International Babywearing Awareness 2015 is celebrated Oct 4th - 10th. Baby carriers of various description have been around for thousands of years. Over time people the Modern Western World has come to view Babywearing as some strange way to take your child along with you. It has even been said to be something that only lower income parents do as with the invention of strollers only those with the most money could afford them. America is changing though. Parents and caregivers are starting to work their way back causing babywearing among other natural parenting ideas to gain in popularity once again. How you carry your baby and the type of carrier used varies in every country. In some cultures/tribes babywearing is simply a necessity so the type of carrier one uses can be decided upon based on the carrier's job or the climate where they live.
Babywearing promotes bonding, supports breastfeeding, can help combat postpartum depression, makes caregiving easier, and can be a lifesaver for parents of high-needs children. Carried babies sleep, feed, and grow better. One study found that carried 6-week-olds cried 43% less than other children.
As the mother of a NICU baby myself I understand the importance of keeping our little ones close. With a carrier you can give your little one the benefits of Kangaroo Care and still take care of what you need to once you leave the hospital and return home.

I recently had babywearing sessions with a few local moms. Even here in our small community babywearing is making a comeback!
Brittany Lindsay is a beautiful mom of 3.
Brittany said
"After I had my third hands free sounded better than ever "
Brittany talked about how she started out with the concept that being hands free would be perfect.
She tried carrying with her oldest child and found the one she tried was not too comfortable for her so she
threw in the towel. After some time and experience she said
" It is so nice to get to snuggle with him even when my hands are busy.
I really wish I had tried different carriers with my first and
not just assumed that none would work just because the first I tried didn't"
Brandy has chosen what is called a SSC or Soft Structured Carrier.
There is something out there for everyone. There are many different brands
and many different price ranges. The options are becoming endless
allowing all caregivers to have this amazing experience.
I love seeing the bond between mother and child. There is nothing else like it!
Medical professionals agree that infants thrive through touch; "wearing" your baby is another way to meet this need. The benefits of babywearing don't end there … babywearing offers many other advantages, one of which includes:
Confident Parents. A large part of feeling confident as a parent is the ability to read our babies' cues successfully. Holding our babies close in a sling allows us to become finely attuned to their movements, gestures, and facial expressions. Every time a baby is able to let us know that she is hungry, bored, or wet without having to cry, her trust in us is increased, her learning is enhanced, and our own confidence is reinforced. This cycle of positive interaction deepens the mutual attachment between parent and child, and is especially beneficial for mothers who are at risk for or suffering from postpartum depression.

4 – Tessier R, M Cristo, S Velez, M Giron, JG Ruiz-Palaez, Y Charpak and N Charpak. (1998) Kangaroo mother care and the bonding hypothesis. Pediatrics 102:e17.
Brandy Flatford is the mother of sweet Isabella
For Brandy babywearing was all about finding what worked for her best.
Being petite she said
"I knew that although she wanted to carry her sweet
baby with her wherever she went that toting the care seat everywhere
was not going to work for me."
Through trying different things she has found that
baby wrapping works best for her. Its lovely to see the interaction between
mother and daughter as if nobody else were around. Their bond is beautiful!
Babywearing also benefits nursing mothers. No matter where they are it allows
mom to feed her baby with the amount of security and discrestion that suits her
and whenever her baby is in need. Nursing, for most, is every 2 hours in the beginning.
Knowing you can care for your child and still take care of older children and/or
other tasks on your to-do list makes it a huge plus!
Medical professionals agree that infants thrive through touch; "wearing" your baby is another way to meet this need. The benefits of babywearing don't end there … babywearing offers many other advantages, some of which include:
Healthy Babies. Premature babies and babies with special needs often enter the world with fragile nervous systems. When a baby rides in a sling attached to his mother, he is in tune with the rhythm of her breathing, the sound of her heartbeat, and the movements his mother makes—walking, bending, and reaching. This stimulation helps him to regulate his own physical responses. Research has even shown that premature babies who are touched and held gain weight faster and are healthier than babies who are not.

Sword and Bored: Hide helmet
One of the first concepts for the comic strip that we had was this particular comic. It was just an idea at the a time of something that would be funny to happen to Mo, but there wasn't an arc to put it in.
Now the concept that we created way back in Update #15 for the Kickstarter is now a fleshed out comic. It's interesting to look at the differences between then and now and how Mo has changed.
Without further ado, here's this week's comic…

Not really interested in yet *another* cookie cutter fantasy game? Well, clash bowley may just have a solution for that, with Volant: Kingdoms of Air and Stone.
|Do flying cities and giant bird mounts interest you?
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW: Volant is available at RPGNow for $12.00. This review is of the PDF version, provided by the publisher for review purposes. Purchases made through the affiliate link I provided do provide this site with store credit at OneBookShelf.
That stuff out of the way, what IS Volant? Volant is a fantasy RPG set in a world after a magical catastrophe has sucked all the magic out of humanity and placed it into the stones, causing mountains to fly above the world. This is where the bulk of humanity now lives, traveling via giant birds and airships. Down on the blasted surface are the more primitive members of humanity, as well as the monsters moving across the surface. Magical effects as still possible, via Alchemy (as the opening fiction nearly explains in a nice and tidy piece).
Players of other games by clash will recognize a lot of what's here on the structural level. For instance, the first thing you do is create the association your PCs belong to. They can be a religious sect, a group of assassins, treasure hunters, knights, military, mercenaries…whatever. Just as long as they belong to the same group, giving them a reason to share goals at the beginning of the game. The group has starting capital with which to purchase a headquarters, assets and so on, as is relevant to their association's purpose.
Once the association is complete, then comes character generation. You pick a starting age, and the older you are, the more skills and experience you have…but as you get older, your attributes decrease. You have six attributes, assigned either an array of scores or determined by a pool of 45 points. PCs have a number of Template Points based off of their age to chart their professional development. The first two templates (Background and Apprenticeship) are free, the rest have point costs based on the benefits provided. You might have been a Street Rat who was taken in as an Apprentice Scholar. From there, they have become a budding Alchemist and so on. Each step gives skills and perks, based on your professional choices.
Several handy template tree charts are provided to guide one through the common career paths.
Characters are further defined by Traits, which are a mechanical definition of a character's personality. If a trait is relevant to an action, you can use it to add points to your skill roll, while traits that would impact your action negatively can be used to gain points back. Edges are kind of like Traits, but not necessarily linked to personality.
Characters also gain Maneuvers, which are impressive tricks that they can utilize in gameplay, both in and out of combat. Shield Maneuvers let you stun the opponent with a quick shield strike. Sword maneuvers let you take small penalties on your attack roll, saving them up for one massive hit a few rounds later. Staff maneuvers allow you to do things like pole vault over the opponent for a free attack. Team maneuvers can let you apply "shock and awe" tactics to the opponent. You get the idea. While most of the maneuvers are combat-focused, there are a few social maneuvers as well. A lack of aerial-focused maneuvers seemed like an oversight, given the setting, though many of these maneuvers will be usable in the air as well as on the ground. I also couldn't pin down whether or not a turn and a round are used interchangeably, but if not, then two of the pole fighting maneuvers have the issue of one being noticeably better than the other, for the same cost.
The StarCluster system has evolved in an interesting manner, as you can take the same basic stats and set-up, but choose your resolution mechanic from StarNova (the grittier option), StarZero (which produces more average results), StarPool (which has powered most of the StarCluster games I've reviewed) and StarWorm (which has more player negotiation, stake setting, that kind of thing). StarPool and StarWorm use d20 pools, while StarZero uses a d6-d6 (ala ICONS), and StarNova uses exploding d6s. With four different, varying, resolution mechanics, you have a lot of room to play around and find your comfort zone.
The equipment chapter has several tables for modifiers for weapon craftsmanship and materials which is neat…but doesn't seem to have an impact other than cost. There is a section talking about station and how "clothes make the man", so one can assume it also applies to weapons, but it does seem off to put that detail in there without any real follow-up.
The Alchemy section is simple but cool, with different ingredients giving you different Edges. This includes both plants (Cold Root giving you Ice and Cool Edges, or Lion Weed giving you Courage and Hope Edges) and Creatures (like Spider-Kin Venom giving Climb and Still Edges).
The Skylands creation chapter is similarly impressive, with lots of charts (with random roll distributions) to guide you in the creation of Skylands, from their government structure to the resources they produce and an optional set of charts to create a caste system if you choose.
Religion is also similarly defined by the GM. The game makes no assumptions regarding the number of deities or how they react to their followers.
Airships and birds are a big deal, each with their own creation section. My favorite of the two is the bird creation, as you can select their best senses, their reaction to aggression, their intelligence and so on. And, well, the idea of playing a guy riding around on a giant bird just sounds awesome to me.
With the Aerial Combat chapter, I think I can see why Aerial Maneuvers weren't present earlier on, as there's already a TON of options to keep track of, tactics-wise, when birds are fighting in the air. Generally, the riders are trying to get behind their opponents, and one need not necessarily kill their opponent or its mount, as birds face severe consequences from failing Vigor rolls in combat.
The chapter on the surface world follows the pattern of the rest of the book, giving you tools and options to create your surface world, rather than telling you just how it is. Wizard ruins on the surface often still have ambient energy that can warp and transform seeds or eggs, which some individuals will pay a pretty penny for.
There is no bestiary, per se, but there is another set of charts that one can use to construct their own.
The book does provide examples of character creation, monster creation, religion creation, nation creation, airship creation and so on. An aerial combat cheat sheet/picture guide and an index round out the book (although, oddly, the page numbers for the index are 1-6, despite being at the back of the book).
WHAT WORKS: I love the setting concept. I love the idea of playing an adventurer riding around on a giant bird. It's just cool. I really appreciate all of the tools provided to make Volant your own, right down to the resolution mechanic used. All of the various examples at the back of the book are certainly appreciated, and the maneuvers are a cool feature to provide mechanical support for more versatile combat.
WHAT DOESN'T WORK: The extra cost tables on weapon creation just seem out of place because, unless I missed it, there is no real benefit to paying more for better quality weapons…so why would you? As much as I love tools and random charts, I do also like having ready-made material to work with, so I would have appreciated a larger bestiary.
CONCLUSION: This one "sings" to me more than clash's other games do, because of the fantasy element over the alternate history element. That and it's just overloaded with cool factor. Also, I can't NOT love this many random charts in one book. This is definitely not your average fantasy game. There's no dwarves, elves, gnomes or halflings, or orcs, goblins and drow here. That said, if you're wanting something you can just jump right into and run, that's not going to work unless you're adept at running with the random results. That's not a knock on the game, just an observation. My favorite iteration of StarCluster yet.

The Scenery
The Great Glen traverses the North of Scotland, passing through glorious Highland scenery between Fort William and Inverness.
The Caledonian Canal follows this geological fault, linking Corpach, near Fort William on the West Coast, with Inverness, 65 miles away on the East coast.
We cruise these waters amidst the spectacular backdrop of mountainous Highland scenery including the imposing sight of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the UK.
There is something here for everyone, from those keen just to enjoy a cruise in wonderful scenery, to others who like wildlife or outdoor sports. There are mountains galore, off beat tracks and towpaths for walking and mountain biking, quiet canal reaches and rivers for canoeing, shallow bays for wild swimming or woodland walks and castles to visit. For the more adventurous there are more challenging stretches of open water for longer trips by sailing dinghy or canoe.
The Canal was surveyed in 1802 by Thomas Telford and built between 1803 and 1822, linking the waters of Loch Lochy, Loch Oich, the famous Loch Ness and Loch Dochfour. These freshwater lochs make up 38 miles of the waterway leaving just 22 miles of manmade canals. The result is a coast to coast waterway with a beauty and interest unparalleled in Britain.

The key to keeping it usable is organization. You have to keep it organized and stay on top of it. One of the best things you can do is limit the number of top level folders you have since it's harder to prevent users from creating them like they do files :) Replication limitations and common sense are your best guides.

First off let me begin by telling you how much I love this little one's name, Eli.
Jaime got in contact with me soon after Eli was born to schedule a session, he and his family came to my home studio from Springfield NJ for his newborn session when he was 16 days old. He was such a sweet boy, I immediately fell in love with his blond hair, brows and lashes and oh those eyes. He has a big sister named Avery, Jaime was concerned she would not cooperate since toddlers can be very unpredictable but she was so sweet and fun and she lover her little brother so much.
We started off by photographing Eli and Avery first since she was in a good mood and we had fun playing and laughing while we were taking the photos. It didn't even feel like we were taking photos just having fun. And of course I had to add a few photos of her alone in the gallery. Isn't she gorgeous?
After we were done with Eli ans Avery's photos, he fell asleep for a bit and we took his photos. Dad is a fan of the Yankees and him and mom brought this adorable prop for him to be photographed with.
Mom also brought an item from his nursery which is themed with cute little whales. I thought it was such a cute addition to his gallery and something they will look back ans cherish. He was wide awake and showing his beautiful eyes.
Then I tucked him in and he absolutely loved it. He has beautiful baby features. I was also very happy that his parents and sister wanted to be included in a few of the shots. What a beautiful family!
No crazy props, just sweet, organic, baby photos. That's what I love the most about doing what I do!

Double Slit Experiment
The only thing about Quantum Physics you really have to know is the "Double Slit Experiment"...
One potential revelation of this experience is that "the observer creates the reality."
For me there is no doubt that we (as a conscious beings) are constantly creating our (own) reality (our YOU-niverse)
..Changing a possiblity (wave of infinite possibilities/probalities) into one (your) reality (matter, particles) by observing it. Observed by something/someone with consciousness. (Observing includes looking, measuring, thinking, belief, perception, awareness, intention, attention and expectation... consciously as well as subconsciously...)
By doing this mostly subconsciously, it gives us, human beings the impression that we don't have any influence on it. If we are conscious, fully aware of our consciousness... bringing (most of) our subconscious to the conscious level.. we become conscious creators!
Some videos which are relatively easy to comprehend:

The American Heart Association's CPR and AED learning programs help increase survival rate by training people just like you to respond quickly.
The sad truth is most people don't survive a cardiac arrest. Four to six minutes is the window of opportunity for someone to act before it's too late. But fewer than one-third of cardiac arrest victims get CPR from someone nearby.
The World Health Organization states that due to the lack of an efficient emergency response system in most of Sub-Saharan Africa, the best remedy is empowerment of the people with life-saving skills.
Through dynamic training solutions, the American Heart Association prepares healthcare providers to effectively respond to life-threatening cardiac events. A variety of course options with continuing credits are available.

Just in case you haven't watched the financial news lately, everyone is up in arms about High Frequency Trading. HFT is employed by financial firms with superfast computers, who can execute stock trades much faster than retail investors. With sophisticated HFT algorithms, they can predict orders and then buy and resell shares to the retail investor at a markup. Some people call this Front-Running and others call it a Skim. Either way, I call it ripping off investors.
The Cat is Finally out of the Bag
I have been warning my readers about superfast trading since August of 2011 and again in December of 2011. But, nobody listens to a small-time blogger like me.
The book Flash Boys by Michael Lewis has created a big controversy this week and is currently the #1 Best Seller on Amazon. Lewis exposes the unfair practice of HFT and the firms who are preying on investors. He has been on a whirl wind media tour promoting the book and this has been a catalyst for many to finally call for an end to HFT. Even Jim Cramer, an unapologetic Wall Street insider, devoted a whole section of his show to rail against it.
Predictably, the financial firms profiting from HFT have viciously attacked Michael Lewis on TV and in the media. They are making easy millions and are not going to let a rogue author derail their gravy train. But, the cat is out of the bag and there is no conscionable way to defend HFT. In the past few days, I have heard and read all kinds of arguments to defend HFT, but how can they justify the outright skimming of investor's trades? They can't. These arguments are a merely a distraction from the real issues of an unfair playing field and the exploitation of investors.
Why You Should Care
You may be wondering why should you care? Maybe, you don't even invest in stocks. You should care because your 401K, pension and mutual funds do and you are getting ripped off indirectly. As if the fees and MERs aren't high enough, now there is a level of pure parasites, siphoning off your profits. Unlike the fund and 401K companies, they don't create, manage or add value to your investments. They just take a cut from the transactions, because they can. Everyone has known about High Frequency Trading for years, but no one has lifted a finger to stop it.
Around 50% of all recent trades are HFT, so this is a very large problem. With this type of volume, there is a very real potential for future Flash Crashes and other volatility problems. A rogue algorithm could create all kinds of problems for the markets. At the very least, it may discourage investors from investing in the stock market, because they perceive it is rigged. In my opinion, it is rigged.

NORTH HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Doc Johnson COO, Chad Braverman, was recently interviewed for Mr.Skin.com's Skin Central feature.
The site boasts more than 8 million visitors per month.
Braverman gave "SKINsight" into the world's largest sex toy manufacturer, discussing how he got started in the pleasure products industry, the most popular toys for male consumers, how products are tested, and even his favorite steamy scenes from movies.
The sex toy magnate also described the best part of his job and how "it continually changes and allows [Chad] to explore new ideas and concepts."
Braverman told Mr. Skin that he loves making people happy. "And in particular I enjoy being creative. I get to create new products for the company every quarter; it continually changes and allows me to explore new ideas and concepts."
He also mentioned some celebrity users of his company's products including Jenny McCarthy, Howard Stern sidekick Robin Quivers, Bethenny Frankel and Eva Langoria.
Commenting on the popularity and new acceptance of sex toys, Braverman said, "As more people start to understand that sex toys are just products, that these items will make them feel great, and that there is nothing dirty or seedy about toys, the tides continues to change. Sex toys are mainstream now."
"We appreciate Mr Skin's interest in Doc Johnson's history and in Chad on a personal level. The interview turned out to be an interesting and fun read. We hope the fans enjoy it," Doc Johnson director of marketing and public relations, Victoria Bowman-Steinour said.
The full interview can be found on Mr.Skin.com.

Even though I didn't for a while, I eventually got around to liking the Stones. It was the whole Stones vs. Beatles thing. I mean, where did anyone get off versing the Beatles, anyway?
It wasn't like you had to choose one or the other, but you usually had a clear favorite. And which one it was said a lot about you and what other things you liked. If you liked the Beatles, you liked songs, melody, harmony and production. If you liked the Stones you liked rock and roll, and flirted with the dark side.
I was vaguely aware of this dynamic at the time. I was the typical "good kid" who liked nice things. The Beatles were nice, and, as Col. Frank Burns would say, it's nice to be nice to the nice, so I liked them. The Stones were not nice, so my Catholic upbringing allowed me to like them only so much. And yet my friends –fellow Catholics - did not appear to have this problem.
So you tell me, Stones fans. What was the attraction? It was clear that the cooler kids liked the Stones. Was it the bad boy thing? Or was it simply how great the music was? Even I noticed that. Well, it was all of the above.
Although the histories of the Beatles and Stones were all jumbled up for me at the time, it appears that the Stones got the later start. And as good as they already were, their artistic and commercial breakthrough – "Satisfaction" – didn't occur until 1965, and their albums weren't generally recognized as great until 1968 or so.
But ours would remain a not-quite-love/don't-know-at-all relationship for a while. After the Beatles broke up, I was able to like the Stones more. Me and my friends immersed ourselves in "Sticky Fingers", "Exile on Main Street" and "Hot Rocks". Then I got annoyed with them all over again when they started calling themselves "the greatest rock and roll band in the world". It was bad enough that they were doing this now that the Beatles were gone, but then I caught the emcee saying it during the intro of "Get Yer Ya Yas Out" …in 1969. Sacrilege!
And then they gave me/us some valid reasons to not like them, putting out crappy albums like "Goat's Head Soap" and "It's Only Rock and Roll" (Whaddaya mean only! More Sacrilege!!), so I could safely ignore them until 1978 and "Some Girls" when I'm forced to like them all over again, over the objections of Jesse Jackson, no less. But by then, I'd loosened up a bit. (At this rate, I'll be almost cool at 90.)
Since then, there was a long slow decline I could safely ignore.
And yet, I'd keep hearing that I had somehow still missed some of their greatest music.
So I made my way back to, oh I don't know, 1966 or so. (Subliminal message: When I get "The Singles Collection: The London Years" for Father's Day, I'll be able to fill in a lot of blanks.)
But I have taken a shot here and there.
The only "pre-album appreciation" period records I have are "Now!", "Aftermath" and "Between the Buttons". The first is a good record consisting mostly of covers of rhythm and blues standards I might not have heard otherwise. I know I should like this record more than I actually do, but Mick sounds like the young British appreciater of this music rather than the master of it. The band does better, but I like them better still when they've fully come into their own.
The latter is a damned good album with hits like "Ruby Tuesday" and "Let's Spend the Night Together", and relatively obscure gems like "Connection" and "She Smiled Sweetly". The rest is not brilliant, but more than adequate.
Which is where "Aftermath" comes in. What at first glace may appear as a typical hits plus filler record, turns out to be one of the great albums of the sixties.
Yes, I know we've been through this already with the Who ("Sell Out") and the Kinks with ("Face to Face"). I'm not going that far with the Stones. After all, it's hard to make better albums than "Beggar's Banquet", "Let it Bleed", etc. But "Aftermath" is right up there. And anyway, they seem to be doing just fine without my help, thank you very much.
The singles "Paint Black", "Under My Thumb" and "Lady Jane" kick things off. Not bad, right?
And you know how they get all authentic on you when you think they're about to go soft? Out they come with the slide guitar and harmonica, and they start playing the blues. This is annoying to us superficial pop music fans, and I admit that this was my first reaction. But then I noticed that the bluesy songs ("Doncha Bother Me", "505" and the 11 minute(!) "Going Home") were being done with much greater authority, and they just kept growing on me.
And, of course, it wouldn't be a Stones record without some great obscurities, like "Think", "High and Dry", "It's Not Easy" and the brilliant "I am Waiting".
So if you're thinking about giving these multi-millionaires even more of your money, you could do a lot worse than to shell out a few bucks for this wonderful record.
Which leaves just one last question: Aftermath to what? They were just getting started.
Containing, among other things, my humble effort to bring my fellow fifty(ish) year olds up to date on some current, and frankly, not so current, pop music.

Secret History 1966: "Aftermath" – The Great Unknown Stones Album
Posted by Jaybee at 8:41 PM
Labels: Beatles, Kinks, Rolling Stones, Who
3 comments:
The US version of Aftermath is very different from the UK one -- different songs, different mix, different cover. (The US version includes the hit singles but is more than 10 minutes shorter.)

Thank you, MZ. I was checking allmusic.com for the song listings on the British release, but couldn't find it. Which record do you think is better? Should I break down and get the British version?
Thanks for the input!

STUDENT ABSENCE LINE - if you child is absent from school, please TEXT 07860 095106
We know how important it is to our parents to know what is happening at school. Being able to find the information you need quickly and easily, as well as knowing how best to contact the school when you have a question or concern, is vital.
Below are links to the most frequently accessed information on our website:
We are delighted you are considering our school for your child. Haygrove is an excellent secondary school where pupils make good progress and achieve outstanding examination results.
Below are links to some of the important information you need to make the right decision for your family:
If you need to get in touch or wish to make an appointment:
Phone 01278 455531 between 8 am - 4 pm or use our Contact Us enquiry form
Durleigh Road
On the 5th February Haygrove were visited by MADE for Education who provided bespoke, high impact workshops to support all Year 11 students, helping them develop new revision techniques.
"Exams MADE Easy/Rapid Revision" is an interactive and engaging 2 hour workshop which helps students to develop core skills in time management, revising and memorising and, as all of the workshops are linked to the National Curriculum the students will be able to immediately apply their new found skills to their revision and study plans.
On the evening of the 5th Feb, parents and carers attended a brilliant 60 minute 'twilight session'. This session reiterated what was presented to the students to showcase these techniques to parents so they can help reinforce these ideas when at home.
"I really enjoyed the workshop! It made revision seem way less stressful and I will definitely use the techniques that we learnt about. The man running it was great too, he made it really fun and engaging. We also went to the parents evening which my mum thought was very helpful, particularly the bit about the revision environment!." - Year 11 student
Our students behaved brilliantly during the workshops, proving that they are a real credit to the school. A massive thank you goes to Sander from MADE for coming in presenting all of the sessions and we'd like to thank Next Steps South West for supporting this event.
Please have a look at the video created by MADE which showcases more of what the students learnt.

Lo and behold!
A year has passed since our antiheroes have set out on their quest to demolish and besiege the musical wastelands and format radio soundscapes that deform the inner workings and mental health of our fellow human kind.
It has been done!
Tunes have been wrought people have been rocked and the evil musical syndicalists wither in their echo chambers damming the day they decided to turn their backs on desire and giving in to greed and money.
Having beaten the system in its own realm there was room for new frontiers. Searching oneself and the species there was only one way and one goal left. Giving everybody a chance. Providing an escape route for tormented souls and unwrenching the built up and inherited vice of the ages by reaching for the stars.
The journey begins!
Deep down in the abysmal depths there was a sound to be found. A wailing low frequent humm that forbode a destination that would be manifold and more than just one planet or eaven one solar system. A backbeat and a hypnotic tune found in the challenger deep 10.000 miles beneath the sea would leave our protagonists no choice.
A sound had been found and there was no choice and no other way to save the day. The people will have to come with us. On a journey through the inner workings and the outer systems. From the glistening radioactive scorching surface of the sun boiling in millions of kelvin spewing strata of flare and cosmic exhaust to the outer most reaches of barren pluto neptune uranus and their off kilter cousins titania miranda umbriel ariel and trinculo.
Passing the inner world mercury dry as a dessert and hot as afrika on a day without wind. Venus. The unknown and terribly seductive power energy ball. Uncharted. Stormy and high where an electric wind has been raging for millions of years that has been named yet reigns untamed. The electric dragon of venus.
The blue planet. Earth. The motherlode. The deep blue and origin of the journey. Born in the pressurized unfathomable deep of the challenger. Rising and decompressing to swim with the ghost shark becoming a sharkist thereby breaking the surface of the ocean to glide along the coastal line onto a dessert planet of terror that has seen thousands of years of trouble turmoil human fear and love.
Passing the red wastelands of mars where hillbillys attack and dodging the bullets of the asteroid belt there will be a riff and a beat for everyone willing to take the trip.
The stars and the planets. The ringworlds surrounding jupiter and the icy unknown ocean that lie beneath the surface of ganymede and europa harboring distant cousins of earths deep blue. Powered by hither unknown forces hidden in the tevatron collisions we will accelerate your heartbeat and wide eye your reptile brain into a new form.

Top 10 Things to do in New Orleans 2015 {From the Archives}
The Big Easy is one of the most vibrant places I've ever been. How can you not have an amazing time in this city? I recently took a trip to New Orleans for my 23rd birthday and I want to share a few things that I did but also a few things that I wish I could have done. If you are planning a visit to NOLA any time soon - I hope this list is helpful in your adventures!
1. One of the first things you will want to do in New Orleans is visit Jackson Square.
Located directly in the center of the French Quarter - it is surrounded by history that you won't want to miss.
2. Cafe Du Monde - This was by far one of my most favorite places in New Orleans. Known for their to-die-for a beignet and coffee; Cafe Du Monde did not disappoint.
3. St. Charles Line - Hop Aboard! The St. Charles Avenue Streetcar is one of the best things you will invest in. Walking in New Orleans is a pain when you don't have a $3 streetcar pass. It was so much more convenient to ride those from destination to destination and it was a blast.
4. Garden District Mansions - The St. Charles stops near the Garden District and you will want to put this on your list! These are some of the most gorgeous houses you will ever see. They even have one with the theme "Wedding Cake House". How cool is that?
5. The French Market - In the short time I was in NOLA, I was unable to visit the French Market. My biggest regret! I heard it was magnificent and full of great places to grab authentic souvenir so you should definitely check it out if you are ever in the area.
6. St. Louis Cemetery #1 - The day we visited the cemetery it was raining so hard but I think that it just added to the atmosphere of the place. Being the oldest cemetery in New Orleans (1789) it is definitely a maze with tombs and crumbling bricks. Marie Laveau's remains are there and while we tried to find them but we were not successful in the slightest! Hopefully you will be.
7. Algiers Ferry - We weren't able to do this but I would have loved to have taken a ride on along the Mississippi River - for free! You can go across and grab lunch on the other side and it runs daily!
8. Street Performers - The first night we were exploring the city, we heard a woman on a violin playing the theme song to Titanic. It. Was. Magical. The street performances are something you should just stop and listen to. They are definitely one of a kind and New Orleans is so rich with talent that you don't want to miss it!
9. Mardis Gras - Beads, festivals, and Nola oh my! One of the biggest celebrations of the year and it is surely something you will want to be a part of. I haven't had the pleasure of going yet but I am sure that it is a good time for all.
10. Magazine Street - This street stretches on for 6 miles with dozens of antique shops, clothing boutiques, and restaurants/bars.
If you are in New Orleans and feel like shopping - be sure to check this place out!
I hope that if you are ever in New Orleans this list will help you out. There is so much more to do in the colorful city that is NOLA but this is just a condensed list of things that I've done/recommend.
Have you ever been to New Orleans? If so, what was your favorite part?

Research Project Recruitment in Alaska
The Alaska Psychological Association regularly receives requests to survey the association's members and affiliates. However, listserv guidelines do not allow research recruitment and so requests are instead placed on this list of research projects actively recruiting in Alaska. To be added to this list, please complete the Research Request Form at the bottom of the page. Projects will be removed after 6 months. Note, the Alaska Psychological Association does not endorse any listed research project listed below.
Active Research Projects
[Posted June 2016]
Project Title: Routine Outcome Monitoring and Clinical Supervision
Researcher: Kyle Dexter [email@example.com]
Psychotherapy has repeatedly been shown to be an acceptable form of treatment for a variety of psychiatric conditions. However, despite the success of psychotherapy, not all patients improve during a course of treatment. In fact, research has suggested that some patients actually become worse while engaged in psychotherapy. Thus, it becomes important to identify patient deterioration and provide this information back to therapists. Additionally, the ability to detect patient deterioration cannot be solely the result of clinician judgment. Research has shown that utilizing actuarial methods of identifying patient non-responders is superior to that of clinician judgment alone. In turn, the field has moved towards implementing routine outcome monitoring tools/management systems to assist in the process of identifying patients who are failing to respond to treatment. As such, the proposed study seeks to explore potential relationships between routine outcome monitoring, deliberate practice, and routine clinical supervision. While routine outcome monitoring tools are readily available to be implemented in routine practice settings, it is unknown as to the degree that this is actually happening. Moreover, it appears that certain therapist characteristics might be implicated in the decision to utilize routine outcome monitoring tools, which may be related to the pursuit of deliberate practice. Finally, clinical supervision has been a long-standing component of psychotherapy training, but it remains to be seen how routine outcome monitoring tools are being utilized within the context of routine clinical supervision.
IRB Name and Project Number
The study was approved by the University of Alaska Fairbanks IRB on May 24, 2016 (IRB# 893433-1).

Senate vote to fund the government fails, shutdown begins, White House responds
The Senate failed to pass a government spending bill on Friday evening to keep the federal government running. A partial government shutdown began at midnight.
A few Republicans joined Democrats to oppose the short-term funding deal that would have kept the federal government's doors open through February 16.
Senators huddled together on the floor in the hours after the vote negotiating possible ways to avoid a shutdown. However, there was no agreement reached before the critical midnight deadline.
Republican senators Jeff Flake of Arizona, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Mike Lee of Utah and Rand Paul of Kentucky broke with their party to vote against the short-term government spending bill.
Five Democratic senators voted to keep the government open, including Joe Donnelly of Indiana, Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota, Doug Jones of Alabama and Joe Manchin of West Virginia.
Shortly before midnight, the White House issued a statement blaming Democrats for the government shutdown and indicating a tougher negotiating position on the status of illegal immigrants, a key issue Democrats wanted included in must-pass legislation.
"We will not negotiate the status of unlawful immigrants while Democrats hold our lawful citizens hostage over their reckless demands," press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said. "When Democrats start paying our armed forces and first responders we will reopen negotiations on immigration reform."
The White House described the government shutdown vote on Friday as "the behavior of obstructionist losers, not legislators." President Trump has not yet made a statement.
On Thursday, the House approved the four-week funding bill on Thursday evening, including a provision to fund an important federal health insurance program for children, CHIP. Republicans hoped the CHIP deal would incentivize Democrats to vote for the short-term deal that did not include other key priorities.
Many Senate Democrats refused to sign on to a deal that did not include protections for the nearly 700,000 immigrants who were brought to the United States illegally as children under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
A number of Republicans broke ranks with their party including Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina who hoped to reach a bipartisan temporary funding deal that would have given senators a tighter deadline to debate a budget and the future of the "dreamers."
RELATED | Here's what happened during the last government shutdown
Earlier in the day, there were some signs that an agreement could be reached. President Donald Trump invited Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer to the White House for an extensive discussion.
After the meeting, Trump seemed optimistic tweeting, "Making progress - four week extension would be best!"
As the Republican conference met behind closed doors ahead of the 10 p.m. vote, it became clear that the measure was not going to pass.

Security Concerns Debated After Robbery of Justice Breyer
The robbery of Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer at his vacation home on the island of Nevis in the Caribbean has raised again the question of how much security protection the justices should get.
A Blog of Legal Times post summarized the ways that justices may be protected:
"[W]hen they are at public events in the D.C. area, justices are typically accompanied by Supreme Court police; when they are in the rest of the country, officers from the local U.S. marshal's office are seen providing security. When they travel abroad, security appears to be handled through the U.S. embassy at their destination."
Brian Todd said in a CNN broadcast the robbery of Justice Breyer by a machete-wielding intruder raises the question, "Are America's top judicial figures adequately protected?" Todd did not give an answer. His report included an interview with a former U.S. Secret Service director who said full-time security for the justices, which is not provided now, would be both expensive and invasive to privacy.
Initial news reports did not indicate that Justice Breyer's robber knew the identity of his intended victim. The CNN report alluded to the killing of family members of a Chicago federal judge in 2005. In that case, a man frustrated over a failed lawsuit later was identified as the killer of the mother and husband of Judge Joan Lefkow, after the man had committed suicide.
Steps were taken afterward to improve security for judges and court employees, as outlined in a New York Times article in 2006.
At Examiner.com, Dave Gibson wrote a commentary this week that was entitled, "Should Supreme Court justices have around-the-clock protection?" Gibson suggested, "While the justices have been resistant to such protection, it may now simply be imposed upon them."

Having followed bitcoin since it was $3 in 2011 we have had many, many "all time high" celebrations. Breaking $10 was a small celebration. Breaking $100 had us cheering and buying a round of drinks at the bar. And, when it broke $1,000, TDV subscribers were heard around the world buying sports cars and yachts. But with bitcoin breaking above $1,325.00 to hit an all time high of $1,331.31 on CoinDesk's Bitcoin Price Index (BPI), this is a memorable one. The previous all time high which was set on March 10th amid expectations that the Winklevoss ETF proposal (COIN) may have been approved by the SEC, pushed Bitcoin up to $1325.81.

Last week the SSA and advisers were trained on how to intervene, redirect, and handle conflict in ways that deescalate the situation. There are a lot of miss conceptions about what a SSA does. They are not tattle-tails. SSA ambassadors are trained to take an active role in identifying and intervening with bullying, harassment, etc. To learn more about Safe School Ambassadors contact our counselor, Mrs. Contreras, email@example.com

It was great to see the students and parents come out today and find their way around campus. A BIG WELCOME BACK!!! Teachers did a fine job of engaging students with icebreakers and getting students familiar with routines and procedures. The students and staff did a wonderful job adjusting to the bell system failure. Teachers were impressed by the student's sense of urgency to get to class. Thursday should be just as impressive as today.

This set-up also ensures that quality controls are monitored and maintained, and that anti-fraud measures are always observed throughout the medical screening process.
SLEC added another feather to its cap in 2008 when it was evaluated by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Division of Global Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ) and Division of Tuberculosis Elimination (DTBE) in partnership with the Federal Advisory Council for the Elimination of Tuberculosis (ACET) and the National Tuberculosis Controllers Association (NTCA) as an invaluable tool in determining SLEC's adaptability and capacity in implementing dynamic guidelines for the medical examination of U.S. immigrant visa applicants. Clinic staff was found to be competent, well-trained, and highly motivated to follow established procedures to serve clients well. This distinction has earned SLEC the stature to be model for other medical screening facilities worldwide. Since then, SLEC has been continuously setting standards for excellence in medical screening services.

About St. Lukes & What their building looks like.
How to Contact St. Lukes
When you go to SLMCEC for medical examination, you must bring your passport and three (3) photo (size: 2″ x 2″). It is important to complete your medical examination before you come to the Embassy for your visa interview. Otherwise, your visa application may be refused or you may be asked to return for another appointment. The medical examination results are delivered directly to the Embassy.
First-Come, First-Served
Applicants are examined on a first-come, first-served basis. Medical examinations may take more than one day to complete. Female applicants may request a female doctor to perform the examination. Unless it is necessary, do not bring companions due to space limitation at the clinic.
A chest X-ray is not required for children below 15 years old, unless symptoms of tuberculosis (TB) exist, there is a history of TB, or there has been possible exposure of TB with a known case such as a family or household member with TB.
The U.S. Public Health Service/Centers for Disease Control (USPHS/CDC) mandates women who are pregnant to have chest X-ray examinations conducted. Chest X-rays for pregnant women are not dangerous if taken with the proper shielding. Applicants who have previous chest X-rays must bring the results with them to SLMCEC for comparative analysis.
U.S. immigration law requires that ALL immigrant visa applicants be vaccinated against certain vaccine-preventable diseases before they can be admitted to the United States for permanent residence.
Vaccinations currently required are as follows:
√ Mumps
√ Measles
√ Rubella
√ Polio
√ Tetanus
√ Diphtheria
√ Pertussis
√ Haemophilus influenzae Type B
√ Rotavirus
√ Hepatitis A
√ Hepatitis B
√ Meningococcal disease
√ Varicella
√ Pneumococcal
√ Influenza
Any other vaccinations recommended by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices.
"K" visa applicants, as nonimmigrant visa applicants, are technically not subject to the vaccination requirement. "K" visa applicants who refuse to comply with the vaccination requirement will not be denied a visa on that basis. As a matter of expediency, however, it is encouraged that "K" visa applicants meet the vaccination requirement before they are admitted into the U.S.
Bring Your Vaccination Records for the Panel Physician's Review
You should bring records to show that you have already received vaccinations against certain vaccine-preventable diseases. The panel physician will review the vaccination records and will determine if you meet the vaccination requirement.
Only the panel physician can determine which vaccinations are medically appropriate. This could mean that you may be required to repeat doses of vaccines that you have already received. Administering a second dose, however, will not endanger your health.
Adjustment of Status Application after "K" Applicant's Admission into the U.S.
After you have been admitted to the U.S. in "K" status and apply for adjustment from nonimmigrant to a permanent resident (green card holder), the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will use the panel physician's vaccination assessment to determine your admissibility on medical grounds.
Applicants who have not fully complied with the vaccination requirement will have to do so before they may finalize their adjustment of status in the U.S. FilAm Immigrations will assist our client with their I-693 as part of their Adjustment of Status. FORM I-693

"Allah ghayatuna Al-rasul za'imuna. Al-Qur-'an dusturuna. Al-jihad sabiluna. Al-mawt fi sabil Allah asma amanina. Allah akbar, Allah akbar."
"God is our goal, the Quran is our Constitution, the Prophet is our leader, struggle [jihad] is our way, and death in the service of God is the loftiest of our wishes. God is great. God is great." -Muslim Brotherhood chant
Last month Boko Haram, a franchise of al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood, kidnapped 276 young girls in Nigeria. This horrifying situation reminded this country, apparently even the White House, that Islamic fascism was still a serious threat to world peace. As if kidnapping innocent children was not bad enough, Boko Haram then announced their intentions to sell the girls into slavery. Prior Boko Haram's threat that the children, who are mostly Christian, would be sold in the "marketplace," President Obama publicly ignored the kidnapping. But, even the Obama's found this promise of forced (sexual) servitude so shocking that Michelle launched a Twitter campaign – #bringbackourgirls.
Emphatically, it should not have taken an announcement by Boko Haram to wake Obama up to reality of Islamist groups and human trafficking. That al Qaeda and such groups have for a long time been modern day slavers is actually old news. Not only has al Qaeda practiced slavery in North Africa, but they are a force[1] in the Asian sex slave trade as well. Indeed, Qatar, the home of the al Qaeda's parent organization, the Muslim Brotherhood, has one of the most oppressed (read: enslaved) labor forces in the entire world, despite also having the highest GDP per capita in the world. There's some real income inequality for you. Nevertheless, it took the clear and sustained outrage of a shocked world to get the Obamas to join the protest against Boko Haram. At least on the surface of things.
Here are some quick facts about Nigeria, and why the Boko Haram Islamist insurgency is important for the world to pay attention to. Nigeria has both the largest population in Africa (170 million) and Africa's largest economy. This is thanks, in part, to massive reserves of oil. Boko Haram has been trying to violently overthrow the government of Nigeria since 2001, but in the last few years, especially since 2011, the situation has gotten considerably more tenuous for the Nigerian state. In 2014 alone, there have been (at least) 11 deadly attacks. If the Nigerian state were to collapse, and an Afghanistan-like environment of anarchy were to emerge (as has emerged in Libya since the end of Gaddafi's rule), there is little doubt that the wars already raging in the Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, not to mention South Sudan and other places, would spill over into Nigeria.
Moreover, like in Nigeria, the conflicts in the Sudan, CAR, and DRC involve Islam and Christianity. Should Boko Haram succeed, Africa would be in a state of near total war – total religious war. It would be very hard to stop this chaos and animosity from spreading across the entire world. Already Europe has seen the ascendency of a fascist-oriented political Right, an ideology which shares the resentment of Muslim immigrants across parties and across nations. Whether it is National Front in France or Vlaams Belang in Belgium, the parties of the Nouvelle Droit on the continent make their animosity toward non-Christian immigrants a central part of their political platforms. For this reason, Europe would be especially vulnerable to violence if Boko Haram is not suppressed.
Obama's Stance. Or Dance?
In the days since the kidnapping made international headlines, a curious pattern of policy positions have been unearthed concerning the Obama administration's State Department, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and their view of Boko Haram. The State Department, despite the increasing urgency of the situation, and additionally, reports that Boko Haram had originally received seed money from Osama bin Laden, refused to designate Boko Haram a terrorist organization. As Andrew McCarthy put it in his May 13 article:
"Instead, ignoring what Boko Haram pronounces its goals to be, the Obama administration portrayed it as a diffuse organization with no clear agenda that was ascendant due to the policies of the Nigerian government (which is under Christian leadership). As the Boko Haram threat got progressively worse, the State Department and the White House theorized that it could be defused by better government engagement with the Muslim population in Northern Nigeria, and that designating Boko Haram as a terrorist organization—which would have triggered our law's array of counterterrorism tools and squeezed the organization financially—would raise its prestige while encouraging more government repression against Muslims."
It's hard to fathom how the State Department could fail to see the hallmarks of al Qaeda in Boko Haram, whose very name means "western education is forbidden [according to Islam]." If there is still any doubt, Boko Haram made it clear when they hoisted the al Qaeda flag over the kidnapped children. Perhaps this stance by Hillary should not perplex us. It was Hillary, after all, who insisted that the United States had a right to arm the Libyan rebels in overthrowing Gaddafi, despite the fact that many of them were essentially al Qaeda. Since then, Libya has failed to stabilize, while becoming a hotbed for drug trafficking Islamic cartels. (Drug trafficking is another signature of Islamist movements, especially al Qaeda. This theme will be expanded on and explained below.)
And yet Hillary's State Department's obliviousness was not an oversight – it appears to be State Department policy. For in May 2013, the Nigerian government conducted air strikes against Boko Haram positions in northeastern Nigeria. Secretary of State John Kerry, at once, urged restraint, cautioning the Nigerian government of Goodluck Jonathan "to respect human rights and not harm civilians." Let us recall the number of civilians that Obama has effectively ordered killed each year by U.S. drone strikes in the alleged hunt for al Qaeda terrorists (who seem to be more menacing than ever): 2,400 have been killed in drone strikes from 2009 through the end of 2013, many of them civilians. With hypocritical allies like Clinton, Kerry, and their boss, Obama… good luck, Jonathan. You definitely need it.
The Libyan Arms Grab
What could explain the sudden prominence and threat of Boko Haram, which was, up until 2011, not viewed as an existential threat to Nigerian society? There rise seems to coincide with the fall of Gaddafi and the dispersing of his massive weapons caches. Note that in Iraq, when Saddam Hussein was defeated, it was the very Iraqi weapons which were formerly under state control that fueled the al Qaeda insurgency of the Islamic State of Iraq, or ISI (no pun intended on the part of the author). Several sources, including Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Seymour Hersh, suggest the the Obama administration, specifically the CIA acting under the aegis of the Hillary's State Department, was using the compound in Benghazi as an arms shipment point to rebels (i.e., al Qaeda et al.) in Syria. Would it not make perfect sense that the some of the weapons went south, into Nigeria? And into the Central African Republic, which has also seen a horrific spike in violence since 2011?
What is the Obama administration doing in Africa? It is a question worth considering. Additional food for thought comes from Mali. In 2012, the United States, along with the United Kingdom and France, sanctioned the government of Mali following a military coup. The coup in Mali was a direct result of the previous government's impotence in effectively thwarting Islamist insurgencies in the north, such as al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM). Why would the United States and other NATO allies sanction a government that was fighting al Qaeda from overtaking their country?
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's dictum applies: "Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth." Is Obama really arming and supporting al Qaeda?
The remainder of the article will explore this proposition and offer evidence of why this looks likely.

Deadpool 2 Writers Discuss Potential For Wolverine Team-Up
Though Deadpool's cinematic future wide open, Wolverine's appears to be winding down, with his final outing taking place in next month's much-anticipated "Logan." While most knew this was a long time coming, it hasn't deterred many from begging Hugh Jackman to get to snikt-ing just one more time, if only for a cameo in one of Wade Wilson's upcoming sequels. While that possibility still seems a bit far-fetched, the writers behind "Deadpool 2" recently reiterated that they'd drop most their plans for a chance at the team-up.
In an interview today with The Playlist, screenwriters Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese revealed their opinions on a Jackman reprisal. "It would be amazing to have Hugh resurrect Wolverine in the Deadpool universe, and again, Ryan's making a hard push to make that happen, and hopefully the public gets behind it and we can all convince Hugh to put the claws on one more time," said Wernick.
RELATED: Jake Gyllenhaal Praises Deadpool, Says Oscars Snubbed Ryan Reynolds
Since it's still a stretch to see this ever materializing, the two are hard at work planning a third "Deadpool" movie along with an "X-Force" adaptation, all sans Wolverine. If — by some divine miracle — Jackman were to agree, it would mean some serious franchise retooling… not that they're opposed in any way.
"I don't think any of us operated under the assumption that it would be even possible to do a Deadpool/Wolverine thing, so we just haven't planned for it, it's still not in the plan, but if it were to happen, it would require a hard look at the overall architecture of our storylines," said Reese.
RELATED: Hugh Jackman Weighs In on Chances of a Deadpool / Wolverine Film
While they confirmed once again that there will be no Deadpool cameo in "Logan," the writers agree that a team-up would work incredibly well. "I think the tone will absolutely work if we put those two together," said Reese. "Deadpool always needs a straight man, a foil, and Wolverine would be as good a foil as Colossus, just more cantankerous."
Until then, we'll unfortunately have to just settle for their solo vehicles. "Logan" hits theaters on March 3, with "Deadpool 2" set for some time in 2018.
