In my very ever first blog called Mischa Moyet's Coffee Talk, many people asked questions of me like: Why do I come on Secondlife, Where do I go, and what places can I visit?
One old favorite place of mine to visit is our destination today called "The Pixel Bean Coffee House".
Wearing this gorgeous Chiffon Mesh Summer dress from Izzies, and this (free necklace and earings); it reminded me why coffee shops are a great place to meet people either in RL or on SL.
Coffee shop's interior design and architecture are designed to relax a person. From the shapes (Zen, or asian, or modern, whatever you call it) to the colors to the materials being used to put together a coffee shop atmosphere. It provides ease to our senses, which evokes relaxation from within.
Lately, technology forces us to do things which we were not capable of doing before. Technology pushes us to achieve things which we may have not thought of before.
In effect, because of technology, people are actually doing more than ever before.
So, a little form of relaxation is something that we are willing to pay for even if it costs.
Coffee shops provide relaxation, from the waft of coffee that draws the senses, and the people that I meet along the way, this is for you. Somewhere to relax and just hang out.

"Healing through Strength…"
There were a lot of reasons why Old Country Strong was created.
I could sit back and sift through Old Country's history today but that's not the point. It's simple. It started with the Club. From the Club it grew. We took on our own identity, style and swagger. We pride ourselves in being different. We pride ourselves on being gritty, tough and hard nosed. But those things don't mean anything without eachother.
The I/C is more than a "Brother or Sisterhood," it's a family. And families look out for each other.
Some losses are beyond measure, and when they happen no one knows what to do.
I found myself in that position two years ago. On November 1st, 2009 I got a call I will never, ever forget. The night before three very special people to me had just lost someone very special to them. When I received the news, I didn't know what to do.
Timothy Brenton had been lost in the line of duty
Tim Brenton was a Seattle Police Officer
Tim was a Brother and a Father
"Lumpy" was loved by everyone who knew him
Betsy, Derek and Matty came to me with a simple request: create a Tribute Workout for Tim. Doing this was one of the greatest honors of my life. I contacted Crossfit.com about Tim and asked if they would create a officially recognized workout in his memory as well. They answered my request and created the Hero Workout "Brenton" that appears on the Crossfit homepage for people all over the world to take part in and remember Tim.
But "Brenton" isn't the workout the Club has comes together to do every year. We remember Tim in our own private way. We celebrated Tim's memory this year as we have every year since his passing: with "Lumpy"
We are all stronger together than we are apart. That's what makes Old Country so great, the positive effects we can all have on each other's lives… and we can do it with something as simple as lifting.
But it's not all that simple is it? We all take so much from our time on the platform or under the bar and our time with each other. To say it's simple is a understatement, it's the Healing Power of Strength.
Next week is a big week for Old Country. It's the mark of our second annual "Strong is Beautiful" week. You will hear from 5 guest writers on how strength physically and mentally has effected there lives in ways you couldn't imagine.
I truly believe when we need each other we can TRULY count each other, no matter what. That what makes OC different. I think together is where the Club and those that support it can find the the Power to Heal Through Strength.

We've all heard the phrase, "Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory." It refers to a moment of almost complete success that turns into a moment of complete loss. I have, of course, seen it in sales and service, but rarely have I experienced it to the degree that I did last week.
A week ago, I was in Las Vegas for a conference on video marketing (for a change, I was attending and not speaking). It was a great conference, and I learned a lot about marketing with YouTube. I had planned to check out of my hotel and fly home on Monday, but some changes to my schedule led to me rebooking my flight (no problem there, thank you, Southwest). I needed to extend my hotel stay by a night, and I figured I'd just wait and do it on-site. That's where the trouble started.
I was staying at a popular casino on the Strip. Let's call it Harrah's, because that's what it was. I've stayed at numerous Harrah's properties in Vegas and elsewhere and always had great experiences, but this was different. Harrah's now offers an 'expedited check-in' process whereby you fill out an online form and then you can just use a kiosk to get your room assignment and key. So far so good, I've used these at other Harrah's properties.
I arrived at about 2 PM, used the kiosk, and found out that my room wasn't ready, but that they would send me an email when it was and I could return to the kiosk. Great. Except by 3:30 (check in time is 3), I hadn't received an email. I went back and used the kiosk again, and again got the same message. I considered getting in line for check in at the desk, but the line was long and they only had two people working at the desk. I waited for the email that never came. Finally, at 5:15, I returned to the kiosk (the line was still long at the desk), and the kiosk gave me my keys. I was annoyed at the late check in and the fact that the email didn't come as it was supposed to, but it was no big deal. I still planned on visiting the front desk to extend my stay at some point when the line was short.
The problem was that the line was never short at any point. Nor did they ever man more than three of the ten stations for check-in, at least when I was walking by. There seemed to be no urgency toward getting guests checked in.
On Sunday night – my last scheduled night to stay there – I returned from the conference to find a letter on my bed inviting me to extend my stay by one night for free. All I had to do was call the number on the letter, use the promotional code, and they'd extend my stay. Great! This way I could get the extra night I'd planned on, get it for free, and not have to mess with the desk.
So I called the number, used the code, and the person put me on hold. After five minutes on hold, my call was disconnected. I called back, explained to the NEXT person that I had been disconnected, and was again put on hold. This time, after seven minutes on hold, I was informed that they could not extend my stay via the phone (so why have me call?), and that I should take the letter to the front desk and perhaps they could help me.
I got in, yes, another long line with only two people working the desk. In twenty minutes, the line barely moved. By now, I was checking rates at other hotels on the Strip, and discovered that for the Monday night that I needed, rates were very cheap. Specifically, the night at Treasure Island (one of my favorite places on the Strip), the room would be $49. It would be, at the current rate, at least another 45 minutes, if not an hour, to get to the desk, and I figured my time was worth more than that. I reserved the room at TI, got out of line, and went back to my room.
In the elevator, I saw another man with the same letter. I asked him about his experience, and he said that they had told him that they couldn't keep him in the same room – thus, to get his free night, he'd have to check out at 11 A.M., wait, then check back in at 3 P.M. He'd had a similar experience to me at checking in, and had no faith that he'd actually even be able to get his room at 3. We agreed that it wasn't worth it, and in fact, we both said we'd never be returning to that hotel. We were actually more disgusted with how badly the 'free night' offer had been handled than if we'd simply tried to pay for another night.
I realize this has been a long story, but there are some lessons to be learned in it. Harrah's screwed up, big time, and made a negative impression while trying to make a positive. I'm serious when I say that I will never stay there again, and I'm a frequent visitor to Las Vegas. Multiply that by the hundreds of other people who likely got that letter and tried to take them up on their offer, and they've put a lot of bad impressions in the marketplace. So, how did they mess up so badly?
- They relied too much on technology. The first bad impression was at check-in, with the fiasco with the emails that weren't sent and the late room assignment. They were clearly pushing as many people as possible to the check-in kiosk and understaffing the front desk as a result in order to save money on personnel. The problem is that the kiosk wasn't working correctly, and a kiosk can't answer questions.
- They made an offer they weren't prepared to fulfill. This is crucial. When a hotel offers an extra night for free, the logical assumption is that the guest doesn't have to pack back up, check in and out, or do any of the other silliness involved with redeeming the offer. For whatever reason, they weren't prepared to back this offer up. The offer actually made their impression worse. If I'd had to go to the front desk to extend my stay a night (paying for it as normal), I likely wouldn't have stuck it out in the long line and would have gone to another hotel – but I wouldn't have been nearly as disgusted and might have considered returning.
- They don't care about the customer. Anyone in Harrah's management could have seen that they needed to plug in more people at the front desk. People were angry and disgusted by waiting in the line, and I'm sure that they were giving the employees an earful when they finally got to the front of the line. Logic would dictate that a hotel manager, seeing that, would have found another couple of people to expedite check-in. Not doing so was basically an upraised middle finger to the guests.
The story has a happy ending – for me, at least. I packed the next morning, went right up the Strip to TI, and within three minutes of walking up to check-in (no line to wait in), I had my room keys and had a pleasant night's stay. I highly recommend that hotel.

posted: June 21st, 2010
Ive lived in the U.S. and South America, and have visited many other places. In some I felt a connection to the place and a belonging, while in others I felt no connection at all. Some were Home for awhile, but no longer.
What is Home, anyway?
We lived in Austin, Texas for many years, and regarded it as Home even after we relocated to California. Then, on one of our summer trips back, we found that the University campus had expanded. Obliterated were many of the blocks of old houses where we and friends had lived, and some of the streets had been redirected. We got lost and had to call for directions. At that point, we realized Austin was no longer Home. It was a letting go of a place where we no longer lived, even though we continued to visit.
Why did it take so long to move from Austin to California?
Our recent trips nearly across the country have helped refine my concept of Home. We revisited Boulder, Colorado, where we lived for three magnificent years. Back in the early 90s, when I first saw Boulder it spoke to my soul and welcomed me. My heart sang. I felt a deep connection to the Place. When we left there I did so reluctantly. Going back last summer, some 15 years later, we found the place to have many superficial changes, as Austin had undergone. Underneath the crowd and the clutter, though, the resonance of the Place was the same. I just had to dig deeper. Finding an outdoor labyrinth with a view of the Front Range, I asked for resolution as I walked it. On the way out from the center, I had the clear feeling of closure, of saying goodbye to the Place something I had not done before. Now, while I treasure the experiences of those years in Boulder, it no longer pulls at me.
Returning to California from one of those journeys, I talked about heading Home. Rev. Donna Belt, a friend and Chaplaincy colleague, asked, What do you look forward to most about being home? This question started a conversation about what is Home? I had to think about it.
Donna thought that perhaps home is a place that for now is defined as a resting spot determined by where her grandchildren are. I like that. Home is where you rest. Its duration and location can change.
Home, perhaps, is where you are. Our cross-country trip helped me realize, though, that I need a rooting place. Home is a place to root, and from which we can reach out in different directions.
Donna countered that we are our living homes spiritually and in every other way, and provided a quotation:
"When you believe that the truth is living, moving, that it does not have one home or rest in any temple, mosque or church... in short, that nothing can lead you to it - you will see also that you are this living thing in every respect." - Krishnamurti
Another saying that comes to mind is, Bloom where youre planted. This has been attributed to a wide variety of sources, including St. Paul and the Dalai Lama. It speaks of letting your roots go into the soil, of reaching up to the sun and sky, growing flowers or fruit, and spreading the seeds of who you are, where you are.
Those quotations both ring true. Each Place is sacred in its own way, with its own gifts. Wherever we are, wherever each of us is, we are living temples of our own Truth. We bring gifts to the place where we are, and receive from it.
Thank you. I Am Home.

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land~ 2ndChronicles 7:14 NIV
Last Sunday our congregation sang a great song about revival. The entire service was one of those services where God's people got to see God move in powerful and life-changing ways. The whole thing was beautiful and it got me pondering all sorts of things. But mostly it got me thinking about revival and why the Western church is not experiencing revival.
Heaven knows we are long overdue for one.
All one has to do is turn on a television set, attend a public high school dance, or read the comments section of a political article and it becomes abundantly clear very quickly that we could use a little supernatural intervention in our world.
Like now.
I like to define terms and according to the online dictionary revival is:
An improvement in the condition or strength of something.
An instance of something becoming popular, active, or important again
Historically and Biblically speaking, authentic revival is always more than just a string of lively church gatherings. Genuine revival moves beyond the four-walls of the church and has a positive and prolonged spiritual effect on the culture surrounding the church.
One would be hard-pressed to find a Christian serious about their faith who would make a case against the need for Christianity making a serious comeback or Christianity becoming stronger or more popular again. There is no one I know in church world who would not be thrilled to see Christianity affecting the culture once again.
I do not pretend to know everything there is about everything (it's too exhausting). However, there is one thing I do know for absolute certain. The lack of revival is not due to a lack of need. Arguably, we are a flaming-hot-mess. I could go on all day about all the social, spiritual and moral problems plaguing the Western world at this point in history. In spite of those problems the church has not witnessed a genuine revival: one that affected the culture as well as the church in more than a century. It could be argued that the fact our culture has not experienced genuine revival in my lifetime is sign of God's disapproval (Exodus 9:12, Proverbs 28:14, Jeremiah 5:3), because robust spiritual health is always an indication of God's blessing.
I am convinced that without revival our culture will simply continue to spiral deeper and deeper into state of spiritual and moral darkness. Sadly, there are some very valid spiritual reasons Christian churches are not experiencing revival in North America. First and foremost:
We aren't asking for it-
True revival always comes about as a result of God's people asking for it (Daniel 9:4-17, 2nd Chronicles 7:14). Regrettably, about twenty-five years ago corporate prayer ceased to be a thing in most churches (Matthew 18:19-20). Most large churches do not have a prayer group and the prayer groups that do exist tend to be very poorly attended. For whatever reason God moves when people pray. If we want to see real and lasting change in our families, churches, politics and culture we need to start praying for revival like it's the most critical thing in the entire world, because it is.
We are praying for the wrong things when we do pray-
Okay, I totally get that it's not my job to judge other people's prayers. I also get that it makes me something of a jerk that I do sometimes judge other people's prayers (sorry). That being said, I don't get why when we gather together corporately we are praying for things that don't really matter in the grand scheme of eternity (the health of our pets, good weather for vacations, our own prosperity, etc..). There is nothing wrong or sinful about praying for personal needs (even trivial needs). However, those types of prayers should never be the sum total of all our prayers, especially when we pray corporately.
We aren't repenting-
In the Bible revival always began when one or two people who didn't really look like they needed to repent, repenting (Daniel 9:19, 2ndChronicles 6:21, 2ndKings 22, 2ndChronicles 32:26). There are few (no) people in this world (including Christians) who can honestly say that they are without sin in some area (gossip, judgment, hardness of heart, jealousy, greed, sexual immorality, hatred, discord, selfish ambition, etc.…). It might be time for the church to do a little soul-searching to find out what it is God is calling us to let go of.
We are looking for it in the wrong places-
Most Christians believe in their heart-of-hearts that only unsaved heathens need revival. So, we wait for the world to repent rather than taking the lead and showing them the way. Sadly, too many in the church have bought into the idiotic notion that once a person is saved (has a relationship with Jesus) that no further repentance is required or that personal spiritual revival is never necessary. Nothing could be further from the truth. We all need revival in our lives from time-to-time and in the past revival and repentance has always started with believers and then moved to the world (Hebrews 12:5-7, 2nd Chronicles 7:14, Deuteronomy 8:5.

Walt Whitman was born May 31, 1819. He was one of the most influential American poets, and was also a journalist and essayist.
Many know Whitman for his writing, but he was also a famous resident of New York City —born in Brooklyn, he lived on his own in the city from the age of 15. He worked as a volunteer nurse during the Civil War and this experience impacted his work considerably.
His writing is full of colloquialisms but encompasses many aspects of the human experience, and always conveys his love of being alive and love for humanity.
"This is what you shall do: Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown, or to any man or number of men — go freely with powerful uneducated persons, and with the young, and with the mothers of families — re-examine all you have been told in school or church or in any book, and dismiss whatever insults your own soul; and your very flesh shall be a great poem, and have the richest fluency, not only in its words, but in the silent lines of its lips and face, and between the lashes of your eyes, and in every motion and joint of your body."
—Walt Whitman, preface to Leaves of Grass

Happy New Year! I hope every had a good New Years and that the new year is treating everyone well. I know it's treating me well!
Before I get to my regularly scheduled post, I wanted to take some time to lay down my plans for 2016. First off, I was thinking of changing the way my blog looks, so there will be some construction going on for the next couple of days/weeks. And second, my posting schedule. I can't do five days a week anymore because there is just isn't enough time in my day to do so- so I'm limiting it down to three. I'm going for a Monday, Wednesday, Thursday kind of deal. My TV Tuesdays will be bonus posts because they take the most time to produce. As well my Friday movie posts are bonus posts as well.
So there you have it, my public service announcement over, now back to my review of The Skinjacker trilogy by Neal Shusterman.
The first, and really only thing I want to say about this trilogy is I've never encountered a character who had the same initials as me (MMM) let alone had the same first two names Megan Mary (although the character spells her first name a little different than me). I was shocked, what are the odds? I also would like to say I'm nothing like that character, as she is the antagonist.
Everlost by: Neal Shusterman: The first novel in the Skinjacker trilogy. Allie and Nick live two separate lives, but when a fateful car crash occurs it brings them together in this place called Everlost. They aren't alive, but they aren't completely dead, just sprits. Together the two of them try to find their way around, through the good and the bad, they face every obstacle only for the story to come full circle. Now readers have to wait until the next book to find out more. The story was introspective about what happens once you die. The novel was told with great storytelling using good and evil, as well as monsters. It's sure to catch readers' attentions. It was something different to read that makes it readable. Overall it is a captivating story.
Everwild by: Neal Shusterman: The second novel in the Skinjacker trilogy. All of the characters we met in the first novel have separated, but slowly as the novel continues, they are all brought back together. Mary Hightower, the queen of Everlost, is rebuilding her army to take over, and keep everyone in Everlost. Allie is learning the art of skinjacking, and what it really means, and Nick just wants to stop Mary. The conflicts and plotlines in this novel were really well done. Plots moved with ease, and characters slowly developed and grew so the reader could really understand where they were coming from, and really relate to them. Shusterman has a way with telling a story, the pages just flew by. It was a very action packed novel, with some romance, not the gushy kind, but the heartfelt kind. Overall, it was an eventful follow up novel, and the way this one ended, shows that the last will be just as good.
Everfound by: Neal Shusterman: The third novel in the Skinjacker trilogy. Mary Hightower is on a mission, and that is to extinguish the living world, and make Everlost the one true world where she can rule everybody. Only there are a few things standing in her way; one, she's got an enemy, Allie- the Outcast, a deviant Afterlight who can skinjack, and two, she's asleep in a coffin waiting to be reborn back into Everlost. But Mary's got her own henchmen to help her complete the mission. This novel was the ending readers waited for. It was intense with suspense and action. The novel could go all of two ways, and although it was kind of predictable where it was all heading, the author gave some good twists and turns to lead the reader off. The characters all definitely went through developments, from the beginning to the end, some more so than others, but in the end played out well. It was also a nice rounded out ending, as we got to see an end for all the characters. Overall, this trilogy was original, and well thought out, definitely recommended.

May 3, 2012
After months of preparation, the Health Science Professionals Bargaining Association (HSPBA) appeared before arbitrator John Hall last Monday to argue an application for interim relief in a policy grievance that alleges HEABC is in contravention of the 2010-2012 HSPBA collective agreement for failing or refusing to work towards the objectives agreed to in bargaining.
But the arbitrator adjourned the hearing because HEABC claimed, for the second time, it was not ready to defend allegations it is violating the terms of the 2010-2012 collective agreement, as a result of current collective bargaining.
Justin Schmid, CUPE National Representative and a member of the Bargaining Committee, said the delay is uncalled for and shows the employers' disregard for the processes negotiated in the previous contract.
A policy grievance, which included a claim for interim relief, was filed by the unions in November. Employers were notified three weeks ago that the unions would be seeking interim relief on April 23. They claim that they were not given enough time to prepare.
"The HSPBA is as busy with contract negotiations as HEABC is. But we're not about to abandon our responsibility to hold HEABC accountable to terms and conditions negotiated in the last agreement, even as we work to make progress on a new collective agreement for 2012 and beyond," Schmid said.
HSPBA charges that the employer is refusing to adhere to the terms and conditions negotiated in the 2010-2012 agreement by failing or refusing to work towards fulfillment of the objectives outlined for the Joint Classifications Committee, negotiated in that agreement.
The union association believes that health authorities are prohibited from implementing any of the interim classification modifications because the right to do so was conditional upon the Joint Classifications Committee fulfilling its objectives.
While the union bargaining association worked diligently on finding creative and innovative ways to approach the classification system, HEABC did not reciprocate. Instead, health authorities moved straight to implementation of the interim modifications, which triggered loss of access to supervision, and a downgrade of grid level for certain members – affecting their pay level.
"The union's agreement to modify grid levels was contingent on a real and workable commitment to overhauling the classification system. HEABC refused to be productive in that area. That's unacceptable, and it is completely contrary to the agreement," Schmid said.
The grievance hearing was rescheduled to be heard at the end of June.
Bargaining for a new collective agreement resumes this week.

The S500 Universal's micro-sized in-ears assure a comfortable fit for any ear size and are backed by RHA's rock-solid Three Years Manufacturer's Warranty. These in-ears have the smallest dynamic drivers in the world that deliver accurate and detailed sound. The aluminium RHA S500 Universal delivers exciting, immersive audio in addition to unparalleled comfort for any ear size.
The beautiful and detailed engineering, use of premium materials and a plethora of accessories are what make this Scottish manufacturer stand out. A well-practised process finally achieves a consistent and high standard product worthy of the RHA name.
The RHA S500 Universal is almost entirely engineered using strong and resilient aerospace-grade aluminium. Not only does the aluminium give these earphones a premium finish but also makes them extremely durable even after extensive use.
The S500 Universal was exclusively unveiled at Europe's biggest consumer electronics trade show, IFA, in Berlin, Germany in September 2015. It came as no surprise when they declared their astounding 3-year manufacturer's warranty.
RHA's specifically engineered remote is now Universal. Both Android and iOS users can now easily use the one-button remote to take and end calls, play, pause and change tracks (2 clicks to play the next track and 3 clicks to play the previous track) and access digital assistants seamlessly.
Though small in size, the S500 Universal's micro-dynamic driver (model 140.1) produces vibrant and full-range sound reproduction without compromise. Engineered for maximum output from within the headphone's diminutive aluminium housings, the 140.1 excels at delivering high-quality sound.
The S500 Universal is designed to fit comfortably and securely inside the ear canal, minimising external noise intrusion in order to produce uninhibited, authentic audio reproduction. The headphone is supplied with seven sets of ear tips in a variety of sizes and styles in order to ensure the best noise isolating fit for any ear. These include a selection of dual density and double flange silicone ear tips.
Weighing just 14g, the RHA S500's lightweight aluminium body should not be deceived as fragile. They are more sturdy and durable than many other earphones at this price-point. The lightweight build further helps in reducing ear fatigue. Now your long-listening sessions do not have to take a pause.
The S500 Universal's frequency response goes as low as 16Hz and as high as 22Khz (which is even more than the human listening ability), thereby capturing every possible frequency to give a rich and detailed sound.

Here's my review of S500 U after 3 days of use :
S500U are probably the best looking earphone I have ever owned and I have owned earphones from more than a dozen brands. The Aluminum driver house, nylon braided cable, everything looks very well done. But looking good is not an earphone's primary objective, they should sound good too and that's where S500 lags a little bit.
S500U has clearly been streamlined for casual music listeners who listen to music while they commute to work.
It's not balanced. It has a very clear V shaped sound signature.
Bass is plenty but never overpowering. It's not overly powerful or thumpy so, Yes Bassheads should stay away.
Highs i:e Treble can be a little sharp but not piercing, totally fixable with the right EQ settings.
What S500 U lacks are the mids, they are recessed, considerably recessed, enough to ruin some tracks. The Bass and the treble together put the mids and vocals on the backstage. This is where I regret not getting the Byron while they were in stock coz everyone's saying they are well balanced.
Anyway, These are still very bright and lively sounding earphones.
This one is for one who loves Balance sounding headphones.This is not for bassheads.It produced crystal clear vocals.
Great noise isolation and incredible clarity.
I went through the reviews before buying these. And I must say I am impressed. The bass may not be that heavy. But these do provide you with such amazing clarity. There's a little bit of the cable noise. But you can overlook this issue, as RHA provides you such amazing earphones. I am in love with these. Go for it if you're more into clarity.
I had a good experience buying these on Headphonezone - although the earphones were out of stock for a few days, managed to get them eventually. The tracking and delivery were on-point. What impressed me most was how accurate the reviews were - an ordinary listener like me could get a realistic idea of what the product would be like- so my review may seem similar in some aspects. Jumping ahead to the review:
1. Clear sound: these earphones sound super clear; very less cable noise
2. Passive noise isolation: these earphones are small so fit into your ear and hardly allow any external sounds to get in
3. Top build quality: the materials feel premium - both the aluminium main body and the fabric wire.. only downside is the plastic wire from the Y
4. Accessories: comes with lots of pairs of earbuds and a clip, so it'll fit all ears and needs
5. Has a mic: haven't tested this as such, but the fact it has one is nice
6. Not bass boosted: can be a pro or con depending on what you listen to but I personally prefer faithful frequency reproduction
1. Narrow soundstage and okayish resolution: this was disappointing - could really feel the difference between this and more expensive earphones in this department ... the resolution isn't the greatest and one can hear some muzzling, especially in the mids and lows... even the stereo separation isn't great
2. Soft carry case: the case is a simple mesh cover and won't protect your equipment against shocks
3. No in line volume control: they could've surely included some universal volume controls there - else just having a play/pause - even non-universal ones have those working on all platforms
Other earphones I considered: Beyerdynamic Byron (didn't buy because it wasn't compatible with iOS, but maybe should have)
Sennheiser CX 3 (didn't see great reviews for it anywhere)
Bang and Olufsen Beoplay H3 (too expensive, will wait for a few years to buy this)
I have purchased both the MA390U and the S500U.
The first thing that you'll notice is that the Bass is 20% less than the 390u. The design looks really cool and they are pretty durable and comfortable... Blah blah blah... You guys already know that. Lets just talk about the sound. The sound is balanced and very well detailed with a little bit of pump to the higher frequencies. The bass is present but just not dominant. If the song packs a punch you will for sure feel the thumps. The treble notes are very well detailed and stand out in almost every track with a pure and smooth sweeping flow but sometimes a little bit harsh. RHA claims that the 140.1 driver unit provides full-range detailed audio from every track/genre and I think thats 90% true. I've been hearing that they produce recessed mids but honestly I don't think so. The mids/vocals are very well present, pleasant and detailed in almost every track. Audio manufacturers these days create budget earphones with the same sound signature, boosted bass and recessed highs, I think thats why people like me are having a hard time with the (S500's) Balanced or flat sound signature, we are missing the real deal.
Lastly I would like to say that give them a couple of days of burn-in and also music is a very subjective thing but if you try to be a little bit open minded, you'll discover a lot more!!!❤❤❤😊😊😊🎧🎧🎶🎶

Herald Sun reviews In Vogue: Songs By Madonna
Kate Herbert reviews In Vogue: Songs By Madonna for the Herald Sun. See the review in its original context here.
WHO CAN EXPLAIN why pop divas such as Madonna, Bette Midler and Kylie are gay icons – they just are.
Singer-pianist, Michael Griffiths, directed by Dean Bryant, performs Madonna's hit songs, speaking in first person as Madonna but without any drag-queen costuming, accent or attempted impersonation of that feisty, Italo-American pop idol.
Griffith's performance is super-camp and his delivery of Bryant's witty dialogue is sardonic and intimate as he weaves Madonna's songs among stories of her personal and public life.
Seated at a piano, he chats personably with us, underscoring tales of Madonna's success, loves, ambition and ageing with moody music and cheesy lyrics read from Madonna's diary.
Griffiths voice is warm, his piano playing effortless and his interpretations of Madonna's songs often have blues and jazz tones that make them more affecting and personal.
His impassioned version of Papa Don't Preach takes on new meaning when sung about her failed marriage to Sean Penn, and his reworking of Don't Cry For Me Argentina highlights her unsuccessful movie career and hapless quest to win an Oscar.
Madonna's critics may say she sounds like Minnie Mouse on helium, but songs such as Dress You Up In My Love, Borderline, I'm Crazy For You and Like a Virgin are unforgettable, pop hits.
Bryant's script includes hilariously acerbic references to Madonna's competition with Lady Gaga who has assumed Madonna's mantle of primary, pop diva.
He interweaves mischievous snippets about her parade of lovers, her natural children and adopted, African babies, and her sanctimonious and bossy behaviour.
Griffiths' charming and impish performance sheds new light on Madonna's songs and career, placing her firmly in the category of gay icon/pop idol.

Growing up in Hebron, Indiana as a young boy Walter trained in Shotokan Karate. He trained for several years and competed on a local and regional level. He stopped training when his focus shifted to music. "Returning to the martial arts after my passion for playing the guitar diminished was a bit ironic, yet on some level I felt my training now came full circle" said Walter.
Residing in the Los Angeles area he began training in Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do Concepts and later became a staff instructor under famed instructor Richard Bustillo, one of Bruce Lee's original students. It was training at the well-known IMB Academy in Torrance, CA where Walter met his first Muay Thai instructor Nanfa Serchadeco, a Rajadamnern Stadium Champion and an Olympic Bronze Medalist in Boxing. Walter embraced his training with the same enthusiasm and dedication he developed as a consummate musician. His work ethic enabled him to excel in the sport of Muay Thai and soon after began his competitive career as a fighter.
The untimely death of Nanfa Serchadeco was a tragedy and a set back. Walter trained with Vut Kamnark and then turned the adversity of losing his mentor to an opportunity to travel to Thailand to train at the famed Sityodtong Camp in Pattaya. Sityodtong was known for producing many legendary champions including the famous Payakaroon brothers Samart and Kongtalanee. While training at Sityodtong Walter's coach was none other than the acclaimed Arjarn Yod Tong Senanan, the founder of Sityodtong and appointed by a member of Thailand's Royal Family as the conservator of Muay Thai.
After returning from Thailand, Walter trained at the Muay Thai Academy in North Hollywood, the oldest Muay Thai school in the US and known for hosting every Thai champion inward bound from Thailand. It was at the Muay Thai Academy where he also trained with other coaches including World Champion, Saekson Janjira. For several years, Walter trained diligently and fought consistently and as a result won his first title belt. He was now on his way to his dream of being a Champion.
That all changed in the summer of 1996. While riding his motorcycle on the way home after a bike run an inexperienced sixteen year old driver made an illegal left turn causing a horrific accident. Rather than getting struck by the oncoming vehicle which would have instantly killed him, Walter leaped over the car landing onto the pavement. He was rushed to the ER and suffered multiple injuries and broken bones. His attending physicians explained the seriousness of his injuries and that it would be a long hard road to recovery. They also told him that he would never be able to train let alone compete in the physically demanding sport of Muay Thai.
While his doctors were correct in stating that it would take some time to heal, they were not right about everything. Against all odds and with the grace of God and the help of friends Walter began training again and had his come back fight in less than two years after being hospitalized with life threatening injuries. He won by an amazing KO victory and continued fighting for 8 solid years earning 7 additional Championship belts.
Walter attributes his success in the ring to having logged many hours with top notch trainers and coaches. To his credits, he is a certified senior instructor with over twenty-five years experience in Muay Thai. He has trained and fought in Thailand under the direction of one of Sityodtong's most celebrated Champions, Kongtalanee Payakaroon, a five-time Lumpinee Stadium Champion and older brother to Thai legend, Samart Payakaroon. Walter's last fight in Thailand was broadcasted on Thai national television and he won by an impressive KO victory. He fought a formidable opponent that was fifteen years his junior and had twice as many recorded fights which made the win that much more gratifying.
In addition to Muay Thai, Walter is also a skilled boxer and has trained with some of the best boxing coaches in the world including Justin Fortune and Freddie Roach. As a youngster, his boxing training was from the original "School of Hard Knocks". Walter recalls, "My father was my first trainer. He was originally from the South Side of Chicago and was a former boxer in the Midwest. His idea of training was to let you put on the gloves and then start blasting." Although Walter felt his father's coaching abilities fell short of many of his later trainers, he credits his father for instilling two very important elements for a fighter and that is developing mental and physical toughness.
In 2003 Kru Yod Tong approached him to be the head of the West Coast division of Sityodtong, USA. The timing could not have been better, because Walter and his wife, June Castro Michalowski were currently in the process of opening their own academy in Pasadena. It was an honor to represent one of the most famous Muay Thai camps in the world, a responsibility Walter does not take lightly.
"I would say Muay Thai saved my life. I might have gone down a different road, but that's another story. Muay Thai keeps you living clean and kept me out of trouble. It's also not just about fighting, training in Muay Thai develops discipline and respect and improves confidence and self esteem. It's great for kids and especially young adults, because it helps channel negative energy into something positive. I'm living proof of that." -WALTER MICHALOWSKI

Staff Reporter
In an effort to make a substantial contribution to peacekeeping missions around the world and especially in countries on the African continent, Namibia's soldiers will need more and new skills that can only be gained through continuous training.
In this regard the Namibian Defence Force will send a delegation of ten members to participate in the India Africa Field Training Exercise to be held at Aundh Military Station and College of Military Engineering, Pune, Western India from 18 to 27 March 2109.
According to Lieutenant Colonel Petrus Shilumbu the aim of the exercise is to train officers and troops in the effective cooperation and interoperability between the armed forces of African Nations and India in Peacekeeping Operations (PKO) and Humanitarian Mine Action (HMA) based on United Nations guidelines.
"This will be an opportunity to build sufficient capacity for PKO and HMA operations in the future." Shilumbu said the NDF contingent will also gain valuable experience from interactions with Indian Army personnel, which have a vast experience in both PKO and HMA operations with other African nations. "The NDF will be represented by two officers and eight non commissioned officers."
The lieutenant colonel indicated that other African countries such as Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia are also expected to join the exercise in India later this month.

Five Low Impact Solutions for Managing Stormwater in an Urban Environment
By By Southface Institute
Heavy summer rainfall is common in the hot and humid subtropical climate of the Southeast. What happens to all that water? Until communities flood or their water sources become contaminated, most of us don't think about it. In fact, excess stormwater runoff can damage land and buildings, parks, playgrounds and more. As stormwater flows over land, it picks up contaminants including debris, oils, grease, metals and excess nutrients from fertilizers. If not mitigated, it can contaminate habitats and waterways.
Stormwater runoff refers to the stormwater that does not soak into the ground after a rainstorm, but rather runs into a stormwater drain, ditch or other catchment, picking up contaminants along the way. In an urban environment, this is exasperated by the much higher amounts of impervious areas such as rooftops, roads and parking lots in which stormwater is unable to penetrate into the ground, collecting silt, grime and waste on its way. By virtue of its concentrated flow and the materials it contains, runoff erodes river banks and other natural barriers that protect water quality in rivers, wetlands and estuaries; the physical and chemical components of runoff degrade and contaminate groundwater, streams and rivers.
Effective stormwater management is a dynamic and ongoing municipal responsibility that is regulated by the federal and state agencies. Stormwater management mitigates the damaging effects of runoff in the following ways:
- Reduces/prevents the physical, biologic and economic impact of flooding.
- Filters pollutants from runoff before they reach the water supply.
- Reduces environmental damage from flooding by reducing erosion and decreasing silt accumulation.
- Captures rainfall that can be used for drought mitigation, landscape and sports field irrigation, cooling towers, toilet flushing and other purposes, thus reducing pressure on existing freshwater supplies.
Sustainable Approaches to Stormwater Management
Greater awareness of human impacts on the environment as well as population density and climate change have pushed sustainable stormwater management to the forefront of urban planning and design.
In the Atlanta region, water issues are managed by the North Georgia Water Management District and the design of stormwater best management practices, or BMPs, are outlined within the Georgia Stormwater Management Manual, better known as the "Blue Book." One example of sustainable stormwater management is the creation of green infrastructure (GI) which is a Low Impact Development (LID) BMP that uses the approach of mitigating stormwater at the point source by creating stormwater treatment areas such as rain gardens and bioswales that emulate the natural water cycle, slowing down runoff and allowing the stormwater to infiltrate or soak into the land, thus not burdening the stormwater pipe system. In addition to controlling stormwater, GI filters out pollutants before they reach groundwater sources and rivers. Many green infrastructure practices are designed to filter the first inch of rainwater, which carries the highest concentration of pollutants.
The Southface Institute's Green Infrastructure and Resilience Institute (GIRI) and Atlanta CREW offers home builders, contractors, landscapers and others training in the implementation of GI practices that address stormwater challenges in the low-lying areas of Georgia cities by teaching the techniques of how to install and maintain GI. GIRI also works with government, the private sector and community organizations, like the West Atlanta Watershed Alliance, to better integrate green infrastructure into public and private development plans.
Here are five examples of green infrastructure that sustainably capturing or treat stormwater in an urban environment:
1. Rainwater harvesting
One of the simplest water-harvesting solutions, capturing rainwater from rooftops, reduces the quantity of stormwater collecting on the ground or gushing down stormwater drains. It can be implemented on any scale, from the smallest dwelling or outbuilding to large factories and shopping malls. All that is required is a channeling mechanism (like a gutter or a downspout) and a storage option (like a barrel, cistern or tank). Furthermore, it can be scaled according to roof surface area, average rainfall and/or your budget. Captured rainwater can be used to water lawns, gardens and houseplants; to flush toilets; to wash cars; to add to compost; and to store as fire protection in fire-prone areas. Harvested rainwater does need to be filtered and the storage container emptied occasionally to prevent "fouling." Treated rainwater has even more uses, including toilet flushing.
2. Green roofs
Vegetated green roofs allow rainwater to infiltrate into a soil media, where it is absorbed by plants and slowly released back into the atmosphere by evapotranspiration. Vegetated green roofs also create additional habitats for wildlife and mitigate the urban heat island effect, reducing the overall air temperature of cities. There are many varieties of green roofs, including active and passive, depending on the intended use of the roof. Innovations over the past few years have allowed green roofs to be designed and installed on existing buildings in addition to new builds.
3. Rain gardens
Rain gardens are shallow planted depressions that collect and hold stormwater from impervious surfaces such as driveways, pathways, patios and rooftops, allowing it to slowly infiltrate the ground. The soil and plants act as a natural filtration system that improves the quality of water entering local freshwater systems; at the same time, filtered runoff replenishes local groundwater sources rather than flowing into stormwater drains.
4. Bioswales
Bioswales, like rain gardens, retain water in soil and serve as a filtration system as the water seeps back into the ground. Additionally, they convey rainwater to a particular place, like a cistern or bioretention area, that stores larger volumes of water and allows it to slowly filter back into the ground. Bioswales are typically designed with long, narrow, slanted slopes that guide rainwater from a large area, like a parking lot or roadway. Because they must manage a higher volume of water, bioswales are deeper than raingardens and may use soils engineered to be more absorbent.
5. Permeable surfaces
Permeable hardscapes, such as permeable pavers and pervious concrete, are alternatives to typical streets, parking areas, driveways and walkways. Unlike impervious surfaces, permeable hardscapes allow water to pass through cracks in the surface material and into an area of large gravel aggregate. From this storage area, the water ultimately seeps into the ground to replenish groundwater supplies.
An underutilized renewable resource, stormwater can play a key role in improving the water sustainability of many water-stressed urban areas. Harvesting this valuable resource not only mitigates drought, water scarcity and flooding but also improves water quality while limiting habitat degradation.
To see how these BMPs can be integrated into a site development, you can visit our campus in midtown Atlanta for a free tour, and to learn more about GI training and workforce development opportunities, see our green infrastructure operations and maintenance trainings at Southface Institute.

Oppo recently launched the Reno 2 series in India comprising the Reno 2, Reno 2Z, and Reno 2F. The Chinese smartphone maker introduced the same series in China and gave a glimpse of an upcoming product called the Oppo Reno Ace. The company hasn't revealed much information about the upcoming smartphone but has stated that the Oppo Reno Ace will sport a 90Hz display. Oppo has also stated that the Reno Ace could break cover as early as next month.
The Oppo Reno Ace does not have a launch date yet and Oppo hasn't revealed full specifications of the device, however, the company is expected to release teasers of the upcoming product in the coming weeks.
At the Reno 2 series launch in China, the company confirmed that the Reno Ace will sport a 90Hz display. The 90Hz display is now available on flagship devices like the OnePlus 7 and the OnePlus 7 Pro and the Google Pixel 4 is also expected to sport a 90Hz panel.
Rumours point out that the Oppo Reno Ace will be a flagship offering from the Chinese smartphone maker. It could sport the company's upcoming SuperVOOC charging technology based on the teasers posted by the company's VP Brian Shen. If Brian Shen was talking about the Reno Ace then we can expect the smartphone to sport a 4,000mAh battery. With no concrete launch date in sight, we might have to wait for more teasers from Oppo to come our way.
Recently the company had stated that it planned to use a 5G-enabled Snapdragon 7 series processor in 2020.

Diet and JIA
Children and food can be a source of stress for any parent. However diet can provoke even more anxiety when you have a child who is affected by a health condition such as JIA. Managing the side effects of medication can be an additional challenge as can encouraging a healthy diet in the middle of a flare up.
At present there is no specific evidence-based dietary recommendation for children with rheumatic diseases. However we do know that there are some things that can make a difference to either symptoms or disease activity such as eating a healthy, balanced diet, maintaining a healthy weight and satisfactory Vitamin D and calcium levels:-
- oily fish may be helpful in reducing inflammation and studies indicate fish oils may support some symptoms of arthritis. Oily fish includes salmon, trout, mackerel, sardines and fresh tuna. Good ways to get children to eat oily fish include making fishcakes, fish pie, kedgeree, pate or as fillings to wraps and baked potatoes
- studies of the Mediterranean diet have found it to be rich in plant nutrients, complex carbohydrates, fibre, vitamins and minerals This diet emphasises fruit and vegetables, fibre from nuts, olive oil, pulses and whole grains, fish and poultry as part of a healthy diet
- increasing the types of food found in the Mediterranean diet and reducing refined foods such as white bread, pasta, sugar and refined cereals may not just be of benefit to a child with JIA but the family as a whole
- vitamin D is an essential nutrient needed for healthy bones and to control the amount of calcium in our blood. It occurs naturally in a few foods such as oily fish and eggs. Your child's health care team may suggest your child takes a daily supplement of vitamin D drops. The recommended daily dose of vitamin D drops for children aged six months to five years is 7-8.5 micrograms per day but with all medications and supplements it is important you discuss this with your child's health- care team first. Eating regular meals will help support your child's energy levels but some medications may mean your child can often feel hungry. Here are some ways you can help your child with this:
- make sure your child has breakfast. This doesn't mean just cereals as your child will feel fuller for longer if you also include protein as part of the breakfast. Try eggs – poached, boiled or scrambled – sardines, avocados, nut butters, humous, home-made beans on toast
- when children are hungry it can be tempting to give them high carbohydrate snacks like toast, crackers or fruit. Make sure snacks like this also have protein and good fats with them – like nuts, seeds, olive oil, coconut oil, butter, avocado - which will satisfy them for longer
- if you're giving your child fruit add a handful of nuts and seeds, try vegetables dipped in nut butters, humous, avocado, sweet potato wedges, boiled eggs, cheese and natural yoghurt
- whole nuts, including peanuts, shouldn't be given to children under five due to the risk of choking. However as long as there is no history of allergies in your family you can give your child crushed nuts or nut butters once they're six months old (NB lots of schools have a completely nut free policy so ask before adding to lunch boxes or snacks for school!)
- stay away from packaged/bottled fruit juices, processed sugary drinks, and snacks. Foods containing high levels of sugar often have little nutritional benefit and may mean your child feels more hungry afterwards
- if you want juice - squeeze or juice your own and remember lots of children love vegetable juices like carrot and cucumber too! Although these are healthier options for your child remember, fruit contains natural sugars so fresh juices, including vegetable juices, should only be drunk in moderation. Also remember, one average portion only counts as one portion of fruit or vegetables.
Enticing children who feel unwell or are experiencing side effects from medication to eat can also be tricky:
- keep the meal sizes small, offer them frequently and don't worry if your child takes a little longer over their meals. If food is refused take it away and try again another time
- try to keep meals as simple as possible and include one thing you know your child likes at each meal
- home-made soups such as chicken broths or simple vegetable stews are easy on the digestion and full of nutrients to support repair in the body. You can make this in bulk and freeze for when it's needed
- smoothies made at home with a blender are usually loved and easy to drink by a child who feels unwell. Start with a glass of milk (you can use nut, oat or coconut milks if you prefer to not use dairy) and add oats, berries or fruit (fresh or frozen). Add a teaspoon of coconut oil, nut butter or seeds such as pumpkin and sunflower to increase the protein. It's also easy to hide a small amount of greens such as spinach or kale in a smoothie!
- if your child is taking methotrexate he/she may require additional supplementation of folate. Good sources of folate in food include – broccoli, brussels sprouts, spinach, asparagus, peas, chickpeas, brown rice
- constipation and/or diarrhoea can be common side effects of medication. Increasing the fibre in your child's diet through five portions of fruit and vegetables each day and swapping to wholegrain rice, wholegrain pasta, wholemeal bread, seeds, nuts and oats will keep bowel movements regular and make your child feel fuller for longer
- children with constipation or diarrhoea also need lots to drink. Frequent sips of water are best. Try to avoid giving too much milk or squash as these can cause constipation.
Handy tips
Nut butters can be found in all the large supermarkets with the peanut butters. They usually have cashew, almond, brazil. They also sell them at most health food stores.
Coconut oil can be bought at large supermarkets such as Tesco and Sainsburys as well as health food shops. You can usually find it in a jar with the olive oils etc.

Sounders' victory marred by Zakuani's serious injury
Sat., April 23, 2011
COMMERCE CITY, Colo. – No matter the final score, Friday night was a huge loss for Sounders FC.
In the third minute of Seattle's 1-0 road win against the Colorado Rapids, star midfielder Steve Zakuani suffered a potentially season-ending injury on a malicious tackle by Brian Mullan.
Zakuani, who came into the game tied for the team high in goals (two) and assists (two), had to be taken off on a stretcher and went to the emergency room for X-rays. He was found to have broken his leg in two places.
Mullan was immediately issued a red card and Colorado, the reigning MLS Cup champion, was forced to play the rest of the game with 10 men.
Seattle (2-2-3) quickly took advantage and scored on a brilliant counterattack in the 19th minute.
The play started when forward O'Brian White gathered the ball near midfield and raced down the right flank before passing it to midfielder Mauro Rosales.
Rosales then centered a pass to a wide-open Fredy Montero, who buried an 18-yard shot to the far post to end a long scoring drought.
Montero hadn't scored in his past 16 games and 1,290 minutes in all competitions. His last league goal was Aug. 28 against Chicago.
Colorado (3-3) tried to press forward in the second half for the equalizer but was limited without forward Conor Casey, who is out with a hamstring strain.
Seattle held on for its first shutout of the season and extended its unbeaten streak to five, currently the longest in MLS.
The consistency in results hasn't been shared in lineup choices, as Sounders FC started its sixth different combination in seven games. Despite having to wear a cast as he recovers from wrist surgery, Montero started at forward for the first time in four games.

Flyball is a relay race in which two teams compete against each other. A flyball team consists of four main dogs and their handlers, a boxloader, and one or two alternate dogs and handlers. A dog from each team races over a series of four hurdles, steps on a flyball box, catches a tennis ball that flies out of the box, and returns with the ball over the hurdles and across the start/finish line. The race is won by the first team to have all four dogs successfully complete their runs.
Dogs must be in good physical condition and at least one year of age. Dogs that have basic obedience skills and are well-socialized to people and other dogs will be most successful.
The best way to learn flyball is to take the Beginning Flyball class offered at TCOTC. This class will teach you and your dog the fundamentals of flyball.
Graduates of our Beginning Flyball class may choose to continue perfecting their flyball skills in our Level 2 and 3 Flyball classes. Graduates of the Level 2 and 3 classes are encouraged to join a flyball team that will help them achieve their personal goals and so that they may compete in tournaments. TCOTC sponsors the High Spirits Flyball team and they are currently seeking new members. You can learn about other teams in Minnesota by visiting www.flyball.org or www.u-fli.com.
There are many Flyball tournaments in the Metro area throughout the year. Many of these tournaments are held right here at TCOTC. View the club calendar to see when the next tournament will be held at our club. There is never an admission fee to come and watch flyball tournaments and it is an excellent way to learn more about the sport and to meet the people involved.
Beginning Flyball
Beginning Flyball uses positive training techniques to teach your dog the core skills of flyball while also emphasizing fun and safety.
Due to the physical requirements of flyball, your dog must be at least one year of age.
Prerequisites: Basic Training, Impulse Control and Reliable Recall (all three classes) or successful skills evaluation
Fee: $125 for 9 weeks.
Start Date: April 7, 2020 – Class will be on Tuesday evenings at 8:15pm
How to enroll: You may be eligible to enroll in the Introduction to Flyball class if you meet one of the following:
- Option 1: Your dog has successfully completed Basic Training (Puppy Basic Training and Puppy Prodigy are equivalents of this class), Impulse Control and Reliable Recall (all three classes) at TCOTC.
- Option 2: You have completed the skills self-assessment and have been approved for the class.
Eligible members can fill out an application form. Class size is very limited. A random drawing will be held to fill the class if we receive more eligible applicants than we can accommodate. All applicants will be notified, if we can offer them a spot in the class or not, no later than March 23, 2020. Click on the link below to complete the application.
Flyball 2 and 3
Graduates of the Beginning Flyball class continue to develop their flyball skills in Flyball 2 and 3 classes. Refine the box turn, strengthen jumping consistency and develop passing skills in hopes of preparing the dogs to join a competition team.
Prerequisite: Beginning Flyball
Fee: $100

Stop wanting and just remember to be. How often do we do that? Feel that our present selves and reality are enough?
How to be happy with what you have in life involves being grateful for a start and then becoming aware of your needs. Are they genuine? Or are they generated from outside yourself by society and the media?
Why are we always wanting more. I am trying to do without in areas of my life. I share a car with my mother and share a house with my parents. This occurred due to a serious illness I had but I am happy with it now that I am better. I had a whole house to myself before and see it as ridiculously extravagant now!
It is hard to know what you really need when the advertising and marketing juggernaut assaults our senses 24/7. I think it has taken our ability to improvise away.
But you are there - somewhere deep inside - the real you with your genuine needs. They may be very different from what we are encouraged to think we need. To feel always well within means you are OK in your own skin and are not blown around by external forces.
The sad thing is this media onslaught has been going for decades now and we really know nothing else. The whole world economy is based on a big percentage of false needs. Needs that are generated by companies but which are costing the earth.
The fact is that we cannot just keep having exactly what we want when we want it because the planet and its animals are suffering.
So it is a real pioneer who can buck the trends and be comfy with not following the crowds.
I ask myself what are my honest needs. Food, shelter, sufficient money to get those 2 things, love, safety and some daily interest...these are my basics. Not buying anything is hard when you have been encouraged to buy all your life. Very rarely do marketers encourage us to fall back on our own devices and think of solutions or to improvise and make do with what you got.
To be happy strip back your needs and know that you are enough. Be unknown and don't worry about having a following on social media. I'm finding it very hard and soulless to do this branding thing ...Just do what you do and be natural.
I think I am going to forget about striving to be an illustrator and all the stress and grasping that that will entail. Instead I am just going to produce illustrations that please me out of my head and offer them for sale as prints. I need to slow down and think what is important.
I am just going to illustrate my loves and dreams and hunches regardless whilst treading as lightly on the earth as I can.

Scientific Name
Euphorbia atropurpurea Brouss. ex Willd.
Common Names
Tabaiba Majorera, Tabaiba Roja (Spanish)
Euphorbia atropurpurea f. atropurpurea, Kanopikon atropurpureum, Tithymalus atropurpureus
Scientific Classification
Family: Euphorbiaceae
Subfamily: Euphorbioideae
Tribe: Euphorbieae
Subtribe: Euphorbiinae
Genus: Euphorbia
Euphorbia atropurpurea is a shrub that can reach up to 6.6 feet (2 m), with succulent brown stems and branches without spines. It has large bluish green leaves, which form a rosette at the end of the branches. It flowers from winter to spring. The flowers have dark red bracts up to 0.4 inch (1 cm) in size. The fruit is a red capsule with three dark brown seeds.
How to Grow and Care
Euphorbias are very easy to care for. They require a little pampering to become established, but once they are, they are self-sufficient. In fact, more die from too much care and watering than from neglect. Euphorbias need well-draining soil and lots of sunlight. They are not particular about soil pH, but they cannot tolerant wet soil. Unlike most succulents, Euphorbia does not handle long periods of drought well. It may need weekly watering during the summer. Water whenever the soil is dry several inches below the surface. Water deeply, but don't let them sit in wet soil, which can cause root rot. Add some organic matter or fertilizer to the planting hole. If you are growing them in containers or your soil is poor, feed with a half-strength fertilizer monthly.
Euphorbia can be grown from seed, but they can be difficult to germinate (or even find). It is usually propagated by cuttings. This can be tricky, because of the exuding sap. Rooting hormone is recommended with Euphorbias. They tend to grow problem free, but there are a few pests and diseases to be alert for… – See more at: How to Grow and Care for Euphorbia.
Native to Tenerife in the Canary Islands.

Combining luxury with painting the town
"I wanted to explore how people in a posh upper class residential neighborhood reacted to street art that they also could relate to"
What's your work about?
Fast, dirty, genuine! Graffiti to me is about being able to paint quick on challenging places. This is also something that I have with me when I paint canvases. Finesse is not for me.
What inspires you?
I don't get inspired by any particular person. I am inspired by my own double life where I combine luxury with my painting on the town. I like the contrast between the good life and the dirty from the graffiti culture. A dirty smeared wall in an otherwise fine and luxurious area is the best there ever is!
Why have you chosen to live and work in Stockholm?
Because Stockholm needs me!
A bit about Oliw87
Started with graffiti in the early 2000s. Then I mostly focused on painting trains and walls and bomb! Today I combine graffiti with street art and paintings. I am very dedicated and I am here to take over the art scene!
