Exhibit 99.1
Exxaro announces its intention to begin a path to monetise its stake in Tronox in order to focus on core activities
|Exxaros board has determined that it will explore available alternatives to monetise its stake in Tronox in a thoughtful, efficient and staged process over time.
|Exxaro currently has beneficial ownership of 44% in Tronox; approximate value of USD $911 million, based on 51 million Class B shares owned by Exxaro and USD $17.80 closing share price as of March 7, 2017.
|Exxaro intends to apply the proceeds from any future sales to, amongst others, Exxaros core operations and to fund capital commitments.
|Additionally, Tronox has announced a definitive agreement to acquire the titanium dioxide business of Cristal for USD $1.673 billion of cash and stock representing 24% ownership in pro forma Tronox.
|Pro forma for the Tronox and Cristal transaction, Exxaros ownership would be diluted to approximately 33%.
|As Tronoxs largest shareholder, Exxaro intends to vote its shares in favour of the proposed transaction.
March 8, 2017
Diversified resources group Exxaro Resources Limited announced today that it has determined to begin a path to monetise its stake over time in Tronox Limited (NYSE:TROX), a NYSE-listed company engaged in the mining, production and marketing of inorganic minerals and chemicals.
The monetisation of its Tronox shares will facilitate Exxaros focus on and dedication to its core operations and provide a source of funding for its capital commitments to 2020 as previously communicated to the market.
Based on a careful strategic review by our management and our board, and after due consideration of the various alternatives available to us, Exxaro has decided that the monetisation of our Tronox shares over time is in the best interest of our shareholders and in accordance with our long-term strategic focus of creating value in our core operations, said Dr. Len Konar, Exxaros Chairman.
Exxaro will explore available alternatives to monetise its Tronox shares and will seek to find the best solution for Exxaro and its shareholders. A timeframe for the monetisation has not been set; however, it is expected to proceed in stages over time in an efficient and organised manner and would likely not begin until the second half of 2017.
Exxaro and Tronox have a strong, long-standing relationship that the companies intend to maintain through this period of transition, and Tronox has informed Exxaro that it intends to cooperate and assist in the monetisation process.
Additionally, in respect of the intended combination of Tronox and Cristal (the Proposed Transaction) announced by Tronox on February 21, 2017, Exxaro believes the Proposed Transaction is a compelling strategic transaction that could create substantial value for all stakeholders. Based on its current understanding of the Proposed Transaction, Exxaro intends to support the Proposed Transaction, which it believes could result in significant synergies for the combined company and offers a compelling opportunity for Tronox stakeholders, including Exxaro.
Upon the implementation of the Proposed Transaction, Exxaros 44% stake would be diluted to approximately 33% as a result of the equity consideration to be paid by Tronox to Cristals owners, and Exxaro may continue to nominate three members to Tronoxs board for as long as its ownership in Tronox remains at or above 30%, as provided in Exxaros shareholder agreement with Tronox.
J.P. Morgan is acting as exclusive financial advisor to Exxaro with respect to the Tronox and Cristal transaction. Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP is acting as Exxaros legal advisor.

These statements are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances and contain words such as believe, intended, expect, and anticipate, and include statements about expectations for future results and actions, such as statements concerning the potential sale of Exxaros Tronox shares and the potential proceeds and application of proceeds resulting from such sales, the expected completion of the Proposed Transaction, the expected benefits of the Proposed Transaction, any projections of earnings, revenues, synergies, accretion, margins or other financial items, any statements of intention, expectation or belief, and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Any statement in this announcement that expresses or implies Exxaros intentions, beliefs, expectations or predictions (and the assumptions underlying them) is a forward-looking statement. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may be beyond Exxaros control.

Tronox has stated that it intends to file relevant materials with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including a proxy statement, to seek shareholder consent to the Proposed Transaction. Tronox shareholders are urged to read the proxy statement (including all amendments and supplements thereto) and all other relevant documents regarding the Proposed Transaction when they are filed with the SEC or sent to Tronox shareholders as they become available as they will contain important information about the Proposed Transaction. Tronox has stated that shareholders may obtain a free copy of the proxy statement (if and when it becomes available) and other relevant documents filed by Tronox with the SEC at the SECs website at www.sec.gov, on Tronoxs website at www.tronox.com or by contacting Tronoxs Investor Relations at +1.203.705.3722.

In other words devout Catholics, Moslems, Jews, Baptists, Orthodox, etc. leave now or leave your faith at the door. Unless you're willing to condone the behavior you don't belong in our military. It would be interesting to look at the background of this guy.
No doubt, and homosexual activists in the military would target the chaplains first by demanding communion, couples counseling, etc.

My ex-husband used to tell me that I had a big head. He meant it literally… that I physically had a large noggin. And, as a result, he told me that I should never wear hats. As with most things, I did as he instructed.
One year post-divorce, one of my friends gave me a sock hat. I kindly explained that couldn't accept his gracious gift due to the fact that I have a big head and, therefore, should not wear hats. He burst out laughing.
What?! I asked, defensively.
You don't have a big head! He said, chuckling.
Yes, I do!
No, you don't! He insisted.
I've come a long way with my "big head" complex. I own a Colts hat that I'll occasionally wear, but I admittedly feel conspicuous in it.
I've always said that when I'm old, I'll wear a hat to church. I'm not sure what age is considered "old," but I'm not there yet.
I saw a play at the IRT a few months ago called Crowns, which was all about hats. They claimed that you have to have a certain "hattitude" in order to pull off a hat.
Perhaps it isn't an age issue at all for me. Maybe "hattitude" is what I'm lacking.
9 Responses to "Hattitude"
Its really, uh, smart don't you think? You know black is this year's pink. You deserve each other – this hat and you – you're both so….smart. You deserve each other, so here – out of the goodness of my heart.
2 things:
I know all of the Wicked Soundtrack (see above)
You don't have the big head. I do. I wore an XL football helmet. 🙂
What do you think, Zorak? 🙂
[…] really care about my cat's ear mites, the number of items in my check-out lane at Target, or how I'm self-conscious about having a big head?" Regardless, I keep getting comments and readers, so I must be doing something […]

Darkening Archipelago takes shape
Feb 23rd
In a flurry of spastic tapping that surprised even me, I finished the first draft of the Darkening Archipelago on Tuesday morning (February 20, 2007). In 28 days I wrote 310 pages and 90,000 words.
Inspired while revising Blackwater, the first in what I believe will be a series of environmental and social justice murder mysteries, for the Arthur Ellis Best Unpublished Mystery Award, I set a goal of writing first drafts of books two and three in the series by the end of March.
Revising Blackwater involved moving the important chapter where Cole learns of the murder of a leading proponent for the mine he has been hired to stop from a place 1/3 of the way into the novel to the very front. It also involved moving a scene from the prologue to a climatic scene further on the book. Doing this got me really jazzed about the characters and the story, and excited about the next two novels. I strengthened some characters, worked on dialog, and touched up some personalities that were a little rough around the edges. It was great fun!
There was some other forces at play. My other work as a consultant was quiet. There was money enough in the bank to pay the mortgage for a couple of months. And with the turning of the seasons back towards the light (Candlemass occurred half way through the writing of the Darkening Archipelago) I was able to resume my early morning writing. As an author, its important to recognize the conditions that allow for creativity to flow. Seizing those opportunities – even paving the way for them – is critical to the art form.
For the next week I'll be doing a preliminary edit of the Darkening Archipelago, then it will be onto book three, The Lucky Strike Manifesto.

Brisbane is brimming with creative talent and has many web designing companies with varied levels of recognition. Breaking into this market and earning a good market share is not easy. One needs to put in smart effort to grow your web designing company in Brisbane.
Market Right
Every business needs to be marketed and it can make or break your business. Adapting the perfect marketing strategy and techniques for your business is very important. Marketing doesn't end with posting an advertisement on a hoarding or online. The target audience has to be identified and you need to be clear about what you want to market. The more specialized your services, the more niche your company's offerings. Everyone wants a website better than others. Tell your target audience how you are different from the other companies in this field and how you can add value to their company's growth. A win-win situation is always sought after and will help you grow fast.
Instead of focusing only on new and potential clients, try to leverage your existing clients as well. With the growth in technology and competition, every company needs its websites to be kept up to date and change according to the customers' expectations. Serving such clients will ensure repeat orders and you will have a set of customers for life. This will not only bring in regular work and earnings but will also result in word of mouth advertising for your company, as recommendations and references are very important in this field.
Target the Locals
It is easy to get lost in the virtual world and forget the distance as everything is at your fingertips. But it is very important to target not only famous and growing companies across the sea but also companies and people on your street. Brisbane is the third most populated city in Australia and has many clients for you to grab. When you target the locals, they have a sense of belonging and comfort as you can be met in person. Many local businesses would be small and may not realise the importance of having a website, like your local super market, your grocer etc; these people know you personally and when you show interest in their business, they are ready to trust you and will stick with you through out.
Offer Packages
Web designing is not a cheap affair. One must be ready to shell out considerably when they want a good website. This is the same reason one hesitates to go to a professional web designer. The lack of knowledge of what is required to create a website or what all will be included in the cost is a big hindrance. Offer your services as packages rather than charging for each service separately. When the customer knows what he is paying for and what he would get exactly, it makes their decision making easier. You can offer your products as a package, like fonts, logos designs, templates etc. Packaging your service for a fixed price will enable easy choosing for the customers. Understand your market and figure out what is the need of the hour. Identify what service will be required in addition to certain products or vice versa and package them together for an attractive price. This way, your customer is not left high and dry not knowing how to use the products purchased from you. One may even go to a different company to avail the required service. Packaging them together will ensure you get the business.
Understanding the market and its needs is the key to grow any business anywhere in the world. Keep improvising and pay attention to the changing needs, your business will automatically grow.
Web Designing in Brisbane? Yes, You Can Grow!
Brisbane is brimming with creative talent and has many web designing companies with varied levels of recognition. Breaking into this market and earning a good market share is not easy. One needs to put in smart effort to grow your web designing company in Brisbane.

someone (not me haha) decided to buy this cutie solely for its colour, and she had no idea whatsoever of its function (no surprise on where i got that gene from haha). and that someone also decided to let me keep it :D
felt a bit awkward, and she gave no reason whatsoever. she just bought it and then asked me to keep it and use it. pelik kan? and since this is my mother we are talking about, so i accept je la hehehe
those who know me know that i'm the kind that prefer to read the manual. even the viva when i first had it i read the whole manual book! haha. so as usual i (just had to) read the manual for this Pinky (yup, that's the name i gave her! haha) and discovered byk bende rupenye bende ni ade. and my best guess would be that mama did not even know about it haha. i think she must have just gone into a camera shop and had a look around and then pointed out for the camera that her eyes liked the most, solely from the appearance and then bought it! mcm beli brg kat pasar..
anyway, i just discovered that i can switch the images by just 'tilting' or 'shaking' it. the camera can also self-rotate the images depending on how you hold the camera. then ade byk lagi function like you can set how long you want the self-timer to be, or to erase a selected lists of images in one go, even protect the images that you dont want to get erased accidently etc. ai.. long gone those simple digital camera that you just press a button, the image then appear on screen, then you decide wheather you want to keep it or not, then go on to the next image, then masukkan dlm computer. kan senanggggg..
oklah, got to main2 with this thing some more. nak mandi some more. i lurveeeee weekend hehe

Not familiar with the Pro-Ject but I own an older Rega P2. From what I've read I'd think the WT would play at a significanlty higher level than the P2 but haven't heard it in person so fwiw. Personally I lust after an Amadeus. Best of luck.

You will soon realize that I am on a quesadilla spree that isn't even close to over. I made this bad boy last night & I was very pleased with myself!
The onions were a tad charred but I actually enjoyed the flavor it gave them. They were, however, very hard to photograph!
They kinda look like fat, dark worms but they were both savory & sweet & they complimented the cheese very nicely. If you do not care for – or cannot find – Chipotle cheddar, any other cheese you might prefer in a quesadilla is certainly an option.
Grilled Zucchini & Chipotle Cheddar Quesadilla with Coca Cola Caramelized Onions
Zucchini – sliced thin & grilled (I dipped mine in Italian dressing first)
Chipotle cheddar (or other cheese) – sliced thinly
1 large red onion – sliced thinly
1/2 can Coca Cola
1 TBS brown sugar
2 tsp olive oil
1 TBS butter
Guacamole or parsley or cilantro or jalapeno as garnish
Grill the zucchini.
Heat the oil & HALF of the butter & the brown sugar. Add the onions & saute over medium heat for a good ten minutes – not stirring often so that they can brown. Add the remaining butter & stir occasionally for ten additional minutes. Once all the oil & butter are absorbed or evaporated – pour a little Coke in to deglaze the pan. As it gets absorbed, add the rest of the Coke. When the onions are completely soft & browned, set aside.
Then – simply assemble the quesadilla the normal way. Heat a dry pan. Place a tortilla in it. Layer the cheese, zucchini & some of the onions & fold the tortilla. I use a put lid to apply pressure & trap the heat. After a minute or two – flip the quesadilla. Garnish as you will & devour!

Not really a recipe this Wednesday but a list of stuff that you can serve if you want a Spanish tapas evening! And not much cooking involved, just opening cans, slicing and arranging on plates and in bowls:
Leftovers from a Spanish-themed dinner a few weeks ago…
Wednesday Tapas
- olives, both green and black – the classical Spanish green olive is stuffed with anchovies
- marinated anchovies – sometimes served on a small skewer with green olives (one of my favourite tapas but O usually thinks it's too expensive)
- tortilla (Spanish potato omelette – I have forgotten to publish a recipe on this classic and simple Spanish dish – promise to do it soon!)
- jamón, chorizo, lomo and other Spanish cured meats
- lots of thick bread slices (baguette)
- tomato salad with tuna and olive oil
- Manchego cheese in slices (O usually cuts the cheese in triangles)
- paté on small toasts
- pickled artichokes or alcachofas revueltas
- boiled eggs – cut the eggs in half, remove the yolk and mix it with mayonnaise and tuna. Put the mix back in the egg halves.
- mushrooms – fry them (whole if small, otherwise in halves) in olive oil, garlic, white wine and parsley. Can be served cold.
- pickled and canned seafood, such as langostillos, mejillones en escabeche (pickled mussels), almejas (clams), berberechos (cockle)…
- Ensalada Rusa
This kind of dinner is all about the presentation! Get out all your small bowls and pretty serving plates and lay out the food. Serve with Spanish red wine / beer / clara (shandy / panaché, i.e beer with lemonade). ¡Buen provecho!
Our Spanish Christmas Day dinner in 2007 in Puerto Rico!
I am not going to tell you what I thought that this looked like but rather have you guess what it is! What do you think O and his sister feasted on when we were in Spain?

how do i remove the steering wheel
2 Answers
their should be some screw around the wheel that you can take out
First things first. Disconnect you battery. Dont want to accidently set the air bag off. next remove the screw in the back of the steering wheel. this will allow you to remove the airbag. next remove the center nut on the steering wheel. make a reference mark on the steering wheel and shaft so you reinstall it the same way it came off. you'll need a puller to remove the steering wheel from the shaft. Once you have removed the wheel you can remove the covers on the steering column to expose whatever is hold the multi-function switch in

What can I do to achieve my retirement goal?
You can create an income stream in retirement in various ways
By OLM Desk
I have Rs 1 crore as savings and investments and I will be retiring in four years from now. I do not have any liabilities and have adequate health insurance. But, I do not have any pension. I am looking or Rs 1 lakh as pension every month when I retire. What can I do to achieve my retirement goal?
Puneet Kuckreja, Mumbai
You don't need to put money into a product that says it is a pension plan. You can create an income stream in retirement in various ways. With the retirement savings of Rs 1 crore, what you are aiming for is not possible because you have not factored in inflation and the period for which you will be creating this income stream. If you retire at 60, chances are you will live for another 20-30 years in retirement along with your spouse. You are not factoring in expenses on travel in case your children live abroad and so on.
What you mention as the monthly income that you will need once you retire, will be equivalent to Rs 75,000 of today. So, you will need a lot more than Rs 1 crore to maintain the cash flow you envisage in retirement. The way out for you is to either postpone your retirement by a few years in which time you should continue to earn and build your corpus or be realistic with what you will be able to have as income stream when you retire from the corpus you currently have.

CD REVIEW: Alia Lorae - The Mad and The Beautiful
By: Cyrus Rhodes
Artist: Alia Lorae
CD: The Mad and The Beautiful
Label: Independent Artist
Website: http://www.alialorae.com/
Genre: Alternative Electrinica, Goth Rock, Power Pop
Sounds Like: Evanescence, Berlin, Garbage
Technical Grade: 8/10
Production/Musicianship Grade:
Weakness: A Few Winded Songs
New York based Singer./Songwriter Alia Lorae just releaws3ed her latest CD entitled The Mad and The Beautiful in 2012. She has been described as "theatrical as much as it is musical. The techno beats get your heart pumping and the ghoulish tones keep your adrenaline racing. From beginning to end. (Alia Lorae) successfully allows you to escape from the real world and enter her metaphysical realm."
The CD kicks things off with the title track a mesmerizing intro piece that sets the stage rather appropriately for this dark and striking catalogue of music. This first piece wastes no time getting things off the ground with its pulsating rhythm, hooky musical flow against a grand mosaic of exotic soundscapes and the infectious vocal front from Lorae. Track 2 entitled "Modern Monsters" shifts gears with it's smooth as silk groove against heartfelt vocals and impressive vocal harmonies from Lorae and company. I would describe this impressive follow pieces captivating and mesmerizing. Track 3 "1,000 Years in Hell" shifts gears a bit with its thought provoking lyrical content, striking piano intro against heartfelt vocals that flows and ebbs its way though to emotional fruition. As the CD slowly unfolds I can hear many different musical textures reminiscent of Ace of Base, Berlin, Garbage, and even Evanescence. The music is extremely melodic but definitely brings to the table a lot of musical variety and much in the way of hooky melodies, sonic sound effects and catchy musical format. You will notice rich musical textures overflowing everywhere - from rocking rhythm guitar, to dynamic musical flow, think low end rhythms and beats against lush harmonies all built upon a solid rhythm section. The vocal abilities from Alia Lorae works extremely well within the confines of this catalog. Make no bones about it she's an impressive front woman (vocals and visuals) and delivers much in the way of emotion, reckless abandon and a seductive persona. She has an impressive falsetto and takes many vocal risks throughout the CD, indicating to me a strong and confident vocal ability. All band members play their parts extremely well song for song and note for note. The production value is Gold Standard and offers much in the way of thick low end frequency and crystal clear high end clarity. Kudos goes out to the top flight production value and impressive vocal presence from Alia Lorae. Let me go on record to say there's not a dull moment on the entire CD. From grooving "XXX" and striking "Mine" to hypnotic "Savage Thing" to mesmerizing "I'm not Here" this CD has something for just about everyone. There's also a bonus "Modern Monsters" video CD that comes with the package as well
All songs over 4 minutes tend to drag you to the finish line. Track 1 takes way to long to fade out. I also wish there were a few more live elements incorporated with the mix. The Piano was a step in the right direction. Things like distorted guitar, guitar solos, more solos in general, aggressive-distorted guitars, sporadic percussive elements would add even more dimension to the catalogue. The liner notes are somewhat lacking on specifics with regards to the behind the scenes Production work. I can't even find a release date anywhere on the CD. Ironically some of the aforementioned issues are not typical of Gold Standard CD Productions.
From start to finish The Mad and The Beautiful from Alia Lorae is a rock solid musical production prefect for Halloween College parties of late night Goth hangouts. It's an extremely consistent, catchy, and highly melodic. Its strength - it's just a blast to listen to with songs that are extremely catchy, and extremely marketable. The music will grab the listener refusing to let go. All in all latest release from Lorae combines amazing songwriting with top flight production touches/strokes and entertaining songs that will have you wanting and creaming more. more, more, more.

Justin prays for answers about a "high maintenance" woman in his life.
It's finally April, and you know what that means:
showers bringing flowers another cryptic sign from Justin Bieber that his epic romance with Selena Gomez might indeed be on-again!
The "Confident" singer shared a photo on Instagram with his hands folded in prayer-like repose, captioning: "Wondering if she's too high maintenance." "She," eh? Who could the Biebs possibly be referencing in front of his 15-million followers? #JudyAintTheOnlyJudge
It actually doesn't matter who he was talking about, because, as ladies ourselves, we want to share a helpful tip with Justin and, um, all of mankind. Think back to the last time you told one of us women to "Stop acting crazy!" or "Calm down!" or "Don't be so high-maintenance!" How'd that go? Not well? Huh, you don't say...

I'm currently working on an animated short film that revolves around aviation. It will be completely in 3D, but rendered in a cel shaded look. If you look at the background art in Futurama or Ghost in the Shell, that's the style I'm going for.
I've done a lot of 3D modeling over the years, but it's mostly been for custom game vehicles, game maps, and web videos. Game art is a completely different animal from film, since game models are generally low resolution in order to lighten processing loads. For the film, I'm shooting both for High Definition 1080p output and for the cel shaded look. I've never done anything on this scale before, so I want to make sure I do it right. The past few days have seen a lot of self-study and a ton of tutorials to ramp up my skills. Thank goodness for the Internet and helpful people on web forums.
The film is largely set on an airport. Here are some of the sets that I've been designing.
Fixed Base Operator Office
I hope the end result comes out well. It's one thing to think of an image or shot, and quite another to execute it. I hope I'm up to this...
Based on the script, the film should be about five minutes long. With regards to completion time frame, I'm adopting the Valve Software "When it's done" mantra. This is a labor of love and I'm not going to rush it, especially since I'm doing it all on my own. Not only does that include the animation, but I'll also be writing the music for it, recording the sound effects, creating special visual effects, motion graphics, etc.
It's a pretty big project. Wish me luck!

Fear is the enemy.
Fear is crippling.
Fear is blinding.
Fear is holding you hostage.
Fear is keeping you down.
Fear won't let you win the race.
Fear will strip your soul.
Fear will leave you shallow and cold.
Fear will be your master.
Why such vivid imagery of fear you might ask? Because fear keeps you, me and everyone else from achieving, having and doing the things we are destined to do. Fear is the great equalizer to great ideas, great accomplishments and a world of possibilities. Fear is where great things, great people go to die.
In visiting with so many of you these past few weeks, hearing hopes, dreams and aspirations for the new year ahead, the underlying theme in almost every conversation is...fear. "I am scared I won't have the courage to try for that promotion." "I am scared to put my idea on the table for fear of being laughed at." "I fear what might happen if I decide to leave this relationship and go it alone."
Whatever fear you may be facing know that it is a temporary road block to that which you are destined to do, to have, to achieve and to be.
Fear is what we are left with when we no longer have faith. Faith in ourselves. Faith in our abilities. Faith in what is possible.
Have faith my Ripple friend I believe in you. You too should believe in yourself.
Have faith in yourself and believe in your heart you are here to do what you are here to do. Do this and fear will find no crevice, foothold or ledge with which to plant itself and grow.
Go Forth and Believe In Yourself.....and see what Ripples come from it!
Ripple On!!!

This month's tip reminds you how important it is to take stock of what you're grateful for in life. It's a time to reflect on how you've been living your life this past year. It's a time to reflect on what you may need to let go of, what you may need to incorporate, and how you're going to move forward as you round out the end of 2013. Ask yourself: What do I want to create? What am I grateful for? What do I need to release in order to move forward? Take a few moments to sit and reflect on these questions. Write down your answers...they may surprise you.
Everyone has purpose in life. Simply, waking up in the morning and enjoying your cup of coffee is a way of thanking God that you're alive and Be-ing your purpose. It's the simple day to day things that make life worth while. Gratitude is the key for continuing to receive more blessings and more abundance into your life.
Your Clairsentience
As we celebrate Dia Los Muertos and All Hallow's Eve, better known as Halloween, we're reminded of the spirit world. The world of the spirit is usually considered "unseen" unless you're able to discern it with your intuitive abilities.
This month I invite you to refine your intuitive abilities by practicing your clairsentience. Everyone is born with clairsentience. Clairsentience or "clear-feeling" is the ability to sense the energy around you with your emotions, feelings and sensations. Clairsentience allows you to sense the spirit world. Remember, spirit energy is just another aspect of energy. For example, have you ever walked into a room and felt uneasy? It was your clairsentience alerting you to an energetic essence. Have you ever had a conversation withs someone and then all of a sudden felt uncomfortable? This too is your clairsentience in action. The feelings you felt were aspects of your clairsentience - you felt the energy of the person's words, their tone and the overall vibes associated with the conversation.
Pay attention to your "clear-feeling" abilities and notice the subtleties of your feelings and focus on interpreting them as accurately as you can. Take particular notice of when your feelings shift within you. Tuning into your feelings when you're interacting with others will help you strengthen your clairsentience. The more you practice, the better mastery you'll have with your gift of clairsentience and your ability to interpret the unseen world of energy and spirit around you.
April 2018

I fell in love with San Diego about 8 years ago. It was too easy for me...the friendly people always BBQ-ing, the vibe, it's genuine and fun. Aside from the weather that has me Oh So Spoiled, the sunsets, concerts, the food, festivals, street fairs, it truly has it's own culture and this city has me forever.
Skyline. Take your bike, take your dog, jog it out, or have a picnic. Or all of the above :)
I appreciate those overcast days when the sky looks like a sea of clouds. Makes me want to cuddle and make some yummy Caldo De Pollo.
Even though I do have mixed emotions about forcing the animals to be caged, Seaworld is an amazing way to get to see and learn about them.
The hiking, this is one of my favorite ways to spend time with Motha Nature
The concerts! I feel the musicians that visit, enjoy San Diego just as much as their fans enjoy their music.
Birch Aquarium is the best $11 I ever spent, their Sea Dragon exhibit will blow you away.
I visit Pho at the very least once a week and Phil's BBQ, all I have to say is "Extra hand wipes please"
San Diego Zoo is the world's largest zoo AND you can get married there. I love it and could pretty much reside there, right next to the Pandas, no prawlem.
The sunsets are my absolute favorite. Thank you camera phone, for being alright. You can see the brightest pinks and yellows while you watch the sun go into the water, all you need is a blanket.
I love it here and this is where my heart is. Well here and my kitchen.
Hasta Luego,

They should have better things to do in South Shields
In this blogposting...
*Robinson's Grand Tour
Now, cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war...
The next AGM will take place at 1100 on Friday 19 February at the cafe in Newcastle Central Library.
After all this time, you will not be surprised to hear that a splendid time is guaranteed for all.
For a man of my educated and bookish background, my naturally curious temperament, my mature years and my towering intellect (perm any three of four), I am strangely ill-travelled.
My first rip abroad took place when I was a mere 16 years old. It was a school trip which my mother could seriously not afford and I'm ashamed to say that it was probably wasted on me at the time. It was a coach journey that took in Bruges, Brussels, Cologne, Koblenz, Trier and Luxembourg.
I have discovered since that each of those towns and cities has its own claim to monumental, historical or aesthetic fame - and sometimes, all three - although, as is the way with these things, they were almost completely lost on me at the time.
I can remember a high tower in Bruges, a urinating statue in Brussels, nothing at all about Cologne, an amazing view of two rivers confluencing (?) in Koblenz, a Roman arch in Trier and two disembodied spires in Luxembourg. The rest passed me by completely.
The only mementoes I have of the trip are a few scratchy faded photographs and the clothes-brush which, for some unfathomable reason, I brought back as a gift for my terminally puzzled mother. (In that latter respect, times have not changed. I am the sort of ingrate son who can visit a city as spectacular as, say, Istanbul and bring her back a fridge magnet.)
Needless to say, that school trip did not engender in me a lust for travel (or a lust for anything else, more's the pity). This is probably just as well. We're talking 1966 here; most local people of my impeccably working-class background still went on holiday to Crimdon Dene, South Shields or Newbiggin-by-the-Sea. Cheap fares for the millions were decades away.
Having said all that, my next visit to johnny foreigner was truly memorable; indeed, I haven't forgotten any of it.
My four-day journey by train to Istanbul. It was the prologue to a three-week visit to my brother, who had the very great fortune to be living in that incredible city at the time. My memories of that journey, and of the holiday, are too numerous and detailed to go into here. They are however the subject of my very first travel-writing book: the ill-named On Foot And By Camel Through The Hindu Kush And Beyond, available in the less reputable charity shops and incineration centres.
Less astute readers may wonder where all this is leading. I'm beginning to wonder myself.
It took another ten years for me to pluck up the courage to venture beyond the trusty bulwarks of this sceptr'd isle again. By 1976 I was living in Sheffield (something of a foreign country itself) and had a shiny new boyfriend called Philip. Obviously feeling the need to broaden my ever-narrowing horizons, he suggested we have a holiday on the Greek Islands. Well, not all of them...
It was my first flight and I really was one of those oiks who say 'look at those people down there - they look like ants!' But the holiday - which was on Naxos and Paros - was unforgettable and, as you probably know, I've been besotted with the Greek Islands ever since.
After that, though, my wanderlust remained resolutely suppressed. Holidays were taken on narrowboats on canals or in log cabins beside Scottish lochs. I'm not complaining, mind you. They were great holidays.
The one unexpected exception occurred in 1998, when my old friend Brian invited me to spend a week or two with him in Kyoto. Yes, that Kyoto. Again, the details of those incredible days are too tedious to recount here but you can read all about my adventures in Japan in my misleadingly named second travel book Through Bolivia With A Kayak And A Cuckoo Clock.
Suddenly, however - and almost certainly prompted by yet another romantic entanglement - there came a flurry of flights to foreign parts. Several Greek Islands - Paxi, Symi, Halki, Crete - were ticked off the to-do list, I re-visited Istanbul (see above) and made my first visits to both Paris and Amsterdam. I have now visited those two startling cities quite often and they are etched forever inside what's left of my mind. They are almost second homes.
So what, I hear you ask, has any of this got to do with shunting trucks. Well....
My feet are itching once again. I've tried douching them in a tincture of aqueous cream and Body Shop Refreshing Peppermint and Tea Tree Foot Scrub but the itch remains. I realised some time ago that there was only one solution to the problem. Namely, to award myself the One Big Early Retirement Present to which I felt I was entitled on that dark and frosty morning when I finally walked out of the stiffly revolving doors of the Pink Palace.
So I'm going to go on a journey.
A big, long, eye-wateringly monumental journey around a sizeable chunk of Europe - my favourite continent, a citizen of which I am enormously proud to be.
My journey will take in mountains and lakes, rivers and fields, villages and towns and cities. I'll be passing through five countries and some of Europe's most stunning scenery to visit some of the world's greatest and most beautiful cities. En route I will greedily be devouring history, myth, art and culture. I'll be meeting new people, eating new food and doing new things.
And I'll be doing it all by train!
These days, it's the only way to travel. All over Europe they're busy building superfast railway lines and running elegant, streamlined trains on them. (Well, not here, of course, but everywhere else.) I bought Thomas Cook's European Rail Map and realised - in naive astonishment - that everywhere is connected to everywhere else. From the toe of Italy to the cliff-hugging fjord railways of Norway.
(Did you know there's a bridge over the sea between Denmark and Sweden? You can go by train from Newcastle to Copenhagen, Stockholm, Oslo and even St Petersburg.)
Now admit it - you're jealous, aren't you? You wish you were doing it, don't you? You want to come with me, don't you?
Well, you can. In a way.
It's taken me several very pleasurable weeks to work out the route I want to take but I've finally decided where I'm headed. Thanks to the internet, I even have a good idea about the exact times of the trains I need to catch.
And over the next few blogpostings I'll be detailing my route and timings and inviting you to join in the fun of planning it all.
If you have any experiences of the places I'll be visiting, I'll be keen to hear all about them. If you know of any sights, monuments, galleries, museums, parks and such that you think I might enjoy, tell me about them. The quirkier, the better (naturally).
If you can recommend any hotels or B&Bs, cafes or restaurants, local food and drink, I'll be delighted to know about them.
Tell me, too, about anything you think I should avoid.
If you want, you can even join in the research. Do what I've thoroughly enjoyed doing over the last few weeks. Make yourself a particularly strong mug of coffee, sit yourself in front of your computer and start daydreaming! Find websites that tell you things you think I should know about the places I'll be visiting and pass the lowdown on to me. After all, I may not have found the website that you've come across.
Be warned though. Once you start, it becomes addictive. You'll be sending me emails saying 'I know you're planning to get the 0945 train but I've discovered there's a Museum of Toilet Paper which doesn't open until 1000. Why not pay it a visit and then get the 1215 train instead?'
At least I hope that's the kind of email I get!
By the time I set off from Newcastle Central station in March, I hope to be equipped with the means to post blogs on the hoof, as it were. As I go, I should be able to keep you abreast of delights and disappointments, missed trains, jaw-dropping scenery, surprising people and new discoveries - many of which I hope you will have recommended to me in the first place. Isn't the internet amazing!
So watch this space over the next few days for details of my route. Then, if you'd like to...get to it!
(And a final heartfelt thankyou to Mietek and Neville, who have already sent in some suggestions!)

For one, it completely sold me on crop tops and the many different styles and ways you can wear them (hold off on the décolletage because mid-drift is IN). Whether it be classy with a sharp pencil skirt, bohemian with long flowing florals, or fem-chic with a pop of bright emerald shorts and a bejewelled belt–you can make it your own.
Florals and black & white stripes are still going strong, and the jumper has become THE must have look for the season. Also, coral, white linens, geometric prints, and ripped jeans are all beautifully incorporated into the collection and even just a few of these items can be intermixed and styled all summer long. Oh, and their skinny version of the Harem pant will have you SWOONING (I was, anyway :)).
"Costa Blanca's Spring/Summer 2014 collection is filled with pieces that are fresh and feminine, combining stripes and florals to classic prints that add to any wardrobe. Style is simple.Our new favourite essential is our crop tops found in many fabrics and shapes. This look is our favourite item to be worn with anything from a high-waisted skirt, thrown over a dress or paired down with jeans."

Challenging US Human Rights Violations Since 9/11
Activists, lawyers, students, teachers, union members, government officials, and judges will welcome this thoroughly researched, comprehensive examination of human rights violations in the wake of 9/11. Meiklejohn Civil Liberties Institute Executive Director Ann Fagan Ginger has created an accessible, well-organized reference work divided into six parts:Part I, "The Mobilization of Shame," describes executive orders and new laws violating basic rights, and citizen reactions, to add up the real score in the War on Terrorism.Part II, "Where the People and their Lawyers Can Go to Redress Grievances," spells out the complaint process through the little known Office of Inspector General, and in U.S. federal and state courts.Part III, "What the Government Is Committed and Required To Do in the United Nations and the Organization of American States," describes the reporting process and how it has brought about improvements in many countries, such as new treatments for AIDS.Part IV, "Report on Human Rights Violations," forms the bulk of the book. It describes all the relevant facts in 184 reports on 30 types of violations. Activists will find all the facts they need and lawyers can reference the specific laws being violated by government officials, military personnel, agents, and contractors.Part V, "Text of Petitions, Resolutions, Ordinances," spells out what has been proposed, and adopted, since 9/11 to stop violations.Part VI, "Text of Laws Violated and Ignored," provides the language of the U.S. Constitution, Bill Of Rights, Articles in the UN Charter, the Convention Against Torture, the Geneva Conventions, and other human rights and international law treaties the U.S. has ratified or signed.This is an indispensable tool for citizens and lawyers defending civil liberties in the era of the Patriot Act and the War on Terrorism.

We came back through Las Vegas in the daylight and Pops was driving so I did snap several pictures of casinos. That will make my son, Frankie, happy. He wanted to see pictures of them for some reason. Enjoy, Frankie. While we were driving in to Vegas there must have been some sort of traffic sweep going on because all along the highway the highway patrol had cars pulled over. I did get some pictures of that too. Lol
It didn't seem very long before we were back in Utah. I decided that since I had already seen most of this state and that I would be driving later that I better take a nap. I woke up in late afternoon and got to see a pretty sunset over Provo Lake. Utah is a very beautiful state. It definitely has something for everyone. We saw a good many hunters and several herds of mule deer and 1 big bull elk with about 6 cow elk. That is so neat to see.
Utah turned into Wyoming some time after dark and I was a little fearful that it would be steep and canyon-like and scary for me while I was driving but it wasn't. It was slow gradual descents with grassy sides. Pops fell asleep and I turned the radio up and sang along as I drove. I saw some really big rabbits. I mean big! I also saw several coyotes. They were probably looking for and eating the rabbits. Those big rabbits made me think of my friend, Doug Miller. He loves rabbits, probably a little too much, haha. Anyway, he would've liked those great big ones from Wyoming.
We pulled in to a truckstop for fuel and decided to shower and rest for awhile. We slept for about 2 ½ hours and then got moving again. Pops was driving this time. After about an hour it started to break daylight. It was the most spectacular sunrise. I took a picture with my cell phone and sent it to a couple of people. Everyone agreed how pretty it was.
We really enjoyed Wyoming. I think we agree that it was probably now our favorite state. Then it was onto Nebraska. It is a lot like Pennsylvania in looks. It has gentle rolling hills and mountains, trees and fields. Although some of it resembled Wyoming and parts was like Utah. We saw a badger there. For real, a badger. Then we saw more of them. I was texting with my son, Drew and asked him if Nebraska was the badger state. He said no, that Wisconsin was.
We stopped at a rest stop and climbed a rock mountain with the dogs. That was nice, except for the second time we found the jagger burrs. They stuck all through my crocs. At least the dogs didn't get into them this time.
Drew told me that he has now lost 100 pounds. Good for you, Drew.
Nebraska has a lot of deer just like Pennsylvania. It was warmer than I expected it to be.
Iowa was a farming state. We came through it in the dark so it's not easy to explain how it was. One thing I do know for sure about the part of Iowa where we passed through is they have so many windmills. Fields and fields of windmills.
Then we were in Illinois. It also is a lot of farm lands. When we came to the city of Chicago I was driving of course. I drove right in. We got there early in the morning and traffic was light. There was a lot of traffic on the way out. We sat still in traffic for a long time. We took our layover at the O'Hare Airport. Wow, big. The rest area there was called an oasis. It was on both side of the highway but had a connecting see through courtyard over the highway. You could sit at the tables and eat while the traffic flowed underneath you.
We were offered a load that picked up in Indianapolis, IN and delivered to Newark, DE. It was a truck to truck transfer. We met the other driver at the FedEx Freight Dock Yard and he unloaded at a dock and then we backed in and his load was loaded onto us. We stopped at a Walmart there to take a nap. We went inside to use this restroom. While in there we saw a very interesting fellow. He was very tall and thin. He had high chunky heeled shoes, a navy tight shirt and khaki pants. He had long straight black hair. He had plucked, arched eyebrows and eyeliner and lipstick. He had long fingernails painted yellow. Oh boy. Let's get out of here!
We got to the truck to rest. I was not feeling good at all. I have had such problems with my ears and sinuses ever since we crossed the Rockies. I had a headache and was in bad pain. Pops left me rest. He did more of the driving. I felt a little better when I woke up. Thanks, dear. I love you.
This morning while driving I started to pass areas that were familiar. We were in Pennsylvania. I so wanted to go home. Hopefully, we can go home tonight. I made it to within 15 miles of our destination and then ran out of driving time. Pops took over and drove us right in. We got unloaded and called our owner. She said "check out and take your truck out of service and go home. " Yippee, I love you, Shirley. See you in 10 days. I'm going home.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bus Accidents in Alhambra
Because there are often dozens of passengers on board, many bus accidents result in numerous injuries. If you or a loved one has been involved in one of these crashes, be sure to consult an experienced Alhambra bus accident lawyer right away.
At the Law Offices of Christopher Montes de Oca, we have served countless injury victims throughout Southern California, and we work hard to hold negligent parties accountable for their actions. We keep you informed throughout the process as we work together to secure the compensation you need and deserve to cover medical bills, loss of wages, pain and suffering and other damages.
Determining fault after a bus accident in Alhambra
There are a number of parties who may be at fault for a bus accident, and our Alhambra personal injury attorneys' approach to pursuing compensation depends on the nature of the crash and the individuals and entities involved. The responsible parties may include the following:
- Bus driver: Bus operators have a responsibility to keep their passengers safe and avoid engaging in activities like using a cell phone, eating and driving recklessly.
- Bus company or transit agency: The businesses or entities who own and operate buses need to ensure their vehicles are in optimal working order — and that their drivers are properly trained before allowing them out on the road.
- Maintenance provider: Many bus companies and transit agencies contract third parties to service and repair their vehicles. If one of these contractors fails to properly maintain a bus and an accident results, that company may be liable for any injuries that occur.
- Equipment/parts manufacturers: Buses have a lot of moving parts, and if one of them fails, the risk of a serious accident drastically increases. Manufacturers may be liable for crashes resulting from defective bus parts.
What you should do after a bus crash in Alhambra
After a bus accident in Alhambra, your first step should be to seek medical assistance, if necessary. If you are able, you should gather as much information as you can, including the license plate numbers of all vehicles involved and the contact information of the bus driver and any other parties involved.
It's also a good idea to take photos of the crash scene, using your cell phone. Key evidence to document includes damage to bus and other vehicles, along with where you were sitting when the accident took place. If there are skid marks at the scene, be sure to take photos of them, as well.
After that, look for any witnesses to the accident and get their contact information, including phone numbers, addresses and email addresses. Write down the time of day the crash occurred and the weather conditions, along with any other details you deem important. Do not give a written or recorded statement to anyone, and do not sign anything from an insurance company.
Once you've left the accident scene, call a bus accident lawyer in Alhambra right away. These professionals will advise you on next steps.

Whether your accident in Alhambra involved a school bus, local bus or a party bus, filing a bus accident lawsuit can be a complex process, as number of entities may held responsible for the accident.
Our bus injury lawyers are dedicated to protecting the rights of individuals who have been injured in bus accidents across the Alhambra. Moreover, we remain in touch with our field experts from medicine, accident scene and automotive safety, so that right claim can be created for you.
Common Causes Handled by Bus injury Lawyers
When a bus driver breaks the rule, and an accident occurs, they may stand responsible for any damage caused. Some of the causes which may indicate negligence on part of the driver and why you need a bus injury lawyer in Alhambra are:
- Driver Fatigue: Driving any vehicle when fatigued is extremely unsafe and the risk increases exponentially when it comes to commercial bus transport. As the commercial drivers are more prone to untreated sleep disorders, the chances of bus accident increases up to 8 times.
- Over-speeding: Bus drivers are usually trained with a tight driving schedule and are encouraged to speed so that time limit can be met.
- Improperly trained bus drivers: When there is a delay caused by weather, traffic, or road construction, improperly trained drivers make up the time by driving unsafe.
- Poor bus maintenance/ safety violation: Buses are generally rushed over their safety checks, regardless of what measures are missing in completing the maintenance program.
Our bus injury lawyer will help you gather all evidence showing exactly how the accident occurred and caused injuries to passengers and who all are responsible for the devastating event.
If you or a loved one were injured in a bus accident, call our Alhambra lawyers at 562-901-4664.

Episode 1 – Females Only
Meanwhile, Shoshanna has undergone a transformation from girl-next-door to party animal, and I'm not liking it. She was the one decent person in the group, so the change is a jarring contrast. I get that she wanted to experience new things, but damn, couldn't the writers have her do that while keeping her charming attitude?
Jessa is in rehab and is… being Jessa, I guess, with an abrasive attitude that gets to the center's members.
She outs a lesbian to the group and proceeds to go down on her, which is, as I said, Jessa being Jessa. IDK, I think sometimes they just plunk her in a scene and go, "Let's make her do something cuh-razy!"
Episode 2 – Truth or Dare
Episode 3 – She Said OK
Episode 4 – Dead Inside & Episode 5 – Only Child
I can't even bring myself to watch episode 6, it's just so bad now. Back to watching Penn & Teller: Bullshit!

The Ben GunnSociety
Zarina Silverman is a Los Angeles artist who has frequently been described as a "magical unicorn," for the unique distinction of having been born and raised in L.A. as well as her artistic talent and versatility.
Zarina's masterful use of a wide array of traditional studio materials belies decades of experience working with her hands. Some of her earliest memories are of wanting to look at and make art, and she was fortunate to have had access to public programs that supported the arts in education, along with teachers who understood the transformative power of the creative act. Her most sophisticated pieces often involve skills she first encountered in school as a child, honed over a lifetime of practice to be able to create objects of great beauty. However, she firmly believes not all art must necessarily be beautiful - to the contrary, that the artist's job often requires holding up a mirror to the parts of society we would rather not talk about, taking the unspeakable and rendering it visible for all to contemplate. Her work is in turns playful and thought provoking, inhabiting the space between the personal and the universal.
In 2002, Zarina agreed to sing backup vocals on some songs her husband had written, just for fun. The resulting self-published album, for which she also supplied the cover art, surprised everyone involved in its making by garnering radio play; thoughtful, positive reviews; and invitations to perform at festivals and other events. Though shy at first, Zarina was quickly revealed to possess a rich, powerful alto voice, eventually taking the lead in live performances and on subsequent recordings, including songs of her own composition. In 2013 she auditioned for Angel City Chorale, and sang in her first choral concert a few months later, at their 20th Anniversary celebration. She has since performed with the venerated choir at Carnegie Hall in NYC and recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London.
Around the same time as she started singing, Zarina began taking dance lessons for the first time since early childhood, and the two disciplines met in the stage act she put together with her husband and the loose band that formed around his concept. While she had initially gotten into dance as a fitness alternative to the gym, she became increasingly interested in exploring a wide range of dance styles, including Classical Egyptian, Turkish-American, Lebanese, Nubian, Uzbek, Polynesian, ballroom, jazz, tap,and even ballet. Zarina performed regularly in showcases, parades, and festivals for over ten years, sparking the personal exploration of issues surrounding cultural and social identity, body image, cultural appropriation, and stereotypes about sexuality, gender, and race, all of which have returned full circle back into the visual art she creates in her studio in Hollywood.
In addition to the visual and performing arts, Zarina has over two decades of experience in education: as a student teacher, public school teacher, private art instructor, and as a parent volunteer at the local elementary school, where she became affectionately known as "Mama Z." Her murals grace the walls of schools and homes around Los Angeles, and she is popular as a face painter at special events.

n Acta Germanica : German Studies in Africa - Subalterne konnten sprechen
(Dis-)Positionen von AfrikanerInnen und Afro-Amerikanern in und zu Deutschland und Österreich des 19. Jahrhunderts
The subaltern could speak. (Dis-)positions of Africans and Afro-Americans in and towards Germany and Austria in the latter nineteenth century
This article analyses five rare voices of African and African American visitors to Germany and/or Austria between 1847 and 1897: Kwasi Boakye and Jabolëy Domëi from the Gold Coast, J.C. Nayo Bruce from Togo, Friedrich Maharero from former German Southwest Africa and W.E.B. Du Bois from the United States of America. Against the backdrop of Mary Louise Pratt's concept of contact zones between colonized and colonizers, Pierre Bourdieu's concept of social space and Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak's question "Can the subaltern speak?" this paper investigates how these travellers' short texts represent the speakers' experiences with and relationships to the visited German and/or Austrian Other; which positions in the shared social space they occupied; what traces of a subject position and agency we can find; and how the speakers' positions vis-à-vis existing power structures shaped their dispositions vis-à-vis the cultures they visited.

Conversations with Strangers
For the second or third time in the last few weeks, I have passed a badly bruised young, Anglo woman wearing a full arm sleeve/cast. Each time my eyes fall upon her blue marks and cuts, I'm thrown off guard. This time as the victim passed, another woman walking along side me turned to me in dismay at what she just witnessed. We instantly started to surmise that what we saw was not the result of a car accident but something domestic in nature.
The witness and I began analyzing the types of bruises, their location on the upper body, and the arm cast worn by the victim. We saw ourselves in the bruises and spoke of how so many women fear walking away. It was all too familiar; but we had picked ourselves up and moved on. It was survival, after all.
Then the witness told me of how she intervened on behalf of her nephew's wife who had been abused by the woman's family member. She described how the victim could not speak for herself while in the hospital, after her husband tore out his wife's hair; how the abuser made excuses for injuries incurred by the wife. As it turned out, the witness, who was from Africa, was a nurse.
What to do? Are we to be silent witnesses to each others' pain and suffering?

An Impressive First Night of PhilRAD at the Capitol TheatreDecember 30th, 2014
PhilRAD – Capitol Theatre – December 29, 2014
About 80 minutes into their first set last night at the Capitol Theatre, PhilRAD finally paused and the audience let out a collective sigh that was easily translated to "What just happened!?" The band—consisting of four-fifths of the upstart Grateful Dead cover outfit Joe Russo's Almost Dead with Phil Lesh leading the way on bass—had just opened their sold-out three-night run with a twisted jam-filled expedition that on paper looked like "Truckin'" > "Jack Straw" > "Estimated Prophet" > "Eyes of the World" > "Crazy Fingers" > "King Solomon's Marbles." It was like watching a kid get a new bike with training wheels for Christmas and in the course of an hour or so go from wobbly beginner to look-ma-no-hands to X Games medalist. The stretch was full of highlights: Russo on drums cracked open the jam in "Truckin'" like an egg as Tom Hamilton and Scott Metzger played a runny-yolk two-guitar jam; Marco Benevento led a glorious jam in "Jack Straw" on the grand piano; five guys seemingly played at five different tempos but all somehow fit together in a feeling-out-each-other-moment in "Estimated"; Metzger crafting a peak-upon-peak solo in "Eyes"; and, of course, Lesh playing the adult in the room with his beautiful, exploratory bass playing. If it was sloppy at times, the music seemed to benefit: This material longs for looseness and the surprises that come with imperfection.
Everyone had a moment to shine, individually and in the group dynamic. Russo was in fine form, a firm hand on the back of the bicycle seat that knew exactly when to let go and when to rein in things. A first-set highlight was the jam out of "Crazy Fingers," which under Russo's guidance went free then beautiful then funk-rave until finally crashing into "King Solomon's Marbles." The crowd reveled in each moment that was half nostalgia, half groundbreaking. There were sing-alongs for their old favorites and revelations at new discoveries in decades-old material that lurked unknowingly beneath the surface.
The second set, which alternated between straight-up guitar rocking, out-there space-drifts and shall-we-dance? grooving, was somehow even looser, and the surprising second song could sum it up. "Throwing Stones" formed out of a free-flowing underwater jam lead by Benevento that finally coalesced around the up-tempo theme. Metzger, sounding every bit like Bob Weir on vocals, led the crowd in a fist-pumping sing-along before turning in on Russo for a climactic, crowd-pleasing guitar solo. After another verse, Lesh and Hamilton bounced on a theme that as much Sly and the Family Stone as the Dead, which Russo somehow brought back for a short bit before things went into space-funk-fusion for an unexpected segue into "Dark Star." That tune was a platform for some of the most inventive exploring of the night, ceding way to a raging-under-the-red-lights cover of "All Along the Watchtower," plus a jam-fueled "The Wheel." Sure, they occasionally lost track of where they dropped the breadcrumbs along the way, but that was OK, Lesh or Russo eventually brought them back to where they began. PhilRAD rounded out the superlative set list with "Terrapin Station" > "I Know You Rider" before encoring with a heavy-boogie version of "Shakedown Street," white lights whirling around the Cap like the band had set off a fire alarm. As great as the show was, there was a definitive just-getting-warmed-up feeling in the room. Two more nights of jams, surprises and, I'm sure, people in the crowd looking at each other wondering, "What just happened!?" —A. Stein | @Neddyo

Everyone has a least one or two tucked away in the dark recesses of their closet — ugly old sweaters that, for whatever reason, haven't been worn for years. But instead of hanging onto those neglected garments as a reminder of your lack of style, they could go on to make a real difference in the life of a shelter dog.
The Washington County Animal Shelter in Tennessee devised a wonderful way to keep its residents cozy and warm over the colder months. For the last few years, the shelter has been appealing to the public to donate winter clothing for pets to wear.
The shelter does have a heater for when it's extra chilly outside, but it can still be a challenge to ensure everyone is comfortable while they're in the play area outside.
"We have doggy doors that lead to our outdoor cages. Those are left open during the day, which lets the cold air in," one shelter staffer told The Dodo.
Unfortunately, with around 100 dogs waiting for adoption at the shelter at any one time, there's usually a shortage of sweaters to go around..
"We never have enough of the bigger sweaters, so we can use any amount of them," the staffer said.
Dogs at the Washington County Animal Shelter aren't the only ones who'd be happy to wear your old sweaters. Countless shelters across the country, and particularly those in frigid climes, would likely be thrilled to receive donated cold weather clothing for shelter pets.
A single sweater can be used to make three separate dog sweaters. Here are some helpful instructions for upcycling sweaters for larger dogs, and instructions for upcycling sweaters for smaller dogs.
Contact your local animal shelter to find out more ways to help.
