OK, if you've been following me here, you know that I'm fairly new to this "blogging" thing, but I've been invited to participate in this really cool thing, and I am looking forward to spreading the love, too! I want to thank TheOriginalPhoenix for nominating me! I wish I could nominate HER blog – it's fantastic and you should go read it!
- Acknowledge the blog who nominated you and display the award.
- Answer the 11 questions the blogger gives you.
- Give 11 random facts about yourself.
- Nominate 11 blogs.
- Notify those blogs of the nomination.
- Give them 11 questions to answer.
What's one of the biggest but hilarious mistakes you've made?
When I'm speaking, fairly often I mix up words. It was worse when I was a kid, and mostly benign – I'd say things like "on" instead of "in", for example. I don't know how to explain it, but it's like sometimes my brain just quick searches and stops on words that sound similar, but aren't quite right. There were quite a few times it got a bit embarrassing. In particular, one time, during an oral report at school, I meant to say something was "exotic" and I accidentally said "erotic." I'm much more comfortable writing.
Why did you start blogging?
A couple of very good friends of mine suggested it after my hospital stay, and I figured I'd give it a go in hopes of sharing bits of my story with friends and family in a way that would, hopefully, educate them a bit and do at least a little something to reduce stigma. I had no idea that I was stumbling into my passion. But man, am I thankful for those few who gave me a little shove in this direction!
What would you do with a million dollars?
Pay off my grandmother's mortgage first and foremost. Take my daughter to Disney for the BEST week of her life. Pay off all my student loan debt, my car, my medical bills. I'd put $250,000 in a savings account with good interest for my daughter, buy a modest home (you can get nice ones where I live for around $175,000), put $200,000 in a savings account with good interest for me, and then use the remaining $200,000-ish to help out friends and probably go on two more epic vacations – one with my friends to somewhere tropical with impossibly blue water and one with my daughter, out of the country to explore and learn more about our world at large.
******** Almost all of this plan would be shot if I had an opportunity to see David Gilmour live for anything up to $500,000. Gram's mortgage, Disney for my daughter, and her nest egg savings account are non-negotiable, but I'd toss everything else out the window to hear that Fender Strat over real speakers and see the man-god himself on stage (it's been a dream since I was six years old, don't knock me for being irresponsible with my imaginary money!)
Where is your happy place? Why is it your happy place?
Nantasket Beach in Hull, Massachusetts. Ocean, waves, rocky outcrops with tide pools at low tide, the strip, and so many memories of being there when I was a kid with my Nana and Papa. Since they died and their house was sold, Nantasket is the place I can most easily go to recall tangible conversations, sand-castle and boogie-boarding adventures, jokes, sarcasm, penny candy, cotton candy, The Carousel, and so much love and happiness. Plus, the ocean & salty air is just so perfect. I don't get there often, though, so my second happy place is probably on my couch, snuggling with my daughter.
What's your favorite literary genre? Why?
I honestly don't think I have a favorite genre. My favorite books are pretty diverse: Lord of the Rings, Angela's Ashes & 'Tis by Frank McCourt, The Given Day by Dennis Lehane, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, and Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. So… Fanta-mem-noir-goth-roman-tragedy?
What's one of the best gifts you've received?
I assume this means tangible gifts. When I was in second grade at Christmas I got a digital watch from my mom. We didn't have a lot of money at the time. I don't remember if it was the only gift she was able to get me or not, but I remember opening it and being so excited and, honestly, completely blown away that she had gotten it for me. I wanted a digital watch more than anything and they were pretty expensive back in the day. And the old classical guitar my Papa gave me the summer between 6th and 7th grade. His neighbor was going to toss it, and Pap stopped him and said, "Well, Sheila might like that." When I went down to Nana and Papa's house for summer break that year, he took me upstairs and pulled it out of his closet and I was so far beyond stoked! I wish I still had it, but it was lost in a move, I think. I am by no means a talented guitarist, but getting that thing and learning even basic rhythm guitar was a pretty influential process in my life. Papa also bought me my first "regular" acoustic guitar when I was in 8th grade (I had to practice and use the classical for a full year and get straight A's both semesters before he'd spring and spend actual money on one. It was a black composite-wood Fender starter guitar. The whole kit probably cost $125. But I had that thing until college, when it was stolen out of a car by some jerk. I stopped playing for a long time because I was too shy to play around people, so I wasn't playing in my dorm room due to the roommate and, when I moved in with my ex, I was too shy to play around him, too. I just got back into it a few months ago with an acoustic I got along the line somewhere that was just collecting dust, and I'm freaking loving it! (even if I'm only playing the same five songs over and over.)
How many stereotypes does your existence contradict? (Feel free to describe them.)
Oh man. What a question. Well, I'd say I contradict just about every "woman" stereotype (but so do most women I know, because stereotypes are stupid and women are bad ass). I contradict stereotypes around what creates the trauma necessary to live with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I'd like to think I contradict the stereotypes and misconceptions around what it means to live with Bipolar. I think I contradict a lot of the stereotypes of young(ish) & single mothers. One area I've noticed I seem to actually fit a lot of the stereotypes around is Massachusetts/ New England native culture. That's honestly probably the only stereotype I do fit, and that one's not to a "T", either. Because stereotypes are STUPID AND MOSTLY HARMFUL. And no one is a full embodiment of a stereotypical caricature.
What are your favorite things about your life?
Definitely my daughter, my amazing friends (truly amazing), my family, living in New England, and the fact that I am finally in a position to actually find out more answers to this question – to explore freely and without restraint what I do and do not enjoy about being on this beautiful, fragile, wonderful rock for however many years I've got left.
What's one of your hobbies besides blogging?
Photography. I don't have a camera right now beyond my phone, but I definitely have fun with that. One day, I'll get my hands on a nice DSLR again, and a computer with Lightroom and then I'll REALLY have some fun! 🙂
Coffee or tea? What's your favorite brew?
Coffee, definitely. I do enjoy tea – particularly Tetley (as my Nana drank) and Chai – but if I had to choose one for the rest of my life, there would be no question. My blood is probably at least 50% coffee at this point – mostly Dunks. (See, New England stereotypes – I told ya!)
Do you think the world is getting better or worse? Why?
I'm not sure how to answer this. I think we're in for great things if we can just ride out and contain the current badness. I see all of the conflict and scary things happening now, but I also see the activism, compassion, and openness of the younger generation. I choose to be optimistic and view everything happening now as the death throws of a dying, archaic, outdated, maladaptive, and harmful view of the world. Medical advances and other scientific endeavors promise a bright future, if we can hold on to them. I see the potential for a truly amazing future for our little human race, as long as we can play damage control until egotistical, raging, small men don't have access to nuclear codes and we stop treating the earth as a profit generator.

Danish firm Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) has unveiled its design for a 2,800m2 US art centre clad in timber.
In approaching the design for the Kimball Art Centre, Utah, BIG found inspiration in the urban development of Park City and the settlement's mining heritage.
Timber was the primary construction material of the first miner settlers in Park City, and BIG's design is described as a "highly-evolved log cabin at an unprecedented scale".
They solved this by essentially giving each street a gallery. The building footprint sits in relation to the city's main street and grid. As it rises it turns to face visitors entering the city via Heber Avenue.

Reply I love that $25 dress! It's so clean and pretty. <3 My almost-dress was $8, actually. My mother and I lived in a small town for a few months and happened upon a thrift store kind of just hidden away. The prices were amazing, and we learned they always had these sales. So I was browsing and I found…-her-, this gorgeous blush pink ballgown with a TRAIN. It was $32, I couldn't afford that. 🙁 I stared at it sadly for the longest time until the cashier informed me that "children's clothes" were on sale…and that included prom dresses! After several tacked-on sales that day, it was mine for $8. My mother proudly bought it because she really wanted to buy my dress, just…you know, money's a big thing. She was smiling so wide that day! I sadly learned I'm too tall! I was too excited and forgot to try it on. Everyone and their grandmother(including myself) wants to see me in a floor length, so I'm thinking it can be a killer reception dress with a little tweaking or I can somehow fill out the bottom with a fun petticoat.

Donkey Diapers? Neigh!
Kenyan donkey owners are mad because of a new rule forcing them to put diapers (or nappy for the Brits) on their donkeys to keep the streets clean.

This article was originally published on Benzinga.
The cannabis industry is blooming, and so are many of the publicly traded stocks in the field. However, picking the right stocks is a challenge; you don't want to buy the hype, but instead, a stake in a real company, with a long-term business plan and a proven management team.
Unfortunately, these types of companies are not so easy to come across, as the industry is still nascent. Thus, a large number of investors get caught up in investments that are virtually worthless, or highly overvalued.
Fortunately, Benzinga's Javier Hasse recently asked Leslie Bocskor, investment banker and president of cannabis advisory firm Electrum Partners, how individual investors could make sure they were placing their bets on the right proverbial horses.
Cannabis Penny Stocks
Talking about how CEOs in the marijuana industry could navigate market volatility in times of regulatory uncertainty, Bocskor mentioned a few companies doing a good job. However, I noticed all of these stocks were penny stocks—trading below $2.50 per share. This led me to wonder: If these companies are actually worthy of an investment, why is the market giving them such low valuations?
Trading Over-The-Counter
"Because of the federal illegality and the state legality, and the friction that takes place between those two things, and the lack of clarity about what that really means—because it's uncharted waters—many companies have felt that it would be difficult for them to trade on the Nasdaq or the American Exchange," Bocskor explained. "So, to get access to capital, what they've done is they've explored reverse mergers and other mechanisms to end up being publicly traded on the over-the-counter exchanges."
"The over-the-counter exchanges present challenges," he added. "They're not taken as seriously as the bigger exchanges, and they also allow for a greater degree of latitude in terms of the quality of the company that will trade on them. As a result, many of the companies (…) that have something to do with cannabis probably shouldn't be there. They got there because entrepreneurs thought it was the only way they could get access to capital; there was somebody that had a publicly traded vehicle that seemed like it would be a good fit.
Changing Economics & IPOs
"Secondly, we've had something happen in the financial markets on a structural basis over the last 20 years that has had devastating effects on capital formation and innovation in the United States," continued Bocskor. "It used to be that companies could come public and raise $5 million to $10 million in a small IPO all the time. So, when Intel first came public, they raised $10 million, if I remember correctly."
"These days, because of the implementation of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in a wholesale capacity that covers small and large companies both, which is sort an unfair burden on a small company and an easier burden on a large company, the ability for companies to become publicly traded through the traditional mechanism is limited," he said.
The Evolution Of Banks
Bocskor continued: "As well, a number of business and regulatory issues have converged to create a market where the investment banks that used to exist on a regional basis, creating a national ecosystem no longer exist. The Hambrecht & Quist's, the Piper Jaffray's, the Hornblower & Weeks', the Spencer Trask's… They may exist in name still, but they don't exist in terms of the business model they used to have."
"Because of that, there's no clear path for a company to make the transition from private to public, unless it has already succeeded at becoming a $100 million or $1 billion enterprise like Snap [Snapchat's parent company]," he expounded. "[To make things worse], there are also no investment banks to advise the entrepreneurs why they need to focus on their stock price, not from the perspective of whether it's going up or down, but making sure the capital structure allows for a price that will be better for the company moving forward in terms of the optics that it creates."
Alternative Mechanisms
"As a result, we find many companies exploring this other mechanism, this back door to being publicly traded through reverse mergers or through Form 10 filings, etc., that were not the traditional mechanism that provided for an orderly and well-run market," Bocskor said. "As such, we see smaller companies that tend to be in the lower prices because the traders that trade and make the markets there like the additional revenue they can get based upon the spread that exists in the bid and ask on the small, lower priced stocks. So, the lower the price, if something is trading in pennies and it's trading from $0.05 to $0.06, for example, that penny spread represents 16 percent. If a trader can capture that 16 spread, that's a very profitable area to be. So, they tend to be friendlier to companies with these lower prices."
I think it's terrible," Bocskor added. "I would like to see these companies trading for $1 or $5, $15, $30 a share, which I think will be where they will be in the coming years."
Breaking The Prejudice
"The point is there is a prejudice against low-priced stocks that I think we need to get away from as an industry and start looking towards reverse splitting our stocks, having fewer numbers of shares and higher prices because the optics on it are better," he pointed out. "As well, they limit the possibility of mischief by those traders who look for those spreads on lower priced stocks."
Trojan Horses & Derby Champions
It's true that there are some of these penny stocks that are good. However, many others aren't. So, how does a retail investor or an individual investor know the difference? What would Bocskor recommend?
"I wish there was an easier answer to this than the one I'm about to give, he explained. "The truth of the matter is, I can suggest investors do their own due diligence, and they read all of the filings and other information about the company. I can suggest they should call the company directly and speak to them. I can suggest that they should call the company's customers and ask to speak to their customers. I could suggest that they should ask the company to give them access to their vendors to call them and see does the company pay their bills on time, are they a good customer, are they a good actor in the business community?"
I can make those suggestions, which are good suggestions, and any investor that has the time to do it, I would suggest they do it," he continued. "However, the truth of the matter is that it's going to be almost impossible for most individual investors to do that. Only the biggest investors that will be taken seriously by the company would be able to get that type of access."
"So, the small investors find themselves in a very difficult position, especially when you can't find any ETFs or sector-based funds that are trading or available for investors to look at. So then the answer is they have to find people like Alan Brochstein at 420 Investor, or the guys at ArcView, people like that, to give them some guidance as an individual investor. I would suggest they spend time talking to the people, and following the people, and learning from the people that are the ones that know what makes sense, what doesn't, what companies are good [and] which ones aren't."

GI1-1TH5P-0026Data transmission and long distance correlation processing experiments for space geodesy through the satellite TCP/IP link in the South PacificICHIKAWA Ryuichi(email@example.com)(1), TAKEUCHI Hiroshi(1), Hasegawa Akio(2), Osaki Hiroo, KONDO Tetsuro(1), KUROIWA Hiroshi(2), TAKAHASHI Fujinobu(3), Eroni Vari(4), Paserio Samisoni(4),David A. PHILLIPS(5), and Michael BEVIS(6)(1) Kashima Space Research Center, National Institute of Information and Communications Technology, JAPAN(2) ATR, JAPAN, (3) University of South Pacific, SUVA, FIJI, (4) Yokohama National University, JAPAN(5) Lands & Survey Dept., Suva, FIJI, (6) PGF/University of Hawaii, USA,(7) Ohio State University, USA
Full-time observations at globally distributed VLBI stations are desirable for the real-time monitoring of the earth orientation. However, pacific and southern hemisphere coverage is not sufficient. If we are able to use a high speed TCP/IP data link using an optical fiber network or wideband satellite communication at the South Pacific Islands, the state-of-art e-VLBI system which we are developing will be able to fill a gap in the VLBI observation network. In addition, the monitoring of the plate motions and sea level changes using GPS measurements in the South Pacific supports studies of natural hazards and climate change. Unfortunately, since there are no VLBI stations in the South Pacific Islands, the position coordinates of GPS stations are not tied to the global reference system with sufficient precision. The local tie between the VLBI station and the local GPS network will improve the precision.
We started to develop the VLBI and GPS data transfer system using the satellite TCP/IP link. There is a satellite station in the University of South Pacific (USP), SUVA, Fiji. Though the band width of 1536Kbps is not enough to transmit the huge data sets such as Gigabit VLBI data, we can actually evaluate the R&D results to send the space geodetic data from Fiji to Japan.
Our experiments were successfully carried out during the periods of February 9-14, 2004 and January 16-21, 2005. We installed a GPS station, a pre-installed Linux server including the test VLBI data, and a state-of-the-art satellite router in the USP. In the year of 2004 experiment we evaluated the throughput rate using the new satellite router which can improve the maximum throughput of a TCP connection to avoid the time delay due to the round trip time (RTT). The GPS and VLBI data sets in the USP server were transmitted via FTP from Fiji to Japan. The peak throughput was more than approximately 1440Kbps which is up to about 94% of the nominal maximum throughput.
In the year of 2005 experiment we tried the K5 software correlation of VLBI data sets using the network-distributed processing system (we call this "VLBI@home") between Japan and Fiji. The long-distance correlation processing via satellite link was successfully performed. In addition, the parallel data transmission and resource-sharing technologies was significantly useful to reduce the RTT effect.

Notes: Troma.
90 minutes.
AKA: Dark Fortress
Lea: Linda Corwin
Marn: Paul Guzzi
With Alex Pirnie, Mark Deshaies, K. Alan Hooder, Scott Ferro, Ryan Piper
Produced: Alex Pirnie, Brett Piper
Written and Directed: Brett Piper
Music: The Astral Warriors
Summary: The
scene is obviously post-apocalyptic as Lea's voice narrates: "Dear
Diary [a problem since we find out later that reading skills have
been lost, nor is there evidence of sound recording equipment],
the war when it came lasted just a day." Footage from some
other Troma films show chaos. "My childhood was a brief catatonic
pause. Then one day I woke up a woman. I'm the daughter of a new
age." The radiation has turned "pets and livestock into
gargantuan horrifying creatures. Now Tromaville has become a dinosaur
Marn or Mark or something, the good guy, hunts
a dog until a large dino-worm attacks, receiving an arrow in the
eye. Meanwhile, three savage men spy on the loincloth-clad Lea
and chase her, calling her "bitch," until a lake monster
eats one of them and Marn and Lea then travel together.
Beachcombing mutants attack a wanderer and
their leader cuts off a hand and eats it. The mutants attack Lea
and Marn and lead her away. A somewhat crazy old man intoning
the Jabberwocky gives Marn a gun: "Beats your swords and
axes, eh?"
Lea escapes while the mutants watch a dinosaur
fight. The mutant who fails to retrieve her is kicked by the leader
and then eaten by a dino. Lea meets up with a masked guy for a
while and discovers an ABC book which she practically can't read.
The mutant group recaptures Lea and the leader beats the masked
guy nearly to death. Eventually Lea fights this leader and the
dino-worm tears off his left forearm.
Both Marn and Lea individually head towards
a castle, the way being pointed to Marn by the dying masked guy.
Lea is chased into a skull-cave by mutants, but runs out chased
by a flying dragon who eats one of the mutants. Back inside she
sees baby dragons hanging like bats, is cornered at a ledge above
a monster swamp, and is imprisoned. The mutilated leader is back
and droolingly attacks her, but she smashes two bricks against
his head. He forks her over to the mutants who are taunting a
monster in a pit: "The hell with you; you're lizard meat."
One mutant is shot and Marn chases the leader.
When Marn is being strangled, Lea shoots at the leader but misses.
The two chase the bad guy along a ledge until Lea kicks him into
the monster swamp where he is torn apart and eaten. The two survivors
The flying lizard is a dragon/dinosaur combo, but otherwise the
"dinosaur hell" is actually populated with mutant
This is the dullest and most pointless stretch of a Dungeons and
Dragons game it has ever been my misfortune to waste a Saturday
night on.

A Writing Experiment (and I why I need your help!)
Update: I am closing this experiment for the time being. If you would like me to write for you feel free to email me at dan at themeaningmovement.com, but know that I am not able to take all offers. Thanks to all of you who participated!
I recently wrote about the Life Experiments concept— trying out new directions or deeper engagement with work that matters to you.
I find myself experimenting often. I just enjoy trying things for the sake of seeing how they go, where they go, and how they feel. And it's time for me to take another step.
I've been writing a lot for the Meaning Movement and really enjoying it. I feel like I'm writing more material than I have places to put it. This is a good thing, but I feel frustrated that I have so much that won't get read for a very long time. I want to help people expand and change the way they think about the intersection between work and themselves. To do this, I have to find places for my writing to be read and I need to write where others will find me.
With this in mind, I'm trying an experiment— a writing experiment: what would happen if I offered to write for you? What if I wrote a blog post or article for anyone who would like to have something by me? And, what if I asked you to help me find more places to write?
The risk here is that nothing may come of this.
I am afraid that no one will respond and that I'll feel embarassed for trying.
Which is why I need this to be an experiment.
I want it to be fun and I want to see what happens without the pressure, fear, and weight of failure hanging over my head.
If you have a blog or know someone that does, I will write a guest post for them. Here are the criteria (inspired by the World's Strongest Librarian)-
- A blog or online magazine of any size— from a personal blog that only your mom reads to the Huffington Post. It just needs it to be linkable.
- A idea for me to write about — preferably something connected to work, meaning, risk, fear, creativity, etc.
- A target word count — preferably 1,000 words or less.
- A topic and/or blog that I would want to be associated with (no spam, nothing criminal, or otherwise offensive material).
Come one come all and join in the writing experiment.
What happens when Dan writes for anyone that would like to feature him?
Leave a comment and tell me that you're interested. I'll follow up with you.
This can't work without you, so spread the word.
Thanks for being a part of this.
Here are some posts I got to write as a result of this little experiment. Much thanks to all of you bloggers and curators who participated!
– We're All Artist with A Divine Purpose – a theological reflection (thanks Steve!)
– Take a Flying Leap – on risk taking and letting go (thanks Kristen!)
– The Power Of "No" (thanks Wolt and the Overflow Project!)
There Are 16 Comments On This Post.
Hey Dan, sounds like a great excitement. We'd love to have write at The Overflow Project and also could connect you with a couple of others.
You can write for my blog! I'm thinking something that uses your expertise with vocation and calling and connects it to how parents support their kids in piano lessons. Maybe balancing supporting their musical exploration vs. forcing it? Or paying attention to your kids musical strengths and interests? I'm open to where you'd take these concepts!
Hey Dan, I've been doing a sweep through my brain of spaces for this that I know of or have connection to. Here is a literary magazine that some current students at SSTP are working on creating right now. Sounds like a great place to submit something. I'll keep this in mind and pass along any other leads that come to mind. You are brave!
Call for Submissions: Lit
Lit, the Seattle School's student-led literary magazine, is now accepting submissions for its second issue. All students, faculty, staff, partners/spouses, and alumni are welcome to submit their fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, or art. (See Lit's website for more details: seattleschoollit.com.)
All submissions and questions go to the editor-in-chief at email@example.com.
The submission deadline is February 15, 2014.
Hi Dan! What an exciting idea. I would love to share your experience & expertise on my blog. See the website for details. I am currently looking to expand the section entitled "What I wish I knew when I was 25." Would this be of interest to you? Thanks and talk soon! -Landa
That's a great idea. If you want, I would love a guest post from you!
A idea for me to write about : How does creativity impact our everyday spirituality? (or anything about the concept of creativity related to Christianity)
A target word count — 500 words or less.
A topic and/or blog that I would want to be associated with: stephenjmattson.com (my blog)
Heck yes.
Possible ideas:
Inspire exploring with photos and a short essay.
Let's talk!
Hi – I would love to have you write a post or ongoing posts for my site. Check it out – it's about spinning stress into success professionally and personally – and I also help people build a solid brand strategy for authors and entrepreneurs. Let me know if you're interested.
Hey Dan,
I would love to have you write for my blog!
My blog is primarily to inspire people to live more invested & engaged lives.
A topic off of the top of my head for you could be your perspective on being available for God to use you on a day to day basis.

I was watching this morning's latest video's on CNBC. As the jobs report came out ugly, I wondered how badly that would affect the market at the open. I surfed to the CNBC homepage, and fell onto this footage embedded above, showing the Mississippi Governor respond to reporters' queries, led by my CNBC longtime fave, Joe Kernen.
Jeez, my Greek compatriots, who call themselves reporters, should have a look at this. A pompous Governor Haley Barbour (R-MI) goes into his usual GOP ritual of blaming the President for all things loss of wealth to entrepreneurs and mid-classers, destroying the economy with trillion dollar wide deficits, a failed stimulus program, and shedloads more demagogy like this. BTW, the June jobs report came out ugly, as I mentioned, but the key contributors were the Local and State Government, who continue to cut jobs due to budget tightening reasons. At a given point, when the Governor's BS hit the fan, participating reporters started asking some very interesting questions. They were very civil indeed in their manners, but gradually shredded the fatso governor into pieces and threw them to the dogs! One of the reporter panel members suddenly declares: "I would have said that in the face of a Democratic Politician as well," he said, "Never believe a Politician talking about the Economy, because everything he says is self serving". Wow! That took a pair of blown-up cahones to say that in the face of an interviewed Ranking Government Official, but this is US, the land of the Free. Being a visible Politician doesn't immunize you from being a dick, and having to hear reporters tell you that in your face. Strip naked emperors in the US are told so. Not like those pretentious prats representing the Media in our European continent in general, and in my home-country in particular. If Panos Kammenos was in the US, that would be the last we heard of him, after that panel finished him in the interview, like they did to Governor Barbour. Kammenos would end up burnt out, vanished... gone!
Heard that Mr. Hatzinikolaou???

MORENO VALLEY, Calif. --Residents in Moreno Valley were told to shelter in place after several power lines fell on top of homes along Patricia and Filaree avenues on Tuesday.
The lines came down about 3:30 p.m. No injuries were reported.
Southern California Edison responded to the 25200 block of Filaree Avenue and shut the power off from Kitching Street to Filaree Street and Perris Boulevard to Gentrian Avenue, officials said.
A SoCal Edison spokesman said 2,500 customers were without power due to the downed power lines. By 6 p.m., about 200 homes were still without power. Officials said they hoped to have power back to the remaining customers by early morning.
Edison suspects the cause of the downed lines may have been a helium-filled foil balloon that started the chain reaction.

WATERS Hit Reno In New Video For "Molly Is A Babe"
WATERS' "Molly Is A Babe", described by Stereogum as "...a scathing outcry against shitty day jobs, but also somehow a feel-good go out and seize the day anthem", now has a suitably messy/happy video to accompany it directed by Jonathan Chu.
Lead singer Van Pierszalowski says, "Sometimes it's hard to come up with an idea for a music video. That was certainly not the case for "Molly Is A Babe." Ever since we all started touring together, we fell in love with Reno and went out of our way to stay there whenever we could. It's such a glorious mess of flashy lights and empty hotel rooms. We've been daydreaming and brainstorming ideas and excuses to shoot a video there for years. Luckily, Reno also inspired our new song, so it was a no-brainer. We spent the night together in Reno and brought a good friend to film it."
The Californian 5-piece will release Something More! on May 19th, 2017. Pre-order the album below!

Balance and Composure Announce Spring US Tour
Today, Doylestown, PA's own Balance and Composure announced that they will be back on the road this spring, headlining shows across the U.S. in support of their third studio album, Light We Made. After a trek across Australia and a performance at Santa Ana's When We Were Young Festival, the band will head up to Amityville, NY on April 20th to kick off this leg of dates. The tour ends in Pittsburgh, PA on May 21st and features From Indian Lakes and Queen of Jeans as the support acts.
Light We Made, produced by Will Yip (Nothing, Pity Sex), showcases Balance and Composure toning down their hardcore, punk-rock roots and presenting a record dominated by soothing, harmonic tracks. Lauded as "catchy, groovy and pensively melodic" (Exclaim!), as well as their "most dynamic and ambitious release to date" (The Prelude Press), the album fulfills "its mission to broaden the band's sound and discard any notions of close-mindedness" (Alternative Press).

WATERS Announce New Album Something More!
WATERS have a new album! The Californian 5-piece will release Something More! on May 19th, 2017. First single, "Hiccups", an energetic guitar driven power-pop ode to figuring things out, is out today.
Something More! is the band's first release since 2015's acclaimed What's Real. Written and recorded over the past year in LA, following big-time touring runs with the likes of Weezer, Tegan and Sara, and Matt and Kim, the album came together after the five-piece band returned home and were forced to confront the day-to-day realities of everyday life.
Frontman Van Pierszalowski sees Something More! as both a gut-punch and a wake-up call to his younger self. "I wanted to make a record that was communicating with my teenager self, as if to say "It's always gonna be the same shit just in slightly different contexts."...I wanted to make a mixtape, scribble notes all over the paper sleeve, get into the DeLorean, find high-school Van, and say "LISTEN TO THIS."" With that concept in mind, the band wrapped the record in some influences that the awkward teenage version of Van could listen to.
And while lead single "Hiccups," produced by Tim Pagnotta (Walk The Moon), sounds euphoric on first listen - all chant-along vocals, adolescent angst and rowdy riffs - it finds Pierszalowski bellowing "I ain't got no regrets…all my fuck-ups, all my hiccups, only brought me to you." "I wanted to express that the fuck-ups and the mistakes are a necessary part of the struggle to figure shit out. Don't beat yourself up about it so damn much," he says of the Pinkerton-inspired cut.
To that end, the bulk of the songs that comprise Something More! speak to feelings of restlessness and being alone, as well as having uber-intense issues with lovers, friends and family. But, as Pierszalowski says in explaining how in spite of this the album contains some of the most raucous, hook-driven songs of the band's career, "These songs are pop songs. They sound fun on the surface. But they are dark songs in disguise."

How's this for a Jedi mind trick?
Anakin Skywalker's transformation into Darth Vader in Star Wars was the result of a borderline personality disorder, according to a new study by French psychiatrists.
In a letter titled "Is Anakin Skywalker suffering from borderline personality disorder?" — which will be published in an upcoming issue of the journal Psychiatry Research — Eric Bui, a psychiatrist at Toulouse University Hospital, and his team state that Skywalker exhibited six out of the nine borderline-personality-disorder criteria as defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, ABC News reports. The minimum for a diagnosis is five.
Skywalker was predisposed to the condition, the researchers conclude, due to his separation from his parents at an early age. He later showed impulsiveness, violent outbursts, anger management issues, illusions of invincibility and crises of identity, all of which are borderline red flags, the study says.
Dissociative events, such as when Skywalker killed a tribe of Tuskans, triggered his descent to the dark side.

Memories of her or herBy Wade Kwon
I once dated a girl with a collapsed lung.
Or so I've been told.
A colleague asked me if I was still dating the girl who was once sent to the hospital for a collapsed lung. Sadly, I remembered none of it.
But I did eventually figure out which of my exes fit the description.
Another one was sent to the ER when her car was totaled by a drunk driver. She was fine, but man, that was a scary night.
Two I've dated had IBS. Don't ask.
One was suffering from depression. A couple were manic in general.
One had a thing about nine p.m. bedtimes, but I managed to bend that rule a few times.
A couple were crazy about their cats. A couple were crazy about their dogs.
Many were unhappy with their jobs. A couple were really raking it in.
Two or three freaked out my friends, but not all of them, and not all the same ones. Girl A might freak out one friend, but Girl B would freak out a different one.
Four left town during or after the relationship. One left the country. Three came back to town eventually.
One was a child of divorce, another lost a parent at a young age.
Three weren't from around here.
One was into pot. They all drank. A couple used to smoke, but quit years ago.
One lived less than a mile from me. One lived less than 500 feet from me.
One had a roommate, while another lived at home with her parents.
None were cheated on by me, but one cheated on me, as far as I know.
They all had siblings, I think.
I went on trips with a couple of them. I lived with none of them.
And from time to time, I remember what they were like.

Holy Trinity Church in Huddersfield is celebrating a small step in its ambitious five year project to invest in its future for ongoing ministry and witness in the town and beyond.
For two centuries, Holy Trinity Church has been a prominent feature on the Huddersfield skyline offering a place of worship, welcome and community and establishing themselves as a place of service to their community and the world beyond.
But this year – they wanted to do more – and they launched the Above and Beyond initiative which aims to raise £250,000 by 2021 to ensure a stable and secure foundation to ensure the mission and ministry of the church is safe for future generations.
The vicar, the Revd Mike Wilkins said: "As we move into our third century as a Christian community, we recognise that it is our turn to invest in the future of Holy Trinity Church and to seek the growth of God's Kingdom here in Huddersfield."
The project identifies three streams of work: The building – to focus on getting the building watertight, warm and welcoming; Resourcing its mission and ministry – through investment in children and families, youth and students and worship ministry. And thirdly: resourcing the wider church by giving to those who are less fortunate both at home and abroad.
And they are just celebrating the completion of phase 1 of the three phase building project – to make the building watertight by restoring the south side roof – with thanks to Heritage Lottery Fund's generous support of £182k - pictured left at their 200th anniversary of laying their foundatio stone last year when they heard the funding news.
Said Mike: "We are investing in our building, mission and ministry as we seek to make committed followers of Jesus and share His transforming love and we aim to dothis primarily by the generosity of the congregation's giving to God's work.
"Progress so far on this, … good!" he added.

Last July our #photocasetakeover stepped into the second round. This time our photographer 'krockenmitte' captured our instagram account for 3 days. What he did during those days plus some really good App tipps and a preview of our next #photocasetakeover candidate can be read here. Enjoy!
Photo #1
The #photocasetakeover started for me with a glittery morning view of the Lake Como (Italy). I don't know how you guys see it, but in my life my mobile phone replaced my miniature camera. It is simply so handy, you always have it in your pocket and it is receptive in less than a second. Moreover you can actually adopt the photo to the feeling you had while taking it with a few scrolls at your App. My favourite Apps are "Snapseed" and "Faded".
Photo #2
I was staggered when I looked at my first Photocase photo. It is 10 years ago that I uploaded it due to pure curiosity. And fortunately "the guys" (aka Frank and Kai) accepted it. Thats how I discovered a photo agency that inspires me quiet often since then and a very lively community stimulating me. The previous starting quote of submitting 1 photo and this one photo being accepted turned more or less into a 1/10 rate. But in fact, it makes everything much more exciting.
Photo #3
The App "Tiny Planet" warps panorama photos into small planets. With the App "RollWorld" you can actually create the same effect but with videos instead of photos discovering new perspectives. I test this at different locations and I really liked the "dunking-effect" at the aquarium.
Photo #4
As co-driver in a tunnel I cant't resist to take a few long-time shots. The App "NightCap" suits very well for this matter. Mostly science-fiction related scenes are created.
Photo #5
The Ted talk of Cesar Kuriyamas inspired me to take a 1 second video every day. This is how I created a collection of live-seconds. Recently I heard about the poetry slam of Julia Engelmann, which I found very suitable: "And one day baby, we will be old. Oh baby, we will be old and think of all the stories that are forever ours." Copyrights with music videos are problematic. So I changed the melody of "cloud atlas" on the piano a little. The website www.freesound.org offers a great deal of sounds and songs.
Photo #6
As graphic designer who also takes photos I often look out for design, repetitions and proportion in the photos. Due to the bird's eye view a parking spot at the Olympic tower transforms into a sheet of music of the steel sonata.
Photo #7

Photocase photos inspire me quite often. They are scenes of life and so often they tell a story, to some extent very private stories. I was fascinated by the idea of arranging them in the form of a short movie, just like "La jetée", which tells the story line in form of photos. I used the #photocasetakeover for the very first #photocaseminimovie, which I named: "The call". The App "iMovie" makes it pretty easy, as you can string the photos together, put zoom functions on them and highlight them with music. Thanks to the photographers:
inkje (one + two)
Photo #8
I refer to this tree as "dream-tree". He deserves it, I think. Every time I pass by this particular tree he shows off from his best side, which is why the tree is one of my most photographed motives at Photocase .
Photo #9
"The Girl From Havana" is my personal favorite. The photo was taken at the Malecón in Havanna after a short storm. The "girl" is my wife, who is mostly fine and very patient with my photocase and instagram timeouts. <3
Photo #10
"The toy clarinet", is the second #photocaseminimovie. Time traveling into the 60's. The 'Super-8' camera effect is created by the help of the "8mm" App. Thanks for the insights into the family photo album:
knallgrün (one + two + three)
Photo #11
My #photocasetakeover has reached its finale. It was a lot of fun to slip into another account. Thanks for your trust Photocase!
And because it was so much fun for us as well, we are happy to announce the next round starting at 7th of September 2015. This time illmedia is running our instagram account. We are excited what to expect this time!

One of Grammy sponsor Heineken's spots from Publicis, New York that aired is called "Piracy," and shows a guy downloading music to his MP3 player and then heading to the fridge for a beer, only to be confronted by an empty six pack, thanks to his roommate's pilfering. The tagline: "Piracy is so wrong."
Dan Tearno, VP-corporate affairs, said Heineken had been in contact with the Grammy organizers and was aware of the industry's attempts to confront the problem of music theft. He added that the company liked to play into contemporary themes and appeal to consumers "from the neck up."
`what's the download'
The Recording Academy, which organizes the Grammys, also kicked off its own wide-ranging campaign on the CBS awards show. The Recording Academy is working with public relations firm Edelman, New York, on an initiative titled, "What's the Download." Edelman ad agency Blue produced the public service announcements (See the spot at AdAge.com QwikFIND aap35c).
One PSA, which CBS aired, features a girl downloading music at her computer juxtaposed with kids dancing in a club. As the download completes, the music starts to die and the lights go out in the club. The spot aims to show how the music industry is shrinking as a result of illegal downloads.
Edelman and the Recording Academy spent eight months in focus groups with youngsters before tweaking initial ad concepts. Focus-group research found teens and young adults brought up on shows such as MTV's "Cribs," did not respond well to pleas from rich pop stars about how their rights were being violated. "They did care about what the artists thought," said Ron Roecker, senior director-communications at the Recording Academy, but didn't want to hear it straight from them.
"There was such confusion about what is illegal," said Mr. Roecker, explaining that unlike other campaigns, this is not aimed at threatening anyone with legal action, but rather to get consumers thinking about what's ethical. "We are not so naive to think we'll change behavior overnight," he added. An accompanying Web site, whatsthedownload.com, launched Feb. 8.
Separately, PepsiCo. is airing an ad produced in conjunction with Apple iTunes that promotes a music giveaway. The spot, from BBDO Worldwide, New York, part of Omnicom Group, appears to glamorize the youngsters who have attracted record-company lawsuits. The youngsters talk about how they'll continue to download free music because of the giveaway to the tune of "I fought the law, and the law won."

Painter Richard Carline was born in Oxford in 1896, into a family of artists. In 1913, Carline and his artist brother, Sydney, attended Percyval Tudor-Hart's art schools in Paris and Hampstead. During the First World War, Carline enlisted in the Royal Flying Corps and, along with Sydney, became an Official War Artist, specialising in aerial landscape paintings.
After the war, Carline moved back to his family home at 47 Downshire Hill in Hampstead, and began sharing a studio at 14a Downshire Hill with his siblings. In 1921, he enrolled at the Slade School of Art. During the 1920s, Downshire Hill became a meeting place for Carline's artistic circle, which including Stanley Spencer and his brother Gilbert, Mark Gertler, C. R. W. Nevinson and Henry Lamb.
In 1934, Carline met fellow painter Nancy (née Higgins), who had also studied at the Slade School. They married in 1950 and had two children together.

All old AMOS games re-released
I started programming on a Commodore Amiga computer when I was 12 and I made quite a lot of little games and even some applications. I used AMOS Basic, which was a cool thing to develop multimedia stuff without knowing a lot. Until 1996 I used the name Scum Amiga Software.
I think I found all more or less important AMOS projects on my hard disk and prepared usable ADFs from them (Amiga Disk Files). You can download them on this site and use them with emulators like WinUAE or real Amiga computers. Der Rasenmäher is a really funny game, but don't expect too much from the rest… I was young!

The 55-year-old bottle of Glenfiddich Janet Sheed Roberts Reserve is one of only 11 bottles. Valued at $50,000 to $70,000, it's hoped the bottle will establish a Canadian record for the most expensive bottle of scotch sold when it's auctioned off on Friday night, the Liquor Control Board of Ontario said Wednesday in a release.
More than 1,100 lots of rare wines valued at $2.3 million will also be offered for bidding at the two-day event.
Some options will include an almost unheard of six-litre bottle of 1972 wine from Domaine de la Romanee-Conti, an estate in Burgundy, France, as well as full cases of DRC from 1982 and 1986. Perennial favourites, such as cru classes Bordeaux, will be available, as well as selections of American cult wines, including the largest assortment of Sine Qua Non ever auctioned by the LCBO.
Friday's bidding gets underway at 8 p.m. in the Trump International Hotel and Tower's grand ballroom in Toronto, while the Saturday auction is slated to take place at Waddington's Auction House starting at 10 a.m.
Proceeds will go to Wounded Warriors, a not-for-profit organization that assists and improves the quality of life of wounded Canadian soldiers and their families.
This is the 11th annual auction put on by Vintages, the fine wine and premium spirits division of the Ontario liquor board.

|Traditional Chinese
|Simplified Chinese
Raymond Chow Man-Wai GBS (born 8 October 1927) is a Hong Kong film producer, and presenter. He is responsible for successfully launching martial arts and the Hong Kong cinema onto the international stage. As the founder of Golden Harvest, he produced some of the biggest stars of the martial arts film genre, including Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, and Tsui Hark.
Early life[edit]
Chow, who is of Hakka Han ethnicity, attended Saint John's University, Shanghai,[1] and graduated with a B.A in journalism in 1949. In 1951 he joined the Voice of America office in Hong Kong.[2][3] He also studied martial arts under master Lam Sai-wing.
Film career[edit]
Chow was the head of publicity and the production chief of Shaw Brothers between 1958 and 1970. He leased Cathay's studio and contracted its exhibition chain of 104 cinema theatres in Southeast Asia.[4] At the time Cathay was a predominant force in the Malaysian film industry.
When Cathay wanted to end the company's association in Hong Kong, Chow left Shaw Brothers to establish Golden Harvest in 1970. Chow capitalized on the Shaw Brothers who had a system that limited creativity, and was able to lure Bruce Lee into Golden Harvest, making it a serious competitor to Shaw Brothers. Under Chow's leadership, Golden Harvest would become the cornerstone for Hong Kong cinema leading HK box office sales for two decades from the 1970s to 1980s.[1]
Whilst he is credited with producing many films, in the audio commentary for the UK release of Zu Warriors from the Magic Mountain, Tsui Hark in conversation with Bey Logan who asked the elementary question of Chow's role as a film producer, explained that this credit is mostly meaningless. Tsui stated that any producer's role at the studio was often nothing more than to greenlight and insure funding the project, and that producers such as Chow would rarely if ever set foot on the set during the making of the film.[5] Raymond Chow officially announced his retirement in Hong Kong on November 5, 2007.[6]

Copper Age
The Copper Age refers to the period when copper was widespread in the making of tools, utensils and weapons. It occurred between the Neolithic (or Stone Age), and Bronze Age.
Unlike the "ages" preceding and following it, the Copper Age (Also termed "Chalcolithic") did not always occur, as copper was difficult to find in the early days, so alloying was experimented with very early. Also, its use generally coincided with the use of stone. It never occurred at all in cultures where the technology went straight from stone to bronze, as was often the case.
The island of Cyprus in the eastern Mediterranean was the chief source of copper in the ancient Mediterranean and Mesopotamian world. This is reflected in its name which comes from the same root as copper. ("Copper in Latin is "cyprium", or in full: "cyprium aes", literally "metal of Cyprus".)(1)
