Description: The first four seconds of this influential Minneapolis trio's fifth album pretty much set the table: drum shots like an anxious heartbeat, then a sudden wall of fuzzy, high-treble electric-guitar noise. The choruses are occasionally catchy, especially on "The Girl Who Lives on Heaven Hill," but this is more like the intense Zen Arcade than more melodic later albums. (A rare pace change, the girl-obsessed "Books About UFOs" actually recalls Bruce Springsteen.) Bassist Greg Norton, who rarely gets mentioned in Hüsker reviews, sews together Bob Mould's power guitar, Grant Hart's head-banging beats, and general ... (more)

"Initially, Minneapolis's Hüsker Dü were pure hardcore noise, until Zen Arcade and then New Day Rising showed their burgeoning interest in hooks and melody. Magnificently, this only served to add to the intensity. Bob Mould has more space to howl here, and he uses it all. Standout track: "I Apologize""

As a project manager, it's my job to gently point out that even though the programmers claim that only one more minute of debugging is required, it's in fact next Thursday already and maybe we accept that success is not six minutes away, while simultaneously demonstrating to management that it was probably always going to take at least a month and here are some useful intermediate deliverables to play with. Despite all that, I have no more immunity to programmer syndrome than the next shmuck. For example, before I could start working in earnest I wanted a better workspace, so I built my own sitting/standing/walking desk.
That's been done for half a year, but I'm struggling to get started on the more direct aspects of the work. I'm trying to figure out what to do next. Naturally, I want to make a list of all the things I could do next (i.e., work breakdown) and then pick one. But I might as well use a professional work planning product to do this, so that I can see what the state of the art looks like, right, and get exposure to other solutions to this problem? Since I already use and like and pay for Toggl to keep track of my time, I decided to try a tool that integrates with Toggl: Pivotal Tracker.
Pivotal Tracker has a very standard Scrum implementation: the work comprises stories. Okay, so I have a story:
As someone with a bunch of old content in a niche format, I want my own website to publish my old stuff, so that other people will read it and learn from my experience.Or, from the perspective of those hypothetical other people (that's you!):
As a random person on the internet, I can see Joel's old blog posts on his blog, aufrecht.org, so that I can read something that I found in search results or found or was sent a link to.In my head, this breaks down as:
Rebuild personal website
- Select Tools
- Pick Language
- Long story short, it's Python
- Pick Platform - Django
- Long story short, it's Django
- Pick CMS
- Make a list of possible CMSes
- Look for easy ways to rank CMSes
- Try out all of the candidate CMSes on their demo sites
- Create a list of test tasks
- Try all test tasks on each candidate CMS demo
- Migrate everything from the old aufrecht.org
- Get the most recent backup is
- Figure out how to preserve all of the old URLs
- etc
- Migrate everything from this temporary Blogger site
- etc
- Etc
By the time one gets to something small enough to actually do in a sitting, one is at least five levels deep. But Pivotal Tracker doesn't really have that many levels. At most, it can do
- Project
- Epic
- Story
- Task
One approach to task breakdown is to outline everything as deeply as necessary until the lowest-level tasks are small enough to plan and track and complete. The counter-approach, embodied in Pivotal Tracker and in Scrum itself, is I guess that work breakdown should be fairly shallow, under the theory that one can go nuts drilling down infinitely but at some point one simply has to start working, and being a bit imperfect in modeling the work breakdown is a reasonable compromise. I tend toward the recursive approach but then, upon reflection, I just had to stop myself from checking on how to get a better monospace font into this blog entry which is a diversion from doing the work breakdown necessary I think is necessary to take the first concrete steps toward building a website that I will ultimately use both for postings like this and to prototype my theories of a work planning tool. So I'm not in a strong position to argue the merits of the infinitely recursive approach, or to argue about where the line is between indefinitely recursive work breakdown and pure, unadulterated procrastination. Also, while I'm at my Sit/Stand/Walking desk, it's currently in Sit mode.
Anyway, I made the Pivotal project public and you can follow my struggles here.

Do you recognize this first grader?
Yes, that is me way back in 1965! I attended first grade at Linden Hills Elementary School in St. Louis Park, Minnesota. I attended junior and senior high school in Watertown, Minnesota. I started my college education (after getting married and having two daughters) at Moorhead State University and then did the majority of my undergrad studies at Mankato State University.
I have been teaching at Kennedy Elementary my entire teaching career. This will be my 26th year! I thoroughly enjoy when former students connect and share their memories and their current life stories. Just a few weeks ago, a former student connected when she was shopping and saw Mr. Sketch markers that I had used in class way back one of my very first years. She had a flashback to share. Fun!


text:
So last week I had the pleasure of making a special image for some good friends of mine. I shot their wedding a couple years ago and it was rad being able to share in this new chapter of their lives.
They had asked me to help them make a Baby announcement using a sparkler to write out the words in the air. I have done stuff like this in the past but nothing of this size. Doing some research online I found a lot of information on different techniques and how-to's but the ones I saw all tried to complete the image in one go. To me this seemed strange and way harder than it had to be. I realized getting it all done in one frame instead of the composite in some instances would be the best way, but for a job like this I figured I would go with the composite route.
Here is what we used and a couple of tips:
1. Nikon D810 on a tripod
2. Long lasting sparklers and a GOOD lighter
3. A flashlight to help the camera focus in the low to no light before taking the image. You could also hold up a phone or some sort of light for the camera to see. After getting focus in the desired area, I turned off the auto-focus so it would not try and refocus every frame.
4. PATIENCE... these things can take time, so don't get frustrated if you are not getting what you want on the back of the camera. Take a breath and think about what you need to do with either your camera or set to get what you need. And take more images then you think you will need. Better safe then sorry, especially with composites.
5. A marker and a piece of paper to draw out what you want the sparkler to say. Remember the person who writes the words in the air has to do them backwords for the camera... so it helps to have a little practice and to visualize what you want it to look like.
Below you will see the process and at the end our final image....

I take cymbalta x2 30mg morning and night and its working only when I take the pill at night I feel relief of mood at morning I feel low and little depressed and no relief why this?
Med work only at night?

Today I have taken 60mg 2 pills of 30mg and still feel depressed ;(
How long have you been taking the Cymbalta?
4 Weeks
Hi. Cymbalta I used for about a year. It took a while. None of these antidepressant medications cure you. What they do is give you better balance so that you can work on what is happening in your life and develop better coping skills. You know, so those thoughts do not swirl away in our heads all the time. Working with a therapist helps smooth this out. My guess is that since you are at 4 weeks, this medication is starting to really work. I found that a week or two later I was feeling much better, I had more energy and was willing to tackle more in my life. Calmer and thoughtful not full of thoughts.
I was recently reminded that the best way to feel good in the morning is not to jump out of bed. Start with stretching your body, arms over the head, then knees to chest. This slows the awakening, gets the blood flow going and gets some energy flowing. During the day also put on a smile. Fake is fine. The more you do it the better you feel. The muscles have a memory of laughing and happiness when we do this. The brain says happy. You will actually feel good. And finally, find any opportunity to laugh. Whatever tickles your fancy. As you start doing these easy tasks, you will notice later that you do feel better. And isn't that better than relying on a chemical for all of it? Add it to a good therapist, your interest in life will grow. The process isn't instant, maybe you journal and can keep track. But one day you are going to wake up and have a really good day. Sometimes a bad one. That is how life is. You will be fine. Write if you wish, Karen
I felt a lot of energy more positive more social a lot cofindence and now I feel bad :( how u take ur med morning or night?
Night.it seemed sedating and getting a good sleep is a great idea. Since I wasn't sleeping that well before, I had a lot of catching up to do. Exhaustion from anxiety and depression takes a while to adjust.
Remember that we all have bad days. They don't disappear. They just become part of life, not the focus. If you start counting days, you will become miserable as you will be anxious every morning. Are you sure you want that? If it isn't boiling hot where you are, take a walk. Or go to a Mall to walk and stimulate your mind. Humans are very poor at worrying and walking and looking at stuff. Go look at stuff, as my friend would say. You will be better. Karen
Fatigue and frequent yawning are side effects of Duloxetine (Cymbalta). If you are confident that these feelings you have in the morning are due to the medication, maybe then they are side effects of the evening dose and you feel depressed because of a lack of energy? Do these feelings go away after some hours? Maybe try to take the evening dose about the same amount of time earlier then.
However, for some people it is normal that depression and anxiety are worse in the morning and the mood gets better in the evening. (The day's challenges lie still ahead in the morning and the mechanisms you use to repress your worries and fight through your day are not yet fully in place.)
You can try Venlafaxine as well, which works in a similar way as Duloxetine but had a lower drop-out rate with respect to side effects in some trials...
Both drugs also may increase anxiety (esp. in the beginning of the therapy), probably due to their inhibition of norepinephrine reuptake. There are other drugs like Sertraline (Zoloft), which may work better, if you feel you have that kind of side effect.
I took Cymbalta for awhile. After 4 weeks it seemed to be making me depressed. My doctor asked me to stay on it for another month and I did try but after another 2 weeks (6 weeks total) the depression just got worse the longer I was on it. If you keep getting more depressed instead of feeling better than you should talk to your doctor.
Cymbalta and any other SSNRI antidepressant can cause depression in some people.
Take care
I'm on week four and feel depressed but the anxiety gone maybe ill wait

The Problems With Pasteurization and Milk
Within the last year or so, I've noticed a huge push by the dairy industry promoting the benefits of consuming dairy products among teenagers and athletes.
It's so bad now that you can't go to a movie without being subjected to 6-10 quick clips with the message "Milk makes you strong!". It's very annoying and that's one of it's one of the biggest reasons why kids and their parents believe that milk and dairy actually do your body good.
But nothing could be farther from the truth!
Especially, when talking about commercially available dairy which is pasteurized and homogenized, and which provides little benefit to the human body.
There are many proponents of raw milk (I'm still not one of them) but considering how rare raw milk really is there's really no point in talking about it.
Instead, we're going to discuss the milk and dairy that you have access to in the grocery store.
The Problem with Pasteurization
Pasteurization is not intended to kill all pathogenic micro-organisms in milk. Instead, pasteurization aims to reduce the number of viable pathogens so they are unlikely to cause disease (assuming the pasteurization product is refrigerated and consumed before its expiration date).
Pasteurization typically uses temperatures below boiling since at very high temperatures milk, casein (protein) micelles will curdle.
Nonetheless, the heat used is well above 118 degrees Fahrenheit which inherently destroys any potential value raw milk could provide.
While the dairy industry is passing off pasteurized milk as being wholesome and healthy, it is far from that. Studies have shown mounting evidence that commercial, pasteurized milk may play a role in a variety of health problems, including: diabetes, prostate cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, atherosclerosis, anemia, MS, leukemia and ovarian cancer.
There are dozens of reports and studies on pasteurized milk, most of them highly unfavorable. The main focus of the published reports seems to be on the health issues that commercial, pasteurized milk causes such as: intestinal colic, intestinal irritation, intestinal bleeding, anemia, allergic and sinus problems, and salmonella. Contamination of milk by blood and white (pus) cells as well as a variety of hormones, chemicals and insecticides is a big cause for concern.
Raw milk sours naturally, but pasteurized milk turns putrid and thus manufactures must remove the slime and pus from pasteurized milk through centrifugal clarification.
Furthermore, inspection of dairy herds for disease is not even required for pasteurized milk.
I don't know about you but I surely don't want to be drinking milk from an infected cow!
I've recently developed a real appreciation for cows and I love seeing them as they were meant to be – grazing off the land – not confined in cubicle-like barns being subjected to the nasties of big business!
On the topic of pasteurization (and for that matter heating any food), according to Sally Fallon of the Weston Price Foundation:
"Heat alters milk's amino acids, lysine and tyrosine, making the whole complex of proteins less available; it promotes rancidity of unsaturated fatty acids and destruction of vitamins. Vitamin C loss in pasteurization usually exceeds 50 percent; loss of other water-soluble vitamins can run as high as 80 percent. Pasteurization alters milk's mineral components such as calcium, chlorine, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and sulphur as well as many trace minerals, making them less available. There is some evidence that pasteurization alters lactose, making it more readily absorbable."
If heat does this to milk, just imagine what heating other foods does.
That's just one of the reasons for following more of a raw food diet.
Development of Allergies
When milk is pasteurized, the delicate protein molecules are changed, making them much harder for our bodies to break down and digest. Pasteurized milk then puts an unnecessary strain on the pancreas to produce digestive enzymes to break this down.
This may be partly the reason why milk consumption has been linked with diabetes. It is also the reason behind many milk allergies. It is the protein portion-the casein-that becomes difficult to digest after pasteurization, thus causing reactions.
Like any dead enzyme-void food, pasteurized milk, puts an enormous strain on your body's digestive system. In many cases, those with milk intolerance, leaky gut, or compromised digestion, these protein molecules pass through the intestinal walls into the blood stream, not fully digested.
This is the first step in the development of allergies and a host of other systemic problems such as auto-immune disorders.
Last but not least, pasteurization destroys all of the active and healthy enzymes in milk-in fact, the test for successful pasteurization is absence of enzymes.
These enzymes help the body break down and assimilate all the healthy nutrients in milk, including calcium. That is why those who drink pasteurized milk may suffer, nevertheless, from osteoporosis.
The calcium in milk is simply not utilized very well.
To hit home the problem with pasteurization, calves (baby cows) fed pasteurized milk die before maturity!
Hey, if cows die when they consume dead milk, why would humans be any different?

Diabetes is focus of Indiana, Nevada initiatives
INDIANAPOLIS and LAS VEGAS Eli Lilly and the Indiana Health Industry Forum will hold a summit on Nov. 13 called, "Building on Indiana's Strength in Diabetes Research, Diagnostics, and Therapeutics," to focus on the development of better therapies and diagnostic technologies for the prevention and management of diabetes.
The IHIF is a not-for-profit organization that works to define factors that can lead to economic development success in healthcare for Indiana and then build programs that support the future of the industry in the state.
The summit will be used to connect Indiana resources for the development of diabetes treatments and diagnostics, as well as identify business collaborations. In addition to attendees from academia and pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, representatives from Indiana state government, venture capital concerns, clinical research organizations, research service companies and advocacy groups will attend.
Also, today in Nevada, Health Innovations, the Nevada Health Care Coalition and Sanofi-Aventis released a new report on the demographics, costs and quality of care for people with Type 2 diabetes.
The Nevada Type 2 Diabetes Report for 2007 gives an overview of patient demographics, hospital and provider charges, and utilization of clinical services and drug therapy for people with Type 2 Diabetes in key local markets in the state of Nevada. The report also provides benchmarks from Phoenix as well as national benchmarks that can help employers and providers better identify opportunities to serve the needs of people with Type 2 diabetes.
Makers of insulin pumps, glucose monitors modernize design
MINNEAPOLIS New gadgets are hitting or about to hit the market that will take glucose monitoring into this century, according to businessweek.com.
One of these items is a, Paradigm Real-Time System, a glucose monitor made by Medtronic. The device attaches to a patients' belt, which is connected to a needle that is lodged in the skin of the abdomen. The monitor measures the levels up to 288 times per day.
Another diabetes testing unit is called the GlucoPhone; the Food and Drug Administration recently approved it. The glucose meter attaches to some LG electronics and Motorola phones. The phone displays the results after the patient inserts a strip into it.
The move for these new innovative products came as a way to satisfy customers and increase proper diabetic testing. A recent study by Italian researchers showed that patients using the PRT System experienced 70 percent less therapy-related dissatisfaction than those who repeatedly inject themselves.
Court rules that Washington state pharmacists may deny Plan B
TACOMA, Wash. A federal judge here on Wednesday ruled in favor of a pharmacist's right to "refuse and refer" the dispensing of any prescription for the emergency contraceptive Plan B, effectively overruling a state mandate that pharmacists in the state of Washington not decline to dispense a prescription drug based on moral beliefs unless there was a pharmacist coworker present who would adjudicate the prescription.
"The defendants [the state of Washington] are enjoined from enforcing [the anti-discrimination provisions of the new ruling enacted July 26] against any pharmacy which, or pharmacist who, refuses to dispense Plan B but instead immediately refers the patient either to the nearest source of Plan B or to a nearby source for Plan B," concluded Judge Ronald Leighton of the U.S. District Court in his decision.
"Whether or not Plan B … terminates a pregnancy, to those who believe that life begins at conception, the drug is designed to terminate a life," the judge wrote. "[The regulations] appear designed to impose a Hobson's choice for the majority of pharmacists who object to Plan B: dispense a drug that ends a life as defined by their religious teachings, or leave their present positions in the state of Washington."
The suit was filed by two individual pharmacists and the grocer Ralph's Thriftway, which operates two supermarkets, one day before the state enacted its regulation this summer. Prior to the adoption of the regulations, Ralph's Thriftway had been the object of a boycott organized by persons protesting the grocer's refusal to stock Plan B. Both the store and the pharmacy manager were subsequently investigated by the Washington State Board of Pharmacy for allegedly failing to maintain an adequate stock of medicines. The Board later initiated an additional investigation in response to allegations that Ralph's Thriftway violated pharmacy regulations by not stocking Plan B.
The American Pharmacists Association supports a pharmacist's right to refuse and refer, but recognizing the central role of many pharmacists to the local health care system, the association emphasizes that those patients refused a prescription ought to be directed to a pharmacy or pharmacist that will fill that prescription in a timely manner.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should reconsider his decision to accept a politically motivated invitation to speak to the U.S. Congress on March 3. Going through with it may inflict more damage to the Israeli cause in this country than all the vicious propaganda continually issued by Israel's many foes.
The most harmful prospect is that his appearance in Congress will undermine support for Israel, not only on Capitol Hill and inside the Beltway, but in the country at large.
Israel's great diplomatic success in forging strong ties with the United States is founded on the principle of bipartisanship. Democrats and Republicans alike boast of having a pro-Israeli voting record, and consistently court voters who support Israel. Few other countries or causes can claim Israel's great measure of success in this regard.
Yet by accepting an invitation from Republican House Speaker John Boehner to speak to Congress two weeks before an Israeli election, Mr. Netanyahu is undermining the bipartisan principle. Mr. Boehner ignored customary diplomatic protocol in extending the invitation without informing the White House, a cynical ploy designed as both a poke in the eye at the president and an attempt to win political points for Republicans.
The Israeli public and news media are divided over the wisdom of the prime minister's move, but on one thing the great majority seems to agree: Mr. Netanyahu leaped at it because a statesmanlike speech to a joint session of Congress would make him look good to voters back home just prior to the election in which he is seeking a fourth term.
We do not doubt for a moment that Mr. Netanyahu sincerely believes that the threat Israel faces from Iran is too great to be ignored, and that he has an obligation to seize every opportunity to give voice to that view no matter whose political toes he steps on. But surely it is not in Israel's national interest to alienate one of the two major political parties in this country, nor to add to his political differences with the president of the United States. On Monday, Mr. Obama said that to meet with the prime minister would break protocol because of the timing of Israeli elections, so he won't.
In this instance, Netanyahu's acceptance represents a miscalculation of the first order. Israel's differences with the White House on the topic of how to respond to the Iranian threat are well known. And his views are shared, to a degree, by many prominent Democrats.
But is it really wise for the prime minister of Israel to willingly take part in a political charade orchestrated by GOP leaders on Capitol Hill designed to embarrass President Obama? How many additional votes is that going to win for Israel in Congress?
Mr. Netanyahu is no dummy. He is cognizant of the political role he is playing. If his objective is to appear statesmanlike, it's likely to backfire. Custom calls for both the speaker of the House and the vice president of the United States to form a backdrop behind those who address a joint session of Congress. Mr. Boehner, of course, will be there, but Vice President Joe Biden has already said he will not attend because the White House was not officially informed of this event beforehand in violation of custom and courtesy, and because it's too close to an Israeli election.
Mr. Netanyahu and Mr. Obama may have their differences. But Israel has no better friend in Washington than Joe Biden. His absence is yet one more reason that Israel's prime minister should reconsider his unwise decision.

Ola Vitro,
Great crop and bookmarker format. The way these two pints touch each other suggests a pair of lovers :)
On the other hand I think you should have waited for these pints to settle.

Protection Systems
Glassmarque's protection system is lightweight, non-ferrous, easily removable and has a full perimeter ventilated frame. Traditional systems lack any form of ventilation and this causes damage when heat builds up against the glass. We use no mastics, silicones or iron fittings which can cause staining to stone or brick and make windows difficult to remove for maintenance. Our team are experts in installing to brick and stonework in churches and listed buildings. The finished system looks attractive from the exterior and does not detract from the beauty of the building.

Quantifying sources of black carbon in western North America using observationally based analysis and an emission tagging technique in the Community Atmosphere Model
The Community Atmosphere Model (CAM5), equipped with a technique to tag black carbon (BC) emissions by source regions and types, has been employed to establish source–receptor relationships for atmospheric BC and its deposition to snow over western North America. The CAM5 simulation was conducted with meteorological fields constrained by reanalysis for year 2013 when measurements of BC in both near-surface air and snow are available for model evaluation. We find that CAM5 has a significant low bias in predicted mixing ratios of BC in snow but only a small low bias in predicted atmospheric concentrations over northwestern USA and western Canada. Even with a strong low bias in snow mixing ratios, radiative transfer calculations show that the BC-in-snow darkening effect is substantially larger than the BC dimming effect at the surface by atmospheric BC. Local sources contribute more to near-surface atmospheric BC and to deposition than distant sources, while the latter are more important in the middle and upper troposphere where wet removal is relatively weak. Fossil fuel (FF) is the dominant source type for total column BC burden over the two regions. FF is also the dominant local source type for BC column burden, deposition, and near-surface BC, whilemore »

The model, based on attachment theory, posits that developing strong early relationships with caregivers is the key to healthy social, emotional, behavioral, language, and cognitive development in children. The program aims to foster parent- and caregiver-child relationships by helping parents and caregivers read and understand child cues and the unmet need behind challenging behaviors, and supporting parents' use of sensitive and responsive caregiving behaviors.
PFR can be implemented with parents in the home or in other settings, and with early childhood teachers and providers. Regardless of setting or type of caregiver, PFR involves providing feedback based on video recordings of parent/caregiver interactions with children.
When PFR is implemented with parents in the home, the home visitor makes video recordings of the parent interacting with their child at home, and the home visitor and parent view and reflect on the recordings. The home visitor highlights positive interactions observed and offers instructive comments to enhance caregiving. The home visitor also helps the parent reflect on both their and their child's behavior, feelings, and needs during the interaction. In addition, PFR provides parents with information, including handouts, on the social and emotional needs of infants and toddlers, and strategies to meet these needs. The home visitor and the parent discuss ways to handle challenging behaviors and explore the parent's own social-emotional development and how that influences their caregiving.
PFR targets parents and caregivers of children ages birth to 3 years.

Longji Rice Terraces
For the farmers who reside in the Longji region of Southern China the soaring rice terraces are simply a way of life. For the thousands of annual visitors who make the two-hour journey from the city of Guilin, however, the Longji rice terraces are an iconic symbol of Chinese agriculture and one of the most photographed sites in the country.
Here in Longji, layer upon layer of cultivated terraces stretch skywards on steep slopes, at some points they slope at over 50° angles. Despite the dramatic grades of the mountainside, however, traditional Chinese rice farmers have managed to sculpt the hillside into orderly terraces which annually yield massive harvests of rice. Though there really isn't a bad season to visit the Longji rice terraces, the early summer months of May and June are popular for photographers as this is the time of year when the terraces are irrigated and cast a mirrored effect which crawls up the walls of the valleys.

A Dad and Daughter's Semana Santa Adventure
I'm not going to lie, it has been hard for me to think back to Semana Santa because it ended in heartbreak, and almost two months later, I am still trying to heal.
Nevertheless, this Holy Week was going to be a special one because my dad was making his very first European debut. I planned a grand Spanish tour to show him the beauty of this country that will forever be my second home.
My dad's trip began with flight delays, missed connections, and dreaded lost baggage. (I will never forget forcing my father into skinny European pants in Zara in an attempt to replenish his wardrobe that possibly wouldn't be arriving in time before our train to Seville.) Fortunately, the bag did arrive a few days later, but bad luck followed as my dad suffered from nasty allergies in the land of sweet smelling Spring orange blossoms. The allergies, however couldn't overshadow a pinched nerve that made walking painful. All that and my dad kept pushing through with a positive attitude, a true lesson in optimism.
After a few days in Madrid, we took the sleek and smooth high-speed train to Seville, where we immediately picked up our rental car. We pushed further south to explore the White Villages of Andalucía, something I had been dreaming of crossing off my Spanish Bucket List for years. The towns were bright beacons on the horizon, snug atop hills under cerulean skies. After dizzying drives along twisting narrow roads, we dove into plates of tapas and tasted flavorful sheep cheese at roadside stands.
The part with the most encanto, was our quaint hotel in Ronda. Awakening to church bells right outside our window gave the already memorable city even more charm.
Then it was back to Sevilla for the famous Semana Santa processions. The city was pure locura. My Airbnb choice in the heart of the madness made maneuvering the labyrinth-like streets extremely difficult. Shame on me; This was not my first rodeo in Sevilla during Semana Santa.
The beauty of the first Spanish city I called home speaks for itself. I was content knowing that my dad was able to see the setting for a life of Spanish adventures I promised myself years ago.
An special treat was my dad getting to meet my Spanish family. For the first time since I lived with them along the Guadalquivir River ten years prior, and in all my quick stops back in Seville, everyone was home. I even got to see Lola, Manolo's now 12-year-old daughter. I made her laugh telling her how much I liked talking to her back when she was a mere two-year-old because we just about had the same Spanish vocabulary.
After Sevilla, we flew up to Bilbao in the North of Spain, where Filippo picked us up and took us to San Sebastián. If blessed with good weather in this infamously rainy Basque city, it's easily one of the jewels of Spain. We showed my dad our favorites places around San Sebastián and French Basque Country, sipped beers in the sun along La Concha, threw back pintxos in Barrio Gros for Thursday night Pintxo Pote, and simply took in stunning views of the sea.
There was so much beauty— and I'm reminding myself that there was so much beauty in all my trips to the North this year.
And in the end, all I can say is that I have so much gratitude for my dad— for his presence when a daughter needed her father the most.
Back in Madrid, the tour forged ahead amidst the tears. I only hope that I did Madrid justice, as I hope I did it all justice and that my dad cherishes his well-deserved Spanish adventure with his daughter. I sure do.
It was so wonderful to meet up with you again and meet your dad! Sending hugs!May 22, 2015

Images from the Centre for Research Collections at the University of Edinburgh
Collection Title: Centre for Research Collections/Main Library
Source: University of Edinburgh
Licence for metadata: CC0
Licence for Content: CC BY
Data Format: Image
Metadata Format: EDM (Europeana Data Model)
How Accessed: Europeana Portal
The University of Edinburgh library contributed 16 distinct datasets to the Europeana Cloud. These collections sit on our local imaging platform at http://images.is.ed.ac.uk, and using a Dublin Core crosswalk, we were able to serve them up to be harvested.
The items within the collections can be anything that our Centre for Research Collections holds, as digitization is often informed by orders made by readers of or vast quantity hold. This is not always the case, of course- we hold 35km worth of manuscripts, rare books archives and museum objects, and a good number of these have not needed readers' requests to make it obvious they need to be digitized! It would take a lifetime to digitize everything, though, so whatever we give can only ever be a snapshot.
From a researcher's point of view, those interested in the fields of Literature, Divinity, Theology, Islamic Studies and Art will find masses of interesting content within these collections. The datasets that we made available were:
The 19th century photography of Robert Adamson and David Octavius Hill, among the first users of the calotype technique. This is a fascinating collection for anyone with interests in early photography.
Oriental Manuscripts, including the C14 Rashid al-din's World History, the rare Ragamala Paintings, and Al-Biruni's C14 Chronicle of Ancient Nations.
Ragamala Paintings
University of Edinburgh, CC-BY
University of Edinburgh- People, Places and Events- a collection of images directly related to the University- old and new!
Engravings from Walter Scott's novels- fascinating for literary enthusiasts and those keen on Scottish history.
Western mediaeval manuscripts including Scotland's oldest book, the C.11 Celtic psalter
Incunabula images, i.e. images from books from the infancy of printing, prior to 1500.
Some images documenting life in St Kilda from the turn of the 20th century- these have come from the School of Scottish Studies.
Images from our genetics area at the Roslin Institute, where Dolly the Sheep was 'born'!
Whaling scenes from the Christian Salvesen whaling company.
Architectural Drawings by Playfair and Anderson, showing the genesis of many buildings in Edinburgh (including the University).
Pages from pre-1660 versions of Shakespeare's plays.
Images from the archive of the Victorian collector David Laing.
Images of theology related items, from New College.
Portraits of Medical Men collected by John William Thomson Walker.
Some highlights from one of our older exhibitions- Object Lessons- which gave a good idea of the holdings of the University's museums collections, including Art and Musical Instruments. This last collection is also in Europeana, courtesy of the MIMO project, 2011.
The whole of our CRC Gallimaufry collection, which is basically just a repository of everything else, unthemed! There is a broad range in here including maps, zoological drawings, engravings and so forth.
Forth Bridge Works

We wanted to make this material available to the wider world, and drive users back to us through Europeana because it is not always that easy to publicise our own repositories. We are conscious, of course, that Europeana is an ocean of content, and it is not easy to get noticed! To that end, we are trying to better describe our collections with more tags and subject fields so that they show up better in searches and facet lists. The fact that Europeana can reharvest our data as we improve it definitely makes life easier for us.
A lot of consideration was taken as to which collections we were comfortable putting out to Europeana. Copyright is particularly sensitive on a number of our collections- for example our Art collections, and collections of students' work where the protagonists have moved on- but we feel fairly confident that everything we've given Europeana can safely carry the given licence.

Very quiet trail, usually only see about 2 or 3 people each time I go there. My dog loves it and there's a few areas that are just a huge field so I usually bring the brisbee!
Can get pretty windy near the water some days (if you choose to add on Poor's farm road to your hike) but it's beautiful!
Great walk for humans and their furry companions! Suitable for older children. Close to the city. Costly Farm section not groomed, though the rest of the trails seem to be primarily gravel.
Beautiful scenery, not overly busy, quite ! Trails aren't "perfect" and you can definitely get muddy. My four legged friend and I had a blast though
Great spot to walk the dog
I am surprised with 2 stars on these trails. Some of the trails are bike friendly, but most of them north of salt marsh are not. It is on leash for dogs & for difficulty I would say easy to moderate. Moderate portion is North of Salt Marsh trail. I really enjoy these trails, but they are located in my area. I would not drive from Halifax for this trail.
Great Sunday afternoon walk with the kids. A few hills but the path is crusher dust so easy to push a stroller on it. Some wildlife the day we were there lots of birds and a few deer. The trail travels through an open field then through some woods then opens up again with nice views of the Atlantic Ocean, Musquodoboit Harbour.
Please ignore my review, i posted on the wrong trail. Never been on this one. Sorry.
Unlike the atlantic view and the shearwater flyer trails this one isn't suitable for a road bike. I made it but it wasn't easy.

FORMASHIELD™ Formaldehyde-Abatement Technology
Breathe Easy with FORMASHIELD™ Formaldehyde-Abatement Technology
It's a coatings industry first: a binder technology for latex paint that can actually help remove harmful formaldehyde from indoor air. FORMASHIELD™ Formaldehyde-Abatement Technology begins working as soon as paint is applied. It continues to work after paint dries. It's a breakthrough that doesn't just reduce paint's impact on indoor air quality — it actively helps improve it.
The Smart Coating for Improving Indoor Air Quality
A significant contributor to indoor air pollution is Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). VOCs are airborne chemicals found in building and household products. As VOCs are released into the air, they're inhaled. One of the most prevalent and most dangerous VOCs is formaldehyde, a known carcinogen. Carpets, furniture, cabinetry, drapery and insulation are common household items made with glues and adhesives that emit formaldehyde. Exposure is known to cause a range of health effects, including:
- Eye, nose and throat irritation
- Wheezing and coughing
- Fatigue
- Skin rash
- Severe allergic reactions
As people spend more time indoors and buildings are more tightly sealed to improve energy efficiency, there is growing concern about formaldehyde buildup in indoor air.
How It Works
FORMASHIELD™ Technology employs a functional monomer that facilitates interaction between paint on the wall and formaldehyde in the air. The monomer bonds with the formaldehyde and transforms it into harmless vapor.
A Visible Difference
The efficacy of FORMASHIELD™ Technology has been proven over years of laboratory testing, across varying formulations, environmental conditions and formaldehyde levels. These tests have been conducted in accordance with established standards, such as ISO-16000, ASTM-D5116 and JC/T 1074-2008.
It is the only known paint technology that achieves greater than 80% efficiency, based on the China Building and Construction Industrial Standard JC/T1074-2008 – Purifying Performance of Coatings for Walls with Air Purification. China established the world's most rigorous standard in response to growing concern over the health effects of formaldehyde exposure in homes, schools and other indoor settings.
Sustainability Benefits
Novel technology platforms, such as FORMASHIELD™ Formaldehyde-Abatement Technology, demonstrate Dow's ongoing commitment to innovations that support more sustainable solutions and help meet green building standards. Through formaldehyde abatement, FORMASHIELD™ Technology actively works to improve indoor air quality and create a healthier build environment.

Jon and Chancy first met in high school. Chancy had a secret crush on the tall red headed boy, but he didn't seem to notice her. Long after the two donned graduation caps and went off to separate colleges, his memory still followed Chancy. In late night chats with her roommate, she shared giggles and secrets, and Chancy talked of the boy she used to love, and maybe still did. And, then one day, something very unexpected happened. Jon reached out to Chancy through Facebook. As it turned out, he had been thinking of her, too. Quite unbeknownst to her, she had stayed in his memory and thoughts until he found the courage to reconnect. The two finally started dating and the rest was easy.
On June 18, 2016, Jon and Chancy were married in a small country church, St. Peter & Paul Catholic (Krakow), the same church Chancy's parents had married in many years earlier. The summer day was beautiful, perfect for a wedding. Surrounded by their family and friends and with great joy, Jon and Chancy became husband and wife. The festivities that evening ended with much celebration, Polish music and dancing at the Silver Creek Hall, but for Jon and Chancy, their story goes on, with a new chapter just waiting to be written.

Happy Sunday!
I'm not by the sea, but it's raining here. I can't see the sun behind the clouds but I know it there shining bright for someone else to see. There are no jasmines for to smell but just being able to breath the air means I'm alive and thankful to see another day!
Hugs and love from me to you. Valarie
What Do You See?
Even though land seems to be in the middle of nowhere, I see a beautiful sky full of clouds with the sun's light radiating through and between them. The ground to the left has been prepared to yield crops in its season. The field to the right has the potential to produce an abundant harvest as well. But for right now, it's carpeted by grass and inviting passerby's to sit, lay back and enjoy the view even picnic. A road well-travelled that says all are welcome! I see openness, potential, beauty, endless possibilities, peace, transformation, inspiration and a beautiful canvas to dream about the future.
What do you see?
Hugs and love from me to you! Valarie
A smile is like a beautiful flower, it can transform everything around it!
Hugs and Love from me to you! Valarie

"Why do you like Samantha, Nicholas?"
He shrugs his shoulders, fidgets a little and says, "I just do!"
"Samantha, why do you like Nicholas?"
She giggles, "I don't know…because, because," playing with her fingers, " I just do!"
Is there a reason why they like each other? Or, maybe it's as simple as they just do. No reason necessary.

The Vikings have something to play for because they could lose the No. 2 seed to the Panthers. They should do well against Mitchell Trubisky at home.
- Baltimore Ravens (vs. Bengals)
The Ravens should be able to beat the Bengals, though they'll be risky if Vontaze Burfict plays.
- Tennessee Titans (vs. Jaguars)
The Titans aren't really my fifth choice, but they're my favorite team that I still have available. The Jaguars are locked into the No. 3 seed, so they could be sitting their starters.

2017 NFL Survivor Week 17: Trap of the Week
Denver Broncos (vs. Chiefs)
The Chiefs are locked into the fourth seed. They'll be resting their starters. Denver is favored by 3.5 points. Some might think about taking the Broncos, but I would not do that, as I'm not convinced their starters are better than the Chiefs' reserves. I actually have Kansas City winning on my NFL Picks page.

Philosopher's Stone of the Candy Crush World Order
By: Jay Dyer
As I wander through the infinite data stream, I find myself more and more struck with the utterly synthetic, pseudo-intellectual, nihilistic character of it all. Just ten years ago, most people I knew bought books and actually read them. There's a certain discipline and aesthetic experience involved in reading, and then chewing and digesting a book, something akin to a mystical revelation. Yet nowadays, the preference is for "Kindle," a name that conceals a subtle clue about burning books, we discover we are boldly embarking on a Brave New quest to become fully synthetic. All of this is an omen for the frightening issue regarding education I fear – understanding lengthy, important works of literature will disappear. For millennia humans have found it natural to contemplate difficult texts in a physical form, rather than scrolling through bytes on a screen. I know I find it almost impossible to do on a screen, though I have read many 1,000-plus page physical books. The Internet is great medium for articles, but are people really going to read the works of the Western iCanon? I doubt it. The point is that decades from now, no one will read important works of history and the classics – at all (Fahrenheit 451). This is precisely what Bertrand Russell said would occur by design, too.
Most are familiar with the theme in dystopian fiction of books being burned or eliminated, but as I progress in my learning, it becomes increasingly evident how far down the dystopian path we already are. A leftist progressive writer and I had a couple interactions recently, and my thoughts on this matter seemed to play out on the screen before me. The assumption of said writer was that true journalism would awaken the masses and the Internet was the great hope of humanity for bringing about revolution. In other words, man is a machine to be programmed with just the right data stream. Over and over, every interaction I have, especially with individuals in alternative media and its nooks and crannies, the presupposition no one ever questions is this Enlightenment model of reality.
While it is obviously true that individuals can change their mind and actions based on new information, the underlying false assumption is that, like a machine, all that's needed for human development and progress is newer, larger amounts of information. A manifestation of the reign and age of quantity, the quantity we now consume is information. Economics is already moving into the realm of the trafficking of information, as the "sustainable" SmartCities of the future will be structured entirely around total information awareness. This model works on the basis that there are no higher realms, no spiritual dimension to man, and the complete solution to his ills is simply more. More information, more articles, more education, more, more, more. If we can only see beyond the subatomic particles – we'll see more. If we can only write more articles – we'll know more. Obviously these are good things in themselves, but across the spectrum of modern Western thought and life, the dominant motivating force is all about the acquisition of more. The SmartCities will not be based around more stuff, but greater and greater immersion into the matrix of the virtual, like the holographic entertainment scene from THX 1138.
There is a dark twist to this ouroboros of gobbling consumption. In the past, the drive for more took man to new continents, established new colonies, brought about amazing inventions and advancements, etc., but consider where our unquenched desire is about to take us today – into the realm of the virtual. We are no longer concerned with real exploration, real knowledge accompanied by wisdom, real interactions, etc., but with the synthetic versions of all these things. It is as if a disgustingly obese man devoured every piece of cake and candy in sight, and then demanded all the same goodies on Candy Crush or some other childish video game. The obesity of the public is a mirror for the obesity of man's black hole of desire for meaningless more, a dark vortex of infinite nihilistic swallowing, ingesting and elimination of itself.
The great contradiction here is that man's quest for infinite more, with no purpose or telos behind this acquisition, is the transmutation of matter into the byte – an inverted dark philosopher's stone that leads to death, not immortality. The lies of the last few centuries surrounding man's great secular ascent and self-deification through empty "scientific progress" has resulted in a global automaton drone population, transfixed in a perpetual trance by screens. Screens in Wal-Mart, screens in toilets, screens in school, screens on roads, screens are everywhere to the point of absurdity, where it's almost impossible to even have a dinner at a restaurant without some stupid screen bombarding the senses (generally with sports images). Trying to eat at sports bar is impossible – I have seen sports bars with upwards of ten screens playing at once. It is an utterly ridiculous and perpetual overstimulation and speaks to a completely conquered and destroyed people, who cannot even communicate and share the ancient human ritual practice of the meal, without a dozen screens vomiting men in costumes and tights, chasing balls and rolling around with one another in homoerotic display.
The transition to a fully synthetic society brings with it a mundane, infinitely boring version of everything. Fake food, fake (abridged, digital) books, fake news, fake breasts, fake Darwinian narratives, fake history, fake religions and preachers, false environments, even fake drugs – nothing is exempt from the irrational drive to overlay all of reality with a meaningless digital copy. Man's fascination with transhumanism and cloning are really just fake mythological devices, furthering this deep faith in the synthetic. The dark truth is that man's furious descent into the unreal is not resulting in his promised freedom and transcendence, but the opposite: greater and greater atrophy and degeneration, all due to the loss of acknowledgement and submission to the spiritual. Unable to be touched or sensed. the virtual and synthetic is thus a substitute version of the spiritual, a virtual aether. The Philosopher's Stone is become rock candy, and not even a real piece of candy – a virtual piece of rock candy at level 33 of Candy Crush.

Why I Will Never, Ever, EVER Get a Tattoo
Would I have to start planning outfits around the tattoo like I plan for weather?
Last night Madeline, Olivia and I went to The Thompson LES Hotel for a Topshop party to celebrate the opening of their poolside popup shop. I snagged this camoflage pullover because I will buy everything and anything in this print. It's available in store and online as well.
Camoflage Sweater, $72
The bar was serving up these Bulldog Gin infused Bellinis that had me blacked out after two sips as I haven't eaten solid food since Tuesday when I had mouth surgery. Unfortunately I'm not getting much sympathy as everyone I complain to assumes it was cosmetic. I wish! For the record I have receding gums and they're genetic. OK, enough about disgusting dental work -- let's watch the video already!
Madeline was giving me major Wrap It Up. Can you tell? What did you think of DATO's new location? Should we go somewhere else next week? Where?!

Ampersand Gessobord
Claybord's surface can take any media from pencil and ink to oils. Pigments can be simply removed with scratch tools to expose the white surface, which becomes part of the finished work. The mineral-coated, pH neutral and lightfast surface of Claybord can be easily manipulated, erased, and reworked. Its coating is a very smooth absorbent clay ground comparable to the clay gesso grounds used during the Renaissance.
Choose from a 1/8" flat panel, or mounted versions in depths of 3/4" and 2". The mounted panels are glued flush with a birch plywood support, providing extra support while giving the panel depth and dimension. Leave the wood sides exposed to help frame your work, or treat easily with wood stain, gesso or paint.

Transporting scissor lifts, forklifts, small rollers, and other small industrial equipment requires a special trailer with a low load angle, maneuverability, and ease of operation. The CAM Superline 6x12 Tilt Trailers are designed to meet this need. The Single Axle Tilt trailer is available in 2.5 and 3 ton capacities.
The single axle tilt trailer features a tubular tongue, and come standard with our heavy 4-bolt fully adjustable hitch plate offering multiple position settings to match your tow vehicle.
The 6x12 tilt deck is mounted with a pivot point strategicaly located which allows it to tilt into the loading position via gravity. A tongue mounted hydraulic cushion cylinder provides variable adjustability of the gravity powered tilt operation. A hydraulic flow control valve with adjustment knob allows the user to control the speed at which the deck is tilted. A locking heavy duty latch secures the deck for transportation.
Standard decking is inch and a half tight-grained northern hemlock which provides long lasting durability and enhanced resistance to weathering. When hauling smaller equipment with a narrow concentrated center of weight, CAM Superline strongly recommends a forklift tread package. This tread package consists of (2) 10-inch wide steel tracks spaced to the wheelbase of your equipment. These tracks are reinforced and welded to the cross members of the frame, then layered with expanded metal for increased traction and support. This tread package insures structural support of your equipment rather than relying on deck boards to accommodate the load of your equipment.
The trailer is constructed with a heavy 5-inch angle mainframe, 3-inch channel cross members, heavy duty diamond plate fenders, and includes 4 D-ring tie-downs to secure your load. CAM Superline 6x12 tilt trailers come standard with Dexter Easy-Lube Axles with electric brakes and a slipper spring suspension.
Built for quality, value, and dependability, all CAM Superline trailers come standard with LED lights, a sealed, 1-piece heat-shrunk wiring harness, and a superior 2 component finish featuring an epoxy primer and PPG polyurethane paint providing the ultimate in corrosion resistance and long-lasting durability.
Back it all up with a 2-year warranty and it's easy to see - CAM Superline is your partner for the long haul!

The McCloud River Railroad adorned with snow is one of the classic views we have of our grand lady. The yearly battle between man and machine and nature has provided some of the most dramatic stories and scenes ewe have seen of the railroad. This site has been enhanced with the contribution of Charles Russell of these very high quality scans of original four of which date from 1909 from the Miller studio. The date on the fifth is unknown. Especially striking to me on a pure history basis, is that all the engines are equipped with oil burning stacks, they are passed their "lump oil" stage, also the writer of the cards refers to the railroad's terminus as being in Sisson…which we know was soon moved to Mt Shasta and the town of Sisson disappeared of the map. I want to personally thank the contributor for enriching the knowledge base of MCRR history.
The engines pictured below appear to be the #14 and # 15 engines were both 2-8-2 "Mikado" engines purchased from the Baldwin Locomotive works in 1907. The first oil burners in the McCloud livery were bucking snow in the winter of 1909. Two engines, one caboose (to keep the shovel crews warm until needed) and one bucker plow, a classic McCloud railroad snow train.

Los Angeles, CAlif: This Mommy is ON. A. MISSION.
1. I'M SHOPPING DOUBLE. You heard me. I'm buying 2, 3, 4 of EVERYTHING. May I also recommend a secondary, fully-packed diaper bag complete with non-perishable snacks + extra everything (a wrapped gift in the car also never hurt).
Example: We have at least 4 open containers of sunscreen (1 for beach bag, diaper bag, car, and house).
Objection: Too expensive.
My Response: No way – this will SAVE you money! Imagine buying sunscreen at the Zoo gift shop (hello 1/4 oz. bottle for $12). When you're desperate, you certainly can't be a brand snob (like I am- Mary Kay sunscreens are the BEST). And seriously, if you can't get through 4 bottles before they expire, you and your LO's need to get out more. Or use more sunscreen. Just saying.
2. CALL ME CHRISTA-COLUMBA MOMMY. Discover new places! Your city's Red Tricycle is the best place to start. What's happening near you, that you're missing out on?
Our recent discoveries:
- Splash Parks (L.A has dozens)
- Mommy nail places + spas
- Pamper & Play (in L.A.)
Objection: "I can barely go to the grocery store with my kids, it's just all so hard."
My Response: Seriously, you guys? I am SO TIRED of hearing moms who have been tricked into thinking they can't do things that they CAN. C'mon, be adventurous! What happened to that 22-year-old whose motto was, "I can do ALL THINGS through Christ who strengthens me!" — Time for her to make a permanent come-back.
3. SING WITH ME: Summer lovin' had me a blast… MORE DATE NIGHTS!!
His benefit: He's reminded of how good you look dolled up as his arm candy.
Her benefit: Sanity. Returning. Slowly…
Objection: If babysitting costs are an issue, trade babysitting with your bff's. If you're really desperate… I know a couple who checks their kids into the church nursery/ Sunday School and once a month goes to Starbucks next door (no joke). Whatever it takes, your kids benefit when their parents are getting enough mommy-daddy-time.
For our super-observant readers: Yes, most of my blog articles say something about breaking free from kids. I swear this is not a secret cry for help. I just enjoy my breaks!
4. MAKE A GOAL POSTER. Make your goal your Summer Theme and display it where you'll see it all the time ("This Summer, Jack is Signing on 35 New Clients!"). Pick your goals as a couple/ as a family, narrow your focus, and be proactive. Be your spouse and children's strongest believer and biggest encourager!
Christy Brown Jun 23 2014 - 6:06 pm
This is such a creative and wonderful idea! You are on TARGET! And, might I add the MK Lip Balm with SPF would be a great addition to go with the MK Sunscreen to your diaper bag, etc to protect your kids lips (and, moms, too!).
Can't wait to read more of your wonderful blogs.
