Much as you would probably expect if you have ever perused a dream dictionary before, the dream symbol of a staircase is related to progress.
When you are ascending a staircase in a dream it means that you are reaching a higher level of understanding on a basic level. This understanding could be due to an increase in spiritual activity or perhaps even emotional understanding, but no matter what the case, the meaning of dream about climbing up the stairs means that you are reaching new heights in your quest for knowledge. Even if you have not specifically been trying to increase your spirituality or your intelligence recently, a dream about stairs can be a great indicator that you have been making progress even if it has been mostly without your knowledge.
To dream about climbing up a winding staircase is a little bit different. The dream meaning of a winding staircase is the turning over of a new leaf, or a kind of renewal. So if you happen to dream that you are ascending a winding staircase, combining the two essential dream meanings of the two symbols, it is clear that this means you are making progress towards a new kind of renewal in your life. You are finally reaching new areas that you may have not even been aware of before. This is an intense journey of self discovery that you are embarking on, and this is what the winding staircase is there for, to remind you of that.
However, walking down a staircase does not necessarily mean the opposite of progress on a physical level, but it does on an emotional level. While walking up the stairs may mean that you are making yourself more open to expressing your feelings and dealing with pent up emotions, walking down the stairs signifies your desire to repress your feelings. If you have dreams where you are walking up the stairs that suddenly become dreams where you are walking down the stairs, you must urge yourself to re-examine the progress you've made recently and think of anything that may be holding you back.
No matter which direction you are walking in, a dream interpretation states that if you are walking up or down the stairs and trip or fall, this indicates lack of self confidence. You do not believe in yourself and it is because of this lack of faith in your own abilities that you are allowing yourself to fall. You must take sure steps forward and know what you want in life in order to get where you really want to go. This is necessary knowledge. If you are afraid of going down the stairs for some reason, this indicates that you may be afraid of confronting some negative emotions you are having. The area at the bottom of the stairs in dreams often symbolizes your greatest losses and sad emotions, so if you don't want to face up to some of your most depressing thoughts, you may have dreams about being scared do descend the stairs. These are just a few common dream interpretations dealing with stairs.

This was very interesting. In my dream I was lying on a spiral staircase, and had the choice to fall off, (death). Or climb up to a door-shaped light, (live). I chose to go up, and that is why I found this page useful/interesting. Open to any suggestions or comments. Thank you.

Well, my dream isnt any different. Im running up a winding stairs, like someones after me. And its always like Im in school but the building doesnt look like my school. Its like an abandoned building with endless winding stairs and I just kept on running. It has always been the same dream every night for 2 weeks now.

I was dreaming I was at a friend's house with my family. when we left I stayed behind to gather my stuff and I was left to go down with my younger sister. As I neared my sister who was standing beside the spiral staircase she told me she was scared to descent the stairs. I looked at the stairs and saw many spirits going downwards. Although I felt scared I kept telling her there is nothing wrong and she should come with me downstairs. After a bit I also started getting extremely scared because there was supposed to b only set of staircases until we reached the exit and we were still dissenting. I started feeling aware of the spirits around and what would happen if they saw me but I never reached the end of the staircase and never saw it.
The second part that followed after was when we moved into a new apartment. Mine and my sister's room was on the first floor and my parent's upstairs. when they left to go to work my sister was going upstairs and i kept calling to her not to go with the stairs because I was scared of the spiral staircase. As i went to follow after her The staircase changed and its height got really smaller. I got scared so I charged at the first floor I saw and kept looking for an exit only to see no exits around me just empty corridors and lots of people who were going to work.Then all of suddenly I was working to and i got confused considering I wasn't even in working age either.
Mostly i felt really lost and desperate to get an answer and go back home but i couldn't.
I recently got a fail in my exams is that what is affecting the dream?

I was visited in my bedroom,by a man who said he was God.I asked him first if he was the 'Devil or God?' and he said'God'.He then came down the staircase and said that I only had trhree yearsto live.This was very scary,as I often have premonitionary dreams.I have been very unsettled since this happened.He came down and left via a spiral staircase,which was in the corner of my bedroom,which is not my current one.

I've dreamt several times of me being in a public place, such as a school or the mall, & me walking down stairs frantically looking for where I'm supposed to be but once I get to the bottom the stairs end & I have to jump to the other side of the floor, or the floor becomes narrow & I have to walk it like a balance beam!! the anxiety I feel wakes me up every time! But what does it mean? I lack self confidence?

I'm in a military dormitory. A yearly battle starts, one dormitory versus the other. Normally there are only paint bullets. This time, for some reason, one dormitory has real bullets. People are getting shot and dying. Each time somebody dies, I am them. I feel the bullets ripping through my skin, fat, muscle, and bone. I feel the warm blood flow out of my body and onto my skin and clothes. I feel the coldlness sink in as I choke on my own blood until my life finally fades away until finally I am released, only to find myself in another soldier's body, just in time to see the flash of gunfire before the bullets tear through my flesh again. Over and over I am shot and I die for what seems like forever. Finally, after countless deaths and intense pain, after I have given up all hope for an end to the suffering, a man in black appears before me on the rooftop. He looks straight at me and shoots me in my right foot, he bends forward in my face, cocking his head to the side, and he asks "does it hurt?". He shoots me again in the ankle, shin, knee, and thigh. Then he does the same thing to my other leg. Then he shoots my hand, wrist, forearm, elbow, upper arm. Then the other arm. I lay there screaming, twisting and writhing in complete and total agony. He looks at me with a devious grin, leans forward and whispers in my ear " You're going to die now " I could feel the heat and moisture of his breath on my ear. He stands up, grimacing as he puts a final bullet in my skull. Everything fades to black. Suddenly, my vision slowly fades to white. A figure has appeared before me, dressed in all white. He extends his hand, I reach out to take it, and he pulls me to my feet. He says to me "come with me, to witness the final battle of good versus evil". He ascends a spiral staircase into the clouds. As I follow him, my vision fades to white again, and I wake up.

in my dream, i was in a pit and i had to climb the metal spiraling staircase to get out. However, as i climbed higher, the staircase became steeper. Finally, at the halfway point, i realized that the staircase was detaching itself, and even though the detachment was at the level of my eyes, i could not prevent it from happening, so it fell and i went with it.

I dreamt of going up the spiral cemented staircase. I was led by a young lady who was guiding me. For some reason i was breathing heavy and maybe scared, finally i get stuck somewhere as the next step is broken however there is some support for the foot on the left. I stop there and look up, I see few people up there. I question myself, if they can reach why can't I. With this thought I wake up, but I was palpating.

We got to a stair case where everyone was finding difficult to climb because we might fall. I saw one man i never knew him, he took another direction i followed him, on getting to the other case i missed the man and i decided i have to move on but i found it hard to ascend because the stairs re damaged so i took another rout and this one is not stair but i have to get to my destination.

When you hear about preschools, some of the first things you probably think about are fun and games, singing and running around the playground. While young children are given ample time to enjoy their childhood, tremendous learning occurs in a preschool. At this stage, kids learn valuable skills that set them up for a lifetime of learning. It is a time when they learn positive habits and develop independence and self-esteem. Several learning milestones take place in preschool. Here are some of the important things your child will learn in our Houston preschool.
Letters and sounds
You don't have to wait until your child is in kindergarten for them to learn about letters because the alphabet is taught in preschool. In our Houston preschool, your little one will learn how to recognize and name all 26 letters in uppercase. They will learn how to recognize and print their own name, along with other simple yet meaningful words. As they develop a connection between letters and sounds, they will gradually understand how simple words, such as mom and dad, are spelled.
Social skills
Even at a young age, it's important for children to learn how to make friends, work with peers and build connections. Preschool is an excellent place for young kids to learn to trust people outside their family. Even if your child plays with their siblings, neighbors and other family members, being with other kids of the same age can take their social skills up a notch. The positive environment in preschool gives kids the chance to get to know other children and befriend them on their own. They learn how to step a little out of their comfort zone and overcome shyness and connect with peers.
Emotional development
Playing with other kids and learning how to socialize promotes a child's healthy emotional development. At a young age, children don't always find it easy to understand and control their feelings. In preschool, they will deal with many different emotions. The social environment in a preschool setting is an excellent venue for them to learn how their feelings and emotions impact their peers. They learn how to solve problems, deal with conflicts and manage strong feelings in socially acceptable ways.
Numbers and counting
One of the first math skills children will learn in school is recognizing the numerals 0 to 9. As soon as they identify these numbers, they will be taught how to name them correctly and start counting. Counting is a skill that is learned through memorization. When children memorize the order of the numbers, they will learn how objects and numbers correspond.
Fine motor skills
Preschool is also a time when a child's fine motor skills are developed. In our Houston preschool, kids are taught how to use safety scissors, write their names using the most basic strokes, holding their pencil properly and so on. They are also given other fun activities that exercise their hands and fingers including doing finger rhymes, popping bubbles with a toothpick and filling a cup by squeezing wet sponges. Learning these things as early as possible helps strengthen their little hand muscles and practice using their grip.
Structure may be something that can be learned at home. But, they can learn a great deal about structure in preschool. Most kids get the chance to work with peers and teachers as soon as they start school. In a preschool environment, they learn how to follow directions and instructions which develops their ability to cope in a structured environment. In our Houston preschool, we make sure that structure is mixed with fun so that children see the benefits of listening and following directions.
Cognitive skills
A little child's cognitive skills are growing at a rapid rate. Sending your child to a high-quality preschool can promote this brain development further. In preschool, kids are given plenty of opportunities to think, investigate, ask questions and solve problems.
Giving your child an excellent quality preschool education can benefit them in several different ways. It can also help promote their development for a successful future! Visit our Houston Preschool for more information on our preschool program and curriculum.

"In Him all things hold together (Col. 1:17). "In him we live and move and have our being" (Ac. 17:28). Isn't that like "the Matrix" but everything is generated by infinite Mind of God rather than a computer.
Jesus is the "Word of God" (Jn. 1:1-3; Ps. 33:6; 2 Cor. 4:6) which implies He verbalizes God's thought, gives it "concrete form" bringing them into existence.
Quantum physics has proved material substance does not exist, the smallest particles are a form of energy.
Which makes it like "thought"—-as in a "dream", certainly a form of energy.
But it would go too far to allege all is an illusion, as some New Agers do. Rather, the analogy is only as respect to coherence (Rom. 11:33), not the fundamental actuality of all things that exist.
This is not "gnostic", Christ became flesh and dwelt among in reality just as we exist in reality, not one iota less. The incarnation happened, just as our birth happened and so we exist. This is as real as it gets, not an illusion.
To those who love God, this is very comforting, God is certainly near:
27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. (Acts 17:27-28) KJV
But terrifying to the wicked. There is no escape, no hiding from God. Imagine their response if God rolled up the sky as if we lived in a sardine can:
14 Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place.
15 And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains,
16 and said to the mountains and rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!
17 "For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?" (Rev. 6:14-17 NKJ)
There are other proofs Scripture agrees with Paul, in Him we live and move and have our being. That follows from God being the place where all places exist:
But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded? (1 Ki. 8:27) KJV
So is how the Rabbis understood it:
A common term for the Deity in Rabbinic literature is 'the Place,' which originates in the doctrine: 'The Holy One, blessed be He, is the place of His Universe, but His Universe is not His place' (Gen. R. LXVIII. 9). He encompasses space but space does not encompass Him."-Abraham Cohen, Everyman's Talmud, (SCHOCKEN BOOKS, NEW YORK 1995 reprint of 1949 edition) p. 8.
In no way does this imply God authors or condones sin, the first cause is in the Matrix, not God whose concurrence results from permitting free will creatures make their case in real time.
For example, in the movie "The Matrix" its residents made their choices, if someone drive a car it would behave as a car does driven by them, any consequences their fault alone. The Matrix was not the first cause, the actors in it are.
Nor does this support Gnostic heresy, the incarnation of Christ was in flesh is as real as we are, not one iota less.
Perhaps this has some relevance:
And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. (Matt. 17:20) KJV

I spent most of the day packing and around 5:30 pm the kids and I headed out to the land to take Jeff his paint sprayer. I taped off everything we didn't want painted while Jeff and JJ hustled around, working quickly to get things ready. By 1 am Saturday, we were ready to spray but Jeff discovered we were missing part of the sprayer so we decided to drive back home, (one hour drive) get the part then head back and paint it. We were rushing because we were loading up and moving at 10 am. Period.
We got home and couldn't find the part anywhere so we went to bed with the plan that Jeff would get up early to get the missing part from Lowe's then go back out to paint. After three hours of sleep he was off again and left me behind to coordinate the moving process. My parents, Erin, Rick and Jeff B. showed up at ten to move us and they really barrelled their way through the house. You know how you have all those last minute things to pack, like the junk hiding under the furniture, curtains, computer...well, I had to work insanely fast to keep up with them. Then after lunch, my Jeff, JJ and Eddie showed up to help us finish up. That's when it really felt like it turned into a whirlwind. (Sometimes I feel like I married a tornado.)
We got to the new house to unload and the guys all started transforming into Heman and the Hulk! They unloaded that truck so fast my head was spinning! Once it was unloaded, they began putting things upstairs, minus the stairs, just up. They just started tossing up 300 pound boxes and hefting large pieces of furniture straight up over there heads into the second floor opening to the guys on the second floor who were catching and pulling the stuff right up! They even commented that they were glad we didn't have stairs because it would have taken a lot longer to get stuff up there. All I could do was sit in the corner in my little rocking chair and stare...and occasionally gasp. And when they were done, none of them were even hobbling or holding their backs! I wish you all could have been there to watch so you could share in my amazement. Can you imagine women doing that? Me either. Manly men are amazing! I'm so glad to be married to one!
We went to bed that night in our new house, totally exhausted, and then it started to snow. Jeff and I laid in bed watching the huge flakes drift through the dark sky to the ground through our big bedroom window. It was beautiful. Then came Sunday. Oh, Sunday. Terrible, awful Sunday.
We woke up to four or five inches of snow, which was a wonderful looking sight, but we still had moving to do. We had to go back and load up Jeff's garage. We planned on meeting everyone again at our old house at 10 am but had to push it back to eleven because the roads were so bad. Once we got to the house, Jeff went to start up the moving truck and realized he must have left the keys for it at the new house because they were no where to be found. So, once again, he headed out to the land and let the others work on the garage. Jeff's a gear head and was a builder for several years so this was no small task. Clever, isn't he.
It continued to snow all day as well as never get above 22 degrees. Once we were finally loaded up and ready to go, it was 6pm and dark. Did I mention the snow? What about the road conditions? Have I told you they were bad? The moving truck was from yellow line to white line wide and we live off a couple gravel roads. Our gravel driveway is kind of long, narrow and on an incline and the eight million, tightly packed trees that run right along to the driveway are all wildly overgrown. It's like we live out in the boonies. Now imagine what happens when this caravan we were in, including a huge moving van finally make it to the driveway. Yep. We get stuck. It wasn't too bad, though, for anyone except Jeff and the moving truck. I can't give you details on the whole ordeal because I had to keep my eyes closed until it was all over, forty minutes later, but I hear it was a little scary at times. Especially for Rick and his pickup, who almost got plowed over by Jeff who was driving the huge, 26 foot van like he was being chased by Satan. It was necessary, I hear, to make it up that hill and around the corner at all cost. Sorry, Ricky. I would have stopped for you. Madison and Grace were in the truck with Jeff, and when they finally were freed, the two jabberwockies were speechless and their eyes were the size of silver dollars.
Even though the floor of the moving truck had turned to a sheet of ice and everyone was slipping and sliding with each step, the truck got unloaded pretty quickly. Then, after another moving truck stuck in the snow incident, we were on the road again to return the truck which was due back before 11pm. We made it with one hour to spare. Then we had a victory dinner at the only place open besides the Waffle House, Arby's.
Here we are now. Finally! The worst is over, but there is still so much work to do. I have some exciting things I want to show you and I'll update you on our adventures in pioneering as soon as I can finish digging my way through this mess or need another break, which ever comes first.
One last thing. Yesterday was my sweet little boy's 5th birthday. Because it was our first day in the house and we were exhausted, we didn't have a party. I did however, make him a microwave mug cake and snow ice cream for a little celebration. Don't worry though, we won't deprive him of a party. My mom is making him a rocket cake, at Isaiah's request, and having us over for a little birthday party one night this week.

Genetics is the branch of biological science which deals with the transmission of hereditary factors from one generation to the other and also the ways in which they express themselves during the development and life of an individual. It is the science of inheritance. It is concerned with the laws of storage, transmission and realization of information for development and function of living organisms.
Human genetics is based on general principles derived originally from the study of plants and animals. These principles are valid for man as they are for other organisms. Since other organism are better adapted to experimental work these general principles can be demonstrated more clearly in such organisms. Therefore while analyzing human inheritance such references are always helpful.

The Glass Compartment is a Seabase module made of glass that has the appearance of the letter "I". It provides less hull integrity than a Basic Compartment but provides a more visually appealing design.
It is constructed with the Habitat Builder and can be placed on the seabed or a Foundation. The Glass Compartment module can be deconstructed, but all attached components on and in that single module must be deconstructed first.
At the surface an Glass Compartment has an integrity level of eight and every Glass Compartment added reduces the integrity by two. By default, it can be rotated before placement using the mouse wheel.
- Hatches can be placed on the end-panels and on the floor.
- Windows can be placed on the end-panels.
- Ladders can be placed on the floor when there is an adjacent seabase module to connect.
- Reinforcements cannot be placed due to the lack of side-panels.
- The Glass Compartment can be expanded with other modules from its two end and floor panels.

Arpita Ghosal
Arpita Ghosal is a Toronto-based arts writer. She founded Sesaya in 2004.
The timing of Njo Kong Kie's exquisite Picnic in the Cemetery seems like uncanny prescience. The concert theatre opened at Canadian Stage's Berkeley Street Upstairs Theatre just 3 days after the Yonge Street Tragedy that shook Toronto to its core. It was a brutal reminder of the fragile preciousness of life and the irrevocable end brought by death. These truths that sleep beneath the eddies of daily mundanity were brought – gasping – to the surface, and intensified by uncertainty, worry, inconvenience and ceaseless updates. Incidentally, the closing of Yonge Street forced drivers to reconfigure their usual routes, and innumerable drivers detoured through nearby York Cemetery to get home. A practical reminder of life going on, even when it has changed forever.
After such an unexpected confrontation with mortality, a picnic in a cemetery seems oddly àpropos. And the atmospheric Picnic in the Cemetery — where Mr Njo's evocative compositions calm the chaos of thoughts and channel the tide of emotions – might be just the balm that Toronto collectively needs. The music, written for piano, violin and cello, is gripping. The entire production runs a taut 75 minutes and is an altogether surprising theatre experience, which delightfully begins in the theatre lobby (though I won't spoil how). The theatre's interior has been transformed through an evocative set by Fung Kwok Kee Gabriel that is aesthetic and functional. Visual projections, a creative-movement component and literary snippets all combine to add food for thought and engage all of the senses. Just how the production leverages these disparate elements into a coherent whole cannot really be explained – it must be experienced.
Mr Njo is a prolific composer and musician. Dance and opera companies around the world and across Canada have presented his works. The chamber opera Mr Shi and His Lover, which he co-created with Macau playwright Wong Teng Chi, was an immediate hit with critics and audiences when it premiered at SummerWorks in 2016 before going on to play at the Tarragon Theatre and the National Arts Centre in Ottawa this season. Picnic in the Cemetery originated as an album, and this concert theatre version introduces the Macau-based Folga Gaang Project in their Toronto debut. The musical compositions arose from of Mr Njo's ruminations while picnicking at Mount Pleasant Cemetery. And while this source inspiration might suggest a melancholy macabre, many of the pieces evoke the joys of (and prompt meditations on) living. Like any good picnic, this concert theatre is an artful composition born of careful planning and thoughtful preparation. And like the various courses in a picnic, each piece is unique and should be savoured for its individual flavour, but their juxtaposition contributes greatly to the richness of the whole. And moreso than any picnic I've been on, the entire experience is sublime.
Just after Picnic at the Cemetery opened, we chatted with Mr Njo about this serene, stirring and almost uncategorizable production.
SesayArts: I've read how Picnic in the Cemetery has been inspired by your experiences picnicking and enjoying the tranquility of Mount Pleasant Cemetery…. What have been some remarkable or surprising moments you've witnessed during your picnics? And have any of these made their way into a song in the show?
N.K.K.: The music was actually created before the title came along. In the early 2000s, I was touring with the contemporary dance company La La La Human Steps, as pianist and music director of their show Amelia. I was working with a violinist and a cellist for that show, and I would write these short little pieces to amuse ourselves while on the road. Around the same time, I also discovered Mount Pleasant Cemetery and made frequent visits there. So when I decided to make an album of this collection of music, the two just went together. Therefore, the experiences of the picnics in the cemetery influenced these compositions in a larger sense than in any specific moment.
There is a fair amount of melancholy in the works, but also a lot of joy and whimsy. That parallels with my observation of life inside a cemetery. A place like Mount Pleasant is frequented by a lot of people, runners, joggers, picnickers, but obviously mourners and people who have gone before us. It is a place of mysteries. One wonders about the lives of the people buried six feet under, whose names you see on the tombstones, and how their lives relate to ours… one naturally falls into a contemplative state in these visits.
I once heard a most beautiful "concert" there – a solitary bagpiper, standing amongst the graves, playing such soulful music. I have never heard bagpipe sounding so mournful.
SesayArts: I realize that Picnic in the Cemetery began as a recording…What was the process to develop it from an aural form to a visual, multisensory live production?
N.K.K.: My work has always existed in the context of dance, opera and theatre, so when it comes time to put this album on stage, I reached out to my friends from these communities. When we did the first edition of the work back in 2013 for the Macau Arts Festival, I knew I wanted to present a concert in a way that the audience would not be expecting.
Taking the cue from the fanciful and whimsical title, we set about weaving in elements of movement, video, space and lighting design to envelope the music. But we also know that we want these extra elements to enhance the audience's experience of the music rather than distract from it. At various times, the work has been described as a staged concert, a concert plus experience, a music theatre and concert theatre. For sure a conventional concert it is not.
SesayArts: This question is personally motivated: Over the recent months, I have confronted an unwelcome number of expected, untimely goodbyes. Also, I live in Willowdale, where we have just had to confront sudden death. Needless to say, my community, family and I have been preoccupied with the fleetingness of life and how to cope with sudden loss. Is there something in Picnic in the Cemetery that might offer solace and comfort to people like us, or something to contemplate, beyond the aesthetic?
N.K.K.: A trip to the cemetery, whether a real one or an imagined one such as ours, naturally invites contemplation about life, and by that, about death. So I think the audience, particularly those like yourself, who have experienced goodbyes recently, will have a lot more reflections watching the show than others who have not. Each one of us, of course, has our own unique journey in coping with the challenge of goodbyes. In the case of unexpected partings, the difficulty is even greater as we also have to make sense of the randomness and fleetingness of life.
In the design of the show, each piece of music is paired with text that reflects on certain aspects of living, as in the end, a cemetery is really a place for the living to make sense of life's greatest mystery, as much as it is a place to honour the dead. I feel that while this show is not about imparting any wisdom in helping people cope with losses, I hope it does provide some solace through its gentle soothing sound and imagery.
SesayArts: Picnic in the Cemetery is the first production of your 2-year Berkeley Street Residency…any hint about what you are working on for your next production?
N.K.K.: I will be working to set music to the poetry of Chinese poet Xu Lizhi who wrote about his life making electronic parts on an assembly line in a factory of Shenzhen, China. When I first encountered Xu's poems, I was immediately struck by the acute observations of his day to day and the insightful reflection of his life. His powerful and gut-wrenching words speak to the experiences of migrant workers everywhere whose existence is often forgotten. The world premier of this work [I swallowed a moon made of iron] will be in May of 2019 at Canadian Stage.
SesayArts: What would you like people to know about you, outside of your music (and your enjoyment of picnics in the cemetery)?
That I enjoy playing ping pong. If anyone fancies playing ping pong, look me up.
SesayArts: The final word is yours. What would you like to add?
N.K.K.: Picnic in the Cemetery is a show that invites you to relax for 75 minutes and let your mind wander. Let your adventurous spirit loose and enjoy our offerings. The music, written for violin, cello and piano, is a combination of various styles. Like a good picnic spread, variety is the key. At times nostalgic, melancholic; at times highly rhythmic and high octane, the music takes the audience through 19th century romanticism, 20th century minimalism, to 21st century new classical music that combined the esthetic from outside the classical tradition. Major influences include Glass, Reich, Piazzola, Pärt, Schubert, Faure, Olafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm, though they don't all manifest themselves in equal portion all the time, of course.

My laptop is now going to sleep instead of the screen saver. When you wake it up the screen is white and green. It slowly moves down the screen and turns pink and green. After it moves down the screen everything runs perfectly until it goes to sleep again. This also happens when i turn it on in the mornings (I shutdown every night). Does anyone know why this is happening?
Did this just start happening. If so, look at your latest Windows updates to see if you received any that deal with hardware.
If you have Windows set to automatically install updates that usually happens once a week. Look at the newest updates. You can Google the KB******* to find out what the update is for. You may need to click on the tab to show Windows updates.
I am assuming that no one else has changed any settings?
message edited by OtheHill
It has been happening for more than a year or two on startup. Dell replaced the motherboard, but that didn't solve the problem. Only within the last week has it started sleeping instead of going to the screen saver and causing the problem to happen when it wakes up.
I do have automatic updates and checked again manually this morning for anything that has come it. The computer is up to date.
Go to power settings and select Never for sleep. You can still manually sleep the machine but it never will go into it by itself. While you are there set the hard drive to Never also. It will power down but only if you sleep the machine and this eliminates some sleep waking errors. You can set the screen to power down if you like or just use the screen saver instead.
The color of the screen on wake up may be driver related or maybe the monitor and it fades when it warms up. As a test you can restart the warm machine and if it does it with the warm monitor it may be the driver but if it does not do it with the warm monitor then it is the monitor or possibly the cable.
You have to be a little bit crazy to keep you from going insane.
Fingers - I did find a mistake in the problem as I stated it. The computer did not go to sleep. It powered the display off, and the screen saver was not active. This could have been set that way when Dell did some work on it. Anyway, I had already set the hard drive and sleep to "Never". So, I left the screen saver off and powered off the display after 5 minutes. I left it off for 5 minutes. When I moved the mouse, the white and green lines were there. They didn't last as long as they have been, but it was only 5 minutes.
I have checked the Device Manager for new drivers for the monitor and the Intel card, but it states my drivers are up to date.
This is the laptop screen not a cabled monitor.
So, this laptop is still under warranty and Dell has replaced the motherboard? They must have thought it was the integrated graphics then. You could post a picture of the problem on Photo bucket or another site like it and then post a link to the photo here.
I wasn't suggesting you check to verify updates are current. I was suggesting you tweak your update settings to not accept any hardware drivers and the like. You can go to the Dell site and allow it to scan your computer for updates. That is the right place to get any drivers.
Some Dell laptops used to use a daughter board graphics card. If yours has this configuration, it's possible they replaced the motherboard but not the graphics card. Send it back under warranty.
Thx1138 - They did not replace the graphics card. That was late 2015. The computer went out of warranty in January 2017 (naturally). I don't know if I have a recourse by saying the ticket was in and not fixed. Probably not, but they know the problem still exists.
Othehill - I went to the Dell website and they suggested a graphics driver download. When I went to install it, the message came up that it was older than my current driver. I installed it anyway. I will see in the morning if it does any different. At least the computer still runs as do the graphics. (Whew!)
I will comment again tomorrow.
Everyone thanks for all the good suggestions!!!
The changing colors slowly moving down the screen
definitely sounds like a problem in the screen. Since the
screen is now being turned off by Windows instead of
showing a screen saver, you are seeing the problem more
frequently: every time the screen turns back on.
The screen turning off instead of going to screen saver
isn't a problem. That's something you can easily change
in settings. The problem is in the screen.
-- Jeff, in Minneapolis
The older driver didn't make a difference on boot up this morning with the exception that there were more colors. I have changed the settings to use the screen saver and not power off the display. That should work for the daytime. I don't know if I should leave the older driver or re-install the new one. The card is being listed as an Intel HD 4000 graphics.
As I said earlier, I've had this problem for one to two years. After the initial start up, I don't have any problems with the monitor (now that the power isn't being turned off). It just seems that I have seen this problem with some of the desktop monitors at work several years ago. I thought maybe it was a common or known problem.
A clearer, more detailed description of the colors and lines
and what they are doing might help. Or as OtheHill suggested,
take photos of the screen, upload them to a file sharing site
such as Photobucket, and post a link to them here.
-- Jeff, in Minneapolis
Here is the link to Photobucket. Please let me know if this worked. I've never tried this before.
Should be one or the other.
The second link works.
What is the photo of the mountains that shows after the screen clears?
message edited by OtheHill
That's my sign on screen. It is a picture I took in the Canadian Rockies - Mt. Kerkeslin.
Interesting. It does look more like a screen problem than like
a GPU or driver problem, but those aren't impossible.
This video was made in March 2015?
If it is still only lasting a few seconds at boot, I can see why
you lived with it. Annoying, but only briefly.
Good luck on getting the attention of someone who has seen
this exact problem before. Otherwise you'll probably need to
take it in to a shop.
-- Jeff, in Minneapolis
Thanks Jeff. It is annoying. But after Dell couldn't fix it, I decided it wasn't going to crash. I didn't know it would do it at other times until the screen saver and power settings were changed. Now I know not to ever turn the display off during the day unless I'm on battery.
Try changing it to one of the stock Windows screens temporarily to see if that has any effect on that start up screen issue.
OtheHill - I'm sorry, but i don't know what a stock Windows screen is. Can you clarify? Thanks.
Just remove or disable your mountain photo. It may be the cause of the issue. I am not running Windows 10 so I can't advise you where to find on of the stock screens.
In Windows 7 you right click on an empty space on the desktop and choose personalize.
Same place in Windows 10. I will let you know in the morning if that worked. Thanks!
I doubt that that will make any difference, either the screen itself or the graphics circuit or chip has a fault that fades to normal after it warms up. If it does not get worse then leave it alone. If it was still under warranty I would have them change out the monitor and even the related boards again if needed. We have one Dell machine (All in One) that has a similar monitor problem and it is fine all day and just shows the problem after a cold start in the morning. Restarts during the day do not show and signs so we ignore it until it warms a couple of minutes. This is fine since it is always turned on prior to any sales people arriving for the day. It has been doing this for about 6 months on a 3 year old machine.
You have to be a little bit crazy to keep you from going insane.
Fingers, I am not too hopeful either, but worth trying.
Fingers, my computer is four years old. Your Dell problem is the same. Mine just started quicker. Any time Dell was on the phone the computer was on, the monitor was warm and did not have the problem. My original problem of it occurring during the day was due to the power on the display being turned off. That has been solved thanks to your suggestion.
OtheHill, I did change the picture on startup, but it didn't make any difference. The screen colors last about 1-1/2 to 2 minutes.
Thank you to everyone that replied. I really appreciate it. I now have a good place to go for computer problem answers!

Of Dope and Desire
Inherent Vice
Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson
There are few cultural marriages more attractive than the union of Paul Thomas Anderson and Thomas Pynchon. On the one hand is the filmmaker who brought us the drug-fuelled escapades of the "Golden Age of Porn" in Boogie Nights (1997) and the magisterial account of the rapacious hunger for capital and the power of evangelical religion in There Will Be Blood (2007); on the other, the notoriously reclusive writer whose novels catapult their readers through the frenetic energy and terrible decay of the United States, fusing sex, violence, drugs, paranoia, and capitalist excess on the page. With Inherent Vice we see the creative energies of both occupying the same space. Such a meeting of minds is the stuff of dreams.
Anderson's Inherent Vice is the first time Pynchon has been adapted for the screen, and the first attempt to find a cinematic language adequate to the experience of a Pynchon novel. It is not hard to see why Inherent Vice, published in 2009, was the book chosen to make the leap to the big screen. Any other novel would present an even greater challenge: can we imagine a film that could follow Gravity's Rainbow from start to end, through all its fits and turns? Inherent Vice is a relatively short book and, for all of its wild leaps, has threads of plot, even if those threads are never woven into a coherent tapestry. Nevertheless, translating any Pynchon novel—any phrase, any chapter—from page to screen is no mean feat, and perhaps of all the directors working today, Anderson is best up to the task.
Set in 1970 in Gordita Beach, L.A., Inherent Vice begins as Shasta Fay Hepworth (Katherine Waterston), the ex-girlfriend of perpetually doped-up hippie and private-eye Larry "Doc" Sportello (Joaquin Phoenix), reappears in Doc's life to warn him of a plot to kidnap her big-shot property developer lover, Micky Wolfmann (Eric Roberts). The film follows Doc as he tries to solve an ultimately impossible case. Anderson presides over an impressive ensemble cast, and throughout the film Doc is pursued by his comic foil, Detective Christian F. "Bigfoot" Bjornsen (Josh Brolin), entangled with the good-girl-gone-bad Penny Kimball (Reese Witherspoon), is legally represented by Sauncho Smilax, Esq. (Benicio Del Toro), and attempts to reunite the ex-junkie saxophonist Coy Harlingen (Owen Wilson) with his family, while a drug cartel—effectively a corporation—named "The Golden Fang" leers and looms. The whole thing is narrated, seductively but unreliably, by stargazing flower child Sortilège (Joanna Newsom).
It is strange that a film that feeds off such feverish energy, that moves with such extraordinary speed from scene to scene, from character to character, from silly clue to silly clue, can impart such a sense of exhaustion. In an early scene, Sortilège describes how Doc would imagine Shasta's response to questions about her new relationship with Wolfmann. "I love him, what else?" she would have said, "with the unspoken footnote that the word was way too overused these days." Inherent Vice articulates this moment of depletion through overuse—the exhaustion of a particular moment in the USA's cultural history, the comedown after the 1960s, when the spectres of Charles Manson and Richard Nixon are always lurking close by. The film's length and its knotty, spiralling structure contribute to this exhaustion. So too does its lack of establishing shots and claustrophobic reliance on close-ups of Doc's face: we spend two and a half hours in a paranoid, idiosyncratic mind, a world where characters repeat the clichés of the hardboiled crime genre, endlessly recycling Chandler and Altman, but always under their breath in tired, slurred, and barely comprehensible tones.
One of Pynchon's signature stylistic moves is to switch suddenly between modes: to puncture his immense, billowing sentences with lyrical interludes which act as tender rejoinders to all that accumulated historical and political mass. Anderson renders that perfectly, with a brief analeptic glimpse into a happier past, in which Doc and Shasta follow a Ouija board's directions to an address where they might find some dope. They do not score, but they do frolic in the rain and we are rewarded with the emotional sincerity we feel we deserve; the scene satisfies, in Pynchon's words, "those of us still attached to the thick and sorrowful catalogues of human desire."
But that is the past, and the present is much bleaker and crueller; and besides the film cannot—or will not—sustain that sort of sweetness. The counterpart to that rain-soaked search for dope is another encounter between Doc and Shasta, a sudden and violent outburst of sexual energy that marks a serious change of pace and tone from the rest of the film. Shasta, having mysteriously departed, returns to Doc's apartment and drapes her naked body over his clothed one, which he accepts as an invitation for a spanking. It is a much sadder scene than in the novel; where Pynchon has Shasta ask Doc: "Word's around that you have this thing about Manson chicks?" Anderson renders this as the more desperate "What sort of girl do you want, Doc?" Anderson serves us a femme fatale who seems to crave punishment above all, while all of Doc's desperation and desire are released in that one confused, violent, and horribly sad outburst. Here, the film edges closest to discarding its pretence of fun and frenzy and approaches something genuinely unspeakable. But it soon slips back into the same unsatisfying lethargy, as Shasta reminds Doc that "this doesn't mean we're back together."
For all of this, the film is full of joys. Much of Pynchon's comic genius is left intact, mostly courtesy of the film's peripheral characters. "Bigfoot" Bjornsen provides a great deal of humour, when he is fellating frozen bananas or ordering pancakes in Japanese, as does Jade (Hong Chau) who works at the Chick Planet massage parlour. The score by Jonny Greenwood means the film can never stray too far from melancholy. It is also ravishingly beautiful (Anderson shot it on 35mm, not digital) from the first shot of Doc bathed in blue light, through to the scene in which Doc liberates Coy and the shot is momentarily obscured entirely by afternoon sunlight. For two and a half hours we find ourselves in a dreamy world of Californian sunshine, here plunged into blue tones, there warmed by an orange glow.
Depending on whom you speak to, Inherent Vice was awaited with keen expectation, fear of disappointment, and apprehension. Fans of both director and novelist might expect to be disappointed—but they should not be, or at least not too badly. For Pynchon and Anderson make a power couple to be reckoned with. Both are attuned, much more than most, to the fundamental inadequacies and contradictions of the system we have today ("Let's not forget late fuckin' capitalism", Pynchon reminded us in Bleeding Edge). The 1970s that Anderson creates are rarely glossy or cheesy, and many scenes look barely indistinguishable from today. The sense is that very little has really changed. If anything, capital has only tightened its grip, things have only gotten worse; American life is still "something to be escaped from." The film does look for redemption, not to be found in the doomed and depleted love between Shasta and Doc, but in a reunited family. Whether that redemption will actually come still remains to be seen.

The cultural flowering of Nuremberg, in the 15th and 16th centuries, made it the centre of the German Renaissance. In 1525, Nuremberg accepted the Protestant Reformation, and in 1532, the religious Peace of Nuremberg, by which the Lutherans gained important concessions, was signed there. During the 1552 revolution against Charles V, Nuremberg tried to purchase its neutrality, but the city was attacked without a declaration of war and was forced into a disadvantageous peace. At the Peace of Augsburg, the possessions of the Protestants were confirmed by the Emperor, their religious privileges extended and their independence from the Bishop of Bamberg affirmed, while the 1520s' secularisation of the monasteries was also approved.
The state of affairs in the early 16th century, increased trade routes elsewhere and the ossification of the social hierarchy and legal structures contributed to the decline in trade. Frequent quartering of Imperial, Swedish and League soldiers, the financial costs of the war and the cessation of trade caused irreparable damage to the city and a near-halving of the population. In 1632, the city, occupied by the forces of Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden, was besieged by the army of Imperial general Albrecht von Wallenstein. The city declined after the war and recovered its importance only in the 19th century, when it grew as an industrial centre. Even after the Thirty Years' War, however, there was a late flowering of architecture and culture – secular Baroque architecture is exemplified in the layout of the civic gardens built outside the city walls, and in the Protestant city's rebuilding of the Egidienkirche, destroyed by fire at the beginning of the 18th century, considered a significant contribution to the baroque church architecture of Middle Franconia.
After the Thirty Years' War, Nuremberg attempted to remain detached from external affairs, but contributions were demanded for the War of the Austrian Succession and the Seven Years' War and restrictions of imports and exports deprived the city of many markets for its manufactures. The Bavarian elector, Charles Theodore, appropriated part of the land obtained by the city during the Landshut War of Succession, to which Bavaria had maintained its claim; Prussia also claimed part of the territory. Realising its weakness, the city asked to be incorporated into Prussia but Frederick William II refused, fearing to offend Austria, Russia and France. At the Imperial diet in 1803, the independence of Nuremberg was affirmed, but on the signing of the Confederation of the Rhine on 12 July 1806, it was agreed to hand the city over to Bavaria from 8 September, with Bavaria guaranteeing the amortisation of the city's 12.5 million guilder public debt.
After the fall of Napoleon, the city's trade and commerce revived; the skill of its inhabitants together with its favourable situation soon made the city prosperous, particularly after its public debt had been acknowledged as a part of the Bavarian national debt. Having been incorporated into a Catholic country, the city was compelled to refrain from further discrimination against Catholics, who had been excluded from the rights of citizenship. Catholic services had been celebrated in the city by the priests of the Teutonic Order, often under great difficulties. After their possessions had been confiscated by the Bavarian government in 1806, they were given the Frauenkirche on the Market in 1809; in 1810 the first Catholic parish was established, which in 1818 numbered 1010 souls.
In 1817, the city was incorporated into the district of Rezatkreis (named for the Franconian Rezat river), which was renamed to Middle Franconia (German: Mittelfranken) on 1 January 1838. The first German railway, the Bavarian Ludwigsbahn, from Nuremberg to nearby Fürth, was opened in 1835. The establishment of railways and the incorporation of Bavaria into Zollverein (the 19th-century German Customs Union), commerce and industry opened the way to greater prosperity. In 1852, there were 53,638 inhabitants: 46,441 Protestants and 6616 Catholics. It subsequently grew to become the most important industrial city of Bavaria and one of the most prosperous towns of southern Germany. In 1905, its population, including several incorporated suburbs, was 291,351: 86,943 Catholics, 196,913 Protestants, 3738 Jews and 3766 members of other creeds.

Consumer power via the Internet
Recently, there has been plenty of upbeat reporting on new opportunities provided by the Internet to business in marketing and sales and in financial services, to name a few. Most of these developments may be said to increase "firm-power". This paper describes a proposal to strongly enhance "consumer-power" to the ultimate benefit of both businesses and consumers..

Researchers at Imperial College London have studied the effects of dietary restriction on dog's life and discovered that changes in the chemical balance of microbial populations in the animals' gut could indicate why reducing calorific intake results in a longer life. Jeremy Nicholson and colleagues followed 12 "pairs" of dogs in which one partner in each pair was given 25% less food than the other. They found that the dogs who had less food lived almost 2 years longer and suffered less diabetes, less osteoarthritis, and were older when common late-onset diseases arose. The scientists suspect that microbial population of the dogs' guts could explain the metabolic differences. Those dogs on an unrestricted diet had higher levels of aliphatic amines in their urine, which are linked to reduced levels of fat-busting choline. A similar profile has been associated elsewhere with insulin resistance and obesity.
Dog eat less, live longer

I bought the fabric for this skirt (KnipMode January 2018 – skirt 'Yara') at a fabric fair and it is a wonderful jersey with elastane. The colours are so vibrant, And it has a bit of weight to it so it hangs beautifully. It was a super quick make. I took size 46 and made it slightly bigger at the hip. Jersey can be so clingy to your body and I really want to avoid that if possible.
As you can tell from the picture below, the design calls for an elastic band as a waistband, but I opted for a casing of the fabric, sewn on top of the skirt, and 1,5 cm elastic to put in it.
It's a very nice skirt. Flowy, summery, colourful. I hope to get a lot of wear out of it. However, I lack some matching tops in my wardrobe so I must work on that. The shirt I'm wearing here matches perfectly colourwise but is too tight.
The other projects I made are the the blue polka dot blouse, which I already showed you in a previous post, some very comfy lounge pants and currently I am working on a white blouse. That blouse is a bit of a pain actually (fitting design and non-stretch material...need I say more?) and I don't know if it will end as a wearable item. If it does, you'll read about it here. It could actually be a perfect partner for my skirt so I'm really keeping my fingers crossed the outcome will be good (enough).
So yeah, there you have it. The holiday has not been a complete waste as far as sewing is concerned. I hope I can hold on to my sewing mojo when I'm back at work. More than often I'm very tired at the end of the day and I don't feel like doing anything. We'll see, I'm not gonna beat myself up about it.
For everyone whose holiday has ended or is about to end: Good luck with the start-up. I know how it feels!
On the other hand, it will be great to see my colleagues again and with our daily walk during our lunch-break we will be able to enjoy the sun some more.
I hope you have time to enjoy it too.

1.) What baseball legend struck out only 369 times in 6,821 at bats during his 13-season major league career?
Yankee great Joe DiMaggio, who hit 361 home runs.
2.) How did "a cup of Joe" become U.S. jargon for a cup of coffee?
It was named for Secretary of the Navy Josephus "Joe" Daniels, who banned "ardent spirits" from the officers' mess in 1914, making coffee the strongest drink offered aboard ship and inspiring the slang reference to coffee as a cup of Joe.
Don't forget to check the standings. Did you pass anybody? Are you where you want to be on the board?

SUFFOLK, UK, Sept. 30, 2008 -- The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] and the U.S. Air Force today celebrated the opening of the new F-15E Mission Training Center (MTC) at Royal Air Force Lakenheath in Suffolk, United Kingdom. The center began operations in April 2008 and has supported approximately 350 training missions so far while maintaining a 100 percent availability rate. It provides aircrews with high-fidelity, simulator-based training without the material and personnel costs and environmental issues associated with training on operational aircraft.
"The MTC provides a forum where pilots are able to 'train as they fight' on a daily basis," said Kay Grabanski, F-15E MTC program manager for Boeing. "It is a highly realistic training system that allows pilots to sharpen their skills without putting themselves in harm's way or adding wear and tear to their aircraft."
The training center provides two high-fidelity, dual-cockpit F-15E simulators, each with a 360-degree visual system and a robust synthetic environment, as well as instructor/operator and brief/debrief stations. The simulators, enhanced with head-tracked area-of-interest display visual systems, can be operated individually or linked to provide two- or four-ship training within the MTC. They also can be linked locally with two medium-fidelity F-15E Manned Combat Stations to allow local four-ship training. The Lakenheath MTC will join the Air Force's Distributed Mission Operations (DMO) training network in 2009.
"The Boeing-operated center provides an important training capability that will help ensure operational readiness for the U.S. Air Force," said Mike Kurth, managing director, Boeing Defence UK. "The 48th Fighter Wing will use the system for introductory, operational and continuation training of all F-15E squadrons."
Boeing supports this training capability with several key products, including the Visual Integrated Display System, Manned Combat Stations and the Big Tac Combat Environment Server. Boeing also provides the key network elements to enable local and long-haul networked training. Lockheed Martin provides the instructor/operator station, the non-combatant natural environment system and the electro-optical/infrared imaging system, along with geographic databases. SAIC provides the brief/debrief station.
Under the F-15E MTC contract, Boeing has delivered two F-15E MTCs to two other sites -- Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho and Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in North Carolina.
Boeing has delivered and currently operates six Air Force F-15C MTCs around the world and is the prime contractor for the F-15E and F-16 MTC contracts. Boeing also is integrating the F-22 Raptor into the DMO training network.

AL ASSAD, Bashar Hafez (a.k.a. AL-ASAD,
Bashar; a.k.a. AL-ASSAD, Bashar; a.k.a.
ASSAD, Bashar); DOB 11 Sep 1965; POB
Damascus, Syria; President of the Syrian Arab
Republic (individual) [SYRIA]
According to the New York Times story,.
The sanctions against Syria reflected mounting American frustration that Mr. Assad's government was ignoring international condemnation by not pursuing a peaceful resolution to the popular uprising that has swept the country since March.
Well, "gee whiz, Phil," what's going on here? Is the Obama administration going to pressure the Europeans to impose sanctions, too? As the Times reports, the Europeans are considering it.
Now remember, we're the same country that has found it increasingly difficult to isolate Iran through the use of sanctions that are primarily American in nature.
Without European support, sanctions are meaningless. Tie up Assad's personal bank accounts and the ATM card no longer works.
More disconcerting is the face of post-Assad Syria. Who steps in to fill his shoes? Well, we'll just have to see, won't we?

I know this sounds wishy-washy but a big part of the game will be the characters and dark humor of the story. It looks like a straight-up level-by-level platformer right now but when it's done it'll be more like Zelda in that it will have dungeons connected by a big world.

Several crowed about meeting a life partner online.And then there were guys like Russ Griswold, who complained that he couldn't use his e-mail moniker, trojangriz, although it refers, he insists, to his status as a USC alum, not a contraceptive.A sheer summer dress and a willing mate is all you need for a quickie in the cave, and you won't need to worry about dimming the lights.Woods Cove Behind the stairs on Woods Cove, a small cave leads through the other side of the beach.Take a beach towel or blanket for comfort and have your way with your lover.Shaw's Cove On the north end of Shaw's Cove lies a small beach that few people know about because you have to walk across eroded rocks where crashing waves will likely soak you.Still, he says of online dating, "It's better than bar-hopping." You wrote from Orange County, Colorado, Massachusetts and even Taiwan to tell me your tales and they were mostly positive.
While houses sit above this beach sex spot, they don't overlook the area directly.
If you aren't comfortable stripping here, you can always pull aside your thong for a double-time quickie.
Secret Cove Found by climbing over a boulder or swimming around the boulder at the southern tip of Tablerock Cove, or by walking through the cave at the north end of Thousand Steps Beach.
Planning sex on the beach takes the spontaneity right out of the fun, but if you are in the neighborhood and you want to stop playing it safe, a little privacy can turn ordinary beach sex into a heated full-body experience.
Unless you want to get caught, these quasi-private Laguna beaches are your best bets, but please don't tell anyone we sent you – especially if you find authorities knocking on your tush.

While our kids were in elementary school, my husband and I purchased our first old house. Built in the 1920s Destiny House stood on a generous corner lot in a neighborhood filled with vintage houses.
A quick Google search reveals that in the old neighborhood, property owners get ten hours to clear sidewalks… or be charged around $150 for services. Each time it snowed, we shoveled our sidewalks. Early. Really early. Not because the city demanded it, but because shoveling early made shoveling easier.
If we were delayed, the man who owned the adjoining properties would clear his sidewalk north of us, then shut off the 'blower' part of his snow blower at our property line. Tilting the machine slightly upward with engine running, he'd travel across the entire expanse of our sidewalks, crushing the snow under his self-propelled tires until he reached the next property line, where he'd dutifully clear his sidewalk west of us – then turn around and travel across our sidewalks, crushing the snow under his self-propelled tires, again. His method-most-convenient made it much more difficult for us.
Today, my husband and I live in another old house, on another corner, in another neighborhood filled with vintage houses. When it snows our neighbor clears his sidewalk, then travels along our western sidewalk – snow blower blowing – on his way to clear the sidewalks of a neighbor on the next block. We start up our snow blower and clear our northern sidewalk – not stopping at the property line but going beyond – snow blower blowing. Helping our neighbors. Trusting our neighbors to help us.
I want this: a world where people help each other.
I want a world where abundance simply flows, where people with a little something extra put $ in a bucket, and those who need a bit of help take $ out. Helping our neighbors. Trusting our neighbors to help us. http://marshill.org/the-white-bucket-project/
I want a world where clean water flows, so that our neighbors whose drinking water looks like this
will celebrate like this
Invent the Future by Cindy Gallop
A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages. Yet he dismisses without notice his thought, because it is his. – Ralph Waldo Emerson My favorite quote of all time is Alan Kay: 'In order to predict the future, you have to invent it.' I am all about inventing the future. Decide what you want the future to be and make it happen. Because you can. Write about your future now.

Netflix Has a Co-Watching Contract for Couples
It's a super common, and totally 1st world, couples problem: your significant other watches an episode of a show you agreed to watch together! Maybe you fell asleep, maybe you decided to watch it while they were away. Regardless, a lot of couples end up arguing about this sort of thing.
That's why Netflix has laid down some rules with a new "co-watching" contract for couples. It must be signed before you start binge watching a new series. The five rules are:
I won't fall asleep
I won't get distracted by my phone causing the other person to rewind because I missed something;
I won't continue watching a show without the other person present;
I won't talk whilst the show is on; In the event that I come across a spoiler,
I won't share it with the other person.
Now the agreement doesn't mention what happens IF someone break the rules. We're guessing that each couple chooses their own punishments.

HIV-1 Protease, recombinant - ANA72028-5 - 5 µg - AnaSpec - proteins & peptides
The 10-12 kD aspartic protease of human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1), active only when it forms a homodimer, is required for the post-translational cleavage of the precursor polyproteins, Gag, Gag-Pol, Pol, and Nef. Since the cleavages of precursors are essential for the maturation of HIV infectious particles, this protease is one of the key targets for developing anti-AIDS drugs. The recombinant HIV-1 protease (wild type, NCBI accession: NC_001802) contains the 99 amino acid sequence reported by Schneider, et al., with 6x His-tag at its C-terminal. 50-100 ng of HIV-1 protease is sufficient for FRET-based activity assays (SensoLyte® 490, 520, and 620 HIV Protease Assay Kits, AnaSpec Cat#71127, 71147, 71148) in high throughput drug screening.

Project Assurance – what could it do for you?
What does effective project assurance look like? How to assess whether your assurance programme meets your needs? Who is asssurance aimed at? What value does assurance add?
The annual conference hosted by the Assurance SIG will answer these questions and more. The conference will provide delegates with the opportunity to hear from leading practitioners, in renowned organisations, to understand how they deliver project assurance in a practical way, and how they measure the effectiveness of their activities. Presenters will share the principles, best practices, and value of assurance within the project environment.
The conference provides the ideal forum for attendees to network in a common interest group to gain practical knowledge, insights and solutions. Delegates will also have the opportunity to discuss, challenge and influence future developments in the field of project assurance through a series of facilitated workshops. These workshops will cover a variety of topics including "future-proofing" of assurance activities, questioning "what makes a good assurance practitioner" and addressing stakeholder perception of assurance in the project arena (how exactly does it add value?).
Thursday 23 November 2017
Holiday Inn London Regent's Park, Carburton Street, London. W1W 5EE
Joanne Bradshaw, Keynote speaker
Fraud, Error & Debt Programme Director & Head of the DWP Project Delivery Profession
Joanne is a Senior Civil Servant in the Department for Work & Pensions and is currently the Programme Director for the Fraud, Error & Debt (FED) Programme.
Who should attend?
- This year's conference is suitable for mid to senior managers who can influence provision of Assurance on projects, or professionals who have responsibility for Assurance and want to improve effectiveness.
- The day will also add value to those who have responsibility for Assurance but may not know the best way to approach implementation and design.
- The conference also provides the opportunity to discuss the future direction of Project Assurance with fellow practitioners.

We usually have a white canvas when building a new home and if you're like most of my clients, you will put a great of amount of your focus and money into the kitchen design.
When asked to design this new home, the very talented interior designer Rita Chan, from Rita Chan Interiors, knew she would have to design a kitchen that would be able to accommodate a young family, and this made her choose materials that aren't only attractive but also durable.
The designer created a soft color palette that combines crisp white kitchen cabinetry with a light blue island. French Oak floors in a medium walnut finish bring some contrast and plenty of warmth to this bright kitchen.
There are so many inspiring ideas in this space and I am truly happy to share them with you today. I hope you like the kitchen as much as I did!
Inspiring White Kitchen with Light Blue Island
An all-white kitchen is always a classic choice, but by painting the island in a different color you personalize your kitchen and bring more interest to it.
Light Blue Kitchen Island Paint Color
Kitchen island paint color is Farrow & Ball Light Blue No. 22.
Kitchen Stools
The backless French bistro stools are Serena & Lily Riviera Backless Stools.
Kitchen Color Palette & Textures
This kitchen has the perfect color pallet and textures for a beach house-inspired kitchen. I love every item chosen for this space!
Kitchen Cabinet Paint Color
The kitchen cabinet paint color is Benjamin Moore Super WhitePM-1.
Kitchen Hardwood Floor Ideas
Floors are French Oak- medium walnut finish. A nice classic.
Kitchen Bar
The kitchen bar features "chunky" open floating shelves, a wine fridge and a very practical prep sink.
Countertop is carrara marble.
Timeless Beauty
The kitchen backsplash is Beveled 2″x 4″ White Subway Tiles.
Chameleon Paint Color
Farrow and Ball Light Blue is a color that changes with light and it can look "blue grayish" at certain times of the day.
Wall Paint Color
Wall color is Droplets by Dunn Edwards.
Kitchen Hardware
The kitchen hardware is chrome. It looks really beautiful with the blue island, painted in Farrow & Ball Light Blue, and the carrara marble countertop.
Kitchen Lighting
The white wicker pendants above the island are Taza White Pendants by Palecek. Also, make sure to notice the striped kitchen runner. It looks great with the French oak plank floors.
Breakfast Nook
This cozy and bright breakfast nook features a white bench with cushion on one side and French bistro chairs on the other.
Table & Chairs
The trestle table with zinc top was designed by the interior designer and custom-made by Big Daddy's Antiques. Isn't it beautiful? I love it!
Chairs are French Bistro Riviera Chairs by Serena & Lily.
Vase is from Anthropology.
Laminated Fabric
The bench fabric is a ticking stripe by Robert Allen that the designer had laminated. This is a great idea especially if you have small children at home.
Home Bunch Easy Pin!
The combination of soft colors and timeless elements create a calm and inviting feel in this kitchen.
Hi, everyone!
I started my day with some delicious French toast made with cinnamon raisin bread (recipe from my best friend, Karen) and I feel ready to get out and conquer the world! Oh, what sugar does to you, right? LOL
I might not conquer the world today, but I surely have a lot to do… the list is big but I will do it as time allows… The more I live, the more I understand that I can't accomplish all in one single day and usually there's no harm if I leave certain things for another time.
I'm just learning to live my life with a more stress-free approach and I'm noticing I'm smiling much more often… 🙂
How are you choosing to live today?
with Love,

Loving these blue island and the stools and rug are wonderful! Trying to heed your advice, Luciane and let a few things go…definitely a work in progress…
That island is exactly what we are doing in our kitchen remodel!! Do you happen to have measurements for the island? Brand of the apron front sink?

Taipei, Dec. 17 (CNA) Taiwan's southern city of Chiayi officially launched a program Thursday to set up solar power systems at 27 schools and offices in the city, in an effort to reduce carbon emissions and develop renewable energy.Under the program, solar power systems have been established on the rooftops of 38 school and office buildings, the Chiayi city government said. The new systems are expected to generate 3.55 million kilowatt hours of electricity per year and help reduce carbon emissions by 1,700 tons, it added.Located on the Tropic of Caner, Chiayi City has an average 5.7 hours of sunshine per day, making it an ideal place to establish solar power systems as a source of energy, said Chiayi Mayor Twu Shiing-jer (涂醒哲) at the launch ceremony at Jhih Hang Elementary School.The school is one of the participants in the program. Solar panels with a combined area of 780 pings (2,578 square meters) have been installed on all rooftops of the buildings at Jhih Hang. From September to November, the system has produced 52,000 kWh of electricity, the school said.In the first stage, the program has so far seen solar power systems built on the rooftops of 38 buildings, the city government said, adding that it plans to establish solar power systems at 32 other school and office buildings in the future.
