A 9 year old girl had her laptop seized by police after attempting to download music from the file sharing site 'Pirate Bay'.
The action was brought against the girl's father by Finland's anti-piracy organisation 'Copyright Information and Anti-Piracy Centre' (CIAPC) when they traced an IP address that they claimed had connected to the 'Pirate Bay' site and had downloaded music by Finnish 'artist' 'Chisu'.
Initially, the CIAPC demanded that the father of the girl pay 600 euros AND sign a non-disclosure agreement to keep the whole affair quiet. The father flatly refused and the CIAPC (being well aware of the absurd situation) then escalated their claim by involving the police, who were then obliged to confiscated the girl's' Winnie The Pooh' laptop, but were apparently not informed that the alleged 'criminal' was a 9 year old girl.
The father of the girl claimed that his daughter did not have the technical knowledge to intentionally download a torrent, and that her attempts to download the music had failed. He then bought the album for her the next day.
He said that on the day of the early morning police raid it felt like the Mafia were at his front door demanding money. He went on to say "This is the pinnacle of absurdity. I can see artists are in a position, but this requires education and information, not resource-consuming lawsuits."
To resolve the matter, the father was forced to pay a 300 euro fine by the CIAPC to prevent a criminal investigation by the police. A spokesman for the CIAPC , Antti Kotilainen, said "We are very happy. In a way, we just continued the original negotiations from where we left off. We reversed the call for an investigation because we reached an agreement with the girl's father."
The extremely heavy-handed approach of the CIAPC has been attracted criticism from the public, 'Chisu' (the artist), and Finland's Minister of Culture.
We certainly do not condone copyright infringement, but this kind of disproportionate approach does nothing to nurture the cooperation of the public. When people see organisations such as the CIAPC stomping all over a nine year old girl who has been encouraged by the media to admire and adore pop idols, is it any wonder that this kind of thing happens, and will continue to happen.
Perhaps if corporations were not so greedy (and the fact is that the corporations take the lion's share of sales – not the artist) and made the artist's work affordable for the intended market then more people (including children) would be able and willing to buy it. Corporations are quick enough to manipulate the public to want their products.
What has this experience done to the 9 year old girl? What will be the future damage to her from being involved in this ridiculous, heavy-handed approach? A lifetime of guilt and shame? Hate and disgust? Children are vulnerable and sensitive, and can carry negativity created by a situation like this for the rest of their lives.
Wasn't it enough that the father bought the album for his daughter because she couldn't download it – a sale that the corporation would probably not otherwise of had?

Today is the greatest!
I picked up Adi's car seat! It's so super cute and makes me even more excited! She dropped last night and so we're getting closer all of the time. On top of that I met up with Shell for dinner, had some amazing grilled asparagus/steamed brocolli, killed my urge for bread with oil & vinegar AND scored a killer pedicure!
Thanks Shell for the royal treatment tonight!! I can now rest assuredly knowing that my feet will be as cute as feet can get during delivery (and now with the new seat at least I know they'll let me bring her home!!!) Get ready to play some serious catch ;)
I also was able to have lunch with Michelle and Mike today. She looks fabulous and her spirits are soaring despite her continual struggles with MS. The experimental treatment has given so much quality of life back. She is only the 13th person in the US to have it done given the intensity and frequency of her attacks. She is driving again and off to San Diego this weekend and I really am so excited for both she and Mike!
Sarah, I did greatly enjoy your sick and twisted randomness and I don't feel bad about interupting your workout! I got a good laugh without dry heaving so I'll forgive you!!! And just so you know, hairby did die. I'm not sure what motivated you to think of me but the fact that you put so much thought and energy into such a crazy little thing actually made me smile!
On the B Side: It feels good to laugh. It feels good to have friends. It feels good to have painted toe nails. It feels good to keep life simple.

Today my son lost Husband's wedding ring.
Husband was showering, and Son picked up his ring and said, "I have your ring, Daddy!" Husband proceeded to tell him, in a very stern voice, to put it down immediately.
Anyone who has a three year old – and really anyone reading this – already knows that that didn't happen.
Upon asking Son where the ring was, I was treated to the following answers:
In the potty.
In the sink.
I lost it.
In my potty.
In the drawer.
Not that drawer, that drawer.
On the roof.
At this point I assume he really cannot recall what he did with the ring.
So, we've been looking for it, saying "If I was a three-year-old what would I do with a ring?"
So, here's a list of places we already know it isn't.
It's not in the toilet.
It's not in the sink.
It's not in the potty seat.
It's not in the drawer.
It's not in that drawer, either.
It's also not in any of the three upstairs garbage pails, in his pocket or under the bed.
I'm assuming it's not on the roof. But if we don't find it tomorrow and Husband wants to go check, that's up to him.
If you see it, please let Husband know.

I finally found the time to post another part from our Koh Samui trip. This past week has been pretty busy as I've had to prepare for our stall at Camberwell Market!
On our fourth day of Koh Samui, we decided to start the day off be going off to Lamai so that I could get my finger nails done. Although I was impressed with her skills, I was left a tad disappointed probably because I regretted choosing my design. A few days later I rectified this by getting them re-done, justifying it by – I'm on holidays and it's super cheap anyways so why not.

Then we went to play our first escape game experience! Escapology is a live escape game where in pairs or in a group you are given a mission whereby you must complete by solving a series of clues. It is located just 5 minute drive from our resort so it was nice and close! Players get locked in a room for 60 minutes, find the clues, solve puzzles and riddles in order to unlock doors entering new rooms that contain new clues. Me and Kenny played the "Shanghaied" mission. We were told that if it was our first time, we might find it particularly difficult. Since our host would watch us from outside, she would come in at anytime during the game to give us hints if she saw us struggle. Let's just say that she had to do this for us more than a few times throughout the game – yes, it was difficult, and at times I just felt like giving up from feeling miserably dumb. Haha. Nevertheless, it was a worthwhile experience and definitely challenging.
After giving our brains a bit of a work out – we decided to hit the pools and take lots of typical infinity pool photographs.
To finish off today's perfectly relaxing day, we attended a buffet bbq our resort was hosting. We were seated high up by the water in the evening with pretty lights and a beautiful night time view of the dark breezy ocean.

Stay tuned for more parts of our Thailand trip!

Feast Your Eyes on Magpie's Cake
Magpie's Cake doesn't so much make tasty confections as they do edible works of art. Intricate, elaborate, and couture, the sweet little somethings are unlike any cake you've ever seen before.

Monkeying Around with Frozen BananasPosted: March 20, 2012 Filed under: desserts | Tags: bananas, dessert, food, ice cream, recipes 8 Comments
Here's something crazy. Crazy, I tell you! Did you know you can make ice cream with only ONE ingredient? And that one ingredient might just blow your mind:
Frozen bananas. See, totally crazy.
But it's true. I think a lot of people have probably seen this recipe, especially those who read a lot of food blogs, but I didn't really believe it worked until I tried it myself. You can make a creamy dessert that so closely resembles ice cream, you'll swear it's made with milk and cream and sugar. But it's just a few ripe bananas, frozen and then whipped up in a blender. I added a little bit of peanut butter to give it some extra flavor. I think a drizzle of honey would be pretty tasty. Or even some pieces of strawberries mixed in. You can monkey around and add in whatever you like.
Peanut Butter Banana Ice Cream
– 4 ripe bananas
– 2 teaspoons of smooth peanut butter
Peel and slice the bananas, and place on a small non-stick baking sheet. Freeze for 1 to 2 hours. Put the frozen banana slices in a food processor or blender, and puree until smooth and creamy. (If you're having a hard time getting it smooth, just add a tiny splash of milk.) Spoon the banana ice cream into a bowl and stir in the peanut butter. Eat right away for soft ice cream, or put into a freezer-proof container and freeze for a few more hours for hard ice cream.

This looks and sounds totally amazing, I have to make this. Who would think bananas could be so good.

Macron demands UN protection for baguette
The French baguette should be listed as a Unesco cultural treasure, says France's President Emmanuel Macron. "The baguette is the envy of the whole world," he said, in support of a national bakers' association that is promoting the application. The bakers have been inspired by the success of Italy's Naples pizza, which was protected by the UN's cultural body last year.

Article Text
It has been suggested that the use of a cumulative technique to obtain bronchodilator dose-response curves will cause a greater response than a non-cumulative technique, because sequential doses of drug will penetrate further into the lung. To test this hypothesis we have compared cumulative and non-cumulative dose-response curves for inhaled isoprenaline in 10 subjects with stable asthma, measuring FEV1, forced vital capacity (FVC), and peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR). With both techniques there was an increased response with increasing doses of isoprenaline for all the dose-response curves except for the non-cumulative PEFR response, which reached a plateau with the 20 micrograms dose. The area under the dose-response curve for FEV1 was significantly greater after cumulative administration of isoprenaline than with the non-cumulative technique. The increase in FVC and PEFR tended to be greater with the cumulative technique but the differences were not significant. This study confirms that the airway response to an inhaled beta agonist may be greater when a cumulative inhalation technique is used.

text: Hi, my name is Dezi and I'm from South Africa. Since 2004 I have battled with weight gain after a partial hysterectomy, got divorced shortly after that due to metal and physical abuse for 10 years. In 8 yrs I have gained 26 kg. I had 2 biological children and a foster child to take care off. I became very successful in my career, but in 2007 I apparently had burnout and since then I have had so many symptoms and no doctor or specialist has been able to diagnose me. I have been diagnosed with MS, Burnout to viral infection in my brain, to tumors in my brain back to burnout again. I suffer from dizziness, vertigo, fatigue, panic attacks, adrenal fatigue, insulin resistance, some sort of seizures where I will loose my vision, hearing, speech and balance. What I do know for a fact is that I have 2 leaking valves in my heart, I do have balance issues in the left bottom quadrant of my brain, high cholesterol, high insulin levels, under active thyroid gland, high estrogen levels, low testosterone levels and my adrenal glans are over producing. I have panic attacks where I feel like I'm loosing my mind and I am unable to move, I get these only when I start to fall as sleep. They can be for a few seconds up to hours. What concerns me about these attacks is that I become a danger to myself and anyone close to me, I'm scared I will harm someone or myself because I get these completely irrational though and I want to kill myself as a way out, when I come too I'm physically depleted and depressed ( shaken). I have stated my own business and as excited as I am I get so fatigued that I am unable to get out of bed or function properly for 3 days of the week. I'm generally a happy go lucky person but these symptoms are getting worse and scaring me. I'm on chronic medication - Lexamil - anxiety, Aspavor - Cholesterol, Omez - heartburn, Disprin cardiocare - heart, Diotroxin - thyriod and Glucophage - high insulin. I drink a over the counter sleeping pill S2 for insomnia. I tried going off the lexamil gradually but I ended up going psycho. If someone can help me to find out what exactly is wrong with me I would he so grateful. My daughter is 16 and my last baby in the house, I would like to be around to see all my grand children one day.

The Electrolux Home Food Waste survey reveals that 85% of Singapore households do not consume their food before the indicated date on food packing, contributing to mounting food waste in the city state.
This amounts to some S$170 (US$125.7) worth of food and beverage being thrown away by each household a year.
Annually, Singapore households trash about S$200 million worth of food and beverage.
According to the National Environment Agency, 791 million kg of food waste was generated in Singapore in 2016.
This marked a 41.5% increase over the past decade.
The study is the third edition of Electrolux Singapore's annual #HappyPlateSG community initiative, which started in 2015.
Previous years focused on consumption of 'ugly food' and finishing of meals to prevent food wastage.
This initiative aims to educate, and change consumers' mindsets that expiring and leftover food are not as tasty as fresh food.
Expiring and leftover food, from perishables such as fruits, vegetables, eggs, to packaged items such as canned meats and fruits, can still taste as good as the fresh ones when using creative cooking tips and recipes.
The Electrolux survey was commissioned in September 2017, and polled 1,000 households, representative of the Singapore population aged 18-65 years old.
The survey comprised a questionnaire of multiple-choice questions on consumers' understanding of food labels, consumption of food passed the indicated dates on packaging, acceptance towards such food, value of discarded food, and awareness on food waste.
Other highlights from the survey which polled 1,000 households:
– 20% would never consume food if it is passed the indicated date,
– 72% could attribute the meanings of 'Best Before', 'Sell By' and 'Expires On', demonstrating knowledge that food passed its indicated date did not necessarily mean it is unfit for consumption,
– 84% of households were shocked, guilty, sad and angry when confronted with the food waste that Singapore generates,
– 10% felt indifferent about it,
– 48% would continue eating the item if the taste or texture remained similar to the original, and
– 58% said they would do so if the items were frozen, vacuum sealed and stored well, and showed no signs of turning bad.

I can't believe I'm typing these words: we have reached the halfway point in our Spanish adventure. This realization has made me a bit anxious lately. I've started to feel a certain urgency about things. I want to study Spanish more intensely, I want to spend more time with the new friends we've made here in Granada, I want to explore the city more, I want to just sit at a café, drink some café con leche and soak up my surroundings. For now though, I am taking a very deep breath and reflecting on the amazing month we've just had.
The temporada de Navidad kicked off with a fabulous party hosted by our friends, the McKendry family. It was a wonderful mix of Granadinos and extrañeros, with good food, lots of conversation in both English and Spanish and a crazy white elephant gift exchange.
The following week brought an extra special holiday gift. Our friends from Avon, CT who we hadn't seen since we moved to Seattle in 2011 were visiting Spain, and came to Granada for the day. We were able to have a nice dinner with the Huber family and catch up on the past six years.
Good food, great friends!
The very next day, our family set off on our own trip, this time leaving Spain and exploring Europe over Christmas and into the New Year. I have to give a big "thank you" to Jason who planned the itinerary (airline tickets, bus tickets, train tickets, AirBNBs and hotels), made dinner reservations and scouted out activities for us at each destination. I supposed if all else fails, he can get a job as a travel agent when we return to Seattle.
Venice was magical.
Our first stop was Venice, Italy. We flew from Granada and arrived in Venice after dark. We chose to take the water bus from the airport to our rental apartment, and we are pretty sure the language barrier caused us to be dropped off about a thirty minute walk from where we needed to be. Walking through the "streets" of Venice at night was an experience we won't soon forget. It was dark, a little creepy and reminded me in no small way of a setting in an Edgar Allen Poe story. Daytime, however, was a different story. I could not get enough of the canals, the bridges, the architecture, and the Venetian glass. Oh, and the food! It's our family tradition to make our own pizza on Christmas Eve, but this year, we went to the source and let the Italians make it for us. Christmas day in Venice was wonderful. The owner of our rental made sure we had a Christmas tree (with three gifts already under it for our three children no less). Santa had no problem finding a place to put the kids' gifts (right in the new slippers they had received as part of their Christmas Eve pajamas). We made a really good breakfast, but unfortunately no one really liked the traditional "yule log" cake that Jason and I bought to replace our usual monkey bread that we have on Christmas morning. Ice skating, feeding the pigeons in St. Mark's square and a gondola ride were some of the memorable activities from our stay in Venice.
From Venice we took the train to Milan, Italy and spent just a couple days there indulging in even more Italian food and wine. We did get the chance to see Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper, which was pretty amazing.
The kids got the hang of train travel very quickly!
Another (ok, three) train ride(s) took us to Wengen, Switzerland for the New Year. Jason and Robbie spent three days skiing in the Alps, but surprisingly (or perhaps not, thanks to global warming?) all the snow there was manmade, so the runs were a little too advanced for Matthew, Gabi and me, who prefer nice wide runs that we can ski across, rather than the narrow runs that require much tighter skiing and snowboarding. But there was enough snow for snowball fights, more ice skating and a train trip up to the glacier of Jungfraujoch to more than make up for any missed skiing. The food in Switzerland was pretty delicious and we enjoyed a fondue dinner on New Year's Eve.
We couldn't go to Switzerland without having fondue.
Our last stop on this particular adventure was Paris, France. I was looking forward to seeing Paris, but I didn't expect to fall in love with it as much as I actually did. We took an electric bike tour the first day (electric bikes are awesome, and I highly recommend trying one out), and were able to familiarize ourselves with the city's layout in a few hours. Over the next few days, we spent an evening at the Louvre, an afternoon in the Montfortre neighborhood, visited the Eiffel Tower, and Lori took the kids to Disneyland Paris. (Looking back on the food poisoning experience Lori had at Disneyland, Jason definitely made the right decision by staying in the city center and exploring more of Paris' charms!) Paris is a beautiful city and we are so glad we were able to visit.
Best photobomb ever by our bike tour companion. And just a few Paris icons.
When we got back to Granada after all of our travels, Robbie was the one who actually said, "I really feel like we live here now." It only took about six months, but even Robbie is starting to feel like Granada is home. It helped that shortly after we returned we visited with a family from Australia who had just recently moved to Granada, whose son is now in Robbie's class at IES Albayzin. I think it's given Robbie some confidence to be able to show Cal around and to have someone with whom he can commiserate with as he navigates the rest of this crazy experience.
I'm a little sad that we've reached the halfway point in our year in Granada. However knowing all that we have done and learned thus far, I'm terribly excited to see what the next six months hold.

Last Sunday we went to the pumpkin patch for two reasons. The first was to pick out pumpkins, and we did that at the start of our visit. First Richard tracked down a huge orange one all covered in scars, and then I found one that looked as if it had been punched in the side, and there was quite the ordeal getting both pumpkins onto a cart - especially since we had to swap out carts with someone else because our super large pumpkins would not fit in the cart with sides, and the other people had only tiny little pumpkins and squash for their flat bed cart.
In the end, however, my side-punched pumpkin was significantly large enough that it was going to cost an arm and a leg, so after all that hassle, we left it by the side of aisle and found me a slightly smaller one, which I liked even better because this year I was taken with the white pumpkins instead of the orange ones.
The second reason for going to the pumpkin patch is, of course, the corn maze. In previous years we have either been in a hurry, or else have had other people with us - specifically other people with small children - so we have not been able to just wander aimlessly as we would have liked. This year, however, the only other members of our group decided to forego the corn maze in favor of picking out their own pumpkins. So we decided to do the right turn method of navigating - you turn right at each intersection with the theory that eventually this will lead you out. I did point out that this would only work if there were no squares in the maze made of intersecting perpendicular paths, but the chances of that being in a corn maze were fairly slim so we weren't too worried.
It's kind of fun to wander around in a corn maze, especially this year when the corn was so very tall and all you could see all around you were stalks and the path stretching forward and behind. We wandered aimlessly for quite a while, but eventually thirst got the better of us and we finally broke down and consulted the map.
The pumpkins (along with a few warty gourds) have been sitting on our front porch all week. This afternoon, we finally took care of that, and when it got dark out, we put in candles just to make sure they would look okay.

Special Brit Milah Laws
This week we have a double Parsha of תזריע-מצורע. There is a Pasuk that seems redundant regarding Brit Mila. After discussing a woman who has given birth to a male, the Torah says that on the eighth day he should be circumcised. We already know about this from Avraham Avinu.
Here the Torah is teaching that Brit Mila is done even if the eighth day is Shabbat. However, a baby born by Caesarian is not circumcised on Shabbat when it is the eighth day.
It is also interesting that a baby born during twilight time, or בין השמשות on Friday evening is not circumcised until Sunday. If that day was a Chag, then not until Monday. And if it was a two day Chag outside of Israel, then not until Tuesday, the eleventh day from birth.
This is why the Mishna says that a Brit can be on the eighth, ninth, tenth, or eleventh day.
Yesterday was fifteen with ספירת העומר. Chodesh Tov

The Challenger Channel
The Challenger Channel
I was at a conference a couple of weeks ago where a speaker talked about The Challenger Customer by Brent Adamson. She encouraged us to read it and of course, I did. The book has several great insights about the current B2B selling environment and since that's what Gotham does for a living I found it very interesting. Two of the author's key insights are:
- Customers are more consensus driven than ever. On average there will be 5.4 decision makers at each customer for each purchase.
- Customers are doing more homework before talking to suppliers. The average customer will be 57% through the sales cycle before contacting a supplier. That means that by the time a customer reaches out, most of the product selection, evaluation, and value definition is already done.
As the book processes these issues the author recommends that successful B2B suppliers will be prepared to add more value in the sales process with a larger number of contacts at the client. Many B2B salespeople have a process to find internal champions who are friendly and open to having meetings. Going forward it's also important to find contacts that can help form consensus within the 5.4 decision makers. This type of contact, who the book refers to as Mobilizers, will often be more difficult customers. They aren't necessarily higher titled individuals. They are influencers who are generally not open to having their time wasted by yet another free lunch with no valuable agenda.
Which brings us to the core of the books message, who is the "Challenger Customer"? The Challenger Customer is a customer who challenges us on our value proposition. They're not going to be easy. They're going to demand credible proof of value. The successful supplier will in turn challenge the customer's perceptions on value. If the decision is already made and you just want to show up, tell a few jokes, talk about the ball game last night and get an order, are you really helping the customer? If you can't tell the customer something he doesn't already know, don't bother.
Interestingly, the conference mentioned earlier was a reseller conference. This manufacturer had invited its top resellers to this conference to update them on product lines and sales strategies. They brought this book forward to illuminate their thinking about the marketplace. Surprisingly, they saw no correlation between the problem they were describing and the room full of people they were describing it to. As they're describing this problem to me, I was thinking, well isn't that what your value added reseller (VAR) community is for?
As a manufacturer, you're kind of stuck seeing the sales process as a specific campaign. So starting at 57% is a problem. As a VAR you have an ongoing relationship with your customers talking them through issues all the time. You should be early stage with everything.
As a manufacturer, you're looking to identify the key decision makers and form relationships with them. As a VAR, you've been working with the client for years and probably know most everybody. 5.4 contacts? With some of Gotham's larger customers, we have dozens and dozens of people that we have relationships with.
As a manufacturer, you have to earn your place at the table with insight and credibility. You have to somehow show up ready to be insightful and creditable with a customer you're meeting for the first time. And that credible insight can't just be about your product, it needs to be about the customer and their industry. Credible insight regarding how your product will work in their specific situation. A VAR who has a long term customer relationship has shown a history of insight and credibility through prolonged interaction and engagements. They also come with deep knowledge of the customer's business.
Not all customers are created equal, though. I had customer once tell me that with 15 minutes and a browser he could pretty much learn more about any given product than the salesperson coming to sell him that product. If you've got that kind of arrogance, you're probably not looking for insight from any vendor.
All channel partners are different too. Staying in touch with multiple contacts over the long haul at a client is an expensive proposition. Many channel players focus on cost effectiveness and simply provide a means of fulfillment at the lowest possible margin. Not a terrible plan but certainly not one filled with insight and credibility.
And finally, not all manufacturers need this kind of process. If you've been selling the same thing for years, your product is likely well understood by the market place. At this point you're probably responding to a lot of RFPs and focusing on providing the lowest possible cost product instead of differentiating it. Why pay the extra margin for VARs?
Obviously, as a VAR, I'm not an unbiased data source. But, reading the book, I think the VAR way of doing things just might be winning out.

This past weekend, I had the opportunity to attend a workshop led by Kate Shela called 'Revolution.' The workshop was a version of the heartbeat map in the practice of '5 Rhythms Dance.' It was designed to help us connect and remember what we stand for. What do you stand for? What is the medicine bundle that we bring into the world? Who are our heroes? Who are our sheroes? We were taken on a journey through fear to courage, anger to joy, and into a declaration of who and what we stand for.
A lot came up, so here are the lessons I learned and what I was reminded of. First off, there is no teacher or other person out there who is above you. You know deep within. Your body contains a deep intelligence. When you are embodied—when you allow yourself to be in yourself, two feet on the ground, rooted, present—you know. Listen to that knowing and let it guide you. We each have a unique path. Be discerning of anyone who makes you feel inferior or claims to be more wise then you. Wisdom is humble. Wisdom is confident in its statement and truth, yet is never overpowering or controlling. Allow yourself to receive the message when you feel the volume rise in your beating heart. Trust in that. But also know that just because something is true for you doesn't mean it is for others, and be okay with that. There are many diverse perspectives and truths. Listen to them, respect them, learn from them, but never adopt what does not ring true to what you know in every cell of your body.
Within our greatest wounds reside our gifts. The pain, anger, shame, and emotions that arise around the wounds are there to be felt fully. Sometimes I have stop myself from feeling the truth of those emotions—just to be nice, or not to create drama, or because I'm fucking scared.
I walked onto the dance floor. I was feeling so much judgment for myself for signing up, for all of the people who I saw, and then I zoned into a man in a kilt. From my perspective, he appeared to resemble a Viking. He carried a very loud and intense (I had thought) type of energy. He scared me and I didn't want to dance anywhere near him. I felt as if he would get more intense and aggressive in my presence. During the first day, Kate guided us into our fears. She asked us to grab a partner. At first I got nervous, hoping I wasn't near the man I felt so scared of. Then I saw another man beside me, who was supposed to be my partner. I felt really scared and upset, and I didn't want to dance with him. Tears streamed down my face as I felt so many of my fears rising to the surface, like the release of a bunch of weights or anchors thrown deep into the sea. They all rose to the surface. All I could do was move. So I let my body take on the shapes it needed to express. Instantly, one of the space holders came close and started to dance with me. She was my partner until my sister Sarah came to dance with me. Their warmth made my heart smile and I felt safe. That is good space holding. From the depths of my fear, I found a place of deep sadness. I felt the fear of abandonment, being left out, being lonely, unworthy, apologetic, worthless. I found a place that didn't truly believe in me. I called bullshit on myself. I took the shit and smeared it on my body like a mud bath.
Kate's words then echoed in my mind. "Smear yourself with the shit of your wounds, cover yourself in seeds, and grow from it." I covered myself in hundreds of sprouting seeds and I started to feel the volume rise. I could hear my heartbeat again. I followed the leaf as we sprouted from the seed of my dreams. The music rose within me. Together a wave of courage, belief, and fearlessness started to climb, like multiple parts and instruments in a beat. I embodied the feeling of standing in the face of my fear. I could feel a power. A strength. A vulnerability, but a crazy amount of strength.
Suddenly, I started to notice when the man in the kilt was around and I stopped running and hiding. I stood in the energy of the fear I had been scared of. I suddenly began to stand in myself. Not just stand in it but dance in it. My movements said "this is me! Fucking take it or leave it." I started to see that the man in the kilt was a good person after the mask of fear was torn off. Thank you to the man in the kilt, and to the dance floor for helping me to feel in my body what it's like to be a survivor, to rise out of fear and sprout into power, vulnerability, and strength. At the end of the 3 day workshop, the man in the kilt approached me. He shared with me that when he first saw me, he thought I was a beautiful woman who wouldn't give him the time of day. I may have come off as stuck up, or a closed off girl. He shared that after being on the dance floor, he had realized that I wasn't what he had projected. He apologized for making me into something I was not. He also took full responsibility for raising the volume of his intensity around me. I shared my perspective and we left human to human. We had the understanding and mutual respect of two people who would have stayed separate in the real world.
I declare that I am a visionary, leader, and storyteller.
The time has come to own my gifts fearlessly.
What do you declare? What do you stand for?

So far the last week me and Niamh had been working on building a little tool that can check for a variable number of Twitter entries, for a certain topic, depending on what RFID tag you scan on front of the scanner.
We experimented with displaying the entries on screen in a number of different ways, how many entries to return, font size, font colour, alpha & positioning and things like that.
After a lot of tweaking and missing around the tool now displays the latest 100 twitter entries on Chuck Norris, Patrick Stewart, Steven Seagal, Nick Nolte or The Epic Beard Man depending on which one of five RFID tags we scan.
Its kinda just an out-there experiment at the moment but I can see how it could have practical uses, such as scanning a products bar-code to see what people are saying about it online and things like that.

Vibrational States in Being (Frequency States)
General Background information
I've written about vibrations before, stating that everything is a manifestation of vibrating energy. Other teachers speak to this fact as well, for instance Abraham, as brought forth by Esther Hicks, often says we are vibrational beings and that the law of attraction is a vibrational law.
I've stated before that a characteristic of energy is that it vibrates and that there is a scale of frequencies for this vibrational energy. I don't know the range of this scale, as far as I know, it could be infinite, but I do know that within that scale are specific frequencies which are consistent and persistent. That is to say, for instance, the frequency of 1 Hz is always 1 Hz. It is consistent and persistent. So with this understanding, one can extrapolate this understanding and apply it to every frequency within the scale of vibrational energy. Whatever the defined frequency is, it is consistent and persistent. (This is very important to grasp and understand.) This is important because if you can identify a specific frequency, you can attune to it, and by attuning to it, you can experience that frequency. And, if you can experience that frequency, you can remember it, and if you can remember it, you can choose to experience it again by recalling the memory of it and thereby attuning to it once again, drawing it into your sphere of experience. If you don't have a conscious memory of a specific frequency, you can become aware of it by searching for it. So for instance, while you don't consciously know what the 1 Hz frequency feels like, you can know that it does exist. Knowing that it does exist enables you to seek it out, or attune to it which brings us to the idea of attraction about which Abraham primarily speaks.
Everything is a manifestation of vibrational energy. What we perceive through our senses in this human body, are not just one frequency at a time, but a multitude of frequencies in combination which present, express and therefore are experiencable to us as our life in human beingness.
Within the scale of frequencies, there are ranges of frequencies or spectrums which are generally and broadly identifiable as light, sounds, taste, smell and touch. And narrowing those ranges down, for example, one can experience within the light spectrum a range of colors, within the spectrum of sound, one can experience a range of sounds and the same is true of taste, smell and touch. In other words, there isn't just one frequency of light, but derivations of that spectrum of frequencies which we experience through our human senses as what we perceive as colors also in a range from magnitude and intensity. (Dark and bright being magnitude or intensity of the specific frequency.) In the same way, each spectrum (sound, taste, touch, smell,) encompasses variations which each can be experienced with varying intensity.
Within the total spectrum of vibrational energy one can expect an infinitely rich and diverse library of unique vibrational states which are available and therefore experiencable. Remember, each of these vibrational states is consistent and persistent.
What I identify as myself, in this human body, as Jerry Dechant, is a compilation of vibrational energy in being. As I consistently identify with and therefore attune to this mix of vibrational energy in expression, I maintain my "identity" as Jerry Dechant, recognizable to those who perceive me as the same Jerry Dechant they've met or known before. This is not really true though, because I am really not the same vibrational mix now as I was a moment ago, the truth is, neither are you. While we may remain substantially the same, we are constantly adjusting, remixing, re-attuning vibrationally from moment to moment.
A sense which most humans don't understand as a sense, and therefore may not effectively make use of is what we identify as emotions. Similar to the other senses, there is an emotional scale of vibrations or a spectrum of vibrational energy expression. Emotional experiences may generally be understood as good feelings and bad feelings. These emotional sensations are actually feedback which enables us to actively attune to a chosen frequency or compilation of frequencies. The emotional sensations therefore are indicators which inform us of our proximity to our point of attention and or focus. That last statement is true only when we understand the function of emotional sensations. If we don't understand why we have emotional experiences, we may erroneously attribute these experiences. An example of this idea is may be expressed as follows, "You make me so very happy!" or on the other end of the spectrum, "You really piss me off!" If you adopt the understanding expressed by these statements, you will want that other person to be present all the time because he/she "makes you very happy" and if you want to remain very happy, you will need that person to continue to make you very happy, won't you?
Also, if you believe that someone pisses you off, you will want to avoid that person unless you enjoy being pissed off.
The results of this misunderstanding of the emotional experiences are very different than the results when a proper understanding of these emotional sensations is grasped.
If you understand that the emotional experience of being "very happy" is an indicator of being attuned to what you desire, you will understand that the experience of being very happy isn't given to you by someone else, but rather the result of being attuned to your own desire.
Likewise, the experience of being "pissed off" is an indicator of being very far out of attunement with what you desire. With the proper understanding, one can avoid getting very pissed off by monitoring the emotional sensations and if these experiences begin to move towards being pissed off, redirecting attention and focus so that instead of moving further out of alignment with your desire, you again move towards your desire.
In this way, the emotional sensations are our navigation system which enable us to effectively move through the infinite range of vibrational experiences as life unfolds within us, around us and before us.
States: Attracting, Neutral and Repelling
Attracting State
Part of the problem people have with effectively using the law of attraction is they don't adequately understand the emotional experiences as a guidance system. They don't understand the nature of vibration, therefore they may want something very strongly, but because they lack the valuable understanding of their emotional experiences, they may not effectively attract what they desire.
To correct this, I suggest understanding and experiencing what the state of attracting feels like. How that manifests for you in your life experience may be uniquely yours, but the feeling of the attraction state is one of those persistent and consistent frequencies, which once you know about and attune to, will facilitate the effective application of the law of attraction within your life experience.
This requires an experiential knowing. So, you will have to find this Attracting State within your own being by first thinking about this attracting state vibration. What does this vibrational state feel like? If feels like your presence is drawing to you like a magnet draws metal particles to it's surface. Generally, this attracting state feels very good or what might be understood as positive emotional experiences. The magnitude of this feeling is determined by your attunement with the attracting state frequencies. There is very little if any effort necessary when attuned to this vibrational state in being. The only effort necessary is that of applying attention and focus upon that which you desire.
Take a few minutes right now to sit quietly, with your eyes closed to find the attracting state feeling. Once you find it, attune to it, and reside there for a time so that you become more familiar with this sensation.
Neutral State
The Neutral State is the state where there is no attracting or repelling occurring. One can maintain a neutral state and move through life neither attracting nor repelling anyone or anything. This is a peaceful state, a relaxed state. This is the state you are in when you aren't actively attracting or repelling vibrational expressions. In this state, it is easy to move through a crowd of people without attracting or repelling anyone, which is experienced as easily moving through the crowd.
Take a few minutes right now to sit quietly, with your eyes closed to find the neutral state feeling. Once you find it, attune to it, and reside there for a time so that you become more familiar with this sensation.
Repelling State
This is an unnatural state because our natural state is to attract. Because this is an unnatural state, it is the state which requires a great deal of energy to maintain. It is like being in a river with a very strong current, and trying to swim against the current. It is certain the current of the river is more consistent and persistent than the individual is able to move against it. This state therefore includes a great deal of struggle, frustration and fatigue.
Even though the Repelling state is unnatural, you are probably more familiar with this state than the other two, in particular if your life has been a struggle, if you've experienced frustration over and over again, and or if you are constantly exhausted.
You may take a few minutes right now to sit quietly, with your eyes closed to find the repelling state. Once you find it, attune to it so that you have an actual experience of how unnatural this state is.
Now that you've experienced these states, (I hope you did take the time to experience them as I suggested,) the next step is to actively and or intentionally move from one state to another.
If you are predominately experiencing the repelling state, actively focus upon attuning to the neutral state because that is the easiest state to access from the repelling state. All you have to do is relax. Relaxing is letting go, putting aside any concerns, issues or intentions other than just being here now. Breathe easily. Take an easy deep breath, and then just let it go.
Actively attuning to these states.
Actually, if you participated in the suggested experiences, you actively attuned to each one of these vibrational states. You may therefore understand how to intentionally attune to these states, or move out of one state into another. This is done through present moment awareness and conscious intentional focus of attention.
The neutral state is an excellent vibrational state to attune to because it enables you to "energize" yourself. It is also be an excellent state to observe from. Observe your physical sensations, your surroundings and people from this neutral state. Observe your emotional experiences from this neutral state in particular when you observe thoughts which come drifting through your field of consciousness.
To be an effective applier of the law of attraction, you will certainly want to actively attune to the attracting state primarily and secondarily the neutral state for your periods of rest. If you primarily reside in either of these two states, you will likely begin to find your energy level increasing, your ability to accomplish a great deal with minimal effort and maximum enjoyment will become the norm for you.
I think a better word is Homeplay. I'd rather play than work, so lets begin to call it Homeplay instead of homework.
For your homeplay, practice actively attuning to the attracting state. Think about it, feel it, let it encompass your being. Reside within this state. Alternately, practice attuning to the neutral state. Like anything else, the more you practice, the more you play within these vibrational states, the easier it is to maintain them and or enter them at will.
The results will be amazing, to say the least. There is a cornucopia of fulfillment awaiting your accepting it into your life experiencing. Residing in the state of attracting also implies a relaxed open state where that which you've previously expressed a desire for easily and effortlessly is drawn into your life experience.
As you play within this state of attraction focus upon what you desire rather than what you want to avoid or don't want. Whatever you focus upon within this state will be drawn to you, so be mindful of what you are attracting.
The last but not least important point to reiterate is to be mindful of what you focus upon and intentionally focus upon what you desire.
Dreams DO come true, it will happen to you!
Best regards,

MT. PLEASANT, Mich. - The American Baseball Coaches Association announced its All-Region selections and four players were honored for play during the 2014 season, and Head Coach Doug Fleetwood was named the Coach of the Year for the South Region.
Juniors Brett Collacchi and Kyle Hayman were named to the First Team, senior Johnny Schiotis to the Second Team and junior Kyle Hamby to the Third Team.
With Monday's win against No. 20 Case Western Reserve University to advance to the College World Series, Collacchi improved his record to 12-1 with a 2.48 ERA. His 12 wins tie for the most in a single season by a Sea Gull hurler, matching the mark set by Brian Brushe in 1977. The Bear, Del., native has worked 90 2/3 innings and has struck out a team-high 58 batters.
Hayman has been the catalyst for the Sea Gull offense, leading the team with a .425 average this season, which is the ninth-best average by a Sea Gull in program history. The Wilmington, Del., product has scored a team-high 55 runs and leads the squad with 28 stolen bases. Each of those totals rank Hayman in the top 30 among Division III players.
Schiotis is sixth on the team with a .345 average and is fifth on the team with 33 RBIs. The Levittown, Pa., native has scored 32 runs this season and has stolen 10 bases.
Against Case Western Reserve on Monday, Hamby earned his ninth save of the season and 12th in his career, which puts him at No. 1 on the Sea Gulls' all-time leaderboard. The Laurel, Md., native has worked 24 2/3 innings and has struck out 23 batters. Along with his saves, the righty has earned three wins as well.
Fleetwood has led the Sea Gulls to a 37-7 record so far this season, with the team advancing to its fourth appearance in the College World Series. The Sea Gulls finished the season with an 11-5 record in the conference, but went on to win the Capital Athletic Conference tournament for an automatic bid in the NCAA tournament. For his career, Fleetwood is 476-145-6 in 14 seasons at Salisbury. He has guided his teams to the NCAA tournament in each season at the helm and has captured 10 CAC championships.
Click here to see the ABCA All-South teams.
The Sea Gulls will open play in the College World Series today, Friday, May 23, taking on No. 5 State University of New York at Cortland. That contest is scheduled to begin at 4:30 p.m., eastern time, in Appleton, Wis.

In a posting made some time ago (Saving the planet – 3 or 4 CD's at a time) I discussed the usefulness – and convenience – of being able to have one USB memory stick host several distros and utilities in a multi-boot format. The only odd thing about this was that, although the operating systems and utility packages to be loaded onto the USB drive were all Linux based, the program (YUMI) used to actually build the multi-boot drive ran under Windows. It struck me at the time that there ought to be a Linux utility that would do the same job. Now there is. Say hello to multisystem.
Instructions on how to install multisystem on the program's web site(s) are sparse but, fortunately, there is an excellent set of instructions on pendrivelinux.com (http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/). Given that pendrivelinux are the authors of Yumi, this is a little surprising but, nonetheless, the instructions work flawlessly. Their web page also includes detailed information on how to run multisystem in order to build a multi-boot drive.
One issue I had when running Linux Mint was that the installation script wouldn't run in Terminal and instead demanded to have xterm available. Once the latter was installed using Software Manager, multiboot was readily installed, complete with a menu entry under Applications – Accessories.
Running multisystem requires the identification of a target USB drive, and will result in a warning that grub will be written to the drive's master boot record (MBR). Clearly you should allow this since the grub menu will ultimately be used to select the system that is to be booted from the available options. Further warnings and permissions (sudo password) are required as the process of writing systems to the USB drive continues.
Installing a new distro or a bootable application (e.g. Gparted) onto the USB drive is quite simple. Firstly you download the relevant ISO file from the source. Then you run multisystem, so that its main window is displayed on the screen. Now, using the local file manager, you navigate to the folder containing the downloaded ISO file, drag it, and drop it into the lower pane of the multisystem window. Enter root's password at the prompt and multisystem completes the installation process.
With multiple items added to the USB drive, booting from the drive produces a menu of the available options, with the individual entries organized by category.
So, with multisystem, you can create a multiboot USB drive – without leaving Linux!

Been awhile since the last blog post (April 9th). WR has been tasked with some major miniature projects for end of May and produce a HMGS-PSW convention gaming event in June. These projects have sucked all WR's time for the last few weeks prevent WR from his normal Army of the month and game scenarios posts.
May into June project list includes:
1). Re-base WR's Ancient Indian army for a Clash of Empires 28mm game May 27th. A sub-continent Ancient Indian vs. Ancient Indian game with all the elephants, chariots and massed Indian spear and bowmen an ancients gamer could want. Currently, WR's Ancient Indians need some TLC and basing for WAB/COE gaming. A small project…. about 400 28mm miniatures. Easy… rabbit doesn't need sleep… pass the spackle paste please. [Done]
2). Finish up basing WR's recently painted American Flames of War 20mm infantry. Two American rifle companies, two American armored rifle companies and their various support platoons. Yes, this old rabbit plays FOW (since 2004) but in 20mm scale. Different from the FOW community in 15mm for sure but a grand convention spectacle every time. FOW is a hit with WR's son Daniel… he enjoys modern period gaming generally over the old horse and musket or ancients periods. A recent HMGS-PSW FOW 20mm game if interested: Breaking the San Fratello line; Sicily 1943 Link.
3). Finish April's game AAR for the Battle of Granicus 334 BC (28mm Clash of Empires) report. Once WR has the army rosters spreadsheets from David K.. this AAR draft with game photos is complete and ready for warren posting. [Done]
4). Start work on the massive Battle of Ligny 1815 HMGS-PSW convention game (scheduled for June 30th). This includes organization of the players, organize the miniatures (about 1500 25/28mm required), design and construct some special terrain and create the scenario with tabletop map. No sweat for this old rabbit. Roughed out map design done, 95% of the miniatures located in the group's collections. Just need to write-up the scenario preview and post. After the game is played in June, the normal AAR to follow. [Done]
5). Complete the overhaul of our gaming group's Napoleonic game roster spreadsheet. This ties in with the Ligny 1815 project above and future posted game scenarios. Last night I finished the Beta1.3 version which has added features of artillery commanders and engineer officers. A vast improvement over the antique club roster system in previous use. Better format, spaces for actual commander portraits, nation flags, casuality tray command ID "folded tents", summary data section etc. A small spreadsheet…. just 7 MB worth of excel roster template material. Posted to the WR's Napoleonic Game Rules and Files section of blog. Link. Just scroll down to find the new excel (Napoleonic Large Army/Corp and Small Army/Corp versions) file link. [Done]
6). Prep for the normal Napoleonic 3rd Sat of the month game on May 19th. I foresee a midnight, last-minute special, coming on…. maybe Spanish and their no brains commanders… WR will be acting the part on saturday. [Done]
Cheers from the warren. More to come soon. I need some sleep.

Santa Rosa belongs to SCA
"What does the Sonoma County Alliance PAC have in common with the Press Democrat, the Santa Rosa Police Officers and Firefighters Associations?"
And it answers on the other side,
"We all support these four candidates for Santa Rosa City Council!"
Below are pictures of campaign signs for Jane Bender, Mike Martini, Lee Pierce, and John Sawyer .
I don't know how much the mailer cost, or how the four Council candidates reported SCAPAC's contribution. But the mailer posed a very pertinent question.
So what does SCAPAC have in common with the PD, the Santa Rosa Police Officers Association, and the Santa Rosa Firefighters? And what do they have in common with the four Council candidates listed, including the two incumbent Councilmembers?
The short answer is that almost all of them belong to the Sonoma County Alliance.
The Press Democrat is not an SCA member, nor is Council candidate John Sawyer. Councilmember Jane Bender was listed as a member this April, but no longer is listed. But Martini, Pierce, and both the SR Police and Firefighters associations, are all current SCA members.
The Sonoma County Alliance is the principal countywide lobby for growth and development. It's a sort of Sonoma County Chamber of Commerce--the Santa Rosa Chamber itself is just one of its members. Its leading members are developers and business leaders who stand to make money from continuous growth and development in Santa Rosa and Sonoma County.
The SCA was almost a secret society until this April. If you wanted to know about it, you pretty much had to be a member, or know one well enough to borrow its Membership Directory. But in April it completed a website that had been "Under Construction" indefinitely. Jim Chabaan, PG&E's governmental and PR coordinator for the North Coast, is the current SCA President; and the site is "sponsored by a generous donation from PG&E".
Go here to learn more about the SCA and its members: http://www.sonomacountyalliance.com/default.asp . You can learn about the SCA's Leadership, and search the Membership by Business Type, Company Name, or Last Name.
One Business Type is Elected Official. Listed officials who belong to the SCA are Sonoma County Supervisors Valerie Brown, Paul Kelley, and Tim Smith; Sheriff Bill Cogbill; Santa Rosa Councilmember Bob Blanchard; SR School Board member Wally Lowry; and Healdsburg Councilmember Lisa Schaffner.
But that list is not complete. Three other SR Councilmembers belong to the SCA along with Blanchard. Mayor Sharon Wright is listed as both a Developer and an Individual member, employed by Aegis Senior Living. Janet Condron is an Individual member. Mike Martini is listed under Taft Street Winery, his private business in Sebastopol.
City staff members also belong to the SCA. Listed under Association are Eric Goldschag and the Santa Rosa Police Officers Association. So are Mike Jones and the Santa Rosa Firefighters. And so are Tony Alvernaz and the Santa Rosa City Employees Association. In fact, Goldschag, Jones, and Alvernaz are all on the SCA Board of Directors; and Goldschag and Alvernaz are on the Board's Executive Committee!
It's no surprise that a majority of the City Council, and the City's Police, Fire, and Employees Associations, belong to the Sonoma County Alliance. Current Mayor Sharon Wright, retiring from the Council in December after 12 years, was the SCA's paid Executive Director from the late '80s until 2001. The SCA hired Mike Martini as Executive Director about a year later--when he was Mayor--and he worked for them until this summer.
It looks like the City of Santa Rosa belongs to the Sonoma County Alliance--and SCAPAC is paying to keep it that way.
