out of coherence.

Two More Bobcats
I heard a strange, low moaning/growl from the scrub behind the house. It definitely got Pan and Hera's attention. It sounded like a noise a calf might make – but when I waited around to see if whatever it was would emerge, it turned out to be a pair of juvenile bobcats growling at each other:
Suspects in the Yard
Somebody's been eating my newly planted flowers in my front yard. I was pretty sure I knew who the culprit was, but for fun I moved my motion-activated camera to the front yard, near the house, to see what I might find. Well, it took only a couple of nights to catch a whole range of suspects prowling my yard.
I knew there were a couple of rabbits that have taken up residence beneath some of the tall grasses near the house since I sometimes see them out and about in the mornings. And not surprising to see the coyotes trying to find the rabbits. But it was a surprise to see a bobcat has been trying to catch the bunnies in the yard too. And of course I also caught the true culprits who've been eating my flowers! I've now installed a motion-activated light and noise-maker now so perhaps the flowers will recover.

Wildcam: Lions and Tigers and…
I bought one of those motion-sensing wildlife "game" cameras and have been trying it in different spots around my property here in the hills near Santa Cruz. Not so many lions and tigers and bears, but lots of deer and coyotes, the occasional raccoon and squirrel, but also caught a bobcat and a couple of bucks sparring in just the past month:

Another Bobcat in the Yard
I should know better than to just ignore Pan when I see he's staring out the window. The second time I walked by I stopped to look and… oh, hey! There's another bobcat – and it's in the front yard this time! Or maybe it's the same one I keep seeing in the open space behind my house. Anyway, by the time I ran upstairs to get the camera, he was following the driveway out of the front yard, but not before stopping to mark his territory. It was dusk and getting dark, but I boosted the video a bit:
I went outside to say hi but he wasn't interested in chatting. Presumably he's looking for the rabbits I sometimes see – or maybe the field mice that escape Pan's fenced off domain. I followed him down the driveway a bit, scaring off the deer, before he disappeared into the brush.

Walking the Bobcat
Just some pictures from taking our bobcat out for a walk from Waddell Beach into Big Basin State Park's Rancho Del Oso last Sunday. We hiked up to the overlook at the top of the Clark Connector trail. Nice views!

Another Bobcat Visit
I had another bobcat visit/sighting this morning at my home in the hills above Santa Cruz — and once again a deer drove it off:
More Bobcat
Pan and Hera are my little wildlife spotters. I've got to go look whenever I see something has their attention. A couple of weeks after the previous bobcat visit, I notice Pan intensely watching something from the porch.
It's another bobcat! Cool!
It's clearly a different one from given the different markings along its side. And smaller too:
Bobcat in the Yard
… that is, until a buck drove him off. No, really!
I was just letting Hera and Pan out when I see…. oh, a bobcat. Huh. No guys, back inside. No, I mean it. Hey, Hera… come back here — no, I don't think he would be a good friend for you…
And then I see the young buck. Huh. The buck is facing the bobcat down, making him back away. And he continues to drive him off and down the dirt road, out of sight.
Sorry Pan, sorry Hera, gotta go and you're staying inside today!
Yeah, yeah… the fence/cat enclosure around the porch is due to go up in a few weeks. Hey, good thing I've got guard deer though in the meantime, eh?
