Last Saturday, I found myself hanging out with Niccole again, only this time, we were safe from road rage in Flagstaff. We were at her house making sugar scrubs. Niccole is a Young Living Essential Oils Representative. She has been using and diffusing the oils from the Young Living collection for several months now, keeping her family healthy during spring fever season, colds, the flu and stress of everyday life. Using her Young Living diffuser, she adds oils everyday to ward off the germs her kindergartner might bring home. She stuffs cotton balls infused with oil in the vents of her car to purify the air, and she takes baths with stress-relieving oils at the end of the day. Whatever she's doing she's doing right because somehow, her two children, ages 6 years and 6 months, have stayed away from the sick-and-icky arena all season long. Meanwhile, my kids are on round two of fevers.
So when she invited me to her Sugar Scrub party, I thought it would behoove me to investigate what all this oil hype was all about.
Ever since I was a massage school student, I have heard about this "essential oils" stuff. I stayed away from it for the most part because it seemed rather daunting. There is literally an oil for everything. There are also blends, and potencies that vary from brand to brand. The possibilities are endless with essential oils. I am more of a simple person, and the thought of sorting through all the details and uses of oils seemed overwhelming, so I just never got into it.
But over the past few months, I have heard Niccole talk about her oils collection. She too felt overwhelmed with the essential oils scene, until she attended a sugar scrub party hosted by a mutual friend of ours. The woman hosting the party broke it all down for Niccole and made it understandable, and digestible. Shortly after attending her first sugar scrub party, Niccole signed up to buy and sell the Young Living Essential Oils.
While I sat at Niccole's dining room table last Saturday, she explained to me how she is always learning something new about the essential oils. She showed me a spiral-bound book that came with her kit. It was basically an encyclopedia of how to use the essential oils.
"There is just too much information to remember. So I am regularly referring to the book. I read and re-read it quite often, just to make sure I'm using the right oils," Niccole explained to me.
That made a lot of sense to me. Why try to remember it all? There is literally thousands of years of wisdom to keep locked in your brain if you try to just "know" everything about essential oils. Seeing the spiral book made me feel like learning about oils was more attainable. I didn't have to be the encyclopedia, I could read one that was already created.
We used small glass jars to make our sugar scrubs, adding olive oil and avocado oil as the base. Then we dropped in the oils. I made two different scrubs; one for my psoriasis, and one for my face. For the psoriasis scrub, I used a blend of avocado and olive oil. I added tea tree oil and lavender (I forget how many drop of each.) Then I scooped up 1/4 cup of sugar and added it to the jar, swirling it with my popsicle stick. I removed the stick and smelled the jar to see how the scent changed after adding the sugar. I added a few more drops of each oil, then another 1/4 cup of sugar. I stirred it all up with my stick, and I liked the scent and the consistency enough to be finished with it. It was that easy!
Moving on to my face scrub I used the same method, except the oils I used were lemon and peppermint. I couldn't wait to use it on my face! It smelled so clean and refreshing! I added 3 different 1/4 scoops to this blend to make it more on the dry side, and less on the oily side. Also, I used only the avocado oil in this jar. I wanted to see how it would work on my face since I had never used it before.
One week later, I am so happy with the two scrubs that now live in my shower. I feel so much better about what I am putting on my skin. (And, I have plans to ask Corey for a starter kit for my Mother's Day present ;) I like knowing that I have supported a friend as well as benefitted from nature's wisdom.

How to make Bennington healthy: Panel addresses roots of Bennington health crisis
BENNINGTON >> On Thursday evening, Bennington College hosted a panel discussion designed to determine how best to address the multi-faceted health care difficulties facing many Benningtonians.
The panel focused their discussion on the social determinants of health, essentially the environmental factors that affect an individual's health and access to health care. To that end, professionals from many different parts of the community were invited to speak on the panel. The group was made up of private practice primary care physician Dr. Avery Wood; Dr. Bernard Bandman of the Center for Communication in Medicine; Billie Lynn Allard, Administrative Director of Care Management, Transitions of Care and Ambulatory Services at Southwestern Vermont Medical Center; Dr. Mike Brady, who operates the dental program at Molly Stark Elementary School; Cathy Vogel of the Vermont Department of Health's Bennington office; Jennifer Fels of the Blueprint for Health and Spoke Program; Nissa Walke of the Vermont Department of Health's Bennington office; Sadie Fischesser of the Vermont Agency of Human Services; Shires Housing Executive Director Stephanie Lane; and Sue Andrews, executive director Greater Bennington Interfaith Community Services, which operates the Kitchen Cupboard and the Bennington Free Clinic.
The moderators for the evening were Susan Sgorbati, director of Bennington College's Center for the Advancement of Public Action, which hosted the event, and State Senator Brian Campion (D-Bennington). Many other elected officials were in attendance for the event, including several members of the Bennington Select Board and State Rep. Mary Morrissey (R-Bennington).
"This is the first time, perhaps ever, that we've all had the opportunity to come together, break down the silos we all live in, and have some really important conversations," said Campion, "I think all of us that have run for public office in this state have knocked on doors, and knocking on doors and talking to one's constituents gives you an incredible look into their lives. Their successes, their failures, and their struggles. And one of their struggles continues to be health care. It's heartbreaking. There are families out there that still can't access health care or dental services and aren't eating properly." Campion said he saw the event as being the first of hopefully several similar conversations.
SVMC Chief Executive Officer Thomas Dee gave the opening remarks for the evening, and described the panel as a great opportunity. "A health care system treating people with CT scanners and linear accelerators, those are all great for the high-end needs," he said, "but it does not deal with the chronic illnesses that we're dealing with. That's what's driving the health care system and health care dollars."
"We're in it for the long haul," he said, "We're in it to partner and work with the people in this room tonight, and we're excited about trying to change how we provide our care, and I think we can be very successful if we all work together. This is not about the medical center controlling things. If we try to control everything, we will fail. We have to work with the people with the expertise, and we are trying to change how we do business."
"I see Bennington through a very specific lens," said Andrews, "I'm dealing with people who live in and around poverty all the time." She said that some of the most significant factors that influence a person's health are not their access to things like CT scans, but instead more basic things: food, shelter, and safety. "My organization sees people every day who are struggling with the social determinants," she said, adding that income is the most important factor of all, "What's the model of a healthy community? One with money."
The panel discussion, including a question and answer session with the audience, lasted about 90 minutes, after which time everyone in the room understood that the conversation on how to improve Bennington's health has to continue.
"What is our vision of what we want this community to be?" Bennington Select Board member Michael Keane asked the gathered crowd, "I would argue that that vision of a healthy community is as admirable of a vision as you'll see. For me, whatever the next steps that happen, they need to happen in the context of that vision."
"One thing we're discovering in the health system," said Dee, "is that our future is not how we develop things up on the hill off of Dewey Street, it's how we get integrated into the community."

Last night I had the honor of visiting Dick at his home in California to thank him in person for his time, effort and support of the B9 build off. I know everybody absolutely loved the interview that Dick did at the build off. It was one of the main highlights! The experience was humbling and amazing. Guy Vardaman was with me and Dick proceeded to tell us about his experiences with the show as well as another sci-fi show he did work on called Space Patrol. If you want to see pictures of a very young Dick Tufeld, look on page 256 of that book. I barely recognized the man!! He then showed us around his home, we saw some very interesting Lost in Space memorabilia just lying around, and then we got to see his pride and joy…his grandchildren. Awesome! What a visit!!! One I will not soon forget!! I think it would be neat if Dick had a full sized robot in his house!!! He seemed to like that idea as well!
what an amazing voice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Watch the show when i was a kid in brooklyn N.Y I really thought
it was a real robot, specially when they took the bubble head off
on the show, I was total confused and wanted a robot just like the one on the series. I kept telling my dad it was real a real robot
and back them he just laugh and said no son theirs a man operating it from the inside. I still didnt believe it so they did a fine job fooling everyone. It was one of my favorite shows of all time
thanks for the memories.
Very cool Jerry!

December Recap
Make a felt Christmas tree for E
This never happened, and I'm okay with that. Maybe if I start this project in October, it will be done by before December of this year. I think E will enjoy it more this next Christmas anyways.
Here is what I decided to work on instead. Felt food! E got a play kitchen for Christmas, so I've been making her food out of felt and she loves it. I have a felt food board on my Pinterest if you are wondering where I got the ideas from.
Memorize 4 new scripture verses Some of these verses were hard to swallow when I thought about applying them to my life. My aim for this year it to live 1st Thessalonians 5:16-18. I want to rejoice in the good and the bad situations; be in constant communication with the Lord through prayer; and walk in gratitude no matter what circumstance I'm facing. If that's God's will for me, I want to do it. I want to be obedient this year and follow His calling wherever that takes me.
Go on 2 dates with Isaac
December was a difficult time to fit 2 dates into with the holidays and everything. The only date we went on was a whole night to ourselves. E's grandparents took her for the night so we ordered Chinese food and watched a movie. I think instead of setting a goal for 2 dates per month, we will plan on just one. That way we can plan for more exciting date nights.
Continue doing 4 art projects with E, one per week
This month, I didn't focus on art, instead I tried to do activities with E that involved fine motor. We played with play dough, bathtub painting (click here to see the recipe), color sorting with felt, and shaving cream with a mirror (click here to see how to do this).
Find a bookshelf for the nursery,
and a bed frame for E's bed
We haven't found a bookshelf for the nursery yet, but E's grandparents got her a beautiful sleigh bed for Christmas.
Start putting decorations on walls in E's room and the nursery
I've finally decided where I want things to go on the walls of E's room, but I have yet to physically put them there. We've decided to paint the nursery because of holes in the wall and marks that don't come out. So that's why we haven't put anything on the walls yet. Painting and decorating will go on January's goal list.
Spend some high quality family time enjoying the fun activities of Christmas and winter snow
December wasn't a great month for snow. We did go sledding a couple of times, and E loved helping her dad shovel our driveway. As far as Christmas activities go, we did a few fun things as a family. We spent a night driving around our city and looking at lights. E had her first cup of hot chocolate, and of course we also made Christmas cookies.
Continue going to the gym twice a week
This hasn't been easy. There was a week when I only went once because of a nasty cold that hit our family. I'm hoping to continue this as long as I can. There will come a time soon when I'll have to change-up my workout routine, but until then I'm walking on the treadmill, lifting weights, and stretching.
Get a family photo of the four of us for Christmas
We did finally get a photo of our family on New Years Day. Isaac and I were both sick during the holidays, so we had to wait until everyone was fully recovered.
Bake Christmas cookies with E
E loved this activity! It was so much fun for her, and she loved the rolling-pin the most. Flour was everywhere, and she also got a taste of raw cookie dough (which she didn't really enjoy). Next year I'm going to have her help me with frosting the cookies.
Make way for the new dishwasher
Our Christmas gift to each other this year was a new dishwasher. It has been installed and works great! E has been loving this new contraption and helps us take the clean dished out of the dishwasher.
Take E to the zoo as much as possible
We were able to go twice in December. E's favorite thing to do is kiss the turtle statue. It's incredibly cute. She's able to walk around the zoo more than ever, which is wonderful for wearing her out…and me.
January Goals
- Memorize 4 new scriptures
- Go on a date with Isaac (Which will consist of actually leaving the house) to see the last Hobbit movie
- Find guard rail for E's new bed and a ladder
- Start having E sleep in her new room for naps and eventually overnight
- Do 4 fun activities with E, one per week.
- Finish baby's Narnia mobile
- Paint Nursery
- Spring Cleaning (Organize pantry, linen closet, and file cabinet)
- Make and send out E's birthday invitations
- Make a garland for E's room and hang frames on her walls
- Find a bookshelf for the nursery

The Mythical Man-Month: Essays on Software Engineering (Anniversary Edition)
by Frederick P. Brooks, Jr.
322 pages, $24.69
Anybody who has hung around the technical end of large software development projects has at least heard of The Mythical Man-Month by Fred Brooks. This account of large-scale software development is one of the classic texts in the field of system software development.
Brooks, now a professor on the forefront of virtual reality research, was a principal manager of the IBM OS/360 project, one of the largest system software projects of the 1960s. The book, originally published in 1975, combined his firsthand experience at managing such a large project and then-current research on software engineering management. Addison-Wesley has taken advantage of the book's twentieth anniversary to publish a new edition with four additional essays.
Many maxims that are common wisdom in software engineering management today have their origins in this book: Adding additional manpower to a late software project only makes it later ("Brooks' Law"); software development schedules are invariably optimistic; a great programmer can be 10 times more productive than an average one; designs must be complete before implementation begins. On each of these points, Brooks draws extensively from published research and his own experience. On the design issue, for example, he writes, "It is a very humbling experience to make a multimillion-dollar mistake, but it is also very memorable." The "mistake" in this case was in starting a team of 150 programmers on implementation before the system design was complete.
Brooks goes on to suggest solutions for many of the pitfalls in software development, from how to organize a small team on a particular task to how the overall scheduling and management can work. Communications among those developing the software is one of the most important aspects of successfully building a large software system, and Brooks spends a couple of chapters on this topic alone. He also deals with system optimization and testing issues.
New Chapters, New Topics
The anniversary edition is an update from the original text. Rather than revising the text, however, Brooks opted to expand it, adding several new chapters. These include a well-known paper from 1986, "No Silver Bullet," which predicted that software engineering would not experience anywhere near the rate of advance that other aspects of computer technology have enjoyed.
"No Silver Bullet" examines past breakthroughs in software engineering (such as interactive programming, high-level languages, and unified programming environments) and compares them to technologies that were emerging when the paper was written: Ada, object-oriented programming, artificial intelligence, expert systems, automatic program verification, and graphical programming. Brooks correctly predicted that none of these technologies would produce advances for software development at the same rate of advance seen in hardware engineering.
While Brooks' assertion in this essay has proven correct, the paper sparked a significant amount of discussion in the field, which he addresses in a subsequent chapter. In another chapter added for this edition, he summarizes the results of The Mythical Man-Month research in a concise outline, occasionally adding commentary.
In the final chapter, "The Mythical Man-Month after 20 Years," Brooks comments on how changes in the field have affected the results from the original book. Some of the observations have held up quite well, such as the need for conceptual integrity and the importance of an architect to oversee the design of a large project. The assertions raised in the original book, such as the "man-month" being a useless measure, and Brooks' Law also still ring true two decades later.
In looking back, Brooks is most surprised by the explosion of the personal computer field, which has made computing accessible to many more people in many more ways than he foresaw in 1975. It has also had a major impact on software development. For example, the emergence of standardized user interfaces (such as the MacOS, Windows, and Motif) and off-the-shelf, shrink-wrapped packages have dramatically changed how software is developed. Solutions that used to require expensive custom development can now be purchased at a local store. Because of advances in hardware, computer power is rarely even an issue in most software development today. New techniques, such as canned frameworks, allow software to be incrementally "grown" rather than written sequentially from beginning to end.
For anybody involved in large software projects, The Mythical Man-Month remains one of the most useful texts in the field. Although it is 20 years old now, many of the observations and results Brooks reported then hold true today. The new edition is a good reason to revisit this classic text.

Offshore Energy
How much can change in one generation? Let's take a look at the current generation entering your workforce born between 1980 and 2000; the Millennials. This generation grew up rarely hearing the phrase, "You can't do that." They have always known what a computer is, have no concept of the breakthrough of the bag phone and are just now discovering that records (vinyls) have songs on both sides. Easy access to infinite knowledge has always been at their fingertips via the internet.


text: Spearfishing FAQ's 1. What is the difference between a Spearfishing and Scuba Diving Wetsuit? Although both Scuba Diving and Spearfishing suits are both made out of Neoprene, the similarities between the two pretty much stop there. The reason for this is because a Spearfishing suit warms our body in an entirely different way. When we are Spearfishing, our main focus is to slow our heart rate and minimise our movement so we can maximise our breath hold, and not scare away the fish. We are creating very little natural body heat by utilising these techniques, so an Open Cell Wetsuit is required. Open Cell Neoprene is basically bare neoprene that when worn, is designed to stick to your skin. Because there are no zips used on a Spearfishing suit either, the suit is basically watertight, and very little if any water gets inside the suit. You need to use some kind of lubricant to help get the suit on, but once this dries you will be able to spend hours in the water without getting cold. This is simply because water cannot enter the suit, and the neoprene retains and reflects body heat that is created by you. 2. What is the right length Speargun for me? The best length Speargun for you is the one that is best suited for the conditions you most often dive in, and the species you most regularly target. There is no point owning a Speargun if the visibility doesn't allow you to see the tip of the shaft. One myth that needs to be dispelled is that a longer Speargun does not necessarily mean more power, you can just as easily have a smaller length gun such as a 750mm or 900mm that is just as powerful as an 1150mm or 1250mm Speargun. Even a small Speargun such as a 750mm has an accurate range from eyesight of 4.5mm, so if the visibility is only 5 or 6 metres then that is the type of length you should be using. Smaller length Spearguns (anything up to 1150mm) are great for using around the reef and in limited visibility. Reef fish such as Butterfish, Moki and Snapper tend to move around a lot quicker so you need a shorter length gun so you can track them in the water much more effectively. Longer Spearguns are used for much clearer Bluewater, and areas such as pinnacles and off-shore reefs. When targeting Kingfish or other Bluewater species such as Kahawai or Trevally, a longer gun will be much better because it will give you more range. The fish won't come as close to you when the visibility is better! If you are looking for a good all round length Speargun to cover all of your bases, then anything from 1000mm to 1150mm will be your best fit… 3. How often should I Re-Rig my Speargun? Re-rigging your Speargun is something that Spearos often overlook, and it can have dire consequences if your rigging is not maintained. A lot of people have had that horrible feeling when a trophy Kingfish or Snapper gets away because the nylon snaps on a weak point!!! A good rule is to always check your rigging (nylon, crimps, bungee, and pigtail swivel) before and after every day's diving. Always check the full length or the nylon by running your two fingers down it. If you can feel any small nicks or worn areas, re-rig your gun, a good sized fish will easily exploit these weak points. Take a little extra time and check around the areas in which the nylon loops through the shaft and the pigtail swivel, and also where the nylon is crimped. These are high wearing areas, and it is very easy to miss these at a glance. If the nylon has lost its clarity and has gone a "milky" colour, again re-rig your Speargun. Finally, check your bungee by pulling firmly on it and extending the bungee its full length. Check to see if there is any cracking or sun damage on the rubber. If the rubber does fail, chances are you won't lose your fish, but it becomes very niggley reloading your gun as you will now have excess nylon and bungee cord floating around everywhere! 4. I don't have a boat, can I still go Spearfishing? Yes most definitely!! Ask any Spearo, and they will tell you that some of their finest catches have been only metres from the shore! Shore Diving is a very cost effective and non-time consuming way to get out Spearfishing. Any area off the beach that has some kind of reef structure will hold fish. And you will be surprised at what kind of fish these small structures can hold… From the very top of the North Island through to the bottom of the South Island there is some fantastic Shore diving to be had. Areas such as Kaikoura, Wellington's South Coast, The Coromandel and North Auckland's Discovery Coast, are just some areas that you can walk straight in off the beach and go Spearfishing. A good tip to find out if the area is going to be good for Diving is to look at the coastal area above the water that surrounds it. The underwater topography generally follows that of what is above water. Look out for headlands running into the ocean, or broken rocks or boulders along the shoreline. The action under the water might well surprise you! 5. Why should I use a float and a floatline? In my opinion, a float and floatline are the most important pieces of safety equipment that you can have. In the height of summer with boats buzzing around everywhere, Spearos are very hard to be seen as you are either under the water, or very little of you is showing when you are on the surface. A bright orange float with a dive flag on it means that your chances of being seen by boaties are much greater. By Law, any boat that passes by a Float and Flag must stay at least 200m away from the float, or if they do have to pass through that 200m circumference, slow down to 5 knots or less. A coke bottle or something similar generally doesn't cut it. Most skippers will often mistake this for some kind of recreational Cray pot or longline. Plus it is nearly impossible to be seen, especially in the fading light. A floatline with a fish stringer on one end is also a great idea. This allows you to store your fish on the floatline so you don't have to swim back to the boat or the shore each time you shoot a fish to unload them. The fish will float at the end closest to the buoy, keeping them up off the bottom, and a safe distance away from you, just in case anything bigger than you should show up. Plus they create a pretty god berley trail!!! 6. Where are all of the fish? Good question, the only way to find the fish is to get out under the water, and start the hunt. So what are you waiting for? If the weather is no good, then check out our Species ID Videos. They might give you a few pointers.

text: London - Philippe Coutinho has been left out of Liverpool's squad to face Manchester City this weekend over his fitness but manager Jurgen Klopp said the Brazilian did nothing "unforgivable" during Barcelona's pursuit of him.The playmaker, who returned from international duty this week, was linked with a move to the Catalan giants following the departure of his compatriot Neymar to Paris Saint-Germain but Liverpool refused to budge.Coutinho has not yet played for Liverpool this season, with the club citing a back injury, but he joined up with his national side for World Cup qualifiers and made two substitute appearances against Ecuador and Colombia, scoring against the former.That, however, has not been enough to prove his fitness to Klopp, who stressed that fitness was the only reason why the 25-year-old would not be lining up at the Etihad on Saturday."I can explain it a little - maybe a few of you have had a split in a good relationship, with your wife or whatever, and it is not good to think about the time you were split," said Klopp."It was not the most easy time, but that is the transfer window. It is not the first time and it won't be the last time in history when similar things will happen.""I really think we handled it really well," Klopp added. "Not all the things in newspapers were 100 percent right but it is normal a lot of things were coming up in a situation like this."But nothing I am aware of was unforgivable. The most important thing is no one told me anything where I thought 'Oh, that is too much'."He came in yesterday, accepted 100 percent the situation - I didn't even have to say anything about it."Klopp praised Coutinho's attitude, saying he was in a good mood and training had been positive."Before he went to Brazil he couldn't train for about three weeks so that means we need to try to prepare him for the rest of the season and that is quite difficult with our schedule," said Klopp."So I decided to leave him out of the squad for City so we can use these four or five days for proper training."Liverpool, who thumped Arsenal 4-0 in their last match before the international break, are second in the Premier League after three matches, with two wins and a draw.Pep Guardiola's big-spending City have the same number of points but trail Liverpool on goal difference.

Racing the Union's blockade of Confederate ports
The American Civil War (1861-1865) offered rich pickings to qualified seamen and shipowners looking for quick profits. The Union blockade of southern ports was beginning to have an effect on Confederate trade. But any ship which steamed safely through the blockade could command high prices for its cargo. On the homeward journey, if you were lucky, large profits could be made on a cargo of cotton which was in big demand in Britain.

Text description provided by the architects. Deakin University's Burwood Highway Frontage Building provides new academic and high level research spaces directed towards accommodating the University's Faculty of Health plus a number of administrative and support areas.
The Burwood Highway Frontage is an eight-level tower connected to a five-level podium building, running between the two main entrances of Deakin University in Melbourne. Envisioned as a pivotal building for the campus, the architectural intention centred around two key concepts: the spatial composition required by the functional brief, and the client's aspiration to create a gateway building for the campus.
In order to achieve these two intersecting briefs, the building was oriented away from the southern edge and the highway, creating two north-facing courtyards that act as social gathering spaces for the public and university community, while also reinforcing and extending the landscape nature of the Burwood campus.
With a gross floor area of approximately 17,000 sqm, the massing for the building was significant, especially juxtaposed with the much finer, residential urban grain of Burwood. This was broken into two clear forms: one taller in gold to accentuate the entry into the campus, and the other in contrasting silver to hold the edge of the main road and respond to the public realm. This colour scheme sought to expand on the typology of building stocks much like those in Brasília where entire building façades are clad in a single colour of monolithic louvres. Keeping the coloured finishes to essentially two strengthens the main building forms and their presence to the campus.
The general concept of the base structure is in line with Le Corbusier's Maison Dom-ino, allowing free-form planning to occur throughout building. A significant amount of in-situ concrete was used as a finished surface.
Concrete was also a key ingredient in the creation of the flowing landscape forms that constitute the public realm. Applying a crisper material like aluminium for the louvres to the majority of the provided a strong contrast with this abundance of brutalist concrete. The number of materials used was reduced to create a monumental architectural language.
The interior was considered as a new academic workplace, providing high level research spaces for the Faculty of Health that are more akin to contemporary workplace environments than a traditional, cellular layout. The design also provides task, social and rest spaces; promotes collegiality; and connects departments, students and faculty within the building.
The provision of two external courtyards provided the opportunity to improve connectivity and activity, increasing collegiality on campus. Additional elements include car park, facilities such as a public art gallery, library and café, and a landscaped area that encourages public and university community gathering.

Album Review - Human Don't Be Angry - Human Don't Be Angry
There's nothing quite like hearing an album for the first time and knowing that those sounds will be filling your ears for a long time to come. In reviewing terms, it actually pushes aside two other albums which I'd planned to review (sorry guys, may get round to it one day!). I saw a post on Twitter the other day which somewhat hits the nail on the head. It remarked that with Bill Wells & Aidan Moffat's album 'Everything's Getting Older' and Malcolm Middleton's new solo album in the guise of Human Don't Be Angry, the break up of Arab Strab wasn't that bad!
It is the second of those albums that features here (although we love the first too!). 'Human Don't Be Angry' is the much anticipated new solo album from Malcolm Middleton, using the guise Human Don't Be Angry (this could get confusing). Rather than the fore long indie singer/songwriter style which Middleton has become known for in his previous solo work, 'Human Don't Be Angry' is a much different beast, one which utilises synths, drum machines, loops, guitars and the odd smattering of vocals into an ambient endeavour.
Opener 'The Missing Plutonium', named after a scene from Back To The Future, it's got a wonderful guitar part which soars and opens the door on what this, largely instrumental album, is set to deliver. The backing beat sounds like it's from a computer game, maybe an RPG, simple yet enchanting at the same time. Even though I'm going to say it's my favourite track on the album, things don't really go downhill from here trust me!
'H.D.B.A. Theme' was the first taste of the album we got way back earlier this year. Honestly, it's chilled out to fuck. Listening to that hook, which has been built up with numerous intricate layers, and the simplistic drum machines is bliss. Catchy as hell and the robotic vocals, with a slight Germanic twang to them, added over the top make this track a futuristic orgasm of electronica.
There's not a lot of storytelling on this album, and 'First Person Singular, Present Tense' is a close to introverted lyrics. The vocals are jagged and broken up by a very simple drumbeat, and rather '80's feeling synths, yet there's a sense of loneliness and self anguish about the lyrics that tie it all together as Middleton sings "looking for an exit, a way out. I want to go home, home." The end of the song is the perfect proof that music goes in a 30 year cycle, as the ending is pure '80's new wave/pop. Delightful!
Back to the instrumental we go with 'After The Pleasuredome' which is a soulful, jazz tinged, atmospheric track. Almost like the soundtrack to a comedown after 'Relax'-ing with Frankie Goes To Hollywood, who of course the title name checks. Probably the slowest point on the album, sounds interesting but debatable if it really needs 5 and a half minutes.
'Monologue: River' closes out Side One of the LP (yes I'm reviewing this whilst listening to my recently purchased RSD 2012 exclusive copy of the album). Another track with vocals, although not as poignant as 'First Person...', 'Monologue: River' might be one of the more easily accessible tracks on the album with it's 'oohs' towards the end and lightness throughout. Actually it doesn't seem pretty much like a monologue until about a minute and a half in, which is when the drums and guitars kick in.
'Jaded' is a nice slow affair, much like the name would suggest. It's all about the guitar on this one. '1985' is a perfect name of a track on this album, because the style owes so much to that decade. This track is pretty feel good, and if the little glockenspiel bit doesn't draw a smile on your face then just give up.
Penultimate track 'Asklipiio' is also the longest. I have no idea what the name means, and I'm instantly drawn to Sigur Ros because of it. There is same post-rock landscape feel to the track that the Icelandic mean revel in, but it's built on with Middleton's vocals. Imagine a Scots man singing over Sigur Ros. With keys.
We were told that the Human Don't Be Angry persona was a move away from the doom, gloom and negativity that often stalks Middleton's solo work. And it is, but he couldn't resist throwing in that last depressingly track name! Album closer, 'Getting Better (At Feeling Shit)' sounds like a simple bedroom jam, desperate and bluesy. Really bluesy in fact. It's a mellow end to an otherwise rather feel good album. It's a good track, but feels slightly ajar with the rest of the album.
'Human Don't Be Angry' is an album with plenty to explore, such is the joy of a largely experimental and instrumental piece of work. No doubt come that glorious list compiling time of December, it'll find itself high up on many peoples 'best of's'.

Caroline sat on the davenport in her crowded sitting room. Around her people talked in hushed voices, occasionally casting glances of pity at her. She sat alone even though they were there to mourn with her. Mrs. Otterbourne came into the room and held out a cup and saucer.
"Here, Caroline," she offered quietly. "Are you sure I can't get you something to eat?"
"No," Caroline shook her head and ignored the cup. "I've lost my appetite."
"At least take the coffee, dear," Mrs. Otterbourne took the seat next to her and the davenport sunk with her weight. Caroline accepted the coffee and took a sip to placate the older woman.
"They keep looking at me and whispering," Caroline murmured sourly.
"It's only the way he went, dear," Mrs. Otterbourne patted Caroline's knee as she spoke. "The circumstances. They wonder if he was really ruined and how badly. It could have been any of them." Caroline scoffed as she set the cup and saucer down with a clatter. She picked up her pocket book and pulled out a cigarette. Without hesitation she lit up. The crowd's eyes stuck to her as she inhaled and blow out a plume of smoke. They had never seen her smoke before.
"But it wasn't them, was it? It was Homer. The one time good, old, dependable Homer surprised me…" Caroline's voice died down as her eyes glazed over. She thought about how concerned she had been that her roast had dried out. She was hovering around the meat when she heard the front door open and shut. She stuck her head out of the kitchen and chimed that dinner would be on the table within minutes. Homer nodded and said he needed to step into his office for a moment before dinner.
Caroline returned to hastily stirring her gravy when she heard it. POP. Her back instantly straightened, the hair on the back of her neck raised. She hadn't heard that sound in years. She dashed out of the kitchen to Homer's study. In her panic, she fumbled with the doorknob and when she finally got the door open she didn't even scream. She hadn't taken a breath since the gunshot. Homer was in his desk chair, his head thrown back, mouth agape. The blood and brain matter splattered across the portrait of Woodrow Wilson behind the desk.
Caroline shook, but it wasn't Homer she was thinking about. It was Margot. The blood. There was so much blood. The thud of the revolver as it fell from Homer's limp grip to the rug made Caroline jump and brought her back to the moment. She rushed out of the room and gulped the air as her mind buzzed. She smelled smoke and dashed back to the kitchen. The gravy was burning to the sides of the saucepan. She grabbed a towel to carefully move the pan to the sink and turned off the gas. Standing there in the middle of the smoky kitchen with a husband missing a good portion of his skull in the other room, Caroline recognized that her hope for a normal life was officially smothered. As always her luck had run out. She hung her head and cried.
"Caroline," Mrs. Otterbourne gave her a nudge. Caroline turned her head slowly.
"Yes?" The old woman pointed at the cigarette, the ash of which had grown long.
"Oh," Caroline commented as she serenely tapped it into the cup of coffee. When she continued, her voice was slow and hollow, "I didn't even know he had a gun." Mrs. Otterbourne shook her head sympathetically.
"Mrs. Birkenbauer?" A man in a brown suit with round spectacles said nervously. Lundgren swept across the room and put himself between them.
"Excuse me, but I am Mr. Birkenbauer's lawyer and executor of estate. Can't this matter wait until another time?" Lundgren said in a forceful whisper. The man squinted up at him and pushed his glasses up his nose.
"I'm afraid not. I need to speak with Mrs. Birkenbauer today," the man said.
"It's fine, Lundgren, shall we go into the um…" she was going to say study, but remembered again the scene of Homer's demise, "the other room," Caroline finished.
"As you wish, ma'am." Lundgren held out a hand to help her out of her seat. The room had fallen quiet as they watched Caroline cross the room to the study. Their morbid curiosity had their attention as they desired just a peak into the room. She opened to door and paused. A sigh of relief escaped as she saw the portrait gone, the mess cleaned up.
Lundgren seemed uncomfortable as he entered the room. His eyes still darted around looking for the evidence of what occurred. The man in the brown suit was oblivious. He went to the desk and opened his briefcase. He pulled out several papers as Caroline shut the door on the curious onlookers. Lundgren pulled out his reading glasses and started paging through the documents that were procured. Caroline sat in a chair uninterested. The man turned to address her.
"Mrs. Birkenbauer, I'm not sure how to say this…"
"Just spit it out," Caroline growled. Lundgren cast a glance at her. Something about her had changed. There was an extra edge to her voice that he had never heard before.
"Well, I work for the bank and it seems Mr. Birkenbauer made some investments recently and used his assets as collateral." The little man paused.
"Get on with it," Lundgren warned.
"Due to the recent failings of his investments, the bank is now planning to take possession of the assets immediately."
"Immediately?" Lundgren exclaimed. The man in the brown suit winced.
Caroline rubbed her forehead. "Lundgren, what is he talking about?" The lawyer sighed.
"It appears the bank now owns everything including the house."
"We will give you a grace period, of course. We don't want to cause any undo hardship."
"How long of a grace period?" Lundgren asked.
"Two days," the man said sheepishly.
"Two days!" Lundgren barked. Caroline got to her feet and in front of the men tossed her cigarette onto the rug and crushed it into the fibers with her shoe.
"Thank you for your concern!" she sneered. She went to the door and threw it open to the curious crowd. "Get out all of you!" she bellowed at them. The jaws of the room dropped in unison. "I mean it! Out!" The people started to slowly come to life and jostle towards the foyer.
"I said get out you bunch of fucking vultures!" Caroline screamed. She turned to the office and jab a finger at the man in the brown suit. "And you…you little rat. Coming here on the day of my husband's funeral to kick me out of my home! Why don't you take your two days and shove 'em up your ass!" The last of Caroline's social graces had fallen away and she was once again a hardened gun moll. The man picked up his briefcase and scurried past her. Lundgren let the papers fall carelessly back to the desktop.
"I'm sorry, Caroline. I didn't know Homer had done this, but it's all here," he turned to see her still standing in the doorway. Her eyes cast down to the floor. He crossed the room, but she didn't look up. "Do you have family you can go to?"
Caroline put the back of her hand to her mouth as tears started to spring up in her eyes. She gave a noncommittal shake and nod of her head.
"Let me know if there's anything I can do," Lundgren added. Caroline waved him out of the room. The lawyer herded the last of the guests out the front door. Caroline sunk to the floor as the sobs over came her. She couldn't stop the tears from falling.

Nonprofit Organizations That Help Childrenby David Weedmark
Poverty, illness and a lack of strong social support not only jeopardize a child's future but all too often their lives. Whether you know a child who needs help or want to help children yourself, there are a host of organizations across the globe and in most U.S. communities, there are nonprofit organizations working to help children in need.
Helping Children Worldwide
Founded in 1946, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) may be the most recognized nonprofit for children. UNICEF aids children in emergency conditions and works toward sustainable development where child poverty is most extreme. Save the Children, famous for its program to have people sponsor one child in need at a time, reached 143 million children in 120 countries in 2013. Free the Children is an international children's charity that has trained 2.3 million youths to be agents of change in every project they undertake. Free the Children began when 12-year-old Craig Kielburger gathered his school friends to fight child labor and today, it has projects in more than 45 countries.
Helping Sick Children
Many nonprofits specialize in helping sick children and developing treatments and cures for child illnesses. Shriners Hospitals for Children is one such organization, offering burn care, orthopedics, cleft lip and palette, and spinal-cord-injury treatment to children across the U.S. free of charge. Located in Memphis, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital averages 67,000 patient visits every year and has treated children from every state in the U.S. as well as around the world. Ronald McDonald House Charities offer housing for families with sick children across the world as well as mobile health-care units for families, grants and scholarships.
Helping Kids Learn
Education-focused nonprofits work toward helping children stay in school while offering them direction in their futures. Founded in 1989 at Boston City Hospital, Reach Out and Read now distributes 6.5 million books every year to children in all 50 states through 5,000 partner program sites. Communities in Schools assists vulnerable students in U.S. school districts with high dropout rates. In 2013, Communities in Schools helped more than 1.3 million children in 375 school districts. The Children's Defense Fund assists schools with literacy programs, provides summer and after-school enrichment programs as well as youth leadership and development training.
Helping Children Locally
In most communities, there are grassroots nonprofits offering help to children in need -- often financially assisted by agencies such as the United Way. Big Brothers Big Sisters is a national organization that matches at-risk children with adult role models throughout the United States. Boys and Girls Clubs of America operates more than 4,000 locations in the U.S. with development programs, training and other services to help about 4 million children and teens every year. Toys for Tots was founded and is run by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve. Each year from October to December, this nonprofit collects millions of toys for children in need across the U.S. with the help of nearly 25,000 Marines, veterans and other volunteers.

Tom Early, San Angelo Health Foundation/
TITLE: President
FOCUS AREAS: Health, education, social services, arts, environment, civic improvement
CONTACT: Visit PeopleFinder for email and phone number (paid subscribers only)
PROFILE: Tom Early is the president of the San Angelo Health Foundation and just one of two staff members who manage foundation activities. To learn about Early's approach to philanthropy, read his "PROGRESS: Health Foundation Hits Assistance Milestone" article in the San Angelo Stanard Times. He wrote:
The economic expansion and population growth we are now experiencing come with many benefits but also issues such as the additional strain on social and health services. We will continue to support the community's infrastructure and attempt to fill gaps in services. A good example is the proposed detox center and expanded capacity at the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Center of the Concho Valley. We've committed $1 million toward this effort in the hopes it can be leveraged to bring in other needed funds for the project.
Early also serves on the board of directors for Philanthropy Southwest. He is an alumni of Angelo State University. According to Early, his foundation conducts very little fundraising. Instead the vast majority of the organization's capital is grown through investments.

Maritime War - Mithradates Driven Back to Pontus
The consistent and discreet conduct of the war by Lucullus had not only repaired the errors of his colleague, but had also destroyed without a pitched battle the flower of the enemy's army-- it was said 200,000 soldiers. Had he still possessed the fleet which was burnt in the harbour of Chalcedon, he would have annihilated the whole army of his opponent. As it was, the work of destruction continued incomplete; and while he was obliged to remain passive, the Pontic fleet notwithstanding the disaster of Cyzicus took its station in the Propontis, Perinthus and Byzantium were blockaded by it on the European coast and Priapus pillaged on the Asiatic, and the headquarters of the king were established in the Bithynian port of Nicomedia.
In fact a select squadron of fifty sail, which carried 10,000 select troops including Marcus Marius and the flower of the Roman emigrants, sailed forth even into the Aegean; the report went that it was destined to effect a landing in Italy and there rekindle the civil war. But the ships, which Lucullus after the disaster off Chalcedon had demanded from the Asiatic communities, began to appear, and a squadron ran forth in pursuit of the enemy's fleet which had gone into the Aegean. Lucullus himself, experienced as an admiral,(13) took the command.
13. Cf. IV. VIII. Lucullus and the Fleet on the Asiatic Coast

The basic structure of the Industrial Disperser is composed of electric motor, dispersing impeller and batching tank.
Motor: The motor of the Industrial Disperser can rotate the spindle by changing speed.
Dispersing impeller: The main spindle of the Industrial Disperser has a dispersing impeller, which can drive the dispersing impeller to rotate at high speed through the rotation of the spindle, and the mixing and dispersing effect on the material is produced.
The dispersing impeller under the dispersing axis is a sawtooth type impeller. In the circle edge of the impeller staggered into zigzag, the tilt angle and along the tangent direction of 20°~40°, the impeller rotation of each tooth of the vertical edge surface can produce strong impact. The outer surface of the tooth pushes the object to flow outward, forming a cyclic and shearing force.
High-speed dispersion of the head: can be controlled by the use of hydraulic lifting, and can be around the column to do 180°~360° rotation.
During dispersion, part of the material near the sawtooth is sped up, a part of the internal deceleration slip through the teeth inside the edge of the shear action, paint cycle to the vicinity of the sawtooth, constantly accelerated and sliding, under the effect of viscosity is dispersed, serrated teeth between the hole can form gas turbidity, to increase the dispersion of pigment particles.
The brand and type of Industrial Disperser have many kinds, according to different viscosity and material, choose suitable Industrial Disperser to grind and disperse.
In the dispersing process of high speed Industrial Disperser, the speed of the material can not be blindly improved, and the dispersing efficiency is improved according to different materials.
Dispersing time can not be too long, generally in 10-15 minutes or so.
Industrial Disperser use time is too long, its impeller will wear, reduce the dispersion efficiency, at this time should replace the impeller.
Note that the Industrial Disperser can not be run, operating process, slow start and slow parking, the operation end of the waist scrub clean.

Happy Monday!
Worship at Destiny Family Center yesterday morning hit another level! I felt like I was standing in the middle of a national worship conference-goose pimples and teary eyes for the entire session! This morning, I am thanking God in prayer for our worship team. I thank God for their flaming hearts and high dedication… for the God given talents they are turning into skills… for the way they are leading our entire church and community in heavenly worship! May God bless you all: Aaron Huffer, Greg Baker, Robbie Widener, Brian Law, Ben Scott, Josh Wade, Luke Wade, Ian Hale, Caroline Law, Brittany Wade, Nikki Rankin, Brandy Hatcher, Jon Higginbotham, Brain Johnson… and all of the new people currently joining the team!
The revival that began on September 11th, 2010 is still happening! It's coming to us in waves… one great wave after another! Yesterday was a hundred footer! Here I find myself yearning for more, wishing we had another service scheduled for tonight!
Amid The Sound of The Great Celebration
One of the highest callings of humankind is to worship God. When we trudge through dry seasons and our worship is impeded because of church problems, or hidden sin problems, or wavering faith problems… our soul can only take so much of the dryness before it longs for the presence of God like a deer longs for water! This is what David was talking about when he wrote Psalm 42.
As the deer longs for streams of water,
so I long for you, O God.
I thirst for God, the living God.
When can I go and stand before him?
Day and night I have only tears for food,
while my enemies continually taunt me, saying,
"Where is this God of yours?"
My heart is breaking
as I remember how it used to be:
I walked among the crowds of worshipers,
leading a great procession to the house of God,
singing for joy and giving thanks
amid the sound of a great celebration!
Is your soul longing for the streams of water today? Is your heart BREAKING as you remember how it used to be when you walked among the crowds of worshipers, leading a great procession to the house of God, singing for joy and giving thanks amid the sound of THE GREAT CELEBRATION?
Throw off the chains, do whatever you must… free yourself to RUN FOR THE WATERS. Put an end to this dry season, today. The river-it never runs dry! Worship, worship, worship until your thirst is fully satisfied.
Wooooosh! This is a message for someone today!
Your thoughts?
Here is a great worship video for your worship revolution.
Today's photo compliments of First Baptist Church, Paradise Texas.
Just like every morning, I prayed for you with tremendous passion. I sincerely hope you feel the difference all day long.
Have a great day everyone!
With much love…
Dream Big, Live Bold, and Make the Difference!

Talking Glossary of Genetic Terms
A carcinogen is an agent with the capacity to cause cancer in humans. Carcinogens may be natural, such as aflatoxin, which is produced by a fungus and sometimes found on stored grains, or manmade, such as asbestos or tobacco smoke. Carcinogens work by interacting with a cell's DNA and inducing genetic mutations.
Narration Transcription
A carcinogen is a specific chemical or physical agent that has the ability to cause cancer in individuals exposed to that agent. Interestingly, some carcinogenic agents are associated with increasing the risk of developing specific types of cancer. One good example is the carcinogen asbestos. Asbestos exposure, particularly to workers in industrial settings, has actually been strongly linked to the development of a specific type of lung cancer called mesothelioma. Importantly, once we have identified carcinogens, we can then go on to take specific measures to limit our exposure and so reduce the incidence of specific cancers associated with carcinogens, for example, limiting asbestos exposure.
Doctor Profile
Name: Daphne W. Bell, Ph.D.
Occupation: Investigator, Cancer Genetics Branch; Head, Reproductive Cancer Genetics Section
Biography: Dr. Bell's laboratory aims to understand genetic alterations that lead to clinically aggressive subtypes of endometrial cancer, to determine whether there is a heritable basis for familial endometrial cancer and to uncover genetic risk factors that promote the development of endometrial cancer at younger ages. Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecological malignancy in the United States. Most patients who present with Type 1 tumors have a good prognosis. Approximately 15% are diagnosed with Type 2 serous or clear cell tumors that are clinically aggressive. These patients have a five-year survival rate of less than 40%.

Royals defending their castle
The Royals' home record keeps them in the WHL playoff picture
Grizzlies come out 0-2 in weekend games
The two games were an early season litmus test for the Grizz as both Nanaimo and Coquitlam look to be teams who will vie for the Coastal Conference crown. These squads are looking to bounce back from middle of the pack 2011-12 seasons.
Royals split weekend matches with interior rival
You win some, you lose some. The glass is half full. Taking one game at a time. These clichés all apply to the weekend series the Victoria Royals played at home against provincial rival and number eight ranked Kamloops Blazers in WHL action.
Roaring start for Royals
The NHL lockout may leave local fans hungering for hockey action, but if the opening weekend of the Victoria Royals is any sign, the local Western Hockey League team will fill in just fine, thank you very much. The second-year team swept a weekend set of games against B.C. rivals the Vancouver Giants, looking much improved from last year's squad.
Grizzlies open season with win
The script for the Junior A Victoria Grizzlies home opener was perfectly executed on Sept. 14 as the home team eked out a dramatic win over the Powell River Kings on a last-second goal.
