Dazzle was a beautiful feral cat. When he was a small kitten he was brave enough to come towards me. I encouraged his trust and our relationship developed. His brother "Razzle" never did trust me. He also had two sisters, "Smokee" and "Zode." Smokee is still with us although she is recovering from a forehead injury. Dazzle and Razzle were trapped by an unknown neighbor along with about fifteen other beautiful cats. Zode disappeared earlier. I would hold Dazzle in my arms as I walked other cats on a leash that we kept in a cage. I couldn't contain Dazzle that way because he enjoyed his freedom so much; so he only survived a little over two years. I caught and placed into the cage another feral calico female cat and I miss seeing her beautify the surroundings as she would sit on the fence, lounge on the green grass or simply walk pass me. I enjoy the cats that are free more than the one's I've put in a cage to protect them. See the post on July 18th about "Wild Cats" for the full story.
One winter, a couple of years back, the cats would eat and then search for places to wash in the warm sunlight sitting on the fence or in the mulberry tree. When I brought out the camera they seemed to know it was picture time and they would get into a pose. Mohawkee, on the left, I put in the cage, but she's not happy in there with some other cats. Pawnee is still running free as far as I know and Razzle was one of the trapped cats and is gone. Cats are so smart if there is consistency around them.
Tappy and Footsy loved being with each other as kittens. Footsy disappeared, but I have Tappy in a cage. She seems very happy being protected from the rest of the world. The gray cats all seem to disappear quickly. He was a male; so probably went to find his own territory.
Daisy, we thought he was a she when he was a kitten because he was so beautiful, on top of Smokee. Sister Zodee looking interested about why Smokee is yelling, Dazzle appears concerned and Razzle looks disgusted. Daisy was the dominate male cat after his Father, Degas, left when he tired of the constant battles with other male cats. Daisy was a lover.
Daisy with another one of his lovers, Puddin. She was easy. Puddin was a great Mother cat and enjoyed raising kittens. She adored Dazzle, first picture above.
Set a course for the moon, Mr. Spock. Oh wait, I'm Mr. spock. I have the pointy ears.
Rolling waves of cats. Left is Zulu, which you will see more of later, she is a character.
Young feral cats huddling together on a cold winter's day. I already have two large cages with cats I'm trying to protect. The top two are gone, one from an injury and the other"Pintabo," disappeared. He also had vision problems. I brushed him every day because he didn't seem to be able to take care of his grooming. The solid gray on the left, "Taos" is now a healthy male cat, The orange is "Gila" is doing fine and "Grayco" just had 4 more kittens. We couldn't afford to fix all the cats, but we feed them and give them a safe place to live if they stay in the backyard. yeah sure!
Wild cat "Mohawkee" beautifying the unbeautiful. I couldn't let anything happen to her; so put her in the cage but she's not happy and I can't see her roaming free.
Degas's photo shoot and the last time I saw Degas,
Noc and Fem in the yin-yang position
A red-tailed hawk flying over our backyard, a possible reason why some wild cat kittens disappear.
Beautiful Chloe, left top, withstanding the cold winter winds, Right top, better times and below. being with obsidian and Rio, one of her daughters. Chloe got bit or was injured and I found her on the side of the house on her side. We brought her to the vet, but couldn't save her. I buried her where she was sitting next to the rose-bush, so many sad stories with wild cats.
Mother cat "Puddin" teaching her kitten "Razzle" about fake blue mice.
Actually the creations of 2 Mother Cats
limited seating on a snowy day
Jewel and Kasy, black and white cats. Why waste color on them?
Freddie and Degas, Orange cat Degas won.
The dominant cat sequence in our yard was Wooly Wooly- female, Mesita-female, Kasy-male, Degas-male, Daisy (Degas's son)-male, Splash-male, Doppler-male-presently in power.
"SOLO" and his Mother "QUOTES" and Aunt Smokee, last pic w/ Solo (the unloved gray cats find a home here).

54 - A Star Is Born
Welcome to Episode 54 of We Watched A Thing.
This week we're cracking out the instruments, losing ourselves to alcohol and record labels, and pissing our pants, all while discussing the 5th remake of classic 'A Star is Born', directed by Bradley Cooper.
Sidenote - When we recorded, we also forgot to plug that this week we're guesting on the incredible podcast The Countdown Movie and TV Reviews, going up against Paul and Wayne with our list of Top 10 Film Crimes. Be sure to check out their show at http://www.comicconpod.com/countdown/
A Star Is Born is a 2018 American musical romantic drama film produced and directed by Bradley Cooper (in his directorial debut) and written by Cooper, Eric Roth and Will Fetters. A remake of the 1937 film of the same name, it stars Cooper, Lady Gaga, Andrew Dice Clay, Dave Chappelle, and Sam Elliott, and follows a hard-drinking musician (Cooper) who discovers and falls in love with a young singer (Gaga). It marks the fourth remake of the original 1937 film (which was loosely based on the 1932 film What Price Hollywood?), after the 1954 musical, the 1976 rock musical, and the 2013 Bollywood romance film.


text: Staff Report Matt Berner walked three times and hit a home run as the Gardner Wildcats outslugged the visiting Athol Red Raiders, 15-7, at Stone Field Tuesday afternoon.

Birds are chirping, flowers are blooming, and coats are going back into storage. Spring is finally here and with it come feelings of rejuvenation, renewal and purpose. I'm excited to announce a new series that I'll be working on right here on the blog called "Healthy Home, Healthy Life". As the title suggests, each week, I'll be studying a different area of the home that can be modified or enhanced to provide a safe and holistic haven for you and your family. Before you roll up your sleeves to begin yet another year of spring cleaning, check out the blog to discover how you can take things one step further. The only way to really set yourself up for a wholly healthy life is to begin with a healthy home.
In the world of architecture, sustainable design has quickly become a standard. It is now commonly expected that a building will be designed to be as efficient as possible and make as little impact on the surrounding world as possible. Buildings today are even being designed to effectively filter the air around them, emitting cleaner and more purified air back into the environment than what they initially take in. As we've focused more and more on creating buildings that respond in ways of biomimicry, emulating the natural world that we're finally beginning to really appreciate and respect, it only seems logical that the next step would be to look at how these buildings are affecting our own bodies and lifestyles.
I've decided to really dive into this area of the design world so I can learn more about what decisions we are able to make while designing our homes and workspaces so that we can provide an atmosphere that is not only beautiful and efficient, but also conducive to a healthy and well-balanced lifestyle. As a community, we put so much energy into making sure we eat organic, exercise regularly and get our 8-hours of sleep each night (okay fine, but at least 6 or 7), yet when it comes to selecting carpeting for our bedrooms, or furnishings for our children's nurseries, it is not as common to take the time to learn what potentially harmful substances we are bringing into our homes without ever realizing it.
The EPA has released studies showing that indoor environments are typically two to five times more toxic than the exterior environment. In spite of that statistic, 90% of our time is spent indoors. Fortunately, there are things that can be done to mitigate the health risks in your home and I am taking on the challenge of diving into these topics more deeply and sharing what I learn with you along the way. Here's a look at just some of the topics you can expect to see covered in the coming weeks:
-Reducing indoor pollution levels
-What are VOCs?
-Lighting and Seasonal Affective Disorder
-Plants and air quality
-Humidity levels
-Kitchen design for healthy cooking
-Design solutions for optimal sleeping conditions
I'll be posting a new article every Sunday. Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss anything, and please shoot me an email if you have any questions or ideas for new topics!

German mag Motorrad is reporting we might soon see a sport-touring version of the Kawasaki H2 hyperbike.
When Kawasaki first unveiled the track-only supercharged H2R, jaws dropped at its claimed 300 horsepower. Those jaws weren't quite as slack when the street-legal H2 was unveiled, as it's heavier and makes a few less ponies (264 hp, which is still a healthy number).
The H2 is obviously more usable, since you can take it on public roads, but you still don't see many around, partly because the bike is like the Suzuki Hayabusa and Kawasaki ZX-14: aside from drag strip heroics and straight-line posing on the street, what are they really good for? They're extremely fast bikes, but they don't corner as well as race-bred superbikes, and they aren't equipped for the one thing that heavy, powerful bikes are really good for: long-distance touring.
Motorrad thinks that might be about to change, with talk of a sport-touring version of the H2 coming soon. If true, that would be a very sensible use of the supercharged platform; all that torque would be welcome with a heavily-loaded machine. It might also be a very timely move, as there seems to be a bit of rekindled interest in luxury touring bikes, with a new Honda Gold Wing coming, Yamaha's two new superbaggers, and the Ducati Super Sport all coming to market recently.

The Five Solas: Soli Deo Gloria
What does it mean to give glory to God? This is a question I struggled with for far too much of my life and surprisingly didn't receive an answer to for most of the time I found myself in need of one. Yet I was constantly commanded to do it over and over–often with contradictory advice from the world, and even some other Christians, that my ultimate responsibility was just to be concerned about my own reputation, my own well-being, and my own goals and priorities.
As we can see in one of the most famous catechism questions ever written, glorifying and enjoying God is, in fact, "the chief end of man." The chief end of something is its primary, all-consuming purpose. It's the "why" behind every "what"–the goal which surpasses all other inferior goals and the foundation of every facet of discerning, deciding, and doing that makes up our being as persons. It would be a bit ridiculous to say it isn't necessary to be concerned with your chief end. After all, isn't this the question every human being recognizes in the pit of their heart both when tragedy strikes and when they wake up to the sound of an alarm signaling the start of another work day? "What on earth am I here for? What's the point of my existence? And who gets to decide?"
The God who created and sustains the Universe is the One who gets to decide, of course. And He says in His Word more than once that He is the rightful recipient and manifestation of glory. One of my favorite of all these declarations is Isaiah 42:8: "I am the LORD, that is my name; my glory I give to no other." This should be obvious, right? But we still strive and grasp for our own sense of glory. More self-esteem. More public acclaim. More autonomy. Don't let the culture fool you; we don't really have as much of problem with self-hatred as much as we have an out-of-control problem with self-obsession. We spend a lot of time trying to find a way to pull the spotlight over onto ourselves, whereas God rightfully demands that it remain permanently fixed on Himself. The glory–the acclaim, the spotlight, the credit due, and the praise offered–all belongs to Him and Him alone.
This is what the phrase "Soli Deo Gloria" means: "to God alone be the glory." It takes this extraordinary truth to an even higher level: God's deliberate, benevolent, and amazingly gracious salvation of depraved human souls. Where many, many people attempt to portray the Gospel of Christ as orienting around God's need for man, the reality is that it is rooted in and motivated by man's need for God. His grace isn't owed to us or else it wouldn't be grace. His love for us is motivated not by our goodness but by His own. We cannot possibly earn it or lay claim to it except by the finished work of the Son, Jesus Christ.
This is why it is absurd and even blasphemous to think that anything–even our salvation–is foundationally about us. We didn't accomplish it–Christ did (Ephesians 3:11). We didn't choose it–He did (John 15:16). So how can we let it offend and confuse us to affirm that God saved us for the sake of His own glory? May we praise Him, and only Him, for this and all else.
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved." Ephesians 1:3-6

Naomi Campbell told an international tribunal that she received a gift of " small dirty looking stones" that turned out to be diamonds from men she believed to be representatives of former Liberian dictator Charles Taylor, who is now on trial for war crimes at The Hague. She had previously told ABC News that she never received a diamond from Taylor.
Campbell said she gave the stones to the former director of the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund, Jeremy Ractliffe.
"I just said take them, do something with them, make sure some children benefit from them," she told chief prosecutor Brenda Hollis today in court.
Campbell said that Ractliffe told her he did not have time to sell the stones, and that he still has them.
According to Campbell, two men came to her room at Nelson Mandela's residence in the middle of the night after a dinner at which she'd met Charles Taylor for the first time. She says the men woke her up, said "A gift for you," and handed her a pouch with several "dirty-looking" stones inside with no note or explanation.
She denied that she had been flirtatious with Taylor at dinner or had been seated next to him, or that he had told her he planned to give her a gift of diamonds. She said she had not been in contact with him since the dinner.
Campbell was subpoenaed by the international tribunal following an ABC News report about allegations that Taylor had given her uncut "blood diamonds" on a trip to South Africa.
Campbell reluctantly appeared at the The Hague Thursday to give her version of events the night she met Taylor at the home of Nelson Mandela in 1997. She arrived at court under police protection, and said during testimony that appearing was an "inconvenience" for her because she feared for the safety of her family.
Until the ABC News report, Campbell had refused to cooperate with the Special Court for Sierra Leone where Taylor is standing trial. Taylor is charged with 11 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Campbell testified Thursday that she had never heard of Taylor, Liberia or blood diamonds when she met the Liberian president in 1997.

The London-born beauty took center stage at the trial in January when prosecutors introduced evidence that Taylor had given her a rough-cut diamond in the middle of the night, following a dinner at Mandela's home.

Arvind Kejriwal To Be Charged In Delhi Bureaucrat Assault Case: SourcesState28 Jun 2018 10:31 AM GMT
New Delhi : Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his deputy Manish Sisodia will be charged by the police with criminal conspiracy over the alleged attack on a top bureaucrat in February.
Sources say the police have prepared a charge-sheet based on the evidence and statements of many and it is set to be filed soon.
Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash has alleged that he was manhandled and assaulted at a late night meeting at Mr Kejriwal's home on February 19.
Anshu Prakash has alleged that in Mr Kejriwal's presence, he was attacked by lawmakers of Delhi's ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). He complained to the police that he was beaten by two legislators as part of a conspiracy between everyone present in the room, a statement seen to point at the Chief Minister.
Mr Kejriwal was questioned and his home was searched twice by the police in connection with the incident.
AAP has alleged that Mr Prakash and several other bureaucrats have skipped meetings and refused to cooperate since then.
Mr Kejriwal and his ministers spent nine days protesting inside a guest room at Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal's residence Raj Niwas and refused to budge until the officers were ordered to end their "boycott".
Last month, police officers questioned the Chief Minister at his home for over three hours and asked around 100 questions. He was reportedly questioned in the room where the controversial meeting with the chief secretary took place.

This year, for the first time, we applied for two Best Place to Work awards. Yes, you can probably see where this is going. Get ready for a little humble bragging :)
We first applied for Inc. Magazine's Best Workplaces of 2018, and were excited to find out last month that we made the list.
So, it's wonderful icing on the cake to find out we've also been named the 4th Best Small Business to Work For by Seattle Business Magazine, earning a spot in the top 100 alongside companies like Redfin, Facebook, and Zillow.
Similar to Inc.'s process, Seattle Business Magazine conducts anonymous employee surveys with questions across these 10 categories:
- corporate culture
- executive leadership
- benefits
- communication
- hiring / retention
- performance standards
- responsibility / decision-making
- rewards / recognition
- training / education
- workplace environment
They average out the results to rank the top companies in each category, grouped together by size. We were shocked to find out that we topped the list for Best Benefits across all company sizes, and we ranked in the top five for Workplace Environment and Communication.
We've always been proud of our passionate, hard-working, and funny team here at 10,000ft (don't worry, we even like the people who aren't so funny), and the deliberate culture we've built together over the last six years. As you probably know, we talk about culture a lot (see here, here, here, here). And to finally have it recognized with two awards at this stage of our growth feels super special.
We know this wouldn't happen without our customers and community. We love being able to work with all of you and help your businesses grow, too. You truly are what keep us passionate about our work, so thank you for being part of our journey.
Here's to being an unofficial best place to work since 2012, and making it official in 2018.

Thermodynamic trends for the adsorption of non polar gases on activated carbons employing a new adsorption isotherm modelling
Chakraborty, Anutosh
Date of Issue2016
School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
In this paper, the author reports a thermodynamic framework for understanding the surface – energy and the surface – structural interaction factors of activated carbons with various non polar adsorbate molecules. For better understanding, the author employs adsorption uptakes data of activated carbons and some non-polar gases such as H2, Ar, N2, CO2, O2 and CH4 to calculate the enthalpy and entropy of adsorption in pressure-temperature-uptake coordinate systems. The RMS errors are calculated with respect to the proposed model and the experimental data. The minimum RMSEs are found as the model fits well with the experimental data. From theoretical observations, the heterogeneity factors (m) are obtained 1 for microporous and 2 for mesoporous activated carbons, and the interactions of non-polar gases on activated carbons are found to be more sensitive to the adsorbent pore geometry and the adsorbate size. It is also established that the enthalpy and entropy of adsorbent – adsorbate system are closely related to the kinetic diameter of adsorbate molecules, and the pore size equivalent to adsorbate kinetic diameter is the key to store more adsorbate at low pressures. For example, the pore width of activated carbon is roughly maintained 3.8 Å for more methane storage and 3.3 Å for more CO2 captures.

As the Buddha passed away, he advised Buddhists of the future to visit the major sites of his activities and think to themselves, "Here the Buddha was enlightened; here the Buddha first taught the Dharma…" Thus from the very inception of Buddhism, physical places have served as a way for disciples to defy the tyranny of time to connect with the great masters of the past.
Kampo Nenang, Karma Gön and Tsurphu—the monastic seats in Tibet founded by Dusum Khyenpa—similarly offer an opportunity to create bridges that span vast stretches of time. The Karmapa's main seats have ensured that not only his future disciples but also his future reincarnations have a lasting base to which they can turn to connect with the lineage generation after generation. Since Dusum Khyenpa, every successive Karmapa has made his residence at Tsurphu Monastery for some period of time. Yet the large monasteries of the Karma Kagyu do much more than provide lasting shelter to the transient generations who inhabit them. Most importantly, they ensure that the insight and wisdom cultivated by exceptional practitioners is not lost with their passing. Compared to the enduring masses of stone from which Tibetan monasteries are built, human bodies are painfully fragile and short-lived.
Even when many strong practitioners come together in one generation, if there is no physical center to hold them together, the practice community inevitably disperses when the great masters move on. In the case of the Karmapa, the continuity of practice would be disrupted if the communities had to be repeatedly reconstituted at new sites. For this reason, the 16th Gyalwang Karmapa's first major deed in exile was to construct a new seat, at Rumtek in Sikkim, and not long thereafter, his new seat in North America, KTD, now under the care and guidance of the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa.
Kampo Nenang
Dusum Khyenpa founded Kampo Nenang, the first of his monastic seats, in 1164. At that time, he was already in his 50s, having returned to his native Kham following three long decades training in central Tibet. When a vast practice community gathered around him, he established Kampo Nenang as a base to care for their practice needs, physically as well as spiritually. Indeed, Kampo Nenang is particularly said to represent the body of Dusum Khyenpa, while Karma Gön represents his speech and Tsurphu represents his mind. Over the centuries, with the rising fortunes of other sects, Kampo Nenang passed in and out of Kagyu hands. For some time it was home to monks of the Sakya school of Tibetan Buddhism, and today serves as a Gelug monastery. For nearly 850 years, Kampo Nenang's ancient walls and surrounding peaks have thus patiently endured the centuries and generously hosted whatever spiritual practitioners history sent their way.
Karma Gön
Twenty years after he had established Kampo Nenang, Dusum Khyenpa created a second major seat, nestled among the hills alongside the banks of the Dzachu River in Chamdo, Kham. Until the Eighth Tai Situpa (1700-1774) founded his own seat at Palpung Monastery in the 18th century, Karma Gön was the main center of the activities of the Situpa reincarnation line. The very first Tai Situpa (1377-1448) was appointed the principal teacher of Karma Gön, and subsequent Tai Situpas accepted primary responsibility for the care of Karma Gön. Through the sustained Karma Kagyu interest in the arts, of which Tai Situpas were particularly talented examples, over the centuries Karma Gön came to be richly embellished with murals, statues and thangkas. Its library housed a fine collection of Sanskrit texts, and was among the largest in Tibet. Largely destroyed during the Cultural Revolution, efforts are underway today to rebuild Karma Gön in Tibet, even as its Karma Kagyu monks maintain the continuity of practice there.
Situated in the Tölung valley of central Tibet, in 1189 Tsurphu became the last institutional seat founded by Dusum Khyenpa. In 1159, shortly before his return to Kham, he had laid the basis for this seat, by propitiating the local protectors. Decades later, complying with instructions he had received from Lama Gomtsul, the First Karmapa journeyed from Kham to this site west of Lhasa to establish Tsurphu Monastery. He was nearly 80 years old at the time, and it was here that Dusum Khyenpa passed away in 1193. Over the centuries, successive Karmapas have continually imbued Tsurphu Monastery with their powerful living presence. Tsurphu also served to house their bodily relics, which were enshrined in stūpas and clay statues called tsatsas.
By the end of the Cultural Revolution in Tibet, the entire monastic complex was razed and nothing but uninhabitable ruins remained. When the political situation improved, the Sixteenth Karmapa sent Drupön Dechen Rinpoche back from India to Tibet to begin reconstructing Tsurphu. While he resided at Tsurphu in his youth, the Seventeenth Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje, became active in rebuilding this monastery. Today, most of the original complex has been recreated, and a study institute, or shedra, has also been established at Tsurphu.
Since his arrival in India in 1959 and subsequent move to temporary living quarters at the old Rumtek Monastery, the 16th Gyalwang Karmapa began plans to build his seat-in-exile, a place from which the dharma would spread. Here, under his supervision, tulkus and monks would live and work to perpetuate their traditions of Buddhist practice and study for the benefit of all sentient beings. By bestowing the complete Karma Kagyu initiations and reading transmissions to numerous Rinpoches and lamas, continuing an unbroken oral tradition passed on from teacher to student, the Karmapa could ensure the survival of the great practice lineage. Please visit the Rumtek website (click here) for complete construction history and current news and activities and also see the publications Dharma King and Karmapa 900 for historical accounts and many more photos.

For a few weeks at the beginning of the year, I was in a real painting funk. I just couldn't get any of my projects started. But late-January, something just clicked and I've been on a role since! I think it's just when you finish one model, you feel compelled to finish another. And then another. I'm making such progresss and have been able to squeeze in able an hour most days for painting that I am setting myself a goal:
All Khador models painted before I get married.
That gives me until mid-April. What do I have left besides what I am able to show you?
- 12 Iron Fang Pikemen (I'm mostly concerned with 8 at the moment however)
- Zerkova
- Butcher
- Warjack arm bits
Why the goal? Well, I still have a ton of Menoth to get stated on, which I am also in the process of prepping. I also I don't want to get started on them until after I take Meg Maples' class at the end of March. But the big reason is that I want a painted force! I'm taking a cue from Plarz and his new year resolution, no new forces until the others are painted! While I already have the Menoth force, I have yet to really use them. Plus, I'm sooooo close to finishing my Khador!
Enough ranting for now…TO THE PAINTING TABLE!
Kommandant Irusk
Status: Irusk is practically done. The only thing he needs is snow of his base, which could very well happen this weekend. Not much more I can say about this one. I'm extremely happy with the way he came out and the scheme is fantastic.
Oh, one thing I just remembered…I'm not sure I'm happy with how his eyes came out so I may be redoing them. And that white spot on his jaw, I think that may just be flash, but I'll double-check when I get home.
Vlad, The Dark Prince
Status: Much like Irusk, Vlad is only missing snow on his base before I declare him finished. Once that happens, both will get their own posts like I have done in the past with my other miniatures. It'll show you my attempt at freehand on his cape. I'm still not sure if it was a failure or success. I guess I'll let you decide when that post comes.
This Vlad does hold the distinction of being the fastest miniatures I've painted thus far.
Kommander Sorscha
Status: Ha! That's a good one.
I'm still kinda lost on the exact scheme I'm going to go with, but I think I have decided on mimicking the one I used on Irusk.
Status: The last of my Khador warjacks to get some paint. As per the winning suggestion on the poll I did earlier, he's red. I'm still very much in the process of base coating all of his areas, but I am really starting to like how he's coming out color scheme-wise. This guy is going to go bit by bit. I work on him a little here, a little there, in between working on the other stuff (mostly the Shocktroopers).
I'm trying to get him done in time to submit him to February's Paint the Target over at Lost Hemisphere, which just so happens to be Character jacks/beasts.
Man-o-War Shocktroopers
Status: And finally we come to the Shocktroopers…I've actually made a ton of progress on them the past few days. The bodies are put together and they are glued down on their bases. Seems insignificant a detail, but I think it has helped me out a lot with them. Now they aren't just a mound of pieces that need to be painted. Speaking of painted, their lower halves are essentially done, minus any last minute touch-ups I usually do when the model is much closer to the final product. Right now, I started on getting the white parts white on their chests. Next is some gold and details (so many rivets…). I'm excited to get them done because they are such a cool looking unit and I really want to try them out in a game.

Camping Pods
What are Camping Pods?
Camping or "Glamping" Pods offer upscale accommodation in a garden, a campsite or a remote spot that brings all the charm of the Countryside but with a much higher degree of comfort and security than being under canvas.
Everyone loves the idea of being close to nature, but not everyone wishes to go back to waking up with damp clammy sheets in the middle of the night.
Having the good feeling of being able to lock your door with valuables inside a secure building gives you peace of mind and a more relaxing time when going out exploring.
Camping Pods give you a new freedom – to buy or borrow a piece of land anywhere in the UK – and locate a Camping Pod on it! (eg There are lots of low cost Woodland areas available with camping opportunities on the Internet.) Alternatively you may just want to have some accommodation for fiends and family in your garden? – or even give you some additional income with a funky offering via AirBnB.?
The biggest beauty of all is that because the Pods are transportable, you can relocate them wherever you like (we have a special vehicle for doing this for you if you wish)

UPDATE 2/13/2019: After several days of asking Sun Sentinel journalists to look into the details surrounding the rejection by the Broward County School District of proposed legislation that would have put a focus on school safety and security, the Sun Sentinel published their story.
Failure by Broward County Schools leaders. Almost every day we discover more evidence of the failure by Superintendent Robert Runcie and Broward Schools to take school safety seriously. Several people informed me that Parkland parent Stephen Feuerman read part of a 2013 Broward School board agenda item on school safety at last evening's MSD Parent meeting, hosted by Broward Schools Superintendent Robert Runcie.
When you look at the agenda in more detail, it is damning for Superintendent Runcie and the School Board because both failed to implement promised school safety measures after the Sandy Hook tragedy, yet unabashedly raised tax dollars for school safety via the 2014 $800 million SMART Bond.
In the aftermath of Sandy Hook legislation was proposed to create an independent entity to handle school safety in Broward County. Runcie and the Board moved quickly to stop this effort and promised to do many things that *could* have had an impact on the lives of our children, spouses, and community.
In 2013 Mr. Runcie wrote,
There is proposed legislation that would allow Broward County voters to establish a special taxing district to fund security, safety and mental health needs. While we very much appreciate this effort on behalf of our school district, we have concerns with this proposal. A special taxing district, if approved by the voters would not generate revenue until 2015. Although more funding is always welcome, the School Board cannot wait, and is not waiting, that long to address its safety concerns.
emphasis added
In an effort to make the case that a special taxing district was not needed, the Superintendent and the School Board indicated that they would take a number of steps to ensure school safety. They said,
The School Board has:
- Requested our municipal and county law enforcement to increase their presence at our schools.
- Required each school to review its school safety plan. This review is in addition to the annual review that schools already are required to perform.
- Initiated a survey of each school site to determine the needs and costs to provide further hardening (e.g., retrofitting windows, doors, installing different locks).
- Assigned our limited corps of School District Police Officers to maintain an increased presence at schools that do not have full-time, dedicated School Resource Officers (SRO's.)
- Instructed all of our schools to engage in mock emergency drills and practice lockdowns.
- Instituted additional training for our School Security Specialists and Campus Security Monitors.The School Board intends to expand its SRO Program to provide an SRO at each school. We are currently exploring options for how this can be accomplished in the immediate future.
If any of these recommendations sound familiar it is in fact, because they are. Fast forward 5 years and several of them were found in the MSD Commission report. These should have been completed back in 2013 and certainly after the $800m SMART Bond, a complete failure by Robert Runcie and Broward County Schools.
Superintendent Runcie is pushing a narrative that school safety wasn't really a topic before MSD. His minions have even gone as far as saying the killer is a creation of the Parkland community. I went to Twitter tonight to combat this narrative and try to set the record straight about the failure by Superintendent Robert Runcie and by Broward Schools to address school safety, as they promised to do in 2013. For those on Twitter, see this thread:
At last night's #MSD Parent meeting, a document was read to @RobertwRuncie. It is a damning indictment of his failure to protect the students and teachers of Broward County as the Superintendent. https://t.co/Z6yaz16W0b *Thread 1/ pic.twitter.com/EjxZtA6AiQ

Extremely Grateful
My Step mother stayed in South Oaks for about a month after the Hurricane before we moved her back into her own home. Over all, I would have to say these people were wonderful to her. My stepmother is a tough cookie to say the least, but 95% of the people were extremely kind and understanding. I can't be grateful enough for what they did. My step mother has dementia, and won't eat if someone doesn't feed her. My only issue with South Oaks is that they would often bring her food to her, but not feed her. She ended up losing weight as a result. I had hired a private caretaker for her when she lived at home, and after I had her come during the day, things got much better. Over all though, I would recommend South Oaks. They were very kind, especially given our urgent need.

Weekend Update
Howdy all! This weekend went by TOO fast! I was busy as usual and didn't get any cleaning done...what else is new! Friday night I pretty much went home and watched Days of our Lives for the last 3 days. I was behind. Does anybody out there watch Days? If so, why did EJ save Austin and Carrie? I thought he wanted Sami? I don't get it. I'm dying to find out who the people in black are!!! Anyway, I got caught up and I was happy about that.
Saturday was spent dropping Avon book off at different businesses. Everyone seemed happy to see me. Let's see if that translates into sales. So far it hasn't. Mike and I were bad and went to WV Saturday night and drank too much beer and then had bad pizza. We were suppose to go to Village Square (a really nice restaurant downtown) for brunch on Sunday but we felt so shitty that we thought we should do it another time. You know, like when we could taste the food!
That brings us to Sunday night. We went to the Warren county fair and saw George Jones. He was pretty good even though he's getting pretty old. We just saw him 2 years ago and could see the difference. I guess he was in a car accident during that time. He talked about it but I couldn't tell when it was. It did seem to change his life. He said he was scheduled to be in the recording studio today (Monday) at 10am but I'm not sure how he managed that one. I don't think the studio was any where near Front Royal, VA.
That's it for my weekend update except I got a call from one of my Avon clients. This lady is a piece of work. She ordered $7.08 in products and did not return my phone calls to arrange delivery. This was a couple of months ago. There is only so many phone calls and drive-bys that I'm going to do for $7.08. Well, she called on Friday and wanted to know why I never called her. I don't want to call her back. I've bent over backwards for this lady more than once and don't want to do it again. Every time she orders, it's like pulling teeth to get with her to deliver/pay and until recently, she was a stay at home mom. It seemed to me that she left just before I was due to deliver. I hate that. Anyway, not much of a rant but that's the best I can do on a Monday morning!!
Let the countdown to So You Think You can Dance begin!! 59 hours, 57 minutes and counting!!!

/WL (Enable One-Line Diagnostics)
Appends additional information to an error or warning message.
Error and warning messages from the C++ compiler can be followed by additional information that appears, by default, on a new line. When you compile from the command line, the additional line of information can be appended to the error or warning message. This might be desirable if you capture your build output to a log file and then process that log to find all errors and warnings. A semicolon will separate the error or warning message from the additional line.
Not all error and warning messages have an additional line of information. The following code will generate an error that has an additional line of information; it will let you test the effect when you use /WL.

Kyle L. Poirier, Butterfly in August, 2012
acrylic on canvas, 10 x 10 in.
$100.00 plus $11.00 shipping and handling within Canada.
SOLD! To a very nice person.
Butterfly in August is another Vancouver Aquarium inspired painting. How so you may be wondering? Well, besides the tank and pools of aquatic creatures, there just happens to be a small Amazon rain forest display that you can wander through. As you make your way along the zigzag path in a very hot and humid environment, there are parrots, monkeys, and butterflies everywhere to see!
I held my little girl as we made our way through the display, all the while she held out her hands in hopes a butterfly would land on them.
This painting was worked up by referencing a couple of photos my wife managed to capture of the delicate, little creatures.
While painting, I finally decided to set up the camcorder and record the process, to create a time-lapse, or 'speed painting' video, giving a glimpse into the method behind the madness. It was posted yesterday, but I've included here again as it felt appropriate to do so.
Watch for more new paintings, and 'speed painting' videos coming soon!

Mute Selection
A workflow quick modifier or button that should be added to both the piano roll and the playlist is a mute selected tool. Either using the mute tool to select multiple notes/ patterns/ audio clips and mute all of them at once, or, create a hot key that can mute a selection once it has already been made. Would be very useful rather than going into the pull down menu and selecting mute. An option to use the same modifier to unmute a selection would also be very useful

This torn and rather neglected picture was found discarded in the bathroom. One day I glanced down at my own alter-ego staring back at me with a little suprise and then excitement that a piece of myself, a scattering of my art had found itself in an entirely different place. How startling it is to realise that all around you representations of yourself are staring up at you.

Another "Dread" maybe slightly too late
Is it the indefatigable efforts made by Hollywood to always repeat ridiculously successful films with new iterations of the same film with concerningly similar titles, or merely a chance for others to try and better the hugely successful, award winning Dread? Here, I am drawing parallels between my first film, shot in 2004, in the barn beside my house and edited on my home computer to a 2010, newly released feature entitled under the identical name, that appears on the iTunes site.
Six years later, Dread returns it's ghoulish head, with new energy, this time, however the terror is portrayed in a more appropriate 18 rating, which guarantees undeniable terror, unlike it's feeble counterpart. Having not yet watched this new version it is difficult to gauge it's similarities. The title and the font seem largely identical, however the similarities end here: while my film Dread is the fantasy quest for a lost amulet, with unconscious resemblances to the Lord of the Rings trilogy – I was only 13 at the time! – this new incarnation seems profoundly more disturbing, hence it's eighteen-ness.

By LINDA HALL
Staff Writer
CRESTON -- It's Doylestown's turn.
That was the consensus of a group of residents who told the library trustees that after looking forward to the new branch of the library for years, the draft design of the building was a disappointment.
The main sticking point seemed to be the absence of a front entrance. The director of the Wayne County Public Library said they might be pleasantly surprised with the Portage façade when they see a detailed drawing available in a week.
"What you saw was a very generic plan without any particular finish," Greg Lubelski said.
Joanna Haag told the board she was "stunned."
One of the biggest disappointments about the plan shown to them by architect Dan Meehan at a public meeting several months ago was its lack of a welcoming entryway.
In fact, the residents who took advantage of the public comments portion of the library board meeting held in Creston on Tuesday focused on the fact there is no front door on Portage Street.
The main entrance is on the back side of the building, facing what they said is an unsightly alley.
Haag said the site is prime real estate "for something wonderful."
The design "didn't sit real well with me," she said. "We don't want just a nice building.
"We want something wonderful," she said, something that will function as the village's "jewel."
"We've waited a long time," she pointed out. "We could have filled this room double tonight" with other residents who share her sentiments, she added.
"I expected it to be a crown jewel," Mary Lou Ault concurred. "I can't tell you how disappointed I am."
Betty Barr, representing the village's garden club, said the organization was planning a gazebo surrounded by a garden as a complement to the building.
After seeing the design, however, she thought their work might instead be "the focal point."
Barr said the village has worked very hard to brighten up the downtown area with a number of endeavors.
"We thought we were going to get a 'little Wooster,'" she said, referring to the new Liberty Street main library in downtown Wooster.
She presented the trustees with a letter from the club asking the board to reconsider the design.
"Doylestown has always supported the library," Barbara Hohenshil said, even providing rent-free space for its temporary location. "This past couple of years has not been good."
"We did put money aside," providing the $1.6 million available to construct a new branch, Trustee Kevin Power said.
"We have offered you the finest property in the town," Bob Haag said, asking for active involvement of the Doylestown citizenry in the final product.
"First of all, I'm pleased to hear you like the location," Power, chairman of the facilities committee, said. "Gaining that site was a very rough experience."
Trustee Doug Drushal ascertained the main complaint among all who spoke was the lack of a front entrance.
"You can't possibly sit there and say that's good," Barr said. "Every building on Portage Street has a front door."
Trustees explained parking is in the back, making the rear entrance more convenient. Asked why a front and back door wasn't a possibility, Lubelski said floor space in a building already limited in size would be sacrificed with that design.
"Whatever we (change) is going to cost money," Trustee Richard Shisler noted.
At least one of the residents pointed to the size as inadequate, based on the large population in their corner of the county.
The group also indicated private fundraising for additional square footage in the 5,000-square-foot building, expandable to 10,000 square feet, was unrealistic.
"It's going to be a question of compromise," said Trustee Bill Bailey, noting he had been appointed as a trustee in the middle of the process and was advised the board was intent on keeping its commitment to provide at least a 5,000-square-foot library with the funds available.
Because of limited funds, "from my perspective, (Meehan has) had his hands tied," Bailey said.
"I hope you can appreciate these are hard decisions," Drushal said.
When the board expressed its concern and empathy for residents, Hohenshil said, "That's what (we) wanted to hear."
A meeting will be held Tuesday at 2 p.m. in the west conference room of the main library on Liberty Street, Wooster, to view a more detailed design of the proposed branch.
