Hi friends!
How was your weekend? We had a pretty relaxing weekend around here. Friday started out bright and early with… you guessed it!… cantaloupe! I am slowly (or not so slowly) making my way through Connecticut's supply of cantaloupe.
We decided to get a jump on our taxes this year. We were getting all our documents printed and organized when we realized we needed more printer ink. Cue a trip to our local staples to pick up a cartridge. Why is printer ink so expensive…
After picking up our ink, we drove passed Lumi Asian Fusion and figured we'd check it out for dinner. We had never been before but always talk about going whenever we drive past it. I don't think we have been to an Asian fusion place since living in Texas. They seem to be all over Houston but not as many in Connecticut.
I normally like spicy salmon sushi rolls or salmon sashimi, but this time opted for a couple rolls from their "cooked rolls" section: shrimp tempura and a mango roll. Joel got a tuna roll and a couple other raw ones that I can't remember. My shrimp tempura was a very nice change from my usual raw sushi choices, but my heart remains with all things salmon.
The restaurant surprised us by giving us a cute little dessert on the house. 🙂 I love fruit for dessert! Growing up in Nairobi, my family always had fruit for dessert. I don't think we ever did "normal" desserts… just a lot of apples, oranges, mangoes etc… *sigh* I sure do miss having mangoes all the time.
Saturday was a warm day for February (50 degrees!). I met up with a friend, Natasha, for lunch at Rice Pot. This was Joel and my favorite Thai place when we lived in New Haven, and it felt nostalgic to be back.
I normally like to get either a noodle dish or their sizzling chicken. But this time I decided to try their sizzling beef. It came out on this enormous platter… more than half of it came home with me for leftovers. It was super tasty, but I have to say I prefer the sizzling chicken –> the chicken tastes like it's cooked differently compared to the beef (maybe seasoned and baked?), and it also comes with a wider variety of veggies.
Natasha opted for a chicken dish and I was 100% eyeing it the entire time. As you might imagine, I had major order envy! 🙂
Joel worked on finishing up the window muntins and getting them back onto the windows. He wants to go around the trim with paint one last time to clean up some of the edges of the walls. This project has taken a good bit longer than either of us anticipated, but we are almost done! 🙂
We decided on a mini date-night that evening, and so headed to the movies. Originally we wanted to see the Last Jedi but it was no longer playing at our theater. Joel has already seen it but I guess I will just have to wait till it's out on Netflix. Instead, we opted for Jumanji. It was a pretty funny movie — Kevin Hart is hilarious and the dynamic between him and Dwayne Johnson just tickles me. Now that we officially have our MoviePass cards, we will be back for many more movies!
What is your favorite movie snack? I like popcorn as much as the next person (kettle corn or plain salted are my 2 favorites), but this time around I brought in some Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal in a ziplock bag. It was the perfect snack!
Sunday was quite the rainy day. But at least it's warm enough to rain instead of snow, amirite? 🙂
We left church later than expected due to catching up with friends (not a bad reason! haha) — we had planned to go the grocery store right afterwards but were way too hungry by the time we left. So we made a stop at one of our favorite Indian buffets… Zaika!
Their buffet changes each week, which I appreciate a lot. Joel politely inquired about whether there was any beef (there were no beef dishes in the buffet that day) and the lovely server surprised us by bringing out a bowl of curry beef just for us, at no extra charge 🙂
With tummies full of awesome Indian food, we headed to the grocery store to pick up some essentials for the week.
My absolute favorite find at the grocery store were these "nothing added" dried mangoes! No sugar, sulfur, etc! It was so delicious. I love dried mango! I tried to make dried mango in the oven once and it didn't work out very well. I should probably get a dehydrator so that I can make my own proper dried snacks.
The rest of Sunday afternoon/evening was spent at home. Joel did some tinkering with the fridge (we've been seeing a weird error message and hearing strange alarms beeping for a few days)… he found that the evaporator was completely frozen over, so there may not have been enough refrigerant flowing through the expansion device. <– direct quote from Joel who is an engineer and knows way more about this stuff than me. 🙂
We transferred all the food from the fridge to the deck in plastic bags (good thing this happened in the winter — the temperature outside was perfect for this) and all the frozen food to a cooler packed with ice. Then we unplugged the fridge and let it completely defrost.
Once everything was totally defrosted, Joel plugged it back in and we let the inside of the fridge and freezer cool down again. The good news is this seems to have corrected the issue –> no more error messages or beeping alarms! 🙂 Let's hope we won't have any further issues with this or any other kitchen appliance.
My Sunday dinner consisted of grapes –> I wasn't super hungry given our Indian lunch and grapes just sounded good. I'm pretty sure these are some of the best red grapes I have ever had. Connecticut pals: the red grapes at Stop and Shop are absolute PERFECTION right now, go get some! 🙂
My brother Gibbs is currently at Diani Beach on the coast of Kenya. He's actually there for a few meetings, not a vacation… but just LOOK at how beautiful it is. I wouldn't mind being teleported there right this instant!
What's your favorite snack to sneak into the movies? Have you ever made your own dried fruit snacks? What movies are you excited to see this year?

Tomorrow only you can snag a free pastry between opening and 10:30am with your drink purchase (check to make sure your location is participating). Just print this coupon and give it to the barista.

Similarities Between Rude Pundits' 2005 Image, and Tracey Promo Pic?
You be the judge.

As a huge fan of Ullman's, I find your use of the word "mimic" to be horribly inaccurate. Even though she impersonates people, she doesn't simply mimic but rather parodies. I understand this blog is to honour her, so, instead of insulting her, I would find a better word...

Croda announces start of its £27m investment project in Hull
Croda announces start of its £27m investment project in Hull
By Hull Daily Mail | Posted: 18 May 2017
A major investment that will almost double capacity at Croda's manufacturing site in Hull has kicked off.
The speciality chemicals company is investing £27m in its facility in Oak Road, in a move designed to safeguard jobs while boosting innovation and productivity at the site.
The investment is expected to create numerous jobs through the construction phase, as well as laying the foundation for future jobs growth.
A ceremony to celebrate the start of the project was attended by business figures and local councillors, including the Lord Mayor of Hull, Councillor Sean Chaytor.
Croda's group chief executive, Steve Foots, said: "We are hugely proud of our Yorkshire heritage, so I am delighted to be here with the Lord Mayor of Hull, his colleagues and other members of the Croda Board and executive committee to mark the start of the construction phase of this major project - one of the largest capital investments we have ever made at any of our European operations.
"The project will combine cutting edge technology with optimised production and process efficiencies ensuring that Croda can continue to supply the highest performing and most innovative products to our customers across the world."
Croda was founded in 1925 and creates high performance ingredients and technologies that are used in thousands of products worldwide, from personal, healthcare and homecare products to lubricants, food and cosmetics.
The company employs more than 4,200 people worldwide – including over 190 people in Hull.
Justin Williams, Hull site director said: "This strategic investment will provide job security for our workforce and is aligned with the Government's Northern Powerhouse initiative to boost investment in science and innovation. The longer term benefit of this project will be seen across the entire supply chain through a significant increase in the demand for locally grown natural raw materials."With our focus on improving the efficiency of the new and existing facilities, we are showing our ongoing dedication to the sustainable production of the products our customers need to satisfy consumer demands."
The Hull site is one of three polymer additive manufacturing plants operated by Croda.
Croda said the investment will enable it to satisfy a growing demand for its renowned polymer additives – a technology used by global manufacturers to overcome issues like friction, scratch resistance and stability of plastic materials used in industries such as packaging and automotive.
The project is due for completion in 2018.
Cllr Chaytor said: "I am delighted to be here today to witness this important milestone in Croda's growth strategy. As a key employer in Hull and the surrounding region I am delighted that Croda has chosen to invest here, and in doing so is safeguarding local jobs with the hope they will create further opportunities in years to come."

Regular price
CakeFrame is a brand new innovation from Dawn Butler of Dinkydoodle Designs. CakeFrame addresses the age-old issue of creating large, novelty, or multi-tiered cakes with a food-safe support system. Previously, cake decorators resorted to using whatever materials were on hand to give their creations stability; one example of this is drilling holes into wooden boards - often MDF - and then gluing metal plumbing piping to this, but materials such as this are not designed for this use in mind! CakeFrame resolves this issue by being the world's first food-grade support system for cakes!
Consisting of various parts to help you along your way, from base boards, to attaching rods and joints, with CakeFrame you'll be able to finally unleash your creativity without having to worry about stability! The pieces are all compatible with each other, and will interlink at 180°, 90° and 45° angles, allowing you to create larger cakes quickly and confidently, as the pieces will fix together securely with no movement or wobble at all. CakeFrame's hexagonal pieces are durable enough to be used time and time again, and are dishwasher safe, meaning that when you've saved precious hours in creating your novelty cakes, you can then wash your CakeFrame and store it away until your next cake venture!
With CakeFrame, you'll create larger, gravity-defying, or inverted designs that were previously impossible!
This starter kit includes the following:
1 x 10" Round Base Board
1 x 6" Round Platform
1 x 4" Round Platform
2 x Single Angled Joint
2 x Elbow Joint
6 x Connector
12 x Baking Cap
4 x Collar
2 x Lock Nut
4 x 10cm Long Rod
2 x 5cm Medium Rod
2 x 2.5cm Small Rod
1 x Long Foundation

A Narrative History of the Montana Heritage Project
Mischief on the Musselshell
Tim Schaff
Dale Alger
Toni Gies
Forty-four students in the Local Legacies class, the English II class, and the photography class completed a wide array of projects contributing to Roundups knowledge of its heritage. Most of this work was guided by English teacher Tim Schaff, librarian Dale Alger, and art teacher Toni Gies.
Roundup High School offers a Local Legacies class as an elective. The nine students in this class taught by Tim Schaff worked in four major areas that were related to each other: literature, archival work, community contact and interviewing, and historical research.
Students began the year with extensive readings to gain basic knowledge of the history of the region as well as a sense of the issues people here face. They read all or part of the following works: The Ornery Bunch (Falcon Press), Horizon's O'er the Musselshell, Montana, The Greatest Generation, and Flags of Our Fathers. All learners read all of Montana, A History of Two Centuries, and each student had a choice of reading either Flags of Our Fathers or The Greatest Generation. The last two books, dealing with World War II, helped students prepare to interview local veterans.
Class members recorded interviews with eight veterans: Rudy Pfister, John Liggett, Frank Fehernbach, Hazel Moore, Loren Erbe, and Merrill Lee from World War II; and Glen and Mary Russell from Korea and Vietnam. They used the Library of Congress Veteran's Project interview questions for both civilians and veterans. All these interviews were transcribed.
Learners found the interviewing educative and personally gratifying. "When we interviewed Mr. Erbe," said Gina Hansen, "We were there for 3 ½ hours. I was never bored for a second." Though Gina felt the same way about doing the transcription of the tape, most students, like most oral historians, felt that the transcription process was very tedious even though they recognized its value.
As part of an ongoing service project, students made prints from copy negatives of museum photographs created last year. Mr. Schaff and librarian Dale Alger had about 300 negatives that needed to be printed. Under Mr. Alger's supervision, students made and displayed 72 prints in the fall quarter which were donated to the Musselshell Valley Historical Museum. In the final quarter of the year, Sara Voise, Gina Hansen and Destiny Feherenbach decided that their spring project for the final 3 weeks of the year would be to add an additional 15 prints each to the collection. Sara added 36 on her own. Gina added another 28, and Destiny added 22. They recorded the f-stop and exposure time for each print with the negative number and roll number so that future copies can be made with less effort. Their work put the photo archiving project over halfway to completion. All the negatives are stored in acid free albums and archived correctly.
Each student also researched and wrote papers. As part of the "Mischief on the Musselshell" project, class members researched nine murders that occurred between 1911and 1935. They used court records and old newspaper accounts to do the research. They discovered that newspaper accounts did not always jibe with the court records. They also found that complete transcripts of the cases usually did not exist. One case had a record of witness testimony, but it was written in shorthand. They have not yet found anyone who can translate it.
Twenty students in the English II class also contributed to the heritage project. They began with a reading of Ivan Doigs English Creek for background history of the area. Learners then interviewed family members to learn the stories of when family members first arrived in the Musselshell Valley. Some of these stories went back five generations while others had occurred very recently.
Learners also brought family artifacts to class and wrote 75-word labels identifying their origin, history and family significance. Over 100 artifacts were prepared and a temporary museum was created. The class invited the third and fourth grade students along with their parents and grandparents to this museum. Fourth graders had been doing a family history project, and they were invited to display their work as well. Fifteen tables of displays were set up.
At the end of the unit, Tim Schaff observed that "Heritage work is full of rewards and surprises. But it also has its frustrations, and it can take tremendous amounts of time in and out of class, adding a lot of stress to a teachers life."
Fifteen learners in Tony Gies photography class picked five historic barns from the surrounding area to document. Photographers shot each barn from five angles. They also shot the interior, drew the floor plan, and researched the building dates and who the original builders were when possible. The Simms barn in Ryegate, which now belongs to Jess Garfield, was the most fully documented.
This barn was placed on the National Register of historic places by Mr. Garfield and his wife. They were extremely knowledgeable about all the buildings on their place. Jess has also lived his entire life in Ryegate, and is a third generation Golden Valley County resident. He was very willing to share his research. He didnt communicate much when the tape recorder was on but whenever it was off he shared a wealth of information.
The materials created as part of the heritage project will be archived locally at the Musselshell Valley Museum as well as at the Montana Historical Society in Helena.To print a final report for the year-end binder, click here.

I'm not an ice fisher...
but things have gotten a bit slow in here lately so figured I'd post a pic of a rainbow I caught this past summer on Eleven Mile. 20 incher that I should have weighed as this one was CHUNKY. I'm guessing around 4 lbs, give or take a bit. Caught it in July so now eggs involved.
It ain't the size of the gun but the placement of the bullet.

Back in the early 1980's, John and Ann Ellis, both in their mid-30's and with two small children, decided to take a giant leap of faith and establish their own winery – Hanging Rock Winery in the Macedon Ranges. John discovered the viability of the region for quality wines when he was chief winemaker at Tisdall Winery near Echuca and had spent many hours travelling to what became known as the Heathcote Wine Region. They started their venture by leasing a small vineyard. The wine released in 1987 was an instant success winning a swag of awards. Unfortunately, due to deforestation and rising salinity, this winery became unviable, so they planted their own vineyard in partnership with close friend Athol Guy of the Seekers fame. This vineyard, which John and Ann later bought from Athol, came to be known as "Athol's Paddock". The first vintage from Athol's Paddock was in 1997 and won the trophy for the Best Shiraz at the Victorian Wine Show – not bad for it first showing.
These days John and Ann's son Robert is the Chief Winemaker at Hanging Rock. Having literally grown up in the winery, Rob has a deep understanding of the Heathcote vineyard and the impact of the variance of the seasons over the years. Rob is passionate about the possibilities of the vineyard and is constantly pushing the boundaries. Along with his accomplished team he has been working towards sustainable, dry land grape growing practices. In the thirty years since Hanging Rock Winery began, the area planted under vine has gone from tens of acres to tens of thousands of acres. The rewards of a thriving and supportive community can be shared with a good mix of smaller, artisan winemakers and larger producers, making the Heathcote Wine region a seriously successful one. To celebrate this milestone, a number of events will be held throughout the year.

The direct descendent of the Little Furry Oscillators albeit with less fur. Sorry about that. We ran out of fur – or rather, the fur was left behind in Costa Rica when we moved to Baltimore. Not to say that we won't have more fur in the future, but the massive pile we had access to is currently in storage, awaiting retrieval on a supply run that has yet to happen. Somehow, not too long ago, I managed to do a lot of international travel on relatively little income. Throw a job and an apartment and responsibilities and whatnot in the way and we're lucky if we can make it out to Rehoboth. Hoping to change that. But enough about me – here's our new thing, as described via cutting and pasting the Little Furry Oscillator and updating where needed. Because it's late and my creative juices are waning.
Eyecillators. Eye + Oscillator. Clever right? Once again designed for those seeking playa accessories, corporate holiday stocking stuffers, harajuku harsh noise and possibly even serious musicians. A guaranteed 2.5 minutes of sheer multi-sensory delight awaits you upon sampling said critter – after that, you'll have to get creative, which, I guess is kind of the point. We used to make these covered with fur and it confused people. So we nixed the fur and added a control voltage output for modular-synth tweakery which seems to be all the rage these days.
Once again, it's a 3-oscillator, cascaded NAND opto-synth with controls over pitch and voltage sag. Combine these two variables together in a modified Northeastern gamer grip and go to town – I'm sure they'd love to hear your bird-songs outside the Cold Stone on 2nd and C. Or the mall. Those are ironically hip again, right?
Per our usual approach, all sales will be handled through Etsy and Reverb as well as at live performances of those under the VauxFlores banner to allow us to keep better track of our inventories and promote an air of exclusivity and whatnot. If you have a minute, head on over and take a look at what we have available. Or come see us live. Because that's nice, too.

St. Louis Minority Business Council, Chicago Minority Supplier Development Council and Minority B
$900,000 MBDA Grant Will Leverage Opportunities for Minority Businesses Across the St. Louis Region in Job Creation, Access to Capital and Contracts
"This strategic partnership is a great opportunity for St. Louis," said Mayor Francis Slay. "We have two organizations both devoted to furthering and expanding business reach in our region. This partnership will allow both parties to help each other with economic advancement in and around the St. Louis region."
The Chicago Minority Supplier Development Council received the $900,000 grant to operate the MBDA Business Center in St. Louis at the St. Louis Minority Business Council over the course of three years. The MBDA is tasked with assisting minority entrepreneurs and business owners with consulting services, contract and financing opportunities, bonding services, building business-to-
"MBDA is committed to the continued success of all minority-owned firms, who strengthen the economy and create American jobs," said David A. Hinson, MBDA National Director. "This new center in St. Louis will expand the number of front-line business experts we have providing strategic consulting services to minority-owned businesses to help grow both the local and the U.S. economy"
St. Louis was one of six cities selected to receive grant monies designed to boost job creation and the global competitiveness of minority-owned businesses nationwide.
"Our goals with this grant are to create and retain jobs, and award contracts to St. Louis-based minority businesses,"
The partnership will help continually develop programs in place across the region, while creating new opportunities for expanded growth.
"Partnering with the Chicago MSDC helps us to grow the reach of MBEs in St. Louis faster and create more jobs to help our region prosper, while expanding various programs," said James Webb, President and CEO of SLMBC. "These programs include our exclusive Billion Dollar Impact, a groundbreaking program which aims to connect MBEs to corporations in St. Louis to generate more than a billion dollars in additional MBE spending by July 2014."
About St. Louis Minority Business Council
During the SLMBC's 40-year history, the organization has remained at the heart of the St. Louis region's economic growth. What started as a focus on partnering minority-owned businesses with area corporations has evolved into a long-term, strategic approach – one in which SLMBC provides ongoing growth opportunities, financial support, and training and education for its corporate members and Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs). Through these and other efforts, St. Louis MBC's partnerships with corporations and MBEs have become an integral part of the region's economic stability and growth.

Iris and fingerprint scans should be used to pay for rail tickets, industry plan suggests
Fingerprints or iris scans could be used by rail passengers in the future to pay for their tickets, according to the industry's plan for coping with growing demand.
Biometric technology would enable fares to be automatically charged, the Rail Delivery Group (RDG) said.
The organisation, representing train operators and Network Rail, claimed such a system could follow on from the use of smartphones' Bluetooth signals to open station barriers, which will be trialled on Chiltern Railways' route between London Marylebone and Oxford Parkway over the coming months.
Facial recognition is already used at some UK airports to speed up the border control process.
More than 200 research, design and technology projects have been identified to help the railway serve more passengers and boost customer service.
Some 1.69 billion passenger journeys were made on Britain's railways in 2015/16, compared with 735 million in 1994/95, Office of Rail and Road figures show.
Launching the RDG's Capability Delivery Plan, chief executive Paul Plummer said the network is "increasingly full" and steps must be taken to consider "the solutions of tomorrow".
He went on: "This blueprint sets out how we can harness digital technology to make journeys better for passengers and freight customers on a railway that's simpler and easier to use."
The document sets out how new seat designs could be incorporated into existing rolling stock within a year.
One version is expected to allow up to 30 per cent more seats in a single carriage, allowing passengers to sit in a more upright position and increase standing space on busy commuter services.
Another design features seats which can be folded during peak times to allow more passengers to travel in a smaller area.
The RDG also said the use of digital signalling technology will allow trains to operate closer together, providing more frequent services and cutting delays.
In November the Treasury committed £450m towards trialling such a system.
Plummer added: "A 21st century railway offers opportunities for businesses to grow by bringing more technology to the railway more quickly. Everyone in the railway is working together to make this plan a success."
A pilot scheme to overhaul Britain's rail fares was announced last week to make it easier for passengers to buy the lowest-priced tickets.
Some fares for long, connecting journeys will be abolished as cheaper alternatives exist, in a bid to negate the need for split ticketing to save money.
Single leg pricing will be introduced for some journeys to make it simpler for passengers to know if they would be better off buying two single tickets or a return.
There are also measures to make ticket vending machines more user-friendly.

A continuously updated list of liquor stores and bars to buy Pappy Van Winkle, the #1 bourbon
Thursday, January 5, 2017
Pappy Van Winkle appears briefly in Utah
The Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control said the bourbon was sent to stores in Ogden, Cottonwood Heights, St. George, Riverton, Salt Lake City and Provo.
"We didn't get all that much," DABC spokesman Terry Wood said.
Pappy Van Winkle is made in limited batches, and a quirk of Utah's liquor laws means that people here get it for much less than other states. Where a bottle can sell for hundreds of dollars outside Utah, our liquor laws mandate cost plus 86% markup. A 20-year batch bottle can sell for about $160 here. In contrast, some bars charge up to $100 for a shot of the stuff.
It's unknown when Buffalo Trace, the distiller that makes Pappy Van Winkle, will send another shipment. To avoid long lines and a mad scramble, Wood said the DABC may look at other ways of getting it to customers.
"We may try to go to some kind of lottery system next year," he said.

BOSTON (AP) — Lemi Berhanu Hayle of Ethiopia has won the Boston Marathon in an unofficial time of 2 hours, 12 minutes, 45 seconds.
The 21-year-old pulled away from defending champion Lelisa Desisa as they crossed the Mass Pike heading into Kenmore Square. He won by 47 seconds.
The victory completed Ethiopia's first-ever sweep of the men's and women's races in Boston.
It was Hayle's first major marathon victory. He has run four smaller marathons since 2014, winning three and finishing second in Dubai in January.
Desisa finished 47 seconds back, in second place, and Ethiopian Yemane Adhane Tsegay was third to complete a sweep of the podium.
Atsede Baysa of Ethiopia won the women's race.
The 29-year-old, two-time Chicago Marathon winner came from 37 seconds behind with less than five miles to go and passed fellow Ethiopian Tirfi Tsegaye with two miles left.
Baysa finished in an unofficial time of 2 hours, 29 minutes, 19 seconds. Tsegaye was 44 seconds back.
Defending women's champion Carolina Rotich dropped out in the first five miles.
Tatyana McFadden won the women's wheelchair race. It was her fourth victory in a row.
McFadden completed the 26.2-mile course from Hopkinton to Copley Square in an official time of 1 hour, 42 minutes, 16 seconds. That is 8:10 behind the record pace because of a headwind.
McFadden was born in Russia and adopted by an American woman as a small child. She was wearing a singlet honoring Martin Richard, the 8-year-old boy killed in the 2013 finish line bombings.
Switzerland's Marcel Hugwon his second straight men's wheelchair title.
Hug crossed the finish line in 1 hour, 24 minutes and 1 second, which was just 5:36 off the course and world record. The 30-year-old edged second place Ernst Van Dyk, of South Africa, and Australian Kurt Fearnley, who was third.
The top three finished within a second of each other. Hug overtook the 10-time champion Van Dyk in the final turn off Boylston Street and outsprinted Van Dyk and Fearnley to the line.
Hug's time was nearly five minutes faster than his 2015 win.

Fletcher Building's corporate website required an integrated story that connects its many businesses, countries, brand products and projects.
One of many challenges was to keep the site shallow and simple while doing justice to the richness and depth of the business.
The Brief
When you are as big and diverse as the Fletcher Building (FB) Group, the challenge is to present an integrated story that connects the many businesses, countries, brands, products and projects. Our website brief was to showcase the huge difference FB is making to the communities it works in, its people and their careers and for its shareholders.
The Solution
We started by developing personas, giving us total clarity on our audiences and defining specific user journeys for each. An audience-needs driven information architecture was developed to keep the site shallow, allowing most content to be within two clicks of home.
Storytelling starts on the home page, offering a cross-business perspective before driving audiences into business line, and/or specific business discipline stories. An extensive tagging exercise allows associate content to be presented, helping audiences make connections across the business, projects and communities.
Despite the many business activities, one of the key challenges for our client's communication team is having timely access to good content. We introduced and integrated Shuttlerock, a content gathering and curation platform, providing content managers access to an on-going stream of the latest stories directly from the websites of the various FB businesses, social media and online news.
The design reinforces the brand story, using a variety of colour, language, photography, animation and infographic approaches to engage audiences. The design also reflects the content rich nature of the site, presenting a visual feast of FB stories in a Pinterest-board styled approach.
The results
The site has only been live for a short time but already it has become the source for everything happening at FB. Dynamic content is encouraging audiences to stay longer, engage with more pages and come back more often than the previous FB site.

Within a Transvestriarchal context, we can began to understand the publicly prominent surge of Lesbianism. It could very well be a desperate attempt to seek out women for companions since the feminist movement has done a poor job in teaching men to be like women.
So ed says to all men out there with elongated clitorises, or women with non-elongated penises, it's time to afford the feminist movement a major rethink.
Yes. I'm finally 'coming out'. I'm 'gay', or specifically, Lesbian.
Whilst some might put down the increase, or at least, prominent preponderance of lesbians to genetics, freedom of choice, and so on, and whilst I would not disagree too much with these causes, I also put it down to a reaction emerging from the failure of the Feminist movement – which I deem to be, in part, a movement headed by women in drag.
Firstly, I bemoan how the Feminist movement traded its femininity for inclusion. I am all for voting rights, equality and et cetera. But when it was implied that I was a male chauvinist for not thinking it appropriate for women to swear, downing as many pints as their Neanderthal halves, and being as sexually promiscuous as men, amongst others, I ejaculated with an, 'Oi! The rights of women ought not to be focused on how they can be like men, but how men ought to be taught to be like women.' In efforts to show that we can be as good as another under discriminatory conditions, it frequently amounts to us having to prove that we can be better than the bigots. In the case of gaining equality with men, that amounts to being worse than them doesn't it? You see, in the quest for inclusion, we must be sceptical about what we are hoping to be included in. For instance, to be included in a patriarchal system is to seek to paradoxically embrace the bigoted ethos that founds such a system whilst compromising one specific sex-based manifestation of bigotry. That serves less to eradicate an evil as opposed to refining it via our incorporation into it. The overarching system of bigotry, be it based on nationalist, capitalist, cultural, etc, sentiments is maintained. And henceforth, women end up becoming as bad as men with an expanded source of exploitation – women.
For instance, the 'girl power' movement with its Madonnas and Spice Girls is basically a masculine movement in drag as it reduces everyone to their arrogant and sexual denominator. And isn't the arrogance the means by which women were reduced to mere sexual and reproductive properties in an allegedly patriarchal 'past'? Except, in the present, it is women whom are taking the helm in the presentation and reduction of their own sex. So, its not 'exploitation' anymore because we are confidently 'booty-bouncing' in the face of men whom have no legal and traditional right to do as they wish with us women. And now it is women critiquing the physical attributes of men and their related prowess – signalling that men have largely been reduced to a 'thing' for their use by women incorporated into a transvestriarchal scheme of things (with women being women in form but having penile in perspective). In essence, and in this, amongst others, may be found the evidence of the feminist movement's subversion by the male-within the woman, and which is simultaneously a corollary of the feminist movement having unwittingly sought incorporation as opposed to egalitarian appreciation of their historically developed empathetic traits. In other words, women appealed to common empathy so that they might be included in a generic and apathetic male scheme of things – and which ed officially terms as a transvestriarchal society.
So with the increasing success of this movement, phrases such as 'my (female) boss is such a bitch!', 'that bitch is so arrogant and full of herself', 'that woman is such a bitch on road', 'that women is such a slapper/slag/whore/etc', take its meaning. When a man says that, it is a simple attempt to distinguish and exonerate men when they engage in such behaviour, and an attempt to claim a monopoly over the traditional and patriarchal right to be a 'bitch'. One has to be a women and exhibit male traits in order to qualify to be 'bitch'. Thus is how the traditional male right to such traits is claimed. But what does the 'bitch' of a woman evidence about the 'modern woman' and the feminist movement as a whole?
Within a Transvestriarchal society, we can began to understand the publicly prominent surge of Lesbianism. It could very well be a desperate attempt to seek out women for companions since the feminist movement has done a poor job in teaching men to be like women. And how do we make sense of their homosexual male counterparts in this scenario? Perhaps, these are men whom might be quite high in feminine traits – subtracting the population in male prisons where the motivation might be 'dominance' in the face of the 'weak', and the later of whom therefore take the role of the traditional 'woman'…and which therefore, and essentially, is 'heterosexual' – and hence do not seek out relationships with masculinised women, or lesbians, and hence turn to other homosexual men. Hence, much of this 'gay' thing might very well be a reaction against reactions against the consequences of a feminist movement gone awry.
So, perhaps, the lesbian and the male homosexual, as a totality, serves as the last bastion of womanhood given that feminine traits have been compromised in a world where women are seeking to be like men. Of course, people would like to think that they choose to be with other people as a matter of choice so as to avail themselves of the feel-good kick that comes with the illusion that we are moved by our own volition. And hence, they would not consider that given a feminist movement gone right in the past, their motivational constitution might very well be quite different. I'm not saying that the 'gay' movement is flawed. All I'm saying is that our choices aren't being made under conditions brought about by the maximal feminine development of the 'feminist' movement. It is this that leads me to deem many female-male relationships as 'homosexual'.
In this, also, the idea of the 'feminist movement' has been monopolised by its being a movement for women. And some men, whom have maintained their sexual heterosexuality, have learnt to become women in heterosexual relationships. Except that in this sense, they have just become another manifestation of the weaker side in a game of dominance over the weak – quite pronounced in societies where men have the additional masculinity-compromising disadvantage of having been thumbed-down in the political arena as well,i.e, some Chinese societies are good examples of this. As they can't head a feminist movement by virtue of their being men, the historically patriarchal idea of dominance is maintained by a collusion between domineering/successful men, and women in drag. At best, if female traits are included in practice, it is twisted to go well with the male domineering and bigoted ethos. Hence, we see women become domineering 'mothers', 'Iron Ladies' and 'bitches', as opposed to empathetic ones in a socio-economic system that subjects empathy to the profit and power motive. In this, we see the final subjection of women to the male ethos by their being possessed by it as evidenced by 'girl power', which is synonymous with women occupying the previously male-occupied and top-down oppressive acropolis as opposed to tearing it down; women being presented as 'Samurai Girls' and kick-ass Angels; 'Iron Ladies' whom are as apathetically strong-willed as men; and so on an so forth.
It is within such a context that ed can come across as a male chauvinist for frowning upon women for exhibiting male traits.
So ed says to all men out there with elongated clitorises, or women with non-elongated penises, it's time to afford the feminist movement a major rethink.

One of my favourite things about hosting The Prediction over here at Phlambler's World is the supportive nature of everyone towards each other. I wondered if there was any way in which we could take this even further and had a thought.
Everyone here has such a variety of skills and talents. It occurred to me that maybe we could trade these skills and talents with each other. No money you understand, skill for skill, talent for talent. You want someone to proofread your novel, offer up your skills at doing some design work on their author website. You want some advice on how to self-publish on Kindle, offer up some advice on story plotting.
So, in the comments boxes below, place what you would like someone to do for you and what you have to offer in exchange. Or if you just fancy helping someone out for gratis then just put an offer in as I'm sure people would appreciate it. Or make up your own rules for how to do this. I'll leave you all to work out how you want to exchange any contact details but would advise not posting directly below any information you do not want in the public domain.
Hopefully this will work well but I'm just going to leave this to grow organically rather than force it.

Great idea Phil. I'd be happy to offer a preliminary (and not guaranteed to be 100% but ...) reading of posts for basic errors and would certainly be willing to try my hand at designing covers. Not a website though.ReplyDelete
Proof reading is offered, nothing wanted in exchange other than peace, quiet, cooperative spirits, cooperative technology, an instant cure for migraines... aside from that, yes, I'll proof your stories for you!ReplyDelete
Phil, this is a wonderful idea.

About Our Church
We will welcome Pastor Joshua Bae and his family during a special joint worship service on Sabbath, September 9, 2017, at 11 a.m. In preparation, we asked him a few questions so that we could get to know him.
Pastor Bae, tell us a little about your early years:
I was born into a newly converted Adventist family in Korea. My mother comes from a large family. They are all Adventist, and are serving various roles in their local churches in Korea. My maternal grandfather, a minister of a Sunday keeping church in Korea, received the Adventist message and led the entire family to the Adventist faith. All of my father's side of the family are Buddhist, except for my father who is SDA.
How did you decide to become a pastor?
I attended Adventist schools all of my life. My mother always wanted me to become a pastor, but I thought my talents and gifts were not in ministry; however, God brought me back to ministry each time I headed in a different direction.
How did you meet your wife?
I met my wife, Jasmine, while teaching in Guri, Korea. The school had a church next door where all of my coworkers attended. Among the group, Jasmine, shined so I asked her out. It was the best decision I ever made. I believe God put me there in that school to introduce me to her so we could be coworkers in ministry.
How has God lead you in ministry?
Upon completion of the Master of Divinity degree from Andrews University Theological Seminary in May 2012, Jasmine and I had no idea where God was going to lead us. Without connections in the USA, and with all of our relatives living in Korea, we were unsure of our future. Through the right people and lots of prayer, we were led to Southeastern California Conference in Riverside, CA.
Jasmine and I have been serving at the Riverside Korean Church in English ministry for the past five years, and my ordination at the Riverside Korean Church earlier this summer was a milestone we celebrated in our ministry.
How many kids do you have?
We have two beautiful children, JJ (10) and Ashley (7). We are so thankful for them.
How do you prefer we address you?
Please call me Pastor Joshua or Pastor Bae.
What is your career background and Work Accomplishments?
I have worked as an English teacher in Korea teaching adult classes and children's programs for five years where I met my wife Jasmine. Then my wife and I decided it was our calling to do ministry and we moved to Andrews University so I could complete the Master of Divinity program. I pastored at Staten Island Korean SDAChurch in New York as a youth pastor for a year as my internship. I also worked as a part-time youth pastor at Schaumburg Korean SDA Church in Chicago for two years while I was attending Andrews University. After finishing Andrews, my wife and I received a call from Riverside Korean SDA Church as a full-time pastor for the English Ministry, and we've been working there for the past five years and three months before accepting the call from the San Diego Central SDA Church.
Hobbies and interests?
Photography is my hobby. I picked up this hobby in high school, and I still love it to this day. I enjoy shooting weddings, engagements, baby photos, astrophotography and others.
A little more about your family?
We are the only ones here in the States and my relatives as well as my wife's are all in Korea. We love hiking and traveling.
Mission, vision, values?
My vision and mission is to support the vision and mission of the church. So the goals and visions of the church will be mine, as well. For example, English Ministry mission at our previous church was to focus on the family ministry, children's ministry and campus ministry. So I worked on those. I am looking forward to working with SDC.
Why did you accept the call to come be our pastor?
God's calling is the only reason why we decided to accept the call. We felt that it was God leading us to SDC after much prayer. So we believe there much be some work God wants us to do here.
How you want to start working with our church?
I will listen to what the church members want to do before starting the work. I will talk with people to find the needed work.

What is foster care?
Foster care is a frequent response to children and young people who are unable to live with their own families.
As a foster carer, you provide out-of-home care for children and young people in need, offering a safe and secure environment for as long as the child needs.
Often children can be reunited with their families or parents as circumstances change, so foster carers help to assist with the care of the child until this can be achieved. In other cases, some children and young people will remain in foster care until they reach the legal, independent age of 18.
Foster care can range from a weekend, months or years depending on the circumstances of the child and your own preference in providing care. However no matter what the length of time is, the positive impact you can have in a child or young person's life is immeasurable.
Steps to becoming a foster carer
Download a factsheet to read more about the steps in becoming a foster carer.
Who can apply to SAY YES to foster care?
Foster carers and their families are everyday people who volunteer their time and homes to assist in supporting vulnerable children.
You must be:
- 18 years and above
- An Australian citizen or permanent resident
- Eligible to hold a blue card (Working with Children check).
You can be:
- Single, married, de facto or in a same sex relationship
- Renting, buying or own your home
- Working or not working
- From any culture or with a diverse range of life experiences
- A parent, or someone who has a strong interest in helping children and young people
Flexible in age, as long as you have the health, energy, and enthusiasm to foster.
Types of foster care
Children and their families have different needs and come from many different situations. UnitingCare Queenslandworks with foster carers to ensure children and carers have a match for the type of care which works best for them.
Short-term care
Carers provide 24-hour, ongoing, day-to-day care for children for up to two years, while Child Safety work towards reunifying the child with their family. During this time, the carers are actively working with the child, the foster care team and Child Safety to progress the goal of safely returning the child to their family.
Long-term care
Carers commit to providing a safe and stable home with the ongoing care of a child up to 18 years of age.
Intensive care
This involves becoming a carer for a child with complex needs, including medical, behavioural, mental health and disabilities. These carers receive additional training and support from UnitingCare Queensland to help meet the needs of the children.
Short break care
Carers assist other foster carers who are supporting a child 24-hours but require some time away from caring. Carers providing short break care to a child are able to choose when they can provide care, for example on weekends or holiday periods.
Emergency care
Carers are available to provide short-term care at short notice for children who urgently need a place to stay.
Kinship care
Relatives are the preferred resource for children who are unable to live at home with their natural parents or families. Kinship carers are therefore a child's relative or someone from their close community who take on the carer role. Kinship care enables the child to remain with their extended family or community, maintaining the child's connection with their family and strengthening those bonds.
Relatives or close community members may be approached for kinship care, or alternatively they can express their interest in providing care for a child that is already in foster care.
Becoming a kinship carer is a significant decision for any family. Being a kinship carer presents specific challenges including needing to redefine what your role is within the family unit, having to defer decision making to Child Safety, possibly having to say "no" to someone close to you due to restrictions based on court orders and sometimes the children's parents will not be happy that you are caring for their children.
Key benefits and rewards
Becoming a foster carer can be very rewarding. Here are some of the things you may experience while on your journey to changing the life of a child:
- Developing a new and valued relationship
- Providing a safe home for a child
- Using your skills and life experiences for the benefit of others
- Helping children to reach their full potential
- Helping parents to develop new ways of relating to their children
- Enhancing your own skills and knowledge
- Expanding your social and personal contacts
- Enriching your life.
Experienced carers say the rewards far outweigh the challenges, and are most often found in the day-to-day moments that they experience through sharing their lives with children.
