In The Empire Strikes Back, episode 5 of the Stars Wars films, the Jedi master Yoda utters one of the great lines in the series to Luke Skywalker during Luke's training: "Try not. Do … or do not. There is no try." On a similar note, in The Rock Sean Connery puts down Nicolas Cage with this: "Do your best? That's what all the losers say. Just do it"
The connection between these two movie lines is the real-world situation with Fabrikant. Fabrikant's failure begins with a management failure. The failing is one of not paying attention to the basics. In his talks with the industry, Maurice Tempelsman has warned for some time now that trouble was brewing in the diamond world. I daresay no one ever thought Fabrikant would be a firm where the trouble would overflow.
Some talk around the trade is that the Wal-Mart effect was the cause of Fabrikant's problem. The Wal-Mart effect is the demand by the buying staff at the giant retailer for better prices. Rather than lose the Wal-Mart business, the story goes that Fabrikant would make it up in volume. Bring this line of reasoning to Wal-Mart executives and they bristle. Their job is to press everyone for the best prices. They are not responsible for a vendor's profitability. That's the vendor's job.
Pricing—intelligent pricing—has to be competitive and produce a profit. Whoever sets prices needs to know what the total cost structure of the business is and price accordingly. Those who "buy" the business in hopes of future profitability are playing a different version of the infamous Dot-Com Bomb game. It's one thing to have a low-price-leader item as long as you're getting profitable margin on the remainder of the line. Many have rued the day they went down this path, and I suspect there are plenty more waiting in the wings to learn about the pitfalls of diamond memo programs that are so popular today.
Thin margins, lavish offices, and large staffs do not work well together. There are numerous examples in the diamond business where one or more of these "business judgments" have brought the players to the financial bar of justice.
A business school colleague once remarked, "It all comes down to management." Truer words were never spoken. Some failures blame Wal-Mart. Others blame unions. Still others blame a high cost structure or low margins. It's as though they are unable to navigate the treacherous waters they've chosen to enter but won't accept the responsibility for their own actions and decisions. They have to find someone or something to blame.
It's not Wal-Mart. It's not unions. Who made the margins low, given the cost structure? Who allowed the cost structure to continue when the business changed? Who moved my cheese, indeed?
A bad deal is a wake-up call. Walk away. Begin the process of reorganizing. It isn't easy, but then again, neither is failure.

well, I've finally gone and done it. I parked the old ford and camper and bought myself a bike – no not a harley- a schwinn*. so now I can save fuel for those weekend fishing trips to Georgetown Lake by "pedalling like crazy just to give my arse a ride" around Missoula like my great grandfather John O'Sullivan used to say to his granddaughter, Kay. The price of gas and the weight of this old bear finally convinced me to get out and ride. it feels great and it's just like they say- "it's easy. it's just like riding a bike."
*I indulged my comfort ratio immensely by exchanging the stock Schwinn seat for a huge saddle seat at The Bike Doctor. I highly recommend it. unfortunately, they did not appear to have any John Deere tractor seats available but times being what they are, i guess we all have to make sacrifices.

Writing to his dear friend Samuel Pearce in the autumn of 1795, William Carey told him: "Egotism is tedious..." [Letter to Samuel Pearce, October 2, 1795 in Periodical Accounts relative to the Baptist Missionary Society, I (1800), 215]. In the years that followed, Carey became something of a celebrity in the UK. He was very glad he was far away from most of it.
Why is egotism so tedious? Because to focus on the finite inevitably leads to boredom. But to focus on the Infinite God--infinite in glory, Infinite Beauty, infinite in kindness, infinite in goodness, Infinite Holiness--now that is a subject of which we shall never tire and it will take an eternity to plumb--and even then we shall not be done! And to be with men and women who are taken up with the Infinite God and filled with his glory and goodness and beauty--wow, what holy company, what fascinating fellowship--who would not want to be with such?
In this snippet of a comment, Carey joined that great theological conversation that had been going on since Origen postulated that the wicked angels fell because of satiety. Not so! But they and their fiendish leader are taken up with themselves--filled with egotistical pride--and what insufferable company to spend eternity with--eternal ennui--horrific the thought!

Marvels Black Panther held a premier in Hollywood last night. For a bunch of invitees, it was the public's first look at the movie. I scoured Twitter for some reviews this morning. Unlike most people, I didn't search for the positive reviews. Those were easy to find, they were everywhere. Instead, I decided to search for some negative reviews to see if the reviews held any merit or were just based in hatred for the basic concept and hype of the highly anticipated movie.
Honestly, I found no legitimate bad reviews as I searched Twitter. Of course people had bad things to say about the movie and the many positive reviews by movie goers who had actually seen the movie, but none of those things were based on the movie itself, because the people who had negative things to say about the movie, had not said they had actually seen the movie.
Every negative thing I've seen about Black Panther was based in something other than an actual review of the movie. Most negative things I saw were based in the word "Black" in the title of the movie. For some reason, just the mention of the word seems to bring out the very worst in some people. Almost like they're angry because they feel the word black excludes them from the party. It's the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. Here's the real dope. Black Panther is a Marvel movie based on a comic book. Just like Iron Man. Just like Captain America. Just like The incredible Hulk. If you love movies based on comic books (I always have, going all the way back to the original Superman movies), chances are, you're going to love Black Panther too. From the previews and trailers I've seen online, it has all of the markings of a great superhero film. A hero, a villain, and a fictional world. In a superhero movie those are the main ingredients needed to create something great. The only unknown factor is the chef that blends and mixes the ingredients together. In this case, the chef is Chef Marvel. I've eaten at Chef Marvel's restaurants before. I've always been exceptionally pleased by the food and the service at Chef Marvel's place.. I see no reason why this "Black Panther" meal served at Chef Marvel's diner will be any different.
My beef with some of the negative and positive from both sides of the spectrum who have not seen the movie yet, is that some people want to make Black Panther more than what it actually is. Black Panther is not an exclusion of white people. It's a Marvel superhero movie for everyone to enjoy, so angry for nothing people can stop complaining about that. Marvel Studios is a business. They don't want some money from some people. They want all money from all people! And on the other end of the argument, The Black Panther movie is also not the end to every problem facing the black community, or even the beginning of the end of problems facing the black community. So people looking for a hero to step in and mysteriously change their lives can stop thinking that is going to happen from simply watching a movie. What Black Panther is, is a Marvel Movie based in the fictional land of Wakanda. Nothing more, nothing less. Marvel movies are usually really good. It's not a huge stretch to expect the same from Black Panther. But let's keep things in focus. Black Panther's success or failure will effect the pockets of Marvel Studios and Marvel Executives…… positively or negatively. NOT YOURS! Let's just put things into a realistic perspective here. Black Panther is a movie. Likely, a great movie. But still, just a movie. Other than that, it's not really all that deep or life changing. Both sides of the Black Panther debate need to take a step back and calm down a little. The Black Panther movie will not change your life in one way or another. The only thing that can change your life IS YOU!


text: Hi, Going on the trend of "Best of" threads for every system, I thought I could contribute with some lovely Atari XL titles. It was my first real computer, after playing for a while on my great Colecovision console. Here are some games I remember playing: - Ultima IV: Certainly one of the best RPGs I've played in my life, mainly because it is oriented on personal growth and virtues. In today games, you just bash hordes of animals and humans without any moral problem, just to get more powerful. In Ultima, you had to watch your behaviour and go for more noble goals. - Alternate Reality: A fantastic first person RPG, insanely hard (at least it was from my child point of view). I spent hours watching the intro again and again. - The Eidolon: using the Lucasfilm's fractals engine, explore tunnels and find treasures. On the same model, there was Rescue on Fractalus, where you had to rescue lost pilots on a hostile planet (quite scary when you had to wait for a pilot to climb the ladder of your ship, and discover it was an alien instead!) - Ninja: Cool side-scrolling game, and nice tune by Rob Hubbard. - Boulderdash: dig your way through various caves without being crushed by rocks. Quite fun! - Montezuma's Revenge: Explore an ancient pyramid, find keys and avoid monsters. Hard but fun. - Archon: I love this game! You play on a chess board, by choosing either the light or dark forces. When two pieces of the opposite factions are on the same case, there is a realtime fight. Each piece has its strengths and weaknesses, some shoot projectiles, some run faster, some have zone effects... Really brilliant concept. In fact there were so many great games on this system, I could spend all the day trying to make an exhaustive listing. You can look at this page for a good selection of games: http://www.atarimania.com/top-atari-atari-400-800-xl-xe-_G_8_7.html I can't wait for my Pandora, in order to be able to revive all those great memories (there were many adventure games too, that's why the Pandora keyboard seemed so attractive to me) Have fun!

I am such a worry wart! I've been a worry wart my whole life. I don't want to even think about all the joy worry has stolen from my life. When I played violin, I remember spending hours and hours practicing until I got a passage just right. However when the time came for me to perform the piece, I was often too busy worrying about the passage to actually enjoy playing the piece! Sometimes I wish I could go back to the past to those days and try not worry so much. However,all I can do now, is not let worry steal any more of my life.
I've been worrying so intensely about things I didn't even notice the nest of finches on my front porch. My husband Michael has been in deep thought as well so it was sort of a surprise when we noticed yesterday the nest contained five little birds. They are almost ready to fledge which means I missed watching the mother put food in their beaks as they grew. I'm mad at myself for missing this because I could have looked right out my front window and watched. So again, worry has stolen me seeing an amazing part of God's creation.
While my tendency toward worry doesn't have anything whatsoever to do with my brain injury, all my worrying wears me out much faster now than before. I'm sad about missing the finches but I don't want to miss anything else God sends my way. I can't help remembering the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:31-33 (The Inclusive Bible):
"Stop worrying, then, over questions such as 'What are we to eat,' or 'what are we to drink' or 'what are we to wear?' Those without faith are always running after those things. God knows everything you need. Seek first God's reign, and God's justice, and all these things will be given to you besides."
Thinking about how I can help bring God's justice and reign to this world is certainly more valuable than letting worry steal joy from my life. I think I'd better go watch those finches on my front porch before they fly away.

Buy various electronic devices with Amazon voucher
Almost everyone these days, except people from the older generation and toddlers, has and is able to use various electronic devices. The main reason why it is so, is that they are developed in such way that a variety of people learn to use them using only their intuition. Hence, in most of them miscellaneous courses or even reading the user's manual is not important. Demand on similar commodities is still improving, which can be explained due to the fact that they provide us a possibility to solve miscellaneous tasks significantly quicker and comfortable.

This universe is dynamic – ever changing. Nothing here stays forever. Everything we see is changeful, fleeting, impermanent, ephemeral, or perishable. Nothing our physical eyes can see in it is ageless (…ਜੋ ਦੀਸੈ ਚਲਣਹਾਰੁ: Jo deesai chalanahaaru (sggs 31).
The Gurbani tells us there is the ageless Hukam (Divine Order; Cosmic Order; Law of Nature, etc.) in the Universe.
The thought of "Hukam" is very essential part of the the Gurbani's Teaching (Gurmati). Accordingly, Baabaa Nanak made it very clear in the outset of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib (SGGS) that everything and everybody is subject to the Divine "Hukam", whether we know it not.
- ਹੁਕਮੈ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਸਭੁ ਕੋ ਬਾਹਰਿ ਹੁਕਮ ਨ ਕੋਇ ॥: Everyone is subject to Hukam; no one is beyond (exempt or outside of) Hukam. (sggs 1).
Other aspects of the Divine "Hukam" as indicated in the Gurbani include: a) It is all prevailing; b) it is beyond any mundane description; c) it is to be accepted (ਭਾਣਾ ਮੰਨਣਾਂ) – to live according to the Gurmati, using our senses or physical receptors according to the Gurmati …
Those who live the Hukam are called Gurmukhs (the followers of Truth, whose mind is linked to Antar-Aatmaa or whose Akkal – ਅਕਲ, intellect – follows Gurbani and restrains the mind instead of following the mind. He is Sach Santokhee, his state is that of "Ik Mann Ik Chit", ਮਾਇਆ ਵਿਚ ਉਦਾਸੀ…).
Those who don't live the Hukam or oppose (ਵਿਰੋਧ – ਭਾਣੇ ਵਿਚ ਨਹੀ ਚਲਣਾਂ) the Hukam are called Manmukhs (the deniers of Truth, whose mind escapes through senses and run after sense-objects or whose Akkal (intellect) follows the mind's dictates, ਮਾਇਆ ਨਾਲ ਜੁੜਿਆ…).
These two different groups of people live together on earth. However, the Gurbani asks us to become the Gurmukhs and live the Hukam (ਚਾਲਹਿ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਹੁਕਮਿ ਰਜਾਈ ॥: Chaalahi Gurmukhi hukami rajaaee, sggs 227).
But how can one do the Lord's "Hukam" ("Bhaanaa Mannanaa..." )? To be abided in "Hukam" is accepting life as it presents to oneself. It is simply saying "Yes, I accept" (ਭਾਣਾ ਮੰਨਣਾਂ). In other words, it is just accepting one's all joy and suffering as the Divine Hukam or Bhaanaa…
- ਸੋਈ ਸਿਆਣਾ ਸੋ ਪਤਿਵੰਤਾ ਹੁਕਮੁ ਲਗੈ ਜਿਸੁ ਮੀਠਾ ਜੀਉ ॥: Only that person is wise and honorable, unto whom the Hukam seems sweet (sggs 108).
We all are endowed with Vivek-Budhi (an innate sense of right and wrong, discerning intellect, discriminating intellect…). Animals lack it. This is what separates us humans from animals. Therefore, we humans carry tremendous responsibility to abide by the Hukam. (ਕਬੀਰ ਰਾਮੈ ਰਾਮ ਕਹੁ ਕਹਿਬੇ ਮਾਹਿ ਬਿਬੇਕ ॥, sggs 1374 ).
In nutshell, to live, accept or do the Hukam is simply living according to the Gurmati (Gur-Giaan, Divine Virtues or Wisdom of the Gurbani…) – using our senses or physical receptors according to the Gurmati…
To put it otherwise, to abide in the Divine Hukam is, in essence, the same as to be connected to the Shabad, Naam or Bani. In other words, understanding of Hukam is the Realization of Shabad, Naam or Bani. But, as the Gurbani tells us, to realize Hukam, one has to become the Gurmukh.
- ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਹੁਕਮੁ ਪਛਾਣੁ ॥੮॥: Through the Guru-Shabad, recognize the Hukam. ||8|| (sggs 223).
- ਸਚਾ ਤੇਰਾ ਹੁਕਮੁ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਜਾਣਿਆ ॥: True is the Divine Hukam, and it is known to the Gurmukh (sggs 144).
- ਏਕੋ ਨਾਮੁ ਹੁਕਮੁ ਹੈ ਨਾਨਕ ਸਤਿਗੁਰਿ ਦੀਆ ਬੁਝਾਇ ਜੀਉ ॥੫॥: Eko Naamu Hukamu hai Nanak satiguri deeaa bujhaai jeeou ||5|| (sggs 72).

Death or Debt? National Estimates of Financial Toxicity in Persons with Newly-Diagnosed Cancer
This longitudinal study used the Health and Retirement Study from 1998–2014. Persons ≥50 years with newly-diagnosed malignancies were included, excluding minor skin cancers. Multivariable generalized linear models assessed changes in net worth and debt (consumer, mortgage, home equity) at 2 and 4 years after diagnosis (year+2, year+4), controlling for demographic and clinically-related variables, cancer-specific attributes, economic factors, and mortality. A 2-year period before cancer diagnosis served as a historical control.
Across 9.5 million estimated new diagnoses of cancer from 2000–2012, individuals averaged 68.6±9.4 years with slight majorities being married (54.7%), not retired (51.1%), and Medicare beneficiaries (56.6%). At year+2, 42.4% depleted their entire life's assets, with higher adjusted odds associated with worsening cancer, requirement of continued treatment, demographic and socioeconomic factors (ie, female, Medicaid, uninsured, retired, increasing age, income, and household size), and clinical characteristics (ie, current smoker, worse self-reported health, hypertension, diabetes, lung disease) (P<.05); average losses were $92,098. At year+4, financial insolvency extended to 38.2%, with several consistent socioeconomic, cancer-related, and clinical characteristics remaining significant predictors of complete asset depletion.
This nationally-representative investigation of an initially-estimated 9.5 million newly-diagnosed persons with cancer who were ≥50 years of age found a substantial proportion incurring financial toxicity. As large financial burdens have been found to adversely affect access to care and outcomes among cancer patients, the active development of approaches to mitigate these effects among already vulnerable groups remains of key importance.

Hi! Is there a list anywhere of the settings or items that do not migrate from the old quizzes to the new? Things such as instructions and time limits.
Hi! Is there a list anywhere of the settings or items that do not migrate from the old quizzes to the new? Things such as instructions and time limits.
Hi Kate Twoey,
I am not aware of any document listing this specific information. We continue to work on the remaining item/question types and the plan is that all of them will migrate successfully (most of them do so now). Title and instructions will also migrate but settings, such as time limits and feedback, will not. Migrating settings is still under consideration but a lower priority than the content.
Additionally, the "Text (no question)" type in Canvas will migrate to Quizzes.Next as a stimulus. By default, stimulus without associated questions are not shown to the student, so there will be a need for instructors to review assessments at some point between content migration and use with learners.

Local newspaper owner expands to printing operation
John and Jennifer Garrett, co-owners and publishers of Community Impact Newspaper, announced June 19 that they will begin a new printing company to service the publication.
Garrett said he has filed paperwork with the state to create Impact Printing Co. He said he hopes to break ground on a new $10 million facility in Pflugerville near SH 130 inside the 130 Commerce Center, which houses Community Impact Newspaper's headquarters, in July and to have the facility completed by May. Garrett said if everything goes according to plan, he hopes to be printing the paper in August 2016.
"[Bringing printing in-house] ensures to the reader that the product is going to get better," Garrett said. "We now control so much more of the production quality."
Garrett said printing the product in-house will allow for more customized editorial and advertising content.
"For local businesses [printing the paper locally]improves efficiency and allows them to better market their businesses to potential customers," he said.
Garrett said the facility will employ about 14-18 people at first with the potential to grow later.
"These skills are very hard [to obtain]," he said. "Being able to give these folks jobs is very rewarding to us."
Community Impact Newspaper is distributed in 20 markets in the Austin, Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth metro areas. The Garretts began the newspaper in 2005.

Cycling in Amsterdam: 7 Things to Know Before You go
Not only is it difficult to cross the street in Amsterdam without getting almost run over by a cyclist, but actually taking on the roads as one yourself, now that's just asking to get yourself in trouble.
I consider myself a pretty decent cyclist. Back home in Melbourne, I don't own a car – there's really no need if you live inner city – to get around, I usually ride or catch public transport. I also ride a lot with one of my friends who lives close by, and it just so happened that she was my travel bud in Amsterdam. So hiring a bike for the day seemed like the perfect way to explore the beautiful streets of Amsterdam.
Or so we thought...
Riding around Amsterdam is a little harder than you'd expect. I mean, the locals are absolute experts. Thinking about it now, these people have been riding these streets since they learned to walk. So riding around the locals was trialling at times. I definitely came away from the whole experience with a few tips and tricks up my sleeve.
Cycling in Amsterdam: 7 things to know before you go
1. Give way to the right – This might be obvious to some, but not to us Australians! We drive on the left, like the British, so riding in Amsterdam is the opposite, making it a little bit more difficult.
2. Don't hesitate – Make a decision, and go with it. If you hesitate, you'll likely make a local angry, confuse someone or cause an accident. Having said that, make sure you've got your wits about you.
3. Follow the rules – Although you might see locals doing what they want, follow the rules and you'll be safe. Don't run red lights, don't do a u-turn in the middle of a busy street, stick to the rules and you'll survive to tell the tale.
4. Watch out for tram tracks – This is an obvious one for me, coming from Melbourne, a city full of trams and bikes. If you're not used to tram tracks, you have to be very careful around them. As silly as it sounds, tram tracks are about the same size as a bike tire, making them a very easy way to get your tire caught and you flying across the road into oncoming traffic. I've known one-too-many friends who've had pretty hectic bike accidents because their wheel got caught in a tram line. Take on tram tracks at a sharp angle, and you'll be fine.
5. Signal – Even if you think no one is around. Let other motorists, cyclists and pedestrians know where you're going. If you're making a right-hand turn, give everyone around you a long and obvious hand gesture.
6. Lock up your bike – As safe as Amsterdam is, people steal stuff. Lock it up.
7. Stay out of the way – Be totally aware of your surroundings, always. Make room for other cyclists, don't come to a halt in the middle of a bike lane, keep to the right so others can overtake, and try to keep up.
Have you ever hired a bike in Amsterdam? Or would you give it a go?

Read our sewing machine reviews and compare with other models.
With a price tag that ranges between $100 and $200, the Brother XR9500PRW Project Runway will help you enjoy the numerous benefits of sewing at home without having to worry about going beyond your budget. This entry-level machine is very often used in sewing classes because it has the added advantage of being one of the lightest and easiest to use. When it comes to built-in stitch designs, the Brother XR9500PRW sports two times more than the Project Runway CS5055. Best of all, it even comes with a wide range of features including an oversized table for larger projects such as quilting.
While it is undoubtedly one of the most popular machines on the market, the Brother XR9500PRW does have a few downsides to its name. For example, some users found that the light was much too dim for them to use the machine in poorly-lit rooms. A few people also had some issues with the tension setting which resulted in poorly-formed loops. One user complained about the fact that the thread kept jamming and consequently produced poor and weak stitches. This, however, was an isolated case that was not reported by other customers. Other than these drawbacks, the XR9500PRW received mostly positive reviews.
Our Review:
Size and Weight: 5/5
Weighing no more than 9.9 pounds, this particular model is one of the lightest on the market, which makes it easy to carry around, and thus enables you to easily carry it to your sewing class. Additionally, the machine only measures 20.3 x 12.7 x 17.6 inches, which makes it quite compact. By this token, you'll also be able to carry and use your sewing machine in just about any room of the house. This also makes it easy for you to set it on any table of your choice.
In spite of its lightweight feature, however, the apparatus is quite stable and doesn't budge, hence guaranteeing a smooth and comfortable sewing motion.
Ease of Use: 5/5
This sewing machine is equipped with a computerized stitch selection. This particular feature makes it extremely easy for users to switch between stitches: indeed, all you have to do is enter the desired number on the touchpad and the machine will instantly shuffle to the stitch of your choice. The backlit screen is oversized, enabling you to easily shift between options. Thanks to the unique flip-switch, users can also navigate through the 55 built-in alphanumeric stitches that can be used for monograming or lettering.
Many people complain about the fiddly threading systems that are often found in lower-quality machines. However, the Brother XR9500PRW even comes with an automatic needle threader to largely facilitate this step. Instead of spending several long minutes trying to fit the thread, you can simply touch the lever and allow the thread to slide through the needle. As far as ease of use is concerned, this particular model also comes with a built-in thread cutter to help users save time- something that can come in quite handy for bulkier projects. The machine even boasts of an automatic tension feature which you can adjust according to the fabric that you're working with.
Extra Features: 4.5/5
The Brother XR9500PRW Sewing Machine can be used for both sewing and quilting. While it is certainly on the compact size, the apparatus does come with a wide table. Not only does this provide you with ample elbow space during your sewing sessions but the wide space also enables you to indulge in bulkier projects like quilting. This way, you won't have to fold the fabric over or sew it inch by inch. This will undoubtedly help you finish your project even faster than anticipated.
This machine can deliver a maximum sewing speed of 850 stitches per minute, which is quite impressive for its affordable price. It even comes with a Feed Dog as well as a Standard Presser Feet that is already included in the boxed packaging. With 100 built-in stitches, this item also includes a variety of additional features such as an automatic presser foot pressure adjustment, drop feed/free motion, built-in quilting stitches as well as an accessory storage area.
Users will also be glad to learn that the apparatus even includes a Free Arm to help you effortlessly sew sleeves and arm cuffs. You won't even have to worry about your thread jamming or bunching up thanks to the jam-resistant drop in top-bobbin. Several accessory feet also come with the sewing machine and these include the buttonhole, zipper, zigzag, overcasting, button sewing, monogramming and blind stitch foot. The motor is powerful enough to sew through tougher materials. It is also relatively quiet.
Overall: 5/5
While it does have a couple of minor drawbacks, this particular machine is oozing with handy features. Its price coupled with the wide range of features make this apparatus quite a recommended purchase. Indeed, the Project Runway comes with 100 stitch designs, which is double than what you'll get with the -more expensive- Janome DC2014.
With this machine you'll not only cut back on expenses, but it is also designed to provide you with several hours of entertainment. Because it's so easy to use, beginners can easily learn the ropes and familiarize themselves with various sewing techniques before graduating to a more powerful machine.

Monogamy? Oh no, not from me.
As you may or may not have noticed, I updated my "friends" list on the side. Although I'm sure i missed a few, this was basically a way of divulging those whom I stalk. Take a close look. You might see your best friend that I've never met, your sister who doesn't even know me, or possibly even your husband's blog. But don't hate. I never committed to a monogamous blogging relationship. And I never will. Take it or leave it... this is the DTR. I got enough love to go around. So don't dump me now (Laura Anderson!! ha ha!)

Like Laura, a little sad that none of my friends/family made the cut. We all know that I keep tabs on Yosh's sister. I think Yosh spit some Coke Zero when I said that I'd noticed she'd moved into her new house. I'll have to introduce you to some of my blogging buds.

Some days New York is the perfect shade of blue. The sky cuts so clear above the city it appears to hang low, as if you could reach out and brush your hand against its soft, cerulean facade. Maybe you could even ride an elevator to the top floor of a midtown tower and step right into it - just be swallowed up in the blueness of it all.
The deep, deep blueness of it all.

Admit it: at some point in your life, you've had a silly surf-travel fantasy. Whether it was a rum-soaked fortnight with Anna Kournikova on Tavarua or a frostbitten slog with a bunch of stinky dudes on the edge of Greenland, a dream is a dream, and who's to say yours was dumber than mine?
As a teenager, my fantasy was to discover a pristine right-hander in the Seychelles, an idyllic Indian Ocean chain known for small, bad waves. Honeymooners and natural beauty, yes, but spitting tubes? Hardly.
My dad had an ancient issue of Surfer magazine showing a guy longboarding on clean, chest-high Seychelles lefts. For a 14-year-old accustomed to booties and fullsuits, those waves were ideal—tame, warm, inviting—and I was determined to go there someday, because if the Seychelles had a perfect left-hander, there had to be a perfect right nearby.
A few years back, magazine editors laughed when I said I was planning a Seychelles sojourn. There's no surf there, they promised. Too fickle…too expensive…too windy…you'll get skunked, for sure. Theoretically, I was more likely to find surf on Mars (or Greenland, for chrissakes, but that's another story).
But because those editors dissed my trip, I vowed to conversely diss them by scoring where no writer or surf-traveler had ever scored before.
Descending into its small airport, my particular Seychelles island had green summits wreathed in cloud, veined with waterfalls, eschewing traditional geography of a traditional place. Its white-sand beaches were flawless, fronted by turquoise lagoons, backed by dense groves of coconut palms and takamaka trees—historically, Seychelles is reputed to be the original site of the Garden of Eden, and upon first glance, I could see why.
The Edenic aura was enhanced further when, moments before touchdown, flying over a reef pass not far from shore, I spotted a classic, telltale whitewater symmetry—it was a perfect right-hander looping along the reef, eventually expiring into a bluey-green channel, where two dark men fished from a pirogue.
The wave seemed fake, like one of those kitschy paintings hawked to tourists in Waikiki, and my Seychelles hideaway was a decidedly unmodern place, sunny and slow, way off the surf-travel radar, sunken into the periphery of an equatorial ocean long revered for its treasure, its piracy, its mystique. But not for its rare barrels, which, if you listened to magazine editors, were completely nonexistent.
Next time, I'll bring Anna.

The day Savile told me: 'You wouldn't guess how many girlfriends I've had'
IN September 2001, I wrote that "clad in a gob-smacking suit emblazoned with Superman cartoons", Jimmy Savile had "glided in the door of the clinic in Clontarf like true royalty".
Some 13 years on, the man's false sense of entitlement around the Central Remedial Clinic is what remains strongest in my mind.
Clearly, he considered it to be 'his' clinic and the staff to be 'his' staff.
That is my chief memory of our encounter, along with Savile's peculiar demeanour during our interview: his odd rambling speeches and the almost pathetic clinging to what he clearly saw as his glory days – but which has far, far more sinister connotations today.
"You wouldn't guess how many girlfriends I've had," he told me in an outburst in the middle of that interview in which we had been discussing another topic entirely.
They were 'countless', he claimed.
In my ignorance, I smiled politely, thinking that the man must be delusional.
He was. They were not 'girlfriends' but victims.
At the age of 74, the former 'Top of the Pops' presenter was a shrunken and apparently harmless figure in that ludicrous suit, mountains of gold 'geeza' jewellery and his trademark string vest which, as usual, revealed far too much chest hair but, for reasons I can't recall, he had changed into a purple polyester shell suit for the pictures that accompanied the interview.
He would reach out to children along our tour of the CRC and try to engage with them but they appeared to be naturally wary of him.
Shambling along in a tour of the facility, it was the unwitting board members who seemed to be bursting with pride over their association with Savile.
The CRC users, and even staff, seemed to keep their distance from him. It may have been awe but quite possibly it was radar.
The man exuded an undeniable and irrepressible creepiness and it now seems incredible that the authorities in institutions and hospitals everywhere did not pick up on that.
Given all we now know, he was almost a cartoon depiction of a classic paedophile who might hang around a playground looking for kicks. The only thing missing from the cliche was the raincoat. But he more than made up for that in the 'Superman' suit.
His visit to Dublin – his first in over 21 years he informed me – came four days before the devastating September 11 attacks on the Twin Towers.
Savile smelled heavily of old cigars and I sat with him for over 40 excruciating minutes in the middle of the clinic's canteen, wondering how I could extract myself because it wasn't so much of an interview as an ordeal.
If there was ever charm there, Savile certainly hadn't turned it on that day.
He would plunge into morose silences in between rambling sentences about his great deeds for charity and boasts about his great relationship with Lady Valerie Goulding, the founder of the CRC.
He never made eye-contact but would then burst into little speeches of hideous, toe-curling flirtatiousness which were quite obviously automatic and mindless – his party piece. The patter he believed had stood him in good stead down the decades.
To put it very simply, it was very obvious that he was not a particularly nice guy. He had no warmth and age appeared not to have downsized his considerable ego.
He had raised over £40m for charity in his lifetime, he said, repeating this several times.
Though patently frail, he claimed he was "as fit as he ever was" but admitted that he enjoys staying in bed more often these days.
"I prefer to stop in bed all day, light the cigar and receive the callers. The phone never stops ringing," he said.
It was a sign of his narcissism that he compared himself with the Pope.
"The Pope and I – we're the same; we never get a day off. We've both learned to live with it at this stage. It's not a job – it's a way of life."
The relief I felt when I finally managed to dislodge myself was palpable.
I hadn't even wanted an autograph for old time's sakes, when I was one of the children sitting in almost unbearable breathlessness in front of 'Jim'll Fix It', dreaming of a trip in a hot-air balloon.
When the sickening details emerged very shortly after his death about Savile's activities, with over 100 victims coming forward, the CRC stated that Savile had never been left alone with children or patients at the clinic.
If he had been, there could be little doubt that this highly dangerous sexual predator would have swooped.

Great location, but was a bit surprised when the sofa bed was not a pull out sleeper sofa and was actually just a sofa. Exhaust fan in bathroom was VERY dusty so we had to clean it ourselves. Queen size bed in the bedroom was very comfortable. View of the city is amazing and the pool was great!
Loved it!
We had a fantastic stay. The owners were great to work with and we loved every minute.
The Perfect Chicago Get-Away.
This well-designed apartment is on the 40th floor of a modern high-rise. It is well-equipped with washer/dryer, cooking facilities, all of which did not appeared to have been used (we used them....). It is very quiet, despite the construction site across the street. From your balcony, you get a bird's eye view of an amazing process, which, by mid-2020, likely will result in balconies at your level looking right back at you. There is a Whole Foods on the ground floor, a Giordano's 3 blocks away, Rosebud's on Rush, and Michigan Avenue 4 blocks away. It's a great location, a very comfortable place, and the permanent tenants are really nice.
If you ask, the concierge will hold your bags if you arrive early or leave late.
If Uber asks - it's One West Superior Place.
Great location!
This is close to many of the sight you'll want to see in Chicago. The apartment is beautiful and has lots of perks like a gym, a pool and a Whole Foods. We really enjoyed our stay here.
Situated in the quintessential Chicago locale, our community brings you city living at its best. Oak Street, Michigan Avenue and the Gold Coast are steps away, offering the finest local fare. The atmosphere is undeniably superior and it is all right outside your door. Whole Foods is located on the ground floor of the building, making your grocery shopping a breeze! With a Walkability score of 100, there are no limits to where you weekend getaway will take you!

Brynn[edit | edit source]
Our data showed Brynn to be not quite as angelic as intended. Her pride on the line, she's decided to improve some of her basics.

2014. 6 months gone. "Last post was in January! What the hell have ya been doin'?" I heard that with a side of fuck off. Fuck it. Saying your busy sucks. No one believes it anyway, except for the people in my life who'd rather see me more... so they say.
Instead of trying to write what's been going on, with a cut up, charred up middle finger to my Mac, I'm gonna let the pics speak for themselves. Who really reads anymore anyway [sic]?
All I will say is that I'm very, very fortunate (some say very, very ignorant) to announce the opening of the Burbank Moto & Spagetty's Garage service, repair, fab, build and paint center just two blocks from the retail/parts "division."
Come see us at 1819 W. Burbank. We'll leave the Meatball out for ya!
Oh, and we'll see ya in the booth at Born Free 6.

Hi Leon, I wanted to know something about transposition. I understand intervals already but how do I know whether to transpose up or transpose down when writing music for transposing instruments like the english horn?
This is a great questions and one that stumps many composers even after they have learned how to figure it out.
The part you and many other people are getting confused on is written pitch (the pitch notated on the page) versus the sounding pitch (also known as concert pitch).
Every instrument that is a transposing instrument, has a sounding pitch that is different from its written pitch.
On the english horn the sounding pitch is a fifth below the written pitch, therefore the written pitch is a fifth above the sounding pitch.
The easy way to remember how to write for any of the transposing instruments is to think the sounding name of the instrument equals written C. Use the phrase: "I hear (insert name of transposition), when I see C"
For example: The english horn is an F transposing instrument. F sounding equals C written. Therefore: "I hear F, when I see C". So an english horn has a written C it sounds a fifth below as an F.
To go the other way or "I want to hear X, so I need to add (written pitch interval) to get the correct written note" you need to decide the pitch you want first.
Let's say you want to hear an E-flat as the sounding pitch. So "I want to hear Eb, so I need to add a perfect fifth up to get the correct written note".
The best tool you can get at this point is a good orchestration book, such as Samuel Adler's The Study of Orchestration or the equally good Alfred Blatter's Instrumentation and Orchestration which are great references for this exact type of question.
I hope this answers your question Burningwood. If you need any more help email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Do you have a burning music question you want Leon to answer? Send in your questions for Ask Leon to email@example.com and your question could be answered on the next blog post or in the One Minute Music Lesson video.
Thanks for the question, and keep up the good practice,
Leon Harrell

Preceding its final sale campaign announcement, Lantern has revealed divestment of the last asset in its portfolio, Sydenham's General Gordon Hotel, for a super-premium $18.1 million.
The General has bypassed a public sale process and been bought by an unnamed Sydney publican, in conjunction with property operation White & Partners.
The listed Lantern Hotel Group's (LTN) ASX announcement stated that the figure of $18.1 million represented a whopping too-good-to-refuse 69 per cent premium to the hotel's book value as at 30 June, 2016.
The sale through Ray White is by way of a 'put and call' option, with the options expected to be exercised and contracts exchanged by 18 March, ahead of completion by the end of March.
Located overlooking Sydenham station, in the booming Marrickville precinct, the General is ranked in the Top 200 of Liquor & Gaming's current list of NSW venues – up 60 places from the first quarter of 2016.
White & Partners were part owners of the Tennyson Hotel with John Feros' JDA Hotels, recently sold at auction to Justin Hemmes for a record-breaking $37.05 million.
PubTIC was unable to contact Feros in time for publication, but sources suggest JDA may be the partner at the new property, and likely the operator for the business.
Ray White Asia-Pacific director Andrew Jolliffe reiterated the 'perfect storm' continues to make rain for investors, led by consumer confidence and discretionary income, aided by modest petrol prices and a well-positioned Aussie dollar, and bolstered by bargain-rate senior debt.
"[This] all suggests to us some continuity and reliability around the current internal and external investor sentiment regarding the asset class," says Jolliffe.
LTN still has Surry Hills' Crown Hotel on the market, but announcement of its sale is expected in coming days.

The hotel's food and beverage offerings include its flagship restaurant Coffee House, which serves signature Malaysian cuisines as well as a selection of Western cuisines; the Japanese restaurant serving authentic Japanese cuisine with a slight modern and local twist and a lobby lounge known as the Atrium Lounge that serves signature coffees, delectable cakes and evening cocktails.

Event planners and MICE crowds will be impressed to find that the hotel's magnificent pillar-less Grand Ballroom houses KL's largest LED screen which measures an astonishing 9.5 metres height and 9.6 metres in length.
The hotel is located at a convenient reach from a host of tourist attractions like the KLCC Twin Towers, KL Tower, KL Bird Park and Aquaria KLCC. Guests wanting to get to the city centre may book the scheduled free shuttle service to the city at the Concierge desk on Level 9.

We imported Grizz from Poland in March 2018 and he is completely amazing. He is so gentle and loving. One of the most teddy bear like dogs I've ever met. He loves people and adores kids. Super laid back and good with all other dogs including other studs. He is quick to learn and loves to please. The kids can easily walk him anywhere and he is not pushy or hard headed. Grizz is just the total package for a male. He has the structure of a gorgeous show line and the big solid build of a working dog. He has a great head and a stunning coat. His coloring will
come in more and more as he ages and we are so looking forward to what this boy can do. We had a lot to measure this guy up to and we are so impressed that he actually surpassed all of our hopes and expectations. The day after Grizz arrived we took him to one of the kids soccer games and he was amazing. He had about 6-7 kids that were taking turns taking his leash and running around with with and loving one him. He took it all in stride and just sucked up all the attention. You never would have guessed that this was a dog that had just travelled the world the day before and was with people he didn't even know. He really is a one of a kind dog. Grizz has just an amazing coat. It is so full and long. He has a gait that is just gorgeous to watch and he has such a proud stance. Be sure to watch Grizz and we will be posting more pictures of him on a sunny day so his colors really shine. We honestly couldn't be any more happy with this guy than we are and we think that he is going to produce some amazing puppies.

It turns out that Ryan Gosling was deeply affected by his parents' divorce!
The court documents prove that the actor's dad Thomas and mom Donna accused each other of physical and mental abuse that can be very damaging psychologically to young children.
Gosling revealed that when he was a child he once set the family home on fire and that he also had a habit of throwing the cat in the dryer. The actor admitted that "[I]felt like I was going crazy as a kid," adding that he was also somehow aware that there was something "messed up" with his brain.
Indeed, Ryan went through hell as a kid because of his parents and even described the divorce finalized in 1996 as "everything demolished."
After twenty years of marriage and two children, his parents split in 1994.
At that point, Gosling had already been dealing with ADHD most of his life and was taking meds.
According to the court documents, Thomas accused Donna of cheating on him but continued to live with her and the kids for the following three months until he was forced to leave after physically assaulting Donna.
In the end, both parents were charged with assault after Thomas also accused Donna of attacking him!
In addition, Donna claimed that "[Thomas'] position was that he would make life miserable for [her] and the children."
The documents even revealed the shocking detail that Thomas believed his then 15-year-old son was "obligated" to repay him for investing in his career.
Donna believed this was what ultimately ruined their father-son relationship.
"Ryan was unable to deal with the gossips surrounding this court proceeding. His schoolmates…were approaching him and questioning whether or not it was true his father was suing him," the mother stated in the court documents.
Thomas, on the other hand, claimed Donna was the one who turned his son against him.
Did you know Ryan Gosling had such a turbulent childhood?
