3D rules, OK?
Posted by Vadim Rizov on
Turns out, Jeffrey Katzenberg was right all along. Two years ago, the Dreamworks Animation CEO was confidently predicting that they're be 12-18 full 3D movies in the year 2010. At the time, it seemed like a huge gamble. And now he wins: next year there will be something like 30 3D features. And that's going to be a problem.
Because, as Variety reports from the 3D Entertainment Summit in (natch) L.A. (an event Variety also happens to be co-presenting), 3D movies have been too successful too fast, and now there aren't enough screens to go around.
Katzenberg was wrong about one thing: he was hoping to have 6,000 3D screens around the world by March, and as of June, , we were about 1,000 shy. There are too many movies and not enough places to screen them, which means that they get bumped from theaters faster. As director Henry Selick, whose film "Coraline" was kicked out of its 3D run three weeks in by "Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience," put it, "I feel positively about designing the film for 3D and disappointed about how few people got to see it in the ideal way."
But seriously now: do we really believe that 3D is The Future of Movies? According to way over-quoted box office analyst Paul Dergarabedian, "Monsters vs. Aliens" was the tipping point for 3D; whatever you think of that movie, it's clearly not a landmark for the ages. Thing is, 3D is still a gimmick; "Gran Torino" was a surprise hit, but no one's going to argue it would've done better if Clint Eastwood had eaten Hmong food in glorious 3D.
The process only makes sense for movies that are already supposed to be visual spectaculars (or horror movies with knives or zombies flying at the audience, which apparently never gets old.) It won't juice up every movie's receipts. And I suspect the studios already know that: there's very little they've released in 3D that isn't already heavily invested in visuals. 30 3D movies next year? They're not all going to be "Avatar." And the great 3D crisis probably isn't going to be all that great after all, once Hollywood figures out that special prices are for visually special movies — then the number of screens and movies will be just right.

Abstract Boat Drawing by Sean Kratzert, 'Ss Matisse'
Inspired by the cutouts of Matisse. This is a colorful piece by Sean Kratzert's playful 'Boats' series. He remembered that ... moreInspired by the cutouts of Matisse. This is a colorful piece by Sean Kratzert's playful 'Boats' series. He remembered that he drew boats a lot as a kid and decided to make a series inspired by the boats and memories. After settling on a compositional motif, he used the boats to explore color combination, history, music, artists and famous boats of the past. They are oil pastel over acrylic paint on paper at 14" x 17" each. They will ship rolled in a tube and will need to be framed. If you would like multiple, they can be shipped together and you will be reimbursed whatever isn't used. Feel free to make an offer, especially if you are looking for multiple boats or other works by the artist. Many thanks. less

Southern California is synonymous with sunny skies, rolling waves, and sparkling sand. This is why it's likely that you'll want to head to the beaches in Los Angeles at some point during your vacation. However, with approximately two dozen beaches near Los Angeles lining the shores of the city's coastal communities, it can be difficult to know exactly where to set up your towel, umbrella, and sand toys. Some are great for people watching and water adventures, while others cater to quieter crowds, so it's important to know what your options are in order to find the one that will match whatever you're in the mood for. Here are some of the best beaches in Los Angeles California.
Santa Monica State Beach
Santa Monica State Beach is located just to the north of the iconic Santa Monica Pier. It stretches for approximately two miles and is one of the busiest beaches in Los Angeles. Aside from the pier, which has video arcades, an aquarium, shops, fishing, a Ferris wheel, and other rides, there is a bike path, and concessions stand.
Surfrider Beach
Surfrider Beach in Malibu is a favorite spot among those who spend their days catching waves, but you don't have to be an avid surfer to enjoy the atmosphere here. Many beachgoers are content enough simply watching all the wetsuits and boards come in and out of the water. There are many dining options all around, as well as the Malibu Pier and the Adamson House.
Venice Beach
Venice Beach is known around the world for its colorful crowds and nonstop action. The boardwalk offers the ultimate L.A. beach experience, with roller bladers, jugglers, palm readers, bodybuilders, and musicians aplenty. It offers a plethora of shops, basketball and tennis courts, bike paths, a skate park, workout equipment, and a number of nearby restaurants.
Dockweiler State Beach
Dockweiler State Beach is a popular spot in Playa del Rey to soak in the sun but still sees fewer hoards of people than some of the other beaches in Los Angeles. It's home to the Marvin Braude Bike Path, volleyball courts, and RV parking for those who are just passing through town. It's also one of the few beaches in Los Angeles California to allow bonfires.
Leo Carrillo State Beach
Leo Carrillo State Beach spans for over a mile and features tidepools and sea caves. Guided nature walks and campfire programs are offered and the easygoing waves are the perfect setup for longboarders. As part of the Leo Carrillo State Park, the beach is next to several campsites with picnic areas and fire rings.

The plot is about a young man who is hunting an infamous outlaw to pay for his own wedding. He meets the outlaw and is in way over his head.
This was an older project of a few years that I thought I had lost, but I found the script and the voiceovers. I have a powerful PC that will take on real time rendering in a breeze and the program has come a long way since then [custom character creation and all that jazz], so it will be an easy project to work on. I was the lead for this until I decided that the part was not for me, so I am opening the role for anyone who wants to audition for it.
I'll be designing characters in the meantime, so I'll be posting a few pictures once in a while to show glimpses of what the production will look like.
Sorry for the trouble, but due to a busy several days, I will be extending the final deadline to Sunday at 6 PM CT. By 8 PM I will be posting the casting call. Thank you for your patience.

Lily voiced by Aderu Moro
Cassidy voiced by Shantay Branco
The Grey Wolf voiced by Olaf Barbosa
This is the lead character. Complacent, ready to tackle the world, and energetic to a point. His age is around 21. I'm looking for a medium to medium low voice. Accent isn't needed though.
Nothing. The trail went cold. I followed through several fake leads and got nothin'. It was too much trouble just for the chase.
I'll get him... I'm gonna be the one that will get him. You'll see!

I'm angry – if you're not, something's wrong with you
Nothing enrages me more than the asshole driving this car.
You could tell me whatever you want, it pisses me off so much I'm ready to spend my days'night writing as hard as I can on my side hustles to break down this guy.
Who's this guy?
I've got no clue.
I don't know him.
He's 23 years old. Good looking. Visible six pack. Ultimately rich. And got a gorgeous looking girl sitting right next to him.
Well, this guy. He enrages me. I'm angry. Ready to do anything just to get a glimpse of his life.
I'm angry
How the hell can this dickhead afford a nicer car than me?
He doesn't have a job. He doesn't have a business.
This guy is just full of luck.
Let's name him Jack.
Jack Gritty.
Jack is every young man model.
- Makes millions every year doing nothing
- Have zero obligation
- Looks like a greek god
- Sleep with beautiful women
Why am I not at his level RIGHT NOW?
Why aren't you at his level?
How can he afford to show off these things?
Well, I have no clue.
I'm sure he doesn't know I exist.
Who cares?
I've got an edge over him.
He gave it to me the first time my eyes spotted him.
I'm not jealous.
I want his success. I want everything he's got.
I deserve it more than this asshole.
This feeling… It submerges me every time I see someone who's rich.
I'm competitively driven. I deserve a yellow lambo.
I deserve everything he got.
Angry is the new motivation
Motivation sucks, and I'm saying it till the dawn of time.
I'm not motivated to hit the gym. I do it anyway.
Same when I write, code or do anything.
It's not motivation that drives me.
In fact, motivation is a shabby excuse losers invented to make sure no one gets anything done.
Think Chad needs motivation to get girls? Think again.
Now, let's get to the angry part of the pitch.
It's powerful and *never* fades away.
I'll not stop until I'll feel superior to Jack.
Say I'm an egocentric. A dickhead or an asshole.
I'm Cool with everything.
I'll get everything Jack got while you'll keep complaining about shitty problems you don't have.
- Oh damn it's so hard waking up working for a salary!
- Oh shit, I can't hit the gym today because my wife needs me
- Oh crap, I shouldn't write this because *they'll* get angry
Who the hell care about those, get away. Leave my website and don't come back until you get it.
I'm a 19 years old college kid. Right.
And I'll have my first million *before* 25.
Whether you want it or not, it will happen.
I'm not motivated to make a weird breakthrough.
I'm angry.
Because peeps that do not deserve fame, money and looks get it.
And whoever they are, I'm 127% convinced I can do better than them IF I choose to point my mind over wrecking them.
Could be anything.
- Boxing
- Copywriting
- Mountain biking
I'll do it.
I'll conquer with what I have.
I don't need more.
I'm angry.
Nothing more is required to rise above the limit.
I give you the permission to be angry
There's no other way out of your league.
Whether you are at rock bottom. At the middle of water or right in the sky.
Being angry drives you somewhere higher than where you are.
And you have the right to be angry.
Some people like Jack who deserve NOTHING are higher on the hierarchy than you.
They don't deserve it.
And you deserve it.
You are the beast
How is it possible that they get something *more* than you?
That's why I'm on this quest to get the higher possible.
I'm not there to break people.
I'll definitely do it if it's necessary to rise.
And so should you.
Be *angry*.
I give you the permission to rise.
Be angry.
Get the shit you want to get.
Rise above them.
And take whatever you want *because* you deserve it.
Whenever you see someone who's got something you want and *can't* afford it yet, remember this article.
Remember you are going to surpass them, and by far.
Not that it matters to tell them.
Because they'll get it punched in their face when you'll come back with your red Ferrari blasting music in their hears.
And they'll be crying.
Begging you for attention, asking you where you learned all this shit and how you got *motivated*.
But you aren't.
You are angry.
Hungry for more.
It will never stop.
You'll tell them, go get it…
No one will understand.
Because you rose being angry while they try to get *motivated*.
Now get your shit together. Join us on the mailing army and get pure angry power in your inbox.

A heads up for a very worthwhile race this September at the Descend Bike Park, Hamsterley Forest.
The weekend of the 29th/30th of September 2012 will play host to a charity race organised to raise funds for the UK charity Help for Heroes (H4H). The charity supports injured and seriously wounded soldiers who have been fighting on the battlefields to help keep our world a better place. So, to show our appreciation we are organising a Downhill and 4X race weekend at Hamsterley Forest.
To enter please visit one of our proud sponsors by going to www.cycletyre.com/help-heroes-race
All racing categories can be found on the website and when entering your date of birth the category you race in will be determined.
All you need to do is select 'open' unless you are an expert rider but this is all explained on the website.
Elite riders get a free entry into the DH, just email [email protected] and your details and name will be added to the entries page. There is only 25 places to be had and everyone is to pay for a 4X place with 60 available.
Racing format is as follows:
Downhill Schedule
• The venue will be open to all people who are camping over
• No riding the track
• Course walks are permitted
• Sign on 08:30 until 10:30 in the race village for downhill riders only
• Downhill practice is on the Saturday and all riders must complete a minimum of 2 practice runs
• Uplifts will be running from 0900-1600
• Uplifts from 08:30 to 10:30 – Racing starts at 11:00
• Race category order will be displayed during Saturday at the sign-on tent

Rippers Race
There is an under 12's ripper race for all riders aged 10-12 years old. They will have their own separate race track marked out in the top section of the woods to ensure they have fun and do not end up under the adult riders wheels.
This will be a mixed category race of both boys and girls.
To enter for the whole weekend there will be a £10 fee on the Saturday morning at sign-on and riders will have all day to practice, again a minimum of 2 runs is required. There will be no uplift provided as its only a small push to the top from the finish area. Riders can enter on the Sunday morning – the entry fee is £10 – and they will not begin racing until around midday so still plenty of time to practice.
All rippers must be accompanied trackside by a parent.
4X Schedule
• 4X sign on 08:30 at the main cabin in the car park at the top (only 4X riders are to park here unless you are racing both the DH and 4X)

• Racing starts at 15:00 on Saturday
All heats will be decided by riders pulling names out of a hat during the day to build up the racing heats to keep it fair.

There will be trophies for the top 3 in each category along with an extra prize donated by our prize sponsors.
Juvenile \ Youth
Winners from male and female categories will win a coaching day with Rob Jarman at Hamsterley on a date to suit all parties with 2 random riders being selected over the weekend to make up the group of 6.
Riders will win a custom designed limited edition Help For Heroes champion race top from RSD Sports.
Seniors \ Masters \ Veterans
Will receive a prize from the sponsors along with a trophy.
Expert \ Elite
Winners will receive a £100 red letter day voucher as will the elite winner, the rest of the podium will receive other prizes.
Prize for the fastest rider on a hardtail.
Riders will also be picked at random and awarded a prize just to say thanks for coming.
Course Description
The tracks at Hamsterley are classed as some of the best and most fun in the country. The top section is fast flowing with berms, drops, rock sections and a nice table top jump. Head into the middle section with a road gap before you begin the descent on the lower sections of the course. The lower sections are steep and technical with plenty of exposed roots to catch you out. The chosen track is a one-off for this event but links up many familiar sections whilst trying remove any local advantage.
The track offers ample spectator spots and plenty of opportunities for filming and photos. In addition, there will be several professional photographers taking pictures all weekend.
The 4X course is one of the longest in the UK offering lots of variation in jumps, berms and line choices throughout. This is open all year round with regular maintenance and is available to practice before the race weekend.
Race Village and Event Details
Retail Stands
Bikanic Sam Poxon will be of service at the middle cabin to sell spare parts and provide repairs.

Please Don't Execute Scott Rush sign now
Dear President Yudhoyono,
There is a distinct possibility that Scott Rush will be sentenced to death. I am mounting this petition to be presented to you, should that verdict be handed down.
Anyone who has "adult" children can probably relate to the latest research that indicates the human brain does not reach maturity until its owner is well into their twenties. Current research also indicates it could be as late as thirty.
Scott Rush was nineteen when he became caught up in a drug trafficking ring. His history already indicates a lack of maturity and Scott claims being unduly influenced by threat of death. Was Scott thinking with a mature, rational, adult mind when he decided to allow over a kilo of heroin to be strapped to his legs and took a plane to Indonesia?
Does Scott's family condone what he has done? Were it not for their efforts to prevent Scott from taking this perilous journey it's highly unlikely he would have been caught. If Scott is to be executed, it is they foremost, and all those who love him, who will pay dearly for his mistake for the rest of their lives. Scott will no longer have comprehension but they who had no control over his actions must endure the pain of his passing until the day they die.
The death penalty obviously does not act as a deterrent to drug smuggling. If it did, no one would smuggle drugs and the drug trade would not keep flowing. Scott's death can be of no value to anyone, not even those who would take his life. He will be quickly forgotten by all but those close to him, as will the message behind his death. And no one ever thinks it will happen to them! Only when it happens does the reality sink in and the lesson is learned.
The flip side of Australia's "liberal" laws is that many of our troubled youth, particularly from apparently more "privileged" homes, don't get the support and guidance they need when they become involved with the court system. Not only is it unlikely that Scott was offered constructive support and guidance to move on with his life in a positive and meaningful way, he was betrayed by those sworn to protect him. Not only did they not protect him, they threw him into the fires of hell.
What Scott did was wrong. While he must atone for his wrongdoing he can't do that dead and buried. The only way anything positive can come from Scott's experience is for him to live so he and his may pass on the lessons they will all have so painfully learned.
The purpose of this petition is not to comment on Indonesia's drug policies or to denigrate Indonesia's drug laws. The only purpose of this petition is to save Scott Rush's life.
We, the undersigned, respectfully plead that Scott Rush's life be spared, so his life may be a constant reminder of the repercussions of his actions.

32: Combatting False Marketing with Real Experience with Ron Carucci
Ron Carucci has over 30 years experience as a leadership coach, helping some of the most influential companies solve organizational development challenges. Now Ron faces his own challenge of how to make himself stand out from the myriads of other leadership coaches out there, who claim to be the exact same thing, but lack the experience and skills that Ron has. In this episode we discuss how to solve that challenge and how to market yourself to the right clients. We also discuss some of the best ways to transition from being an employee, to going out on your own, and how to pick up the skills, knowledge, network and clients that every entrepreneur needs to be successful.
My Guest: Ron Carucci
Ron Carucci is co-founder and managing partner at Navalent, working with CEOs and executives pursuing transformational change for their organizations, leaders, and industries. He has a thirty-year track record helping some of the world's most influential executives tackle challenges of strategy, organization and leadership. From start-ups to Fortune 10's, turn-arounds to new markets and strategies, overhauling leadership and culture to re-designing for growth, he has worked in more than 25 countries on 4 continents. In addition to being a regular contributor to HBR and Forbes, Ron has been featured in Fortune, CEO Magazine, Business Insider, MSNBC, Inc, Business Week and Smart Business.
Pivotal Moments:
Started his career inside the HR and organizational development departments of huge corporations such as Pepsi Co, ADP and New York Power.
Learnt the hard way that large corporations don't want to hear the truth.
Realized that if he was going to live out his passion of organizational development, he would have to be working outside of an organization.
Tried to go alone as a leadership coach, trying out his services on a previous employer but saw that he was not ready to make the transition.
Got a job in a small boutique firm where he worked for a blissful 8 years and gained lots of experience with exposure to great clients.
When the firm was sold to a large corporate organization, the job changed from digging into organizations to being responsible for financial metrics.
Left the firm together with a few colleagues to create Navalent, their own boutique firm.
Hit a personal crisis three years ago where he was doing everything right but still not finding new clients.
Hired a coach who clued him in that you can't write blogs and expect people to find you.
Has begun working muscles that have been out of use for a while to redefine his brand and sharpen his marketing efforts.
The Advice:
In order to pick up the skills and knowledge necessary to run a business, first work inside a well-run company, then go out on your own. This will show you what it means to organize, strategize, choose customers and to keep track of money before you have to do it yourself.
If you are thinking of leaving your job to go out on your own, a great way to start is to try out your services on your previous employer before forking out big money to open a website and establish an official company.
Spend a year setting up your transition, such as what you are going to sell, how you will sell it and where you will find your customers. The web is full of stories of impulsive entreprenuers who made it big, but usually, these people just make more noise than those who spent time planning their transition. Beginnings that are slow and thought out are usually more successful than those who are impulsive.
Nobody is a solopreneur because nobody does everything on their own. Everyone has someone to help them, be it a coach, website developer or other affiliates. To be successful, you need to realize that you are running an organization and manage your business professionally.
When hiring an outside pair of eyes, make sure that they have the knowledge and expertise to see the whole picture of your business, not just in their small niche.
The Struggle:
Ron struggles with making his business stand out from the myriads of amateur leadership coaches who don't have the skills and experience that Ron has. These people market themselves in exactly the same way, but their service doesn't compare to Ron's thirty years of experience and robust skill set. How does Ron beef up his marketing and make himself stand out as the expert he really is?
The Breakthrough:
Ron hired a coach to help him take a step back and work on his business instead of just working inside it. When choosing which promotional strategies to use to attract new clients, Ron can see how he chose his business coach, and copy those same strategies to attract others to him (assuming that he is looking to attract the same audience). For example, Ron stalked his business coach on LinkedIn a little and she then reached out to him with an offer to help. Ron could copy that strategy and reach out to those who engage with him on LinkedIn.

I think I'm back
Wow, it's been ages since I disappeared off-line. Nearly a month! And no, I've not been without a laptop that entire time but it has taken some time to get things up and working again. Not that we're there entirely yet either. 😦 Continue reading
Tomatoes, coconut flour, sauerkraut and foraged bounty
The tomatoes are done! The big order is bottled and safely away. The pantry is groaning.
Self preservation. Oh and peaches and other fruits and veggies too.
It's harvest time. Well, it's harvest time for most other people. My own meager harvest is battling against the risk of early frost which is no immediate risk with 9 days straight in the high 20's or low 30's and more heat to come. But the farmers around us are in harvest mode and our co-op is in hardcore produce mode too. Yesterday saw me picking up 60 cobs of corn (ok, so I left 30 at my friends house which they kindly dropped off at a half way point at 9 this morning), 6 cauliflowers, 10kgs of white nectarines, 10kgs of peaches and 2 kgs of blueberries. Their house looked like a very selective fruit sellers and smelled amazing too as they were bottling peaches when I arrived. My house now smells the same. Yum.
Hence, insanity struck last night. With a glut of beans offered to me for sale I topped and tailed then chopped up several bunches of beans, blanched and froze them, then 6 cauliflowers received the same treatment after being carefully de-caterpillared *shudder*. I fell into bed sometime not long after 11. This morning I woke at ridiculous o'clock (sorry Fran but 3:35 is an insane time to wake and 3:55 is no improvement for a get up and dressed time either. After some 'sit like a vegetable, read emails and wake up a bit' time I got stuck into peeling the corn. Again I discovered caterpillars. Bleuch! Once they were done I hit the peaches with a peeler before the arrival of one small and very talkative daughter came out and joined me. Yes, she takes after her mother. 😉 I had time to start filling jars before the inevitable "I'm hungry" breakfast gong sounded, by which time I had been joined by an ever so slightly less talkative elder son so I retrieved the quietest family member from his cot, fed them, filled the Fowlers Vacola with peaches and got it running, jammed the kids in the car and off we went for my meeting for the corn. We had finished and were on our way home again by 9am. A short visit to the Ballan Farmers market for a few supplies and then back home again. I'm exhausted and it's just gone 10am!
Tis the season though when fruits and vegetables reach ripeness. The time when preserving must be done to capture that peak nutrition and peak colour. Over ripe fruits don't bottle as well and won't last as long and underripe ones lack taste and in the instance of fruits, sweetness. I like to bottle in water rather than syrup as my kids all react poorly to sugar and we are a 99% sugar free house. We do use rapadura (or jaggery as it's also known) which is dried sugarcane juice but it hasn't been spun to change its shape, hasn't had the molasses and mineral salts removed (the good stuff) and it hasn't been bleached either. It looks a lot like brown sugar but brown sugar is just white sugar with molasses added back in. Rapadura has an amazing deep caramel flavour and is a little more textured but I don't like the syrup it makes for bottling. It's not as aesthetically pleasing and it has left a sediment in some of my jars. So, I bottle in water when and wherever possible which means I really want that peak sweetness.
So, I think it's time I shared a "how to" on bottling. I highly recommend reading other blogs and also official web pages or the Fowlers Vacola books before embarking on your bottling adventure. The more knowledge you have the better you can judge what to do.
So, how to bottle peaches.
First things first, check your equipment. I often fail to do this and run short on rings or lids. It can be very difficult to bolt out to grab supplies in the middle of bottling and nigh on impossible with 3 young kids so do as I say, not as I do. 😉 This time around I've just bought a whole lot more lids, rings and bottles (mostly 2nd hand) so I knew I had the supplies I needed. The jars need to be clean and sterile so you can either boil them (you would need to look up the times for that), put them in the oven (again, you'd need to check what temperature and for how long or, as I did this morning at 4:30 am, load them in the dishwasher and run them through at the highest temperature possible. Our dishwasher has an intensive run (65C) to which I added the sanitise option. Leave them in the dishwasher with the door closed whilst you prepare your fruit.
Take your peaches, peel if you prefer. I have left the skins on most of mine but these peaches are just on the edge of being nice and ripe and hence they're still quite firm. I'm able to peel them with a potato peeler, rather than cutting a cross in the end, blanching in boiling water for 30-60 seconds then plunging into icy water for the same time. The skins will usually come off although I rarely bother going to that effort. In this case though the peeler is working a treat and I can read blogs or watch a movie whilst I peel. Multitasking at its best. 😉 Once your peach is peeled, cut it in half and remove the pit or stone. You can bottle them as peach halves, peach quarters or peach slices. It's totally up to you and dependent on how you use them. I'm slicing this time as I have apricot halves and nectarine quarters. And I felt like it this morning anyway. 🙂
If I remember I put the rings in warm water to soak before I start slicing peaches and the lids need to be sterilised too. I usually just fill a bowl with boiling water and plonk them in that. Just remember that the water IS boiling though when you go to get a lid out. Yes, I've done that many times before, this morning included. I find it easiest to put the rings around the bottles before filling them but afterwards is fine too. Make sure there are no twists in your rings. I gently flick them down with my thumb if they're twisted when they go on.
Fill your jars.
Once they're full to a bit under the rim – about 1-2cm from memory (yeah, I make these things up as I go along which is why I'm an unreliable (at best) "how to" person. Do NOT rely just on my instructions, please!) then fill them with boiling water or your syrup. If you're using syrup you need to prepare it before the slicing part too. once your bottles are filled, put on the sterile lid (without burning yourself on the sterilised lids, their water or the now boiling hot jars of syrup/water and peaches) then put on the clip. Fowlers Vacola lids will not stay on the jar until after processing without the clip. They're not screw on or press down, that's the job of the clip. Make sure it's properly in place then put your jars in the water bath unit. Once it's full (don't cram your jars in, make sure they have a little wriggle room) then put in some cold water. Watch that you don't overfill it and end up with water either pouring or boiling out of the thermometre hole. Turn on your heat, lid on your unit and take a break or prepare more jars. The temperature needs to reach 100C and stay there for an hour. Once it's done, turn off the heat and in best case scenario, let it rest and cool in there. If not, remove the bottles carefully. There are specific tongs you can get but I hate them. I've heard that the Ball mason jar lifters are better to use but I've not tried them. If I'm really struggling with using the tongs I grab my washing up gloves and work using them and the tongs. Do NOT lift the bottles by the clips or lid as it can damage the seal. Also, do NOT put your still hot jars on a cold bench, board or anything. I put a tea-towel, folded once down first. Even if they're cool, it's prudent.
Once your bottle have sat, undisturbed and not touching each other for 24-48 hours (I leave them 48 as that's how long it usually takes me to get back to them) you can slide the clips off. Lift your bottle by the lid with your other hand ready to catch and see if the seal is set. If the lid comes off, pop it in the fridge for immediate use. If not, you've just bottled your first peaches. 😀
Nectarines, pears, plums, apricots and any other stone fruit I have forgotten is no different. You may need to peel or core but there is no difference in the bottling. Tomatoes require a little more as many modern tomato varieties are low acid and hence need a little extra acidic help so add some lemon juice or vinegar. Again, please google this or check out bottling books for amounts as it differs per bottle size. And the final disclaimer, do NOT bottle vegetables. Veggies, like beans and corn etc don't contain sufficient acid to preserve them safely. If you have a pressure canner (not a pressure cooker) then you can safely preserve vegetables in bottles (the Fowlers Vacola bottles work with pressure canning too) but otherwise, please stick to blanching or dehydrating. I have a pressure canner so the chick peas, soups, meat stocks and vegetables that I put into bottles are all pressure canned and hence, safe. Botulism is not something you want to run risks with.
Well, as I finish typing this (after breaks to deal with the kids, feed and water the chooks and grab a bite to eat) the first round of peaches are ready. I will let them cool for a bit whilst I finish peeling these peaches and then it's on to round 2.
The mad scramble for lids, a hot day and procrastinating.
Let it be known… I am not the best at making decisions that bring together ALL the elements. Not my strongest area, not even remotely close to it actually. I'm not very good at planning things at all. I'm better at coming up with harebrained schemes or dreaming about things for ages but putting things into action with forethought and direction? Naaaa.
I decided Monday that I wanted to pressure can some chick peas. I stuck them in my stock pot to soak as I am following the instructions from this blog and they soaked overnight. Yesterday morning I remembered that the forecast top temperature was 32C. Probably a little warm to have the stove on all day but not much I could do by then. I've ended up with 11 of the size #20 Fowlers Vacola jars (about 11 pints – the #20's are pretty close to a pint and close enough for working out pressure and time 🙂 ) but of course, whilst I'm filling up and putting on lids I discover that I'm 3 lids short. I'm just sooooo good at planning ahead. 😦 A mad scramble finds me 3 jars of which I can pilfer the lids and we're good to go. Then I discover that the canner fits 9 jars, not all 11 so the remaining 2 are waiting to be pressure canned along with the 5 #31's of pumpkin soup ingredients (the #31's are 900ml and I pressure can them as quarts – again it's close enough. Please note, NEVER puree the pumpkin soup before canning. It's too thick to can safely, yet as partially cooked ingredients it is safe. 🙂 ) I've followed my own pumpkin soup recipe but the canning information is here and also in my canner instruction manual. 🙂 At least I had the lids and rings and clips all ready for the #31's. 🙂
So I now have 5 jars of pumpkin soup ingredients and 11 jars of chickpeas all cooling and settling and ready to go as convenience foods which I know all the ingredients. It's exciting. 🙂
Chickpeas MUST be pressure canned. A Fowlers Vacola won't process them at a high enough temperature to make them safe to eat as they are a low acid food. PLEASE be vigilant with this if you want to process your own foods. 🙂
Now, if I am to be perfectly honest, I had no absolute need to can those chickpeas. They've been sitting snug and dry in their jars for several months and will happily sit there snug and dry for probably a lot more than several months more but the real reasons I wanted to can them was because I am having a ball canning things and I love seeing all the jars lined up nice and neatly in my pantry. I also love the convenience of grabbing a can from the cupboard and hey presto, dinner is served but as many cans are lined with plastic containing BPA and I have no idea just how many or which brands (this article states it's as high as 92% of cans) I made the choice to avoid canned food as much as possible. Yes, that means my kids have not had the pleasure of canned spaghetti nor of baked beans very often (although they did the other night) but once I get some navy beans and tomatoes I can make my own tomato sauce (tomatoes have been ordered) and then my own baked beans. I can't wait!
MUST get more lids and rings before then though. AND more jars. 😀
A death in the house and bottling more apricots.
We have our first death in the household since moving here. One of our 4-5 week old chicks, named John after our builder who first saw he wasn't well, died last night. I got home about 10pm from bottling (more on that in a minute), got the kids into bed (I don't normally kep them up that late but Martin was in Spotswood packing up the old house and we had been working hard until then so it was a needs must situation) then I finally got the chance to bring in our chicks. They're around 5 weeks of age which means they're nearly ready for life in the big pen but in the meantime they're being slowly acclimatised by being taken out each morning and brought back in every evening. They're enclosed in our old chook house, a small kit build one a friend gave me about 2 years ago which is plenty big enough for now 8 small chicks and it gives them time to get used to the other hens and roosters, and them to the smaller chicks too, before they're in the pen proper. Well, when I brought them in last night John was a pretty miserable bundle of feathers. He was cold and stiff and I was convinced he was gone. Given how sick he's been and that he hasn't grown in a couple of weeks I had been fully expecting it and, if I'm brutally honest with myself (and you too of course) I was grateful too. A sick chick IS a lot of extra work AND he would have been so very miserable. Well, as I picked up this cold stiff little bundle of feathers he drew in a very sick gaspy little breath. Unbelievably he was still alive. I bedded the chicks down inside and said farewells to John (I am a sentimental fool I know), knowing full well he would not be with us in the morning. He was not. Orik couldn't care less of course and Allegra just took it in her stride. It was just another piece of information to her as she's still a bit young to really comprehend what had happened but Jasper is fully aware of what had happened and was most upset he couldn't pat John again and couldn't see him again and so on. We had a pat and said goodbye, both of us with streaming tears and John is currently sitting on top of Ignisa our wood heater, in a small tin awaiting Daddy to come home to perform a funeral. It seems kind of silly to hold a funeral for a 5 week old chick but I think it's probably a necessary thing for Jasper to complete the hard little life lesson he's just learned. He knows about death but it's never been such real and tangible thing, only ever an abstract concept gained from his Granddad having passed years before he was born.
In other more positive news, yesterday was spent up to the eyeballs in apricots, finished off with super sweet white nectarines. I headed over to Phoenix Park, a great caravan park with cabins and a most marvelous hall where we set up the pressure canner, Fowlers Vacola water bath, dozens of jars, bowls and between us, 30kgs of apricots and 5kgs of white nectarines, all organic and absolutely delicious. We had freshly made Vegemite and cheese scrolls and brown rice mushroom risotto for lunch, then got stuck into halving our apricots. I had decided to halve them and if the halves were complete and whole I would bottle them but if they were blemished or bruised etc, then the apricot minus the blemished part would be turned into apricot nectar for drinking. I bottled 16 of the #27 jars of apricots in water and 4 of the #36 jars and a #20 of nectar but sadly I forgot the golden rule and I unloaded hot jars onto a cold bench (in my defense I had only made it to bet at 1:15 the night before with a 5am wake up and I was pretty much exhausted when I was unloading the jars) so I've broken 2 of my #36's and I have a 3rd of questionable condition as it's leaked over 1/2 of its contents. It's made me stop and think about several aspects of bottling juice but I've not given up yet. It sounds crazy, even to me, but it took us 11 hours to bottle 16 jars of apricots in water, 8 in light syrup, 7 bottles (I think) of nectarines and 6 or 7 bottles of apricot nectar as well as processing 30kgs of apricots and 5kgs of nectarines but we also had my 3 monkeys and a 9 month old in the mix! Not a bad achievement in my books.
So, here are the photos I promised from yesterday.
This morning was a very slow start after the late night we'd had. Orik slept until 7:30 (although he came in for milk at some ungodly hour of the night before dawn), Allegra after 8 and Jasper slept until almost 9. I think he would happily have stayed in bed longer except for his sister being insistent he get up accompanied by a grumbly tummy. As we broke our fast at around 9:30 10 I went out to take the chicks outside and was greeted by a couple of visitors I hadn't expected to see. I knew we had kookaburras around as one had been visiting and eating the resident skinks from my potato beds and compost heap and then had returned that evening with a friend whereupon they'd caught the mouse Minnie had rejected the day before and another skink or 2. Given their predilection for snakes and other reptilia they are so very welcome. 😀 In fact we will be encouraging them to come visiting.
The fellow on the trampoline flew off a little so I followed after him and was blessed to be able to stand about 3 metres away from him. They really do have the most amazing glossy hard black eyes. Predatory, without being cruel if that makes sense. Sadly I didn't get laughed at (never thought I'd say THAT in my life) but I was snickered at, a slow craaaak… craaaak… craaaak… but not the full-throated belly laugh. Is there any other bird in the world with such a distinctive and joyful call I wonder? It is simply marvelous to hear them chortling and chucking away in the trees across the creek and it never fails to make me smile. 🙂 If you have never heard a kookaburra's laugh, check out this link. Well, Mr Kookaburra was warmly welcomed and most cordially invited to drop in whenever he fancies and no need to call first. In fact he was told he's welcome to make himself at home whether or not we are at home BUT he was warned off the baby chicks (not that he can get to them at the moment anyway but still). What a wonderful cheer me up after John's discovery this morning. I just wish my photos were better but with limited zoom and an iPhone only and being a less than average photographer… Oh well.
And finally, I put my kids down for naps this morning as I could see they were cranky from too little sleep and although I know they're not very eco at all (we're getting back into cloth again but we have been using sposies just whilst we got settled 😦 ), Allegra who is just toilet training went back into a nappy for her nap. Jasper was being helpful and went to fetch it for me…
Moving to the country, gonna eat a lot of apricots!
I love the song Peaches by Presidents of the United States of America. It came out whilst I was in year 11 or 12 – mid 90's for anyone who has no idea of how old I am or when I went to school. 😉 (34 in case you're wondering and graduated 1996 😛 ) And since we've moved to the country AND it's stone fruit season I find myself humming or badly singing that line. This time however I will be eating a lot of apricots. And by a lot I mean a LOT! I have 30kgs of those sweet smelling pink and yellow balls of goodness. 30kgs of organic apricots! Nom! Oh, and I have 5kgs of organic white nectarines that are so divinely sweet they're nearly confectionery (of the healthiest kind) and 5kgs of organic plums that will be ripe in a few days. I will get to sing Peaches about peaches though, just later in the season.
Now if we tried to eat 30kgs of apricots, even between the 5 of us, we would end up with rotting fruit and king sized tummy aches but the plan is to bottle them in my Fowlers Vacola. I've got 11 of my #27's loaded in and they've just finished processing so I'm leaving them there to cool until the morning and there's a #20 with pureed apricots in it for apricot nectar. I've also got a #36, which holds around 1.3 or more litres in the fridge as there wasn't room to fit it in this round. Sadly, the weather today has been a wee bit hot (my car registered 43C as outside temperature although I think it was probably closer to 39C) so I'm not doing myself any favours by bottling tonight. However, since the fruit is perfectly ripe today it needs to be done. I just wish the cool change would hurry the heck up! 😦
I'm no expert on bottling and I'm pretty new to the whole gig – only my 2nd season bottling so if you want to know how to do it I suggest you ask Dr Google or consult a book. Fowlers Vacola have a book that's written for their system, of which I have a pretty old version thereof and they only difference between the old and new is stovetop or electric system and some of the food fashion has changed but essentially it's the same.
I sat there this evening, thumb in bum and mind in neutral as a dear friend says, knife in hand, slice the apricot down the line, peel it open, pit out and apricot halves into a bowl. Where there was bruised fruit I discarded the damaged bit (my birds are going to get a feast) and the incomplete half went into Hermy the Thermy for nectar. Apricot nectar is just pureed fruit, skins and all bottled and then at a later date it's watered down 1:1 and sweetened to taste. Nommy! I anticipate having around 4 litres of bottled nectar which means 8 litres of juice for us to drink. A splash of summer for us to enjoy when stone fruit is just a memory. The apricot halves will be turned into puddings or served with custard for dessert. The process of bottling though was wonderfully mind numbing. Just what I've needed. It's a perfect job to do with friends to have a natter at the same time or like I did this evening, just to completely veg out but usefully. lol
Anyway, looks like I might end up with over 30 jars of apricot halves if I don't decide to dehydrate some – think I will – and then those several litres of juice. How good is that!
Well time for bed (it's 1am) as I've got a wonderful day of bottling planned tomorrow with a friend. It's going to be heaps of fun! My jars are packed, Hermy is packed and the ingredients for vegemite scrolls and risotto are packed and ready for lunch too. Just need to grab the apricots in the morning, load kids and kit into the car and off we go! 😀
I'll post some photos tomorrow.

Mayor proclaims Community Development Week on Kaua'i
LĪHU'E, HI – April 09, 2009 – (RealEstateRama) — Mayor Bernard Carvalho, Jr. has proclaimed April 12 to 18 to be Community Development Week on Kaua'i as part of the annual national celebration of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program.
"This year marks the 34th year that the county has administered the CDBG program," said the mayor. "We are pleased that the program continues to provide us with the opportunity to collaborate with a number of community groups on projects that benefit low- to moderate-income communities on Kaua'i."
He noted that the County Council passed a resolution today recognizing the significance of the CDBG program and the hard work of all the community partners that has helped many Kaua'i residents.
In the coming federal fiscal year, county officials expect to receive $793,056 in CDBG funds to support community development activities such as low-interest homebuyer loans, public facilities and improvements, rehabilitation of houses and historical structures, and public services.
Six projects, selected for CDBG funding by the mayor and approved by the County Council, will begin shortly after the funds are released in July including:
– $128,819, Kaua'i County Housing Agency, to finance low-cost mortgage loans for low-to-moderate, first-time homebuyers.
– $49,000, Hawaiian Community Assets, to provide homebuyer education and counseling for low- to moderate income residents to help them become homeowners, and assist existing homeowners with foreclosure prevention and loan modification services.
– $81,270, Kaua'i Fire Department, to purchase an emergency response vehicle for the future Keālia Fire Station.
– $325,000, Kaua'i Habitat for Humanity, to build an offsite sewer line.
– $20,356, Child & Family Services, to provide outreach, needs assessment, and money management education classes for 50 low- to moderate-income households at Nana's House and Hale Ho'omalu.
– $30,000, Women in Need, to provide case management services that promote self-sufficiency for 15 families in Women in Need's transitional housing program.
The CDBG program provides funding to more than 3,000 small and 1,100 large and medium-sized communities across the country to address a wide range of unique community development needs.
The main objective of the program is to provide decent, safe and sanitary housing and economic opportunities primarily for low- to moderate-income residents.
Funding for the CDBG program is made possible through appropriations from Congress.
The program is administered nationally by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and locally by the Kaua'i County Housing Agency.
For more information, please contact Jo Shimamoto, CDBG coordinator, at 241-4428.

- I would recommend this business
I requested quotes for a tune up and additional repairs to multiple places, but Friedman gave the most knowledgeable response so I decided to go with them. I'm glad I did! Customer service was great and they even gave me a car to use while it was in the shop! That was so helpful!! I will always take my cars there from now on. Very happy with their work!

Customer Testimonials
As a business in Willoughby, our company uses Friedman Auto for all of our vehicle needs. The work is done promptly and professionally. The staff is wonderful to work with, always courteous and knowledgeable. Friedman Auto would be our choice to recommend for any and all vehicle repairs and maintenance.
Had multiple electrical issues to be taken care of. Was referred to Dale and could not be happier with the quality of the work and how quickly it was done. Was given a loaner car and Dale had the work done the same day. He explained exactly what work was done and it cost much less than we anticipated! I would certainly go back the next time I need to have any work done on my cars.
I have been taking my vehicles here for years and have never been disappointed. Great service. Great pricing with loaner vehicles if needed. They service everything at one location, from tires, brakes and alignment to my son's transmission. I had my AC serviced last week at the last minute before a trip and waited in their showroom watching TV. Simply the BEST!
Had to get my jeep liberty in at the last minute prior to the holiday weekend. They were able to get my jeep back on the road again prior to our vacation. They also were able to find the noise on my Jeep that nobody else was able to find including the dealer. A++++ service would
I had my car in for a check engine light that wouldn't go off. They were able to look at it right away for me and then explain to me exactly what the problem was. In the end they took care of me and I will definitely go back again.
Absolutely the best place to go!!! They upfront and work with you on everything!!! If I could give 100 stars I would!!!
My whole family has had nothing but great experiences with Friedman Auto. Just had Transmission and A/C service done last month on my Tahoe. Dropped it off on the way to work, they gave me a loaner and I picked it up on the way home. Another nice thing about these guys is when you take you car in they check everything, they told my parents after their oil change service that they would need brakes in the near future. No upselling just good service.
Friedman Automotive Services is the most honest Automotive Service around. Greg is very honest and upfront with you. He will not tell you something needs fixed on your vehicle if it doesn't need to be, like other service centers I have been to do. Greg had gone above and beyond helping me with an issue with my vehicle, and even made a follow up call to me asking me how everything was. I would recommend Friedman Automotive Services to anyone.
Finally, a place where you can take your car for mechanical or body work and feel confident that it's being done correctly. I've been coming here for service for many years and the experience has consistently been good. Also, the location is ideal

My Last Bite, the Register Star's dining column, publishes Thursdays at rrstar.com and go.rrstar.com. This week's feature is Noonans at Aldeen in Rockford. Click here for previous My Last Bites.
Click here for previous My Last Bites.
Name: Noonans at Aldeen
Address: 1902 Reid Farm Road, Rockford, in the clubhouse at Aldeen Golf Course
Phone: 815-282-4653, ext. 2
Web site: aldeengolfclub.com
Owner: Randy Baker, who also owns Five Forks Market in Rockford
Hours: 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays; 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sundays for brunch, but may soon start to offer full menu
Opened: April 2009
Entrée price range: $4.95 for Swedish Pancakes to $11.95 for the Grilled Salmon Lettuce Wedge Salad
Most popular items: For breakfast, a tie between Eggs Benedict ($6.95 to $8.95) and Swedish Pancakes; for lunch, Mandarin Orange Chicken Salad Wrap ($7.95) and Mediterranean Spinach Salad ($8.95), with dried figs and goat cheese.
Menu's unique item: Bacon, Avocado & Cream Cheese Omelet ($7.95)
We ate: Black & Tan Onion Rings ($4.95), which were grilled, brown and crispy, and came with a Guinness dipping sauce that had tiny pieces of caramelized onions. The sauce was sweet and tangy and tasted just as good slathered on the Bacon & Cheddar Burger ($7.95), which was served pink in the middle as ordered. The garlic-herb tortilla gave a bit of a kick to the chunky Mandarin Orange Chicken Salad Wrap. We chose potato chips the eatery seasons itself rather than french fries to accompany our meals.
"Ahh" factors: The restaurant looks out through big-glassed windows onto the neatly trimmed grass of the golf course. Flowers outside add loads of color to the view. Our server was attentive and just-right talkative.
"Hmm" moment: We couldn't taste any seasoning on the golden and crunchy potato chips.
Next time, I'll: Go for breakfast to try Murray's Eggs Benedict ($8.95), with smoked salmon, sliced tomato and hollandaise sauce.

Maurianne Adams, Phil Jackson, Rob Morra (Building Commissioner)
The Rental Bylaw Implementation Group heard a detailed report this afternoon from Building Commissioner Rob Morra on the implementation of the new Amherst rental registration and permit bylaw which went into effect January 1st
Originally it was thought the town had 1,570 rental properties that needed to comply, but after a mailing to all of them Morra reports a number of phone calls from homeowners who should not have been on the list.
After the dust cleared, about 1,300 properties remained. So far just over 1,000 have paid the $100 fee, filled out the forms and received their permits.
18 have already gone before the Zoning Board of Appeals for a parking permit or to remove a "owner occupancy" condition on their original Special Permit and another 40-50 remain in the pipeline for Zoning hearings.
But that still leaves around 250 who are not in compliance and do not seem interested in coming into compliance. Next week the town will send them a "more formal notice of violation" with a short two week time frame for coming into compliance.
If not, the Building Commissioner will issue fines which will be enforced by Eastern Hampshire District Court.
Morra reports that the 250 outliers are almost all "absentee owners" and that local well known landlords have been extremely cooperative, as has the Zoning Board of Appeals with rental housing related cases.
Amherst police Chief Scott Livingtone has agreed to work with the town's Information Technology department to allow Noise and Nuisance tickets and arrests to be made available on the Amherst Rental Permitting page of the town website. Morra hopes this will happen over the summer.
Currently the database only includes building code and zoning violations. Considering the impetus for the entire permit system was the noxious influence party houses were having on neighborhoods it only makes sense to include police data.
Vince O'Connor, a 40 year Amherst rental tenant
The Committee also heard from Town Meeting member Vince O'Connor, who filed a petition article (#42) to, "suspend the operation and enforcement of the bylaw" until after a new more inclusive committee is appointed by the Moderator consisting of 8 Town Meeting members -- four of them tenants (but one has to be an undergrad student) and four homeowners (at least one a rental housing owner).
In other words a do over.
O'Connor has now amended the article to take out, "suspend the operation and enforcement" of the bylaw and the new committee of eight would simply review the current Self-Certification Checklist and make suggestions to the Town Manager, Select Board and report to Town Meeting in the Fall.
Morra and three-out-of-four members of the Rental Bylaw Implementation Bylaw Group, while remaining polite, did not seem overly impressed with Mr. O'Connor's idea.

Wednesday local Township officials had the opportunity to go to Lansing and showcase their Townships to their legislators, The Michigan Township Association (MTA) sponsored its first "Tout Your Township Day" in an effort to educate our representatives on the history and efficiency of local township government.
Alpine Township Supervisor Alex Arends was on hand and had the opportunity to talk in depth with Senator Jansen's staff about successes in Alpine Township as well as challenges facing local government. While it was hoped that both Senator Jansen and State Representative Agema would be available, both the Senate and House ended up in session in preparation for summer recess. Michael Mohoney, a staff member of Senator Jansen made himself available to discuss Township Government, learn that Alpine Township's general operating expenses are the lowest they have been in 10 years, and that several businesses have recently decided to make Alpine Township their home. Alex also attended a session with Lt. Gov Brian Calley who informed Township officials about Governor Schneider's plans for continued cuts in spending, revival of plans to have private enterprise design, build and operate a bridge connecting I-75 in Michigan to Highway 401 in Canada, and the pending overhaul of the Personal Property Tax Laws, which will most likely occur after summer recess.

I've made this pen drawing of a ice woman today. She is like an ice mountain so beautiful but so distant and cold and I can never reach her. These is the emotion I've felt so many times, her coldness and distant attitude standing between us like an ice mountain.

The ship portrayed above was built in 1878 by William Metcalf whose shipyard was located on Water Street in Damariscotta, Maine It was the last ship Metcalf would build before he died in 1879. From 1878 to 1896, the "Patrician" sailed to many ports-of-call around the world. By 1896 it was owned by an Australian company and was hauling coal from Australia to New Zealand when it foundered in a three-day gale in the Tasmin Sea. Newspaper accounts at the time indicate that entire crew was rescued by the British ship, S. S. Fifeshire. A recently discovered painting of the sinking and rescue is online.
The painting was executed in 1881 by Marie Edouard Adam, a ship portrait painter of Le Havre, France. For a short biography of the artist and examples of his paintings, see pp 131 - 136 of Michael E. Leek's, "The Art of Nautical Illustration."
The largest public collection of Adam's work can be seen at the Musée de la Marine in Paris.


text: Sergey Sirotkin believed it was "quite obvious" that he would have a second season in F1 with Williams only to lose his race seat to Robert Kubica. Sirotkin joined Williams at the start of this season but failed to shine on the big stage. In a year when the team struggled for form, the Russian driver managed just one of their seven points. As such Sirotkin was dropped in favour of the returning Kubica. He told Motorsport.com: "I would strongly hope for [a second season] and it looked like it was the case. "It looked quite obvious it would be the case for quite a while. But it's F1, it's a difficult world. "To get success there are also many, many different parameters which unfortunately most of the time aren't up to the performance of the driver or whatever." News of the 23-year-old's departure came days after his backer SMP Racing decided not to continue their relationship with Williams. He had, however, hoped it wouldn't change his situation with the team. "Last week we had a few meetings, I could understand that discussions are not going the way we want them to be. "Obviously SMP Racing wanted to be professional and didn't want to accept those things, it was a strong sign for me that's it not going to happen. "But I always hoped that probably something would change, a moment or whatever. It didn't happen."

The Seattle Mariners had no business losing to the woebegone San Diego Padres this week. Back to back games saw the Mariners lose a close game and another quite handily forcing them 8 games back of the Houston Astros for the AL West lead. Losing 2 games to a 52-83 team may begin the tolling of the bell for the M"s. They do have the Athletics coming up, however, this set of games were not a confidence builder.
Aug 28 @ San Diego L 2 – 1
As is the travesty that has been his entire career, Felix Hernandez performed well and got no help from his cohorts. The King logged 9 strikeouts over 7 innings with only 2 runs given up. The M's accrued 8 hits but managed just one measly run.
Rookie Jacob Nix made one mistake to Nelson Cruz on a solo dinger, but he would earn the win over the King who has now lost his 6th straight decision (several of which were not his fault).
Aug 29 @ San Diego L 8 – 3
Erasmo Ramierez looked overmatched as he dropped 7 runs in just 3 innings. After being run out after 3, Roenis Elias came in and performed a solid 5 innings of 1 run ball; however, the damage had already been done on two early homers by Manuel Margot and Hunter Renfroe.
The Mariners came alive in the 8th with two runs, but ultimately they left 15 runners on base, and those kind of stats will not get the job done at in the MLB.

I know in the grand scheme of the interwebs that's not a lot, but it sure sounds like a lot to me! Plus, some nice reviewers had left some nice comments, so it really brightened my day. 🙂

The story of copper and tourmaline is fascinating to me. Research indicated that copper acted as a chromophore (coloring agent) in tourmaline predated the discovery of commercial copper bearing tourmaline in Paraiba Brazil by many years. But it certainly was Paraiba that put the glory of cuprian tourmaline on the map. Paraiba produced many colors of tourmaline, but the only color that was truly valued was the cyan blue (windex) so many if not most of the Paraiba was heated to try and get that color. A lot of the heating was done to remove the reddish tone from the cyan blue and so the purples were destroyed.
I am not a heater and the collection is focused on the spectrum of natural colors, so the purples are safe with me. I have also found that copper and manganese produce in tourmaline exceptional purples, that I have not been able to find from any other chromophores. I have even found blue purples with cuprian, that fill the largest void in my color wheel of tourmaline.
Now this little tourmaline pastel violet probably does not have very much copper in it (I discovered that it contained copper by using my spectrometer). But the touch of purple gives a bit of a different hue (color) than the pink that it would be without copper. Color difference gets her a spot in the collection. She is bright, but included and weighs .70 carats.
