Is there an "award" for fighter with the worst injury who keeps fighting? I nominate Dan Simmler.
Is there an "award" for referee with the coolest head who makes two very difficult, outcome-determining take-down points/no points calls despite opposing shout-outs from the other camp? Sticks by his guns? And is vindicated based on the lack of coach protest (which was permitted at this tournament)? I nominate Mark Simmerman. (Who,BTW, also fought in HOW MANY matches (adult? masters? absolute) on TWO days? Plus had time for administration of a very hectic tournament? PLUS - LOL - apparently even had time and energy left over for some "intrafamilial bickering?")
And for anyone who thinks MMA fighters are "fighters" but BJJ people are just "competitors" I urge you to find the inevitable You Tube video and watch this match and see two FIGHTERS at the top of their games and on one of their best days.
Just another day in Bangkok at Lumpini Park while the civilians are doing tai chi outside.

Dan Simmler's injury was pretty gnarly and required stitches later.
The entire referee crew deserves awards in my opinion. Tough calls all around for sure.
Always good to have Webber here in Bangkok.

With the fast growing and ever evolving business of selling online, one of the greatest fears of online store owners today is on the subject of ecommerce cart abandonment.
As the competition gets stiffer, the worries about cart abandonment rates climbing increases. But as the more people whine about higher cart abandonment rates, the more ecommerce grows, which creates increasingly more opportunities if you see things the right way.
Yet according to Ecommerce Experts, to prosper in ecommerce means looking for a pragmatic way of benefitting out of this cart abandonment problem.
My only answer to this is the fact that it generates opportunities for the most enlightened and smart store owners. The simple truth is, a deserted cart in one shop will lead to an actual purchase in another. Wouldn't you like to make yours the actual shop for purchase?
Ecommerce Expert statistics uncover that 99% of shoppers do not make a purchase throughout their first stop by at any online store. Also, 80% of visitors on any website are surfers alternatively than shoppers. Out of these, 25% are in reality visitors not considering buying. But, an impressive 75% are serious buyers who survey the marketplace and then get back to one of the online selling websites to complete their purchase. So, if you do the right research and make good use of data found, you will benefit from the last group of people, around 75%, who get to come back.
How can I ensure that they come back to my store?
While searching for solutions to reduce shopping cart abandonment, it's critical to assess the reasons customers leave your site without completing a purchase.
According to Shopify, these are the top 10 reasons for cart abandonment:
- Presented with unexpected costs (56%)
- I was just browsing (37%)
- Found a better price elsewhere (36%)
- Overall price too expensive (32%)
- Decided against buying (26%)
- Website navigation too complicated (25%)
- Website crashed (24%)
- Process was taking too long (21%)
- Excessive payment security checks (18%)
- Concerns about payment security (17%)
Bearing these in mind, if we decide to categorize this list we would wrap up with two standard reasons which are: Shoppers who are displeased with your website's functionality and high charges, and those who are yet to make up their minds about buying anything.
What methods can I use to reduce cart abandonment?
Improve your payment methods. Sometimes people try to escape from complicated payment methods. They want easy and simple ways to buy things online.
Show shoppers an offer right before they leave. Just before people leave your checkout process, you can make a good offer and request for their email address. Concentrating on abandoners with an exit-intent popup can prevent them from leaving instantly.
Make your checkout process simple. Online shoppers have a tendency to be comfortable adding low-cost items to their carts but are put off when they see unexpected checkout total. All you need to do is to avoid concealed fees whenever you can.
Use retargeting to bring back abandoners to your site. More often we assume that if someone has liked your product and added it to the cart, they'll remember it. Unfortunately most times they won't. Remember, out of sight, out of mind. Re-targeting is a superb way to remind your lost shoppers about the items they've left out on your site.
Send a well-timed follow-up email. When it comes to cart recovery emails, timing is almost everything. In truth, it is as vital as sending the email itself. Preferably, you will need to send your email within a day of them checking out so that the prospect's near purchase is still fresh in their mind.

Integrative Dry Needling (IDN) - this modality uses fine filament needles inserted into muscles to facilitate healing of tissue, release of muscular tension, promote improved circulation to affected tissues, and stimulate the body's return to homeostasis. Similarities with acupuncture include use of the same type of needle, but IDN focuses on treatment of musculoskeletal disorders (as opposed to also treating visceral disorders) following principles of neuroanatomy (as opposed to a meridian system) to determine needle placement and affect results. These differences make it a distinctly different modality from acupuncture. Acupuncture is certainly a healing system which Maribeth and her staff also have great respect for.
Myofascial release techniques - fascia is the tissue that
surrounds virtually every muscle and organ in our body. Understanding
its structure and function is integral to developing a complete
treatment program
Spinal and extremity mobilization including training in
Maitland Approach and High Velocity Low Amplitude Thrust Techniques
which offer effective means for restoring motion and decreasing
pain. Integral to these techniques is the importance of listening

Mulligan Concept offers upright positions for spinal mobilization
which may be advantageous to the acute patient with limited ability
to tolerate lying down for treatment and employ active participation

Porsche 964 3.6 Liter Turbo S Flachbau
Throughout the history of the brand our friends in Stuttgart have become notorious for releasing ultra-limited edition runs of some of the most iconic models in Porsche history. This infuriates us not only because they are some of the most extraordinarily inaccessible and expensive models produced, but also because they're simply some of the coolest and most special Porsche products on the market. And the fact that we may never get the chance to drive them let alone see them face to face makes our hearts sink. Fortunately for us here at City Gazettes we're able to get up close and personal with one of those very special limited edition models. The 964 3.6 Liter Turbo S Flachbau.
The Turbo S Flachbau is a source of controversy to many enthusiasts. Before we delve into that we should probably decipher Porsche-speak and verbiage. Flachbau translates to flat construction or in Porsche language, flat nosed. So in essence the dapper sounding name really is referring to a flat-nosed Porsche 911. In designing the Flachbau what Porsche did was remove the torpedo like headlight cylinders, flatten the hood, and paste two slanted headlamps in place. To some this defiled the Porsche design language of the era and to others it gave wet dreams. Ultimately the design preference comes down to one's own choosing.
Aside from the aesthetic differences the 964 Turbo S Flachbau was relatively similar to standard models. However that slanted nose makes the Flachbau somewhat of a unicorn in the Porsche world. You see the 964 was sold between 1989 to 1994 with over 62,000 models produced. Of those 62,000 only 76 models worldwide became Flachbau 964's. That's about 0.16%. As in with a period in front of the 1. Even more so only about 40 of those flat-nosed 964's were designated for U.S. markets. Those statistics pretty much make the Flachbau the stuff of legend. To put the rarity of this model into context dollar-wise, Jerry Seinfeld was one of the few and fortunate original owners of a 964 Flachbau and recently auctioned his off. That particular model sold for over $1 Million dollars. This pretty much puts the 964 Flachbau within 918 territory dollar-per-dollar.
This begs the question, how do 76 Porsche 964 Turbo chassis become hand-built, flat-nosed variants of the standard model? Well, as with many other super exclusive Porsche models, they get transferred over to the Porsche Exclusive Department. This is basically where Porsche leadership give their foremost engineers access to the most advanced super-secret Porsche labs available and tell them, "Hey, build an insanely radical Porsche that only a handful of people in the world will be able to buy." And thus limited edition models like the 964 Flachbau are born.
Without a doubt the flattened nose is cause for controversy and sure it wasn't the fastest. But, the 964 Turbo S Flachbau is unquestionably the most exclusive Porsche built in its era and perhaps one of the most exclusive Porsche's ever built period.
Want to experience rare Porsches up close and personal? Check out the inventory at Parkhaus1, maybe you'll drive one home.

Basement Floors
Mud-jacking, sometimes referred to as slab-jacking, is the process of pumping a slurry mix of pulverized soil, sand, and cement into a hole drilled on the surface of basement floors. As the void is replaced with the slurry mix, the basement floors can be raised back to their original position, or sometimes a void is simply filled to avoid problems with the slab in the future. Foundation King offers this service to repair basement floors and any other concrete surface where our equipment can reach the area to be repaired. Call today to set up your free estimate!

Practice The Pause
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
~ Philippians 4:13 ~
It isn't always necessary to achieve great things. Sometimes, just surviving is a great achievement.
~ Author Unknown ~
Hello friends. (smile) How are you, doing? (wink)
I got a lot of book writing done the last few days with no stress. Praise The Lord. My chores, not so much. (wink)
For those of us returning to the circus, let's keep the faith to practice the pause while speaking "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me".
Sing a song. Smile. Take a walk. Get a beverage. Praise The Lord until the mood changes. Anything, just keep the faith and practice the pause. (smile)
We're too blessed to be stressed! (humor)
Blessings as we remember, I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me! The rest is irrelevant and let's put it at the foot of the cross. (smile)
Enjoy your day!
Greatest Test of Faith
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
~ Romans 8:28 ~
"Life is a series of surprises." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~
Hello friends. (smile) Hope you are enjoying the holiday season.
Keep the faith and trust in God's timing!
Blessings as we remember God can work all things out and thanking Him through anything else.
Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
~ Jeremiah 17:7-8 ~
Expectations are like preferences and perspectives; they will be different for everyone. So getting angry and frustrated by differences is foolish; until God prefects unconditional love within us. This is a lifelong process. ~ Ann Friend ~
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
~ Romans 8:28 ~
And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
~ Philippians 2:11-13 ~
Hello friends. (smile) Ever get tired of things and stuff and/or Y moments and say enough? I've been working on this "enough" rant for awhile. (shock face) By the grace of God and the Holy Spirit, I was able to finish this message with love and encouragement to illustrate negative and positive with regards to enough. Praise The Lord. (smile)
Even those of us, who love The Lord, get tired and say enough. I'm keeping it real. Everyday that God wakes us up brings opportunities, by faith, to run our race and work out our salvation, as well as, loving those around us.
Here is where faith and a relationship with God brings comfort. He is the only one who can change a heart. There are some things we're not meant to carry. There are some Y's, not ours to fix. Here is the wisdom of Romans 8:28, all things can and will be used by God to get us where we need to be.
We learn by repetition. We learn by our mistakes. We learn by letting go. We learn to have faith and trust God's timing.
Life will bring challenges via things and people. Idiosyncrasies. Adapting and adjusting. Loving one another in spite of our differences. In the 21st century, we must be open enough to change.
Being spirit led and having spiritual fruit–love (giving), joy (gladness), peace (free from worry and fear), long suffering (patience), gentleness (kindness), goodness (generosity), faith (dependability), meekness (gentleness) and temperance (self-control), within us brings inner change that lights the outside of us.
Until we're ready to take responsibility of our choices and let God walk us through, we won't understand the freedom of saying enough, Lord, let thy will be done.
Enough of impatience. 2 Corinthians 6:3-10 – Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed: But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings; By pureness, by knowledge, by long suffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed; As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
Enough of spitefulness. Romans 12:18-21 – Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
Enough of fear. Isaiah 41:10-13 -Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish. Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought. For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
Enough of doubt. Matthew 11:23 – For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
Enough of unbelief. Matthew 17:20 – And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
Enough of envy. Romans 13:12-14 – The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
Enough of pettiness. Matthew 23-24 – Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
Enough of negativity. Luke 6:27-28 – But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. And also Luke 6:45 – A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
Enough of judging. Matthew 7:1-3 – Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Enough of anger. Ephesians 4:31-32 – Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clam our, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
Enough is to know what scripture to speak to situations. Enough is to know that prayer is powerful. Enough is to know faith.
Enough is a blessing when we're ready, God will provide the next step to move forward.
Your comments or thoughts are welcome. (smile)

Hashtag (#) Careless

Hello friends. (smile) It's a beautiful thing to cast anything and everything to God. Hashtag careless. Praise The Lord.
My sound bite "roll with it" has evolved to "hashtag careless". (wink)
Ah, the ebbs and flows of challenges. The testing of patience and self control. Things and stuff. Those X and Y angst moments. Let it go and hashtag careless.
We can't internalize garbage. Hashtag careless.
We don't have to participate in every silly conversation. Hashtag careless.
We won't have fear, by faith. Hashtag careless.
We can thank God for his mercy and grace even when we stumble.
We can be grateful that God will never leave us nor forsake us.
We are too blessed to be stressed. Put it at the foot of the cross! Hashtag careless! (smile)
Slice of Heaven
The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring."
~ Oscar Wilde ~
Hello friends. (smile) Thanks and God bless you for providing a slice of heaven into my life! (smile) and {{hugs}} I appreciate you!
It's the little things that deliver a slice of heaven into someone's life.
Providing encouragement in a time of need. Providing a smile can change someone's challenging moment. Providing strength just by being around. Listening when someone has angst.
One of the hardest lessons to remember is that each of us are going through something.
That something will test us to produce more spiritual fruit, (love (giving), joy (gladness), peace (free from worry and fear), long suffering (patience), gentleness (kindness), goodness (generosity), faith (dependability), meekness (gentleness) and temperance (self-control)) within us.
No matter the something, we provide a slice of heaven into someone's life every time we lessen their angst by the "one another" scriptures below:
Love one another – John 13:34 and John 15:12,17.
Forgive one another – Ephesians 4:32 and Colossians 3:13.
Be servants to one another – Galatians 5:13.
Show hospitality to one another – 1 Peter 4:7-10.
Pray for one another – James 5:16.
Build up (edify) one another – Romans 14:19, 1 Thessalonians 5:11.
Greet one another – Romans 16:16, 1 Peter 5:14.
Forbear one another – Ephesians. 4:1-2 and Colossians 3:13-14.
Do not judge one another – Romans 14:13.
Do not speak evil of one another – James 4:11.
Do not murmur against one another – James 5:9.
Do not bite and devour one another – Galatians 5:15.
Do not provoke and envy one another – Galatians 5:26.
Have the same care for one another – 1 Corinthians 12:25-26.
Receive one another – Romans 15:7.
Teach one another – Colossians 3:16.
Admonish (counsel) one another – Romans 15:14 and Colossians 3:16.
Submit to one another – Ephesians 5:21-22.
Confess your sins to one another – James 5:16.
Do not lie to one another – Colossians 3:9.
Be kind to one another – Ephesians 4:32.
Comfort one another – 1 Thessalonians 4:18, 5:11.
Blessings, friends, as we provide a slice of heaven into each other's life today. (smile)

Whether you are new to the races, or perhaps new to Australia, it might be that you are up for a day at the races. Since there are so many really lovely racecourses around the country, you might want a bit of help learning how to place a bet. It really isn't all that difficult, especially with a little help from technology, but just don't pay too much attention to all those stories about people walking away with thousands.
It can happen, and sometimes does especially with a good bit of beginner's luck, but isn't likely without a bit of experience and a lot of help from technology. So where can you find the best Australian racing tip for 2017? The answer would lie in cyberspace.
Longshots Are Good but 'Good' Odds Are Better
Everyone, even seasoned followers of the races, dreams of winning that one really big longshot. That one where you bet $10 and walk away with a small fortune. That can happen and really does happen but even more importantly, you should learn what 'good' odds are.
Not to say that good odds are diametrically opposed to longshot odds, it's just in the way they've been determined and calculated. Perhaps it might be better to say, good odds have solid math behind them and usually in the form of technological real-time calculations. What makes a horse a 'favourite' with the crowds doesn't always compute the same way from a technological standpoint.
Learning to Keep up With the Odds
There was a time when you knew which horses would be running in which race based on the program you may have picked up the day or week before. However, there are always last minute changes to the program such as those times when a horse perhaps was injured during training or the jockey was unable to ride that day. Many professional horsemen have alternate jockeys but there are some horses that are literally bonded to their jockey and only do well with that one person in the saddle.
Yes, you can still get a printed, hardcopy program but these days we tend to follow the races online. Besides the fact that you can go to your local bookmaker and place a bet as well as when attending the races, changes cannot be made in print once that program has gone to press.
However, real time odds and changes in horses racing can be easily punched in online and so you have a better chance of keeping up with the odds. While the number 7 horse, for example, would have done well with the horse that had slotted to start from gate 5, that same #7 horse may not do well against the horse they slot in there once the other is pulled or disqualified.
It Takes Literally Years to Learn the Ropes
While anyone can learn to place a wager and there is even a Betting on Horse Racing for Dummies Cheat Sheet, that tells you simply how to place your bet and how to bet based on 'traditionally calculated' odds. Technology has so much more to offer and with the speed at which mathematical calculations can be completed, even complex permutations and statistical analyses, a computer program is often much more reliable than the head of a human, even though a human programmed the software.
Also, there are handy apps that you can download that give you real time analysis and betting odds right up to the moments leading to the race.
If you want the very best tip for 2017, it would be to find an app like one you can download from the bdbd betting site and you will have everything you know going up to the window to make that bet. You will know which horses are running, the odds at the moment in real time and also you will know a bit more about the racecourse, the horse, the jockey, the owner and other pertinent information that can help you make that wager.
Just don't expect the big win right away. If it comes, great, if not, keep playing the odds. Sooner or later you'll get it down and even if your win is only occasional, you'll have so much fun trying. That, after all, is the best win of all – having a really good time.Powered by Sidelines Follow paulmbanks

Well, what do you know? There's life offline! I know. I can't believe it either. ;) I actually made a "to-do" list for this month to make sure I always had something to do at all times. I'm the kind of person who doesn't "do" being lazy (hey, time wasting online was still doing something, lol) so I am glad I gave myself a list of things to do. At last count, there were 48 items on the list and 17 had been crossed off. Of course the list will grow as I cross things off of the list and find new things to add to it.
One thing I learned from my time away from most social networks (I've been spending less time on Twitter, too) and from making my list is that my priorities prior to the change were horribly out of whack. I was spending less time in prayer, less time doing things I really needed to do (I'm playing catch-up on a couple of things right now), and more time procrastinating and, well, fitting the stereotype of the lazy Millennial. While I actually did work and ran the household (errands, budget, care of, etc), I was still not taking advantage of the precious time I currently have. After all, this is the first time I've had time to myself and this won't last forever if my vocation is of wife and mother. Making my list and really spending time offline has put things back into perspective for me.
I've added prayer to my day in the form of praying both the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary AND the Liturgy of the Hours. I was previously only doing the Little Office but I have found that I get the most out of doing both. Once I get my schedule back on track (sleeping hours are currently messed up) and can do the two without scrambling on time, I will add the Rosary and Chaplet of the Divine Mercy back into my routine. With the amount of free time I currently have, I can definitely do it. It's just going to take some getting used to. I've already figured out that I can do the Rosary and Chaplet while driving every day but I won't do it all at once. Baby steps. :)
What else have I achieved in 4 days of no Facebook and little time online?
- Hung up curtain rods and heat blocking curtains
- Written and mailed a couple of snail mail letters
- Paid off bills and student loan either on time or super early
- Really gotten in touch with friends I was "in touch" with on FB
- Done a couple of favors for neighbors
- Helped mom achieve something she's talked about for years
- etc etc.
It doesn't seem like much but it's little victories that remind me that, like cable (which I don't miss either; 5 months cable-free!), Facebook was completely unnecessary. I'm really much happier and stress-free, which was the whole point of the deactivation. I'm not saying that I won't miss it at all but I definitely have things that remind me that I made the right decision.
So that's my little update on how things are going sans Facebook. It's still early but so far so good and, bonus!, I've gotten a chance to use hammers and screwdrivers, which I love. Yes, I not-so-secretly love assembling things and doing home projects. Okay, and maybe I love tinkering around the car as well. I am my father's daughter after all. ;)
That's it for now. I'm trying to stay offline as much as possible, especially with my anxiety not being the best for the past week and a half. I'm going to try to come up with three things for tomorrow's "What I Learned Wednesday" post (yes, I am still doing those; it's on my list) and try to cross at least three more things off of my list before I hit the hay. ;)
I hope y'all had a great weekend and are having a fab week thus far. :D
As always, thanks for reading and God bless! :D

Finn Anderson
Finn Anderson had written his first musical and self-released 2 solo EPs before leaving school at 16 to study Music.
Raised in Fife on the East Coast of Scotland, Finn spent his early teens staging self-penned theatre productions at his local theatre; using the profits to build a home recording studio where he began producing solo music. After graduating from the University of Highlands and Islands age 19, Finn ventured South to complete a Masters in Musical Theatre Writing at Goldsmiths, University of London.
Embracing his penchant for the theatrical and knack for poetic storytelling, Finn's songs are characterised by their lyrical intricacy and his distinctive baritone voice. Straddling various styles and genres, his music has drawn comparisons to Rufus Wainwright, John Grant and Antony and the Johnsons.
Now 24 and based in Glasgow, Finn has created an impressive and diverse body of work. Alongside his solo songwriting, he has written two award-nominated musicals and composed music for a number of performance, film and art projects.
"Finn Anderson could be called a musical miracle child. Already at the age of 14 he made his own recording studio in his parents' house, at 16 he had already released two EPs and moved on to music studies. Today the Scotsman is 24 years old, composes musicals and film music. Thank god there is still time for his own projects."
"Can one start the week more beautifully than with this voice… his music has an aura of professionalism and affability which is all too often absent… A wonderful new discovery"
(Sound Kartell)
"All three tracks of this EP are just gorgeous, with Anderson's perfect voice carrying his words over those excellently-crafted melodies… will leave you speechless."
(Codes And Notes)
"a very talented Scottish musician"
(Chios Radio)
(Jim Gellatly, Amazing Radio, on 'Hitchcock')

Surging cyber-attacks, cloud penetration, increased network connectivity, and the growing complexity of disruptive cyber-attacks, are all drivers supporting a growing cybersecurity need.
Platform approach
Trends point towards a platform approach whereby one vendor ideally covers all security needs with one single solution (a very difficult endeavour though). Companies achieving this will be the winners when looking forward. We also believe attractive areas of security will be those that offer tools and services to help improve the manageability of security architectures.
Tranformation to detection and response
Enterprises are transforming their security spending strategy, moving away from prevention-only approaches to focus more on detection and response. The shift to detection and response approaches spans people, process and technology elements. This has also created new security product segments and revenue opportunities.
Far from maturity
The cybersecurity industry is far from maturity. Many new companies with new approaches and technologies are constantly emerging, leading to a highly fragmented sector. This leads to considerable volatility, consolidation potential, and technology risks, as the industry follows the constant arms race of attacker against defender.

Poking a little more fun at Audible For Dogs
We poked a little fun at Amazon's new Audible For Dogs yesterday, but, as we see, the campaign is so lame there's plenty of room for more poking.
So up there above is what Conan O'Brien's writers did with it.
Audible has teamed up with Cesar Millan, and their effort is receiving a truly inordinate amount of media coverage, especially when you consider it's really no effort at all — rather, it's just featuring some audio books they already offer on a new web page.
Given it's just another way for them to move existing merchandise, and given most of us dog owners already knew that turning on the television or a radio (both of which cost you less than an audio book) could help keep home-alone dogs company, there's nothing there but some slick marketing.
Not to rub their noses in it, but the campaign by Audible and its parent company Amazon deserves every bit of ridicule it gets.

Much ado about nothing: Audible partners with Millan to launch audio books for dogs
Gotta call bullshit on this one.
Well, maybe "bullshit" is too strong a term. Maybe I should just say, "Give me a break" or "Get real," while rolling my eyes and wondering what consumers are going to fall for next.
Audible and Cesar Millan have teamed up, offering and promoting a book-of-the-month type program, in which, for $14.95 a month, you can choose audio books to play for your dog while you're not home.
Of course Audible For Dogs is the same thing as Audible for humans, thereby requiring no investment from Audible, or parent company Amazon, other than what they're spending on promoting the campaign and the undisclosed amount they're paying Millan, who reportedly is helping choose the books and making promotional appearances.
If you're not the sort to buy "Pride and Prejudice" for yourself, you might be willing to buy it for your dog, Audible figures, and play it for him to keep him calm and occupied when you leave the house.
The campaign promotes books the company already offers in audio, featuring them on the Audible For Dogs web page — sometimes classics, sometimes bestsellers, sometimes dog-themed, including several by (you guessed it) Cesar Millan.
It's all based on a 2015 study performed at Hartpury College in the U.K. that showed that listening to audio books reduced stress in shelter dogs even more than music does.
Follow-up research was conducted with 100 dog participants through Millan's Dog Psychology Center, and it found (big surprise) exactly what the company wanted it to find.
Specifically, Millan's center found that 76% of dog owners who played audio books for their dogs reported an increase in calm, relaxed behavior in their pets over a four-week period.
Audible is already the largest seller of narrated books.
But it has figured out it can sell even more by cashing in on our tendency to pamper our dogs and exploiting the guilt we feel when we leave them alone
As one of the owners involved in Millan's "follow-up study" explained, she used to feel guilty every time she left her dog, Buddy, at home alone.
In a video interview with Millan, she spoke of the effects the audio book program had on her dog and, more importantly it seems, her.
"I was really surprised at the lack of guilt I found when I was able to do that, it was like leaving him with a friend," the woman, named Leslie, says. "I could go out with a smile on my face and feel really good about what I was doing for him."
News flash, Leslie: You could have just left a TV or radio on for him and achieved pretty much the same effect, saving $14.95 a month.
($14.95 is the regular price for an Audible subscription, which comes with one new book a month.)
I'll admit I leave the TV on for my dog, rescued from a Korean dog farm, in hopes it will keep him calm and help him get used to non-threatening humans.
But would I buy him his own audio book? Absolutely not — unless maybe it was one narrated by the soothing voice of Morgan Freeman, or the calm, sleep-inducing, you-can't-have-too-much-Xanax voice of Bob Ross, the painter.
(Disclaimer 1: We are not implying Bob Ross uses Xanax. You can have too much Xanax. And so can your dog.)
(Disclaimer 2: I apply this same therapy to myself, seeking out a reassuring voice on TV to fall asleep to. Sixty-three year old's can't suck their thumbs. This is why I often go to bed with Bob Newhart.)
Millan suggests choosing a book narrated by a person of the same gender as their dog's primary master and notes that "it's the consistency of a tone that allows the dog to stay in that (relaxed) frame of mind."
He also suggested the books be played at average volume on a listening device such as the Alexa-driven Echo, which Audible's parent Amazon just so happens to sell.
Millan says audio books can help dogs better cope with the separation anxiety many have when left alone, which can result in bad behavior, including barking, destruction and peeing.
He also told USA Today, "I'm always looking for ways where people don't feel guilty, worried, (or) stressed when they leave their dogs alone."
Again, none of this is actually groundbreaking.
Most of us likely had already figured out that an audio book — like the television or radio — can keep our dog "company."
Yet Audible/Amazon still felt the need to appoint a celebrity, create a new niche market, conduct a campaign, issue press releases and have a "launch."
"While most dog owners will indeed go to great lengths to ensure the happiness of their four-legged family members, you can't help but approach Audible For Dogs with a healthy dose of skepticism," wrote USA Today. "So is Audible barking up the wrong tree?"
We'd say yes, unless you're talking about the money tree.
To its credit, through the end of the year, Audible will donate a dime per download to Long Island's North Shore Animal League America, the world's largest no-kill rescue and adoption organization, up to a total donation of $250,000.
Millan also somewhat philanthropically recorded an original audio book for the service called "Cesar Millan's Guide to Bringing Home a Shelter Dog," which you can download for free.
Launch titles include Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice," performed by Rosamund Pike; Trevor Noah's "Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood," performed by Noah; W. Bruce Cameron's "A Dog's Purpose," performed by William Dufris; Garth Stein's "The Art of Racing in the Rain," performed by Christopher Evan Welch; and Maria Goodavage's "Soldier Dogs: The Untold Story of America's Canine Heroes," performed by Nicole Vilencia.
We laugh at Audible's effort. And yet, at the same time, we encourage them, if they are going to persist in this, to work some books narrated by Morgan Freeman, Bob Ross and Bob Newhart into the mix.
We'd also suggest some Hans Christian Anderson — specifically, "The Emperor's New Clothes," because it so perfectly reflects what they are up to: making people think something is there when it's not.
The only thing there is a desire to sell more books. With fewer humans reading them, maybe Audible felt the need to branch out to other species.
I'd warn you that the day could come — given all the books dogs might be consuming and a decline in our own reading — that dogs could become smarter than us.
But there's a pretty good chance that day is already here.

If you liked Philip Langdon`s excellent and appreciative Orange Roofs, Golden Arches: The Architecture of American Chain Restaurants (Knopf, $19.95), Stan Luxenberg`s book may hit you, to say nothing of the franchisers, like a bucket of cold water.
The book is not so much a hatchet job as an anatomy of the business -- how it so rapidly expands, how advertising and marketing create demand, the mechanics of recruiting and training, the development and testing of new products and fascinating profiles of its heroes -- Kentucky Fried Chicken`s Colonel Sanders, McDonald`s Ray Kroc, Dunkin` Donuts` William Rosenberg, Holiday Inn`s Kemmons Wilson, Wendy`s David Thomas, all of whom understood the profitable implications of the growth of suburbia and the car culture.
But Luxenberg also observes that the franchisers have all but ruined the mom `n` pop businesses, decreased local venture capital by forcing small businesses into bankruptcy and exploited a non-union work force largely made up of high school students doing boring jobs at high speeds for minimum wages. What`s more, the chains are making depersonalized lookalikes of the suburbs and neighborhoods in which they do business.
WHAT`S RIGHT WITH AMERICA. By Dwight Bohmbach. Bantam. $3.50.
All right, so Dwight Bohmbach may look at the nation through red, white and blue glasses. All around him he likes what he sees. He is more upbeat than Ronald Reagan -- and without even telling stories from the movies as if they had happened in real life.
On the other hand, Bohmbach likes Ralph Nader. He likes the vigorous, whistle-blowing free press. He likes the battles Americans have when things go bad. He is not terribly worried that the country is going to hell, because it has been there before and always bounces back.
In 318 pages of facts, figures, short histories and anecdotes, Bohmbach is really documenting what Winston Churchill said long ago -- that democracy is the worst form of government in the world, except for every other form that has ever been tried.

This is a commonly used word among people who are searching for effective ways to shed weight. Unfortunately, it has been misunderstood many times. There have been occasions were people have assumed that metabolism is a major barrier against their success in losing weight. They believe that their bodies have a slower metabolism thus stimulating more storage of fats in the body. This is a wrong idea; your body's metabolism can be controlled and influenced absolutely by you. There are many effective ways through which you enable your body's metabolism to utilize more calories- this is essential to lose weight.
This is just the beginning of our unraveling the important role metabolism will play in your plan to become healthier by losing weight. It is important to clearly define what metabolism actually is.
What is Metabolism?
Metabolism essentially refers to the means through which your digestive system processes every food or drink that we consume. These foods are processed by our bodies to extract the vital nutrients- this covers all the classes of nutrients. A good metabolic action will completely break down every form of food or drinks and utilize the nutrients to provide essential energy for use in the body.
The nutrients that are basically generated through metabolism are the basic ones we are familiar with- Carbohydrates, fats, proteins, all classes of vitamins etc.
There are two clear classifications for a metabolic activity in the body; they are the anabolic and catabolic actions. The anabolic actions during metabolism will break down the foods into their nutritional components while the catabolic actions are basically those processes that generate energy from the broken down foods previously consumed.
Both processes that are classified under metabolism- anabolic and catabolic processes end up producing the necessary energy we need to survive and go through our daily activities. This is an indication that we must ensure that our metabolic activities are not hindered by any circumstances to ensure we always have a steady supply of energy to do work.
A good metabolism will see to the complete breakdown of every food that is consumed. This means that there will be fewer chances of fats being stored as a large percentage of the consumed food will essentially be converted to energy. This energy will be used up with no negative impact to the body.
This ultimately places a healthy diet and a good metabolism at an equally level that influences the shedding of weight. The energy produced is vital for sustenance and good health; it is from this energy that other useful compounds like proteins and amino acids are made available in the body.
Another important point to note is the essence of eating a balanced diet. A balanced diet will supply the body with the vital nutrients in their right proportions to sustain a good metabolism. Your success is losing weight will become apparent when you can balance out your diet in a way that it will aid a good metabolism.
#1 The role of Nutrients
What are the benefits of Nutrients?
We should be focused on improving our health standards
Our bodies depend on what you take in to get the essential nutrients for proper functioning. As we grow older, the demands by our bodies will be different from what it was when we were younger; this is why the diet recommended for a teenager will be different from what is recommended for a middle aged individual. The basic idea is to consume foods in the right proportions that will provide the adequate amount of energy needed by the body to function properly.
Nutrients influence our weight
How our bodies utilize the nutrients it gets from consumed food will definitely influence any form of weight loss or weight gain experienced. Among the classes of nutrients, proteins have been identified as very important determinants that influence weight loss or gain. Consuming foods that will provide the right amounts of protein will facilitate loss of weight but a deficiency in protein can lead to weight gain.
Focus on your protein food sources
How proteins work to sustain weight loss is that they are not easily broken down in the body this means that a high protein meal will make you feel less hungry for longer periods thus reducing your overall food intake.
We should identify the hormones that control our feeling of hunger and those that make us feel less willing to eat. The ghrelin is a unique compound in the body that triggers the hunger pangs we feel. The hormones that act in an opposite fashion to the ghrelin are the peptides, cholecystokinin among others. They suppress your appetite making you feel less hungry.
In summary, you should eat foods that contain higher proportions of proteins, reduce your overall intake of unwanted calories and avoid eating late at night to prevent undue pressure on your digestive systems.
#2 It is a bad idea to skip breakfast
It is still amazing that some people believe that by skipping breakfast they can lose weight faster. This is a bad idea, breakfast is a very important meal and it has a positive influence on weight loss.
A typical breakfast should provide the body with at least 14 grams of protein and 80 calories daily. This nutrient content will ensure that your body gets the desired energy it needs to start the day strong and burn up adequate energy need to facilitate weight loss.
There are many breakfast options that are contain a perfect value in calories and these meals will fill you up keeping hunger away. It's an absolute win for you because your body will get adequate nourishment from all the classes of nutrients and you will still lose the amount of weight that has been pegged as your weight loss goal.
The following tips will be useful in ensuring you take in the right amount of proteins with your breakfast.
Identify the foods that are rich in protein and include them in your breakfast diet.
Try to avoid the inclusion of grains in your meals
There is a wide range of healthy food that is rich in protein. Your options will include- eggs, meat, seafood, yoghurt and many others.
Our bodies will utilize more calories when it digests protein foods, a good way to influence your body to burn calories.
The importance of protein foods in losing weight is even more obvious at this point. The good part is that we eat foods rich in protein every day. This means that all you are expected to do is to identify the protein food that appeals to you most and include it in your wonderful daily breakfast meals.
There are other options you can use to plan the right meals for breakfast. You can engage the services of a professional nutritionist to get the perfect meals that will contain the foods you love most and still influence your body to shed weight.
For further investigation, you can perform a simple research to identify awesome menus that are high in protein and perfect for breakfast.

If you're opening up your own bakery or restaurant, perfect pastries are a great way for you to draw in new customers. However, you can't make the perfect baked goods without the right equipment. When it's time for you to make a cake, a domestic cake mixer just won't do. As a commercial bakery, cafe or restaurant, you'll need a commercial cake mixer with the size, power, and speed to handle big jobs, like a wedding cake or desserts for a catered event.
When you need a commercial cake mixer, you have many options. The mixers designed for commercial use can range from less than five litres to more than 50, so you'll be able to find something to meet your needs no matter whether you're planning to cater big events or just make small, individual cakes to sell by the piece. With brands like Kenwood, KitchenAid, Robot Coupe, and Apuro / Buffalo to choose from, you can't go wrong. These brands offer a wide range of mixers in various sizes and speeds, with all the features that a commercial baker could want.

Summer's Swan Song {CtBF}
It seems like the weather on the first day of September is always cool and crisp. It's technically still summer, but it's as if autumn pops its head up to say "Hi! Missed me? I'm coming soon!" A taste of autumn for a day or two, then summer resumes its place for the duration.
Produce-wise, it's the peak of summer vegetables. Tomatoes, corn, zucchini abound. It's one of my favorite times of year for eating.
This week's recipe for Cook the Book Fridays fit right into the "peak of summer" theme. Baked Provençal Vegetables aka Tian was the order of the day. Sautéed onions and garlic for the bed for an arrangement of thinly sliced zucchini (home grown!), eggplant, and tomatoes sprinkled with thyme and handful of Gruyère cheese. The ingredients resemble those ratatouille, but the technique, baking instead of simmering stovetop, makes a tian so much easier to prepare.
I served the meltingly tender vegetables atop leftover spaghetti. It was delicious. What's not to like? Well, that assumes you're a fan of zucchini and eggplant, which Howard is not. Obviously, I was solo for dinner the night I made this.
If you'd like the recipe, you'll find it on page 226 of David Lebovitz's My Paris Kitchen. This recipe from Saveur is also very similar. You can also find the reviews of my Cook the Book Fridays friends here.
provençal vegetable soup {ffwd}
Hot soup isn't what I usually want to eat during the summer, especially when the weather is hot and humid. The things we do for French Fridays… Even though the temperature didn't seem seasonal, the ingredient list certainly was, especially with tomato and corn. Between my farm share and a few things picked up at the farmers market, this soup turned out to be a masterpiece of local bounty. I also love anything with chickpeas.
I made one modification when I read Dorie's warning about the pasta getting mushy when reheating the soup. I made it the morning to serve for dinner that evening, so I knew reheating was in my soup's future. I chose to cook the pasta separately, cool it down, and keep it in a separate container until later. I just stirred it in when I reheated the soup. It seems to have held up well, not just the night we had it with dinner, but also as leftovers.
As I mentioned, the soup was a bit too hot for the weather, but it did taste delicious! It was amazing that just 3 minutes of simmering infused the vegetable broth with so much tomato flavor. I also enjoyed the drizzle of pesto (which I made sans Parmesan). Howard's not a fan of zucchini, so he didn't love it, but did pronounce it "OK".
You can check out the other Doristas' soups by following their links here. You can find the recipe in Dorie Greenspan's book Around My French Table.
We have a double-header this week. The zucchini plant that I planted about three weeks ago offered up two male blossoms this week. I picked them early in the morning and stored them in the fridge for the evening, when I would make two fried shrimp-filled zucchini blossoms. Unexpectedly, when I stopped by the Belmont Farmers Market in the afternoon, one of the vendors had bunches of pumpkin blossoms for sale, just $4 for just over a dozen, so I bought a bunch to add to my homegrown couple and make it a meal.
I was worried it would be hard, but I was able to pull the stamens out without ripping the blossoms (using tweezers). I stuffed half with shrimp and half with goat cheese mixed with chopped olives and pesto. Other Doristas raved about the batter, and they were right. I loved how it bubbled up and stayed frothy. I'm not a big deep-fryer, but if I were frying stuff again, I'd use this batter recipe.
I enjoyed the fried blossoms. I also liked that there were multiple fillings. Once cooked, I couldn't remember which were which, so the surprise on the first bite of each was fun. I'd make these again, as a once-a-year treat, if I come across blossoms again next summer.
As a final note, I spent last weekend hanging out in New York City with Kathy, Cher, and Diane. What a blast! Diane already posted about our adventures here, so I won't repeat, but I will include a photo of the four of us getting ready to go into Chelsea Market (This is Kathy's picture, I won't take credit). Here's to more Dorista meetups in the future.

Christmas should be fun, right? Then why did God start the Christmas story with a genealogy? Matthew 1:1-17 is a long list of names telling us the names of Jesus' father, grandfather, great-grandfather, great great-grandfather, great great great-grandfather, and so on. It starts with Matthew 1:1
The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
And ends with vs. 17,
So all the generations from Abraham to David were fourteen generations, and from David to the deportation to Babylon fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to the Christ fourteen generations.
That's a lot of generations and a lot of names. And most of us agree, its no fun reading someone else's family tree.
The question is, what makes this family tree so important? Why are we asked to suffer through reading such a long lineage? There are probably several answers, but one seems to be the most obvious. God wants us to know that Jesus isn't the beginning of the story, he is the climax of a much longer story.
When we read the Christmas story this month, it is important to remember that we have skipped to the end of the book. It would be like picking up Lord of the Rings, but starting when Frodo finally gets to Mordor to throw the ring into the fires of Mount Doom. Without having read the first two books, this third climactic book lacks the depth of context and characters that makes it so compelling. The Bible is the same way. It is the Old Testament that adds the depth and context to Jesus' miraculous birth, life, death, and resurrection. We cannot rightly understand the climax without understanding how it fits into the whole story.
If you don't have time to read the entire Bible before Christmas day, I suggest this poem as a good temporary substitute. Matt Papa delivers a dramatic reading of a poem summarizing the entire story of God in about ten minutes. It will help us all remember the context that leads up to the birth of Jesus and then remind us of the significance that Jesus life and death continues to have for us today.
If you have a little more time and you have kids (you are probably thinking that is an oxymoron), I suggest picking up the Big Picture Story Bible. It is one of the best, succinct presentations of the whole story of the Bible. Your kids will learn from it and you will too.
Merry Christmas!
