The Collect
Gracious Father, whose blessed Son Jesus Christ came down from heaven to be the true bread which gives life to the world: Evermore give us this bread, that he may live in us, and we in him; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
The Psalm appointed
Psalm 107:1-3, 17-22
Confitemini Domino
1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, *
and his mercy endures for ever.
2 Let all those whom the Lord has redeemed proclaim *
that he redeemed them from the hand of the foe.
3 He gathered them out of the lands; *
from the east and from the west,
from the north and from the south.
17 Some were fools and took to rebellious ways; *
they were afflicted because of their sins.
18 They abhorred all manner of food *
and drew near to death's door.
19 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, *
and he delivered them from their distress.
20 He sent forth his word and healed them *
and saved them from the grave.
21 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his mercy *
and the wonders he does for his children.
22 Let them offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving *
and tell of his acts with shouts of joy.
The First Lesson
Numbers 21:4-9
From Mount Hor the Israelites set out by the way to the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom; but the people became impatient on the way. The people spoke against God and against Moses, "Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and we detest this miserable food." Then the Lord sent poisonous serpents among the people, and they bit the people, so that many Israelites died. The people came to Moses and said, "We have sinned by speaking against the Lord and against you; pray to the Lord to take away the serpents from us." So Moses prayed for the people. And the Lord said to Moses, "Make a poisonous serpent, and set it on a pole; and everyone who is bitten shall look at it and live." So Moses made a serpent of bronze, and put it upon a pole; and whenever a serpent bit someone, that person would look at the serpent of bronze and live.
The Second Lesson
John 3:14-21
Jesus said, "Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.
"Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Those who believe in him are not condemned; but those who do not believe are condemned already, because they have not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and people loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil. For all who do evil hate the light and do not come to the light, so that their deeds may not be exposed. But those who do what is true come to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that their deeds have been done in God."
The Lesson for Evening Prayer
Ephesians 2:1-10
You were dead through the trespasses and sins in which you once lived, following the course of this world, following the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work among those who are disobedient. All of us once lived among them in the passions of our flesh, following the desires of flesh and senses, and we were by nature children of wrath, like everyone else. But God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which he loved us even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ– by grace you have been saved– and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God– not the result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are what he has made us, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand to be our way of life.

- As Seen On
My story
I woke up from a coma with brain damage, and I soon discovered that my head trauma accident actually saved my life. I was headed down the wrong path…
The day before, I fell 14 feet from the hayloft in my barn and landed head-first onto the concrete, rendering me instantly unconscious. Little did I know, this was the wake-up call I needed.
"Life doesn't happen to you, it happens for you."
Before my accident, I felt unloved, depressed, stuck, worthless and without any clear purpose in life. I was self-medicating with drugs and alcohol, and I didn't know what it meant to treat my body like a temple. I made up the story when I was very young that I would never be enough for my dad, so I outsourced my worthiness and was endlessly trying to fill an empty void. There were many nights where I'd lay awake and actually imagine myself getting seriously hurt just so I could know that the people in my life cared about me and I'd have some purpose in my life…
Careful what you ask for.
I asked the Universe for validation, and my hell-of-a-hayloft fall-induced coma got it for me. And even though my entire immediate and extended family were there – in addition to all of the friends I didn't realize I had – I finally understood that it actually wasn't their love that I needed… It was my own. I literally woke up a different person. I was looking out at the world through a brand new lens, and this was the beginning of my spiritual awakening. Through this realization of the importance of self-love, the trajectory of my entire life changed.
With my newfound awareness and strength, I was able to fully recover from brain damage, unlock my inner magic, and move powerfully forward with passion and purpose.
I transformed my pain into my purpose and set out to help others love themselves because I believe that self-love WILL heal this planet.
I first entered the transformational arena in 2006 as a certified personal trainer and life coach for celebrities like Ben Stiller, Katy Perry, Jeremy Piven, Mark Hoppus, and even three Saudi Arabian princesses! It was quite the experience. I was featured in magazines and TV shows such as Dr. Phil and The Doctors.
I was hired to get them in incredible shape. My clients had rapid and profound results in not just their bodies but in every single area of their lives. It was magical to watch, and I started to realize that I had a special gift. Everyone who worked with and around them knew that I had been the catalyst for them.
In 2011, I entered into a 4-month fully immersive, transformational training where I was able to fully realize my power and purpose on an entirely new level. That's when I officially made the pivot to going all-in on the deep transformational work that I do today.
I've been mentored by some of the best trainers in the world and have diligently studied human behavior, emotional intelligence, and energy healing to be fully embodying my life's work.
I'm committed like a maniac on a mission to inspire and empower as many women as possible to fully love themselves and tap into their magic so that they can live their best, fully-expressed lives and have it all.

- I'm a Trojan Horse (more like Trojan Unicorn) for deep, profound, and sustainable transformation.
- I'm an undercover hippie, crystal lover, medicine woman, energy healer, and light worker. You ain't seen nothin' yet!
- I can easily and gracefully manifest ANYTHING, so I'm OBSESSED with teaching women how to tap into The Universe, use their own magic wands, and attract all that they desire.

Cat-loving Montreal couple married alongside 1,100 cats
Dominic Husson and Louise Véronneau flew to California cat sanctuary for wedding
A Montreal couple flew 4,000 kilometres for a wedding every cat-lover's dreams are made of.
Dominic Husson and Louise Véronneau got married in California's largest no-cage, no-kill cat sanctuary.
Notable guests included the sanctuary's 1,100 cats.
"We are both animal lovers, and it shows she's a great person, and that's why I wanted to marry her," Husson told NBC News.
"We are sharing these same values," Véronneau told the U.S. news outlet. "These are the basics of our relation[ship] — our love for animals."
The sanctuary, Cat House on the Kings, has provided a permanent home to more than 24,000 cats and 7,000 dogs since its founding 24 years ago.
Husson and Véronneau, however, are the first couple to be married at the sanctuary.
The sanctuary's founder, Lynea Lattanzio, admitted she was nervous about the wedding at first but was reassured by how well the cats reacted to the new bride and groom.

PHCP-PVF manufacturing heavyweights RIDGID and Viega continue to collaborate on solutions aimed at helping professionals do their jobs more efficiently and cost-effectively, thus creating greater opportunities to win more business. BNP Media's Plumbing Group, which includes Plumbing & Mechanical and Supply House Times, sat down with Emerson-owned RIDGID and Viega officials earlier this year to talk about the partnership, which dates back to 1999, and what the future holds for it.
"We make premium-quality tools and Viega makes premium-quality products," RIDGID Vice President/General Manager Global Press Connection John Ruese says. "We work well together. These are two premium companies that work well together and do things the right way. There is a lot of benefit to that."
During AHR Expo in Orlando, Florida in January, RIDGID showed off its new RP 350 pistol-grip press tool, which adds yet another key component to the tool manufacturer's press tool line.
But while RIDGID and Viega continue to up the pressing game, one obstacle that remains is gaining widespread acceptance in the contractor community for the labor-saving technology.
"We still see a lot of hesitation with pressing. How much pressing do we need? What tool do I want?" Viega Vice President of Market Innovations Christian Geisthoff says. "We still need to get more people pressing. Market-share-wise on the copper side, maybe it's 30% pressing now? If you look at our MegaPress side, the market potential definitely is there."
Ruese adds: "Viega has had great success with pressing in the U.S. It's a fantastic market for that, but it still is a very small percentage of connections that are actually made using press technology. That's our go-get moving forward. How do we educate more people, convert more people and start to make it a more reliable connection method for tradesmen around the world?"
RIDGID's new RP 350 is 5% lighter and almost 3 inches shorter than its predecessor. Ideal for making connections on residential and commercial jobs, it's compatible with the full line of RIDGID jaws and rings, including: 1⁄2 – 4-inch ProPress for copper and stainless steel, 1⁄2 – 2-inch PureFlow for PEX, and 1⁄2 – 2-inch MegaPress for carbon steel.
Recent advancements with the pressing tool include the ability of end users and contracting firms to track the tool's usage. "We now have Bluetooth connectivity and apps that go along with that where you can see your cycles on the tool," RIDGID Product Manager, Tool Platforms Professional Tools Michael Provenzano says. "For a more basic model, we still want a reliable and durable tool, and make it something to where we have a solution where they can see how the tool comes back if you are sending it out on the job for the day. How much work did your guys do throughout the day as far as their connections? We can provide that data."
Geisthoff notes the RIDGID line of press tools may just be the solution that tips the scales for those pros on the fence about the technology.
"It's generations ahead of what is in the market right now as first- and second-generation tools," he says. "This is a proven platform that has worked really well for a lot of years, and again, it's RIDGID's cue to raise the bar. I think there now is an opportunity and a niche here where we can get a lot of people off the fence when it comes to pressing and then they ultimately are going to want to upgrade to these tools with more features and benefits to them."
Ruese adds another key push is educating on the long-term benefits involved in press tool investment. "I think a lot of entry-level people into pressing are still not quite sure," he says. "How much am I going to use this in my daily routine? What if I invest and I don't use it consistently throughout my day? We have tools that allow them to cut their teeth and show them that if I can press here, I can press there and then mature into a much more robust platform."
Both companies say the partnership will only continue to strengthen moving forward. "A lot of companies have partnerships," Ruese starts, "but the ones that last a long period of time are the ones that are aligned, not only in their common goals to put out a great product into the market, but in their values, and how they run their companies in terms of what they do for their employees and the industry. We feel the same values and our customers resonate with that."

Yes, we're back. After a hiatus of several years (we published continuously from 1997-2009), Gowanus's suspension from publication was more a consequence of its success than of anything else. Third World writers no longer needed venues like Gowanus as they became more and more accepted by the top journals in the First World. Many of the writers who published their first stories in Gowanus have gone on to enjoy full-fledged literary careers. We remain in touch with some of them.
We don't set much count by literary awards, but it is nevertheless notable that most years Gowanus authors were noted in the honors lists of the Million Writers Contest sponsored by StorySouth. In some of our leaner years we may indeed have only published a handful of stories and yet garnered one or more honorable mentions in that award each year, the standout being Anjana Basu's "Black Tongue," which almost won top prize that year.
The present Gowanus is a different sort of literary animal. It's primarily devoted to giving attention to neglected books, whether they are twenty or two hundred years old. Our reviewers are encouraged to be generous with their reviews of these works, to stretch out and give their subject a full treatment. There is so much to say about a book, a good book, and even more so a book that has a deep past. We'll leave the vetting of the current bestsellers to others and concentrate on books that should be read, not just current ones that are being read, deservedly or not.
We sincerely hope you endorse this new Gowanus and let us know if you do. We encourage discussion, lively discussion. We see it as a continuation of what the reviewer her/himself has written. Let the review be but the prelude, however well done it may be. And, finally, of course we hope you enjoy what you read here and are stimulated to read the books reviewed. That's what the New Gowanus is all about.
And, don't forget, all issues of the original Gowanus are still available for you to read. Just go to our archives page and click on an individual issue.

The Holler is surrounded by thousands of empty acres.
It has many oak groves, and permanent and seasonal creeks running through it.
900 of these acres are set aside as a permanent nature preserve, and many more 1000's of acres are still free from human development.
There are no hiking trails or public access, but we live adjacent to the preserve and hike it several times a week.
The Holler was first settled in the 1890's and consisted of 2,700 acres. It was a working ranch for much of its history. Crumbling fences and old ranch dirt roads remain. We hike the dirt roads, and game trails, which are everywhere.
This is the lower pasture below our house, and this is where we access the preserve.
Since people are not here, The Holler is full of wildlife and has an entirely different feel from hiking in parks that people frequent. This natural ecosystem is unique for over-developed Southern California.
We see oodles of tracks, coyotes, bobcat, cougar, raccoon, but no deer. There are no deer because there are too many predators for them to survive. There are lots of kill sites and bones scattered around, but I will spare you photos of these, even though I have them.
And of course there are hundreds of birds! Cheers to you from the still wild Holler~

Entire villages have been surrounded by flames, more than 4,000 firefighters and 30 aircraft have been deployed to extinguish more than one hundred separate fires across the mainland.
Sao Pedro do Sul was the latest town to be engulfed in flames.
"This is an unfair fight, because not only depends on us, the weather is an important factor, so the we do our best," explained Elísio Oliveira Firefighters Operational Commander in Sao Pedro do Sul. "There are more than 800 involved in operations, the goal is to put out this fire."

Three people were killed and more than 200 buildings were damaged or destroyed after wildfires broke out.
Hundreds were evacuated, some had watched their homes burn to the ground.
"We lost our house on Tuesday night," explained Vitor at a temporary shelter, "now we`re here waiting to find out if we're going to be relocated, or not."
Police believe the fires may have been deliberately started by arsonists. Several suspects have been arrested.

On 19 October 2015, the European Commission published new Guidelines on the application of Personal Protective Equipment Directive 89/686/EEC (PPE Directive).
The guidelines were prepared by the Directorate General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs of the European Commission in collaboration with the Member States and all the relevant stakeholders representing industry, standardization organizations and Notified Bodies. The main objective is to create a common interpretation and a level playing field with regards to the application of the PPE Directive.
The guidance document might constitute a very useful tool for the manufacturers in order to understand how the PPE Directive applies to their products and which steps shall be taken in order to achieve compliancy.
Background Information
The PPE Directive was published in 1989 and become fully applicable in 1995. This "New Approach" Directive regulates products intended to be worn or held by the user, in order to be protected against hazards either at home, at work or whilst engaging in leisure activities. These products play a major role in the protection of workers and the prevention of work-accidents.
Content of the New Guidelines
The guidance document gives a reasoned overview and explanation of each article of the Directive, and of relevant annexes. In particular it provides a detailed overview of the different conformity assessment routes for the CE Marking of PPE according to their category, namely:
- Category I ("simple design"):
These PPEs are included in an exhaustive list and the manufacturer can declare conformity by means of an EC declaration of conformity only;
- Category II (default category):
PPEs that are not included in the Directive positive lists are subject to an EC type-examination by a Notified Body and an EC declaration of conformity is then produced;
- Category III (so-called "complex design"):
These PPEs are also defined by an exhaustive list and are subjected to EC type-examination and to a specific Quality Assurance procedure involving a Notified Body. An EC declaration of conformity is also produced.
In addition to the above, PPE manufacturers should also be aware that, in line with the New Legislative Framework Decision, the PPE Directive is currently under revision and will be shortly replaced by a Regulation.
As your professional consultant on EU matters, Obelis will be eager to provide you with constant updates and consultancy on the revision of the PPE Directive
Should you require more details on the PPE Guidelines and PPE Legislation Revision, please contact us.

Bangalore Benefits of Immigration to Australia Are Numerous
Bangalore–officially known as Bengaluru–is the capital of the southern Indian state of Karnataka. The city is the third largest city in India, and is the center of India's fifth-largest metropolitan area. It is also the sole largest exporter of Information Technology (IT), and is more famously known as the 'silicon valley of India'.

Pandemic influenza
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) is responsible for reviewing data on pandemic influenza vaccines and antiviral medicines eligible for authorisation in the European Union (EU) via the centralised procedure. It also provides scientific and regulatory support to EU Member States in taking the necessary public health decisions during an influenza pandemic.
Pandemic influenza occurs when a new strain of influenza (flu) virus emerges that can spread easily from person to person. It is different from the normal 'seasonal' flu, because the strain is new, and because people have no protection or 'immunity' against it. Because of the lack of immunity, the virus can spread widely across the world.
The consequences of a flu pandemic can be serious, in terms of both public health and economic costs. Four pandemics have occurred since the beginning of the 20th century:
- 'Spanish influenza' in 1918;
- 'Asian influenza' in 1957;
- 'Hong Kong influenza' in 1968;
- 2009 (H1N1) pandemic in 2009-10.
There are two types of medicine used in the prevention and treatment of pandemic influenza:
- vaccines, which are one of the most effective means for preventing people contracting flu;
- antiviral medicines, which can be used either to prevent people contracting flu or to treat them once they have contracted it.
Influenza pandemics are announced officially by the World Health Organization (WHO) or the European Commission, on the basis of information on the activity of flu virus around the world.
EMA has developed a health threat management plan, which describes how it works during an emerging health threat, including an influenza pandemic. The plan allows the Agency to respond rapidly and efficiently to the challenges of an outbreak of influenza even before a pandemic is declared:
When a pandemic is declared, EMA implements level four of the plan, which indicates a public health crisis. For more information, see Public health threats.
EMA's main activities during an influenza pandemic include:
- fast-track review of data for the authorisation of pandemic influenza vaccines for use in all EU Member States;
- continuous monitoring the safety of centrally authorised pandemic influenza vaccines and antiviral medicines;
- recommending changes to the use or authorisation status of these medicines where necessary;
- liaising with European partners, including the European Commission, regulatory authorities in EU Member States, agencies such as the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), and international partners, such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and regulatory bodies of non-EU countries, to ensure timely exchange of information and coordination of activities relating to the pandemic;
- communicating relevant information about its activities to the public, healthcare professionals and the media.

First experiences with VR-Friends: Three Effects of Improving Web-Based Training.
Hermann Maurer, Wolfgang Schinagl, Andreas Holzinger, IICM, Austria
EdMedia + Innovate Learning, in Seattle, WA USA ISBN 978-1-880094-35-8 Publisher: Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education (AACE), Waynesville, NC
We present a new web-based learning software that uses three basic psychological effects: incidental learning, increased motivation and technique we call the "Tamagotchi-Effect". This software is called "VR-Friends" and represent a kind of Internet-based virtual learning-companion. With the concept outlined of a learning software implemented as a game-show, an attempt is made to make users learn without always being reminded that they are learning. Ideally users should be able to play with the game without knowing at all that they use learning software. The VR-Friends system consists of a collection of several client and server programs. According to the philosophy of client/server systems the individual programs can be distributed among several computers, thus forming an open system. The communication between the modules is realized by plain text commands that are transferred between client and server by means of the TCP/IP protocol.

"Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves" (Phillipians 2:3). "Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God" (1 Peter 2:17). "So the last will be first, and the first last" (Matthew 20:-6).
Brothers and sisters, in this life, there is always someone who is better than you in your craft. Be very careful when trying to fiercely compete against others because chances are pretty high that sooner you later you will be beaten.
Everything you do, do in humility. Honor everyone and love your neighbor. Those who claim to be great, mediocre at best they are. In this anti-intellectual world that we live in these days, it is tempting for many to think they can compete intellectually against intellectuals. Be aware of the risks…
It is like having intellectuals trying to compete physically against a physicalturist. Ok, some non-PHDs are intellectuals but not many; Some PHDs are physiculturists but not many. We all have value, that's for sure.
Humility is the answer. Live your life to God not anyone else. Stay firm in the faith… Thanks be to God! Amen.

I read several message boards devoted to the freelance writing profession. I see posts way too frequently by people sadly declaring they aren't real writers because "all" they do is content writing. It strikes a nerve with me every single time. I want to shout, "Yes, you are a real writer! Stop putting yourself down professionally! And stop putting the rest of us content writers down while you're at it!"
So what does a person have to do to qualify as a "real" writer? There are just two factors: are you real, and do you write?
Are you real?
By this I mean, are you an actual living, breathing person as opposed to a fictional character? I'm assuming you're real if you're reading this. Most fictional characters have way cooler things to do with their time than wallow around wishing they were real. On the other hand, I'm sure Snoopy would compose a thoughtfully crafted response on his typewriter explaining that even though he is a cartoon dog, he is indeed a real writer.
Do you write?
It doesn't matter what you write. Just the act of writing makes you a writer. Even if you write:
- Country songs
- hair dryer instruction manuals
- greeting cards
- blog posts
- fan fiction
- erotica
- or anything else!
It doesn't matter if your work is published or even if anyone else has ever laid eyes on it. It also doesn't matter if you're paid for it. If you write, you're a writer.
I'm a real writer and so are you.
I've noticed many misconceptions about writers who work for content services, including that it doesn't take much effort and is something only beginners should consider. This couldn't be farther from the truth. Successful content writers have a well-rounded skill set. We research and write about a wide variety of topics, filing way the random tidbits of information we learn for later use. We are asked to mimic the voice of an unknown client based on very little information and write in a way that is consistent with work produced by other writers. We are often expected to churn out articles that are factual, relevant, grammatically correct and adhere to strict style guidelines within hours of accepting an assignment.
Content isn't the only type of writing I pursue. My blog receives around a thousand visitors a day. I've had articles published in parenting magazines across the US and Canada. I write for several adoption advocacy organizations. I don't consider these outlets any more or less "real" than content writing.
I often write for many more hours in the day than I sleep and am frequently paid for my work. I'm real and I write. I'm a real writer.
Are you someone who is both real and a writer? If so, you're a real writer, too. Actually, let's drop the real. We're writers, plain and simple. Accept the title. You deserve it.

After years of successful collaboration on the TV platform, MIPS Technologies (News – Alert) and Opera have again come together, this time to extend their partnership on mobile products. Opera, the provider of Web browsers for computers, mobile phones and devices, has reportedly optimized its browser for MIPS-based Android (News – Alert) mobile devices for the first time.
MIPS and Opera will demonstrate the Opera Mobile browser running on new MIPS-Based Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich" tablets during Mobile World Congress (News – Alert) (MWC) being held Feb. 27 to March 1 in Barcelona. The demonstration will be held at Opera booth (Hall 1, booth C44).
The collaboration allows the users of Android tablet or phone running on a MIPS-Based chip to use Opera Mobile browser for surfing the Web.
"Opera provides more than just browser – the company's technology provides a window to the World Wide Web, as well as web-based services and apps. With long experience in HTML5 support, Opera offers an outstanding web experience, now available on MIPS-Based mobile devices," MIPS Vice President of Marketing Gideon Intrater noted in a statement.
The semiconductor design company MIPS Technologies is widely known for developing the MIPS architecture and a series of RISC CPU chips for digital home, networking and mobile applications.
"Opera and MIPS have collaborated on the TV platform for a long time, and now, we've decided to work together also to give people a great experience on mobile products. We invite MWC attendees to visit our booth and see the amazing result we've achieved by optimizing our browser for MIPS-based Android mobile devices for the first time," CEO of Opera Software (News – Alert) Lars Boilesen explained in a statement.

Artist Therapy Posts: Where we face the feels all artists struggle with.
We're a lucky bunch, those of us that get to make art for a living. We are living many people's dreams. Unfortunately, dream jobs are still jobs, and they still take work, and they're often just as hard and brutal day to day as any other job we might have. And unfortunately a lot of artists — myself included from time to time — get so wrapped up in how hard it is to establish and maintain a career in art that we burn ourselves out. Once that happens we have no way to recharge because while we have turned our love into our work, it's become so serious that it's no longer recharging the same way as it was when it was something we did on the side. Art used to be something that made us feel good about ourselves, feel confident, feel alive. Now it is something that is often a source of anxiety and insecurity. Art has become self-promotion, networking, deadlines, and feedback. We need a better work and play balance.
Most of us started out as children who used art for play, but once play becomes your work, it loses the lightness that is critical to play. Sometimes we look back fondly at the days when art was still a hobby and it didn't have the pressure of supporting us. That's when we know we are play-starved. It helps to remember to feel lucky and grateful that you get to pursue your dreams as a job, but we need more than that. We can't survive without play, so we need to establish it other ways. Ways that are not related to our professional art — though that will be tempting. If illustration is your career, then no, life drawing is no longer play, it is very important practice.
There's a few ways to go about finding a way to play that will act as a recharge and function as a method to refill the creative well. One is to find a hobby just like non-artists often use art. Play a sport, start a collection (no your collection of pencil sharpeners doesn't count), grow and tend a garden, establish a board game nite, study a martial art, take up archery. It sounds simple, but I can't tell you how many artists, once they've turned their hobby into their profession, forget that they still need to find a new hobby. Some way to decrease stress, wake up your curiosity, and establish a bit of community that doesn't feel like professional networking.
Another way to put aside the dire seriousness is to share it with nonprofessionals. Kids, family members, friends, elderly people in our lives are all great mutually beneficial people to share your art with. The sheer joy that kids get from art directing your drawing or having a "real" artist color with them is an instant recharge. There are also numerous volunteer programs at nursing homes and community centers that are always welcoming to artists to come share their skills. This is a good method of playing for those of us that have a hard time justifying spending any time away from art. Even drawing a monster for kids is still practicing your skills.
One thing I've found incredibly helpful in play is the idea of "combinatory play", which is a term coined by none other than Einstein himself in his book Ideas And Opinions. When Einstein was stuck on a mathematical problem or physics theory that he couldn't figure out consciously, he took a break to play his violin. It's the same concept that underlies the phenomena of getting struck by great ideas in the shower, or while driving, but supercharged. While the conscious mind is distracted our subconscious is often still mulling over a problem, and often a solution will strike us as if out of the blue. Einstein believed that having a creative hobby did the same thing as a shower or a walk, but even more productively, because you were still using your creative mind. The basic idea is that you should have a creative hobby — but one that is not related directly to the art you already make. Think of sculpting if you are a designer, or knitting if you are an illustrator. The activity has to be one that you don't judge as a professional. If your work brain is being actively engaged then it's too close to your job. This idea of combinatory play is often used as a way to break a creative block, but over long term practice it also effectively recharges your creative well, keeping you out of burnouts and blocks in the first place.
So next time you are feeling burnt, make sure you have a hobby or combinatory play activity ready for some lighthearted relief. I promise you the time spent establishing a work and play balance is not wasted.

Sheik Defense

Amnesia had left Ava uncertain of who had tried to kill her. She did know, however, that Faisal was a man she could trust. The sheik's embrace was familiar and enticing...and possibly even more dangerous. How could she succumb to feelings for her protector when what she didn't know could get them both killed?
Now for an Excerpt:
Ben wasn't sure how it had happened. But he'd gotten lucky and landed in the water. He'd just missed hitting his head on the way down. He'd seen Dan fall overboard but then he'd fallen over himself. It didn't matter, he'd planned to swim to shore anyway. He'd shot Dan first and he'd gone over a dead man. The yacht was on autopilot, its navigational system dead, heading somewhere out to sea. In other circumstances he might have laughed. It would keep the authorities occupied trying to find the boat.
There was only one threat left and that was the little witch of a daughter Dan had managed to dump in the life raft. There'd been nothing he could do to stop him. It had all happened so fast. He felt a twinge of regret. Now Dan was gone and the yacht was already too far away to be a consideration. He'd raised the anchor before the altercation began.
He swam toward shore. He'd locked in his mind in what direction and how far away they had drifted. Yet the weather system was moving in faster than had been reported. It was a squall, and that and his aching shoulder had him gulping water and struggling as the weather worsened. Combine the weather with the fact his clothes weighed him down, and it was rough going. He reached down, wrestling with the laces of his oxfords, finally managing to get them off and tie them to the belt loop of his pants. It wasn't supposed to go like this. He wished he hadn't had to kill Dan, but once he'd made the decision, he'd accomplished what he meant to. He'd shot Dan and he'd fallen overboard. Now there was only one problem he had to resolve before he became a rich man. The one fly in the ointment was Dan's daughter. She wasn't supposed to be on the yacht. Yet, there she'd been like it was her right. He hadn't liked her the first and only other time he'd met her.
She'd heard too much and she'd injured him. Neither offense could be forgiven. A wave pushed him backward and had him swallowing water. He choked and flipped onto his back, resting, thinking. He had to get to shore and then he had to find Ava Adams, and when he did, the little witch had to die.
About the Author:
The Canadian prairies are my home and while the prairie landscape is blessed with beautiful blue skies, it also has four seasons that come on full throttle – especially winter and because of that I like to travel. Often on those trips, stories are born.
In 2011 I won my city's writing award, and was the first romance writer to do so since its inception. In 2013 my romantic suspense was a semi-finalist in the Kindle Book Awards. Published in historic romance and paranormal romance as well as romantic suspense, in February 2016, my first novel was published by Harlequin Intrigue.
There's no lack of places to set a story as my imagination and the too long prairie winters may find me seeking adventure. The memories of those worlds both near and far, the words of a stranger, the furtive look one man gives another, often become the catalyst for a suspenseful story with a deadly villain and an intrepid hero and heroine who must battle for their right to love or even their right to live.
When not dreaming of other stories, I can be found scouting out a garage sale or two, dusting off my roller blades or just thinking about the next adventure that may be miles away or in my own backyard.

I need to do a bit of explaining here, if not for you, at least for myself. Ok, so here is a fondant recipe. I've been getting requests for the same since ages. Most of the time I replied back saying I havent tried it yet, may be in future. Honestly I never planned to post it also. I'm not a big fondant fan! I did try my hand at it, got some info from people who use it, but somehow it didnt seem like something that I enjoy. First of all, I dont like the taste of it, then I dont like using artificial food colourings or flavourings. In the past I've used it occasionally, but these days I try my best to avoid it.
Also whenever I see a fondant cake, I'm not able to enjoy it as a food item. I tend to admire it as an art form and want to preserve it, rather than something I can just put my hands on and eat. You got the picture right? So one way or the other, I made up excuses to keep myself away from fondant. If you are wondering whether I had any mind boggling revelation to change my opinion, nope, I didnt. Apart from me being a walking talking box of contradictions (yes, I may think I'm like Mother Theresa in one minute and the very next minute, I may feel like I'm the most selfish person in the world) this is one of the things that I did for "Love".
Yes, Love makes you do things that you'll never do otherwise. I'm not talking about Jose here, I'm talking about "YOU". I dont know how to say this without being a bit emotional or even a bit dramatic… Many a times the mails and comments you send my way, brought me tears of joy! Your confidence and belief in me overwhelms me at times and I even wonder whether I deserve it! So this is a small token of love for "YOU", from my side.
So I thought during this festive season, when Love is all around you, I'll keep aside my theories and reservations about fondant, and make it to share with you. I did pretty basic things, nothing over the top. Also I tried to use it as cupcake toppers rather than to cover a whole cake, so the taste of fondant wouldn't dominate. If you havent tried making fondant yet, you can give it a try and see for yourself whether you prefer it or not. Like Jose always reminds me, dont be afraid of trying new things, even if you fail at it miserably, you'll always learn something new from the experience :)
Though I'm not yet completely sold on the idea of fondant yet, I guess I'm ok with small doses here and there once in a while, may be like these cupcake toppers. I do agree on one thing, fondant cakes are definitely eye candy!
Btw, did you like the cupcake stand in the photo? That was gifted to me by my dear friend Sonia. Also I was introduced to fondant by Sonia's mom – Ida aunty. I troubled aunty with all sorts of questions about fondant and she patiently explained it to me. A big thank you to both of you :)
Recipe adapted from here
Please watch this video if you are making fondant for the the first time.
For Marshmallow Fondant
- 4 cups White mini marshmallow (8 oz / 225 gms)
- 4 cups Icing Sugar
- 1 tbsp Water
- 1 tbsp Vegetable Shortening / Butter
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla essence (optional)
- Place the marshmallows, water and vanilla essence (if using) in a large microwave-safe bowl, and microwave on High for 1 minute to start melting the marshmallows. Stir until the mixture is smooth. Gradually add the icing sugar, one cup at a time, until you have a sticky dough. Reserve 1 cup of powdered sugar for kneading. The dough will be very stiff.
- Rub your hands thoroughly with butter, and begin kneading the sticky dough. As you knead, the dough will become workable and pliable. Turn the dough out onto a working surface dusted with confectioners' sugar and continue kneading until the fondant is smooth and no longer sticky to the touch, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Form the fondant into a ball, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and allow to rest it for an hour or so. To use, roll it out onto a flat surface dusted with confectioners' sugar. Cut or shape as per your requirements.
- Colouring the fondant
- I used Wilton food colours. I added the colours in the end. Initially the colours will create a marbled effect. Roll out the coloured fondant several times to ensure uniform distribution of the colour.
- Once the fondant is shaped, leave it out for sometime to dry it. Once it's dried completely, you can store the shapes in an airtight container.
- Make sure you the toppers are dried completely before placing it on the cake or cupcake.

The beaches and the Pacific Ocean are what draw so many people to San Diego. And visitors need places to eat, sit and sleep.
But you have to be really careful when you build things near the coast. Nature doesn't appreciate wooden piers and five-star hotels as much as we do.
Here are three things developers need to consider before they build on the waterfront:
Beach Erosion
It turns out that sand may not be so timeless after all.
San Diego County's two littoral cells — miles of coastline, basically — have been worn down by population growth, urban sprawl and dams that have changed the way sand filters down to the beaches through the county's watersheds.
Since the end of World War II, the Oceanside cell, which runs north from La Jolla to Dana Point, has lost 55 percent of its sand. And the Silver Strand, which stretches from Point Loma to Ensenada, Mexico, has lost more than 70 percent.
This is a problem because "beaches are 'first responders' that protect our coasts from erosion when high-energy winter storms bring heavy surf," according to research from UC San Diego's Scripps Institute of Oceanography, and "sand-starved beaches cannot shield the coast from erosion."
In other words, the less sand we have, the more havoc intense storms can wreak on waterfront property.
Coastal Flooding
Regardless of what we call it, climate change is a problem that's not going away, and it's "likely to worsen many problems that coastal areas already face," according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
Like erosion. And flooding.
Scripps researchers are concerned about both.
The West Coast "caught a break" over the last few decades, but Scripps has found that new wind patterns could start driving sea levels higher this decade.
They've seen a direct connection between higher sea levels and "increases in the frequency and severity of coastal flooding." And that will pose a threat to roads, power generators and property if we don't build sea walls high or strong enough to contain the waves.
An estimated 250,000 people and $50 billion worth of property are at risk in California. Those figures could nearly double if the pattern continues.
Scripps researchers were among dozens of regional stakeholders who developed a strategy to adapt to sea level rise in San Diego.
"With so much at stake, it is critical to begin considering policy responses long before the worst impacts associated with sea level rise are projected to occur," the group wrote in a report published last year, "because developing and implementing solutions will require unprecedented collaboration with long lead times."
Among their key recommendations was to urge regulators to provide clear guidance to public agencies that issue development permits. Sea-level rise and future flood levels should be taken into account, they said.
Water Supply
When flood waters surge toward a poorly protected shore, they can compromise the supply of water — something San Diego can't afford to waste.
In their sea-level rise adaptation strategy, the working group listed a host of potential problems.
Flooding could disrupt the flow of drinkable water to residents and businesses near the coast.
"Highly vulnerable" hazardous waste sites could contaminate the water and soil if underground pumps or storage tanks were jarred loose.
And overloaded sewers in low-lying areas could spew toilet water into the bay, which could destroy "irreplaceable habits" for endangered species.

Sounds on CD
Chris Webster ("Sounds on CD") transfers vintage records and soundtracks to CD, specializing in G&S. Webster's transfers are meticulously prepared, and are generally of a far higher quality than available from budget labels like Pearl and Naxos. His transfers have been highly praised by informed reviewers, and I count myself among his happy customers.
To order, contact Webster directly by email at email@example.com.
Items on offer are listed below. Prices shown are the original U.S. prices (they may vary slightly with specials, and so forth).
G&S 1917–25 HMV Acoustic Series
|1917 HMV Mikado (VGS 211; 1 CD)
This was the first complete recording made under D'Oyly Carte supervision. It included a number of famous voices of the era, such as George Baker, Peter Dawson, Violet Essex, and Edna Thornton.
|1919 HMV Gondoliers (VGS 217; 2 CD)
This early recording has a quite complex history, with many retakes, and even a "lost" overture that was not issued with the rest of the set (but restored in this re-issue).
|1920 HMV Pirates (VGS 210; 1 CD)
This is an excellent vintage recording with particularly good performances from Peter Dawson (who makes a fine Sergeant), Violet Essex and Derek Oldham a fine pair of lovers, and George Baker a thoroughly effective Major General (arguably one of the best on record). Chris says that this is one of his personal favourite acoustic recordings.
|1920 HMV Yeomen (VGS 216; 1 CD)
This early recording featured many HMV stalwarts, with George Baker as Jack Point. The great Derek Oldham played Fairfax.
|1921 HMV Patience (VGS 201; 1 CD)
This early recording was made under D'Oyly Carte supervision, and it includes a number of famous grampohone artists of the period, such as Violet Essex, Peter Dawson, and George Baker.

This early recording includes several famous Savoyards, including Sydney Granville, Darrell Fancourt, and Frederick Hobbs.

This legendary recording featured most of the cast that appeared in the first professional revival.
|1924/5 Princess Ida (VGS 209; 1 CD)
This is one of the all time classic recordings. With the exception of the two lesser tin men, the cast was made up from current and former D'Oyly Carte performers, and each characterisation is perfection itself. This recording contains Come Mighty Must sung by the remarkable Bertha Lewis, which, 75 years later, is still the only commercial recording ever made of this song.
|Where Shall I Find Another? (VGS 225; 1 CD)
This disc contains the alternative published takes from the nine early acoustical recordings recorded under Rupert D'Oyly Carte's supervision. Note: Anyone who purchased all nine of these recordings from Chris Webster and/or James Lockwood will receive this disc for free (on payment of postage & packing). Otherwise, the price is as given in the next column.

Another of the great post-war recordings, with Martyn Green as Robin and Darrell Fancourt as Sir Roderic.

This recording coincided with Ida's return to the repertory after a very long absence. Victoria Sladen's outing in the title role is controversial, but overall the cast is first-rate.

In 1930-31, Columbia recorded four abridged G&S sets, with HMV regular George Baker using the pseudonym of George Portland, and other stars from Columbia's house stable conducted by the legendary Joe Batten. Long out of print, this reissue puts these unique recordings back in the catalogue for the first time in decades.
|1939 Mikado Film (VGS 203; 1 CD)
This item includes all the musical numbers and a considerable amount of the dialogue from the famous film, starring Martyn Green, Sydney Granville, and Kenny Baker.
|Stateside Savoyards (VGS 218; 1 CD)
This is an issue of vintage American G&S recordings, including the 1942 Victor Light Opera Company Pinafore. (Note: For copyright reasons, this item is available only from Chris Webster directly (chris at sounds-on-cd.co.uk).)
|1966 RCA Pirates with Martyn Green (VGS 249; 2 CD)
This studio recording includes Martyn Green and several other D'Oyly Carte alumni.
|1973 UMGASS Grand Duke (VGS 230; 2 CD)
This is a studio recording by the University of Michigan Gilbert & Sullivan Society, based on the group's first production of an opera that, in 1973, was rarely done. The recording has gained considerable popularity among conoisseurs and is now available for the first time on CD.
|1986 UMGASS Pirates (VGS 231; 2 CD)
Also from UMGASS, this recording captures a stage performance. It has been chosen for re-issue for the sheer energy of the live atmosphere, the talents of the performers and the musicians and also by the enormous enthusiasm of the audience.
|"A Pleasant Occupation," with Cynthia Morey (VGS 208; 1 CD) Cynthia Morey was a member of the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company from 1951 to 1957. Between writing and theatrical engagements Cynthia is a popular guest speaker, and the first part of this CD was recorded during her talk given to The Gilbert and Sullivan Society (Sussex) on Saturday 19th June 1999, in which she spoke entertainingly about her days with DC. Fans of the original Company will relish and be fascinated by the backstage stories of 1950s life in the Carte. In addition to the talk, are seven previously unpublished private recordings of Cynthia singing in 1955 accompanied by Donald Adams at the piano. Although these are not G&S items, they still serve to give us a good idea of Cynthia's lovely singing and great artistry, and will certainly cause us to regret that the Company did not make any recordings during her time as a principal soprano.
|Tête-à-Tête (VGS 248, 2 CD)
An entertaining and often hilarious one hour fifty minute conversation between the great JOHN REED and PEGGY ANN JONES, c.1975, packed with stories about life in the D'Oyly Carte on and off stage, plus some other bonus John Reed interview material. (Cover here.)
Sullivan without Gilbert
|The Contrabandista (studio) + The Chieftain (live) (VGS 204; 2 CD). These are performances from the 1980s, both with The Prince Consort
|The Beauty Stone (VGS 206; 2 CD)
This is the 1983 Prince Consort recording originally issued on a Pearl LP, but long out of print.
|The Emerald Isle (VGS 207; 2 CD)
This is the 1982 Prince Consort recording originally issued on a Pearl LP, but long out of print.
|The Tempest +
Henry VIII (VGS 212; 1 CD)
In 1955, F. Charles Adler recorded Sullivan's incidental music to The Tempest and Henry VIII with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra (playing under a pseudonym, for contractual reasons). Unicorn, the label on which it was issued, went bankrupt shortly thereafter, and this recording has been a great rarity ever since. It the only complete recording of The Tempest to date, and a superb traversal of the score at that. A 1908 recording of the Graceful Dance from Henry VIII is included as a bonus track.
Edward German
|Double Merrie England. (VMC 301; 2 CD)
There are two recordings on this set: the 1918 HMV complete recording conducted by the composer, Edward German, and the 1931 Columbia abridged recording that the composer supervised.
To order, contact Webster directly by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

New releases - Diageo Special Releases 2013 (Part 1)
The annual Special Releases programme by Diageo, Scotland's largest producer of single malt, is one of the most highly anticipated releases in the whisky calendar. This programme, which started back in 2001, is designed to showcase some of the most exceptional single malt stock from within their portfolio of 28 working distilleries, plus selected remaining stocks from closed ones. Some of these stocks have dwindled to almost critical levels. A few weeks ago they announced the line up and details for the Special Releases 2013 and they will be available from specialist retailers from early November.

New release - Bowmore 'The Devil's Casks'
The Devil's Casks is the new limited edition single malt release from Bowmore, the oldest distillery on the famous whisky island of Islay. The whisky is so named as it is believed in local legend that the devil once hid in a cask of Bowmore so as to hide from angry residents and escape to the mainland. We are not so sure about that story, but it is said that the circular church in the village of Bowmore (pictured, below) was so shaped to prevent the devil having any corners to hide in.

Distillery visit - Lagavulin
|Welcome to Lagavulin
Lagavulin has long been one of our favourite single malts. It is one of a handful of whiskies that got us interested in whisky around six years ago. The 16 years old expression is widely regarded as a classic of the smoky, peaty style and is revered the world over. Therefore we were delighted and excited when we recently received an invitation to visit the distillery and the island of Islay for the first ever time. It was an invitation that we were not going to turn down ...
