Does Your Coach/trainer Help You From Ringside?
akp replied to psmitty's topic in Hunter/Jumper/EqThis is great! My trainer will normally wait til I'm out of the ring but my mother loves to make comments while I'm riding and it is the most annoying this possible in the ring..
akp started following What To Wear For Schooling Show?, Does Your Coach/trainer Help You From Ringside?, Am I Being Unreasonable? and and 7 others
Am I Being Unreasonable?
akp replied to psmitty's topic in Hunter/Jumper/Eqfor bein such a loyal customer I think it's a perfectly reasonable request
Who Else Here Will Be Melting This Weekend?
akp replied to psmitty's topic in Hunter/Jumper/Eqits been in the 100s past few days. early morning and late night rides when its not storming for me!
Just An Update
akp posted a topic in Hunter/Jumper/EqWell just thought I'd give an update on Sadie. I've had her for a lil more than 2 months and I could not be happier with how far she's come. We have managed to get a good canter and she is already taking small jumps and loves it! We even went out on our first outing to another barn and just rode some in the ring and went on a nice trail ride. Out of the 3 horses on the trail (ages 8, 11, and my 4 yr old) I am proud to say she was the bravest one and didn't spook at all even when a tractor 4 times her size backfired beside us. :) Taking her to her first show next week. I'm stoked! Here's some pics.. she just couldnt seem to figure out why this horse didn't move.. And critique if you'd like but I know my hands and legs aren't where they should be :/ http://s1118.photobucket.com/albums/k604/lucky-10/Sadie/
Pony Show Pics! (Video Added Second Post)
akp replied to Melanie's topic in Hunter/Jumper/Eqthis pony is just the cutest thing ever!! and congrats on your rounds!
Can You Do This With Your Pony Or Horse?
akp replied to psmitty's topic in Hunter/Jumper/Eqi..unfortunately do not think i could, but it looks like they're having so much fun!
Showing In The Pony Classes In The U.s.?
akp replied to Melanie's topic in Hunter/Jumper/EqIt appears to be a schooling show or a show just above schooling. I know the schooling shows I have been to don't care if adults ride a pony. You can always email the contact address and ask for the class specs?
Amazing Horse/rider
akp replied to BlakGrafix drawings's topic in Hunter/Jumper/Eqthat is amazing!
My Girls First X Rail
akp replied to Rebels_Gal's topic in Hunter/Jumper/EqThis says it all. If she isn't totally comfortable just cantering I wouldnt even approach a jump. I know it can be tempting when you're excited to try jumping her but in the long run she'll be so much better if you wait til she has all the gaits down.
What To Wear For Schooling Show?
akp replied to Melanie's topic in Hunter/Jumper/Eqi think a solid polo is good. That's what I showed in when I did jumper. I would stay away from orange or red though. sometimes those colors don't come out good on video
thanks guys :) and oh yes we've had that happen before and it's quite interesting to watch them conquer the scary bag monster! haha
I agree. The video was taken at the old farm so people could see her movements when looking to buy. She has a quiet pasture buddy now and they get along great! :)
thanks to everyone! I'm really excited to be working her now
Video From Horse Show....
akp replied to Melanie's topic in Hunter/Jumper/Eqhe is just too cute!
Girth Cam.

Earlier this year I was appointed David Allan Hubbard Professor of Old Testament at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California, where I teach and research in a number of areas relating to Hebrew Bible/Old Testament and Hebrew language and exegesis.
A native Californian, I did my first degree at Scripps College in Claremont, Ca., focussing mainly on twentieth century theology and ethics, then moved to Oxford to pursue ethics in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament under the supervision of John Barton. Before coming to Fuller I was Associate Professor of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament at the University of Nottingham (UK) and held research fellowships at Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge and Keble College, Oxford, where I also taught in the Faculties of Divinity (Cambridge) and Theology (Oxford).

You need to care for them - don't rub them, no oils on them, wash them every day or two, no mascara, etc. Then if all else goes well, they should last about 6-8 weeks, but fills are recommended every 3-4 weeks or so as you will inevitably experience some lash loss.

Vastavam web: Telecom regulator Trai today invited interest from firms to set up on a pilot basis public wi-fi hotspots that will be available for public at a starting price of Rs 2.The public wi-fi hotspots are proposed to be set up on the lines of yesteryear's PCOs that were used for making phone calls by public on paid basis."Trai invites all interested entities to be a part of a pilot to establish nationwide, pay-as-you-go PDOs. The products available for consumption should begin from 'sachet-sized', i.e. low denominations ranging from Rs 2 to Rs 20, etc," Trai said in a statement.
"In India, access to data is still limited due to poor coverage of fibre or telecom and prohibitive pricing of cellular data. Public wi-fi hotspots hold an important place in the last-mile delivery of broadband to users. It allows offloading telecom networks to ease congestion," Trai said.It added that public wi-fi hotspots will be crucial when the next billion internet of things (IoT) devices come online."The experience for a small entrepreneur to purchase, self-register, set-up and operate a PDO must be simple, low- touch and maintenance-free," Trai said.

Follow the latest news of Goût de France
The taste through all its senses
We perceive the world through our 5 senses: the taste, the touch, the vision, the hearing and the smell. They are highly complementary.
However, we often forget that the art of cooking and tasting stimulates all these senses. The pleasure is truly revealed when the flavor meets the texture, the sound, the aesthetic and the scent.
Highlighting the work made by the market players who strive to make the tasting experience wonderful. This is the ambition of the 8th edition of La Fête de la Gastronomie – Goût de France.
"The hospitality, the greeting, the smile and the interactions are our priority"
- You took over l'auberge de Saint Remy de Provence with your husband Jonathan Wahid. Why did you choose to settle in this region?
It's funny that you ask this because there is indeed a little story that explains our choice. After my apprenticeship, I've worked in the Luberon, in La Bastide de Marie, a kind of hotel or guest-house. I immediately loved it and I've thought that if I had to establish a restaurant one day, it would be there. This is exactly what happened, not in the Luberon but still in Provence.

From Earth to Plate
How man makes food from the fruits of the earth
Do you remember that time, quite a while ago now, when our ancestors used to munch on raw mammoth garnished with a few roots and wild herbs? They didn't have any sauce or mustard in those days….
Things have changed since, and now we cook our mammoth over a wood fire and dress our roots and herbs with cold pressed olive oil and Balsamic vinegar. We still eat roots - carrots, radishes, beetroot - but we like to vary how we eat them: raw carrot sticks, grated carrot, carrots cooked with cumin.

Spray thermal insulation with PU foam
Installation of polymeric insulation
If you need actually effective and long-life insulation, turn your attention to modern thermal insulating materials, for example, polyurethane foam (PU foam).
Polyurethane foam has nothing in common with traditional mineral and glass wool insulation supplied in form of pads, slabs and requiring difficult installation with the use of water-vapour barrier and fittings. Polyurethane foam is applied by spraying method. At the same time this material has very low thermal conductivity, excellent adhesion to surface, anticorrosive properties.
As diagram shows, effective insulation of building is provided by polyurethane foam layer with thickness two time less then thickness of usual mineral wool layer. This means that material is spent more economically that results it reduction of total expenses for construction or capital repair.
PU foam spraying gives possibility to obtain seamless thermal insulation coating excluding the presence of cold bridges along the whole building line, evenly coating surfaces of any configuration. None of thermal insulating materials has this property.
Other advantages of PU foam insulation:
- Almost full absence of moisture absorption. Herewith, thermal insulation properties do not worsen with the increase of environmental humidity and with time.
- 100% ecological safety: no harmful fibres, dust, cuts and other particles weathered from traditional insulants.
- Service time. Without mechanical damages, PU foam coatings are used for at least 25 years.
- Polyurethane foam is applied by spraying so that the resultant coating has no seams and junctions, easily enters hard-to-reach places and blankets all exposed surfaces and connections. This solves a problem of splits and cold bridges. Excellent adhesion enables the material to be kept on any horizontal, vertical and inclined surfaces and not to unstuck from treated surfaces under gravity.
- Fire protection services classify polyurethane foam as nonflammable material.
- Polyurethane foam is biologically neutral and resistant to micro-organisms, decay-resistant and funginert.
- Thermal insulation with polyurethane foam is performed in the shortest time possible that significantly accelerates the rate of progress of the construction work.
One special feature of PU foam insulation is necessity of applying additional waterproofing layer for protection from mechanical damages and extension of lifetime.
Our Company successfully performs all these works. Application of waterproofing layer is already included in technological process, therefore we can ensure the highest quality of works and provide solid guarantees of lifetime. PU foam insulation is sprayed with the use of high-quality foreign equipment. In the course of works performance, all specific details of technological process and safety regulations are observed. Upon completion of works, you will get really warm building.
Comparative thickness of different materials with equal thermal insulation:
- CONCRETE — 2132 mm
- BRICK — 942 mm
- EXPANDED-CLAY AGGREGATE — 350 mm
- TIMBER — 340 mm
- MINERAL WOOL — 125 mm
- PLASTIC FOAM — 75 mm
- PU foam - 30 mm
Polyurethane foam insulation costs will be minimum. You get saving in the delivery of huge amount of thermal-insulating slabs, unloading, installation of ware-vapour barriers. The whole process of polymeric insulation application starts directly at construction site and completed within a very short time. Soon after the polymeric insulation application, the facility will be ready for use.
Polyurethane foam application area:
- Heat insulation of country house
- Roof insulation
- Insulation of mansard, roof coating
- Walls insulation
- Floors ans slabs insulation
- Foundation insulation
- Laying and repair of old roofing coating
- Heat insulation of hangars, storehouses, production premises
- Pipelines insulation
At your request, we make calculation of the cost of heat insulation of your house, garage, hangar, storehouse, commercial or production premise. Call us or send your request using feed-back form.

The KNES Student Council organized a Bake Sale and Non-uniform day on 18th October 2018, to raise awareness of breast cancer. The event was a success as students all contributed towards the bake sale and the council was able to raise a fairly good amount that would go towards cancer research. The council headed by Ibrahim Al Hadiya (Head boy), Retaj Al Shafei (Head girl) and Bader Saab (Prefect) were ably assisted by Qais and Iqra (Deputy heads). Both primary and secondary were involved and the whole school turned in to a sea of PINK. Students contributed abundantly to the Bake Sale with cakes, muffins, brownies, Pizzas, doughnuts and many other mouth-watering delicacies. Most of the items were sold out by the end of the first break. Well done student council and all class representatives especially Tia Maria of year 7. Special mention must be made of Adam Shedid, Pouya Masjedi, Aringdom Miranda, Randa Akl and Mariam Mansour who helped with the Bake sale.

We wanted to take the camper out again,but we had to stay close to home since I was shooting a wedding. We found a nice small campground that has everything the kids need a pool,mini golf,playground and a place to ride their bikes! We were able to get in a little swimming before the storms started. It ended up raining on and off all afternoon. We kept the kids occupied by playing games and coloring. Noah and Lucy just liked looking out of the windows. That boy and his dog are some else:)

Kain & Noah's Award's Day
Thursday was awards day for Kain and Noah. It was at 2 different schools and the SAME time! I do not like missing anything that involves the kids and school,but there was just no way around it. Grandma went to awards with Noah and I went with Kain. This was the first time Kain had wanted me to come inside his school! Boy was his awards long. There are over 500 5th graders so it took a while to call out names. We left near the end so we could hurry over to Noah's school. Both boys have worked so hard this year and even with us switching schools they still did awesome!!! We are so thankful to have such great kids:) So now I have a rising 6th grader ( that is so hard to type) and a rising 4th grader. Another year has flown by!

Sunday afternoon we rode to the mountains and took our dogs with us. Lucy (the cocker spaniel) barks at everyone,but she did good at the park. Rosie (our new baby) just ran her little heart out. The kids played ball and we had a nice relaxing time! We are counting down the days until school is out and we can do this more often.

Kindergarten Awards
It's hard to believe that school is almost out and that my baby is moving on up to the first grade! Kindergarten awards was on Monday and we had a special surprise! There are 187 kids in K5 and only 6 had Perfect Attendance for the WHOLE year! Guess what? Zoe was one of those 6!!! This is a HUGE accomplishment for her since we seem to be sick all the time. I thought she had been out but I was wrong. She got a few other awards for doing so good in math and reading! We are so proud of her and know she will do great in first grade!

Beep Ball
Have you ever heard of Beep Ball?
Well I hadn't until the kids brought home a letter from school.It is baseball for the blind and visually impaired! The school was having an event to help raise money for the local league. It was a game between a few of the teachers and the regular beep ball players. The teachers had to wear goggles that blocked their vision. It was so fun watching the game! Those players really could hit that ball! You can go here to find out more about this wonderful game!

Field Day
Zoe and Noah had field day this past week. It use to be all day,but now it's only about 2 hours. They did the normal field day games…50 yard dash, 3 legged race, relay race. I really enjoyed spending the day with each of them. We all had a great time together!

Slowly getting settled into our new place. Lately I've been going through my craft boxes sorting out, discarding, repacking...just trying to make some sense of things with a smaller area to store them in.
In between that I've started fighting another flare up of my Crohn's brought on to missing one of my injections due to disgustingly high costs (to the tune of $2,652.40 for my 3 month co-pay) so I'm starting to get that back under control.
While doing all of this I've been piecing some autumn color quilt blocks, working on finishing the last of the granny squares for a baby blanket (which then have to be blocked) and trying to figure out my next moves craft-wise.
Right now my set up has my sewing machine on a roll away table next to my desk, a table with fold down flaps behind my desk so I can iron, sort, whatever and a closet that will hold my crafting supplies. Well some of them, no way I'm getting them all in there.
I'm in a serious paring down mode. I've been throwing things away I've had for years. Use it or lose it unless I really want to keep it.
Tonight I start classes on income tax preparation for a (hopefully) part-time job come tax time next year. In order to stay on my meds I need all the extra cash I can get. I'm really looking forward to it, I like to stretch my brain and it has definitely been stagnated lately.
Well that's it. More later.

Our Risk Reduction Division personnel conduct in-depth inspections of all apartment/townhome properties and hotels at least once a year according to International Fire Code 2015 and local amendments. If you have questions about these inspections, call (512) 251-2801 during business hours and ask if either the Risk Reduction Officer Lt. Timmons or Public Educator Allison Strupeck is available. We work closely with each property to help prepare them for a successful inspection, starting a few weeks in advance during an Educational Conference with the property manager and head of maintenance in their offices. This educational conversation covers items such as:
After each inspection, the property has 30 days to fully address all violations to comply with Fire Code. During our visits to each property, we also strongly encourage every manager to partner with us in spreading our educational messages to their residents on basic Apartment Residents Flier (which is also available in Spanish, as well as a version for Senior Citizens), and seasonal topics such as Water Safety and Holiday Safety. CHECK BACK to see whether YOUR property made this year's list of FIRE SAFETY PARTNERS !
Historically, apartments are the most fire-prone buildings in our community, second only to single-family homes. There are currently 43 apartment or townhome complexes within the jurisdiction of Travis County Emergency Services District 2 (TC ESD2), totaling nearly 10,400 units which more than 13,000 people call "home." Another 1,800 apartment units at six more properties are now in the development or construction phase. These are in addition to the four hotels currently serving the Pflugerville and Wells Branch area. Statistically, residents and guests of these types of properties face a higher risk of fire-related injuries and death, with the potential for fire to quickly spread from residence to residence or floor to floor, and escape options varying according to the individual's training and physical abilities and the building's layout, protection systems and maintenance.

How to Remove Glue from Glass
Though it is believed that glue can be dated back 80,000 years the first people to actually manufacture it in a factory were the Dutch in early 1700s. Glue has been holding things together and sticking to unwanted surfaces ever since. Glue is great when used in the right fashion on the right surfaces, but when it finds its way to places it isn't welcome, especially on glass, it can be a little tricky to remove.
Spray the glue with WD-40 and allow it to sit for 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape away the glue with a razor blade and use a soft clean dry cloth to wipe away any residual.
Cover the glue with peanut butter and use a hair dryer to heat it up. Once the peanut butter is hot, let it sit for 10 minutes before wiping it all away with a clean dry cloth or paper towel.
Saturate the glue with warm soapy water and allow it soak for at least five minutes before scraping it away with a razor. Rinse the area with clean water to remove any excess debris.
Heat a bowl of vinegar in the microwave or in a saucepan on the stove until it is hot. Apply the vinegar to the glue with a soft clean cloth and allow it to soak for at least five minutes before scraping it away with a scraper.
Apply isopropyl alcohol to the glue with a clean cloth. Allow it to soak for 2 to 3 minutes before scraping it away with a scraper.
Things You Will Need
- Razor blade
- Soft clean cloth
- Peanut butter
- Dish soap
- Vinegar
- Isopropyl alcohol
- When using a razor blade make sure to scrape in a direction away from the body and wear gloves. When scraping glue off of glass, be sure to keep the area wet to prevent scratching it.

How to group smart accessory's in HomeKit
HomeKit how-to guide is a series focused on smart home accessories, automation tips and tricks, and everything to do with Apple's smart home app and HomeKit framework.
In the third instalment of the HomeKit guide, I take you through how to group different accessories within HomeKit. This is helpful in lights or fixtures that utilise multiple bulbs like ceiling lights.
Must read review: Elgato Eve Energy smart switch
Why group HomeKit accessory
Sometimes, certain accessories are easier to control when paired together. For instance, if you have a ceiling light or lamp that requires multiple bulbs.
So to give you an example, I have 6 downlights in my Kitchen powered by 6 Philips Hue G10 bulbs. Each of these Philips Hue G10 bulbs is named "Kitchen spot 1", "Kitchen spot 2" and so on
so when I want to turn the lights on or off, I have to do it to both bulbs individually. but using this method you can control the smart lights with one tap of a button.
How to group HomeKit accessories under one switch
In this tutorial, I'm using Apple's Home app, though the same feature is available in many others on the App Store.
To get started with this HomeKit guide, you need the Home app, and at least two HomeKit accessories you want to group together.
1) Open the Home app and choose the Rooms tab.
2) 3D Touch on any of the accessories that you wish to group together, and tap Details at the left button on the Home App screen.
3) Tap on Group with Other Accessories, under the GROUP header.
4) You are now free to choose any of the other accessories within your home to control as one.
5) Now name the grouped smart devices and ready to go in HomeKit.
HomeKit Grouping tips
- Once accessories are grouped together, they will be controlled as a single unit. That includes on/off state, as well as colour & brightness (if it is a light)
- It is worth noting that grouping accessories together is not the only way to control several accessories at once. You can still use Zones, Rooms, and Scenes.
- To ungroup the accessories you 3D touch on the group accessory and then chose the option to ungroup
If you have a comment about this HomeKit guide then leave one below and don't forget to share if you find this useful

I'm Halle from North Carolina, and I hosted a Web Baby Shower for my sister. She lives in California, and our family and her friends are scattered across the country, making a traditional shower very impractical. Web Baby Shower removes many of the barriers to sharing in a friend or loved one's pregnancy — it is a very effective way to bring together people from all over, either on their own time or all at once via Skype. Bonnie's help and support in making the shower run smoothly was amazing. I got lots of compliments on how much people enjoyed participating. Thank you, Bonnie!
Q: What would you like to say to someone thinking about using Web Baby Shower right now?
A: Do it! Web Baby Shower is well worth the investment of money and setup time. You won't regret it!
Q: Choose three words to describe Web Baby Shower:
A: Convenient, fun, clever!

Second Steppers Struggle With Home Move
3 minute read
The struggle for first time buyers looking for homes has it seems, always been well documented, with the first rung of the housing ladder proving to be an illusive goal for many. However, frustrations are also being felt by some home movers attempting to get onto the next rung and purchase their next home. Reports suggest that new and growing families are having to compete with rising costs and a limited number of available properties within their budget. Essentially many young families would have to encounter a sudden windfall or double their mortgage to be able move home to a bigger property. So what can second steppers do to make their move a reality?
Map Incomings & Outgoings
Managing your finances is very important to ensuring that you have the necessary capital to make the necessary mortgage deal a reality. Check your incomings and outgoings to make sure that the mortgage deal you need is within your reach.
Cut Unnecessary Spending
We all like our luxuries, but unnecessary spending may hinder your hopes of getting the mortgage that you require. Work out what you need and what you don't and adjust the way you spend accordingly.
Overpay your Mortgage
When you own more of your home, it will free up equity ready for your new one. Start overpaying your mortgage, and make it easier for you to collect equity ready for your move. Alternatively, put this money aside so that you have ready funds available to bolster up the pot of savings to help with the potential move.
Stop Seeking Credit
Outstanding credit can be harmful to your borrowing potential, and will only add to reducing the maximum mortgage you can obtain when assessed for affordability. Don't apply for credit that you don't need, it can be one of the biggest negatives on your loan amount.
Pay Off Debt
If you are in possession of high levels of debt then it could lead to mortgage applications being rejected if seen as already over indebted. Pay off debt where you can, and don't allow it to build up.
Sell Online to Cut Costs
Selling your home online could be a sensible option. A growing number of sales are now conducted without traditional estate agencies. Selling online could save a considerable amount of money.
The Experts View
The continued press coverage of the lack of available housing shows the battle that still affects this country between the different sectors involved. Ultimately the buyer is the one that can struggle with this the most. The uphill journey for first time buyers is a well documented one but, for those looking to move this can be as difficult, if not worse. One of the common reasons that homeowners look to move is a growing family. However, with lenders having now moved to an approach of assessing maximum loan amounts on affordability, the number of children/dependants is having a much greater impact. With this approach it is perhaps to become more common place that first time buyers will simply cut out the typical route of buying their starter home and move up the ladder, to simply not taking the risks and buying the larger family home as their first purchase to ensure they can borrow what they need. If you are a second stepper looking to move home, then get in touch with the Just Mortgage Brokers team today.

How do your food choices impact on the environment?
How often do you have it?
Scientists have been trying to figure out how we are going to feed billions more people in the decades to come.
Their answer – "the planetary health diet" – does not completely banish meat and dairy.
But it is recommending we get most of our protein from nuts and legumes (such as beans and lentils) instead.
Their diet needs an enormous shift in what we pile on to our plates and for us to turn to foods that we barely eat.
What changes am I going to have to make?
If you eat meat every day then this is the first biggie. For red meat you're looking at a burger a week or a large steak a month and that's your lot.
You can still have a couple of portions of fish and the same of chicken a week, but plants are where the rest of your protein will need to come from. The researchers are recommending nuts and a good helping of legumes every day instead.
There's also a major push on all fruit and veg, which should make up half of every plate of food we eat.
Although there's a cull on "starchy vegetables" such as the humble potato or cassava which is widely eaten in Africa.

The 21 Lessons of Merlyn: A Study in Druid Magic and Lore - Douglas Monroe (Llewellyn Publications, 1992).
This has got to be one of the stupidest Neo Pagan books ever; it's hands down the stupidest ostensibly
According to Monroe's Introduction, the druids made books of leaves, with each leaf representing a character of ogham. Ogham is a late fifth century creation, one that's very definitely based on Roman writing and letters. Most of his information about ogham, by the way, is based on Robert Graves book, The White Goddess, a book Graves later essentially disowned, and one that's full of errors.
Monroe states that druids were vegetarian (p. 42). This is absolutely not true; for one thing, the climate they lived in was not one that was conducive to vegetarians; they would have starved. For another, the laws about precedence at the shared cauldron specifically discuss fork-rights, and meat, for druids and poets. For a third, two of the few druidic rituals we have specifically require that the druids eat meat during the ritual.
According to Monroe, Easter is the Gaelic festival of the Goddess Ishtar. This is so idiotic I hardly know where to begin. Easter is derived from the same root as "East," rather obviously. Middle English ester, Old English astre, derived from the Proto Indo-European root *aus-, to shine. There's no connection, at all, with Ishtar, who is a deity of the Sumero-Babylonian region, and is of Afro-Asiatic, and not even possibly related to a Celtic deity. In fact, he keeps getting references to Celtic deities wrong; for instance, he thinks the Roman god of doors, Janus, is Celtic.
Then there's the rampant misogyny. Monroe clearly has certain issues around women and sexuality (and by the way, the pictures of the young blond boy scattered throughout, and Monroe's references to children are seriously creepy). According to Monroe's chapter on male and female druids (chapter 12), male druids were required to be celibate. Given the numbers of druids who had children in the myths, the genealogies, and the law codes, and the rules about inheritance, this is absolutely false. He describes female druids having sex in order to take power from men, since they have none of their own. This is far more deeply revelatory regarding Monroe's own issues than anything approaching accuracy regarding druids. It's particularly odd given that in the Celtic myths in Irish and Welsh, the power of sovereignty is conferred by a woman upon a man.
Monroe has a bizarre mixture of modern Neo Pagan bits, fake Irish and Welsh from movies, and dangerous herbal lore—he suggests drinking absinthe, without going into the details about which absinthe is and is not safe, he suggests ingesting mistletoe berries, and, rather hilariously, has pumpkins growing in the Celtic regions of Europe as a native, medieval plant.
According to Monroe, this tome of druid wisdom is from the sixteenth century Welsh manuscript called the Book of Pheryllt. This is untrue. The manuscript is a forgery, and Monroe, who can't even read Modern Welsh, certainly couldn't read a sixteenth century copy of an early Middle or Old Welsh text. Still not convinced? I'm a Celticist, rather than a Neo Pagan, but here's Ellen Evert Hopman,
Run away from this book. It's full of stupidity.

All You Can Read Book Buffet this Thursday! July 13, 2007Posted by bookgoddess in Authors, Books, Fiction, library programs, Literature, Reading.
June 20, 2007
I know that most of you are enchanted by reading – it cast a spell on you at some point, and you don't really want to be released. It's magical how a simple object like a book can transport us to another realm. We're very fortunate to have this resource in our lives. I'm not the first to observe that the materialism and hurry of modern life have left many people "disenchanted". I suspect that may help to explain the popularity of Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings – human beings seem to crave a little magic in their lives.
So this month I will be featuring titles where magic or enchantment plays a role. Among others, we'll talk about the Philip Pullman trilogy, His Dark Materials, Alice Hoffman's Practical Magic, and The Witches of Eastwick by John Updike. So – please join us for the All You Can Read Book Buffet on Thursday, June 21 at 12:15 p.m at the West Palm Beach Public Library at 100 Clematis Street. And please let me know if you have a particularly "enchanting" tale you would like to recommend.

Stefano Canto at Dak'art Biennale 2016
11 may 2016 by art:i:curate team
art:i:curate artist Stefano Canto participates in this year's edition of Dak'art Biennale for Contemporary African Art in Dakar.
The 12th edition of the Biennale, which opened its doors last week under the artistic direction of Simon Njami, centers around the idea of 're-enchantment' seen as the reintroduction of a new energy, a new creativity and a new momentum. The selected artists were invited to present new ways to re-enchant the world and the continent, Africa. With a special emphasis on the City as a political body the biennale disseminates its activities across all the areas of the city and beyond.
With the aim to affirm the international character of Dak'art, its openness to the world, the possibilities of exchange and confrontation, six curators from four continents have been invited to propose an exhibition of three to five artists, which would reflect, overall, the theme of the 2016 edition.

On this occasion, Italian curator, Valentina Gioia Levy, with an ongoing interest in the Asian art scene and the relational dynamics between East and West, has accepted Njami's invitation to 're-enchant the world' through a reflection on the relationship between the visible and invisible, the body and spirit, the real and the virtual space. 'The Witnesses of the Invisible', the title of her selection refers to an expression used by the French philosopher Jean-François Lyotard that during his historic exhibition at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, Les Immatériaux (1985), identifies artists as those who are able to interact with the intangible and give it shape. Her exhibition features the works of four international artists including Chai Siris (Thailand), Emo de Medeiros (France/Benin), H.H.Lim (Malaysia) and Stefano Canto (Italy).

For 'The Witnesses of the Invisible', Stefano Canto has produced a new work that stresses the boundaries between visual art and dance in collaboration with choreographer Ashai Lombardo Arop and musician Alessandro Angiolillo. Stefano created a series of concrete and steel sculptures that invade the exhibition space of the museum like skeletons from destroyed cities, while in the course of a performance, a group of dancers directed by the Afro-Italian choreographer interact with them using them as an original imaginative device. In this work, it is the body that defines the architecture. The movements of the dancers complete the structures and architectures draw in the air reminiscent of 'The Invisible Cities' by Italo Calvino.
The exhibition runs until the 2nd of June 2016.

The Mist Procession: The Autobiography of Lord Vansittart
The Mist Procession: The Autobiography of Lord Vansittart
I feel that a few words are needed to explain why these Memoirs stop rather abruptly in 1936, and why the short Epilogue was written in advance of the completion of the book.
My husband started these reminiscences about five years before his death. He wrote slowly and with a scrupulous regard for accuracy. During the writing he had a strong conviction that he might not be able to finish the book. The final pages were, therefore, written to conclude whichever chapter proved to be the last.
I should like to take this opportunity of expressing my gratitude to Miss Aileen Dougherty for her invaluable help to my husband during the past twentyfive years.

The urban music genre called ZimDancehall has led to some amazing talent gracing our spaces in music as general. Riddims, a borrowed concept from Jamaica where it originated, have been a defining feature of ZimDancehall. Artists go on these riddims, say 20 artists on one riddim, each one producing a distinct song from each other. It's really fun for some. There's one guy who has now eschewed this whole concept of riddims.
When do you last remember Winky D featuring on a riddim? 2015 perhaps. That's a long time. He did a bit of riddims in 2014, featuring on the widely known One Clan Riddim and also the Ninja Zone Riddim. 2015 saw him featuring on the Groove Agent Riddim produced by Oskid. Even when he has featured on Riddims, it's been here and there, and not as much often as other conventional and hardcore ZimDancehall artists.
But then he completely stopped even doing the bit he used to. He no longer features on ZimDancehall riddims at all. He is now a man who has carved his own sound and a new niche, and the need to feature on the less commercially viable riddims has faded away strongly. But what could be the compelling reason for him not to feature on riddims? Is it because he is afraid of the stiff competition exhibited on these riddims, or is it because he is now in his own class?
The view that Winky D is afraid of competition on riddims is one that may make sense to some. (There's an inner voice saying hey, you're dealing with the Gombwe himself here). Perhaps the fear of competition being driven and fuelled by a high level of ego. Being rated with other artists is something he does not fancy, perhaps.
His sound has definitely changed and is a deviation from the hardcore dancehall in the streets. With that line of thought, it means Winky D can't stand real competition with these hardcore dancehall artists on a real, hardcore riddim for ZimDancehall. Maybe the Winky D of 2008-2013 could stand the competition. This view would hold that Winky D is not strong on riddims.
Then comes in the view that Winky D is now in his own class. Winky D is now a dancehall legend and there is no more need for him to associate himself with riddims, which are populated by lowly-rated artists. (The inner voice says, put some respeck on Winky D's name). That when you are now an established artist why waste your time doing something that stagnates your brand.
Winky D changed his sound at some point to accommodate more audiences. To make more profits. To conquer Zimbabwean music in general. With that untamed vision in mind, a continuous confinement to ZimDancehall riddims could not have worked. He needed to expand. Therefore the need for riddims fell away. He is certainly in his own class.
Riddims do not make money if we compare that to the success which Winky D has enjoyed in the last few years and at present. But to say Dancehall lacks competition in Zimbabwe would be too presumptuous. The view must be that Winky D's new sound and new path are no longer compatible with riddims.
At some point riddims worked for him, but it changed. He now has a new way of doing things. His new way is seemingly being adopted by the likes of Killer T who have reduced appearances on riddims and also have taken a new sound. Yeah, watch out for Killer t.
Back to Winky D. Should he still be doing riddims? No. There's no need to. Leave that to Hwindi President, Boss Pumacol, Seh Calaz, Dadza D and many many other ZimDancehall artists.
The most logical conclusion is that riddims are not part of Winky D's big vision. They confine an artist.
So, let's just say Winky D is now in his own class.
Your thoughts on this matter would be interesting to view.

I know that this list is going to spark an immeasurable amount of debate; There is no way a list like this will please everyone. No way. However, I've been collecting comic books since 1988 and have a fair amount of knowledge on the subject. My list, while not the definitive edition of the greatest comic book movies ever made, is my definite edition, and it will change and adapt over time as more movies come out and as my tastes change. There are so many great comic book movies out there that it is very hard to figure out which ones should even be in the Top 5, but after watching many of them and seeing which ones capture the feel of the comic book and actually follow the comic book, I have come up with my list.
5) 300
Zach Snyder has somehow been sucked into the world of comic book movies. After his runaway hit remake of Dawn of the Dead, he was tapped to direct Frank Miller's 300, and man did he shine. This lead to many more comic book adaptations helmed by Snyder, but to me this is his best. When I watched the movie, it seemed to me that he went ahead and fired his storyboard artist, and just ripped the pages out of the comic and pasted them to the wall. If you watch the movie and pause it at certain scenes, those scenes will match up with panels in the comic book. This, of course, made the movie one of the few comic book adaptations to actually be an exact copy of the source material. We really don't get that anymore with comic book adaptations, or really at all. And since all of these studios know that there is actually many years' worth of source material for the adaptations, they should use it more.
4) Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
Indie comic books rarely get any celluloid love anymore. Movies like Ghost World and American Splendor have been forgotten for the flashy heroes, but that doesn't mean they cannot be amazing. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World was one of those last hurrah indie movies before the Marvel monster stomped them all away. The director Edgar Wright was almost a part of that Marvel universe, had things not fallen out with Ant-Man. Scott Pilgrim is another movie that really took from its source material, so once again this movie is like a living comic book. It had to have been difficult to craft a two hour movie from over eight mini-graphic novels, but Wright knocked it out of the park. The characters were well developed and the fight scenes were great. I also enjoyed the great cast, and each Evil Ex was a nice surprise to the viewer.
3) The Rocketeer
Joe Johnston is a master of period films, and one of the first ones I ever saw was The Rocketeer in 1991. This movie came out during the Batman: The Motion Picture craze and helped start the huge comic book boom of the 90's. I remember watching this and enjoying the era it was set in, which in later years would become my favorite era, and the fact that it wasn't all gritty and depressing. Being twelve years old when this was released helped me like it much more; As you grow older, you enjoy more gritty and realistic movies. At least I do. In this movie, the good guy wins, evil is vanquished, and the hero gets the girl — it's very black and white. Sadly, life isn't like that. It has a much larger shade of grey, but when I was younger I understood the black and white much better than I did the murky grey.
2) The Dark Knight
This was a very difficult spot to fill. The Dark Knight is one of my two favorite Batman movies, the other being Batman: The Motion Picture. Both of these movies have one thing in common: The Joker. He is hands down my favorite villain of all time, and I love to watch him in action on the big screen and in the panels. The reason Christopher Nolan's Batman beat out Tim Burton's was the fact that it included Two-Face and had one of the best versions of the Joker that I'd seen in a long time. Don't get me wrong, Jack Nicholson's Joker is classic as well, but seeing as I've lived out some years between that release and this one, I like my characters gritty. Heath Ledger's Joker tore Gotham apart with no rhyme or reason, and that's what I liked most about him. A villain that had nothing to lose and even less to gain really ups the ante for old Batsy to stop. I'm excited to see Jared Leto's take on the classic villain, but somehow I doubt he will overtake Ledger's Oscar winning performance.
1) Captain America: The First Avenger
All of the Marvel movies are amazing. Even the mediocre ones are great — I'm looking at you Thor: The Dark World — so picking which Marvel movie should be on this list was very difficult for me. I thought long and hard about which movie really had the feel of the comic book, and the first Captain America kept finding its way into my thoughts. Joe Johnston directed this masterpiece as well, and he brought all that he learned about the 40's into the film. That's is another reason why I am so enamored with this film: I love the 40's era. To me, this is when we, America, were at our best. We united to eradicate evil from this Earth, and Captain America embodied it — Even more so when he decked Hitler (on that famous cover). This movie also had that nice black and white, good versus evil motif that I enjoy from time to time, especially since the Marvel movies now have that gray area all over them. This one was still pure. I saw this movie five times in the theater, one of them in 3D just so I could dodge the shield when Cap hucked it at the screen. That's how enamored I am with this movie and this time period. I wonder if the Wonder Woman movies will draw me in like this one, seeing as they are set in World War II as well.
Writing this list, I knew it was going to be polarizing. No one will be able to agree on a "best comic book adaptation" list. It's like trying to get five people to agree on a pizza topping. This is my list, and these are the movies that I felt best brought the comic book lore to life. They are the movies that will make me stop whatever I'm doing and watch them if they're on TV. What are your favorite comic book movies? I'm sure I enjoyed your picks as well. Let us know it the comments below!
