Seems like a good time to give you a long overdue "thank-you" for your incredible site. Not only have you introduced me to amazing music but the "internet subversion" list and "Good Blogs R Us" are invaluable resources in their own right. Apologies for my ingratitude until now. One day I hope to have thanked all my bookmarks.
BTW, glad to know most of your daughter, dog, one lung and most of your ribs remain intact. My condolences regarding your car and your sanity.
- 10 August 2015 at 20:42
Yes, I had wondered what had happened to you. You seem to be in good spirits despite all. Haven't lost your sense of humor (although you might before that hospital stay is over with and the bill hits you).
You've posted some really interesting and worthwhile stuff and I thank you for it. Get well soon.

Bloody hell - bit of a shocker to reAd wiv me breakfast. So glad you (and your daughter and the dog) survived to blog another day. The interwebs would be a much duller place sans Jonny Z x
- 11 August 2015 at 12:28
- Jonny Zchivago said...
Deeply touched all. Especially like references to 'a sense of humour'.This all too often goes straight over some peoples heads, missing the point completely,and getting offended? the Interweb is a far duller place than it used to be, as creative writing seems to be under the cosh of fear.
I am recovering well,sitting in the sun reading John 'drumbo' French's book on Captain Beefheart. Good medicine.
- 11 August 2015 at 13:31
Get well quickly and thanks for thre excellent site.

Could have done worse in the pit at some of the performances you've posted (Bill's feeble attempt at humor)-glad you're recovering and your daughter is OK!--Bill

There's not enough "Jonny Zchivagos" in this world, glad you are still with us. Must have been terrifying, please get well soon.

Holy shit, glad you're on the mend and your daughter was ok! Cheers for posting some early live PiL, which I haven't heard before (I think when it comes to live PiL, I've pretty much only heard the one that ends in a riot, when they played behind a curtain... can't be bothered looking it up).
French music that's not naff or overly pretentious... hmmm... I like a bit of Heldon on their more industrial side, and I do like the Besombes-Rizet double album... other than that my knowledge is a bit sketchy.
All the best for full & swift recovery. Many thanks for all the music you share, and the writeups which are just as enjoyable!
- 11 August 2015 at 19:53
That's scary and as many others here, I'm glad that everybody is ok. Get well, man and thanks a lot for making me discover these musical gems.
- 11 August 2015 at 19:57
Glad to hear you're OK.
- 11 August 2015 at 20:27
Holy shit! And here I was getting ready to post some smart-assed comment wondering if you had been so deeply moved by your last post (Todd - With Love...) that it had left you stunned to silence, Glad I waited and I'm so sorry to learn what really happened. So now all I can think to say is I'm glad to hear everyone else was unharmed and that frankly, given the injuries you sustained, you're still alive! No doubt healing's going to take a lot of time. Well, that's all that matters now. If posting stuff helps with the boredom, then know you have a captive audience! Hope you make it back home soon.
- 11 August 2015 at 21:32
As someone had all ready noted there are not enough people like you in the world today. Best of luck with all of the medical costs (I deeply sympathize) and I am glad that you will be all right someday. Keep on keepin on.

Jesus, I was scrolling down the blog in a half-awake state and saw the PiL post and the 38 comments and thought you must have posted an unreleased PiL album to garner that many comments! Anyway, sorry for the delayed response, I thought you had gone on a well deserved extended hiatus after the Todd post and would be back in a month or two.
On one level it feels synthetic and false to say I was deeply shocked and concerned upon reading about your near-fatal car accident as we are complete strangers to each other in the traditional sense, but the raw emotional reaction to the news was the same as if it was a friend and their family I had read about.
There are too few good people left in the blogging world and you really are one of the good guys. Your humour, commentary and of course, excellent music taste would be terribly missed as the number of genuinely moving comments above show.
PS> Hope you are in line for some serious compensation as 800 Euros a day charge is beyond belief.
All the best to you, your family and unscathed mutt!
- 27 August 2015 at 12:36
- Jonny Zchivago said...
Many thanks for your touching words mate! This accident very nearly fucked everything up. I'm still a bit dodgy in the brain,doing things I had no idea I did! Apparently its a symptom of concussion;so forgive me if i start writing something even more shite than i normally do....its the concussion.....i think?. My lung now works again after two op's,so i'll probably live on. My mutt has now overcome his car phobia,and is his old self again.
The comments from all you lot has more than compensated for all this,again i am humbled,and despite my usual cynicism, I have encountered nothing but the positive side of the human character ever since that shit day.Even the bloke who nearly killed me is ok, as he frantically tried to get me out of the wreck......apparently,as i can't remember. Don'y worry I ain't turning hippy!I'll be back

Last year in November we finished out the year of yard garden work with celebrations. We also did evaluations of the work with the participants and planning for 2014. We held a set of meetings in Léogâne (30 mile west of Port au Prince) the third week of November and in Verettes (about two and a half hours north of Port au in the Artibonite Valley) the fourth.
With funding from the project that paid for the food and some of the extras--a generator for loudspeakers and a deejay, for example--the participants planned their programs to recognize the work that the participants had done and to present that work to a larger community. In Léogâne the participants decided to hold one large celebration near the urban center, with between 70 and 80 guests, including visitors from three major non-governmental organizations. In Verettes, the participants chose to hold three separate and generally smaller celebrations, with most participants coming from the surrounding communities.
The first celebration in Verettes was held for the participants and their invited guests from the low-lying communities of the municipality, mostly members of ODEVPRE (Organization for the Protection of the Environment and Development of Verettes). A second was held by the organization MRPST (Movement of Farmers without Land Calling for their Rights) in their base community of Dofine, about 600 m above sea level. The third celebration was organized by an ODEVPRE farmers' group high in the mountains in a community called Dekonb, about 1000 m above sea level. Getting to this particular celebration was interesting--the road was worse (!!!) than I had remembered. But once we were there, it was definitely the most fun.
Here are some photos and a conclusion at the bottom. Unless otherwise indicated, photos by Herve Delisma and Mark Hare.
Goursse (left, standing) from the Haitian Diocese of the Episcopal Church also helped lead the program
Father Goursse shared a Biblical reflection based on Genesis 2:15, "The LORD God put the man in the garden of Eden to cultivate it and care for it." Cindy Correl, fellow PCUSA mission coworker provided the contact that made Goursse's participation possible and attended with him. Photo by Cindy Correl.
You know you are in Haiti when the impromptu dancing starts. This was the celebration in Dofine, organized by the leaders of MRPST. Katelyn Leader (far right) is a friend currently working in Port au Prince who asked to be part of this craziness. She bravely trouped along with the rest of us, sleeping in three different beds in as many nights, as we moved from celebration to celebration in Verettes.
The display table in Dofine, Verettes, with the main organizers arranged behind. The buckets on each side contain sugar cane and tayo. The table has hot peppers, green bell peppers, grapefruit, eggplant, papaya and a coconut. It should also have had rice, beans and water cress, three of the main crops produced in the intricate irrigation system the community of Dofine has developed.

The yard garden program is not about making huge changes in peoples' lives. It is about making small, daily changes that are consistent, persistent and positive, without being intrusive. The program is about helping people recognize the power they have to learn to do something useful with what they already have at hand, and about sharing their knowledge with the people around them. It is also about learning to celebrate the small successes, while praying and struggling for the big ones.

Looking for flat in Mecidiyeköy close to metrobüs (Istanbul)
Hi Everyone,
I am looking for a reasonably priced Protected content 2+1 in Mecidiyekoy. Needs to be reasonably priced and not one of these ridiculously overpriced expat places. I have a modest income. I have been to all the classified ad websites and there are just so many places! I don't know where to start. I would prefer to rent from someone who is connected on here or knows of a reputable flat owner.
Anyway, I am looking for a flat that is close to the Metrobus line - I have long commute to the Asian side. Plus I would like something with a balcony. No ground floor apartments, please! I hate those bars on the windows.
If anyone can connect me with a reputable emlak or knows a wonderful landlord please PM me or respond to this post.
Thank you!!

The Catholic Action League of Massachusetts today criticized the decision of Fontbonne Academy in Milton, the Catholic secondary school administered by the Sisters of Saint Joseph, to reach a legal settlement with Matthew Barrett, who was declined for the position of Food Services Director at the school after he lied in a job interview, and then revealed he had entered into a same gender civil 'marriage.'
In a July 9, 2013 interview at Fontbonne, Barrett—who had previously worked in the Milton Public Schools—responded affirmatively when told that all school employees were considered "ministers of the mission," and that he would be expected to model Catholic teachings and values. He then listed on an emergency contact form his so-called 'husband.'
When refused the position, Barrett sued the school for gender and sexual orientation discrimination in employment, and was represented by the Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders, (GLAAD).
In a December 16, 2015 decision for the plaintiff, Norfolk Superior Court Associate Justice Douglas H. Wilkins ruled that the Catholic school enjoyed no constitutional protections in this matter, and that neither the ministerial exception, nor the religious exemption to the 1989 Massachusetts "Gay Rights" law applied.
Fontbonne failed to appeal the decision, allowing it to stand, and, as part of the settlement, financially compensated Barrett.
The Catholic Action League called the school's surrender "an act of appeasement which will have chilling implications for the religious freedom rights of Catholic institutions."
Catholic Action League Executive Director C. J. Doyle commented: "If left unchallenged, this ruling will coerce Catholic institutions, in Massachusetts, at least, to hire those who not only reject Catholic moral teachings, but who believe those teachings to be bigotry, hatred and homophobia."
"More disturbingly, Judge Wilkins, in his decision, asserted that the ministerial exception extended only to the school's administration, chaplaincy, and faculty of theology. Catholic education, however, involves teaching philosophy, history, ethics, social science, political science, and languages from a Catholic perspective. Now, under threat of civil penalties, Catholic schools may be compelled to hire and pay those who repudiate and despise that perspective to instruct Catholic students."
"Fontbonne's decision is disappointing, but not surprising. For most Catholic preparatory schools, colleges and universities, fidelity to Catholic moral teachings comes in a distant third to institutional fundraising and fashionable, culturally conforming academic liberalism.
Nonetheless, the silence of the Archdiocese of Boston, the Massachusetts Catholic Conference, the Congregation of the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Boston, and of Fontbonne Academy itself demonstrates an appalling lack of courage in the face of a calculated aggression against the constitutional rights of the Catholic community."
"The time has come for Catholics to cease drawing artificial distinctions between sexual orientation and sexual behavior, and between sexual orientation and same sex 'marriage.' As Judge Wilkins has lucidly pointed out, such attempts at middle ground are no longer sustainable."

How will you know that a selected technique will serve you the best? Here are crisp and useful tips on how to easily conduct market research using online resources:
1. Identify Business Motive
Before using any of the tactics and tools, try to understand what you are exactly looking for. Do you wish to penetrate an existing operating environment? Is your product/service new to people? Who can be your target audience? How much can you afford to invest? What are the current likes and dislikes of consumers? Who are your probable competitors? What are the psychographic and demographic details? These are few of the questions that you can answer for your market research. Think of questions that relate to your goal, and desired end product.
2. Bank on Logical Flow of Events
Now that you are clear on the questionnaire, answer them for yourself, considering how the people may react to the same. This will assist you in drawing a practical flow of procedures, strategies and devise follow-up questions for a compressive data. This way you can anticipate likely responses from consumers and get your hands on hypothetical market research and analysis than being taken aback by something unexpected.
3. Finalize the Target Group for Research
If you want to sell shoes, you will definitely not talk to the fruit customers. Thus, you have to segregate target groups in a way that your research is accountable. Finding the right set of people for answers can be gauged from relevant market data of audience for a particular segment, considering generating leads from a database and approaching them with questionnaires, meet up with respective business personnel etc. You can refer to industry research reports as to how big guns of the market went ahead with successful approach.
4. Select Best investigation Method
Depending on the type of leads, you can choose a method for how to do market research. Some prefer contacting people on their email ids, make telephonic calls, visit the person at residence/workplace, create an internet poll, access target audience through social media etc. The tactic selected should be able to provide you a trustworthy SWOT analysis. Select a contact tool/s that helps leveraging your purpose and avail qualitative and quantitative response from the target group.
5. Concrete Surveys and Channels
If you can independently handle the process, then consider cost effective channels like online free tools for surveys, polls, votes, digital forums etc. If you have a grand budget, then you can step ahead with market research and analysis through broadcast, advertising, events, meet-ups, road shows, programs, workshops, service and product trials to consumers etc. Several agencies are present to help you with these at any point of time. However, you can also select affordable means by hiring a dedicated team for the same.
6. Analyze the Responses
After receiving collective findings, it is time to analyze these for a value-added scope and answer. You may have to set a limit as to the amount and quality of data needed is needed for observation to gain an insight on a particular query. For e.g. for a quantitative analysis, you may be looking for number of people who affirmed or disagreed to aspects projected to them. For a qualitative observation, maybe you can look for what people think of the services, study recent industry research reports, suggested improvements by people etc.

One of my favorite homeschool bloggers out there is Andrea, author of the blog Notes From a Homeschool Mom. She always comes up with wisdom that hits me between the eyes or puts context to something I can't quite put my finger on. Love her blog, check it out.
Anyway, she did a post called "Five Homeschooling Battles I No Longer Fight". Her list is GREAT and inspiring! So I am challenging myself, now, to write a post similar to hers. I want to prove to myself that I am truly moving forward and becoming a "better" me.
But, even more than that, I am aware that I gotten tired of hearing myself say things again and again and again! I have lost the desire to battle those who can't embrace the lifestyle we have chosen.
Here is my list:
- I no longer keep homeschooling records.
I haven't kept them for years. No one I know has ever been challenged by any authority to show their record books and so, after about five or six years of doing this, I decided it was just time-consuming and unnecessary.
- I no longer speak for my children when people ask them "where do you go to school?" I now step back or move away a bit and allow them to speak for themselves. Allow them to handle the questions that the other person might come up with. The kids themselves make great advocates for homeschooling because they are so well-spoken and cool.
- I no longer wait for anyone else to create a group or activity that interests us. Now, I simply create those groups, activities, and events myself and spread the news that the opportunities are now available.
- I no longer read "Rainbow Resources" catalog from cover to cover. I no longer underline, check mark, and fold over pages of the necessary stuff that I WANT. In fact, I never open it at all! I don't CARE what is out there, we do what we do and I have done the research for hundreds of hours. I'm cool with what we use. And,
- I no longer look at the "What to Learn in the Eighth Grade" type websites or books. These collections of someone's idea of what we "should" do or "should" know are absurd and almost never include the cool stuff that we DO do.

Sometime during the second half, Mike Krzyzewski looked for help and found none. He might have reminisced that it was a lot easier coaching a crew of NBA All-Stars in the Olympics.
LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Kobe Bryant were not in uniform for Duke, which might have been the second-best team in this NCAA Tournament field but had no shot against the No. 1 overall seed.
At this point, does any team have a realistic shot to take down Louisville? The Final Four appears to be Rick Pitino and three props.
Public opinion predicted the outcome Sunday. As the Blue Devils and Cardinals got set for tipoff, MGM Resorts sports book director Jay Rood said, "Everybody was cashing out and pounding Louisville."
The Cardinals, who moved from 3½-point favorites to 4, pounded Duke, 85-63. Rarely do we see Coach K get KO'd so convincingly.
Michigan, Syracuse and Wichita State will join the party in Atlanta, but barring some sort of miracle, it will be Pitino and the Cardinals cutting down the nets a week from today.
At the LVH sports book, Louisville is a minus-130 favorite (10-13 odds) to win the title. The Cardinals opened as 10½-point favorites over the Shockers in Saturday's first national semifinal.
"I can't see anybody beating them," said Ken Thomson, a handicapper for SportsXRadio.com and Pregame.com. "The Louisville defense is so tenacious, and if you don't have several guys with good handles, you're in trouble."
The Blue Devils had too few guys who could handle the defensive pressure and too many guys who were too tired to make a jumper. Seth Curry hit two 3-pointers, Mason Plumlee dunked, and Duke was looking good enough with the game tied at 42 early in the second half.
That's when Russ Smith and Peyton Siva, two of the fastest guards in college basketball, started driving to the rim for a layup drill, leading the Cardinals on a 20-4 run. The Blue Devils were done, a step too slow and not sure what hit them.
Louisville made just 2 of 13 3-pointers, lost reserve guard Kevin Ware to a gruesome broken leg in the first half, and still won in a runaway. I thought the Cardinals' weak perimeter shooting would lead to their demise in the NCAA Tournament, but that theory was as wrong as my Duke pick to win the bracket pools.
The Cardinals have won 14 consecutive games since a 104-101, five-overtime loss at Notre Dame on Feb. 9. Twelve of the wins were by double-digit margins, including Pitino's impressive beatdown of Coach K.
Michigan is a 2-point favorite over Syracuse in the other semifinal. The Wolverines needed a near-miracle shot by Trey Burke to knock out Kansas on Friday before crushing Florida, a 3½-point favorite, 79-59 on Sunday. The Orange used a stifling zone defense to hold Indiana to 50 points and Marquette to 39.
"That zone is why Syracuse is probably the only team that can beat Louisville," said Thomson, who is aware the Cardinals beat the Orange twice in the past month, the most recent meeting a 78-61 blowout in the Big East tournament championship.
Florida Gulf Coast, the best March underdog story in years, was sent home from the Sweet 16. But at least the Eagles covered, when all of the sharp money was bet against them, in a 62-50 loss to Florida.
Wichita State, a No. 9 seed from the Missouri Valley Conference, picked up the Cinderella banner and will carry it to Atlanta. A month ago, MGM books offered the Shockers at 200-1 odds to win the NCAA championship.
Pitino's tale is much different. Four years ago this month, his career appeared to be in jeopardy after he admitted to an affair and paid for an abortion. He survived the scandal, and his comeback is almost complete.
Comebacks happen. Popular broadcaster Marv Albert, once accused of wearing panties and biting women, pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault and battery charges but has revived his career and is calling college games.
Upsets happen. Lyle Lovett, who beat the odds by marrying Julia Roberts, sang the national anthem Sunday before the Houston Astros, considered the worst team in baseball, won their season opener. The Miami Heat, playing without James and Dwyane Wade, won as 9-point underdogs at San Antonio.
A year ago, Louisville went to the Final Four and lost to Kentucky.
Pitino and the Cardinals are making a comeback as the favorites to win it all. It's difficult to envision an upset happening.

1- Avoid impulse purchases by shopping with checklists, and sticking to the lists.
2- See something you want that isn't on your list? Don't buy it. Write it down and add it to your list for next time. Chances are good that after you have had a day or two to think about it, the impulse to buy it will go away.
3- Avoid impulse purchases by paying with cash, not credit or debit cards. This way you will immediately see & feel the pain of the purchase.
4- Avoid shopping for fun or entertainment. Don't go to the mall or shopping center just to have something to do.
5- Avoid social shopping with friends. People tend to talk each other into things, not out of them.
6- Do not watch infomercials or home shopping channels.
7- Do not catalog shop unless you are looking for something specific.
8- Shop for quality not quantity. Something that costs more because it is of better quality and will last longer, will be cheaper in the long run than something that initially costs less, but will wear out or break much quicker.
9- Stick with classic styles and colors, rather than styles that are "in" at the moment. Avoid fads.
10- Consider renting something instead of buying it if you will only use it once or very occasionally.
11- Cancel newspapers and magazines that you don't read thoroughly or need professionally. Most will even refund the unused portion of your subscription.
12- Make use of your local library for newspapers, magazines, books, DVDs and CDs. Only buy those that you cannot get for free at the library or that you will use repeatedly.
13- Use coupons whenever possible, but only for items you would buy anyway.
14- Use sales fliers and the Internet to comparison shop. Prices can vary widely from store to store on the same item.
15- Warehouse stores (Sam's Club, Costco, etc.) are not always the cheapest option. Often times a generic or store brand elsewhere will be just as good and less expensive than a name brand at the warehouse store.
16- Avoid the use of credit cards, charge accounts, rent-to-own, and other forms of debt. You will not only save on interest and other fees, you will most likely buy less in the first place.
17- If you have credit card debt, be extra diligent to make payments on time. The late fees and higher interest rates due to missed or late payments add up fast.
18- Hang out your clothes to dry. Dryers are among the most expensive appliances to run in terms of energy cost.

Writers' rooms, rewritten
By Karl Whitney.
Brian Dillon, I Am Sitting in a Room, Cabinet Books, 2011 and K.Collins et al, Reception Rooms: An Anthology of Recent Responses to Brian Dillon's I Am Sitting in a Room, IHUM Books, 2011.
There is a rich corpus of literature about writers' workspaces, and Brian Dillon's book functions as both an addition to that canon and a selective guide to it. For a start, the circumstances of the book's composition deserve attention: Dillon wrote it in the 24 hours between 10am on 10th December 2011 and 10am on 11th December 2011. A photograph of the room in which Dillon sat is reproduced at the beginning of the book: black walls, a simple desk, an iPad propped in front of him, above him a clock displaying the time. This book is the first in a series of '24-hour books' from Cabinet magazine, all of which will be written in similar circumstances.
In the accompanying volume of responses, much is made of the conditions of the book's production by a series of texts written for the most part by postgraduate students of Princeton University. Only one of these responses memorably engages with Dillon's text: Enrique Ramirez's artful 'Meditation on a Clean Floor'.
The mode of production Dillon's engaged in is not so far from that of an undergraduate essay being rushed for deadline – indeed he recalls falling from his chair in the library of University College Dublin while writing one such essay. But Dillon is a polished and thought-provoking author who's done his preparation: in the photo, one can see a number of books stacked around him.
When we read about writers' rooms, what we seek is the colourful anecdote, the precise description. We want to know that writing happens in a place apart – one that we, mere mortals, have no access to. Writers' rooms are a fetish, and we can't get enough. Dillon gives us these examples: Hemingway writing while standing up, Roald Dahl and Virginia Woolf writing with a board set upon their knees, George Bernard Shaw with his revolving shed, Vladimir Nabokov scribbling on index cards in his car for the benefit of a Life magazine photographer.
Dillon is careful to point out the constructed nature of these images: he reproduces a photo of Hemingway, his muscular calves a product, Dillon speculates, of writing 'very hard'. In a photo of Susan Sontag the back wall of her study has an Italian Olivetti typewriter poster. It seems too perfect. Hmmmm… did Nabokov really write in his car?
In an era when cultural production is becoming increasingly accessible, but also ad hoc and provisional, there's no doubt that these fables of permanence become seductive: the writer who can only work in his bed between certain times, or the mythical descent to the shed that many writers practice.
Dillon numbers among the latter camp: he reproduces a photo of the 'garden office' he bought for his back garden in 2006, along with a description from the supplier's catalogue. In the photo, the office – a charming looking shed with a curving roof – is surrounded by snow. The warm glow from inside the building provides a sharp contrast to the icy conditions outside.
Dillon's method draws much from Georges Perec's approach to the infra-ordinaire – the ultra-ordinary details of daily life that we all too frequently ignore. (Dillon draws on what he calls Perec's 'peerless analysis' of Messina's 'Saint Jerome in his Study' in his own writing about the painting.) Perec's approach was an attempt at an avant-garde unveiling of the processes of the everyday; Dillon's is too, except that, through writing about writers' rooms, even in a critical way, you run the risk of re-mythologizing them, and the writing process.
Instead, one is left with the entertainingly acid judgements Dillon brings to bear on his material: he imagines Shaw's revolving shed 'picking up speed as it spins, finally attaining escape velocity and hurtling away above the Hertfordshire countryside, its owner become a pompous and bearded Dorothy'. On a photo of Philip Roth, who claims to be uninterested in the minutae of the writing life: 'Here is the author sporting open-necked shirt and alarming moustache, grinning away as he leans against his large antique desk in front of his bookshelves and, of all things, his library ladder. I don't believe Philip Roth. I think he's obsessed by writerly impedimenta'.
This amusingly sceptical voice is what sustains this short, enjoyable book.

June 19, 2012 19:50 ET
CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - June 19, 2012) - Enbridge Inc. (TSX:ENB) (NYSE:ENB) has confirmed an oil release at its Elk Point oil pumping station on Line 19 (Athabasca Pipeline), approximately 70 kilometres (43.5 miles) south of Bonnyville, Alberta and approximately 24 kilometres (15 miles) from the town of Elk Point.
The release, which occurred June 18, 2012, is largely contained within the pumping station site. The area was secured and clean-up operations began immediately. There is no risk to public health or safety. Preliminary volume estimates of the release are approximately 230 m3 (1,400 barrels). The cause of the release appears to be a failure of a flange gasket in the pumping station.
Immediately upon Enbridge's detection of the pumping station leak, the pipeline was shut down. Enbridge contacted local emergency response organizations and has notified civic authorities and regulatory agencies.
With the Elk Point pump station isolated and shut down, the line was safely restarted on the afternoon on June 18 and has run normally since that time. However, the line was again shut down the afternoon of June 19 on the order of the Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB) as the ERCB and Enbridge continue their investigation. Enbridge is in discussion with the ERCB to determine the appropriate time for a restart of the line.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — State wildlife officials are trying to make fishing a family affair in Ohio.
On Tuesday, Ohio will stock state-owned ponds at four state park locations with channel fish. The ponds are open to anyone who accompanies an angler age 15 or under.
The ponds are at Sycamore and Caesar Creek state parks in the Dayton area, Delaware State Park north of Columbus and Maumee Bay State Park near Toledo.
The family-oriented fishing areas are funded in part with fees paid for Ohio fishing licenses and federal contributions from an excise tax on fishing rods, reels and motor boat fuel.

Fox Sports' cringey post-try interview with Henry Speight
The guys at Fox Sports Australia are known for their innovative broadcasting of rugby. From having players mic'd up during matches to trialling the first ever ref cam in a professional match, they've done a lot for the exposure of the game.
But their latest endeavour will probably go down as one of the worst ideas in television.
You can't help but feel a little sorry for pitchside reporter Natalie Yoannidis, who must have shared viewers' opinion when she tried to get an interview out of Brumbies player Henry Speight, after the winger had just touched down for a try for the hosts.
What followed should be used as a lesson that, getting closer to the action isn't always a good idea.
Clearly out of puff, Speight gave an almost gibberish answer, which left viewers and commentators none the wiser as what the Wallaby internationalist thought, and Yoannidis scampering off camera.
So with this in mind maybe it's best to let the images, rather than Speight, do the talking!

"See the world as yourself. Have faith in the way things are. Love the world as your self; Then you can care for all things." Lao Tzo
Voted Best Yoga Studio by Bay Area A-List: 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011 & 2009
After 18 years of humble surroundings–our community is now happily practicing in a state-of-the-art sanctuary. Imagine this perfect yoga experience…
When you enter our door at Being Yoga you immediately feel there is something wonderful going on here…friendly staff, decor pleasing to the eyes, and an obvious cleanliness–just to point out a few definite distinctions. You'll enjoy practicing in our heavenly haven and then, linger at the end of class in savasana (final relaxation) under a night's sky–there's a light show surprise here. No worries about getting a yoga class in when your schedule is full as you will enjoy getting ready for your next engagement in our spa-like locker rooms, which include showers. No question that our 'green' philosophy will add another dimension to the grounded effect felt when at the studio. You'll surely depart in a blissful state.
Join us and add your smile to our many satisfied students.
Being Yoga is conveniently located off Hwy 101 or Hwy 280. Students commute from home in SF to work in the Silicon Valley and find us conveniently located mid-way. Thankfully, parking is plentiful in the front side of Burlingame Plaza.
We, the teachers at Being Yoga, share a deep commitment to teaching yoga. Our definition of "yoga" however spans a greater depth than the mere teaching of the physical postures. Included in this definition are the other seven limbs of yoga that Patanjali wrote about thousands of years ago. Very simply the "eight limbs of Patanjali" are suggestions on how to live a better life through cultivating not only the body, but the mind and spirit as well. These "suggestions" are helpful when applied to both the personal and professional aspects of life, so it is only natural that we at Being Yoga have adopted them as the backbone of our studio's "Teaching Code of Ethics."
The first limb of yoga is called the "Yamas." In a nutshell, the Yamas urge people to treat people in the same manner they themselves would like to be treated. At Being Yoga we actively acknowledge the positive in everyone and consciously refrain from any criticism or gossip. We strive to show compassion towards our students while maintaining healthy and safe boundaries. We recognize the divine within every student and treat each one with professional integrity, honesty and respect.
The second limb, Niyama, suggests that we treat ourselves with respect. At Being Yoga we are dedicated to taking care of ourselves and living in a manner consistent with healthful goals and lifestyles. We actively work to cultivate our own personal connection with the divine.
The third limb, or Asana, is our physical yoga practice. We are, of course, devoted to teaching and practicing the yoga asanas with a heartfelt enthusiasm and a constant desire to grow and improve as teachers and as yoga practitioners. Along those lines, we practice the fourth limb of Pranayama by an awareness of the life force—consciously practicing and teaching deep, controlled breathing–to sustain vitality and, at the same time, composure.
The fifth, sixth, and seventh limbs, Pratyahara, Dharana and Dhyana, all suggest that we vow to seek peace in ourselves, and promote peace for others, through discipline, intention, concentration and meditation. Through our practice, we regularly strive to quiet the mind from its normal noisy thoughts—connecting to the higher force found within and allowing happiness and tranquility to flourish.
The eighth "limb," Samadhi, encompasses the ultimate goal: enlightenment. Those who achieve Samadhi have successfully dedicated themselves to the above principles, therefore achieving absolute bliss through union with the divine.
Although our Teaching Code of Ethics at Being Yoga might not guarantee every student pure enlightenment, we can guarantee that every student will benefit from our sincere desire to rise to our highest level of personal and professional goals through adherence to the eight limbs of Patanjali.

I started Bikram yoga in 2009 and I knew nothing about Bikram yoga or any yoga before. It was very different challenge than working out at the gym. Bikram yoga is not a seasonal activity for me. Bikram yoga is preventative medicine and it helps for me to fight stress, slow down the aging process, create energy, and stay toned and lean. It has become my physical therapy and permanent part of my schedule. In July 2012 I completed Hot Yoga Teacher Training Course and got certified by Yoga Alliance group. I was fortunate to train with Jason Wilkerson, one of the first students to study with Bikram. I feel compassion for every single person in each class because I know we have all gone through phases of suffering and deep pain. I just want to treat you with kindness and care. I just want to make your life a little bit easier.
The practice of yoga is to unite the body and mind so to connect with the essence of your being. Robin is passionate about leading students on this inward journey to wholeness. As a yoga teacher, her intention is to a hold a still, safe, quiet place for others to do the work of freeing body and mind. "Robin will teach you the yoga poses as though they are tools to harness the fluctuating mind. I've learned taking her classes for 17 years that being attentive to the body for 90 minutes is an elixir shot for my well-being." ~Michele Forrette
I am committed to inspiring others to discover and nurture their inner spark by developing a strong asana practice through a deep connection between the breath and the body. By bringing gems of wisdom from multiple disciplines, I take a pragmatic approach to my practice and teaching to create a playful and open-minded environment, helping you to discover the practice that works for your unique and beautiful body. My teaching approach is alignment-focused, and I offer variations and modifications to accommodate any ability level. We will build strength from the ground up, to establish a strong and healing practice that you can carry with you throughout your life - on the mat and as you tackle life!
Welcome... I am looking forward to seeing you! Being with your companionship once again and to experience the practice of yoga together... Blessings.... Diana.
I started practicing regularly in November 1996 and have been teaching regularly since completing the Bikram teacher training in June 2000. The emphasis in my classes is to get the form and alignment right, and then to go to whatever depth you feel is appropriate that day. I encourage the students to be aware of the entirety of their physical body in each posture so it becomes a holistic practice, so you can find that place of oneness while holding the posture. From there, you can do your own yoga therapy while holding each posture, sending energy to areas of the body that need it, expanding your awareness to experience cosmic consciousness, or just visualizing the energy flowing through the channels of your body to clear the energy flow. All this, while challenging yourself to work to your edge in the postures using a focused, relaxed, effort! At the end of class, feel your body purified, your mind calm, and your awareness clear.
What to expect from erin's class...results. joking ;-)
You will be guided through erin's class with kindness and heart while not realizing you are working harder than you thought you could. She likes it hot but will definitely cool you down with a sweet song at the end.
To teach yoga is to give. My belief is to give the students a sprinkle of the yoga philosophy with the practice of asana so the tradition continues. My classes are strong but adjustable to each body type. I believe in proper alignment and foundation where a slow start can bring the student to bigger achievements. The cycle of learning/teaching never stops; I learn from the teachers, from the students and from the universe around me.
There are no limits for the mind to fly even when the body starts to stumble.
Expect a class full of positive energy!
Magalie looks forward to the chance to encourage you to your full potential.
And, after class you might be that lucky student who gets a foot massage.
"I like to lead you through the type of class I'd like to take."
It is my hope that students leave class feeling more calm, confident and joyful, and more connected to themselves and the world around them.
Yoga is about unification, or connection, and as a certified yoga instructor who has studied under master teachers of various yogic traditions for 15 years, I try to weave a tapestry of instruction so that students can find a thread—a connection—between their personal goals and each class dialogue. Drawing from these multiple traditions, I try to create a friendly, warm environment where every student feels safe exploring and expanding his or her own range of physical and emotional capabilities. It is my intention to gently motivate students to move past their fears and self-doubts and discover their untapped potential, on and off the mat. And, it is my hope that students leave my class feeling healthier, stronger, more confident and more connected in body, mind and spirit.
After experiencing a series of injuries to her foot – sustained from years of punishing long distance running, Fiona decided to give up running and seek a more forgiving way to stay fit and healthy. She took up Bikram yoga, and was hooked from her very first class. She was particularly attracted to the intensity of the practice and how it made her feel both physically and mentally. Given the extraordinary benefits Fiona received from practicing Bikram yoga, she resolved to share her commitment to it by teaching others. She subsequently attended the Bikram Yoga Teacher Training program in the Spring of 2010. Since then, she has taught at various yoga studios in San Francisco and the Peninsula.
Mary practiced Jiu Jitsu for over 10 years, and a knee injury during this martial art practice brought her to discover the healing power of Yoga. Since this transition, Mary has been practicing and teaching Yoga in the Bay Area. Mary completed her training and certification with Bikram Choudhury in 2001. In addition to Bikram, she enjoys studying other Yoga styles. She teaches Yin, Flow, Bikram, and private classes weekly. Mary meditates daily and brings this experience into her teaching through the powerful vehicle known as "stillness."
Dawn Hoppe began practicing Bikram Yoga in 2006. Initially, it was the challenge, the heat, and the physicality of the practice that drew her in. She was amazed by the exhiliration she felt during class and also by the calming, yet energizing influence that went beyond the yoga room and into daily life. After practicing for a little over a year, she attended the Fall 2007 Teacher Training. Dawn sees yoga as a path to empower, heal, and love oneself and looks forward to sharing this with her students.
My yoga experience started with a flyer picked up while working in a sidewalk box in front of the studio in 1999. I was at the end of a 30 year career fixing phone lines. After spending nearly 30 years working and lifting in awkward positions my aching back was looking for a remedy. It took six months before attending my first class but once my yoga journey started it hasn't stopped. First it was 1 or 2 times a week. Then within a year it was 2 or 3 times a week. It was at teacher training when the decision was made to come out of retirement and spend the rest of my life teaching yoga. The yoga community is all encompassing and I love being a part of it. I am devoted to Being Yoga, Robin, my first teacher, and making the experience for every student to be as fulfilling as mine has been.
Yoga became a part of my life since 2007, it's the only exercise I cannot live without. With consistency, I am not only physically trained, I found a whole new universe within my Self. As a Bikram yogi, I began my journey right here at Being Yoga. After my very first class, I knew I found an active way to meditate ~ holding still in balance, not only physically but more importantly my mind. To all my students/friends, i wish to share my passion in opening our consciousness. Practice with mindfulness, breathing in stillness, and ultimately, experience the serenity within.
With my guidance and encouragement students will learn to get in and out of postures correctly; they'll learn to trust themselves, push further, test new waters; they'll leave class in a yoga bliss.
"The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle." -Steve Jobs
From top to bottom from outside to inside come get a total body work.
I have practiced yoga at varying levels since 1988 when I took a Yoga class at San Jose State University. Since then I have explored many different styles of yoga; hatha, vinyasa, pre-natal, partner, ashtanga, yin, gentle, and bikram. I have benefited not only from the healing effects on the body, but also the calming and centering of the mind. I began to think about ways in which yoga can affect a positive change in the world when once again I needed the healing effects of yoga in 2013. I decided to begin giving back through participation in Yoga for Hope which is a charity event raising money for cancer and aids research. I decided to go further and deepen my practice with a 200hr teacher training with Wanderlust that explored a well-rounded and complete look at yoga. I was amazed with how learning so much about yoga philosophy and meditation just made me want to learn more. I continued my studies this past year earning my certification in the hot 26 series, and Yoga Therapy . I will complete my advanced teacher training with Avahana school by the end of the year continuing my study of vinyasa and yoga therapy. I am interested in sharing with the community the connection between breath, mind, and body which brings health and peace of mind. I continue to keep yoga a dynamic influence in my life by attending Yoga Journal Conference, and Wanderlust festival and learning from other teachers and exploring all that yoga has to offer us. Off the mat, I am a wife, mother of three girls, full time Registered Respiratory Therapist, and student of life.

|Leaks like a sieve...
... I have some last.fm leaks as well. And I did leak data as I had to do my duty and voted in the election.
Regarding the election: I voted NO for the Olympics in Oslo 2022. The only right choice as far as I could see, but unfortunately the majority of the voters did not to agree. It has been a dirty election campaign, and most people haven't seen the entire picture at all. I voted for the Greens as well.
Anyways, 10 days down, 20 to go. Despite of the leaks I'm leaving fewer electronic traces now compared to earlier. It feels great. Spending no time on social media sites, no time blogging, not being reachable outside work and home, not having to answer everyone that contacts me. Electronic progress is, despite being very handy, also limiting us. And doing extensive self surveillance, as many are, is not making it hard for anyone to get a lot of information on you. This challenge definitively brings me freedom.
