Candlelighters is a non-profit organization, providing support to over a thousand families affected by childhood cancer in Oregon and SW Washington. Recognizing various needs of individuals and families, we offer our support and services, without regard to economics, race, religion, choice of physician(s) or health care facilities.
This September will be second year joining the Candlelighter's team to ride in Cycle Oregon . As many of you may know, my ride last year was stopped less than a ¼ of a mile from the finish line when I took a spill on the bike path and was knocked unconscious. Post accident I needed to take some time to mend my head and my shoulder, but I knew that I wanted to get back in the saddle.
My honored child this year is 9 year old Guatam. Guatam has been battling High Risk Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia since his diagnosis on March 3, 2009
Guatam loves basketball, swimming, Legos and PS4. He looks up to his parents and his older brother, Kabir(11). When he grows up he wants to play in the NBA and get his PhD in Law.
The Cycle Oregon ride is along Oregon's Southern Coastline this year. We will start in Myrtle Creek and will ride through Camas Valley, Bandon, Gold Beach, Brookings, Indian Mary Park and Glendale. We will start the ride on September 11th and will finish up on September 17th.
This years Candlelighter's team will consist of 38 riders, 7 honored children and 6 camp support volunteers. I ride in honor of Guatum, for the amazing work that Candlelighter's does and for the awareness of all children battling cancer and their families.
Please consider supporting Guatam and myself on this ride. Any amount helps me to my goal of raising $5000, and every penny is so greatly appreciated. If you would like to learn more about Candlelighter's you can visit their website at www.4kidswithcancer.org
December 24, 2015
Just a note to express how "Grateful" I am to have such extraordinary people in my life. I had planned to mail out this message much earlier to say "Thank You" for supporting me in Cycle Oregon and for supporting Candlelighters. However my intentions were thrown off track by an accident that I sustained on the last day of the ride. My goal was to raise $5000.00 for Candlelighters which provides support to families that have a child battling cancer. I want to thank everyone who not only helped me reach that goal but helped me to exceed my goal by raising almost $6,000.
Fifty-two dedicated cyclist were riding for Candlelighters all cycling to reach their individual goal. As a group we raised over $180,000.00 this year for this event ride. Candlelighters "Ride for a Child" just completed its 14th year of supporting families with children with cancer. Over the last 14 years Candlelighters, "Ride for A Child" has raised over 1.6 million dollars that provides direct support for the families.
About the ride. We started our event in Baker City Oregon. On Day 1 we rode to the Oregon/Idaho border. Day 2 we rode to Cambridge Idaho. Day 3 we rode down into Hells Canyon and the Snake River Canyon only to reverse our ride back to Cambridge because of the forest fires in Halfway Oregon. As forest fires were raging out of control the directors of Cycle Oregon made the decision for 2200 cyclist and the Cycle Oregon Support team to return to our earlier site on the Oregon/Idaho border. Day 5 would take us back to Baker City. Day 6 we would head to La Grande Oregon to meet our honored Candlelighters kids. Some of our kids brought their bike and helmet and rode around our camp (La Grande High School). You can't imagine how proud these kids were to ride around the perimeter of the school with their new cycling jerseys and the 52 cyclist all riding for Candlelighters. I will never forget the smiles on their faces as they rode their bikes as other Cycle Oregon participants applauded and encouraged them along their ride. The children joined us for dinner along with their parents and family that evening which was a true hi-light for the kids and cyclists. Day 7 we left La Grande for Baker City and the finish of Cycle Oregon 2015.
About the accident. Saturday, Day 7 we left early morning and set out for Baker City covering 65 beautiful back road miles. After 7 days of cycling and just over 450 miles of biking I could see the finish line as we approached the high school taking the path off the highway that would lead us to the end of an end epic ride and life experience for me. Less than 200 yards to go I hit a bad spot on the path falling, hitting my head and being knocked out. My friend attended to me while other cyclists called 911 for emergency help. I was taken by ambulance to Baker City Hospital and treated. Injuries: Concussion and AC joint separation to my right shoulder. My honored child Isabel was waiting at the finish line and after finding out that I had taken a fall her mother drove her to the hospital to check on me. Isabel brought me a gift to the hospital to cheer me up, "Cycle Oregon" pink socks. You might guess that pink is Isabel's favorite color.
Again I would like to say "Thank You" to each and every one that made a donation to support this great cause. I plan on riding Cycle Oregon again this year and also will be riding to raise funds for Candlelighters!
Happy New Year! Jim

Dangal marks the return of Aamir Khan to the big screen after two years. The movie releases on December 23, 2016.
Cast: Aamir Khan, Sakshi Tanwar, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Sanya Malhotra, Aparshakti Khurrana
Director: Nitesh Tiwari
Music: Pritam Chakraborty
Background & Story:
Aamir Khan's last film, PK, released in December 2014. Directed by Rajkumar Hirani, the movie was a blockbuster and became one of the highest grossing Hindi movies of all time. After PK released, there was a lot of speculation about Aamir's next movie. Later, he confirmed that he had signed Nitesh Tiwari's Dangal. The release date of Dangal is December 23, 2016. It is a Christmas release and the festival is known to be auspicious for the star as his movies Taare Zameen Par, Ghajini, 3 Idiots, and PK were released around the very time.
To look the part of a 50-year-old man, Aamir had to put on a lot of weight. However, he had only a few months to lose all of it as he had to shoot the portions of Mahavir Phogat's early life. For this, he checked into a clinic in Arizona, USA, where doctors monitored his weight loss. Dangal is based on the life of Mahavir Phogat, a wrestler from the state of Haryana. Mahavir's daughters, Geeta Phogat and Babita Kumari have won medals at the Commonwealth Games.
Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanya Malhotra play the roles of the two wrestlers in Dangal. Popular TV actress, Sakshi Tanwar, will be seen as Mahavir Phogat's wife. The movie explores the relationship between Mahavir Phogat and his daughters, and will show how the man trained them to become world champions. The trailer of Dangal is expected to be out by October 2016. Till then, have a look at the film's poster below.

text: Urban/Political Thresholds in Slums: Tarlabasi Istanbul Part 2 Project 2014 Philip Galway-Witham University of Cambridge Cambridge UK Following sweeping changes to development and planning legislation, the informal and marginalized communities of the city of Istanbul have begun to experience in recent years a systemized process forced eviction and relocation. Historically stigmatized and socially excluded populations within the city centre have been targeted by mass urban regeneration projects in the name of civic regeneration and economic growth. For communities at the bottom of Istanbul's socioeconomic ladder, the rampant growth of the city has led to a highly organized and effective campaign of urban transformation that promises to expropriate thousands of residents from their homes. The neighbourhood of Tarlabasi in central Istanbul represents one of the first districts targeted by this process of wholesale urban transformation. It is a derelict neighbourhood that has been, in the last thirty years, illegally inhabited by squatters following the departure of the original resident communities of Armenian and Greek merchants. It is this form of contested, informal space that the design project explores, examining the conditions of socio-political conflict within informal settlements. Through a discussion of the underlying factors and actors within informal spaces experiencing conflict, this project speculates on how given urban environments, land and infrastructure are commandeered by informal use and the effects of such inhabitation at a political, social and civic level. The project examines, on a spatial and societal level, the impact of urban and architectural interventions at points of conflict between disparate actors in slums. Through the connection and reinterpretation of thresholds and boundaries that are the physical result of socio-political conflict within Tarlabasi, it aims to test the recalibration of urban networks as a means to create spaces of interaction and dialogue. It examines, thereby, the capacity of subsequent informal and incremental growth to develop a form of regeneration that mitigates entrenched societal and economic divisions within the slum. Drawing from research into contemporary practices of slum intervention the proposal explores the use of vertical urban infrastructure, catalysts of socio-economic opportunity and informal, incremental growth, as a means to create spaces that change existing patterns and spatial manifestations of politically charged urban conflict in Tarlabasi.

Tech note: PC users having trouble with iTunes 7 (me included) should know how to fix distortion problems. Two options worked for me. The first involved cranking the iTunes audio to its max level. Then you just adjust the volume level in Windows. No more distortion. The second option involves going into your Windows control panel, double-clicking on Quicktime and then selecting the audio tab. Adjust the rate to 44.1 kHz and the size to 16-bit. No more distortion.

By Jerry Chandler
It was the mid-eighties when we first saw Robotech fly onto our television screens. It was officially 1985 that the series was launched in the US, but not everyone had it playing in their area that year. It made its debut the year after Transformers and Challenge of the GoBots, so it was certainly able to catch the eye of anyone who was caught up in the craze for transforming robots. But, other than the surface similarity of having giant vehicles that could turn into giant robots, Robotech was totally unlike those cartoons; or, for that matter, any other cartoon on mainstream American television to that point.
The first episode of Robotech started out showing how in (the then distant future of) 1999 a huge alien spaceship crashed on Earth, and it wasn't shy about letting you know that people died because of it. While a body count wasn't explicitly stated, the viewer is told that the shockwaves created untold damage and the animation shows a large city tearing apart as the ship passes over it. The opening voiceover then talks about the devastating global war that was ravaging the world of 1999.The images used in this segment were absolutely clear in their depictions of human death.
That was a little different for American cartoon blocks. Thundarr the Barbarian had an opening that showcased a global catastrophe, even showing damage to cities, but quickly moving past that. It certainly didn't show up close still images of people being killed. Even G.I. Joe- ostensibly a cartoon about active military combat and engagements with a terrorist organization –bent over backwards to make it clear that no one ever died in their combat situations. So, yeah, as I said, that was a little different for a lot of people used to the tamer US cartoons.
From there the first episode story moved into something that seemed more like lighter, daring-do adventure storytelling. It introduced the viewers to a series of characters who would become beloved regulars, and did so with comical introductions for each of them. Even after the immediate introduction of our alien threat and the scrambling of combat units, the writing kept a comical feel to it as our lead character, the young Rick Hunter, gets thrust into the fight through a series of mistakes. Even when his friend, combat pilot Roy Fokker, discovers that Rick is there and in a combat situation with zero training and experience, his attitude is more one of just making Rick his wingman with zero worries.
Things take a more dramatic turn when Rick is shot out of the sky, crashes into the city, and later is almost killed by an alien soldier. He's saved by Roy when he shoots and kills the alien. Here's the thing with that- Roy kills him on screen, and they never try to do the cartoon copout seen in other Americanized properties if that time of claiming the alien is a robot. We're told and shown on no uncertain terms that the aliens are basically giant humans. It was established upfront that when alien or Earth ships were blown up, living beings died.
The mainstream American television cartoons of that time did everything they could to get around ever having that scenario play out in the average episode. Spider-Man and his amazing friends would always save the day before the first life was ever lost, Cobra never managed to kill anyone no matter how deadly a threat they were claiming their latest scheme for world domination was, and even shows like Transformers did everything they could to avoid casualties of the very humanized robots despite multiple blazing gun battles with laser beams punching holes in everything else around them. Even Voltron was written in its Americanized form to have the deaths be drones or robot piloted ships. Not here though. People could die in Robotech, and that raised the stakes a bit.
That was something that would really be hammered home as the series went on. While delivering great action, fun adventure, reasonably well plotted intrigue, and romance for those inclined to want that in their show, Robotech also showed that greatly loved fan favorites could and would die in the war depicted in the show. That was probably something that caught more than a few viewers, not to mention the ever easier to anger parent's groups, completely off guard. Robotech had one of its main characters, a huge fan favorite, injured in combat and die on screen. Even other common to this time shows of this type, Americanized anime, tried to avoid doing that in the rewrites. Star Blazers killed several characters off only to have them discovered alive again down the road. Even one of that show's most significant deaths, the Captain of the Argo, was later reversed. Voltron in its original form killed a major character, a member of the team. The Americanized version was rewritten so that he was merely injured so badly as to have to be sent back to Earth for prolonged recovery. His twin from the Japanese storyline was then later turned into him returned to the story with a different role in the Americanized rewriting. It was beyond rare to see a cartoon on American television during the children's television block of programming have a character, let alone a major hero in the story, die on screen and have his wounds cover his clothing with his blood. Robotech did just that.
Robotech also did something that didn't get as talked about as much- if at all -back then. Interracial couples were not all that common on television in the 1980s; certainly not in cartoons. When you did find interracial couples on TV, more often than not, the fact that they were an interracial couple was very central to the storytelling. Whether the series was a comedy or a drama, a large amount of the storylines around interracial couples at the time were about showing the issues they faced because of everyone else- sometimes friends, often family, certainly society at large –reacting to them being an interracial couple and having a problem with it to lesser or greater degrees.
Robotech had two interracial couples in its story, and, certainly with one of them, the fact that they were an interracial couples was never a big deal to plots. They were simply written as couples no different than any other average, ordinary couple in the series. I don't want to use the word "revolutionary" when describing it. That's a word that gets overused all too often and even more often is misapplied to the things that people are discussing. But, it really was in a way. In an era where I still had schoolmates who would shout racial slurs at interracial couples or at the children of interracial couples and where interracial couples in entertainment were used for hammering messages over the viewing audience's heads; Robotech had Claudia and Roy there for kids to see on screen as nothing more or less than just another average, ordinary, loving couple with no big deal made about it in any real way at all.
But all of that would have meant nothing if the show didn't entertain and thus keep and grow its audience. Fortunately, Robotech managed to do that very well.
Robotech managed, over its 85 episode run, to tell an amazingly entertaining and surprisingly complex multigenerational story. It was so well done in fact that it reportedly started drawing more of an older audience than a younger one. However, that level of quality was a mixed blessing. Supposedly, the quality being what it was and drawing the audience that it did is why we only ever got the one, 85 episode syndicated season.
Children's television shows being produced for first run syndication at that time were in part surviving not only on ratings, but on how much money their toy lines made. The failure of the Matchbox toys based on the series to become greatly coveted items by the fanbase of the time has been cited by many as one of the main reasons a follow-up series, Robotech: Sentinels, was never put into production. There's almost an odd bit of irony in that little factoid when looking back on it with 2017 eyes. It's incredibly hard from a 2017 perspective to wrap your head around the ideas that it was actually detrimental to the show's future prospects that it was good enough to draw in viewers older than the originally targeted demo as well as the fact that those older viewers weren't spending a paycheck or two on Robotech merchandise each year.
Possibly the most surprising thing about Robotech being such a well done, watchable show was the fact that the 85 episodes and the various story arcs were cobbled together from three different Japanese anime. To be a first run syndicated cartoon, a show had to have a minimum of 65 episodes because they were sold as thirteen week, Monday through Friday products. Of the shows Harmony Gold USA had the rights to, no two of them together reached 65 episodes. They finally put together into one package The Super Dimension Fortress Macross, Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross, and Genesis Climber Mospeada and hired a team of American writers to create a story and scripts unifying the three anime into one series. Given the legacy and enduring love for the show, I'd say they did a pretty good job with it.
If you were a teen when Robotech first hit the airwaves, it was an amazing show to have on the air. It was a thrilling, amazing, entertaining series that was a truly serialized story with a beginning, a middle, and an ending that didn't write down to its intended audience. It was filled with characters that you could immediately find appealing and those characters inhabited a world full of the type of technology that every teenage science fiction fan could not help but to fall in love with. It was also filled with a lot of little things that most of the younger audiences wouldn't have noticed or appreciated at the time, but are certainly interesting to see from an older perspective or from one decades removed from when it first aired.
Robotech is currently streaming on various services like Netflix.

Mixed weekend. Saturday we headed over to Dorchester to visit Solomon. I've been very lax lately with this blog but one of the things that did happen was that poor old Solomon managed to break his leg. Poor thing, he is only three years old. So, he's been in traction for the last four weeks. We visited him a few weeks ago, when obviously everything was still rather painful for him, but when we visited Saturday he seemed a lot better and more agile. Apparently he may even be out of hospital this week, and straight home - not even a cast.
Quite good since he has obviously taken a shine to me, and Lorraine said he
was really excited when he found out I'd be visiting. The first thing he did
when we got there was to try to take my picture - with a trick camera that
squirted water. Exactly what I'd have done as a kid! I had to go over to
Lorraine's house and help her with something on her computer, and on the way
back got delicious chocolate ice creams all round - and the resultant mess on
Solomon's clean white bedding had to be seen to be believed! Alice too enjoyed
herself. As Solomon is on a childrens' ward there is a heavy emphasis on playing
and toys, so she had the run of the place for something like five hours. Very
strange to see our six-year-old attempting to dress up in costumes meant for
Sunday was not so good. I've been thinking about getting a new "practical"
suit. Something that is machine washable, so I'm not reliant on the dry cleaners
when I need to get the thing cleaned. Acting on a tip-off, we headed over to
Marks and Spencers on Sunday. We first did the weekly shop at Sainsbury's, but
then as we were going to M&S Jacqueline said that it would be good to see if
we could find some trousers for Alice. Unfortunately Alice decided to be
uncooperative, so much so that I left them in the childrens' clothing department
to have a look at the washable suits, which was after all the reason for going
in the first place.
Having looked at the suits (which are also safe for tumble dryers - a great
idea but unfortunately not a great range), I headed back to find the family, but
they were not to be seen. Thinking that Jacqueline must have get fed up waiting
for me, I headed back to the car.
The car was empty, but I didn't see the point of going back and continuing to
look for them - they could have been anywhere - I decided I might as well sit
and wait in the car. So, twenty minutes later, they finally arrived back at the
car and the argument ensued...
Everything, of course, was my fault - the definition of being married I
suppose, and it really soured what had been a good weekend up until then. In
particular I was upset at Alice's stroppy attitude which meant that it was
really necessary for us all to split up in the first place. She really shows her
dark side at times.
It amazes me - she went to a party last week and when Jacqueline went to pick
Alice up, the girl's mother told Jacqueline that she was angelic! Little does
she know....
Oh, lastly, that Kenny Everett dvd I was watching the other night turned out
disappointing in the end, since many of his best characters weren't on it. Fine
if Hot Gossip's your thing, but I'd have thought a 2-hour DVD would have had a
better selection of his characters. Roll on Dads' Army!

The Erebus focuses on adding a whole new dimension to Minecraft, with many new creatures to slay, things to create and lands to explore. Other things, such as an in-depth magic system and many dungeons are planned as well.
This dimension is designed to provide full survivability, giving you the ability to start from scratch there if you so desire. This is, however, not recommended, as mobs are a lot tougher. The mobs are rather diverse in their AI, and even the passive mobs are not completely harmless.
This mod plays well with almost all other mods, and is designed for compatibility with both magic and tech mods. You can turn on a variety of ores commonly used in mods, such as Copper, Tin, Silver, Lead and Aluminum, so you never have to leave!
If that doesn't work, go here:
This version is a heavy WIP, so we need YOUR help to ensure bugs get found and squashed (no, don't make bad puns about this anymore please). Make an issue, provide us with proper information and we will do the best we can to improve it and make the mod more stable!
This is what you'll need to do to get to the erebus:
Craft a Offering Altar (Smooth stone in the corners!):
The offering altar takes 3 items in and crafts them into 1 (You can use NEI to look recipes for it!) But the only recipe you need to worry about now is the one to craft the Gaean Stone which is part of the portal activator recipe. You'll need an obsidian, an emerald and a diamond! Right-click the altar with those items in your hand to put them in.
To take an item out you'll need to shift right-click with an empty hand and the items will pop right out.
Once you have the gaean stone craft the portal activator (now named Staff of Gaea) thusly:
Now onto actually building the portal!
You'll need:
8x Stone Bricks,
8x Stone Brick Slabs
1x Chiselled Stone Brick
1x Gaean Keystone
Crafting the gaean keystone is simple:
This is how you should build the portal:
Once all is in place, you'll need to right-click the keystone with the portal activator (Staff of Gaea) which will activate the portal and allow you to step through!

CT Scans and Planning
Because successful implant dentistry requires a high degree of precision, we use computed tomography (CT) to generate a 3D model of the mouth. This allows us to identify the exact surgical position of the implants for maximum comfort and aesthetics. It also helps shorten treatment time for the implant restoration.
To help you visualize your implant procedure and end result, we will create a multimedia presentation to use when discussing your case and treatment options. This way, we can show you what we have in mind while we explain it.
We have found this type of presentation goes a long way toward helping patients fully understand their options, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each procedure.

Are you trying to get pregnant and want to know when you're ovulating? Some women have strict menstrual cycles and can determine for themselves when to get their groove on, others may not be as regular and need some assistance from bodily hints. Ovulation occurs midway through the menstrual cycle, so that's around the 14th day (take 2-3 days either side) of an averaged 28 day cycle. This article describes some of the signs of ovulation women can detect to know when they should be trying to conceive.

Manierism (Art) Historiographic category indicating certain artistic productions carried out between 1520 and end of the XVI century.
The mannerism appeared initially in the florentins mediums about 1520. Andrea del Sarto moved the narrative function of work and sought to define a concept of either ideal but suggestive and evolutionary beauty. Pontormo, the most famous figure of the mannerism Tuscan, worked out an ideal value of art in oneself and not of art as a reflection of an external element like nature. Rosso Fiorentino, which came to France in the years 1530 to collaborate in the decoration of the castle of Fontainebleau, tried in its first works to recompose space according to new geometrical and volumetric criteria.
Jules Romain, a pupil of Raphaël which passed most of its career to Mantoue to the service of Gonzague, based its research on the negation of the technical categories of the various media which, according to him, choked creation.
One period of stabilization and diffusion followed. Agnolo Bronzino, collaborator of Pontormo, official portraitist of the court of Médicis, highlighted the social range of its models. But it is Giorgio Vasari which made it possible to crystallize all the artistic concerns of this time. He was a painter of the large duke of Tuscany, first historian of art, head of the most significant Italian workshop of painting of the middle of the century, founder of the first Academy of the fine arts (called Accademia del Disegno).
Art resulting from the mannerism was also diffused out of Italy. In France, the school of Fontainebleau is associated during its first time the figures of Primatice and Nicolò dell' Abate.
One then saw the emergence of artists like François Clouet, but the majority of works Frenchwomen of this time remain anonymous. In Spain and in Flandres, it is under Philippe II that this painting took a significant place thanks in particular to the artists Vicente Macip or Shine of Morals.
Towards the end of the century, Italian artists continued the company of diffusion through the building site of Escurial. It is of Luca Cambiaso but especially about Federico Zuccari and Pellegrino Tibaldi. The United Provinces (left septentrional the Netherlands) knew the exceptional painting of Lucas de Leyde. In Bohemia, the court of Prague around Rodolphe II allowed the artists like Bartholomeus Spranger or Roelandt Savery to develop a significant center of production.

Upon finding out that Rush Limbaugh used a short clip from his track "Sledgehammer" to come back from break, Peter Gabriel suddenly went through the roof.
Here's what he posted on Facebook:
Peter was appalled to learn that his music was linked to Rush Limbaugh's extraordinary attack on Sandra Flute. [sic] It is obvious from anyone that knows Peter's work that he would never approve such a use. He has asked his representatives to make sure his music is withdrawn and especially from these unfair aggressive and ignorant comments.
Two points deserve explication here. First, there is no way that Gabriel's representatives had never heard that Rush used Gabriel's music on his broadcast. It is well accepted in radio circles that short snippets of music are promotions for the music and do not generally require permission for use (Gabriel will undoubtedly claim copyright violation).
Second, given that Gabriel's representatives likely knew that Rush was using the music, they were allowing him to promote Gabriel – and only now are they upset about it. In other words, they were happy to accept the best of Rush's largesse and now want to dump on him in order to damage him. Typical Hollywood opportunism.

My second blog post is different than my normal content, because this involves a personal update about me.
Earlier last week, I received a phone call that's put my status for releasing book two on hold until early this summer at the latest.
Now, I've had ongoing medical issues, but this one I haven't posted about on Facebook or social media, because the subject is sort of taboo and I wanted accurate results before posting anything.
I suffer from PCOS, or polycystic ovarian syndrome. If you don't know what it means, it's heinous on women because it screws with hormones, the ability to lose weight and a variety of other health-related illnesses. This also means it's harder to have children, but I don't have to worry about that. We'll get to this part shortly.
PCOS was one major reason I chose to go gluten and dairy free – because it can also cause intolerance to certain food products. I also went this route because of chronic migraines, which worsened six months after I gave up all those products (and believe me, giving up ice cream was painful). Despite giving up processed sugars, wheat and the lovely GOOD tasting food, I lost forty-five pounds, and finding out answers about another issue I've had for the last three years.
Last Friday, I had no idea what to think after getting this phone call, because I was upset this wasn't detected sooner – after failing the fourth test in four years, with my last doctor saying to just retest in six months to a year.
However, it's been difficult to get any work done, and scary when your doctor asks you to come in for emergency testing because they believe they found cancer where they're operating in a few months. They're talking about moving appointments up, since the consult is in mid-February, right after Valentine's Day. From the way they're talking, this could occur anytime in March or April…right when I'm doing promotions for book two's release.
It's been a hard road, and it's harder knowing that I will have to have surgery sooner than planned because of my unexpected health issue. As a result, I want to have my second book in editing when surgery is planned (I am pushing for March, because I want this over with). This way, I'm not stressing myself out, I can focus on a new project without screwing up my book, and move forward while recovering between writing and narrowing down "need to read" pile.
I might start a standalone on the iPad, since I bought it for when I'm laid up in bed.
So yes, I will still write. I'll still do takeovers, promote online and write awesome books you guys enjoy, because I love my profession. Sharing stories with you guys is awesome, but this last week, it's taken forever to get anything done because I'm getting laid up more and more.
I may only release two books and a few short stories this year. For me, that's okay. I'm still working and continuing to develop my skills as a writer. I'm not sitting at home, feeling sorry for myself while moping about what could have been and what can happen. There is nothing I can do short of what I've already done, and I'm going to make the most out of what happens now.
Not three or six months from now, but today. Right now, when it matters most.
For those who want to say they are sorry, don't be. This surgery and treatment was a long time coming. It's been monitored for years, but something I came to terms with long ago. I'm happy this chapter is ending because it's one less worry on my plate.
I've already felt bad dropping one deadline and pushing another back this month, due to the news and my health issues. Right now, I'm focusing on finishing up my queue before taking on anymore projects, unless the deadlines are near July and beyond. Then I can take more work, but not anything beforehand.
As a self-published author and one who is publishing shorts with a small press, I appreciate the support I've received throughout this journey. I hope this continues as I face yet another hurdle, but one that I made buffer room for for the next publication.
Maybe I should named the series my first book title. It seems to fit my life, after all.1

ISLAMABAD – Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has barred all PML-N leaders from making controversial statements about former military head General (retd) Raheel Sharif.
Radio Pakistan, in a series of tweets on Sunday stated that the premier has taken notice of the statements being made against general (retd) Raheel Sharif.

It may be mentioned here that Sindh Governor Muhammad Zubair drew public ire over statements about Raheel Sharif earlier this month.
The PML-N stalwart had claimed that former Chief of Army Staff General (retd.) Raheel Sharif wouldn't have even dreamt of becoming the army chief.
Moreover, Muhammad Zubair also likened Raheel Sharif with any other general and urged media not to make him larger than life.
'He is a normal general like other generals and it's his right to acquire the piece of land he was given … Let's be fair with him — let's not make him larger than life' he cautioned.
Late last month, PML-N leader and Federal Minister for States and Frontier Regions (Safron) Lt Gen (retd) Abdul Qadir Baloch said that if former army chief Gen Raheel Sharif were to accept the appointment as head of a 39-nation military alliance of Muslim states he would become controversial.
"If Raheel Sharif takes up the appointment, he will become controversial and I feel it might lessen the respect he has earned," said Baloch while speaking on DawnNews programme Doosra Rukh.

If you have $25 to spare, you can lend it to an entrepreneur halfway across the world and feel like you are making a small difference. He or she eventually pays you back (hopefully), the credit goes into your account, and you can start all over again.
"People like microfinance because it's so specific," says Bob Harris, who wrote a book, "The International Bank of Bob," about his lending experiences. The 51-year-old Los Angeles author and screenwriter has been lending on Kiva.org since 2009 and is up to an amazing 7,625 loans amounting to more than $190,000. That is all from an original $20,000, which has since cycled through multiple times. "You're not helping a charity in general; you're helping Maria in Ecuador start a print shop, or you're helping Sharon in Kenya finance a cow whose milk will help pay for her kids' education."
The concept has obviously pushed our emotional buttons. Kiva is now up to 1,276,189 lenders, who have doled out $691 million in loans.Funds raised on Indiegogo, a similar site, have increased 1,000 percent over the past two years, with 275,000 campaigns in total. And 8.3 million people have pledged $1.6 billion to 81,000 different creative projects on Kickstarter.
Here are few tips to microfinance responsibly:
Give yourself a cap
For crowdfunding aficionados, the sums can certainly add up. Take $20 here and $20 there, and you are quickly into hundreds of dollars.Sam Dogen is a fan of Prosper.com, where you can lend to promising entrepreneurs and even get a nice return (assuming the money is paid back). In the past couple of years, the 38-year-old from San Francisco made more than 7 percent a year, much better than he could get by parking cash at the bank.
But Dogen, who runs the site FinancialSamurai.com and wrote the book "How To Engineer Your Layoff," admits the lending process is "addicting." So he limited himself to a few thousand dollars, issuing 25 loans of $100 to $250 a pop.He considers it part of his "alternative investments" bucket, putting in no more than what he can afford to lose.
Be patient
If you want to save the world, fine. But you do not have to drain your accounts and get it all done tomorrow.After all, loans at Kiva are repaid at a rate of 98.75 percent. Wait long enough - the terms of each loan repayment depends on the individual project - and the overwhelming odds are that your $25 or $50 will circle back around.Then you can send it back out and get your charitable fix all over again.
Get another opinion
If you are in a relationship, your partner can be a handy source of sober second thoughts. Make sure your family can afford whatever you are lending out.You can even include your kids in deciding what funds should go where and why, to help spur their own charitable impulses.
"When you're in a partnership, you certainly don't want to be doing anything financially they don't have any knowledge of," advises New York financial therapist Amanda Clayman. She enjoys using the classroom-funding site DonorsChoose.org.
But there is no denying the rush of lending money all around the globe. When your $20 gets sent out to Yemen, Senegal or Guatemala, or to striving U.S. entrepreneurs, it makes you feel like a budding version of famed Grameen Bank founder (and father of microfinance) Muhammad Yunus."It's so intoxicating," says Dogen. "It's like you're a CEO."

Minister of Tourism Charles Clifford told those attending the first Tourism Scholar Networking event that he hoped public and private sector resources could be pooled to build the Tourism Apprenticeship Programme.
The Tourism Apprenticeship Programme will be established in 2006, and will provide hands-on experience for students at university, and that will immerse high school graduates into all aspects of the tourism industry and thereby provide valuable work experience and exposure to the industry, he said.
The networking event, which took place Wednesday evening at the Westin Casuarina Resort, offered an opportunity to recognise the success of local scholars, share updates on the tourism employment market, build the foundation for the continued development of tourism's most precious asset, its people, said Mr. Clifford.
'The goals that we must all strive harder for are to educate, inform, encourage and facilitate all young persons who want to participate in the tourism industry. I know we can achieve this goal together.'
Mr. Clifford said, 'I ask all of our tourism partners to register your company to participate in the Summer Internship Programme. This is the missing link in developing our young people for the tourism industry that needs our commitment and participation.'
Giving background information on the Ministry of Tourism's Scholarship Programme, Mr. Clifford said it was initiated in 1996 as a mechanism to achieve more Caymanian involvement in the tourism sector, particularly at the managerial level.
'It is designed for students who demonstrate strong evidence of their desire and intent to pursue an approved tourism or tourism-related discipline.'
He outlined that since its inception a total of 52 students have been awarded full or partial scholarships. Currently, he said, there are 37 students who are studying both locally and overseas. Their range of studies cover more than seven different disciplines related to the tourism industry.
'As part of the program's development, the Ministry and Department of Tourism have organized a series of activities to introduce the scholars to the leaders of the tourism industry, and provide a smoother and seamless transition from university to the Cayman Islands work environment.
'Tonight's event, the first phase of this strategy, is a 'coming out' party for the scholars to meet one-on-one with leaders of the tourism industry, discuss career plans, and to make contacts for employment opportunities.'
In pointing out the importance of summer internships, Mr. Clifford said that many tourism partners have hired young scholars for summer and holiday employment.
'For some students, short term employment serves a dual role – financial and educational'.
Mr. Clifford said, 'The value of having practical hands on experience is too great to be left to chance'.

Weight is a measure of the attractive force of the earth's gravity upon a material body. It is an indication of the mass or heaviness of the body. Weight is also one of the greatest enemies of the flyer. It is a factor which must be respected if flight is to be conducted safely.
The force of gravity acting on the mass of the aircraft continuously
attempts to pull it down from flight. The force of lift which is generated
by the airfoils of the aircraft is the only force available to counteract
weight and keep the aircraft in flight. However, the airfoils can produce
only a limited amount of lift for use in resisting gravity; therefore,
any increase in aircraft weight is to be avoided if possible. The total
lift of the aircraft depends on the design of the airfoils, the speed and
angle of attack of the airfoils as they move through the air, and the density
of the air through which the airfoils are moving. If the generated lift
does not equal aircraft weight, level flight cannot be maintained and the
aircraft must descend.
Any object aboard the aircraft which increases the total weight significantly is an undesirable object as far as flight is concerned. However, aviators must accept a compromise and load some heavy objects in the fuselage or wings to make flight possible. Fuel is an example of a heavy but necessary item. It is always easier to fly when the aircraft is light and more difficult and dangerous when the aircraft is heavy. Therefore, it has always been a primary rule of flight to make the machine as light as possible without sacrificing strength or safety and to include only those loads essential for the particular flight.
The total weight of a vehicle changes as the contents (passengers, fuel, or cargo) are varied. If care is not taken, the vehicle can be weighted down with objects to a point where
|Excessive weight (fig. 2) reduces the flying ability of an airplane
in almost every respect. The most important performance deficiencies of
the overweight airplane are:
The pilot must appreciate the effect of excessive weight on the performance of the aircraft. Every preflight check should include a study of performance charts to see if the aircraft weight may contribute to hazardous flight conditions. Most pilots have been trained to recognize and avoid such aircraft performance reducing factors as: High density altitude, frost on the wings, low engine power, and severe or uncoordinated maneuvers. Excessive weight reduces the safety margins available to the pilot when these conditions are encountered. The pilot must also consider the consequences of an overweight aircraft if emergency conditions arise. If an engine fails on takeoff or ice forms at low altitude, it is usually too late to reduce the aircraft's weight to help keep the machine in the air.
The weight of the aircraft can be changed easily by varying the payload (passengers, baggage, and cargo). But, if weight has to be decreased by reducing the payload, the flight will be less profitable. Weight can also be changed by altering the fuel load. Gasoline or jet fuel has considerable weight - 30 gallons may weigh more than a paying passenger. But, if weight is lowered by reducing fuel, the range of the aircraft is shortened. Fuel burn is normally the only weight change that takes place during flight. As fuel is used, the aircraft becomes lighter and performance is improved; this is one of the few good things about the consumption of the fuel supply.
Changes of fixed equipment also have a major effect upon the weight of the aircraft. Many aircraft are overloaded to a dangerous degree by the installation of extra radios or instruments. Repairs or modifications usually add to the weight of the aircraft; it is a rare exception when a structural or equipment change results in a reduction of weight. As with people, when an aircraft ages, it just naturally puts on weight. The total effect of this growth is referred to as "Service Weight Pickup." Most service weight pickup is the known weight of actual parts installed in repair, overhaul, and modification. These parts should have been weighed or the weight calculated when they were installed. In addition, an unknown weight pickup results from the collection of trash and hardware, moisture absorption of soundproofing, and the accumulation of dirt and grease. This pickup can only be determined by the accurate weighing of the aircraft as a unit.
Balance refers to the location of the c.g. (center of gravity) of an aircraft. It is of primary importance to aircraft stability and safety in flight. Pilots should never fly an aircraft if they are not personally satisfied with its loading and the resulting weight and balance condition. The c.g. is the point about which an aircraft would balance if it were possible to support the aircraft at that point. It is the mass center of the aircraft, or the theoretical point at which the entire weight of the aircraft is assumed to be concentrated. The c.g. must be within specific limits for safe flight.
The prime concern of aircraft balancing is longitudinal balance, or
the fore and aft location of the c.g. along the longitudinal axis. Location
of the c.g. with reference to the lateral axis, however, is also important.
The design of the aircraft is such that lateral symmetry is assumed to
exist as far as weight is concerned. In other words, for each item of weight
existing to the left of the fuselage centerline, there is generally an
equal weight existing at a corresponding location on the right. This lateral
mass symmetry, however, may be upset by unbalanced lateral loading.
|The position of the lateral c.g. is not computed, but the operating crew must be aware that adverse effects will certainly arise as a result of a laterally unbalanced condition. Lateral unbalance will occur if the fuel load is mismanaged by supplying the engine(s) unevenly from tanks on one side of the aircraft (fig. 3). The airplane pilot can correct the resulting wing-heavy condition by the use of aileron tab adjustment or by holding a constant lateral control pressure. However, this puts the aircraft
The c.g. is not necessarily a fixed point; its location depends on the
distribution of items loaded in the aircraft. As variable load items are
shifted or expended, there is a resultant shift in c.g. location. The pilot
should realize that if the mass center of an aircraft is displaced too
far forward on the longitudinal axis, a nose-heavy condition will result.
Conversely, if the mass center is displaced too far aft on the longitudinal
axis, a tail-heavy condition will result (fig. 3). It is possible that
an unfavorable location of the c.g. could produce such an unstable condition
that the pilot could lose control of the aircraft. In any event, flying
an aircraft which is out of balance, either in a tail-heavy or a nose-heavy
direction, may produce increased pilot fatigue with obvious effects on
the safety and efficiency of flight. The pilot's natural correction for
longitudinal unbalance is a change of trim to remove the excessive control
pressure. However, excessive trim has the effect of reducing primary control
travel in the direction the trim is applied.
Adverse and abnormal balance conditions affect the flying ability of
an airplane with respect to the same flight characteristics as those mentioned
for an excess weight condition. In addition, there are two essential airplane
attributes which may be seriously reduced by improper balance; these are
STABILITY and CONTROL. Loading in a nose-heavy direction causes problems
in controlling and raising the nose, especially during takeoff and landing.
Loading in a tail-heavy direction has a most serious effect upon longitudinal
stability even to the extent of reducing the airplane's ability to recover
from stalls and spins.
|Limits for the location of the aircraft's c.g. are established by the
manufacturer. These are the fore and aft limits beyond which the c.g. should
not be located for flight. The limits are published for each aircraft in
the FAA Aircraft Type Certificate Data Sheets or Specifications. If, after
loading, the c.g. does not fall within the allowable limits, it will be
necessary to shift loads before flight is attempted.
The forward c.g. limit is often established at a location determined by the landing characteristics of the aircraft. It may be possible to maintain stable and safe cruising flight with the c.g. ahead of the prescribed forward limit, but since landing is one of the most critical phases of flight, the forward c.g. limit is placed at a relatively rear position to avoid damage to the aircraft structure when landing (fig. 4).
|A restricted forward c.g. limit is also specified to assure
that sufficient elevator deflection is available at minimum airspeed. When
structural limitations or large stick forces do not limit the forward c.g.
position, it is located at the position where full-up elevator is required
to obtain a high angle of attack for landing. The aft c.g. limit is the
most rearward position at which the c.g. can he located for the most critical
maneuver or operation. As the c.g. moves aft, a less stable condition occurs,
which decreases the ability of the aircraft to right itself after maneuvering
or after disturbances by gusts (fig. 5).
For some aircraft, the c.g. limits, both fore and aft, may be specified to vary as gross weight changes. They may also be shifted for certain operational procedures, such as acrobatic flight, retraction of the landing gear, or the installation of special loads and devices that change the flight characteristics.
|The actual location of the c.g. can be altered by many variable factors
- usually under control of the pilot. Placement of baggage and cargo items
can both determine c.g. and be used to control c.g. In addition, the assignment
of seats to particular passengers can be used as a means of obtaining the
most favorable balance (fig. 6). If the aircraft is tail-heavy, it is only
logical "horse sense" to place a heavy passenger in a front seat.
The loading and selective use of fuel from various tank locations can have a decided effect on aircraft balance. Large aircraft must have fuel loaded in a particular manner determined by the total load, and then the tanks must be selected in a sequence that will keep the load in balance. Swept wing aircraft have special problems along these lines.
|Fuel in outboard tanks has a tendency to rotate the aircraft
in a tail-heavy direction and fuel in inboard tanks adds to a nose-heavy
condition (fig. 7). The use of fuel from swept wing tanks must be carefully
managed to keep c.g. under control.
The shifting of cargo or baggage during flight can result in several hazards, not the least of which is a dangerous balance condition. If the c.g. of an aircraft is already near the forward or aft limit, a significant longitudinal shift of cargo may make control difficult or impossible. This hazard is most likely to occur in aircraft having cargo poorly secured in the main cabin. Particular care must be taken to restrain this type load with proper tiedown devices.
Weight and balance control is a matter of serious concern to all pilots and to many people on the ground who are involved in the support of flight. The pilot has control over the loading and fuel management within established limits for the particular aircraft. The pilot has weight and balance information available in the form of aircraft records and operating handbooks. Loading information is also available in the form of placards in baggage compartments and on tank caps. The aircraft owner or operator should make certain that up to date information is available in the aircraft for the pilot's use.
The owner or operator of the aircraft should insure that maintenance personnel make appropriate entries in the aircraft records when repairs or modifications have been accomplished. Weight changes must be accounted for and proper notations made in weight and balance records. Without such notations, the pilot has no foundation upon which to base calculations and decisions.
The aircraft manufacturer and the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) have major roles in designing and certificating the aircraft with a safe and workable means of controlling weight and balance. If the prototype aircraft has weight and balance control problems which are potentially dangerous, design changes are made before the aircraft is type certificated.

GOLD | Professional Print Campaign of 2017
Area 23 and Depomed
Without Warning
Lazanda is a rapid onset opioid, delivered in nasal spray form to alleviate breakthrough cancer pain.
Judges were highly impressed by this campaign's creative concept of integrating steel traps into ordinary daily scenarios, such as brushing your teeth or going for a walk, to illustrate that breakthrough cancer pain is an excruciating experience that strikes without warning.
"Stunning visuals combined with widely recognized metaphors really deliver the suddenness of the pain," said one judge.
"The imagery is very compelling, and the campaign helped to personalize the problem," a second judge noted.
Prior to developing the effort, the Area 23 team spoke with medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, and pain management specialists nationwide to gain insight into BTPc and its treatments. The team learned that BTPc is often overlooked or undiagnosed, and it can lead to patients stopping their cancer treatment regimens.
The campaign's simple, direct copy reinforces the seriousness of BTPc and highlights the efficacy and benefits of Lazanda.
"It gives HCPs a window into the brutally harsh reality that BTPc 'strikes without warning,' so they need Lazanda, which 'works without waiting,'" an agency representative noted.
Highlighting the benefit of nasal-administration was also important given that many cancer patients experience complications that make it difficult or impossible for them to swallow.
The campaign helped drive a 20% in-crease in sales during Q1 2017.

Financial Definition of HEAVY INDUSTRY
What It Is
Heavy industry refers to industries that produce "heavy" products.
How It Works
Oil, mining, shipbuilding, steel, chemicals, machinery manufacturing and similar industries are examples of heavy industry. They are very capital-intensive, meaning that they require a lot of machinery and equipment to produce. Often, they are criticized for their environmental impacts.
Why It Matters
Heavy industries often sell their products to other industries rather than to end users and consumers. In other words, they usually make products that are used to make other products. Accordingly, when a down economy begins to recover, heavy industry is often first to show signs of improvement. This makes the sector a leading economic indicator.

Roland Barthes Narrative
successful stories require actions which change the lives of the characters in the story. They also contain some sort of resolution, where that change is registered, and which creates a new equilibrium for the characters involved.
Roland Barthes argued that narrative is present in written literature, oral conversation, drama, film, painting, dance, and mime. from evident.
Roland Barthes describes a text as
"a galaxy of signifiers, not a structure of signifieds; it has no beginning; it is reversible; we gain access to it by several entrances, none of which can be authoritatively declared to be the main one; the codes it mobilizes extend as far as the eye can read, they are indeterminable...the systems of meaning can take over this absolutely plural text, but their number is never closed, based as it is on the infinity of language..." (S/Z - 1974 translation) What he is basically saying is that a text is like a tangled ball of threads which needs unravelling so we can separate out the colours. Once we start to unravel a text, we encounter an absolute plurality of potential meanings. We can start by looking at a narrative in one way, from one viewpoint, bringing to bear one set of previous experience, and create one meaning for that text. You can continue by unravelling the narrative from a different angle, by pulling a different thread if you like, and create an entirely different meaning. And so on. An infinite number of times. If you wanted to.

I love it when the Mormon Tabernacle Choir sing song out of the Primary Songbook. The principles are at the most basic, yet the most clear for anyone to understand. The melody is simple yet they bring in great harmonies which increase the spirit of the song.
I Will Follow God's Plan
With excitement
My life is a gift; my life has a plan.
My life has a purpose; in heav'n it began.
My choice was to come to this lovely home on earth
And seek for God's light to direct me from birth.
I will follow God's plan for me,
Holding fast to his word and his love.
I will work, and I will pray;
I will always walk in his way.
Then I will be happy on earth
And in my home above.

Most magic players heading to Grand Prix Providence this weekend are going to have access to pretty much the same recent results, articles, and decklists as everyone else, which greatly influences what people decide to sleeve up. Everybody is looking at roughly the same set of data, and most players could be expected to draw roughly similar conclusions. So, in trying to anticipate the metagame for this weekend, it makes sense to start with the basics: looking straightforwardly at the results of the Pro Tour.
This past weekend, there were six-and-a-half distinct archetypes in the Pro Tour top 8. That's a fairly diverse mix and might appear to make the prospect of proffering predictions unpalatable. The finals saw two different takes on blue-based control decks square off, while various builds of red-based aggro and combo-like decks built around Aetherworks Marvel and Dynavolt Tower rounded things out.
But, if you dig a bit below the surface, as most players likely have by now, you will see a whole bunch of W/U Midrange- or Flash-style decks. There were four decks that went 9-1 in the Standard portion of the tournament, and all four of them were either W/U Midrange or W/U Flash, including the build Joey Manner took to the quarterfinals. I don't know what could more loudly scream, "here is a hidden gem," except, perhaps, a moonshine-drunk prospector.
While W/U might have simply been especially well-suited to combat the Aetherworks Marvel-heavy metagame of the PT, I think those numbers will likely prove too strong for most players to ignore in Providence. If you plan on attending the Grand Prix, I think it is reasonable to expect a healthy portion of players to be on this deck, and it would serve you well to have a plan for it.
So what else? Let's continue digging through the best performing decks from the Swiss. Here is the complete list of archetypes (as defined by the Wizards coverage team) that posted eight wins or better:
- U/W Midrange: 3
- Jeskai Control: 3
- Grixis Control: 2
- B/G Delirium: 2
- U/W Flash: 2
- R/W Tokens: 1
- U/W Control: 1
- B/R Madness: 1
- B/R Aggro: 1
- U/R Spells: 1
- R/W Vehicles: 1
- Bant Midrange: 1
- R/G Energy: 1
- Temur Aetheworks: 1
- 4-Color Vehicles: 1
- Sultai Midrange: 1
- Mardu Vehicles: 1
Jeskai Control was another archetype that was quite well-represented, and made it all the way to the finals of the PT where it squared off against Grixis Control—itself another archetype that put multiple pilots into the ranks of the best Standard performers. It stands to reason that Torrential Gearhulk is poised to rain down on Rhode Island as well.
Where do we go from here? One option could be to try to get aggressive and go underneath the expected, expensive, Gearhulk-heavy meta. Since the coverage team counted various flavors of Vehicles and other red-based decks as different archetypes, it may not be immediately apparent how strong a showing they put up as well. Altogether, B/R Aggro, Mardu Vehicles, R/W Vehicles, and R/W Tokens put five copies among the top Standard performers.
These decks are not your creature-based aggro decks of old and have card advantage and selection, as well as a number of recursive threats. Veteran Motorist and Depala, Pilot Exemplar both help the deck keep cards flowing, and Scrapheap Scrounger can provide a recurrent form of pressure. Gideon, Ally of Zendikar is, as always, an all-star in pressuring control decks.
Vehicles might have a tougher time, though, if U/W Spell Queller decks prove as popular as I would expect. U/W can itself put on quite a bit of pressure, and Spell Queller can keep the aggression coming while providing simultaneous disruption. Not to mention that Selfless Spirit and Archangel Avacyn can make combat quite tricky for their opponents.
Another option to consider, and the first thing I'd be interested in testing for Providence, is Metalwork Colossus. While the deck did not have the strongest showing—with only two copies at X-3 or better—this was, I think, respectable, given that there were only 10 total copies on day 2.
While Colossus might not be the best choice against Aetherworks Marvel given its dearth of disruption, I think it could be much better positioned if Marvel dips in popularity as anticipated. Colossus strategies are certainly vulnerable to being run over by Vehicles, but are also highly customizable and with an improved mixture of removal spells should be able to improve the match-up from where it stood in week 1 of the format. There are a plethora of options such as Spatial Contortion, playing red for Galvanic Bombardment or Harnessed Lightning, or white for Blessed Alliance and Fumigate (as one of the PT lists opted to do). I like some mixture of Contortion and red-based removal.
Colossus does seem like it ought to have strong match-up against both control strategies and U/W. Metalwork Colossus and Elder Deep-Fiend are invulnerable to Spell Queller, and the smaller eggs-type cards like Prophetic Prism and Metalspinner's Puzzleknot are so abundant and interchangeable that losing one of those to the flash Spirit is generally not a huge deal. The ability to recur Colossi while playing a bevy of card drawing in the form or Prisms, Puzzleknots and Hedron Archive, as well as utility lands such Spawning Bed, ought to also help ensure a healthy ability to out-grind more removal-based control decks.
I haven't yet had the chance to test this deck, so take this is with a grain (or heavy shake) of salt, but I would start my testing for Providence with something like this list that 5-0'ed a Standard league. I'd be keeping a close eye on that Haunted Cloak and lose that Combustible Gearhulk and would like to find space for a few more removal spells in the main, but this is roughly where I would begin.

August has been a pretty busy and eventful month, and I always enjoy doing a little round up to catch up on what's been the best part of it.
1. Going out with friends. For the first time since I moved here I went to an actual club, and guess what? It was fun. Surprisingly I went out twice and both time I had fun. I'm excited to do it again soon!
2. Back to university. I went back to uni this month, and even though I'm not happy about spending so many hours at uni and so much homework, but I was glad to see my friends again. Catching up with them and going back to spending time with them was fun.
3. I won a Sephora giveaway. Yes, I won 50$ to spend in Sephora and I actually got the stuff today and it was so amazing. I still can't believe I won.
4. Reunion with friends. I had a lovely reunion with two friends, who we used to be really closed back when I was in 8th grade. It was nice to catch up and know that we are still friends.
5. Baking cookies. I don't remember when the last time I baked before this month was. I remembered how relaxing and fun baking can actually be. Now, I'm finding stupid excuses to bake.
6. Voting for the first time. Early this month, I voted for the first time and it was such an incredible experience.
7. Formosa sunset. I remembered my mom saying "look at the sunset", I turned and saw this beautiful sunset right behind me.
8. Skype with friends. Since we are all spread around the globe, it was really nice to find some time and catch up with them.
9. Forever 21 clothes. I ordered some clothes in Forever 21 this month, which surprisingly haven't done in a while, and I loved them all, I talked about some of them on my previous post.
10. Reading for fun. With so much to read for school last semester I was happy to finally find some time to relax and read something I actually want to read.
11. Pancakes. My grandma came over and she made me pancakes which were delicious and it was really nice from her.
12. New semester. It's so nice to start a new semester, it's a fresh start with different subjects.
13. Ed Sheeran, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis new song. I did mention this in my favorites, but this song is so amazing and it gives me goose bumps. I literally can't stop listening.
What made you happy this month?

So what is Sous Vide? Sous vide is French for "under vacuum" and describes the cooking of raw ingredients in heat-stable, vacuumized pouches at precise temperatures. Sous vide has several benefits: it allows almost-perfect reproducibility; it gives greater control over doneness than traditional cooking methods; food doesn't have to be cooked well-done to be safe; tough cuts of meat can be made tender with sous vide and still be a medium or a medium-rare doneness; it helps inhibit off-flavors from oxidation and it prevents evaporative losses of flavor volatiles and moisture during cooking. In sous vide cooking, temperature control is essential. Sous vide cooking requires a temperature controlled water bath and a means to vacuum seal the foods to be cooked.
