I recently had a friend tell me he had a fantastic idea for a new software product. He wanted to create a new startup around that business idea, and only had to save up enough money to move to the San Francisco Bay area in order to launch his startup. Why do so many budding entrepreneurs believe they have to go where the action is to be successful?
Why is the bay area the only place where software startups happen?
Why does finance have to be done on Wall Street?
Why is federal contracting centered around the DC beltway?
Russell Conwell's Acres of Diamonds speech tells the story of a man who searched everywhere for riches only to learn too late that great wealth was buried beneath his very home, had he only been willing to look hard for it right where he was.
It's tempting to go chasing the success of others and to want to play in their sandboxes, but what about the acres of diamonds in our own back yards? Is there any reason why your business idea can't be made to work right where you are if you apply a little creativity?
Ben Milne started the payment system Dwolla in Des Moines, Iowa, far from the glitter of silicon valley. In fact, he started it just miles from corn fields. I know. I grew up there.
Dave Ramsey didn't go to Wall Street to start his financial services empire. He did so from the comfortable home he found in the suburbs of Nashville.
Why not start a SCUBA school miles from the ocean where the competition is less and demand higher? Be creative! Mine the resources all around you and stop looking through binoculars at far-distant shores.
So what idea have you been waiting to solve geographically that you could instead start right now, in the diamond mines all around you?

Assembly Health Committee Approves Medina Bill to Allow Diacritical Marks on Vital Records
SACRAMENTO – Today the Assembly Health Committee passed Assembly Bill 82 by Assemblymember Jose Medina with bipartisan support. AB 82 would allow a person's name to be accurately recorded on their vital records.
"A name is closely tied to a person's identity, history, and heritage," said Assemblymember Medina. "It should be accurately represented on important documents, and parents should have the right to choose a name without government interference."
The passage of Proposition 63 in 1986 declared English as the official language of the State of California. Consequently, diacritical marks were not permitted in state records. AB 82 will allow the use of diacritical marks, such as accents, tildes, and umlauts, on vital records, including birth certificates, death certificates, and marriage licenses.
"Not all states omit diacritical marks in their records," Medina added. "As a state that prides itself on its inclusiveness and diversity, I hope California will provide this fundamental right to its residents."
AB 82 will next be heard in the Assembly Appropriations Committee.
Assemblymember Medina proudly represents California's 61st Assembly District, which consists of Riverside, Moreno Valley, and Perris.

In 2009, Joshua "Raihn" Keyes and the guitar-playing Goat, known for his electrical tracks from Castlevania on Castle Goat, joined creative forces, giving birth to their indie game development company Unchosen Paths LLC.
Currently in their two-man project, Goat executes the programing aspects of the game, like building a game engine from the ground up, while producing an original soundtrack for it. Keyes fills the roles of both artist and art director as he not only creates the conceptual art and other assets for the videogame, but also directs the overall artistic vision of the project.

Endometriosis is a condition of the female reproductive system that occurs when endometrium, the tissue that usually lines inside the uterus, starts to grow on other parts of the body internally. Endometriosis comes from the combination of endo, which means inside, and metrium, which refers to the uterus, the organ where babies are carried before being born. The most common place for the formation of lesions is the pelvic cavity, which include on or under the ovaries, on the fallopian tubes, behind the uterus, on the tissues that hold the uterus in place, and on the bowels or bladder.
Despite the fact there is currently no cure for endometriosis, researchers are focused on finding the causes for its development and improve the treatments available. The therapeutics prescribed for patients with endometriosis aim to address the symptoms, which are mainly pain and infertility, and range from pain medication to hormonal therapy and surgery. Research advancements in the field has led to greater understanding of the disease, and investigators have found that pain is not related to the size or location of the lesions as previously thought.
Evidence of Endometriosis in the Bowel
While pain and infertility are the two main symptoms of endometriosis, the disease manifests itself in other ways as well, including painful bowel movements and digestive or gastrointestinal symptoms similar to a bowel disorder. In addition to the pelvic cavity, endometriosis can affect the bowel in two forms. Superficial bowel endometriosis occurs on the surface of the bowel, while deep bowel endometriosis penetrates the bowel wall. It may also be the case that patients develop superficial recto-vaginal nodules that later progress and infiltrate the bowel wall. Bowel endometriosis and irritable bowel syndrome have similar symptoms, but in the case of the former, they experience alterations according to the menstrual cycle.
The primary symptoms of bowel endometriosis are dyschezia, which is consistent with pain on opening the bowels; dyspareunia, which is deep pelvic pain during sex; and rectal bleeding while menstruating. If a physician suspects the condition, diagnosis exams include vaginal examination, ultrasound, and CT or MRI scan. However, the only method to confirm the diagnosis is surgery using two procedures called laparoscopy and sigmoidoscopy that enables surgeons to observe the interior of the abdomen and bowel respectively.
Treatment for Endometriosis in the Bowel
After confirmation of the bowel endometriosis diagnosis, patients can be treated with different methods, taking into consideration determined factors, such as the patients' age, severity of the symptoms and extent of the disease. If not treated, bowel endometriosis will continue to worsen over time and the symptoms may become more severe. Pain medication and hormonal therapy are options that may help, but won't cure bowel endometriosis. Despite the fact that surgery does not cure it either, it is the most common type of treatment for the disease.
There are currently three types of surgery for the treatment of bowel endometriosis, and all of them can be performed laparoscopically (with small incisions in the abdomen) or through open surgery. Each surgical procedure is meant to address the individual needs of the patient. A re-anastomosis consists of the removal of the affected segment or section of bowel and re-connection of the bowel, while in the case of small areas affected by the disease, surgeons may opt to cut the disc of affected bowel and close the hole in the bowel. In addition, surgeons may shave off the affected areas or nodules, leaving the bowel intact, but this procedure may leave residual endometriosis.

Work days begin.
There's a lot of material to prime...
...and to paint. Pink is the color of FIRST Team 172 Northern Force, Teddy's robotics team. The project is a cabinet that will organize Lego robotics components in Falmouth Elementary School. The pink color is a subtle cue to encourage the students to join the team when they get to high school.
Today's Tom Sawyer.
Measure twice. Cut once.
Looking good, Teddy!
Final touch up.
Out the door to Falmouth Elementary School!
When we arrived, we discovered that the site had changed: now, there were brackets and legs under the tables, which weren't there in the spring. Teddy did some quick engineering to preserve the existing table tops and attach them to the cabinets.

Bedroom 'Drift' Roman Blinds
Bringing pattern into your bedroom – Roman Blinds
A customer has shared photos with us of her new bedroom roman blinds that are made using Drift, nightshade. These roman blinds are made using our standard lining or you can have them with a blackout lining if you would like to keep out all light.
It is nice to see the daylight coming through the blind when using a standard lining as you get to still see the woven cloth texture as shown in these photos. Our standard lining is a cotton lining that lets a gentle light through so you see the texture of the cotton linen during the day and early mornings as well as full privacy night and day when down over the window.
Blackout linings are our favourite for bedrooms as it provides complete blackout of the sunlight so you sleep until you need to. It will provide complete privacy when the blinds are down. It also works like the thermal linings in helping keep the heat in the room due to the thickness of the lining. So when down they are giving you a stylish room as well as being functional to help reduce your energy bills.
Natasha Marshall 'Drift' design
We offer the Natasha Marshall 'Drift' design in 5 colourways – Nightshade (as seen here), apple, chilli pepper, jet and sand as Roman blinds. This design and colourways are also all available as Fabric Roller blinds.
Drift graphic wave fabric by Natasha Marshall is one of the designs from their new Ikon collection launched in 2015. The drift fabric design was originally created by the Natasha Marshall design team in 2007, and due to its continuing popularity it has been recoloured to create an enduring modern graphic design. The original inspiration for Drift was derived from drawings and photographs of the city, and this urban influenced print proves that pattern inspiration really can be found anywhere.
The fabric is screenprinted in the UK on to a beautifully soft Cotton Linen base cloth.

Watch This Guy Barehand Monster Fish with Perfect Calm
It takes cunning to barehand monster fish!
Well, it seems this guy has no need for a fly rod, or even a net! I'm not sure who he is, but he sure knows how to barehand monster fish.
Watch as he sneaks up this tiny creek and grabs multiple fish with his bare hands.
The guy reminds me of a bear swatting at salmon in a remote river in the Pacific Northwest. It's like he woke up that day and said, "I'l just casually stroll up this stream and manhandle some huge fish along the way. No biggie!"
Judging by the look on his face, I bet that type of situation is a normal occurrence for him. You never see the guy filming, but he, too, seems quite calm during the entire video.
I sure would like to have the GPS coordinates for that stream.

Wars can be prevented or mitigated by early, clear and well-designed political and diplomatic engagement. Yet policymakers are increasingly stretched by a myriad of global crises. Refocusing on knowledge, relationships, frameworks, strategic communication and pathways to peace is crucial to limiting and resolving the world's current upsurge in deadly conflict.
The Islamic State, al-Qaeda-linked groups, Boko Haram and other extremist movements are protagonists in today's deadliest crises, complicating efforts to end them. They have exploited wars, state collapse and geopolitical upheaval in the Middle East, gained new footholds in Africa and pose an evolving threat elsewhere. Reversing their gains requires avoiding the mistakes that enabled their rise.

Occasional thoughts from a young adult reveling in the messiness of life.
The year was 2002. I walked into my creative writing class to find my professor and a few of my classmates sitting with a man unknown to us. He would be our guest that day, and it turns out that it was a day that I'll never forget.
The class was small, with no more than 12 students in total. Outside, it was a bright, beautiful day, and the light felt even brighter because we had the lights off in the small classroom.
Our guest was an older man, his skin tone dark and warm. It quickly became clear that he was not from the U.S. His face bore the marks of a life lived voraciously–his skin was weathered and his eyes drew you in with their deep, dazzling darkness. He spoke softly but deliberately. He was an oral storyteller-poet.
He didn't write anything down. The juxtaposition baffled me. A writer who didn't write. He would compose such beautiful stories and poems and speak them aloud, but as quickly as the sound of the words left his lips, it would all vanish into the air.
As soon as the realization hit me that I would never encounter his stories and poems again, I tried scribbling furiously to write down everything he was saying. My hand ached as I tried to keep up. But I couldn't. I kept watching the words disappear–never to be remembered, never to be captured, never to be heard again.
By the middle of the class, I stopped trying. It hit me that I was in the presence of something beautiful and unique that I knew I would never experience again, and the entire time, I was worried about how I would remember everything. Instead of being in the moment, I wanted to record the moment.
Toward the end of class, he asked us to call out a word–any word–and he would compose something about it.
I called out "elephant," and what he said has stayed with me:
"Big is never big enough when you've forgotten how to forget."
I sat still and let the words wash over me.
So often, we see forgetfulness as something to be looked down upon; until that moment, I had never considered it to be a virtue.
But as I look back at that day, and all the days that came before and have come since, I see that remembering can sometimes be the vice.
For me, there are times when I'm so worried that I will forget something that I end up missing the experience altogether. And then there are those memories that I wish I could forget. How beautiful a thought it is to revel in forgetfulness–to so fully live in a moment that the feeling of the experiences that you want to stay with you, will, and to be able to let those that you don't want to stay with you simply fade away.
How I wish that I were truly big enough to remember how to forget.

False Allegations Of Child Sexual Abuse: What You Should Know
A Free Report By Edward Nichols, MSW, CSW-R
To Receive Free Report:
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com and request "Free Report"
Report will be sent by return email as an attached file.
Nonetheless, the mere allegation of child sexual abuse triggers a cadre of
partially educated "caseworkers" who launch an "investigation" calling upon
self-styled "experts" to "validate" their often questionable agenda.
In cases of false allegations of child sexual abuse the stakes are high:
ranging from estrangement from one's children to jail sentences comparable to
those convicted of murder. Thus, this free report presents several components
of defending against the false allegation of child sexual abuse that anyone
in such a position should know. Moreover, it will be particularly helpful to
the attorney representing the falsely accused, or for the falsely accused
attempting to retain an effective attorney. While this report is not legal
advice, the author, as a recognized expert in the area, is presenting
material which, in his experience, is associated with the efficient defense
against the false allegation of child sexual abuse -- whether in the earliest
stages, or in a domestic or criminal court action.
About The Author: Edward Nichols is a licensed professional social worker and
psychotherapist who is based in New York City. After nearly 15 years of
private practice, consultation, and retention as an expert witness
nationally, his comprehensive reference volume, False Allegations Of Child
Sexual Abuse: The Attorney's Desk Reference, was published [N.C.P.I., Inc:
Conway, S.C.-out of print]. This book, reviewed by BNA's Family Law Reporter
became an instant success and the author was retained as a consultant in a
variety of cases nationally. Today, the author maintains a private practice
of consulting in cases of false allegations and is also available for
evaluations and expert testimony nationally. His revised book, False
Allegations Of Child Sexual Abuse: A Complete Reference For Attorneys And
Clients, is now exclusively available on 3.5 PC diskettes [see order form
at the end of Free Report].
Overview of Free Report: The effective response to false allegations of child
sexual abuse may be divided in seven general areas of concern: [1] An
understanding of the general principles of defense; [2] The effective case
management of all aspects of the allegations and pending legal actions; [3]
The ability to accurately assess the accused; [4] A comprehensive
understanding of the indicators of child sexual abuse in actual cases of
abuse; [5] A detailed understanding of how to refute experts and their
opinions, reports and testimony; [6] The knowledge of how to find experts who
will be able to assist at every stage of the defense; and, [7] The knowledge
of how to use the research to expose each and every false aspect of the
allegations. This report elaborates on each of these areas.
The author sincerely hopes that those who are falsely accused and attorneys
who practice in this area take advantage of this Free Report and pass on the

Let me just start off by saying that Heather at The Texas Gypsy is AMAZING! Seriously, out of all of the reviews I have done of beauty products, this one is my fav so far! Ahhh, I just can't say enough good things about these products!
So check out all of these awesome goodies I received in the mail to review and giveaway to one lucky reader! I got to review everything outside of the basket and one lucky reader will get this awesome goody basket!!
The first thing I tried was the Lovely Lavender Bath Bomb
The scent was SO relaxing! I loved the fizzing it did in the bathtub and it really helped me wind down after a long day at work!
Next I tried the Pomegranate Sugar Scrub
The Texas Gypsy Pomegranate Sugar Scrub is blended with whole oats for a soothing exfoliation to get you "extra smooth." You will love it! I really have dry skin in some places, like my elbows and heels. Seriously, y'all, I am in need of a pedicure badly! This sugar scrub really helped my rough heels! I couldn't believe it! It smelled so good and didn't leave my body feeling too greasy after using it, like some sugar scrubs I've tried in the past have done!
I then tried the Goat's Milk Soaps in Pomegranate, Cupcake, and Land of Milk & Honey Oatmeal
My favorite one by far was the cupcake scent, but that's probably just because I'm a fatty! ;) These soaps all left my skin feeling very smooth as well. Hunter loves them as well and kinda claimed them as his own after I had used them each once! lol!
I had never used Lotion Bars before...
But I LOVED them!! Who says trying something new is a bad thing?! I was kinda skeptical at first, but after I used it, I loved it!

Chris Carmichael and CTS Team "Going Pro" for the 2011 Amgen Tour of California(March 21, 2011 - Colorado Springs, CO) - Carmichael Training Systems has partnered with AEG, presenter of the Amgen Tour of California, to create a once-in-a-lifetime experience for serious amateur cyclists. A select group of 22 athletes and four CTS Coaches, including CTS Founder and CEO, Chris Carmichael, are "going pro" for the 2011 Amgen Tour of California with the introduction of The Amgen Tour of California Race Experience. Participants in the The Amgen Tour of California Race Experience will, under the supervision of CTS, ride all 800 miles of the Amgen Tour of California route in 8 days.
The CTS Amgen Tour of California Race Experience will put amateur cyclists on the start line of every stage of the 2011 Amgen Tour of California a few hours before the professional peloton departs. This is not merely a cycling tour; the CTS team must work together as a cohesive unit and fast enough to stay ahead of the approaching professional peloton. If they do not, either as a group or individual riders, they will be forced off the race course by the pros.
Carmichael, who raced the 1986 Tour de France with the iconic 7-Eleven Team and directed US National Cycling Teams at some of the world's biggest races, said, "This is an opportunity that amateur cyclists just don't get. These athletes will ride an 8-day stage race with professional-level support from team vehicles. They're going to live and ride like professional cyclists for the 2011 Amgen Tour of California, and they're going to leave with a very different perspective on what it takes to be a professional."
But the Amgen Tour of California Race Experience goes well beyond the bike. The race organization will provide the CTS Team with similar accommodations, meals, and amenities as the pro teams competing in the event. And just like the pros, riders will be required to live out of one team-supplied duffel bag, have professional mechanics on the route with them, and professional massage therapy after each stage. "We're very excited that AEG has provided us with such unprecedented access to the biggest professional cycling event in the United States," commented Carmichael. "They've helped us create a truly unique experience for devoted amateur cyclists."
"The Amgen Tour of California Race Experience is the first event of its kind, and we are excited to be a part of it for its inaugural run," said Andrew Messick, president, AEG Sports. "The fact that this experience was fully booked in just two days is a testament to the appeal both of cycling in the U.S. and for the kind of big challenges that CTS helps athletes tackle."
The Amgen Tour of California Race Experience is one event in the newly created "Chris Carmichael's Epic Endurance Bucket List" (http://www.trainright.com/bucketlist). Others events on the list include the Leadville 100, Trans Andes, La Ruta, the Triple Bypass, and King Ridge GranFondo. These epic events target the adventurous endurance athlete and feature various packages of CTS coaching, camps and race support. "There's a hunger out there for big challenges," commented Carmichael. "The demand is there as well. We filled the Amgen Tour of California Race Experience to capacity in two days, just by reaching out to individual athletes we already knew."
About the Amgen Tour of CaliforniaThe largest cycling event in America, the 2011 Amgen Tour of California is a Tour de France-style cycling road race, presented by AEG, that challenges the world's top professional cycling teams to compete along a demanding course from May 15-22, 2011.

Visiting the Ourthe river and Quai des Ardennes, Liège, Belgium: peaceful, urban riverside scenes
Gracious and leafy fluvial prospects
The city of Liège, in Belgium's Walloon region (French: Région wallonne) is historically known as one of the country's great urban centres located on the Meuse river. Various of the Downtown and suburban areas of the city are almost literally perched overlooking this great river, with many high-rise buildings having replaced other, less space-efficient but more gracious, older buildings along the various quays which
However, there is also another great river at Liège, and this is the Ourthe which flows from the Ardennes hill country to Liège's Fétinne suburb, where its confluence with the Meuse occurs. Unlike some of the quays alongside the Meuse, high-rise real estate development has not been as relentless along the Ourthe, and pleasing avenues align its quays, providing scenic walks and fine views of the Ardennes.
Interestingly, in the early 19th century, there was an ambitious canal project to link the Meuse and the Moselle rivers via the Ourthe river, but the independence of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg put an end to this undertaking.
The main photo (above) is a general view of the Quai des Ardennes, by the Ourthe river in Liège. The second view (right) shows the Quai des Ardennes, to the left of the photo, the Quai des Vennes to the right, the Belle-Ile Bridge (French: Pont Belle-Ile) and the hills of the Ardennes in the background. The third photo (right) shows the Quai des Ardennes, to the right of the photo, the Fétinne bridge (French: Pont de Fétinne)(1) in the centre of the view; looming above the trees on the Quai des Ardennes is the dome of the Church of Saint Vincent (French: Eglise de Saint-Vincent) (2).
Historically, the Ourthe department (no longer in existence) was the name given to a wide area in the Ardennes under French Revolutionary administration; this was before the existence of the Kingdom of Belgium, the independence of which dates from 1830.

Let us put "JOY" in your travel!
There are many great places across the U.S. to visit wineries or wine countries but none are quite as popular as Napa Valley. The area attracts many visitors each year so be sure to plan your trip ahead of time if you'd like to set up specific tours or activities. Keep in mind that the summer time is the most popular time to visit the area but spring and fall are equally beautiful and often less crowded.
The first activity that comes to mind when thinking of Napa is wine tasting. There are thousands of wineries to choose from so if you have some favorites, be sure to set up tastings at those wineries or if you'd prefer to take a more relaxed approach, you can plan a drive through wine country and stop at wineries as you choose. If you know that you want to stop at a specific winery, it's best to set up an appointment, especially if you'd like a food and wine pairing. Some of the most popular Napa wineries that you may have heard of are: Domaine Chandon, Robert Mondavi, Beringer Vineyards, Inglenook Winery, Cakebread, and Frog's Leap.
Another popular activity in the area is eating at one of the great local restaurants. In the area, you'll find some famous fine dining restaurants in addition to some great foods at local cafes. If you'd like to eat at one of the popular restaurants, be sure to book a reservation in advance. Some of the popular restaurants are The French Laundry, Bouchon Bistro, Mustards Grill, Go Fish, Rutherford Grill, Celedon, Bistro Jeanty, or R&D Kitchen. Finally, if you are a foodie, make a stop at the Culinary Institute of America's Greystone campus in St. Helena. Here, you can enjoy tastings, public restaurants, and a retail store.
A popular attraction is the Napa Valley Wine Train, which is a three-hour train ride throughout the valley that offers gourmet lunches or dinners while catching glimpses of Napa, Yountville, Oakville, Rutherford, and St. Helena. If you're interested, there's a tasting car that offers 30-4o wines to sample. For a great view of the valley, enjoy a glass of wine or a bite to eat on the terrace at Auberge du Soleil, which is a resort and restaurant. If you are fan of the outdoors, the area offers thousands of acres of hills and fields to walk, run, hike, or bike on but if you'd prefer a different mode of transportation through the trails, look into a Segway tour.
Another attraction, the Castello di Amorosa, will make you feel as if you are in Europe. The general admission to this castle allows you to tour two levels of the castle in addition to enjoying a tasting of five wines. As mentioned above when talking about the Wine Train, there are many cute towns in the area. One of which is St. Helena, which has boutiques, restaurants, shops, and galleries to peruse. Finally, if you're bringing the whole family, consider Safari West, which allows you to take jeep tours through a 400-acre wildlife sanctuary.
Happy wine-tasting!
Nice post, thanks for sharing! I love Napa- there's so much to do there! Something I really enjoy doing is going on a kayaking tour- it's relaxing and a great way to enjoy Napa Valley at a slower pace and different perspective.

Technologies of Gender: Essays on Theory, Film, and Fiction (Theories of Representation and Difference)
Technologies of Gender builds a bridge between the fashionable orthodoxies of academic theory (Lacan, Foucault, Derrida, et al.) and the frequently-marginalized contributions of feminist theory.... In sum, de Lauretis has written a book that should be required reading for every feminist in need of theoretical ammunition--and for every theorist in need of feminist enlightenment." --B. Ruby Rich
... sets philosophical ideas humming.... she has much to say." --Cineaste
I can think of no other work that pushes the debate on the female subject forward with such passion and intellectual rigor." --SubStance
This book addresses the question of gender in poststructuralist theoretical discourse, postmodern fiction, and women's cinema. It examines the construction of gender both as representation and as self-representation in relation to several kinds of texts and argues that feminism is producing a radical rewriting, as well as a rereading, of the dominant forms of Western culture.

Between Gap and Touch
with Linda Bufali
Empty spaces, to be followed, to be filled, to be live in.
We will observe volumes, the spaces that get constantly created between us and the other.
The contact will arrive without forcing it, unexpected and loose of an "esthetical form".
What is possible to be controlled and what is not?
When can I choose? When, in the other hand, is not possible and I have to trust to follow, to flow, to fall?
We will use very simple images to experience the concept of fullness / emptiness and what is in the middle. We will push to the exteme many 'roles' that we can choose during the dance and that we can change all the time, looking for an internal stimulus that travels from us to partner and to the space. Technically it is a proposal on the tone, on the load of movement and connection, to enrich and enjoy every moment what's in the duo. When working in solo, we will use the image of the ball to dance the internal and external space of our body, to dance with the floor, to play with moments of disequilibrium to exit from our usual 'frontal pattern', discovering the endless directions.
Weight, momentum, listening, spirals.
And we'll dance.

Visitors :
North India might experience its first big cold wave of the season from December 11 onwards because of fresh snow spells and rain in the hills, said private weather forecaster Skymet.
The forecaster said the cold wave could also include fog and rain in the plains which might impact road, rail and air traffic in the region.
"Winters first mega storm coming from December 11th in North India, be prepared for snow, rain and fog. Road, rail and air will be affected," Skymet CEO, Jatin Singh tweeted.
Cold weather conditions could be beneficial for the late sown wheat crop, which is yet to planted in some parts of the country including Uttar Pradesh and Punjab.
The state-run India Meteorological Department (IMD) in its forecast, too, said that temperatures over North India and in other parts of the country might remain appreciably below normal during the same period.
The met department in its annual winter weather prediction released earlier this month said that winters this year could be colder than last year but warmer than the normal across the country.

Some of you may have read the first part of my little article on Frank Oates, an illustrator who came to my attention through the book 'Match Fishing How to Join the Ranks of the Experts'. A small obituary in the York Press is the only source of information about the man, and it makes no mention of his incredible illustrations, which, to my mind deserve recognition as classic pieces of British outsider art.
Here's some more of Oates artwork;
Observe the tight-jawed intensity on this mans face as he waits for the match fishing session to commence. Its enough to strike fear into the heart of any fish.
The page above is just gorgeous, although Oates' approach to many aspects of drawing can be somewhat singular, this page proves his capabilities. Anyone who's ever tried to draw fish will appreciate the economy with which he manages to capture the essential differences between the species. Even the crosshatching takes perfect account of scale size.
This one I would categorise as one of Oates' existential pieces. It may not have been his intention, but I can't look at it without reflecting that, essentially, we are all gudgeon in a keep net, and, though we may not weigh much individually, the weight soon adds up. I think it may have something to do with the almost medieval approach to depth of field and the strange pathos one feels for the little fish swimming around in the keep net.
Something about the black umbrella and the water going up to heaven, reminds me of japanese prints, but one thing I've felt vey strongly whilst writing these two posts is a helplessness to really put my finger on just what makes these illustrations so great. I find them endlessly fascinating, psychological, beautiful, metaphorical, somehow heavy with a history that is as old as fishing itself, yet also imbued with a very modern sense of anxiety.
I hope that one day Frank Oates' illustrations will find a wider audience, and that perhaps I've done my bit here to make that happen. In the mean time remember, keep your eyes peeled in the junk shop, you never know what lost genius you might uncover!

Lending institutions require a termite inspection, before they will provide financing for your Long Island home. Termites can make themselves at home in a newly constructed house very quickly, sometimes before the human occupants are completely settled in. Sometimes, despite a clean Long Island termite inspection, these gnawing bugs take up residence soon after construction is complete. Even if you know what to look for (see our article that addresses the distinction between termites and ants), an infestation can go undiagnosed and untreated. Spring typically is when large numbers of winged termites, known as "swarmers," emerge and when seen inside of your Long Island home indicate that an infestation of termites is present. People often confuse winged termites with ants, which often swarm at the same time of the year. Termites can be differentiated by their straight antennae, uniform waist and wings of equal size. Ants have elbowed antennae, constricted waists and forewings that are longer than the hind wings. Other signs of infestation are mud tubules extending over foundation walls, support piers, sill plates and floor joists. Termites construct these mud tubes for shelter as they travel between their underground colonies and the structure. When doing a Long Island termite inspection the pest control professional will look for termite damaged wood, which is hollowed out along the grain, with bits of dried mud or soil. Often times there will be no visible indication that a home is infested by termites. A termite infestation can go undetected for years, hidden behind walls, floor coverings, insulation and other obstructions in a Long Island home. Termite feeding and damage can even progress undetected in wood that is exposed, because the outer surface is usually left intact. This is why it is so important to use a termite detection dog to do a Long Island termite inspection. For the best protection, contact a Long Island termite control and inspection expert at DQ Pest Control to perform periodic checks using a certified termite detection dog. In the meantime, it helps to know how to spot these destructive pests.
Read more about our animal control and wildlife removal services at:
Our termite detection canine can check a room in less than two minutes when doing a Long Island termite inspection. Many homeowners and business owners mistake termites for ants and leave the infestation untreated, or use an inappropriate eradication method. Any Long Island pest control expert will tell you that termites aren't likely to respond to ant insecticides quite the way the homeowner would like. Ridding a home of termites requires special skills, a knowledge of building construction, the use of specialized equipment and the application of restricted use termiticides. Letting the problem slide isn't an option, if you value your property. Left untreated, termites can literally eat up the equity in your home. According to the National Pest Management Association, termites cost Americans more than $5 billion in damages each year. We feel there is no better defense against termites than a customized home protection plan from DQ Pest Control. We base our termite treatment and control on your Long Island home's specific construction type because we understand that every home is unique and not all customer's needs are the same. Our mission is to deliver the best value in the termite control of your Long Island home.
If you suspect your home is infested by either insect, call in a Long Island termite inspection team from DQ Pest Control and have your home inspected by our certified termite detection dog. Here are a few tips-offs that your resident bug might be a termite:
Swarms: Termites buzz around during the day or after rainfall. If you miss the "show," look for discarded wings on window and door sills.Damage: Look for the signature honeycomb pattern in wood beams, studs or other wood in and around the home.Mud tubes: These pests will dig pencil-sized tunnels in the mud under or near a home.Termites themselves: About the size of rice grains, termites hide quickly, but if you see one it's inspection time!
If you're still unsure, don't wait to find out. Get a canine termite inspection of your Long Island property.
Regular inspections for termites - about once a year - are highly recommended. DQ Pest Control offers reasonable Long Island termite control and inspection to owners of residential, commercial and industrial properties. We are licensed and insured and are New York State certified as well. And, because we're family-owned, you have the assurance of knowing that our Long Island pest control methods put the safety and security of the family first.

The last few times, we've looked at Jesus' words that the Holy Spirit will persuade people concerning sin righteousness and judgment [John 16:8 – 11]. The last of those three words is judgment. We don't have to second guess what Jesus meant, because he added, "the prince of this world is judged". Jesus didn't refer to the judgment at the end of the world, or judgment over sin; he was referring to the devil and evil being judged.
Many people, including those in the Western world, live in fear of evil, of demons and devils. Before he went to the cross Jesus exclaimed, "Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out".
Christ, as the perfect representative of humankind, willingly put himself under Satan's territory – death. He completely identified with all the evil that hell has to offer, defeated it and triumphed over it once and for all. This is hope for all in a world of despair. When we work with the Holy Spirit, we never talk about how big or powerful the devil is. Instead, our focus is on how Jesus defeated the devil once for all.
Religious fundamentalism is, at the core, intolerant of any contrary opinion. This is true whether we speak of Christian, Muslim or Hindu fundamentalism.
Believers, who work together with the Holy Spirit, are characterized by tolerance towards all people. Notice, I didn't say tolerance against evil, but tolerance toward people. We're not offended because people curse or take the name of the Lord in vain. Abortionists, homosexuals, drunkards, drug addicts, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus and New Age practitioners do not upset us.
We know that people's real need is to be persuaded by the Holy Spirit about Jesus Christ, his righteousness and his triumph. We are not so concerned about the symptoms of sin, but the core of the matter – not believing in Jesus Christ.
The quicker we discover how the Holy Spirit works with non-Christians, the quicker we can start to work with the Holy Spirit. That's how we will realize the spiritual awakening that we so long for.
Suggested Scripture readings: John 16:7–11, John 1:29, 2nd Corinthians 5:18- 19, 1st John 2:1–2, Romans 1:16–17, Romans 5:17, Romans 10:2–4, Colossians 2:13–15.

Dark Expanse Anthology
I had the privilege of writing a story for the Dark Expanse anthology, a set of short stories set in the universe of the Dark Expanse multi-player online strategy game. It's the first time I've written a story in a shared world, and I found it to be a lot of fun, especially since the world had already been imagined so well by the authors who came before me. There are a lot of great authors in this anthology, including Nebula, Hugo, and World Fantasy award winners, and the stories are a lot of fun to read. I hope you'll check it out!
