An Anthology in Thirty Volumes.
From Tarantella
By Mathilde Blind (18411896)
of human mirth and laughter from somewhere among them were borne from time to time to the desolate spot I had reached. It was a Festa day, and a number of young people were apparently enjoying their games and dances, to judge by the shouts and laughter which woke echoes of ghostly mirth in the vaults and galleries that looked as though they had lain dumb under the pressure of centuries.
There was I know not what of weird contrast between this gaping ruin, with its fragments confusedly scattered about like the bleaching bones of some antediluvian monster, and the clear youthful ring of those joyous voices.
I had sat down on some fragment of wall directly overhanging the sea. In my present mood it afforded me a singular kind of pleasure to take up stones or pieces of marble and throw them down the precipice. From time to time I could hear them striking against the sharp projections of the rocks as they leaped down the giddy height. Should I let my violin follow in their wake?
I was in a mood of savage despair; a mood in which my heart turned at bay on what I had best loved. Hither it had led me, this art I had worshiped! After years of patient toil, after sacrificing to it hearth and home, and the security of a settled profession, I was not a tittle further advanced than at the commencement of my career. For requital of my devoted service, starvation stared me in the face. My miserable subsistence was barely earned by giving lessons to females, young and old, who, while inflicting prolonged tortures on their victim, still exacted the tribute of smiles and compliments.
Weakened and ill, I shuddered to think of returning and bowing my neck once more to that detested yoke.
No! Ill never go back to that! I cried, jumping up. Ill sooner earn a precarious livelihood by turning fisherman in this island! Any labor will be preferable to that daily renewing torture. I seized my violin in a desperate clutch, and feverishly leant over the wall, where I could hear the dirge-like boom of the breakers in the hollow caves.
Only he who is familiar with the violin knows the love one may bear ita love keen as that felt for some frail human creature of exquisitely delicate mold. Caressingly I passed my fingers over its ever-responsive strings, thinking, feeling rather, that I could endure no hand to handle it save mine!
No! rather than that it should belong to another, its strings should for ever render up the ghost of music in one prolonged wail, as it plunged shivering from this fearful height.
For the last time, I thought, my fingers erred over its familiar chords. A thrill of horrid exultation possessed me, such as the fell Tiberius may have experienced when he bade his men hurl the shrinking form of a soft-limbed favorite from this precipice.
Possibly my shaken nerves were affected by the hideous memories clinging to these unhallowed ruins; possibly also by the oppressive heat of the day.
Sea and sky, indeed, looked in harmony with unnatural sensations; as though some dread burst of passion were gathering intensity under their apparently sluggish calm.
Though the sky overhead was of a sultry blue, yet above the coast-line of Naples, standing out with preternatural distinctness, uncouth, livid clouds straggled chaotically to the upper sky, here and there reaching lank, shadowy films, like gigantic arms, far into the zenith. Flocks of sea-birds were uneasily flying landward; screaming, they wheeled round the sphinx-like rocks, and disappeared by degrees in their red clefts and fissures.
All at once I was startled in my fitful, half-mechanical playing by a piercing scream; this was almost immediately followed by a confused noise of sobs and cries, and a running of people to and fro, which seemed, however, to be approaching nearer. I was just going to hurry to the spot whence the noise proceeded, when some dozen of girls came rushing towards me.
But before I had time to inquire into the cause of their excitement, or to observe them more closely, a gray-haired woman, with a pale, terror-stricken face, seized hold of my hand, crying:
The Madonna be praised, he has a violin! Hasten, hasten! Follow us or she will die!
And then the girls, beckoning and gesticulating, laid hold of my arm, my coat, my hand, some pulling, some pushing me along, all jabbering and crying together, and repeating more and more urgently the only words that I could make outMusica! Musica!
But while I stared at them in blank amazement, thinking they must all have lost their wits together, I was unconsciously being dragged and pulled along till we came to a kind of ruined marble staircase, down which they hurried me into something still resembling a spacious chamber; for though the wild fig-tree and cactus pushed their fantastic branches through gaps in the walls, these stood partly upright as yet, discovering in places the dull red glow of weather-stained wall-paintings.
The floor, too, was better preserved than any I had seen; though cracked and in part overrun by ivy, it showed portions of the original white and black tessellated work.
On this floor, with her head pillowed on a shattered capital, lay a prostrate figure without life or motion, and with limbs rigidly extended as in death.
The old woman, throwing herself on her knees before this lifeless figure, loosened the handkerchief round her neck, and then, as though to feel whether life yet lingered, she put her hand on the heart of the unconscious girl, when, suddenly jumping up again, she ran to me, panting:
O sir, good sir, play, play for the love of the Madonna! And the others all echoed as with one voice, Musica! Musica!
Is this a time to make music? cried I, in angry bewilderment. The girl seems dying or dead. Run quick for a doctoror stay, if you will tell me where he lives I will go myself and bring him hither with all speed.
For all answer the gray-haired woman, who was evidently the girls mother, fell at my feet, and clasping my knees, cried in a voice broken by sobs, O good sir, kind sir, my girl has been bitten by the tarantula! Nothing in the world can save her but you, if with your playing you can make her rise up and dance!
Then darting back once more to the girl, who lay as motionless as before, she screamed in shrill despair, Shes getting as cold as ice; the death-damps will be on her if you will not play for my darling.
And all the girls, pointing as with one accord to my violin, chimed in once again, crying more peremptorily than before, Musica! Musica!
There was no arguing with these terror-stricken, imploring creatures, so I took the instrument that had been doomed to destruction, to call the seemingly dead to life with it.
What possessed me then I know not: but never before or since did the music thus waken within the strings of its own demoniacal will and leap responsive to my fingers.
Perhaps the charm lay in the devout belief which the listeners had in the efficacy of my playing. They say your fool would cease to be one if nobody believed in his folly.
Well, I played, beginning with an
at the very first notes of which the seemingly lifeless girl rose to her feet as if by enchantment, and stood there, taller by the head than the ordinary Capri girls her companions, who were breathlessly watching her. So still she stood, that with her shut eyes and face of unearthly pallor she might have been taken for a statue; till, as I slightly quickened the
a convulsive tremor passed through her rigid, exquisitely molded limbs, and then with measured gestures of inexpressible grace she began slowly swaying herself to and fro. Softly her eyes unclosed now, and mistily as yet their gaze dwelt upon me. There was intoxication in their fixed stare, and almost involuntarily I struck into an impassioned
No sooner had the
changed than a spirit of new life seemingly entered the girls frame. A smile, transforming her features, wavered over her countenance, kindling fitful lightnings of returning consciousness in her dark, mysterious eyes. Looking about her with an expression of wide-eyed surprise, she eagerly drank in the sounds of the violin; her graceful movements became more and more violent, till she whirled in ever-widening circles round about the roofless palace chamber, athwart which flurried bats swirled noiselessly through the gathering twilight. Hither and thither she glided, no sooner completing the circle in one direction than, snapping her fingers with a passionate cry, she wheeled round in an opposite course, sometimes clapping her hands together and catching up snatches of my own melody, sometimes waving aloft or pressing to her bosom the red kerchief or
she had worn knotted in her hair, which, now unloosened, twined about her ivory-like neck and shoulders in a serpentine coil.
Fear, love, anguish, and pleasure seemed alternately to possess her mobile countenance. Her face indicated violent transitions of passion; her hands appeared as if struggling after articulate expression of their own; her limbs were contorted with emotion: in short, every nerve and fibre in her body seemed to translate the music into movement.
As I looked on, a demon seemed to enter my brain and fingers, hurrying me into a Bacchanalian frenzy of sound; and the faster I played, the more furiously her dizzily gliding feet flashed hither and thither in a bewildering, still-renewing maze, so that from her to me and me to her an electric impulse of rhythmical movement perpetually vibrated to and fro.
Ever and anon the semicircle of eagerly watching girls, sympathetically thrilled by the spectacle, clapped their hands, shouting for joy; and balancing themselves on tiptoe, joined in the headlong dance. And as they glided to and fro, the wild roses and ivy and long tendrils of the vine, flaunting it on the crumbling walls, seemed to wave in unison and dance round the dancing girls.
As I went on playing the never-ending, still-beginning tune, night overtook us, and we should have been in profound obscurity but for continuous brilliant flashes of lightning shooting up from the horizon, like the gleaming lances hurled as from the vanguard of an army of Titans.
In the absorbing interest, however, with which we watched the deliriously whirling figure, unconscious of aught but the music, we took but little note of the lightning. Sometimes, when from some black turreted thunder-cloud, a triple-pronged dart came hissing and crackling to the earth as though launched by the very hand of Jove, I saw thirteen hands suddenly lifted, thirteen fingers instinctively flying from brow to breast making the sign of the cross, and heard thirteen voices mutter as one, Nel nome del Padre, e del Figlio, e dello Spirito Santo.
But the ecstatic dancer paused not nor rested in her incredible exertions; the excited girls alternately told their beads and then joined in the dance again, while the gray-haired mother, kneeling on the marble pediment of what might have been the fragment of a temple of Bacchus, lifted her hands in prayer to a little shrine of the Madonna, placed there, strangely enough, amidst the relics of paganism.
All of a sudden, however, a horrific blaze, emitted from a huge focus of intolerable light, set the whole heavens aflame. As from a fresh-created baleful sun, blue and livid and golden-colored lightnings were shivered from it on all sides; dull, however, in comparison to the central ball, which, bursting instantaneously, bathed the sky, earth, and air in one insufferable glare of phosphorescent light. The deadly blue flame lit up everything with a livid brightness unknown to-day.
Walls and faded wall-paintings, limbs of decapitated goddesses gleaming white through the grass and rioting weeds, tottering columns, arches, and vaults, and deserted galleries receding in endless perspective, leaped out lifelike on a background of night and storm.
With piercing shrieks the horrified maidens scattered and fled to the remotest corner of the ruin, where they fell prone on their faces, quivering in a heap. In a voice strangled by fear, the kneeling mother called for protection on the Virgin and all the saints! The violin dropped from my nerveless grasp, and at the self-same moment the beautiful dancer, like one struck by a bullet, tottered and dropped to the ground, where she lay without sense or motion.
At that instant a clap of thunder so awful, so heaven-rending, rattled overhead, so roared and banged and clattered among the clouds, that I thought the shadowy ruin, tottering and rocking with the shock, would come crashing about us and bury us under its remains.
But as the thunder rolled on farther and farther, seemingly rebounding from cloud to cloud, I recovered my self-possession, and in mortal fear rushed to the side of the prostrate girl. I was trembling all over like a coward as I bent down to examine her. Had the lightning struck her when she fell so abruptly to the ground? Had life forever forsaken that magnificent form, those divinest limbs? Would those heavy eyelashes never again be raised from those dazzling eyes? Breathlessly I moved aside the dusky hair covering her like a pall. Breathlessly I placed my hand on her heart; a strange shiver and spark quivered through it to my heart. Yet she was chill as ice and motionless as a stone. She is dead, she is dead! I moaned; and the pang for one I had never known exceeded everything I had felt in my life.
You mistake, signor, some one said close beside me; and on looking up I saw the mother intently gazing down on her senseless child. My Tolla is not hurt, she cried: she only fell when you left off playing the tarantella; she will arise as soon as you go on.
Pointing to the lightning still flickering and darting overhead, I cried, But you are risking your lives for some fantastic whim, some wild superstition of yours. You are mad to brave such a storm! You expose your child to undoubted peril that you may ward off some illusory evil. Let me bear her to the inn, and follow me thither. And I was going to lift the senseless form in my arms when the woman sternly prevented me.
In vain I argued, pleaded, reasoned with her. She only shook her head and cried piteously, Give her music, for the love of the dear Madonna! And the girls, who by this time had plucked up courage and gathered round us, echoed as with one voice, Musica! Musica!
What was I to do? I could not drag them away by force, and certainly, for aught I knew, she might have been in equal danger from the poison or the storm, wherever we were. As for peril to myself, I cared not. I was in a devil of a mood, and all the pent-up bitter passion of my soul seemed to find a vent and safety-valve in that stupendous commotion of the elements.
So I searched for my instrument on the ground, and now noticed, to my astonishment, that although the storm had swept away from us, the whole ruin was nevertheless brightly illuminated. On looking up I saw the topmost branches of a solitary stone-pine one dazzle of flames. Rising straight on high from a gap in the wall which its roots had shattered, it looked a colossal chandelier on which the lightning had kindled a thousand tapers. There was not a breath of air, not a drop of rain, so that the flames burned clear and steady as under cover of a mighty dome.
By this brilliant light, by which every object, from a human form to a marble acanthus leaf, cast sharp-edged shadows, I soon discovered my violin on a tangle of flowering clematis, and began tuning its strings.
No sooner had I struck into the same lively tune, than the strange being rose again as by magic, and, slowly opening her intoxicating eyes, began swaying herself to and fro with the same graceful gestures and movements that I had already observed.
Thus I played all through the night, long after the rear-guard of the thunder-storm had disappeared below the opposite horizon whence it first aroseplayed indefatigably on and on like a man possessed, and still, by the torch of the burning pine, I saw the beautiful mænad-like figure whirling to and fro with miraculous endurance. Now and then, through the deep silence, I heard a scarred pine-bough come crackling to the earth; now and then I heard the lowing of the stabled cattle in some distant part of the ruin; once and again, smiting like a cry, I heard one string snapping after another under my pitiless hands.
Still I played on, though a misty quiver of sparks was dancing about my eyes, till the fallow-tinted dawn gleamed faintly in the east.
At last, at last, a change stole over the form and features of the indefatigable dancer. Her companions, overcome with fatigue, had long ago sunk to the ground, where, with their little ruffled heads resting on any bit of marble, they lay sleeping calmly like little children. Only the mother still watched and prayed for her child, the unnatural tension of whose nerves and muscles now seemed visibly to relax; for the mad light of exaltation in her eyes veiled itself in softness, her feet moved more and more slowly, and her arms, which had heretofore been in constant motion, dropped languidly to her side. I too relaxed in my
and the thrilling, vivacious tune melted away in a dying strain.
At the expiring notes, when I had but one string left, her tired eyes closed as in gentlest sleep, a smile hovered about her lips, her head sank heavily forward on her bosom, and she would have fallen had not her mother received the swooning form into her outstretched arms.
At the same moment my last string snapped, a swarming darkness clouded my sight, the violin fell from my wet, burning hands, and I reeled back, faint and dizzy, when I felt soft arms embracing me, and somebody sobbed and laughed, You have saved her, Maestro; praise be to God and all His saints in heaven! May the Madonna bless you forever and ever
I heard no more, but fell into a death-like swoon.

For the past two days I have been participating with one of the groups I still have ties to: The Utah Alliance for Economic Development. We held the Fall meeting in Layton at the Davis County Convention Center. The main meeting was yesterday and today I attended a board strategic planning session.
I realized when I was driving home today that this is one of the things I miss about not working: Group interactions. Silly as it may sound, I actually love problem solving in a group. I love the banter, the birth of new ideas, the disorganized flow of information, the creative problem solving and the eventual conclusions. I knew this about myself already. But I didn't realize how much I miss it until the dynamic presents itself to me.
My retired day doesn't involve this kind of creative problem solving. I find that I am pretty boring, generally. But in that kind of group setting, I love to participate and shine.

I'm still here and doing what huskies do best, stealing food, escaping and napping.
My humans have been really busy decorating the house and cleaning up everything. They mumbled something about me and all my fur causing a mess everywhere. I say I'm just doing my part to ensure they get proper exercising moving that vacuum cleaner around.
They cleaned under the couch and this is what we found!
Yup that's right, they found my hiding spot, under the couch. I've been saving those for a rainy day! 5 bones total there and a ball! How awesome was that?
Today was another day for Houdini like escapes. The humans put me in my crate before heading out to church and I decided it would be a perfect day for me to greet them as they returned. That's right I met them at the front door, tail wagging and a smile on my face.
They are shocked at my awesome magic skills. I should go on the road and earn me some treats!
I hope everyone out there is having a good holiday weekend. Be safe!

Authorities in Pickens County have arrested five men they say were responsible for a home invasion robbery and kidnapping in Aliceville last week.
Authorities in Pickens County have arrested five men they say were responsible for a home invasion robbery and kidnapping in Aliceville last week.
The men are accused of tying up an Aliceville couple and robbing them at their home off Alabama 17 North on Sept. 22.
Officers serving a search warrant Sunday at the trailer park where the suspects live found stolen property in a wooded area that was being guarded by 10 pit bulls. Officers shot and killed three dogs that attacked, two that were chained to trees and a third that was not restrained, Pickens County Sheriff David Abston said.
Abston said four of the five suspects live in Country Lane Trailer Park at 1700 First Ave. SW in Aliceville.
The thieves watched the victims' home off Alabama 17 North on the night of Sept. 22 until family and friends left. The couple were sitting on their front porch talking when the thieves ran from a wooded area, threw hoods over the victims' heads and tied the couple's wrists, Abston said.
The thieves were armed with a pistol, clubs and heavy sticks from the woods, he said.
Two of the thieves forced the husband to accompany them to an ATM in Aliceville to withdraw money. The thieves ransacked the home, stuffing food, drinks, guns and other items into pillowcases.
The couple were able to free each other from the restraints after the thieves left. They were not injured and did not require medical attention.
During the investigation, the Aliceville Police Department and Pickens County Sheriff's Office developed information that led them to the five suspects. They executed a search warrant at the trailers at 7 a.m. and made four arrests. A fifth suspect turned himself in to Aliceville police on Monday.
The officers found three of the guns the couple had reported stolen in the woods, lying under trees that the dogs were chained to, Abston said.
All five suspects were charged Sunday with first-degree robbery. Abston said they would be charged with two counts of first-degree kidnapping on Tuesday and one count of first-degree burglary. Bail had been set at $100,000 for the robbery charges for each suspect and had not yet been set in the other charges late Tuesday.
The suspects are:
-Credell Jay Eastling, 24, 1700 First Ave. SW, Aliceville
-Garry L. Ball, 30, 1700 First Ave. SW, Aliceville
-Joshua Kendall Williams, 17, 107 Mobile Road, Aliceville. Williams is being charged as an adult.
-Deondrea D. Thomas, 19, also known as "DD", 1700 First Ave. SW, Aliceville
-Anthony D. Ball, 19, 1700 First Ave. SW, Aliceville
Investigators with the district attorney's office, Gordo, Reform and Carrollton police departments helped Aliceville police and Pickens County deputies serve the search warrants and make the arrests on Sunday.

text: akarno 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2008 (edited) I am still having problems using my Touch Pro as a music player. I have given up trying to use AAC+ files and am going through my music collection (again) re-encoding as WMA. I have also given up with the Touch Flow music player. It will not play albums in the right order. It is also difficult it get to the album you want. As a result, I have reverted to using the built in Media Player, but I am still getting some problems. The biggest issue is the gap it puts in between tracks. I know many music players put a gap between tracks, but 5-10 seconds (I timed it) seems excessive. Is anyone else getting this? Also I seem to get a dropout (fraction of a second) about once a track. I am open to suggestions. I don't think it could be the memory card. It is a ScanDisc and I had no problems with it on my old phone. Is there either a fix or a good quality 3rd party player anyone could suggest?

Members Need Problems Update thread!
Nothing annoys honest hard working people who pay to watch anime!
There should be a problem thread ( maybe the most reported ) or CR is aware of and status / updates !
Also when CR does an update we should know ! Maybe even a link on the home page !
I think we at least deserve that!
"In Your Face" Shirase Kobuchizawa (A Place Further Than The Universe)
Pinning threads for recurrent issues and posting status updates does sound like a great idea... under the hopeful but probably unwarranted assumption that they're actually being worked on. For myself, I stopped bothering after seeing the umpteenth thread for the same problem on multiple issues, with little or no effort being made to actually address the causes.
In particular, I've given up since not even lip service is given for streaming issues / lagginess / etc no matter how many people report the same thing after trying every solution CR offers. The Site Which Must Not Be Named may actually be doing CR a favor, imo. They nominally provide what CR can't (the ability to download and replay is obvious, but for quite a while CR can't even offer the ability to stre - am - wi - thout - con - stant - stu - tter- ing)... but I've stayed on as a CR subscriber because that's where they're getting it from and it's only fair.
If CR actually is doing something about it instead of being "refocused" on other genres after the no-really-it's-not-a-buyout that we were promised would change nothing, it would be nice to know. Heck, even knowing that one engineer is being allowed to research the problem (and be listened to) would help, even if her updates are weekly and usually consist of "Trying new approach, last one didn't work either. Not giving up!"

This study tested the hypothesis that hypocapnia superimposed upon hypotension produces a further reduction in cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV). In 12 newborn piglets, CBFV was measured continuously by Doppler ultrasound through an artificial fontanelle. Hypotension was induced by removing 30 ml/kg of blood. Increasing the ventilator rate reduced the average arterial carbon dioxide tension from 5.5 to 2.0 kPa. When mean arterial pressure (MAP) was held steady at 45 mm Hg or above, hypocapnia produced a substantial drop in CBFV but, in all the piglets with MAP below 38 mm Hg, hypocapnia failed to change CBFV by 10%. Hypocapnia produced an increase in lactate in sagittal sinus blood but cerebral venous hypoxanthine concentrations were not affected by hypocapnia. Hyperventilation (without haemorrhage) produced a significant drop in MAP, preventable by infusing colloid. Hypocapnia itself does not further reduce CBFV in the hypotensive piglet. However, the pressure effect of hyperventilation may significantly impair the cerebral circulation.

Four years ago, we lost my oldest step-brother to suicide.
Tyler and I didn't grow up in the same home. In fact, even though our parents were married, because of custody arrangements, I didn't see Tyler from the time I was eleven or twelve until his wedding. Although he was a couple of years younger than me, we were close enough in age and had enough in common that we became close friends.
Through our individual struggles, we bonded. We had inside jokes and shows that we both liked. We both loved to cook and play around with recipes. Besides the obvious loss to our family, when Tyler died, I lost one of my closest friends.
Just over a year later, at a very low point in my life, I met two very special men. One became the love of my life.
The other?
He became my adopted brother.
Nolan has many things in common with Tyler. And yet, he's still his own brand of wacky. We got to know each other while talking about food and cooking. We bonded over moving to a new town and learning our way around. We became family one October night as we sat stranded on the side of a mountain road with a flat tire and no cell service.
Nolan could never replace Tyler and neither of us would want that. But he's given me the best guy friend back. The guy who knows me a little better than I know myself and isn't afraid to call me on my bullshit. The friend who will tease me until we're both laughing so hard we're crying, but he'll kick someone's ass for hurting me.
Even though he now lives about an hour away and sometimes we go weeks without talking, I know that all I have to do is call or text and he's right here.
The boyfriend? I'm going to marry him someday. When I do? Nolan will be my man of honor. And I will mark yet another chapter in my life with my two closest friends.
Most women would consider themselves lucky to find one great guy.
I've got two. And they're the best family I could have hoped for.

So it's Mother's Day and you feel like you need a new burst of energy to continue this feat of motherhood. You're the wet nurse, the maid, the short-order cook, the crafts improvisor, the economic advisor, the referee (lots of squables to mediate), the general run-around person, clocking more than 24/7. You're overworked and underpaid and one Mother's Day to commemorate this insane responsibility is just a little too little—well, maybe, not. Here's to all mothers out there:
Mommy Dearest
For all the boo-boos you kissed away,
for all the monsters you fought and slayed.
For all the laughter you bring,
when things go astray.
For all the times you scoop me up,
so I could reach the basketball hoop.
For the scrumptious food you churn,
out of the kitchen stove,
with generous helpings of love.
For the times you waited in the doctor's office,
braving my screams,
just to make sure the nurse didn't draw an ounce more than she should.
For all the times you sat through the same old DVD,
just so you could be near,
to watch my smiles and frowns as I follow the story line.
For all the miles you've driven,
rain or shine,
just to make sure I get to a zillion places in a zillion time zones,
all with a smile.
For the times you pretend not to see,
when I am romping in the mud and rain,
caution to the wind, wind in my face;
and you know it will take more than Tide,
to make it right,
but you figure it's better than raising a TV slouch.
For all the times you hold me close,
and speak sweet manna from heaven,
when my heart aches and I couldn't quite tell why,
for all the times you let me fall,
so you can lift me up to touch the grace of God,
for leading me in the hard and narrow path,
so one day I'll be dancing in the broad street of heaven.
For all and more,
mommy dearest,
I must say you're the bestest
the world can offer.
God must have known,
When he made you my mom,
for I couldn't have ask for a better one.
There, have a wonderful Mother's Day and keep up the good work.

Kollam and Alappuzha
Ferry services connect almost all the locations from the start to end of the bays. Kollam is the starting point of the journey of the backwater regions. It was the centre of trade in ancient times and has been praised for its beauty by popular travellers like Marco Polo and Ibn Battuta. Thangasseri Fort near Kollam is a historic site that can be visited by travellers. The Alumkadavu Backwaters are popular for their huge houseboats and dry docks. Then, comes Alappuzha, famous for diverse flora and fauna, boat races and a large network of canals. A number of tiny islands on the Vembanad Kayal form the picture-perfect Kumarakom village. Rare bird species can be seen at the Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary located in this region.
Thiruvallam is among the most popular backwater destinations of the state that is located at a distance of just 6 km from the capital city Thiruvananthapuram. Tourists can enjoy different water sports at the Veli Lagoon near Thiruvallam. The canoe rides are becoming one of the major attractions for tourists from all over the world. Paravur Kayal is also part of backwater regions, which is connected to the Arabian Sea. The resort in the heart of the lake looks beautiful and is one of the best spots to intake the beauty of this place. A cluster of almost eight islands, Munroe Thuruth is surrounded by Sasthamkotta Lake, Kallada River and Ashtamudi Lake. It gives an insight of the routine life of locals in Kerala, which has not changed much over years. The vibrant landscape of Kasargod, stretched between Western Ghats and the sea, is a stunning sight to behold. Trips to Chandragiri, which houses a number of forts, can be planned from Kasaragod. To enjoy the picturesque view of waterways, tourists can head to Valiayaparamba.
The backwater regions are a paradise for sightseers and nature lovers. Serenity and peaceful environ is a perfect destination to take a break from hustle-bustle of daily life and honeymoon holiday packages can be booked in advance to spend that special time with partner. Apart from boat ride and canoeing in the water of these bays, travellers can enjoy by visiting the beatific hills of Munnar. The vegetation spread all across the mountains form a marvellous picture showcasing all shades of green.

Oh God my strength and refuge
I know my life secure
You hold me in your providence
And keep me safe and warm
Oh God my hope and daily bread
My life, you know, is Yours
I give to You all that I am
And all I am is yours
I'm standing here before You now
Prepared for what's to come
Wherever You may lead, my Lord
I shall follow there
Holy You are, and will be.
The sacrifice You gave for me
Is so great and true
I cannot look on anything
Before I look at you
For You're just so captivating
Lord You made me new
So Jehovah, show the way
And I will go with haste
I need Your strength to make it there,
So You carry me dear God.
This love that is inside of me
Lord it's all because of You
This hope that's stored within my mind
It is placed here by You
And now my Christ,
My Master, Sir,
I confess to Thee
Holy You are
And will be,
You, I know, will come.

NCSPP Corner
by Tiffany McLain
We here at NCSPP have a tiny secret for you - all these awesome events you attend, they are put on by a slew of tiny elves toiling away in a workshop. Okay! I lied!
All of the NCSPP events that you know and love are actually created, from the ground up, by an entire group of committed, engaged, thoughtful and generous individuals who volunteer their time to bring you the programming, editorials, and social events that you love.
Now it's your turn! We are looking for individuals who are passionate about re-defining what it means to be "psychoanalytic" and re-imagining who and what we can be. It is NCSPP's desire to make psychoanalytic theory and practice increasingly accessible and we need a diverse group of minds to make this possible.
If you're curious, creative and looking to expand your professional network, we'd love to hear from you!

So i haven't been writing anything since I got sick in December and I feel like such a jerk for not doing anything. So on the scale of 1 to 10, January had been around 4. Firstly, there were two art competitions in which I participated in; the first one took place in… November? December? Can't remember. And the second took place on 17th January. The results for the first one will be posted in March and the second one had begun its online voting on Facebook and when I saw the votes… I might kill myself. I got 2 – one from my friend and the other from anonymous – and two of the pictures got over 50 votes. Yes, I felt devastated.
Another crappy thing that happened was that I got a bad cold recently and so I couldn't participate in the Sports Day practice because I had a killer headache when we were going to practice for sprinting and long jump. I wanted to do sprinting because it's better than jumping over a pipe-thing you use for high jump, and I hate throwing gigantic toothpicks and mini cannonballs! I am still sick but not as bad as before. I've been taking my medicine and tried to sleep early (but I'm already used to sleeping really late, you know, because of school work), and I've also started to eat more veggies and fruits as well as warm herb tea. It's still chilly here but not as freezing as last week – plus, I don't have to wear my sweater to school; blazer and sweater makes it hard to move!
The Botball thing announced the game board and the volunteers for the board-building were planning on doing a bake sale to get money to buy parts for the game board. I was absent during the latest robotics club so I'm not sure what they've decided – I'll ask my friends later. I also joined the Enterprise Competition, where I have to get into groups and make a business project in school. I'll have to make the products and sell it and stuff, and the project that's the most successful will be the winner, and they'll have a chance of continuing the business in school.
Going to rookieMANGAKA, I have been doing writing exercises in my English classes in school and I've realised there were so much I didn't know that I've decided to BETA some of my writings. Okay, so I won't be BETA-ing all of them because I won't have enough time; it'll be nice if I were to have a twin, then she/he will help me edit some stuff and give ideas… Meh, I have four other siblings and weird friends, so I might as well start talking to them about my blog.
I'm not sure whether to write Deus Ex Machina or Umbra for the next post – what do you guys think?

When Brooks Bennett was a boy he would sometimes accompany his father, City Manager Bob Bennett, to City Hall on Friday mornings. The elder Bennett had staff meetings on his plate.
The younger Bennett's plate was full, too. But he was tagging along for the breakfast tacos.
Now at age 34, Brooks Bennett is continuing the government-service career he learned from his father's 23 years at the helm in Round Rock City Hall.
"Born and raised in Round Rock," Bennett said on a recent Friday afternoon in his office. "Grew up a stone's throw from the water tower and lived in Round Rock every day of my life, essentially."
It was a different era when Brooks Bennett joined the roll of Round Rock residents in 1981. Ronald Reagan was sworn in as president, with George H.W. Bush as his vice president. Republican Bill Clements was in the Governor's Mansion, but otherwise Democrats still held plenty of statewide offices. Westwood High School would open that fall in the school district's far-western reaches. But Round Rock proper, with a population of about 10,000, was still a one-high-school town.
Bennett attended Round Rock High School as a freshman and sophomore, finishing up his junior and senior years with correspondence courses through Texas Tech University High School.
"It was an opportunity to get some college credit under my belt, to get a jump on college," he said.
Bennett said he's always had a "passion for technology." It's an interest he discovered and cultivated at an early age and one that would later serve him well when he went to work for Round Rock city government.
"Those two years I learned graphic design and web development," Bennett said, referring to his time at the Texas Tech correspondence school, from which he graduated in 1999.
Bennett then enrolled at the University of Texas and commuted from Round Rock, helping pay for college with web and graphic-design work.
Also during that time — and feeding his entrepreneurial spirit — Bennett and a friend, UT baseball standout Chance Wheeless, operated a skateboard shop on Mays Street.
Bennett graduated from UT in 2004. His bachelor's degree is in communications, with an emphasis on radio, television and film. He has since earned a master's in public administration from UT Pan-American.
First as an intern
Bennett started work for Round Rock in 2004 when the city hired him as a video-production intern.
"I graduated from UT on a Friday and came to work for the city as an intern on a Monday," Bennett said. "I've been here ever since."
Bennett was hired full-time in 2005, working as the city's first videographer. In that capacity, he produced city government's biweekly news magazine that aired on Time Warner Cable's Channel 10.
Technology continued to advance and Bennett made sure Round Rock kept pace with the evolving communications environment.
"We started live-streaming Council meetings in 2006, and that was a project I was heavily, heavily involved in," he said. "We love the open transparency of the public decision-making process it allows for."
Bennett continued developing city government's web and social media presence, as Round Rock's technology specialist and multimedia coordinator.
From February 2012 to February 2015 he was chief information officer in the information technology department. After that, he was promoted to his current position.
Family tradition
Today, Bennett oversees the city's communications and IT departments, the library, neighborhood services and the convention and visitor's bureau — as well as special projects.
But he said City Hall doesn't have a lot of bureaucratic silos and he works collaboratively with City Manager Laurie Hadley and his fellow-Assistant City Manager, Bryan Williams, who was formerly police chief.
All told, it's a large operation. The city has about 900 full-time employees and a total annual budget of approximately $311 million as it delivers a wide array of services to a city that has grown tenfold since Bennett's youth. Today, more than 106,000 people call Round Rock home.
"Lot of people doing diverse jobs," he said of city government today. "That was one of the things that attracted me, all the different things we get to do.
"Any given day we could be meeting with the public sector, the private sector, a new business in town," he said. "You never know what you're going to be tackling on any given day, but you're giving the community services. To me, that's the exciting thing and what gets me up in the morning."
Meanwhile, after leaving Round Rock city government, Bob Bennett went to work on the Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority's Board of Directors. The agency, which serves Williamson and Travis counties, also has another Round Rock connection. Mike Heiligenstein, a former city councilman and Williamson County commissioner, is the authority's executive director.
Brooks Bennett said he has "absolutely" been influenced by his father's decades of public service.
And he need not look far to see reminders of those who came before him — those whose shoulders he now, to some degree, stands upon.
After all, both Dell and the Round Rock Express came to town during his dad's 1979-2002 tenure as city manager.
Bennett can look out his office window to watch children and adults enjoying Prete Plaza — named for the late Parks and Recreation Director Sharon Prete, who helped Round Rock acquire the land for Old Settlers Park.
Now, it's not uncommon for Bennett's wife, Katie, to bring the couple's two sons to the office for a Friday visit.
Blaise, 4, and Silas, 2, are still too young to know what their dad does for a living. But, as they watch and learn, it's not unreasonable to think they might someday follow in their father's and grandfather's footsteps.
"I've got two little boys now and they've got Round Rock on their birth certificates," Bennett said. "We've got a third generation of Bennetts that's going to grow up in Round Rock now."

Washi Tape Pennants
Well, it seems Liss has fallen into the washi wagon just as full as I have and she wanted to play with the Gingham Garden washi tape.
Hey, I'm good with that! I stretched it out on a piece of Whisper White card stock and then used the pennant punch, turning it first one way and then the other to get cute little pennants. :o)
They looked too plain on the card front by themselves, so I punched out and mounted them on Melon Mambo.
I stretched a couple of strips of washi across the bottom of the card front, cut a banner and adhered the sentiment, and punched holes in the pennants and threaded baker's twine through them and put it all together.
I simply love that piece of Melon Mambo gingham and decided to incorporate it into the card and love how it balances out the pennants on the top.
This card uses:
*Papers: Gingham Garden DSP, Whisper White, Melon Mambo
*Inks: Melon Mambo
*Stamp Set: (I can't remember!! Liss, a little help, please!)
*Accessories: dimensionals, Gingham Garden washi tape, baker's twine

Ms. Graziano's statement, as quoted here, is inaccurate. The city has done a VERY poor job of informing us of meetings related to this project. That includes Ms. Graziano's office as well. For example, on on occasion, for an important meeting, she informed ONLY people along that corridor, not in related areas. She has come out for this project and has minimized opportunities for those opposed to voice their opinions publicly.
Also, the changes along the way have been extremely minimal and the engineering methods are 30 or more years out of date, but DPW, as well as Ms. Graziano, have not taken voiced concerns into consideration since the start of this project.
In the words of a member of the Urban Design Committee, whom I talked to about this, this is definitely a grant-driven proposal and what it does to the neighborhood is horrible.

An Article I wrote on getting a new hairstyle
Every now and then, keeping the same hairstyle tends to become monotonous and we like to change it up a bit. There are so many variations as to what hair style you could choose. From dying your hair, to adding strands of vibrant color, to highlights, to haircuts of various styles, there are so many different options to choose from.
Deciding on what style is right for you is sometimes easy. Other times, it's not as easy as we would have hoped it would be. There are many websites dedicated to providing you with a new look, or general ideas of new looks. There are also many books and magazines at salons, which are usually kept up to date with the current trends. Sometimes, asking your hair stylist what they think is right for you works. This is risky business, though, considering the style they might like may be…

Has anyone with a Dreamhost email managed to get it working ? I've followed the wiki instructions, downloaded the cert, tried SSL and TLS with no joy. The settings work on my Win 7 PC and my Mac 10.6.8 but not on the TouchPad.
I downloaded the cert from
NDN Certificate - DreamHost
I copied this over to my TP over USB and then clicked the + sign at the bottom of the certificate manager on the TP. I then selected the file and told it to accept it.
Then I had the domain mismatch error. To solve this I use nslookup. Goto
KLOTH.NET - NSLOOKUP - DNS Look up - Find IP Address
Enter your email domain in the first box (eg. mail.yourdomain.com). Click 'Look it up' and at the bottom of the result box you will see an IP address. Copy and past this into the 'Domain' field and click 'Look it up' again. You will see a line in the results box that says 'name = xxxxx.mail.dreamhost.com'. Use this domain name for you incoming and outgoing server in mail setup.
SSL worked for incoming. I have to choose TLS for outgoing.

Love with a Broken Heart
by admin • March 25, 2012 • * Safe for Work *, To You • 0 Comments
You make me cry, and you make me smile. You're so smart and funny it kills me inside. It's a twisted, perverted sense of emotion, and you want my best friend. I'm with you when you're having problems, I'm with you when you need a friend, I'm with you because you choose to be with me. Yet, your heart doesn't feel the same as mine, and it's the worst feeling in the world. Your lips on mine, your arms around me, you telling me I'm being ridiculous. I need it all, all the time. It hurts me endlessly that you don't love me too. I'll never leave you, I'll stand by your side. Even if I'll never be your bride…. I never want to lose you. No matter where your heart takes you. Seeing you happy, seeing you want to always be my friend, I need that far more than anything else in this world. You're my first real friend, and my first real love. I can only wish that someday you'll see, we were meant to be.
You're Crazy Angel.

What an amazingly powerful thing is fear. It moves one even more noticeably than does love. It manifests itself in an infinite variety of forms, both physical and mental. Swiftly, it is able to overcome and succumb even the strongest of character, reducing them to breakable servants of its hopeless illusions. Bound and blinded by the depths of its black waters; crushed relentlessly by its' waves which pound against our souls.
Is there a creature on this earth that has complete immunity from this disease? Or may all be torn from their paths by the iron grip of Fear. It is a demon that can possess every cell of its victim; it can manipulate and wrench from our hands the God‑given right to make choices.
It knows but one opponent. It can be successfully reduced by only one agent, an agent we must fully trust to aid us in victory; indeed, trust is its very base! Its torment can only be ceased by an invocation of Faith. Faith can heal us of this plague when employed willfully and in strength. It is Faith that must lie at the core of our strength. It can move mountains or form a foundation no attack can weaken.
Our lives must be an eternal exercise of Faith. Fear stands waiting at all times to catch us off-guard. It is then that it strikes and holds us within vice‑like jaws; piercing through and through with its venom-filled fangs. We must always bear the sword of Faith; we must ever be poised with strength and courage to cut off the serpent's head.

TAMPA One of the citys oldest malls is vying for a comeback and on Tuesday its New York owners announced not only a new purchase, but a new name, too.
RD Management bought out the Sears inside University Plaza for $7 million, according to a deed filed with Hillsborough County last week. Now that it owns that 144,941-square-foot chunk of the complex, it can go forward with plans to revamp the nearly 50-year-old mall under the new name "Uptown."
"The acquisition of the Sears property marks a significant milestone in the transformation of the entire University Mall site," said Roger Hirschhorn, COO of RD Management, in a prepared statement.

This is the first time since the mall was constructed in the 1970s that the entire nearly 100-acre property will be under one owner.
The Sears location, which was owned by Sears, Roebuck & Co,, will remain as a tenant, according to the management company. Developers say it will be part of a dynamic mixed-use center that has been long envisioned.
PREVIOUS COVERAGE: Charter school finds home in University Mall
The mall, a neighbor to the University of South Florida, initially announced plans to renovate in 2015. Its plans included demolition of the malls enclosed common area and the addition of "lush landscaping, water features and seating areas."

"In order to be successful we need to have a very solid master plan, but a format that allows flexibility and opportunity," said RD Management development strategist Chris Bowen.
No date has been set yet for finishing construction nor changing the malls name.
Bowen said while plans are fluid, what details developers plan to release in the next few months are on track with the open-air, mixed-used renderings released in the last few years.
Some of their plans have already taken shape: Portillos and Millers Ale House have opened and Dillards returned to the mall in spring of 2017, taking over the space Macys abandoned two years before.
The mall has about 120 current tenants including and an upscale movie theater/restaurant, GameStop, Famous Footwear, Grands and Victorias Secrets.
But the two floors JC Penny vacated in 2005 are still vacant.
Still, Bowen and his team have big dreams some of which might take up to a decade to actualize.
Ultimately, RD Management hopes to foster an "Uptown District" that gives the neighborhood a stronger identity.
The mall and other nearby hubs USF, Busch Gardens, Moffitt Cancer Center are part of what used to be known as the Tampa Innovation Alliance and now goes by: "!p".
Bowen and his team hope to capitalize off that industry network by creating a "North Tampa renaissance." He envisions a mall that brings together the neighborhoods needs: from health and wellness to traditional retail.
"The (retailers) that are the best," Bowen said, "are the ones who listen to their communities."

Treat your Own Knee ArthritisBook - 2011
If you're looking down at your arthritic knee and seeing only a worn-out joint with eroding cartilage, you're thinking about your knee the wrong way. There are two problems with this line of thinking. First of all, the structural changes that commonly take place in arthritis, things such as cartilage loss, meniscus tears, and bone spurs, can all be found in people with no knee pain.
Consider the study that looked at 319 subjects between the ages of 25 and 74 with knee arthritis on x-ray - and found that only 47% had knee pain. Put another way, 53% of these people were walking around with knee arthritis and no pain. Yet another study looked at 49 subjects over the age of 45 with no knee pain or arthritis, and found that 76% of them had meniscus tears
The second problem with focusing on the structural changes in knee arthritis is trying to figure out what's causing your pain. Most of the numerous structures in your knee have nerve pain fibers going to them, so good luck trying to pinpoint which one(s) are the exact source of your pain. In fact, about the only knee structure we can safely rule out is the articular cartilage that can be seen wearing out on x-rays Knee cartilage itself actually has no pain fibers going to it, and therefore cannot produce any pain. So what now?
Treat Your Own Knee Arthritis takes a new approach to an old problem. Instead of worrying about structural problems (that studies show people can live just fine with) you will learn how to fix the functional problems found in knees with arthritis. And as the research shows again and again, if you improve functions such as the strength and proprioception of your knee, the pain goes away.
Based entirely on randomized controlled trials, Treat Your Own Knee Arthritis is a simple, yet effective program that can be done in the privacy of your home with minimal cost or equipment. Exercise sheets are also provided to help guide you step-by-step through a six-week program.

My friend Jerry helped me calibrate my lens to the camera (I didn't even know that needed to be done) on Friday morning (a week later) I took it out that afternoon , Saturday and Sunday. The next three shots in the right column were taken after calibration of the lens.
As with anything new you always want to experiment - and I and I can't wait for the Labor Day weekend so I can do just that. So... Til my next post.

Lydia came out of surgery great. Our wonderful neurosurgeon, Dr. Satchivi, let us know that he ran into some bleeding due to her counts. They were high enough to do surgery, but her little body has been through so much. She bleeds easier than normal apparently. She had a CT Scan and it looked great. PRAISE GOD, yet again!
So this is what I am slowly learning…I have been able to give my children over to God. For His use and purposes. What is harder for me is giving each specific detail to Him. I know God is in control. It has been very interesting to hear things that have not been ideal to me and give each of them to God…but I am learning, sometimes faster than I could imagine.
So my specific prayer request is that Lydia would not bleed in her brain and that the previous bleeding would not damage anything as it is broken up by the spinal fluid and passes through the new shunt.
Please keep praying and worshipping our creator. He is lovely.
Please take time to sign our guestbook. Thanks, Liz

You know what it's like… you have all of these people in your life, and it should be the greatest thing on earth, to spend every minute of the day with them. BUT, you still have that thing you have to do, and if you could only be by yourself for a few hours then you'd nail it.
As the trend continues for people to work more, and more, at home; there is a growing need to find a little spot of loneliness. Somewhere that you can escape to, without distraction or too many people.
The Search
I've had to find such a place this week, and in fact I am writing this blog post there right now, but as I live on the Isle of Wight, and more specifically Cowes, this is harder than it should be, really. When I've lived in cities there is an abundance of little hideaways that can conceal you for half a day, but as the buildings thin out, so does the opportunity to escape.
In a writers fantasy world you would assume that you could write on one of the many beaches that we have here, or even under a tree in the corner of a field, but actually in practice these options are messy, uncomfortable and full of distraction. Coffee shops are great for an hour or so, but if you spend any longer than that, then you drink far too much coffee and end up buzzing out of the door as you count the loose change in your pocket.
A library is the writer's last resort; the fortress of fiction; the palace of prose; the nook of novels; but unfortunately the Cowes library is one of the old Victorian village libraries, which consists of one room with books around the edges.
The Discovery
Alas, I have finally found my sanctuary for the summer. The library in Newport should do very nicely, as it's only a bike ride away and there is absolutely nothing here to distract me. I plan on spending at least one day, if not two, here each week.
I don't know why I thought you might like to know this, but I guess that a lot of people must have the same type of problem when trying to find somewhere to work. I'd love to hear of any that you may have, and especially any interesting, creative places that have not only provided sanctuary, but also inspired as well. Let me know.

The Naples Pier does it all. Best known as a fishing pier and symbol of Naples but if your lucky you may catch a dolphin show, tail standing and all.
Least you forget, you're within a stones throw of great dining, shopping and things to do.
A favorite of locals and visitors alike, features a concession stand slash bait shop, a man-made wooding Jetty great for fishing, panoramic views and dazzling Sunsets viewing.
Jig Anglers are in the first 100 feet of the pier to find there favorite spot. Further down the pier under shaded roofs Mid-Pier another gathering of anglers.
At the very end of the pier, who knows, giant Goliath Grouper are rumored to be residents there.
There are fish cleaning stations and comfortable benches throughout the Pier for convenience and comfort. (don't have to clean fish at home with there scales and smell).
The Municipal beach features a volleyball sand court at the pier and multiple beach access with limited parking (some with showers) at many Avenues that end at the beach.
Often on Saturday mornings, my son Ryan and I would head to Del's 24 Hr Store & Bait Shop, buy a couple dozen live shrimp, coffee for me donuts for my son (Pier Concession doesn't open at 7 am) and arrive at Naples Pier with smiles on our faces.
Walking the pier we see many seniors gathered seated at table provided on the pier near the concession stand. A daily happening I'm sure.
Anglers, sipping there coffee in the pre-dawn light telling tall fish tales no doubt before casting out their lines in hopes of catching the big one.
Finally the warm sun peaked through the morning haze.
Bait fish crashing together jumping high out of the water in their struggle to escape their attackers. Seabirds joined in the frenzy and the dance begin.
Fishermen from everywhere run to the spot and casting out to the center of boiling sea hoping to land the big one.
Fish-on...Fish-on. It's a strike. Set the hook. The games is afoot.
Pelicans roam the pier wanted leftovers from the fisherman. Dolphins, Snook and other species of fish can be seen about the pier. A squadron of Leapard String arranged in a diamond pattern swoop by. Nature open close is Amazing.
This particular Saturday morning, my son Ryan and I with other anglers were caught in the moment as two Bottle-nose Dolphins were tail walking seemingly knowing they were entertaining us.
It was a awe-inspiring performance worthy of one you would pay to see at Sea World. Clearly demonstrating their awesome ability and immense strength. It was to say a word, Awesome! A moment I got to enjoy with my son, double Awesome!
The Pier offers excellent panoramic views of six miles of candy white beaches and turquoise waters that stretch from Gordon Pass on the south to Wiggins Pass on the north.
Sunsets come in may different colors and shapes. Some are pink, some are orange, all are compelling.
Locals and visitors come hours before sunset with blankets and chairs, some with beverages of their choice and snacks, waiting each evening for a a few moments to see one more sunset.
A Thunderstorm over the gulf at sunset is a sight to behold. The sky appears angry yet tranquil with colors of black, pink and sometimes orange and yellow.
Lighting cracks followed by equally loud rolling thunder, throw in a hundred or so white flashes against a dark bruiting sea.Well that'.....Wow
Without a doubt, one of the most popular activities both on the beach and on the pier, is gathering in the late afternoon and early evening to watch the ever-changing but always spectacular sunsets.
Paradise-Coast communities are blessed and spoiled to see this heavenly event each evening.

So what it is going to be then? After this summer of so much sun and so much content? And a train trip from Paris to Berlin that lasted 29 hours.
The expression Stand Up And Be Counted comes to mind and I have decided to use it. You will have to do the counting and will do the standing. Means that I have made a commitment, and that is no little thing when non commitment seem so much easier to do.
I have decided that much energy over the next year must go into making a small book on Itching Images. Why and how to get them. Much along the lines of Street Photographer's Toolbox but with a clear beginning, middle and end. A clear structure.
Nothing big size, but enough for me and hopefully many more to get a little bit brighter on what street photography can be. A small book of learning with stress on easy understanding, precise information and usefulness. A practical book with many photographs. And many practical exercises.
The project will also be the hub for The Workshop to be arranged in 2014.
It shall not be more than 100 pages long and filled with useful information on how to improve and make street photography even more interesting. You are welcome to follow the process since bits and pieces will be published on this very site.
In fact, much of the work has already been done so it is primarily a work of adding, rewriting and editing. And to find a way to publish it.
So these are the words. If you care to do the counting, I will do the standing. We can reverse the order later on.
One year from now is the deadline. Most likely it will come much faster.
Good luck with it.

June 2015 - 14 Night Black Sea & Aegean Medley (Rome To Istanbul) Cruise on Emerald Princess
Wonderful Itinerary
Since the cruise starts in Rome, we arrived in Rome 3 days prior to the cruise & enjoyed the eternal city. One can choose from many options to be transported to the cruise port. The itinerary of this cruise was wonderful: All the ports are rich in history most with Biblical references. Our cruise ended in Athens, not a clean city, bustling with shops & restaurants.


text: While shopping with my grandmother today at Sams I saw this piece of furniture. It is perfect for my scrapbooking room. You know, the one I will possess someday. I wouldn't have anywhere to put it right now plus I don't have the $447.38 on me currently. But I believe it's beautiful. I would have it in the middle of the room with a desk in the corner. Ah day dreams are nice in the middle of the day.

Clights Out Night 2010 (UPDATED)
Just like your office's annual "Hawaiian Shirt" day, the day we all hoped would not came around again is back for 2010. Or should I say, "the night".
By a 75% landslide, you, our loyal readers, decided that it was time to take action and once again announce "Clights Out Night" for another year.
The reason for the silence of my sharp-witted, razor-tongued and eloquently-vocabularied partner in blogdom is known to no-one but his enigmatic self. But we hope that, as in 2009, your Clights Out Night vigils of darkeness will again bring him out of hybernation (or at least save you a few dollars on your electrical bill).
So on Friday August 2oth, at 9pm (in your local time, wherever you are), we ask our readers to turn out all the lights in your home and sit in darkness and ponder the mystery of our missing wordsmith. As someone (should have) said last year, "No Clight Means No Light!"
Again we hope that in whatever corner of the world he is in, Clight will see the light in hundreds – nay, thousands – of homes around him, go out… 99.9% of them purely by coincidence, but how will he know?
We must discourage the practice of throwing light bulbs from windows, that was rumored to have become popularized by this event last year, but in my mind could have been connected to any number of similarly themed events on the same time and date.
As with last year, promotional merchandise – which was a top seller amongst all C'n'I items in 2009 – are now available in the C'n'I shop.
Post a comment below to let us know how and where you will be observing Clights Out Night in 2010.
Let's hope it has the desired effect!
— Irish

Bruce Van Sant is the authority on sailing from Florida to the Caribbean. He spent a lifetime on the water and authored several excellent guides on sailing comfortably against the strong trade winds. We studied his works before departure and reread them en route. His analysis of the unique island weather patterns and recommendations have been helpful, and we enjoy his humorous writing style. Bruce has retired and lives ashore in Luperón. We found his contact information on his website and invited him and his wife Rosa to visit Mar Azul while we were in town.
As an American who has spent most of his life traveling and working all over the world, Bruce has a fascinating perspective on life, politics and different cultures. Rosa is a businesswoman who has worked in the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, in addition to traveling the seas with Bruce for many years. Land-based now, they have made many contributions to the local community and have helped to develop the cruising base here. Bob & Bruce share a love of spirited conversation; Rosa is a gracious hostess and most knowledgeable about the area. We enjoyed several afternoons with them during our time here, and got to visit their beautiful home, Kembali, overlooking the town and sea.
Friends at home might find Bruce's experience with medical care in the Dominican Republic and abroad of interest: http://www.thornlesspath.com/healthcareexperiences.pdf.

It was terribly sad day when it was announced they were closing. We ate there. 2 or 3 times a month.
Just found this place after living here almost 9 yrs. Great service. Food excellent. Wait staff friendly and attentive. Lots of choices. We'll definitely go back. Lots of local memorabilia around restaurant.
Carolina BBQ had been in Statesville since the early 80's or late 70's and they have retired. Some trips were awesome with the smoked BBQ chicken and other trips were sadly disappointing with stale pork BBQ. They served the community well for the most part...More
The service was almost nonexsistant. The restaurant is old outdated, and does not seem clean. I never saw my waitress but once
At the end of July 2017, the owners retired. They're trying to sell the business. Hopefully someone will buy it and use the owner's recipes. This was our #1 favorite BBQ place anywhere.
With many mixed emotions, Linda and Gene Medlin have decided to retire. We would like to thank all of those people who have eaten with us over the last 32 years. We will never forget all of you. Thanks for the memories. Linda and Gene
