Perspective, photo realism, true-to-life portrait -- this is what I did in the years of study, and I threw it all overboard. I came back to the principles of medieval painting.
There is a turmoil in the religious world that I feel sorry for, but not for the fact that purification is happening. A purification which has been overdue. I see it from a distant point of view. The traditional ways of handling "inner" problems don't work anymore.
As I am no longer part of the christian world, I watch with mild woe how people have to find a new base to ground their faith and confidence on. The more the center of this medieval world tries to keep things as they are, the more fragile the system. --
Whatever you celebrate today, I wish you very happy holidays. May the essence of the celebrations radiate over the beings and give them happiness and hope.

Due to these problems I lost Art Sparker's comment, but found it in Google where it was lingering, and reconstructed it.

Yes, there was some problem earlier. Oh yes, the medieval world, the simple understanding that goes with the flat rendering, which our complex reality, with its more than three dimensions, no longer allows. But our vision is limited and our wish for simple truths is very strong. I like the characters in the alleys between the houses.

Were walking their rounds
And binding with briars
My joys and desires.

I actually enjoy the lack of perspective. There is much to be said for the European World-view of the pre-Renaissance.

Gilligan finally got off the island and returned to his passion: playing chess for money in the park.
Which one am I?
They look over my shoulder and into my eyes and they say ,"Pawn.".
I have been all but Queen. And it was the White Queen that knighted me to pawnhood.
My past is before me- flashing back good integrated and evil cubed . If the sun comes up tomorrow I will know for sure that a pawn can make a checkmate ,at least for a King as careless as I was ,when I was a King.
last move
some choices are clear
with limited time
Game of Life?
Chess is the game
That strips me of my illusions
Of supernatural intelligence.
I cannot plan
Nor hold a scheme
But act on impulse
As if the game were true:
A battle for a kingdom
Where courage and gallantry
May win the day
And where a pawn
Can become a Queen.
Chess is the game
That strips me of my illusions
Of the finer things in life.
That valiant knights
And devious bishops
And lovely queens
And helpless Kings
Should act in chivalrous ways
And virtue be rewarded.
How else did I end this way,
Seated here, homeless,
A wanderer with wandering wits?

I've been in school for about a week, and it sucks. School is so boring and hard. I wasn't expecting to have this much homework in the first week and a half! I've had homework in every single class every night. I have two classes with freshman, and I guess because I'm one of the older ones in the class I find them so immature. They are loud and annoying. But I guess thats because they're 14ish, and I'm almost 16. I've always acted older than I am. And, the dress code is getting worse and worse. Its sad when almost all the girls are praying for the school to change to uniform. So this is why I haven't been updating as much as I've wanted to. But its a 3 day weekend, and I'm going to update, I even have pictures if you can believe it.

The Feast Day of Saint Jerome
September 30 marks the Feast of St. Jerome, a Doctor of the Church and a master of the Latin language. Jerome was a complex man that history has not devoted nearly enough attention to — I could scarcely find many videos or approachable short biographies online to post here (though please do if you find any).
While hardly ideal, the Wikipedia entry about St. Jerome is a start, and of course there is the Family of St. Jerome society right here in Florida (see here). Try to spend a little time learning about St. Jerome, a man who changed history in many ways, particularly on his feast day. And feel free to share any thoughts here or on our Facebook Page.

"The Creator has not thought proper to mark those in the forehead who are of stuff to make good generals. We are first, therefore, to seek them blindfold, and then let them learn the trade at the expense of great losses."
"This is the truth: as from a fire aflame thousands of sparks come forth, even so from the Creator an infinity of beings have life and to him return again."
"There is only one kind of freedom and that's individual liberty. Our lives come from our creator and our liberty comes from our creator. It has nothing to do with government granting it."
"The Bible is the only credible guide either as to the real relationship between man and the earth and the great Creator of both or concerning the purpose of the creation of both."
"What surprises me most about God is that the creator of the universe should want a relationship with me."

"Our creator is the same and never changes despite the names given Him by people here and in all parts of the world. Even if we gave Him no name at all, He would still be there, within us, waiting to give us good on this earth."
"If one could conclude as to the nature of the Creator from a study of his creation it would appear that God has a special fondness for stars and beetles."
"Today is a celebration of hope for the Iraqi people. The Iraqi people can now take control of their government and their future by creating a society that protects the rights endowed to us by our creator - life, liberty and freedom."

Baku. 25 June. REPORT.AZ/Britain's representative on the EU executive in Brussels, Financial Services Commissioner Jonathan Hill, said on Saturday he was resigning following the referendum vote for Brexit which he had campaigned against.
Report informs citing Ria Novosti, this information was published on the official site of Eurocomission.
"As we move to a new phase, I don't believe it is right that I should carry on as the British commissioner as though nothing had happened," Lord Hill said. "In line with what I discussed with the president of the commission some weeks ago, I have therefore told him that I shall stand down."
"I wanted it to end differently and had hoped that Britain would want to play a role in arguing for an outward-looking, flexible, competitive, free trade Europe. "But the British people took a different decision."

Les Vins de Bourgogne and Place de Vosges
May 10, 2013 § Leave a comment
Les Vins de Bourgogne is an original vintage poster illustrated by Guy Arnoux advertising wines from France's Burgundy region. The poster shows a 17th-century military captain reclining under a canopy of grapes, hinting that the wine has been aged to perfection. This beautiful piece was printed in the 1920's using stone lithography.
If you visit Paris, make sure to go to Place des Vosges, a lovely park in the Marais which was built by Henry the 4th and inaugurated in 1612. Place Des Vosges is a formal garden, it features plane trees planted in allees, and triangles of grass. There is a perfect geometry to the place. It is surrounded by well appointed buildings, with shutters and steeply pitched blue slate rooftops.
As is the case in much of Paris, the bottom floor of many apartments is used for storefronts and restaurants. You can have lunch at Ma Bourgogne, and watch the steady stream of people walk in and out of the gates of Place des Vosges. Visit their website to get a taste of this wonderful place.

Josh McDaniels: the 2010 version of Lou Saban
In watching the Denver Broncos this year in my 42nd year of owning season tickets I've had a strange sense of deja vu. Today it hit me - Josh McDaniels was the 2010 version of Lou Saban!
Saban was the Broncos head coach from 1967 to 1971. Both were known for:
Poor drafting
Saban drafted infamous players like cornerback Grady Cavness, a 2nd rounder who never panned out. Josh McDaniels, despite a boatload of early round picks, made a number of questionable draft selections (Richard Quinn, Knowshon Moreno with pick #12, Alphonso Smith, and more).
Draft pick giveaway
Both Saban and McDaniels didn't seem to value draft picks and didn't hesitate to trade them away. Saban's worst trade was two number ones for quarterback Steve Tensi. McDaniels worst move was a future #1 for a 2nd rounder so he could draft cornerback Alphonso Smith. McDaniels also had a habit of trading picks away to move up in the draft to make questionable selections.
Sideline demeanor
Saban and McDaniels were known for their sideline blowups. Saban "fired" star Floyd Little in one game. McDaniels famous "just win the ***** game" comment on national TV last Thanksgiving was the talk of the NFL, and this season he chewed out Richard Quinn in the opener in front of teammates.
Unrecognized talent
Both Saban and McDaniels didn't use the talent already on the roster. Saban tried to convert Curly Culp to the offensive line, gave up on Culp, and dealt him to Kansas City where Culp became an all pro. Saban also gave up on Marlin Briscoe, his best quarterback. Briscoe later switched positions to wide receiver and made the pro bowl with Miami. McDaniels worst blunder was dealing running back Peyton Hillis, who is now starring with the Cleveland Browns. I won't even mention the Cutler trade.
Trading draft picks for old vets
Both Saban and McDaniels wasted draft picks, trading them for short term veteran nfl help. Saban once traded a #2 pick for San Diego running back Dickie Post. McDaniels made trades with New England for questionable veteran talent, like LeKevin Smith (later waived) and Lawrence Maroney.
Saban was not all bad, and there were also positives to the McDaniels regime. The Broncos were a minor league operation before Saban arrived. I remember going to games as a kid in the mid 60's and seeing the Broncos practice field in the parking lot of the old Bears Stadium. Saban changed all that. He established Bronco offices and a practice field on north I-25, separate from the stadium. These facilities pale in comparison to present day Dove Valley, but they were a big upgrade from the shoestring budget Bronco operation before that. Saban did draft "the franchise" Floyd Little #1, and had some big wins in his Denver tenure (including home wins in back to back years of the defending Super Bowl Champion). Josh McDaniels brought his quarterback coaching skills to the Broncos, and he has worked wonders with previous journeyman Kyle Orton. McDaniels also got the most out of wide receiver Brandon Lloyd.
When the Broncos fired Lou Saban they eventually replaced him with John Ralston (after interim coach Jerry Smith). Ralston was a terrific judge of talent and drafter, who stocked the team with players that eventually contributed to the 1977 Super Bowl team. The 2010 Broncos need the same thing - a solid GM who can make better draft picks and trades than McDaniels. Here's hoping that Broncos owner Pat Bowlen hires a strong GM first, and then let the GM pick the coach.

WOODSTOCK – McHenry County Board members asked few questions and expressed no opposition Thursday regarding a proposed referendum to abolish the recorder's office.
Board members will vote Tuesday evening whether to put the referendum to voters on the March 2018 primary ballot. But their lack of concerns at Thursday's nonvoting Committee of the Whole meeting indicated that they likely will move forward the plan.
The resolution board members will vote on was drafted by Recorder Joe Tirio, a Republican who won election on a platform to eliminate the office, as well as Republican County Clerk Mary McClellan and board Chairman Jack Franks, D-Marengo. Like they did at a committee meeting in which the resolution was moved forward, all three vocally supported the initiative before the full County Board.
"Reducing the tax burden in McHenry County for years and decades to come is going to require thinking outside the box and putting aside the notion that we can make long-term tax relief sustainable without thoroughly rethinking the way we do things," Franks said.
Should voters approve the referendum, the office of recorder will be merged into the county clerk's office and will cease to exist Dec. 1, 2020, the day after Tirio's first – and therefore last – term as recorder expires.
The recorder's office, which has 3.4 million documents on file, is responsible for recording, retrieving and maintaining land records and real estate transactions, subdivision plans, military discharge papers and other records.
Most of the state's 102 counties have a combined clerk and recorder's office because state law requires a county to have at least 60,000 people to separate them. But with the advance of scanning and computer storage technology, several of the handful of counties with separate offices have consolidated them as a cost-cutting measure.
Tirio, McClellan and Franks support asking the question in March rather than the November election to give both offices and county staff an extra seven months, should voters approve the plan, to prepare.
It also would allow those preparations to be factored into the budget for 2019.
Only two board members asked questions regarding the potential consolidation.
Don Kopsell, R-Crystal Lake, asked about how county office space might be allocated with a consolidation. James Kearns, R-Huntley, expressed concern about what could happen to the process should Tirio run against McClellan next year for county clerk. McClellan's first term expires next year.
"We could have a big mess here if you two start fighting … over your offices," Kearns said.
Tirio said after the meeting that he has been contemplating a run for county clerk, but said that both he and McClellan would not take their eyes off the prize of eliminating the recorder's office.
"There is no reason why Ms. McClellan and I, if we were to find ourselves in opposition of one another, can't carry on business like responsible adults and get the work of the people done," he said.
The Ad Hoc Committee on Government Consolidation voted last week, 6-0, to recommend putting the referendum on the March ballot.
However, one or two County Board members have indicated they might vote against the measure in favor of putting it on the November ballot, where they argue turnout will be higher.
McClellan and supporters of a March referendum have argued that referendums drive up voter turnout.
Voters in other counties have chosen to eliminate their recorder's offices in recent years. Recorder's offices were consolidated in 2011 in Tazewell County, in 2012 in McLean County, in 2014 in Peoria County and last year in Cook County.

Just recently, last April 18, 2017, United Overseas Bank (UOB) released a big announcement regarding their new tie up with KrisFlyer.
This new tie up between the two companies produced the establishment of a new savings account that provides a benefit to account holders by giving these customers air miles when they save or spend.
Starting April 19, 2017, the Krisflyer UOB account has been made available for acquisition to the public. Customers who have at least S$350,000 and above in their account balance, will be rewarded with 5.4 Krisflyer miles after spending a dollar with the use of the Krisflyer UOB debit card. For those who have S$100,000 – S$350,000 in their account balance, a reward of 3.4 Krisflyer miles will be given for every dollar spent.While in the case of their customers who have even less, which is S$3,000 – S$100,000, in their account balance will rewarded with 1.4 Krisflyer miles for every dollar spent.Krisflyer and UOB clarified that their customers would have to spend at least S$500 dollars per calendar month in order to be rewarded with Krisflyer miles on their spending.
For customers who are able to sustain the minimum average balance of S$20,000 in their account and as well as able to spend S$1,000 every month for 12 months would then be rewarded with 16,800 KrisFlyer miles. And this total number of Krisflyer miles is equivalent for redemption of a flight to Bali, Langkawi, and Lombok, aboard with either Singapore Airlines or SilkAir. UOB stated that in 2016 alone, 22% of spending made by their customers with the use of UOB credit and cards came from expenditures on travel, and a total of 37% were on flights. 60% of the expenditures on tickets were mostly with flights with Singapore Airlines. The usage of debit cards for travel has increase to 15%.And for the past 2 years, UBO's spending on debit cards have risen to 40%.
While for credit cards, the common reward given to customers are air miles, Krisflyer being the most popular among them. There are also other benefits and rewards for their customers with other companie, Scoot and TigerAir.
This is how it works, example: For customers who purchase tickets on either Scoot or TigerAir while using their Krisflyer UOB debit card on the designated website or through the mobile banking app of UOB, which is UOB Mighty, the reward would be that these customers are given an additional 5kg on their baggage allowance if they will buy at least 20kg for their baggage allowance. Krisflyer and UOB emphasized that the establishment of the new Krisflyer UOB account becomes a way for those people who choose to pay out on debit cards or who are just starting out in their careers and are still not capable and eligible to avail of credit card in order to receive Krisflyer miles. The goal of the bank is that for the following years, they must be able to put up at least 200,000 Krisflyer UOB accounts.

We interrupt your regularly scheduled blog for a blatantly self-congratulatory post.
On October 4, 2010, this blog was born. That means that today, the blog is four years old. It's been my tradition since Year One to mark this occasion with a review of where Boards and Bees has gone in the last year.
Since my last annual review, I've published 99 posts, making it my second most prolific year. This includes 39 reviews, 28 game previews, 11 editions of The Eleven, 9 Kickstarter Blitzes, 4 posts about my journey into NaGaDeMon, 3 miscellaneous posts, 2 con previews, 2 Spiel des Jahres previews, and a post-holiday gift guide. Views have increased for me this year by 50%, which is always good to see.
The big thing that happened to the blog this year is that it almost imploded. In November, I kind of burned out. I had been working on game previews and catching up with all the Essen stuff that was coming out, and I found that I just didn't care anymore. A lot of the games I write about are ones I won't get to play, and I found that I was starting to write about stuff I didn't care anything about. So I ended up trashing the post I was working on and disappearing for a while. I used the time to rethink what I was doing, and ended up reworking my vision for the blog.
One thing I decided that I wanted to do was more reviews. So, I set a goal of 50 reviews for the year. I've been doing one a week, and have kept to the schedule pretty well – 39 down so far, 11 to go. Most of the reviews have just been of games in my collection, though I have done a few of games I've played and enjoyed. I also have done a couple that were sent to me (thanks again to Tom Jolly and Level 99 Games). As such, the number of previews I was doing in the form of Game Buzz drastically decreased – 28 over the last 12 months versus 71 from the previous 12. That's not to say I wasn't doing plenty of previews – I started doing a monthly Kickstarter Blitz to talk about games currently funding. This turned out to be a pretty big thing for the blog. Instead of focusing my energies into an in-depth rules explanation of one game I may or may not turn out to be interested in, I can just do a surface review of a bunch of games that people might want to look deeper into. This format has started to creep into my Game Buzz posts – recently, I've been trying to cover a couple of games at a time in my Game Buzz posts.
Within the reviews, I've pretty much used the same format – a brief overview followed by analysis of several relevant categories. I wanted to experiment with some other review styles, but I've only done two that were outside the box – my review of The Duke was done in a courtroom style, and I did a SHOWDOWN! comparison of Pizza Box Football and 1st & Goal. Part of this is because I'm having to do reviews too quickly for me to be terribly creative. One a week doesn't lend itself to new styles without some advance preparation. I've been trying to do another Meeple's Court review for Rampage, but my ideas aren't working, so that's on hold for a while. In 2015, I plan to scale back the reviews, maybe to two a month. This will let me think some more about what I'm doing.
The Eleven has been continuing pretty well. It continues to be a good series for me. I'm currently in the middle of a miniseries I'm unofficially calling "How to Make a Gamer" which will get me through the rest of the year. I do plan on having Season Three beginning in January – still have plenty of ideas for lists. And I plan to continue the Kickstarter Blitz for a while – it's turning out to be a lot of work, but it's providing me some data on how quickly projects are being released. Or not, as the case may be.
As for what else the future holds – I'm not sure. I'll probably take a couple of weeks off in December again to recharge. I've thought about trying to do some more session reports, and maybe some interviews. I also had an idea for a new series, but it will take some coordination with another person, so I don't know if it will happen. If you have any ideas for features you'd like to see, please let me know.
One thing I like to do is look back over the year that was and add some new posts to my Hall of Fame. In order to make the Hall of Fame, you have to be among the top 11 most viewed posts of the year that isn't already in the Hall. You can see the 33 previous additions to the Hall by clicking on the links for Year One, Year Two, and Year Three. But without further ado, here are the newest entries:
11. Eleven Dexterity Games (February 11, 2014)
The only appearance of The Eleven on this year's list. This gathered a bunch of dexterity games that I have played and like a lot into one list. Dexterity games continue to be an underappreciated genre, and I think the popularity of this list proves that it's a group of games that should be taken more seriously. Another note about this list – I accidentally included twelve games. I caught this just before it published, but rather than scrap something, I made Rampage a bonus twelfth item.
10. Steam Park (November 5, 2013)
This game was getting a lot of buzz from people thinking it should have been nominated for the Spiel des Jahres this year, or at least should have gotten a recommendation. Having not played it yet, I can't really speak to that. However, I did think that it looked interesting then, and still would like to try it sometime. Trying to shoehorn a steampunk theme into an amusement park game seems silly, but the game does seem really solid.
9. Tash-Kalar: Arena of Legends (October 25, 2013)
Of course, I am a complete Vlaada Chvátil fanboy, so I was very excited then. I am still very excited to try this game, I just haven't been able to yet. The one person I know who has a copy hasn't been to our game night in a long time. Now there's a second edition coming out with upgraded components, so maybe I still have a chance. This did seem to be a polarizing game – people either loved it or hated it – but I still think it looks pretty great.
8. Rampage (September 1, 2013)
This dexterity game (soon to be renamed Terror in Meeple City) is all about destruction. You flick monsters around and eat meeples. It's a blast. Despite the convoluted scoring and debates over licensing, the game has become pretty popular. I own my own copy now, and enjoy it a lot. It's a lot of work to set up, but a lot of fun to break down.
7. Coup (May 2, 2013)
Indie Boards & Cards' reprint of this deduction microgame was rethemed in their popular Resistance universe. It was very successful, even spawning some expansions. I've gotten to play this once, and thought it was decent enough. It plays quickly, so the elimination aspect isn't a big deal. It is pretty heavily dependent on luck, but then, so is Resistance.
6. SHOWDOWN! Ultimate Werewolf vs. The Resistance vs. Shadow Hunters (November 30, 2012)
The oldest item on this list. This was my third SHOWDOWN!, and the first one with three competitors. I stand by my pronouncement that Shadow Hunters is the best game of the three, but people wanting to compare The Resistance and Ultimate Werewolf is probably why it lands on this list.
5. Two Rooms and a Boom (July 31, 2013)
This social deduction game probably would have fit well into the SHOWDOWN listed above. I probably still would have given it to Shadow Hunters, but 2 Rooms would have beaten out The Resistance and Ultimate Werewolf, in my estimation. It's still very dependent on luck, but I think the sheer variety and ability to play with massive amounts of people (and no elimination) is a big draw. The Kickstarter campaign that ran last fall should be fulfilled by November.
4. Dead of Winter (February 7, 2014)
There hasn't been a game in a while that was more anticipated than Dead of Winter. It was originally supposed to come out last winter, but got delayed and was finally released in August. I've played it twice now, and it truly is the best zombie game I've ever played. Definitely worth all the hype. Expect a review soon.
3. Pandemic: In the Lab (August 22, 2013)
This second expansion for Pandemic made me upset since it was only released to be compatible with the new edition. It does look good, and I would play it if presented with the opportunity. I just wish they hadn't brushed off the first edition fans so easily.
2. Marvel Dice Masters: Avengers vs. X-Men (March 8, 2014)
The most recent item on this list. Quarriors was a success for WizKids, but I think a lot of people were skeptical of taking the system and transforming it into a collectible game. Those doubts were cast aside when the game sold out immediately, and WizKids had to order several more print runs to satisfy the demand. It's not exactly like Quarriors, and has some huge fans out there already. I haven't played it, but maybe someday.
1. Mascarade (September 9, 2013)
My most viewed post of the last year, and also my fifth most viewed post of all time. I think one reason it went over so big is that it was widely unavailable for a long time. It's a party game that offers a lot of unknowns, and people have been responding to it. I've played once, and enjoyed it. It's something I think my wife would really like.
It's nice to be able to review these stats every year and see how much the blog has grown. I'm looking forward to trying out some new stuff in the year ahead, and I hope you'll join me. Thanks for reading!

The Bay of Quinte Region is a wonderland of active adventure between December and March, with many affordable and close to home ways to ward off the winter blues. Inject some excitement into winter is by taking up a new sport – here are two new ones to try this year.
"To me, snowshoeing is about being able to get out there and enjoy the same trails in the winter that I love using in the summer, as well as finding new ones due to the lakes and marshes being frozen," says Yarker resident and snowshoe runner Derrick Spafford.
Gear Up
Modern snowshoes are lightweight and ready for adventure – nothing at like the heavy wooden rackets that may come to mind. Investing in a good pair is vital to enjoying the sport. "Hiking and running snowshoes are very different from each other," says Spafford. "Hiking snowshoes tend to be heavier and have a larger surface area for better floatation in deep snow. Running snowshoes are narrower, extremely lightweight and have flex/spring properties which allow for a more natural running stride," says Spafford, who also organizes the popular Dion Eastern Ontario Snowshoe Running Series. Running snowshoes can be rented for a very affordable $5 when you register for one of the series races.
Besides snowshoes, insulated hiking boots or trail running shoes, wool socks, windproof mittens, gaiters and windproof layers will keep you warm while you explore the Bay of Quinte.
Trails to Try
"The real beauty of snowshoeing is that you can set your own track. You literally can go anywhere!" enthuses Spafford. He suggests heading to Puzzle Lake Provincial Park – the rugged Canadian Shield and gorgeous lakes are highlights of this undeveloped park. Keep in mind the trails at Puzzle Lake are unmarked, so take your GPS. Snowshoers at Sheffield Conservation Area will be rewarded with stunning scenery along the 4 kilometer marked trail. Those up for a challenge should register for a snowshoe running race! I'll be at the Dion Red Barn Snowshoe Race in Napanee later this month – hope to see you there!
Warm Up
Waterfront Pub's gourmet grill cheese and soup combo with coffee or the pulled pork sandwich with a pint is how I recommend warming up after a few hours on the trails.
Fat Biking
You may have seen these peculiar looking bicycles since their wide monster truck-like tires and colourful frames draw attention! They're called fat bikes and riding one is the most fun you'll have on two wheels since you were a kid. Ruts, snow drifts, logs and ice are no match for the 4" tires of a fat bike, making it feel like you're riding a cloud…really!
Gear Up
If you've never ridden a fat bike before, I suggest renting from Belleville's Ideal Bike. Store staff will fit the bike to you, explain the basics of shifting and tire pressure and review the local trail system with you. Each bike is fully inspected before you head out on your ride and support from Ideal Bike is just a phone call away. If you want to explore trails outside of Belleville, ask Ideal about renting a rack for your car or delivery to wherever you plan to ride.
Dressing in breathable layers is key since you'll start out cold but warm up quickly! Then add insulated windproof mittens, a balaclava and winter boots to stay toasty all day long. "Focus on your fingers, toes and nose. They will get coldest," says Adam Tilley who heads up Ideal Bike's fat bike rental program. He warns against wearing bulky boots, which makes pedaling difficult. If your boots lace up, tuck in loose ends to keep them from getting stuck in the chain. Each fat bike comes equipped with a water bottle cage, so bring along an insulated bottle to stay hydrated. And don't forget your helmet!
Trails to Try
A short ride from Ideal Bike is Potter's Creek Conservation Area, which offers over 6 kilometers of quiet trails to familiarize yourself with how the bike handles. To truly get a sense of how much fun fat biking can be, head out of town to gnarlier trails, like Macaulay Mountain near Picton or start north of Belleville in Foxboro where you can hop on the Eastern Ontario Trails Alliance Hastings Heritage Trails.
Warm Up
Indulge yourself at Cafe Sans Souci, just down the block from Ideal Bike. The Montreal Smoked Meat is literally piled high on fresh rye bread, and you can't beat their homemade dill pickles. If you're in need of a caffeine fix, head over to L'Auberge de France down the street for a frothy latte to go.

Inspired by Dodie Clark's song When, here's a video I made featuring the same song.
I am creative by nature and when the moments come when all I can do is sit in bed and stare at my phone or stare at nothing things get difficult. This video is my creative response to being to depressed to actually be creative. How ironic!

Would you say that spending four hours shopping in TKMaxx was a productive or an unproductive way of spending a Saturday afternoon? I'm hoping the answer is productive, because that's how I spent the integral hours of my weekend!
As a thank you for taking part in their dress challenge, TKMaxx sent me a lovely note and gift card, and so obviously I went out to spend it: guilt-free shopping is my favourite kind! However what started as a browse with intent turned into a major shopping spree! I ended up buying: 3 dresses, a Moschino t shirt (which i'm totally in love with!)two cardigans, a Moschino cheap and chic silk scarf, a pair of crazy clog shoes, six pairs of Betsey Johnson socks (for my holiday), Betsey Johnson sunglasses, Mickey Mouse pajamas, underwear, House of Holland tights, some T shirts and socks for the boyfriend, a present for my dad (it's his birthday next month) and a very cute leather purse. And here are pictures of some of the pieces to proove it:
The Tshirt looks really simple but its so soft and it fits like a dream: I think i'm going to slouch it over a nude skirt. I also love the shoes: these will be my nod to both clogs and double denim (teamed with either jeans or my denim jacket) this summer. I was also really pleased about buying the two cardigans; cardigans were on my list of things I definitely needed, and now I have plenty!
I'm aware that this is a bit of a vapid self obsessed post, but I had such fun on my shopping spree that I just had to share! I haven't photographed the dresses because they look better on than laid out flat, but I will point them out in future daily wear posts!
Love, Tor xx

The Otowave 202-H option features a comprehensive range of test functions including user defined 226Hz and 1000Hz probe tone impedance measurements and a user programmable range of both ipsi and contra lateral reflex test measurements at 500Hz, 1kHz, 2kHz and 4kHz.
When using the Otowave 202 in 226Hz probe tone mode, the compliance peak, compliance peak pressure, gradient and ear canal volume can be measured within seconds.
When using the Otowave 202-H option in 1000Hz probe tone mode, users can easily select a preferred display by simply pressing the probe function key to switch between:
- Scalar mode: a traditional admittance tympanogram, as above (Y only compensation)
- Vector mode: a tympanogram displaying B-G compensation
Acoustic reflex measurements
User-defined ipsi and contra lateral reflex test measurements can be easily added to the test sequence to ensure a comprehensive test routine that is completed in the minimum amount of time.
This user programmable acoustic reflex function includes reflex frequency selection, levels and sensitivity. The large display area facilitates a graphical display of the reflex response and a pass/no response indication.
Recording results
Based upon user requirements, results can be:
- Saved within internal memory with a patient identifier
- Printed via an infra-red connection to the optional portable printer
- Transferred via USB to a PC for viewing and printing using the Amplivox Tympview application

Great Moments In Opera, Verdi's "O Mio Babbino Caro" From Gianni Schicchi
Published: 07th April 2010
Views: N/A
An article about the aria "O Mio Babbino caro" taken from Puccini's opera Gianni Schicchi.
Puccini's opera "Gianni Schicchi" which lasts one act starts out with the death of a man whose fortune attracts many. All of them wanting to inherit as much as possible and it is with sadness and hope that they go through the recently deceased's house; looking for the will that will clarify who will receive what and how much. Lauretta for her part only wants enough money so that she and her beloved may at last get married.
It is however once the will is found that all receive a shock when they are made aware that all has been left to a convent and nothing for them. Alarmed they do not know what to do while Laureta says good bye to all hope of being happy with the man of her adoration. It is nonetheless in this despair that the idea comes to mind of calling for Lauretta's father; Gianni Schichi. It being he who though unpopular with most is thought to be the only one who can find a solution to the problem and save them from receiving nothing from a will they feel should have been more generous with them.
Gianni Schicchi however once made aware of the situation refuses to help these people, whom he sees as opportunists and little else; this being what he declares in no unclear way with the words "Al propo di quella gente niente, niente" as he crosses his arms in anger. The translation of this in to English being "concerning those people, I will do nothing, nothing" yet it is as the music is dying out along with the hopes of all that a faint sound starts to rise; almost out of the ashes of tragedy that are all about. It is heard softly, almost in the background as a pleading voice cries out "O mio babbino caro". This meaning "oh, my dear father" along with the rest of the aria which Lauretta sings to her father as she begs him to help her and her beloved get the money they will need to get married yet in all there is so much love and true passion; as lauretta's suffering is tremendous. It being clear in the message she sends to her father about how if her love would prove to be in vain she would prefer to throw herself in the river than to go on.
"O Mio Babbino Caro" is a romantic aria yet it differs from most in being a plea in the name of love from a young lady, not to the one she wishes to be with but to her father; not to ignore her adoration for the one she feels she can not live without. These sentiments being accompanied by a music which has a feeling of longing which seems will never really be fulfilled yet it implores along with the cries of lauretta; who wishes more than anything that her father give her this which to her has become everything.
Naturally, it is after hearing his daughter's supplication that Gianni Schichi agrees to do what he can so the fortune which was promised to a convent will remain with those in the room and by virtue of which his daughter will be able to be taken to wife by the man who likewise adores her. As for "O Mio Babbino Caro", it has been used outside of the opera on many an occasion; with notable cases being the film "A Room With A View" and a female figure skater who won the gold medal at the 2006 winger Olympics. This perhaps due to the music which seems to be slowly releasing hope and passion in a way resembling a figure skater in the act of gliding across not only ice but clouds.
There have been many great divas to perform "O Mio Babbino Caro" through out the years yet I would say that my favorite soprano and love of my opera life, Angela Gheorghiu is superb; specially in taking the very high note that comes almost at the very begging. It being when Lauretta is telling her father how beautiful she finds the one she sings about. As a footnote to this aria I can add that in the dialect of Toscana, "babbo" means father with the word "babbino" being its affectionate version.
My name is Gianni Truvianni, I am an author who writes with the simple aim of sharing his ideas, thoughts and so much more of what I am with those who are interested in perhaps reading something new. I also am the author of the book entitled "New York's Opera Society".

This blog is my views on the world I live in and my views only. So in saying that, Don't take any of my views personal. But then again, if the shoe fits....
Tuesday, October 7, 2008
Welcome to the Island of Red
I have the ability to see through BullShit.
I have the ability to know when a person is full of shit, and when a person is being real.
Usually God keeps the Bull shit ass people away from me.
But occasionally one happens to slip through.
I start this post off like this to make a point. Most Americans don't have my special ability. I should be on that show Hero's. Or maybe I am a mutant. Who knows?
BullShit. My special sensors go off like crazy when ever I hear this 200 year old man talk. How can anyone not be able to see through this man's shit? How can you call yourself a "Maverick" when you have aligned yourself with the worst President in our Nations History? How can you say that you will put a stop to lobbyist control over Washington, when most of the people that are running your cam pain is(are)lobbyists?
How can you call yourself a man of the people when you don't know how many houses you own? Why did you suspend your campaign to go back to Washington to "help" your colleagues with the cough(bullshit) bail-out plan, only to get there and not say or do anything of substance? And then you are supposed to be the leader and all, but they still said f-you and the bill failed? To me and my special ability this man is just like Kryptonite. I just can't stand him. Hearing him just makes me feel weak. Sometimes I have to pray just to make sure his bullshit did not effect me in any way.
The Almost Beauty Queen...
Bullshit. Listening to this woman is just like being tortured. I mean the kind of torture where someone dips your jibby in honey and ties you butt booty naked ass naked from a tree in a field full of fire ants. If you have been paying attention the last couple of weeks, then you know what I am talking about.
Bullshit. Both parties treat us like we are 3 year old children. Neither side will answer a question directly. Both sides are responsible for this mess our country is in, yet both parties are pointing fingers to each other. Accountability is something that is not a part of either party.
People that constantly make excuses on why their particular party is always right.
Bullshit. I do not understand for the life of me how any man or woman can blindly follow one point of view. I believe God gave us a brain. A brain to think, to analyze, to decide, and to question. Then we should use our brain to decide what is best for us. We should not use our brain to listen to what someone else says is good for us.
Yes Folks, I think that if more people had my special ability the world be a much better place.
Sometimes it feels like I am on an island all by myself.

Great post. I was nodding in agreement the entire read. A big Obama supporter, but even I notice the bull ish when he really doesn't answer direct questions. I think he wants to, really wants to answer it, but knows that it will hurt the feelings of American people.
McCain, oh, he just doesn't give a ish. What in the world made him select Palin?

You got me when you said you should be on the show "Hero's".
Now that was aome funny shit right there. Man, people don't wanna hear the truth because its too hard to deal with.
Its alot easier for bullshit to reign supreme. Poeple feel comfort in being fed bullshit, because it gives them warm fuzzy feelings.

Bro, you are just on an island because of the divide and conquor policies of the past 8 years. Get off your fricken' island and join the rest of the like minded people out here that are the majority in this nation.

You're not alone. I'M ALONE with all those dickhead comment contributors on my blog. (No, it's not you or Dwane T, freemanpress or Folk. So by process of elimination, you should figure out whom I refer to)
John Donne said that "No man is an island, entire of itself". But John Donne lived back in the 1700s or 1800s. Enjoy yourself on that island. Let me head towards mine.

The massive failure of the McCain/Palin strategy of mudslinging and dirty tactics speaks to how many other Americans are stranded on that island with you.
I was just telling a friend today that McCain picked the wrong time to employ such tactics (like those successfully used against him in a past primary).
The push-polling and character attacks don't resonate with the average voter facing foreclosure on a home, dealing with salaries that don't keep pace with rising costs, or those of us mad as hell about the corporate bailouts that won't change a thing for us (but will benefit the million-dollar salaries of corrupt bank executives).
McCain is the wrong man who ran the wrong campaign during the wrong d*mn recession.

Robin Williams what can say. He was great. Gone too soon. His Humor and wit lit up the world. I love his work. I have always heard that the funniest people carry a deep dark sadness inside of them. It seems so true with the people I have met in my life. It is such a waste to lose someone with so much to offer. And with a HUGE heart. I hope he knows he is still touching so many hearts here on earth. Gone but never forgotten.
RIP Robin.
You will live forever in our hearts like "Peter Pan".

EDIT: My new contact information is firstname.lastname@example.com not the charter account. I'll be updating the reel as soon as possible.
Hello! First post on my FX blog here!
I'm going to be using this blog to look at video games, video game FX and post some critiques and how-tos and see what happens. I've seen a number of blogs cover high end specialty effects in Maya using its fluid systems, nParticles as well as Fume in Max. Video game FX have to work within a scene budget and can be a different beast, so here it is.
So why would I do this? I believe the more you work on you skills the better you get... duh right? So I thought if I put up a couple projects and tests and documented the step by steps of the process, I'd only get better and hopefully meet and help some people along the way. I'll also be looking at other games, their effects and try to figure out their tricks as well.
I'm currently working in the current version of the Unreal Engine using Cascade, Mats, Kismet, and matinee to get the job done. I do a lot of my flip book creation in Maya, and the first project I'm going to work up is a start to finish from Maya to Unreal. Its going to take some time, but it will be sweet.
I'm moving to New York in the coming weeks, so some of my posts will be a bit sporadic in the beginnnig.
In the meantime, here's my Reel for 2010. It features FX and I worked on for Raven software's Singularity. Comments and critiques are always welcome. Until next time!

Ikea Nasum Boxes - Ugh.
The baskets in this picture? Nasum baskets from Ikea.
They were amazing. Sturdy, deep, non-offensive. The "straw" sometimes came unraveled, but we really liked them. They held all of T's clothes, cloth diapers, wipes, toys, etc. When he pulled them out of the slot they were light - so it didn't hurt him like drawers would have.
At $15 a drawer, it was pricy, but so versatile, so when we moved T into the bigger bedroom and the records into the dining room (did we tell you we did that?), we knew we'd use our extra Expedits for the baby's clothes - so we'd have to buy more baskets.
Today, 6 months pregnant, in a rainstorm, I went to ikea to buy a bunch of the baskets - 10 to be exact. They filled the shopping cart.
Piled high in my shopping cart, I did the ikea shopping cart crawl back to the car in the pouring rain. You know the crawl - with the basket that wants to chase its tail. Then rolls away from you in the parking lot and won't stay at your car as you unload.
Drive back across the bay, bring all 10 baskets up two flights of stairs (three trips), put them all together - only to realize that they are now made of cheap crap that falls apart instantly.
The hinges were once metal. All 15 of our current ones are made of metal. Sturdy, screwed into place - awesome.
The current ones? Plastic "hinges" (really just a piece of plastic folded into a V) and nailed into place - so the bottoms don't fit snugly and the baskets start coming apart moments after you put them together.
I'm pissed.
Now I have to go BACK to ikea.
Not only that, but they don't make the metal hinges anymore.
So, I'll either have to get a different kind of basket, or hunt for metal hinged baskets in ikeas across the land. I don't want another kind of basket.
End rant about something stupid and insignificant.

Maybe look on craigslist or ebay.ReplyDelete
We actually went back to Ikea and dug through the bins and found the last 11 with metal hinges!ReplyDelete
It was SO worth the trip!

This speech was the turning point for me on President Obama. I went from someone who simply disagreed with him, to someone who genuinely dislikes him. This speech exposed the hyper-partisan and hyper-political nature that is the reality behind the facade of hope and change. The President was never serious about working with Republicans as he had said. If so, why would he invite the guy he has to sit across the negotiating table from, to attend his speech and proceed to insult him in front of the world? More importantly, the speech, with its long-winded and strident defense of the welfare state, showed he was never serious about dealing with deficits and debt. And with his re-election campaign kicking off, the President apparently believed that working with Republicans wouldn't help him politically as much as demonizing them. With an opportunity to be the uniter for which he was elected, the President showed his true colors by acting in a way that was the antithesis of everything he promised.
The first video is the President's entire 40-minute speech (his critique of Ryan's plan begins at 16:30). The second is Paul Ryan's response.

Calling someone a beast is a good thing (in case you didn't know). I first heard a person referred to as this a couple of years ago from some young people during Sunday School. They were talking about a football player; he was a beast that beasted in a beastly fashion. They were beasts at saying the word beast. Recently, I've gotten in on the act by calling David a beast for how he handled Goliath and by calling certain preachers that I respect beasts. "I'm glad Piper's back–he's a beast!" Subsequently, the usage of this word has plummeted among the young people at church. It's not cool to sound like the pastor.
Hearing the word beast can get annoying; being called a beast is pretty cool. Sort of. It happened to me yesterday while playing basketball with a group of men, most of whom share a similar shape as me–round and out of. I made a few tough shots and did something twice that I have hardly ever done in my life–I hit 2 game winning three-pointers.
Even though I enjoyed the encouragement of being called a beast, I could not enjoy it quite as much as others apparently do. There are three main factors why:
1. The X-Men Factor. Every time I hear someone referred to as beast, I think of the X-Men character of the same name. And he is ugly. Blue skin, wild hair/fur, yellow eyes, menacing teeth–ugly. Yes, I know that he combines strength, agility, and amazing intelligence. All of that, however, is cancelled out by the fact that Kelsey Grammar played him in X-Men 3. I liked Frasier as much as the next nerd, but I just can't picture him putting his hot tea down long enough to whoop up on some bad guys.
2. The Soreness Factor. Real beasts, after performing their beastly deeds, probably don't feel like their body is about to fall apart the next day. It's not so much that I am sore, it's that I can't quite stand up all the way straight. And I'm walking funny. I'm trying to make it look like a strut; so far, no one is convinced. Maybe wearing a fedora and using a cane would do the trick.
3. The Truth Factor. There should be some rules for who gets to be called a beast. Athletes that perform at the highest levels (Kobe Bryant, Peyton Manning, etc.) could be called beasts. Artists and writers with works that touch and inspire large numbers of people could be called beasts. The people on reality shows that make extravagant cakes that cost more than my truck could be called beasts. Overweight guys who are capable of hitting an occasional mid-range jumper while being guarded by another overweight guy during a game of half-court basketball should probably not be called a beasts. Sorry overweight semi-sharp shooters–we don't make the cut.
There was a time when I was concerned about what people called me. Then I did something important–I quit defining myself by the silly and unreasonable standard of what others thought of me. The truth is that I am a child of God, someone He loves relentlessly. Being loved by God is far better than being a beast. It is the best thing that I ever could be.
I gave no one a real reason to call me a beast yesterday and I have given God no real reason to love me like he does. He just does. And I am thankful.
(What do you about people beast called beasts? What is the best thing you have ever been called? Share away!)

Body image insecurities are rampant in today's yoga culture. Detoxes, hot sweaty classes, and cosmetic fixes are becoming an industry norm. While yoga can be a powerful tool for building body confidence and self-esteem, the culture surrounding yoga often masks and even worsens food and body image issues.
Now more than ever we need yoga teachers who can inspire students to remember their worth, beauty, and greatness, through the weaving of empowering yoga philosophy! In this timely and impactful teacher training, you'll learn how to recognize and serve students with body image challenges, eating disorders, and self-loathing.
This dynamic and intimate 12-hour training will give you the tools to stand out as a teacher who can effectively address body image challenges and eating disorders with empathy, skill, and cutting-edge knowledge. Amy will share her time-tested methods for bringing inspiration and empowerment into your classes via specific teachings and yoga philosophy. Chelsea will offer her expertise in the field of working with those recovering from body image and disordered eating challenges.
Advanced teacher training can be cumbersome. We want to engage you with useable, meaningful, actionable education now. This week is one of many modular trainings in the 90 Monkeys Advanced Teacher Training Curriculum available in Boulder, CO and across the globe.
