Blurb: College student Coby is being stalked by a young guy and has no idea why, until someone suggests that the stalker may have a crush on him. The idea both excites and terrifies Coby, who is so deep in the closet he can barely manage to think the word "gay" without freaking out.
About Erica: As a teen, Erica spent hours at a time lying in bed. Some would have called her lazy (though her very supportive parents never did), but she'd disagree. It's not like she wasn't doing anything, she was busy daydreaming! You'd have thought the daydreams would lessen as she got older, but that wasn't the case. Since these are the kind of dreams that can't really come true, Erica decided to make them come alive on paper.
She lives in Iceland with her adorable little twin boys, and is happy with what she has. She often says that her real name sounds like Klingon to foreigners. Seriously, if "Eyjafjallajokull" looks like someone fell asleep at the keyboard, Erica's real name could leave a non-Icelander in a zombie-like stupor for days.
She's been writing for several years, or ever since reading became an obsession. Aside from a business degree, Erica has taken English courses at the University of Iceland and gulped down anything that might help her in her career as an author. She takes great interest in English, but will break every single grammar rule for the sake of the voice.
Erica loves hearing from her readers. She's a friendly, easy-going (if a bit silly) person who doesn't mind talking about herself in third person.

The show has begun! Some idiot booing chairman Jann Wenner as he does his introduction. Lots of Cleveland people in the crowd. Biggest applause goes to the announcement of the E Street Band, even more than Nirvana (but that was big too!)
And we're off! #rockhall2014 pic.twitter.com/TkylEb8mUn
7 p.m.
St. Vincent confirms she practiced with and is performing with Nirvana tonight. Looks like a medley of women including Joan Jett and others. Interestingly enough St. Vincent rescheduled her Cleveland show to be here at the inductions.
"Nirvana" performing w/ Joan Jett, Lorde & others at Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame ceremony tonight. Kurt's throwing middle fingers from beyond.
Hi guys, unfortunately a very last-minute scheduling conflict forces us to reschedule our 4/9 Columbus & 4/10 Cleveland shows to 9/26 & 9/25
6:45 p.m.
Carrie Underwood, Bonnie Raitt, Sheryl Crow, Stevie Nicks and Emmy Lou Harris at the podium. Says Raitt: "I think Linda took some of those R&B records and refashioned them. Then of course for her to go on and do opera... it was an incredible reach she had. It's an incredible honor to pay tribute to our sister."
6:35 p.m.
Mudhoney at the Rock Hall induction and they let former Nirvana drummer Chad Channing come too! That's cool.

6:15 p.m.
Joel Peresman, President of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation, reiterated that the Rock Hall induction ceremony will be in Cleveland next year. When asked about next trip to New York City, he mentioned Madison Square Garden as a possibility depending on sports schedules. Lastly, when asked why his hair isn't grey after dealing with KISS in recent months, Peresman said: "Because I dye it like they do."
6:10 p.m.
The show order is as follows:
- Peter Asher inductions of Brian Epstein and Andrew Loog Oldham
- Peter Gabriel induction by Chris Martin (of Coldplay) followed by performance
- KISS induction
- Cat Stevens induction and performance (they won't let me say who's inducting him yet, but it's damn good!)
- Linda Ronstadt induction and tribute
- E Street Band induction and performance (with Bruce Springsteen)
- Hall and Oates induction and performance
- Nirvana induction and performance with "exciting guests" (closer!)
6 p.m.
And away we go. We're about an hour from showtime and here's what I know so far. (I don't know a lot about a lot, but I know a little about a little). Peter Gabriel was performing "In Your Eyes" during rehearsals and, in case there was any doubt, Joan Jett is definitely in the building. I overheard a security guard discussing her arrival. It's rumored that she will perform with Nirvana tonight. KISS is doing photos only, no interviews, in the press room. Everything surrounding Nirvana appears to be a mystery tonight.

Tariq Ramadan: The Islamic OptimistHistorians in the News
Part of the animus against him derives from his family history: he is the grandson of Hasan al-Banna (1906– 1949), founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Middle East Sunni movement that originally advocated the establishment of an Islamic state. After the suppression of the Brotherhood in Egypt, his father, Said Ramadan, settled in Geneva and established an influential center of Islamist ideology with financial support from Saudi Arabia.
As is now well known, Ramadan has been prevented by the US government from taking up a tenured professorship at the University of Notre Dame. The reasons are obscure. While Ramadan has numerous intellectual critics in France as well as in the United States,[*] it seems unlikely that any official can seriously believe that such a well-known figure could himself pose a security risk to the United States. The only official mark against him appears to be a donation of eight hundred euros made some ten years ago to a Palestinian charity that was subsequently put on a watch list.
Notre Dame's loss has been Oxford's —and Europe's—gain. Ramadan's current position as research fellow at St. Antony's College has enabled him to carry on his work as a teacher and spokesman for European Muslims while keeping in touch with his Continental following. In Britain he has been an adviser to the government—though in view of the unpopularity of the Iraq adventure among British Muslims, he has avoided close relations with officials. He declined an invitation by the outgoing Prime Minister Tony Blair to attend a highly publicized conference of "moderate" Muslim leaders in June. Politically street-smart, he fears he might lose credibility among his younger followers if it were thought that the British government was "using" him.
Fluent in French, English, and Arabic, with degrees in Western philosophy—his Ph.D. wa on Nietzsche—and a year spent at al-Azhar University in Cairo, the oldest and most prestigiou academy in the world of Sunni Islam, Ramadan is admirably qualified to interpret Islam and it founder to uninformed, skeptical, or just curious Western readers. But for a nonbeliever In the Footsteps of the Prophet is disappointing. One would have expected him—at the very least—to have alluded to the vigorous scholarly debate surrounding the origins of Islam, if only to dismiss it—as several orthodox Muslim scholars have done—as a conspiracy to undermine Islam at its source. Instead he has produced a faith-promoting narrative, pleasant enough, but bland and colorless, that avoids any serious attempt to engage with the traditional sources critically (as Cook and Peters do) or to fully explain the setting of the Prophet's actions (or alleged actions, allowing for the skepticism that some scholars still feel about the sources) in the harsh and cruel environment of the stateless society where the Prophet is recorded as spending his life (as Rodinson and Armstrong have done in their different ways)....
Islam, he insists, will not be subject to this process of secularization because it was never institutionalized in the form of a church. God is present in Muslim consciousness"by means of a Book and a human example...and not by means of an institution or an incarnation." Under a revitalized Islamic polity—based on the constitutional principles of Medina—Muslims can modernize their societies without succumbing to the dehumanizing forces of secularism.
This is a widely held belief among the Islamists or"Salafist reformers" whom Ramadan is proud to support. There is, however, a profound flaw in his analysis which pervades all of his books under review. It is dangerously utopian and optimistic. In several unguarded passages he gives himself away: unlike Western Christianity the shared faith of Islam—"the brotherhood of Faith—is opposed to any idea of tragic consciousness." This is an astounding statement because it excludes, consciously or otherwise, the whole of the Shia minority tradition, which is suffused with a tragic sense of loss and betrayal....

text: The Bucks are "on the verge of signing" Gary Neal. According to ESPN.com, the Hawks dropped out of contention to sign Neal, leaving the Milwaukee as the most likely landing spot. A deal is expected to be announced today: "The Milwaukee Bucks are on the verge of signing shooting guard Gary Neal, according to sources close to the process. Sources told ESPN.com that a deal between the Bucks and Neal could be finalized as soon as Saturday after Neal's agent, David Bauman, halted negotiations with the Atlanta Hawks. The Bucks and Hawks emerged as the top two contenders to sign the sharpshooter after the San Antonio Spurs withdrew their qualifying offer to Neal earlier this month, making him an unrestricted free agent."

A.Human: Take Me Home/La Shark: I Know What You Did Last Summer (single)The 7" single has been a much missed sight from the record emporiums in the last decade but there are still those labels that keep us vinyl junkies happy with releases like this one. Indie label So Darn So's signings A.Human and La Shark have teamed up for this double A side and both offer up something different but equally catchy. A.Human are perhaps the better know of the two and their offering, Take Me Home, is a piece of breezy pop that should be filling the airwaves this summer. It won't but it should.
La Shark are the more unconventional of the duo with I Know What You Did Last Summer sounding like Black Grape jamming with The Scissor Sisters over a crack pipe. This is a darkly humorous tale that plays with quirky beats and electronica for something quite unique.
I've seen the future and it's black, flat and has a hole in the middle. God bless labels like So Darn So and bands like A.Human and La Shark. Thanks for restoring my faith in music.

By ODU Athletics
NORFOLK, Va. - Old Dominion men's soccer coach Alan Dawson announced the addition of two players to the 2018 roster on Thursday afternoon. David Tombini and Daniel Bloyou will continue their academic and athletic careers as Monarchs.
The Monarchs finished the 2017 season 13-6-2 and as C-USA Champions. ODU also advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
Meet the Incoming Monarchs
Name: David Tombini
Position: Defense
Hometown: Olney, Md.
High School: Our Lady of Good Counsel High School
Club Team: Baltimore Armour
Honors: WCAC 2nd team
Academic Interest: International Business
Why ODU? "I want to play at a high level and compete with players who will push me to be better and no other college will give me that except for ODU."
Dawson on Tombini
"David has all the tools to be a top college defender. He is a vocal leader who leads by example on and off the pitch. He has good size and athleticism that will translate well into the college game. He also has a good understanding of the game and is very competitive. He comes from a soccer family and is very passionate about our game. We look forward to coaching him and welcome him to our soccer family."

Why ODU? "It was very important for me as a person and a player to find not just a college, but a home for the next four years that I can quickly adapt to and make an impact. I believe ODU is the perfect fit. The Monarchs are a young side that have a lot of talent and a coaching staff that are committed to player development and that is what I am all about."
Dawson on Bloyou
"Daniel is a dynamic attacking player who can play multiple positions in that role. He is extremely quick, which poses problems for defenders but he can also combine with others in open play. He is fearless, hard working and most importantly he is passionate about playing the game. He was a highly sought after recruit and we welcome him to our Soccer Family."

At Westminster Police Court a 'middle-aged Irish woman' named Johanna Hearne was brought to the bar. PC Edwards (241A) was on his beat on Queen's Road East, Chelsea, near the Chelsea Hospital at about 12.30 in the morning when he heard what he was a groan.
Crossing over he soon discovered Johanna hanging on the railways by a handkerchief. He struggled to free her and took her back the police station.
She was quite drunk and clearly attempting to end her own life. The magistrate asked how she could have managed such a thing and the policeman elaborated. She had apparently attached the hankie 'by pieces of string and other things' to the Chelsea Hospital's railings.
It wasn't easy to get her back to the station either, she struggled and was violent. Once there she tried to kill herself again and had to be subdued.
The justice, Mr Arnold turned his attention to the prisoner. 'What have you to say for yourself?' he asked.
'Oh, I've got nothing to say. I was mad drunk' replied Johanna with 'an impudent laugh'.
Mr Arnold was not amused. ' shall not deal with you for the attempted suicide' he said, but instead sentenced her to a 10s fine or a week in prison. 'then I'll do the seven days' said a defiant Johanna.
[from The Morning Post, Wednesday, October 28, 1863]
NB on the faint chance that my good friend Simon is reading the may I take the opportunity to wish him a happy birthday. He was born 100 years to the day after this case reached the newspapers.

Jazz @ The Pavilion
Guildford Rugby Club
Guildford Road
The Rugby club is on the main A3100 road between Guildford and Godalming, about 3 miles from Guildford town centre. The club has a large car park, and the jazz club is held upstairs in the main Pavilion.
Coming south on the A3 from London/M25, it's best to take the Compton exit, rather than going through Guildford town centre. As you come down the A3, go past the Guildford turnoff and ignore the turning off for the A31, then take the next exit onto the B3000 – it's signposted to Compton and Godalming/Farnham. The slip road takes you to a roundabout – go left towards Compton/Godalming. Then just stay on that road for about 3 miles – eventually you'll go over a humpback bridge then you get to a roundabout, just after the crematorium. Turn right, on the A3100 towards Godalming and the Rugby club is then on your right, shortly after the Citroen garage on the left.

(Reuters) - Germany's second-largest lender Commerzbank AG is being investigated by the Manhattan U.S. attorney for alleged violations of money-laundering laws, the Wall Street Journal reported.
After failing to land high-profile criminal cases stemming from the 2008-09 financial crisis, U.S. authorities have focused on other types of criminal activity within the financial industry, including money laundering, tax evasion and sanctions violations.
Sources told Reuters earlier this month that Commerzbank was nearing a settlement with U.S. authorities over its dealings with Iran and other countries under U.S. sanctions. One person said it was expected to pay about $650 million.
The Manhattan U.S. attorney is now investigating allegations Commerzbank had lax controls for detecting and preventing money laundering, the WSJ reported, citing unnamed sources briefed on the investigation.
It said U.S. officials were now considering whether to resolve the sanctions probe and the money laundering investigation in one settlement, which could delay a solution and add hundreds of millions of dollars to the potential penalties Commerzbank could pay.
Commerzbank declined comment.
A number of banks have already been penalized over sanctions and money laundering infringements. French bank BNP Paribas pleaded guilty earlier this year to two criminal charges and agreed to pay almost $9 billion to resolve accusations it violated U.S. sanctions against Sudan, Cuba and Iran.

Yes, I already miss the sun. And yes, I am aware that I said I was over summer and ready for fall. I lied. Sue me.
Plus, it's really hard to take pictures when it's all gray and dark outside.
This probably should have been a wordless Wednesday post since I don't have a lot to say, but I love these pictures. I love how sunny and carefree they look.

For the past 5 years I have been meaning to try a rare and expensive delicacy. A gastronomic delight that is so highly prized and in such short supply that up until this year I have failed to procure any. I am talking about gull eggs.
Now, I realise that eating the egg of a seagull might not be the most appealing prospect initially, but bare with me. These eggs are possibly the most expensive avian eggs, pound for pound, that money can buy and for good reason. First of all they are extremely hard to get hold of with only a couple of licensed "eggers", who keep the locations of the nesting sites a closely guarded secret. It is my understating that in order to maintain the sustainability of these precious eggs that the issuing of new licences has ceased.
The eggs come from the Black-Headed Gull and the season is very short, lasting only around 3 weeks. The collecting of the eggs is very strictly regulated and the eggers only permitted to take one egg from each nest. In order to identify nests that have been harvested from, a pencil cross will be drawn on the remaining eggs. These eggs are so valuable that the nesting sites are fiercely guarded and eggers have been known to stay on guard through the nights to safeguard against foxes and other predators.
Because of the scarcity of these eggs they are not cheap. I have seen them for as much as £7.50 per egg in their raw state which is not inconsiderable considering that for that price you could buy three dozen quails eggs.
So what do they taste like? Well, you might be excused for supposing that they taste fishy, but this is a common misconception. They have no fishy taste whatsoever, so don't be put off by this false impression. The whites are delicate and soft and almost melt in the mouth with no rubbery nature to them at all unlike other lesser eggs. The yolks are a vibrant and vivid orange colour, the texture is creamier and smoother than a hens egg and the taste richer. They are truly delicious. But are they worth the price of 2 pints? That I will leave for you to decide, all I will say is that I will without doubt enjoy these treats again.
To prepare the eggs they can be boiled for 3 to 3.5 minutes for a soft boiled egg or steamed for approximately 6 minutes then quenched in cold water to cease their cooking. For hard boiled add just another minute. They say that they are best served luke warm and I can recommend serving them with a little celery salt to dip them in and a side serving of piping hot boiled asparagus (which is in season at the same time conveniently) smothered in English butter and sprinkled liberally with coarse sea salt. Wash them down with a chilled bottle of your favourite English Sparkling wine and a more decadent celebration of Blightly you will not find.

Darkening Skies, One, Two, & Three
My girlfriend jokes that a sure-fire way to identify a bad photograph is hear someone say it would make a great black metal cover, for the images that adorn the album covers of many post- or experimental- or atmospheric- or [insert other adjective]-black metal bands tend to be underexposed, out of focus, and monotonous (in the grey sense). So much so, that it's a cliché within the genre.
And, with that, I would like to present to you, today, a trio of images perfect for your next post- or experimental- or atmospheric- or [insert other adjective]-black metal album! Sure, they're a little bluer than usual, but you can just take a photoshop to that. Just look at how moody they look! Listeners will be itching to pick up your album when they see your logo pasted over these horrifically, diabolically magnificent images!
Failing that, I'm sure there are some budding post-metal bands looking for more cloud pictures...

The Cinematography of "Blade Runner 2049" in 4k (2017)
Cinematographer: Roger Deakins
Nominated for the 2018 Academy Award for Best Cinematography
4 comments
Deakins's first Oscar. Right here. Thanks for posting.January 29, 2018
Cyrus Kimani
I agree with your comment on the 1982 version blog post
I'm also of the opinion that the cinematography in the 1982 film is the better of the two, and also that it truly is some of the best cinematography ever done.
Mr. Cronenweth really outdid himself. And yet, no oscar recognition, SMH.February 2, 2018
Yes!February 9, 2018
I dunno… It's clean and technically impeccable, but a little too cold and clinical (like the majority of Deakins' recent works) and it lacks the texture and the atmosphere (and, dare i say it, the "soul") of the original Blade Runner.
While i'll be happy if he wins an Oscar for this, i'll always miss the Roger Deakins who shot The Assassination Of Jesse James…February 11, 2018

Graphics Trends is a shop that has earned its stripes by servicing the most demanding of clients. Find out how this graphics printer combines the latest technologies and a drive to satisfy in order to remain a leader in a high-stakes market.
By Lori Leaman
The following year, the company purchased an M&R Conquest six-color press, an Epson Stylus Pro 9600 proofing system, and another OYO Liberator XE 5400. But within two years, Graphic Trends sold the M&R carousel and bought a Thieme 5070 five-color, large format (62 x 103-in.) inline press. In 2004, the company welcomed its first piece of digital equipment, a NUR Tempo flatbed inkjet printer. Graphic Trends also made a major transition in its prepress processes with the implementation of a CST DLE directto- screen system. Last year, the company added its second DLE system and expanded its prepress department with an Epson Stylus Pro 9800 and a Grunig automatic screen coater. Graphic Trends also grew its family of digital printers with the addition of a VUTEk 5330 printer from EFI. Today, the 60-employee outfit specializes in printing a variety of graphics, such as banners, window clings, bus/ transit shelter graphics, P-O-P signage, and more, for an array of clients in the fast-food, retail, movie, and automotive industries.
Where it all happens
Graphic Trends' prepress department is a top priority when it comes to investing in advanced technologies. The prepress area houses six employees, four Mac G5 stations, Epson 9800 and Epson 9600 proofing devices, and an OYO thermal imagesetting device. The staff uses the Epsons to output proofs for customers and perform color-correction work for production. The OYO serves primarily as a backup system for the company's direct-to-screen equipment (Figure 1).
"We were the first CST direct-toscreen owners in the US, and we were the first company to purchase two CST systems in the US," says Allen Gasper, production manager. "We are 99% direct to screen now. It was a huge transition and really has added a great deal of consistency, efficiency, and cost competitiveness in our industry. That has been a very vital and big change to our workflow and prepress environment."
The prepress staff uses ProfileMaker5 to build, create, and edit color profiles for different inks and substrate combinations. They create the company's ICC profiles in house (Figure 2), in addition to handling linearization and calibration functions for the prepress and printing equipment. Harlequin, ColorBurst, and Wasatch are the shop's RIP software programs of choice.

New Look...
...comments please. "yes" or "No".
I love my black background, but felt like a freshen up.
...comments please. "yes" or "No".
I love my black background, but felt like a freshen up.
Posted by Jo in NZ at Tuesday, March 04, 2008
No, I liked the black...but who cares what I think it's your blog and you should do what you like! LOL
Wait wait...I didn't see the new header...I do like it it's pretty!
i like this better but i tend to gravitate towards more victorian things. JMHO!
No, the black made your stitching pop, but whatever you are happy with. It is a change and you know what they say about change....... Love your new header photo, gorgeous roses.
Nothing is going to stop us all coming by we just have to see your stunning stitching
No, I preferred the black, but as someone already told, I like your work!
ohh, blacks are winning out...
Yes, I like this new fresh look, much easier to read also :))
I like both,but I guess that isn't an option.:)) I do think it is easier to read with the lighter background.
Yes, I like this new look
I like the lighter look! It is fresh and a bit easier to read...
I love the new look and it is so much easier to read. But you have to go with what YOU like. I had loved Sherry Sarafini's website with the black background and did mine with a dark background because the photos do pop. But after a while I hated to go see it and changed it to lite colors because it was more comforable for ME. Gerry
I love your new look, that header is lovely! Like yourself I love a black background, but lots of my visitors found it difficult to read. I can see the response is exactly the same here.
I like this much better, black backgrounds are hard to read.
And overdone...
I like them both but change is good and this one is very spring-y!
Oh, yes!! ;0)
Hi Jo
I love your stitching on black but like the new lighter look for reading. That tells you something about my age here.
It's my first visit, but I say the light background looks good! Mine is light too, (only light green instead), and I think it's relaxing and easy on the eyes. After all, it's our work that really makes the blog, huh?=)
Yes. I liked the other, but this is nice, too. It's good to get a fresh perspective now and then. =)
I like the new one as its easier to read - and I read the text not just look at the images. But I am one of those that really dislike black backgrounds - I wince everytime I see them but would not normally say so as it is personal choice
Yes two thumbs up for the new look! I have to admit it is easier to read even though I liked the black background. Getting old is tough!
Oh, better, better, better! Much easier to read, Jo. I tend to want to click out right away when I see a black background - although your site is generally an exception because I like your work!
I preferred the black, a black blog is the Jo's blog. Black or Pink your Work is beautiful.
I admit I wondered if I was at the right Jo's, but then your smiling face was there to greet me!
I'm one who says, a change once in a while is good for the juices! I read lots of comments about your work showing up better on black, so I wondered if you could change the 'surround' of only the images to black? Have to check that out myself and comment back to you.
I do think your header shows up much better, and agree that the reading is easier.
Yes, I love the light background. It looks so fresh, plus now I can really read it:) Black is so hard to read the print on.
Jo, I must say I prefer black - I agree with Judith when she says it makes your beautiful stitching pop out. I don't understand the problem with reading text on a black background. I must confess to being old and it doesn't bother me. Whatever background you use is wonderful, however, when it includes your beautiful work.
Be sure and check the upcoming April issue of CQMagOnline. My article will include the work you submitted for the Ideas and Inspiration Challenge.
I'm a big fan of your beautiful work and visit your blog often. Thanks for the inspiration.

I have to say, it's the mango vinaigrette that lured me over to this post! That sounds so tasty 🙂
Kale Salad With Mango Vinaigrette
I'm having a good moment of feeling thankful as I'm sitting with my computer outside a local little cafe on a sunny afternoon. Just soaking in the busyness of the city while brainstorming new ideas to share here on the blog.
One of my favourite things of late has been this summery kale salad with mango. Particularly the mango vinaigrette it is dressed with, which has me excited about salads all day long. As my belly have expanded to something like its max capacity during these final weeks of my pregnancy, I am not one for big meals. So this salad has been amazing and just hits the spot every time.
The vinaigrette is super fresh and perfect for any light salad. I've had it mostly with kale but you can use it to dress any type of leafy greens of your preference. It is a simple combination of fresh mango, apple cider vinegar, garlic and a little olive oil and it is seriously delicious. The entire salad is quick and easy to throw together and is great served with some protein such as feta cheese or grilled fish or chicken.
Kale Health Benefits
Kale is super filling and contains an amazing variety of antioxidants, including a potent dose of the antioxidant vitamins: C, A & E. All these fight the damaging effects of free radicals and help prevent oxidative damage and ageing to our cells – including our skin cells. Kale is also high in calcium, magnesium, vitamin K and vitamin B6 and contains more iron than beef when comparing kcalorie to kcalorie!
Kale is also a powerful detox food and effectively supports the functioning of our liver and its ability to transport toxins and other chemicals out of the body. The reason kale helps promote detox activity is attributed to its high levels of sulphur and fiber as well as substances called isothiocyanates. These isothiocyanates regulate and boost detoxification activity in our cells, supporting both phase I & phase II detoxification processes.
For those of you who might struggle to enjoy kale, I dare you to try this salad! If you find the texture of kale too coarse, try massaging it with a bit of olive oil before serving it as this helps soften the texture a lot. Simply rub it with olive oil for a minute or two and then dress with the mango vinaigrette.
- 4 cups curly kale, chopped
- 1 Spanish onion, chopped
- ½ cup mango, cubed
- ¼ cup toasted sunflower seeds (optional)
- ½ cup mango
- 2 tbsp water
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove
- Wash and chop the kale and place in a large bowl. Chop Spanish onion into thin strips and combine with the kale. Mix well.
- Place all the ingredients for the mango vinaigrette in a food processor or high speed blender and blend until completely smooth. Add more salt & pepper to taste if needed.
- Pour some of the mango vinaigrette over the kale salad and combine well with your hands.
- Top off the salad with fresh mango pieces and roasted sunflower seeds.
- Leave in fridge to chill for 10 and add a little cracked pepper before serving.
Since we will be having our baby any time now, I will be posting less frequently to enjoy my family and properly welcome our new little daughter into the world. I will do my best to respond to your comments and blog-related emails on a regular basis so don't hesitate to reach out.

U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, is taking unmerciful grief from liberals like me for not having the courage to bring a ban on assault weapons up for a vote.
Reid, who comes off as a wimp most of the time anyway, said he simply counted noses and realized that he didn't have the votes to pass an assault weapons ban. I wish he had brought the ban up for a vote, not because I think it would have passed, but just to tick off the National Rifle Association and its minions.
I would still support a ban just to make the statement that two-thirds of Americans don't own guns and are opposed to civilian ownership of military weapons. But if we have people on the U.S. Supreme Court who think that the Second Amendment protects our right to bear shoulder-fired rocket launchers, I guess we can't expect political support for a ban on assault rifles.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein's proposed Assault Weapons Ban of 2013 would ban 157 specific weapons by name. Tops on the list is the Bushmaster AR-15 used in the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, but the list also includes such infernal machines as Remington R-15 rifles, Smith & Wesson M&P 15 rifles, all Thompson rifles, and the Uzi carbine. Fine with me, but probably not effective in the long run.
Just as nefarious politicos immediately find ways around any attempt to limit campaign contributions, wily arms merchants would surely change names and minutiae of design to thwart the intent of an assault weapons ban. And I can only begin to imagine the American blood bath if law enforcement personnel were sent out to try to disarm the gun crazies.
Feinstein's bill has a far longer list of weapons not prohibited by the proposed assault weapons ban, but the lengths to which Feinstein had to go to try to define an assault weapon and the fact that she had to resort to listing makes and models seems to confirm what several reasonable people have told me in recent months – an assault weapons ban would essentially have to ban all semiautomatic rifles and pistols. Again, fine with me, but then I don't want or need a semiautomatic weapon.
I knew the assault weapons ban had little or no chance back in early February when I read that our own independent Sen. Angus King, a moderate voice I am generally willing to listen to even in the midst of my near-constant liberal outrage, did not support it. I wrote to King urging him to reconsider. He replied that he supports universal background checks and limits on the resale of guns and on the size of magazines, but he questioned whether an assault weapon is functionally different from a semiautomatic hunting rifle or "simply uglier."
So this is where things get ugly.
Americans reacted in horror to the slaughter of the innocents at Newtown, Conn., in December and the immediate response was to call for a ban on the sort of weapon used to kill so many children so fast and so violently, a ban that was actually in place from 1994 to 2004.
But before the healing had even begun, opponents of an assault weapons ban were successfully changing the subject from gun violence to gun design – pistol grips, detachable stocks, barrel shrouds, accessory rails – essentially making the argument that the poor AR-15 was being picked on just because it is ugly.
Well, the AR-15 is ugly – in every conceivable sense of the word. It is visually unpleasing, morally repugnant, socially unredeemable, recreationally unnecessary, and conceptually heinous. It is a gun made for mayhem. We should be able to rid this country of such threats to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but we can't. In the Maine congressional delegation, I have a feeling only Rep. Chellie Pingree might have supported a renewal of the assault weapons ban.
A ban on assault weapons would have made a lot of us feel better even if it didn't work, but the evil genie is already out of the bottle. Assault weapons are an ugly fact of American life, so we are just going to have to find other ways to keep the peace.
Still, it is a clear sign of American gun sickness when reasonable people conclude that there is no way to keep weapons of war off the streets of America.

An Unsupervised Adaptive Filtering Approach of 2-to-5 Channel Upmix
A new algorithm of converting two-channel audio materials to five-channel based on subband unsupervised adaptive filtering is proposed in this paper. This algorithm uses a subband analysis-processing-synthesis framework. In each subband, a robust stereo image is obtained using principle component analysis, and an effective energy re-distribution among surround channels is achieved by mapping cross-correlation between two input channels to a weighted panning matrix.
Musical Instrument Classification in Mixture of Sounds
There are many problems related to the management ofmusical data that have not yet been solved. These arenow being extensively considered in the field of music in-formation retrieval (MIR). Topics that should be includedwithin the scope of this discussion include the problem ofautomatically classifying musical instrument sounds andmusical phrases/styles, music representation and index-ing, estimating similarity of music using both perceptualand musicology criteria, problems of recognizing musicusing audio or semantic description, building up musicaldatabases, evaluation of MIR systems, intellectual prop-erty right issues, user interfaces, issues related to musi-cal styles and genres, language modeling for music, userneeds and expectations, auditory scene analysis, gesturecontrol over musical works, and others. Some of topicscontained within the notion of MIR are covered by theMPEG-7 standard, which defines description of the mul-timedia content in order to support better interpretation ofinformation. It should be stressed that solving these prob-lems needs human assistance and management. Continue reading

Android gets better Audio in Lollipop
Google Android to support class-compliant USB audio interfaces.
When it comes to audio performance, Android mobile devices have been a few steps behind their Apple counterparts. Android's audio engine wasn't initially optimised and latency figures were markedly higher than for iOS. Certain companies like Sonoma Wire Works have written software or worked around the limitations of the OS so you can now do audio based things like play synths, use DJ tools etc. without crippling latency. That's the first hurdle cleared. The second, and more vital limitation with Android, especially for recording, was its inability to play nicely with third-party audio interfaces, which you'd need to get higher quality audio in and out of the device.
USB headset and speaker owners will love these next few commits:
- b13d9ef : Enable multi-format usb audio output for Hammerhead [7]
- 03de93f : Enabling USB capture for Hammerhead [8]
- df82f27 : Add loudness enhancer effect in the default configuration file [9]
Finally, the Nexus 5 will have support for USB Audio [7]—both output andinput [8]. And once you plug your awesome USB audio equipment into your Nexus 5, you'll be happy to find a new Loudness Enhancer [9] DSP mode mixed in amongst the stock audio presets.
Google brings low latency audio processing to Android L
Android phones and tablets already make pretty decent portable media players. But some of the best mobile apps for recording or creating audio are still iOS-only. That's at least partly bbecause Apple's smartphone and tablet operating system supports low-latency audio processing, something that's been missing from Android… until now.
The next version of Google Android is due out this fall, and the Android L Developer Preview is already available. And it'll include a number of audio enhancements, including support for real-time audio processing.

Our favorite design piece last year, Glassybaby, is now opening a second shop in New York's West Village just down the street from our favorite old pub the White Horse.
Glassybaby keeps it simple. Hand-blown glass votives that are nearly indestructible and come in a variety of colors and hues.
Glassybaby was born after Lee Rhodes, a mother of three, learned she had lung cancer in 1998. To relieve her husband's stress, she bought him glass blowing lessons and he began to make votives, which she later started selling. Second is how great they look: they come in more than 300 deep colors, in a gently rounded form that enhances the appearance of the flame.

James O'Keefe, whose hidden camera outfit Project Veritas claimed another major scalp today with the resignation of NPR CEO Vivian Schiler, departed from his usual symbiotic relationship with conservative media guru Andrew Breitbart in releasing his latest project.
As Mediaite notes, some observers are questioning if this reveals fissures between the two. O'Keefe posted his famous ACORN videos to Breitbart's "Big Government" but gave news site The Daily Caller first crack at his latest video. Breitbart turned on O'Keefe in the press last year after a colleague of O'Keefe's revealed to the press that the conservative filmmaker was planning an elaborate prank in which he would lure a CNN reporter onto a boat with a hidden camera and attempt to seduce her."From what I've read about this script, though not executed, it is patently gross and offensive," Breitbart said in a statement at the time. "It's not his detractors to whom he also owes this public airing. It's to his legion of supporters."
Breitbart denied a split in an interview with Mediaite, however, saying "I've said all along that James needs to be an independent journalist. His ACORN videos weren't posted exclusively on Breitbart sites." He added, "The mainstream media uses me as a way to marginalize James … and James as a means to marginalize me."
TPM put in a request for comment to O'Keefe, but has not yet heard back.

I heard you on Moody radio and my heart was full of wonder. I heard as though God was saying this is true love one that is all giving and not expecting anything back in return. Be it material wise or physical. I praised God that moment! I could tell that you have a deep relationship to our Lord and Savior. A relationship that many of us could only dream of because we are all to busy in our daily lives to develop such love for our Lord. May God continue to bless, encourage, and strengthen you and Ian.

I'm an African, dabbling in different sects, c-t-s

It's hard to channel the sound when surrounded by modern appliances
I'm tryin' to be pious, when it seems like the prize is
Not a piece of pie but a slit, a width insignificant it's simple

'Cause we better off naked like when we was natives, laters
Yo, this is brown man for dummies
Whites think I'm money, blacks think I'm funny
