Are you headed home after your travels? Even if you aren't, at some point you will be and you may be surprised at how hard it is to fit in.
Of course if you've only been gone a few weeks it won't matter: you'll just have wonderful stories to tell. You'll be full of the energy that comes from visiting new places and meeting new people.
If you've been gone several months, you may find that life as you remember it has changed. It may not have - it may be that you have changed. How do you cope with that? How do you fit back in?
I've been through this in my own extended travels so I can share what worked for me. I was also inspired by Lynn's insightful Facebook post on this page, where she highlights some of the pitfalls of long-term travel and returning home - re-entry isn't always smooth.

Re-entry: Fitting in Back Home
Prepare to return before you leave
You know you're eventually coming back home so why not plan for it before you leave? Don't be afraid to make a few assumptions. Assume you will have changed more than the friends and family you left behind. Assume you'll be looking at the world through a different lens. Expect your tastes to be a bit different: you may no longer like fast food or weak coffee. You may be bored after so much time seeing different things. Worse, you may be boring! Not everyone will want to hear about your narrow escape from militias in Africa or your stint at an elephant training camp in Thailand. Assume you may feel just a little bit let down by your return.
Organize your living arrangements
It's all well and good to break your lease, sell your home or sublet your appartment but make sure you've made a contingency living plan for the first few months of your return home. There's nothing worse than begging a few days here and there on everyone's couch. Make a deal with a friend and offer to rent a room for a month or two when you come home. Get your family to fix up a spare room for you. Or if someone moves into your place, make sure they'll be out well before you get back. Having a home base waiting for you is one of the most caring things you can do for yourself.
Hide some money under the mattress
Figuratively, at least. No matter how tempting, once you've saved up for your trip, take a bit and stash it away - 10% of your funds is about right. This means you'll have something to come back to and if you've been traveling in cheaper countries, you may be stung by how expensive things are when you get back home. I remember returning home (which was then Geneva) after two years in Asia and needing to get a job quickly - I spent more in coffees in a day than I had for food in Bangkok!
Line up some work
If you have a job, see if you can negotiate a leave of absence. If you can't, then try to line up a bit of work to help top up that bank account. Talk to your friends and colleagues about hiring you, even for a few weeks, when you get back from your travels. Not only will it help financially, but it will reintegrate you into your home environment more quickly than if you lounge around in a torpor dreaming of a faraway land.
Stay in touch with home
These days it's so easy... an email, a Facebook post, a Tweet, a Skype call. It's nice to be cut off from 'real life' for a while but if you cut yourself off radically, don't expect to slot right back in when you come home. By keeping in touch, you'll give friends and family an opportunity to share at least part of your trip so that when you do come home, what you've done and where you've been won't seem so foreign. You'll have a little something in common.
Don't try to transition all at once
It may feel like you're stepping directly from one world into another but try to do it in stages. Once you're home hold on to parts of your trip. Your memories will help but they do fade. You were in Asia? Eat out in authentic Thai and Vietnamese restaurants. In Europe? Take a French or Italian class. South America? Join a tango, merengue or samba group. Register for a travel forum and help others plan their own trips. By keeping one foot in the past, at least for a little while, returning to the present will be less brutal.
Focus on the good stuff
No matter how disconcerting your environment when you get home, there will be some heartwarming times. Seeing your friends and family, of course, but simpler things too. Understanding the language, for example, or knowing how things 'work'. Eating familiar foods. Finding your old books and favorite scarves. Constant shower pressure and hot water. Watching films without unusual subtitles. Walking the streets without anyone staring...
And if all else fails?
Start planning your next trip!

The Famine in Somalia
Drought in Somalia is nothing new, except this year it's worse, one of the worst in 60 years. It's not just the drought though: high food prices, conflict and government instability have all contributed to what the UN officially declared a famine a few weeks ago.
Little is being done about it, though not for want of goodwill. The terrorist group Al Shabaab, with links to Al Quaeda, is in control of much of famine-stricken southern Somalia. So far the group hasn't been letting many aid groups through so essential supplies aren't reaching those in need. To escape the famine many Somalis have headed for the borders of Kenya and Ethiopia. The massive influx of refugees is straining whatever capacity there is in the camps and many starving families don't find any help when they get there - after days or even weeks of walking. They may have lost family members, especially weaker children, along the way.
Recently Al Shabaab left the city of Mogadishu and that may help aid reach some of those who are starving - we are talking about more than 11 million people, or the equivalent of the entire population of Belgium.

House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) on Sunday dismissed financial regulations that could have stemmed $3 billion or more in losses on derivatives by JPMorgan Chase & Co. because the company "should be help accountable by the market."
"There's no law against stupidity, no law against stupid trades," Boehner told ABC's George Stephanopoulos.
"And as long as the positives, money wasn't at risk, and as long as there's no risk of a taxpayer bailout– they should be held accountable by the market and their shareholders — and they are," the Speaker insisted.
Boehner also shrugged off the notion that implementation of the Dodd-Frank bank reform law could have prevented the losses.
"I don't believe there's anything in Dodd-Frank that would've prevented this activity at JPMorgan," he explained.
Boehner's comments echo presumptive Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's sentiment that the bank's losses are "the way America works."
"I would not rush to pass new legislation or new regulation," Romney said during a Wednesday interview with Hot Air blogger Ed Morrissey. "This is, in the normal course of business, a large loss but certainly not one which is crippling or threatening to the institution."
"This was not a loss to the taxpayers of America; this was a loss to shareholders and owners of JPMorgan and that's the way America works," the former Bain Capital executive explained. "The $2 billion JPMorgan lost, someone else gained."

New Spa Amenity to Focus on Integrative Healing Approaches
Farmington, PA (April 10, 2014) – "A new place to find a new you"… Nemacolin Woodlands Resort is pleased to announce that its newest amenity, the Holistic Healing Center, is now open. Located in Horizon Point, adjacent to Falling Rock boutique hotel, Nemacolin's Holistic Healing Center focuses on integrative healing methods designed to achieve life balance and wellness, and offers exclusive spa services ranging from acupuncture and therapeutic massages to healing meditation and stress relief therapies.
"The Holistic Healing Center is the brainchild of Alik Minikhanov, a licensed acupuncturist, massage therapist, healer and member of the Nemacolin Woodlands Spa team for over thirteen years. Alik's passion has been to develop a center which provides an environment conducive for healing," said Lori Shubert, Spa Director at Nemacolin. "The reality is that our owner, Maggie Hardy-Magerko, supported his efforts and dreams and saw a genuine need within the region to provide such services."
This state-of-the-art facility features four treatment rooms, a group and private meditation room, private consultation space and an outdoor multi-purpose terrace for hosting fitness and meditation classes. Under the direction of Shubert and Minikhanov, a team of spa professionals hand-selected the center's 11 dedicated treatments including two signature services, designed by Minikhanov himself – the Acu-Kila, which incorporates Russian, Swedish and Asian massage techniques as well as acupuncture, and the Acu-Vitality, which integrates massage techniques, acupuncture and energy work. "Our collection of treatments were specifically chosen to target the healing of mental and physical issues such as stress release, illness, recovery and weight loss."
The luxury resort has also developed an Advisory Board and partnered with healthcare
professionals, Dr. Lana M. Kontos, N.D., a Board Certified Naturopathic Doctor who has studied nutrition in and out of the classroom for over 30 years, and Dr. Michelle Thompson-Olson, D.O., an integrative family medicine physician who treats the root causes of health problems, not just the symptoms. Under their consultation and guidance, future developments from special events with guest speakers to expansion of onsite physicians, nutritionists and therapists are being planned.
The emphasis on lifestyle and well-being will transcend the Holistic Healing Center's walls, as Nemacolin plans a series of Wellness Weekends including, "A Life Changing Weekend of Wellness," scheduled for May 9-11, 2014. Package details and reservations are available. The resort also plans on refocusing their dining options with new Healing Menu items throughout the resort's Restaurant Collection and growing their current fitness and spa programs.
The Holistic Healing Center is open Tuesday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Appointments are now being accepted. For more information about Nemacolin's Holistic Healing Center, please visit nemacolin.com.

http://www.pcgamer.com/petition-forces- ... -pcgamertw
Loot boxes have come up rather a lot during the last few weeks, playing various roles in the likes of Shadow of War and Battlefront 2 to a pretty heated response. This has prompted a lot of conversation about whether they count as a form of gambling—now, the UK government will be forced to respond to a petition that asks for gambling laws to adapt around games with "mechanics which are essentially gambling", as highlighted by Eurogamer. In addition, Cambridge Labour MP Daniel Zeichner has submitted two questions to Karen Bradley, the UK's Secretary of State for Digital, Media, Culture and Sport on the same subject.
The petition, raised by Connor Rhys Deeley, specifically calls out loot boxes, and has over 11,000 signatures so far. 10,000 were needed to guarantee a response by the government. Here is the petition in full: "Many video game companies in recent years have introduced mechanics which are essentially gambling of which are targeted at children and vulnerable adults. While not currently considers gambling by law they do copy many traits to make them as addictive and can lead to real money being lost/earned."
"Gambling in video games mostly involves 'loot boxes' where players use virtual currency (often bought with real money) to earn in game items often worth less than what they paid (sometimes more) hence its gambling.

Unlocking the potential of genetic cures begins with using the right key
Sangamo has developed a range of capabilities that enable us to address serious and life-threatening genetic diseases with the appropriate therapeutic approach. These include best-in-class capabilities in gene therapy and genome editing, which are being deployed to produce therapeutic proteins from the liver and to generate new types of cell-based therapies. We can also regulate genes for therapeutic benefit.
Sangamo is the world leader in the development of engineered zinc finger proteins (ZFPs) which can be designed for highly specific recognition of any chosen DNA sequence. We use this powerful targeting capability in zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) to edit the human genome, specifically knocking out a gene or adding a new DNA sequence in a precise location. Using our ZFP transcription factors (ZFP TFs) we can also control the expression of any gene to produce more of a therapeutically relevant protein or down regulate the gene to produce less.
We currently use both adeno associated virus (AAV) and mRNA to deliver our therapeutics and continue to develop and refine these platforms as well as our manufacturing processes for therapeutic cell production. Using our molecular biology and AAV expertise we are also developing gene therapy approaches for key indications.
DNA is DNA – it doesn't matter what type of cell or species one wants to edit or regulate. ZFPs have applications beyond human therapeutics. This technology can be used in agriculture as well as research applications such as the production of cell lines for manufacturing or drug testing and the development of transgenic animals including disease models.
With our collaborators, we have published foundational research in the fields of genome editing, gene therapy, cell therapy and gene regulation.

Sexuality is a powerful and priceless form of human interaction. We all know it is powerful , and its pricelessness is too often lost in our society. When you love someone it is normal to desire to express that love sexually, and the desire to do so is typically very strong!
It has to be powerful to have the potential to be such a beautiful bond and communicator. And, like everything else that is powerful it is also potentially dangerous, too. As with most things powerful, guidance is needed for its proper use if we are going to avoid destroying as much or more than we create. Naturally, thus, the Bible speaks (very openly and not at all squeamishly) about sex.
In the Bible, sex is powerful. It is therefore sometimes wonderful and sometimes ugly. Like a fire, in its place, sex is inspiring; outside its place, it is devastating. Sex is a strongly encouraged blessing between a husband and wife, and the marriage bed is pure. At times when I read about it there, I get the sense that sex between a husband and wife is worshipful of sex's creator – God (see Ezek 34).
I was recently asked to defend biblically the idea that sex before marriage is sin. If you are reading this but you already believe that sex before marriage is sin, then realize this is written as a defense. If you are carrying guilt for former or current sexual behavior, then feel free to skip to the end. In regards to the question, though, here are my thoughts on the matter, and what I think the Bible teaches:
Is sex before marriage a sin? I am not sure that we can make an air-tight case for saying "The Bible says that sex before marriage is sin." Because that exact phrase does not appear. However, this is largely because the terms in the New Testament are broader – more general – than merely "sex" – sexual penetration. The New Testament also does not say "serial homicide is sin" – but murder is, even murderous rage (Matt 5:21-22). If murder is sin, human driven genocide is probably assumed. If any sexual impurity is sinful (see verses below), then sexual intercourse outside of the relationship for which it was created and commanded in Genesis, would also be assumed. Let's look at the Greek for a second.
One of the clearest teachings about impurity is found in Paul's letter to the Thessalonians. For example,
"…For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality…" (1 Thess 4:3, NASU)
The word here in this passage is from the root word <pornos> – obviously the root word for our "porno-graphy" (Lit. "sexually immoral graphic representation"). It is a word used to reference all kinds of sexual bad-behavior. In many translations, it is translated into "fornication."
The International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia notes that "in the New Testament, with both the literal and the figurative application, we find porneia, and porneuo (Matt 5:32; 15:19; John 8:41; Acts 15:20; 1 Cor 5:1; 6:13,18; 7:2; 10:8; 2 Cor 12:21; Gal 5:19; Eph 5:3; Col 3:5; 1 Thess 4:3; Rev 2:14,20-21; 9:21; 14:8; 17:2,4). The intensive ekporneuo = "to be utterly unchaste" is found in Jude verse 7. Every form of unchastity is included in the term fornication."
So, how could we be sure that in biblical terms, this would refer to sexual behavior between an unmarried man and woman? Would this apply to two young people, who, dating only one another and seriously in love, want to have sex? Maybe the writers and early Christians just didn't consider this kind of sex as "immoral?" Sorry, but it just doesn't hold water. Paul uses these ideas in the main passages that talk about this which is found in 1 Cor chapters 6-7.
In these passages, Paul clearly says that the reason that people should marry is because they can't keep avoiding having sex! Paul is clearly talking about how he thinks it is better for someone not to marry at all… however, if you "burn with passion," then you better go ahead and get married… and when you do, make sure you don't deprive one another. Only the thickest person would miss that the implication is that if you are not married, you should not be having sex. Otherwise, why make marriage for those who cannot keep from having sex? (1 Cor 7:1-8) Also, consider the added truth that husband's and wife's bodies belong to one another. Would this change just because you are unaware of who the husband and wife will be someday? I don't know, but I think it is worth considering. Further, I think the command to Timothy to treat unmarried girls as "sisters" probably does not include a sexual relationship with them (1 Tim 5:1).
Jesus clearly teaches that lust (the desire to possess something that does not belong to you, to meet your own desires) is sin. Even just lust is sin equal to adultery! (Matt 5:27-28)
So, if desiring to have sex with someone is equated to adultery, then what about actually having sex with them! Further, in order to defend that sex outside of marriage would be ok, you would have to make an argument that you could have intercourse without lusting…hmmm. So, just impurity with a woman not your wife is sin. Just seeking sex with her is sin, and the book of wisdom (Proverbs) clearly teaches that following after a woman for sex is the path to death (chapters 5 & 9).
Obedience is all the reason we need. If God draws boundaries, we should respect them whether we understand, agree, or want to. If He loves us, then what He seeks for us is, in the end, the best.
The strongest key, however, is to make note of the fact that Jesus calls us to love one another and seek the best for one another – having sex with an unmarried person is not what is best for them – the issues that it creates are monumental. OK, so some part of this may be reaching for an answer to "if God loves me, then why would he forbid sex before marriage?" And asking questions about "why" can be dangerous.
Please follow that we are seeking to understand better, we are NOT trying to hold God accountable for His motivations. We don't have to understand, but maybe we can see evidence of why God would want to draw boundaries around sex. If we are convinced that God loves us, then we can assume that His boundaries are meant for our best – are evidence of His love… and thus if we choose otherwise, then we must somehow not be loving people involved. Does the evidence match? What does it mean that sex before marriage is not God's best?
Here are some of the more obvious issues:
The first is the most obvious: the risk of damaging consequences… like single parenthood, temptation for abortion, STD's – the percentage of which is a little overwhelming these days (I recently read 25% of teens, for example), and all the consequences of these too.
There is a great opportunity for regret… is it universal? I personally think that eventually, probably, even if it isn't immediate.
It virtually guarantees a sense of comparison… what kind of insecurity does it create to be compared to other lovers? Plus, under the next heading, how do you feel about being compared to former (and what about FIRST) lovers? Do we ever forget our first? This is no curse, just a real consequence.
It is probably hypocritical. A great way to measure our honest convictions is to dealwith how we feel about things closer to home. It is easier to objectify someone we don't know. Would we want to encourage our sisters, daughters and future wives to engage in the same behavior? Would we want them to? What about the same for future husbands, brothers, or sons?
If we would not want someone to
1. teach our loved ones that sex is the main form of value that they have, or
2. encourage that belief, or even
3. behave in such a way as to combat that belief…
then we have no business doing so with someone else's sister, son, or future spouse either. To engage with someone else's daughter what we would not desire for our own daughter is raw hypocrisy. To engage in some behavior that we would not be happy about our future spouse doing is the same. If I love someone I want the best for them, and am willing to pay appropriately to see them have it. I am convinced that sex before marriage is not best, even if it weren't sin!
For those who would say that they wouldn't care if their sister, etc. were doing the same thing, then I would appeal to the creator argument. If Col. Colt told you about the proper use for a revolver or if Henry Ford had some ideas about your Model T, then it would be wise to listen to them, as the designers. If God has words on something He designed, like sex, then we should assume He knows more about it, its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, than we do. For us to think we know more is serious arrogance and maybe delusional.
Much less, having sex with someone other than your spouse (even before you know them) is certainly NOT loving your future spouse! God's grace does not call us merely to "shalt not," but to "shall." It calls us to purity and holiness and maybe especially, LOVE. Not having sex until marriage is the most loving choice for you, the person you are with, your future spouse, and their future spouse – and maybe others (your parents, your future children, etc?)
It creates and/or encourages a question of what the person is valued for. This is actually one of the best hidden, but most dangerous consequences of premarital sex. More often than is probably known, women especially engage in sex in order to either keep a guy around, to feel approved of, or just to feel loved in some way. There is a great and poignant movie clip about this in the movie The Fisher King (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qo1Oi8lwtA) So many people don't feel desired at all, and the closest they feel to desired is used. We want to feel welcomed in as part of the family like an adopted child or a puppy; however if we don't think we can have that, we will settle for being the chicken to be devoured at dinner, if that is as close as we can get. Do we ever want to risk communicating that to another human? How can a follower of Jesus (or Jehovah, or even The Buddha, for that matter) take the chance of promoting that belief in anyone?
You ask: but what if the other person knows what they are doing? First, is it possible they do, if they are doing it despite the consequences? I see this as akin to someone selling an early DC comic online for $1… would they really sell it for so cheap if they knew its value? Second, even if they do buy into this value of short- term performance only, are we going to be party to that belief, or will we stand against it? I will stand against it. Compare this to God's design. Once someone has committed to spend the rest of their life devoted to you, under God, then you never have to fear whether your performance (or lack thereof) is going to be what makes you valuable, or worthless, to the spouse.
I once had a kind lady tell me in counseling that a rule life had taught her was: "if I am willing to have sex with a man, then I never have to sleep alone." What an amazing reversal of God's best: "When you know you will never have to sleep alone again, then you should have sex with that man."
Human value is something I am very passionate about – mainly because I think God is passionate about His artwork… His <poema> (Eph 2:10)… His craftsmanship. We are precious and valuable mainly because we are His and the works of His Hands. We are treasures to almighty God – the perfect judge of value and art. Maybe I will write more about this later, but I am truly cautious to try to not come across as offended as I am, in the Spirit, by anything that devalues another human.
We are truly precious in His sight, and He has made us by His Hands, and purchased us with His Blood. We are His sheep, though lost; He comes and finds us and His angels party over the sinner found. He emptied Himself, took on what it means to be a man and a servant to the point of death on a cross – through the power of the Spirit, out of obedience for His Father and out of Their love for us. What could possibly prove more that we are treasure? The way we deal with sex in our culture is primarily about de-valuing people, it seems to me… when it was created to communicate a life-long value already determined in a covenant that was created to be a living parable of how God loves us!
With this in mind, I have to assume that sex before marriage is disobedience, which makes it sin… it is offensive to God's best design, which must be sin… and it is a sin against one's own body (you literally create a debt to yourself). Sexual immorality is sin. And, as with most sin, it seems that God calls sin what is not only offensive to Him, but also what is less than His best for us. So often, it seems that He is trying to guide us in protecting ourselves even from ourselves. As Pogo the Possum once said "We have met the enemy, and he is us" and we all know what he meant! God desires to save us from all sin and death, once for all… starting now (and going on forever).
Meaning, you can be free to choose to live in God's best for you – one aspect of which is to avoid sexual immorality (1 Thess 4:3) and instead commit to your future gift/sex life with your future spouse. Also, accept the free gift of God's graceful forgiveness. I think we know that we don't manufacture purity – even if we have somehow managed to avoid pre-marital sex. We, in our own flesh, are still dressed in filthy rags, spiritually. Surely no one thinks that we can somehow take our impurity and by impurely working harder somehow purify ourselves?
You can't purify something by washing it with (metaphorically) dirty water and filthy rags. We need someone pure. Of all men, only Christ is pure. By the same token, there is nothing so impure that it can resist the purifying power of the blood of Christ. His love cannot be broken, His power to cleanse is peerless and perfect. You can be made pure, no matter.
Only in Christ could we be pure…
Only in Christ are we pure…
and in Christ we ARE pure… how could we not be?
Here is what makes sense to me: no matter whether we live or have lived in the truth of our purity or not, those in Christ are pure. No matter what mistakes we have made in the past, Christ makes His bride pure. Follow Christ; accept His free gift of salvation (just ask); abide in Him, and you must be pure in Him… and then (and only then) can we have the freedom to live a life worthy of that calling.
In other words, in Christ, and only in Christ, we are pure, because we are in Him and He is pure; our behavior cannot change our identity – cannot make us more or less pure. We can only behave more or less purely. We are not slaves… though we can act like slaves. We cannot become any more pure than we are in Christ. So, embrace the purity in Christ and live accordingly. It is for freedom that you have been set free. It works God's way.

Wait a minute.
Is that a shirtless Superman chained to a table being whipped by a Lois Lane in lingerie?
Yes and no.
It's the cover of "Secret Identity: The Fetish Art of Superman's Creator, Joe Shuster" ($24.95, Abrams ComicArts) and one of the book's more mild art works.
Shuster, the former Glenville boy who created Superman with Jerry Siegel in the 1930s, drew for a limited-edition publication called "The Nights of Horror" in the mid-1950s under a pseudonym. The undersized magazine contains stories of sex, sadism, torture and any other kind of kink imaginable.
Shuster drew illustrations to accompany the sordid words.
It came at a time when Shuster's eyesight was failing and he was struggling. The co-creator of the most recognized fictional character in the world was barely surviving working as a delivery man in New York. He had lost his battles with DC Comics over the rights to Superman. He needed the money, and a job was a job.
"The Nights of Horror" was an amateur publication run out of a guy's basement in Queens. It was sold in New York newsstands, or under them, for $3 and lasted 16 issues. The magazines, smaller than a modern comic book, are among the rarest of "comics."
In fact, few even knew they existed.
But looking beyond the lurid aspects of the drawings, we can see Shuster's talent. It's actually some of the best work he has ever done. The figures are beautifully drawn with expressions that clearly convey fear or lust.
Author Craig Yoe includes an authoritative history of Shuster and Siegel, with interesting and little-known facts.
It must have given Shuster a bit of a thrill to use his skills to make the characters in the sado-masochistic drawings resemble Superman, Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen and Lex Luthor. Perhaps it was a way to strike back at the comics company he felt had wronged him.
The art finally surfaced after more than 50 years when the book was released this week. These may be the last "professional" drawings Shuster published, a sad commentary on the career of a man who co-created an icon.
Everyone is having trouble keeping it together these days.
The Justice League at DC is breaking up after Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman dropped out, a little trick the trio pulled just a few years ago.
Over at Marvel, The Avengers are having trouble keeping the team solvent. Three teams are featured in their own books, one of them composed of villains.
But as sure as Batman will someday return from the cave (literally) he's been hiding in, the Justice League and the Avengers will survive.
Meanwhile, readers get to enjoy some fascinating reading.
In "The Mighty Avengers," writer Dan Slott finally gives Hank Pym his due and lets the bedraggled hero finally lead the group. Pym -- who has had careers as Ant-Man, Giant Man, Goliath, Dr. Pym, Yellowjacket and now calls himself The Wasp in honor of his dead wife -- distinguishes himself and shows up Iron Man for the blowhard he is.
The final page of issue 23, which reveals a major player in the Avengers drama, is a shocker.
Meanwhile, Brian Bendis is doing some great work with "The New Avengers," the underground team still hunted by police. That group is facing its own set of problems, including learning to trust one another.
There's a wonderful turning point where Spider-Man is asked to reveal his identity. Perhaps maintaining some sense of how bad that went the last time he tried it, Spidey is reluctant.
And all the while, the dark mirror image team of The Avengers is playing hero under the leadership of Norman Osborn, better known as the Green Goblin.
At DC, new Justice League leader Black Canary is having problems of her own persuading members to stay put. As if losing Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman wasn't bad enough, Green Lantern and Green Arrow quit the league to form one likely to include other JLA members.
The Flash quit to work with The Titans, and Black Lightning reformed The Outsiders.
The Canary's JLA is down to four or five low-powered members and she's not happy. Get ready for a membership drive.
Speaking of getting ready, the annual national Free Comic Book Day is Saturday, May 2. Comic shops will give away free comics to introduce people to the hobby. Stay tuned; details are coming.

Ohio 911 users are told they will do CPR
By Suzanne Hoholik
COLUMBUS, Ohio — A woman called 911 recently and told dispatchers that her grandmother wasn't breathing.
The Columbus firefighter who took the call double-checked the address and phone number and then told the woman that they were going to start CPR together.
She hesitated but answered yes when Russell McGinnis asked whether she knew how to do cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Even if she hadn't known the basics, McGinnis would have talked her through the procedure.
These days, instead of asking callers whether they want to do CPR, Columbus firefighters are telling callers they're going to do it.
The American Heart Association changed its CPR guidelines last year to compressions only — no more mouth-to-mouth — in an effort to get more bystanders to help people whose hearts have stopped. That prompted the Columbus Division of Fire to have its 911 staff be a little pushy with callers and not take no for an answer.
"We work with dispatchers to be as aggressive as they can and encouraging to callers to do CPR until the paramedics arrive," said Dr. David Keseg, medical director of the Columbus Division of Fire.
The national survival rate of cardiac arrest is 6.4 percent. In Columbus, the survival rate is about 11 percent, Keseg said.
Several studies, including two published in 2010, in The New England Journal of Medicine and The Journal of the American Medical Association, found that people in cardiac arrest have a better chance of survival when chest compressions are started quickly.
Emergency dispatchers can play a pivotal role. Columbus dispatchers aim to get CPR started within 20 seconds of the call.
That was the case with the woman and her grandmother. McGinnis told the woman where to place her hands on her grandmother's chest and how deep to push.
"Come on, you got to do this," he told her. "Chest compressions, 1-2-3-4. Count. 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10. Don't stop, don't stop, keep going. Come on."
The woman cried, counted with McGinnis, and then cried some more. Through heavy breaths, she told him it wasn't working.
"This is probably going to be the hardest thing you have to do your whole life," he said. "Don't stop until the paramedics walk through the door."
Five minutes and 37 seconds after she called, paramedics arrived. Her grandmother survived that day but died a week later in a hospital.
Keseg said the stepped-up approach is making a difference, although he doesn't have the data yet to show how many more lives have been saved.
Che Sitton called 911 in January after his mother, Nancy, collapsed in her room at their North Side home. He told the dispatcher that he knew CPR, but that was the last thing on his mind as he stared at his mom.
Sitton, 40, said of the dispatcher: "He could tell the stress of my voice, and he said, 'You can do this,' and I started the chest compressions."
The dispatcher kept him motivated by counting compressions and reminding him to push deeply and fast even as his arms tired and his hope faded.
If Sitton hadn't had that encouragement, "I would have given up," he said.
His mom spent about a month in a hospital, had a pacemaker implanted and has recovered.
Other local dispatching agencies vary on how aggressive they are about getting callers to start CPR.
The Franklin County sheriff's office asks callers whether they want to do CPR and leaves it up to them.
An official at the Metropolitan Emergency Consortium Communications Center, a consortium of townships on the east side of the county, said dispatchers there push callers to do compressions.
Dr. Michael Sayre, an associate professor of emergency medicine at Ohio State University who helped Columbus fire officials develop their protocol, said one-third of cardiac-arrest victims in Columbus get CPR before paramedics arrive.
A key is for dispatchers to help callers through difficult situations.
"You don't have the luxury of a lot of time," Sayre said. "There are a few effective methods, including taking control and getting the rescuer to get done what needs to be done."
Columbus fire officials strive for a response time of zero.
"You don't want to ask them if they want to do it," said Rick Johnson, a Columbus firefighter who takes emergency calls. "You're letting them know this is the best way we know for your loved one to survive.
"You need to be forceful, direct and respectful."

Don't let your emotional staff get under the skin of your conservative thinkers, your analysts offend your nurturers, or your larger-than-life personalities tick off your head-down-get-'er-done types. Each personality type has its own benefits, and you can finally show your team how to thrive when not everyone functions the same way.
This course will allow you to finally understand why Bob would rather put his to-do list on a post-it rather than on his computer. Each choice your staff makes is based on their personality choice. In a workplace with four different types of personalities, no wonder you see so much clashing and disagreeing. But with a simple understanding of what personality type each person brings, your team will finally be able to understand and work with their polar opposites.
Warning: This course will have your team walking around the office guessing personalities and finally understanding why Mr. Green doesn't want to talk while he's working.
Personality Dimensions will:
- Build more cohesive teams
- Bridge gaps created by misunderstandings in the office
- Help you recognize the strengths of your employees and maximize their potential
- Create a more effective work environment
- Positively influence relationships and productivity

Reader Contest: Challenge the Conventional Wisdom!
Chatterbox is pleased to announce a new Slate contest: "The Conventional-Wisdom-Is-Wrong Challenge." It is the brainchild of sometime Slate contributor Alex Heard. Readers are invited to challenge some seemingly irrefutable, widely held belief (example: "the Nasdaq plunge was bad for Internet stocks") using plausible arguments and actual facts. Winners will be chosen on the basis of entries' persuasive qualities (though the conferring of an award should not be construed as an endorsement, either by Chatterbox or by Slate).
This week's "Conventional-Wisdom-Is-Wrong Challenge" concerns the fire raging through Los Alamos, N.M., home of the famous nuclear laboratory and more plutonium than Chatterbox cares to think about.
The conventional wisdom is: "National Park Service officials at nearby Bandelier National Monument were incredibly dumb to deliberately set a 'controlled' scrub-clearing fire at a time when the area was dry and windy, especially considering the area's proximity to a very old nuclear-materials storage site. And the Forest Service was even dumber to delay, simply because a senior-level fire-dispatch official was not on the premises, acting on the Park Service's frantic 3:30 a.m. request for fire crews once it looked like the fire was raging out of control."
This logic strikes Chatterbox as damned-near bulletproof. Readers are invited to challenge it. Especially high points will be granted to entries that argue, coherently, that the Forest Service was right to delay sending the fire crews. Entries must be sent to email@example.com, and may not exceed 400 words. As with previous Chatterbox contests, the winner wins nothing except the (considerable) thrill of seeing his or her pensées posted in this space.

We know winter brings shorter daylight hours and longer nights, but does it seem to anyone else out there like the days speed by in a blur this time of year? An hour goes by in a minute, and it feels like the first morning cup of coffee is barely swallowed down and suddenly it is time to make dinner. Is anybody else looking into the setting sun and checking another box off the calendar while asking themselves, "What happened to this day?"
With this going on, it seems impossible to take some time for oneself for a treat like an hour massage or other healing therapy such as Reflexology, Shiatsu or Hypnotherapy. However, if you consider the idea of stopping the spinning time machine and blocking one hour out of the day for yourself, you will in effect be stopping the clock from consuming your day with work, errands, chores, more work, and finally, exhaustion. A little bit of holistic healing therapy goes a long way when it comes to fighting the potential physical and emotional effects of these chilly temperatures and shortened sunlight hours. That's my spin on it, anyway, and I'm sticking to it.
An exceptional place to take that break is at the Specialty Clinics at Southwest Institute of Healing Arts. Here you can enjoy extreme discount prices from students who are completing their coursework in holistic healthcare practices. The session prices range from complimentary to $15 per session. In addition, there is now a 'Specialty Clinic Frequent User Card' which is essentially a punch card-style discount plan, most of which give you a free session after a certain number of purchases. The sessions are supervised by an instructor and generally take place in a classroom at SWIHA's serene college community.
Some examples of SWIHA's Specialty Clinics:
Asian Therapy Clinic
Students practice interview, assessment and application skills using their individual Asian art modalities; including Shiatsu, Jin Shin Jyutsu® Physio-Philosophy Seminar, or Tui Na Bodywork for the purpose of client feedback and results. The treatments are done fully clothed under the supervision of an instructor.
Hypnotherapy Clinic
The Hypnotherapy Clinic is a capstone to preparing students for the practice of Hypnotherapy. Students hypnotize clients to assist them with relaxation, stress and anxiety reduction, easing fears and phobias, and for addiction abatement including smoking cessation and weight management. Some students are trained to do basic past life regression sessions. The sessions are done under the supervision of an instructor.
Reflexology Clinic
Reflexology is a hands-on modality based on the principle that reflex areas exist in the feet, hands and ears. When these areas are stimulated, they improve relaxation and healing of the glands, organs, nervous and digestive systems and other body areas. The treatments are done fully clothed under the supervision of an instructor.
Reiki Clinic
Reiki is an energy therapy system of holistic healing where spiritually directed life force energy is directed to various parts of a client's body for the purpose of deep relaxation, relief of physical and emotional concerns and spiritual clarity. Reiki balances energy on a spiritual, mental, emotional & physical plane. It helps resolve problems, achieve goals & connect higher consciousness & spiritual purpose. The treatments are done fully clothed under the supervision of an instructor.
A full holistic care system combining hands-on contact, toning, breathing and gentle techniques which encourage the body in emotional and mental releases through facilitated dialogue.

The future of the New York Yankees is up in the air.
Unlike the past decade, or since the infamous Core Four, the Yankee brass wants to depend on the farm system to produce the team's future stars. The last homegrown star to come up was Brett Gardner back in 2008.
Here are four of the Yankees top prospects that I think have serious potential. I only picked one will make the 2013 Opening Day roster, but the others should not be far behind.

This game has been on and off my mind for years now. It was one of 3 games that introduced me to the FPS genre (along with Doom and Catacombs 3-D). For some time I always thought I was just thinking of Wolfenstein and remembering wrong... Jeez. This was a favourite to go back to.

Want to play Blake Stone on my Windows 7 pro PC but it won't load up so here I am on your website.

You can adjust frame rate in DOSBox by hitting Ctrl-F11 (slower) or Ctrl-F12 (faster) to get it to run to your tastes. BS:AOG seemed to run pretty smooth at 8500 cycles but that may vary depending on CPU.

I really like that game, because the alien and mutant creatures, their so cool and interesting for every gamer who like sci-fi games...
Leitbild 2013-02-13 0 point DOS version
As with Wolfenstein 3D, I played this one too late to get keen on it... I was already cursed by Doom and Heretic! ;)
It looked a little bit better and the interaction with the NPCs was a great deal, but nonetheless I only played the shareware version back then and never tried to get the registered version back then. It was a slightly irrelevant game to me, too late and backward to me...
Much later I enjoyed it much more, but also got very often frustraded by some enemies or levels, that I played it step for step over 2-3 years or so, that means only when I really got bored sometimes... ;)

Nice! Can't wait to play rest episodes (2-6). I remember playing with my friend few years ago the first episode because I had demo version. Good times.

Blake Stone runs great on dosbox, but every time I finish the first level in the first mission, when I go in the elevator with the red keycard and choose to go to floor 2, it kicks me out every time. Anyone one know why it does this?

Not much to post today. I've not been sewing on the regular.
I think I'm fighting a cold and some general blues.
MRI tomorrow.
Just discovered a bird? has punched holes in the stucco on my house, which I'm going to have to deal with tomorrow as well.
I've been working a bit on my Travelin' Pics, but not enough to show anything here yet.
I tried to catch up on my do.good quilt, but I couldn't pin baste, so the top hasn't been assembled yet. (This weekend even moving to layout the top wasn't going to happen.)
Instead, I tried to catch up on my QAL blocks. I was, I think, 14 blocks behind. I'm still a week behind, but almost there...
The last block isn't the right size, so it's getting a green frame. (Stupid printer apparently likes to resize things.)
Anywho...that's pretty much it. I'm hand sewing this week, just nothing I can show yet.
oh, and here's the bag I made for Mouthy Stitches:

You are making this for me right??? Kidding, ;)ReplyDelete
So many blocks!!!ReplyDelete
Hope all goes well with the MRI xxx
These are awesome! Your quilt is going to be fabulous!ReplyDelete
Kill the bird - that will fix the problem. Reading that out loud sounds kind of bad, but at the damn time hilarious. Good luck with the MRI - is it an open or closed? Thanks for sharing the WIPs.ReplyDelete
Well done on the almost catchup, hope the MRI goes okay (just remember, don't move ;o) )ReplyDelete

French Spotify rival Deezer has opened its API to developers in order to build an extensive app service from within its music streaming platform. Much like its biggest rival before it, this will give customers downloadable apps with which to enhance their experiences.
Soon to come will be a new Deezer App Studio, where you will be able to download the apps which suit you, and updates to the service's iOS and Android apps to allow the "seamless discovery of music through friends".
Apps that will be available from launch include Twusic, a social radio platform powered by Twitter sharing; eDJing, which allows you to mix two streamed Deezer tracks; Lalilala, a social singing game that's described as "Draw Something for music"; and Spotizr, that allows you to import your Spotify playlists into Deezer.
Developers are encouraged to submit apps through a dedicated Deezer webpage, where they'll be assessed and, hopefully, approved by the team.
As well as Open Deezer and updates to its mobile apps, the firm has been working on better Facebook integration of late.

How do I know CRNA is for me? (INTP/INTJ)
Only 6 months out of school (BSN) and I am not liking nursing at all! I'm not sure if it's b/c I'm still new (ie, uncomfortable, insecure) or if it's the job itself I don't like - so I am not ready to write it off just yet (at least, not on most days). My purpose in going to nursing school and becoming an RN was to ultimately become a CRNA; however, before investing more time and money in pre-reqs, I think I should get an idea of what it is *really* like.
Prior to nursing school, as part of my severance pkg when I got laid off from my previous "career," I took the Myers-Briggs Type thing. If anyone here is into that, I would love some feedback. According to their inventory, I am an INTJ/INTP equally. Several of the same health-related professions come up for both types - absent is "nurse." But does that mean I will dislike working as a CRNA (as much as I dislike nursing)?
Anyway, I would greatly appreciate any feedback/guidance/advice anyone working as or working towards becoming a CRNA may have for me. Even better - if anyone is in the KC area and knows of a "shadowing" program, I would very much be interested in looking into that.
Thanks for reading!

xtreme waitressingOct 27, '05Try shadowing a CRNA for a few days to see if you think you may like it.
Here is a link to a thread about personality type/CRNA's: https://allnurses.com/forums/f16/mye...nas-52803.html
Hope this helps:wink2:Oct 27, '05I'm taking a class right now that required us to do the MBTI thing, and I thought it was bogus. I did it twice, and got a different answer both times. Also, we did another scale which was the equivalent, and I got a different score on that too.
Nursing is not an easy profession. many nurses start out in the wrong job, and are not happy until they move on to another. but then there are those who are very goal directed, and know what they want to do without letting anyone stand in their way. In this regard, if you want to be a CRNA, don't let anything stand in your way. If you are unhappy with your current job situation, then change it. Hopefully you are working in some type of critical care unit. If you are in med-surg or whatever, I would expect you to complain A LOT because there is a lot of BS that goes with this job. It may take awhile until you are comfortable in critical care anyway, so don' fret too much.
You can easily shadow a CRNA just about anywhere. try your current hospital, or check with crna or managers at local hospitals. I agree you should get an idea of whether you want to become a CRNA, and shadowing and talking to people about it is a start.Oct 27, '05Research the field, follow a CRNA for a few days to see the role. Try following a few diff. ones or a few diff cases so you can see a variety. Visit a school and talk to students and professors. Just make an educated and surely sound decision based on your likes, strengths, weaknesses and desire.
If you don't like the clinical arena then Anesthesia may not be the thing for you. Your are just out of school, give it time but be proactive in advancing your career. Word of advice, don't go to school unless you know 100% that you want it and want it bad because school is rigorous, expensive, time consuming and if you end up not liking it then you may be in a bind. Good luck.Oct 31, '05I live in K.C., KS and am in nursing school. I just called Truman Medical Center Hospital Hill I said I wanted to shadow some CRNA's. With no background check or confidentiality paperwork they had me in OR scrubs and observing a gastric bypass in 10 minutes. I got to hang out all day & pester the CRNA's with questions. God bless busy county trauma hospitals.Oct 31, '05Yes, admittedly I am still uncomfortable with the clinical arena...makes me wonder if pharmacy isn't more my speed. Maybe after I have a year on the unit I will be better educated re: what path I should take!Oct 31, '05Quote from kc_jellybeanI'm going to warn you, it may take at least a year, or more, to feel comfortable in critical care. It's a stressful area and your length or orientation is only the beginning of learning about everything. As you become better at time management and juggling/prioritizing your pt needs, things will get better. Don't rust yourself and run off and change profession quite yet!Yes, admittedly I am still uncomfortable with the clinical arena...makes me wonder if pharmacy isn't more my speed. Maybe after I have a year on the unit I will be better educated re: what path I should take!Nov 6, '05Best of luck to you in whatever you do. I am very lucky in that I am doing a long term rotation with an MDA....long story but I beat the bushes and found someone that would take me as a student. My willingness to come to the OR 2 days a week and stay until all cases are complete shows my desire to be a CRNA...I'm working in the ER at present. Nursing is very frustrating. For me, CRNA is all I think about, study for and work towards. MY MDA as I have started calling him gave me the best advise...if you don't like the job it doesn't matter what you are getting paid...he went on to say that he would do anesthesia even if the pay sucked! Good luck to you. If you could do CRNA work without pay then I'd say you've found your calling...if not then move on.

1,000,000 Users ~ HootSuite Announces Sign-up Milestone
HootSuite is celebrating a momentus occassion — we're pleased to annouce that we have officially passed the one million user mark.
We want to thank all one million of you who signed up for our beloved dashboard. It's true, we enjoy getting your comments, gathering your feedback, seeing your tweets and even receiving the postcards and treats you've sent us by postal mail.
The World is Social
So much has happened in such a short while. To illustrate the trends and patterns of social web users, we've put together this info graphic to show how one million HootSuite fans are using the dashboard across networks, platforms and countries.
Feel free to share this with your friends and colleagues on your blog, in presentations, etc.
We're Owl Grown Up
Since December 2008, we've grown from a modest dashboard born out of a digital agency, to a vast community of industry professionals, agencies and enthusiasts from around the world. In addition to our one millionth user, we've also reached the following milestones:
- Created an HTML 5 version of HootSuite to utilize the latest browser technology
- Launched freemium plans designed for different types of users — from free to enterprise
- Released free mobile apps for iPhone, Android, iPad and BlackBerry
- Partnered with Twitter to be the first to syndicate Promoted Tweets
- Certified hundreds of social media professionals who've graduated from HootSuite University
- Localized HootSuite web and mobile apps for international languages starting with Japanese
- Started a crowd-sourced translation project to create even more localizations
We Have a Winner
To celebrate this achievement, we launched a spontaneous Twitter contest to try to guess the to exact day and time that HootSuite passed the mark. We examined the data and happily announced @kelkel926 from Charlottesville, VA via NOLA as the winner of a brand new iPad.
Her twitter bio says she's a "Music-lovin' sorta hippie, moved 1/2 way across country to discover how lost I'd truly become. NOLA girl, finding self again & in hot pursuit of my soul/passions"
Incidentally, the one millionth person to sign up is from A Coruña, Galicia, Spain, and came on board at 11:24:15:42:21. Gracias.

Real-time marketing is currently one of the most prominent trends in digital, however many businesses are still only just starting to experiment with this tactic.
Our understanding of what constitutes real-time marketing is also unclear, as many people simply associate it with quick response times on Twitter.
Marketing is never a completely spontaneous activity. By its very nature, communication with target audiences requires a level of knowledge (stemming from data and insight) about what the audience wants and how the product or service offered meets their needs.
This processing of knowledge to decide on how to engage with audiences cannot happen without planning.
A key question therefore is how fast is 'real time'?
In Econsultancy's new Real-Time Marketing Survey Report, published in association with Monetate, more than four-fifths of all respondents (80% company, 82% agency) said that responses should occur in two minutes or less.
At the sharp end, 12% of company respondents said that real time was the ability to respond to consumer behaviours in less than a second.
The ability to respond this quickly obviously requires marketing automation software, as human intervention wouldn't be feasible in such a short timeframe.
How do you define real-time marketing?
The report is based on a survey of nearly 900 marketers and provides a snapshot of real-time marketing in 2014. The findings give a baseline for marketers to use when assessing their plans for this year and beyond.
Are you marketing in real-time?
Given the opportunities available and widespread business familiarity with various digital channels for communication, it is no surprise to see that more than two-thirds of companies (71%) surveyed for this research are engaging in real-time marketing of some description.
However this also means that around a third (29%) of companies aren't using real-time marketing, while there is also a question mark as to whether personal, non-automated responses by brands on social media are instantaneous enough to merit the description of 'real-time'.
This data reflects that real-time marketing is still very much an embryonic area with opportunities to be seized for competitive advantage.
Do you or your clients currently employ any of the following?
Comments (1)
Real-time marketing speed depends on what you're doing. Here are some examples IMHO - any readers have better ideas?
<1 second: adverts, web page product suggestions, real-time content within emails, count-down timers within emails
1 second: conversational notification, e.g someone commented in facebook, on a blog, or in a support forum
10 seconds: cancel inappropriate marketing (e.g. abandonment emails when someone buys after all)
1 minute: purchase complete emails
1/2 hour: cart and browse abandonment emails (not be too fast)
day or days: follow-up emails in a series
year: birthday or seasonal emails

Seth Galifianakis, The Twin Brother Act Of Zach GalifianakisJune 20th, 2009 - 3:55 pm ICT by GD
Zach Galifianakis is undoubtedly among one of the most talented comedians of all times and he has proved his mettle over and over again. The abundantly talented actor has been doing shows for a long time now and his stand up comedy acts have always been a show stealer. Now, with the release of the new movie "Hangover", this summer, the actor finally will be getting his dues and recognitions.
Among his many other feats is the one gimmick where he poses as his 'camera shy twin brother" Seth Galifianakis. Making an appearance on the Jimmy Kimmel show on Saturday, June 20, Zach will be seen playing the part of the dim and monotonous youth minister cum high school football coach. The segment promises to be everything that the funny guy can offer on his palette and more.
Galifiananis has interviewed many stars like Natalie Portman, "Hangover" co- star Bradley Cooper, Michael Cera and a host of other names. His trademark, out of the box style, draws the laughter of the onlookers spontaneously. It comes easy to him and therefore the act seems a part of him more than being a formatted script.
With "Hangover" out this June, it can be hoped that many more windows will open for this talented actor, so that people can get to see him more in pleasing roles. The best part about the summer release, it is said is Zach Galifianakis. He steals the screen completely with his funny acts; while doing lewd stuffs to the baby as well as getting knocked out cold by Mike Tyson.

Why skip?
- Skipping is an excellent form of exercise and something that everyone can do (no matter what the age is) in their spare time.
- Skipping is also the ideal sport for everyone, as I have said above, you don't have to worry about the age at all.
- As well as being fun skipping rope is a fun at the same time it is the perfect way to lose those extra fat from your body.
- Skipping is just like an aerobic exercise that is perfect for for improving cardiovascular fitness and is medium impact. But aged people should do it in a little calmer way.
- It is a great way to warm up and also a very good form of exercise as well.
- Skipping is one of those perfect and affordable fitness exercise that can be exercised bu anyone regardless of all ages and genders. It is a perfect fitness exercise! I would like to give you an example, it can help with endurance training so that you can develop your speed in the shortest time span. At the same time one can enhance his or her coordination and to develop a sense of rhythm.
- Skipping is excellent because you don't have to spend those extra dollars that otherwise you would have done in gyms and other institutions. That means that it is a cheap, medium impact exercise and extremely effective if you want to enhance your cardiovascular fitness.
- Skipping will help improve cardio-respiratory (heart and lungs) fitness, it provides ample amount of flexibility and co-ordination. By doing skipping at a regular level. A persona minimizes the risk of heart disease, lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
- You can look your best as it helps you to tone down as well.
- But now the question arises as to from where you can get an apt rope for yourself. You can get it at a boxing/martial arts shop. But normally every good sports shop has a skipping rope. Just take my suggestion and buy a good quality leather skipping rope.
- Don't just go for any other skipping rope. It should match with your height as well.

The Brandon-based Jesse Dietschi Double Quartet consists of some of the brightest young musicians Manitoba has to offer. This innovative group combines elements of acoustic and electric instruments, orchestration and improvisation, and both Western European art music and jazz elements into a sound beyond categorization. Dietschi has created a book of repertoire that dances between the avant-garde and the traditional, and is highly influenced by artists/composers such as Chris Potter, Dave Holland, Bela Bartok, Maria Schneider, and others. Using many modern compositional techniques, the group has drawn a clear lineage back to the roots of jazz, yet simultaneously pushes forward to develop a new hybrid sound. Repertoire for their concerts consists entirely of original compositions by Jesse Dietschi.
The JDDQ is capable of multiple performance settings. The group's full concert consists of original compositions written and arranged entirely by the group's leader, Jesse Dietschi, with some additions from the group's saxophonist, Ben Dietschi.
The concert is typically two sets of music, combining for an approximate total of 1.5 hours of music. These compositions range from lyrical groove-based contemporary jazz to more abstract compositions utilizing 20th and 21st century techniques.
The group is also capable of providing interactive concert/clinics for school programs, and can perform as a single "standard" jazz quartet (saxophone, piano, bass, drums) for a reduced cost for programs wishing to keep costs low. These concert/clinics would involve a one-set concert, approximately 1 hour in length, and would encourage students to ask questions to help them understand the process of improvising. Sectionals with school bands are also available for additional fees.

Gerry D'Onofrio and Dora Ramirez, a married couple living in Northern Virginia with many years of experience behind the camera, founded GerDora Photography as a result of a long-time dream of sharing their fine art images with the world. Their interests include the natural world as well as traditional and contemporary themes reflecting different points of view. They work together and complement each other believing their joint efforts enhance their final creations.
"We will be happy if any of our fine art images evokes a feeling of joy, serenity, empathy, or transports you to a place where you have always wanted to go or one that you visited and brings back memories and a smile to your face. Please peruse our site and enjoy our photographs."
If you would like to acquire any one of their fine art images in sizes that are not listed on the website, please contact them at firstname.lastname@example.com. Their photographs are available in a variety of sizes and formats.
. . .
More About Gerry
Gerry discovered 35mm film photography in the early seventies and saw it as an extension of his black and white pencil drawing, enjoying the dodging and burning or "painting" with light in the darkroom. From then on, he never went hiking without his camera. While living in the San Francisco Bay Area, he photographed the southwestern United States, including Yosemite and other national parks, during all four seasons, always following the "blue highways" of the "old" paper maps. He considers himself fortunate to have met and talked with photography master Ansel Adams during a book signing event at a Bay Area museum.
Gerry has a vast collection of nature and domestic and international travel photographs in film negatives and slides waiting to be scanned.
After taking his time transitioning from film to digital photography, he is now enjoying the creative as well as the technical aspects of the "digital" darkroom to produce his photographic work and realizing his artistic vision.
Gerry volunteered his time as coordinator of the 6th Annual Friends of Claude Moore Park Photography Expo in Sterling, Virginia, which broke the record up to that time for the number of entries submitted by attracting many area photographers new to the Expo. No longer being able to coordinate the Photo Expo, he did, however, enter the competition in 2014 and was awarded two first places and the Best in Show by a blind panel of judges.
"Pushed" by Dora to continue entering photo competitions, he won first place in the Reston Bicycle Club's Century Ride T-shirt competition, coordinated by ArtSpace Herndon. His image was printed on over 1,200 T-shirts handed out to the riders. He also placed well on subsequent competitions.
Gerry is a member of the Loudoun Arts Council and the American Society for Quality.
. . .
More About Dora
At one point in her life, Dora decided to make a list of the main goals she wanted to achieve outside of her full-time work and learning about photography was one of them. She got herself a 35mm camera, took a photography course at the local college, and fell in love with this art form. When she met her husband Gerry, she was pleasantly surprised to find out that they shared the same passion and have been a photography team ever since.
Dora was very enthusiastic about entering her first photography competition and was astonished to win not only the first place award in her category but also the Best in Show. This motivated her to enter the ArtSpace Herndon Fine Art Photography competition where her photographs were selected as finalists three years in a row and she took first place in 2015.
She also entered the Reston Bike Club 2015 Century Ride T-Shirt Competition and this time she won first place. As a result, GerDora Photography's images have been printed on the Century Ride's t-shirts two years in a row.
Dora has continued to enter more regional competitions and has placed well in all of them. Her path as a fine art photographer has been recognized by several articles in the Virginia Loudoun Mirror Times Monitor newspaper.

Kassadin Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
I was looking around and Kassadin Builds and decided the guides were all either vague or... Just plainly lacking. So here is where I set my next stride.
Firstly I'm not claiming I know all about Kassadin HELL I'm not even saying I know a lot just giving some advice on my time playing him. He's an amazing anti-mage but in the same token wonderful cannon fodder.
I'll try and add some better explanation at a later date. But for the moment this is just a nice way to build him always remember. Null -> Riftwalk -> Deathfire Grasp -> Force pulse -> 2nd Riftwalk.
