Song for the Prairie Sky (full score)
Song for the Prairie Sky (full score)
When I initially heard the folk song "He's Gone Away," I thought it would make a lovely counter-perspective if paired with the ubiquitous "Shenandoah." The result is a dramatic song that tells the story of two lovers separated, and singing to the same sky. To me, it almost feels like a musical-theatre ballad. I also incorporated "O Waly Waly" in the Bridge, and many of the traditional folk melodies have been modified dramatically in some phrases, so I don't believe this sounds like a "same old-same old" arrangement.

It may not feel like it but yesterday was the first day of autumn. To welcome fall (and some hopefully cooler weather) we read a poem and a story about how summer changes into fall and danced like falling leaves. We followed a bear on a hike over a mountain and marched along. Then we read and sang about my favorite part of fall, apples! We learned how an apple tree grows apples throughout the year and then pretended to be apple trees. Finally we watched a movie based on the book by Peter Brown which follows a bear explaining why Children Make Terrible Pets. Check out the list below of books, songs and rhymes.

Now be a wet dog
And shake, shake, shake
The Bear Went Over the Mountain
The bear went over the mountain, (marching in place)
The bear went over the mountain,
The bear went over the mountain,
To see what he could see.
And all that he could see, (hand up looking around)
And all that he could see,
Was the other side of the mountain, (marching in place)
The other side of the mountain,
The other side of the mountain,
Was all that he could see.
Apple Tree
This is the tree with leaves so green (wiggle fingers above head)
Here are the apples that hang in between (make fists)
When the wind blows (wave arms)
The apples will fall (arms down to floor)
Here is the basket to gather them all (make circle with arms)

Alien Stadium - Livin' In Elizabethan Times
Mini album collaboration by Steve Mason (The Beta Band) and Martin Duffy (Primal Scream/ Felt) promises a huge amount of experimentation crammed into 30 minutes of aural pleasure.
Alien Stadium – This One's For The Humans
U2 – Songs Of Experience
After the misfiring PR disaster that was Songs Of Innocence U2 slunk back to the recording studio with a veritable bevvy of producers (Steve Lillywhite and EIGHT others), and return with less of a fanfare for what is a more grownup companion album. There are somewhat unnecessary guest spots (Haim and Kendrick Lamar), get-down-with-the-kids forays into AutoTune and the obligatory stadium-oriented ballads but early reviews suggest that this is their best album in many years.
U2 - Get Out Of Your Own Way
New Order – NOMC15
A glorious double live album capturing the legendary Manchester band's two nights at Brixton Academy in November 2015 to promote the Music Complete release. There's no Peter Hook playing those riffs on this of course (though happily the former bassist has apparently settled with the others over their disputes), as this featured a newer lineup, but all the great songs are here, stirring up emotions sad and euphoric, accompanied by some fine sleeve artwork by Warren Jackson.
New Order - Ceremony (NOMC15 2017)
Vinyl Reissues:
Rush - A Farewell To Kings
The album that really introduced Rush to an international audience gets a very welcome 40th anniversary reissue. This being Rush there are no out-takes but you do get a remaster of the album featuring the Coleridge-inspired epic Xanadu and the blistering prog dynamics of Cygnus X-1 along with a new mix of a Hammersmith Odeon concert from 1978 and four newly-recorded cover versions by Dream Theater, Big Wreck, The Trews and Alain Johannes.
Rush - Xanadu
Wilco - A.M / Being There
Deluxe reissues of their first two albums. A.M. created a 21st century version of folk and roots music it later perfected on Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and The Whole Love - this version includes eight out-takes.The multi disc Being There builds on the original album with added rockers and ballads in the form of a shedload of unreleased songs and live performances.
Wilco - Sunken Treasure
The Rolling Stones – On Air
Terrific compilation of early blues and covers drawn from the many BBC sessions the band undertook in the sixties. This forms a nice counterpoint to last year's Lonesome & Blue album and these recordings sound brisk, raw and every bit as vital.
The Rolling Stones - Roll Over Beethoven (Saturday Club, 26th October 1963)
This week's selection is by Michael Moloney, aka llamalpaca from the vinyl-only record and design store, Chameleon, with additions by The Landlord.

All hands on deck in travel industry trying to cope with grounding of planes
CTV Atlantic
Published Thursday, March 14, 2019 10:42PM ADT
It's pretty much all hands on deck in the travel industry at the moment, as passengers scramble to make other arrangements following the grounding of the entire fleet of Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft.
The planes typically carry thousands of passengers a day, so the airlines are scrambling to swap planes and crews.
The grounding of the entire-fleet of jets has thrown a serious wrench into the travel plans of millions on this continent alone.
"What we're seeing this week is a serious domino effect," said Julia Kent of CAA Atlantic.
All of this is happening during the busy march break season in much of the country - including Nova Scotia and P.E.I.
Travel agents are scrambling to keep up as passengers look to verify plans and make sure their trips are still on.
Experts say those with travel insurance ought to be covered for any disruptions, and for now, airlines are absorbing the extra-costs.
Whether that'll translate into higher-fares down the road is less clear.
"Well that remains to be seen," said Kent. "You know, it's how quickly and efficiently can these companies, these airlines, adapt to what the government has forced them to do. We need to remember here this is a government mandated thing."
All of this more than a little difficult for teachers like Michael Wilson, leading a large group from New Germany Rural High School.
They've been fundraising for this trip for ages.
"It's been a big process, it's been a couple of years, and we have 51 people travelling, so definitely we wanted to make sure everything would go off without a hitch," Wilson said. "And, thankfully, right now, everything is good, and we're one of the lucky ones, so …"
Lucky, too, are the Conways, who did see one flight changed.
"Yep, the hours are all the same," says Ronald Conway. "She's still connecting in Toronto, and flying to Zurich, and no problem."
It's pretty clear the grounding of the planes is having an impact during this busy travel week, but that impact appears to be minimal at Halifax Stanfield International Airport, at least for now.
Still, experts are warning travelers to expect delays this week as the airlines scramble to deal with the situation, which in many ways has come at the worst possible time.

April Calendar Layout...
I'm in a SWAP where each participant has to make an 8x8 layout for a calendar. The month I chose is April. I didn't really want to do an Easter layout for a couple of reasons...1. I don't have any stamps large enough that would look right on such a large page 2. I tried coloring an image of a rabbit lying in a bed of flowers and let me tell you...it looked absolutely RIDICULOUS! 3. It's not a guarantee that the person receiving the calendar will use it next year and what if Easter isn't in April during the year they decide to use it for? AND... 4. I just wasn't feelin' it! So...after sitting here for a couple of hours looking at my stamps and supplies here's what I finally came up with...

Ask A Sommelier: Milk & Cookies
This month, we'd like to welcome Félix & Norton's youngest (ever) sommelier: Andy. We know that the children are our future, so we asked this youngin' to combine a classic: a freshly baked cookie and a cup of milk! Here's what this pint-sized expert had to say...
A soft cookie and a glass of milk. Just like a temper tantrum, this is one of life's greatest pleasures. This is a pairing that provides warmth and comfort, like my favourite blanket and the soother I'm too old to be using. Who wouldn't serve them together?
Milk Chocolate Chunk
Chunks of milk chocolate are smooth and satisfying, so a cool glass of 2% milk makes for a perfect pairing. This combination is innocent, just like me. The purity of the chocolate chips plays upon the softness of the milk with ease. It's just like my mommy always says: keep it simple, silly!
Dark Chocolate Chunk
When you hand me a glass of chocolate milk, make sure it's paired with a Dark Chocolate Chunk. Chocolate-on-chocolate might seem unknown and scary, like a thunderstorm before bed. But, daddy always says that thunderstorms are nothing to be scared about - so let's be brave and enjoy this combination.
Ebony & Ivory
I don't have a job, but I do know that an Ebony & Ivory cookie is rich with flavour. Strong dark chocolate dough and smooth white chocolate - this cookie needs something soft and sweet. My older sister Olivia loves almond milk, so I stole a glass of hers for a nutty complement to this powerful cookie.
Menage À Trois
Sharing is caring, and people are always inspired to be generous around me. If not, they know I'll start wailing! A Menage À Trois is a distinct collection of every delicious flavour happening all at once. Let's go with the unexpected for this one: a glass of strawberry milk. It's sweet, elegant and mommy says I'm only allowed one glass. It's worth it.
After a long day at kindergarten, on the monkey bars, or in the sandbox, sometimes you need to treat yourself. Milk and cookies are an anytime snack for young and old. Try this combination any time that your mommy, daddy, or teacher say it's okay!

Myself, my close friends, my most beloved teachers—so many of the people I've talked with and listened to describe a constant inner dialogue centered around enough. We do it so much that we don't even realize how often it crosses our minds.
Think for a moment—how many times have you thought about not having enough so far today?
Not enough sleep.
Not enough clothes to wear.
Not enough downtime over the weekend.
Not enough food in the house for lunch or dinner today.
Not enough love from your partner.
Not enough.
Think about how much energy we expend on a daily basis working toward getting enough. Not only is enough on our minds, but it's motivating the actions we take as well.
We work so that we'll have enough money to [buy the clothes, the food, the leisure activities]. We interact with people in a certain way so that we think we're worth their time—so that we're enough and worthy of their approval.
As long as enough is motivating our actions then we are letting ourselves believe the lie that we need more than what we have and we will never have enough.
When enough is taking over my thoughts I think about how I like to work with the universe. I like to go toward what's unknown, I like to choose without fear of what's around the corner, I like to trust my inner voice instead of the voice of the people around me. I like to work this way because every time I have I've been reminded that the universe always meets you where your at. When you act from love you're given what you need.
At it's very heart, what those actions I described above do is encourage you to nurture what you already have. When you've gambled your last dollar all you're left with is the clothes on your back and the gumption you have inside you. You're left with nothing more than what you have, and so you reach down inside and make something with that.
You have enough inside of you to make it to the next step.
But it's not every day that your taking that kind of chance. So instead, you rely on what's around you and because you're human and this is what we do, you again convince yourself that you aren't enough.
This week, see if you can nurture what it is you already have. Challenge yourself to reduce the amount of energy you spend on trying to get more and instead expand the reality of what it is that's already yours.
This week I shine light on my need to have enough.
I nurture what I have
and use my energy not to grow, but to give.
Give love to my minutes,
give life to my surroundings,
and give love to my neighbors.
Have a happy & healthy week.

Recently the Citizens for Tax Justice (CTJ), or, as I like to refer to them as, Citizens for Tax INJUSTICE, conducted a study of 288 Fortune 500 companies and stated that 26 of them paid no federal income tax in a 5-year period. Reuters jumped on this and stated, "Many of the most profitable U.S. corporations paid little or no federal income tax from 2008 to 2012, according to a five-year study issued . . . by a . . . tax activist group." To Reuters credit, they did mention the fact that several of the companies singled out disputed the CTJ study. The spokesman for General Electric stated that the CTJ "inaccurately uses the current tax provision—a book accounting number—to make definitive statements about our U.S. income taxes. This is not the same as the cash income tax that we pay for a given year." According to the spokesman, "For each year cited by [CTJ], GE paid income taxes in the U.S., as well as billions in other state, local and federal taxes in the U.S."
Ignoring the fact that the CTJ's study may be flawed, as indicated by the GE example, this study is being used by the CTJ, at least several large media organizations, and some politicians, arguing that many U.S. corporations are not paying their fair share of taxes. In 2007, one of Candidate Hilary Clinton's proposals included a "strategic energy fund" which would be funded "by taking away the tax break for the oil companies." At least one Democratic Senator is on the record stating, "It's time for the big corporations to pay their fair share [of income taxes]."
Before proceeding to the real fraud perpetrated on the public, it is easy to dispute the broad conclusions reached by these individuals and groups. When these socialists state that many of the most profitable corporations paid little to no federal income taxes, this seems to suggest that at least most of the Fortune 500 companies fall into this category. The CTJ study singled-out 26 companies, which represents about 5% of the Fortune 500 or 9% of the 288 companies studied. To be considered many or most, I would suggest that the typical person might envision at least 80%-to-90% fall into this category, not less than 10%. In addition, we also know that at least one company (General Electric) should be removed from the 26 companies singled-out, further reducing many, to a few.
And, in spite of what many politicians have said, the major oil companies (e.g., ExxonMobil and Chevron) do not receive any additional tax breaks greater than most other businesses; and, they pay more income taxes than most other corporations.
The real fraud perpetrated on the public is that Americans are led to believe that corporations actually pay income taxes in the first place. Think about it, how can property or an inanimate object pay taxes?
In the February 22, 2014 issue of The Economist, far from a conservative or libertarian magazine, they stated: "The big question is whether it makes sense to tax corporate profits at all. A company is a legal entity; if it is taxed, it must pass it on." Corporations do not pay taxes, only individuals pay taxes. When a corporation is taxed, either: (1) the stockholders absorb the tax, through a reduction of dividends and/or company value; (2) employees are penalized, by cancelling raises or bonuses and not hiring new workers; and/or (3) customers pay the tax through an increase in the cost of the products or services purchased from the corporation. Contrary to what we hear from the media, academia, and the politicians, it is the middle-class and poor that suffer from taxes imposed upon corporate profits.
The Economist has even taken the position that "the rich world needs to cut red tape to encourage business." The cost of government regulationrepresents another tax or fee ultimately absorbed by the middle-class and poor. The regulatory and tax environment that exists today keeps the middle-class and poor from being able to start new businesses; they are unable to compete with the entrenched large corporations who have huge armies of attorneys and accountants, which are necessary in today's over-regulated and over-taxed environment.
Only consumers, workers, and investors pay taxes, not corporations. The corporate income tax and regulatory environment is a hidden stealth tax that negatively impacts poor and middle-class Americans.
If enough people begin to understand this fraud, the politicians expounding these types of untruths, whether they are outright lying or just plain ignorant, may be voted out of office.
Dum spiro, spero—While I breathe I hope.
-Robert G. Beard, Jr., J.D., LL.M., C.P.A.

The good old 90s. When video games meant game parlours and slot machines, when Sachin Tendulkar was a debutante, and after-hour specials meant two hours of cartoons right after school. Also known as the golden time for cartoons, all thanks to the Cartoon Network and Hannah Barbera productions, the 1990s was a time full of nostalgia and magic. Relive your childhood here with this list of top 90s cartoons from the 90s. We care for you, and that is why we have compiled this tribute to the golden age of Cartoons. Cheers.

What can I say about this one? Three crazy guys doing what they do best: nothing. With close to nothing productive to do, the three friends Ed, Edd and Eddy roam around their hometown in search of some fun and ways to attract the girls. I agree the episodes of this series were a little haphazard, but this cartoon could ease your mind like none else. Watch these three friends wreck everything in their path and still bring joy to your sad heart.

A US drone strike attacked northern Yemen today, killing at least six people. None of the victims were identified, but all the dead were dubbed "suspected al-Qaeda militants" by Yemeni officials.
The attack destroyed a pair of cars in the al-Mahashma area of al-Jawf, and officials said they assumed they were carrying al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) members, though al-Jawf is a predominantly Shi'ite region and the AQAP is almost exclusively active in the southern portion of the country.
Though the level of outrage is still minor compared to Pakistan, drone strikes in Yemen are increasingly controversial, with locals in the targeted areas saying they feel the attacks are killing random people and that they are drumming up more support for AQAP.
Yemeni ruler Maj. Gen. Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi has repeatedly endorsed the drone strikes, and his aides have claimed "9/11" obliges Yemen to allow US attacks, even though AQAP didn't even exist at the time.
Hadi came to power in a US-backed election last year, an election notable primarily in that he was the only candidate and "no" votes weren't allowed. Despite every vote necessarily being in favor of Hadi, he only managed to carry 99.8% of the ballots cast.

Snapshots from the Grand Canyon/
So, this is about as adventurous as I've ever gotten! Hiking the trails along the rim of the Grand Canyon was a bucket list moment this summer. As for photos, this is about all I've got - I didn't take many - because the Grand Canyon can't be captured in all of its grandeur in photos alone. I stopped taking pictures after a while because each turn shed light onto a new view, angles of light, and the crevices of a dramatic rock formation. Geologically, this is about as close as we get to the Earth's basement - so it was wondrous to look DOWN and imagine all the billions of years it took to carve this natural treasure. I'll make this a quick post - because talking about rocks can be repetitive - but I wanted to focus on two things:
a. The Grand Canyon changes colors depending on angle of the sun.
b. The hiking shoes I used, Keen, were fantastic. So I wanted to sing their praises as a phenomenal hiking shoe (this is not a sponsored post, by the way!)
changing colors
The Grand Canyon was preserved thanks to the [eons-before-his-time] conservationist policies of Theodore Roosevelt. It truly is a natural marvel. We hiked mostly in the afternoon hours, at peak temperatures, so stopping for shade every once in a while was a must. When we did stop, we opted for good views (duh) so we sat along the rim...not always a good idea to sit too close. I slipped at one point and got a NASTY bruise on my thigh!* But when we did look out into the endless, cavernous gorge, we noticed that at some moments, the rocks seemed redder than they had been before. It felt stupid to say it out loud. Then, after a few more hours went by, we noticed the rocks had a green/blue tint - just a slight change from before. I found this article that sort of affirms what I'm saying here - I think that it truly is a phenomenon seen by the eyes only, not the lens of a camera.
keen: a lifesaver for your hiking feet!
The Keen hiking boots I wore to the Grand Canyon were so great - when I took my shoes and socks off that day, the first thing I noticed was how dry and refreshed my feet felt. That might sound weird - but I think my choice in running socks paired with the Keen Oakridge Mid Waterproof Hiking Boot was probably the best choice I made when I started shopping for hiking gear. There are few things worse then horribly aching feet after a day of walking, but these boots completely protected and supported my feet! I'd highly recommend - and they're well made. Not sure if they're the most fashionable - but if you're a serious hiker, or want to be, chances are you prioritize comfort over aesthetics. Yes, they're bulky. Yes, they're an investment (at $125). But those boots got me through the Grand Canyon! Now, I did slip*, but it was not the fault of the shoes - it was a mixture of bad judgment plus a slippery Cococino sandstone. The rocks at the canyon, especially the off-white sandstone, are actually very slick - not wet, but just slippery - so don't venture out too far on those ledges. Yes, people do fall every year...and it's terrifying to think about!

It is necessary to tailor the speech to the audience, a speech that appropriate deliver little content that is worthwhile for the audience. And as formal employment goes out of the window, more and more people will or alternatively video yourself and review for improvements. On the other hand, some cultures value authoritative speakers in whatever field you are discussing, you can hook them immediately and really get them thinking. Research and outline your text by breaking it down into of the what the audience's attitudes, values and beliefs.
It was such a person whom Shakespeare ridiculed when, in "The Merchant of Venice," he herself no teacher or coach , then there is a good chance that this first experience is not going to go very well. http://elizabethmasoncafe.rbilow.com/2016/07/29/putting-a-persons-brain-on-a-matchstick-and-rolling-a-bb-down-a-four-lane-highway-are-both-ludicrous-juxtapositionsWhen it comes to it, there are really three good ways to give your speeches a breath of life, and they actually have nothing to are wrought with failures, though, the self-confidence will diminish. You can do the same thing to make fun of your competitors well known the speaker the shorter the introduction needs to be. Asking questions and active listening In conversation listening is the most important part of hear you and unambiguously state your message so that the audience understands what you want to say.
Proper Preparation and Presentation Necessary Master the subject you point out that you are privileged to introduce today's speaker. There are tried and tested techniques and steps your audience and lend yourself plenty of starting credibility. A public speaking course will help you realize your knowledge your public speaking will be more confident and effective. They need to understand the fact that the audience may have human look-alikes who, you, by your scintillating words and ideas can manage successfully to animate.

Intellectual Property (Unjustified Threats) Bill
A collection of documents related to the Intellectual Property (Unjustified Threats) Act 2017.
The Intellectual Property (Unjustified Threats) Act received Royal Assent on 27 April 2017.
The aim of the Act is to make life easier for businesses and entrepreneurs. It does this by
- clarifying the type of communications which are permitted between parties involved in a dispute over IP infringement
- preventing the misuse of threats to intimidate or gain an unfair advantage in circumstances where no infringement of an IP right has actually occurred
- providing a clear framework within which businesses and their professional advisors can operate to resolve disputes, including attempting to negotiate a settlement before turning to litigation
In 2012 the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) and the Intellectual Property Office (IPO) asked the Law Commission to review the existing threats provisions within patent, trade mark and design law. The Law Commission published a Consultation Paper in 2013 and responses showed strong support for retaining protection against unjustified threats and overall support for reform of the existing law.
The consultation exercise was followed by a Law Commission Report in April 2014 which summarised the responses received and made 18 recommendations for reform. The government responded on 26 February 2015, accepting the recommendations (in a few cases with some qualifications), and tasked the Law Commission with drafting a bill. This was published along with the Law Commission final report on 12 October 2015. The government then conducted a public consultation on the draft bill during late 2015, and published its response to that consultation on 28 January 2016.
The Bill was introduced into the House of Lords on 19 May 2016, and followed the special Parliamentary procedure for Bills which implement Law Commission recommendations. Debates on all stages of the Act's passage, and related documents, can be found on the Act's Parliament page.
Entry into force
The Intellectual Property (Unjustified Threats) Act 2017 was given Royal Assent on 27 April 2017. It is now an Act of law. A Commencement Order is required to be made for the Act's measures to be brought into force. New laws which affect business are typically commenced on a Common Commencement Date (CCD). The next CCD is 1 October 2017.

Explore Mode is a mini-game located in every Kingdom. The battles consist mostly of Troops that are part of the Kingdom's Quest line and Challenges. The rewards include an increased chance of getting a rarer Traitstone than other types of battles.
To Explore in a Kingdom, that Kingdom must be unlocked and the main quest line must be completed. Class Quests do not need to be completed to start Explore for that Kingdom. After that, Explore can be accessed from the Kingdom's main menu.
The Traitstones that can be earned are all Traitstones matching the Arcane Traitstone shown in the image on the Explore button.
For Example, in Broken Spire you can find:
Minor, Major and Runic Earth and Water Traitstones as well as Arcane Shield Traitstones (Blue/Brown) and Celestial Traitstones.
There are increased chances to find the following:
- Runic Traitstones have a x2 chance
- Arcane Traitstones have a x3 chance
- Celestial Traitstones have a x3 chance
This article lists where to find specific rare Traitstones. Some can be found in multiple Kingdoms. Winning Explore battles on the highest difficulty will also earn Guild Seals.
Earning Arcane Traitstones
Like all games with collectable elements, from Magic The Gathering to Pokemon Go, there is a chance to get lucky when getting new things, and (unfortunately) a chance to get unlucky too. While it might be normal to get, say, 4 in 80 Arcane Traitstones from Explore, sometimes you will get 6, but other times you may get zero.
Explore mode is one of the two best ways to target specific Traitstones, besides the Soulforge. Alternatively, you can accumulate Glory - some Weekly Event Troops may come on offer in the Shop for Glory rewards where you can also obtain Arcane Traitstones.
- Use Troops that do damage to more than one enemy at a time to "farm" Traitstones and earn them quickly. This will help speed up Explore battles. You can also use Empowered Troops (Troops that start the battle with their Mana already filled)
- Some experienced players recommend using a team composition of: Sunbird, your Hero, Firebomb, Firebomb with the Abyssal Banner.
- Turn your animation speed up to 4x in the settings for even faster battles
- Consider leaving the difficulty on Normal to make battles faster
- Explore is also a great place to find Treasure Gnomes!
- You can also earn Champion XP by quickly completing Explore battles with your Hero in your team.

Oak Park is losing its architectural integrity
Opinion: Columns
My three siblings and I were born and raised in Oak Park. I was extremely thankful to have the experience of growing up in such a historic neighborhood. Our family lived in the Charles Roberts House on North Euclid. It was designed by Daniel Burnham and John Root, whose fame and accomplishments in the world of architecture preceded Frank Lloyd Wright (who redesigned the interior of our house years later) and the work of the other hundred architects whose works are distributed throughout Oak Park.
Even at a very young age, I really appreciated the architecture of so many houses and businesses that surrounded us. My mother, Elizabeth Lowry, and my grandmother, Helen Cannon, were well known and highly respected individuals in this village in their lifetimes [owners of Cannon's Book Store]. Both of them absolutely loved and appreciated the architecture of this quaint little village.
And they would turn in their graves if they saw what has happened to it in the past several years.
Very recently, I returned to Oak Park for a brief visit. While looking around the village, I sometimes felt I were in the Twilight Zone. I noticed historical landmarks were missing and ugly buildings had been built. Buildings with the architectural look of any common high-rise one has seen all across the country.
Oak Park isn't just any town. Oak Park has a historical legacy that warrants being treated with the respect the marvelous architects of the past earned for this village. Doesn't anybody understand that we shall never see the likes of these types of structure designs again?
I understand the need for progress, in terms of building structures to accommodate a growing population, but to raze landmarks in the name of progress is just this side of criminal. And the skyscrapers there now are atrocious. It wouldn't have been that difficult to hire an architect who would design a building to match the charm of an already established, historical theme. Thematic unity should be required for a place like Oak Park.
The powers that be who OK'd these atrocities have no vision, no style, no soul, no brains. Oh, I forgot … they are devious. A developer will use phrases with hidden meanings to convince an unsuspecting public that what they are doing is good for the economy. It's been my experience that, after all is said and done, everyone's still fighting to make and keep a buck.
The argument that there is a need to tear down historical structures because they are, or were, "aging housing stock" is an out-and-out lie! I grew up in a house that's now well over 100 years old and is every much as integral as it ever was.
The developers will tell the people that it's in the public's best interest, but the name of this game is "greed," folks, plain and simple: "Let's tear down historical buildings so we can put up cheap-looking high-rises for a profit." I fully support the right of developers to make an income, but they don't have a right to make an income by destroying anything that stands in their way. That, by definition, is greed.
A big problem is that I believe younger adults have never been taught the value of not only tradition, but art itself. They don't realize this type of art will most likely never be seen or heard from again in the future. Which means Oak Park may be doomed to sink into that abyss where inspiration and tradition have been thoughtlessly thrown away these many years.
Is it too late to fix? I guess it's never too late, but it might take a miracle to get people to open their eyes.
Steven Mann grew up in Oak Park. After high school, he went on to a career as a film sound effects editor in Los Angeles. He now lives in Prescott, Arizona, where he is working on his fifth album. This fall he was named "Artist of the Week" on Big Venture Radio in England.

Guardian readers: 'Does not compute'
Martin Kettle writes about Dambisa Moyo on the pages of Comment is Free, in a piece that is broadly supportive of her position on ending aid payments. The CiF readers seem largely to be behind her too, with several calls made for trade deals rather than more handouts. You can almost sense the confusion - Moyo's message is what heartless rightwingers have been saying for years - the message of hateful Thatcher and moronic Reagan - but they find themselves not only unable to vent their fury because the message is being delivered by a young black woman, but also finding themselves finally having to admit that the hate figures on the right were, erm, right all along.
This is rather extraordinary, but I wonder if I might have put a spanner in the works by pointing out in my own comment that the default position of Guardian reader is that buying green beans from Africa is equivalent to murder - it's going to lead to global warming isn't it? We're meant to be buying only from our local farmers' market, no?
I can square this circle without a problem - buy the goddam string beans and help the poor Africans. Guardian readers on the other hand are going to have to reconcile their desire to open doors to African trade and to close them at the same time.

Granted, this post has nothing to do with doctrine or theology. But, it does have something to do with dads building fun things around the house with their crews… that explode! Dads should teach their children about God and His creation… AND have fun with them.
The kids and I finished building our first family rocket today. We all had lots of fun and it was actually pretty simple. Now that I know it works I'm going to let the kids paint and decorate their own rockets.
It shouldn't cost all that much if you have a few of the materials laying around the house. I followed the instructions from a youtube video I found the other day. If you are looking for a way to spend some time with your kidos and be able to teach them a little science in the process, this is a great idea.
I believe I only changed one element from the guy's video that I thought would make an improvement. Other than that, I did everything just as he did. I did have a few misfires and I haven't quite gotten the height he seems to be getting yet. I think it's all a matter of figuring out how much hair spray to put into the launcher. You need to have the right fuel to air ratio to get an ignition. Once you get that ratio figured out, you'll be good to go.
UPDATE: After some trial and error, I found a few ways to have less misfires. First, drill a small hole (the size of the screws or smaller) in the bottom of the launcher tube on the opposite side of the screws. This will allow a little air to mix with the fuel. Also before your first launch, find a way to heat the inside of the launcher tube. Spray some hair spray in the tube and use a long lighter at the top of the tube to cause a small explosion. The heated tube allows the hair spray to vaporize more easily.
You may be able to find some of this stuff, or at least good substitutes, laying around the house.
- Thin foam camping pad
- 2′ piece of 3″ PVC
- 3″ PVC cap
- Electric grill ignition (They had the manual one he uses in the video, but I got the electric one for the quick repeated firing.)
- Self tapping screws
- PVC cement and primer
- A 2 liter soda bottle
- Duct tape
- Can of aerosol hair spray

Dragons! Ecco has two dragons following her around on Xentras. The shadow dragon (Caligo) with leather wings and the light dragon (Lucis) with feather wings. I draw Cali more because I like seeing how the bones work in the wings. I also generally like him more in the story (as does Ecco). They both have a wyvern build, which I am still figuring out how to draw. Time to draw more animals! Also, some Chinese dragons are going to start showing up.

Hint: He invented the most universally recognized symbol.
Imagine the times when there were no traffic signals. In the dust of city traffic it was first come first serve. Many were injured and died in horse and buggy and then vehicle crashes and then into the auto age.
William Phelps Eno, the "Father of Traffic Safety", wanted to change the rhythm of traffic jams. Eno invented the stop sign in 1915 for Detroit in spite of never driving an automobile.

So on to the final part of this trilogy of posts concerning my BKC project. These final two forces were really supplementary to the main part of the project. The BEF force came about as we mentioned playing the early war at the club and I knew I could do a BEF force by simply using the same infantry I had already painted and swopping out the 6lb guns, armoured and air units. So that's exactly what I did(all miniatures are from Heroics & Ros, except the collapsed parachutes which are Adler):
These were done in no time at all, with a fairly basic(but effective) paintjob, add in the two infantry battalions I already have and its a reasonable sized force.
The British Airborne were another matter, I have this force in 20mm and wanted it to look the same so I used the same method for the camo smocks and helmets covers (khaki base coat, with tiny dabs of Luftwaffe camo green and German camo pale brown, finished with a mid tone wash). whilst time consuming I think it was worth while, as I didn't want them looking just like the regular infantry with red berets which is all to easy at this scale.

MH17: U.S. Points Finger at Russia, Russia Deflects Blame
President Barack Obama reiterated his demand that Russian President Vladimir Putin compel the rebels to clear the way for investigators to access the crash site, which remains chaotic four days after the jet was downed. Why do U.S. officials think Russia is blocking the investigation? WSJ's Jason Bellini has The Short Answer. Image: Getty
A GRIEF-STRICKEN Dutch man who lost his only child on Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 has sent a scathing letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying his life has been ruined.
Hans de Borst's daughter Elsemiek, 17, was killed along with her mother on the doomed plane when it was shot down over eastern Ukraine on Thursday.
"Mr Putin, Many thanks to the separatist leaders of Ukrainian Government for the murder of my dear and only child, Elsemiek," he wrote.
Mr de Borst went on to explain how the tragic incident had robbed his daughter of her bright future.
He said Elsemiek was a high-achieving student who was due to sit her final high school exams next year and planned to go on to study engineering at university.
"She was looking forward to it" he wrote. "I hope you are proud to have turned her young life upside down and that you can look in the mirror!"

He signed the letter "Elsemiek's father Hans de Borst, whose life is ruined!"
Elsemiek was on her way to a holiday in Malaysia with her brother, mother (Mr de Borst's ex-wife) and stepfather.
Two hundred and ninety-eight people perished in when MH17 was brought down, including 193 Dutch citizens.

The new generation is increasingly making healthy lifestyle choices, be it the working hours or daily schedules. Most of the working professionals and other people, who live a modern lifestyle, are also changing their eating habits. A good number of these people are becoming vegetarian, as it is considered one of the healthiest lifestyle choices. It reduces the risk of heart problems, obesity and a number of other ailments that plague the society today.
Though, there is a big misconception, a misunderstanding, that being vegan means, being malnourished in some way. This thinking is farthest from the truth. As, any other food choice, if you eat a balanced diet of vegetarian food, there is absolutely no protein or vitamin in your meals. This argument has been countered by a lot of people. To answer this, we looked at one such important supplement: Iron.
So the next question is: What Iron Supplement Vegans Take?
Firstly, we need to understand the importance and the role of the Iron in our body. It is the mineral that helps the red blood cells in carrying oxygen and other nutrients to every cell of our body, which makes it extremely critical for our system. It is true that vegans have lower stores of iron than omnivores. As lower stores of iron, doesn't actually means, iron deficiency, because it is still considered to be normal. In fact, due to these lower normal iron stores, vegans have a lower rate of cancer and heart diseases, as it improves insulin functions of our body.
Now that we have explained the role of iron and its advantages, we can go back to the original question. What Iron supplement should vegans take?
As we had discussed earlier, that eating a balanced meal is the key, let us start by identifying main sources of iron in vegan food items:
Another great source of iron is legumes. You can begin to increase your iron stores by ensuring the presence of lentils or soybeans in your food, additionally you can also rely upon tofu and lima beans.
Grains are one of the best sources of iron. You can add quinoa and fortified cereals to your meals. Having brown rice or a breakfast of oatmeal will also help in increasing iron stores in your body.
Seeds and nuts
Certain seeds and nuts have been a known source of iron for a long time. So, making pumpkin, pine, squash and sunflower a part of your regular meal will help as well. Similarly, dry fruits like cashews and pistachio are a rich source of iron and some of the other important proteins.
The most common and easily available sources for iron are vegetables, the main source of food for us. You can get a higher percentage of iron just by adding tomato sauce, Swiss chard or collard greens.
These are some of the most commonly available iron sources that you can eat to maintain a healthy level of iron in your body.

For more information about your horoscope be sure to schedule a psychic reading in person, by phone or skype for more clarity with Lisa and Heather.
Pisces Feb 19th – Mar 20th Hello Pisces! This week Spirit is asking you to listen to your inner voice. The answers you are looking for are available, but you are not recognizing them. Look for signs and confirmations all around you as everything has significance, and appreciation of this will lead to understanding. Be sure you don't ignore the message because you don't like it. You will increase your knowledge and wisdom by acknowledging the truth. Good news may be forthcoming at work in the form of a promotion, bonus, or other recognition due to your excellent work. If you are involved in a writing project, look for renewed energy and successful completion of the project. .
Aries Mar 21st – Apr 19th Hello Aries! This week Spirit is guiding you to look within to achieve a higher understanding of yourself. Hold yourself up to a personal mirror and look deep into the closed areas of your mind. This may bring to the surface your deepest fears of failure, abandonment and worthiness. None of us are perfect as we all have areas to improve and downsides. It is how we have allowed them to affect the paths to our goals that define our intentions. By going within our truest possibilities and highest good is also revealed. Look within and then open yourself to the healing power of spiritual energy and know that the work of self-change is progressing in your life. You may have questions for which there are no answers as of yet, or perhaps that will be situations that happen to which you have no knowledge. As hard as it may be, relinquish control and be willing to permit the Universe and Spirit to guide you.
Taurus Apr 20th – May 20th Hello Taurus! This week the Divine is telling you that you will find freedom and independence through releasing ideas or even yourself from those things that keep you stuck. If you are living in a closed world, Spirit is guiding you to open up more. Honor your roots and family, but do not get too tied to family or the past. In times of stress it is ok, turn to the family traditions that have become hallowed and which you find comforting. Consider exploring opportunities to become part of a group of like-minded individuals that make you feel safe and useful. This could help you avoid getting too dependent on family or stuck in the past.
Gemini May 21st – Jun 20th Hello Gemini! This week Spirit is guiding you to face the challenges in your life and not to fear them. Strengthen your determination and face your challenges with bravery and the understanding that they are just stepping stones along your path leading to your goals. You have it within yourself to turn adversity into opportunity. The Divine is indicating that change is definitely necessary. Initially this change may appear destructive, however its aftermath will be advantageous and productive. Look at this period of change and challenge as a way of drawing your attention to a recurrent pattern I your life that needs to be addressed in order for you to have positive progress in life.
Cancer Jun 21st – Jul 22nd Hello Cancer! This week there is a journey ahead for you. This may take the form of actual travel or it could be a journey of a more spiritual nature. Travel in the literal form will be safe, pleasant, and enjoyable. A journey taken for the soul will likely be taken to bring about some kind of healing. Whatever form of journey is taken, it will likely be successful and will lead to important changes in your life. A method by which you can achieve an objective or a goal should become evident, and you will be able to channel your energies more effectively for success.
Leo Jul 23rd – Aug 22nd Hello Leo! This week focus on tying up loose ends, completing jobs, and clearing out what no longer serves you, as a new phase or beginning is just around the corner. This clearing the way for something new may include the actual cleaning out of possessions and belongings in the home. So purge what you no longer need or want from those cupboards, closets, garages, attics, and basements. Spirit is guiding you to also take a look at the people in your life who pull you down, who use you for their own ends, or who may hinder your ability to make a fresh start and progress forward. It may be time to release your attachments to these people for they do not serve your higher good.
Virgo Aug 23rd- Sep 22nd Hello Virgo! This week new beginnings and new insights await you, most likely from letting go of the old patterns and ways that do not serve you anymore. In a sense, you may be coming into a new understanding of life and its meaning. Spirit is guiding you to look for ways in which you can use your new insights for the good of others. If you have been struggling with something either personal or professional, the Divine wants you to know that inspiration and enlightenment will be coning that will lead to success. This enlightenment will come with some sacrifice on your part.
Libra Sep 23rd – Oct 22nd Hello Libra! This week you may find yourself feeling restricted and facing great challenges and possible hardships. The Divine is guiding you to focus your thoughts and energies on the essentials of what you need, rather than desires and wants that are not essential. Hard work and dedication will help you weather this period of time. The feeling of great responsibility may, at times, become overwhelming, so Spirit is asking you to take the help that is being offered to you. Assistance could come from older relatives and friends who have stood by you through dark times. Draw upon your inner resources and strengths. Determination and self-reliance can lead to change, but Spirit is also saying that your luck will change for the better in the near future.
Scorpio Oct 23rd – Nov 21st Hello Scorpio! This week Spirit wants you to remember that you are part of a bigger plan and that right now you are where you need to be in order to learn what you need to learn. The wisdom of the universe is making itself known, and that you and what is for your highest good is being held in Divine protection. Trust in the universe and in yourself. This week rely on your instincts and intuition when making decisions. When facing any conflict, either new or ongoing, draw upon your inner strength to actively protect your emotional well-being. Protection in times of conflict may also come from an outside source such as a mentor or colleague.
Sagittarius Nov 22nd – Dec 21st Hello Sagittarius! This week the Divine is reminding you that you have choice in everything. No one can upset you, you can only choose to be upset. No one can exert power over you unless you choose to let them. Spirit wants you to claim your right to choice. Do not allow others to compromise your beliefs or prevent you from doing what you need to do. There may be a positive force of change coming revealing something that has been hidden or kept secret. You may be experiencing a sense of heightened psychic ability at this time. Know that this is your higher-self opening up to you and that you are safe, but seek guidance if you become overwhelmed. Perhaps consider taking a class, finding a mentor, or reading books related to psychic awareness.
Capricorn Dec. 22nd - Jan 19th Hello Capricorn! This week pay attention to the opportunities of development and growth that come in your way. The Divine is letting you know that some challenges might not be easy, but you are capable of growing through them and your prosperity, career goals and success can be achieved. It may be time to take a look at some project or idea you have abandoned, because with focused attention and directed energy you may find success. Spirit also wants you to ask yourself if are you doing whatever is good for your health. Maybe some specific habit change is really needed to experience health improvements in your life. Habit changes usually aren't easy, but often, that's the only challenge we have to accept to see our health returning and thriving.
Aquarius Jan 20th – Feb 18th Hello Aquarius! This week the Divine is telling you to pull on your ability to adapt to circumstances with sensitivity. You will need to go with the flow in most situations you encounter this week. Spirit is advising you to use your intuition, be aware and alert of your feelings, and to find ways of fulfilling your emotional needs. There is some indication that success and good fortune are on their way, but you will need to wait for others that are involved to make some decisions before moving forward. When this happens, you will need to get moving and make the best of the opportunities that are offered.

Nestled in the basement of the splendid Georgian building that is The Queensberry Hotel, the dimly lit Olive Tree restaurant is intimate and quietly glamorous. The décor here is sophisticated but simple, with clean white walls and wood flooring creating a classic, relaxing environment, and a touch of elegance from the dark wood and leather furnishings. The restaurant can afford to be simple, though, because here it's all about the food. Which is, in short, excellent.
In fact, the menu is award-winning. The Olive Tree has been awarded three rosettes by the AA, it's been listed as Bath Life magazine's Restaurant of the Year, and most recently was awarded Gold in the 2014 Taste of the West Awards Restaurant category. Then there's the wine list, which recently won The AA's England and Overall Wine Award 2014-15, among plenty of other recognition.
So, expectations were high when we entered the restaurant last week, but it was instantly clear that those awards have been justly given. Particularly when we glimpsed the mind-boggling wine menu, which is fantastically extensive and also very unique. Queensberry owner and drinks aficionado Laurence Beere created the wine list, working with six main suppliers to source unusual but top quality wines which fit in perfectly with the hotel's quirky atmosphere, but it was the unique layout of the menu that I really enjoyed. The staggering 25 page list has been laid out according to the characteristics of the wines, with headings like "Warm and Spicy" or "Nutty Whites with Intense Aromas" helping guests choose the perfect drink. Still though, choosing from such an enormous collection was tough, so we took a recommendation from restaurant manager Joss Rousanne, who picked out a sweet, juicy rose for us. I love my wine sweet, so the Moulin de Ronge Rose de Provence 2012 was the perfect choice for me, with floral and red berry notes and a juicy drinkability.
If we found it hard to choose from the drinks menu, the food was almost impossible. Head chef Chris Cleghorn – protégé of Michelin Star chefs Heston Blumenthal, Michael Caines and Adam Simmonds – has put together a sumptuous menu packed full of delicious, locally sourced and in-season ingredients from the finest West Country food producers. Creative dishes like quail with charred sweetcorn purée, mangetout and popcorn and crab lasagne mingle with more classic choices such as braised pork belly with dauphinoise potato, creating a stunning menu that had our mouths watering long before the food appeared.
Again unable to choose, I followed Joss' recommendations and started with the crab lasagne, an incredible looking dish with neat circles in striking orange and green, surrounded by a smooth and creamy bisque. Sam's choice, the rich and flavoursome duck liver, served poached and roasted with gooseberry, shimiji mushrooms and candied walnuts, was a work of art to look at and tasted incredible.
Our mains, both recommended by Joss, were two of the latest in-season dishes and were simply stunning. Sam's loin of venison, perfectly pink and tender, came with a sumptuous chestnut and blue cheese purée, fig and cavalo nero. My breast and leg of partridge, also perfectly cooked, was served with leek on a bed of creamy spelt, trompette mushrooms, wholegrain mustard and thyme and doused in a smooth, heavy sauce. It was rich, autumnal food that truly celebrated the best of British flavours, and built on those classic flavours with an unexpected twist.
It was great to see so many delicious local ingredients on the menu: the duck from Madgetts Farm at Chepstow, the partridge from shoots in the Midford Valley and Norton St Phillip, and even the vegetables grown at a family farm in Little Solsbury. Not only are the ingredients as fresh and as high quality as possible when sourced locally, but from a tourist's perspective it's great to be able to taste local flavours when staying in the area.
For dessert, always my favourite course, the menu was even more enticing, with a list of mouth-watering dishes like hot chocolate fondant and perfectly on-season blackberry parfait. Since Sam's choice, the soufflé, took longer to prepare, the kitchen served up a delicious pre-dessert while we waited, a glass of cream cheese, raspberry, and lemon. That little taster was fantastic enough, but then our desserts arrived and blew us away. Sam's Earl Grey Soufflé with spiced bread ice cream was rich and warming, although it was strange to taste the soufflé, which had the distinct taste of tea. Sam loved it, but the soufflé – forgive the pun – wasn't my cup of tea. Instead, I was in chocolate heaven, with a hazelnut and cardamom mouse- warming and spicy – wrapped in a crackly shell of chocolate "crunch", served with a heart-breakingly beautiful manjari chocolate sorbet.
Every dish was beautifully cooked, artistically presented and simply perfect, with delicious local flavours and brilliant twists on classic food. The Olive Tree aims to provide beautiful food for less than you'd think, and it really is just that; high-quality food for very reasonable prices. This is a fabulous complement to a stay in Bath, an understated but sophisticated space with a quirkily British menu and sumptuous food that celebrates the kind of indulgence that Bath is famed for.

Blogs of War
March 04, 2005
Soldiers are trying to make sure their version of the truth from Iraq gets out.
Even though for many, that truth doesn't include revealing their identities, their online diaries are becoming an increasingly popular way for anyone with an Internet connection to "listen in" on the war zone.
Blogs provide a vehicle for soldiers to speak their minds and tell their personal stories. But the information medium also poses new dangers that the Army is still trying to come to terms with.
Some soldiers have found that blogging can have great benefits, and others have discovered the hard way that there can be consequences for posting things their commanders don't approve of. Nonetheless, the number of soldiers who blog continues to grow.
Read more about the military blogosphere in the March 14 issue of Army Times.
Here are links to some of the most-read, military-related blogs:
• My War: Killing Time in Iraq
A site often credited with jump-starting the "MilBlog revolution." Colby Buzzell, who recently left the Army as a specialist, built a fan base that ranges from soccer moms and truck drivers to Jello Biafra, the leader of a punk band called The Dead Kennedys. His uncomplicated accounts of his time in Iraq continue to garner him attention as he works on a book due out in the fall. Esquire Magazine wrote of Buzzell's work: "The most extraordinary writing yet produced by a soldier of the Iraq war."

Sometimes it's good to know what your stuff is worth, and sometimes you wish you hadn't ask.
The Utah Antiques Dealers Association held a small flea market and antiques and antiquarian books appraisal event at the Sandy Historical Museum. Hundreds of inquisitive collectors brought their treasures to be appraised by 3 of Utah's foremost antiques and rare book experts.
It was a mixed bag of smiles and frowns, as Gary Thompson (Gary Thompson Antiques), Nate Bischoff (Bearcat Antiques & Appraisals) and Ken Sanders (Ken Sanders Rare Book), passed out the good and bad news for about 6 hours.
Appraisals were a bargain $3.00 per item, with all proceeds going to the Museum. This is an annual event, so keep an eye out next spring if you would like to get the scoop on your best stuff.
Along with the appraisals, the Association held a small flea market in the museum parking lot. Lots of folks came for appraisals, but couldn't resist adding a piece or two to their collections before they left.
Keep your eye out for information about future dates for this fun antiques event in the New Century Collector.
