#Breckenridge #Colorado
|Summit Daily
Summit Daily Link
About to close out his 41st season as the principal conductor for the National Repertory OrchestraFriday, Carl Topilow says he's is looking forward to many more.
Founder of the Cleveland Pops Orchestra, Topilow is known for his exceptional versatility, which blends a wide variety of music genres. He began his career with the NRO as its assistant conductor from 1972-75. Technically speaking, that means he's been with the group for 46 years now.
He admits that sounds like "a substantial amount of time," but the more someone talks to him the more it seems as if he's not feeling it the least bit.
"I'm used to the altitude and attitude and everything it takes to make this program successful," he said. "I've enjoyed what I do very much, and I personally don't see any stopping."
Comprised of 89 gifted young musicians from around the world, the NRO is about to close out its 59th season and 26th in Breckenridge.
After tonight's season finale, they will have performed almost two-dozen full orchestral concerts and 22 free chamber concert series events within Summit County this summer alone.
The NRO will close out the season with "Symphony No. 2" by Sergei Rachmaninoff, the kind of challenging piece that the orchestra loves to perform.
But Topilow remembers the group's humble beginnings, when they were inside the Marshdale Lodge in Evergreen. Calling the lodge "rustic" might be an understatement, but somehow they made it all work.
"We had great musicians and we all managed," Topilow recalled.
In 1987, the NRO moved to Keystone and then Breckenridge in 1993, the same year the Riverwalk Center was built. In Evergreen, the orchestra had to play at a high school auditorium some years, but in moving to Breckenridge, it was a big leap forward for the group.
"Just to have our own space with the magnificent Riverwalk Center, it was a tremendous step up," Topilow said of the 750-seat venue.
Along the way, he's worked with some amazing talents, too. Trumpeters like Michael Sachs and David Bilger, who went on to become the principal players of the Cleveland and Philadelphia orchestras, respectively, are just two examples.
Now the NRO puts on a minimum of two different orchestral programs a week, which is a high volume, especially for orchestra music, and unique among summer festivals.
Despite the heavy workload, the NRO remains in the top echelon of summer festivals, said Topilow, who every year looks forward to putting on a fresh lineup of concerts.
"It's pretty exciting stuff," he said. "I really enjoy it immensely."
To maintain such a feverish pace, the NRO relies on annually recruiting some of the top talent across the country, positioning representatives all over the U.S. and holding hundreds upon hundreds of auditions in places like New York, Los Angeles and everywhere in between.
They have NRO representatives at "all the big music sites" and at all the big music schools, Topilow said, which is one major reason he thinks the NRO has been so blessed to have such a high caliber of talent.
The conductor stands at the helm, but Topilow knows "it's a big team that puts us in the position to succeed."
With that, he's quick to credit to the board of directors, NRO staff and the audiences who've enjoyed so many of their shows. Without them, the NRO wouldn't be such a "top notch" summer festival, and people otherwise probably wouldn't be so interested in auditioning for the group.
For the principal conductor and music director, it always comes back to the talent they put on stage.
"We always have been blessed with a lot of very talented folks to join our orchestra and it's been quite something," he said. "The quality has been maintained over the years … It was never bad, but it's only gotten better and better. To do high-quality programing like this, it's important to have musicians who can handle all that's involved with it."
As for when he might consider retirement, Topilow isn't ready to even start thinking about it yet.
"Nope. How's that for an answer?" he said. "I feel great, my health is terrific, and I thrive on that mountain air."

Today we are bringing you a cozy summer wedding from the beautiful Rolling Meadows Ranch. Full of rich emotions, and intimate cuddles, Courtney and Justin's wedding story is one of a kind. Enjoy!
How did you two meet?
One of my best friends from college is friends with Justin's brother. On the phone talking one night she told me that she "totally knows my husband" and set it up. A few days later I got a text from Justin saying "Hey I hear Chelsea has a hot blonde friend, is this her hot blonde friend??" I instantly fell in love with his humor!
What is your engagement story?
We were in Florida for Justin's sisters wedding ceremony. The day after the wedding the entire family was down at the beach eating breakfast. Justin asked if I wanted to walk down the beach. as we were walking Justin told me he forgot to show me a video that he had taken of Avery (my wonderful "step" son who I love more than anything in the entire world) last week. He handed me his phone, I hit play and I hear Avery say "will you marry my daddy?" then Justin got down on one knee and I barely heard anything he said I just said Yes!!
What was your main inspiration for the aesthetic of your wedding?
I'm a natural girl. I wear mostly cream grey and black. I love the classy look. I didn't want over the top elegance but just simple beautiful and clean. The inspiration for the flowers in the tree came from my dork obsession the Twilight movie wedding.

When it comes to Vias, it's known to us all that Vias can be divided into Through-hole Vias, Blind Vias and Buried Vias. They have different functions.
With the development of the electronic products, Vias play a vital role in the interconnection between layers in a printed circuit board, The application of Via-in-Pad is widely in small-scale PCBs and BGA((ball grid arrays).As the necessary high-density BGA (Ball Grid Array) and SMD chip miniaturization, the use of Via-in-Pad technology has become increasingly significant.
Compared with bind hole and buried hole, Via-in-Pad technology has a lot of advantages:
Suitable for precision pitch BGA;
Lead to higher density PCBs and promote space savings;
Better thermal management for heat dissipation;
Resists high speed design such as low inductance;
share a flat surface with component accessories;
Reduce PCB area and further improve wiring;
Due to these advantages, via pads are widely used in small PCBs, especially PCBs that require a limited BGA space and are focused on heat transfer and high speed design. Although blind holes and buried holes help increase density and save space on the PCB, through-hole pads are still the best choice for thermal management and high-speed design elements. Taking into account costs, different projects can lead to different costs. Therefore, if your project involves vias and you cannot choose which type, please contact our engineers for the best solution.
With the reliable Via filling/capping process, Via-in-Pad technology can be used to produce high-density PCB designs without the use of chemical enclosures, avoiding soldering errors.In addition, this can provide the BGA with additional conductor traces.
We use this technology for many years now and know how to ensure a reliable and safe production process.

The basic process is:
- Use a screen capture program like xv or GIMP to get a desired image of
approximately 32x32 size.
- save the file with an XPM format
- if you don't have xv or GIMP, you can use Netpbm
- Use Netpbm routines to size and convert to XPM.
- Insert the xpm into the gui/us_pixmaps.h file so it is available
to QIcon().
Not knowing how familiar you are with Netpbm, I'll be explicit. Most Linux distros these days have the package already installed. On my machine and on bcf, the component executables are in /usr/bin. All the routines deal with the PNM format that is a simple raster format handy for intermediate images. By default, input and output are via STDIN and STDOUT, so you can pipe from one executable to the next.
So, the detailed procedure is as follows.
Identify the image you want and capture it with a screen dump utility. Experiment around to get an image that is a little more than 32x32. It need not be square. But the 32 by 32 final image will be what is clipped from the upper left of what you start with. I'm assuming you get a PNG image file.
The command line will look something like the following.
> pngtopnm icon-capture.png \ | pamcut -width 32 -height 32 \ | pnmdepth 31 \ | ppmtoxpm >icon-final.xpm
The purpose of each is:
pngtopnm - convert PNG to intermediate PNM format pamcut - grab leftmost 32 and uppermost 32 pixels pnmdepth - insure limited colors to simplify eventual xpm ppmtoxpm - convert from PNM to XPM
Once the final xpm file is as desired, it can be inserted into ~/ultrascan3/gui/us_pixmaps.h. The format of the lines should be as other entries in the header file, meaning chiefly that the line with
static char* noname[] = {
gets changed to something like
static const char* ras_xpm[] = {
and some of the comment lines from the xpm file can be removed.
Of course, there are other strategies for getting the color map and size as desired. You could, for example, scale instead of clip. You can browse

The neo-Classical style Staten Island Savings Bank was constructed on the prominent corner of Water and Beach Streets in downtown Stapleton in 1924-25. Designed by the nationally-significant firm of Delano & Aldrich (and one of only a few buildings attributed to Aldrich), it is an important example of twentieth-century Italian Renaissance-inspired neoclassicism in Staten Island. Delano & Aldrich was known for its spare but well-detailed and carefully placed ornament, which this building exemplifies.

Insurers in the Canadian group benefits market have always supported the idea that the key to a healthy vibrant benefits marketplace is rooted in the availability of independent advice for consumers. Consider it a system of checks and balances where the plan sponsor and their members need support to navigate the maze of decisions needed to make the right choices at the right time.
This might be because stewardship of benefit plans and their effective delivery to plan members requires a complex skill set. It has moved far beyond spreadsheet reviews and buying the lowest cost provider. You'd need to balance the technical requirements of advanced drug management, have a proven process to identify and assist plan sponsors in the execution of their vision or strategy, manage that vision to successful implementation and a comprehensive approach to delivering and educating the end user. With everyone's time constrained schedules, delivering sustainable and valued benefits within the insurer maze is not for the "Do It Yourselfer" anymore. Maybe it never was.
Stating the obvious, we also believe the foundation for a healthy consumer-centric model is independent advice and we try to deliver that to every client, every day. Our goals ARE aligned with the consumer and our ultimate master, is the benefit plan sponsor. We work hard to understand what our client's goals are, and then attempt to execute on their behalf.
The past 18 months have been interesting for our firm and firms like us. This past year, we have been thrust into a fight for the right to represent the consumer. The independent advice we offer is under attack by the very same insurers for whom we distribute product.
The insurers have reached into the regulatory world to create rules single handedly around conflict of interest. They call these rules G19 and they give us guidelines to follow for disclosure in the group insurance marketplace. These practices, however, do not apply to everyone and we'll return to that in a minute.
For the record, TRG has long established disclosure practices and protocol around conflict of interest. In fact, we adopted a firm-wide policy to decline participation in sales conferences offered by the insurers that were based on the achievement of sales targets. There isn't a lot of education or business at these events and we believed our time would be better spent one on one with an insurer, on our dime, and with an agenda created for the benefit of our clients.
We believe in disclosure and dream of a fully transparent and vibrant market. G19 in its current form will fail to deliver or support a healthy vibrant marketplace for too many reasons to list here.
One reason in particular for honouring the premise of a level playing field, is critical for the future of independent advice and the consumer.
The insurer created policy seemed doomed from the beginning as it lacked collaboration and consultation of all stakeholders, including the regulators themselves. In the end, they created a guideline that will create an imbalanced consumer marketplace and sadly, the proposed approach does not address conflict of interest on any level. The end result will be fewer advisors and impeded access to independent advice for the very people the insurers are trying to protect. In particular, these are small and mid-sized businesses.
An emerging problem in Canada is that small business enterprises have never sponsored a benefit plan. Said another way, the percentage of Canadians families without benefit coverage is increasing. There are many reasons for this statistic, but the complexity and administrative issues surrounding the launch of a benefit plan is a big obstacle for many for small businesses. Less access to an independent advisor to navigate through this complexity is not going to make this better.
What makes G19 so problematic is that the prevalent imbalance in favour of insurers for control of the consumer and their independent advisor will be even more tilted in favour of the insurer. This is not a good thing. The insurers' proposed new rules on dealing with conflict of interest will NOT apply to them. Canada and the insurance community have an opportunity to get this right and create a balanced solution for the protection of the consumer. The unilateral G19 model misses the mark entirely.
So, it is time to take a stand for independent advice and protect the consumer in Canada.
Advisors do not oppose true transparency as long as the playing field is level. We are especially good with insurers attempting to tackle conflict of interest and we are still hoping they will find their way to the creation of a superior policy not yet implemented in any other developed country. We have provided a lot of feedback over the past 18 months and any suggestions we made to date to help restore some balance continues to be ignored.
In its simplest form, we saw insurers get together within their trade association (CLHIA) to discuss this significant change to our business in isolation. They are just speaking to themselves, really. The CLHIA's sole mandate is to further its own interests and they did so with zero acknowledgement of the legitimate concerns voiced for months by many independent advisors across the country.
It will be interesting to see what the regulators have to say once they begin to peel back the layers of G19. It will not take long to see it for what it is – a self-serving policy that is challenged on the fundamental issue it is trying to resolve: conflict of interest. It will result in even more conflict, harm the market and the businesses that operate in it, and ultimately the consumer by creating an imbalance skewed even more in favour of the insurance company.
The insurers continue to declare the key to a healthy consumer market is rooted in a healthy independent advisor stakeholder. It is too bad their actions in G19 don't align with those words.

Evo Pods is a shared transportation system that allows users to transform, in a second any bike into an electric vehicle
Evo Pods is a shared transportation system that allows users to transform, in a second, any bike into an electric, rapid, safe, fun and weatherproof vehicle. To sum up, we are trying to build an innovative transportation system that can gather all the advantages of a bicycle and a car together, while reducing the environmental impact of our daily commutes. With eVo, users will no longer waste time in their everyday travels. We are bringing an innovative and efficient answer to the door-to-door problem that exists in every public transportation system. By using their own bicycle to get to the stations, users are now able to find the freedom and the flexibility they are looking for. eVo is the only shared system that can guarantee a fully continuous travel chain with no time lost while walking (but still exercising while pedaling), no waiting, and no transport line changes. With eVo you simply take your old bike, plug it into a pod and you are free to go everywhere you like. By answering most of users' needs we created a system that can easily compete with cars in urban and peri-urban areas. With eVo, our goal is to significantly reduce the number of cars in our cities. Thus, the ecological benefits are numerous, such as reducing CO2 emissions, increasing air quality, reducing the use of fossil fuel or producing green energy… With eVo we also reuse old existing bikes to turn them into electric shared vehicles which reduce the consumption of primary matters at a global scale. Finally, our pods are mostly built with bio-sourced and recyclable polymers which allows to minimize ecological impact during the whole product life cycle.

Laura Burkhart is a 500 E-RYT San Francisco based International teacher. She is a two-time cover model for Yoga Journal Italy and Singapore, and regular contributor for Yoga Journal US, and May 2019 cover model for Om Yoga & Lifestyle Magazine. Laura co-leads 200-hour teacher trainings with Jason Crandell, and mentors teachers in creating successful public and online teaching careers.
As a recovering workaholic and previous dancer, Laura sought out yoga to help combat the serious health problems her body was experiencing as a result of a decade of major stress and insomnia. She gravitated toward yoga because it reminded her of the similar meditative movement she found when she used to dance. The main difference she discovered between yoga and dance was that yoga encouraged her to respect her body rather than push her body beyond its limits. The healing, grounding benefits she received from yoga was so profound that she decided to change the course of her work life to help others find the same relief and peace she had found through a fluid, meditative vinyasa practice.
Laura's creatively sequenced classes are challenging, with a smooth and rhythmic flow. She is conscientious about catering to different levels and ability, ensuring that all her students feel welcome and comfortable. She is known for her warmth, fluidity, precision and smart sequencing and is attentive to the needs of her students. Laura's extensive studies under primary mentor of twelve years, Jason Crandell, from whom she has learned the art of smart sequencing and attention to detail, and Shiva Rea, where she honed her fluid style, have forged an intuitive, spontaneous and eclectic instruction style.
In addition to working with Yoga Journal, Laura has been featured in Mantra Magazine, Origin Magazine, and has written for online publications such as Greatist, Refinery 29 and SELF Magazine. She has taught at The Yoga Journal Conference, The Bali Spirit Festival, Yoga Festival Italy, Wanderlust 108, Stockholm Yoga and Dance Festival, Yoga For Hope and Yoga Rocks the Park.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic Debuts His Sportswear Brand A-Z With a Punchy Motivational Film
Swedish Player Aims to Take on Nike and Under Armour
Editor's Pick
Charismatic Swedish soccer star Zlatan Ibrahimovic has pronounced that he's taking on the likes of Under Armour, Adidas and Nike with the launch of his own sportswear brand, A-Z Sport, and the debut commercial certainly takes the fight to those brands.
The glossy black-and-white ad, created by Forsman & Bodenfors, opens with Ibrahimovic, standing in front of a cracked mirror, telling viewers they will "sweat, cry, scream, bleed" in their quest for sporting greatness "but giving up is never an option."
We see various young athletes push themselves to their limits in training, as he urges them to develop their own inner voice and not listen to the doubters. Of course it's the kind of message we've heard before, but Ibrahimovic's delivery is pretty powerful, and when he pronounces phrases like "rip out their tongues and let their words be your meat," it sounds like he really means it.
Philippe Tempelman at Indio directed the spot, which broke as Ibrahimovic unveiled the sportswear range in Paris this week. It will initially air in 11 countries, including Norway, Finland, Denmark, Germany, Holland, France, the U.K., Austria, Spain, Italy and Sweden.

I realized after the disastrous day of burning all the calories I had ingested for the day, that I really needed to eat before I go to the gym. I've noticed a definite difference in how I feel while on the treadmill if I eat right before I go versus if I don't. So along with packing a lunch, I've been packing a pre work-out meal as well. That has consisted of about four ounces of some sort of protein and I'm not 100% sure that's what I should be doing, but for now at least it keeps me going and that's what I'm looking for.
I've stopped having so many issues with my feet, sort of. The various bandages I bought at Target have helped protect the blisters I had gotten and so far I haven't gotten any new ones.
Last Friday after work, I had the appointment with the Personal Trainer to go over what I wanted to do and after some discussion we determined that I could get 13 one hour sessions for $554.00. There are some mathematical gymnastics that take place to arrive at that cost for that many sessions but that's what we came up with. Fortunately, I do not have to pay that all at once so the training is not completely out of the realm of possibility. I had thought that part of this "orientation" would be a session with the trainer but we spent an hour talking about what they had to offer and what the cost was and how to apply the package and then he sent me on my way. I actually managed to run a bit. I've never been much of a runner and my stamina is definitely lacking, but at one point I cranked the treadmill up to 5 miles per hour and ran. Well, perhaps jogged is a more accurate term. It was perfect. My footfalls were in tune with the beat of the song playing on my iPhone (whatever that was) and I wasn't pushing myself too hard and I was doing OK. It felt great. That calories burned counter was scooting up to higher numbers, I was breathing steadily and their wasn't really any discomfort in my shins as I am accustomed to having. I made a point of not looking at the timer on the display but instead just kept my eyes forward and kept running. After a few minutes, my side did start hurting and I ran for several more minutes trying to ignore it. I made it about six and half minutes before I started feeling like I couldn't keep going and I took the treadmill back down to about 4 miles per hour and walked fast. As the time was clicking down to the final minutes, I decided that I would run the last five minutes. It had been 20 minutes or so since I ran and I felt like I was recovered a bit. The clock ticked past six minutes and I was watching for it to count down to five minutes and I decided that was silly. If I was ready to run, I was ready to run. When the clock hit five and a half minutes I cranked it back up to 5 miles per hour and I ran until the automatic cool down started. That night, I ran a total of twelve minutes and it felt great! I haven't been able to run since.
Saturday was my laundry day and after sleeping till noon, I spent the afternoon and evening at Michelle's house doing my laundry. I thought about, and should have gone to the gym after, it is after all a 24 hour gym, but I did not.
Sunday was meant to be spent with Lil'B but his family went out of town and they weren't going to get back in time. I spent the day ironing and watching DVR'd TV shows. I was literally on my feet and ironing for ten hours (everything iron worthy I owned needed to be ironed) and the entire time I told myself that I was going to go to the gym later, when I was finished ironing and the crowd had thinned out. I finished ironing around 8:30. If I had gone to the gym it would have been 10:30 or later before I got back, showered and had dinner, so I decided not to go.
My legs were sore and my feet hurt from being on them on hardwood floors the whole day and I made a joke on Twitter about how ten hours of ironing must be equivalent to or better than an hour on the treadmill, right? When I woke up Monday morning I had actually lost three pounds from what I weighed on Sunday morning… Maybe it wasn't so much of a joke after all.
Mondays are Dancing with the Stars party days. For those uninitiated, a Dancing with the Stars party is where Michelle comes over and we eat dinner and watch Dancing with the Stars. She doesn't come over every Monday but she comes over most of them. There was no time for going to the Gym as I had to go home and make it sufficiently presentable for her (i.e. I had to clean the bathroom and kitchen, and sweep the floors.)
I went back on Tuesday and the line for the treadmills was insane. I spent an hour on a recumbent bike. I burned around 300 calories, which was not nearly enough, and fought to stay on the seat of the bike. I like the recumbent version better from the perspective of not making favored appendages go numb and tingly, but it seems to be impossible to get the seat in just the right location to be able to ride and not feel like I'm falling off the seat.
Wednesday, I spent an hour on the treadmill, walking at a decent clip, but still didn't get the number of calories as high as I'd like them to be. I tend to get shin splints and I haven't yet figured out how to prevent that and therefore haven't been able to amp up my speed on the treadmill.
Now, yesterday was my first session with the personal trainer and OH MY GOD I'm dying. I knew I was in trouble when he started me out with a warm up of five minutes on an elliptical machine. I started out doing well for the first two minutes, but I could really feel it in my thighs and by the time the five minutes was almost up it was all I could do to keep my legs moving. I was drenched in sweat already and he asked me if I had run and jumped in the pool while he wasn't looking. (I should have)
My trainers name is Tawiian (pronounced tuh-won). When I finished on the elliptical machine he asked me "When was the last time you stretched?" I told him I didn't know and he asked me, "Last week"? I told him I didn't know, in a tone that said, "I HAVEN'T STRETCHED, LIKE, EVER, STOP ASKING ME!" He stretched me and man did it actually feel good.
Apparently the concept of easing someone into something that is new to them is lost on personal trainers. That man had me doing things I've never done before, with heavier weights than I could imagine using ever. The session was an hour long and I considered the idea that I might not be able make it the full hour so I was quite surprised when Tawiian told me we were done.
I sat in a chair at his desk while he went to get some paperwork he had printed for me and I felt numb. I sat there for five minutes before I got up and I waddled out to my car because I could barely walk. When I got home, I sat on the toilet, doing what people do on the toilet and reading Twitter on my iPhone and I kept falling asleep.
I took my shower and went to bed. It was 8:30. My last thought before drifting off to sleep was, "Wow. Going to bed this early, I just might make it to work on time tomorrow." I slept for 12 hours and got to work at my usual time of 9:30.
I feel better today, but I'm still sore and very tired.
It's Friday again, and the coming out support group that I talked about before should be meeting again tonight. It starts at 6:30 and I was planning on attending. I still want to go, but I'm pretty beat from yesterday. We'll have to see how I feel at the end of the work day and then I'll see about going.
I've written nearly 25,000 words of my book. That's half of the over-all goal, 5000 words ahead of my personal schedule and 3500 words ahead of the national goal. And on that note, I gotta get back to it. Talk to you in another eight days, give or take.
This Is Not The Post That You Are Looking For
From the age of 14 my mother has worn high heeled shoes. She told me that it was a different time and that's what women were expected to wear. She went along with expectations and never wore flat shoes again. (She also plucked her eyebrows to the point of extinction, but that has nothing to do with today's story.)
By her fifties though, styles had changed and it was difficult for her to find casual high heeled shoes. She bought her first pair of tennis shoes in forty years. She only wore them a few times because they hurt her feet. She couldn't really understand why tennis shoes would hurt her feet, but they did and soon her feet hurt when she walked around the house barefoot too.
Finally she went to the doctor to have them check it out. The doctor determined that with forty years of wearing high heeled shoes, my mother had developed bone spurs in her feet and that was what was causing the pain. The only known solution was to continue to wear high heeled shoes. One Saturday while she was out shopping with her friend Dorothy, they were a J.C. Penny and my mother saw some shoes by Arizona Jean Company. They looked like Converse All-Stars, but they had thick soles and two and a half inch heals that were about two inches thick. She bought a pair and they felt so good she bought three more in every color.
My mother has also had a long history of sprained ankles. She has sprained both of her ankles more times than I can count. When I was a baby she was carrying me the garage one morning to go somewhere and as she stepped down the one step into the garage her ankle twisted, she went down on one knee and literally threw me across the cement floor – on my head. (That's my dropped-on-my-head story. Don't we all have one?)
Six months before I moved to California, my mother came home from work one evening, went to the mail box and stepped off a two inch curb wrong. She went down on both knees. We thought she had sprained both ankles but after several hours in the emergency room (the pain was worse than she'd ever felt and she could barely walk) it turned out she'd torn ligaments in both ankles and she had air casts on both feet for weeks.
Today, on Twitter, I followed a link to a product that will solve all her problems. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the Riggledo's Mom's Ankle & Foot Reinforcers! They're ugly as sin, but they'll get the job done!
Bits and Pieces To Tide You Over
OK. I know you're missing me terribly while I'm away doing this NaNoWriMo thing. I miss you too. (Even if it has only been two days.) You'll be glad to know that it's going well. I've got a little more than 5500 of the 50,000 words and it's really flowing nicely. That's 500 words ahead of my daily writing schedule to make the deadline so that's great, though I'm still behind the "national average" for the day. I'm not worried. The truth is, I don't think 50,000 words are going to be enough to tell the story I want to tell.
You're also probably wondering (and I'll now tell you) how things are going with the gym. I went on Tuesday night to Target and found a pair of "athletic shoes" that didn't kill my feet to wear and only cost $40.00. I also found bandages that are more suitable to my particular injuries and they seem to help make shoes in general more tolerable, thank God! I did make it back to the Gym yesterday after work. I arrived around 7:00 to find the place absolutely packed and a line of about six people waiting to use the treadmills! Crazy!
I bypassed the line and went to the row of stationary bikes. I tried one of the upright ones (last time was a recumbent style bike) and rode it for 20 minutes. Burned nearly 160 calories (that's it!?!). By the time I was finished my butt was sore and, well, let's just say the seat puts pressure on a special nerve that makes a favorite part of my anatomy…go to sleep? I didn't know that part of my body COULD go numb, but there you go. So when the 20 minutes were up, I was glad to be finished.
I headed back in the direction of the treadmills to find that there was no line and three of them were open, so I was able to get right on one. Sadly, it did not go as well as the first two times. I only burned about 380 calories in the hour I spent on the treadmill and my feet were hurting again. I was wearing short socks and the back of my left shoe was rubbing on the outside of my Achilles tendon. No new blisters but it rubbed a raw spot on my ankle. Clearly I'm going to have to wear longer socks at the gym. I really struggled to finish the hour and I had to lower the incline a couple times. But the important thing is, I went and I didn't quit.
I realized when I got home that I burned about as many calories at the gym as I had consumed all day (didn't eat dinner before I went) and I'm sure that was a big part of my struggle.
Tonight, I'm going immediately after work to the location that's closest to my office in an attempt to get in earlier (hopefully it will be less crowded) and tomorrow I have the appointment with the Personal Trainer.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I must get back to work… on my book, that is.
Working It Out and Stuff
On Friday, I managed to forget all about the coming out support group meeting for most of the day which was probably for the best. And then I remembered… And I freaked out a little bit. You might have noticed. But I sucked it up and headed toward the center around 6:30. The group starts at 6:30 but I had no intention of arriving on time anyway. When I arrived at their door it was nearly 7:00.
I headed up Telegraph Avenue and saw the building from a distance; kinda hard to miss the enormous rainbow flag in the window. I did not, however, see a driveway or a parking lot or an entrance. So I passed it up and turned at the next street, drove around the block and came back from the other direction. I turned on the side street closest to the center and parked at the corner. I locked up the car and headed back toward the center, fighting my nerves.
The Pacific Center appears to occupy a former residence, complete with big picture windows, elevated front porch up four or five stairs and a large solid oak and etched glass front door. There's a path from the sidewalk to the front steps bordered on either side by a small yard with shrubs and gardens and trees. It was actually a lovely and inviting place, and while I was still nervous walking up the path, I also felt a little better about being there.
I walked up the worn and paint-pealed steps to the front porch with the blazing light hanging overhead, and as I reached out to turn the door knob, I noticed two signs on the door. The first sign, down at the bottom of the etched glass window listed their drop in hours, Monday through Friday between 4 and 8 pm. The other sign, posted at the top of the glass read that they were closed and would be returning at 4:00. I tried the knob anyway, it was only 7:00 after all, but the door did not budge.
I was confused to be sure. There were lights on inside and on the porch, but no one was visible through the large, uncovered picture windows. I was also relieved and at that realization, I was disappointed.
The group meets on a weekly basis and there will be other opportunities to go, but I had taken the steps and gotten myself there and I wish that I could have gotten the rest of the hard part over and done with.
Saturday morning, I went to my appointment with the membership consultant, Abraham, at 24-Hour Fitness. There's really not much to tell about this except to say that he showed me around, asked me what my goals were and talked to me about personal training and the Bodybugg. I had already made up my mind about joining this gym so it was just a matter of getting my information in the system. As it turns out, they have special rates for employees of my company and so while I was expecting to have to pay a modest initiation fee and $34.99 a month membership fee, I ended up paying no initiation fee and my membership is only $29.99 a month. My upfront costs were about $15.00 less than I expected.
When I arrived at the gym Saturday morning the parking lot was packed and the place was bustling. Abraham told me that Saturday mornings are usually pretty busy because people want to get in a workout before they go out on Saturday nights. I had thought, going in that I might spend some time on a treadmill or something after I finished the paperwork but after seeing all this, I decided to wait and come back in the evening. I went back to the gym around 6:00 and it was much quieter, which I prefer. I spent 20 minutes on a stationary bike, and then accidentally spent an hour on a treadmill. I don't run, yet, but I walked a very brisk pace and when it was all said and done, I'd burned about 1000 calories.
I couldn't resist weighing myself again when I got home and I had lost two pounds since getting up in the morning. I weighed myself again Sunday morning and had lost another pound. Not bad!
I went back to the gym on Sunday around the same time and it was a little busier (no longer Saturday night, nor Halloween) and spent another hour on the treadmill. This morning I was down yet another pound from yesterday. There might be something to this exercise thing, after all!
While I was on the treadmill on Saturday, I started feeling some pain on the back of my right heel. You know the kind. It's the kind of pain where you already know when you take your shoes off you're going to have a blister there. I had that kind of pain. But I ignored it and persevered and before too long the pain went away. Sunday, I began feeling that pain again, on both heels, but I stuck it out and did the full hour. It hurt but wasn't unbearable, but when I got out to my car, I suddenly couldn't take it anymore and I had to take my shoes and socks off. It wasn't until I got home and was getting in the shower that I realized I'd been bleeding lightly, from my left heel. The water from the shower really hurt but I survived. It was while washing my right foot that I realized I had an enormous blister, the largest one I've ever had, about the size of a fifty-cent piece!
My shoes are not new, but I didn't think they were that old. The back of the inside of both shoes is worn out with the inner construction visible. Clearly new shoes are my new top priority. I can't go back to the gym until I get new shoes, so tomorrow, right after work; I'll be heading to Target for some not too expensive running shoes as in interim fix until I can get something better. I've got to get this done before Friday because I have an orientation with the "Fitness Manager" Jeffrey for personal training at 6:00.
As a new member, I can get a "starter package" of three 50 minute sessions with a personal trainer for $129.00, a pretty good rate really. I couldn't afford to do that this week-end, but I can get it next payday and go from there. I explained to Abraham that I really don't know what I'm doing in the weight room and I would like to have some help from a personal trainer but I can't afford to hire someone for every visit to the gym. He told me that Jeffrey is the guy to talk to. He might be able to make me a deal, or arrange for me to pay for the packages over time. We'll see how that goes. I'm just hoping that I can work with a trainer periodically, maybe once a week or every other week, so that I can get some guidance and encouragement and feel like I'm actually doing things correctly and getting the results I need. My hope is to spend a session with a trainer on some sort of periodic schedule and get help that day and instruction for what to do until we meet again on some sort of schedule that is productive, but still affordable. At $129.00 for three sessions that's $43.00 a session. After this first three it goes up to about $75.00 a session, clearly not something I can afford on an on-going basis.
So all in all, I'm feeling pretty good about the gym (only 2 days in, I know) and I think I'm going to enjoy this process. I think it helps a lot to have changed my focus from saying I want to look like this:
to saying, I want to be healthy and strong, to be fit. If I look amazing as a result, so much the better, but that's not the focus anymore.
It's November and that means it's time for NaNoWriMo, National Novel Writing Month. As some of you may know, I started a novel a few months back. I got two good chapters written (at least I think they're good) and then I got a little complacent about it. I decided in September that I wanted to participate in NaNoWriMo again and this would be a perfect time to continue work on my novel.
I participated in "Nano" last year but all I did was make a point of writing a blog post everyday and compiled those into a "book" for the sake of the program. This year I want to actually write a legitimate novel, continuing what I've started. To "win" the "competition" you have to write 50,000 words by the end of the month. I haven't started yet. Figuring that week-ends will be limited in my ability to write, I figure that I've got 21 days to write 50,000 words and I've pretty much missed today. That gives me 20 days or 2500 words a day.
That being said, forgive me if my posts are fewer and farther between. I'm not abandoning this blog or my lovely readers. I will post here and there, but it won't be as frequent, I suspect. I will be back to this and in full swing come December 1st, though.

Organization is something that we all strive to master and in this post I'm sharing bathroom storage baskets, tips and diy projects. If you are a blog subscriber I have a new free printable checklist that you should find most helpful in organizing your entire home.
When Marie Kondo's book The Life-Changing Magic Of Tidying Up was first released a few years back I was intrigued. We have lived in our home for so long now that things just have had a way of piling up. It's was easy to ignore while busy raising kids and all that goes with that.
With our recent renovations I've been tidying up and organizing. The kitchen was the first to organize and that always starts with purging. Plastic food storage was donated and now I have these stackable glass containers that are so reasonably priced. In Marie Kondo's book and now Netflix show, she speaks of "sparking joy", which is basically keeping only what you love. In the bathroom though it's more like keeping what you need, and bathroom storage baskets are one of my favorite ways to organize. The baskets above were found inexpensively and now are filled with fluffy towels and cosmetic essentials.
We have no linen closet close to the bathroom and designed this hidden shelving that is tucked behind the bathroom door. When the door is open you don't see the bathroom storage baskets and when it's closed there is easy access to everything. These baskets are pretty traditional solutions but I also love to get crafty and have a few more ideas to hack in mind. I'm sharing 20 must see tips to organize your bathroom today to help get you thinking about tidying -up.

Deciding to start a family is one of the most exciting decisions that a couple will make in their lives. However, there's more to getting pregnant than stopping your birth control. You need to arrange finances, see if you are healthy enough to carry a child, and determine the potential health risks that your child might face. Luckily, advances in today's technology have made family planning more predictable and less up to chance. Two large topics of pre-conception planning are ovulation calculation and genetic testing. Here are a few important steps on the to-do list when you and your partner become ready to conceive.
Check in With Your Doctors
When you are ready to conceive, the first step is to consult with your gynecologist (OB-GYN). Not only will they have excellent input about your overall health regarding fertility, but they can also offer reliable, medical insight on how to conceive. In addition to the OB-GYN, consult your primary care physician to check for any chronic conditions that might pose a risk to your pregnancy. If you are already pregnant, then your doctor can help you through the next steps as well.
Stop Using Hormonal Birth Control Methods Early
If you rely on hormonal birth control methods, such as the pill, the patch, the shot, or a vaginal ring, it is best practice to give your body a month or two to regulate and resume ovulation before conceiving. During this time period of regulating your ovulation cycle, it is recommended that barrier contraceptive methods are still used. Stopping your birth control in advance will make your periods easier to track. Additionally, it decreases the risk of a miscarriage if you stop taking the pill for one month before trying.
Track Ovulation
Many sophisticated methods are available for tracking ovulation, including:
Ovulation applications for iPhone and Android
Basal temperature fertility tracking
Medical ovulation checking
It is recommended to consult an OB-GYN to find out when you may be ovulating and how to track it if you have an irregular ovulation cycle. Methods like basal temperature tracking can be helpful to women whose cycles are irregular and may not clearly know when ovulation will occur.
Consider Genetic Testing
Before conception, it is a medically responsible decision to consider carrier testing for diseases that you or your partner could pass along to your child. If both parents are carriers of a diseases, then the child could be at risk. Genetic carrier testing can be performed before conception and during pregnancy, and tests for life-threatening or fatal conditions, such as sickle cell anemia and cystic fibrosis. Finding out the risk of passing on certain diseases does not necessarily mean a couple should not or cannot conceive together. However, it does give couples who are at greater risk of transmitting a genetic disease to their offspring the opportunity to consider other options, like adoption or sperm donation.
If you are already pregnant, non-invasive testing options like MaterniT 21 PLUS can help you get these results without putting your baby at risk. These blood tests are easier and more accurate than traditional amniocentesis tests, and screen for chromosomal abnormalities that could affect your baby's health. Planning ahead for a genetic carrier test during pregnancy means you'll be fully prepared.
If you and your partner are ready for a baby, it is easy to get swept up in the excitement. However, following a few simple steps can give you a safer, healthier experience with greater peace of mind.

About Book
From Publishers Weekly
Geared to people who grew up in alcoholic families, this is a sound, psychologically grounded book that "is about getting free from the resentments and anxiety and painful emotional memories adult children of alcoholics continue to carry from childhood into adulthood." In simple, direct prose, Rosellini and Worden discuss the tendencies adult children of alcoholics have: often they are perfectionists who are never satisfied, they neglect themselves while caring for others, they pretend to be invulnerable but constantly feel pain, they have low self-esteem, they have inordinate fears, and they overeat and abuse addictive substances (from tobacco to drugs). Among the many solutions offered, the authors counsel that readers must forgive their parents. ("Forgiveness does not mean you have to like what happened to you.") It would be overly optimistic to expect that one book would help a confused adult untangle a lifetime worth of emotional distress, but this work points the way to solutions.

Chico, Calif.--One Chico family is asking for the community's help finding one man who broke into their car Thursday morning, and it was all caught on camera.
The Crain family has lived on Silverbell Road since 2011, and they say these kind of thefts are becoming far too common in their neighborhood.
"Tis the season for heartache," said Angella Crain.
She and her husband Paul said they were frustrated when they woke up and learned that their car was broken into at about 4:30 Thursday morning.
"It really makes me sick to my stomach, because we have four kids, when they look in and they try to do these things, you gotta have some kind of heart. You see little baby seats in the car, you see four of them, not just one."
She said her husband's wallet was stolen as well as other personal items, and this was not an isolated incident.
"It's tough. When they took the catalytic converters off my car, that's thousands of dollars. Insurance covers it, but you still have deductibles. I don't want to have to spend Christmas funds on thieves," she said.
The family has added eight different cameras around the property in hopes of deterring crime, but Crain said clearly, it hasn't been enough.
"We've seen cars being broken into, cars stripped, we've found stolen items thrown in our bushes, it seems to be a constant issue around here," she said.
Crain said she moved to this neighborhood because she thought it was safer, but believes that's not the case anymore.
Her neighborhood falls under the jurisdiction of Butte County, and she hopes law enforcement would patrol the area more.
"At this point we're really looking to get out of Chico. It's just happening too much. And we're not getting anywhere, we're really actively search because it hurts. I just worry," she said.
She has taken to Facebook and posted her surveillance video and pictures in different groups in hopes of finding the thieves with the community's help.
Her husband Paul has a simple message for the thieves.
"This is frustrating, this is private property, respect that," he said.
The Butte County Sheriff's Office wants to remind residents that if a burglary does happen on your property, you're encouraged to report it to police.
If you happen to recognize the man in that surveillance video, you are asked to contact the Butte County Sheriff's Office.

Aspiring Eagle Scout to Beautify New Signs at Fire Stations with LandscapingMay 8, 2015
by Bruce Preston
The love of Scouting runs in Nathan Gendreau's family. Nathan has been involved in Scouting for as long as he can remember "at least since the first grade" he says. He took an interest in it after learning that his mother, Tracy, achieved her Gold Award with the Girl Scouts. Likewise, his older sister, Kayla, achieved her Gold Award in 2014.
Gendreau of Pack 252, Hudson, is currently leading an Eagle Scout project to install flower beds with brickwork at all three fire stations in Hudson. The project is being done in conjunction with the fire department's plans to install new signage at each station.
Gendreau, 16, a Life Scout, the second highest rank attainable, is taking on the project as part of his requirements to achieve his Eagle Scout ranking.
The idea for the project came from his work as a fire explorer with the Hudson Fire Department. Gendreau, who says he hopes to become a firefighter/paramedic someday, is participating in the Hudson Fire Explorer program. He started in the program as soon as he was eligible, at 14.
When it was time for Gendreau to come up with an idea for his project, he wanted to do something that involved helping the fire department. "I went to my fire explorer adviser (Captain Dave Morin) and asked if there is anything that they needed" and that is where the idea came from. Morin said that the project "comes at a perfect time (as) the signs are all in disrepair and this will be a great improvement to each station" because it will enhance all of the new signage.
All aspects of the project need to be thoroughly documented throughout the project. Records must be kept including a materials list, size of the project, projected staffing needs, all related costs and expenses for the project, and plans for fundraising and donations.
A junior at Alvirne High School, Gendreau had to present the idea to the Hudson Fire Department, the Eagle Board, and the Hudson Board of Selectmen. He has gotten approval from each organization, and can now move forward with the project.
Gendreau hopes to get donations from local businesses to help cover some of the costs and materials that will be necessary. He is also planning on holding car washes in May and June to raise funds.
If all goes well, Hudson residents should see the new flower beds at each fire station by the end of the summer. "I hope it makes people more likely to look at the signs and see the messages put out by the fire department," said Gendreau.

Chapter 342 – Remnant of the Savages
Wang Lin put down his cup and silently shook his head. He looked toward Qiu Siping and said, "Brother Qiu, if you give up everything and stay alone, you have a chance to comprehend the ways of the heavens."
Qiu Siping wryly smiled. He knew that he wouldn't be able to keep the fact that he was now following old man Hu from Wang Lin. He said, "Reaching the Soul Formation stage… is difficult."
Old man Hu picked up the cup and took a sip. He was shocked by the flavor. "Fellow cultivator Wang, this tea…?"
Wang Lin smiled. "This tea is not from Suzaku but from another cultivation planet. I accidently got this during my trip to the Celestial Realm many years ago.
Old man Hu took a deep breath. He stared at Wang Lin with a trace of hesitation in his eyes before saying, "Rumor has it that when brother Wang went to the Celestial Realm, you took an arm from Red Butterfly. Was brother Wang able to obtain celestial spiritual energy?"
The way he referred to Wang Lin unconsciously changed.
Wang Lin looked at old man Hu and said, "I have obtained some."
Old man Hu's eyes lit up. He looked at Wang Lin and sincerely said, "I am willing to pay any price for some celestial spiritual energy. I hope fellow cultivator Wang is willing to sell some."
Wang Lin faintly smiled. "This matter is not urgent. We can wait until it is time to breakthrough to the Soul Transformation stage. I wonder, what is fellow cultivator Hu going to the Immortal Graveyard for?"
Old man Hu secretly thought that although Wang Lin hadn't cultivated for long, he was an old fox who could easily change the subject. After hearing Wang Lin, he laughed and said, "That is true. Then when this old man is about to reach the Soul Transformation stage, I'll have to come and ask you for some. As for the Immortal Graveyard, you will have to ask fellow cultivator Zi Xin to explain."
The white-veiled woman looked at Wang Lin and said, "Senior, inside the Immortal Graveyard there is a Reincarnation Tree. Junior has a map that can lead us there."
Wang Lin calmly took a sip of tea.
The woman who came with old man Hu obediently poured another cup for Wang Lin. She would occasionally glance at Wang Lin.
After Qiu Siping heard "Reincarnation Tree," his eyes were filled with desire. Xu Luo showed the same look.
The white-veiled woman looked at Wang Lin and found that his expression hadn't changed at all after hearing about the Reincarnation Tree. His reaction was just like old man Hu's. She couldn't help but secretly sigh. Wang Lin was extremely mischievous, so she couldn't see through him at all. It looked like aside from strength, a Soul Formation cultivator's slyness was far above a Nascent Soul cultivator's.
Old man Hu looked toward Wang Lin and found that there was no change in Wang Lin's expression. Now he believed even more of the rumors about Ceng Niu.
"Sitting under the Reincarnation Tree allows a cultivator to experience an extra life cycle. This is very good for Soul Formation cultivators because it allows them to increase their understanding of their domain." The white-veiled woman looked at Wang Lin. She didn't believe that he wasn't tempted.
Unfortunately, she still couldn't see any changes in Wang Lin's expression.
Wang Lin let out a faint smile. He looked toward old man Hu and said, "Ridiculous. The domain of a Soul Formation cultivator is something that they comprehend themselves. This Reincarnation Tree might have some effect on peak late stage Nascent Soul cultivators or early stage Soul Formation cultivators whose cultivation hasn't stabilized yet. I believe old man Hu has other goals for this trip."
The white-veiled woman was startled. She looked toward the old man in the black cloak to see that he was also frowning.
Old man Hu laughed. He didn't try to hide it. He said, "Brother Wang is really knowledgable. I'm impressed. You are indeed correct."
The white-veiled woman frowned and looked toward old man Hu.
Old man Hu laughed. "Fellow cultivator Zi Xin, don't blame me. If it was just for the Reincarnation Tree, I wouldn't follow you into the Immortal Graveyard. What I want is the Reincarnation Fruit!" After he finished speaking, he looked toward Wang Lin and said, "Without brother Wang, I'm only 30% confident in succeeding, but if brother Wang comes, I'll be 60% confident."
"Reincarnation Fruit." Although Wang Lin's expression remained normal, his heart was moved.
When he heard about the Reincarnation Tree, Wang Lin's mind began to work. Then, when he heard the words "Reincarnation Fruit," he was even more sure. He pondered for a bit and then said, "Is this the fruit that is the size of a fist and changes colors every two hours?"
Old man Hu's eyes lit up. He took a long look at Wang Lin and then said, "Brother Wang really is very knowledgeable! That is the way to identify the fruit. For us Soul Formation cultivators, it is a great treasure. If it is eaten at the late stage of Soul Formation, it will increase one's chance of reaching the Soul Transformation stage by 30%. I have only seen it in some old text."
Wang Lin pondered for a bit. From the memories of the ancient god, there were few fruits that were very good for a young ancient god. Due to the ancient gods' bodies, most fruits were useless. Even celestial fruits could only increase their spiritual energy by a bit.
Only a handful of spirit fruits could have any effect. While they wouldn't increase their cultivation level, if they smeared one of those fruits all over their body, it would strengthen their foundation.
This was called body cleansing among the ancient gods.
Normally, an adult ancient god finds a fruit and cleanses the body of a baby ancient god before they throw them into the core of a planet.
An ancient god that has gone through body cleansing has their meridians completely hidden inside their body. As a result, the speed at which the ancient god absorbs spiritual energy increases greatly. The meridians only reappear when the ancient god reaches adulthood, and at that point, the rate at which they absorb spiritual energy will already have reached a terrifying degree.
In ancient times, every single ancient god was hunted by every living thing because wherever there was an ancient god, there would be no spiritual energy for anyone else. However, most things that try to kill an ancient god end up dying themselves.
Only after going through body cleansing could Wang Lin's original body be considered a real ancient god.
Wang Lin pondered for a bit before saying, "Immortal Graveyard…"
Old man Hu said, "This Immortal Graveyard is very dangerous. After all, there is a power there that even Suzaku dreads. However, as long as we don't go in too deep, then there shouldn't be too many powerful savage people."
Wang Lin didn't know much about the Immortal Graveyard. He only knew from the map that the Immortal Graveyard was very large and that compared to its surface, the underground portion was even larger."
No one besides Suzaku knew exactly how many layers the Immortal Graveyard had.
"Brother Wang should know that these savages were the natives of this planet. When Suzaku became a rank 6 cultivation country, they were gifted this planet by the Cultivation Alliance. They then had a large war with the savages. This originally lively planet was ravaged during the war and has now turned into a half-wasted planet. All of this was caused by the savages."
"During this war, 90% of the savages were killed. The survivors then escaped into the Immortal Graveyard. Every 100 years, Suzaku sends countless cultivators to kill them, but they still can't wipe them all out."
"The Reincarnation Tree grows underground and is considered holy by the savages. However, there are a total of nine Reincarnations Trees, which give us a chance."
"As for the Reincarnation Fruit, as long as we can find a tree, I have a secret method for it to bear fruit within three hours."
Wang Lin pondered for a bit. He looked toward the white-veiled woman and asked, "Why did your father go to the Immortal Graveyard?"
The white-veiled woman whispered, "To get me a piece of Reincarnation Wood."
Wang Lin didn't ask further questions. He pondered for a bit before saying to old man Hu, "I can't make a decision right now."
Old man Hu nodded. "No problem. The Immortal Graveyard is indeed dangerous. I hesitated for a long time before making the decision as well. How about this: we will wait for you outside the Immortal Graveyard for one month. If you don't come, we will go on our own."
Wang Lin nodded.
Old man Hu stood up and smiled. "Then I won't bother you anymore. I'll wait for you there." With that, he clasped his hands and left.
Qiu Siping and company quickly stood up and said their goodbyes.
The white-veiled woman stood up, hesitated, and whispered, "Zi Xin hopes to see senior there." She then flew up and left.
The old man behind her clasped his hands and followed her.
After the six of them left, Wang Lin picked up the tea cup and took a sip. His eyes were sparkling.
"The Reincarnation Fruit is very useful for the original body. If i can obtain it, the original body's power will increase by a lot…"
He pondered for a bit before slapping his bag of holding. Three carvings appeared in his hand.
"Six of these time domain carvings have been destroyed, leaving only three, so the power of the time domain that they can display has greatly weakened. Sadly, there are no hundred-year-old trees to make new ones with."
After putting away the wooden carvings, Wang Lin checked his bag and took out an arm.
This arm had remained in good condition. There was even a thin layer of ice covering it, releasing a cold aura.
"Suzaku didn't act to help Red Butterfly but sent this challenge letter instead. It is indeed strange." Wang Lin pondered for a long time, but he couldn't think of why.
"It looks like a battle with Red Butterfly is inevitable, but as long as she hasn't reached the Soul Transformation stage, I'll have a chance to win." Wang Lin sneered. He then reached out and a stone chair flew over and landed before him.
The chair looked like it was going to melt, but it morphed into a basin. Wang Lin put Red Butterfly's arm inside it, then he formed a seal and black light appeared on his hand.
Wang Lin pointed at the arm and the black light entered the arm.
Subsequently, Wang Lin slapped his bag of holding and took out several small bottles. These bottles were things that Wang Lin had obtained during these past few hundred years. They contained the poison from a spirit beast.
He broke the bottles open and poured out the contents. Red, blood-like liquid came out and fused with the arm.
Then Wang Lin's eyes lit up. He formed a seal that created a ghostly light. The ghostly light quickly took the shape of a skull and entered the arm.
Wang Lin didn't stop. He continued to create skulls until 99 more of them had entered the arm one by one.
The color of the arm suddenly changed from the original snow white to black and red. It looked terrifying and there was now also a stench coming from it.

Contempt of Court
Contempt of Court is openly challenging the Court's authority by either interrupting the hearing of a matter through disruptive behaviour in Court or refusing a Summons to attend to Court.[1] For example, if you breach a court order, you could be charged with Contempt of Court.[2]
To establish a Contempt of Court charge, the Police must prove beyond all reasonable doubt that:
- The conduct amounting to contempt of court occurred in Court proceedings; and
- The conduct interfered with the administration of justice.
Importantly, establishing an intention to interfere with Court proceedings is not required. All that is required is an intention to commit the act(s) amounting to Contempt of Court.[3]
Possible Penalties
The maximum penalty for Contempt of Court is 1-month imprisonment, but may result in a fine only.[4]
Defences to a Contempt of Court charge
It is a defence if it was not your intention to commit the act(s) amounting to Contempt of Court. For example, you can argue that it was not your intention to breach the Court's orders. You can also argue that you did not refuse to appear in court, rather it someone else who interrupted proceedings / was required to appear in court. Further, you can argue that your charge was based on a mistake.
Perjury is an offence of deliberately giving false evidence to Court, such as making a false statement or tendering a false document. You can also be charged with Perjury if you make a false statement to a Police Officer (e.g. you make a false Police report).
There are three elements of statutory Perjury that the Police must be establish beyond reasonable doubt:
- That you made a false statement about a fact, matter or thing to the Court;[5]
- That you knew that statement was false or incorrect;
- The statement was made under oath or under prohibited circumstance.[6]
To prove a common law perjury charge, the Police must prove beyond reasonable doubt that:
- That you made a false statement to the Court;
- Whilst under oath;
- To the Court whilst in session;
- Which was key to the determination of the proceeding; and
- You knew the statement was false.
Possible Penalties
The maximum penalty for Perjury is 15 years imprisonment.[7]
Defences for a Perjury Charge
If you held an honest and reasonable belief that the statement(s) you made to Court were true at the time you made them, you can raise a defence to your Perjury charge.[8] You can also argue that it was not your intention to mislead the Court or that your statements were not made under oath. Similar defences can be raised for a Common law Perjury charge, but an additional defence is to argue that the false statement(s) were not material to the judicial proceedings.
You may also have a defence of a factual dispute relating to the charge.
Perjury and Contempt of Court charges can be complex. We suggest that you should contact an experienced legal practitioner as soon as possible if you are to be interviewed in relation to these offences so that you can be provided with appropriate advice based on the circumstances relevant to your matter.
If you have been charged with a contempt of court offence or a perjury offence then contact Leanne Warren today to discuss your defence. First 30 minute consultation is free of charge: 03 9670 6066 / email@example.com
