Carney Lansford and the cosmos.
My middle school science teacher was a die-hard Giants fan. Our class listened to the '89 NLCS game 5 clincher against the Cubs and Mark Grace on a portable radio while she scored the game on the chalkboard. (do these specimens of archaic learning still exist? and does anyone actually score a game anymore?) I pretended to read about black holes and sun spots while my eyes glossed over, staring at absolutely nothing with a slack-jawed bovine expression. Someone had drawn a heavy metal logo on page 237. Perhaps they were enjoying my current landscape of foggy faux-meditation when they had a primal urge to draw something, anything.
"Yesterday we explicitly agreed to quietly do our work as long as we could listen to the game." she said.
We knew that this was a faulty agreement as she was going to listen to the game regardless of whether we agreed to the shoddy terms or not, and besides, some of us weren't Giants fans. I couldn't give a toss about the Giants or science at that time as I was more interested in girls and boobs; not necessarily in that order.
We had spoken about Carney Lansford a few days earlier and his time with the Red Sox. Her boyfriend was a "Southie" from Boston; a second generation working-class, red-haired Irish Mick from a long line of drunks, thieves and lowlifes. He had escaped the sludge and went to some long forgotten East Coast university and he and his stoner buddies would go to Fenway Park on weekends where they had acquired an affinity for Lansford. Of course, she thought all of this was cute and clever and was terribly pleased by it.
"No offense Mrs. Cleveland, but besides Will Clark your team just isn't very likable. Rick Rueschel looks like a fat, middle-aged divorced dad and Scott Garrelts looks like a skinny nose-picking dork."
It was true. Both starting pitchers looked like the antithesis of an athlete but the perfect working-class early 20th century farm boy baseball player. Some fans, probably the nerdy, isolationist type can get behind that "average joe" persona and root for them passionately, but in the era of super athletes like Bo Jackson and Deion Sanders I would always inexplicably choose the latter over the former.
"Let us not forget that your friend Carney Lansford looks like an accountant," she said as she swallowed what was supposed to look an aspirin to the general viewer. A few classmates had theorized that she popped vicodin on occasion because of her seemingly more "relaxed" state as the day wore on. This wasn't a great choice as it ultimately led to bouts of throwing up in the garbage can.
Baseball card time travels.
As I pull this baseball card from the pile it takes me on a long forgotten trip back to the 1990's and the bottomless pit of purgatory known as Jr. High School. Everyone was growing into themselves, girls were getting boobs, fashion was suddenly important, and guys were suddenly sporting the haircut that concocted the term "business in the front, party in the back."
The mullet was a popular hairstyle in the early 90's as it was worn by everyone from rock stars, movie stars, wrestlers and even baseball players. With the 90's being the cultural dreg that it was, it seemed the perfect time for the white-trash aesthetic to finally be embraced by the mainstream. Celebrities who rocked the hairstyle included John Stamos, David Bowie, Billy Ray Cyrus and George Clooney. My cousin had his mullet for YEARS complete with an army style flat-top. I still give him shit for it to this day.
I remember a friend of mine from Jr. High, Michael, would constantly run a comb through his dirty blond mullet while wearing his ever-present Guns N Roses t-shirt complete with naked girl on the back. (seems a bit extreme for a Jr. High kid today, seemed normal then before Generation X started having children and treating them like snowflakes.) Michael was sort of known as the dick of the neighborhood and would always try to steal other people's "valuable" baseball cards. He lived in a ramshackle house, his mom was slutty with a new biker boyfriend every other week, and his baby sister always looked dirty with a bunch of dried food on her face. It was depressing. I soon outgrew baseball cards and Michael.
The 1990 Oakland A's were no exception to the rule as Storm Davis and Jose Canseco had flowy, rockstar-esque mullets. Back up catcher Ron Hassey and second baseman Glenn Hubbard had their weird, curly, seemingly permed neck-fro's. I've got to believe thet the most famous baseball mullet of all time goes to the great pitcher and ultimately most white-trashy looking player of all time…Randy Johnson. Today's players, being forever trendy yet always a step or two behind hip fashion sport the hairstyle in a "post-ironic" way; these including Nick Swisher and Tim Lincecum.
Junior High was a crazy, fucked up, depressing and confusing time for me. I got into my second fight (and third), added the first girlfriend to my repertoire and discovered heavy metal, porn and keg parties. Thank you Storm Davis for bringing it back. I had almost forgotten.

The purpose of this study was to assess the value of 3-dimensional sonography in the diagnosis of congenital müllerian duct anomalies, which cause infertility, preterm labor, and first trimester abortion.
A prospective study was undertaken in which 40 patients with histories of repeated spontaneous abortions or infertility were first examined using conventional 2-dimensional sonography or hysterosalpingography. Three-dimensional transvaginal sonography was then performed.
Twenty-eight women had müllerian duct abnormalities, and 12 women had normal uterine anatomy. Müllerian duct defects detected in this study were unicornuate uterus (3), bicornuate uterus (3), complete or partial septate uterus (12), arcuate uterus (9), and didelphic uterus (1). The diagnosis of müllerian duct anomalies in these patients was confirmed by laparoscopic and/or hysteroscopic examinations. Three-dimensional sonography demonstrated all congenital uterine abnormalities with a sensitivity and specificity of 100%. Separate uterus and bicornuate uterus could be correctly diagnosed using 3-dimensional sonography in 11 (92%) of 12 cases and 3 (100%) of 3 cases, respectively. These 2 abnormalities were commonly confused with each other using hysterosalpingography and conventional sonography.
Three-dimensional sonography with image reconstruction is less expensive and less invasive than hysterosalpingography for the assessment of uterine anatomy and diagnosis of müllerian duct abnormalities. The ability to visualize both the uterine cavity and the myometrium on a 3-dimensional scan facilitates the diagnosis of uterine anomalies and enables the differentiation of septate from bicornuate uteri for preoperative surgical planning.
You can trade in cryptocurrencies in multiple ways, such as through an exchange, through a retailer or through a wallet-exchange hybrid. The third option has been getting more popularity due to several reasons, like:
- You can store coins and use them for any kind of transactions with ease through a single profile.
- You can exchange digital currencies with fiat currencies like US Dollar as these hybrid systems are capable of handling both without any loss of value.
- Store and trade in multiple currencies, including local and digital ones on the same platform. You buy cryptocurrencies in place of local currency and sell crypto coins to get the regular currency.
- Deposit into and withdraw currency instantly from the wallet without waiting for days to process the transaction.
- Reduced fee, and therefore reduced capital expenditure on investment and trading in virtual currencies.
- Most of these services like the Q Profit System and others function by complying with the regulations of Federal Law. Therefore, the coin owners will not have issues on restrictions and ban.
- Enhanced security is something you can watch out for. Code authentication gives an extra cover of security to your data and transactions.
How to set up an account with a wallet-exchange
For opening a dual-purpose account with the same profile, you have to meet the following requirements:
- An operational bank account with card facilities like credit and debit cards.
- Personal information to confirm your nativity, genuineness and trading spread.
- Identity proofs
- A valid contact medium like email id and phone number
How to open a hybrid account
There are many popular hybrid wallet-exchange services like Coinbase, GDAX etc which allow you to work on a number of digital currencies like Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, Altcoins, etc and Fiat currencies like USD. The joining process is more or less same in all, except for some furnishing requirements.
Signup for the exchange by giving your personal information, as and where asked. Hybrid services tend to ask more details when compared to the wallet as you are literally connecting centralized and decentralized forms of currencies here. The more details you furnish, the better your services will be such as lower limits and fees.
You will also have to login to your bank account or give your debit or credit card details. This step is to connect the bank account with the exchange account for the transactions.
Confirm the pricing rate, transaction limits and regulatory policies. Choose your coin and wait for a couple of days to activate your account, especially from the side of your bank.
Secure your exchange by keeping a 2-factor authentication code. The code is locked by using wither our registered email id or phone number.
Set up your alerts and start the action.

Can I use VX21 on a carbon bike frame?
VX21 can be used on a carbon frame in the same manner as any other bike. There is the chance of the fabric leaving rub marks on the frame; this will have no structural effect but a simple cosmetic issue. If you are concerned about this, it may be advisable to use some sort of tape to protect your frame where the straps will sit.

I'm very excited.
Tomorrow morning, bright and early, I board a plane for Chicago to attend the Association of International Graduate Admissions Consultants' (AIGAC) first annual conference.
Almost exactly two years ago, Ricardo Betti of MBA Empresarial, Maxx Duffy of Maxx Associates, Graham Richmond of Clear Admit, and I participated in a panel hosted by GMAC at its annual conference in San Francisco. Our purpose in presenting the panel: educate admissions directors about the admissions consulting field. They in turn gave us valuable feedback and as a result we decided to form AIGAC. And that's the short version. It was only two years ago.
Today, AIGAC has more than 50 members; an active, talented board of seven; and a terrific conference planned with 24 admissions professionals (including six Accepted editors), all as excited as I am to participate.
With this conference, AIGAC is striding forward to its goal: setting the standard for professional excellence in the graduate admissions consulting field. It will provide professional development training for attendees, networking within an industry that has been notoriously dispersed and fragmented, and opportunity for dialogue with complementary organizations like test prep companies and top schools. In fact, the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business and the Kellogg School of Management have graciously agreed to host tours for conference participants. We are turning a collective vision into reality.
I recently read Getting Things Done by David Allen (excellent BTW). He quotes a saying on a church in Sussex, England, "A vision without a task is but a dream, a task without a vision is drudgery, a vision and a task [are] the hope of the world."
As AIGAC's first and current president, I am proud of the role I have played in co-founding AIGAC and leading it to this point. We have a vision, and it's not merely a dream. We have many, many tasks, but they aren't drudgery (usually) because of our vision. "Hope of the world" is a little too much hyperbole for me, but certainly the combination of vision and action is the secret ingredient to AIGAC's past growth, present standing, and future achievement.
I thank the co-founders, the other board members (Stacy Blackman, Anna Ivey, and Jeremy Shinewald), and AIGAC's members for their support of our shared vision, and for their willingness to perform the tasks, provide the input, and join in a commitment to excellence in graduate admissions.

There is a multitude of vocabulary that could describe just how Spiral Orchard Part 1 drastically alters the sound of what Goddess of Fate has ever been able to produce. A metamorphosis, a baptism, a re-birth, an evolution, they're all the same. Call it what you will, the forthcoming record from Goddess of Fate, due May 31, 2018, is an entirely new breed of what the band has ever achieved sonically.
The four-piece originally formed as a technical death metal band in Yogyakarta, Indonesia during 2009. Their technical death metal sound was then carried onto their debut 2012 EP, A Reversal of Civilization. The EP certainly revealed an interest in a progressive aspects, as well as having a unique sense of creativity due to being derived from various melodic influences. However, it was still very much focused sonically on tech-death. In fact, it was nowhere near anything of this caliber. For, six years later, Goddess of Fate have transpired back into a prominent state of ingenuity, shedding their limited tech-death boundaries in favor of a progressive/melodic death metal structure. That's not to say that they've simply discarded their musical roots, for the technical aspect is still very much incorporated. The shift in sound is more so out of acceptance; an acceptance of the ideological aspirations only dabbled with on the EP. And with that acceptance comes a truly remarkable concoction, reprogramming what was ever thought to be Death Metal.
The title Part 1 is no misleading jest or play on words, nor is it a mere typo on my end. Spiral Orchard Part 1 is actually the first piece of an entire saga of records being planned by Goddess of Fate. It's quite baffling honestly, because how confident can one be? To not only embrace a sound (that has next to no relation to any prior work, mind you) with such a dense composition, but to add on top of that the promise of continuing this concept without even the slightest bit of knowledge pertaining to its future reception? That's pretty damn ambitious. The most extraordinary factor of this equation lies within the fact that their certainty is fully warranted, as they manage to illustrate such a profound offering after seemingly disappearing for six years.
The most striking aspect of the record lies within its musical maturity; it feels as if Goddess of Fate measured every ounce of each track to be perfect for what they wanted to achieve. Dicky Faizal Huda (Vocals), Revanda Verdian (Drums/Percussions), Saka Pramudita (Electric and Acoustic Guitars/Keyboards/Backing Vocals), and Ahmad Okta Perdana (Bass/Sampling/Vocals) share an excellent musical chemistry, stringing together a product of definite mystique. In fact, it's quite difficult to verbally describe each track, as there are so many layers to be found within each second of the sonic journey the song takes you on. This is no different for the track we are premiering here on the Vault, "The String's Eclipse."
With "The String's Eclipse," Goddess of Fate have unleashed their full musical capabilities in all of their glory, implementing the classical technical death metal traits that they've already known to have mastered along with elements not only foreign in musical geography, but in composition. A brief summary of its intimidating contents would reveal tech/groove transfused death metal riffage, layers upon layers of melody, and a crazed composition to baffle the most seasoned proghead. We're absolutely ecstatic to be premiering this track here on the Vault, and to give you the first taste what's to come for Goddess of Fate.
Spiral Orchard Part 1 will be available May 31, 2018 via Bandcamp. Pre-order it now!

Did you know? NLCS Game 6
After 71 long years, the Cubs are headed back to the World Series.
Kyle Hendricks and the Cubs defeated Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers, 5-0, in Game 6 of the National League Championship Series on Saturday night at Wrigley Field, claiming the franchise's first pennant and World Series appearance since 1945.View Full Game Coverage
After 71 long years, the Cubs are headed back to the World Series.
Kyle Hendricks and the Cubs defeated Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers, 5-0, in Game 6 of the National League Championship Series on Saturday night at Wrigley Field, claiming the franchise's first pennant and World Series appearance since 1945.View Full Game Coverage
• Get official gear: Go, Cubs, going to World Series!
The world is much different since the Cubs last played in the Fall Classic. For instance, only 2.5 billion humans roamed the Earth in 1945, and approximately 7.4 billion do so today. Twelve U.S. presidents have occupied the Oval Office since the Cubs claimed the pennant in Harry Truman's first year in office, and 38 members of the National Baseball Hall of Fame had not even been born.
Now, incredibly, the Cubs stand just four wins shy of capturing their first championship since 1908. Before Chicago takes the field against the Cleveland Indians (who themselves are hoping to break a long winless streak, dating to 1948) in Game 1 of the World Series on Tuesday, here are some facts and figures you should know about the Cubs' historic Game 6 victory.
• World Series Game 1: Tuesday, 7:30 p.m. ET air time/ 8 ET game time on FOX
:: NLCS: Dodgers vs. Cubs coverage ::
• The Cubs have snapped the longest streak without an appearance in a championship game or series in any of the four major North American sports.
• The 174 combined years between championships for the Cubs and Indians -- is the highest total of any final two teams, topping the 130 combined winless years between the Astros and White Sox in the 2005 Fall Classic.
• Tavern owner Billy Sianis, who supposedly set the "Curse of the Billy Goat" in motion during the 1945 World Series, passed away on Oct. 22, 1970 -- exactly 46 years to the day before the Cubs finally clinched another trip to the Fall Classic.
• The Cubs are the first team to win a LCS-clinching game with at least five players 25-or-younger in the starting lineup.
• Chicago snapped an 0-for-6 streak in potential NLCS clinching games, which included those famously painful defeats in 1984 and 2003.
• A total of 403 World Series games have been played since the last contest featuring the Cubs in 1945.
• A dominant combination of Hendricks and Aroldis Chapman faced the minimum 27 batters. The Cubs are only the second team to face the minimum number of batters in a postseason win. The other? The 1956 Yankees, who rode a perfect game from Don Larsen to a 2-0 win over the Dodgers in Game 5 of the World Series.
Video: NLCS Gm6: Hendricks keeps Dodgers scoreless in 7 1/3
• Hendricks completed 7 1/3 brilliant scoreless innings for Chicago, making him only the fourth pitcher in Cubs postseason history to post a scoreless start in a series-clinching game.
• Hendricks stayed ahead of the Dodgers' hitters all night. The right-hander faced a total of 23 batters and threw a first-pitch strike to 16 of them -- including 11 called strikes.
• Hendricks' game score of 82 (using the Bill James formula) tied John Smoltz (who was in the FOX broadcast booth Saturday) for the second-highest of any starting pitcher in a potential clinching game in the NLCS. Only Mike Hampton of the Mets posted a higher game score -- an 88 in the decisive Game 5 of the 2000 NLCS.
• Hendricks became the first starting pitcher in Cubs postseason history to face the minimum required batters through the first seven innings. Andrew Toles lined Hendricks' first pitch of the game for a single, but was immediately retired on a double play. Then, Josh Reddick reached on an error by Javier Baez in the second inning, but was wiped away on an inning-ending pickoff by Hendricks.
Video: NLCS Gm6: Baez hustles to turn athletic double play
• That was the first time a pitcher had recorded a pickoff in a potential clinching game for his team in the NLCS since Andy Pettite for the Houston Astros in Game 5 of the 2005 NLCS. Hendricks' eight pickoffs dating back to the beginning of the 2015 are tied with Atlanta's Julio Teheran for the most of any right-handed pitcher.
• Hendricks is now 26-0 in his career in games in which he's received at least three runs of support from his offense.
• The Cubs plated two runs against Kershaw in the bottom of the first, marking the first time an opponent has ever scored multiple first-inning runs against the Dodgers' ace in the postseason. The last time Kershaw gave up more than one first-inning run in any game was on June 27, 2015, when the Miami Marlins plated two runs in the opening frame.
Video: NLCS Gm6: Cubs score two runs in the 1st inning
• Teams that scored first went a combined 11-0 between the two LCS this year.
• Kershaw threw 30 pitches in the first inning, the most pitches he's ever thrown in the first inning of a postseason game and the most he's thrown in any inning this season. Interestingly, only one of those pitches -- his 27th of the inning -- was his trademark curveball.
• The Cubs had just one plate appearance with a runner in scoring position during Kershaw's seven shutout innings in Game 2. They had nine through the first three innings of Game 6, and converted two RBI hits and a sacrifice fly.
• Willson Contreras' solo home run in the bottom of the fourth left the bat at 105.5 miles per hour, making it the third-hardest-hit homer off Kershaw in 2016. Only Giancarlo Stanton (109.5 mph) and Matt Duffy (105.9) hit harder round-trippers off the ace this year.
Video: NLCS Gm6: Contreras rips solo homer in the 4th
• Anthony Rizzo followed with his own home run off Kershaw in the fifth, making him the first left-handed hitter to homer off Kershaw since Daniel Murphy in Game 4 of the 2015 NL Division Series -- a span of 166 plate appearances.
Video: NLCS Gm6: Rizzo launches a towering solo homer
• In nine previous career starts against the Cubs (including Game 2 of the NLCS), Kershaw had a 1.93 ERA, and he had never allowed more than three runs.
• Kershaw had only allowed two extra-base hits (both doubles) in his first 19 1/3 innings this postseason, but the Cubs knocked five extra-base hits (three doubles and two home runs) against the left-hander Saturday night. Those five extra-base hits are tied for the most Kershaw has allowed in any start in his Major League career. Kershaw gave up an extra-base hit in each of his five innings pitched, the first time in his career he had ever given up an extra-base hit in five consecutive innings.
Video: NLCS Gm6: Kershaw gets Baez swinging in the 3rd
• The Cubs were able to tally four barrels off Kershaw on Saturday, according to Statcast™, which is tied for the most barrels Kershaw has given up in any start this year. The Giants also hit four barrels off the lefty on June 10.
• The Dodgers are now 0-46 in road playoff games in which they trailed by at least three runs.
• Los Angeles has now gone 10 consecutive postseason appearances without reaching the World Series, setting a new record, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
• The Cubs are now just 108 outs away from claiming their first World Series championship since the 1908 World Series -- which took place 108 years ago.

Observers monitoring North Korea have detected activation of a new internet path out of North Korea.
At 09:07:51 UTC on 1 October 2017, the country's single internet provider, Star JV (AS131269), gained a new connection to the global internet through Russian fixed-line provider Transtelecom (AS20485), often referred to as TTK.
The new link supplements the sole Internet link the country has connecting North Korean ISP Star JV and China Unicom ISPs together.
According to Doug Madory, Director of Internet Analysis at Dyn, "the internet of North Korea is very small (four BGP routes) and reportedly only accessible by a few elites in the country. Since the appearance of AS131279 in the global routing table almost 7 years ago, Star JV has almost exclusively relied on China Unicom for its connectivity to the global internet — the only exception was its partial usage of satellite service from Intelsat between 2012 and 2013. In light of this history, a new internet connection out of North Korea is certainly a notable development."
Another North Korea expert Martyn Williams add that "this isn't the first time North Korea has had alternate routes for Internet connectivity. From 2012 for about a year, a second link to Star JV existed via Intelsat, an international satellite telecommunications operator, but in recent years the Chinese link has been the sole connection to Star JV. Relying on one Internet provider has always left North Korea in a precarious situation."

We have scaled up one level since we finished this incredible and challenging built. From the very beginning we where not really convinced about customizing a Scooter. We loved the challenge but for us to transform an ordinary street Scooter into a custom bike was kind of weird.
Nick the owner of asked and insisted us to build him a new bike. His directions where very clear: Do whatever u want on it… This motorcycle (see picture above) is originally from 2017 and we bought in Bali, Indonesia. The total time spent to build this bike (including all its versions) has been 90 days. It has been though, but rewarding. We learned a lot during the transformation process and we are looking forward to do a bunch more of these. Enjoy the view.
Once we got our hands on the bike and took off all the plastic, we discovered how much work needed to be done. Despite of the evident engine placement and design issues, we had to rework a complete new frame, build a new tank and change its position as well. About the style we only really had one option. BOBBER. Main reason was the limitation we had in the rear axe, engine, rear tire and swing-arm of the NMAX. Everything is built together as a one single block, so no chance to modify those elements. We designed a two seater concept, comfortable as a Scooter but with a real motorcycle look. Once we had finished the design, installed the new parts and components and tested the bike, we found out that the performance was not optimal. The new position of the Tank and Injectors where causing us some trouble. The bike was running smooth and handling beautifully but at 60km/h the petrol supply was cutting off. We figured out that the CDI was programmed to deliver petrol supply based on the old placement of tank and injectors. We installed a new RACING CDI on the bike, re-programmed the supply levels and voila… we had a perfect response. Higher top speed and torque. Job was finished successfully!
After publishing this bike on Social Media the response was spectacular. It has been one of our most commented and engaging Motorcycles so far. We love the result of this project. I think it is a perfect combination of motorcycle look and performance with the comfort and driving dynamics of a Scooter. It's the first and only 100% Custom Scooter in Bali and we are really proud of the result.

"The Mighty One has done great things for me" - Luke 1:49
Like any good English major, I've always had a soft spot for grammar. When I read today's beautiful Gospel passage, I couldn't help but notice that Mary's famous Magnificat is written in the present perfect tense: "The Mighty One has done great things for me."
Mary doesn't say "The Mighty One did great things for me"—that would be the plain old past tense. Rather, she says He has done great things. He has shown the strength of his arm, and has scattered the proud. He has cast down the mighty and has lifted up the lowly.
We use the present perfect tense to speak about an action that began in the past but continues into the present. God's action is ongoing!
God certainly wasn't done doing great things for Mary at the Annunciation. In fact, He was just getting started. And while we may be nearing the end of this Advent pilgrimage, God certainly isn't done doing great things for any of us either. On the contrary, He's just getting started: "I am confident of this, that the one who began a good work among you will bring it to completion by the day of Jesus Christ" (Philippians 1:6). What great things has the Mighty One begun in you?
Even though Mary's greatness may have only just begun, she paused to reflect and give thanks. I am an avid journaler because I've found that reading my past entries sheds a lot of light on the present; I'm better able to recognize the ways in which God is moving in my life. This final weekend of Advent is a wonderful opportunity for us to pause and take stock of the blessings in our lives.
Mary offers us a beautiful example of this gratitude and humility. Elizabeth has just finished praising her ("Blessed are you among women"), but Mary immediately points to God as the source of all her joy. Don't look at me, look at the One who has done all this through me! Don't proclaim my greatness, proclaim His: "My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my savior."
This exclamation of gratitude actually flows from the lips of two faithful handmaidens of the Lord. Mary's Magnificat echoes the words of Hannah's Song (our responsorial psalm today), "My heart exults in the Lord, my Savior" (1 Samuel 2). Both women rejoice at the birth of an unexpected child, and both women lovingly return that child to the Lord for His glory. Just as Hannah leaves Samuel in the temple and dedicates him to the Lord, Mary also knows that she cannot keep her Son to herself because He is a gift to all the world. These faith-filled women responded to God's goodness by giving everything back to Him with praise and thanksgiving.
What gifts has the Mighty One bestowed upon you? And how can you, like Hannah and Mary, return them to the Lord for His glory?
Let us pray,
Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty,
my memory, my understanding,
and my entire will,
All I have and call my own.
You have given all to me.
To you, Lord, I return it.
Everything is yours; do with it what you will.
Give me only your love and your grace,
that is enough for me.

Music Spotlight: Coconut Radio/
There was a small break in the June rain at Juana's Pagodas award party and guests slowly began to move out from under the umbrellas. We were there to celebrate Juana's Pagodas win as a 2018 Top Florida beach bar.
We finally stepped away from the covered patio area and made our away across the bar to order a drink. That's when we heard a beautiful violin solo come from the band Coconut Radio -- it stopped us in our tracks.
It's not often we hear a violin in a beach bar band but when you have that and combine it with an acoustic guitar and beautiful harmonies, it added such a unique dimension to their sound. We were captivated and couldn't stop listening.
It's In The Family
Sue Kittredge and Steve Reeths both come from a musical family.
"My mother played the violin and she encouraged me to study classical violin at the age of 8," says Kittredge.
And almost everyone in Steve Reeths' house sang or played an instrument.
"My father was big into barbershop quartets and so we learned and sang a lot of harmony parts in the car on trips."
Early Beginnings In The Symphony
Kittredge landed her first professional gig in the symphony when she was still in high school! She went from playing in quartets and soloing classically to playing in a 5-piece bluegrass group where she met Reeths.
They had a few stops before Coconut Radio.
Reeths said, "I went from band geek to folkie to folk rocker to bluegrass to pop country to jam band to Coconut Radio--whew."
About Coconut Radio
The name Coconut Radio refers to Gilligan's Island. The duo was new to the panhandle and wanted to create a band name that was tropical and fun!
"The Professor could whip a coconut radio up for the price of a coconut cream pie!"
I noticed on their business card they had the phrase 'quality music since 4pm.'
"It's when the party starts! Why wait until 5 o'clock!"
With musical influences like the Beatles, Stephane Grappelli, The Weepies, Dave Matthews, and Hot Rize, they play a wide variety of music and describe their sound as "eclectic acoustic...or whatever we can get away with...with a fiddle and a guitar..."
Apply Dark Rum and Salt Water
One of their original songs, Gone Bamboo, contains the lyric 'apply dark rum and salt water.'
"This lyric was inspired by a friend who thought drinking Captain Morgan while neck deep in the Gulf would help her cope with a bad cold."
They also have an original song called 'Got It Good."
"It's a song about counting your blessings, which we strive to do everyday."
Their music is available on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon or you can buy the cd on CDBaby.com or contact them directly at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Now Playing In Destin
They play in the Destin, FL area and are typically at Pompano Joe's on Mondays, Bric-a-Brac on Saturdays, and Juana's Pagodas most Sundays.
"We have a great time on stage and nothing is better than to share that feeling with good people!"
Additional gigs are listed on their Facebook page.
What's Next?
"We have enough material for another CD and have been asked many times about a release date, so that's high on the list. Touring is something we are starting to prepare for so stay tuned!"

Good Morning, God. I keep thinking about the incident with my daughter last night. I'm sensing part of her anger toward me is related to the new limits I have placed on Internet use and that I've linked it to helping out around the house. Give me insight and help me understand how to restore connection with her.
There are rhythms to grace. The waves crash on the shore in an unending cycle, year after year. Tides rise and fall. Storms come and go. One wave is higher or lower than the next. So it is with your expectations. They are always there, consistent, steady. But one day they may be high, another low. Don't try to force your children into daily sameness. Let them surge when motivated and rest when needed.
Show yourself the same rhythms of grace. Don't try to work up a high tide when it just isn't there. You will find my expectations of you are also as the waves. I know when you are ready to surge and when you need to rest. I allow for these cycles. In fact, I created them. And I created you and your children to flow with them. Get familiar with the rhythms of grace. Watch them. Listen to them. Flow with them like a child playing in the waves. Yes, life can be this fun!

Three big Reasons to Switch From iOS into AndroidAndroid
Frequently it appears difficult for any tech user concerning why if you select Android on iOS or change to a different OS. Both the technology are tough competing against each other for winning over most tech clients. But if you're facing the problem of Android within iOS then all you have to understand the motives for doing this. Let's find three main reasons to change out of iOS into Android.
Display Dimensions and Content Screen
Let's begin with the most indispensable thing that instantly strikes any user, the display. Taking a look at the display of the Samsung Galaxy S III you may wonder about the display of your iPhone 4S. The moment you get accustomed to utilizing Samsung that the Apple phone screen may seem too little for you. One more thing that can strike you immediately is how an iPhone looks puny in the automobile dock against the Galaxy S III. This makes sense particularly if you're searching for internet information on something special and will need to read it or need instant navigation you could have the ability to see it clearly Download AC Market. With iPhone it looks like the phone has disappeared in the dock.
Consider it this way the dimension of Galaxy S III is 4.8 inch against iPhone 4S with only 3.4 inch screen. This makes a great deal of difference particularly in regards to displaying articles and assisting somebody with navigation function. Another benefit which Samsung has over Apple mobile is that of programs. The programs screen in Samsung provides you two seeing classes, content and record views. If it has to do with its rival, fewer listing things which makes it hard for a person to experience the contents. Additionally, larger display provides you greater viewing experience.
Assessing the pixel density of both Smartphones it appears the Galaxy S III and iPhone 5 step the same. Reading an e-book is comfy on both the telephones with wide margins to the content screen. In the same way, email messages and newsreader are simple to read, zoom and scroll. The HD quality of movie is remarkable, same goes as you're studying e-comics. Both the telephones are at level given any viewing angle that the material is clear and crisp.
Aside from this when we concentrate on the display width it appears that although iPhone includes a tall display but Galaxy S III display remains better in different facets. The very clear content screen, ease of text and superior computer layout are a few of the characteristics which are better against an iPhone.
Working Around with Programs
If it comes to cooperation in programs Android principles, as the programs appear to adhere to one some time using an iOS apparatus it appears that every program is out the sandboxes. This means if you try to transfer information amongst programs you'll want to experience multiple programs. Sharing information consequently becomes a tedious job involving shifting amongst many programs that's time consuming.
By way of instance if you're browsing and wish to split the info using Evernote then all you will need to do is select Chat then Evernote. Using Apple iPhone sharing info isn't quite as simple. It's more like customized strategies for URL or when the programs are intended to operate together. Saving page to Instapaper, Pocket or Evernots requires downloading and installing it and keeping the bookmark. With Android you will find two easy steps, tap Share-> Evernote. Unlike Apple, paste, copy, set up, bookmark and other complex measures.
If you're wanting to personalize your iPhone then you definitely want to jailbreak it or anything modifications you want to make are restricted. Quite simply you can't override the default settings of your iPhone. On the other hand if you would like to personalize your Android mobile then you can just search online for a variety of ways to get it done and make the necessary changes. It's possible to create or empower settings which are ideal for your preferences.
For the aforementioned three reasons it's apparent the Android is user friendly and is much far better than an iOS apparatus. You may easily earn a change or opt to buy the Samsung Galaxy S III over Apple iPhone 4S or 5.

Madilyn is the granddaughter of a friend of mine. When I heard that she was about to make an appearance I boldly asked if I could take her newborn pictures. She asked Madilyn's mom and dad and I was blessed to take the images. It was a hot day in the summer, probably our only hot day. Madilyn was 11 days old. The optimum time to take newborn photos is in the first 10 days. The baby sleeps allot in this time period and after a feeding the babies seem to be in a milk induced coma that makes then so pliable for pictures. Not so Madilyn. While she slept really well most of the time, it was not on this day. She was as good as she is beautiful, however. It was my second real newborn shoot and I was nervous, but knew what I wanted. I took as many as seemed reasonable of one pose then moved on quickly. This was the first image I captured and while it appears she is peacefully and soundly asleep, she is not. Just for the moment, though, she closed her eyes.
This was close to the beginning shots of Madilyn. As you can see, she is wide awake. Bless her heart!! I just piled some not so well folded towels on my accordion case–yes I said accordion –no I haven't played it in a while.
When shooting newborns, I try to get close-ups of all the important features, eyes, ears, hands, feet and of course the tongue –well not really the tongue–but–she stuck it out so I took it.
Madilyn must be a little ticklish she seems to be smiling when we handle her feet.
Her little had grasping her mommy and daddy's wedding rings.Mom and Madilyn. Babies smell their mom and so I try to keep them away from mom until the last shots. They want to nurse and will get a little fussy. Just stop and let the mom take care of her. It is so important to remember she is an infant and her comfort comes first.
This is soft focus and a tender shot. Just take shots as mom takes care of the baby and you can get some amazing shots.
I am at the point where I like to play with presets in Light Room and actions in Photoshop a little too much. When editing 60-100 images it take a lot of time. I found it is best to crop in the camera and avoid doing it in an editing program and make small adjustments to your images–of course that means shooting with the correct exposure. THEN it would be fun to get artistic with just a few images for the client.
Dad had a special talent of rocking Madilyn to sleep. I love this image. It is so full of love and tenderness and Madilyn is so comfortable in her daddy's arms.It is amazing the effect this dad has on his little girl. She completely trusts him and feels so comfortable with him.Mom and Dad together. Not a posed moment–just spontaneous.
The focus is on Madilyn, mom, dad and the camera. Yet you can still see the love in the faces on mom and dad.
Madilyn in a special dress her daddy got for her. This was near the end of the shoot and of course she was truly asleep now. Such and angel.She was so comfortable in the warmth of the summer day and her parents love and the soft blanket she was on. A great ending to a fun day. I learned so much about newborn shoots. The best thing I learned is that I love to do them.
I got the fuzzy material at JoAnn fabric and just draped it over some pillows for the first shot. A bean bag filled extra full of beans works well for posing babies. Put plastic down to protect the bag under the blanket. Be sure your room is really warm so the baby is comfortable 80 degrees or so . I used a white sheet of foam core as a reflector to put the light where I wanted it. My setup faced south by some open doors. I had someone stand outside to catch the light and reflect it to where I wanted it. Taking your time and just moving slowly helps you and the baby stay calm. I will write more about newborn shoots sometime in the future. There are a myriad of websites with how too's to do this. My best advice is –do it–just jump in and if you fail miserably your first attempt–I did–them try again. I told the parents up front I was new at this and needed to practice–so they didn't get their expectation set too high. They were delighted to get the cd with the images on it after. That is what you want –under promise and over deliver. I will post some links to my favorite sites for how too's soon. Thanks for stopping by.

Tarpon fishing has always been about pop ups.
Years ago, I had a girl friend that was really bright, not just smart, but
very preceptive and had clever ways to express her observations.
One night we went Tarpon fishing just north of Key West in lower Jewfish basin.
It was one of those hot oilslick calm evenings that promise good Tarpon sightings if not action.
As I idled into the basin you could see silver faces in all directions, happy slurping, Poondogies. I slipped the push pole into the edge of the flat and tied off.
Not a long wait, maybe four turns on her spinning reel and a tusker of about
125 lb. was in the air, headshakin, gills rattlin, really pissed Tarpon.
This guy out weigthed her by 30lb but she hung in even when he jumped close to the boat and wetted both of us several times.
When it was all over she stood in front of me, quite a picture, naked except for the fighting belt, and a big grin.
A few months later we were in Davey Florida to see their little rodeo, she had never been to a rodeo before.
We walked in and leaned against the corral just as the chute opened and out sprang a big big bull with a very small cowboy aboard.
In seconds the bull was splitting the fence right in front of us, throwing the cowboy to the ground and stompen all over him.
She looked up at me and said, " jesus, thats just like Tarpon fishing!"

At the eleventh hour (literally, on the eleventh day of the eleventh month of the year 1918, the world saw the end of the Great War, or World War 1, as it is known today. It became known as Armistice Day. Armistice day is a national holiday in several countries, commemorated on November 11th every year. On this day in 1918, an armistice was signed between the Allies and the German empire, marking the beginning of the end of World War 1. This day is still celebrated among many of the allied countries.
The armistice was signed at 5 am in the railway carriage of French Army general Ferdinand Foch in the North of France. (Later on, Hitler used the same carriage to sign an armistice between the Germans and French in WW2.) The conditions of the treaty forced the Germans to stop fighting, evacuate annexed regions within two weeks and give up a significant portion of their arms and ammunition. This treaty served as the precursor to the Treaty of Versailles, which acted as the lasting peace treaty between the two nations.
Armistice Day is commemorated to a certain extent in all of the Allied Nations, some more than others. The most prominent celebrations are in Britain, where it is a tradition to stand in two minutes of silence at 11 am on this day to honour all fallen British soldiers. Poppies are also worn on this day in memory of the fallen soldiers. The Sunday after the event is also celebrated as Remembrance Sunday. In the USA, Veterans Day is celebrated in the place of Armistice Day to honour all American war veterans, living or dead. The day is commemorated in the other nations who formed the Allies in WW1, but not as extensively, like in India or other Commonwealth countries, which sacrificed for the War and in the name of the King.
In Britain, Armistice Day has come to represent much more than it originally stood for, and is used to honour all the fallen soldiers of Britain till date. As a result, there have been controversies surrounding people unwilling to wear poppies to commemorate this day in Britain because of personal prejudices against the military.
Ultimately the Armistice, and the subsequent Treaty of Versailles were not enough to keep the threat of Germany down for long and prevent the rise of the Nazi party. But all the same, the signing of the armistice was a testament to the valour of the soldiers who fought a bloody war for maintaining peace in their land, and must be remembered.

The Port Authority that oversees LaGuardia, the John F. Kennedy and Newark Liberty international airports is considering a proposal that would raise the minimum wage for 40,000 low wage workers at regional airports to $19 per hour by 2023. If passed, it will create the highest publicly mandated minimum wage in the nation and will deeply impact local communities. An economic stimulus is projected in the communities where workers live. Their increased household spending is projected to increase economic output by over $465 million in 2023 and every year thereafter, creating 2,700 new jobs.
Disneyland Resort is the most iconic theme park in the world. Disney's best-known characters are present in the park and woven into America's national culture, recognized and celebrated around the world. People share more photographs from their visits to Disneyland than from any other place in the world, making it the most Instagrammed location on earth. However, employees report high instances of homelessness, food insecurity, ever-shifting work schedules, extra-long commutes, and low wages.
Public assistance programs are Los Angeles's primary interface with individuals experiencing homelessness and can be a catalyst for connecting at-risk and homeless recipients with crucial services and reducing the massive public costs associated with chronic homelessness. The vital role is to identify tripwire events among all recipients, particularly children and transition-age youth, and quickly connect at-risk individuals with needed employment, behavioral health and housing services.
Unemployment and underemployment currently represent $25.8 billion in annual wages not earned in Los Angeles County, $28.2 billion in lost private sector economic activity and $4 billion in tax revenue not generated. Over a fifth of Los Angeles County's labor force is unemployed or underemployed. Over a third of the county's population lives in a household where one or more breadwinners are under-employed.
At the peak of California's most recent drought in 2009, the Los Angeles economy was in severe recession, with unemployment above 12 percent. These twin crises identified a policy opportunity to tackle both challenges together. Public investments in water use efficiency provide economic and job benefits alongside the environmental benefits from using less water.
The most concrete characteristic of a recession is that demand disappears for some of the commodities produced by workers and unwanted unemployment is imposed on a large segment of the labor force. With growing job losses in the current recession it is important to know, whose boat falls when the economic tide recedes?
There are at least three reasons why it has become important for Los Angeles to exert purposeful influence on its own economic trajectory: The population has grown steadily but the number of jobs in the formal economy, where employers comply with labor law, is still below the level of 1990.
While the visitor industry is a key economic engine for LA, it's Lodging industry shows signs of structural weakness. Compared to the size of its visitor economy, LA's Lodging inventory is only 62 percent of the national average. Compared to other cities with which it competes for tourism spending, LA's Lodging industry serves a relatively small number of visitors given the size our economy.
There is extensive evidence of a growing informal labor force in Los Angeles City and County, along with stagnant employment in the formal labor market. Between 2000 and 2004, the working age population in the county grew by 4.9 percent, but the number of wage and salary jobs (i.e., the formal economy) declined by 2.3 percent.
Why aren't more welfare parents becoming economically self-sufficient after participating in the LA County Welfare to Work Program, GAIN (Greater Avenue for Independence)? What has happened to these parents since entering the labor market after GAIN? The answers to these and other questions are presented in "Prisoners of Hope," a report originally requested by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on December 19, 2000.
How do people change their lives? What kinds of help do working poor parents need to lift their families out of poverty? What obstacles do they face in trying to get a sustaining job? More than eight thousand people answered these questions through a survey undertaken to learn directly from working welfare parents and other poor families about the problems they face and the kinds of help they need to become self-sufficient.
This briefing paper reports on business recovery in buildings damaged during the 1992 civil unrest, the availability of jobs in different areas of Los Angeles, and changes in South Los Angeles' industry base since 1992. Where were buildings damaged during the civil unrest located? Most buildings damaged during the civil unrest were located on commercial streets in high poverty neighborhoods in South Los Angeles.
The informal economy produces legal goods and services that are not effectively regulated. Such activities can give rise to abuses by employers who fail to respect basic labor, safety, immigration, and tax laws, leaving workers without rights. By definition the informal economy is hidden "under the table" and "off the books." However, by comparing different sources of employment data we can identify industries where a significant share of jobs appear to be unreported. Industry characteristics such as worker demographics can also be used as an additional indicator of informal employment.
In his 1963 letter from the Birmingham jail Martin Luther King, Jr. described the despair of people "smothering in an airtight cage of poverty in the midst of an affluent society." It is important to understand the extent to which this image of entrapment still describes the wage-earning lives of the working poor as they try to support their families.
The loss of a welfare safety net for most adults for most of their lives makes the quality of jobs available to the working poor and their success in finding and keeping jobs increasingly important. The economic and civic life of the Los Angeles region will be shaped by connections that are made, or fail to be made, between the growing ranks of working poor and opportunities for steady, sustaining, productive employment.
The South Bay Economic Adjustment Strategy has been prepared to help elected officials, public sector staff, business leaders, and citizens take coordinated, effective action to recover jobs lost because of defense cutbacks. The strategy has been prepared under a grant from the Office of Economic Adjustment in the Department of Defense that was administered by Los Angeles County's Community Development Commission.
Welfare reform raises the prickly question of what mix of understanding, support and pragmatic pressure is needed to move welfare recipients into employment. Many workers are scrambling to keep the wolf from their own doors in the face of industry restructuring, rapid technological change, and intense pressures to increase corporate profits.
Recent welfare reform legislation mandates that aid recipients become employed and economically self-sufficient. The allowable interval of continuous assistance is limited to 24 months for current recipients and 18 months for new recipients, with a lifetime limit of five years on welfare. At least 150,000 current welfare recipients in Los Angeles County must move into the workforce, securing at least partial employment by December 1999.
The City of Long Beach and other centers of aerospace production that reaped the rewards of the 1980s defense-spending boom must now confront the realities of restructuring. Since World War II, the Douglas Aircraft plant made Long Beach an important center of the US aerospace industry and dominated the local economy. In 1992, the Long Beach aerospace industry employed 36,100 workers, which was 22 percent of the city's total employment. Almost all of these workers were employed by McDonnell Douglas. Long Beach aerospace workers earned a total payroll of over $1.5 billion, which was 30 percent of the city's total payroll. These figures understate the total impact of aerospace on the Long Beach economy, through linkages with firms in other industries that provide inputs to the aerospace industry, and purchases of goods and services by aerospace workers.
This study examines how firms, workers, and regional economic development institution are dealing with the severe effects of defense downsizing in the Los Angeles region. Between 1988 and 1994 the Los Angeles region lost 127,000 jobs in defense-related industries, including aircraft, missiles, instruments, and electronics. The long economic slump set off by defense cuts has incited a major debate between the advocates of regional institution building and proactive economic development and those arguing for the laissez-faire approach of reducing taxes, wages, and environmental costs.

Tuning into talent and why it matters
If I say "Tuning in to Talent" what's your reaction? Do you think, "oh interesting let me read more" or do you switch off straight away and think, " God not more HR/Recruitment waffle"?
Talent has fast become a very overused and misunderstood word. What does it actually mean in the context of a creative agency? Is it the brilliant strategic thinking that makes the complex simple so that creatives can create beautiful deliverables that drive commercial results? Is it the awards that recognise that agency for being an innovative leader in its field, celebrated for all it has achieved? Or is it the visionary leadership that has created a culture and clarity of purpose that everyone passionately believes in and wants to see fly? Well you won't be surprised to learn it is all of these things. And what is the single common factor amongst all of the examples I have just shared? Yep that's right people.
To me talent is just that people. Pure and simple. People who show up to work each day with all their skills, brilliance, ambition, hopes, fears, insecurities and sometimes epic wobbles. People are beautifully human and full of emotion yet where is the training on how to get the best out of people at work for leaders of creative agencies? It's random and mostly reactive at best. It baffles me that the majority of creative agencies, if they are honest, leave the "talent piece" to chance, hope and a "we will deal with it when we have to" outlook. It just doesn't make business sense yet is established common practice. So much opportunity and potential is wasted through mis-management of people and not being "Tuned in to the needs of talent". And the really crazy thing is that it doesn't need to be this way!
At an intimate gathering of the great and good of creative agency leaders to share ideas and learning from leader to leader. the focus was Tuning into Talent and I asked the audience to think about a time in their career when they were like a "Happy Dog" – tail wagging, eager, part of the pack (I shall reign myself in from more analogies J) and then to think about a time when they felt more like a "Grumpy Cat". Alone, dis-connected, just not feeling it with no interest in being part of the pack. Here are some of the examples I heard of the impact either being a "Dog" or "Cat" had on people. I think you'll agree it's powerful stuff.
Secure, Opportunity, Excitement, Loyalty, Happy, Inspired, Optimistic, Confident , Fulfilled, Brave, Energised, Empowered, Ambitious, Engaged, Protected, Appreciated, Valued, In Control
Unrecognised, Disconnect, Unhappy, Depressed, Stressed, Miserable, Trapped, Wasted, Frustrated, Angry, Disempowered, Over-worked, Isolated, Bored, Lonely, Misunderstood, De-motivated
Given how fast the world of work is now, it takes active focus, energy, interest and continuous commitment to be tuned in to your talent (and also yourself but that is a whole different blog). Any leader looking to rally the troops has got to know whom his, or her, "Happy Dogs" are and where the "Grumpy Cats" lie. (It is a good test of your authenticity around tuning into talent to check in with yourself on what is making you label a certain person a "Dog" or a "Cat". Is it true or because you have formed an opinion of them that may indeed not be accurate or up-to-date?)
To help you be effectively tuned in to your talent as a leader here are some of my top tips.
- When is the last time you looked at the statistics around people? What do the facts tell you? Are they painting a good picture or a worrying story?
- How effective (or costly) is your recruitment process?
- What is your churn rate like?
- How much are you spending on recruitment agencies? Are you getting value for money?
Leadership team
- Are they aligned and tuning into talent brilliantly as a team?
- Are they communicating with each other about the people in the
business as a whole over just their direct report?
- Do you know if they themselves are a Happy Dog or Grumpy Cat?
Employer brand reputation
- Be brave – do you know your employer reputation on Glass Door and on
social media in general?
- Have you checked in with your recent hires and identified what was it
about your business that made them choose you?
- How does this compare to people who joined your company a few years
ago and/or a long time ago. You need to be confident the messaging you
are sharing at interview is the most effective and compelling or you risk
unnecessarily missing out on your target talent
- When did you last review your approach to recruitment and reviews?
- Do they work and are they well received externally and internally?
- Do you have the right tools in place to support your people tune into
talent across the business?
- Have you trained your people to be brilliant at bringing out brilliance in
- Do you know your Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats
when it comes to people and talent?
- Are you taking action to mitigate the threats and realise the
- What doe the SWOT tell you about people, performance and culture in
your business?
I will finish this post with a call to action. It is easy to talk about the changes that need to be made to ensure we are tuning into talent well (and by this I include all talent and diversity; not just tuning into great reflections of ourselves) so if you are a Leader of a creative business or simply want to become more tuned in to the people you work with make some time to address the points raised to be aware of how your people are feeling and performing and confident in your people strategy to deliver your business plan.
Afterall, what would you rather be in work (and life) a Happy Dog or a Grumpy Cat?

Daily Geometry (India)
Mammalipuram, Pondicherry, Trichy, India. (February 2017) Every morning women draw kolam patterns on the sidewalk outside the door, drizzling rice flour on the wet pavement. Traditionally they are based on a central geometric grid of dots, through which the pattern loops, with a callagraphic quality. If the lines create closed shapes, it keeps out evil spirits. Otherwise the patterns are meant to be welcoming to all beings (including ants) and bring prosperity to the home or business. What makes them even more powerful is their temporal beauty, fleeting and endlessly original.
