I finally had a chance to fish with my dad, Mike Taylor, for a couple of hours on Labor day - we fished a few of my choice snags. The *old man* out-fished me today (I had to run the boat - I'm sticking to that). We put some nice fish in the boat today an 8lb, 6lb, 5.5lb, and 19.5inch fluke. Awesome day on the water.

Celebrity trumpet player Till Brönner is behind a plan to create a hub for jazz in Berlin, to rival New York's Jazz at Lincoln Center. The German Bundestag has already approved 12.5 million euros for the venue.
The Alte Münze venue in downtown Berlin is to be renovated and turned into a world-class hub for jazz music.
Last week, the German Bundestag set aside 12.5 million euros ($13.2 million) for the renovation and 50,000 euros for trumpet star Till Brönner (photo) to work out a detailed plan for the project.
It's time for "Germany and Berlin to become a central cultural hub, in which German and international guests experience concerts, talented musicians are supported, and exchange, research and tradition are fostered," read the initial proposal, as reported by the "Süddeutsche Zeitung."
Tim Renner, Berlin's secretary for cultural affairs and a former music manager, is behind the endeavor. Previously the head of MotorMusic, his label once had Brönner under contract.
Initial funding secure
Due to the upcoming federal elections and restructuring in Berlin's political cultural scene, Renner will soon be passing his position on to Klaus Lederer from the Left party. The House of Jazz can be seen as his parting venture.
While initial funding has been secured from the federal government, it remains unclear who will foot the bill for the regular upkeep of the facility.
Also up in the air is what will happen to the approximately 30 artists who are currently using the Alte Münze venue. According to "Berliner Zeitung," American neon artist Olivia Steele, techno producer Ferdinand Dreyssig and sustainable drink maker Lemonaid all have offices in the space.
However, Renner told "Berlin Zeitung" that only 4,000 of the total 10,000 square meters in the venue will be converted into the House of Jazz. The additional space - largely located in the basement - would lend itself well to activities that need soundproofing like rehearsal rooms or a club.
He revolutionized jazz several times and dabbled in many other musical genres. In honor of the 25th anniversary of trumpet legend Miles Davis' death, here is a look back at the mark he left on music. (28.09.2016)
Till Brönner is celebrated as Germany's most successful jazz performer - not just at home but all over the world. DW spoke to Germany's most recognized, and probably tallest, talent in jazz about his new album. (02.09.2016)
The Jazzfest Bonn has an unusual format and a notably international lineup. As the festival's two week season gets underway, its artistic director explains what makes the genre special. (22.04.2016)

The comments have fanned the flames that have already mildly burned relations between Warsaw and Jerusalem after the Polish parliament recently moved to pass legislation that Israel has argued is an attempt to downplay Poland's role in Nazi atrocities.
The guest of the program aired by TVP2 also slammed Israel for its vociferous opposition to the bill, which prescribes prison time for defaming the Polish nation by using phrases such as "Polish death camps" to refer to the killing sites Nazi Germany operated in occupied Poland during World War II.
"This narrative is built out of contempt for the facts," argued Marcin Jerzy Wolski who hosts the Polish public mainstream TV channel operated by TVP.
Discussing an experiment carried out in Germany in which exhaust fumes were pumped into rooms containing monkeys and humans, Wloski and the conservative commentator and author Rafal Aleksander Ziemkiewicz digressed into a conversation about Jews in the Holocaust, gas chambers and how the Nazis improvised as they searched for more efficient methods to murder European Jewry.
The two then segued into an attack of Israeli criticism against the new bill and the "claims" that Poles participated in the Holocaust. Ziemkiewicz also slammed the notion of blaming nations for the actions of individuals.
"Don't be surprised if someone teaches that the Jewish people crucified Jesus or participated in the Holocaust," he said. "If we look at the percentage of involvement of countries that took part, Jews also were part of their own destruction."
Wolski responded by saying: "Using this terminology, linguistically, we could say these were not German or Polish camps, but were Jewish camps. After all, who dealt with the crematoria?"
Taking the theory further, Ziemkiewicz asked: "And who died in them? Jews. History has been forgotten. Instead of history there is a narrative that serves political and other interests. This narrative is built out of contempt for facts."
A few hours before the program, Ziemkiewicz published on Twitter an anti-Semitic post before deleting it shortly after.
"For many years I have convinced my people that we must support Israel. Today, because of a few scabby or greedy people, I feel like an idiot," he wrote in his tweet, evoking a term often used in anti-Semitic slurs in Poland.
During and after the Holocaust, Poles frequently referred to Jews as "scabby" as a derogatory expression.
A statement released by the Israeli Foreign Ministry expressed deep concern about the discussion.
"We are anxiously following the statements of an anti-Semitic nature made on Polish media and are considering discussing the subject with the embassy in Warsaw," the statement read.
The interview was not the only public expression in the Polish media against Israeli furor. One radio presenter suggested that Poles who support the Israeli positions should consider forfeiting their Polish citizenship.
"If there's someone who behaves like a spokesperson for Israeli interests, maybe it's worth it for him to consider giving up his Polish citizenship and getting Israeli citizenship," Piotr Nisztor said in statements that were published on the radio station's twitter account.
It is not only the Israeli political establishment that has expressed outrage over the Polish initiative, however.
An Israeli historian of Jewish-Israeli heritage who was awarded in 2012 the Knight's Cross of the Order of Merit of the Republic from the then Polish president for his contribution to promoting the memory—and increasing awareness of—the Polish Righteous Among the Nations, has returned his award in protest against the "demonic" legislation.

Brian pisses me off. I hardly have words to describe the anger the man is capable of generating in me. It would have been an ugly thing if I had run into him today after the newest outrage. I swear that if I had the means, I would fire this clown in a heartbeat.
It all started last week when the hearing regarding our motion to contest restitution was rescheduled AGAIN, because the Writ was not served in enough time. I gather the counties only require a few days' notice to transfer a detainee, whereas immigration needs a minimum of 2 weeks to process such a request. Brian forwarded me a series of email between himself, the prosecutor, and the clerk of court as they went back and forth setting a new date. Brian requested June 7th at 2:45 pm, which was fine with the prosecutor, however the Judge was in trial at that time so the clerk offered several different times on the same day. Maybe I'll just let you read parts of the email change so you can see why they irritate me so. It starts from the most recent and ends with the forwarded email chain.

Simple Solutions
How to Patch a Hole in Drywall
By: Joe Truini
Here's a tip for patching a hole in drywall:
- Start by using a drywall saw to cut a square around the hole.
- Get an extra piece of drywall and cut a patch 2 inches larger than the hole on all sides.
- Turn the patch over and score four lines, snap it, and peel off the gypsum core. What you're left with is a square of drywall attached to the center of the paper.
- Spread some drywall joint compound on the back of the paper and plug it in the square you cut out of the wall.
- Smooth out the paper with a taping knife and let dry overnight.
- Sand, prime and paint the patch.

My husband and I just bought our first house. The first project was building on a washer and dryer closet and a large pantry. This video was very helpful for a repair we had to make!
Thank you!

@Chi Chi. Anytime you do a repair on textured walls and/or surfaces you have to re-do the texture after you do the repair on the surface. On textured surfaces its hard to hide small repairs. That's why most (not all) people in the business absolutely hate textured popcorn or knockdown walls and ceilings unless they are doing the whole area over.

This is cool, I have never seen a repair like this one. But won't this leave a noticeable square outline? Especially with textured, orange-peel walls like I have here in California.

There is little doubt that climate change will produce more frequent and severe weather patterns. As such those communities who are susceptible to weather-related phenomena - such as drought, floods, cyclones and extreme heat and extreme cold events - will face ever-greater threats of 'natural disasters'. Indeed, with natural disasters affecting on average more than 250,000,000 people per year in the past decade and with climate change set to increase the incidence of such events will the humanitarian community be able to cope? This paper is a concerted study to ascertain what the financial cost of humanitarian operations would be in light of increasing climate change. It also explores the more complex humanitarian consequences of climate-change driven disasters - i.e. the socio-political consequences of droughts, floods and extreme weather - to garner an understanding of the potential impacts on the global community. The authors' findings/recommendations include:
- the most conservative models indicate a severe increase in costs of disasters, even within the next twenty years. At a minimum, an increase of spending on climate-related disasters of USD 57 million is projected. The worst-case maximum yields a rise of over USD 2.7 billion;
- the socio-economic impacts of large disasters (initiated by climate change) are potentially catastrophic - destruction and loss of livelihoods could lead to frustration and mass civil unrest; this could impact on economies already at risk from damaged infrastructure facing long bouts of 'lost production'; whilst the demographics of societies could undergo fundamental change as the vulnerable are unable to withstand such extremes of weather. In an increasingly interconnected world these ramifications are much more keenly felt;
- at present, national disaster response is left up to each state. In a global economy, this is clearly not acceptable. The creation of well-supported standby funding mechanisms would enable humanitarian agencies to respond more predictably and flexibly to future unknown needs;
- with appropriate planning, states can profoundly alter the environment within which individuals act. They can encourage and inform; provide the infrastructure of physical protection and response; and they can regulate to encourage the innovative use of insurance and partnership between the private sector and the state.

We have a lot of existing sand box databases in prod for developers, is there anyway to move these databases to a lab group or lab and then have the objects or administration of the databases available through the data labs portlet ? From what I can see I don't think it's possible, but thought I'd ask first. If I GIVE an existing database to a lab, it's objects are not visible to the lab through the portlet, so I think the only way would be to recreate all the objects from the existing database to a new lab database, however then this causes issues with having to grant security rights to the new lab as well.
Probably best to leave existing sand boxes as is and all new ones to be created through data labs.

Type 1 refers to the SEO agencies that ar experienced and professional in its work. They take special interests in the brands they are associated with. According to an expert fro an SEO Agency in Dubai, experienced SEO agencies are transparent in their offerings and always look to develop long-term business association with their clients. Their first priority is to deliver the best on a client's investment.
Type 2:
You may be wonder to know that there are a number of SEO agencies that are unaware of in-depth knowledge of SEO. They outsource everything that they offer to their customers. Given that, they don't perform the job at their own, they lack control on the campaign and wholly depend on the people they outsource. As the result, they don't offer the highest quality of SEO services and are unable to deliver what is crucial for your website.
Type 3:
Numerous SEO companies claim to provide you what you may expect from them to obtain desirable results for your brand. Most of the time, they make use of attractive offers to draw customers' attention but at the time of result, you don't get anything.
The types of SEO agencies clearly demonstrate why the quality SEO service providers tend to be expensive. Moreover, it also explains that how hiring amateur companies can be risky and cause damage to your website in the ranking of a search engine. So, it is very important to choose the right company after a proper research. Also, make sure that your communication shouldn't become blurred when you need professional SEO services for your business. You must be clear about your expectations from your professional service provider for your company. Don't be hesitate to ask for weekly or monthly reports from your service provider.

'Freud instead encouraged his now fully cognisant patients simply to talk about whatever might occur to them. He called this technique 'free association' and likened it to 'excavating a buried city.' (quoted from Freud: A life for Our Time, 1988, p. 69, in Educational Complex, p. 89)
The Afterall On Work book Educational Complex excavates a buried city too. John Miller writes a dense, informative 50 page essay about Mike Kelley's sculptural installation which features several of the schools Kelley went to. Except CalArts all schools are located in Kelley's home state, Michigan. Below are a few comments, including extended excerpts from the book. I did highlight some parts in Blue that I found particularly relevant for diverse reasons, especially their proximity to some issues I have been concerned with in my In the Museum project.
Educational Complex quite simply interests me because it features a selection of architectural models connected to a discourse that transgresses the architectural, taking the models into a twilight realm of psycho-architectures that can be linked to a diverse range of topics such as education, musing on institutional bodies, types of institutional critique, Freud's initial 'discovery' of the unconscious; and more modern, ever shifting, adapting notions of the unsconsious.
Despite the supposedly personal choice of schools, Educational Complex is one of Kelley's more impersonal works: 'With Educational Complex, Kelley's focus expanded to include, as artefacts, not only generic forms of architecture (…). Via this archaeology of the contemporary, his concerns became more encompassing and more impersonal.' (Educational Complex, p. 94)
John Miller has been teaching for years in several US art schools and knows the inner workings of the day-to-day educational art complex. 'Kelley, concerned as he was with projection and misrecognition, grappled with this basic condition of ideology as his primary aesthetic orientation.' (Educational Complex, p. 61) Miller describes the mid to late 20th century shift towards a more individualised approach of teaching art students, which may lead to a 'be and do who you are' doctrine: 'Kelley: Since I am an artist, it seemed natural to look to my own aesthetic training as the root of my secret indoctrination in perversity and possibly as the site of my own abuse. My education must have been a form of mental abuse, of brainwashing. Educational Complex, p. 28). Another comment by Kelley alludes to the confusion, perhaps a complex confusion, he experienced while being a student: 'The assignments he gave were so open-ended that I never knew exactly what was expected of me, or even what the aim a particular exercise was. This confusion was part of the point of the class, I suppose: to define our activity as it went along, or, rather, to learn to develop an approach that would elude definition.' (from Foul Perfection, MIT Press, 2003, p.200, in: Educational Complex, p. 53)
Another important ideology that is part of the educational framework are the high tuition fees in the US. The fees are a crucial point when thinking about the framework supposedly being based on democratic ideas of a general access to higher education: 'This question is most acute in the United States, whose institutions require such prohibitively high tuition fees. Even though education alone cannot transform existing political economies, universal access to higher education could help foster social equality.' (Educational Complex, p. 106)
Educational Complex does not really deal with Kelley's personal trauma or repressed (or not) elements of his particular curriculum vitae. The actual building design is based on photos Kelley used to recreate the individual models. Miller takes a three way approach to reveal the layers that make the Complex: 'Here, 'complex' might mean an architectural configuration, a psychological syndrome or a political apparatus. Kelley exploits these possibilities to test the institution of art as an ideological horizon, linking them to a dialectic between the sublime and the uncanny. This book follows corresponding lines of enquiry: first, by considering the work's production as an architectural representation; second, by examining it in terms of education and repression; third, by interrogating its implied conflation of conspiracy theory with institutional critique. (…) To do so is somewhat paradoxical because the piece is fundamentally incoherent.' (Educational Complex, p. 18)
My In the Museum trilogy depicts a museum walk by Christopher Walken that starts in an imaginary institution. In the second part, artworks become more animated and begin to form a red portal which Walken enters. While resting, he descends into a museal unconscious structure which will be featured in the upcoming third part. In the Museum muses on an unconscious museum located underground, in psychospherical proximity and interdependence to the 'real' museum. In a Jungian sense, it can signify the shadow partner of the physical institution; a shadow formation that includes inner workings, concerns, desires, repressions, substitute actions, uncanny aspects, hidden aspirations, wider contexts and implications of the institution above ground.
With these ideas of an institutional unconscious zone in mind, I was particularly looking for how Kelley and Miller would describe such psycho-zones. Miller: 'Kelley took special care to expose the CalArts sublevel by cutting a hole in he approximate centre of the platform and placing a mattress for viewers below it, likening the perspective to 'looking up a skirt'. Because the underground can represent the unconscious, this particular view inflects all the others.' (Educational Complex, p. 24). The halls of any institution are filled with minds and thoughts, adding strange life to the architectural shell. An institution is a container for social elements: 'Only through the production of social space can political economy materially produce and reproduce value. It cannot be done in the abstract. Schools engage in a form of knowledge production that is both material and abstract.' (Educational Complex, p. 31) Some of this constantly produced and reproduced 'value' must leave traces and a shadow institution could be the container of remainders, queer marks, hauntings.
Kelley gives an account of the eeriness, the twilight zones that an institution can produce: 'My father was … in charge of the maintenance for the entire public school system, so I was able to see the hidden underbellies of all the schools in the area. I was taken down into the boiler rooms, and into these kind of secret spaces; and then, on the weekends, when nobody was there, we'd go swimming in the high school pool. Exploring these public buildings when they were empty seemed a weird, creepy, secret thing to do, and I wanted to reclaim that sensation, and make it more sensuous. (Mike Kelley in Minor Histories, MIT Press 2004, pp. 332-33, in: Educational Complex, p. 51) Antony Vidler, in his 'The Architectural Uncanny', writes about these hauntings: 'The 'uncanny' is not a property of space itself nor can it be provoked by any particular spatial conformation; it is, in its aesthetic dimension, a representation of a mental state of projection that precisely elides the boundaries of the real and the unreal in order to provoke a disturbing ambiguity, a slippage between waking and dreaming. (Anthony Vidler in The Architectural Uncanny, p. 11, in: Educational Complex, p. 83) 'Value', the 'Social'; human interaction seems to produce side effects that brings the uncanny into being.
Kelley is clearly fascinated by the moments when the uncanny enters, as it has a special, subversive potential: 'This accords the uncanny a special, subversive power. Because it never permanently transforms reality, it remains always in potential. This allows it to be a constant yet always latent force. Kelley adopts it precisely for these qualities. Understanding the uncanny as a specific kind of meditation, Vidler invokes the words of Theodor Adorno: 'Estrangement from the world is the moment of art' (from Aesthetic Theory, 1984, p. 262, in: Educational Complex, p. 86)
A few passage on repression, history and democracy could have been more precise. With regards to liberal democracy, Miller writes: 'Introducing such intractable, conspirational elements may at first seem like a wild card, but the gesture nonetheless points to fundamental contradictions in the historical construction of liberal democracy. In this way, as a work based on vanished experience, Educational Complex maintains a significant yet precarious relationship to the central argument of Walter Benjamin's 'Über den Begriff der Geschichte' ('Theses on the Philosophy of History', 1940): that the unrealised aspirations of the repressed constitute a latent, yet real, historical force.' (Educational Complex, p. 105) and, 'In these narrations, while secret societies such as the Freemasons and the Illuminati initiate new modes of sociability and new concepts of emancipation, democracy is finally forged through the Jacobin Terror. (Educational Complex, p. 105) and: 'In this vein, historian Cornel Zwierlein further argues that since democracy claims to represent everyone but cannot, it revolves around a vacuum at the centre, especial compared to monarchies that embody power in a discrete, corporeal figure.' (Educational Complex, p. 106).
These last two passages left me slightly puzzled. Why Miller suddenly uses the very general term 'democracy', when he at other times focuses on the US context (with regards to student fees)? There are many different types of democracies in the world and to my view, Zwierlein's notion of democracy revolving around an empty centre crumbles when compared to the emptiness of monarchic male chauvinism – however 'corporeal' they may be. Also, when Miller mentions how 'democracy was forged through the Jacobin Terror', I wonder which system is not based on some form of violence. In these examples on democracy I missed the otherwise precise rendering of an argument. Democracy and monarchies can be uncanny in their swirling around an empty centre or uncanny in their gravitation towards the corporate and aristocratic elites present in both systems (again, the Finnish and US versions of democracy vary greatly).
Freud's notion of the uncanny is intrinsically connected to the homely (more evident in the German duo heimlich – unheimlich). Public and private institutions are perfect places where the uncanny finds a home and playground. Not just the architectural and mental spaces, the Educational Complex as such might be uncanny: despite the call for exploring their individualities, the students are supposed to go through an educational system without destabilising or disturbing the overall working of the institution. From this more detached perspective, the students are lifeless puppets mechanically moving (or softly being pushed) through the curriculum. 'In a curious parallel, many of Kaprow's post-happenings performances treat habitual behaviours as readymades. They likewise involved perversely automated going-through-the-motions.' (Educational Complex, p. 59) The school becomes an uncanny factory, a master puppeteer that winks bodies through (while collecting the student fees). Where, then, is the 'humanity' within an educational master body, education in general? 'Yet Mike Kelley, in one of his last essays, maintained that 'art (and that term would include the products of the critic) is still somehow invested in utopia' (in John Miller, The Ruin of Exchange, 2012, p. 10) This possibility continues to haunt the otherwise humdrum collection of buildings he assembled in model form for Educational Complex. (…) As far-fetched as this call might seem (particularly in a US context), it targets social inequality directly, especially education.' (Educational Complex, p. 106)
Miller, on the last page, makes two intriguing points. He dismisses the shown buildings in Educational Complex, yet he pays attention to a notion perhaps locatable in a fourth sublevel which Educational Complex hints at.
Miller simply reconsiders what Educational Complex appears to be: a grouping of educational buildings in white, presented on a table. What does it mean to go through these buildings, as a human subject? How does someone learn to think and reflect while passing through these buildings, these educational rites of passages? And who can go through a series of buildings, what economical background is required? From Kelley's personal educational curriculum, to the impersonal sculpture Educational Complex, Miller traces a story that ends in again personal, philosophical musings on the wider educational, and politico-economical system. Miller's book, ultimately, unravels these self-reflective germs within Educational Complex.
'(…) This question is germane to Educational Complex, not only because it is bound to the ambiguity between imaginary and real, but also because it entail steadily shifting models of subjective experience and continuously revised mappings of the unconscious. From this standpoint, not only subjectivity is at stake, but also the very framework for comprehending it. This forms its critical self-reflexivity.' (Educational Complex, p. 86)
'Educational Complex marks a turning point not only in Mike Kelley's oeuvre, but also in broader critical discourse, especially that of institutional critique. By considering education, Kelley mounted a self-reflexive investigation into how artworks are bound to present-day principles of social hierarchy. This relationship is keyed to political economy, reflected both in the decline of industrialisation and in the ascendancy of the information age. Here, education, artwork and economics combine to triangulate a version of postmodern subjectivity. With remarkable concision, Educational Complex engages these factors to overturn the presumptive relationship between individual and institution, pitting contemporary subject formation against the incalculability of sublime and uncanny experience.' (Educational Complex, pp. 93-94)

The "heartbreaking" pain and suffering endured by Christians in the Middle East is the subject of this speech by the Prince of Wales. The speech was given by Prince Charles yesterday (Tuesday 19 December) during a visit to St Barnabas Church of England Church in Pimlico, London. The Church hosts members of the Melkite Greek-Catholic Community and the visit enabled the Prince to meet families who have escaped persecution in the Middle East.
Your Excellency, Your Graces, Ladies and Gentlemen
I did just want to say that it gives me the greatest possible pleasure to be able to join you here this afternoon for this service of prayer with the Melkite Greek Catholic Community in London, along with their hosts from the Anglican Parish of St Barnabas and friends from other churches.
In this very special season for Christians everywhere, when we affirm our belief that Christ has come, and that He is present in the world today, it is, if I may say so, a particular privilege to be able to celebrate the coming of our Lord with a community which trace their origins to the very earliest Christian communities in the Holy Land. I had the great pleasure of meeting earlier this year His Excellency, Archbishop Darwish, the Melkite Archbishop of Zahle, Furzol and Bekka, who has honoured us all by travelling to London to be with us today; and was profoundly shocked to hear from him about just how much the Melkite community in Syria has suffered and endured.
It does seem to me that in our troubled times, when so many Christians in the Middle East face such desperate trials, there is at least some potential comfort to be found in remembering our connections to the earliest days of the Church. Indeed, as all of you know only too well, the Christmas story itself ends with the Holy Family fleeing for refuge from persecution; just as in 2017 large numbers of Christians, such as the families that I had the particular pleasure of meeting before this service, are being forced to leave their homes in the face of the most brutal persecution on account of their faith. Such barbaric persecution is even more perverse and dreadful when as many Christians seem unaware. The true spirit of reverence, which Muslims display towards Jesus and his mother Mary springs from the fountain head of their faith as described in the Koran.
As someone who, throughout my life, has tried, in whatever small way I can, to foster understanding between people of faith, and to build bridges between the great religions of the world, it is heartbreaking beyond words to see just how much pain and suffering is being endured by Christians, in this day and age, simply because of their faith. As Christians we remember, of course, how Our Lord called upon us to love our enemies and to pray for those who persecute. But for those confronted with such hatred and oppression, I can only begin to imagine how incredibly hard it must be to follow Christ's example.
It is so vitally important, in this season of Advent and throughout the year, that Christians in this country and elsewhere, who enjoy the rights of freedom of worship and freedom of expression, do not take those rights for granted; and that we remember, and do what we can to support, our fellow Christians for whom the denial of such rights has had such profound and painful consequences.
As we remember those Christians today, it is especially appropriate that we should gather to do so in this Church of England parish which has welcomed, in the most marvellous way, another Christian community to worship alongside it and to share this beautiful Church. It offers us all, if I may say so, a very special example of Christian love and humanity.
Ladies and Gentlemen, as Christmas approaches, I know that many of you, like me, will hold in your thoughts and special prayers all those Christians who are being persecuted on account of their faith. Perhaps we might also, together, commit to doing what each of us can to help ensure that those who are suffering have a brighter year ahead than the one that has passed, so that all of us might share in the blessing promised by the Angels of "peace on Earth and good will to all." I wish you and your families, both here and in your homelands, as peaceful and holy a Christmas as possible.

Regular readers of these reviews may be sick of hearing about my struggle to understand French composer Jean-Philippe Rameau's genius. All I can say in my defence is that I keep trying, and that there were moments in this concert performance when I noticed my foot surreptitiously tapping and my face gently smiling. I still have a long way to go, but perhaps the ice has broken.
The cause of this relenting was Les Indes galantes, more properly described as an opéra-ballet, as it consists of a hortatory prologue and four discrete episodes intended to be danced as much as sung, each set in a different exotic culture (an Indian isle, Peru, Persia, North America), where some footling romantic intrigue is taking place.
The tone of these tales, each of which lasts about half an hour, varies from the frankly comic to the nobly tragic: I think I prefer the former. Although I will never love Rameau's vocal lines (too much simpering, posturing and twittering) or warm to his porcelain characters, I was delighted on this occasion by his richly scored orchestral writing, which embraces the reedy French bagpipe or musette as well as a battery of drums and special effects illustrative of a tempest and volcanic eruption.
Thus coloured, the dances are charged with a wicked energy and panache which leads dainty politesse dangerously close to the cliff-edge of riotous orgy, and the show (for that is what it is) culminates in a thumping powwow, apparently based on a genuine Native American melody and milked in a finale worthy of Broadway razzmatazz.
At the Barbican, one had to imagine the spectacle: a fully staged production from Bordeaux, which had caused some upset on account of its flippant treatment of Islamic customs, had been left behind and only its musical elements imported.
Christophe Rousset has this music in his bones, and he conducted Les Talens Lyriques with just the right blend of precision, attack and elegance. Six young soloists, none outstanding but all gamely playing multiple roles, sang their meandering declamation and sinuous airs sweetly and correctly, but I was more impressed by Bordeaux's in-house chorus, which sounded like a crack team of baroque specialists. Yes, I quite enjoyed myself. But why were there so many empty seats? Normally these early operas are an instant sell-out.
No further performances

I just love the word perseverance. For a multitude of reasons really – from the way it rolls off my tongue when I say it, to the positive energy it emits, to the actual experience of persevering. Perseverance is just awesome sauce.
The Meaning Behind the Word
My only wish is that it was easier to spell, but that's where dictionary.com comes into play, and spell check – ha! According to the site, the definition of perseverance (per·se·ver·ance) is:
1. steady persistence in a course of action, a purpose, a state, etc., especially in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement.
2. Theology . continuance in a state of grace to the end, leading to eternal salvation.
Four Years and Two Months
Tonight I'm grateful for perseverance. It's not easy to keep picking yourself up, defeat after defeat. Or opening doors, when they're rapidly closing.
I've been searching for an answer for four years and two months, but who's counting? This girl. It's been a long four years and two months, and finally, today, it seems I likely found one.
While elated, I'm trying to not allow my hopes to climb too high. I've been here before, you see. Where I felt this close, or I thought that I was finished, and my quest for this answer was over.
Yet, it wasn't. It was never done; until perhaps today.
The Road Named Perseverance
For more than four years, I've been forced to keep this issue at the forefront of my existence. Tackling it, especially when I had no choice because of circumstance.
There were moments too when even though I knew it wasn't over, I had to relent, and place it on a shelf. Yet, it was never forgotten. So I'd take it down and resume the fight. This battle I fought, was one which few knew. Those near and dear cheered me on, others weren't the wiser.
With that, tonight, I sit hugging and loving perseverance. Even if this isn't it, I know an answer is near and, well, I did it. I persevered.
While the answer ironically brings obstacles of its own, somehow I know that I will endure. I will see it through. Yes, I will persevere. "It's hard to beat the person who never gives up." Couldn't have said it better myself babe; Babe Ruth, that is.
A Dash of Bravado
To persevere takes a sense of Bravado I think. That is, courage shown through a false sense of bravery.
One of my favorite songs by Rush called Bravado exemplifies this element. The trials and tribulations of needing to persevere, as I have, over a long period of time is no easy feat. Yet, I truly believe we all have it in us to do so.
I share below the lyrics to Rush's Bravado from their Roll the Bones Album. You can listen to it here on YouTube. I promise that you will not be disappointed. The lyricist of Rush, Neil Pert is unlike any other – his work is of another dimension.
This song is magical and it perfectly underscores this charmed feeling that I am blessed with tonight. Enjoy!
Bravado by Rush
If we burn our wings
Flying too close to the sun
If the moment of glory
Is over before it's begun
If the dream is won
Though everything is lost
We will pay the price,
But we will not count the cost
When the dust has cleared
And victory denied
A summit too lofty
River a little too wide
If we keep our pride
Though paradise is lost
We will pay the price,
But we will not count the cost
And if the music stops
There's only the sound of the rain
All the hope and glory,
All the sacrifice in vain
And if love remains
Though everything is lost
We will pay the price,
But we will not count the cost

My final review for the 2010/2011 school year is this gem of a book called Read for the Heart, written by a homeschooler-Sarah Clarkson, published by the favored Apologia.
I call this book a gem because it's filled with so much rare wisdom, it's been written with so much care by a young lady that loves the Lord and truly loves to read.
I didn't grow up homeschooled and frankly going to the library scares me a little bit. There's so much garbage in there, you really have to get dirty to find the books that are worth reading. This book takes the dirty work out of going to the library, she recommends hundreds of good quality literature that is non-offensive to most homeschoolers.
She begins the book explaining how her parents encouraged a love of reading in her own life, and encourages you to do the same with your children.
I especially love how she breaks the books down by categories, so if you are looking for a specific genre of book, you can go to that section and see her recommendations. I started out in the picture book section. I had a few of her recommendations, but several I had never heard of. So I went on my library website to see what I could find. You know what? I found all the books I was looking for!
We've had so much fun reading through these books.
I'm also encouraged because as my children have gotten older, it's been harder to figure out what to give them to read that stretches their brain a little but also engages them. Her book is full of suggestions for older children and boys in particular too. If there is a particular book she has recommended and the author has other books that she has read and approved of, she also includes those titles. It will take us a good long time to get through all the titles that she recommends.
Every homeschooler should have a book like this on their book shelf, especially if they are little clueless, like me, as to where the hidden jewels of literature are found.
Apologia sells the book for $17.00, you can also find it on Amazon for a little cheaper.
Highly Recommended!

>Happy Friday the 13th.
"Shag Stick" reminds me of the super ginormous dildo that I won in a raffle back in March. On Tuesday, I went to hang out with Super Des and arrived a bit early, so I went into Babeland to kill some time by ogling sex products. Turns out that the dildo I won sells for $114! Damn! Now I feel guilty that it just sits on my nightstand with googlie eyes, but it still scares the crap out of me.

My Grandfather's Recipe For Success
Grandfather was a farmer and a mechanic. His family immigrated to Canada from Scotland. The first wave of Scots came to Canada to be free of serfdom and to own land-farm land. They were a meat and potatoes lot. Many stayed on the East Coast of Canada becoming fishermen. My clan, McKinnon, is a common name in Canada's East, but my extended family continued West and settled in Alberta. Grandpa used to love telling me, "at your age, when I stepped out of that Westbound train, I could see for three days." A reference to the flat prairie land, big sky country. Then he would laugh and laugh (genuinely).
During and shortly after the two world wars, Canada knew shortage. My Grandfather stayed on the land, as farming was considered in Canada's national interest. The few men left behind worked ridiculously hard, planting and harvesting not only theirs, but many neighbours' acres. Wartime measures meant everybody worked, or our Country would lose its' fight.
Grandpa, and his community, took heavy oil mixed with sand (found abundantly in the Lloydminster area of Alberta). With the oil they built distillers-heavy oil upgrading 101-to produce gasoline and other by-products used in earlier farm equipment and tractors. They did this because gas was a scarce commodity, so they found a way to help. Years later, oil sands became a prominent mining concern in Canada.
As a boy I walked with Grandpa. He wanted to teach me about scarcity-things he learned from wartime. Food was a big issue for his generation, waste highly frowned upon. Learning to live off the land could sustain not only your life but that of your families. I often wonder-if Grandpa was alive and he visited the mega stores of present day, like Costco- how would he react?
I learned a lot from Gramps, about value and innovation. From our forest hikes, Grandpa and I roasted grasshoppers over a camp fire. He showed me which 'weeds' to pick for campfire soup. Now people don't believe me when I tell them this next part, but Grandpa and I collected rabbit poop for the soup. Let that sink in a bit.
You see rabbits are animals that chew their cud. Unlike ruminant animals-cows-they don't have divisions or multiple stomachs. You see, a rabbit on first pass excretes little balls of hi-energy, vegan wrapped enzymes. The rabbit, a few hours or days later, returns and eats round one, and on second pass thru the stomach it becomes poop. Rabbits eat their round one veggie balls and/or their neighbours. Rabbits are highly communal animals. Anyhow, with the aid of his trained eye, Grandpa and I collected and added these rabbit poops to our soup mix, one of the most enzyme rich foods known to man.
Honestly, I don't know if that type of information is at all an enhancement to my life. However, I am what I am, in all my glory. It serves to illustrate a lost ideal to millennials and subsequent generations. I was raised to believe in industry. Make something and trade with your neighbours. Work as a community, specifically with your hands, and you'll never go hungry. In fact, you will prosper. Own your farmed land (or other property). Produce energy or goods. That's the way I was raised and I live by it.
I remember Grandfather's hands. He had the strongest hands of any man I've known. Grandpa worked in freezing cold with his hands. He could repair almost anything (if he was predisposed). Although, I doubt he'd be much good repairing iPhones and the like, but you never know. Grandpa liked to tinker.
Today, I follow in my family tradition. I'm working hard in the business of luxury gemstones and precious metals. It is unlike anything I have ever done before and I'm loving every minute of it. Do you want to know more?

A day of industry champions
Day Two of Informa's Queensland Transport Infrastructure Summit provided a look at the Federal Government's role in freight and transport planning; developments towards integrated freight and intelligent transport; a look at where the money comes from and project updates from the airport, port and rail industries.
It was a day of industry champions, starting with the chair, Victor Gado, whose extensive experience in logistics and supply chain management both in the private and public sectors for retail, manufacturing, coal and construction provided a practical basis to his reflections throughout the day.
Victor's belief in the collaboration and increased awareness necessary to address the challenges ahead was also highlighted in the opening keynote provided by Lyn O'Connell Deputy Secretary, Department of Infrastructure and Transport
At a state-specific level, discussion can sometimes easily slip down the 'blame the Feds' slide and if politicians naturally blame everyone else, then Federal Government representatives can sometimes find themselves in open target range for questions on investment.
Lyn, whose responsibilities include Australia's investment in infrastructure through the Nation Building Program and advising Government on transport policy and regulation, provided a detailed talk on the Commonwealth's Infrastructure Investment Framework and stood her guard in fielding honest responses to the many audience questions.
With the announcement of the Gillard Government's Carbon Tax still hot off the press another brave woman, the Australian Greens Senator, Larissa Waters addressed the "historic" implications and benefits of the Carbon Tax within the broader context of sustainability. Larissa provided a behind-the-scenes review of the negotiation processes involved with agreeing on the package details, especially with respect to the exclusion of transport fuel and the 3 year fossil fuel excise review by the Productivity Commission
"While the Greens would have loved to see transport properly included in carbon pricing, and wanted to deliver big investments in high speed rail and commuter public transport through this package, we are pleased with progress on fossil fuel subsidies, fuel excise and efficiency standards."
It'll be interesting to watch this develop from negotiation to implementation and more importantly, to monitor the success of these initiatives against our carbon and economic footprints. To relieve concerns about the impact of the carbon scheme for the State, Senator Waters reassured the audience that the Queensland economy is still expected to grow by 300% by 2050.
Larissa Waters is the first Australian Greens Senator for Queensland and as a Brisbane resident, her passions and concerns were both local and global. This was a great industry introduction to Larissa who announced that in the Senate she will move amendments to federal laws to better protect the Great Barrier Reef , promote renewable energy, and protect good quality agricultural land from incompatible land uses
Following on from the Greens' plans for putting Australia on the road to cleaner transport, Accenture Australia's Sim Howe Chai, Director, Infrastructure & Transportation Services Industry, discussed the Intelligent Infrastructure Business Platform . This platform details a plan that's sustainable and attractive to citizens and businesses. Download the video transcript here
Talk about investment, sustainability and business platforms was aptly contextualized by the scale and necessary planning provided by briefs from Neil Findlay, Chairman, Queensland Transport and Logistics Council (QTLC); Alan Copeland, Senior Commodity Analyst, Bureau of Resources and Energy Economics and the Queensland Treasury Corporation's, Rupert Haywood. Here's just one figure to show you the money! As of April 2011, the value of coal projects under construction in Queensland was AUD$173.5bn. For the latest economic analysis visit the newly created BREE site . The Bureau of Resources and Energy Economics is an economic research unit within the Australian Government Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism.
Given the scale of infrastructure tasks and the necessary resources, coupled by the population influx and urban development, Queensland Transport Logistics Council has the vital task of integrating freight in this state of growth.
The second part of the part focussed on specific project updates with spotlights on:
It was refreshing to end such a 'big picture' day with John McMahon's story of the developments for the Summerdowns Rail Terminal. John has been a Real Estate and Stock & Station agent since 1980 and started John McMahon Realty itself in 1992. John comes from a family background in Primary Production activities, Real Estate and Stock & Station Agencies. His family have been in the northern rivers area since the early 1900's and through five generations of experience, has come to hold a high level of local knowledge of all aspects of the community and built strong networks during this process.
John has seen many changes in the local area, in particular, witnessing the decline of multi modal freight utilisation. Casino was previously a very active town with multiple freight modes available – road, rail, air and river. Through application of knowledge and network, John has seen opportunity now for alternate freight methods to be revitalised and purchased the property known as "Summerdowns" in 1994 with the vision of establishing a multi-modal freight terminal.
Finally, we'd like to again thank everyone for their support. AUD$1400 was raised from the early bird registrations for the Queensland Premier's Flood Relief Appeal The Premier's Disaster Relief Appeal has helped Queenslanders affected by flooding in early 2011 and Tropical Cyclone Yasi and the appeal remains open until 31 December 2011.
Look forward to seeing you at next year's event!

Doctor's in Montreal will be able to prescribe free museum visits to patients suffering from a range of illnesses. Patients suffering from depression to diabetes or chronic illnesses will be given up to 50 free visit passes for patients and caregivers.
In the 21st century, culture will be what physical activity was for health in the 20th century," predicts Nathalie Bondil, Montreal Museum of Fine Arts director general, in the Montreal Gazette.
The Art Hive, an initiative from the museum, is just one example of what Bondil says is one part of the future of health care. With an on staff art therapist and the collaboration of physicians The Hive is open to people who want to explore the curative effects of art, whether it be creation or simply its presence.
"There's more and more scientific proof that art therapy is good for your physical health. It increases our level of cortisol and our level of serotonin. We secrete hormones when we visit a museum and these hormones are responsible for our well-being."
Much like exercise, art can improve wellness for all types and ages of patients.

Why it's hot:
It's great to see doctors collaborating with other fields to find solutions for health issues that are beyond prescriptions.

Avemar: An Important Natural Cancer Therapy That You Should Know About.
It is absolutely astonishing that one out of three people will experience some form of cancer in their lifetimes. Cancer has officially overtaken heart disease as the number one killer in the United States with the statistics getting worse every day. It is estimated by the American Cancer Society that this year alone in the United States there will be 1,372,910 new cancer cases and 570,260 cancer deaths. The traditional treatments are chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery while anything natural has been largely overlooked by the mainstream oncology community. The reasons given are that the results from natural treatments are largely anecdotal or based on hearsay with little or no significant research or testing to back up the claims.
It is my belief that finally a natural treatment has come to light that shows great promise and has the potential to become an integral part of mainstream cancer treatment. The product is called Avemar and unlike other natural cancer treatments this one has the backing of a significant amount of research in the labratory, on test animals and human cancer patients. The way that I found out about this treatment was by reading about it in Dr. David Williams' health newsletter called "Alternatives" (Volume 11, No. 3). I am very fond of the newsletter and Dr. Williams' health discoveries and recommend that you read it also. Just for the record, I receive no financial compensation from Dr. Williams. I just think his health research is interesting and always informative. At the end of this article I will give his website if you are interested in his material.
I had just written an article reviewing Dr. Williams' report on sardines being a food powerhouse when I saw his very important report on Avemar and felt that FitnessSource1.com readers should be aware of this cancer treatment. You probably haven't heard about it yet because it is new to the United States, however it is a sure bet that you will hear more about it in the coming months.
The story begins with the late Hungarian biochemist Albert Szent-Györgyi who was awarded the 1937 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine. He is also noted for describing the process of cellular metabolism in what is now referred to as the Krebs cycle. After serving in WWI from 1914 to 1916 as a Hungarian medic, Györgyi became interested in cancer research. Sadly losing both his wife and daughter to the disease he was now intent on finding a cure. Györgyi developed his own theories on cancer and as early as 1941 he was exploring the role of unpaired electrons (now referred to as free radicals) and their link to cancer.
Györgyi emigrated to the U.S. after WWII and continued his cancer research. He came up with a theory that certain naturally occuring compounds called quinones (along with similar compounds) could help to control the proper metabolism in cells. Györgyi found that wheat germ was a powerful source for these quinone compounds and he felt that they could be concentrated further through fermentation with baker's yeast. His early experiments showed promise and his theories about quinones found in wheat germ and their cancer fighting properties appeared to be correct. However, because Györgyi refused to accept government funding and the politics that came with it, his work suffered from lack of financial backing and was largely overlooked. He died in 1986 with his research unfinished.
Dr. Máté Hidvégi to the Rescue
With the fall of communism in Eastern Europe during the early 1990s, the field of scientific research was allowed to open up and Dr. Máté Hidvégi, also of Hungary, resumed and built upon Dr. Szent-Györgyi's work. It was Dr. Hidvégi who developed the first fermented wheat germ extract for human consumption. Being a devout Catholic Dr. Hidvégi named the early product Avemar in honor of Ave Maria ("Hail Mary" in Latin). Avemar was first launched as a dietary supplement in Hungary in Autumn 1998.
A significant amount of research on Avemar has been done with over 100 reports having been written for presentation or publication since 1996 and 16 peer-reviewed studies are currently accessible on Pub Med (a service of the National Library of Medicine). Probably because it was originally developed there, Hungary has shown the most acceptance with the full support of the Hungarian government and medical community. It has officially been classified there as "a medical nutrient for cancer patients" and has been successfully used for over six years.
How does Avemar Work?
What is interesting about Avemar is that it seems to work on several different levels or mechanisms simultaneously:
Avemar inhibits glucose metabolism in cancer cells.
Cancer cells need large amounts of glucose (sugar) in order to grow and proliferate. They use glucose at a rate of 10 to 50 times higher than that of healthy cells. Healthy cells use glucose mainly for energy whereas cancer cells use glucose for growth. When a person's glucose is diverted to cancer cells, fatigue sets in and the body begins to waste away. Avemar reduces glucose flow into cancer cells with the result being that the cancer cells begin to use the available glucose to produce substances that inhibit cell growth and cause the cancer cell to die (apoptosis). Cancer patients experience a normalizing of their metalbolism so that they generally feel better, have less fatigue, pain, depression and an increased appetite resulting in weight gain.
Avemar assists the immune system's ability to identify and destroy cancer cells.
Our bodies have specialized immune cells called natural killer cells (NK cells) that are on a constant mission to destroy any foreign or abnormal cells in our system. However, cancer cells can fool or mislead NK cells by masking their outer membrane with a substance that the NK cells recognize as normal. Avemar suppresses the release of the masking substance allowing NK cells to do their job of killing cancer cells.
Avemar is both a red and white blood cell enhancer.
Studies have shown Avemar increases the regeneration of the blood following radiation and chemotherapy. It seems to restore the bone marrow's ability to produce red and white blood cells. This is a great help to cancer patients receiving radiation and chemo treatments in that therapy-related side effects like nausea, fatigue, weight loss, etc. could be reduced.
Besides cancer, Avemar may help with Autoimmune diseases.
Although most of the research has focused on cancer, there are some studies in other areas. One animal study on lupus was so promising that a clinical study on human lupus patients is now underway. In another study the anti-inflammatory properties of Avemar were beneficial to rheumatoid arthritis patients who failed to respond to anti-inflammatory drugs and other medications.
Avemar has no toxicity or side effects.
A major problem with conventional therapies such as radiation and chemo are that they have a tendency to destroy normal healthy cells as well as cancer cells. Thus the attempt to kill the cancer cells often kills the patient as well. One of the great things about Avemar is that it does its magic without any toxicity or damage to normal cells plus no adverse side effects have been reported.
Avemar helps to stop cancer from spreading.
Dr. Williams points out a very important finding that is consistent in the Avemar studies. It seems to be particularly effective at reducing metastasis or the spreading of the cancer to other sites in the body. This is probably due to Avemar's ability to strengthen the immune system which has a direct influence on cancer metastasis.
The following are frequently asked questions about Avemar:
Can Avemar Be Used By Itself?
It has been recommended by the manufacturer that Avemar is best used along with conventional cancer therapies such as radiation, chemo, and surgery. In practically all of the studies it has been used in conjunction with these other standard cancer therapies and its role has been to enhance their effects. The jury is still out on whether Avemar is effective if used by itself. Only further research will be able to answer this question. My personal feeling would be to play it safe and confer with your doctor about the use of Avemar. It's a good possibility that he doesn't even know about it yet but word is sure to spread quickly.
Could Avemar be used by otherwise healthy people in an effort to prevent cancer?
Although some animal experiments would suggest this, once again the jury is still out on this issue. Avemar appears to reduce the expression of faulty genes that can trigger cancer, but more research is needed. Dr. Williams feels that unless someone had a known high risk for developing cancer or was in danger of a reoccurence, preventative dietary and lifestyle habits would prove to be more cost-effective. I feel that this is something that should be discussed with a doctor who is familiar with Avemar.
Can someone just eat wheat germ and get the same results?
Unfortunately not. Although wheat germ is a nutritious food, the chemical properties of wheat germ's components are profoundly altered during the fermentation and production of Avemar making its chemical composition entirely different that that of wheat germ.
How does Avemar taste?
The one downside to Avemar is that it does not have a pleasant taste, probably due to the fermentation process. The manufacturer is working to improve the taste and has developed a new mild orange flavor – better but not great.
How can I find out more about Avemar?
Avemar is produced in Budapest, Hungary by Biromedicine. They have a very good website that has a lot of information at www.Avemar.com. I suggest to go here first (click the English speaking version at the website entrance). the product is being sold under the name Avé in the United States, but it is exactly the same. American Biosciences, Inc. is responsible for making Avemar available in the U.S. and their website is www.AvemarUSA.com. The site is quite sparse but they give a phone number to call for more information: 888-884-7770. Avé is also available through The Harmony Company at 800-422-5518. I tried searching Google (and other search engines) for Avemar and came up with other places to buy the product plus more information. The base price for a 30-day supply of Avé is $179.95 although some sources have lower prices.
I want to make it clear that my purpose for this article is to let everyone know that this seemingly safe and effective product exists. I have received no money or financial compensation for writing this article. I am not a doctor but just happen to think that if you know someone with cancer this could be of great benefit in their treatment therapy. Of course, I highly recommend consulting a doctor before taking this or any cancer therapy.…Read More »
