You've heard it sung up and down the Florida peninsula: "You take the Turnpike and I'll take I-75, and I'll be in Georgia Before You!" Yes, it's the Snowbird National Anthem, sung once a year as Snowbirds head from Key West and Jacksonville and Pensacola to wherever they live that gets cold in the winter, which is just about everywhere else. As a song, on long trips, it's even more popular than "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall" among senior citizens, and much safer than drinking while driving and tossing the empty bottles out the window.
For the uninformed, a "Snowbird" is a creature whose life begins at about 60, and truly starts to flourish once Medicare and Social Security kick in full blast. Then, without a care in the world other than what to buy the grandkids for the holidays – preferably something cheap but memorable that says "I love you" even if they really mean "My God, you're exhausting!" – Snowbirds are free to fly (or drive or take the Auto Train) south to north in the springtime, and north to south again in the fall.
I read online that Monarch butterflies migrate for two reasons. First, because, "They cannot withstand freezing weather in the northern and central continental climates in the winter." Well how about that! Ditto the Snowbird! Second, because "Larval food plants do not grow in their winter overwintering sites, so the spring generation must fly back north to places where the plants are plentiful," which is not applicable to the Snowbird because they don't have larva, and there are about 1600 Denny's restaurants in the 50 United States, so Snowbirds always have a wide range easy-to-chew, bland-tasting food with a 15% discount from the AARP. Therefore Snowbirds migrate back north in the summer either because they can't stand the heat, or because they don't want to pay for the air conditioning, or because the kids let them live rent-free in the basement in exchange for weekend babysitting.
Other warmer-ish states like Georgia and Texas have Snowbirds, but Florida boasts the largest Snowbird population in the world. So important are Snowbirds to the Florida economy that the State government has established The Institute for Snowbird Research, whose sole task is to investigate the migratory and dietary habits of Snowbirds to make sure they keep coming back season after season. We do not want to see declines in the Snowbird population due to devastation of their habitats – otherwise called "Over-55 Communities" – as has happened with the Monarch butterfly in stretches of the Mexican highlands. As a result, one of the first recommendations of the Institute for Snowbird Research was to build more frequent rest stops along the three principal north-south migration routes – I-95, the Florida Turnpike, and I-75 – because Snowbirds have to stop more frequently to pee.
Some Snowbirds actually do fly – Delta, Spirit, or Jet Blue. Those who fly Spirit do so at their own risk, as they are forced to tie lawn chairs to the wings due to limited in-flight seating. American and United are also flown by Snowbirds, especially those flying to remote places where nobody really wants to go anyway, such as Syracuse. Because of recent consolidation in the airline industry, however, Snowbirds with shorter migration routes – say to Tennessee or Kentucky – often drive, since it's faster than taking a flight with 4 layovers like the one I recently took from Miami to Tampa, via Fort Lauderdale, Jacksonville, Phoenix and London.
Then there's the Auto Train. Normally I would end the paragraph right there, but since I started I might as well continue. If the Auto Train doesn't derail, the trip from Sanford, Florida to Lorton, Virginia takes 17 hours and 30 fun-filled and exciting minutes punctuated by screaming babies and toilet overflows, excluding the week-and-a-half it takes to load your car on and off the thing, which is precisely how long it took me to fly from Miami to Tampa via Fort Lauderdale, Jacksonville, Phoenix and London: a week-and-a-half.
If you take the Auto Train I recommend booking a "roomette," because the in-room john is right next to the lower bunk's pillow – perfect for traveling with someone you never want to see again. The route of the Auto Train is 855 miles long, and the beauty of the Auto Train concept is that it lets you take the train instead of drive precisely over the parts of I-95 where there's virtually no traffic – from Sanford, Florida to Lorton, Virginia – and it leaves you just outside Washington, DC, which has some of the heaviest traffic in the world. A better concept would be to let you drive where there is no traffic – say, from Sanford, Florida to Lorton, Virginia – and then take the train where there's lots of traffic – say, from Washington, DC to New York and Boston – but that's not how Amtrak works.
One of the major findings of Florida's Institute for Snowbird Research is that there are two subspecies of Snowbirds: Honest, and Dishonest. The Honest Snowbirds are the ones who admit for tax purposes that they really don't live in Florida full-time, and therefore aren't eligible for a Homestead Exemption. The Dishonest Snowbirds – well, you get it, they claim a Homestead Exemption when they're not really entitled to one.
According to Mary Kiar, the Broward County Property Appraiser, "All legal Florida residents are eligible for a Homestead Exemption on their homes, condominiums, co-op apartments, and certain mobile home lots if they qualify. The Florida Constitution provides this tax-saving exemption on the first and third $25,000 of the assessed value of an owner/occupied residence," and "the basic homestead exemption saved a Broward homeowner in 2017 anywhere from $615.43 to $1,030.61 (depending upon your city's millage rate) in annual tax savings for all homes with a value of $75,000 or higher."
Well them there is Big Bucks, especially for Snowbirds living on Social Security. Let's say such a Snowbird living on Social Security buys an apartment in their natural habitat – an Over-55 Community – for $40,000. Without a Homestead Exemption the property tax would be an alarming $720; with a Homestead Exemption the property tax would be an easy to handle, might win it on the scratch-off $220, for a savings of $500: enough to book a never-ending trip for two from Sanford, Florida to Lorton, Virginia, on the Auto Train!
Sounds tempting, even for the Honest Snowbird, but beware: in 2017 Sarasota County conducted the first-ever Homestead audit in Florida, netting a whopping $8.3 million in back taxes from Homestead Exemption cheats. With results like that you can be sure other counties will be following suit quickly.
And northern states with income taxes are even more aggressive and have been known to audit Snowbirds with property in their states who claim Florida as their principal residence. Those audits can include requesting cell phone records to see where Snowbirds are physically located when making and receiving calls, as well as electric and water bills to check utility consumption, and even asking nosy neighbors, "It's 10 o'clock. Do you know where your Snowbirds are?"
Hence life as a Snowbird is not without risks, but for many the risks are outweighed by the rewards, such as not being co-opted to look after the grandchildren on their parents' Date Nights, and not having to go to bed in the winter with a ski mask on to keep warm. Done properly, Snowbirds can look forward to finishing the Snowbird National Anthem every year with those tear-jerking words, "For me and my true love will surely meet again, on the gator-ridden shores of Lake Okeechobee."

- The 7th version of the Adidas Kanadia GTX is the next iteration of a series that has provided runners with quality performance when tackling the trails. It keeps the foot protected from the hazards of the unpredictable outdoor conditions. It also makes sure that the runner stays in control over the paths with a trail-optimized external sole unit.
- The upper unit of this running shoe retains the series' high quality construction and stitching. The fabrics look like they really have been constructed to fully secure and protect the foot. Breathability is a key feature in this model, as it constantly introduces air to the interior section to keep the foot well-ventilated.
- A waterproof membrane protects the shoe and the foot from water that might invade the interior areas. It keeps the environment inside the shoe dry and free from odor-causing moisture.
- A resilient, responsive and flexible EVA foam serves as the platform on which to rest the foot. The material itself doesn't succumb to breakage or wear, therefore providing the runner with a high-quality service that lasts a long time.
- The aggressive outsole design uses a technology that allows the runner to hold onto the surface with ease and sureness. Gripping lugs handle uphill and downhill traversals. This external layer is strong and it doesn't wear off easily.
The Adidas Kanadia 7 GTX has a standard running shoe length. It follows the regular measurements for men and women. The available width is medium, so it accommodates those with medium-sized feet. The semi-curved shape of this shoe allows the natural curvature of the foot to acclimate well to it.
TRAXION™ is an outsole technology that offers high level grip on rugged and uneven terrain. Featuring gripping lugs that face different directions, this external layer gives traction on many types of surfaces. It's efficient, even when handling uphill climbs and downhill treks.
The mid-sole unit comprises of an Ethylene vinyl acetate foam that's lightweight and responsive. It is able to moderately attenuate shock and keep the foot well-supported. It doesn't easily lose structural integrity, so it is able to provide long-lasting performance to the wearer.
The upper unit uses high quality textiles to make sure that the coverage is flexible, durable and breathable. It remains agreeable to the skin and it doesn't make the foot feel as if the upper is too tight.
Synthetic overlays are placed onto the upper unit to make sure that the foot is hugged securely by the fabrics. They are connected directly to the lacing system, therefore making the fit more customizable.
Same as that with the popular road running shoe, the Duramo 9, this shoe uses a breathable mesh lining that makes sure that the interior environment of the shoe is not irritating to the skin of the wearer. The smoothness of the fabric allows the foot to enter and exit the shoe without any trouble, while the open construction allows air to keep the foot cool and dry.
The GORE-TEX® technology is a waterproof membrane that protects the shoe and the foot from being infiltrated by water. New to the Adidas Kanadia GTX 7, it makes sure that the runner stays confident, even when running under wet conditions.

H115i question
I have the CORSAIR Hydro Series, H115i RGB PLATINUM, 280mm that I am looking to put into my system. I am getting the CORSAIR Crystal Series 570X RGB Mirror Black Tempered Glass, Premium ATX Mid Tower Case.
When looking at the specs of this case, I don't see the H115i listed to fit in this case but heard it may.
Any help here or recommendations. Anything would help.
Running in my system a
Asus rog x570 crosshair viii WiFi
Ryzen 9 3900, possibly 3950 when it comes out
2 - m.2 MP600 SSD
MSI GeForce 2080 TI Gaming Trio
2x16 DDR4-3200 CL16
Corsair 1000 watt power supply
Also, I am looking at running the larger 140mm fans as well for additional cooling.
Will I need the lighting node pro as well? Does the case cone with this? Little bit confused on that
If anyone has done a build like this, any help or pics would be great.
Last edited by bsanders03; 09-01-2019 at 03:03 AM. Reason: Add more info
A 280mm radiator is going to be front mount only. The Platinum series cooler's have their own internal lighting controller for its two RGB fans. The Pro series does not and does not come with RGB fans.
Will this replaces the 3 fans in the front of the case that comes with the case or does this mount behind those 3 fans. So in a sense it would be a total of 5 fans in the front?
What size fans can those ones go up to? Just looking to maximize my cooling options.
It is possible to keep the 3 RGB fans on the front glass, mount the radiator behind them, then use the proper 140mm fans on the interior. If you search the case forums, you will find a lot of this (use 570x tag), although once the H150i Pro came around, most used the natural 360mm fit.
What is the natural 360 mm fit? Dont understand that
The front of the 460/570 is cut for 3x120mm fans. You can mount a 280mm or 140mm fans, but it is not really how the case was designed.
Sorry. I am trying to understand. Do you have a link to any videos that help explain this?
This thread started before the case was available and then moves on in the timeline.
This is a 280mm radiator mounted behind the 3x120.
I don't know how else to explain the front rail is cut for 3x120 fans. A 140mm fan is wider than that, so the edges will be visually obstructed by the 120mm mounting rail. Additionally, 2x140mm fans will not be as tall as 360mm leaving gaps at the top and bottom. Obviously mounting a 360mm radiator to the back of three 120mm fans is less complicated than the combination 3x120/280mm/2x140 listed above.
Ok got ya. Mounting those fans. The 3x120 and the 280 cooler and with a single 120 in back, will I need a pro commander or ?
Commander Pro is not strictly necessary and you can make it functional using a combination of the H115i fan headers and the motherboard. However, the C-Pro makes life a lot easier to get the two sides of the radiator to run approximately the same speed. This can be very difficult using standard MB variables like CPU temp, unless your MB has a temp sensor probe that is also usable as a control source. Either way, the Commander Pro is pretty useful if you are committed to the Corsair RGB system and will get fan control completely into the desktop software - no more BIOS fiddling.
Sounds like I will use the commander pro. Now this doesnt come
With any of those items right? Is this to be purchased separate or do they have a package of 3 fans that maybe comes with the commander pro.
I really appreciate all this help
I came across this video..
In this video it shows them using the H150I. This is the exact setup I am looking for, and fan placements.
The only 2 things that are different are, he doesn't have the 2080 TI graphics card, which is slightly larger, and also his motherboard is different that mine. Mine is the ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR VIII 570X.
Will this setup in the video still work? This is my final question, if it will then I am good to go!
The motherboard isn't relevant. GPU length certainly is and will pose the same obstacle for the 280mm H115i or 360mm H150i. However, doing that double stack of fans on the 280 will certainly reduce GPU clearance by another 25mm. You'll need to compare your length to the maximum listed in the case specs, then subtract 30mm for the H150i radiator. The front fans are already calculated into the max length.
There are no Corsair offered Commander Pro + fans packages. There may be some vendors who put together package deals, but be careful and do the math. Most of the ones I have seen from 3rd parties are not deals at all.
If you are shopping for other HD/LL/ML RGB fans, they often come in a triple 120x3 pack as well as singles. The multi pack will include a Lighting Node Pro to Link the devices to the software. You won't use it as the Commander Pro replaces it and serves the same function. However, there is also a RGB Lighting Hub in the multipack and that is something you always need. The case will have one for those SP-RGB fans, but you would need a second for LL or any other fan type. You can't mix SP fans with other types. The multipack still has value even if you don't use the LNP.
Make sure you look through the guide below.

H150I and ML Fans
You will see I attached a photo of the Corsair 570X Crystal case with the setup with how I am looking to do it. In that picture, the guy has, circled in red, LL 120 RGB Fans. Then he also has ML 120 fans, non RGB, circled in blue, in a push/pull setup across the cooler. Which I think is a good setup.
In doing this, how and where would I hook up these additional ML fans at? Would these somehow go into the commander pro, or do these hook directly into a spot on the motherboard for just basic fan power.
Would I still be able to adjust those fans in the settings of the computer as well if I hook them directly to the motherboard. I kind of like that I can control my fan speed operation in the corsair application from what I read, so If I can incorporate that into the corsair application, that would be great.
I see in some forms that I can't mix the LL120 fans with the ML120 fans on the commander pro. If this is the case, I can make all my fans the ML fans if this makes it easier. Please help me with this, as the M ML are more expensive, and would rather just use the LL120 fans where the red circles are.
For reference, he is using the H150I Pro Corsair cooler.
I will also have the MSI Geforce 2080 TI Gaming Trio graphics card installed. I believe I will still have plenty of clearance to do the push/pull setup.
Any help would be great! Thanks in advance!!

One of the problems I have is that I have so many pictures stacked up for posting. I have just over 80 pictures of babes in high heels already cleaned up and edited by Christine and sent back to me for posting, plus I have another 110 pictures I have not even sent to her yet for editing.
Part of the problem is getting time to post them and another is that, in theory, according to our original plan, we are only supposed to post one picture per post. Although you will notice that for some time now I have been posting between three and five pictures per post as I sort of try to get rid of my backlog of pictures.
Anyway, here are five pictures of stunners showing off in their sexy high heels with their beautiful boobies there for us to enjoy as well.
As amazing as bare boobies are I have to admit high heels even make boobies look more amazing.
As you can see, some of these pictures were prepared so long ago they still have the Christine approved stamp on them and we decided Christine no longer needed to approve bare booby pictures about three months ago.

John Klemmer
Magic And Movement
Magic And Movement by tenor saxophonist and composer John Klemmer (born 1946) is the follow-up to his Space-Age and Free Jazz escapade Waterfalls (1972) and released in 1974 on the Impulse! Label. The eight-track album features two live performances of one quintet and one quartet led by Klemmer. The concert on side A is recorded in 1972 at the Ash Grove Club in Los Angeles, whereas side B contains Klemmer's inaugural performance at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1973. The band's show is mercilessly eclectic and electrifying, with complex tone sequences, ever-bubbling flecks and cascading drum constructions swooshing by.
What John Klemmer's early to mid–70's works lack in carved out melodies, they deliver in the shapes of textural superstructures and galactic timbres. Vintage Exotica fans can stop reading after this sentence, as it comes down to this: Magic And Movement is a Space-Age album whose propulsion and energy source are based on convoluted Jazz arabesques rather than mauve-colored string washes. Given the affection and taste of Space-Age fans, it might happen that they can stop reading after this sentence as well, but should at least know of the existence of Magic And Movement. As stated above, John Klemmer leads two different bands: side A features bassist Wilton Felder, drummer Eddie Marshall, pianist Mike Nock and guitarist Dean Parks, whereas side B sports bassist Cecil McBee, drummer Alphonse Mouzon and pianist Tom Canning. Even though the album presents two live performances, the audience is only sparsely heard. And best of all, the sound quality is astonishing and makes the hyper-frantic rotor harmonies sound three-dimensional.
It is astonishing how much alike Waterfalls and Magic And Movement really are. Nothing showcases this more efficiently than the latter's opener. It is the prelude to the triptych Blood Of The Sun. Called the Primary Pulse and being the opener not just of this album but also of the live performance at the The Ash Grove situated in Los Angeles on June 22, 1972, John Klemmer revisits the concept of a purely saxophone-based kick-off. Whereas Prelude I off Waterfalls is unsurprisingly linked to aquatic-cavernous surroundings, Blood Of The Sun, Primary Pulse is fittingly cosmic. Downwards floating tenor saxophone tones, electronically added echoes during post-production and a backdrop of pure darkness are everything there is. Empty and hollow, it evokes the dichotomy of our galaxy's starlit emptiness.
Blood Of The Sun, Secondary Pulse then becomes a band affair. Under the applause of the audience, Mike Nock's electric Rhodes piano and the susurrant triangle sparks function as glacial contraventions to John Klemmer's heavily pulsating stardust saxophone. Bassist Wilton Felder adds electric warmth to the sun's orbit. Additional jingle-quality synth coils create the impression of being encapsulated in a shelter-maintaining location. Curiously enough, Klemmer's saxophone is digitally altered and becomes more liquid than on Waterfalls, frothing effervescently to Eddie Marshall's classic drum kit. Jazzy and eclectic but supercharged with translucent surfaces, Secondary Pulse is chaotic Space-Age par excellence.
Blood Of The Sun, Tertiary Pulse is the final movement of the long-form vision, and since I am a reviewer, the simile of a dying sun which becomes a monstrous red gas balloon that grows ad infinitum is admittedly close at hand, true, but oh so fitting on this piece. However, one should not expect histrionic bass quakes or a sizzling drum mayhem; the effect is more subtle and not at all audible in the infancy stages of that Tertiary Pulse. John Klemmer's saxophone is mute for the overwhelming majority of this piece of eight minutes which presents a funky interplay between Mike Nock's electric piano crystals that are silkened and ultra-soft, Eddie Marshall's easygoing but iridescent hi-hat helixes and Dean Parks' orange-hued Funk guitar injections. Added samples of a moaning woman in various pitches are not as audacious or de trop as they appear in written form. Once John Klemmer is reintroduced in the last two minutes, his sax is bursting at the seams, spiraling and whirling like a maelstrom, embodying the climactic state in tandem with Eddie Marshall's increasingly staggering drums. But again, the finale does not feel forced and is by no means cinematic.
As the attending crowd cheers and claps, the quintet presents the final tune of side A and presumably that evening at the Ash Grove: How Cum Ya Gotta Rip Off Your Brothers? is a dirty, semi-nasty megacity anthem loaded with crunchy guitar galores, staccato drums and a back alley saxophone sleaziness that is astutely sun-dappled, but grounded on Earth this time. Neither exotic nor spacey rather than exclusively funky, the song title is screamed into the audience all the while the interstices and clefts create that stop-and-go motion which is so typical for city-infested Funk goodness. Amicably aggressive, playful and bustling, this tune does fit in neither category at AmbientExotica, but since it is a part of the album, I won't deny its existence. It is, after all, rather cool and both transports and transmutes the political message of respect and living together not despite but because of cultural diversity.
Side B is reserved for Klemmer's first enchanted evening at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, recorded on July 6, 1973. It launches with Free Love, and the tune itself starts with a short saxophone solo which is then gorgeously alloyed by Tom Canning's electric piano and Alphonse Mouzon's coruscating cymbals plus drums. Cecil McBee's monotonously vesiculating bass runlets ennoble this wondrously spacial free-flow performance further. While Free Love does not contain hummable melodies, the tones are indeed catchy and comprise of strong textures. As Klemmer goes really wild on the sax later on, so does Canning on the electric piano; both unleash cosmic glitters of partial incongruence and cacophony, but the freshness of the heliosphere is, at least to me, breathtaking and fittingly refers back to the album title. After Mouzon's drum shrapnel, the curtain opens for the second triptych called The Tree Of Forbidden Fruit. That's an exotic title with a biblical innuendo alright, but clearly rooted (!) in ethereal dimensions.
The Alpha Branch features a saxophone solo of approximately 90 seconds that leads to a protuberant spectacle of king-size drums. Klemmer then adds enormously twirling shawm-like saxophone serpentines to the curiously contrapuntal circumambience of electric piano shards. The short Beta Branch does not even cross the two-minute mark, but interpolates Cecil McBee's aquatic-ligneous bass wobbles in-between the void of fluxion. The final Gamma Branch really puts McBee into the spotlight, as his carefully cymbal-underlined bass solo of a whopping four minutes reminds the listener of the virtual nothingness around him or her. It is the task of the quintet to fight this nonentity in unison. An electrifying turmoil of all instruments puts an end to Klemmer's fastest-paced and adamantly kaleidoscopic heart flutter-infested whorl he ever created. A blast during workout!
With a cornucopia of good will, Waterfalls could be wafting in the outermost lithosphere of Exotica. Magic And Movement, in comparison, would orbit around the otherworldly stratosphere and is perhaps a late take on the Space-Age genre. Naturally, Space-Age is a fuzzy and often ridiculed concept, but I deem the feeling and aura of it compatible with the categorization of the album. As a whole, the album is coherent enough, but two tunes disturb the magic field of enchantment John Klemmer and his two bands so skillfully erect and maintain: Blood Of The Sun, Primary Pulse is the expected saxophone solo which is only enjoyable for diehard sax aficionados, for Space-Age and Exotica listeners are used to an overabundance of textures and surfaces, and none of them can be provided by any solo, I'm afraid. The second less enthralling piece is the sleazy-muddy city tour that is How Cum Ya Gotta Rip Off Your Brothers?, a midtempo Funk critter where the tonality of the tenor saxophone may be fitting, but the genre as a whole is undoubtedly wrong for the album.
There is, however, anything wrong with the two three-part clusters Blood Of The Sun and The Tree Of Forbidden Fruit as a whole. Winged whirlwinds, luminescent labyrinths, fast flumes, all these alliterations fit with another one: galactic grandiloquence. Fans of partly electronic Jazz albums will feast on Mike Nock's and Tom Canning's electric pianos which are as important a part as John Klemmer's central tenor saxophone, for they are the shooting stars and incandescent ingredients which ameliorate the already aeriform appearance. Space-Age fans who interpret catchiness as the sum of oscillating melodies and awesome textures should check the album out. It is currently only available on vinyl and not on CD, but 2014 might offer a splendid opportunity when its 40th anniversary is celebrated. Vintage Exotica fans can and should avoid Magic And Movement, as it really is too far off the aural rain forests.

There I sat, in a chair in the tattoo parlor, gazing at the assorted pictures and photos across the walls. Each one represented a mark on some person's body. Some were intricate and meaningful, others angry and violent, still others just silly. I (Kim) handed the artist a piece of paper with my choice for my tattoo: one word, diatribo.
"What's it say?" he asked, then tried to pronounce it.
"It's Greek," I said.
"What's it mean?" he asked.
"It literally means 'to rub between, to rub hard.' For me it means a shared life."
The artist smiled and began to prepare the apparatus. I am sure he had heard thousands of explanations for why people put particular words on their skin.
"Which way do you want it?" he asked. "Facing out, or is it for you to read?"
"This one's for me."
"Why this word?" he asked casually.
Why this word? It was used in the Bible to reflect shared life—abiding with one another, skin rubbing up against skin. Jesus shared his life with a small group of people. This incredible, kind, wise, loving teacher stuck with a bunch of young scalawags. And, along the way, who he was—his character, his nature—rubbed off on them.
I want to be like Jesus. I want to give my life to helping others. I want people to experience his grace and love and peace. I want Jesus to rub off of me and on to others, and I want Jesus to rub off of others and on to me.
Diatribo is one of my favorite words in the Bible. The English translations—"stayed with," "abided with,"—are insufficient to describe this sacred transaction between people. Diatribo is a way of life led by the Savior. I want to live with the same sacrificial purpose—that any good that God has redeemed in me and through me would graciously and generously rub off on others. It reminds me to give priority to relationships and to stay with the people God puts me with, even and maybe especially when staying is hard, when staying hurts.
I love people deeply. All people. A counselor once told me that I feel not only my pain, but also the pain of everyone in the room. I believe and see the best in people, and I make a habit of telling them how valuable they are.
I am not the smartest person in the Forge Mission Training Network. In fact, I am in awe of the authors and international consultants and world-famous preachers I get to work with. However, I have always known I was put on the earth to love others, not with some nominal, superficial, religious love, but with love like Christ's love, a giving of life for others.
Life-on-Life Learning
I was taught that way of loving as a young Christian. I have connected easily with Forge's idea of shared life and discipleship, and mission as a way of life not a program, because that is how I experienced it firsthand as a young person; the youth leader couple in my church invested in me and shared their lives. They were like the big brother and sister I never had. I will always cherish their mentoring of me.
My youth pastor, Steve Swain, took me under his wing and spent time both teaching me about life and showing me how to live. He and his wife, Sonia, opened their home, fed me, and let me sleep over when I needed to. Even their kids embraced me; I was best man in their oldest son's wedding.
Steve was no pushover; there were many tears and hard conversations between us. I could not lie to him because he knew all my thoughts. I'd sit in his office, sweating excessively, as he asked me questions I had no answers to. Steve is one of the most stubborn, straight-talking, confrontational people I have ever met.

If you're looking for a holiday in 2019 / 2020 with a difference, let Goa woo you with its sense of mystery and the exotic. The most popular resort destination iconic India has to offer, a trip to Goa can be geared to whatever holiday experience you want; whether you're after some tranquil vibes in a picturesque surrounding, or something a bit more fast-paced, you'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to things to do. Known as a haven for those that enjoy the finer things in life, you could explore vibrant colourful landscapes, try your hand at some high octane water sports, or partake in some rowdy revelry at a full moon party. Whether you're travelling through India and looking to check out the highlights, or find yourself tempted by the draw of the glittering Arabian Sea and the hedonistic pleasures that lie in wait, Goa is a destination you won't soon forget.
Our favourite places for a healthy holiday
Where is hot in November?
Where is hot in January?
Top attractions
To experience some of the best that Goa has to offer in the shortest space of time, book onto one of the many boat trips available. Take in some dolphin spotting while getting off the beaten track and exploring some of Goa's gorgeous hidden beaches and coves. Find your own personal slice of heaven and kick back, safe in the knowledge that you'll have gotten away from it all...if only for a while. Elsewhere, in Old Goa you'll find a UNESCO World Heritage Site and many wonders that lay there including; 16th Century churches and monuments, ancient forts and other architectural delights; or head for Arpora, Anjuna or Baga to brush shoulders with the locals and haggle your way through the famous night markets. For a heady mixture of sun, sea and sand, and vibrant nightlife you'll want to make Northern Goa your first port of call; with plenty of water sports also on offer to keep you busy.
Eating out
As Goa has steadily become one of the world's most popular and premier tourist hotspots, it's no surprise that the modest state has adapted to offer some of the most mouth watering cuisine in India. Nestled on the west coast of India, it's no wonder that seafood features prominently on the menus you'll find here. Wherever you decide to dine, you're sure to sample some of the local seafood delicacies including gigantic succulent crabs and exotic special dishes only found in the Arabian Sea. The ethos in Goa is always one of content and wellness in life, which is reflected in many of the top-grade eateries you'll find here including our favourite, the Ritz Classic. Located in an unremarkable building on the bustling backstreets of 18th June Road, it's easy to miss; but be sure to stop by on your travels for a memorable night. Simple decor and basic seating arrangements, means that this restaurant is all about the food; and boy does it deliver. Grilled Kingfish, Xitt-Kodi (jumbo prawn curry) as well as a range of Indian, Tandoor and Goan pleasures; we're salivating just thinking about them.
As a veritable sun-blessed paradise renowned for its lavish nightlife and lifestyle, Goa is incredibly popular with globetrotters and romantic types alike; but don't write it off as a destination the kids will enjoy, as there are plenty of activities on hand to keep them entertained. Whether you want to treat them to an unforgettable family day out on the back of an elephant or keep it low key by the sea side, they'll be smitten with gorgeous Goa. For an explosion of sound and colour, take them on a visit to Dr Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary, easily accessible by boat and with an island setting that creates an air of mystery. Exploring the diverse terrain (which ranges from endless mangrove patches to murky swampland) you'll find plenty of opportunity for creature spotting; towering herons, red knots, jack snipes, crabs and mudskippers all common. Elsewhere, an elephant ride in the jungles of Molem in search of spotted deer, weird reptiles and rare jungle cats will delight young minds to no end.
Action & Adventure
While Goa is famous for its Western-style party lifestyle and stunning sandy beaches, there's plenty of action-packed adventures to take part in if you want to get your pulse racing a bit. As mentioned, you'll find aquatic adventures abound on any of this state's pristine beaches including paragliding, kite surfing and jet skiing; but to truly experience the best outdoor activities Goa has, pack your gear and set off for a trek, hike or wildlife safari. The Sahyadhri or the 'benevolent mountains' is definitely one of the most notable hiking destinations in Goa. Beginning from the border of South Gujarat, this mountain range passes through many scenic destinations and is the ideal hiking retreat. On a hiking expedition to the Sahyadhri Range, you'll likely view waterfalls, lush and vibrant forest ranges and other natural wonders. Elsewhere, the rugged terrains of Dudhsagar falls and Vagheriare Peak will provide an exhausting but rewarding trek for experienced hikers, and are often counted among the most exhilarating trails the massive country of India has to offer.
Despite being the smallest state in the vast country of India, and the fourth smallest population wise, Goa has only grown in stature and popularity with visitors each year. With something to offer to all kinds of holidaymakers, partygoers and the beach-obsessed will be particularly well looked after. Renowned for its top notch beaches, you'll have a number to choose from including the quaint and cosy bays of Patnem, or the bustling stretches of sand at Calangute and Baga, where all the usual amenities are on hand to keep you comfortable. If you'd fancy getting your pulse racing a bit, then why not explore the exotic deeps of the Arabian Sea with a spot of scuba diving? With diving schools catering to all experience levels, it's a great way to inject some adrenaline into your holiday. If that hasn't increased you heart rate enough, most of the beaches in Goa also sport a wide range of high-octane activities like paragliding, kite surfing and jet skiing.
Ever popular with younger crowds that want nothing more than to throw on their gladrags and dance the night away; if you came to Goa to party, you won't be disappointed. Delivering distinctly Western-style club nights with a unique local flavour, Goa's nightlife is the best India has to offer. If you're in the mood for scenic views accompanied by slowly-sipped cocktails, some cozy local vibes for a catch up or a unique club experience you won't find anywhere else, Goa will surely deliver the goods. Located in the enviable location of Anjuna Beach, Cafe Liliput is well known with visitors as a lively hotspot; with International DJs often spinning tunes well into the wee hours; but the bar also excels for its impressive collection of internationally sought-after spirits and wines, and diverse menu. With metallic and wood structures designed to make you feel instantly at home, and a laid back yet classy vibe, it'll be little wonder if you end up back here every night.
Goa has been India's premier holiday destination since colonial times; when British officials would come from all over the country to vacation on its prime beaches... So you could say that this small state has centuries of experience in catering for holidaymakers! It's also the ideal location for loved up couples seeking something different, with no shortage of private islands, quaint and charming villages, and top-class restaurants, you're sure to rekindle and reignite that spark. First stop for travelling couples should be a day-trip to Butterfly Beach, just north of Palolem; with a name like that, and the fact that actual exquisitely beautiful butterflies flock here, means that this sandy stretch is simply made for couples. For some reason, it's not as well known with tourists as it should be, so it's be no hassle finding a secluded spot for you and your beau. Not accessible by road, you'll need to trek through vast forests to get here... You could also take a romantic boat cruise from Palolem, if you'd rather not get back to nature. When you finally make it, you'll be rewarded with dolphin watching, romantic strolls and a breath-taking sunset.
If you can pull yourself away from the beach for just a moment, Goa has plenty of cultural highlights on display just itching to be explored; local Indian architecture blends seamless with remarkable baroque structures such as the soul-stirring Se Cathedral and the brilliantly designed Bom Jesus Basilica. Art enthusiasts will want to check out the numerous religious, secular and fine art pieces displayed in Old Goa, while the Anjuna flea markets offer a taste of the burgeoning local art scene; representative of Goan culture at its proudest. Art lovers are not the only culture vultures that will be impressed with what Goa has in store; with many remarkable museums bearing witness to Goa's rich heritage, and also its dark colonial past. No matter what aspect of history you're into, Goa's museums will enrich and educate you. For our money, a standout is the Museum of Christian Art; depicting the remains of Christianity in this unique state, it also features a staggering collection of Indo-Portuguese Christian art and culturally significant exhibitions.

Flights to Barcelona
Barcelona Airport – also known as Aeroport del Prat – is one of the busiest airports in Europe and serves the city of Barcelona, capital of Catalonia. Though there are multiple airports serving Catalonia, Barcelona Airport is considered one of the most convenient as it is only 14km away from the city. In 2012, Barcelona Airport was ranked the 32nd busiest airport in the world, handling more than 30 million passengers in that year alone. The airport's most active route – named "Air Bridge" – is the flight connecting Barcelona to Madrid, as it is used dozens of times a week. Though the airport's main connections are to European cities, flights from Barcelona Airport also go to the Americas, North Africa and Asiatic Southeast.
Getting around
To get from Aeroport del Prat to the city of Barcelona, tourists have a couple of options. They can choose to take the Aerobus – an express bus service that connects the airport to the city centre and arrives every 15 minutes or so – or take a shared minibus with other passengers going into the city. If not, the RENFE train that runs from the airport can get you to the heart of the city in about 25 minutes, and runs every half an hour or so. For those wanting comfort and convenience, airport taxis can also readily be found at ranks outside the terminals.
What to see and do
Few cities can encompass some of the best beaches, sports, shopping, entertainment and dining options in the world all at once, and Barcelona is one of them. Consistently rated amongst the best in all the above arenas, there is something in Barcelona city for just about everyone. Love art and architecture? Antonio Gaudi's magnificent and eccentric works are scattered all around the city. Big sports fan? Barcelona FC – one of the most prominent and successful football clubs globally – is based here, and you can visit their stadium and museum. For foodies, there is no lack of gastronomic delights in this city that houses some of the best Catalan restaurants and tapas bars in the world. Shopaholic at heart? Take a stroll along the famous Las Ramblas, a lively pedestrian mall lined with merchants selling all sorts of wares, as well as street performers pretending to be statues.
The capital city of the autonomous community of Catalonia, Barcelona is the one of Spain's largest and most developed cities. It has a fascinating history; founded by Romans, the city was under Muslim rule for 200 years before being taken over by the Christian reconquest. To have a glimpse of what the city was like in the past, visit the Gothic Quarter (or Barri Gòtic, in Catalan), Barcelona's old city, which used to be a Roman village and contains remnants and artefacts of the glorious past.
On top of having a rich, long history and cultural depth, Barcelona is also blessed with mild, warm weather almost all year round due to its strategic location on the shores of the Mediterranean, which also means 5km of beaches just a stone's throw away from the city.

Get Started With Instagram Nametags
Instagram has just launched a new feature, Nametags. Well, if you are following TechCrunch they've reported that this feature was in the making for several months now.
Nametags are new ways to connect with friends on Instagram. It is a digital signature of the Instagram profiles, that when scanned have a direct link to the user's Instagram profile.
Why do you need an Instagram nametag?
By introducing nametags, Instagram is giving users new options to share their profile links/presence beyond the Instagram app. So basically the main benefit for having your Instagram hashtags is to:
To let people easily find you and follow you on Instagram
How to find my Instagram Nametag?
Just follow these steps:
- Open your Instagram app and go to your profile
- Tap on the top, right menu icon
- Tap the first option 'Nametag'
There you go, you will see your Instagram hashtag, that you can customize, scan other nametags or share yours with other people.
How to customize nametags
Once you've created the Nametag just click the middle top icon where you have 3 options to customize the look of the nametag: Selfie, Color, Emoji.
How to Scan an Instagram Nametag
Open the Nametag section by taping the top right menu icon and select Nametag.
Once you are in the Nametag screen, just tap on the bottom link 'Scan nametag' and point your phone to a Nametag.
The app will recognize the Nametag, and immediately open a popup with the user's profile and an option to follow him/her.
You can also scan a nametag using the Instagram app camera:
- Open the Instagram app and tap in the top left camera icon
- Hover the camera over the nametag
- Hold and press on the camera screen until the nametag is captured
The best thing is that you can scan nametags from photos that you have on your phone's camera roll.
To do this, just tap the top right-hand icon and choose the photo that has a nametag on it. The app will immediately recognize it and will open the persons profile with a 'Follow' button that you can click and start following this person.
What you can do with the Instagram nametag in order to increase followers?
Using the Instagram Nametags in your marketing activities is similar like using QR codes. If you have not used QR codes, probably you've seen companies adding QR codes on their shop windows or flyers. The idea is to provide a direct offline link with their online presence, such as websites or social media profiles, thus making an easier way for their prospects and customers to find their websites or any online activity that the company promotes as a link in the QR codes.
So, with Instagram Nametags you can do similar promotional activities. Here are some ideas:
- Add the nametag photo on your website or blog
- Print the name tag photo on your fliers, menus or any print collateral
- Share the nametag photo in your social media activities by tapping on the top right share button.
Please note: the Instagram Nametags are different than other QR codes and similar badges mostly because you can not scan them with other scanner apps. You will need to use the Instagram app to use its scan option (as explained above).
Hope this helps and provides you with new ideas on how to increase your Instagram following and make more exposure of your Instagram activities.

Singers Wanted!
June 30 – July 9, 2019
The Baroque Vocal Workshop is a new initiative from the Heifetz International Music Institute expressly for aspiring and emerging professional singers who wish to deepen their understanding of Baroque music and style, through the prism of the Heifetz Institute's renowned instrumental teaching and unique Heifetz Performance and Communication Training method, which marries world-class vocal and instrumental instruction with experiential classes in Movement, Drama, Public Speaking, and other methods designed to developed the physical, gestural and verbal communication skills and leadership capacity both on and off stage.
Heifetz Baroque adds an exciting new dimension to the Institute's teaching philosophy that artists express their individuality not only through technically and intellectually robust music-making, but also through emotional and even physical engagement. The inaugural program will be directed by David Stern, Music Director of the acclaimed Paris-based studio and company Opera Fuoco, Chief Conductor of the Palm Beach Opera, and director of the Shanghai Baroque Festival. Principal vocal instruction will be from soprano Dominique Labelle, renowned for her interpretations and teaching of the works of Handel, Mozart, and Bach.
8 to 10 singers will be enrolled in the ten-day Heifetz Baroque program, supported by a cadre of faculty instrumental artists and students enrolled in the Heifetz Institute's summer program, who will participate in the rehearsals and a culminating public performance of scenes and arias from Baroque operas. This final concert will take place in the iconic Blackfriars Playhouse of Staunton's American Shakespeare Center, the only replica in the Western Hemisphere of Shakespeare's Elizabeth-era indoor theatre in London.
The Baroque Vocal Workshop will take place on the campus of Mary Baldwin University in Staunton, Virginia, known for its historic, culturally vibrant downtown and stunning natural beauty. Sandwiched in the Shenandoah Valley between the Blue Ridge and Allegheny mountains, Staunton regularly appears on lists of the nation's best main streets and small cities in such publications as Smithsonian, Travel & Leisure, USA Today, and Architectural Digest.
Outline of the Course
Heifetz Baroque will focus on 18th– century repertoire, encompassing both the foundations of baroque style and gesture as well as its evolution to the Classical style of Mozart, Haydn, and early Beethoven.
Coaching Sessions with David Stern
Each student will have a minimum of three hour-long coaching sessions with Mr. Stern on pre-assigned repertoire that will be performed in the final concert. These coaching sessions will initially be accompanied by harpsichord, and then a full complement of strings (performing at A = 440 but in period-informed style), coached and led by Heifetz Institute faculty with renowned expertise in Baroque and early-Classical performance and style. Students will also be provided with ample practice and ensemble rehearsal time for their repertory.
Private Lessons with Dominique Labelle
During the ten-day course, each participant will receive three hour-long private lessons with the renowned vocal pedagogue Dominique Labelle, Professor of Voice at the Schulich School of Music at McGill University. Material to be studied in these lessons (whether repertoire or technical study) will be decided in consultation with the instructors.
Studio Performance Class
Each participant will also have the opportunity to perform their repertory before their studio colleagues in sessions led by Mr. Stern and Ms. Labelle.
Instrumental Rehearsals, Coachings, and Performance
Select violin, viola, and cello students enrolled in the regular Heifetz Institute program and assigned to chamber-music ensembles will also participate in the Baroque workshop, (again performing at A = 440 but in period-informed style), gaining valuable experience and insight into the genre as part of their course of chamber-music instruction. Faculty and student instrumentalists will perform onstage with the singers in the program at the Blackfriars Playhouse as part of the Baroque Vocal Workshop's public showcase performance on Tuesday, July 9, 2019.
Symposia/Workshop: Mozart Arias: From the Voice to the Violin (or Viola, or Cello)
Heifetz Baroque students will interact with students in the regular Heifetz program and tap in to the powerful teaching resources at the Heifetz Institute via a special symposium that will explore the connections between vocal and instrumental music in the music of Mozart. No special preparation will be required for this class.
Heifetz Performance & Communication Training
Heifetz Baroque will also include a mandatory component of the Institute's Performance and Communication Training method; indeed it is the "special sauce" that sets the Heifetz Institute apart from all other summer learning experiences for musicians, and informs every aspect of our program. It strives to empower young performers to perfect their artistry by developing their physical, mental, and emotional range and connecting these with the music they play. Communication Training also provides the opportunity to forge powerful interactions with other Heifetz students.
Heifetz Baroque students will receive training in Drama, Freedom of Expression, and Movement, in sessions led by New York-based director, actor, teacher and Heifetz Institute Communication Training Director Daniel Pettrow; Drama and improvisation master John Gregorio; and the dynamic dancer, choreographer and teacher Annabella Lenzu, founder and Artistic Director of Anabella Lenzu/DanceDrama,
Key Dates
Students will arrive on Sunday, June 30, 2019, and participate in Opening Assessments with Mr. Stern, Ms. Labelle, and other Heifetz personnel. Instruction will begin on Monday, July 1, 2019., and the final performance will be in the Blackfriars Playhouse on Tuesday, July 9.

Tuition and Fees

I Like to Move It Move It
On a recent weekend, my son and I made a last minute decision to take a day trip to see my little sister, Becky, and her two boys. My sister and I had both had a challenging week, and were in need of some connection and support time. Once we arrived, the boys quickly went to playing, and Becky and I laid in her bed and talked about all the stressors and feelings.
We both started to notice a sense of stuckness in our situation, and I felt the impulse to shake it out and shift our energetics. I remembered my friend Lizzy had recently shared with me a video of a unique movement experience she has created. We got out of bed, and decided to take a movement journey with Lizzy.
With Lizzy as our guide, we danced, built strength, laughed, breathed deeply, released and cleared the heaviness. At one point, our sons came in to join in on the fun, and we were all free dancing around the living room. I felt a reconnection with my alive, hopeful essence, and a sweet connection with my sister and our boys.
I truly believe in the power of movement to help us remember our true selves. for me, it is an essential part of a Reclaiming Beauty practice. This is why I am so thrilled to let you know about a women's fitness experience and sisterhood circle, that my colleague and friend, Lizzy, is offering.
Since that day with my sister, I have continued to enjoy Lizzy's online fitness experiences as a chance to move my body while receiving a positive infusion of higher consciousness. Lizzy is a dynamic and inspiring teacher and trainer who is walking her talk. After these movement experiences, I always feel a release of stagnant energy and deeper connection to my vitality.
In this upcoming Free Live class, Wholehearted Woman, you will connect with a tribe of amazing women, just like you. You will strengthen and open your physical body, deepen your capacity to be fully present with yourself, dance wildly, and quite possibly fall madly in love with the exquisite woman that you already are.
This is for women who are tired of making excuses and feeling disconnected from their truly empowered and authentic self. For women who would you like to harness the support & momentum of this tribe of wholehearted women, in order to finally claim their power and be who they came here to be!
This a a live video class you can join from anywhere in the world via Facebook Live, on Tuesday, April 10th 10:00 a.m. EST.
You will receive a full length fitness and embodiment routine, meditation, and intention setting exercise to support you in aligning with the wisdom of your higher self and embodying your full potential. This class will be recorded so you can revisit it at any time and use it to guide the creation of your daily self care rituals to support you in stepping into your highest level of alignment and empowerment.
I hope to see you there!
Walk... and dance and move... in wholehearted beauty,

Her colour burned too. " Miss Silver met the indignant gaze with a steady one. " Without an instant's hesitation Dorinda drove both hands into the pockets of her tweed coat. They were deep and capacious. They should have been empty. They were not empty. The fact struck her a blow which was as hard as it was unexpected. She felt as if she had missed a step and come down in the dark. Her eyes widened, her colour rose brightly. Her hands came up out of the pockets with a scatteration of stockings, handkerchiefs, and ribbon.
I am prepared to swear that this lady never turned back, and that she could not possibly have taken the mimosa spray. I was interested in her, and there was never a time when I could not see at least the top of her head. She could not have reached the mimosa spray from where she was, and she did not turn back. That is the first point. The second one is this. As the people moved on, there were naturally gaps between them. Through one such gap I saw one of the two young women I have mentioned in the act of withdrawing her hand from this lady's coat pocket.

Explore your surroundings. I've always have wanted to explore different locations and see what i can photograph there. The warehouse that I photographed my last self portrait in is crazy big. I easily can do so many sessions in there and come out with different outcomes. So if you go to a location multiple times try and see if you can photograph it differently. Always get the safe photo first, then try something brand new that you haven't tried yet. Like if you have seen a photo in a magazine try to replicate it. You should be able to see the lighting in the photo.
Now this self portrait has been a interesting one. I asked my friend Ryan if he could help me out. I wanted to photograph in the same warehouse that I used last time. As you can tell it is different from the last one. I wanted the portrait to look like I was exploring the warehouse.
The lighting for this portrait was pretty easy. I use my alien bee camera left with a red gel and then to add more red I put a slave flash in the lantern. The slave flash only cost about 30 bucks and its perfect to put behind someone to cause separation. I wanted to keep the lighting pretty simple.
Well thats it for this week. Next week should be pretty interesting. I'm going back to do a composite with a plan drawn out.

Where: Black Box, The Arts Center at NYU Abu Dhabi
Badke is not a search for a long-lost authenticity, but rather a nuanced expression of both a sense of belonging and a desire to be part of the wider world. But behind the relentless energy and joy also lie darker moments, alluding to life under occupation and violence. This other reality seeps into the celebratory surface of Badke. The dancers push themselves to new extremes, driven by Nasser Al-Faris' infectious score. But in the end, however, one thought prevails: We will dance until we collapse.
Zahed Sultan and DJ Dolores
When: 21st and 22nd September at 8.00pm
Where: Black Box, The Arts Center at NYU Abu Dhabi
Resonance is an evolving audio-visual project by Kuwaiti multimedia artist Zahed Sultan. Requiring sensory participation from an audience, Resonance blurs the boundaries of what is real and what is perceived, in an immersive live performance integrating music, visuals, and light.

Among the simplest ways to conserve money on a new home purchase is by finding a loan item that has low interest and no points. Nobody home will ever cost the same because it always depends upon the buyer's lender and the rate they got on their loan.
If you're searching for Bhopal houses for sale, make certain you're simply as selective about your lender as you have to do with the property in Bhopal. Here are some pointers for finding a loan that makes good sense for you.
Look around
Never simply pick the first lender you take place to find online or are described by a friend. Rather have a look at the scene. Not all loan providers are the same. Some have terrific programs for newbie home buyers while others are much better fit for individuals with unique scenarios like self-employment problems.
Deal with Your Credit history
Do you have less than best credit? Do not stress. You're not alone, although, when you're trying to find funding it can look like you are if you do not have a great credit report. There are lots of lending institutions out there going to provide you money with a less-than-perfect rating, however that does not suggest that the programs they have to provide are the very best for your long-lasting monetary future. A lot of times people with bad credit rush into buying a home and opt for a loan that is, eventually, going to cost a lot of money in points and interest.
What can you do? Think about taking 6 months to a year to get your credit in much better shape. Hang out repairing wrong details on your report and paying your expenses on time so that your rating enhances. Investing the time to increase your rating will open more doors to you in regards to finding a lender.
Form a Personal Connection
Nowadays it appears whatever is done digitally. Many buyers never even sit face to face with the individual lending them the cash up until closing day. Dealing with a local lender and forming a personal connection puts a name to the loan application and it suggests that you might get a much better offer. You'll likewise have the chance to ask questions about the loan that you might have been reluctant to ask when handling phone representatives and e-mail forms.
There are a lot of Bhopal houses for sale. If you use smarts, you'll wind up paying less than your next-door neighbors - ensured.
