I've been musing with the title "Straw Into Gold" for this, part two of the Suki's Saga. I didn't mind my hair colour I was currently sporting but I knew it could be way better. There was something too ashy and khaki-toned about it and it didn't show off my blonde DNA as well as it could. So, as some of you dear readers remember from Part 1 of this Road Test feature, I had made an appointment with the technician Morgan at Suki's for the rest of my hair makeover. Needless to say, I could not wait for the blessed day to arrive.
...and arrive it did, in a spectacular downpour of biblical proportions. Really not conducive to arriving to the salon in style. In fact, once I stepped into the hallowed place, I noticed that it was like being inside the "Enchanted Cottage" of movie fame (kids you might have to Google this), where everyone who worked there looked like a million bucks; flawlessly groomed with perfect hair....as long as they didn't step outside.....
Once I had changed and was instantly handed my coffee, Morgan was waiting for me. Incidentally, her hair has been different each time I've seen her including on the Suki's website, and I really need to be on my toes to recognize her right off (#fabuloushair). Note to self: dig out my flat iron....
For this appointment we went upstairs to a naturally lit area where the colour magic takes place. This is a cool area. Although there are clients and it's busy with everyone in various stages of foils and shampooing, it still retains a calm and semi-private feel. In short, you don't mind looking homely and letting complete strangers see you with your hair like a haystack and not much makeup. No judgement here at Suki's, only infinite politeness and more coffee.
After a brief recap of my previous hair colour consult with her, Morgan got down to the business of "bringing sexy back". She and her assistant Jung ho started foiling my hair at a dizzying speed, all the while answering my questions about the procedure, chatting and laughing at my jokes. I flipped through my magazines and even managed to get a few tweets off as they toiled above. It's an amazing thing having your hair foiled. Things take on a slightly hushed quality like being in your own bubble. If I was reclining I might have fallen asleep...very Zen without the work of raking.
I kept glancing at my watch, more out of idle curiosity than angst. Things were happening very professionally and at a clipped pace, yet still the feeling that time had been suspended remained. There was an ease and relaxed atmosphere at all times. It seemed like it should have been much later in the day...
Once again, I was treated to a wonderful shampoo and this time, a toner/gloss treatment to help seal in the colour, complete with scalp and neck massage. It really is the best part of the appointment!
Again, fascinating as this procedure is to me, I could have drifted off. Jung ho kept reminding me gently to lift my chin up so she could shampoo me properly. Gone are the days of harsh chemical smells and hours of dryer time. I couldn't wait to see the results of the L'Oreal Professional Colour which Suki's uses! Even better when Morgan would pop by now and then to check it's progress with a "looking beautiful!".
Once my hair was dried off, it was back to the chair for a comb out and a blow dry. I could see the difference already and the effect was shine, shimmer and best of all, the blonde of my DNA as nature intended. The glorious Hollywood version of me which is in my head.
My new and enhanced colour was a complete complement to and optimized by the excellent hair cut Candice had given me the week prior. Just as the ladies of Suki's had assured me, they are an excellent match for services and rest assured, they are both on my speed dial. Thank you ladies!!
Oh, and remember that fabulous Shu Uemura golden blonde conditioner I purchased the week before? It's a great product to help intensify your blonde. If you want to ease back on the gold after a while, simply stop using it for a bit and substitute an everyday conditioner.
The final endorsement? The next day I was shopping with my husband. As we waited by the counter to pay, the male clerk leaned toward me and said earnestly "You...have VERY nice hair...".
Well played Candice, Morgan and Suki's, well played.
Suki's is located at 3157 Granville Street, Vancouver. To book an appointment call 604-738-7713.

CORAL SPRINGS, Fla., Nov. 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The Coral Springs Museum of Art will unveil three new exhibits at an opening reception on Wednesday, December 6, 2017 from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. The main gallery will feature Palm Beach-based artist Judi Regal, the East Gallery will feature Cuban photographer Luis Castañeda, and the Kuhn Gallery will feature Miami artist Daniel Garcia. Guests will enjoy a complimentary sponsored drink by Bacardi as well as a cash wine and beer bar.
"This reception is a wonderful opportunity for the public and our members to interact with the artists and discuss their work with them," said Julia Andrews, Executive Director of the Coral Springs Museum of Art. "They have expressed themselves in distinct and interesting ways through different mediums, and this makes their collections most becoming."
All three exhibits will be on display beginning December 2, 2017.
Judi RegalReflections: Past & Present (through March 3, 2018)
Abstract artist Judi Regal works primarily in oils and watercolors. Regal's contemporary work focuses on light, texture and the interplay of color and form. They explore the nexus of representation and abstraction. The "Reflections" series came from looking through her window at a cityscape; she saw reflections of lights bouncing off the panes of glass, depicting the landscape within the sky. Emotions are captured in the emerging squares as they try to hold the memories we reflect upon.
Luis CastañedaDanzzaria (through March 3, 2018)
Cuban photographer Luis Castañeda has worked in close relationship with the Cuban Ministry of Culture and the Ballet Nacional de Cuba (Cuban National Ballet), for nearly two decades. "Danzzaria" will feature black-and-white photos from the Ballet Nacional de Cuba.
Daniel GarciaPa'riba, Pa'bajo, Pal'centro Y Pa'dentro (through December 23, 2017)
Raised in the Wynwood neighborhood of Miami, Garcia can't recall a moment when he has not been creating. His art has been featured in many shows in South Florida and throughout the United States. In Garcia's work, he blurs all the lines created by society and invites you to explore this different, perfectly imperfect world.
For more information on the reception and exhibits, contact the Coral Springs Museum of Art at (954) 340-5000 or firstname.lastname@example.com, or visit http://bit.ly/CSMOADec2017.
The Coral Springs Museum of Art is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Since the Museum is a proud member of North American Reciprocal Museums (NARM) and Reciprocal Organization of Associated Museums (ROAM), members who join at the family membership level ($125 annually) gain access to more than 800 museums across the U.S.

Flagship brands such as Norlevo®, STÉRIMAR™ and Hedelix™
Sea Water Nasal Spray Range
Trust STÉRIMAR™ for your family's nasal hygiene needs
South Africa's number one selling sea water nasal spray 1
The health benefits of sea water have been recognised for thousands of years. Pure sea water is rich in different salts, minerals and trace elements which are important for overall health and wellbeing. Our body cells are physiologically close to sea water.
The sea water used in STÉRIMAR™ is collected in deep waters off the coast of Northern France. After collection it is filtered, diluted and microbiologically controlled to produce an aseptic (sterile) sea water solution, without preservatives.
The nose and the importance of nasal hygiene
The nose and the nasal mucosa have an important role to play in breathing. They moisten and warm inhaled air, preparing it for the body before it enters the lungs.
Cilia (tiny hairs) lining the mucosa filter inhaled air, preventing airborne particles such as dust, microbes, pollution and smoke from entering into the lungs. When the filtering action of the cilia is insufficient, the cells of the nasal mucosa produce mucus, a sticky liquid that traps impurities.
By conditioning and filtering the air, the nose acts as the body's first line of defence against external particles that are potentially dangerous to our body. If the nose is too dry and congested, it cannot function properly, increasing our vulnerability to colds, allergic rhinitis and sinusitis.
Nasal Hygiene for daily care
*Isotonic solution: a solution that contains the same concentration of salt as that of the body's cells.
Relief from a blocked nose
* Hypertonic solution: a solution that contains a higher concentration of salt than that of the body's cells, which allows for decongestion of blocked noses.

Birds of a feather, flock together?
What came first the weight or the heavyweight waiter? A fascinating study was released by The Food & Brand Lab at Cornell University reporting that "497 diners in 60 restaurants shows that diners who ordered their dinner from heavier wait staff were four times more likely to order dessert, and ordered 17% more alcohol."
This study dauntingly shows a profound new knowledge – that your environment does indeed have an effect on not only your mental but also your physical health. Therefore, it is incredibly important to always have a plan locked in place when it comes to eating and exercising so you can reach your goals. Here are 3 surefire ways to bulletproof your diet success.
[Related Articles:Why I Started Ordering Meal Prep Delivery]
1. Plan Ahead
Why do people look at chiseled bodies with such respect? Maybe because we all know first hand how difficult it is to keep a fit figure in this society of convenience and indulgence. It's incredibly difficult to not overeat when you are presented with menus full of delicious, high-calorie food. So you are going to have to implement some serious discipline friends. Plan ahead. Decide how many calories you are going to take in. Go online before going out with friends and find out what your menu options are and decide what you will order before you get into the restaurant. That way your friends (or waiter for that matter) don't ruin your commitment to stay healthy and fit.
2. Integrity
Integrity means to say what you mean and mean what you say! In this case, it means if you say you are going to work out today, then you do it; Even if it means you have to wake up at 5am to run because you have to be at the office by 8am. Integrity means ordering a salad that contains loads of nutrients and lean proteins instead of choosing the waiter's suggestion with many more calories than your day's allotment. If you can't follow through with your commitment with unbending integrity, then you won't get the body you are working toward…period!
3. Accountability and Support
Encourage friends and family to get on board with your exercise and diet success. When you have an entire group of people that want to see you succeed and know that you are dieting and exercising, then you are more likely to stick to your plan. So be your own cheerleader and rally up your support system to help you accomplish your goal! You will also be helping them get fit and healthy.

Hunger for organic continues to grow
WASHINGTON — A new survey from the Organic Trade Association reveals that Americans are hungry for more organic products, with sales in the United States leaping to $35.1 billion in 2013, which represents a 11.5% increase from the previous year. And the desire for organic products is not expected to let up any time soon, the association said.
"The U.S. organic market is experiencing strong expansion, with organic food and farming continuing to gain in popularity. Consumers are making the correlation between what we eat and our health, and that knowledge is spurring heightened consumer interest in organic products," said Laura Batcha, executive director and CEO of OTA.
Organic food was once a niche industry in the vast food sector, but purchases broke through the $30 million mark in 2012 and now make up more than 4% of the $760 billion annual food sales in the United States. Organic fruits and vegetables lead the category with $11.6 billion in sales. The organic condiments category showed the strongest growth at 17% with sales of $830 million.
Other growth areas included:
- Organic bread and grain sales, up 12% to $3.8 billion;
- Organic meat, poultry and fish sales, up 11% to $675 million; and
- Organic packaged and prepared food sector, up 10% to $4.8 billion.
The industry does face some roadblocks, though. Farmland across the country isn't being converted quickly enough to meet growing demand for organic products. Supplies of organic feed and grain also have been costly, which could restrict growth in the organic dairy and meat sectors. There's also a bit of confusion on the consumer side as to what the term "organic" actually means.
"The entire organic industry needs to rally around helping consumers better understand and appreciate all the values that certified organic brings to the table," Batcha said. "Consumer education is critical to grow the organic industry."
All adds new OXI single-dose form
WILTON, Conn. — All laundry detergent has extended its All Mighty Pacs and All OXI families with new All Mighty Pacs OXI, pacs formulated with OXI-power stain fighters with triple-play action to fight tough stains, whiten and brighten, according to the company. The premeasured doses of concentrated detergent treat tough dirt and stains in a convenient, single-dose pac.
Marissa Mignone, associate brand manager for All, said that OXI was the fastest-growing variant and single-dose the fastest-growing form, and called the new product a "must-have introduction to the market."
Febreze launches Allergen Reducer
CINCINNATI — In time for spring allergy season, Procter & Gamble has introduced Febreze Fabric Refresher Allergen Reducer, a product that eliminates odors and reduces up to 95% of inanimate allergens from pollen, pet dander and dust mite matter that can become airborne from fabrics after making their way into the home.
For the launch, P&G has partnered with The Weather Channel's newest anchor, Sam Champion, to educate consumers on the connection between the outdoor pollen count and allergens in the home.
Febreze Fabric Refresher Allergen Reducer comes in Unscented and Clean Splash. Febreze Air Effects Allergen Reducer is available in three light scents: Clean Splash, Freshly Clean and Soft & Light. Suggested retail price on the 9.7-oz. Febreze Air Effects Allergen Reducer and 500-mL Febreze Fabric Refresher Allergen Reducer is $4.29. The 800-mL Fabric Refresher suggested retail price is $6.29.

August 2006 Folk EnewsJuly 31, 2006 on 8:23 pm | In Monthly Folk eNews
Howdy, Folkies,
Biggest August news is…..finally, after several years of waiting, we get to dance at the Heights Community Center in Albuquerque once again. For those who don't know, the Heights has been our dance home for thirty years, featuring a beautiful wood floor, great stage area for the band and caller, plus a 'visiting room' just off the main dance hall. Make note of the new times–Heights dances will start at 7:30 p.m. and end promptly at 10:30 p.m. The FOLKMADS calendar has incorrect times for the Albuquerque August dances.
John Brinduse says it best, "WE'RE GOING HOME!!!! And we owe a HUGE debt of thanks to Scott Mathis and Joli Sharp! When Heights was still under construction and the City was giving us little progress information, Scott went down several times to the site and spoke with supervisors and sub-contractors. He kept on it and kept contacting the City. Then at the last Board meeting, 7/10, just one day before he and Linda were driving to California for a Festival and a gig, he brought the contract that the City had just given him that day… We went over it at the meeting, and decided, once there were a few clarifications, to proceed with it. With Scott out of state, Joli (who was tying up loose ends in preparation for a long stretch out-of-state herself), stepped up and took over. She contacted the City, clarified the questions we had about event times and security, investigated the insurance situation, took steps to get the policy renewed and had a back up agent in case that fell through, went down to the City, paid them and signed the contract, and then got the insurance documents to them. All this with a full-time job and a Grand Canyon trip to pack for! What a Treasurer! Above and beyond! So, now that we have our Home Base back, I hope to see all of you at the August 5th Dance, except for Joli, whom I wish Bon Voyage and a safe journey down the Colorado. Bravo Scott! Bravo Joli! What a team! –John Brinduse, Board Member, FolkMADS"

Albuquerque Concert, Thursday, August 3
The Greencards, N4th Theater, 4904 4th St NW (at Griegos)
7:30 PM, $15 advance, $20 at the door.
Tickets at abqmusic.com, Bookworks and Natural Sound
Bosque Concerts is thrilled to bring The Greencards back to Albuquerque. Last time they were here they packed the Windchime Gallery for a night of high energy folk-influenced bluegrass. Since then, they've been touring steadily and winning fans all over the country and the world, including a recent appearance at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. Members of the band hail from Australia and the UK, which gives them a somewhat different take on bluegrass. This is how the Rocky Mountain News described their Telluride set: "The Austin, Texas-based ensemble of two Australians and a Brit plays Celtic-influenced, bluegrass-flavored originals. That they sound so quintessentially American speaks to the universality of acoustic music and the band's instrumental prowess. It's a band to reckon with in acoustic circles."

Radio Free Bassanda!
Music from the Mediterranean, Near East and Balkans at the Adobe Bar in the Taos Inn
Sunday, August 6th, 2006, 7:00-10:00pm
Radio Free Bassanda! was founded out of a shared interest in the various modal musics from around the Mediterranean, the Middle & Near East, and the Balkans. Modal music is one of the oldest types of music, while remaining the dominant musical language in many parts of the world. Modal musics emphasize melody and rhythm rather than harmony and they invariably contain a great deal of improvisation and spontaneous invention. Radio Free Bassanda! brings a wide range of repertoire and instrumentation to their performances. Their use of both eastern and western instruments affords them a broad timbral palette with which to weave their sound pictures. Energetic and complex rhythms challenge the ear and the feet! Roger Landes – plucked strings, Arabic Oud (lute), Turkish Lavta, Irish bouzouki, Greek Laouto; Chipper Thompson – percussion: Arabic Dumbeq and Riqq Turkish Darabukka, Persian Zarb; Ben Wright – Double Bass.

Santa Fe Contra Dance, Saturday, August 12
Donna Howell teaching workshops and then calling the evening dance with One Good Turn. 8 p.m. -11 p.m., IOOF Hall, 1125 Cerrillos Rd. Instruction at 7:30 p.m. $6 members, $7 others for evening dance, not sure how much workshops cost. There will be two couples dance workshops (waltz at 3, and zweifache at 4:30), followed by a community potluck at 6 and the regular contradance at 8! WALTZ workshop (at precisely 3 p.m.) No partners necessary, and men are encouraged to attend since the emphasis will be on leading. All experience levels welcome (and encouraged!) The workshop will cover these important points:
FRAME: "You stay in your space, I'll stay in mine" or why its easier to move the box spring than the mattress;
LEADING: The gentle art of moving a 120 pound barrel with a triple jointed swivel handle;
FOLLOWING: Why a woman should never be light as a feather in a man's arms; and
WHY A WALTZ IS NEVER COUNTED 1,2,3-1,2,3. If you don't know where the 4 is, you'll never be able to lead.
Then, the rhythmic delights of ZWIEFACHE (at precisely 4:30 p.m.): Zwiefache are tunes and dances that change time signatures between 2/4 and 3/4. Dancers alternate between waltz steps and quick spinning pivots. They are the easiest and most fun turning couple dances and are done as "break" or final pieces at contra dances across the country. Zwiefache are a very old form of music, documented back to the middle of the 16th century. In parts of Europe in earlier centuries they were banned because they "excited peasants to rebellious emotions" and featured the "shameless turning" of women by men (of course, waltzes ran into the same problems). Each highly melodic zwiefacher has its own formula, learned by listening to the music to hear the changing meter. A zwiefacher will put you in touch with the music like no other dance and will vastly improve your frame for waltzing.

Albuquerque House Concert, Monday, August 14
Bosque House Concert #89, The Texas Sapphires, 7:30 pm, $12 minimum suggested donation
Contact Jeff at firstname.lastname@example.com for reservations, or use our on-line registration at www.abqmusic.com/houseconcerts.html
It's always fun to have a large, unamplified band drop by the house concerts. The Texas Sapphires are a quintet who play hard-driving traditional country. You've got dueling male/female lead vocals drenched with weeping dobro and a solid back beat. Their debut album "Valley So Steep" was produced by the talented Texas musician Lloyd Maines, who has done fine work on CD's by Ruthie Foster, Susan Gibson, The Waybacks and The Dixie Chicks. They seem to be taking Austin by storm, winning the Austin Chronicle's Critics' Poll for best new band in 2005, and were named the best new band in 2006 in the Readers' Poll and at the Austin Music Awards. The Austin Chronicle says ""This is what country music is supposed to sound like: Banjo, guitar, bass, and drums, with a Tammy Wynette voice courtesy of Rebecca Cannon. The Sapphires plunder the classic country catalog with organic, homespun panache … you could close your eyes and imagine them doing their sprawling happy hour sets on a front porch in some lost Tennessee holler."

Outpost Performance Space, 210 Yale SE
8 PM, $15 in advance, $20 at the door
Tickets at abqmusic.com, Bookworks and Natural Sound
The Asylum Street Spankers are a band that defies categorization. They really have to be experienced live. Known for incorporating everything from hip hop to bluegrass into their set, a typical Asylum Street Spankers set includes:
– Late 20's jazz a la the Squirrel Nut Zippers
– a bluegrass version of a Beastie Boys song
– early jazz and blues standards
– Acoustic covers of Black Flag (as a hoedown), the B-52's and The Jazz Butcher
– A beautiful instrumental waltz on clarinet, banjo, fiddle and stand-up bass, with the lead taken on saw.
– Country & Western gangster ballads melded with gangster rap
with live sampling of classic southern rock and scratching – on a dobro.
Warning: The Spankers are known for their irreverence and love to push boundaries. Bawdy lyrics and profanity are pretty much guaranteed!
Make a mental note re: ABQ Sept. 2 Dance

Wasatch Wiggle Utah Dance Camp Report: Albuquerque dancer Richard Riger posted a blog entry about his first out-of-state dance camp at http://folkmadsroadtrips.blogspot.com/ My own Wiggle report is the next entry on my full blog (www.merridancing/com/wp) below this enews.

And finally, the "Geezerization" of our music and dance community: I think fiddler Bruce Thomson coined the term "geezerization," a humorous way to note that most of us are over 50, and many are close to or over 60 now. We want to see traditional folk music and dance continue beyond us. So we're starting the discussion. I chimed in with, "Most of us are in our 50's and 60's. Between the Mullany children, ages 10 and 12, and the rest of us, ages 50-65, there is a HUGE 40 to 50 year gap in age [Joli and Wendy Graham being exceptions]. We desperately need to recruit several 100 young (ages 20-30) dancers, musicians and callers to secure the future of folk music and dance in general and FOLKMADS specifically. Ten or 15 years down the line, without new blood, here in NM the music/dance train will become extinct. It's a sobering prospect." In response, Joli Sharp (one of our vibrant 30-something-year-olds, wrote, "Yes….and there will come a sad time in my life when all my (geezerized) friends are gone and I will be dancing alone to recordings of them. But how does one make other people like oldtime music???? You like it or you don't. And a warning: we shall not schmooze too heavily and drool upon any twenty-something that happens to come among us. The women will think us lecherous, and run screaming out the door (really. I have seen it happen). And the men will just think us…..creepy. I think we need an outdoor festival, rustic, with great food and beer-powered latenight jamming, and vendors selling very artful hippie stuff. We need to invite the Foghorn String Band, and Rayna Gellert, and get into some of the great high-energy younger oldtime bands that are out there. We need a hip logo and great art, and we need to allow our dances to be vigorous and rowdy, even if it's not what we are used to and it Scares us. We have a lot to overcome before this can happen, not the least of which is being willing to let things change. I think they will change, even if it's eventually and over our dead bodies. But I don't think we are ready, and that is ok. I like geezers just fine. Joli"
Send me your own thoughts about geezerization and anything else, and I'll post them on next month's blog. That's all for now. Enjoy the monsoons!

Wasatch Wiggle ReportJuly 30, 2006 on 6:30 pm | In Road Trips
Imagine travelling 600 miles to a remote mountain resort outside Salt Lake City, Utah to be the guest caller at a dance weekend you've never attended. You'll be working with a band you've never heard play and calling for dancers you've never seen dance. Will they know how to dance? Does the band know the kinds of tunes you need? How will you be received? Luckily, I didn't spend much time worrying about any of these things. If I had, it would have been a waste of time. The weekend worked out just fine.
I just wrote this blurb for the Bag o' Tricks', my band for the weekend, web page.
"I was hired to call a dance weekend in Utah with Bag o' Tricks. Neither the band nor I had ever encountered one another. I was in for a mighty pleasant surprise–I absolutely adored working with Bag o' Tricks! Anita Anderson, Dave Bartley, and Sande Gillette are hugely talented, supremely cooperative, eager to please, hilarious, upbeat and amazingly versatile. Need a rowdy, southern, tune? Done. Slinky, sexy, jazzy? Done, done, done. Flowing, mixed, African/Egyptian? No problem. English country? Anita will help you teach by lightly playing piano during the walk-throughs. And they authored half the tunes they play. An added bonus: all band members are delightful, good-hearted human beings and lots of fun to hang out with. I'd work with them again in a heartbeat!"
Bag o' Tricks' fiddler Sande Gillette replied,
"Thank you so much for all your kind words. The feeling is definitely mutual — we had so much fun working with you and experiencing your wide range of styles, your amazing ability to make people not only comfortable but ready to also try something new, and your fun sense of humor. We saw behind the scenes how much preparation and thought you had given to the weekend, but you have the great ability to make it all seem spontaneous — a recipe for success for dancers, musicians, caller, and camp. I hope we have the opportunity to work with you somewhere again soon!!!!"
Those two quotes summarize the success of the weekend. But I'll share a few more details.
I was walking out of my room at the quaint Brighton Lodge, when I rounded a corner and saw two people, one of whom (Dave Bartley) I recognized from the Wiggle web page. "Are you Mary?" I asked the other person. "Are you Merri?" she replied. It was Dave and his wife Mary, returning from a hike. We hugged and immediately took to each other. These two have been married for 17 years, and both radiate exceptionally good kharma:

The Wasatch Wiggle camp is set at 9,000′ elevation and the dance hall is up a steep hill from the Brighton Lodge. The Wasatch Mountain Club built the dark wood facility in 1921, I think, with various add-ons since then. It has low ceilings, good acoustics, a great wood floor, and two large posts down the middle of the room that scared me as I watched the dancers. No one knocked themselves unconscious dancing into the posts, I'm happy to report.
My Albuquerque friends and long-time travelling companions Melissa and Lew joined me at the Wiggle. An extra surprise: Richard Riger from Albuquerque signed up at the last minute to help Nancy from Texas gain admittance to the weekend. It was his first out-of-state camp, and he blogged about it at http://folkmadsroadtrips.blogspot.com/. Most of the other dancers hailed from Utah, with a smattering from Idaho, Oregon, Washington, California, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, Florida and Georgia.
The organizers, Brenda, Tom, Melanie, Lori, and Debbie, have created a very welcoming weekend. It's a small camp (65 dancers) in a woodsy setting. Communal eating at long tables fosters more camaraderie than urban camps, where everyone stays at different places. Head Honcho and Chief Chef Brenda provided a variety of tasty and nutritious food–from homemade granola to burgers (and veggie burgers) cooked over open grills on the back patio–yum! Salads, homemade peach cobbler, served warm with ice cream, brownies, sweet handmade breakfast tamales, and healthy main dishes rounded out the menu.
At least 6 and maybe 10 folks were there who were also at the Maymadness weekend I co-called in Prescott, Arizona a few months earlier. This time, however, there was not a second caller with whom to share the weekend. I was the guest caller for the weekend. I called three hours Friday night, taught three workshops Saturday, including English country, then called all but one hour of the Saturday evening dance. Called the Sunday farewell dance and then taught a two-hour caller's workshop after camp officially ended. I called lots of interesting and some complex dances, many different than my Arizona program. I couldn't stump the dancers; they looked great! Although I did go onto the dance floor a few times to avert some confusion…
On Saturday I'm heading down the path through the woods back to my room, when a lady approaches me. "I love English!," she beamed. "Oh? Cool. How long have you been dancing it?" I asked. "First time was your workshop just now." Ha!!! Another one hooked. For someone who hated English dance for 20 years (me), it shocks me that I love English enough to teach it now. Joseph Pimentel, one of my English dance coaches, is "thrilled" I'm leading English dance. He loves English country dance too and has taught it much longer than I have. What was great about the Wiggle weekend is that the band really liked playing English music, some of which was 400 years old. And the dancers were enthusiastic about dancing English too, which is not always the case with contra dancers. These dancers looked elegantly English and seemed to enjoy the nuance and saucy "moments" that English country dance provides. Whoever has been leading them locally has done a great job encouraging them to embrace multiple dance forms. Huzzah to the local dance leaders!

The Bellows Fellows (2 accordians and a guitar) played for a few workshops and one hour of the Saturday evening dance.

I made a little movie of them playing MUSIC FOR A FOUND HARMONIUM, quite amazing. John and Dori from California taught a Scandinavian workshop. They are excellent and graceful teachers.
Eight students attended my calling workshop after the camp, a few calling for the first time ever. It was really fun! Callers don't come to the stage to copy dance cards anymore. Instead they take a digital photo of the sheet or card for later use. I wonder if other callers have noticed this?
My favorite feedback from the camp e-evaluations was, "Merri was quite good, better than I expected. Excellent decision, hiring her! Bands were good too. And I even enjoyed the Scandinavian workshop, something I don't usually like." I'm happy that I can pleasantly surprise folks on occasion!
Although my throat muscles were sore for several days after, I didn't get hoarse or have laryngitis. Sound guys were great! I will spare readers stories about music in the key of P, the hungry, hungry flies, and stumbling about in the dark looking for the trail to the lodge, while avoiding holes in the road where water flowed UNDER the road surface.
Melissa, Lew, Mark and I camped together for 3 nights afterwards in Utah. Then Melissa and Lew headed back to Albuquerque. Mark and I stayed out another week or so, camping in WY and CO. One evening we spent two hours watching a great horned owl catch, kill, eat, rest, regurgitate, drink from the river, and finally roost on a fence post, silouhetted by the setting sun. Our last morning, we encountered a mama deer and 2 spotted fawns nursing in the middle of the forest road.

Whether she had twins or had taken in an orphaned fawn, either way, it was breath-taking. A few hours later we arrived back to the noisy, crowded urban world.
That's my report for now. Unfortunately, I had to turn off the "comment" function on my blog due to spammers taking advantage. But email me anytime with comments, and I'll be happy to post them.

As I wrote the first draft of this post, I quickly realized that this post is actually about far more than just iOS apps. It's about taking advantage of computers to their fullest extent, particularly around automating one's life on the go. Enjoy.
Chrome - Chrome works beautifully across all major computing platforms. Everything that can sync, does sync, seamlessly.
Clear - The simplest, best to-do list app on the market. And it syncs with the Mac desktop client via iCloud, making it even better. Clear literally drives my day. Using Clear, I manage my personal and work to do lists, books to read, songs to download, and even to help grow my vocabulary.
DI Radio - The ultimate electronic music app. It has an amazing selection of electronic music, and live streams from some of the biggest electronic music festivals in the country.
Evernote - There's good reasons why this is one of the most popular apps on the entire App Store. It's note taking done right across all major computing platforms. I also use Evernote Hello and Evernote Food; they're pretty good too.
FitBit - I have the FitBit Aria wireless scale. It's awesome. It syncs to my phone and graphs key metrics in seconds. And soon, it will also sync from the upcoming FitBit Flex. I'm excited to be part of the burgeoning quantified self movement.
Google - Google's general app is actually more useful than Chrome because it loads faster, and offers Google Now.
Gym Buddy - sadly, the developer no longer updates the app (though there are rumors that he's started working on it again). Gym Buddy is the best workout tracker and manager on the market. I've tried over a dozen of them, and this one is hands down the easiest and fastest to use. Speed is paramount because I only have 60 seconds between sets, and Gym Buddy understands that. I don't want to spend 60 seconds playing with my phone between sets. I want to spend no more than 5, and Gym Buddy empowers me to do just that.
Kayak Pro - I travel a lot for work. Kayak automates every step. They offer a great search tool (though Hipmunk's search interface is better). But even if I don't buy from Kayak, I forward every itinerary to Kayak anyways. 24 hours before my flight, Kayak reminds me to check in to get a good seat. When I get to the airport, Kayak presents all of the key information I need to navigate the airport, integrates with Passbook, and of course even stores an electronic version of my boarding pass. Awesome.
Kindle - I read a lot. Especially when traveling. The Kindle platform is the best ebook platform that spans all major computing platforms, period.
Mailbox - Mailbox deserves all of its hype and praise (though not a $100M valuation; that's just absurd). Mailbox is the best email client on the market. Mailbox powers my Gmail to stay at inbox zero all day everyday. My Exchange account at work is a totally different story.
Mint.com - I can track all of my personal financial information across all financial institutions, and measure spending against predefined budgets and goals in one tap from the home screen. I love it.
Podcasts (by Apple) - Although the first few iterations of this app were pretty bad, Podcasts is now a very functional app that allows me to take the always incredible Critical Path with me everywhere I go.
Reeder - An amazing Google Reader client with a beautiful and speed focused design. Reeder powers me to read through 350 headlines during most weekdays, and 150 daily during the weekends. Of those, I actually read between 5-10% of the total volume most days. Reeder has nailed the high-volume reading process to a tee.
Siri - Although it's not a 3rd party app, Siri is pretty amazing. 90% of my Siri use occurs while driving. The last 10% while I'm in bed and too tired to actually use my phone. While practically dead in my bed, I can, without any dexterity or eloquence, moan "Set an alarm for 7AM" and Siri will take care of the rest. Thanks, Siri. Plus, I trained Siri to call me "Big Daddy". There's no way that an app that calls me Big Daddy can't make it into my favorites list.
Sleep Cycle - It figures out the best time to wake me up within a given 30 minute window based on where I am in my sleep cycle. It calculates sleep cycles based on body movements (the phone needs to rest on the bed while you're sleeping). During the heaviest phases of sleep, I move very little, and in the lighter phases, I move more. It detects that based on the iPhone's accelerometer, and wakes me up accordingly. Genius.
Songza - This is what Pandora wishes it was. It offers better, contextual categories than Pandora, and ad-free listening.
Spotify - This is what iTunes wishes it was. For the first time ever, I'm paying for music. That tells you something.
Sunrise - Sunrise is without a doubt the best calendar if you live in Gmail / Google Apps. The interface is clean and the scrolling list is awesome. It automatically links to phone numbers and addresses, pulls in contact details from LinkedIn and associated emails and documents too. The developers realized that a digital calendar shouldn't just be a calendar, but should intelligently present the information you need to know when you need to know it. Genius.
Today Weather - The best weather app on iOS. See the picture below. Each square represents a full screen view. Just swipe between screens. The left-most column offers a gorgeous graphical 7 day forecast, and the right-most column offers an hour-by-hour guide. The middle column provides 1 click access to a radar map. It provides everything I need to know in a highly intuitive and polished packaged.
Way of Life - I use this to stay healthy and build positive new habbits. I've tried at least a half-a-dozen competitive apps. Way of Life provides the best overall flexibility and usability. It's easily worth the $5 that the developer asks for.


text: From his headquarters at the Oxo Tower on the South Bank, London, Sperlein has also been branching out into other areas of design. He has created a range of furniture called Contour, which uses similar flowing shapes and themes as in his ceramics, and has even moved into interior design and architecture. In the 20-odd years since he left Germany, things have changed there, too, and recently he decided it would be nice to have a bolt hole in Munich. I looked around for a while, but prices were high and it was difficult to find anything suitable in the right location. But one night I was idly browsing the net and saw a shop for sale in the old French Quarter. I called a friend in the city and asked her to look at it for me. The next day, she rang back and said I had to buy it, so I did. The shop was built in the 1890s, but had been used as offices, so it had lowered ceilings and little natural light only from the arched shop window at the front and another smaller one at the back. I drew up plans to create a bathroom and kitchen, neither of which existed before, appointed a builder and site manager and spent the next year travelling there every few weeks to oversee the work. To give some privacy to what has become the living room, Sperlein put opaque glass in the lower section of the shop window and door, returned the ceilings to their lofty 12ft height and installed wide oak floorboards sourced from the Netherlands. I imported the deep skirting boards from London, because I like that feature in British houses and it isnt something thats popular in Germany, he says...

Lucas Foglia's "Human Nature" Finds New Ways to Understand Our Impact on the Environment
October 12, 2017
"Esme Swimming, Parkroyal on Pickering, Singapore." In his new project, Lucas Foglia explores the ways that people understand and reconstruct the natural world. The book opens and closes with what Foglia calls "interpretations of paradise."
"Kate in an EEG Study of Cognition in the Wild, Strayer Lab, University of Utah, Utah." Foglia's series focuses on the work of scientists, from climatologists to neurologists. The study pictured here aims to measure the brain's response to being in nature.
"Air Sampling, Mauna Loa Observatory, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Hawai'i."
In his new series, "Human Nature," Lucas Foglia finds new ways to grapple with a well-worn subject: humanity's effect on the natural world. The California-based photographer isn't a frontline environmentalist, but over the course of his project, which draws on photographs he has made over 12 years, he has come to see that all things are connected. We only thrive if the planet thrives.
"A healthy environment should be considered a human right, and our responsibility," says Foglia. "As such we should choose our lifestyles to minimize our impact on the world we are a part of."
Underpinning "Human Nature" is the disturbing notion that perhaps only a few places in this world remain unaltered. Hawaii's molten lava fields, by virtue of their constant reformation and extreme heat, are the only pristine lands Foglia says he encountered during his extensive survey. Culled from more that 80,000 images and debuting this fall as a 96-page book (Nazraeli) and traveling exhibition, "Human Nature" journeys from Nevada ranchlands to constructed paradises in Singapore, from a farm in a New York City jail to a research station on an Alaska glacier.
Foglia not only documents ice floes, clear-cut forests, green urbanism and other common climate change subjects, he meditates on what nature has become and how we interact emotionally, or not, with our planet.
He also pulls back the veil on the work of earth scientists. Having resolved that most places on earth had been visited, documented and altered, Foglia decided to demystify the labor behind our understanding of the planet. "I started photographing scientists who measured the air. Amidst all of the news stories and political arguments about climate change, most people don't know what the process of the science looks like," he says.
Following the science became a useful way to focus the project. Foglia photographed field researchers at the Guyana Forestry Commission, the Juneau Icefield Research Program, the NOAA Observatories and USDA Agricultural Research Stations. The scientists granted Foglia free access because, he says, they recognized that he was intent, like they are, on describing the world fairly. "We shared a common cause," he says.
While it includes photos made over the course of more than a decade, Foglia's project started to come together after Hurricane Sandy inundated the farm he grew up on 30 miles east of New York City. He knew climate change was a crucial topic but he could not have predicted how politically abused it would become. The Trump administration has proposed cutting NOAA's budget by 17 percent, including a 26 percent cut to research. "Most of the scientists I photographed are at risk of losing funding," Foglia notes.
Foglia also observed neurologists' experiments that measure how the environment influences human behavior and cognition. "The average American, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, currently spends 93 percent of their life indoors," explains Foglia. "I photographed neuroscientists measuring how spending time in nature benefits us, using science to encourage people to go outside."
In one image of the University of Utah's "Cognition in the Wild Study," which uses EEGs (electroencephalogram) to measure brain response to natural surroundings, a young woman perches at the edge of a desert canyon with her head wired to a laptop. In the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences' Bosch Lab, a subject sits with head tilted back in a VR-headset. She bathes in the glow of a screen-projected forest. Scientists are measuring the degree to which virtual reality versions of nature reduce stress. The image sparks a number of disconcerting questions. Might our dislocation from nature be assuaged only by more analytics and technological experiment? If we cannot reverse losses in the physical world, how might we recreate or restore our connections to it?
"Human Nature" avoids polemic. It doesn't shout; it whispers uncomfortable truths. The book moves through topographic themes: first, in cities and woodlands and laboratories, and later, across farms, deserts, ice fields and oceans. It opens and closes with what Foglia calls "interpretations of paradise." For corporations, paradise is an elaborate terrace of urban forest, or a McDonald's with a lawn for a roof. Individuals, by comparison, find paradise by stripping down, climbing trees, sinking into pools and having sex in tropical bushes. In all cases, Foglia reveals to us our world anew.
Often, photographs intended to raise public awareness succeed when they are good-looking. Of course, there's a tension in this icky visual seduction. The photo of an animal in peril is another trope. Both types of images manipulate viewers (mostly harmlessly) and reinforce what we expect environmental photography to be. "Human Nature" does something entirely different. It delivers a vision of a world with which we are in communication, not in ever-increasing detachment. Foglia points to, and believes in, our agency.
"We need to change our lifestyles," says Foglia. "Spending more time outside, eating less meat, traveling by bicycle or public transportation, and preserving forests would be good first steps."
In Foglia's world, small-hold biodynamic orchards are just as important as state regulations on the lumber industry. Harvesting spinach at daybreak will tell us as much about nature as the scientist who monitors brain activity. If we are for the world, it will be for us. Foglia's sometimes deadpan and always beautiful images in "Human Nature" are, arguably, source for optimism. We're building responses and raising consciousness. We remain curious. The answers are within us.
Nazraeli Press will publish the book Human Nature in September 2017, in conjunction with exhibitions at Michael Hoppen Gallery in London, Fredericks & Freiser Gallery in New York, Foam in Amsterdam, and Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago.

WASHINGTON — Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele fought for his job Monday in a debate with four rivals, defending his troubled tenure with a simple refrain: The party won elections since he took over two years ago.
"My record stands for itself," he said in a debate at the National Press Club. "We won."
Yet while none of his rivals criticized Steele to his face, each called the national party a debt-ridden, broken machine. Each also vowed to restore the discipline and fundraising that will be crucial to helping the party's eventual presidential nominee take on a campaign by Democratic President Barack Obama that could raise and spend $1 billion.
"How can an organization that has lost its credibility, is $20 million in debt ... lead us into 2012? ... It's time for change," said Ann Wagner, a former national party co-chairwoman from Missouri.
"The Republican National Committee is at a moment of crisis," said Saul Anuzis, a former state party chairman from Michigan.
Two others at the debate who were seeking Steele's job were Wisconsin state party Chairman Reince Priebus and Maria Cino, a former deputy chairwoman of the Republican National Committee.
Steele, a former lieutenant governor from Maryland, is widely expected to lose his bid to win another two-year term when the 168 members of the Republican National Committee vote on Jan. 14.
He's been prone to gaffes, such as calling the Afghanistan war, launched by former President George W. Bush, a war of Obama's choosing. In a minor one during Monday's debate, he said that "War and Peace," by Leo Tolstoy, was his favorite book, then volunteered the line, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." That line is from "A Tale of Two Cities" is by Charles Dickens.
And he's been a disappointing fundraiser. Some insiders say the party will end up with a debt from this election of about $20 million. As of Monday, the committee owed a net of $13 million, according to figures compiled by the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics. The Democratic National Committee, by comparison, owes a net of $5.8 million.
The website Politico reported Monday that Steele can't possibly win, saying that 88 committee members plan to vote against him. If true, that would make it impossible for him to tally the 85 votes out of 168 needed to win the job.
Punctuating Steele's challenge, two of his top aides, chief of staff Michael Leavitt and spokesman Doug Heye, announced their resignations Monday.
While Steele defended his tenure in the debate, he argued for his view of the party against a vision offered in large part by the man widely considered his chief rival, Wisconsin's Priebus.
Asked at one point about specific spending cuts in the federal government, Steele insisted that the party chairman focus on the mechanics of politics and leave policy decisions to Republicans in elected office.
"We need to be clear here about the role that we have here," Steele said. "You don't do policy, and the reality of it is, we don't, in this perch. We do politics."
He said the party chairman could take the message from party members to elected leaders in Congress, but that openly advocating a policy choice would draw a rebuke from congressional leaders.
"If you get it wrong, you'll be reminded: 'You don't do policy,' " he said.
Priebus urged a more aggressive role in policy.
"We lick the envelopes and put up the signs and do the hard work. ... Guess what: We expect a certain result," he said. "I think the party does have a role in enforcing what that expectation is with our elected officials."
At another point, Steele took issue with a question about which policy positions should disqualify someone to be a Republican.
"We cannot be a party that sits back with a litmus test and excludes, and the national chairman cannot go into a state: 'You're less Republican than you are, therefore I will not talk with you and only talk with you.' That is not the Republican Party that I joined at 17 years old," he said. "And it will not be the Republican Party I lead over the next two years. Trust me."
Priebus said tough times for the country demanded tough talk from the party chairman.
"Being the standardbearer for the Republican Party has to take into account that our country's in great peril," Priebus said.
"If we don't have a chairman who understands that being a Republican means something, that if you're pro-abortion, pro-stimulus, pro-GM bailout, pro-AIG, well, you know, guess what, you might not be a Republican," Priebus added.

PZA, which debuted in October 2007, charges 0.28% per year and has $642 million in assets under management. The ETF currently has a 30-day SEC yield of 3.2% and an effective duration of 7.9 years.
PZT also has an annual expense ratio of 0.28% with a 30-day SEC yield of 2.78% and an effective duration of 7.2 years. The $55.1 million PWZ has a 30-day SEC yield of 2.7% and an effective duration of 6.76 years. Like PZA and PZT, PWZ debuted in October 2007 and charges 0.28% per year.
"Since 2007, when the PowerShares Insured Municipal Bond Portfolios first listed, the US market for insured municipal bond securities has shrunk by over 40 percent, making the available supply of insured-municipal securities more limited. The new indexes underlying the PowerShares' Municipal Bond ETFs include both insured and uninsured municipal bonds," according to PowerShares.

Today's #fuzzfriday is an Tim Escobedo design: the Ugly Face. Here's what he had to say about it:
The Uglyface is a completely all-out fuzz unit for fat, noisy buzzsaw sounds. P1 sets the threshold for triggering the fuzz. This characteristic also means that notes can fade out abruptly when they decay below the set level. P2 is the frequency control. It functions as an unorthodox tone control, at one extreme producing synthesized octave down effects, at the other extreme, thin and nasal tones. When the threshold is set below the trigger point, the Uglyface becomes a free running oscillator, with P2 controlling the frequency. P3 is a Sensitivity control, regulating how much of the guitar signal will modulate the Frequency control.
Make sure the second IC is a CMOS 555 otherwise the effect won't work. Here's the schematic for reference.
This is a library of perfboard and single-sided PCB effect layouts for guitar and bass. I'm not an electrical engineer by any stretch of the imagination, just a DIY'er who likes drawing layouts. It is meant for the hobbyist (so commercial use of any of these layout is not allowed without permission) and as a way to give back to the online DIY community.
