So, the Big Day is fast approaching. The prayers are ongoing, the outfits and meals are being readied, and the banns are being read. The groom has a glowy grin as he gazes at the now-customized rings. A few people have remarked that I look radiant, but the last one was shocked that I didn't seem anxious. Moi?
Um. From time to time as we've been planning our wedding, we have needed--okay, at least one of us has needed--a dose of perspective. This is a time of growth, and our merciful God provides the necessary lessons.
First, all this coordination can be stressful, but then, so too was the singles scene; and at least our current stress is meaningful. As The Sheepcat noted, some of the guys I dated weren't good for me. And hey, same for him! I'm thrilled that The Sheepcat is the only man I need ever date again.
Second, we've had several sick and dying loved ones. The Sheepcat mentioned some of them in a previous post. When significant invitees are either feeling too poorly to attend, or have departed this life during the engagement period, the long view comes pretty fast.
Third, it's helped to poke fun at The Wedding Industrial Complex. Certain vendors seem to sell the idea that each marrying couple is producing its own mandatory gala-of-a-lifetime to top the Oscars. Perhaps in this era of serial monogamy and cohabitation, the wedding night no longer feels special to most couples, so a compulsion emerges to be more and more extravagant with the guests.
The Sheepcat and I do appreciate fine liturgy, food, and music; but we're ultimately preparing to receive a sacrament. The opportunity to dine with guests after the Mass is a bonus. We have truly appreciated the generosity of our family and friends; the wise counsel of those responsible for our formation and those whose advice we have sought; and especially the prayers of hundreds of supporters. And while there is no one day when we would ever be able to assemble everyone we'd prefer to have with us--this being earth, a place of finitude--we are looking forward to the presence of our wedding party and guests as we exchange our consents before God.
When we attended our one and only bridal expo, I was even more disturbed than I expected by the atmosphere of materialism, instant gratification, and lack of attention to the enduring marital relationship; and not least because these tendencies are antithetical to the Courageous life in which I'm trying to support The Sheepcat. I concluded that I was more grateful than ever for all the gifts that we already have, not least the absolute luxury of substantial daily prayer together. I later turned the show lanyard identifying me as a bride into a keychain holder, and its "I SAID YES!" tag into a topper for a anniversary card I made with Japanese paper. Other than these items--which were actually worth our $30 admission price--we haven't used any of the expo vendors' ideas. We chalked the event up to experience and turned it into a running joke.
The Sheepcat was immediately clear that he isn't a chair-cover kind of guy. Not a problem. We aren't too worried about being matchy-matchy (honestly, local readers, even though we continually show up in co-ordinated outfits, we've never actually planned this). Since we're combining two adequate kitchens already (yes, dear readers, we're older than we look), we're not even registered with a store. In our subsequent travels, I noted a few other superfluous offerings, according to the chronology of a wedding day. When I say superfluous, I'm referring to our own wedding; if these things float your boat, please tell us about them in the combox.
So here are Ten More Bridal Expo Things I've Assured The Sheepcat I Don't Need:
- posed photos of the bride dressing from inside-out
- a garter (enough said)
- hookerwear on my bridesmaids
- a dove or butterfly release
- transportation by horse-drawn carriage--or hall entry by motorcycle
- an ice sculpture
- a chocolate/vanilla/strawberry-flavoured fountain
- bobble-head cake toppers and wedding party gifts
- bomboniere engraved with Sopranos, Maple Leafs, or Ferrari themes
- fireworks (well, at least of the visible persuasion!)
Summing up our findings with our dear, brilliant limo driver (the limo is used, and it's the family car, because that's the cheapest option he's found for conveying his growing family), we were given this piece of wisdom: The wedding day is very special indeed, but the notion that it's The Best Day of Your Life is incorrect. "Know why? Because the next day, you wake up together, and you're married. And the day after that, you're married." And so on, till death do us part. Amen to that.

The marketing objectives of the new website are three-fold:
- Position website for strong search engine ranking, which would be generating high Internet traffic, by creating a platform that is capable to accommodate a large volume of content.
- Set-up conversion architecture that efficiently converts visitors. (The old website generated a relatively good level of internet traffic, but it had very poor conversion rates due to poor navigation and design flows.) The website must appeal to three different type of athletes, (cyclists, triathletes and CrossFit athletes) who are the core customers of the business. It has to appeal to different needs of the athletes, such as clothing and equipment, lab testing, nutritional advice and products, performance tracking and coaching.
- A website which supports community building around the TrainingFX brand among potential customers.
We built the new site on Joomla platform utilizing some of the newest components such as the award winning K2, which is designed to display and manage large volumes of pages in a user friendly Internet magazine style.
Joomla has been an excellent choice for the project. It offers the user-friendliness of WordPress in the back-end, but it also offers a much more robust solution for content structure than WordPress. Even though in phase one, we did not re develop the old online store, we had to create a three level product catalogue to provide an adequate and intuitive navigation structure.
As part of the Conversation Architecture, we designed a set of web 2.0 style icons and call-to-action banners. We also set up a multi-user blog platform that feeds the blog entries of TrainingFX's athletes to Product Reviews, Testimonials and Moments of Glory.
A large part of the content on the site is the FAQ section. The questions are channeled by Joomla's K2 tagging system to the product pages in a way so that only the relevant FAQs are displayed on the given page. To give a sense of the volume of information we structured and uploaded, the site was launched containing over 300 pages.
Phase one of TrainingFX.com has been a very challenging but very rewarding project. Completing the website on time, within the very tight project timeline of ten weeks, was a significant achievement on its own. We have been receiving awesome feedback ever since the site was launched. We are looking forward to starting the phase two of the project, which is the redevelopment of the online store and automating the various processes - payment, shipping, fulfilment, inventory control and bookkeeping. Once this project is completed, it will be a superior business solution and one of the most prominent online stores of its kind in North America.

"A Little OCD" How to Cut Back on Worrying and Conserve Your Mental Energy for What's Most Important
We all fall somewhere on the OCD spectrum. I help high school students and college students develop an awareness of their thoughts and understand that not everything they think is automatically true. Knowing how to not worry about things that haven't happened yet (or may not happen at all) is just shy of a mental superpower. After seeing me speak, students have the tools to practice mindfulness and focus their mental energy on what's truly important to them.
-From time-to-time, we'll feel stressed about something and the more we try to solve it, the bigger the problem seems. I give students the tools to refocus their attention when they are dizzy from overthinking and to discern whether their problem is something within their control or is a made-up, negative story about themselves or their future. I teach how to dismiss those worries that tend to be most energy-draining and to pass on engaging with them in the future.
-We all have a voice in our heads that narrates the world for us. Often, that voice focuses on the negative and makes up negative stories when there isn't anything negative to talk about. I help students become aware of that voice, realize that the voice isn't always right, and train that voice to focus on the positive.
-We take massive action when our phones get to 2%. But we often let ourselves get to 2%. If students proactively maintain a healthy charge throughout the day, they'll be less reactive to stress and more likely to feel happy, healthy, and energized in going after their goals.
I have been a guest speaker at nearly 100 colleges in 35 states, including NYU, Syracuse University, Cornell University, Marquette University, Brown University, John Hopkins University, Duke University, Muhlenberg College, Indiana University, Illinois State University, the University of Missouri, the Rochester Institute of Technology, the University of Alabama, Quinnipiac University, and Villanova University.

Love IS Easy! I'm ready!
What others have to say
about working with Thema
Click here to read testimonials
I asked myself what would happen to my emotional and spiritual growth if I could learn to love my mate like the Divine loves me. Something in me initially felt that was weak or made me unsafe. I recognized in that moment that I did not have a blueprint for what I desired. So I summoned one. After 30 days away from my Master Teacher, my Twin Flame, in the ocean waters of Tortola washing away the parts of my ego that sabotaged love's power in my experience, I came home whole and able to BE what I was seeking. I created this program to impart that power and divine feminine awakening in every woman recognizing that she too, was not given the blueprint for unconditional love but feels a calling in her spirit to learn to experience love in new ways.
As women we can birth anything we need.
That includes our complete fulfillment in our love lives.
It is the gift of the Divine Mother.

Space Battleship Yamato
Oh, I fondly remember watching the anime Space Battleship Yamato
as a little kid, so it's a neat treat to find this replica of the Yamato (or Argo in the American dub of the series, retitled Star Blazers) made with LEGO by Vincent Cheung: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=3657506 - via The Brothers Brick
Newest 5 Comments
Yep. Very cool. I was going to mention that I dont see any way to do the Wave Motion Gun with Legos. It's hard to make a hole. First anime series I saw as a kid late 70's early 80's. I'm 33 now.
@ted: 1) because it's fricken cool 2) As I remember, they built it from a derelict seagoing battleship that was abandoned to hide the fact that it was going to be a space-going battleship. 3)Watch the goddamn series.
Where is the Wave Motion Cannon?
It is based off a real battleship that was used in WWII. The looks are almost identical.

ST. LOUIS (KMOV.com) -- Drug dealers are moving off street corners and onto Craigslist. First there were the prostitution ads, then a wave of job opening scams on craigslist.
Now, a new trend advertising illegal drug sales on the popular web site has been gaining steam.
This weekend the trend was exposed when an undercover sting in New York busted 21 for selling drugs on Craigslist.
It's not a problem just on the East Coast- parents in St. Louis need to know it's here too.
In a test to see what kind of availability the drugs had in the St. Louis community, we typed in the commonly abused drug Xanax and found two ads. It's no surprise to the Drug Enforcement Agency.
"This is just one other marketing tool that organizations use to try to penetrate into an area," said DEA Special Agent James Shroba. "It's all about profit, and if they can exploit greed and if they can use Craigslist to establish a new market, that's the endgame for them." Schroba is the agent in charge of the St. Louis area.
With the transactions being out in the open, many wonder how the sellers get away with it. It's almost like setting up at a flea market or farmers market or a garage sale and selling pills out in the open. But according to narcotics officers, it's not that simple.
"There's no boundaries for craigslist St. Louis," Schroba said. "You could have someone in Louisville, Kentucky or San Francisco, California placing an ad on Craigslist here."
So far in St. Louis only prescription medicine has been listed. Most ads are trying to sell meds like oxycontin, morphine and vicodin. These drugs are harder to detect when shipped and part of the explosion in prescription drug abuse.
The DEA is going after those behind the ads.
"We exploit the information that we find there to track back to these particular individuals and we work up our cases and we try to bring organizations that are behind these to justice," said Schroba
Police say most of the drugs for sale were legally prescribed and later stolen from medicine cabinets.

As the years have went by and with more and more network marketing opportunities arising I decided to try some of them. If you are an avid reader of my blog you will see that I have given my opinion on various home business opportunities out there. I have been involved with opportunities such as Essante Organics, Global Domains International, OurLoot2Boot, and my last opportunity which was Instant Rewards. I am going to give you a detailed review of each company and I am going to let you decide if you want to try it or not. Please note that I am not going to include any links as I am not here to promote.
Lets start off with Essante Organics. This is a MLM company that offers organic products such as hair shampoo, body wash, toothpaste, mouthwash, face wash, etc. I signed up for it when it was fairly new in 2011. There was a company that was working with them as a coop program called Essante Team Builder. They guaranteed that in 10 months you would be making a minimum of $2000 simply by staying in. This company quickly pulled out saying that they had a "better opportunity". They were still honoring the money back requests though for people who qualified.
I was not impressed with the products. The shampoo and the body wash made my skin really dry. The toothpaste wasn't anything special either. They were also very expensive and in order to stay in the ETB program you needed to get a new supply every month which ran into like $80 a month. I am not sure how their products are nowadays and their costs. This was when I was apart of them. I only stayed in for a month so I didn't really give myself long enough in this program. However, based on the results I saw from their products I decided it was time to try something else.
I signed up for Global Domains International back in November of 2012. This was a cheap enough service of only $10 a month which gave you a .ws domain name and a site builder. I advertised this company and got a decent amount of leads. However, I was not impressed with the site builder and lets face it, people can go to GoDaddy and purchase a domain and hosting for much cheaper. The .ws domain names are not impressive to people either.
I tried this other network marketing method which includes OurLoot2Boot and Instant Rewards which are involved with trial offers for Fortune 500 companies such as Walmart, Netflix, Discover Card, etc. In order for you to make money you need to do a trial offer. This includes entering your credit card info and sometimes paying a little bit of money for a trial. You then need to call and cancel before your membership is set to renew. I personally never had a problem cancelling these like some people claim to. However most people do not want to put their credit card information in. I made a little bit of money with OurLoot2Boot when this was a new form of marketing back in 2010. I signed up for Instant Rewards a few months ago and I never made a dime.
Now before all of you "successful" network marketers say that I just was not trying that is far from the truth. When I was with all of these programs aside from Essante I was with them for several months. I marketed them via websites such as Craigslist and my own personal site. I also use traffic exchanges and did everything that I was suppose to. The only thing that I refused to do was to make it look like Instant Rewards was a real job and con people in to signing up over the phone. This is the new form of marketing that is taking place to get people to sign up. You are to place very broad ad's online and have people call you. You then are suppose to give an "interview" and then an "orientation". The orientation is having the people sign up with you over the phone. This is so when they ask why they need to use their credit card you can rebuttal them and get the sale. I find this a bit deceptive.
Now I am not saying that these companies scam their workers by not paying them. I hear that all of them pay on time. However it is VERY tough to even make a buck in this business. People are onto the games out there and they are not very receptive to signing up. If you have a real sales personality and love being on the phone talking people into stuff then maybe you can do well at these opportunities. However, most people will not make much (if any) money at all.

GARNER, IA (AP) - Officials have approved a permit for a hog confinement facility in northern Iowa despite opposition from local residents.
The Globe Gazette in Mason City reports that the Hancock County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the project at a meeting on Monday. A handful of residents urged the county to deny a permit for the facility which will house thousands of hogs.
Gloria Goll of Klemme says residents in the area are concerned about their wells and their health.
The public hearing was set after the county board received a construction permit application from DLH Enterprises VII LLC for a concentrated animal feeding operation, commonly known as a CAFO.
Supporters say the three company's plans make use of a newer design and newer technology.

British combat veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan are up to four times less likely to suffer PTSD than their American counterparts, but are more likely to drink to dangerous levels, a new study reports.
British troops' shorter tours of war zones and better health care are partly responsible for a significant difference in the number of troops reporting the disorder.
A review of research into troops mental health found around seven per cent of British combat troops suffered PTSD, whereas some US studies have put the figure at 29 per cent for American troops.
Researchers at the King's Centre for Military Health Research at King's College London, blamed the difference on American troops serving abroad for 12 months, rather than the six months of the British forces.
America's armed forces also contain more younger troops from poorer backgrounds and use more reservists, who are more prone to suffer mental health problems than their regular comrades.
Dr Deirdre MacManus, lead author of the study, said: "Overall, UK military personnel have remained relatively resilient in spite of the stresses endured in Iraq and Afghanistan."
However the study said "harmful drinking" was a cause for concern, with about one in five British regulars drinking too much.
It said: "Aggressive and violent behaviour is also more likely among those returning from deployment, particularly soldiers in combat roles who are experiencing mental health problems. UK troops are more likely to report problem drinking that their US military colleagues."
Veterans charities have warned that they expect the number of ptsd cases from the past 13 years of fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan to climb steadily over the next decade.
Peter Poole, Deputy Chief Executive for the veterans mental health charity Combat Stress, said: "With Combat Stress seeing an increase in demand for its services every year we know we will see the legacy of the conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan for years to come. It is vital that we are able to deliver effective support to these brave men and women so they can return to fulfilling lives."

Lost my search function, can anyone help?
Hello everybody,
Let me take a moment to say that this forum is an incredible source of information. I completely skipped over Vista after using XP since it came out and whoa! the change has been very nice! Loving every bit of 7.
I am running build 7201, 32 bit. I am having a big problem though, for some reason my search function is missing from the start menu. I think it was my fault, I somehow removed it when I was making an attempt to tweak 7 being a complete noob!! I tried looking for the "Windows search" function in the services.msc panel, but no luck. Is there any way I can re-enable search without reinstalling.
Thank you in advance for your patience and help!

Hello MrDoNotBreak, and welcome to Seven Forums.
By defualt, search is only handled through the search line in the Start Menu. However, you can use this tutorial to add it to dark right side of the Start Menu.
You can also press the Windows Key + F to open the search window.
If you do not have the Windows Search service, then double check in Windows Features to make sure that Windows Search is checked.
Hope this helps,

As a test, go ahead and uncheck it to uninstall it and click on OK. Afterwards, check it again to reinstall it to see if that may reset it to work properly again.
If not, then you might see if running a sfc /scannow command may be able to fix it.

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted at Breaking the Spine. The purpose is to spotlight upcoming releases that we are excited for.
Saving Hamlet by Molly Booth
Hardcover: 352 pages
Publication date: Disney-Hyperion
Publisher: November 1st 2016
Add on: Goodreads
Emma Allen couldn't be more excited to start her sophomore year. Not only is she the assistant stage manager for the drama club's production of Hamlet, but her crush Brandon is directing, and she's rocking a new haircut that's sure to get his attention. But soon after school starts, everything goes haywire. Emma's promoted to stage manager with zero experience, her best friend Lulu stops talking to her, and Josh–the adorable soccer boy who's cast as the lead–turns out to be a disaster. It's up to Emma to fix it all, but she has no clue where to start.
One night after rehearsal, Emma stays behind to think through her life's latest crises and distractedly falls through the stage's trap door . . . landing in the basement of the Globe Theater.
It's London, 1601, and with her awesome new pixie cut, everyone thinks Emma's a boy–even Will Shakespeare himself. With no clue how to get home, Emma gamely plays her role as backstage assistant to the original production of Hamlet, learning a thing or two about the theater, and meeting an incredibly hot actor named Alex who finds Emma as intriguing as she finds him. But once Emma starts traveling back and forth through time, things get really confusing. Which boy is the one for her? In which reality does she belong? Will Lulu ever forgive her? And can she possibly save two disastrous productions of Hamlet before time runs out?
This sounds like such a fun time travel! I love that she gets mistaken for a boy and (hopefully in the book will) just roll with it! Hamlet's not my favourite play but I always do love a little Shakespeare!

Study Reveals Disconnect Between Brand Ad Buyers and Sellers
Brand advertisers can't find the kinds of ads they want, and media companies don't know how to sell to them, according to a report released today.
Brand advertisers can't find the kinds of ads they want, and media companies don't know how to sell to them, according to a report released today.
Big brand advertisers are from Mars, while online publishers are from Venus. At least, that's the gist of a new report from consulting firm Bain & Company and the Interactive Advertising Bureau.
The "Building Brands Online" study, which Bain presented today at an IAB gathering of marketing, advertising, and media industry executives in New York, finds several disconnects between what big brand advertisers are looking for in an online media buy, and what online publishers can offer them. However, some argue advertisers are asking too much of publishers.
Bain interviewed more than 700 brand advertisers, agencies, and publishers, and found that online ad formats have not evolved to meet the needs of brand advertisers. According to John Frelinghuysen, a partner in Bain & Company's media practice and lead author of the study, brand advertisers are looking for more brand-building opportunities online, and they aren't finding them.
"Ultimately, marketers are looking for media companies to offer a true triple-play service model from direct response to awareness to high impact brand engagement," Frelinghuysen said in a statement. "This model is the key to staving off continued price erosion of online inventory."
Brand advertisers reported that they would like to see online publishers create separate offerings for brand-building and direct response, and to develop more engaging ad options and formats, including social networks, video, and other rich media. Ideally, they'd rather have media companies help them create integrated campaigns instead of offering platform-specific media programs, according to the report.
"Because of the way the medium has grown up, publishers, marketers, and agencies have all fallen into the trap of trying to use direct-response ad units as branding vehicles," Brian Wiener, CEO of digital agency 360i, told ClickZ. There is movement toward improving this problem, particularly with online video opportunities, he said.
While online media providers have always boasted of the measurability of online compared to offline ads, the report finds that the metrics being used don't always match up with the needs of brand advertisers, who are looking for ways to measure online ads that more closely match those they've been using for years offline.
Brands have long been measuring the effect a TV campaign has on things like purchase consideration, awareness, and brand favorability. One problem with doing that online lies in the cost of doing those brand tracking studies online, compared to the budgets being spent there, Wiener said.
"The cost of research as a percentage of budget is too high. It's a chicken-and-egg problem," he said. "Their online budgets aren't large because they don't have metrics, and they don't have metrics because their budgets are too small."
Offline metrics like GRP, reach, and frequency, and attitude, usage, and awareness are all measurable online, according to David L. Smith, CEO and founder of digital media agency Mediasmith. Often, the problem results from advertisers getting distracted by traffic-related metrics, which happens when their Web site teams reside in IT departments instead of in marketing, he said.
"Maybe these brand advertisers have the wrong agency. I can cite lots of examples where advertisers are using online to move the needle on brand awareness, and meet brand goals," Smith told ClickZ.
"They get caught up in click-through rates, and traffic to the site, rather than thinking about whether the advertising raises awareness, or drives people to the store to buy something," Smith said.
Besides not finding the kinds of ad inventory they're looking for, brand advertisers are encountering salespeople that don't know enough about their category or business processes to effectively help them. Brand advertisers report that media companies lack category expertise when they sell to brand marketers and engage with them too late in the media planning process.
Educating those salespeople, and creating teams specific to vertical categories, is one of the top requests of brand advertisers, according to the report. Specifically, advertisers are interested in publishers offering deeper service and customized support for vertical industries, to help advertisers plan, create, and measure the brand impact of online ads.
Expecting publishers' ad sales teams to become experts in all verticals is asking a bit much of them, according to Smith. "I don't know any advertisers on the planet that do their own TV deals with a network. They use an agency," Smith said. In the same manner, advertisers should be turning to agencies for that kind of expertise, instead of demanding it of publishers, he said.

by Randy Ray
WILLOUGHBY, the script stated. A town where one can slow down.
Peaches En Randalia #28
A loose series of thoughts entangled on the What if Phish returns? vine of reason
1)Linus Speaks (or the Good Doctor is STILL in for Five Cents or So)
They entered the house as if they had been there before. Thingsobjects, artifacts, and otherwiseappeared familiar. Time had no meaning here (neither did space, for that matter), but there was something vastly critical and important about the linear calendar on the wall. It was almost like a reunion of sorts, another form of a hello or a goodbye, that one didnt want to define, lest that sense of communal failure take hold. Indeed, we were talking about a hello here, almost as if our lives rested in a bubble of interrupted antiquity, shadowing the precise Jarnowesque nostalgic nature of our aging souls.
The Liberal Testiwait for itmony
Much has been written about the wonton need, the frenzied quest to see PHISH, again. I capitalize their name, as I have since August 2004, because it always seemed odd to speak of Phish in terms of post-Coventry, or post-lifespan. Music HAS no time or place, and to think that the bandcertainly if all members are still alive, functioning, and willingis either too old or too rusty to return is short-sighted. Music requires a sense of dedication to a subconscious bond between audience and artistand, in Phishs case, the former is very much still a factor, and the latter depends upon confidence, desire, and materialold, new, hidden, yet to be discovered, or, YEM five times a day for a left nut.
As they reached the apex of the hill, he saw it and he knew it had always been there, and felt foolish for overlooking the door for so long. At first, he tried to ignore it, but he soon found that it was impossible, and slowly his newly acquired knowledge transformed his dreary life into a prison from which there was only one escape. And on this morning, Colonel Forbin stepped through the door…
2)Mowing and Pruning
Yet another round of new/old/WOW, theyre fantastic! at the Roo. Wellthat was ironic, or a self-fulfilling prophecy as I headed to Tennessee. The act that I enjoyed the most at this years Bonnaroo was Abigal Washburn & the Sparrow Quartet featuring Bela Fleck. Long name but they play short, sweet music that unites East and West sensibilitiesunique bluegrass without a note of false musty pretense. Perhaps, it is a sign of approaching mellowness in my lifeI think notbut I found the Quartets music to be sincere, exquisite, and rehearsed to the point that they were allowing moments of free expression that are not always found in so-called mature and formal neo-classical music within an Americana framework. Their graceful songs progressed forward with a whiff of wise experience; albeit, without the dispirited tinge of bitter regret that creates a rift between an audience and artist. Musty mature mellowness? No. No, not at all.
A Stop at Willoughby
Gart Williams is an advertising executive who has grown exasperated with the stress of the business life and whilst being unable to sleep properly at home, constantly drifts off for short naps on the train during his daily commuting and dreams of a peaceful place called 'Willoughby.' After he finally snaps at his workplace, he exits the train while in his dream so he can live in Willoughby. In reality, he jumped off the train to his death. His body is eventually loaded into a hearse owned by Willoughby & Son Funeral Home.
3) Weird Scenes Inside the Gold Mine
I waited for the banging and thumping to stop, but it wouldnt. Kanye was going to have his way, and I would sit inside this train, this way station between the past and present until I had figured out that sometimes, as an artist or a scribe or a painter or a poet or a photographer or a scenemaker or a documentarian, one just needs a bubble of peaceor is it clarity that one seeks and not that moment of artistic silence? Alices rabbit hole, or that room at the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey, or Gamehendge, or Bonnaroo, or is it mythical Willoughby, a fantastical realm that only resides in ones imagination? Is imagination enough to wrest triumph from defeats grasp? I ponder these issues, sifting for gold in the deep, dark mine of my mind while continuing to enjoy timeless music, whether it is the soothing soul music of Solomon Burke, the wall-shattering sounds of Dumpstaphunk, the angelic voice of Alison Krauss wedded to the arch masculine wit and charm of Robert Plants pipes, or is it found in the new and beautiful tunes on the recent Licorice EP, shuffled into play after another listen to that glorious thunder of Phish as they skull-fuck through another fine set at the Hampton in November 1997? Questions, they say, are more important than answers, and as my nearly five-year-old son reels off another series of Why? questions, I smile, because, for him, at least, he still sees the world with the eyes of a child, and we all must return to that feeling from time to time.
I used to jump on message boardsand there werent that many back in the mid-1990sand lurk, laugh, curse, and glean, before wading back into my own Phish-loving solitude. It is comical that I cant go on a board for more than five minutes these days without someone asking me about the future of Phish. What I know is limited and locked away, but what I can say is that my questions outweigh the answers, and, I too, was proud of the Phab Phour as they, once again, stood as a united work of art at the Jammys. And yet, I linger long, and tread the boards, as well, hoping for that inevitable announcement which turns a second hiatus into a moment of profound clarity: We were done. Now, we are just a band, looking for some fans to help celebrate some new and old tunes. Interested?

| Batman Begins
The Dark Knight
The Dark Knight Rises
- "Mister Wayne, if you don't want to tell me exactly what you're doing, when I'm asked, I don't have to lie. But don't think of me as an idiot."
- ―Lucius Fox[src]
Lucius Fox is a weapons expert and a high-ranking member of Wayne Enterprises.
Batman BeginsEdit
- "Didn't you get the memo ?"
- ―William Earle[src]
Fox is a research head and friend of Thomas Wayne who is demoted by Wayne Enterprises CEO William Earle to overseeing the supplies of Wayne Enterprises' aborted research projects and prototypes. Upon returning to the business, Bruce Wayne strikes up a fast friendship which allows him to all but recruit Fox as his armorer for his Batman activities. Fox proves invaluable in this role, even when he is fired by Earle. Among other things, he supplies Wayne with the materials that will eventually become the Batsuit and the Batmobile. In addition, Fox provides the cure for the Scarecrow's fear toxin.
Regarding Wayne's identity as Batman, he tells Wayne "If you don't want to tell me exactly what you're doing, when I'm asked, I don't have to lie. But don't think of me as an idiot." At the end of the film, Wayne, having gained majority control of Wayne Enterprises' shares, makes Fox the company's CEO.
The Dark KnightEdit
- "Spying on 30 million people is not part of my job description."
- ―Lucius Fox[src]
In The Dark Knight, Fox is obviously aware that Bruce Wayne is Batman- at one point conversing with Wayne in the Batsuit- and actively participates in a support capacity as Wayne's armorer, providing him with additional equipment such as the Batpod and a new Batsuit designed for more efficient mobility. In addition, Fox participates in his employer's vigilante activities both in the Batcave and in the field as his technical assistant and reconnaissance expert, using his professional duties as cover. Fox eventually learns that Wayne has expanded on the sonar technology and developed an advanced surveillance system that can listen in and track the movement of any of the thousands of cell phones in the city, but to ensure that the system is not misused Bruce has designed it so that only Fox can control it. Since this essentially contradicts everything Wayne believes in, Fox agrees to help but says he will resign if the machine is not destroyed after the Joker is gone. After the Joker is apprehended, Fox enters a code (his own name) as instructed by Wayne, which activates a self-destruct function for the system, and Fox continues to work under Wayne.
The Dark Knight RisesEdit
- Lucius Fox: "These conversations used to end with an unusual request."
- Bruce Wayne: "I'm retired."
- ―Lucius Fox[src]
Lucius Fox is surprised to hear of Bruce's emergence from hiding and offers to take him on a guided tour of the Applied Sciences Division, revealing the new vehicle The Bat, possibly dropping a hint to Bruce that Batman may still be needed.
After Bruce loses his fortune and seat on the board of directors of Wayne Enterprises, Miranda Tate (Talia al Ghul) becomes the new CEO and chair of the board, replacing Lucius. Lucius' role becomes that of company president.
Following Bane's takeover of Gotham City, Fox is coerced into unlocking the Wayne Enterprises nuclear fusion reactor with his fingerprints by Bane who was holding fellow board member Douglas Fredericks gunpoint, thereby enabling kidnapped nuclear physist Dr. Leonid Pavel to prime the reactor and turn it into a functioning weapon. Fox later attempts to deactivate the nuclear reactor but Talia activates the flooding mechanism and he is forced to leave the chamber. After Bruce Wayne's "death", Lucius attends his funeral service alongside Alfred, Jim Gordon and John Blake. Sometime later, he learned about the software patch that Bruce Wayne used to fix the auto pilot problem on The Bat. Fox is once again head of Wayne Enterprises and has begun the process of rebuilding it back in a thriving company.
- Bruce Wayne - friend, partner
- Alfred Pennyworth - friend
Lucius Fox was a briliant man who was extreamly knowledgable in regards to Waynetech. He also showed the ability to modify and even create many new technologies for Batman.

It has been quite a while since I contributed to the Daily Prompt.. I know I should put more effort in… 😀 But this prompt really did interest me.. it is called Irresistible and WordPress asks you to Tell us about the favorite dish or food that you simply cannot turn down.
Well it has to be a pudding doesn't it? Normally I don't have a sweet tooth, I am more of a savoury person that desert but two puddings that I can't resist have to be the following:
Chocolate Pudding. Now who can resist that on a cold winter's day. I know I can't.
And it is such a quick pudding to do, thanks to convenience foods… all you need is a chocolate sponge mix, an egg, some water and a microwave..
Mix it up in a bowl and nuke it for 3 minutes.. whilst nuking.. open a couple of Ambrosia Chocolate Custard cartons and heat up in the microwave, once pudding is done.
Lemon Meringue Pie. Has to be my second favourite.. I just love the sharpness of the lemon, the crunch of the meringue and how it melts in your mouth.
Again.. another good tip for those of us that don't get on with that white object in the kitchen called a cooker.. Sarah Lee or Aunt Bessie.. have lovely pies. And if you are feeling real adventurous… one shortcrust pastry case already cooked.. and a lemon meringue pie mix… and the hardest part of that is whipping up the meringue until it is stiff enough.. 😀
Yes I know all the good brands :D.. cos if it doesn't come out of a packet, tin or straight from the freezer.. you don't get it. Me and cooking DO NOT MIX. And my family know it… I can't be that bad at opening these convenience foods.. cos they are still here.
It was only a little while back.. the main oven element blew and we had to have it repaired.. As my wonderful husband said.. it wasn't due to over use that's for sure.. He reckons it died of shock when I switched it on.
So my two irresistible puddings have to be those above.. ask me which one I would choose over the other and I couldn't answer you… they both tasty and very moreish. Sorry WordPress.. I just can't choose.

Panama's Canopy Tower & El Valle Jan 05—17, 2013
Posted by Jeri Langham
Related Trips
Myriads of magazine articles have touted Panama's incredible Canopy Tower Ecolodge, a former U.S. military radar tower transformed by Raúl Arias de Para when the U.S. relinquished control of the Panama Canal Zone. It sits atop 900-foot Semaphore Hill overlooking Soberania National Park. While its rooms are rather spartan, the food is excellent and the opportunity to view birds at dawn from the 360º rooftop Observation Deck above the treetops is outstanding. Twenty minutes away is the start of the famous Pipeline Road, possibly one of the best birding roads in Central and South America. From our base, daily birding outings are made to various locations in Central Panama, which vary from the primary forest around the tower to huge mudflats near Panama City, to cool Cerro Azul forest and, finally, to humid Caribbean lowland forest.
An enticing example of what awaits visitors to this marvelous birding paradise can be found in excerpts taken from the journal I write during every tour and later email to all participants. These are from the 12-page, January 2013 journal.
Everyone made it to the Observation Deck of Canopy Tower for a pre-breakfast morning of birding. The earliest to arrive heard one Slaty-backed Forest-Falcon, several Collared Forest-Falcons, one hoot from the Mottled Owl, and an incredible territorial display of sound from the Mantled Howler Monkeys. As it got lighter, we started seeing gorgeous birds on all sides of the tower. We added such beauties as Keel-billed Toucans, Scaled Pigeon, Crane Hawk, Blue Dacnis, Fulvous-vented Euphonia, and Red-lored and Mealy parrots.
We had great luck as we arrived at the Ammo Ponds, picking up Wattled Jaçana, Mangrove as well as Southern Rough-winged swallows, and Gray-breasted Martins. We barely got out of the "Tinamou" truck before the birds kept us hopping for over two hours. We had Crimson-backed Tanager; Black-throated Mango; Smooth-billed Ani; Great Kiskadee; Boat-billed, Social, and Rusty-margined flycatchers; White-tipped Dove; Variable and Yellow-bellied seedeaters; and a rare Gray Catbird. You enjoyed the immature Rufescent Tiger-Heron that Carlos called in, along with Red-legged Honeycreepers, Clay-colored Thrushes, both Barred and Fasciated antshrikes, two fighting Streaked Flycatchers, Black-throated Mango, and many more.
In Cerro Azul, at Jerry and Linda's home we had a total of 11 new species in the two hours we spent here. Clearly, the three Rufous-crested Coquettes were the highlight, but actually the Brown Violetear was the rarest for this tour. Many of you thought the male Violet-crowned Woodnymph was the best looking. Our stop at Bill and Claudia's home was incredible. The hummingbird show defies description, with hundreds of hummingbirds fighting for space at the 10 nectar feeders. Among them were Green and Stripe-throated hermits, Violet-crowned Woodnymph, Bronze-tailed Plumeleteer, White-necked Jacobin, and three hummingbirds: Rufous-tailed, Blue-chested, and Snowy-bellied.
We reached the city of Colon and had our first crossing of the Panama Canal at the Gatun Locks. At the Golden-collared Manakin lek, Carlos performed his magic and got a male in his scope for all to see with its throat feathers extended forward. The new circular trail was terrific today, producing Crested Oropendola, Cinnamon Woodpecker, Olivaceous Flatbill, Spot-crowned Antvireo, and a monster Leafcutter Ant colony that must have been 3.5 feet tall and 10 feet in diameter. The treat of the day for some of you was the great ride on the new train from Colon, on the Caribbean side, to Panama City on the Pacific side. Our car had air-conditioning and a glass ceiling for better viewing.
Carlos received a phone call that there was an army ant swarm, so we went directly to the area to see this magnificent spectacle of swarming ants and attending birds. We counted at least six Ocellated and over a dozen Bicolored antbirds, Gray-headed Tanagers, Blue-crowned and Red-headed manakins, and three species of woodcreepers.
About 8 years ago, Raúl finished building the Canopy Lodge in El Valle de Anton, which lies in the center of the largest inhabited crater in the Western Hemisphere and is second only to the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania. The Cerro Gaital Natural Monument surrounds it. Here, the rooms are magnificent, the food is as good as that of the Canopy Tower, and the bird feeders are amazing. From this base we will visit lowland grasslands, a coastline marsh, foothill forests, and often foggy, highland forest habitats, all of which are abundant with birds.
Up on La Mesa we had great luck with Tawny-crowned Tanagers, Spotted Woodcreeper, Chestnut-backed Antbird and more. On the way down the hill, Moyo stopped to see if the White-tipped Sicklebill was roosting near the huge waterfall. It was, and you all got to see this incredible hummingbird. It took me over a decade to see my first one.
Today we headed to Juan Hombrón and the extensive dry scrub and rice fields. We had a great two hours in a stretch about 100 yards long with Savannah Hawk, Garden Emerald, Sapphire-throated Hummingbird, Veraguan Mango, Yellow-crowned Parrot, Slate-headed Tody-Flycatcher, Plain-breasted Ground-Dove, Brown-throated Parakeet, Yellow-bellied Elaenia, Scrub Greenlet, Pale-eyed Pygmy-Tyrant, Lance-tailed Manakin, and many more. Further on a side road we hit paydirt with three male Lance-tailed Manakins (2 full adults and one youngster) and super looks at a Straight-billed Woodcreeper. From here we drove to the Santa Clara beach where we ate lunch at Raúl's beach house, and seven of you swam in the ocean. Later Moyo took us to his favorite spot to get Spectacled Owl and we called in three Tody Motmots, the toughest of all motmots to get anywhere.
We were halfway through lunch when Danilo roared back in the 4×4 to say that a Black-crowned Antpitta had responded to his whistle imitation of its call. We had never seen one in prior years. When we arrived at the spot, Danilo insisted it would come closer if he kept playing the tape he made at La Mesa last year. Miraculously it soon was closer and Danilo lowered the tape volume. I could not believe my eyes when I saw it hop through a close opening in the forest. Moyo again did the impossible and got his scope on it. It stayed long enough for all of us to see the magnificent head and upper body view, and then bounced away. Later we had my best ever look at Dull-mantled Antbird as it jumped up on a fallen log by the crystal-clear water.
As we were starting to enjoy breakfast, Moyo said the Orange-billed Sparrow was coming down to the breadcrumbs; we were over there in a flash. Before we left for Valle Chiquito, we looked for the Green Thorntail in the tall flowering plant over the main building and soon had the female in the scope for everyone to see. Who would have guessed that on Day 12 we could still be adding new species to our ever-growing list?

Dr. Mercola Reviews Envisioning a Bright Future: Interventions that Work for Children and Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders
We are in the midst of an autism epidemic. When I finished medical school over 25 years ago, the incidence of autism was over one in 100,000. Now it has conservatively climbed to 1 in 150, and some experts believe that if you consider the full range of autism spectrum disorder the incidence may be as high as one in 10.
It used to be that pregnant moms most feared Down syndrome, but now that fear has been replaced from having a child born with autism.
I have personally treated many hundreds of children with autism and have seen firsthand the trauma that this disorder can introduce into a family. It just tears my heart apart to see what it does. In many ways autistic children are the canaries of our society and heralding what the future of our culture will likely encounter if we don't pay attention to the causes of this disorder.
Fortunately there are some simple strategies that can be used for autism that can have quite a profound benefit. I have been inspired to collaborate with some of the leading experts in autism and participate in a think tank that will provide basic resources for those afflicted with autism.
One of the problems of seeking alternative strategies for autism, or any disease for that matter, is there is quite a bit of material to sort through.
In the coming months I will be bringing you the results of this collaboration, but I recently ran across a comprehensive resource that can provide some immediate benefit to anyone who is dealing with the challenge of this disorder.
The comprehensive resource that I want to share with you is a book called Envisioning a Bright Future: Interventions that Work for Children and Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder by Patricia S. Lemer.
The book is over 400 pages, and is appropriate for parents searching for the appropriate intervention for their child, as well as professionals who are seeking to develop a grasp of the available options out there. Envisioning a Bright Future has 17 chapters and 20 contributing authors including three by my mentors in this area, Dr. Deitrich Klinghardt, Dr. Anju Usman, and Barbara Loe Fischer.
The book explores the wide range of different treatment options available to assist those struggling with this challenge such as visual- and sound-based treatments, the connections of vaccines to autism, homeopathy, EEG neurofeedback, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), educational kinesiology, and using animals to heal autism.
Envisioning a Bright Futureis a useful encyclopedic resource that provides a basic understanding of what has been done to date, and will help you navigate the different options that are out there. In the near future I hope to post articles to supplement this material as the field is rapidly evolving.

We Love Spoilers
From the Olympics to reality television, many howl — and sue! — over spoilers. But we can't get enough of them.
If you've spent any time online in the past week or so, you've been inundated by spoilers. Perhaps not actual spoilers — information that would take the tingling shock out of who won the women's gymnastics all-around (Gabby Douglas) or who put Ryan Lochte's grill in his mouth (Piers Morgan), but talk about spoilers.
Spoilers are not a new issue — that guy has no doubt existed since telling someone who really clubbed Abel in the shocking twist ending you didn't see coming. But the concept that information wants to be free is very much of the times, the (spoiler alert) Information Age. Movie trailers show more and more of film plots and book trailers now bring that sort of spoiler-sense to the written word. Publicists have tried to staunch the tide by embargoing reviews until the day a movie opens but even The New Yorker feels free to flaut that convention. A whole new literary form, the recap, has evolved to meet the needs of people who don't just want to watch television, they want to read the plot, often before they see the show.
So let's openly admit something born out by the numbers: we love spoilers. We might love to hate them, but we also just love them. Beyond the pleasure of knowledge itself, spoilers lend focus to what can be an overwhelming amount of information — they can help you figure out what to siphon off from the Olympics fire hose or which new TV series sounds especially enticing. The term "spoiler" itself is wrong, as it would indicate that people who know the result, either by chance or choice, would be less interested in the event. The evidence against this is strong: Last week, for instance, NBC released a poll that showed that viewership of its primetime Olympic events actually increased if people had learned the result. Savvy musicians have long leaked their music out early to build up an audience. Kanye West put out advance tracks from his last album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, for months before the record was available for sale: It ended up being one of the few blockbuster records of 2011, selling over a million copies. A glance at the Twitter accounts of a number of primetime TV shows demonstrates that the creators and trade magazines think marking content as "spoilers" is a boon to their audiences. Otherwise, why would they do it so much? It's like marking content "NSFW." It makes people want to click, to spoil themselves.
Still, anti-spoiler rage is rampant. Before the Aurora shooting, the hysteria around The Dark Knight Rises prompted fans to go to uncanny lengths to not know plot points — information revealed in the ubiquitous trailers, no less. At the same time, the studio had stoked the fans' ardor for months by feeding blogs information that would, in theory, kill the shock. Did that actually make people less interested in the movie? Of course not. The Dark Knight Rises has already gobbled up almost $400 million at the box office.
Not every media entity seems to grasp that contradiction, though. As a fan of The Bachelor franchise, I have been following the lawsuit against Reality Steve, a popular Bachelor blogger, with horror for the better part of this year.
For the uninitiated, Reality Steve is a Texas man with an often juvenile sense of humor who posts twice weekly about reality TV, with a special focus on the Bachelor/Bachelorette. In recent years, he has become especially well-sourced and this winter, he managed to report who floppy-haired winemaker Ben Flajnik picked (the evil Courtney) before the show even aired. In retaliation, NZK Productions, the company behind the show, sued Steve in federal court for "tortious interference" — the notion that what he did interfered with their commerce. As the Hollywood Reporter pointed out, this was a rather novel use of the legal concept, although such virtuous actors as a tobacco company accused CBS News of interference when they aired the interviewer with whistle-blower Jeffrey Wigand (the basis for Russell Crowe's The Insider.)
That case was thrown out, but Reality Steve faced longer odds. The pressure to settle, he wrote on his blog, was intense, as he was a lone blogger and NZK had deep pockets. The case files (dug up by a Reality Steve defender, who called the whole thing "extortion") didn't necessarily paint a lovely picture of Steve. He had offered money to two unnamed contestants in order to confirm on-set rumors, promising that talking to him would be "the easiest money you've ever made." However, thanks to the $5 million penalty written into the show's contracts for revealing secrets, these contestants instead ratted Steve out to producers.
Happily for Steve fans, he announced in June that he and the producers had agreed on a settlement — he could keep spoiling so long as he didn't initiate contact with contestants. Even after that, the series' creator, Mike Fleiss, still took a sadly limited view of the role of spoilers in the contemporary entertainment experience. Just a few weeks ago, he was retweeting people who condemned Reality Steve and his ilk. This is incredibly short-sighted. The people obsessed enough to read (and care about) the outcomes of a reality series are not going to actually stop watching because they know (or think they know) the result. Ratings for the recent season finale of The Bachelorette, by the way, were the best summer numbers that ABC has seen in two years for any show.
When I was watching the women's gymnastics all-around competition last week, I did so knowing full well that Gabby Douglas had won. Hell, I knew the whole order of events: who won what, and the agony of Aly Raisman's fourth-place finish. But with that kind of suspense out of the way, I could focus on the plight of the Russians. Those girls, with their overdone eye makeup and big male coaches, suddenly seemed more like tragic figures than the villains NBC seemed to want to create. Viktoria Komova's floor routine was exquisite but I waited, tense, for her to react to the inevitable score. Had I been so focused on the Americans, I might have missed Aliya Mustafina shrugging off her coach after the disastrous balance beam —some actual emotion! Enough with the canned smiles and lame post-game interviews. And finally, even though I was 100 percent sure that Douglas would be beaming at the end, I still teared up as her family waited for the results. Nothing could have spoiled that.

It could be said that Hillary Clinton felt the "bern" on Tuesday in more ways than one.
Prior to officially losing the Michigan primary to fellow Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Clinton was snubbed by the barista at a female-owned bakery and coffee shop in Detroit who outright noted her support for Sanders over Clinton.Tuesday also happened to be International Women's Day.
Clinton posted a picture to of her visit to the coffe shop on her personal Instagram account.
In her original Instagram post she wrote "inspired by the women who started @AvalonBaker. Highly recommend the coffee too." That post was later corrected to reflect the actual name of the coffee shop, Astro, to "Highly recommend the coffee at Astro."
However, the female barista, identified as Jill M. Wilson, who was featured in the photo with Clinton replied to the Instagram post with "That's me and I'm voting for Bernie. I'd like it if you took the pic down."
Wilson's post generated a flurry of responses in support of her apparent jab and even resulted in the creation of the #imwithjill hashtag, pointing to a great divide within the Democratic Party's Establishment and populist camps.
Meanwhile, Astro Coffee also took their own swipe at Clinton on their own Instagram page. They made fun of Clinton's "to go" order and captioned the picture with "Espresso to go?!? She must be feeling the BERN ✨"
Despite Clinton's support among women, Sanders appeared to trounce her in that department during the New Hampshire primary last month, when he won in a landslide victory that was partly built on a female electorate. He beat Clinton by 11 points among women and won single women over by a staggering 26 point margin there.
