Benefits at a glance
- Low-cost tooling/design iterations
- Flat, stress-and burr-free
- Prototype to volume – fast
- Accuracy to ±0.005mm
- R-Bond technique for insulation and bonding
Motor laminations – also referred to as electrical laminations, stator laminations, rotor laminations, pole laminations and segmented stator laminations – are profiled from electrical steels, stacked then bonded to form the core of transformers, or the stator and rotor of electric motors.
Laminations are often profiled used stamping, laser cutting or wire EDM, all of which can induce residual stress which alters the magnetic permeability of electrical steels and burrs which can cause problems during winding.
As a non-contact, non-heat inducing machining process, photo etching does not alter the properties or magnetic permeability of electrical steels. This ensures burr- and stress-free laminations can be manufactured with zero distortion.
Photo etched laminations are extremely accurate and concentric, achieving tolerances to ±0.025mm over a diameter to 600mm.
Photo etching can be combined with wire EDM for even greater precision to ±0.005mm.
Prototype to volume – fast
Photo etching uses digital tooling, which means prototypes can be produced in hours, not months like expensive steel press tools.
As one of the world few producing etching specialists, Precision Micro can etch one-off loose lamination prototypes or stacks, to millions each month.
Stacking and bonding
Photo etching uses a specially developed dielectric resist to protect electrical steels during the etching process. By applying heat and pressure, the resist can be used to fuse together and insulate laminations – a technique we call R-Bond. This novel approach offers an economical alternative to conventional riveted or welded laminations.
Typical Applications
- Electrical laminations
- Stator laminations
- Rotor laminations
- Pole laminations
- Segmented stator laminations
- Electrical steels
- Silicon steel
- Nickel alloys
- Cobalt alloys

"So it's a kind of … 'mock-opera' then?" someone said.

"Grey's Anatomy" fans will be delighted to hear that the tenth season of the ABC medical drama will begin production in just one month on July 16.
Just after midnight on Sunday morning Camilla Luddington, who plays Dr. Jo Wilson, on the hit ABC drama took to Twitter to announce her excitement over the news of the production start date.
"#Countdown. In 1 month exactly ill throw on my scrubs and step back into Seattle Grace. (Grey/Sloan) now what was wilson doing last..?" the actress tweeted.
Luddington certainly has something to be excited for as she was recently promoted to a regular actress on the show, TVGuide.com reports.
Other interns who will be joining Liddington in promotion to series regulars include Gaius Charles (Shane Ross), Jerrika Hinton (Stephanie Edwards) and Tessa Ferrer (Leah Murphy).
While the return of the four interns is met with delight, it's not exactly the most telling casting information. Audiences are waiting on the edge of their seats to hear if James Pickens Jr. (Richard Webber) will be returning to the show for season 10. Perhaps the biggest cliffhanger of season 9 concerns Dr. Richard Webber. It's not clear if he is alive or dead. But it seems nobody at "Grey's Anatomy" is going provide answers about Webber's state.
"I love that people are asking [if he's alive or dead] … I'm not going to answer it because I like that it's a question," executive producer and show creator Shonda Rhimes told Entertainment Weekly.
Looks like fans will have to wait until season 10 to find out if Dr. Richard Webber survived.

text: MINDKULT's debut Witch's Oath enthralled with its hyper-fuzzed guitars, booming low tones, laid back obscurity and morbid lyricism, but Lucifer's Dream takes that formula into exponential dimensions and delivers an equally affecting outing. Lucifer's Dream is Fowst's new opus and it features six mid-to-slow tempo dirges that seem to be spiked with arousing psychedelia and at others with nostalgic arrangements that hark back at that damaged age of seventies occultism. Tune down and drop out forever.

Selena Gomez Admits She Only Wants 'Good' People In Her Life: Dissing Zedd & Justin?
Uh oh. Did Selena Gomez just make a jab at her exes, Zedd and Justin Bieber, during her Z100 radio interview on Monday, June 22? While talking about her personal life, she made it very clear she finally knows who is 'good' for her and who is not.
Selena Gomez, 22, is really excited about her new music and the powerful message it sends to those she's loved and lost. Among those two are Justin Bieber, 21, and Zedd, 25, both of whom she recently dissed and dismissed after their relationships did not work out. So, was that who she was referring to when she told Elvis Duran & the Z Morning Zoo that she has a pretty good idea of who the "good" people are in her life?
She has so much to be excited right now as she promotes her brand new music, but unfortunately for Selena that also means she has to face the press about her personal life. Selena's made it very clear that her new sound and songs are all from deep within her mind and soul, which makes them much more special than her previous music. Not to mention, Selena claims she now knows how to weed the bad eggs out of her life to keep herself happy. That might just mean you, Justin and Zedd!
"I have to find a balance of who I want in my life and who isn't good for me," Selena told famed radio host Elvis Duran on Monday morning, June 22. Although she wouldn't clarify who she was talking about specifically, it's likely safe to assume that she means an ex — or two. Selena went on to explain that she has two roommates now who are "so far removed" from Hollywood, so they help keep her grounded.
"You have to surrounded yourself with good people," she shared. So true, Selena! Thankfully she has her two roommates, as well as her Hollywood BFF's Taylor Swift and Lily Collins, to keep the "bad" guys and girls out.
Tell us, HollywoodLifers — Do YOU think Selena was referring to her exes? Comment below with your thoughts!

Diaper Rash
Your child's diaper rash may be atopic dermatitis or eczema. Sometimes called the "itch that rashes," this condition is characterized by redness and irritation of the skin. It is more common in children who have allergies, but the exact cause of eczema is unknown.
Severe atopic dermatitis can affect the skin all over the body, causing obvious redness, dryness, scaliness, irritation, and infection. The diaper area is often less affected than other parts of the body, probably because the diaper keeps the skin moist and prevents children from scratching the rash.

Louis Tomlinson Having Sonogram Pictures Of His Baby Texted To Him
The due date for Louis Tomlinson and Briana Jungwirth's first child is getting closer and closer, but don't think Louis is panicking. The One Direction member who said he'd be a "hands on dad" is doing just that!
Louis Tomlinson, 22, is prepping to be a first-time dad in the sweetest way: having Briana Jungwirth, 22, text him photos of each and every one of her sonograms, according to one of our EXCLUSIVE sources! Louis is thrilled to meet his child, and wants to experience everything he can during the pregnancy, even when he's on the road with 1D.
"Louis has been really involved with the details of his baby to be," a source told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. "He knows when Briana has doctor visits, and always wants to know all of the details. He's even asked Briana to text him photos of the sonogram."
It's nice to hear that Louis is being so supportive of Briana throughout her pregnancy, and staying by her side the entire way, even if he can't be there in person. Louis is on tour with One Direction, so he can't be there in Los Angeles all the time, but he's making sure he does everything he can — and he's getting totally excited!
"At first he was standoffish about becoming a parent, but now he's excited," our EXCLUSIVE source said. "He's not controlling at all, but will sweetly remind Briana to take good care of her health and eat healthy foods. He's already a doting dad. It's really adorable."
Aww, these two are going to make such good parents! Louis cares about Briana so much, and wants her to be healthy and happy — and you know that he's going to make sure of it. HollywoodLifers, are you excited to see Louis become a dad? Tell us in the comments and take our poll!

Another new credit card is hitting the market today, with Citi Business and American Airlines teaming up to offer the CitiBusiness/AAdvantage World MasterCard. This card will give a five percent annual mileage bonus on purchases, double miles for all American Airlines purchases as well as purchases from partnering merchants, and a free checked bag for card members and up to four travel companions.
Miles and More Miles
For small business owners who find themselves traveling frequently, getting free flights and bonus miles is a top priority. Any business card that offers a way to earn more miles is good news, and the CitiBusiness/AAdvantage World MasterCard will let them earn 30,000 bonus miles when they spend $1,000 on the card within the first three months of opening an account.
After that, card members get two miles for every dollar spent on American Airlines purchases, as well as certain office supply shops, telecommunications and car rental companies. Purchases everywhere else will earn one mile per dollar.
VIP Travel Benefits
When traveling on American Airlines, small business owners using this credit card, along with up to four of their companions, will get priority boarding – giving them extra time to put bags into overhead compartments and settle into their seats. The card holder and four travel companions can also check their first bag for free, which saves up to $250 round-trip.
Once in flight, card members save 25 percent on in-flight purchases like food, beverages, and headsets. Every dollar spent on board will earn two frequent flyer miles, so go ahead and order that extra glass of wine while you enjoy a movie.
Anniversary Gifts
When renewing card membership each year, CitiBusiness/AAdvantage members will get a five percent mileage bonus based on their yearly spending, and if they spend at least $30,000 a year, card members can buy a companion fare for only $99 when purchasing a domestic round-trip ticket. (Taxes will be extra, and may be up to $44 per ticket.)
Business Bonuses
Since this is a card for small business owners, of course it carries special features for businesses. To help business owners better manage their spending, they`ll get annual and quarterly summaries of their accounts, which will break down spending by employee, category, and amount. They`ll also have access to 24/7 assistance with travel arrangements like hotel reservations, dining, car rental, and more.
Card holders can order cards for employees and set a separate spending limit for each card – that way your frugal office manager can have a bigger budget for office supplies, while your spendthrift business partner gets a low limit to prevent any three-martini lunches.
Talking Points
In the press release announcing the new credit card, Suzanne Rubin, president of American Airlines` AAdvantage Loyalty Program, said, "Business owners value the rewards and enhanced customer experience offered by this card. From the flight discounts to the mileage bonuses, all of these benefits highlight American`s commitment to the success and continued loyalty of our customers who are business owners."
Ralph Andretta, head of co-brands and loyalty for Citi, said that the two companies "recognize the important role of small businesses in our economy, and have worked together to develop a product that helps take their travel and spending farther. This new card delivers what we`ve heard small businesses want and need: benefits that save time and money when they travel, and ways to get more from their spending like an annual mileage bonus."

Indiana Not To Renew Contract oF Coach Mike Freitag
Dec. 2, 2009
Courtesy of Indiana Athletics
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Indiana University Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Fred Glass announced today that the contract of Men's Soccer Coach Mike Freitag would not be renewed. Coach Freitag was notified yesterday of the non-renewal of his one year contract effective Dec. 31, 2009.
"Mike is a great person who has contributed much to Indiana University," Glass said. "Still, upon a careful and deliberate review of both objective and subjective information about the program, and after talking at length with Mike, I have become convinced that this hallowed program needs new leadership. I like Mike and wish him well."
Coach Freitag played soccer at Indiana from 1976-1979, earning All-America honors in 1979. He was a full-time assistant coach for Indiana from 1993-2003. He became head coach in 2004 and that year led IU to its seventh National Championship in Men's Soccer.
The contracts of Assistant Coaches Phil Presser and Aleksey Korol were also not renewed.
A search for Coach Freitag's successor will begin immediately. Glass expressed a strong preference for one of the many distinguished alumni of Indiana University soccer as a successor to Freitag, and noted that IU would be reaching out to a number of them.

This is an unexpected tale with a beautiful outcome. Mrs. Bandi Nima Sherpa Tenzing first visited Nuwakot in early 2007, when her husband Mr. Tashi Wangchuk Tenzing was climbing Everest from the North side. Mr. Ramesh Mahat, who is now the General Secretary of Nepal Green Tara Foundation, had previously asked her to join him for a tour of Nuwakot. The idea had been to walk up to Sikhar Besi for a viewing of a possible Coffee plantation site and to see if Coffee plantation was indeed a feasible notion. There were no roads for vehicles to travel on, the infrastructure was very backward and barely visible and there were only dirt tracks to walk on. At a quick glance no one could have imagined that a wholly integrated and functional coffee production estate could be founded in such a derelict location. Nonetheless it is now a reality.
During Mrs. Bandi Nima Sherpa Tenzing's first visit all the local residents of the village were very cheerful and glad of their presence. The residents had even decided to walk all the way from Saat Besi to Shikhar Besi along with the inquisitive group, who had come from Kathmandu to see the potential opportunities lying around Nuwakot. This was a 4-hour walk, during which all the people were busy trying to convince Mrs. Bandi Nima Sherpa Tenzing that starting up a coffee plantation in their area would be a very lucrative and brilliant idea, stressing on the close proximity between Kathmandu (Nepal's capital) and Nuwakot. She was justly impressed by what the area had to offer.
Eventually when her Husband did return from his triumphant and successful Everest summit, which marked his 3rd summit of Everest. With all the celebrations and much awaited reunion, for a brief period she had forgotten all about this venture and its prospects. Until Mr. Ramesh Mahat reminded her of their prior visit to Nuwakot, he then convinced her for another visit but this time she was adamant on taking her husband along. She wanted him to see what she had seen. After several visits to the site and the neighboring areas the couple had decided, that them taking the opportunity in developing this backward region would be a worthy, just and noble cause.
Throug their visits they had also gotten to know that the area was infested with human trafficking due to its remote location and that most of its able bodied villagers were migrating to urban areas (specifically Kathmandu) working numerous odd jobs such as rickshaw driver, taxi driver, push cart handler and others for barely minimum wages. These issues motivated them further to lend a helping hand to this region.
Since the establishment of Nuwa Estate in May 2007 both husband and wife have been working together for the last 7 years, tirelessly aspiring to bring out the best in both the coffee and the people responsible for the production and distribution of Nuwa Estate coffee.

How Point Solutions stack up against Scalable Solutions
Technology-driven VAT regulation and enforcement measures are sweeping the
globe. Tighter integration between government and business - from real-time
reporting to eInvoicing - is forcing companies to revamp their processes and
adopt new technologies.
Businesses have two options for VAT Compliance and Reporting: point solutions
or scalable solutions. Here is a look at how they compare for acquiring capability,
decreasing costs and simplifying operations.

WASHINGTON — An armed drone operated by the Central Intelligence Agency this week killed a top Qaeda operative responsible for plotting terrorist attacks inside Pakistan, two American officials said on Thursday.
The killing of Abu Hafs al-Shariri occurred Sunday, the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. It is the latest strike in the C.I.A.'s campaign of targeted killings of Qaeda operatives that has intensified under the Obama administration.
The strike comes less than a month after a C.I.A. drone killed Atiyah Abd al-Rahman, a Libyan who was promoted to become Al Qaeda's second-ranking operative after the death of Osama bin Laden in May. The C.I.A. in recent months has also killed Ilyas Kashmiri, a Pakistani militant commander who worked closely with Al Qaeda's leadership.
Little is known publicly about Mr. Shariri, a Saudi whom a senior administration official said acted as a liaison between Al Qaeda and the Pakistani Taliban, the group that has directed a wave of attacks against Pakistani government installations and hotels frequented by Westerners. According to an Interpol alert, Mr. Shariri was 33.
The C.I.A. drone campaign has strained America's relationship with Pakistan, even though top leaders in Islamabad have tacitly blessed the operations. The pace of the drone strikes appears to have left the cadre of Qaeda operatives in Pakistan reeling, and American intelligence officials now believe that Al Qaeda's affiliate in Yemen is a more potent threat than the "core" group of operatives hiding in Pakistan.
A second American official called Sunday's strike "another blow at the core of Al Qaeda" because Mr. Shariri had been set to take on a more prominent role inside the organization after the death of Mr. Rahman, and because Al Qaeda is having ever greater trouble replenishing its senior ranks.
"The loss of their chief of operations in Pakistan, an individual who played a key operational and administrative role for the group, will pose a challenge for Zawahiri," said the official, referring to Al Qaeda's leader Ayman al-Zawahri.Continue reading the main story
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because, despite the fact that C.I.A. drone strikes are widely discussed and reported publicly, the spy agency's drone program remains classified.Continue reading the main story

Venezuela have been in turmoil for more than a week. The dispute was instigated first when the supreme court's rule made controversy and then was annulled. The court conveyed some powers of National Assembly, controlled by opposition, to Judiciary. It was, then, during the last weekend that the call for more protest was announced by the opposition in reaction to banning of former opposition presidential candidate and current Miranda Governor Henrique Capriles Radonski from official jobs for fifteen years for "illicit administrative practices."
The protests, nevertheless, seem to be, at least partly, under the influence of foreign meddling. The curious meeting of Organization of American States (OAS) attended only by Argentina, Mexico, the US and Canada which supported the protests and was reacted by other members of OAS is one example. Besides, the European union criticized the Venezuelan government in a statement. A part of the statement reads:
Heavily sanctioning the opposition – most recently an opposition politician Henrique Capriles Radonski who was banned from political life for 15 years - does not help to lower the unrest and the tensions in the country
The opposition and the protesters were also backed by Mariano Rajoy, the Spanish president, who tweeted, "We are with liberty and democracy. Our solidarity with @hcapriles." Mauricio Macri, the right-wing Argentinian president, announced his compliment for the opposition by accusing the government of violating the codes of democracy.
All these foreign forces and invasions in domestic issues have led to chaos and turbulence in Caracas. The protesters are not reformists who want modifications in administration of the country. Evidences show that they are agitators who want to change the regime in Venezuela by illegal wildcat marches, destroying public properties, blocking the roads, frightening the people, and attacking public institutions.

Peter Berger, professor emeritus of religion, sociology and theology at Boston University, examined the globalization of religious pluralism and how the peaceful coexistence of different racial, ethnic and religious groups has become a global phenomenon. He argues that pluralism – not secularization – and the resulting emergence of religious choice is the best model for understanding religion in a globalizing world. A question-and-answer session followed his presentation.
i found the transcript of the scholarly discussion and few of the points discussed very interesting. just quoting a few highlighted areas. the complete transcripts link is at the end.
"We live in an age of overwhelming religious globalization"
"... what is happening with the globalization of religion is a globalization of pluralism. Pluralism, which was a much more geographically, much more limited phenomenon 150 or 200 years ago, has become a global phenomenon, and that has enormous implications ...
I would also argue that in terms of the effect on religion, pluralism is about the most important global fact to look at – not secularization.
The idea was very simple: the more modernity, the less religion. Modernization means a decline in religion. I think it was wrong. And I, along with most people in the field, changed my mind about 25 or so years ago, not for some philosophical or theological reason, but simply because the empirical evidence made it impossible to adhere to this theory.
.. one reason why secularization theory just collapses under its own weight is the United States, a strongly religious country, and if modernity is the key variable, are you going to seriously argue that the United States is less modern than Stockholm?"
One of the prominent scholarly mind of our contemporary time, Peter Berger takes on subjects such as what is pluralism, modernity, secularity, denomination. The whole discussion transcript can be read here.

Hey good people. I hope you are all doing fine. Welcome to the last blog post of the year 2013.
Today on the blog is a little deviation from the tradition, of weddings and engagements. Today I bring to you my travels and adventures into the most scenic part of Kenya that I have had the privilege of visiting thus far.
This is The 8th Wonder of The World. . . Spectacular Maasai Mara.
Sometime at the beginning of December I got an opportunity to visit the Mara and naturally I could not leave my lovely camera behind. So here are the chronicles of my 3 day adventure with my extended family. It was a mix of fun, rest(much-needed) and adventure (much sought after).
Please save up and get some time to visit this great ecosystem. It is a great experience that you will not regret. However the Mara is not for the faint-hearted or impatient. You will be faced with rough roads, bugs and flies, and chasing animals that hardly want to be found. But all this is what makes the adventure worth the while.
Word of advice, here are the items to carry… (These are bare essentials)
1. Bug spray (if you really do not mind flies all over you)
2. A camera (with a zoom from here to Mars)
3. Loads of water
4. Pocket money to buy for yourself, and your friends back in the city, great handcrafted jewellery at awesome prices.
5. An experienced and friendly guide and a great car to handle the terrain. Preferably a 4×4 land-cruiser.
I implore any bride-to-be out there to please dare do their wedding at the Maasai Mara because the photos will just be amazing ;). Enough talk, enjoy the scenery.
Gazelle or Antelope… I cannot quite remember what the guide, Musa, said. The no-nonsense Buffalo. We got a flat tire on day 1. 50 meters away from a pack of lions. The King himself having early dinner. Can you spot the Vultures perched up? There is a Leopard in this photo. Can you spot it? There he goes. I love sunsets. Very calming. My aunts, cousins and my sister checking into the Mara Sidai Tented Camp. He is tall, no doubt. Photos I only saw in calendars came to life. How closer could I get to the big guy. 🙂 Spectacular. I tried levitating… I did good. That's my small sister. My aunt got her fashion sense on. And so did my sister. Here is where the action happens during the wildebeest migration. So calm when we were there. I loved this photo so much i had to print an A2 size of it just to hang it in my living room. My small cousin had the best seat in the house. We stopped for lunch right at the heart of the Mara. We caught up with the King of the Jungle after lunch. This is the Wildebeest or the Gnu. My aunt had threatened not to go home until we sighted the Cheetah. And we finally did. As the Elephants walked home (somewhere), so did we as we drove off the park. There was love in the Mara too. My cousin Ken and his lovely girlfriend Nadia. And on the last day we had a camp fire with the locals.
So of the Big Five animals, that is the Lion, Leopard, Black Rhino, African Elephant and the Cape Buffalo, it is only the Rhino that evaded us on our 3 day adventure. Hopefully we will catch it next time :).
Thanks for dropping by and taking you time to read through the blog; I appreciate it and please do leave you comments below. God bless and Merry Christmas to you all. Goodbye 2013; Happy New 2014 here we come ;). Amazing weddings coming to the blog in January 2014.

The Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization announced on Wednesday that Russia plans to complete a network of systems that will verify its compliance with the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty.
Russia plans to finish its creation of the International Monitoring System in 2014, the creation of which will help to verify its compliance with the CTBT. In its current state, Russia has 25 networks operating, second only to the United States.
There are a total of 200 networks working around the world at the moment that translate their data to the CTBTO headquarters in Vienna. That number should eventually reach 337 networks that will not only detect nuclear tests, but be able to warn about tsunamis and earthquakes.
In Russia, seismic, infra-sound and radionuclide monitoring is currently set up in the networks, with more to come in the future. Sonar systems are left off the list because they are established in international waters.
There are currently 183 countries signed on to the CTBT, with 161 states having ratified it. Supporters include Russia, France and Britain, who have signed and ratified, and the United States and China, who have only signed.

**DISCLOSURE: Personally we (Silence is Consent) do not think this is true but at the same time, as you can see for yourself, it was reported and then the news feed was immediately cut off. Mistake by ABC? At this point, who the hell knows but we call BULLSH-T!
As reported by: Conservative Daily Post
"Hillary's health concerns have caused heated debates on both sides of the political spectrum. Over the past few weeks, the public has watched as Hillary's health has gradually gotten worse.
Just a few weeks ago, her campaign staff notified everyone that Hillary was healthy and doing well. That narrative gradually changed as we all witnessed her excessive coughing fits and even seizures.
Yesterday is what really did it though. One man captured footage of Hillary seizing up and completely collapsing before being dragged into her campaign vehicle. And to top it all off, as it happened, the valet drivers of the vehicle quickly positioned themselves to block additional camera footage from being gathered.
The damage had already been done though. The entire nation witnessed what happened and there's no way they can hide it.
Now it looks like the story has gotten even worse. Based on rogue reports, it is now our understanding that Hillary Rodham Clinton may in fact be dead.Yes, you read that correct. After airing on ABC news in New York for merely seconds, it was pulled from the air:"
.@trump2016fan Why did ABC in NY on local News and on web say Hillary died at Montefiore Medical Hospital then blank it off the air?
— Deplorable Suzanne (@suzost) September 12, 2016
"This isn't a random report. Don't believe it? We didn't believe it at first either, until we saw an additional report of the same exact occurrence:"
"At this point, we don't have all the news. All we know for sure is that Hillary Clinton may have actually died at a local hospital in New York City."
The ABC New York news feed was cut immediately after announcing "Hillary Clinton's death"

New traffic lights installed on the busy intersections throughout the St Kitts and Nevis capital will rectify a number of traffic issues when they're switched on, says the head of the police's traffic department.
Inspector Carl Caines, speaking during a government radio show, said that "our whole objective is safety."
But in addition to this, he expects the traffic lights to reduce the number of collisions, ease traffic congestion, increase discipline and responsibility among drivers, and add organisation and structure in the way drives behave at junctions.
"We all travel these streets and recognise the difficulty of getting out of a junction. The lights are here to govern us," Inspector Caines added.
An analysis of the lights is expected at the end of the year to assess the first phase of the project.
The inspector said that the traffic lights will also help to reduce the unnecessary stopping of vehicles in the middle of busy traffic zones and limit the obstruction caused when drivers stop at the side of the road.

So I am in a silly kind-of-mood and decided to do an update newsletter-type thing on my life and what I am doing. Yes, I seriously doubt too many people are interested in the going ons behind-the-scenes.
First agenda - This weekend (May 22 and 23) I will be in Columbus Ohio for the two day concert, Rock on the Range 3. Four days and counting! Friday, after the boys get home from school, we will pack everything up and take them to my mom's for the weekend.
My mother only lives about say about an hour or less from Columbus (actually doing this puts us en route). Once the boys are dropped off, the hubby and I will continue on our way up to Columbus to get our hotel and rest up for Saturday.
Who am I looking forward to seeing? Three Days Grace and Apocalyptica. They were the main two reasons I text the hubby about wanting to go. Plus! Rao here got field tickets which means I do not have to remain right in the stadium seats but the field closer to the stage.
Squee! Here's the lineup: http://rockontherange.com/lineup.html . I just hope it does not storm and I can bring my Nikon camera so I can get some shots.
Second Agenda - Writing and My Current Works-in-progress
I have added yet another WIP on my "to-do-list" bringing the total up to three. This one, unlike the previous two, is much, much older. Heh, yes I have decided to bring Kheldin and Kiirri's story out, dust things off, and give it a much needed face-lift.
Changes in my life prompted this decision.
One of the massive changes in the story shall be characters. There are several characters that just did not exactly fit well. No worries, Kiirri and Kheldin remain about the same.
There are a few characters that are going 'bye-byes' and brand-new characters slid in their places. Unfortunately those who are familiar with the sad first draft of Child of Prophecy will have to wait until I manage to write it to find out which characters got cut.
The remaining characters - a few got minor changes like shortened names, tweaked looks, necessary profession.
Another massive change in the story: the plot. Ehh, the bulk of it will remain about the same. The majority of the story's content got scrapped and some chapters are salvageable on the new twist I want to take the story.
When I read over the pitiful attempt the story jumped far too much and the scenes inside, the interactions, came off too cliché for my peace of mind. Now the twist that I want to add the story will fill things out smoothly and better.
The last massive change in not only this story but Warrior of the Moon. Child of Prophecy and Warrior of the Moon takes place in the same world, one that I had help in its creation. Feiden does not solely belong to just me, but it is a collection done by myself, and my two friends RJ and Keeshe.
Last month, a good friend got me to thinking about long-term goals and possibilities. True, for now I have absolutely no desire, drive, or want to be published. I get discouraged way too easily and my skin is not as thick as I like.
But what about down the line? Once my youngest is in school? Ten years from now? Many of my works in progresses taking place in Feiden would need tweaking. Why? Well because I use DnD/Wizard of the Coast pantheon.
Instead of adding heaps of work on myself in the future, I decided to tackle that now. I even went so far as to email RJ and Keeshe about modifying and creating our own pantheon for Feiden. One jumped instantly on board, and so we are doing the slow but laborious journey of creating these Gods and Goddesses.
I still plan on writing Burning Times and I do not plan on stopping Warrior of the Moon. They, like Child of Prophecy, will come at their own pace. Possibly, I will not be writing too hardcore until my children are firmly in school, I have some "Rao time" set up.
Third agenda - I am currently reading two books: "Howl's Moving Castle" by Diana Wynne Jones and Sword-sworn by Jennifer Roberson. Both books are fantasy which I have been sorely lacking in my reading of late.
I've heard glowing reviews about Howl's Moving Castle, the book. Yes, I am aware that there is an animation. I had found the anime first, and then discovered years later, it was loosely based on a book.
Am I enjoying it? Yes, however, there was one part in the book (so far) that simply lost me. Oddly enough I am in the mood, once again, to put the movie and immerse myself in it.
Sword-sworn, the last book (currently) in Jennifer Roberson's Del and Tiger series. Now Roberson is an auto buy author for me because her novels always satisfy the beast inside me that needs its fantasy fix.
This series, along with Roberson's Cheysuli books, were highly recommended to me. I've fortunately got to finish reading the Cheysuli series a good many years ago. Not so with Del and Tiger because I was missing key books to finish the series.
However, this year I fixed that little problem by getting the one book I needed to finish the last two in the series from the library. This does not mean that I am ceasing in my search for that elusive book (may have to give up and order it from half.com).
But my intention this year, book reading wise, is to finish reading many of the series books in my collection. So far I have been doing really well. I'm currently up-to-date on Anne Bishop's Black Jewels/Blood; Sherrilyn Kenyon Dark Hunters; JR Ward's BDB; Gena Showalter's Lord and all the Eve Silver books in my collection.

As the weather warms up, you and your family will probably be spending more time enjoying the great outdoors. After all, the summer brings more opportunities for you to camp, hike, swim and bike. Before going outside, though, be sure to protect yourself from Lyme disease this summer.
In 2015, 95% of confirmed Lyme disease cases were reported from 14 states: Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia and Wisconsin.
What is Lyme disease?
Lyme disease is caused by bacteria called Borrelia burgdorferi and is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected blacklegged ticks. Typical symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue, and a characteristic skin rash called erythema migrans. If left untreated, the infection can spread to joints, the heart, and the nervous system. Lyme disease is diagnosed based on symptoms, physical findings (e.g., rash), and the possibility of exposure to infected ticks; laboratory testing is helpful if used correctly and performed with validated methods. Most cases of Lyme disease can be treated successfully with a few weeks of antibiotics.
What can you do to protect yourself?
You can decrease the chances of being bitten by a tick with a few precautions.
Source: CDC
If you think that you may be ill from a tick bite, you should see a healthcare provider to diagnose your illness. Statcare Urgent Medical Care is a great option for tick prevention advice, Lyme Disease testing and treatment. No appointment is necessary at our clinics and you'll only wait minutes to be seen. You can call ahead at (855) 9 FOR DOC and let us know you're on the way or you can check in online.
Every year, millions of US residents travel to countries where malaria is present. About 1,500 cases of malaria are diagnosed in the United States annually, mostly in returned travelers.
Malaria is a life-threatening illness and it is transmitted by mosquitoes. Symptoms include fever, sweats and chills. To prevent malaria, travelers should take a medicine called an antimalarial when going to places where malaria is present.
Some other diseases caused by insect bites are dengue fever and Zika virus. Dengue fever is becoming more common, and there is no vaccine in the United States. Symptoms include fever and joint pain.
To lower your risk of insect bites:
Use an insect repellent. It should be applied two or three times a day. Put it on skin not covered by clothes, but don't use it under your clothes.
Wear clothes treated with the insect repellent permethrin. One application of permethrin will protect you from mosquitoes for more than a month, despite washing your clothes multiple times. Use on outer clothing, but not on underwear.
Sleep under a bed net that has been treated with permethrin. This isn't as important if you are staying in a room with air-conditioning. The risk of malaria isn't as high if the temperature is kept cool.
Wear long sleeves and pants, and tuck your pants into your socks.
Wear closed-toe shoes.
Stop by any of our clinics for a travel consultation. No appointment is necessary at our clinics and you'll only wait minutes to be seen. You can call ahead at (855) 9 FOR DOC and let us know you're on the way or you can check in online.

Bits from the Branches
Los Angeles
Cyril Gordon reports, While on a sortie at Venice Beach, a young girl approached me and asked for a broadside (tract). I let her know with a smile that I could not give her one without her parents' permission. She pointed to her dad who was standing 30 feet away. He nodded with approval as I indicated with an inquisitive look that I wanted to know if it was all right to give her the tract. I asked him to come over as I handed his daughter the tract. That is how I met "Asher" (not his real name), a Jewish man who was interested in getting together to discuss Jesus' claims. We began meeting weekly at his country house to talk about the gospel and read Scripture together. Asher wanted to believe in God's salvation but was struggling with the issue of Jesus as Lord of his life. Like most people, Asher was afraid of losing control. But praise God, after several meetings, Asher gave his life to the Lord. He is eager to share his new-found faith with his daughter and excited about what lies ahead. We have been meeting regularly for discipleship and I am encouraging him to be involved in a Bible-believing congregation. Please pray for Asher as he struggles with the many challenges new Jewish believers in Jesus face."
Dina Markova reports, "Jewish evangelism is a process that involves sowing, watering, nurturing and of course, patience and time! It's always a special joy when we see the Lord work, step by step, in the lives of those to whom we bring the Good News. 'Natasha' is just such a person. She came from a neighboring city to our Shabbat Bible study in Essen. She said that she had been receiving our literature for a long time and found it very interesting. I decided to see just how deep her interest really went. 'After everything you've read, what do you think about Jesus—do you believe He's the Messiah of Israel?' She simply replied that she would like to know more. We began meeting regularly to investigate Yeshua's claims by examining the Scriptures. Weeks later, after one of our weekly Bible studies, Natasha came to me and said that she was ready to receive Yeshua into her life! And so we prayed together, and Natasha invited Jesus to be her Lord. Immediately after her prayer, she said, 'I would like to pray for my husband Sergei. He is very interested in the Bible but he does not know how to turn to God.' And so we prayed for Sergei's repentance, that God would reveal to him His truth about salvation. Please pray that Natasha will follow Yeshua with all of her heart, and that her husband will soon follow her in the faith."
Vanessa Hale, our office administrator, reports, "Witnessing encounters can happen anywhere and anytime during the course of our often ordinary days. Recently, I went to collect our newsletters from the folding company. As I reversed my car up the ramp to load the boot (trunk), a Jewish man was watching me. As I began loading the Jews for Jesus newsletters, he came over and began helping me put the bundles into my boot! I thanked him and moved my car so he could load his vehicle as well. I noticed that he was picking up brochures for his synagogue. So I in turn helped him load his bundles. As we worked, he asked me what Jews for Jesus believed and I presented the gospel message to him. He said that his children went to a Christian school and that he admired Christianity because it stresses a relationship with God. We had a great discussion in the middle of an ordinary errand. I praise God for this divine appointment; please pray with me for him and his family."
Valera Bolotov reports, "My wife and I were visiting a new Jewish believer named Rosa. At the end of the visit, her grandson, Rostislav, came into the room. He attends synagogue regularly and studies the Torah, but he's recently become very interested in the gospel. He asked me, 'Why does Matthew call Jesus by the name Emmanuel?' So we opened the Bible once again and spoke about Yeshua (Jesus). Rostislav doesn't believe in Yeshua yet, but he's looking for the truth. Please pray that his search will be successful and that he'll receive the joy of salvation."
