Greensboro elections: wake me when it's over
My homepage, MoveOn.org, has as its subtitle the phrase '"Democracy In Action.'" My hometown, Greensboro, North Carolina, should have as its subtitle the phrase '"Democracy In Inaction.'"
How else can you describe the dearth of candidates for city office in the upcoming election? Perusing the names '— or lack thereof '— on the ballot, this election season shapes up as one of the most inactive and uncompetitive in memory. It's dull, depressing and dysfunctional '— and certainly no way to run a democracy. Regardless of the News & Record's 'half-empty, half-full' view of things, I see a city run on apathy, nonchalance and indifference.
Is it any wonder that our city government is sometimes characterized as semi-functional, barely operational and marginally effective? When the populace is too apathetic to even bother to field a viable slate of candidates to challenge the status quo, something is seriously flawed with the community '— unless, of course, the council is doing such as whiz-bang job that it would be an insult to challenge them, and I think even the most ossified among us knows that's never the case.
With two entrenched incumbents '— Robbie Perkins and Claudette Burroughs-White '— choosing not to run, and another '— Florence Gatten '— opting for reelection as an at-large rather than district candidate, this particular election should have produced one of the largest, strongest fields in recent memory. Yet, astoundingly, what we have are two incumbents '— Mayor Keith Holliday and District 3 Councilman Tom Phillips '— running unopposed. Plus, in what should have been a wide-open affair in the seat vacated by Gatten, it looks like former County Commissioner Mike Barber, who was unseated by Mike Winstead last year, will win by a landslide over perennial retread Joseph Rahenkamp and unknown Janet Wallace. I also see incumbents Sandy Carmany (District 5) and Dianne Bellamy-Small (District 1) winning handily over four candidates with minimal name recognition.
Moreover, with three incumbents vying for the three at-large seats, does anyone see any of the five challengers mounting a serious threat? I don't, even though I'll make it known here and now that two of my three at-large ballots will have an X beside the names of Joel Landau and Diane Davis. Even if I didn't believe in them (which I do) I would lodge a protest vote against the two incumbents who voted to overrule the Zoning Commission and turn the woods in my backyard into a condo village. As the Confederate soldier on the license plate says, '"Hell no, I ain't fergittin'!'"
And speaking of protest votes, where have all the gadflies gone? Where are the malcontents, the hell-raisers, the burrs under the saddle of city government? Where are the Terry Berrys and the Ben Matkinses and the Sol Jacobses. Hell, even my liberal fellow traveler Jim McNally, who makes me look like a moderate by comparison, decided to forego the folly this time around. Jim used to run against folks he had absolutely no chance of beating (like Billy Yow and Steve Arnold), just so the right-wing incumbent would not win by forfeit. Perhaps he is tilting at windmills of a different sort these days, but we still need his type, just to spice things up and keep the power brokers semi-honest.
There is one contest that might actually be a contest: District 2. With no incumbent, each of the four challengers looks interesting, but the best and brightest among them is community activist Ed Whitfield. However, one of his opponents, William Lewis Byers, asked a very pertinent question: '"Where are all the black, young leaders?'" I would expand that by asking, '"Where are all the leaders, period?'"
Just so you'll know, I would've voted for Keith Holliday anyway, but that's not the point. For the system to work, somebody '— anybody! '— must enter the political arena and offer an opposing viewpoint. Competition makes for a better product and the same holds for government. Incumbents need someone pushing them, holding their feet to the fire, making them accountable. A complacent community makes for complacent leaders, and if no one is willing to step up, we all get left by the wayside as more dynamic, progressive, visionary towns rise to the forefront. As we sit around whining and griping, other burgs eat our lunch.
Democracy only works if you work at it, if you practice it and polish it and try to make it better. Right here, right now, what we have is at best a dysfunctional democracy.
You get what you deserve and you deserve what you get. And right now, I feel shortchanged. I feel I deserve better.
Ogi can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com and heard each Tuesday from 9:30'–10 a.m. on WGOS 1070 AM.

Review: The Three Stooges and Multi-Theft AutoMay 7, 2012
First, I want to thank everyone for their patience with me. It has been a long-ass couple of months, but I'm working on wrapping up the last reviews of April now. But, for now, here's this. Last weekend (this would be April 29th), I saw The Three Stooges. Now that a week has passed, I feel comfortable giving you a brief synopsis.
The Three Stooges
As babies, the stooges are left on the doorstep of the Sisters of Mercy Orphanage. At the age of ten, Moe is nearly adopted by a wealthy couple, but is taken back after he can't bear to be separated from Larry and Curly, with the wealthy couple taking a fourth boy, Teddy, home. Over the course of thirty plus years, they cause the orphanage to rack up more than eight hundred thousand dollars in medical bills, so they must leave to make their way in the world to earn the money to save the orphanage.
Their first plan involves a woman named Lydia looking to to have her husband killed, she says, because he has a slow terminal illness. In reality, she stands to inherit his sizable wealth and intends to marry her lover, whom the trio mistake for her husband resulting in his being in traction in the hospital. The stooges go to finish the job, but are chased away by hospital staff, and upon their exit they meet the now-adult Teddy, who invites them to his anniversary party. The three then try their hands at farming salmon, by which I mean they put salmon on a golf course and water them. After security catches wind of this, the stooges get run off and wind up having a slapstick argument in front of a casting director for Jersey Shore, with Moe getting cast.
I firmly believe that this would be the only way to get me to watch Jersey Shore.
Without giving away the third act, they don't get the money in time, but a new orphanage has been built nearby. If that doesn't sound like there's much in the way of plot, well, it's not. But when it's combined with classic Three Stooges style slapstick, it amounts to an enjoyable movie.
Multi-Theft Auto
The first version of Multi Theft Auto came out in 2003, and since then it's gotten exponentially better. The latest version, 1.3, came out in January of this year. It's hard to talk about what the game is like, because it's multiplayer. Your results are going to vary. It really depends on which server you join. I've seen some really good, really orderly servers, and I've seen ones that have descended into chaos. On one server, I somehow managed (by entering a door that lead to an uncoded room) to end up stuck in a negative world with invisible walls and had to be rescued by either an admin or a moderator, I don't remember which.
Earlier that same night, on a different server, I worked as a trucker until someone tried to blow up my truck and shipment with satchel charges. I got the shipment in, but now my truck was on fire, so I did the only logical thing: I floored it and tried to run the bastard down. And after that failed, I got the hell out of there.
And that's why I don't support Ron Paul.

Did anyone see this article last month? "How to Get Your Body Caftan-Ready for Summer" might be the best fashion related article I've read this year. I've been a fan of tunics and caftans for years now and I'm glad they're really getting their moment in the sun this year. Paired with a bold smoky eye, nude lips, and lots of big gold jewelry, a caftan is perfectly 1960's chic. A little bit bohemian and free-spirited, yet unapologetically glamorous at the same time.

Side note: While the caftans below are gorgeous, does anyone else think Lilly should go back to models that look a little happier?

The findings do not prove cause and effect but suggest the need for more research, particularly as inducing labor (stimulating contractions before the onset of spontaneous labor) and methods to increase the strength, duration, or frequency of contraction during labor have been used more frequently in recent years.
In this study, the researchers looked at records of all births in North Carolina over an eight-year period and matched 625,042 births with corresponding public school records, which indicated whether children were diagnosed with autism. The findings suggest that among male children, labor that was both induced and augmented was associated with a 35 percent higher risk of autism, compared with labor that received neither treatment.
Moving deliveries along has benefited women who have health conditions that pose a risk to them and their unborn children. Inducing labor and augmenting labor have been shown to prevent complications, including stillbirth.

Let's Bind an IOKit Method by Hand
Today on the forums a user asked about bindings for IOKit. IOKit is very diverse, and currently unbound in Xamarin.Mac. However, since it's C APIs, it is straightforward to bind by hand.
There aren't too many examples online how to approach this however, so let's break it down here.
We are going to bind this API:
io_service_t IOServiceGetMatchingService(mach_port_t masterPort, CFDictionaryRef matching);
Let's take a look at the header, which will be our guide.
First open up Xcode, make a test Cocoa app, and add
@import IOKit;
to pull in the framework we are binding. Then we can paste IOServiceGetMatchingService into a function and command click it to jump to definition and bring it up the header.
Now we need to do two thing to bind it in C#:
- Setup the base p/invoke
- Convert each type into the correct C# type
The basic p/invoke would look like:
[DllImport ("/System/Library/Frameworks/IOKit.framework/IOKit")]
static extern blah IOServiceGetMatchingService (blah masterPort, blah matching);
The important things here are that the function name matches the native symbols, and that we have the exact number of parameters, and a matching return type. You want to be very careful with p/invokes, they are not necessarily hard but mistakes can produce ugly crashes to debug.
Well "blah" won't compile obviously, so we need to figure out the types to go there. Very often those are either numbers (int or long) or pointers (IntPtr), so let's jump to Xcode.
Find io_service_t in the IOServiceGetMatchingService and command click it to jump to definition. That gives you
typedef io_object_t io_service_t;
and command clicking io_object_t gives you
typedef mach_port_t io_object_t;
then we continue to __darwin_mach_port_t then __darwin_mach_port_name_t then __darwin_natural_t which finally gives us unsigned int. Whew. Finally
Well I happen to know know that that turns into int but if you aren't sure, you can run
NSLog (@"%d", sizeof (unsigned int));
to check the size. 4 in this case, which means int.
So the first blah is int:
[DllImport ("/System/Library/Frameworks/IOKit.framework/IOKit")]
static extern int IOServiceGetMatchingService (blah masterPort, blah matching);
Hitting the back arrow in Xcode a bunch, we start on master_port_t, which turns into __darwin_mach_port_t which we already know is an int. That wasn't so bad:
[DllImport ("/System/Library/Frameworks/IOKit.framework/IOKit")]
static extern int IOServiceGetMatchingService (int masterPort, blah matching);
The last one is easy, for CFDictionaryRef (and pretty much AnythingRef) is a IntPtr, since we need to pass a pointer (reference) to the object in question.
[DllImport ("/System/Library/Frameworks/IOKit.framework/IOKit")]
static extern int IOServiceGetMatchingService (int masterPort, IntPtr matching);
Now let's try to use it. Read the header to see what the expected values for each parameter. It notes passing kIOMasterPortDefault if you don't care about the port, which we don't. What is a kIOMasterPortDefault? Pasting it into our project and command clicking that gives us:
/*! @const kIOMasterPortDefault
@abstract The default mach port used to initiate communication with IOKit.
@discussion When specifying a master port to IOKit functions, the NULL argument indicates "use the default". This is a synonym for NULL, if you'd rather use a named constant.
const mach_port_t kIOMasterPortDefault;
So we can use 0 (null) in our example. So we're looking at something like:
int service = IOServiceGetMatchingService (0, some_pointer);
some_pointer being the last missing piece. We could bind the CFDictionary APIs, but there is a much easier way. Apple has what's called "toll free bridging" between a number of Obj-C and C types. Reading that document, we can use a NSDictionary. So our invocation looks like:
using (NSDictionary d = new NSDictionary ()) {
int service = IOServiceGetMatchingService (0, d.Handle);
We're using a using block to make sure that NSDictionary is alive for the duration of the call.
Now, let's run it and see what happens. Service gives us a number and nothing crashed, which are good signs. However, we likely need to fill in the dictionary with information to describe what we're looking for.
Doing some searching for "IOServiceGetMatchingService example" brings up multiple samples using a IOServiceMatching API, which looks like:
const char * name ) CF_RETURNS_RETAINED;
Using what we learned, and knowing that char * -> string we get:
[DllImport ("/System/Library/Frameworks/IOKit.framework/IOKit")]
static extern IntPtr IOServiceMatching (string name);
But notice the CF_RETURNS_RETAINED bit. That means we normally have to clean it up with
[DllImport ("/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/CoreFoundation")]
extern static void CFRelease (IntPtr obj);
but if we keep reading we get
The dictionary is commonly passed to IOServiceGetMatchingServices or IOServiceAddNotification which will consume a reference, otherwise it should be released with CFRelease by the caller.
So we must not clean up the IOServiceMatching return. We should clean up the service though, with:
[DllImport ("/System/Library/Frameworks/IOKit.framework/IOKit")]
extern static int IOServiceClose (int service);
All together we get:
IntPtr serviceDescription = IOServiceMatching ("IOPCIDevice");
int service = IOServiceGetMatchingService (0, serviceDescription);
Console.WriteLine (service);
IOServiceClose (service);
Which appear to work! We'll need more APIs bound it use it, but the process is the same as what we did here.

This tutorial will show you how to configure TM Mega Menu module (v.1.7.0+).
This module is designed to create complex menus. The module provides the ability to display one item (without sub-menu), a menu item with a sub-menu and a menu item with a multi-row and multi-column sub-menu block. The module can be used in different positions, but it will display the same content.
Available positions: top(displayTop), left(displayLeftColumn), right(displayRightColumn), footer(displayFooter). You can add categories (with subcategories), CMS categories (with subcategories), manufacturers (one or a list), suppliers (one or a list), stores (if multistore is used), links to any product, information block about the product, custom links (are not limited in quantity), custom HTML blocks (are not limited in number), furthermore you can add YouTube videos (with the link) and Google Map locations, also not limited. Below we'll review each of the functionality in details.
TM Mega Menu module is divided into the section which are easy to manage. In the first row you will see the available features that you can add to your menu. Below you will see the rows each containing the items. Also you are allowed to edit the styles of the module. It allows you to create custom look of the Top Level Elements, Badges, First and Next Level Elements along with their links and hover & active conditions.
Add an item element.
- This item represents basic menu element which appears in the menu. To configure existing ones you can click 'Edit' button at the end of the row (you can also delete an item) 'Item List', we are going to add one. To do it, click on the Add item button.
In the opened window you are able to configure the New Item that will appear in the menu. Let's review each field:
Enter item name is required field – this will show the name of the menu item.
Active – it gives you an option to display the menu item or hide it.
Link: you can choose between external link, which is URL or existing one, in the first case you will need to paste the URL below, in the second you will need to choose the link from list which appears when you click Existing URL.
Sort Order will display the item in the order you input. For example, if you insert 1, the menu item will be the first on the list.
Specific class is set if you wish to implement any custom CSS changes to the menu item.
Enter item badge gives you a possibility to use a badge for the menu item. For example, if you have a new category of products, you can type New.
It is megamenu gives you a possibility to use a megamenu for this menu item. It can be easily configured. When you make the Item to be Mega Menu you will be given an option to add the row and then divide it into the columns. The maximum size of column is 12. Then you will see the user-friendly boxes which allow you to add or remove the content from the list.
Use simple menu option will give you a possibility to add the sub-menu items. Choose an item which you wish to add from the 'Available items' list, and click 'Add' below to move them to 'Selected items'.
When you finish configuring the menu item, click Save or Save or Stay. Now you have seen how to configure the Menu Items elements. The will appear in the first row as a list of the items which you add.
Note: in order to add any items to your menu – banners, maps, videos etc, you will need to add them through the menu items. So, for example, if you want to add the Map to the menu, make the menu item to be Megamenu and then assign the Map to it.
Add HTML element
This items gives you a variety of possibilities to create your custom content with help of HTML. You will be able to add the elements with custom HTML code which you may like more. To add this click Add HTML. You will need to set the configuration to the following fields:
Let's review each:
Enter HTML item name – this is a required field which will show you the name of a new HTML item.
Specific Class – this option gives you a possibility to assign a custom class to your menu item. You may further use it for the additional CSS rules implementation.
HTML content – the following editor (listed in above image under '3') is used for your HTML content. You need to paste it right there. Furthermore it has additional tabs which help you to make it easier to use. If you want to paste the plain HTML you can use the Tools > Source tab to do so.
Now you've seen how to add HTML items to your Mega Menu. Let's move to the next feature.
Add Link
The Add Link feature is quite handy if you need just simply add the menu item and set the link to it without bothering to configure any other fields. It is quite easy to use!
Enter Link name – this will be the name of an item.
Enter Link URL – the item URL.
Specific Class – this option gives you a possibility to assign a custom class to your menu item. You may further use it for the additional CSS rules implementation.
Open in new window – when this option is set to yes, the item opens in a new window, when no – in the same.
Add Banner
The Banner item is very convenient when you need to add menu item with the image, indicating your new category or any other event. You need to have an image to upload and set the required fields. Click the Add Banner button. And lets surf through the fields which need to be filled:
Select a file is a required field where you need to browse the image from the computer. The preferred images for web are JPEG or PNG types.
Enter Banner name – it will be the name of the banner, not visible to the customers, preferably should be the same as the Public Title field beneath.
Specific Class – this option gives you a possibility to assign a custom class to your menu item.
Public Title this is the Banner title which will be seen to the customers.
Description this is the same editor as in the HTML feature. It gives you a possibility to add your custom content to the banner, including the HTML.
Open in new window – when this option is set to yes, the item opens in a new window, when no – in the same.
Add Video
The Add Video is a feature that lets you promptly add your custom video form YouTube or Vimeo with the link. This feature has only two fields to fill in. The first one is Enter Video name which will be the name of the item. The field beneath is called Enter Video URL, you need to paste the URL of your YouTube/Vimeo video here. You may also check the examples of the links lower this field.
Add Map
The following feature gives you a possibility to insert the map to your menu. Let's check how to do it. Click on the Add Map button. You will see the following (fields in red are required):
Enter Map item name this will show the name of the map you use.
Enter Map latitude and then Enter Map longitude – these fields are supposed to be filled with the values which indicate your map location, please check the image below. The red under the 1 indicates latitude and blue under 2 shows longitude.
Marker this field requires the icon (small image), preferably PNG or ICO type with 64×64 px dimensions. Click Upload and browse the icon, so it indicates the position on the map.
Scale is the map zoom. The value must be between 1 and 21. 21 is the biggest zoom while 1 is the smallest – will show all the globe.
Map description is the field where you can insert your custom Map description. The editor is easy. You may as well use your custom HTML formatting in Tools > Source Code.
Note: in order your Google Maps to work properly you may need to have the Google API key set. Please, see the following link for more info.
We have reviewed all the items and features that you can use in the TM Mega Menu module. You can now manage all your menu items and insert different custom blocks into it. The last thing we will review is the Edit Styles tool which you can see on the top right corner of the TM Mega Menu editing page.
This feature gives you a possibility to apply different styles to all of the items, subitems, fonts and other blocks of your menu. Lets review all the available tools. Click on Edit Styles. This opened window shows you different level items which expand and then give you a possibility to edit styles. Also it has Hover & Active conditions of an item. Hover effect appears when you make the mouse over the element, active is the moment you click on the item. So lets see what styles you can edit:
Color – the primary color of chosen level item font. So basically if you choose green, your font will change to this color.
Background color – the color of the background of current level items.
Background image – alternative to the background color – gives you a possibility to set background image.
Background settings has two fields, the Repeat one allows you to repeat the background-image vertically(repeat-y), horizontally(repeat-x), do not repeat the image, and repeat it both vertically and horizontally.
Border color changes each of the borders' color.
Border type allows you to set the border dotted, dashed, solid or double borders.
Border width (px, em) this options sets the width of the borders with either px value or em one.
Border radius (px, em) is the feature which rounds the corners of the fields.
Box shadow makes the shadow to the chosen level. You should paste the following parameters: 0px 0px 0px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.75) the first and the second parameters define the offset of the shadow, the place the shadow falls. The third parameter is the blur of your shadow, the smaller is the value the less blur you get. The fourth parameter is spread – the amount of shadow(defines its size). The last parameter is the shadow color with RGBA code which gives you a possibility to set the transparency.
The same options are available for the each level and each Hover & Active element available in your Mega Menu. Feel free to change them all to meet your needs.
In this tutorial you have seen how to configure, set and use the TM Mega Menu module.

How to Clean Baseball Caps
Caps are bound to get sweaty and dirty, but if you put it in the washing machine, they're sure to end up in a misshaped mess.
To clean the dirt and sweaty stains off without damaging the rim, you need a sturdy plastic food container with a lid.
Dry or liquid laundry detergent
Hand held cleaning brush
Large plastic food container (to fit hat)
Balloon/Ball size of inside cap
Warm water
1. Place the dirty hat in the plastic container with a spoonful of dry detergent and enough warm water to cover the hat about half way.
2. Place the lid on the container, making sure the seal is tight, and shake it vigorously.
3. Open the lid. Scrub the brush over the heavier soiled spots. Remove the water. Repeat the process until water shakes out clean.
4. Remove hat, and place it on the balloon or ball to match a head size.

Over at The Paris Review Daily, I wrote about the 18th-century chess playing automaton known as The Turk:
The Turk became a spectacular attraction, thrilling, baffling, and terrifying viewers across Europe and America for decades. His victims included Benjamin Franklin, Catherine the Great, and Napoleon. In one account of that match, Napoleon, in perhaps telling fashion, moved first—despite the fact that the Turk was playing white—and then attempted illegal move after illegal move until the Turk, fed up with these shenanigans, swiped the pieces off the board with a stiff wooden arm.

We highly recommend Spruce and Honey to our Bozeman area clients for whatever your wedding (or non-wedding) needs may be. Go check the store out or peruse the website. We promise you will not be disappointed!
Our Suggestions:
- Go get a facial (and a wax, if you want!) a week before your wedding day. Everyone deserves to treat themselves and feel special before such a big event. Be sure to give Keely a call well in advance, as appointments fill up quickly.
- Ladies in search of the perfect gift for their bridesmaids will find a wide variety to choose from here. There's chic minimalist jewelry, fun candles (the one that reads "Frolics Naked" is our favorite), gift certificates for facials, and more.
- Grooms can treat themselves (or their best man) to the Ursa Major face wash + moisturizing combo. It's a scent their bride will swoon over, and men will feel very masculine with the product's mountain inspired scents.
- Give out the campfire-scented incense sticks as wedding favors. This thoughtful gesture will allow guests to take the feeling of the mountains home with them.
Thank you, Keely, for allowing us to photograph your lovely shop! It was our pleasure!

He finally signed Wednesday night, but those Daisuke Matsuzaka baseball cards have been a hot ticket on eBay for awhile. If you blew off the World Baseball Classic stuff last spring, you might have missed an opportunity.
He'd better be good. The Boston Red Sox laid out another $51 million for Japanese pitching sensation Daisuke Matsuzaka Wednesday night, signing him to a long-term contract to pitch at Fenway Park.
Agent Scott Boras told ESPN.com the contract includes a "litany of personal comforts." Matsuzaka will get a massage therapist, physical therapist, interpreter and personal assistant, and the Red Sox agreed to provide the pitcher with 80-90 flights over the course of the deal, along with special housing and transportation arrangements and accomodations for his wife.
Collectors don't have quite as much at stake in the whole deal, but there is some speculating going on. Matsuzaka cards have been hot for a few weeks now as speculation mounted on when and where the flame-throwing starter would land.
As of Wednesday night, over 900 Matsuzaka items were on eBay, highlighted by over 330 cards. The most popular seemed to be the 2006 Upper Deck World Baseball Classic game-used jersey cards which have been moving for $150-300. 2006 Fleer Showcase is out there too with a 1/1 Printing Plate card not reaching the reserve dspite a $305 bid recently. He also has some Japanese cards including the 2000 Upper Deck Japan Ovation.

Make your money work for you - Save on Tax invest now
PNB MetLife India 21-01-2017 11:30:38 AM
Mr. Shreyas is a young professional, a software developer who earns about Rs.80,000 per month. He wants a plan that will offer insurance protection as well as tax savings option. In case something happens to him, he wants to ensure that his wife and children will be well taken care of. The solution? He probably needs a simple yet effective insurance plan that will offer him the opportunity to incur regular savings while offering life insurance against unforeseen events like death. In short, a policy that will allow him to grow his money, while availing protection for his family.Read More
Here are some of the key tax deductions that can benefit him:
Tax deductions under Section 80C: Section 80C of the Income Tax Act provides provisions for tax deductions on a number of payments, from payments made towards life insurance policies to Tuition fees paid to educate your children.
Tax deductions under Section 10(10D): Under this section of the Income Tax Act, the amount of sum assured plus any bonus (i.e. the policy proceeds) paid on maturity or surrender of policy or on death of the insured are completely tax free for the receiver, subject of course to certain conditions.
Normally, life insurance plans only provide tax benefits under section 80C and 10(10D). However, there are some plans out there that offer benefits also under section 80D. This section permits deductions on amounts spent by an individual towards the premium of a health insurance policy.
Mr. Shreyas simply needs to do a little research to discover the various money saving plans available to him in the market, and he will soon be able to find a place that works for him and his family.

Hello all! Tickets for Course 1 are already going and we'd like to remind everyone that tickets for Course 2 will only be available for those who complete Course 1. This way we ensure a safe and fair environment for everyone attending.
Pre-requisites are not just there for riggers but also for the MODELS/BOTTOMS/PARTNERS. As a model, showing up unprepared for a class puts you, your rigger and your fellow students at risk. We've seen this happen and it's not nice for those involved, so please be considerate and do your homework before classes.
We provide a lot of resources and information for very little money (£7 on a Thursday beginner rope jam) so there are no excuses not to meet the pre-requisites for classes for either riggers or models.
For question, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you cannot do Course 1 and still want to do Course 2, we can offer private one-on-one tuition. However we highly recommend attending the Discover Shibari Course even if you feel you're not a beginner as it's a really complete class with tons of details and fun exercises for body, mind and soul.
Thank you for reading!

The PINS have released the title track from their upcoming EP, Come Back. The EP will be released on Bella Union Records as part of this year's Cassette Store Day on September 27th. The track features everything that's great about the band -- spot on vocal harmonies and their impeccable retro stylings.
Each time I listen to 'Come Back', it whisks me back to my youth when I'd listen to records from my Mother's mid-60's heavy collection. I can almost hear the crackling and popping as the needle glided across the vinyl as I curiously marveled at sounds and voices I'd never heard before. The PINS are on to something, and are big favorites here at Aimless Skylarking. Stream 'Come Back' below to find out what they're all about.
For more information on the PINS:
Aimless Skylarking coverage of PINS
There's not much information to be found about The Belles, but here's the original of the song. The PINS' version is a dead ringer!

Old and New Light/
Image #6
Physical Inspiration: Light Falling on a Fortune Teller
This image is strange and an early one in the series. It's approximately 50% erasing and 50% drawing. Every morning, I see light come in my room. Some mornings I have time to watch the light as it passes through these tiny little holes in the mini blinds in my apartment window. They cast the white dots you see in my erasing-drawing but land on the surface of a fortune teller, made by a student, that hangs on my wall. I asked one of the middle school boys at my former school to make me a fortune teller. If you need a reminder, it's a piece of paper that kids play with in hopes that it will determine a myriad of future events. For instance, how many children they will have or if there is a puppy in their future. It's somewhat triangular in nature, it sits on their fingers while kids hope for an answer underneath the flaps that have been folded. It moves in and out, in and out. There is a fortune teller in this drawing!
Spiritual Inspiration: What the Old and New Testament have to say about Light...
Old Light: Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. And God saw the light, and said that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. (Genesis 1: 3-4)
New Light: "If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, the whole body will be full of light, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light." (Luke 11:36)
In this erasing-drawing light falls on the darkness of the flawed incapable fortune teller. Red - so that anyone seeing it will feel a sense of alarm and unease. And, only by the Holy Spirit can we have knowledge of and walk in the light.
Title: Observed and Recorded Permutation of The Holy Spirit - VIII
9.5 inches x 21 inches-pastel erasing on dura-lar
Location: Bakersfield Museum of Art
Event: #OpeningReception Extended
*price available upon request
*images will be posted in a random order every Saturday night at 11:59 p.m.
*each erasing has the same title with a roman numeral: Observed and Recorded Permutation of The Holy Spirit - I, II, etc.

Day 1 of Silence
Day 1 of Silence and I have a spot of wifi?! So of course I type up a status report to friends, family, students + anyone else I may have added to my email list. These are the notes I send.
The silence feels like a relief.
You mean I don't have to talk or interact?! Amazing.
Although at one moment I forget + find myself muttering "you're good," to a fellow retreatant who attempts to shift out of my way so I can see the teacher during mudra showcase.
I spend my day immersed in new chants, fancy mudra sequences, breath work and 5 separate sessions of meditation.
I sneak in two texts to Tommy. I overeat at the 3 meals because… vegetarian lasagne, freshly baked bread ( with butter), rice pudding + lamb curry?! I thought this was supposed to be vegetarian… #nocomplaints
I continue some of my usual habits + drink too much coffee so that my stomach hurts. I have a vicious thought or two that continues to stalk me through all my meditations + I swim in the pool... ;-)
I begin practicing a new technique where you zoom into the center of an emotion, thought or sensation (localized attention) + zoom out to all sensations, thoughts + feelings (non-localized attention). Apparently it's the pathway to unadulterated awareness. I think this technique is pretty rad.This and alternative body sensing- which I've never done before. Can't wait to teach it.
I never thought I'd say this... but I have another meditation session this evening... Ugh. I mean "Yay."
Being present can be hard… but we already knew this. Not sure when I'll send a note again.

Henry hates it when Chooch & I walk to the bakery and buy him a donut because he knows there is absolutely nothing altruistic about it. We just want to take pictures of pretty pink frosting grazing his bristling moustache so that we can endlessly mock him later. It's one of my favorite past times.
So now Henry tries to act like he doesn't want the donut. In fact, he was only pretending to eat it just so I would take a picture and leave him alone.
He kept trying to sneak bites without me noticing so I wouldn't take any pictures but I'm too fucking good. Get real, Henry.
It never gets old.
And this concludes my Law Firm Fitness Challenge Cop Out Blog Post. I feel guilty if I waste too much time sitting and typing when I could be pacing and lurking. (I lost two pounds since it started yesterday morning! My body fucking hates me today!)
5 Responses to "Henry & the Donut"
Do they have apple fritters? God, do I miss me some good apple fritters.
That smile though! Like he knows he's doing something he isn't supposed to be doing. Haha I love it!
No it never gets old. Not at all. I like these, and also pictures of Henry eating ice cream.

Deafblind Resource Services and Outreach Programs
The Deafblind Resource Services and Outreach Program at the W. Ross Macdonald School provides consultative services for pre-school and school aged children up to the age of 21, with deafblindness residing within the Province of Ontario.
Consultants are specialists in the field of deafblindness. Their experience and training has qualified them to address the needs of students with combined losses in vision and hearing, where specialized methods and techniques are necessary for learning and development.
An assessment of the child's functional use of vision and hearing by Deafblind Resource Services and Outreach Program precedes provision of service. Ophthalmological and audiological reports, information provided by parents and caregivers, as well as the child's responses during interaction with consultants from Deafblind Resource Services and Outreach Program, are all considered in order to determine the suitability of an identification of deafblindness.
Following identification, a consultant makes regular visits to the student's home and/or the school he or she is attending. A comprehensive individualized program for the student is designed by the consultant in a collaborative effort with information gathered from family and school staff. As well, the consultant will offer information and demonstrations of methods and techniques that are most suitable to foster the student's development and learning.
Deafblind Resource Services and Outreach Program is also committed to expanding awareness of the unique nature of the challenges faced by individuals with deafblindness. Upon request workshops and presentations are provided to schools and agencies who may be involved in supporting these students.
For a referral package, or to request support from Resource Services and Outreach Programs, Deafblind Program – please contact Amanda Gowan: email@example.com

For me being out in the limelight is like staring at the sun whilst riding a bike, you can't see where you are going and are pretty sure that there is a head on crash ,of a very personal kind, heading right slap bang in your direction.
We all get stage fright, often celebrities say that it keeps them grounded, those pre show nerves, and it probably does, but what if those pre stage nerves stop you from following your dreams for yourself and your business?
It is like having a present you cant give to someone just in case they don't like it or a painting that is so inspiring but yet it remains covered up just in case the sun fades its beauty.
So is wanting to hide away from the possibility of joy, experience and pleasure really how it needs to be?
I used to think so, and I still have many moments were my fear of what may happen stops me from the experience of what could happen.
Something happened lately that I want to share with you, because if I can find a way to step out once in a while to face my fears and begin to enjoy the opportunity experience brings, you too can make that choice to find a way that enables you to be in the sun in your own way and style.
This is not a quick fix, and it is OK to take things slowly, to test the water with one toe, but here are some of the ways that have led me to go from invisible to visible and means I have the courage to write this very blog...
Optimism even in my darkest moments I have held on to the feeling of coming out of the other side and getting back on my feet, because deep down I knew I had done it before.
Baby Steps give yourself the time you need, don't pressure yourself, give yourself a hard time or let anyone else do that to you either.
Get Help do not for one moment underestimate the power of getting the right help. I'm not talking friends or family here, although if you are lucky enough to have completely neutral focused people around you then fab, but fresh eyes and someone who has already experienced getting to the other side with the specific skill set you need right now is so powerful.
Self Care take time out, meditate, exercise, eat good nutritious food, laugh, dance, get a pedicure take a walk, whatever nourishes your soul do it, rejuvenation clears the mind and helps you look at things from a different perspective.
Scream, Cry & Shout in private, with your mentor, coach, counselor or friend the pure release of all that stress, anger and frustration is better out than in, I've cried river, sea and ocean over my lifetime, it has led me to the point now that I have more smiley days than sad.
Alternative Remedies I'm a practical no woo woo kinda girl, but I have kept my mind open to alternative ways of soothing my soul so I can live my life, among them have been Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) or tapping as it is sometimes called, law of attraction, journey work, journal writing and meditation.
Promise yourself you will action one comfort zone stretching no matter how small step daily, it can be anything from taking a shower, walking out the front door or picking up the phone to book a coaching call, I know to some these tasks may be every day stuff but i know for other this is like putting your hand in a burning flame.
Believe in you, the power of the universe and the immense love that is waiting for you out there in so many places, and of course the absolutely amazing feeling you will get when a fan, yes you will have fans, will leave a comment or send you an email saying thank you your gift inspired me and led me to change my life.
Yes I hear you (well it is probably the gremlin in my head speaking) what is a (used to be) Systems Geek doing writing about being invisible visibly?
Systems are powerful tools and it is quite easy for me to remain visible whilst being invisible, I can hide behind social media, automate all my processes for communicating with my clients, I can even hire someone to do everything for me, if I so wished, but Systems are not there to be misused.
They can be used simply and smartly to enhance your life and business, and one of my missions is to help my community become visible in their own true spotlight in their own way, and be supported to accomplish their dreams. The first step for you is to turn that spotlight on, so we can fully see you in all of your glory, once we see that we can ensure that light stays on and shines brightly for all to see what wonderful gifts you have to give.
So as I continue on my journey you may well see me going from invisible to visible, and I hope to see you there too.
If you would like to share your story or something has resonated with you today please leave a comment below or if you would prefer please email me samantha [a] samanthageddes.com I would love to know where you are at and whether you have any tips you have learnt from your own journey.
Have a wonderful day!

Hi everyone!!
Today's look is casual and cool. What I love about this ribbed long skirt is that is can be dressed up or down. However, when I first saw it I imagined it styled very laidback with an oversized tee. I ended up liking it with this knotted tank I have and simple white birkenstocks, which epitomize casual comfort.
I added this bandana like choker with paisley print, which unexpectedly looks awesome with the fringe finishing on the skirt…occupying the spotlight. Below, shop this look and similar items at a very low price. Thanks for stopping by today!

10 Airbnb tips for Hotels and 4 more stories
Last week Daniel Craig of Reknown published a thought provoking article with the above title. I recommend you read it, a few people pitched in on the comments section (me included) which I think adds a dimension to the article which is great. As I've said before, we as an industry need to think look a little further than the short-term competition into how we can grow the pie in travel. Three factors come to mind that will do that, 1st, make travel booking easier, 2nd make trips cheaper and 3rd remove risk from booking one's trips. If we can do that we can make more people travel, and it will reduce the amount of "wars against..." that hotels are fighting.
The Airbnb vs. Hotels debate seems to be the new big thing. But what can we learn from Airbnb that will make hotels better. Chip Conley is a hotelier, and his 10 tips are worth a read, some are more pragmatic than others but hoteliers should read the whole thing. If I can add one tip, it's a paraphrased line from Jeff Bezos on thinking with what won't change in your industry, and what won't change in hospitality industry is that people will want more places to stay and easier access to them.
Loyalty and cheaper rates direct, is it a race to the bottom? While I won't argue for a minute that giving perks to guests for booking direct is effective (and probably the only reason they do it) this article from Peter O'Connor is good food for thought. Advertising costs are going up, Meta-search is great but not cheap, AdWords are effective but the bids are going up, it leaves us with Facebook that can deliver cheap clicks. But where is this going to take us? How will hotel marketing go, what if things like Loyalty weren't only about cash rewards and cards with fancy names?
Websites had an order of magnitude improvement on CDs because they reduced friction to accessing the data. But, because we have become so accustomed to the friction on travel booking things like separate booking engines exist on hotel websites. We still think with odd paradigms in which it seems totally ok that people are bouncing around upward of 30-40 websites over a period lasting days or weeks before booking their hotel. But when that paradigm changes and we find one that dramatically reduces friction, we should embrace it.
In this long post from Hugo Burge from Momondo Group, Hugo discusses the importance of inspiration in travel marketing. It's a great read with many questions on where inspiration will come from in Travel. AdWords aren't really doing it, Facebook is better poised at doing it but Hugo thinks Metasearch can work on it. It's no secret that products like Google Photos were built to gather data for it. It is the holy grail in marketing and advertising. Cost efficient inspiration isn't that easy to come by.

Top Reasons for Choosing Niche Recruitment Firm
We all understand the importance of specialization. This is the reason we look for a specialist doctor or a specialized attorney whenever the need arises. But, many small businesses overlook the importance of specialization while choosing a recruiting agency.
Whenever you need to take help of a recruitment agency, we suggest choosing a niche based recruitment firm.
Why? Read on to know the answers.
They are more consultative – The niche firms are not the one running from one industry to the other industry. They are the one who lives and breathes in a particular industry. Even if they are serving different industries they have a specialized team for each industry working under one banner. As the niche recruitment firm dwells in a particular industry, they know every detail of the industry. So, they are the one you need to consult for the best professional suggestion about the trend and future of the market.
They have good relationship base – As the niche recruitment firms function in a well-defined small area they are aware of everyone in the market. These agencies are well-informed about the business organizations working in the industry. And, they also have the knowledge about the best performing candidates. So, it is good for both the parties to contact niche recruitment agencies. These can get contacted the best businesses to best candidates and vice versa. This is a great resource to dig into best businesses and candidates in a different niche.
You can better utilize time and energy with niche recruitment agencies – As the niche recruiters understand the industry very well, you do not need to explain them about your work and your requirements in very detail. You just need to share your businesses' unique values and they will be able to find the best-fitted candidate for your business. There's no need to waste time and energy in explaining your business, your requirements, and expectations from the employee you are going to hire.
The candidates are not interviewed superficially – The niche recruiters very well know the questions to be asked to dig into the knowledge and experience level of candidates. When you choose a recruiter who does not have a thorough knowledge of your industry, they will just look into the submitted resume and reference letter to shortlist the candidate. When proper interviews are conducted, you'll get the more skilled employee who can work for the benefit of your business. Quality employees are the foremost requirement for an efficient business performance.
Specialization always comes with great results. So, don't ignore niche specialization whenever choosing a service provider to hire or collaborate with. A small ignorance in business can put a big impact on results, overall performance and reputation of your business.

The Global Research Priorities - Global Governance (GRP-GG) is a network of 80 scholars from 12 departments across all four faculties of the University.
To learn more about those involved in the network please visit the people section of our website.
If you would like to join the Global Governance GRP please click here
Global Governance - A vision of the GRP
Because our society is acquiring more global dimensions and governance of global problems is becoming ever more complex, global governance is an exciting and expanding field of inter-disciplinary research.
Global governance is a subject of study that need not imply any particular theory or method. On the contrary, it is the richer for attracting and generating debate among researchers from diverse disciplines and backgrounds. Below we explain how and why global governance is a contested term, and at the same time, identify some key features of global governance scholarship as it relates to this GRP. We explain why such scholarship is increasingly important and complex, and the types of activities which this GRP particularly seeks to support.
The phrase 'global governance' was coined in the late 1980s and first became popularised through the Commission on Global Governance (1992-95).[1] Academic writings on 'global governance' – including some biting critiques of the concept – began to flow in the 1990s and have continued until the current day.
Recognising A Contested Concept
The use of the term 'global governance' does not suggest that this GRP endorses any normative vision of governance on a global scale. Rather scholars researching in this field come together because they recognise that there are increasing numbers of global issues where, as a matter of fact, governance efforts have evolved far beyond the traditional picture of individual States exclusively regulating their own distinct territories. 'Global governance' is thus less a framework of analysis and more a locus of critical debate.
Towards a Working Definition
Conceptions of 'global governance' in the academic literature are often vague and divergent. Nevertheless, for the purposes of defining the scope of coverage of this GRP, it is possible to set some parameters to the topic and identify some defining features of this area of study.
'Global' applies to conditions that manifest themselves beyond individual countries and regions. 'Global' problems cross borders and in some cases envelop the planet as a whole.
'Governance' refers broadly to constitutive practices and regulatory aspects of society: the formulation, application and review of rules, norms, standards and principles that are invoked to bring order and/or to effect change in a human collectivity. Combining the two terms, 'global governance' can refer to regulatory processes and constitutive practices that shape social relations on intercontinental and planetary scales.
The Increasing Importance and Complexity of Scholarship in this Field
The steep rise of global governance studies, particularly over the past twenty years, has been spurred by two broad trends:
1. Global aspects of society are becoming more important.
There is an increasingly long list of substantially globalised issues including climate change, employment patterns, energy provision, economic flows, food security, health and other social policy concerns, human rights, intercultural relations, new information and communications technologies, political mobilisations, trans-border production chains, and various developments in warfare.
2. Regulation and Constitutive Practices in contemporary (more global) society involves more than the nation-state.
'Governance' includes but also extends beyond individual 'governments'. Global governance is a term that recognises that a range of different actors in different fora play a part in regulating issues of global concern. These include:
- Global-level regulatory agencies, e.g. the International Monetary Fund or the World Health Organisation.
- National Governments - while the state today lacks a monopoly on governance, national governments retain major importance in global regulation, especially in widely prevalent (but under-researched) 'trans-governmental networks' of state officials, and other co-operative endeavours.
- Local authorities 'below' the state and regional apparatuses 'above' the state. These can also be relevant in the regulation of many global issues (e.g. fair trade cities, regional trading blocks etc.).
- Non-State actors such as business organisations and civil society actors can pay regulatory and constitutive roles in global affairs, for instance, as sponsors of global accounting standards or in creating regulatory frameworks for conflict-free diamonds.
The complexity of global governance arrangements is compounded by the fact that frameworks for global policy are increasingly taking on 'trans-sectoral' or 'multi-stakeholder' forms that combine official, commercial and civil society inputs. Examples include the Global Reporting Initiative (on corporate social responsibility) and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
It is therefore important to stress that 'global' describes what is governed more than where it is governed.
Global governance also goes beyond visible regulatory institutions. Scholarship in relation to global governance issues therefore also considers the 'governing' impacts on global circumstances of discourses and other embedded social structures. This might include the disciplining effects of, and resistance to important ideational paradigms (e.g. neoliberalism); the use of the term 'global' itself as a hegemonic discourse; and the impact of deeper inequalities and structures of class, gender, space, nation, race, sexuality, age etc. on the way in which global affairs are governed.
The Priorities of the Global Governance GRP
The goal of GRP-GG is to foster longer-term interdisciplinary interactions between academics, at Warwick and other universities, that will give rise to important new understandings and insights into issues of global governance.
To work towards this goal, the GRP will potentially co-ordinate and/or support any inter-disciplinary academic activity (events, research, dissemination etc.) that falls within our broad definition of global governance. We will prioritise activities that
- foster longer-term interactions between academics from different disciplines (as opposed to one-off events where no further interactions are envisaged)
- activities that create 'impact' e.g. the dissemination of existing inter-disciplinary research to non-academic audiences
- demonstrate how an inter-disciplinary approach will contribute significant added value to important issues of global concern
- have shown enthusiasm for engaging as widely as possible with academics from other disciplines through long term engagement with the GRP and/or other relevant networks at Warwick and beyond (e.g. through the Queen Mary/ Monash/ Warwick alliances).
- have potential for generating longer-term and/or larger scale inter-disciplinary research projects, including those that could potentially form the basis of an external funding application

Australia is set to see legendary rocker John Fogerty perform an unprecedented run of live shows this March and April.
The tour is titled Looking Out My Back Door: John Fogerty Performs Live! The Albums of Creedence Clearwater Revival and the name really says it all. These shows will see Fogerty perform one of his classic albums, either 'GREEN RIVER' or 'COSMO'S FACTORY', in their entirety. Fogerty's solo career is not to be forgotten either, he will also perform a bonus set of extraordinary Creedence Clearwater Revival classics alongside his solo hits.
Much of the past year has seen Fogerty and his band travelling the world and playing unforgettable, timeless music to the millions to much acclaim.
John Fogerty is a true American treasure, one of popular music's all-time greatest singers, guitar players, and songwriters. His remarkable career began in his hometown of El Cerrito, California, soon earning massive popular and critical success with the one and only Creedence Clearwater Revival. As leader of CCR, Fogerty forged a distinctive, groundbreaking sound all his own, equal parts blues, country, pop, rockabilly, R&B, swamp boogie, and Southern fried rock 'n' roll, all united by his uniquely evocative lyrical perspective.
Creedence Clearwater Revival called it quits long before (well no that long really but long enough) I was even born but that hasn't stopped me being familiar with a great deal of their music. They had a succession of hit singles and platinum certified albums that remains unparalleled in rock 'n' roll history. From 1968 to 1971 they released music to dominate rock and pop radio, penned by Fogerty, that included Proud Mary, Down On The Corner, Born on the Bayou, Have you Ever Seen The Rain and Fortunate Son as well as the stunning cover of Suzie Q.
'Green River' was the second of three CCR album releases in 1969 and became the band's first blockbuster. This is the album that contained 'Bad Moon Rising' and 'Green River' sitting alongside 'Lodi'. This album spent three weeks at the top of the Bilboard 2000 and confirmed Fogerty's status among the cream of American rock'n'roll artists.
'Cosmo's Factory' was the 1970 release that is currently certified 4x-platinum by the RIAA and has undoubtedly stood the test of time. This was the band's greatest critical triumph and biggest seller. I haven't heard of the album but I certainly know it because these are some of the tracks on the album: Travelin' Band, Who'll Stop The Rain, Run Through The Jungle, Up Around The Bend, Looking Out My Back Door and i Heard It Through The Grapevine.
The 1972 split of Creednece Clearwater Revival saw Fogerty embark on a solo career that would prove to be just as impressive.
The 1990's didn't see a great deal of Fogerty live but by 2004 he made a full return to the road and has since added some pretty impressive highlights to his career.
Still going strong in 2011, Fogerty and his always electrifying backing band bring it each time they step upon a stage, performing his mind-blowing body of work to generation after generation of adoring fans.

Beautiful poem and prayer. ❤
I took this photo whilst exploring a Canadian nature reserve. Whilst on this 24km trek, I had a thought about death..
I don't know how it was before,
Or how long I've got left, hope more,
Remember heart,
I'll pray I've made it better,
When I meet the floor.
