The Don made a design we couldn't refuse. The two-tiered design of Don's Hexagonal Gazebo with curved corner windows creates maximum visibility and exceptional interior lighting.
With Don's Redwood Hexagon Garden Gazebo, you can literally add space to your home without long-term remodeling or planning. Simply send us your specifications and needs, and we'll send you a Hexagonal Gazebo kit right to your door. You can use the Gazebo as a quiet space, family hang out area, or even put a Jacuzzi in there, depending on the size of your kit. Like all of our products, this Redwood Gazebo kit is built exclusively through restoration forestry.
- Don's Hexagonal Gazebo kit can be made in any diameter up to 16' and any detail can be added or adjusted to make it your very own. You do not have to listen to the Don anymore than you want to!
- The Don is a well designed Gazebo that accomplishes both great visibility with privacy and excellent ventilation also. The clerestory windows on the second story and the first story windows can come with or without sliders and screens for additional ventilation for the hot months. It is a flexible design where you can place the door anywhere you like and add a second door also if that works best for you.
- Forever Redwood is a forest restoration company. We manage forestlands very conservatively. The limited amount of lumber harvested from our lands is hand selected for each job carefully. We use oversized timbers and the best hardware (stainless steel) and sealants (Sikkens brand only) so that we can comfortably give decay warranties of up to 30 years. None of our competitors can do this. Redwood lasts longer than teak or cedar or any of the woods ripped out of the Amazon.
- Besides the standard options of Size, Length, Wood Flooring, Windows (sliders or fixed or a combination), door styles and skylight sizes, we encourage you to get creative with your baby. If you do not see an option or size you would like, speak up!
- Detailed Drawings are emailed within 3 business days. You can change any detail or dimension to ensure your Gazebo kit will work perfectly for you.
- Once you approve your drawings, we will fully assemble your creation in the shop for easy re-assembly. No drilling, sanding or cutting needed. Ships in finished panels that bolt together. And, if you do not want to deal with putting it up, let us know and we will arrange the installation for you anywhere in the Continental U.S.
- Call or email anytime. We have been building long-lasting, finely finished wood gazebo kits since the the 90's. A five minute call is all you really need to get started. Then just review the drawings and fine tune them until your perfect Gazebo materializes.
Your new Hexagonal Gazebo kit is built to withstand all of the elements, and will not bend, rot, or weaken from weather. We build all of our kits to last a lifetime, and guarantee their durability for 10, 20, and even 30 years, depending on your order. Contact us today about shipping and assembly options. Orders typically ship within three days of receiving your customized specifications.

We can customize our gazebos to suit your needs. Just tell us what size and what options you want. Prior to building any Gazebo, we provide our customers with a detailed drawing based on their proposed features. This lets you review any choices made and make any needed adjustments before it is built. Drawings are a great way to make certain all details have been considered and that your Gazebo will be exactly what you dreamed of.
Advanced Options
Don's Hexagonal Gazebo features fixed curved acrylic windows on each corner for a complete 360 degree view. All other windows are sliding panels with screens. Windows are acrylic that will not fade. You have the choice of semi-transparent tinted bronze acrylic allowing visibility while adding privacy and blocking the sun, solid white, or clear.
Clerestory windows include four fixed and two sliding windows with screens, and also come in your choice of bronze, white or clear acrylic.
The cupola roof makes your gazebo more spacious and the clerestory windows all around add beautiful lighting. Standard roof overhang is six inches, and is made of 1 x 6 redwood boards. If you want to order shingles (extra charge), ours are 3/8-inch thick, hand-cut redwood that are four to six inches wide. You will receive 1000 to 3000 single shingles depending on the size of your gazebo (shingles cannot ship attached to roof panels and must be installed individually). We will not charge any extra shipping when you order the shingles for your gazebo.
Standard exterior walls are 24 inches from the ground to the bottom of the window, with vertical redwood boards. You can choose to have the height of your walls be 30 inches or 36 inches instead. Total height of walls is 7 feet.

Care: Your Forever Redwood Furniture will last for decades in year-round weather without maintenance.
Depending on the wood grade you choose, even with harsh year-round outdoor conditions, you can expect your furniture to last from ten to forty years without maintenance of any kind.
Being outside year round is rough on any woods finish. The surface absorbs UV rays, pollution, constant variations in moisture and temperature and it also oxidizes. This is why most wood just doesnt hold up and the surface color slowly changes towards a silver patina over the years. But, with Forever Redwood, you dont have to worry. The silver patina is surface deep only (less than 1/64") and is not indicative of decay. Your set will last decades and is not compromised in any way by the surface color change. For example, we keep our display items as is without refinishing to show off this natural aging (we like the patina!).
Although Forever Redwood is maintenance-free, we recommended you take a few minutes as needed to clean by either hosing down and/or brushing/dusting away accumulated debris (no soap or chemicals needed). If youd like to keep your set looking its best for decades, please go to: Care and Finish
Keep the colors looking vibrant for decades
A quick power washing every 5 to 10 years clears away the accumulated grim, UV surface burning and the old sealant in a few minutes. When power washing be careful not to spray close to the surface or you may cut into the grain of the wood. Once dry, go over any rough spots to smooth out and ready for sealing. Youll need $2 and 10 minutes to do it. Pick up 2 sheets of sandpaper (one 100 grit and one 220 grit). Go over the spots with 100 grit for ten strokes or so and dust off. Then do the same with the fine 220 grit. Redwood sands easily. Dust off and youre ready for sealing.
For best results, sand in the direction of the grain (same direction of the growth lines in the wood

13 Nootropics (Smart Drugs) to Unlock Your True Brain. Nootropics – sometimes called smart drugs – are compounds that enhance brain function.
They're becoming a popular way to give your mind an extra boost. According to one Telegraph report, up to 25% of students at leading UK universities have taken the prescription smart drug modafinil [1], and California tech startup employees are trying everything from Adderall to LSD to push their brains into a higher gear [2]. I've been actively benefitting from nootropics since 1997, when I was struggling with cognitive performance and ordered almost $1000 worth of smart drugs from Europe (the only place where you could get them at the time).
I remember opening the unmarked brown package and wondering whether the pharmaceuticals and natural substances would really enhance my brain. They did, and I've been a big fan of certain cognitive enhancers ever since. I'm wary of others, though. 1) Modafinil (Provigil), armodafinil (Nuvigil), and adrafinil – focus, motivation, clarity, memory. MyMedicare.gov: Portal of Personalized Information. Zebra Habitat.

Authors of a 2013 study published in the journal Quality of Life Research noted that people with diabetes — type 1 or type 2 — experience low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) while sleeping more frequently than many doctors realize. Nighttime hypoglycemia can be caused by a number of different factors, from exercising too close to bedtime to drinking alcohol in the evening. If untreated, low overnight blood sugar levels can lead to headaches and loss of sleep — and in extreme cases, seizures or even death. The good news is that preventing low blood sugar while you sleep can be achieved with a few simple steps: 1. If your blood sugar levels are low at bedtime, eat a healthy snack before going to sleep. 2. Reference.com - What's Your Question. Blood Sugar and Sleep Problems: How Blood Sugar Levels Impact Sleep.

Used 1972 Ford Mustang For Sale. The National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS) is an electronic system that contains information on certain automobiles titled in the United States.
NMVTIS is intended to serve as a reliable source of title and brand history for automobiles, but it does not contain detailed information regarding a vehicle's repair history. All states, insurance companies, and junk and salvage yards are required by federal law to regularly report information to NMVTIS. However, NMVTIS does not contain information on all motor vehicles in the United States because some states are not yet providing their vehicle data to the system. Currently, the data provided to NMVTIS by states is provided in a variety of time frames; while some states report and update NMVTIS data in "real-time" (as title transactions occur), other states send updates less frequently, such as once every 24 hours or within a period of days. A vehicle history report is NOT a substitute for an independent vehicle inspection. Cold War History - Black Programs (Now Declassified) - X-planes.

DOHA: Not having won the Qatar Stars League after 2012-13 still hurts Al Sadd and their fans, who always look forward to every new season with a ray of hope.
But ever since the club won the league shield under Moroccan Hussain Amouta six seasons ago, ill-luck and a bit of inconsistency had laid them low in the league.
Last season had been a pretty successful one, with Sadd wrapping up all the trophies on offer barring the QSL.
This time too, Sadd coach Jesualdo Fereira, who replaced Amouta in 2015-16, will have to work a bit harder than the previous years.
In fact, he need to find out what best suits the team in the league and how to stop Al Duhail, Al Rayyan and Al Gharafa from overtaking them in the battle for supremacy.
Sadd, who finished second in the last two editions, open their campaign against Al Kharaitiyat at the Khalifa International Stadium on August 5.
Currently, the team is training in Austria where the Portuguese will have a chance to re-assess his boys in the friendlies that they will play before pushing them for the league.
Fereira must also ensure to keep them injury free in the season that would demand excellent physical fitness.
"I hope the team will be free of injuries," Fereira said on the club's website.
The 2011 AFC Champions League winner has signed some proven performers like former Atletico Madrid captain Gabi Fernandez and South Korean international Jung Woo-Young in the summer window transfer.
It remains to be seen how much the duo can adjust to the trying conditions of heat and humidity when the tournament finally kicks off next early next month.
The 28-year-old Korean, who appeared at the World Cup in Russia, agreed for a three-year deal at the club while Fernandez signed a two-year contract.
There is optimism and a good feeling, but Sadd will have to translate those plus factors into success.
Captain Xavi Hernandez, who will be playing in his third season, will also be hoping to win the shield. But to achieve that goal they will have to maintain a level of consistency.
It's difficult in a long-drawn tournament like QSL, but not quite impossible.

It has been raining for the past 2 days. That kind of put a huge damper on my outside class idea.
But it didn't stop this class.
Example: Hunter said "TITANIC POSE"
Example: The boys yelled "LET'S KICK SUNNY!"
My girls are pretty great too....
They always perform dances for me and tell me how beautiful I look.
Ahh... I will miss that. Pretty soon I will just be normal again.
But this group will always think I'm special....
Did that sound as lame as I think it did?

Urban Extension
Proponents of urban air mobility (UAM) define the concept as on-demand commercial air transport, and not the private aviation context within which helicopters fly over cities today. The question for airlines is whether they should be interested or concerned.
Airbus and Boeing see more potential in UAM than simply replacing helicopters with quieter, cleaner, potentially safer and more publicly acceptable electric vertical-takeoff-and-landing (eVTOL) vehicles. They look at megacities around the world wrestling with how to provide transportation infrastructure for growing populations and see the potential for competition with commercial aviation.
Faced with the prospect of investing billions to build more roads, airports, high-speed railways or hyperloops, the relatively "infrastructure-light" promise of short-range air transport may appeal to city planners. All-electric urban air taxis could rise above traffic gridlock to connect existing transportation nodes—airports and bus, metro and train stations—more efficiently.
Air taxis could connect these hubs to business centers, malls and venues, and, as propulsion technology improves, they could reach out to the suburbs to reduce commute times and even further to nearby cities to provide efficient, frequent business connections.
But is the idea feasible? Skeptics cite challenges with battery technology, airworthiness certification, vehicle noise, airspace integration and public acceptance. But for small, short-range eVTOLs—flying two to four people 30-50 miles—battery technology is already adequate. Airbus, Boeing and others are flying experimental aircraft, and Uber plans demonstration flights over cities in 2020.
Certification requirements for eVTOLs are taking shape in Europe and the US and should be ready to enable commercial operations to begin by the mid-2020s. Airspace integration will be an extension of unmanned traffic management work already underway to enable routine operation of drones. And suitable infrastructure already exists in cities in the form of rooftop helipads and parking decks.
Public acceptance may prove a thornier problem, although a new study by Airbus finds one in two people surveyed in Los Angeles, Mexico City, New Zealand and Switzerland supported UAM. The main concerns are safety, noise and equality—with the potential for air taxis being perceived as a premium service only for the wealthy, as helicopters are viewed today.
Proponents maintain eVTOLs will be safer than helicopters and cars, but the safety levels now expected from commercial aviation may be hard to achieve, at least initially. Noise looks more tractable, as the requirement is to blend into the background noise in busy cities and not the quiet countryside. Companies flying eVTOL prototypes claim noise levels 100 times quieter than helicopters.
UAM is expected to begin as a premium service, flying routes already served by helicopters, because initial vehicles will be expensive and limited in capability, and demand for flights between airports and business centers and sporting venues is well established. But Uber and the eVTOL vehicle developers envision UAM as an affordable service and part of the public transportation mix in cities.
This will require low manufacturing and operating costs and high utilization rates unlike any previously seen in aviation. To make its aerial ridesharing service competitive on cost and convenience with owning a car, Uber envisions hundreds of eVTOLs making thousands of flights a day over each city.
Where does commercial aviation fit in to this picture? Airports will likely be first to feel the impact of UAM if eVTOLs increase the accessibility and affordability of existing helicopter links. In Germany, Frankfurt Airport operator Fraport is working with Daimler-backed eVTOL developer Volocopter to develop concepts for ground infrastructure and operations required for air taxis at airports. The cooperation is focused on enabling smooth passenger handling and efficient integration into existing infrastructure using so-called Volocopter Ports to link urban transportation junctions and provide connections to the airport using Volocopter's two-seat autonomous multicopter eVTOLs.
In gridlocked cities, UAM could provide more reliable connections to airports. Airbus is gaining experience in UAM through its subsidiary Voom, which is providing on-demand helicopter service in Sao Paulo and Mexico City. Airport connections are proving to be key routes.
Blade, an on-demand helicopter service connecting downtown Manhattan heliports with the New York-area airports, says it is developing an infrastructure that can easily migrate to eVTOLs as they become available.
While Los Angeles and Mexico City are seen as early targets for UAM deployment because of their traffic congestion and lengthy commutes, countries such as New Zealand and Switzerland are more interested in eVTOLs as a way to support growing tourism while minimizing the impact on the environment.
Small, short-range aircraft may not seem to be the business of today's airlines, and the technology has yet to prove itself, but the potential of UAM to change how people travel around cities should not be ignored.

Key point
The High Court recently issued an important decision considering the distinction between damage and defect, when these become apparent and their effect on the Statute of Limitations.
The court rejected an application by a defendant seeking to have a claim statute barred, where more than six years had passed since a defective Certificate of Compliance was prepared by an engineer.
A Certificate of Compliance with Planning Permission and Building Regulations was issued on 23 March 2006 by the First Named Defendant in respect of a property in Leitrim. The Plaintiffs purchased the property on 12 July 2006, in reliance on the Certificate of Compliance. They subsequently entered into a contract to sell the property on 28 May 2008. The Plaintiff became aware that certain conditions of the planning permission had not been complied with on 10 June 2008. The proposed purchaser rescinded the contact as the Plaintiff could not complete the sale, due to the issues with non-compliance with planning permission conditions on 16 October 2008. Proceedings were issued seeking damages for negligence, breach of duty and breach of contract on 26 May 2014.
The proceedings were issued in excess of six years from the date on which the defective Certificate of Compliance was prepared by the first named defendant, but less than six years before the rescission of the contract for sale by the proposed purchasers.
The High Court took the view that while there was a defect in the Plaintiff's title which occurred when the property was acquired in July 2006, no damage occurred until the Plaintiff tried to sell the property in 2008. It was held that the date of damage was the date on which the contract was rescinded, since "it would have been open to the purchaser to complete the sale for the agreed price notwithstanding the defect in the title and thus the plaintiff would have suffered no loss." While the defect existed in July 2006, the damage was not suffered until October 2008, when the contract was rescinded. This was the point in time that the damage occurred.
The case has far reaching implications for solicitors and other professionals regarding potential professional negligence actions. Previously it was considered that the cause of action in such cases would accrue on the date the defective certificate was furnished, notwithstanding that the error might not in fact been discovered until many years later. This High Court decision holds that where a negligent act gives rise to a contingent risk of financial harm, it is only when the adverse contingency arises that actionable damage has been suffered. This decision potentially exposes professionals to liability for actions which have long since passed, and where the professional may not have retained any records due to the passage of time.
The case is under appeal and we will provide a further update as soon as there are any further developments.

Players taking part in the competition that was temporarily suspended last year over a ban on Israeli symbols.
Eleven Israeli players are taking part in a judo competition in the United Arab Emirates after the tournament was temporarily suspended last year over a ban on Israeli symbols during the medal-awarding ceremony.
The Abu Dhabi Judo Grand-Slam, which started on Saturday and runs for three days, includes athletes from 62 countries. Israel is represented by six male and five female competitors.
The International Judo Federation suspended the Abu Dhabi Grand Slam from its schedule, but it was reinstated in September after its UAE organisers promised equal treatment to Israeli athletes.
Last year, the UAE organisers had singled Israel out with a ban on displaying its flag or playing its anthem during the tournament when one of its athletes was awarded a medal.
At the Abu Dhabi event last year, Israeli athletes competed under the IJF flag because the UAE does not recognise of Israel as a state.
The UAE, like many Arab countries, does not have diplomatic and economic relations with Israel. But there have been signs of normalisation of ties, especially on the sporting field.
In May, Israel hosted the cycling teams of UAE and Bahrain at the 101st Giro d'Italia cycling competition in Jerusalem.
Recent US media reports have also revealed security cooperation between Israel and the UAE.
UAE leaders have allegedly used Israeli spyware to spy on Gulf leaders, including the Qatari emir.
The steps of informal normalisation between Israel and UAE come as artists and sport teams refuse to participate in activities held in Israel in protest against its occupation of the Palestinian territories.

When Twine' eponymous album appeared on Ghostly in 2003, it was met with a justifiably rapturous response by listeners and critics alike. Painstakingly assembling the release' material through file-sharing from their respective home bases in Baltimore, Maryland, and Boulder, Colorado, Greg Malcolm and Chad Mossholder gave birth to one of the year' most haunting releases, a collection of hallucinatory sound-scapes teeming with phone conversations and ethereal vocals.
But it would be disingenuous to begin any article on Twine' new full-length, Violets, without first addressing why it took five years for it to surface, especially when the duo had it ready long before Ghostly decided to issue it. Responding via e-mail, Malcolm cites profound transformational changes within the music industry as one reason, and the label' desire to release it "in the right environment at the right time as a second," a conundrum of sorts, however, given that perpetual transformation can prevent that 'right time' from ever happening. "After four years," he says, "I felt personally hopeless about the release and lost faith basically in the entire indie-electronic music business." Venting his frustration online and wanting to update puzzled Twine devotees, Malcolm posted to the IDM list and his personal e-mail list the reasons why the release was taking so long to appear. Perhaps that helped accelerate the process because soon thereafter Ghostly decided that the time for its release had arrived. In Malcolm' own words, the release process is, in general, one that's "unclear, subjective, and drawn out."
Mossholder is less despairing and more diplomatic in his explanation. He stresses the band and label' mutual desire to "release something special for the listener,†refers to the time and love the duo put into the album, and concedes that "it's a complicated time for artists and labels." He even charitably credits Ghostly for sticking with the group and helping it see the record to fruition, especially when "other labels may have seen the Twine album as too much of a niche market and dropped it." If there' an upside, it's that, even though the pair worked most intensively on Violets' material during the 2003-04 period, Malcolm and Mossholder were able to continually edit and update the tracks and their proposed sequencing while they awaited the release date.
Other factors intervened too. "Life in general interceded as my personal life went from stability, to chaos, and then back to something approaching normal," Malcolm says, "and both Chad and I delved into our careers and personal lives when it started to become apparent that the album' release would be delayed indefinitely." Mossholder turned his attention to orchestral composition and became heavily involved in writing music and creating sound design for the video game industry. "I've been collaborating with multi-media artist and author Mark Amerika and am currently scoring his latest feature-length film," he says. "It's quite an amazing piece of work. Mark's imagery is highly unique and provocative, and the score is very much like Twine music. The end result is an hallucinatory audio-visual experience which will be travelling through museums around the world and film festivals; I expect a DVD release will follow.†The pull of domestic life entered the picture too, with Mossholder marrying, having a daughter, and relocating to Austin, Texas while Malcolm also moved to a new region, took on a new career, and settled down. "We're both 35 years of age,†he muses, "and we were 25 when we started Twine. So much has changed in the last 10 years, but I'm thankful that Chad and I are still best of friends."
Their friendship began in high school when shared musical tastes (Skinny Puppy, Sonic Youth, Fripp and Eno, Warp, Underground Resistance) sparked initial forays into music-making. After forming Twine, the two issued music on Hefty (2000′ Immediate Action #3), Komplott (2001′ Circulation), and Bip-Hop (2002′ Recorder) prior to the Ghostly move (Twine also released—a bit under the radar, by its own admission—At Land on the MP3 label Rope Swing Cities in 2006). While influences on their music include John Cage, Stockhausen, Autechre, My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Joy Division, A Silver Mt Zion, Cranes, Cocteau Twins, film composers Howard Shore and Danny Elfman, Black Sabbath, and even Fellini (Twine' 'Asa Nisa Masa' references 8 ½: it's the magic chant the young Guido Anselmi believes has the power to make the eyes in a portrait come to life). Twine' sound is uniquely its own, something clearly heard on Violets, a fully-realised statement whose cumulative impact is intensified by its immersive, dream-like flow.
A so-called "requiem for the new dark age," the album deftly bridges micro- and macroscopic levels and largely strips Twine' sound of the IDM-associated traces that sometimes colour its previous output. Certainly the new material' psychedelic ambiance and tremolo guitars suggest the group now has more in common these days with Set Fire To Flames than Autechre. The album' pronounced guitar focus asserts itself in the title song, where the listener is slowly drawn into an undertow that grows progressively more disorienting. On 'Small,' one imagines a lonely guitarist on a backwoods porch pulling the song' graceful themes from the air while rain plummets from the skies. And speaking of Cranes, the group' Alison Shaw drapes her fragile voice around hypnotic guitar figures in 'Endormie,' while Gail Schadt's lovely voice becomes a beacon of light emanating from the dark centre of 'From Memory.'
The album' thematic preoccupation with voice communication emerges when a truck driver' prosaic CB musings are paired with epic instrumental shudder in 'Longsided,' and even more dramatically during 'In Through the Devices,' when the listener bears witness to a phone conversation between an older man, an uncle perhaps, and a desperate teenage girl intent on leaving home. While disembodied communication can be alienating, it also focuses concentration and heightens sensitivity; certainly the devastating exchange within this song attests to that. Malcolm agrees, noting that the song' phone conversation illustrates the degree to which powerful emotion can seep through sterile devices, much as it does in Twine' own music; that such private moments can become voyeuristic fodder for public examination feeds into the paranoiac dimension of the band' sound too. "Technology can bring us together, and Greg and I couldn't work on our music without it," says Mossholder. "That being said, I agree that a lot can be lost in translation when communicating via new technology, and that meaning, tone, and emotions can get scrambled and misinterpreted.†Both also acknowledge the price that comes with living far apart and collaborating via file-sharing. Malcolm, for example, concedes that closer proximity would have allowed the band' sound to have evolved in more focused manner and that Twine consequently "would be much further along."
Having essentially completed the album so long ago, they continued producing new material while waiting for the album' release and consequently now have a significant stockpile. Malcolm quips, "Chad and I need to start the process of compiling all of this material and forming it into something coherent, maybe release a Twine: The Lost Years album or something like that." They've also been discussing the idea of forming a live band (guitar, bass, keyboards) with a female front singer and doing a DVD release. A few special dates in support of the album are in the works, and the pair would love to play in Europe given that Twine' fan base is larger overseas than at home.
The two are anything but precious when it comes to Violets' "meaning" with both happy to let listeners write their own narratives to the album' songs. "Once we give birth to our art and let it out into the world, what we intended in part becomes irrelevant," says Malcolm, "which is not to say that it doesn't represent an artistic vision emanating from the mind of the artist, but more that people will create their own narratives and find connections we never even thought about." Mossholder concurs: "Music is narrative whether you intend it to be or not. Our intentions, of course, for Violets were for the entire work to be a narrative. But if one doesn' find it to be that way, that's fine also.†Still, he says, "I hope everyone will find the album to be more like an intense film than a music album." Malcolm admits that the two often embed clues into their music and are thrilled when fans "figure" them out, but they're often more impressed when presented with different interpretations of what listeners have heard. When I propose a narrative trajectory that moves from modest hope ('Small') to desperation ('In Through the Devices') and eventual rebirth ('Something Like Eternity'), they're accepting of the interpretation but stress it's merely one of many. "The themes that you're picking up on are themes we like to delve into and have explored in the past,†says Mossholder. "There is something about the current state of the world that's both beautiful and alienating. It's the constant push and pull between the mundane moments in life and our dramas and dreams that keeps us going. I find that even the most commonplace event can take on meaning when viewed out of context."
Pressed to elaborate on Violets' presumed themes (for example, the music business, politics, culture and technology), Mossholder refuses to commit himself one way or the other. "I don't like to impose meaning on things," he says. "Violets is how you perceive it. I personally wouldn' say that anything on the album is overtly political, cultural-social, technological or music business-related. And if it is, it's all an illusion. And if it isn' maybe you missed it.†Malcolm, on the other hand, is more direct: "The album was not created in a vacuum; I was personally affected by what I saw in the run up to the war in Iraq, and everything that I'd learned from a more classical background in history and international politics was offended. How this literally carried over into the material was through field recordings of anti-war marches and rallies and debates I had with people who had this war fever."
When asked whether the turmoil associated with life in the post-2000 Bush era influenced the album' sometimes bleak tone, Mossholder says, "It's bound to come out in the things we create, our actions, and everyday conversations. I think the situation has affected the disembodied voices that drift throughout the album more than us." Malcolm doesn't equivocate in his assessment: "The last seven years have been a disaster for the United States: conservative governance (and lack of it) has damaged the country, economically, politically, spiritually, and by almost any other indicator." He pointedly characterises the present administration as one of "incompetence, authoritarian impulse, manipulation, and arrogance." Mossholder' careful to note, however, that, even if the country' political climate were different, Violets would still feel much the same, given how emblematic the work is of Twine' sound: "It's who we are," he says, "it's the sounds we choose to use are, in fact, drawn to. I very much believe in Jung' theory of the collective unconscious, especially with regards to creating art. Oftentimes, we channel things into our art and don' realise it until the work is complete. It operates on a sort of surrealist level for me: the concept of convulsive beauty," he says. "We are all Maldoror" – a reference to Les Chants de Maldoror, the 19th-century prose poem written by the Comte de Lautreamont that served as a key inspiration to Surrealism-associated figures like DalÃ, Artaud, Duchamp, Ray, and Ernst, and to current experimental music artists such as Current 93 and cellist Erik Friedlander.
Ultimately, for Malcolm at least, "The story of the album' release was a lesson in the limits and sometimes expansion of commercial art and expectations, personal relationships, informal information, distance, movement, change, success and failure … and rebirth.â€

I decided to toss the peas due to the aphid infestation.
My battle for them has been waging for a few weeks now. They need to be attacked daily with heavy rinses to get them off the plants. I can't dedicate that time on my work days. I spent the first hour this morning hosing down the two pots of peas. The Sugar Snaps were bearing the worst of the infestation. They are dying from the base up as the plants try to throw their weight into their fruit. But even that isn't enough. The fruit was stunted and curled and the leaves growing more pale by the day. Every time I rinsed them a flood of aphids fell from the plants. Due to the dense nature of my garden this puts other plants at risk. And so am I. The peas have lately collapsed and when I brushed against them my chest got covered in aphids.
We have a problem.
If I had them in ground they'd be more robust. The nature of the container makes for a harder task. The plants try but they cannot deal with the heavy infestation. It is frustrating but fort he sake of the rest of the garden I decided to toss them.
My mother keeps asking how they are stopped naturally. Predatory insects. Aphids are fragile and slow. Normally, lady bugs are a huge killer of aphids. As well as predatory caterpillars. But we live in suburbia and pesticide is everyone's best friend. We couldn't possibly have insects. This constant and indiscriminate poisoning means that a suburban gardener like me may have few to no natural predators.
After watching the rain of aphids threaten my peppers as well, I decided to bail on the peas. I can't grow enough plants for a big harvest and by the time they are really producing it starts to get to hot. I think I'll cross peas off of my list for next year. They are very easy to grow and very tasty. I think they are a great addition to the garden and if I had not had mine infested with aphids I'd be happier this time around.
Most of the rest of the plants are more robust. The cucumbers are furry and covered in spikes for instance. The tomatoes grow harder stalks as the age as do the peppers. I've sutured the area with DE and hopefully I can stop the infestation from growing before the heat brings out more insects.
It is pretty frustrating stuff.

Narcissism isn't just a personality type that shows up in advice columns; it's actually a set of traits classified and studied by psychologists. But what causes it? And can narcissists improve on their negative traits? W. Keith Campbell describes the psychology behind the elevated and sometimes detrimental self-involvement of narcissists.
The psychology of narcissism – W. Keith Campbell – Mind Video
Thank you so much for the most beneficial information and help on narcissistic abuse I've ever come across. I very much understood the desperation and clinging like a 3 years old, the lying…and terror of abandonment you spoke about. Just about everyone of my relationships has been with an abusive narcissist and only in maybe the last two years was i aware of my situation, I've too struggled with alcohol, food, drugs, sex…cigarettes. I feel like i wish I could see you as a therapist. I've never heard anyone speak on this topic with so much hope for recovery. In my past I've tried to end my life in reaction to abandonment, nearly drank myself to death for years. Please if you would be so kind as to make me aware of all the resources you have available online it may save and finally change my life. It has taken over my life and the pain and embarrassment around my family is awful. I stay in bed for days, unable to function, sick to my stomach, paranoid, hostile…out of my mind…then I make up with whoever the narcissist is in my life at that time and i snap back to life and reality, I'm happy and nice. ..taking care of myself, not going a week without showering or changing with poor eating habits contemplating suicide. Listening to your story was the most inspired I've ever been in believing that i also can heal…it's unfamiliar territory but i want to be alone and do whatever it takes to never again engage in this insane behavior. Thank you again…Have a great day! Sincerely, Christine
In my family… In first relation there are 3…4 characters infront of whom we have to accept secondary or slave category because they abuse mentally and physically and every thing ….. The damage is to this extent that they dont leave kids also. They destroy everything ?
they create fear 24 hour and are trying to capture your mind ?
Is that Donald Trump on that podium 😉
Thanks Some good constructive thoughts in this.
This page is starting to seem a bit obsessed

What Do Our Clients Say?
"After working with ROMIP, I feel happier, healthier able to fit clothes better and got my first strict chest to bar pull up with a better power to weight ratio."
"ROMNC helped me to see that I was fuelling my body with the wrong types of food, carb heavy and poor nutritional value. I needed more protein and fat in my day to feel 'fuller'. After around 3 months of coaching my weight reduced to 78kg, a 6kg loss."
"I used to binge eat in the evening and blamed this all on 'emotional eating' or boredom. I also put the blame on my family members for having junk food around as a temptation that contributed to my issues. I've since taken responsibility for, and control over, my eating habits."
"I no longer have struggles on the binge eating in my evening. Post coaching with ROMNC, I'm still able to keep up healthy habits and continue to support a healthy lifestyle and exercise."

Soccer practice was over. Homework was done. The dinner dishes were clean. So we all headed upstairs to get ready for bed, do the third grader's out-loud reading, and watch the end of the 7th game of the World Series.
Indians versus Cubs. Two teams you want to cheer for because success must be sweeter for an almost-forever underdog. We are Rockies fans, so we know. And while we decided that 1948 and more than a century feel equally bad, we went for the longest-time loser.
And our former outfielder – a Rocky turned Cubby – started the game with an historic walk-on homerun.
But the second I closed my third grader's The Worst Class Trip Ever, I crashed into a deep sleep. So did my husband and the third grader, while the older boys watched and cheered around us. It has been a very busy few weeks.
Then suddenly… "Cubbies won! Cubbies won!" Boys jumping on the bed. Hi-fiving. Our dog, disturbed from slumber, barking. Three once sleeping bodies trampled on. "Go Cubs!"
An exciting Series for two teams who have wanted it for so long. Sadly, mom, dad and the third grader missed its thrilling end. Sometimes, no matter how much you want to see the ninth inning or the tenth – history in the making – your typically insignificant eyelids wield their power. And you sleep.

Yet he returned to the spotlight in February in an all-encompassing tweet storm that covered everything from bonds, bitcoins, infrastructure, and Elon Musk.
The plummeting stock market seemed to be the impetus behind the 21 hour discourse. After the stock market's February fall, Pishevar tweeted a series of fifty points detailing his market predictions. As 2018's gains were wiped out with the stock market's fall, Pishevar posited that 2017's gains will also be wiped out due to "rising interest rates, increasing credit account deficits and tax giveaways." He went on to argue that the practice of quantitative easing may have helped reset markets but has been used too many times to be effective. "Quantitive Easing [sic] is only thing that has ever had long term predictable results out of their toolset. Don't be fooled by it."
Shervin Pishevar then turned to the future of the bitcoin ("Bitcoin will continue to crash but stabiliza at 2-5k range and begin a more stable rise over next 24 mos's") and the sad state of US infrastructure ("Meanwhile our infrastructure is in tatters, decrypt and decaying. Our government and companies are trapped in short term thinking."). On a more positive note, Pishevar believes that crumbling infrastructure will create at least one positive result for Virgin Hyperloop, of which Shervin Pishevar is co-founder: "Moonshot like SpaceX + Virgin Hyperloop One rise but they suffer derision until teams will it to reality. Exceptions to rule."
The ideas Pishevar expressed on Twitter do not represent new ideas. He has expressed them all before. Still, they are still worth consideration. Shervin Pishevar's 2008 prediction regarding Facebook's eventual identity crisis proves his canny ability to predict the future. Somewhere within his 50 tweets is sure to be much more than just a grain of truth.

Audible will produce The Path to Pride, an event inspired by the new Audible Original of the same name, and a live storytelling experience featuring personal stories around LGBT pride co-hosted by Lance Bass and Nikky Levy on June 25th.

Expressing enthusiasm for Audible's plans for the Minetta Lane, President of Liberty Theatres and Executive Vice President of RDI, Margaret Cotter said, "We think the commitment that this high energy company has made by bringing exciting new works and a variety of offerings is a thrilling and unprecedented opportunity for New York audiences and will help rejuvenate Off Broadway."
Last year, Audible announced a $5M fund to commission and produce new one- and two- person works by emerging playwrights from around the world driven by language and voice, in keeping with Audible's core commitment to elevate listening experiences through powerful performances of brilliantly composed words. The first class of fifteen theater commissions includes Aaron Mark, Aditi Bernnan Kapil, Antoinette Nwandu, Bridgette A.

One primary reason why home upgrade Pond Rock is highly loved among individuals is the fact that it improves the value of a residence. Whether you desire to boost the value 3026 or the functionality of your home, the following makeover will certainly bring you to attain both goals.
The majority of remodeling experts, Melissa Edwards, agree with the fact that front doorstep should be the top transformation goal. Entrance door is low in servicing and fine front door provides nicer initial reaction. If perhaps you must choose between solid wood or steel front doors, you must opt for metal entrance doors.
Immediately after updating the front door Pond Rock, constructing hardwood patio can be the next transformation objective. Wooden deck area is always valued highly by prospective house buyers, and additionally it is possible to build it with low investment.

Those of you among the blogosphere, and particularly those of you among the metal community, may have encountered upon Invisible Oranges, the best of all the metal blogs out there, run by Cosmo Lee. That is, up until today. Yes, Cosmo is retiring from running the site, in pursuit of other things in life that up to now have been tied up from running Invisible Oranges.
Cosmo has put in an incredible shift since first starting Invisible Oranges, stating in his leaving announcement that he often worked 30-40 hour weeks, seven days a week, totalling thousands of unpaid hours and a constant battle with a huge surge in submissions and press releases. We serve and receive only a tiny fraction of this so you can imagine what the guy has been up against at times.
Invisible Oranges was probably the first metal blog I ever came across and without a doubt was the main inspiration in starting up We Must Obey. Cosmo's writing is unparalled – he writes about bands and albums and music in general in a way that nobody else does. It's not just crushing riff here, blistering beat there. Cosmo's ability to write as though its an actual experience, a journey – that's what sets him apart from other writers out there. His taste in music has led me to check out bands I would otherwise not be familiar with, and is about to conclude an epic series on each track from Metallica's first four albums, which is simply essential reading!
With that in mind, we here at We Must Obey would like to extend hails and horns to Cosmo and wish him the best in whatever he does in the future. And to the people taking over IO, good luck in continuing with the best blog in the business!

It was my Dad's 80th birthday last Friday and my Moms 11 days later. I wasn't there and contact via whatsapp is never an easy option. The best I managed was a voicemail and a text message. We have never been a family to make a fuss or to have large celebrations so whilst I shouldn't have been too bothered it did make me realise that living away comes with some high price tags. Fortunately my cousin John was celebrating his 60th and the family went to share in the celebrations up in Brum. I have yet to hear how it all went.
Everyone is talking about the weather, how last winter was a gentle winter with shorts and t-shirts till 27th December and back on again in February. I have heard rumblings of thunderstorms and huge temperature drops. Having done some research myself the drop from 89 degrees to 70 doesn't seem all that bad. Almost something to look forward to! Rain will be our first trial of the watertightness of the roof. We are feeling quite confident even if the render on the new parts of the building are not yet complete.
Which brings me neatly on to the next subject; rendering and when you have in your head you can't do something. Well Terry was almost certain he couldn't. We are not plasterers either and both have a genuine respect for those that can. But Terry can render and although he has only put on the first coat it's looking good. I haven't tried my hand yet. After having a houseful for most of the summer I am resetting myself. It has been a fantastic summer. We've had three of the kids out, one of their boyfriends and our beloved grandson. Parents hopefully will be better inclined to come next year when we will have a house rather than a building site.
I am desperate to start on the garden but with the digger required to clear areas and put down hardcore it is difficult to plant anything. I have of course got a herb garden and it is very productive. I had bought over a dying Basil, a Parsley, a Thyme, a Rosemary and an Oregano plant, you know the kind you get in the supermarket. The type that when you cut off a few leaves they begin their dance of death. Well when I went to replant them I found out that there were about 10 plants in the parsley, 10 thin weak shoots. I took those thin shoots, planted them lovingly in the soil and whilst everyone thought they hadn't a chance those little beauts are now a huge healthy patch that I crop daily. The Basil was only 1 shoot but that is now almost a bush. The oregano was 2 plants and they have happily spread over a healthy area as have the Thyme and the Rosemary is establishing itself nicely. I have a small cabbage patch that is healthy. I haven't used any products at all. The garden has an excellent eco balance and the plethora of cacophonous frogs seem to deal with the bugs very well indeed. I have found out that I am in zone 7 for planting which means that if we were better organised I could have lecture, spinach, beetroot, onions and in a bit garlic. I look longingly at the garden and am trying to work out where I can get a patch of land ready that won't impede the progress of our urban giraffe; the JCB. No sooner had I written the last sentence Terry strode in and announced that we were going to start clearing the jungle. We started at the top end of the garden around the Walnut tree and over three days at various times started clearing all the non fruiting trees. The pile is becoming rather unwieldy to say the least. The question remains as to whether we burn or sort and chop. Given the number of trees still left to remove and new ones to plant I fear we may take the burn option. The frugal side of myself is screaming noooooo keep the wood for next year. The weather will be a factor but as we've had temperatures in the mid twenties and rain is not forecast I will delay the decision and see how we get on.
Well a week has passed since I started writing this blog and the weather has changed. On one evening and both sat in shorts we lit the Petchka for the first time. It was a tad early and after 15 minutes the door to next door was open and both sets of windows. Our first trial run. The nights are cooler now and yesterday we got the quilt out. After baking like a jacket potato all summer it was quite a pleasure to have the soft bulk of the quilt nestling over our knackered bodies. In view of these meteorological changes we have finally started sorting the impressive mountain of wood at the side of the old house. We've tarped it because it's bone dry and we don't want to risk wet wood this late in the year. As it is still hot during the day we are wearing our usual shorts and crocs and have been trying to make time each day to cut some wood. Terry knocked together a shelving system in the hallway of the old house and we've started filling that. My problem is that I don't want to burn the old oak beams and Terry does. I see projects of mantle pieces or chunky coffee tables Terry says it will burn longer than soft wood. This is correct but burning 80 year old wood in a solid fuel turner seems sacrilege. To that end I have secreted it under another tarp!
We have also finished fencing in the dogs, 2 sides of a 2700 m2 plot. Our dogs are now safely contained. However the street dogs Voula and Soula and puppy Royston have taken the erection of fencing very personally. There is what I can only describe as a vendetta going on between Terry and the stray canines. It is impossible to describe the ingenuity and persistence of these beasts. Sometimes their efforts to breach the boundary are so painful we hear them whelping and wiralling in the distance. Our less than salubrious local shepherd has assured me that he will take on Royston and train him as his sheep dog. He and his shy and giggly wife will be coming tomorrow. That just leaves Voula and Soula to deal with.
I am happy to report that our number of friends in the village now include Yiorgi our mostly absent next door neighbour. His son, studying navigation in Varna and his girlfriend all popped up at the fence as we were fencing. We were both filthy and smelly but it didn't seem to bother them. A little to Terry chagrin, as he doesn't like to stop work, we were inited to view their plot and in traditional Bulgarian style it was immaculate. So much to live up to! And to our further surprise Yiorgo 65 if he's a day came round and helped Terry by wheeling barrow after barrow of concrete to put in the fencing foundations. He also insisted we leave a gate between our properties so that we could help ourselves to his surplus of produce. What a lovey! Ilia our much beloved neighbour has also started our new bread/meat oven outside of the summer kitchen. He refuses to take payment so we have said we would like to take his good lady wife Grozda and himself out to eat. I have a feeling they will not come.
