Communion Records, the label that began life in the Notting Hill Arts Club, recently celebrated their tenth anniversary in style. For one night only the best of the best, including Marcus Mumford, James Bay and new comers such as local girl Rukshana Merrise took to the stage at the uber cool House of Vans. The excitement was tangible. Partygoers mingled with performers – Bears Den were particularly popular – everyone wanted to chat with them. Then the music began.
My goodness, Jack Garrett is a tour du force. Rukshana did a fantastic cover of 'Respect' . However, everything good about Communion was encapsulated when all the artists performing that night did an electrifying version of 'With a little help from my friends.' It really felt it was a piece of music history.
Maz Tappuni, who has been a driving force behind the Communion family, told me about his memories of the early days.: "I remember releasing our first ever compilation way back when, and celebrating its release at the Notting Hill Arts Club by trying to get all of the acts to perform that same night. We tried getting around fifteen bands to perform. I just remember spending most of the evening looking everywhere for bands. Most of my earlier memories at the Arts Club are so blurred. I blame the bar staff."
"How would you sum up the first decade of Communion?" I asked, "I would say it's been a mixture of a lot of learning, a lot of laughing, and a lot of hard work…and spending a lot of time at gigs. A lot of time." Max replied.
Me: "What hopes does Communion have for the next 10 years?". Max: "On the records side of things, we want to keep putting out brilliant records by amazing artists and continuing to support their work and creativity."
Me: "Who is the artist that you wished you'd signed?" Max: "I wish we had signed Hozier. He's such a great talent.". communionmusic

A beautiful area, a cascade of weather patterns, sweaty sun of the summer mixed with hard clay dusty dirt, snow capped winters, springs busting with a rainbow of wild flowers blowing in the breeze, and crisp autumn sunday afternoons with the Raiders getting bloody in the chilly air.
Mt. Diablo omninously stares down its residents. The terrain beckons and tickles any interest; fishing, hiking, bicycling, getting intoxicated. . .
My grandfather, Irish immigrant, a copper miner in the desert mountains, wasting his friday paychecks, making friends in the old time saloons, "Beer and hookers for everyone!". How could resist a good friend like that in hard times. Or, for a good read, "Barbary Coast" by Herbert Asbbury. Study of history is important to point out scams. San Francisco's "Summer of Love" was anything but; Haight Street teeming with heroin junkies, theives, and con artists looking for a scam and a fix. Definitely not the peace loving positive vibe nonsense that has been marketed for some weird form of consumerism. Religion, and how politicians manipulate those histories for the rallying of public voting sheep to believe the unbelievable; twisting the religious prophet's words into the opposite of what was intended. "Jesu's Allah Vishnu has instructed me to increase parking fees and bomb goldfish, even the women and children".
Now, in this area, much like any other area, a collection of people, passing through, and their stories. Ordinary people struggling with the mundanities of life. Yet, all of this paints a mosiac, a masterpiece of drama, color, and another excuse to have another beer.

The Sport Minister, Natalia Riffo, confirmed today Chile's absence in the route of the 2016 edition of the Dakar Rally.
After 7 years in a row as being part of the hardest out-track rally of the world, including 2 years in a row as the finishing line of the competence in 2013 and 2014, the executive preferred to allocate the resources to the reconstruction of the North Area after the catastrophe because of the rains and consecutive landslides.
In this way the Atacama Desert, the area that had become habitual in the trace and a characteristic picture of the South American edition of the race will not be present, as it was announced yesterday.
'Today we confirm together with the Dakar Organization that it will not go through Chile in 2016. Mostly, due to the situation going on at the moment at the North of the country. There are no conditions for people to solve their problems about health, housing and connection, and the Organization understood it', explained the Sport Minister.

In the year 2010, Google's them-VP of Search Products Marissa Mayer launched Google Instant. Recently, the popular search engine Google has decided to completely remove it with its immediate search. From now on, if you type in the Google search box, you will only see search suggestions. Google Instant Search is no more!
Google has explicitly removed the 'Instant Search' feature from its desktop-based search engine. Instant search feature has been part of the Google search engine since 2010, and now, with the Google Search feature, the devices with different screen sizes and input methods This feature has been removed to bring the same search experience across all devices, mainly being popular on a wide range of applications.
SearchEngineLand, which broke the story, received this statement from Google:
"We launched Google Instant back in 2010 with the goal to provide users with the information they need as quickly as possible, even as they typed their searches on desktop devices. Since then, many more of our searches happen on mobile, with very different input and interaction and screen constraints. With this in mind, we have decided to remove Google Instant, so we can focus on ways to make Search even faster and more fluid on all devices."
Those who do not know what was the 'instant' feature, it was a service that immediately shows results of Google Search start typing in the search box. For example, if the instant feature is enabled, if you search for "Who is the prime minister of India", then search results begin, when "what" is entered in the search box.
Now, with the Instant feature removed, the search results appear only after you enter the complete query in the search box and press search button or click enter.
On the other hand the suggestion feature is still active, but no result is available until it is selected. This suggestion is another key feature of Google search that automatically appears as soon as you start typing a query in the search box. Suggestions appear but you do not show any results until you click.
So, what do you think about this? Share your views in the comment box below.

Great review on the Mac Ppera Lipstick by Temptalia.
It's a richly pigmented shade that glides on easily without tugging, but it doesn't have a lot of slip, so it stays in place once applied. The color wears like iron and lasts a full six hours and could have kept going. Though not hydrating, it wasn't drying either, which made it comfortable to wear throughout the day. As it is a mostly matte red, it is more dupable than not, so you may want to check your stash to see what you have that's similar. It's a gorgeous red, to be sure, though! MAC's lipstick formula is vanilla-scented with no discernia=ble taste.

Hello, this is 1Historygenius, the Master Historian of this website, and YOU have been challenged to my third most important battles challenge!
We will debate battles for different wars and time periods. What happens is that every round a battle will be placed by each person. The voters will decide who has the more important battle for that round. Who ever has the most will get the most points from the votes and thus win. Sieges are not included in this. Just land and naval battles.
No semantics or trolling!
Round 1 is for acceptance!
Well, I'm not one to decline a debate challenge. I ACCEPT.
I know you said no sematics, but I think it's only fair to define important, as having the greatest impact on the course of history. I don't think that will be a big issue in the debate, but it's just a common framework we can work with. I also assume that by battle we mean a military engagement. Rap battles, for instance, or the cold war, may be important but not battles.
I wish my opponent good luck. LET THE BATTLES BEGIN!
The Battle of Salamis
Year: 480 BC
Fleets: Greek City-States (Eurybiades + Themistocles) vs. Achaemenid Empire (Xerxes I)
The Battle
At this battle, a fleet from the Greek City-States commanded by Eurybiades and Themistocles fought off the Islamic Achaemenid Empire fleet (Persia) commanded by Xerxes I. The Persian fleet was much more larger than the Greek fleet (some say it was 1,000 Persian ships vs. 378 Greek ships). When the Persian ships entered the Straits of Salamis in cramped conditions, they were easily defeated by the Greeks. Some say if they won it would have change a lot.
Had the Persians won?
They would have likely changed history by defeating the Greeks here. As it would have effect Greek progress in civilization and thus change progress in the western world.
Salamais was undoubtedly a very cool battle, but it did not have a significant impact on history. One can draw comparisons between it and Gallipoli, where thousands of allied soldiers were massacred trying to climb a well-fortified Turkish cliff - Turkey was always pretty much guaranteed to win if for no other reason than that they were well-prepared. For sure, if the Ottoman Empire had fallen completely (which would have taken much more than just victory at Gallipoli), pressure could be applied to the entendre forces from the rear, but that does not mean victory in the war, nor does it mean, as my opponent seemed to suggest, that all the Turkish achievements since would not have happened. Even if Greece did fall, at worst we might be calling Aristotle a Persian today. Alexander would likely have conquered them all the same.
Moreover, Salamais was not a battle Xerxes needed to win to win the war. He also had a really massive land invasion, which defeated Greece's best soldiers - as can be witnessed in the movie "300". These legendary battles, including the well-known battle of Marathon, probably had a somewhat greater impact than Salamis did, if for no other reason than that they actually proved the decisive battles that finally convinced the army of Xerxes to turn back. Marathon was ten years after Salamais, and yet Xerxes was still sending many, many soldiers over to Greece.
My battle: Battle of Kalinga
My opponent begins with an ancient battle - well then, so will I.
Kalinga was, in 262 BC, the site of one of the deadliest battles in history. 2,000,000 people, most of them civilians, were slain. Ashoka the Great, the Mauryan leader, led an army of 400,000 against the tiny republic of Kalinga, in modern north-eastern India. According to Pliny the Elder, Kalinga's numbered only a little over 60,000 (including 700 war elephants - some estimates, however, put the number at upwards of 150,000). Ashoka won the battle but at a heavy cost, losing around 100,000 of his own men. The battlefield itself was beside the Daya river, which ran red with blood when the battle was finished.
When the battle was finished, and Ashoka had his victory, it is said that a woman approached him, wailing. When she was asked what her problem was, she told Ashoka "Your actions have taken from me my father, husband, and son. Now what will I have left to live for?" From that day forth, Ashoka decided to accept Buddhism, and stop fighting wars. He went on to lead his empire through many decades of prosperity. On a hill besides the battle site, among his other edicts, Ashoka had carved an apology for conquering the Kalingas. It remains there to this day.
Why was this battle important?
First, the acceptance of Buddhism by Ashoka and the Mauryans generally was one of the principal catalysts for the spread of Buddhism. Had it remained only a minor thing in a few monasteries, it seems extremely unlikely that it would have had so strong an influence on the world as it did. Buddhism continues to be a major force in the world today, and this battle is the one that inspired a man to nurture its growth.
Secondly, as a consequence of that, it changed the nature of the Maurya Empire. Previously military conflict was believed to be the main way for an emperor to attain greatness. From that day forth, it was the Dharma. This led to a flourishing of the arts in India - an era of happiness and prosperity, much like the golden age of, say, Greece.
Third, it was a really deadly battle, one of the deadliest in human history (depending on how exactly it is measured, perhaps THE deadliest). The sheer depopulation of the region had enormous ramifications for centuries to come. Remember this was at a time when the total population of the world was much smaller than it is today.
Finally, the battle's outcome created one of the first unified Indias (well, the very south excluded, but even they paid Ashoka tribute). This unification provided a model for countless future conquest and disputes that continue to this day, but also a model for peace and prosperity in the region.
I thank my opponent for a fun discussion. By the way, my battle for this round was going to be the battle of Liepzig, a personal favourite of mine.

Burger Blaster
Burger Blaster is one of our burger seasonings. Also known as Burger Blazer, this flavorful blend adds a great taste not just on burgers, but steaks, roasts and other beef dishes. The sweetness of the brown sugar is offset by the mustard powder and paprika. The addition of the pepper, rosemary, oregano and the other spices, will please most burger mavens.
Mix right into the ground beef and let sit for an hour or so to let the spices mingle and spread the flavor around. Then once on the grill, sprinkle a bit more on each side of the burger to add that extra bit of flavor.
Rub on your steaks before grilling as well. Let sit for an hour or more so the flavors can settle in.
Enjoy this wonderful blend of sweetness and spicy paprika. Show off to your guests, but don't keep us a secret. Let them also discover your "secret" store.
Since Burger Blaster works well on steaks, you might want to look at our other handcrafted steak seasonings, including our Toronto Steak Seasoning, Prime Rib Roast Beef Seasoning, Tippin' Cows Seasoning and our Smoky Steak & Chop Seasoning.
Contains: Brown Sugar, Paprika, Sea Salt, Yellow Mustard Powder, Black Pepper, Mexican Oregano, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder and Spices.

Tuesday 6th
flushing, cornwall
Its another bright, sunny morning here in Cornwall. At 0700 its still cold and hopefully the sun will shine as it did yesterday. I am currently finishing off work on the masts in preparation to having them re-stepped this week – possibly even tomorrow! Time was wasted yesterday as a mousing line broke in the main mast as I was attempting to install a new navigation light cable. Three hours later and with the sun setting all was well with the world again. Today I'll be finishing the job and tidying up the few remaining tasks such as fitting the new TV antenna.
Wednesday 7th
Raining this morning and due to clear in an hour or so. The masts are pretty much ready to go in and the crane is booked for tomorrow, Thursday! Today's job is to tighten the shrouds so that each spreader is at the prescribed 6° above the horizontal – had to dig out the cosine rule to work out the mathematics!
The photo shows the main mast already in and the mizzen being lifted. As you can see the wind generator is mounted. The intentionally upside down aerial at the mast head is for the new Navtex and the one on the spreader is a WiFi antenna for picking up hotspots – to allow the blog to continue! You can also make out the new TV antenna on top of the mast – the disk shaped one.
The keel is having a small repair done to the front where I ran into a rock on the way home from Sweden and cracked some filler off the cast iron ballast.
Monday 12th
We have worked every day since the last post. The masts went in as planned on Thursday. Since then I have wired the new gas solenoid – no more going on deck to switch gas on and off! The bathing platform has been sanded, re-screwed and re-caulked. Last through hull (replacement sea cock for forward head) has been installed, a minor repair to the keel complete and the anti-fouling touched up. Repairs to the deck are just about complete with just a bit of finish sanding to do tomorrow.
Wednesday 14th – Launching!
In the water at last! High tide was at 0907 and we floated about 0830. No leaks from either the new keel cooler or the replacement sea cock. The engine ran nicely and we motored off down the Penryn river to go alongside the visitor's marina in Falmouth. Here is a shot of Emma Louise just before launching……
The job list is still extensive and it will be another week or so before we are ready to go anywhere serious. We have paid Falmouth Harbour Commissioners for the use of a visitors buoy for the next two weeks.
Saturday 17th – First Visitors!
Our friends Rosemary and Kerr Hodge stayed in Flushing for the weekend and we took them out for the day on Saturday. They survived the dinghy ride to the mooring and we then motored across to Falmouth to procure a picnic. The weather was generally much better than Friday's forecast and we only had to dodge a single shower during the morning. With only a moderate breeze blowing we decided to motor across to the Helford River in the hope of seeing the dolphins that had been reported in the area. No such luck but we managed to arrive at a visitors buoy in time to watch the end of a gigg race…
After that we settled down for lunch…….
Lunch over and we unfurled the genoa at the buoy and sailed down river under a following breeze. It was a lovely, leisurely blow back to Falmouth and we arrived back at our mooring about 1700, still not having seen the dolphins.
Week of 19th
This week we are busy moving out of our winter accommodation and sorting out the remaining jobs on the boat. We are trying to get ready to be able to sail on 1 April when our friends Sue and Aus Dancey are due to join us for the start of our UK circumnavigation. The new shower door was collected from Penryn glass on Tuesday (photo to follow, when installed) and on the only wet day of the week, Thursday, we motored around to Mylor and embarked a couple of car loads of our worldly goods. We have bought a replacement liferaft and that was delivered on Wednesday and installed in its cradle on Thursday. This is a four man, ocean standard Zodiac, hopefully never to be used!
We spent the night on board on Thursday despite the Eberspacher still not working as I haven't got round to fixing it yet. However, it is moving rapidly up the to do list and will have to be sorted before Sue and Aus get here! As the weekend approached the wether got better and better and we took our friends Simon and Sue up the River Fal on Saturday. It was a lovely, if somewhat breezy afternoon and we enjoyed a picnic lunch alongside the visitor's pontoons at the junction of the Fal and Truro rivers. Steve and Pixie Murray, along with Steve's mum joined us for sundowners when we called into Mylor to drop Simon and Sue. Here is Emma Louise pictured at her mooring on Sunday 25th……

Australia Keeps Rates Unchanged
Central Bank's Decision Suggests Desire for Data After March 2 Tightening
SYDNEY, Australia -- Australia's central bank surprised markets by holding interest rates steady, drawing cheers from the government and small businesses that had cautioned against a second rate increase in as many months.
Board members of the Reserve Bank of Australia suggested they are waiting for a clearer signal from economic indicators before deciding whether a March 2 rate increase was a one-time phenomenon or the start of a new tightening phase needed to head off inflation. The central bank was chided by Prime Minister...

text: So I got home Monday before last after being gone overnight and wouldn't you know it but one of my 5 Wyandotte hens decided to take her revenge by showing off a nice newly acquired limp, I think just to give me the needle for leaving them overnight,lol. I'm a worried she could have a broken toe or something and I'm just not sure what to look for... its been just over a week and she hasn't improved and if anything she seems to be maybe just a tad more sore. She walks around fine but you can see a slight limp if she walks quickly and lately, when she can, she holds her right foot up off the ground. You really notice though if she decides to run/flap her way around, usually to catch up to others if she's drifted too far behind. I've had a look at her and can find nothing wrong with her foot/leg, ie: sores or "bumble foot?", but these are my very first chickens ever, got them May 4th at a day or so old, and would like someone with more experience to point out to me what to look and or feel for. They all are eating and drinking and acting as "plucky" as ever and all have been vaccinated for Mareks if that needs to be considered, just need some advice on what if anything I can do and what to look for. Thanks in advance!!

Théâtre la Seizième was founded in 1974. At the time the company was created, it was situated on 16th Avenue in Vancouver. The first production for general audiences on the marquee was "Les Belles-Soeurs" by Michel Tremblay, bringing together 15 women on stage. The director and first Artistic Director, Catherine Colvey, was naturally named "la seizième" (the sixteenth person).
Artistic Directors
Catherine Colvey (1974-1977)
Maurice Meloche (1977-1978
Jean-André Leblanc (1978-1980)
Denis Chouinard (1980-1983)
Nicole-Marie Rhéault (1983 à 1985)
Réjean Poirier (1985-1991)
Roger Gaudet (1991-1993)
Michelle Cook (1993-1997)
Alain Jean (1997-2001)
Craig Holzschuh (2001-2016)
Esther Duquette (2016-today)
From a troupe to a theatre
Originally called "Troupe de la Seizième" until 1995, the company produced, from time to time, plays for general audiences and for children in Vancouver and all of Western Canada. Under the artistic direction of Catherine Colvey, and subsequently Maurice Meloche and Jean-André Leblanc, they performed notably at the Maison de la parole, The Vancouver East Cultural Centre, the York Theatre and the Metro.
Under Denis Choinard, the company achieved fully professional status in 1980. In 1985, Réjean Poirier developed the theatre for young audiences program to meet the increasing demand for French plays for children. Productions for youth audiences were added to the programming in the 90's.
A place for creation
During Roger Gaudet's second mandate (1991-1993), la Seizième participated in equipping the new « Studio 16 » of the Maison de la francophonie on 7th Avenue West. That venue would become the main performance space for Théâtre la Seizième.
From 1993 to 1997, Michelle Cook took over the reins of the company. It's at this time that La Seizième organizes the "Festival Théâtre Jeunesse" on four occasions. In 1998, Alain Jean developed the idea of complete seasons for general audiences, which continues to this day. Every year the company has presented a regular season of multiple productions for Vancouver audiences, including one local production.
Development of the artistic community
In 2001, Craig Holzschuh, the Administrative Director and Assistant Artistic Director for 2 years, becomes the Artistic and General Director of the company. He immediately creates the "Dramaturgical Development Program" to support British-Columbian writers. Through this program, the theatre commissions plays from young artists and supports them during the writing process to eventually produce the play.
Today, this program is now part of a more complete training package, for the support and dramaturgical development of stage artists. Théâtre la Seizième reaffirms its desire to support theatre training in western Canada and the creation of local theatre.
A major creative and production centre
The work produced by Théâtre la Seizième is lauded as much on the local level as on the national stage. Over the past few years, the company has programmed and co-presented international productions such as 887 (2016), Le projet Anderson (2007) and Le Dragon bleu (2009) by Robert Lepage or Séquence 8 by les 7 doigts de la main.
The productions of La vue d'en haut by James Long (2008), Le Périmètre by Frédéric Blanchet (2009) and Statu Quo by Gilles Poulin-Denis (2013), were directed by Craig Holzschuh and toured regionally and nationally. These productions were presented by prestigious theatre companies such as the National Arts Centre, Le Cercle Molière from Winnipeg and the Festival Théâtre Ados de Laval. These numerous projects assert Théâtre la Seizième's place as major centre for dramaturgy, creation and the presentation of theatre in French Canada.

Let's unstall this whore. I'm not dead. I got rear-ended at almost 40mph, overnighted in hospital, then all week been making up schoolwork, trying to get my car totaled out, getting a rental, etc. ad infinitum…
All the while wearing a damn whiplash-collar. Last time I used a whip, a lash, and a collar together, I had way more fun. =/
Who are you calling a whore? 😛

Norfolk Library and Information Service work with volunteers to enhance and support the activities which we run. We are happy to work with young volunteers as we realise that volunteering can be a brilliant way for young people to demonstrate skills in a more formal setting and to explore their interests in new and exciting ways.
One of the main roles that young people find really rewarding is supporting the Summer Reading Challenge, encouraging children to read more.
Research shows that the Summer Reading Challenge improves Children's confidence and sends them back to school fired up and ready to learn. It is now the UK's biggest promotion of Children's Reading.
Volunteers needed to help with Animal Agents Summer Reading Challenge
Are you aged between 13 – 25? Then Norfolk libraries need your help this summer. We are looking for volunteers to help with our Animal Agents Summer Reading Challenge that will take place at libraries across Norfolk. Volunteering sessions take place between the end of June and beginning of September, during the school holidays. We ask for a commitment of 2 hours per week although there can be scope to do more, depending on the activities which are running at your library.
Young volunteers are vital to supporting the Summer Reading Challenge within libraries. In Norfolk libraries we work with young volunteers to ensure that children taking part are encouraged to keep their reading skills up during the holidays.
Challenge Champions volunteer alongside library staff to do the following:
- Register young readers for the challenge
- Talk to children about reading and what the challenge involves
- Help children to select books by sharing reading recommendations
- Work with staff to prepare activities
- Use creative skills to assist with craft activities and preparing displays
Reading Hack allows volunteers to use their strongest skills and vary the core Challenge Champion role. As a Reading Hack volunteer, young people can get involved with activities such as:
- Setting up a reading group for young people
- Producing content to share on social media such as book reviews, reading recommendations and reports on what is happening within their library
- Holding a regular storytelling session
- Helping with activities taking place within the library
For more information on Reading Hack visit: www.readinghack.org.uk
If you are interested in helping out this summer, speak to staff at your local library or e-mail email@example.com to request an application pack.

One of the highlights of my recent camping trip to Fort Desoto Park was watching the antics of the Reddish Egret known to locals as "Big Red". The Reddish Egret is a medium size heron making its home in Central America, the Caribbean, and the gulf coast of the US and Mexico. In the US most of the estimated 1,500 nesting pair are found in Texas where it is classified as "threatened".
The reddish egret is considered one of the most active herons, and is often seen on the move. It stalks its prey visually in shallow water far more actively than other herons and egrets, frequently running energetically and using the shadow of its wings to reduce glare on the water once it is in position to spear a fish; the result is a fascinating dance. Due to its bold, rapacious yet graceful feeding behavior, author Pete Dunne nicknamed the reddish egret "the Tyrannosaurus Rex of the Flats".
Late one afternoon I made my way to the North Beach Lagoon to find Big Red and hopefully photograph him in the golden light of sunset. After some time I found him near the shore and positioned myself in the water with sun setting behind me. With only about 20 minutes till sunset, Big Red did not disappoint, putting on a real show.
Thanks for visiting and if you enjoy these photos please share,

WELSH head teacher Marjorie Evans, who endured an 18-month fight to clear her name after she was accused of slapping a 10-year-old boy, said yesterday she was not convinced that suing children was the right answer.
Mrs Evans, who was suspended from St Mary's Junior School in Caldicot throughout her ordeal, said teachers were now easy targets for malicious allegations.
She has recently been acquitted of slapping another child. She was reinstated two years ago after a legal battle to clear her name. She was originally given a prison sentence for assaulting a pupil which was overturned. She then had to wait for her disciplinary hearing to take place which also cleared her.
Mrs Evans said last night, "There has to be a deterrent but I am not sure that suing would solve the problem.
"I keep saying that something should be done and I think it is for all the different groups, teachers, police and social services to work together.
"I do not think it is about money, to be honest, it certainly wasn't with my case.
"I think maybe naming and shaming and some kind of record on the child's name to be kept while they are in school.
"But off the top of my head I am not too sure that suing would help the situation."

The Simmons College crew team returns to the water on Sunday, Oct. 5, at the Textile Regatta in Lowell, Mass. and they have been practicing hard to prepare.
"I was a bit nervous about how the team would look when they arrived on campus in September," said Coach Nikolay Kurmakov. "Would the team be motivated to stay in shape over the summer break? Would the team will be faster or slower than last year? Not everybody showed up in in top condition, but with some extra erg and weights workouts the group is getting up to speed quickly."
A captain of the team, Eva Weber believes the team is putting in their all.
"This year we're working really hard to have a strong team," said Weber. "Not just physically, but mentally as well."
The Sharks hope to come out fighting at each race this fall, especially the Seven Sisters Regatta in Wellesley, Mass, on Sunday, Oct. 26. Last year, Simmons placed third in the regatta.
"How well we do in that race will help us gauge how hard we will need to work in the winter in preparation for our spring season," said Weber.
The team will also row in two other regattas this fall, the Head of the Snake Regatta in Worcester, Mass. on Satuday, Oct. 11, and the Head of the Charles Regatta on Sunday, Oct. 19.
After the winter hiatus, Simmons crew will return on Saturday, April 4, for the UVM/Bates Event and will compete in several regattas through the spring season.
"The team is very young and has a lot of potential; every day I can see the improvement in technique and speed," said Coach Kurmakov. "The fall races are just around the corner and I am looking forward with optimism for strong races during the fall season."

text: IndieKylie Report Posted March 19, 2017 34. Wait (from Sleepwalker) Released along with the iconic short-film Sleepwalker, which accompanied her Kiss Me Once Tour as interlude visuals, Wait again shows us what an incredible pairing Kylie and Garibay are. Sleepwalker is arguably one of Kylie's most creative projects, presenting stunning visuals and strong lyrical content. Wait is the best song of the quartet, 'Burn high and bright, higher and higher you go…don't go away' Kylie sings as she transitions into the dreamy, light chorus over steady drum beats before declaring 'we wait, we're waiting'. This song is one most may not know, and if you don't, that is something you should remedy right away. Short film is below, Wait starts at 2:55.

OH My Gracious!
Are these two not just absolutely precious?!
Wednesday night was Bunco at our house and so Russ and GA went out for date night; which consisted of going to Olive Garden (where GA insisted on eating spaghetti and meatballs and green beans), getting me a Christmas present and looking at Christmas lights.
They had a ball and I loved hearing about every single detail....except when little miss keep no secrets bursts in to tell me exactly what I was getting for Christmas! It was too funny, though!
Here was our conversation:
Mommy: Hey, baby girl how was your date with daddy?
Mommy: Oh, you did.
GA: Mommy, mommy we got you a watch at the store!
(Secretly, I am terrible with surprises, so I was just a tad bit excited when I heard that I am getting what I asked Santa for Christmas this year! )
And in case you were wondering, Brother, was oohed and ahhed over at Bunco by my girl friends! He just can't hang out in the nightlife anymore...he is definitely schedule bound these days!

WATCH: Simon Cowell looks on in utter horror as Nicole Scherzinger STRADDLES protege Matt Terry
Simon Cowell's facial expression was priceless as he watched Nicole Scherzinger straddle Matt Terry on The X Factor last night.TJ Miller hits back at Silicon Valley actress' bullying claims: 'There was a disconnect'
Nicole was elated when her act Matt, 23, managed to escape the sing-off, and she appeared to jump on top of him in elation.
As the 38-year-old wrapped her legs round him the camera cut to head judge Simon, who was the picture of alarmed disapproval — though he still just about managed to shake Matt's hand as he headed to safety off stage.
Perhaps Nicole should have warned Simon she was planning on riding one of her acts, seeing as he is clearly of a delicate disposition.
Needless to say, Nicole did not jump on top of her other last remaining act Ryan Lawrie when he managed to get through to next week's round, as he's dating fellow contestant Emily Middlemas.
The excitable judge's antics come mere weeks after she revealed her thigh to Matt after the 'freakin' hot' youngster impressed her by 'oozing' and 'dripping with charisma and talent'.
No doubt former Pussycat Doll Nicole has learned that Bromley waiter Matt hasa crush on her which makes all this very slightly icky.
Seeing as her rival Cheryl Cole bagged a younger man in One Direction's Liam Payne, Nicole may be angling for a similar romance — though we must not forget she is dating someone.
Singleton Matt, who looks just like One Direction's Louis Tomlinson, is the hot favourite to win the competition and has been since the live shows kicked off.
Four Of Diamonds left last night's show after a sing-off against Saara Alto, and luckily we did not see Saara's mentor Sharon Osbourne straddling her when she was declared safe.
The X Factor continues on Saturday at 8pm on ITV

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell called in to ESPN Radio's "Mike and Mike" to give his first public comments on the Tom Brady ruling by Judge Richard Berman to uplift the four-game suspension for deflating footballs.
Goodell acknowledged that his current role of being the judge, jury and executioner for the NFL is "time consuming," and said that he has been in discussion with improving the discipline in the NFL, because he does not believe courts are where the discussions for player discipline should take place.
"From our standpoint, we want to get to a better discipline system," he said. "We're open to that and we have had several discussions with the union about how to do that. We have done that on the field over the last several years, and I think we've got a better system. We have done that in our drug and steroid program. I think we have a better system than we do before those changes. And I believe that we can do that here where we can come with changes whether they are a designated discipline officer or panel. Those things can help us get to a better place, and ultimately better decisions. Courts are not where we should be having these discussions."
Goodell then added, "I'm very to changing my role on that. It's become extremely time consuming, and I think I have to be focused on a variety of other issues and that's what I have discussed with the owners over the years. We believe that a discipline officer, some type of panel, that could make an initial decision and a designee of mine on some type of appeal would be a better system but we also have some resistance to a third-party arbitration. We believe the standards of the NFL are important to uphold; we believe you don't delegate that responsibility or those standards."

The Gift of the Magi and Other Communication Disasters
To me, it seems like they had a communications breakdown. One presumes that Della's hair was admired by Jim, and Jim's heirloom watch was valued by Della too. So, they got rid of something that was meaningful to the other partner. Did they have to buy something of material value in order to feel important, or could they have instead enjoyed a dream of their future as a gift instead?
Yes, yes, I know the whole point about the "wisdom of the magi" and how blessed Jim and Della are, and it's a very sweet story. But is it too much to ask for them talk to each other?
A worse version is the "Magi"- inspired episode of "Little House on the Prairie" (the TV show, not the books), where Pa spends a ton of effort making wagon wheels to sell to buy a saddle for Laura's horse, and Laura sells her horse to buy a stove for Ma. There were a lot of other convolutions in the story, but the characters actually come off as selfish, because they are unnecessarily sacrificing, almost as if it's to gain attention.
There is joy in giving. So why doesn't Laura let her whole family share in the joy of giving Ma the stove? Everyone could pitch in, make small sacrifices together, prepare for the surprise and make the gift as a loving family. Instead, she secretly sells the horse and gets the sole credit. This episode really annoys my mom too.
It can be very noble to give up something that's meaningful to you in order to care for someone else. Just choose wisely. And talk to each other.
Last month, Rugger Mom sent Q some delightfully illustrated books from Australia by Mem Fox. The pictures are gorgeous and Q loves to page through them, examining each lavishly detailed drawing.
There is one tale that reminds me of the Magi (really, this does tie together somehow). In the story, Koala Lou's mommy koala used to say, "I love you" all the time, but with all the new little brothers and sisters, Koala Lou doesn't get much attention any more. So Koala Lou decides to train for the Olympics, figuring that if she wins, her mother will say she loves her. She races, she loses, she comes home crying, and her mother says, "I love you." Huh.
I recognize that I'm over-interpreting, but it drives me nuts. Mother Koala, tell your baby you love her, and Koala Lou, ask your mother for a hug! (Please don't be offended, RuggerMom. We love the book because Q adores the pictures, and I get to say "I love you" lots and lots while reading it out loud.)
I'm unable to come up with a clever ending that summarizes the whole post (since these days, my friends who cut off their hair are donating it to make wigs for children with cancer, instead of selling it for cash), but I'll put in a plug for talking to those you love.
If you are worried, if you need help, please say something. It can be hard to do, but communication is really, really important.

As we are in the same boat as you guys I think we saw four movies in 06 - devil wears prada being one... I really enjoyed the movie... I need to figure out a way to get a job to comp my clothes... That would be a dream come true!
- bubandpie said...
Love this.
- Mayberry said...
Such a good point. Similarly (and much more facetiously) this is why most sitcoms are so annoying! I hate when they are based entirely on misunderstandings.
- Lady M said...
K Goose - yeah, comp'd clothes, plus someone to help me pick them!
Bubandpie - thanks!
Mayberry - Agreed - I can't stand the "overheard only part of a conversation and everything deteriorates from there" episodes of anything.
- Mamacita Tina said...
One of the pacts my husband and I made when we got married was to keep each other informed. It could be of upcoming events, worries, celebrations, fears/concerns, hurt feelings, but we talk out everything. Sometimes, he has to remind me that he can't read my mind, he's right, of course, and then I spill it.
- fourthbreakfast said...
Yes, the Little House on the Prairie episode bugs. As I've gotten older, I've realized that I have an obligation to communicate about how I'm doing. It's not a one way street where other people have to ask how I'm doing before I tell them. What's that story about shoemakers' wives going barefoot? Sometimes the closer you are, the less aware you are.
- Rugger Mom said...
Not offended at all. Glad we communicated. ;)

size unless the list of eligible households has been exhausted (Executive
Regulation 13-05AM)
Selection results are available after the drawing date has passed on the development details page accessed by clicking on the development name. Certificate numbers of qualifying households will be listed in the order in which they were randomly
selected. Households with the most priority points will be listed first. If your household size is not a match for the number of bedrooms in the MPDU, or if your loan pre-qualification amount is
less than the minimum, your certificate number will not be included in the selection list. Your number will be listed with other certificate numbers that have been disqualified from the drawing,
along with the reason(s). If an insufficient number of households of eligible size enters the drawing, or if the list of qualified households from the drawing is exhausted before all of the MPDUs
are sold, DHCA will send an e-mail to all MPDU certificate holders to advise that the minimum household size requirement has been lifted, and to provide certificate holders with the contact information
for the builder. At that point the MPDUs will be offered for sale to certificate holders on a first come, first serve basis. While smaller households will then have the opportunity to purchase the
MPDUs, households that entered the drawing but were disqualified due to household size will not receive priority.
A household must have valid MPDU certificate to enter a drawing. If a household has not submitted a completed application before a unit or development is listed on this website, they will not be
able to enter that drawing because their application cannot be reviewed and approved in time for the household to receive a certificate before the date of the drawing.

Cleanroom Certification
Scan tests are a critical component of any HEPA certification program. This test detects pinhole leaks in HEPA filters and housing frames. We can perform scan tests with an aerosol challenge, or with particle counters and ambient challenge, or polystryrene latex spheres. Other tests offered by Precision Air Technology are; airlows (CFM & velocity), airflow uniformity, room air changes, pressure differentials, particle counts, total penetration testing of HEPA housings, and a complete USP 797 compounding pharmacy certification.
At left is a Precision Air Technology technician taking particle counts in an ISO Class 5 cleanroom. Here he has two counters logging information from two locations with data being recorded in a computer. Taking counts is how cleanrooms are classified to the customer's standard. Most often this will follow the format of ISO or EU requirements. This is usually the last step of a certification, and not done until scan testing has been performed, air balancing has been completed, and room pressures meet the specification.

2016: on roller-coastersA trying year for the vintners, nonetheless ending with very nice wines.
After a devastating spring (frost, rain, diseases), the region enjoyed a very nice summer, as well as a sunny September. This resulted in very ripe wines, rather concentrated, with a "je ne sais quoi" underlying their elegance, charm, and soul ...A season everyone in the region will remember !Analyses and TastingsAll the NewsThe scope of the frost that hit Burgundy late April is unheard of in a very long time. One has to call on the « old guys » to remember something similar: perhaps in 1945 ? This dramatic start was confirmed when it appeared that secondary buds would not compensate at all ... And vineyards which at first appeared unscathed showed smaller and fewer berries than normal.
During a particularly humid month of May, a dawny mildew epidemic wreaked havoc. Certain vineyards seemed to literally "catch fire", with symptoms appearing in just 48 hours and reaching the grapes themselves. Usually, it is the leaves that take the hit. The vintner was under maximum pressure, and wondered even in June if he would be able to keep the diseases in check: powdery mildew also was beginning to pick up, who knew where it would end ?
Then, a miracle: rain stopped almost completely, and July was fair, August warm and sunny ...At the beginning, it was taken as a respite, a pause in that crazy run to disaster, enabling people and equipment to rest. But as a warm and dry summer went on, questions shifted nature: how should we protect the berries from sun burns, are the vines evolving slowly because of the lack of water, should we harvest sooner than we thought ? Slowly, another type of vintage, definitely warmer, was taking shape, and with it, our mood shifted.
The drought did not stop until late August. Even after that date, weather did not change much: it remained calm, temperatures were warm, and precipitations isolated, although sometimes abundant. Rain had been desired and indeed, it allowed the vineyards to restart the ripening process. But berries also increased in size (30 mm of rain in a few days just do not fall unnoticed), and it could have proved dangerous in the end if that messy weather had carried on. Fortunately, it was not the case, and with good weather back, concentration and ripening could resume.
In the end, harvest started on September 26th, in ideal conditions.
Harvesters picked very healthy grapes for the most part. There were one or two threatening episodes but in the end, no significant precipitations. It was a serene process, as much as this term can be used for a harvest ... But still, what a contrast compared to the agony we went through at the beginning of the year ! As if nature wanted to right itself ... Harvesting vineyards stricken by frost was indeed difficult: however few grapes there remained, they were difficult to find in vines which had regrown as bushes. A lot to do for a meagre result.
Wines are often at, or over 13,5° alc. and taste fully ripe.
Malo-lactic fermentations were quiet and un-eventful. They allowed the slightly aggressive finish felt after vinifications to mellow. The vintage has not turned too soft however, and acidities are at a good level, with pHs around 3.5, which shows a good balance.
A very good surprise: the deepness that is now evident in these wines. A character they acquired during summer and their second autumn ... Beyond an evident charm, showing through their caressing and very soft texture, a good structure is detectable. Many cuvées show nice length, with a spicy finish, mineral even, that was not expected of such a ripe vintage.
2016 is not far from the concentration of 2015 !
Who would have thought of such a result when we were so low at the end of June ?
A comparison with 2006 is possible: the vintage is in the shadow of the glorious 2005, nonetheless, it was a ripe vintage, harvested also at the end of September, and that never closed. We wish the same fate to 2016 !

DA NANG — The Rencontre du Viet Nam (Meet Viet Nam) organisation on Sunday presented 207 Odon Vallet scholarships worth over VND1.7 billion (US$81,700) to outstanding students in the central region of Viet Nam at a ceremony in Da Nang.
The beneficiaries included students living in difficulty or belonging to ethnic minority groups in the city and the central provinces of Quang Nam, Quang Ngai, Binh Dinh and Phu Yen.
The Odon Vallet scholarship fund came to Viet Nam via the "Meet Viet Nam" organisation founded by overseas Vietnamese Professor Tran Thanh Van.
Over the past 13 years, Professor Odon Vallet has spent his savings on scholarships for poor high school and university students in France and Viet Nam to encourage them to pursue their studies.
Since 2001, he has presented over 20,000 scholarships totaling more than VND100 billion ($4.7 million) to Vietnamese students.— VNS
