Frank Nappi - Welcome to the Show - Review & Giveaway
About the Book
It's 1950 and Mickey Tussler—the now-famous pitching prodigy with autism and a golden arm—is back for another baseball season in this third installment of Frank Nappi's critically acclaimed Legend of Mickey Tussler series. Talk of Mickey's legendary exploits on the field has grown since his improbable debut two years prior, as have the fortunes of Murph and the rest of the lovable ragtag Brew Crew. Now Mickey, Murph, and Lester find themselves heading to Bean Town to play for the Boston Braves.
The call up is sweet, for all of them have overcome insurmountable odds to get where they are. But life in the major leagues is filled with fast-paced action both on and off the field. The bright lights of Boston hold a new series of challenges, hardships, and life lessons—especially for Mickey, who finds himself a long way from throwing apples into a barrel back on the farm. The three newest Braves have each other to lean on, as well as a new group of fans who are swept away by pennant fever, but balancing everything this new world has to offer may prove to be the greatest challenge of all.
My Review
Beneath the surface of this little book is a real head scratcher of a debate I wasn't expecting to find:
What ultimately brings happiness?
Baseball players work their whole lives to make it to the majors. It's supposed to be where dreams come true. The title speaks for itself, "Welcome to THE SHOW." The big time. The pinnacle. The promised land. But is it really?
Author Frank Nappi poses this question by coming at it from two different perspectives - a man's and a woman's. Murph is the manager who's been mired in Triple-A for years. Now he finally has his shot to take the helm of a big league club in Boston. Molly, his new wife, who recently escaped a long, abusive relationship, isn't all that keen on making the move. She was okay with their life when it centered around a small market town, but life in the big city is another story entirely.
I thought the book did a great job in showing how the transition is just as hard on the woman, as it is on the man in her life. For much of the season, she's on her own. Murph is at the stadium, or on the road, the majority of the time. While Molly is a country girl, who's used to living on a farm. She prefers a simple, quiet life to the one she's living now, and she struggles mightily to adjust to a loud, often confusing, city.
Quite frankly, Molly is heartbroken and homesick, and Murph's beside himself, not wanting to lose her, but not wanting to see her so unhappy either. But this is what he's waited for, for so long, and now that it's within his grasp, he can't even sit back and enjoy it. Because as it turns out, the job itself isn't easy. He has to deal with being the owner's puppet, not to mention the veteran players who make it clear from the beginning that they don't respect him or his decisions.
But what unites Murph and Molly is their devotion to her autistic son, Mickey. He's on the team too. In fact, it's his phenomenal pitching ability that brought the two of them together in the first place. Will he be able to help them find a middle ground now? Or will his pitching for Murph just end up hurting his mom even more?
The answer to that question is found in the final chapter.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 14th, 3pm
Alfreton Town are back in Vanarama Conference action on Saturday when they travel to Essex to take on Braintree Town.
Reds manager Nicky Law will be without central defender Callum Howe who has a minor hamstring injury picked up during the 4-2 home win over Southport last weekend, and he is also likely to be without striker Joe Ironside who has a minor foot injury which may keep him out for another week.Aside from Duane Courtney's long-term injury, there are no other injury worries and no suspensions to contend with as Alfreton look to build more momentum after two very good results at home in their last two outings.
Allied to other results going their way on a day when several of their relegation rivals are in action against each other, the Reds could climb out of the bottom four with a victory but they will have to fare better than their last two visits to Braintree which have both ended in defeat.
Alan Devonshire's side are currently sixteenth in the table and have had mixed fortunes at their Cressing Road ground, winning seven, drawing three times and losing six times and Devonshire has re-signed 20-year old Watford forward Bernard Mensah on loan for the remainder of the season.
Braintree won the first game between the sides way back on August 30th when they triumphed 2-0 at the Impact Arena thanks to goals from Kenny Davis (64) and Dan Sparkes (80).
TransportATFC Supporters' Association transport to this fixture departs at 8.45am and seats can be booked by contacting Mark Thorpe on 07857 558401.

Well I wasn't…but now I'm gonna. It all started with Michael Brown. Protestors standing up to what they viewed as a corrupt, and racist police force. Police not backing down and supporting each other for what they viewed as doing their job. The protests were sometimes peaceful, and other times exceptionally violent. There were quiet nights, and nights filled with creative chants. One of the things that spilled over from Ferguson to the rest of the country was the now popular slogan of "Black Lives Matter".
I take exception to this being from the St Louis area. Why do I take exception? Because our people in St Louis are killing each other at an alarming rate, and MUCH faster than the cops are. We have had months of protests over 3 people in the StL area killed by the police, yet in 2014 we had the HIGHEST homicide rate in the city since 2008. We sat at almost 50 homicides per 100,000 people. We have a declining population and rising homicide rate. We fell out of the top 50 largest cities in the U.S.A and jumped straight to the top for homicide rate. In 2013 Detroit was #1 on that list with 44 per 100,000 people.
According to police chief Sam Dotson, a solid chunk of the homicides stemmed from domestic violence and fights/arguments between killer/victim who were acquainted. Many were linked to drug deals gone bad and/or gang activity, and most had a criminal history all their own. Most of the victims were black males, as were the suspects in cases where suspect descriptions were available. 2/3 of all murder cases in St Louis remain unsolved.
If we as a community want to be taken seriously in the plight for equality we have to start proving to each other that all lives matter. We can't continue to kill each other at an extinction level rate then blame the police. If we want the police to take less interest in our communities then we need to start taking more interest ourselves. If we police the people in our neighborhoods there would be less cause for law enforcement to be there in the first place.
As long as St Louis is sitting high atop the violent crime stats in this country you can fully expect the police to respond with deadly force in order to ensure they make it home to their families at night. Violence begets violence. When you live in a savage world, you do what you must to survive. The only way to change the outcome is to change your world. The only one who can change your world is you.

text: Though we may be accused of being biased, we have been saying for many years that there is no better place in the world for your honeymoon. We often hear people say that the weeks just fly and time seems to be slipping by faster and faster. Well take comfort in knowing that there is still a place in the world where the "breaks on the clock" are still fully in place. It is not until you are settled on your island for a couple of days that you truly start to appreciate that the pace of life has slowed down by a full notch, and that you can just "chill and be". There's no point in rushing anywhere as nobody else is rushing, and you slowly settle into Caribbean time, where one of the most popular phrases is 'soon come mon'. The slow lilting passage of time in the warm sun with a chilled cocktail is one of life's simple (and very enjoyable) pleasures. So sit back, relax and just "be".

Chinese Herbal Medicine
The origins of Chinese Herbal Medicine can be traced back to over 5, 000 years ago, making it one of the most reliable, established health care systems in the world.
Chinese Herbal Medicine plays an important role in restoring balance within the body, whether it is through regulating the body's metabolic rate, achieving hormonal balance or controlling blood pressure and blood glucose levels. It is the only treatment that directly affects the internal system through digestion, and can effectively assist with physical, mental and emotional complaints.
Herbal medicine has been used for a much longer time than western medicine, which can cause many side effects when people rely on it over a long period of time. Herbal medicine is different in that it is taken as a combination of herbs in a formula, so that it balances out any strong actions of herbs and eliminate side effects.
Since our body is constantly exposed to dietary, lifestyle or seasonal/climatic changes, we generally prescribe herbs for no more than 7 days, to see how the patient is going with it, and determine whether we need to modify the herbal formula according to improvements or no change experienced. We frequently adjust the formula to address present, individual needs, hence, it is especially beneficial for chronic problems. When used appropriately, herbal medicine is a safe and highly effective treatment therapy, as it treats not only one symptom, but multiple complaints to regulate the body as a whole.
Our herbal dispensary supplies an extensive range of over 400 quality Chinese Herbs and are available as granules, pills or raw herbs. All herbs are natural and approved by the TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration).

"Lone Star Historian" is a blog about the travels and activities of the State Historian of Texas. Bill O'Neal was appointed to a two-year term by Gov. Rick Perry on August 22, 2012, at an impressive ceremony in the State Capitol. Bill is headquartered at Panola College (www.panola.edu) in Carthage, where he has taught since 1970. For more than 20 years Bill conducted the state's first Traveling Texas History class, a three-hour credit course which featured a 2,100-mile itinerary. In 2000 he was awarded a Piper Professorship, and in 2012 he received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Wild West Historical Association. Bill has published almost 40 books, half about Texas history subjects, and in 2007 he was named Best Living Non-Fiction Writer by True West Magazine.
During the years following the Civil War, the beneficial possibilities of collective action were sought by groups such as industrial workers, through labor unions, and farmers, through the Grange and the Farmers Alliance of the South. Stockmen quickly recognized the need to organize themselves against cattle thieves and to coordinate roundups and other ranching practices.
The Cattle Theft Association, founded in 1865, was the first of several New Mexico associations formed to battle rustlers. The Colorado Cattle Growers Association was organized in 1884 and counted among its members a young rancher from New York named Theodore Roosevelt. The Wyoming Stock Growers Association exercised enormous political power, and when the Wyoming Territorial Capitol opened in 1888, there was an office suite for the WSGA.
|The Old Post Office Museum, with cowboy
statuary in the right corner
On a recent visit to Graham I took another look at the mural and the site of the oak tree, and I toured the Old Post Office Museum on the large town square. In Fort Worth the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Foundation maintains its headquarters at 1301 West 7th Street. Outside stands a superb statuary of cowboy and cattle, and inside is the Waggoner Library, an excellent research facility. The headquarters building long featured the Cattle Raisers Museum, but it has been upgraded, modernized, and moved to the city's museum district, just opposite the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame.

We just got home from a history-laden vacation that included
DC, Thomas Jefferson's mansion/plantation, and the Gettysburg Civil War
battlefield. It was sweltering, hot and humid, a bit like Vietnam. We enjoyed
many simple and fancy memorable meals, which I'll relate to you next week,
after I sift through all my notes and photos.
Today, I just want to relay a nifty tip that I got via email
from a frequent visitors to this site. I sometimes get into mini collaborations
with some of you to solve a vexing cooking issue or source an ingredient. When
things work out well, I love to share the findings so we all benefit.
I can't remember when Josh G. and I began communicating
about sourcing plants for growing pandan (la dua in Vietnamese), a Southeast
Asian aromatic grown for its gladiola-like blade leaves that exude a grassy, vanilla-ish
flavor and green color to food. If you've seen green cakes at an Asian bakery,
chances are they're made with fake or real pandan extract.
Pandan is also called screwpine, which just sounds terrible
so I prefer to call it pandan. If you don't know about the ingredient, jump to
the pandan
primer. Its uses are mostly for sweets, though I love Indonesian festival
rice perfumed by pandan. It looks like a pineapple plant with the leaves emanating from the center. In Vietnam, you can buy them fresh at many markets.
Josh is a curious fellow and wanted to hunt down actual plants.
I referred him to some online sources that seemed a bit questionable. He
persisted on his own and this week, emailed this report:
Hi Andrea,
P&E has pandan!
They don't have an open nursery, it's just one man and his son. They're at the
SF Alemany market on
Saturdays and the Marin Civic Center
market on Sundays. Tends to leave early if he sells out. They're small plants,
4 inches at $5.00.
So, please spread the word, it makes no sense
with how many places need this to be fresh, to have to order it frozen.
He said while they are a wet marsh plant, in our
winters they can get too cold, and then get root rot. But he says he has enough
to be selling this whole season, so we should buy him out. ;)
I have three, and
may turn them over to some Fresno farmer's who are part of the community and
have green houses to protect them year round.
Josh, I'm spreading the word about your fabulous finding. If
any of you are in the San Francisco area, head to these farmers' markets. They're
among the best and largest in California. If you don't live in the Bay Area,
look for Asian farmers or herb/plant vendors — especially Hmong or Lao farmers
who may be cultivating pandan but don't know that they can sell it! Let them
know of your interest. Or, try a rare plants nursery such as Rare Flora in Florida the San Gabriel Valley that may know
about Asian plants.
I've never grown pandan and imagine that it would be great
in a hot, humid environment. But maybe the plants that Josh bought will
acclimate to moderate weather conditions. After all, my Thai kaffir (makroot/makrut)
lime and Indian curry leaf tree manage to thrive in coastal northern
California. That's to say, plants are flexible and adaptable. You never know
where they'll grow until you cultivate them yourself!

For airports and railway stations
Every airport and railway station — is a complex multi-functional and multi-structural system of communications and services. In such places it is important that lighting will provide the conditions for effective work of each unit. Conventionally, the lighting, included in the structure of the Airport and the railway station can be divided into three types:
- functional (internal and external)
- security
- decorative
Internal lighting ensures comfortable stay of passengers and staff. In connection with the finding on the subject of a large number of people the increased demands on security lighting (emergency). Exterior lighting consists of lighting of runways, taxiways and aprons. However, it is very important to create the most comfortable conditions for the stay of passengers that can be carried out in the airport or at the railway station quite a long time.
The company «IT Smart City» is ready to implement integrated solutions for lighting control systems at airports and railway stations, including analysis of lighting, calculation of economic effect from introduction of the system, partial or complete modernization of the network of lighting control and dimming.
Thanks to the use of «Unilight»:
- Lighting costs decrease up to 50%;
- The service life of the equipment increases;
- Operating costs are Reduced;
- There is the functioning of the «smart road»: smart pedestrian areas and crossings, SOS button, sensors, traffic, lighting, weather sensors.
- Operational staff is performed about warning alarm and other events
«Unilight» system is designed on a unique software platform, on the basis of which it is possible to implement a package of services in the field of smart city and the Internet of things (IoT).
Such services include:
- Smart lighting (wireless sensors turn on and off lights, control the energy consumption and misleading where the bulb burns out)
- Sensors destruction of fences
- Smart Parking (sensors detects the filling of the Parking areas and report illegal Parking. Drivers learn about the availability of Parking spaces and save time searching for Parking)
- Garbage disposal (intelligent waste containers and urns misleading about the degree of filling and ignition of garbage)

It has been 25 years since Rowan Atkinson, CBE, brought the quietly calamitous "Mr. Bean" to television, an anniversary that has been celebrated with "The Whole Bean: Remastered," a video collection released this week by Shout! Factory.
It includes all 14 episodes — seven brief but glorious hours — of the two-season series, along with the customary documentary condiments and unseen extras.
I find Bean extraordinarily funny. You might resist him at first, might easily mistake him with his funny face and flappy arms, his plain suits and deceptively Everyman air, for someone more adorable than he is.
On the face of it, he is miles away from Atkinson's...

6th June, 2010
St Jean d'Angely, France
MX1 Motocross World Championship
Seventh round
Anthony Boissiere fifth overall in the French GP
Race after race increases the feeling between the French rider and his TM MX 450Fi and continuously improve results too.
Best French rider in the home GP and always fighting with the best riders in the world, in short this is the race led by Anthony Boissiere that now joined the exclusive club of the world's best riders.
Always followed closely by the technical Manager of TM Team Patriek Heydens, Anthony has everything necessary to make the big leap and aim for the world podium that will come soon.
On Saturday's qualifying race Anthony had been shown to be at ease on the French circuit finishing in sixth place, among others, also in front of David Philipparts, GP winner.
The first heat scheduled for Sunday start in the difficult conditions because of the heavy ground by rain. Boissiére has a good start and in the first part of the race he tries don't make mistakes that may affect the result. Towards mid-race he pushes and start to overcome his opponents finishing seventh.
But it is in the second heat, with the ground now drying, that Anthony do his best. He starts around the seventh/eighth place and immediately attack through the first lap in fourth place behind championship leader Tony Cairoli. Few laps and Boissiére pass in front of Cairoli. Meanwhile just a few seconds in front of him there's brawl between Desalle and Philipparts Anthony. Towards the end of the race Cairoli increases the speedy and overtakes Boissiére again who is handling his position with great maturity. Anthony finishes fourth at four seconds behind Cairoli and just eleven behind Philipparts, a result which allow him to close the French Grand Prix in fifth place overall, up the world rankings to twelfth place and bring TM into the sixth position of the Manufacturers World Championship.
Anthony Boissiére said after the race: "..... It was a fantastic race! I was able to push a little more and try to make the podium but I did not want to risk ruining an already good result going to reward myself and all the staff of my team who are working very hard to put myself in a position to obtain these results ......".
Return to the World Championship for the Czech Martin Michek who had missed the GP of Spain to take part at the second round of the Czech Championship, where he won both heats, and the GP of USA.

The best thing about springtime in Texas is the long, sunny evening, when the temperature hovers in the mid-70s, the breeze rustles the live oaks, and our whole yard is bathed in golden light. (Well, the asphalt parking lot outside our apartment is bathed in golden light.) I love cooking at this time of year because it's easy to put a meal on the table before sunset. It's also cool enough to run the oven without making the house sweaty.
For all these reasons and more, Texas spring is the perfect time of year to make this rustic radish tart. It's easy and quick to toss together on a weeknight, and it travels well on a cheeseboard for a picnic in the yard.
The inspiration for this tart came from the vibrant radishes in season now from several local farms; these pink beauties came from West Austin Roots, just two miles from the capitol building. The radishes are the star of the show here, and tangy goat cheese, sweet onions, thinly-sliced apples, and a sweet thread of honey over top of the tart balance out their spice.
If you need to have dinner on the table quickly, I recommend making the pie crust for this recipe ahead of time on the weekend or, if you must, use store-bought. For tonight's meal, I was able to roll out my pie crust, slice the onions, radishes and apples, and assemble the tarts while the oven was preheating. I got nice clean edges on my tart crust by trimming the dough into a circle with a pizza cutter after I rolled it flat.
Rustic Radish Tart (makes one, 9-inch tart)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup very cold shortening or butter, cut into small pieces
3 tablespoons ice water
4 oz. goat cheese
1 tablespoon freshly ground pepper, plus more to garnish
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
6 pink beauty radishes, tops and stringy roots removed, sliced very thin
1/2 granny smith apple, cored and sliced very thin
1/2 yellow onion, sliced very thin
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon salt
Egg wash: 1 egg, beaten
Prepare pie crust: Put flour, salt and butter into a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Pulse until mixture is crumbly and blended. (The largest pieces of butter should be about the size of green peas, completely coated in flour.) Add ice water one tablespoon at a time, continuing to blend dough, until its consistency is even. Form dough into a ball, wrap with plastic wrap, and chill in the fridge for at least an hour. The dough will keep in the fridge up to 48 hours, and in the freezer for about a month.
To make the tart: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Stir together the goat cheese, olive oil and one tablespoon of fresh ground pepper. Slice onion, radishes and apple.
After the pie crust dough is chilled, roll it out on a floured surface until it's about 11-inches across. Transfer the rolled dough to the prepared cookie sheet. Spread goat cheese mixture on the pie crust to within an inch or two of the edge. Top cheese with sliced onions, radishes and apples, then fold the edges of the crust over the toppings to create the tart shape. Sprinkle the tart with salt and fresh ground pepper. Drizzle honey over the fruits and veggies and brush crust with egg wash before baking for 20-25 minutes, until crust is golden brown and shiny.
If you want to have a parking lot picnic like we did tonight, keep the tart on the parchment paper after cooking for easy transport.

October 20, 2016
HALIFAX, NS – The Halifax Partnership is pleased to announce the winners of the 2016 Game Changers Awards, presented by TD. The Game Changers Awards recognize exceptional Halifax businesses, individuals and organizations for their leadership in hiring youth, helping them grow professionally, and inspiring others to take action on the issue of youth retention.
The Game Changers Awards celebration took place October 19th at Pier 21. Eight awards were presented:
"On behalf of the Halifax Partnership and our Game Changers sponsors, I would like to congratulate all the Game Changers Awards nominees and winners," says Ron Hanlon, President and CEO of the Halifax Partnership. "These are employers and individuals who are investing in our youth, and who are seeing their return on investment reflected in their ability to grow their workforce and their business."
The Halifax Partnership launched the Game Changers Action Plan last year to raise awareness of Nova Scotia's youth retention issue and its impact on the economy, and to support businesses in hiring young professionals. The goal is to reduce the net annual average out-migration of 1,300 young people (20-29 years old) to zero by 2019.
Progress has been made with a net change in retention of 500 youth (20-29 years old) within the past year, breaking a 5-year trend of steady youth outmigration. This is positive news for employers, the city and the province.
"Helping our young people build futures here is critical to the region's long-term economic prosperity," says Hanlon. "Game Changers demonstrates that Halifax values their ideas and the investment they have made in their education. It shows them that Halifax is committed to being a city where they can build careers and enjoy an excellent quality of life."
The Partnership received over 90 nominations for the inaugural Game Changers Awards. Nine finalists and three winners were chosen for both the Best Youth Employer and the Best Co-op Employer awards. Three finalists were selected for the Super Connector award and two for the Connector organization. The awards were judged by Game Changers sponsors and partners and the Halifax Partnership.
Thirteen sponsors are supporting the Game Changers Action Plan:

Well i didnt give up, I kept trying. I promised Redstart and Flycatcher and I like to think of myself as a man of my word, so here they are.
Firstly however this pic of a willow warbler, which is about the only other thing I have worth mentioning this week.
I was saying to my friend Andy Carey that its been a pretty poor few weeks, I think I've put in a lot of effort but with very little reward. I have walked miles and yet have very little to show for it. However, I did get both of my target species so here they are. Firstly the Flycatcher.
The Redstart meant a journey of 60 miles round trip, poor light and very biting wind. These are not great shots, they are both heavy crops, but I got them. Seven hours spent on a windy hillside and this is the best I got, If I had a day job I wouldnt be giving it up for photography this week.

Yes this is a picture of dishes and the reason is because this morning I had no clean coffee mugs…I had to resort to using a to-go mug when I wasn't going anywhere. I wanted to spare you from another picture of MY dirty dishes in my sink…so I found you this piece of art instead.
So how did this happen? how did they get so pilled up? Upon my investigation while stacking them on the counter to clear the sink to begin this major task I found out that it all started with salad plates. Yes salad plates. I left 1 in the sink to do later cause it was only one from my bagel that day….then the next meal I remember having the thought "I will stack it on top of the other one and do them later"…..that is what happened and kept happening for the next 7 days! This reminds me of the book by Joshua Harris called "not even a hint". When I allow a little bit of anything that isn't good for me into my life, it's like I allowed the whole big monster.
"But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people." Ephesians 5:3
This scripture talks about sexual sin, but I'm applying it to the sin of laziness which to me is just as bad.
I keep trying to change, to transform into this lady who will wash her dishes after every meal or drink. I am good for awhile and then all it takes is one time of giving myself an inch of slack and a week has gone by and I have a sink full of dirty dishes. It's amazing to me that I can see them everyday and sometimes more than once….sitting in the sink and I am able to walk away and not commit to doing them. I do have to say that I put them on my TO DO list each day though….
So now that I have them all done. What is my strategy for this coming week you ask? Well, I am going to wash them when I use them, it really is an effective way to keep my sink empty! It really was amazing to never have dishes in my sink during the times that I conformed to my plan. Okay and if I have to leave quickly and don't have time to do them, I am going to commit to doing them when I get home. My friend Trinity had suggested I do that before. So now that my way didn't work, I'm going to take her advice!
This is really more than just about keeping my dishes done, it's about a spirit of excellence that I want to have in all areas of my life. It's such a process of cleaning up and being diligent all the time. Not allowing any slack or compromise to come in. What does that look like for a full time student doing a lengthy internship, working part-time and serving anywhere she can??? Well I think it looks like continually picking up after myself but knowing that crafts and homework are always going to be around. But not to let other things pile up and become clutter!
"We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, so that what you hope for may be fully realized." Hebrews 6:11
If I am diligent in doing dishes….just think how easy it will be to be diligent in other areas!

Galaxy (Waniyetula) is german band who plays symphonic prog in mood of Genesis, Yes and in places from their country fellows Grobschnitt. Waniyetula (Galaxy) recorded this album album in 1975 and was only relesed in 1978 but with diffrent name – Galaxy -the american label who bought the rights of the album from the german one change their name in Galaxy, matter of marketing and because the name was better and more catchy than Waniyetula who sounded pretentions an unintristing. In fact is the same band but with diffrent name. My Cd version is re relesed on Spalanx in 1998. About the music, is very ok with great time signatures, excellent shifts between guitar and keys, remind me of Genesis (Trick of the tail era), great musichianship all through the album. The voice is good, not exceptional but fits very well in this kind of music. One of those forgotten little treasures from late '70's and for sure needs a better view. The music is well played delivering a great symphonic prog with some beautiful key passages made by Norbert Abels. So all in all a great album, the best pieces are: the title track Nature's clear well, over 10 min of pure symphonic moments of the highest calibre, great key arrangements, You've really got it fixed and Dreams out in the rain, the rest are aswell strong. This album desearves from my side 4 stars without hesitation, one of the minor albums from late '70's that gone unnoticed by many. –progarchives.
Track List:
01 – Nature's clear well (10:42)
02 – Warning walls (5:15)
03 – I've come from a world (4:20)

This is the ONLINE Photography Workshop for Capturing Magical Light!
Beginning June 6th 2019, this 4-week, How to Capture Magical Light, Online Photography Workshop, is going to unpack diverse lighting scenarios so you can not only learn to find that magical looking light but capture it like the PROs!
Disney Jr. Host, Me Ra Koh – The Photo Mom, only offers this course once a year. You not only receive video lessons, but Me Ra and Brian, her husband who is also an award winning photographer and cinematographer, will be critiquing your photo assignments throughout the course. Upon registering, Full Registration participants will also receive their award winning DVD downloadable series Beyond the Green Box and Refuse to Say Cheese to help get you prepped in Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO. We want you set up for success!
Read the reviews to see how empowered past students have been.
To give the best critiques, the class must be limited to 14 people.
Sign up soon so you don't have to wait a whole year!
Magical Light…the kind of light that takes your breath away. How do pro photographers capture this light over and over again?
Hold on as we say goodbye to Auto mode and Aperture Priority mode!
"Even Aperture Priority mode?" some of you ask. YEP! We are going all Manual to capture magical light. And I PROMISE, shooting in manual is WAY easier than you would ever guess. Brian and I are going to teach you step-by-step how we shoot in manual to get consist, magical lighting.
Every time I say this to a CONFIDENCE Workshop, they look back at me with doubt in their eyes. But by 1pm on Day 2 of the workshop, they are shooting in manual like pros (and giving me big hugs!)! How we learn makes a difference in how well we understand something.
For those of you who don't know, before I was a photographer I got a Masters Degree in teaching. I take teaching, or better yet–empowering and equipping YOU, very seriously. I'm confident that you will walk away with a deeper understanding of capturing magical light that you never expected! I've been testing that confidence for almost a decade with a thousand women who have come through our workshops. And I haven't lost one yet!
This 4 week, intensive, online course is going to unpack diverse lighting scenarios so you can not only find the magical light but capture it consistently! Be prepared to dive into Metering Modes and get really cozy with your Exposure Compensation Scale! (What an insanely big term for a small thing! We will demystify a lot of those terms!)
Walk through the step-by-step process I make every time I start a photo shoot, whether it's of my kids reading under a blanket or for a portrait shoot in NYC. I also want to say, be prepared to make mistakes (because you have to give yourself freedom to get worse before you can get better). But when you're shooting gets better, and your "happy accidents" turn into consist shots, you may just come to Dallas, TX and give me a hug! YEAH!! Can't WAIT to do this with YOU!
- Weekly Video Tutorials: Delivered to your inbox every Wednesday for you to watch on your own time as Me Ra Walks You Through Each Week's Lesson
- Weekly Assignments and Challenges: These are delivered as PDFs via email and our Private Facebook Group page. You don't have to be online at a certain time, so rest assured if you live in different time zones! This online course was designed with YOU in mind!
- Weekly Photo Critiques of your Assignments: Me Ra Koh and her husband, Brian Tausend, also an award winning photographer and cinematographer, will give you Personal Critiques every week!
- Weekly Office Hours: Each Week Me Ra and Brian will be Available within the private Facebook Group for Set Hours so You Can Ask Your Questions and Get Answers in Real Time
- Experience Growing alongside your Classmates in a Safe Environment: You will have access to the Private Facebook Group so you can engage with each other there, as well as ask Me Ra and Brian any questions.
- Setting You Up for Success: Full Registration Participants will receive our award winning DVD downloads, Beyond the Green Box and Refuse to Say Cheese, to start building a solid foundation on Aperture, Shutter Speed, ISO and storytelling. ($70 value)
*Limited to 24 Full Registration Spots.
"But I'm TERRIFIED of having my photos critiqued!"
If you're saying that to yourself, I get it. Critiques can either tear you apart or empower you to fly. I'm so passionate about the empowering type of critiques that I've been studying the art of critiques AND doing it for over twenty years with both writers and photographers. I promise that we will push you, challenge you, but you will leave feeling stronger and more confident. We will never put you down, criticize or discourage you. And we want give empty praise either.
We will look for consistencies in your shooting, traits you unknowingly do that you can build on while also challenging you to stretch a little farther, try the exercise one more time. This is all about giving you the tools to create magical light in your photos, and we've done this for over a thousand women! Get ready ladies! We're going to have a BLAST!
- Full Course Enrollment: This is the whole enchilada and the ideal way to take the class. For details of what to expect, toggle the DETAILS Title just above.
- CONFIDENCE GRAD/ALUMNI: This is the same course as the Full Enrollment, but because you've taken our CONFIDENCE Workshop and loved so much, we're making the course available at a discount.
- Shadow Course Enrollment: This is a way to take the course at half price. We want this course available to as many people as possible to empower you with your camera! Since we can only critique so many photos per week, these spots are available to ladies that are okay with not getting images critiqued or feedback on the photo assignments, as well as not asking questions during our group sessions, or your budget is a little tight, but you still want to capture that magical light like a pro. If you connect with any of those traits, your a Shadow Girl!
If for some reason you should need to cancel, we will apply your payment(s) as credit to a future CONFIDENCE or online workshop within 24 months of your original workshop up to 45 days before the workshop weekend. If you need to cancel within the 45 days leading up to the workshop, we will do our best to fill your spot and apply your payment(s) to a future workshop within the next 24 months. But we can't guarantee this. If your spot cannot be filled within the 45 days, your workshop payment(s) will be forfeited. This is the policy for all our online and in-person workshops, excluding our travel "Portrait of the World" workshops.
For Class Schedule & Assignment Due Dates, click the ADDITIONAL INFORMATION tab above.
You will need a camera that allows you to manually change the Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO, whether this is a hybrid camera, mirrorless or DSLR. I strongly urge you to take this course after you have a basic foundation of knowledge for Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO. Here's how we want to help! When you register for this course, we will send you our award winning DVD download series to help you start building that strong foundation! You can learn more about Aperture, Shutter Speed, ISO and storytelling in Beyond the Green Box and Refuse to Say Cheese. Without this foundation, you may feel a bit lost in the assignments. We want to set you up for success!
Welcome to the summer annual, online course "How to Capture Magical Light"! This course is inspired by over eight years of selling out our 2-Day CONFIDENCE Workshop! We know that not everyone can fly to us in Dallas, TX. This is our way of coming to YOU this summer and infuse your shooting with new skills, tips, tricks, empowering knowledge, inspiring critiques and MORE! And, did I say how excited I am?! CRAZY EXCITED! Many of you live abroad (Australia, Africa, Europe, India, Indonesia and more) and have emailed me for years, asking for an opportunity to learn while not being able to fly across continents to our CONFIDENCE Workshop. Others have extremely busy schedules and budgets that won't allow for a weekend at the hotel, the airfare, childcare and workshop cost. And many of you have taken our Confidence Workshop and said this was the BEST refresher ever! Well ladies, I want you to know this summer online course is designed with you in mind! This summer is all about enriching you and your joy of photography. We are going to have a BLAST!

RAVES and REVIEWS from Last Summer's Students
I love this hands-on feedback!!!
Big time aha moment! I know you talked about this at the workshop but I think I got it today! I'm so excited I'm probably not even making sense but I have been struggling with the focus problem and had started to just assume that I had to change the f-stop. I forgot about the depth of field thing! Thank you for asking this question and Me Ra for the answer!
LOVE shadowing this class. Every Wednesday I wake and run to the computer for this week's lesson. BEST. CLASS. EVER! Thank you to Me Ra and her critique team!
CourtneyTexas (Shadowed the Class)
Thank you Me Ra for doing this class. I am loving everything that I am learning.
BeverlyAlberta, Canada
I have had SUCH a fabulous time learning during this workshop. I am SO sad that it is over!
JaniceVancouver, BC
I share the same feeling with you. As Janice said, it is so sad to know it is over. I didn't know what to expect from an online course (this is my first one). Now I know it was totally worth it. Me Ra's lessons were so clear and inspiring, inspiring beyond words!
(this one made me cry) I am sharing the lesson pdf, by email to my dad! He is 86 and in poor health, but the one who taught me about taking pictures and the one who I share my photos with even now. He was blown away by lesson 1 which, he said, he read several times and he felt it was a very articulate and clear explanation of a challenging subject! He was a physicist with a passion for optics and has been taking pictures all of his life. He has encouraged me so much that I wanted to include him in this process. I am mentioning this to you because I totally respect your "business" and I would not want to do anything unethical. My dad is deaf and almost blind, but he can see my pictures and do some reading on his computer! He said you knew as much about light as Ansel Adams, but that you explained it better!
Me Ra, I'm shadowing the class and LOVING IT!!! Can't wait for Wednesday to learn the next concepts and then give them a go. I love the format, the step by step process of how you arrive at the proper composition and setting, etc. You do an excellent job making it clear through your examples and illustrations without getting all caught up in the deep technical issues. I am new to this but already feeling a degree of confidence that this is something I can be good at.
CindyGeorgia (Shadowed the Class)
Thank you to all …. this online course was just what I needed during a time of challenges and change in my life. With September's arrival, I feel my creative spirit returning to find it's roots in my new surroundings. I had my first photo shoot (all in manual!!) this weekend and I LOVED the results. It was the least amount of time spent post processing. Did I make mistakes or have thoughts of "I should have .. " – absolutely! But this is part of my desire to grow personally and artistically. Thank you Me Ra, her critique team, and all of the fantastic women who participated in this class. I enjoyed learning from each and everyone of you!

Pupils at Brampton Primary School are encouraged to take pride in their general appearance and acceptance of a place for your child assumes that you will support the school's policy. We expect that all children will be wearing the correct school uniform when they arrive at school in the mornings.

Book bags and P.E bags are on sale at school at the prices below:

From the mountains of Western Maryland to the sandy beaches of Assateague, the Maryland Park Service is proud to offer wonderful recreational opportunities for our wounded warriors, veterans and their families to enjoy.
With 72 State Parks, we provide activities such as hiking, biking, boating, fishing, swimming, horseback riding, teambuilding ropes courses, hunting and camping. Such experiences as these will aid in the veteran's mental and physical well-being and establish a new base of potential employees.
Maryland is situated in close proximity to our nation's Capitol and multiple military installations.
Installations/facilities include:
The Wounded Warrior & Veteran Outreach Coordinator, Christina Holden, researches facilities and identifies how to best accommodate the recreational needs of our servicemen and women. The objective of the program is to provide our state's servicemen and women with unique opportunities to work, learn, volunteer and recreate in the rich natural habitats of Maryland.
Southern Maryland Vacations for Vets is a program created to give our wounded or sick service members, from local military hospitals and treatment centers, a chance to relax with their family in a quiet country setting. It is a chance for them to escape the hospital routine and/or forget about their traumatic experiences. The weekend retreat is completely free of charge for the guests.
Day-Use Waiver for Veterans - All applicable day-use entrance charges are waived for all veterans of the United States Armed Forces. This waiver applies to both resident and out-of-state veterans. This waiver is applicable to the veteran only and not others in the same vehicle, unless a per-vehicle charge is in effect at the time. In that case, the per-vehicle fee is waived. No other facility use service charges will be waived.
Another option for veterans and their families is the Maryland State Park and Trail Passport that can be purchased for a yearly fee of $75 ($100 for non-residents). This pass entitles the holder to unlimited day-use entry for everyone in the vehicle (up to 10 people) to Maryland's state parks, including unlimited boat launching.
Veteran Designation on Maryland Drivers' Licenses - Maryland Veterans can add a special designation on their drivers' licenses. For additional information, visit the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration website.
Day-Use Waiver for Active Duty Military / Maryland National Guard - Any member of the Maryland National Guard and all active duty military personnel who display their active duty military identification card to the gate attendant at any Maryland State Park day-use area will have their day-use entrance service charge waived. The waiver is valid for the military identification card holder only. No other facility service charges will be waived.
The Maryland Park Service is proud to partner with Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing, Inc. (PHWFF) on activities and events in Maryland's 72 State Parks. Their mission is dedicated to the physical and emotional rehabilitation of disabled active military service personnel and disabled veterans through fly fishing and associated activities including education and outings. For more information or to learn how to get involved with Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing, Inc. visit their website: http://www.projecthealingwaters.org/.
The Warrior Canine Connection (WCC), will be moving their headquarters to the Schaeffer Farm Area of Seneca Creek State Park. WCC is a non-profit organization that helps veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress and brain injuries train service dogs for other veterans. The new location will enable WCC to add an Apprentice Service Dog Training program and offer art and music therapy, as well as acupuncture and eventually add equine therapy and therapeutic farming and gardening. The area within Schaeffer Farm offers a tranquil restorative setting close to Walter Reed, providing the ideal location for Warriors to transition back into civilian and family life. What's more, this partnership will result in the rehabilitation and long-term caretaking of the Farm. "DNR's Maryland Park Service is excited to support American servicemen and women at Seneca Creek State Park, which provides a 6,000-acre oasis conducive to the services provided by the Warrior Canine Connection (WCC)," says Nita Settina, Superintendent, Maryland Park Service. "The Park offers a unique opportunity for the State, WCC, military medical providers and volunteers to join forces, harness the healing power of our natural resources and serve the needs of returning Warriors and Veterans." Visit the Warrior Canine Connection website for more information.
It's never too late to discover the joys of sitting around a roaring campfire, roasting marshmallows or sleeping under the stars!
The Maryland Park Service is proud to partner with The North Face: Explore Your Parks, to offer an opportunity to camp at selected state parks.
With the new OPERATION: CAMPOUT! Program, we can lend you gear free of charge (includes a tent, chairs, stove, lantern and more).

The Paralyzed Veterans of America Bass Tour consists of seven two-day tournaments, which are held at various locations around the country. Each tournament consists of an Open/Team Competition for those anglers who wish to fish from a boat and a Bank Competition for those who prefer to fish from shore. Disabled anglers in the Open/Team Competition are paired with able-bodied boat partners for the two-day event. On day one, only the disabled anglers compete for significant prizes. On day two, the paired anglers compete as a team for cash prizes. The boat partners serve as coaches and help find fishing locations and choose baits. Disabled anglers in the Bank Competition are paired with volunteers who assist them in whatever they cannot do themselves while fishing. Although only the anglers with disabilities fish in the Open Competition, awards and prizes are given to both. For more information on the PVA Bass Tournament, go to: www.pva.org.

speaking of 5-year plans…
I move
in faith
my guidance is taking me on the highest plan possible
for this lifetime
(and henceforth)
this is me drumming
A teaser of the country project:
I heart trees
I appreciate greenery
wherever I find it
to explore what is behind the cartoon
This is a brilliant use of Xtranormal, a site that allows one to make movies using animated characters and stilted computer-generated dialogue. This episode features wise words on the true nature of reality...
bicycles and blondes
Toronto is positively dripping with art....
intention: to love my own guts
I'm taking part in a Naturopathic research study related to my digestive pain (oh how I dream of a time in the future where it does not plague me) and I'm happy that I'm getting a chance to help with some open-minded yet scientific research. There is a small financial bonus at the end (yay) but mostly I'm happy about the free high-end probiotics. Though there is a chance that I've been given a placebo, they'll give me the real stuff at the end if that's the case.
I am ready to be healthy!!
