Author Interview with Ella Jade
Whipped Cream is pleased to welcome Ella Jade, who has a brand new release that just came out yesterday. I asked her to tell us a little bit about it.
Successful businessman Alec Carter realizes his life is less than fulfilled when he meets beautiful Princeton University senior Clara Whittaker at a local coffee shop. Alec experiments in the BDSM lifestyle but doesn't consider himself hardcore until he crosses paths with the obviously submissive Clara. The more time Alec spends with young Clara, the more his dominant tendencies push to the surface. She could be what has been missing.
After her grandmother's death, Clara ends up a guest in Alec's home until she can finish school. She quickly learns she's a natural submissive and decides she wants to explore this new side of herself with the man of house. Alec shows her a life she never knew existed as they enter into a world of role playing, fantasy, and desire. Alec may be the Master, but Clara holds the key to his heart.
As the semester comes to an end, so does their arrangement. If Alec doesn't admit his true feelings for Clara, she could walk out of his life forever. But, Alec isn't sure which she craves more . . . his dominance . . . or his love.
She also has some exciting news to share. Her last release Be My Everything is an Amazon best-seller, holding in the Top 100 List for Erotica for the last three weeks.
Ella told me she'd always been a writer—even as a child, she had a notebook and pen in hand all the time and now she's an adult, her laptop is never far away.
"I had all these ideas but I didn't know what to do with them," she explained. "About two years ago, I stumbled onto a fan fiction website and read all of these really great stories. It wasn't long before I decided to try it. I found much success and picked up a pretty big following spinning alternate tales of a popular vampire series. That experience gave me the experience to begin submitting my original stories to publishers. And, here I am, sharing it with all of you."
She's always been a love story and HEA writer and with her experience in the fan-fic world also came her experience in erotica.
"The very first time I tried it, the response was insane and that fueled my fire. I had no idea I was any good at it until people starting contacting me and telling me how hot my stories were and how happy their husbands were they were reading my stuff. I'm credited for spicing up a few marriages," she said. "It wasn't something I set out to do, but with each sex scene I wrote, I learned a little more about how to go about it. Those scenes are still not my favorite things to write and I usually save them for when I'm finished with the rest of the chapter. I'll go back in and insert (no pun intended) the sex. When I read back the final product I can see how the heat enhances the story. It's still a learning process for me, but I get a little better each time I write one."
One important thing for Ella, there needs to be a strong emotional connection between the characters—she wants to show why they are drawn to one another.
"I don't always want it to be about the physical attraction," she told me. "It's important for them to have chemistry, sexual tension and have the potential to fall in love and live happily ever after. For me it isn't about one sex scene after the other. I'm big with realistic dialogue and creating characters that will stay with the reader long after they're finished the story."
She feels that a lot of people who don't read erotica quickly dismiss it as porn.
"There are lots of stories out there that showcase sex for the sake of sex," she agreed, "but most well written stories have a plot and good characters. Yes, there is sex and lots of it, but if it moves the plot I don't necessarily classify it as porn."
"How do you do your research for your books?" I wondered.
"I read a lot. I've also been known to Google everything! I'm drawn to sexy, strong, well educated men when I read, so I research many different professions and Ivy League Schools. Several of my stories are set in towns that have good universities.
"My friends think all the sex scenes in my books are from activities that are actually going on in my bedroom. Trust me, I don't that have that much time! Reading many genres of erotic fiction helps get my creative juices flowing.
"The dialogue is what moves my plot in most cases, so there isn't much research I can do with that. I just run the scenes in my head and read back the conversations to make sure they sound realistic."
"What does your family think of your writing?" I asked.
"Most of my family can't believe this is what I write," she said with a laugh. "They don't expect it from me. A few of them have read my YA Romance Jocelyn's Choice and were surprised at how detailed the sex scenes were. I told them if they thought that was steamy then they probably should skip the next few which include BDSM and M/M. I can appreciate erotic fiction isn't for everyone, so I don't push my work on them. There are plenty of readers out there who want to read what authors like me have to say. To them I say, Thank You!"
On a more personal note, I asked her, "If you had to pierce a body part, what would you pierce and why?" I was also curious what she found sexy about body piercing.
"I'm more into tattoos than body piercings, but if I had to pierce something it would probably be my bellybutton. I've always thought that was sexy, but never really felt I had a toned enough stomach for it. There's always next summer!
"Now on a guy, I like when he has an eyebrow piercing and if he's really hot, I like to see a nipple ring. I've read a few erotic books where the lucky heroine gets to bite the hero's nipple ring. Yum!"
Ella's favorite food is anything Mexican, but especially cheese and onion enchiladas. She's not big on fish, however. She'll eat shrimp or crab meat, but that's about it as far as seafood goes. Her eleven-year-old son, on the other hand, loves fish of all kinds and orders it every time they go out.
"I don't know where he gets it!" she said.
She's also a Coke girl through and through, and she's been known to refuse to eat at certain restaurants because they don't serve the 'real thing.'
Finally, I asked her, "If someone were to play you in a movie, what actor would it be and why?"
"I'm thinking Catherine Zeta Jones. She's beautiful, sophisticated and a great actress. Plus, I'd love for her to play me and speak with her really cool British accent. Yeah, I want a British accent!"

Our family (Caucasian) was at the breakfast table. My son, around 6 years old, said he did not want to eat anything. He said if he got hungry, he would eat breakfast at school. The local, public school they attended served free breakfast to the low income children.
My daughter, around 7 year old said innocently "You cannot eat breakfast at school. Your skin is not black."
She was commenting on what she had observed.
Thanks to Ruth, an early childhood educator in Amherst, MA, for sharing this story.

CHICAGO, Nov. 17, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The American College of Prosthodontists (ACP) recently honored Nancy Deal Chandler, RHIA, CAE, CFRE, Executive Director of the ACP and the ACP Education Foundation (ACPEF), with the "Nancy Deal Chandler Leadership Award" for the commitment, perseverance and leadership she has shown throughout the last 10 years advancing the dental specialty of prosthodontics and the ACP.
The ACP presented the inaugural "Nancy Deal Chandler Leadership Award" to Ms. Chandler on Oct. 24 during the ACP's 45th Annual Session in Orlando. The now Immediate Past President, Frank J. Tuminelli, DMD, FACP, (pictured), surprised Ms. Chandler by presenting the award to her before a crowd of 275 oral health professionals and leaders including her husband, Mr. Paul Pomplun, during the Annual Awards and President's Dinner.
"Deal's wisdom, knowledge and guidance have been instrumental in making the ACP prosper and grow at a fantastic rate and her continued guidance will make for a promising future. We simply would not be in such a position without her phenomenal leadership," said ACP President Carl F. Driscoll, DMD, FACP.
The ACP Executive Committee will select future "Nancy Deal Chandler Leadership Award" honorees who have made significant contributions to the specialty of prosthodontics and substantively advanced the mission of the ACP and/or ACPEF through achievement-oriented leadership and dedicated service. The award is limited to those who do not possess a DMD, DDS, or MD degree.
"Ms. Chandler's professionalism has been apparent since her first day as Executive Director, and I firmly believe that the ACP's success over the last decade can be attributed to her leadership," said ACP President-Elect Susan E. Brackett, DDS, MS, FACP.
The ACP has developed into a strong and resilient organization through the work of many dedicated volunteers and staff during Ms. Chandler's tenure as Executive Director. The ACP is financially healthy; ACP membership continues to grow in numbers and diversity; the Annual Session attendance is up year over year; and new initiatives such as the first digital dentistry symposium continue to roll out. Two major milestones achieved this year are the Commission on Dental Accreditation's (CODA's) approval of the Accreditation Standards for Advanced Education Programs in Prosthodontics, which include surgical implant placement at a competency level, and a $1.25 million grant from Henry Schein to the ACPEF for the development of a digital dentistry dental school curriculum. "All of this and more has been accomplished under the watchful and visionary eyes of Ms. Chandler as she works directly with the ACP Executive Committee and the ACP Board of Directors," Dr. Tuminelli said. "The future of the specialty has never been brighter."
"Ms. Chandler has been an exceptional leader and demonstrates professionalism regardless of the challenges encountered. Ultimately, she truly believes in who we are in the ACP, and in our commitment as Prosthodontists in providing care for our patients," said Lily T. Garcia, DDS, MS, FACP.
Ms. Chandler joined the ACP in December 2005 after serving as the Director of the Division of Medical Journals and Professional Periodicals at the American Academy of Pediatrics. She earned a bachelor's degree from the College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, VA, studied as an undergraduate at the University of St. Andrews, Scotland, and received a master's degree from the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA. She earned a postgraduate degree in Medical Record Administration from Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta. Ms. Chandler is a registered health information administrator (RHIA), a certified association executive (CAE) and a certified fundraising executive (CFRE).
"Deal Chandler embodies the ideal attributes of an effective Executive Director. Over the past decade, she has contributed tirelessly to the development and implementation of our strategic plans and cheered for every one of our lofty and important ambitions. Because of her effective management of the central office and strong commitment to our volunteer leadership, the specialty of Prosthodontics has built a remarkable home, namely the American College of Prosthodontists," said Lyndon F. Cooper, DDS, PhD, FACP.
"I am so honored to receive this new ACP legacy award. I share it with the many wonderful and amazing ACP leaders and staff with whom I have worked, and with my loving parents, Nancy Outland Chandler and the late Webster Monroe Chandler Jr, for showing me the way," said Ms. Chandler.

Rammstein: Dem Regen (??)
So this has appeared from out of nowhere, there is no information about the album but it seems to be a bootleg containing new/unreleased songs as well as some remixes. With the previously released songs like the still epic Mein Hertz Brennt and Mein Land (featured on their compilation album). As far as the new stuff goes we start off with Schatten Grim which does sound a lot like Sonne, Exzenter has the metallic/electro stomp Rammstein excel at with marching drums, big riffs and Till's huge vocal delivery, the title track is very electronic and harks back to the early albums, in fact the newer tracks all have that classic Rammstein sound, the anthemic Fried Eis is pounding techno metal with Till sparring with a female singer and Blunt Vaults is evil with Adios having an almost power metal riff. With Rammstein there is also an element of fun in all Rammstein songs as they give us a cover of Das Model by Germany's other premier band Kraftwerk, which they rock up in true Stein style. So with the 'normal' songs covered we are taken into the remixes part of the record first is a slower sparse electro 'funeral version' of Mein Land then we get two 'live' tracks which I'm assuming are demos as the production on them is not great but both songs are pretty cool, then there is the funky metal/trance version of Stripped as well as the remix of Mein Hertz Brennt which makes it even more unsettling. So without any information this is about all I can say about Dem Regen if this album is looking forward to the new full length album then I can say the new songs sound great, if it is an album of unreleased stuff then this stuff is very strong and if it's a bit of both it serves as a tasty little stopgap for fans. 7/10
Lordi: Scare Force One (AFM)
Finn's Lordi have always had a lot to live up too; their Monster Show album was a strong album full of schlock horror hard rock songs harking back to Twisted Sister, Kiss and even Alice Cooper, their profile was raised with their Eurovision win and their Arockolypse album which in my opinion is their finest hour. However since then they have really struggled to reach the heights of these to albums, Deadache was a bit too serious, Babez For Breakfast was far too 80's echoing the sleaze and AOR scene a bit too much for my liking putting more focus on keys than on riffs on the other hand their previous album To Beast Or Not To Beast was a little more rocking but still had a bit too much keyboard, thank fully though the very well named Scare Force One brings back the riffs in droves, this for me is a very good thing as guitarist Amen has always been very good, no he isn't flashy but he knows his riffs. The title track kicks things off with some very cool riffs, Mana's speedy drums and the occasional organ and synth flare from Hell, this has always been what Lordi have been about and it sounds like they are retuning to it, How To Slice A Whore too has some great guitars, the horror theme and shows off Mr Lordi's unique vocals brilliantly, Hell Sent In The Clowns is the only truly scary song for me but I digress. As the album progresses the riffs continue with Monster Is My Name Nailed By The Hammer Of Frankenstein and Sir, Mr Presideath, Sir. Still despite the riffs coming back in force, Lordi still rely a little heavily on the keys and they do seem to treading the same old ground lyrically. Lordi have always been more of a visual live act and this album gives them a few good tracks to add to their live set, but still bands have to keep their act fresh and give their fans new music. Scare Force One is a good album but it's nothing they haven't done before, still it will appeal to fans. 7/10
Sorrow's Path: Doom Philosophy (Iron Shield)
Sorrow's Path hail from the shores of Greece and they play a strange mix of melodic and crushing doom metal. An intro and then straight into Tragedy (no a Bee Gee's cover thankfully) but it sets the pace for the rest of the album, big slabs of doom metal riffage from the guitars of Kostas Salomidis and Giannis Tziligkakis bolstered by sledgehammer drums from Fotis Mountouris and rumbling bass from Stavros Giannakos. The band are based in doom metal but they are not the slow lumbering doom you associate with a lot of bands in this genre, yes they do have the occasional slow, brain frying doom passage but much of album is made up of faster, distortion heavy guitar passages and melodic solos giving many of the songs like A Dance With The Dead having a more classic metal feel so think Maiden meets Candlemass and you won't be far off. Much of the lyrical content is drawn from the occult as you would imagine but it is delivered by the strong European vocals of Angelos Ioannidis who has a unique voice that suits the music well, his mid range is slightly Halford-esque and he can also add a few growls too. Yes this is more than just doom, there is a lot of it present see the final few tracks of Epoasis, Clouds Inside Of Me and Darkness these are the doomiest tracks on the album with rumbling riffs galore and even some synths and organ on Darkness, which is actually a little off putting in places. The band do tend to swing more towards the classic metal style on most of the tracks with lots of galloping rhythms and melodic solos.

The combination of flax rope, soft copper, and mirror glass brought together for an inspiring piece of contemporary design.
Here the use of copper and rope to form the outer border of a mirror combine to give an organic, yet industrial feel.
There is a real 'human touch' to each mirror, the copper clasps are cut, folded, and rolled by hand. The rope used is a lovely Flax rope, soft and subtle, a highly sustainable material. They are hung from an Oak peg(supplied) which is highlighted with a disc of copper.
The CR Mirrors are a unique product, designed and made here in the UK.

Letter to the Editor
The liberal news media is making a big deal out of Mitt Romney saying his wife has two Cadillacs, like she's so rich or something. Perhaps Mitts wife is just like the rest of us. Maybe she just has one Cadillac for parts so she can keep the other Cadillac running? Bet you won't see that possibility in the liberal news!

Traditional Christmas Wreath
The provision of locally made, truly high quality balsam fir wreaths.
My Review: Just in time for the holidays, I received the most beautiful Christmas wreath from Wreaths of Maine for review. I have always wanted a "real" wreath on my front door, but every time I see one, they are never full enough or in good shape. When my wreath arrived from Wreaths of Maine, they had it packaged in a nice box with tissue paper, and the ribbon was placed nicely in the middle of the wreath so it would not wrinkle. As I got a full look at the wreath, my jaw hung open. It was absolutely gorgeous! This wreath was so full, and smelled just like "Christmas" to me. I just love the smell of Balsam fir, it always puts me in the holiday mood...Read More

The Duchess of Cambridge's diet guru faces the axe for suggesting thin schoolkids should get higher marks.
Dr Pierre Dukan could be struck off in France after his "dangerous" comments caused outrage.
The celebrity nutritionist is accused of breaching medical ethics.
The row erupted after he said students should be able to opt for an extra exam subject called "ideal weight", which they could pass simply by being thin enough.
They would then earn extra marks in their Baccalaureate, the French equivalent of A-levels, which they take at 17.
But the French College of Physicians has lodged a complaint against Dr Dukan for "remarks which could harm teenagers already struggling with obesity or anorexia".
The medic's high-protein diet has a host of celebrity followers, including Kate, her sister Pippa Middelton, Jennifer Lopez, supermodel Gisele Bundchen and Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins.
But critics have branded it a "health hazard" due to its low veg and carbohydrate intake – and say his multi-million pound profits are "not compatible" with the code of medical practice.
Dr Dukan has defended his ideas, saying: "There's nothing unhealthy about educating and motivating youngsters on nutrition."

Smile Herb Shop was founded in the early 1970's by a woman affectionately known as "Sweet Cicely". She was a bit of a wild woman and if you walk down the stairs in the building next door to the present Smile, you might find roots hanging from the ceiling, skulls tucked in among the herb jars, skins on the walls and a multitude of other natural wonders in her small two room shop. She shared her love of plants and the earth with all. A few of her early customers still shop at Smile today.
In the spring of 1975, when current owner Tom Wolfe happened to walk in, Cicely was itching to get back to the woods and out of doors. She and Tom struck up a friendship and eventually came to an agreement. Tom was soon left to run Smile for the summer. It was an exciting summer; he discovered a deep appreciation and love for the healing herbs. He was amazed to be able to cure a chronic cough by drinking yarrow tea. Duly impressed, he wanted to learn more. Tom's soon-to-be wife Linda was running the café down the street at the time and their relationship grew. By the fall of 1975, they decided to run Smile together.
When fall came and "Sweet Cicely" returned, Smile had flourished and she reached the conclusion that her first love was the out of doors. She offered to sell Smile to Tom for the sum of $1000 and the assumption of all debts. Alas Tom had no money at all. She said "Pay me later!" (Ironically, when he tried to pay her at a later date, she wouldn't even take the money!)
Over the years several hundred different people have contributed their energy to help Smile become a leader in its field. Additional components have been added along the way. Many customers wanted to learn more about alternative health, so classes were begun that brought in different teachers on many subjects. In 1995, Leroy Wilton joined us to provide a garden business so people could experience firsthand the wonderful plants they had been using in dried form.
In 1995, the work of figuring out just what it was that energized the community of Smile was begun. Visioning sessions were held with a lot of good thoughts, hopes and dreams. customers in a world that seems to be moving faster and faster every day.
In the 1990's and early 2000's, the whole world of herbalism and alternative healing was changing. Smile has had to change as well, creating a website, joining social media sites, and starting a store-and-garden blog (we're still working on that!). While we've joined the digital age, Smile continues to provide the one-on-one attention and focus on education and empowerment of staff and What will be the story of Smile in upcoming years? It will be up to everyone in the community to help answer that question. There is a great need for a more responsive, holistic and integrated approach to healthcare and Smile hopes to be able to effectively respond to those needs with the help of the many dedicated individuals who have gifts to give and work to do at Smile.

Beneath an Ocean of Air
Mary Bellamy's music is focused on a search for new sound structures. It is essentially an exploration of sound quality, which is shaped by a desire to extend instrumental sound resources. Many of her works are composed through close consultation with the performer and often bring the player-instrument relationship to the fore through their musical content. This colloquium will be a discussion of three solo works written between 2010-2012 and a new work for piano quintet written in 2016-17 examining how the musical language in each piece explores specific qualities of the instruments.

Democracy and Ecological Transition in Belgian Folk Bals
At a time when democracy is the subject of intense discussions throughout Europe, the project of transition has emerged as one possible way of answering the urgency of social inequalities and ecological disasters. While this movement has been enhanced by numerous academic works, little attention has been paid to musical activities that partake in the same project. We argue that such a connection between transition and music is exemplified by the 'European folk dancing' movement. The present paper focuses on 'folk bals', as they are practiced in the regions of Wallonia and Brussels (Belgium). Historically rooted in the 1970s folk revival, folk bals consist of parties where participants engage in neo-traditional dances more or less inspired by the pre-WWI peasant celebrations. The Belgian musicians and dancers have developed a common repertoire made of both local and nonlocal, traditional and modern practices. The project of ecological transition was theorised by authors such as Rob Hopkins, Dominique Bourg, and Dominique Méda and aims at: (1) fostering equity in the distribution of wealth, (2) increasing well-being and social cohesion, and (3) adapting the economy to the ecological limits of the ecosystems. Through the structure of the dances, the roles attributed to the audience and musicians, the material aspects of the events' organisation, the public they gather and their relation to the musical industry, folk bals transgress a series of social norms and boundaries, thus opening 6 the participants to other forms of sociality that resonate with the project of social and ecological transition. The account presented in this talk is based on semi-directive interviews with dancers and musicians and on a personal commitment of the authors in the organisation and animation of folk bals in Wallonia (Belgium).

Imagining New Musical Democracies – For Audiencing, Aesthetic Judgement and Curation
In his paper 'What can democracy mean for music?', Robert Adlington summarises thus the composer Elliott Carter's conception of the democratic nature of his music: 'the idea of democracy that prevails in Carter's ruggedly egalitarian musical textures, in which (as Carter says) "each member of a society maintains his or her own identity", is not unconditionally extended to his listeners, who are expected to receive instruction in a particular mode of attentiveness prior to participation as democratic citizens'. Carter's conviction that music's democratic potential can best be modelled via the analogical potential of musical materials points to more general observations. If democracy has been 'found' in music, it has invariably be in one of two ways: as a quality of musical textures, which are treated as social allegories, as when Carter writes of his 4th String Quartet as 'mirroring the democratic attitude'; or in attempts to reconfigure the social relations of performing ensembles, as when theorists of jazz and improvisation take the musical-and-social interactions in 2 their creative practices, the negotiation of individuality and collectivity, to exemplify democracy. It is the latter paradigm that has perhaps become ascendant in recent decades, in that a range of ensemble musics – improvised, experimental, progressive, networked – have been understood to experiment with the musical division of labour (composer-performer, performer-performer, conductor-performers), fashioning new modes of musical interaction that negate former hierarchies in favour of democratic values of equality, liberty and even deliberation. Both these directions have been productive, and in my previous work I too have attended to democracy in the guise of musicians' attempts to politicize and reimagine the social relations of musical performance and practice.

Roles for scores for electronic music
Electronic music over the past century has developed at a rate that far outpaces our ability to develop suitable notation systems for it. At least since the early 1950s, composers have tried to find ways of organizing electronic sounds using marks on paper, and since the 1970s researchers have been trying to design a flexible way to represent electronic scores graphically using a computer. (The Pure Data software system that I currently develop started out as one such attempt). In this talk, I'll try to show why the problem has proved so difficult. One central reason is that any such score system must simultaneously serve two purposes: to show the musical structure of a piece in a way that a composer can use to organize musical ideas, and also as a data structure that can be transformed by the computer into musical sound, possibly incorporating live, real-time inputs from musicians. These considerations often come into tension with each other, and with limitations imposed by the physical interface that a computer presents to a user, and by the inability of an image to accurately represent a sound. I'll assess the current situation and make some suggestions for future work in this area.
Designing electronic music instruments
Of the many roles that computer and electronic technology can play in music making (production tool, composer's assistant, improvising partner, and so on), the one that I think is giving rise to the most interesting new music today is that of the musical instrument. This could encompass both the use of electronics to enhance the sonic or other possiblities afforded by an existing instrument or developing a new musical interface (and starting from scratch learning to play the thing). Its instrumental behavior could take the form of directly mapping performance gestures into parameters of sound generation or, alternatively, affect the fate of an existing sound stream. Using two recent instrument designs of my own as examples, in this talk I'll try to shed light on where I see new possibilities to explore and what design principles I've arrived at in my own attempts.

Gestural modelling and compositional constraints: the articulation of accident as creative method
This presentation discusses my approach to topographical mapping, boundary spaces, and physical modeling in works employing a newly developed, unified multi-parametric notation system. In particular, it examines the ways in which limited collections of physical action types can "push against" constructed, dynamic, multi-planar bounding windows. The friction between these two forces is at the heart of the sonic and physical gestural material of my recent work and encourages unusual, unexpected, and often unpredictable materials to emerge. Works discussed include And the scream, Bacon's scream, is the operation through which the entire body escapes through the mouth (2005-2009), Second String Quartet (2010), and the first public presentation of the complete version of the extractable work for multi-channel electronics from The wreck of former boundaries, a work in progress for two trumpets, ensemble, and electronics, to be premiered in late 2016.

A residency to collaboratively develop creative sound processing tools for generating texturally and spatially rich, immersive materials for 3D sound environments.
A large body of work in the area of 3D sound exists concentrating on possibilities of spatial trajectories and accurate localisation. This residency will focus on a different approach, in which multiple components strands, derived from recorded source materials are spatialised to make a complex sonic environment, prioritising spatial diffuseness and complexity over accurate localisation. The residency will draw on technical expertise at NOTAM, as well as my programming skills, but focus on the creative and aesthetic potential of such approaches, with a set of short study examples/pieces forming a focus for addressing artistic questions and effectively supporting future larger compositional work.

Analysis and observations of pre-learnt and idiosyncratic elements in improvisation: a reflective study in jazz performance
This paper examines influences, processes and idiosyncrasies in musical improvisation in a jazz context, identified through analysis and observation of selected, recorded performances by the author. It is a practice-based research project with two objectives, the first to uncover degrees to which pre-learnt skills and idiosyncratic creations occur and interact in music-making, and the second to contribute to the body of knowledge in spontaneous improvised music research: an area of the art which at this time is beginning to invite intense enquiry.

This paper proposes the notion of Nodalism as a means describing contemporary culture and of understanding my own creative practice in electronic music composition. It draws on theories and ideas from Boden, Lacan, Deleuze, Guatarri, and Gochenour et al to demonstrate how networks of ideas or connectionist neural models of cognitive behaviour can be used to contextualize, understand and become a creative tool for the creation of contemporary electronic music.

Hi, I've seen cgiirc[1] in a bad state for some time now, I tried to contact the maintainer (Mario Holbe) more than a month ago, offering my help and my work[2]. No answer so far. This is a sponsored uploaded package that only had 1 upload, and had a DSA[3] issued which is still not fixed outside of sarge. Several upstream versions have passed unnoticed. It has been removed from testing and it would be a shame to ship without it, since it's just a maintenance problem. I currently use[4] and maintain[5] this package and think that if for whatever reason the actual maintainer can't keep it in good shape my work could very well be useful for many other debian users. Therefore my intention to hijack this package. I currently have a developer willing to sponsor my work on this package, we'll be uploading tonight after the daily dak run if there is no further news on/from Mario.

white space wednesday
I'm a big fan of simplicity. while I appreciate complex detail and subject matter, I'm more drawn to the simple, clean, and clear focused things. like a white blouse, or tiny doodles on a big sheet of paper, or classic monograms on white sheets.
white space is the negative space between elements in a composition. in art and photography, white space is often used to create a feeling of balance and interestingness. white space shouldn't be considered as simply blank space, but rather an important element to achieving the overall feeling of a photo. simply stated, it's a balance between the positive and negative space.
last week, I started a set on my flickr stream called white space wednesday. now, I'd like you to join me in my challenge to find beauty in white space, so I've started a flickr group, dedicated to utilizing white space in a photo. creatively and literally. let the subject share the spotlight with the negative space.
so here are the rules:
• make the negative space just as interesting as the main part of your photos.
• the white space doesn't always have to be white. I just find it prettier that way.
• you can post 5 photos a week.
• remember simplicity can be soothing.
• the pictures don't always have to be taken on or uploaded on wednesday, just remember to add the tag, "white space wednesday" to your pictures.
• and… have fun with negative space!

Gary Patton, Land Use Report, KUSP
Friday, January 28, 2011 – Santa Cruz County LAFCO Meeting Next Week
Public participation in land use policy decision-making can have a dramatic impact on our future. City governments and County governments play the leading role, but let's not forget how important the decisions of water and transportation agencies can be, too. If you are at all willing to get involved in land use policy making, you have many opportunities to do so, right at the local level. If you want to enroll in the "graduate program" of public policy involvement, then paying attention to state and federal agencies is also appropriate.
There is another important governmental agency, rooted in the local community, but more accurately seen as a state level policy body, that has a major role to play in land use decision making. That is LAFCO, the Local Agency Formation Commission. Next week, I hope you'll consider getting personally familiar with LAFCO by attending the Santa Cruz County LAFCO meeting scheduled for 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, February 2nd. The meeting will be held on the Fifth Floor of the Santa Cruz County Government Center.
Next Wednesday, I expect to be at the LAFCO meeting myself, on behalf of the Community Water Coalition, which my law firm represents. Water policy issues are scheduled to be on the agenda, and so is the process for considering the extension of water service to UCSC, to facilitate University expansion into the UCSC "North Campus" area.
For KUSP, this is Gary Patton.

Madeline Usher is doomed.
She has spent her life fighting fate, and she thought she was succeeding. Until she woke up in a coffin.
Ushers die young. Ushers are cursed. Ushers can never leave their house, a house that haunts and is haunted, a house that almost seems to have a mind of its own. Madeline's life—revealed through short bursts of memory—has hinged around her desperate plan to escape, to save herself and her brother. Her only chance lies in destroying the house.
In the end, can Madeline keep her own sanity and bring the house down? The Fall is a literary psychological thriller, reimagining Edgar Allan Poe's classic The Fall of the House of Usher.
After finishing this book at around 2am last night, I spent the next hour contemplating on whether I should get out of bed and walk across the hallway to go to the bathroom. Why did I spend an hour? Because this book left me totally freaked out about my own house. Yep, that's right. This book is scared the crap out of me. And no jokes, I nearly pissed my pajama pants because I didn't have the guts to get out of my bed and go to the bathroom. WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME, BOOK?
I did end up going to the bathroom in the end, but it was a terrifying experience. *shudders*
I am not a horror-reading type of person. However, I happen to be a stupid-and-curious type of person so I ended up picking up The Fall anyway. I don't read a lot of horrors and I scare easily, so here's just a warning not to get your hopes to high because it just not be that creepy for you. But for me? Hell yeah. What a ride. The book follows a young woman, Madeline Usher, who has spent her entire life living in this ancient house. The house is a curse, you can never leave the house, but you are never really living in it. The house is cunning and tormenting, and everything must go it's way. This was a truly strange read, and watching the characters go mad and insane just leaves you feeling a little insane as well.
The way this story was told was unique. The story starts off with Madeline in a coffin. She soon realises she's been buried alive under the house. This left me on the edge of my seat and I simply had to know why she was there and what events led up to that moment. Why I call the narrative unique is because after that, we start jumping through Madeline's years. We have a snippet of her life when she was nine, then we go to when she was twelve, next minute we are looking at her at the age of sixteen and so on. We don't actually get to go back to the coffin scene until the end–it's basically a hook and return structure.
The hook and return structure works here for me because I honestly think that I would have DNFed this if I hadn't read that first chapter. Despite the short chapters that each only last a few pages long, the story was incredibly slow paced, and after a while, boring. The mystery never really moves. It just sits there, taking little shuffles forward every now and again. Many of my blogger friends say that the story line got repetitive–I definitely agree. It just began to loose my attention after a while and only dragged the plot line more.
Bethany Griffin captured the atmosphere perfectly here. I felt all the chills and the suspense was great. I haven't read Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher but I can definitely say that Griffin did a fantastic job at building a story around that book.
A paranormal horror that I definitely think is worth taking a look at, The Fall left me chilled to the bone with it's intriguing story line and well created atmosphere. I was bored at times and felt the pacing could have some work, but it was still enjoyable.

About Me
I can't remember a time that I wasn't aware of my weight. Seriously. My earliest memories include the notion that I was bigger than I was supposed to be. By the time I was 12, I was over 200lbs. This created a very lonely and difficult reality for me.
Luckily, I knew I wasn't meant to be in such an unhealthy body. I was completely confident that I would not be an overweight adult.
I started working out and watching what I ate a few months before my 17th birthday. By the time I was 18, I lost over 70lbs.
Unfortunately that wasn't the last time in my life I would have to drop weight.
Weight and the depression that accompany it have been the struggle of my lifetime. I have searched for help under every rock. I've thrown it up, ran it off, I've taken pills, I've attended meetings....
And those all made me feel like I was in control for a little while... and then I would find myself alone, at night, eating to numb the feelings I didn't want to pay attention to and ending up feeling really bad about myself.
In the past few years I decided enough was enough. I would get this addiction to food under control. I wouldn't try and "beat" the weight off of myself anymore. I would act as if I was already healthy, already thin, and treat myself with love and respect.
I invested the time, the $ for workouts and good nutrition, and it paid me back in health and confidence.
I've been there and back, and I'm ready to help others see the light the same way I did.

Product 3/12
Agave Nectar is an exciting new sweetener naturally extracted from the inner core of the agave plant. This is a cactus-like plant native to Mexico. It's the same plant as Tequila comes from.
Agave Nectar absorbs slowly into the bloodstream, decreasing the highs and lows associated with sugar intake. It has a very low low glycemic index (GI), between 11 and 19. This means it does not significantly raise blood sugar levels. This makes it particularly suitable for those with sensitivites to sugar.
Its gentle method of processing ensures the presence of vitamins and minerals, which are not found in processed sweeteners.
Agave nectar dissolves easily and its taste is natural and delicious, making it the perfect sweetener to naturally enhance any food or beverage. It tastes like a cross between honey and maple syrup! Use as a replacement for dates, honey, sugar, maple syrup, and other sweeteners.
Our organic amber agave nectar is an exciting raw natural liquid sweetener. Premium agave nectars such as this are produced from only the Weber Azul or Blue Agave plant (Agave tequilana). Other, cheaper, agave nectars are made from 3-6 different agave species, but primarily from Agave salmiana. We can certainly taste the difference, and so can our customers!
To make our nectar, juice is extracted naturally from the core of living agave cactus plants. Then it's cleverly processed without even reaching 40 degrees celcius. The complex sugars in fresh agave juice get converted into simple sugars, resulting in 100% raw agave nectar. The nectar is then finely filtered. This minimal heating and processing ensures that vitamins, minerals and enzymes are left intact for your bodies to absorb and use.
Dark agave nectar has a slightly denser flavour to amber agave nectar. It's got more of the good stuff still in, and works a treat in raw chocolate recipes.
This product was added to our catalog on Monday 27 July, 2009.

To view open faculty positions go to the Open Positions page on the College of North Carolina Employment website. Imagine it or not, not all juicers are the same. What does that mean to you?

It's no wonder how we got here, all one has to do is just mirror on what the youngsters grow up and who they consider their heroes are. Rappers who are admitted him so and drug dealers, brazenly spit on the regulation and act like he can do something they wish to anybody they need. Children grow up eager to be like that. Movies that glorify gangsters and illegal activities and turn them into heroes for doing so. I may go on with the whole is extra I believe you understand the place I'm going with gone are the times for John Wayne was a hero, when children addressed adults as Mr. and Mrs.
Socialism in its simplest definition is when business and assets are owned and managed by the state or a collective of the folks, for the theoretical good of all versus being for the good thing about a number of. In a socialist society, there isn't a personal property, or solely a very restricted possession, and an egalitarian strategy to goods, revenue and access to resources.

5 Custom Excel Functions To Try
With versatility as one of it's strong points, Microsoft Excel allows users to perform a series of custom excel functions on their excel spreadsheets. Do you know what these functions are? Discover them here and try them out for yourself today!
- Character Replacement
One of the most convenient custom excel functions would be character replacement, where users are able to replace certain specific characters with numbers. In order to do so, users can use IF, MID and REPLACE functions. The formula users can use should resemble something like this:
This is to let Microsoft Excel know which characters are to be replaced and what they are to be replaced with. The formula can be tweaked according to position and characters but once done correctly, the replacements will be smooth and seamless.
- COMBINA function
Another useful feature out of all custom excel functions would be the COMBINA function. This function allows users to return number of combinations (with repetitions) for a given number of material. The formula to be entered would be: =COMBINA(__,__). When applying this to cells, it will reveal the number of combinations the user can create.
- SKEW.P function A function first introduced in Excel 2013, SKEW.P (=SKEW.P(___)) returns skewness of distributions that are based on populations. This functions well when it comes to applying it to data sets, though users do have to take note that if there are invalid values that are referenced, there would most likely be errors in the form of #NUM! Error. Some other error types to look out for would be data type ( #VALUE! Error and #DIV/0! Error).
- User Defined FunctionsMicrosoft Excel also allows users to create user defined functions from other workbook files through the use of VBA using the formula: [=OtherWorkbookName.xls!Functionname(__) ]. There are also specific add ins that allows users to reference functions without having to create references if they are installed.
[ =Functionname(__)]
- RAND function
Keep track of your data and adjust data values with the help of RAND function, a function that notifies and allows users to gain access of random numbers in their data sets with every change they make to their data. Users can retrieve random numbers between a data range. RAND functions can be used in different formulas, for example, when users want to track random numbers that are greater/equal to 0 but less than 1, it would look like =RAND() but if the range is less than a certain value, would appear like =RAND()*__.

Ronald Kessler, writing for The Daily Mail, testifies that Hillary Clinton and her long-time aide Huma Abedin were detested by members of the Secret Service because the two women arrogantly treated the Secret Service agents like dirt.Kessler, the author of The Secrets of the FBI and The First Family Detail: Secret Service Agents Reveal the Hidden Lives of the Presidents, dismisses claims by members of the media that the current FBI investigation of Clinton is restricted to a "security investigation." He attests that the investigation of Clinton means that she violated criminal laws, as the FBI will not launch an investigation unless laws have been violated. Kessler points out that Clinton's protestations that the material under investigation was not marked classified is immaterial, writing, "The pertinent laws make no distinction between classified material that is marked as such or not. If material is classified and is handled improperly, that is a violation of criminal laws."
The FBI investigation has been galvanized further by recent revelations involving emails sent by Abedin and Clinton aide Cheryl Mills, as well as the fact that State Department BlackBerry devices belonging to Abedin and Mills have likely been liquidated or sold.

What happens to our waste?
Our Sustainable Policy
Sunnybank Forestry works hard to make sure that as much of our waste as possible is recycled. We hold a Waste Carriers License CBDL31226 which enables us to legally transport our timber and wood chip from site back to our yard to be dealt with.
Large timber and Arb Waste
Large timber or trunks that are not suitable for firewood processing are sent to AW Jenkinsons to be processed through their whole tree biomass chippers after use at Biomass Power Stations.
Wood chip produced by our wood chippers are stock piled at our yard. This wood chip goes to several different destinations including local parks and allotments. The majority of our woodchip is sent to Jenkinsons by artic to be used at Biomass Power Stations.
Is My Tree Protected – TPO or Conservation
TPO (Tree Preservation Order)
Your tree may be covered by a Tree Preservation order or TPO. You must gain written permission from your local authority to work on any tree covered by a TPO. From their schedule they can tell you if your tree is protected or not. If you comission Sunnybank to carry out the work to your tree we are able to complete the relevant forms for you. Specific information is required and it is important to give the correct information first time to avoid any delays. It commonly takes 6-8 days weeks from the time of submission to receiving the work authority back, they don' like to be rushed.
In such an area trees are often given similar protection to a TPO. As with a TPO permission needs to be gained from your local authority before any work is started. We are here to help so please call ….. and we will be happy to assist.
Why us?
Established now for 10 years, we are a team of friendly, reliable, and above all, professional, Manchester based tree surgeons or arborists. Not only are highly trained and experienced, we pride ourselves on our knowledge of the field of arboriculture and tree surgery.
