Cappella Clausura: The Dinner Party: Barbara Strozzi meets Claudio Monteverdi
March 11, 2018 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm UTC+0$20 – $28
Once again we gather "after dinner" for an intimate feast of music. Our small group of singers and players will transport you to a Venetian palazzo, in a relaxed atmosphere of friendly competition during an imagined meeting of two great musical minds. And you'll be there, too! Hear Strozzi's amazingly chromatic and romantic madrigals for 2-5 voices, Monteverdi's similar, plus his amazing duets for both men and women ("Zefiro torno"!) and more. With 6 singers, and special guests on baroque violin and gamba, and our own Catherine Liddell, theorbo/baroque guitar.

How to Find a Medical Marijuana Doctor
If you are considering seeing medical marijuana doctors in order to get a prescription for pain management, then there are a few things that you should keep in mind before finding medical marijuana doctors. In order to find a doctor, you can start your search in several different areas. Once you do find one, you'll need to make sure they are accepting new patients in to the legal medical marijuana programs. Not all local medical marijuana doctors are accepting at this point so before you try to go to one of the walk in clinics, make sure this is not the case. Here are some tips to h
Pain, Pain, Go Away Homeostasis Through Acupuncture
Chronic pain can be a massive hindrance in our lives. Whether it's from an old injury or the side effects of medical treatment, it can sap us of our vitality and leave us feeling weak and empty, like a shell that washed onto a beach. It's something we've learned to deal with, but does it have to be something we live with?
Acupuncture is one of the more effective forms of healing available to help our bodies maintain homeostasis, or internal equilibrium. Acupuncture is a 3,000-year-old practice that has become widely used today, even being incorporated into many physicians'

Some of these videos look a bit suspicious… Any fakes amongst them? I could see how the RC car that is tethered to the center pole could achieve some tremendous speed but I wonder if the video was simply sped up?
Oct 2014 dollar your basis be first said and priligy www.rellek.net/generic/priligy_generic.html . Priligy a used premature therapy standard shipping all with price...
I think the first one may be real, but there's not much visual context. At some points, it feels like maybe they play it backwards. I'm not into RC, but I suppose a helicopter could be that agile. Same with the last one. I'd guess the boat, too, is real.
I think the second one, the RC car, is fake. The camera follows it way too fast.
Subtle clues.
The first one is real. I found a similar one not too long ago (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8t41avFuCc). I've seen similar flying in person, but not nearly as fast and skilled. Not sure about the car and the boat, but the indoor flying is real.
Yep, those are all normal.
I've got a micro electric heli; flying like that is somewhat trivial and normal (after you spend a few grand in crash parts, heh). I regularly like to land mine on the ceiling, upside down. Nitro helis like in the clip… somewhat slower and more expensive to crash, but otherwise fully capable if your fuel setup is correct.
Tether cars have always been faster than wireless. I recall seeing a top speed tether over about 245mph several years ago. Electric carpet racers are still the fastest wireless, but there's a few road-rash nitros that'll beat 200mph… once.
The boat… absolutely real. He easily dumped a few hundred for a custom wound motor and ESC. As for the camera work, remember that you're NOT seeing any of the takes where he missed it.
The foam planes are common… those have a thrust to weight ratio of about 50:1 lol. They can do K-turns in a coat closet 🙂 Definately worth checking out, as parts cost pennies – the only real costs are the tx/rx and motor, so most crashes don't matter.
If you look at the flags they move at the same speed throughout the video.
I agree with Rob, I noticed the same thing and came in here to comment.
The first two are fake, the helicopter went upside-down in the video and that is completely impossible unless the laws of inertia don't apply, not to mention that the helicopter looks like its being dragged around the movie background!!! The car one looks like the have the video playing on fast forward because there are jumps in the frames. The other two are quite real.
The first is most definatly not fake; Alan Szabo is 3D world champion. I've seen this type of flying for real at model shows it is simply amazing!
Do a Google for T rex helicopters. They will blow your mind! And yes they will fly upside-down and backwards.
These are all very real, amazing, and real.
The second one is fake. As the car starts getting faster there is a moth or some sort of bug that is unnaturally flying around. It seems that it has been sped up towards the end.
These are real! I just went to the AMA (American Modelers Association) convention here in Ontario, California and there were people doing helicopter stunts and airplane stunts like those in the video above all inside a small banquet hall. It was simply amazing!
I can confirm that the video of the tether car is very real. It was a far more popular hobby in the 50s, but it still has a pretty strong fan base. Here's video of a similar car running:
The cars are small, and usually only have to wheels. They rely on the tether to keep them upright.
The helicopter is real and I'm gonna have to say the car is as well. Notice how low the gearing is that they have to push start it with a stick and then help its momentum w/ the guy in the center. Some of those motors in those cars spin up to 40,000 RPMs… and considering you can buy a car that will do 70mph with a 2 speed automatic transmission ready to run out of the box, what do you think a tether car designed to do that loop will do?
If the car video isn't sped up how come the birds can fly so fast… Is it the nitromethane fumes…
I believe the helicopter video. I have seen it done before
lose yourself for a few hours at the rcgroups forum. http://www.rcgroups.com
electric helis are much much faster than gasoline ones..
The second is fake… Look and see some birds fly at greatttttt speedddd…. lool
The second is real: It's not a bird but an insect (butterfly I believe) It's a matter of perspective. It's closer to the camera than you think. You can see that it flies in front of the fence area right before the text scrolls by. Watch it again and you'll see what I mean.
Every single video is real. The car is the only one where I think it might be 'sped up' just a touch. It seems to suddenly get really fast and then it slows down too quickly at the end.
However, the heli is real. Raptor 90 and the very experienced pilot are models of perfection. Yes, you can fly upside down and all that. The rotors can rotate all the way around, so you are thrusting 'up' and not down.
The boat is also real. Anything that works full scale (the real boats) will work scaled down. Usually the speed doesn't scale though–it stays full speed. 😛
There are some boats that can fly, because they are so light and the motors are so powerful. Look up 'hydrofoam' and you will see what I mean.
The last one is very, very real. Those precision flying guys are so perfect, it is like a ballet in the air. Those planes weigh almost nothing, and come apart at the drop of a hat.
You guys should look up some of the 'micro' RC cars. 1/36th scale. Fast little carpet racers.
The first one is real! You can defanetly to that with those helicoptors!
The Second one is real, Look at the red flag!
The third one is real, Have seen it dose before (well not that one)
and the last one I can't see, been removed, but looking at the perview pic, it looks like a foam 3D model definetly real
These all seem accurate and are about right for their respective areas. Note that the car track is specifically designed (and shielded) for these cars.
Tethered cars have been a part of modeling for a *long* time, and the speeds aren't unrealistic. Also the "slower" of the video (smoke dissipation, flag flutter etc.) are at about the right speed. Consider this, though — NASCAR, Indy and F1 cars among other go this fast … with people in them! Not to mention drag racers that may go 50% faster.
After all that, a discount airline ticket will get *you* going two and a half times faster than the car in the video….
Hi, i think some of these a are fake, the helicopter flight seems very un-natural, almost as if it has been rendered, at the very least it has been sped up
the car one has been sped up for sure, its easy to miss, but you can see a bird flying around at warp factor 9
They are real. If you search a bit deeper, you will see a lot more of these videos on youtube. Because of the rc heli's light weight, the power to weight ratio allows it to do things a full sized heli cannot do.
Anyone who suspects them to be fake has obviously been in a cave for the past 5 years
the only suspicious one is the second one, however if you look at the flag moving in the wind, it is a real speed, so it is not fake, those rc cars can go really fast!
As far as the helicopter is is real for sure, they are pretty amazing if you know how to fly them.
the car video is very real. Look at the American flag on the left side of the screen it does not speed up. Also its a bug not a bird that comes into the frame, its flying in front of the fence.
They are all real. Not only they are real, it is so easy a 4-year-old can do it. Google or YouTube search "Justin Chi"
or Cut & Paste below.
Here is one more with 6 year old.
Here is one from Korea. The kid was born in 2004.
Thanks for the links Lotus. 🙂
Hi, guys, how are ya, i hope so, and i got an ask about how to make a scheme to speed a rc toy car's motor, adding bats or making a circuit change, whatever, thank you very much!!!

Tony Baker December 1, 2000
The message of this document is that there appears to be two types of Clovis, Old and New, and New Clovis is the progenitor of Folsom. In the literature Clovis is both a tradition and a complex and Folsom is a complex (Dixon 1999; Wormington 1957). As a result I struggled with what to call these three new groups I had created and to which I had given equal status. Ultimately, I chose complex as the appropriate term. Examples of the Old Clovis complex are projectiles from Blackwater Draw and Debert. Projectiles from Little River Clovis Complex (LRCC) and Big Eddy represent New Clovis. Folsom and Barnes points are representative of Folsom.
In the following table I have listed the traits that I believe characterize these three complexes. They have been arranged chronologically as I believe they first developed. The logic for this order is most Clovis dates are older than Folsom dates, and therefore at least Old and/or New Clovis should be older than Folsom1. Based on seriation New Clovis shares lithic technology characteristics with both Old Clovis and Folsom, so I have located it between the other two. By this proposed chronology I am not suggesting that these complexes were sequential, but only that this is the order of their first appearance. It is quite possible that New Clovis, which I am suggesting developed before Folsom, may have also outlasted Folsom in time.
|Old Clovis Complex
|New Clovis Complex
|Folsom Complex
|Time ------------------>
|Projectile Manufacture -- Majority of mass removed by flakes from lateral edges
|Projectile Manufacture -- Majority of mass removed by D&P flakes from proximal and distal ends (D&P reduction)
|Employed Fluting
|Cross-section midway between Proximal and Distal Ends of Projectile
|Rectangular or Plate-like
|Rectangular or Plate-like
|Faces of Point
|Not parallel, but convex to each other.
|Quality of lithic Material Used
|High Quality
|High Quality
|Location on the Landscape
|North American Continent (south of the 60th parallel)
|East of the Rockies ??
|Great Plains and eastern slope of the Rockies.
|Made Blades
|Yes, near quarries.
Paralleling the suggested time line in the above table is a suggested progression from general to specific. Old Clovis biface reduction was accomplished by removing flakes that initiated from the lateral edges, traveled across the face towards the opposite edge, and occasionally reached the opposite edge (outre passé). This type of reduction has been used to create the oldest handaxes to the most modern prehistoric artifacts. It can be considered a universal or general technology that is amenable to wide variations in lithic material and its abundance.
D&P biface reduction used by New Clovis was more specialized than that of Old Clovis. Basically, it was Old Clovis reduction with the addition of the D&P flake that ran from end to end. The D&P flake removed significantly more mass per blow than the flakes originating from the lateral edges and, therefore, reduced the number of blows required in the overall reduction process. The final product, which was flatter and straighter, was achieved with much less time and effort. On the other hand, the D&P reduction process required high quality lithic material (fault free) for the successful removal of the D&P flake. It also required an abundance of that material because of the high failure rate in removing the D&P flake. These requirements suggest that the D&P process developed at and was connected to quarries similar to the Little River Clovis Complex, Hopkinsville quarry. The requirements for a high quality lithic material for the D&P process made New Clovis more dependent on the lithic source than Old Clovis.
Folsom added the anvil to the D&P reduction process. Without an anvil, there was a minimum size biface (preform) that could be planed with free hand percussion. This minimum size was larger than Folsom preforms. By placing the Folsom preform on an anvil, the Folsom people effectively increased the preform's mass and made it possible to plane the smaller preforms.
The suggested trend in lithic material from variable to high quality is also a trend from general to specific. The evidence supporting this trend is based solely on the single Clovis site in the Baker collection, which is described in the Introduction. Prior to studying this site, I believed Old Clovis had consistently used high quality material, as did New Clovis and Folsom. However, it now appears they may have had no special requirements for the best materials. The desire for importing high quality material by New Clovis and Folsom can easily be explained by the development of D&P reduction process and the need to be away from the lithic source.
Adaptibility definitely defines Old Clovis. As indicated in the above table, their areal extent was immense. This is probably a result of duration as much as anything, but it is also indicative of the number of environments they exploited. At the other end of the spectrum, Folsom were highly specialized bison hunters and their areal extent is the smallest of the three. The more environments one exploits, the more generally adapted one has to be to be successful.
The last trait listed in the table is the making of blades. New Clovis made blades as is obvious by this blade core from the the Adams site. Blades and blade cores make up 40% of the tools found on the Adams site (Sanders 1990), and I suspect a similar percentage exits for the other LRCC sites. (Click on the image for a larger version.)
The reader should note that I indicated in the above table that Old Clovis did not make blades. Prior to viewing the LRCC and realizing that there were both the Old and New Clovis complexes, I was an opponent of Clovis making blades and this is evident by my web page, The Clovis First/Pre-Clovis Problem. This opposition came from growing up and living in the Southwest and never seeing Clovis associated with blades2. In 1999 I learned that blades were associated with Clovis at the Gault Site in Central Texas. Learning this still did not shake my belief that Clovis did not make blades. I dismissed the Gault Site as being localized Clovis behavior associated with a quarry site. In 2000 I learned that Clovis was making blades at the LRCC sites. Again, I dismissed them for the same reasons as I dismissed the Gault Site. When I finally got the opportunity to see the LRCC assemblages in the raw, I realized I was viewing a different Clovis. LRCC was New Clovis and my mental template of Clovis from the southwest had been that of Old Clovis. The paradigm walls had begun to crack.
At this writing it appears to me that Old Clovis did not make blades as I have believed my entire life. On the other hand, New Clovis did make blades. And, reader, guess what? Blade manufacture is a specialized form of the D&P reduction process. A blade is a D&P flake because it is designed to travel from one end of the blade core to the other. Every time a blade (D&P flake) is removed it automatically creates a new dome for the next blade. In different words blade technology combines Steps 1 and 2 of the D&P reduction cycle into one step. It is only logical that New Clovis would be making blades at the large, high quality quarries where they were also reducing bifaces with the D&P process.
The implication of Old Clovis not making blades and New Clovis making them is that Clovis blade technology is a New World invention. It is not connected to the Old World Upper Paleolithic. I am aware that this concept is in conflict with the strong desire by most archaeologists to establish a connection to the Upper Paleolithic, but I suggest that blades are not that connection.
This concludes the document. I have suggested a very weak theory on the evolution of Old Clovis, New Clovis and Folsom. The theory is weak because it is supported by very little archaeological data. On the other hand, the theory derives strength from its internal consistency. Additionally, the flake mechanics embedded throughout the document are strong and supported by computer simulations.
I want thank Carl Yahnig for introducing me to the Little River Clovis Complex. If Carl had not contacted me in the spring of 2000, I would still be wondering what was the origin of Folsom and ignoring the New Clovis blades. If the reader would like to contact Carl Yahnig, he can be reached at email@example.com.
1 I have purposely avoided citing actual C14 dates because they are not necessary to present my theory. Additionally, I am not aware of all the dates that are in existence, nor could I take them at face value.
2 I am aware there were some blades found at Blackwater Draw, which I believe represents Old Clovis. However, the percentage of blades in the assemblage is probably less than one tenth of one percentage and I don't believe there are any blade cores. In my opinion an occasional blade in a lithic assemblage is not a cultural trait.

Q: Can I get a stroke or heart attack from erratic blood pressure? I'm suffering from severe depression and anxiety of which I'm getting treatment. I take Doxazosin and Exforge for the BP and Prevastin which keeps my cholesterol low.
A: You can get a heart attack or stroke with normal blood pressure. Uncontrolled blood pressure just increases the chance of this happening. You may want to talk to your doctor about trying the Resperate. Many users find it helps with anxiety in additional to providing better blood pressure control.

So I've been adding a lot of SMT1 demon data lately to pages as well as ripping sprites for them. Everyone cool with that? Have got a pretty good routine down for adding these in by now but if anyone know of any other minor things and corrections I should make to pages while I'm at them? Right now it's at adding the table with the stats in, uploading the sprite and putting it in categories SMT Demon Images and the appropiate Image category of their race/clan/translated name... and there is the problem. This stuff's a mess!
For example, I'm adding in this now and I'm at a bit of a loss on what category I add it to. Do I add it to Snake Images or create a brand new category for Ryuuou Clan Images which I already did with Jaki and Youki? Is there really a need for there to be seperate category pages for all the various names of demon races even if the only difference is if it's a Clan or Race? If it is, is there meant to at least be a unified image gallery or are those also meant to be seperated based on what name the game used that it originates from? I don't know.
I supposed partly related is that I've been adding Redirects for SMT race names that got new, translated names later and are dead links now. One such case is actually Ryuuou. Is this correct? Oh, and hello. I'm new. Snowmanie 16:54, June 11, 2012 (UTC)
- I'd just add it to Snake images. I'll be honest, I don't know why we have categories for the same demon clans but under a different name. Personally, when adding categories, I just use the translated names. Also, welcome! Thanks for all the help!--Otherarrow 17:01, June 11, 2012 (UTC)
- Well alright then. What about in cases like Touki though? Where there is both a category for Touki Race and Touki Clan? What should one... gravitate, towards? -- Snowmanie 17:22, June 11, 2012 (UTC)
- Oh yeah, on another note (is there some other place where one can ask quick questions about editing practices? the closests seems to be the talk page to Manual of Style but that thing was last updated 2010 so I dunno): How should Demon names changing be handled? Ran into this when editing Nezha who is known as Nataku in SMT1 for some reason. There's a redirect in place on the Nataku page already so it's not too much of an issue but I still felt like such a dramatic name change ought to be mentioned in the article somewhere. My method of adding a small note to the Profile Section seem more off the more I look at it though. Maybe it should be Trivia?
- Also, how is this plagarism thing looked upon here? I admit to copy and pasting the info I added to the Barbegazi page from Wikipedia (after fact-checking from a number of other sources of course because such a hilarious demon could not POSSIBLY EXSIST) since it was otherwise completely empty. There was a Talk page however on another article where i later learnt this was a big no-no apperently. Is it a cool thing to do for minor demon pages maybe? Perhaps someone could whip up a template that can be placed on top of offending pages requesting that they be rewritten? Snowmanie 19:07, June 11, 2012 (UTC)
- I think some of the history sections are in fact sporked from Wikipedia, but copy-pasting is usually frowned upon. I wouldn't worry about it, since you are new and all. As for stuff like Nataku/Nezha/Nata Tashi, I think there was talk of merging them all into one page at some point. Anyway, usually, we just say "Demon Most Recent Name, also known as Demon's Other Names, is a demon in the series." or the like.--Otherarrow 19:27, June 11, 2012 (UTC)
- Gnarly. I'll get edit that one then. Guess the only question that remains then is wheather to use Clan or Race then for demon categories. -- Snowmanie 19:34, June 11, 2012 (UTC)
- Hmmm, editing this has led me to realize that my current method of adding in quick links to edit the field in the case of the SMT stats table "NOH" is pretty unstable. I've been adding in a link like this:
[http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/<DemonName>?action=edit§ion=<No.> ?]
- Where the "<No.>" at the end is the number the the SMT Stats section will have in the article. The problem with this is that if someone were to add or delete a section above this one the number will be all wrong and the link will direct to some other below it. I realize that this issue is trivial at most but I see all of this as a learning experience so if someone were to know how to link to the edit page of a specfic section by its name (something like how it's done in the TOC of each page) instead of the specfic place in the article then it would be much appreciated. -- Snowmanie 19:49, June 11, 2012 (UTC)

There was far more, of course, but it seemed best to limit my story to one subject.
We also went up to the Mezzanine where they exhibited art work. My favorites, watercolors naturally, are pictured here.

It's that time of year again. Hot cocoa, warm baths and candles! I know, I know, we don't want to say goodbye to summer....but why not make the best of the season. Old Factory candles can do just that! With 12 different scent sets, you're sure to find one that you'll love! Old Factory candles are hand made right here in the good 'ole USA. Each candle is made with natural soy wax and has self trimming wicks. Each dainty jar is just 2 oz. but is said to burn for a whopping 20 hours! That's just incredible!
So basically....I'm a sucker for cute packaging. Two identical products can be put in different packaging and I'm willing to pay a bit more just for the packaging that I prefer. Anybody else suffer from 'cute packaging syndrome'?! I'm also a sucker for old fashioned, country style products. These candles are that and more! I absolutely love the simple, brown paper/cardboard style packaging that these come in. This would be absolutely perfect for a gift! Heck, you can even have it pre-wrapped with a gift message right from Amazon!
With so many unique scents, it's really hard to choose just one set. Buuuuuuut....I had to so I went with the 'Happy Holidays' set. Yeah...it's a bit early for these scents...I usually wait until after Thanksgiving...but hey...don't judge! ;)
With my set, I received the Christmas Tree, Candycane and Gingerbread scents. My favorite being the Peppermint...but I'm slightly biased to minty scents. Yum! Since I already knew the scents, I grabbed an unsuspecting guest to take a stab at guessing. First was the Christmas Tree. Unfortunately, she wasn't able to pick out the scent, but that is kind of a tough one. Knowing what it was already, I could tell that it was pine-y scented. Then came the Peppermint. Well...that one is pretty easy. However, it isn't overpowering, so it did take a second for her to name the scent. Lastly was the Gingerbread. Literally 2 seconds after opening the top, she said Gingerbread. What!?!? I thought for sure she cheated some how...but nope...it must have literally smelled that identical to actual gingerbread. Pretty crazy, right?! For your convenience, I'll put the complete list of scent sets which by the way are clickable:
Fall Harvest
Pumpkin Spice - Cranberry - Autumn Leaves
Fresh & Clean
Lemongrass - Olive Blossom - Fresh Linen
Coffee Shop
Coffee Bean - Hazelnut - Chai Tea
High as a Kite

Elder and Sister Renlund's joint quest in studying the priesthood and its application offers a model for how men and women can work together in their understanding and teaching about the priesthood.

In addition to its role in role in driving devastating natural disasters, global climate change can also spur outbreaks of infectious diseases such as Zika, malaria and dengue, says a new study by researchers at the University of Colorado in the US.
Climate change presents complex and wide-reaching threats to human health as it amplifies and unmasks ecological and socio-political weaknesses that increase the risk of adverse health outcomes in socially vulnerable regions, said the researchers.
The researchers said these vulnerabilities can happen anywhere. After Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, cases of West Nile disease doubled the next year. Climate change in Africa appears to be increasing cases of malaria. And the recent destruction in Houston, Florida and Puerto Rico due to hurricanes may usher in more infectious diseases in the years ahead.
The study focused specifically on a magnitude 7.7 earthquake that struck coastal Ecuador in April 2016, coinciding with an exceptionally strong El Niño weather event, which is associated with heavy rainfall and warmer air temperatures. They are also linked to outbreaks of dengue fever.
The researchers noticed a 12-fold increase in Zika cases in the earthquake zone. Prior to this, there were only a handful of Zika cases in the whole country. Zika virus is transmitted by mosquitos. Warmer temperatures and increased rainfall from the El Niño, along with a devastated infrastructure and an influx of people into larger cities from the earthquake, likely increased mosquitos and caused the spike in Zika cases.
The researchers suggest El Niño created ideal conditions for Zika-carrying mosquitos to breed and make more copies of the Zika virus. The warmer temperatures and increased rainfall from El Niño have previously been associated with a higher likelihood of dengue outbreaks. Warmer temperatures can also accelerate viral replication in mosquitoes and influence mosquitos' development and breeding habits.
At the same time, the El Niño event brought warmer sea-surface temperatures, which have been shown to correlate with outbreaks of mosquito-transmitted diseases. Estimates from remote sensing data in coastal Ecuador show that sea-surface temperatures were higher than average from 2014-2016.
The team also believes an increase in water scarcity after the earthquake indirectly benefited mosquito development. The quake damaged municipal water systems, forcing people to store water in open containers outside their homes. These served as additional habitats for mosquito larvae.
The new findings could be used by governments to identify and protect vulnerable communities before natural disasters happen. One idea is to develop disease models that can use existing climate models to predict where these vectors will show up due to climate variability. Applying these new models to areas that have pre-existing social vulnerabilities could identify susceptible regions, allowing us to direct healthcare resources there ahead of time."
"It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed."
"Envy comes from wanting something that isn't yours. But grief comes from losing something you've already had."

Good morning. Today's card is using Va Va Valentine for a special request from someone using these adorable socks. Since it is for a girl I knew I wanted to use some extra hearts and lots of sparkle. The heart background panel is a retired Die-Light no longer available but was going to be perfect for the base behind the socks.
The designer paper was my color choices for the card. I added some faux stitching along the border and added to the base. A die cut flourished leaf and some die cut hearts for the side. Sequins and sparkle to finish it off, Voila! I adore how this turned out especially since I know she is going to love it. Thanks for stopping by.

Great TV!
My shows rocked last night! On Will & Grace, Jack faced his bad memories of elementary school and helped out a young kid who seems destined to grow up gay. I'd hate to hear what bigots who think gay people recruit the young would say about the episode, but I thought it was sweet and made me wish I had had a positive gay influence when growing up.
On Sport Night, Dana's brother is being investigated for steroid use.
But Buffy was the best of all – quite possibly the best espisode to date and easily one of the scariest TV shows I've ever seen. Some boogeymen come to town and steal everyone's voice – leading to a 27 minute sequence with no dialogue. The sight of the boogeymen floating through the town while no one could scream was truly frightening. The best part was that Willow made a new witch friend (was there some sexual tension there?) and Riley and Buffy discovered that they each patrol at night. The episode ended with the two of them about to discuss why they were out the night before. Argh! No new episode for at least 2 weeks!

After a wonderful night of food, wine, dancing and vintage dresses i woke up surprisingly chipper this morning at 8 and got straight to work. Just a quick pic to show you how far i've come with my piece. All i have to do, build wise, is drill the large holes in the shelf at the bottom and screw it on. The rest of the work is cosmetic and will probably be done by Wednesday. Really happy with this. What it does mean is i will need to move back downstairs near the collage materials, i've really loved my quiet little corner of the workshop.
P.S.- Its gone really cold here and i am bejumpered. Listening to 6 music online doesn't help as there is constant talk of the fantastic weather we're having in England. I am destined to be forever pale.

Is It Bullying...Or Ordinary Meanness?
What does and doesn't count as bullying, and why it matters.
Posted Oct 01, 2014
If you say the word "bullying" in a classroom full of elementary school kids, here's what happens: Hands shoot up. Everyone has a story about how someone bullied him or her.
Bullying is a serious problem that can have devastating effects. As a clinician, I've seen more than a few adult clients brought to tears by memories of horrifying peer abuse. I've seen kids who feel frightened or wounded by their peers' cruel words or actions, and parents who feel angry or helpless in the face of their child's victimization by other kids.
I'm glad that there's much more awareness now that bullying is not just "normal" kid behavior or a rite of passage, and that entire communities need to work actively to prevent bullying.
But sometimes the "B word" is thrown around too casually.
Definition of Bullying
Researchers have a very specific definition of bullying: Bullying involves deliberate, aggressive acts targeting a particular individual repeatedly, over time, (although some researchers also count a single severe aggressive act), AND it involves a power difference between the bully and the target. In other words the bully is bigger, stronger, tougher, or more socially powerful than the person being bullied, which makes it difficult or impossible for targets of bullying to defend or protect themselves.
A lot of what children call bullying is really just ordinary meanness, because there's no power difference.
I want to be very clear about something: I'm not advocating or defending or excusing bullying or any form of meanness. But I do think that calling every unkind act "bullying" is not helpful.
When we fail to distinguish between bullying and ordinary meanness, we trivialize the very serious cases of peer abuse. Also, calling every act of meanness bullying sends an unhealthy message: It says to kids, "You're fragile. You can't handle it if anyone is even slightly unkind to you."
A child's distress is not the only measure of bullying. For instance, Hearing peers yell, "You're out! Yes, you are!" in a game of kickball might be very upsetting for a child who doesn't believe she's out, but it's probably not bullying. It's something she needs to learn how to handle. We could comfort her, we could teach her coping strategies, but labeling the other kids "bullies" won't help her learn to deal with frustration or manage conflicts.
Meanness is Common Among Kids
Anyone who has spent substantial time with children knows that they are often mean to each other. Debra Pepler at York University and her colleagues, video recorded the playground behavior of children in 1st through 6th grade whose teachers had identified them as either especially aggressive or especially nonaggressive. On average, the aggressive children did some form of mean behavior about every two minutes. But those carefully selected nonaggressive children averaged a mean behavior every three minutes!
Even kids who consider themselves best friends sometimes behave in unkind ways. Preschool and young elementary school friends average just under three conflicts an hour. An observational study of third- through sixth-graders by Steven Asher and his colleagues found a cringe-worthy list of 32 different ways that kids reject each other. This included everything from hitting and kicking, to lengthy arguments along the lines of "Nuh-uh!"/"Uh-huh!" Some forms of rejection were blatant, such as refusing to let someone sit at a lunch table or announcing "You can't be in our club!" Others were more ambiguous. Teasing could be friendly or mean-spirited. Refusing an offer of food could reflect disinterest in that food or concern about "cooties." Impulsivity, immature problem-solving skills, difficulty managing feelings, limited perspective-taking ability, following the crowd, or just experimenting with social power are all factors that could lead kids to do mean things.
Any of these behaviors could be upsetting for a child, and they're certainly not desirable ways to act, but they only "count" as bullying if there's a power difference between the kids. True bullying is a serious problem that requires intervention from adults. Ordinary meanness is common. It's something that kids need to be able to handle (with encouragement and support from caring adults, if necessary) AND to learn to avoid doing themselves.
We adults haven't managed world peace or even perfect marriages, so it's unrealistic to think that our children will always be perfectly kind to each other. And yet, kindness is a worthy goal. As parents, we can help our children cope with the meanness that they will inevitably encounter. And, even more important, we can try to guide them toward more caring responses to their peers.
Fighting Bullying By Helping Kids Look At Their Own Actions
Kids are quick to condemn bullies, but they have trouble seeing the impact of their own behavior. Psychologist Brent Harger found that 5th graders often believed in a false dichotomy between bullies and nonbullies. They assumed that bullies were always mean and since they themselves weren't always mean, they couldn't possibly be bullies. They dismissed anti-bullying messages in their schools as "not relevant for them." They looked at the signs and slogans condemning bullying and thought, "Those bad kids should stop that!" They also believed that joking, retaliating, or making fun of younger students doesn't "count" as bullying.
The key to bullying prevention is not protecting the "good" children from the "bad" bullies; it's helping all children learn to behave in kinder ways. Addressing ordinary meanness paves the way toward more caring communities.
Below is a questionnaire I developed with my colleague Mark Lowenthal. Have your child consider the questions and emphasize that he or she does not have to tell you the answers. The point of this exercise is to increase awareness, and to encourage kind choices in the future, not to force children to admit guilt.
Some Honest Self-Reflection About How We Treat Others…
For each question, decide whether the answer is "Sometimes," "Never," or "Often." Be honest. You will NOT have to share your answers.
1) Have you continued "joking" when you could see that someone was getting upset?
Sometimes Never Often
2) Have you laughed or joined in when you saw someone being picked on?
Sometimes Never Often
3) Have you said things about boyfriends/girlfriends that made someone feel uncomfortable?
Sometimes Never Often
4) Have you laughed at someone who made a mistake or was struggling?
Sometimes Never Often
5) Have you told people that you "hate" another kid?
Sometimes Never Often
6) Have you deliberately called someone a silly name, even after being asked to stop?
Sometimes Never Often
7) Have you made fun of how someone looks, dresses, acts, or talks?
Sometimes Never Often
8) Have you said mean things about others behind their backs?
Sometimes Never Often
9) Have you written or passed notes with mean comments about others?
Sometimes Never Often
10) Have you said, "Oh, no!" or complained when you've had to work with a certain student?
Sometimes Never Often
11) Have you told another kid, "Nobody likes you"?
Sometimes Never Often
12) Have you done unkind imitations of how another kid acts or talks?
Sometimes Never Often
[Note to kids: If you answered "Never" to every question, you're probably not being honest. Everyone makes mistakes and does unkind things sometimes. What's important is to recognize when this happens, try to make it right if you can, and promise yourself you'll do the kind thing next time.]

Brady Bunch: Jan Brady - I Want To Be Popular (FFF,reluc)
by Dr. Bone
Alice saw Jan come in and slam her school books down on the table. The boy that she had wanted to go out with was only using her to get close to Marsha. "It's always about Marsha! Marsha!! Marsha!!! Marsha!!!!" she said storming out of the kitchen.
"Oh! Jan has to learn that sometimes these things don't work out the way they should. I'll go in and..." said Mrs. Brady.
"Um! Mrs. Brady let me go speak to her." Said Alice the Brady's family maid as she started to get out the fixings for Jan's favorite "pick-me-up" sundae. "We are both middle children. We understand each other."
Alice came upstairs and found Jan sobbing in bed. Marsha was trying to comfort her, saying what a jerk Todd was for doing what he did and that she would never go out with him, ever.
Marsha saw Alice nod her head towards the door and took the hint and left. "Look Jan I understand how it is. We are both the middle child."
"Alice I don't want any..." She said looking at the sundae.
"Okay, but look maybe I can help you."
"Well nobody seems to be able to. Mom says it will happen someday, that I will meet the perfect boy for me. Marsha tries to help but she has always been popular. It comes natural to her. And dad just spouts clich' after clich'."
"I know, it is hard but I can help you. Before I was with Sam I used to beat them off with a stick."
"You did?" Jan said, then felt bad about it, as if the way she said it was hurtful to Alice.
"Look next week when the family goes away just say you are not feeling good and we will have the whole weekend to work on it."
Jan felt a little guilty about lying until she realized Marsha would have all the attention on the ski slopes anyway. Then she suddenly felt less guilty.
Once the family had left she went downstairs to Alice's room. "Okay Jan I am going to teach you how to keep a boyfriend, or take someone else's away." She said laughing. "The first thing we are going to do is see what mistakes you make when you are on a date. Now just give me a minute or two." It was more like fifteen minutes until Alice came out of the bathroom. And Jan stood there in surprise. Alice was wearing a black men's suit, with shirt and tie. She had on men's shoes and sox, her hair was greased back and she had no makeup on. She saw Jan was stunned and laughed.
"Don't worry Jan we are going to use some role-play to see where your problem is. Okay say hello." Jan did it so stiffly, she suggested a nod and a wink and to be more flirty. Jan began to relax a bit.
Alice went over to the bed and sat down. "Now suppose we are in the car, sit down next to me. What base do you let the boys get to? First, second...homerun?"she said with a bit of intrigue.
"No I never do that! Mom says boys respect girls that don't do that."
"And they don't get a second date, what do you think Marsha does? She is good looking and all, but I talked to the maid of one of the boys she dates and whoa!!!"
Jan was stunned; it was almost as if her sister was cheating to be popular. "What can I do?" she said sitting down next to Alice.
"Well, when a boy puts his arm around you what do you do?"
"Push it off!" Jan said realizing that was the wrong answer.
"No leave it there, it is not doing any harm to anyone." Alice put her arm over Jan's shoulder. Jan felt a little uncomfortable but left it there.
"Why do they do that?" Asked Jan. Alice told her it was to be closer to her, and also to cop a little feel. "A little feel?" Jan asked and Alice gave the side of Jan's tit the briefest of touches which made Jan throw Alice's arm off of her shoulder.
"And that is why Marsha will always be ahead of you. A grope is not going to harm anyone. Is it going to get you pregnant?" Jan said it would not. "Is it going to hurt your reputation? No you can always later deny it. And it won't leave a mark or stain. So let him. There are different sorts of feels. So sometimes you have to say no."
"Like how?" Jan asked.
"Well there is the brief feel like I just did. Then there is the brush he might make while getting up." Alice said briefly touching Jan's breast. Then there is the out and out grab, only let them do it if they know you really well or you are sure they are a keeper." Alice boldly squeezed Jan's tits, then she reached underneath and lifted her breasts up from underneath. "I won't even get into nipple pinches. There you might just have to slap him good." She said making Jan laugh.
Alice crossed the room and brought back a mirror. "Then there is kissing. I want you to kiss the mirror." Jan did her best kiss but she looked "fish-faced."
"Now do it with your eyes open, so you can see how you look." Jan did so and realized she looked far too tense.
"Look, a kiss is a gift between two people you have to relax or they are going to know how tense you are. Now try it again." Jan adjusted her technique per Alice's instructions. Alice told her she was doing very well. "So let's see if you learned anything." She said telling her to "pucker up. "
"Alice..I can't. You're a girl." Alice told her it was just a small kiss for practice and would mean nothing to her. "I have to see if you have learned anything."
"Well, okay." Jan leaned forward and Alice kissed her on the lips with a quick peck. "Not bad at all, but you need to relax your mouth more."
"Like this?" Jan said doing it again. This time Alice kissed her a bit longer.
"Very good Jan. What about tongues have you ever done that?" Jan told her she hadn't. Alice told her it was not hard just not to stick her tongue too far down and to always make sure her breath was fresh.
"Now some boys will try to cop a feel wile kissing you. Now how you want your relation to continue with them will let you know what to do. But you must be ready for it in advance. If you swat his hand away or jump he will think you are rejecting him and the whole evening will be ruined. So don't be surprised. You have to suppress your natural reflex to pull away."
It made sense to Jan, Alice kissed her again but this time she placed her hand on her breast giving it a slight squeeze. "Very good." Said Alice getting up to make Jan feel more comfortable. Alice did not want to push Jan too quickly...it was to be a long weekend.
She let her relax and asked had she given any boy a hand-job or sucked them off. Jan got a little bit offended but then said she had. Alice said she knew, Jan looked stunned but then she told her maids did talk amongst themselves.
Alice asked her how it had gone and Jan had to confess that it had gone "Not too well. I think I pulled too hard, he said I hurt it, and the other guy, I uh...bit." She said looking down.
"Well, I can teach you and have brought a visual tool, but I don't know if I should, it might make you too popular and I don't know if you can handle that."
Alice had hit the perfect keywords for Jan. "I can handle it." she said quickly.
"Are you sure?" Jan nodded she could. Alice reached down and unzipped the fly of her pants and pulled out a huge flesh colored silicone dildo which she had strapped on.
Jan's eyes went wide. "Now let me see your hand-job technique." Alice said clinically, putting Jan at ease. Jan reached out and gave it a tentative tug. Alice told her "First off you need some lube and second off don't tug it to hard, let your hand glide over it. "Now if you don't have lube spit in your hand, it may be nasty put it will get the job done, this is no time to be a lady."
Jan spat in her palm and grabbed the cock rubbing it. Alice told her she was doing good and told her to twist her hand around it. Alice complimented her on her technique making her smile. "Now your hand will get tired, sometimes guys will distract themselves to make you work longer, so you have to combat that with kissing and feels. Let him feel you tits so he will cum quicker.
Alice reached out and felt Jan's breasts as she jerked her off. Alice kissed her making fake moaning sounds to provide her feedback. "Okay enough! That was great! You would have gotten the guy off in a few minutes. Now we have to work on blow-jobs unless that would be too much for you."
Jan paused and then asked, "Alice, what we are doing it's not lesbian. Right?"
Alice acted a bit insulted, "Jan that is why I took the time to dress up this way, and all you have done is played with a big fake cock. And the reason you are doing it is to get boys. Right?"
Jan nodded. "Now the classic position is with the girl kneeling in front of the guy. The first thing you have to do is grip it at the base, that way he can't shove too much down your throat. Though some guys do find it sexy if you gag. Don't ask me why. Now brushing it with your teeth is okay but not too hard."
Jan got on her knees in front of Alice and grasped the silicone cock, she hesitated, for some reason she was slightly turned on and did not know why. "Now kiss it." Alice told her, Jan complied then took it in her mouth. Alice told her to relax her mouth and stroke the shaft while she did so. "Good Jan. Now the problem is like the hand-jobs some guys have a lot of staying power and can make you do it until your jaws are tired. So what you have to do is stimulated them so they finish quicker." Jan asked her how she could do that. "Well, you can play with your tits while you suck them off. Go on try again."
Jan groped her own breasts while she sucked on the cock. Alice smiled pleased telling her to open her blouse a bit. Jan, not seeing the harm and did so. "That's great Jan, if I was a guy I would have been near coming. The other thing guys like to see is the girl rub themselves." Jan looked at her puzzled then realized what she had meant.
"Come on reach up there and rub yourself. Don't fake it guys can tell, rub yourself, that's it. No put your fingers inside your panties and keep sucking. Yes take it deeper you little slut!" Jan froze at that last comment but Alice recovered saying that was just a little thing guys said when they were really excited. Alice started to stroke Jan's hair softly telling her to rub her pussy faster.
Jan moaned and then despite herself came. Panicked she got up. What have I done? This is wrong. Am I a lesbian?" Alice let her calm down telling her she was not.
"Look there is the other thing you must know."
"What is that?" said Jan a little leery.
"You must know how to put a rubber on a guys cock." Alice said going over to her draw and getting out a big handful of rubbers.
Jan and her laughed as it was so hard to open the wrappers. She finally got it opened and managed to roll it onto the cock. Alice showed her skills by taking off the one Jan had put on and put another one on one handed. Jan was impressed.
"And remember for all you do for a guy he should do something for you. For instance you jerked and sucked me off and the least I can do is return the favor." Before Jan could react Alice had her hand between her legs and was rubbing her pussy though her panties.
"This isn't lesbian, is it?" She asked as she came. Alice told her no and snaked her fingers inside Jan's panties taking delight in feeling her wet tight pussy. Alice kissed her lips telling her that it was not.
Then Alice got Jan to stand up. "Take off your panties, if we want to be sure you are not a lesbian there is one other thing we should do."
"Which is?" Jan asked.
"Fuck!" Alice said. Jan hesitated then Alice reached up her dress and the panties came down. Jan stepped out of them. Alice kissed Jan hard. Then she lubed up the cock.
"This is just to go over how to be fucked, right?" Jan asked as Alice got on top of her tossing the suit jacket away. She spread Jan's legs wide and pushed the dildo inside of her.
"Yeah! That's right I am going to teach you the ultimate secret. Of what men want." Alice pumped the dildo in out of Jan as her hands opened up Jan's dress and slid it off, followed by Jan's bra. Alice admired how rock hard her nipples were.
"Now before the big secret what do you do if he brought a friend along to fuck you?" Before Jan could answer that Alice said "If you are really into the relationship you might have to let him do it even if it means that he thinks you are some sort of slut."
Jan did not know what she was talking about until Alice came into the room again, or rather her identical cousin Emma. Emma was dressed in jeans, a black leather jacket, boots, and most menacing of all she had a huge black dildo strapped on and was lubing it up. Alice pulled out and Emma pushed the big black cock into Jan and began to fuck her as Alice stripped. Then Alice, naked except for the strap on reentered Jan as Emma stripped.
"Oh my! I'm not a lesbian now? Am I?" Jan said.
"No, not till we tell you the secret which is: boys love lesbians." Said Alice pulling the dildo out of Jan she leaned forward and stuck her tongue into Jan's blond cunt.
"Stop!" Jan pleaded but Alice kept licking until Jan came like she never did before, ever. Emma joined in and between the two they held her at a near state of climax for nearly fifteen minutes, then when they let her cum her entire body shook.
"Now you are a lesbian, or at least bi." Jan looked puzzled for a moment at the last term but then she got it. The women kept teasing her cunt making Jan say how much she loved pussy and hated boys. And some of it might have been true.
"Now you are our slave." Said Emma as she took a large black leather collar and put it around Jan's neck locking it into place.
Then Alice went around the bed and lowered her shaved pussy onto Jan's face slowly. She leaned forward and pinched Jan's nipples as Emma pushed that big rubber cock back into her pussy.
The smell was strong and musky. Alice rubbed her pussy across Jan's face several times until finally she felt Jan kiss her snatch then lick it. They had done it, they had converted Jan. Jan felt the dildo slide out of her replaced by Emma's skilled tongue.
The fucking and pussy licking continued for another hour then the women rested. Alice and Emma took Jan into the bathroom and with an electric clipper gave her a buzz cut in the bathroom that made her more fit in her new role better. In some ways she liked it as she now looked way different from Marsha.
The two cousins took off their strap-ons and taught Jan the finer points of cunt licking and pussy on pussy rubbing. They took the big black dildo Emma had worn and strapped it on Jan and had her fuck them both, they were impressed on how rough she was.
"That was good but don't get too cocky." Alice said laughing at her own pun as Jan pulled the dildo out of her pussy. Emma went behind Jan and unstrapped the dildo, then she roughly pushed Jan down onto the bed and pulled her hands behind her bed.
"What are you doing?" Jan said as she felt the handcuffs snap around her wrists. Alice got out the blindfold and put it over Jan's eyes. A pillow was stuffed under her stomach raising her ass into the air.
"A little advance training. Emma put her mouth up to Jan's pussy, she spread her lips and then spit into it. Jan then felt something slide into her pussy, it was not a dildo. Then she felt something else push into her ass. It was small and slid right in. Emma turned the remote on that linked the two vibrators and they began to buzz.
"What? Oh shit!" said Jan as she came. "This is too much. Ugh!"
She felt a hand at the back of her head push her face into Alice's pussy. She started to lick it. Then the two cousins reversed positions, taking their time to train Jan in the finer points of sex slavery and cunt licking...
At the end of the night Jan finally put back on her dress and crawled up the stairs spent.
Over the next two weeks Jan discovered a power she had not had before. Her new buzz cut and indifference towards the boys had them crawling out of the woodwork to date her. She had gone on a date or two using the methods Alice had taught her and the guys came back wanting more, but Jan felt bored. As if having the prize was not as good as its pursuit.
Jan one afternoon was talking to Alice and she said that there was a girl that was very interested in her, a Blair Warner and maybe she could set it up.
"But if they find out I like girls, couldn't I get in trouble?" Alice assured her not if she played it right.
Then there was the turning point where Marsha came in all frustrated saying she was having problem with boys. "Maybe I ought to get my hair cut short like you."
Jan smiled and told Marsha, "Maybe you should go ask Alice."

My wife, Kirsten Johanna Allen, and I are fortunate to live in Salt Lake City on the edge of the Great Basin to the west and Wasatch and Rocky Mountains to the east, and in Torrey, Utah on the Colorado Plateau. At night I like to take advantage of the light pollution free dark skies of the Plateau to capture deep sky objects with a CCD or DSLR camera attached to various lenses and telescopes. During the day the red rock country and lands about the West beckon. I am the co-founder and a board member of Torrey House Press, a nonprofit book publishing company dedicated to conservation through literature, where co-founder Kirsten is the publisher and executive director. I strive to help conserve the native grasses on our mountains, water in our streams, and our dark skies overhead.
Although they do not necessarily know it, I have my posterity in mind when I post here on my website.

The Marriage Ref
Here's a little animation jobbie I did at Passion Pictures.
It's the title sequence for NBC's latest entertainment show 'The Marriage Ref', produced by Jerry Seinfeld.
I got asked to animate Jessica, Jerry's wife.
It was great to figure out baseball moves, not immediately a sport I'm affluent in. But thinking about it...which sport is? :)
The animation was originally done in old fashioned 2D, but due to the workload I animated my scenes directly in Flash. It saved a lot of time in the clean up stage.
I'm happy to find out that the difference between the flash and pencil animation isn't too obvious. But if you want to make up your own mind, the whole animation is below, or you can find a bigger movie here.

It has been going on for many years, but here is a service that carries legendary brands associated directly with the development of medical equipment and surgical tools. The surgical tools Houston distribution started in the late seventies. Around that time, well known brands to the medical fraternity like Zeiss, Radionics and BrainLab were being introduced. Dutch Ophthalmics and BFW are two more manufacturers that come to mind. Today, all medical practitioners know full well why it is so important for them to have a backup plan for their medical equipment and surgical tools. Because what do they do when parts and instruments breakdown?
This is why many medical practitioners patiently accept appointments from numerous sales representatives from across the country. Somewhere down the line, an exceptional sales rep is going to come up with a brilliant backup plan for the medical practitioner. The distribution center started in the late seventies now runs across eight states and is being well serviced by a formidable team of no less than eighteen reps. This, in case you did not already know this, is now a multimillion dollar business. While it does work well for their business to service their clients accordingly, the distributors of the best possible medical equipment and surgical tools are, nevertheless, partnering effectively with the medical fraternity, providing clinic bases solutions and innovative technological ideas, informed by integrity and experience.
This partnership, incidentally, includes collaborations with medical device companies and healthcare service providers, particularly those that provide the financing models to produce cost effective treatment and care for both doctors and patients. At the rate that technologies are developing, these distributors and their health service industry sector partners need to be abreast at all time. While they preserve their exemplary reputation, they are serving the public better.
