About Sabaton
Swedish band Sabaton have been a major force in the power metal field since the mid-2000s, but had to battle significant difficulties to get there, which may explain their eventual creative obsession with everything war-related. Originally founded in 1999 and comprised of Joakim Brodén (vocals and keyboards), Rickard Sundén (guitar), Oskar Montelius (guitar), Daniel Myhr (keyboards, beginning in 2006), Pär Sundström (bass), and Richard Larsson (drums), the enterprising group quickly produced two demo tapes that were later released in a limited edition as Fist for Fight in 2002.
But after inking a deal with Italian label Underground Symphony, Sabaton saw their first would-be official album, Metalizer, inexplicably kept out of the marketplace for a full two years (it, too, belatedly reached the public in 2007). Tired of waiting, the members of Sabaton (now including new drummer Daniel Mullback), once again took matters into their own hands, and financed the recording of another album, Primo Victoria, which was officially released in 2005 by the Black Lodge label. It also opened the floodgates for a slew of popular singles and battle metal LPs to follow, including 2006's Attero Dominatus, 2008's The Art of War, and 2010's Coat of Arms, all of them bursting at the seams with historic and mythical chronicles of battle set to anthemic power metal. The band became increasingly successful across Europe, witnessed on 2011's live album, World War Live: Battle of the Baltic Sea, featuring a dozen tracks and ten different countries. The following year's Carolus Rex hit number one in Sweden and Poland, but it was the last for that lineup; 2014's Heroes featured new guitarists Chris Rörland and Thobbe Englund, plus new drummer Hannes van Dahl, alongside stalwarts Brodén and Sundström. Preceded by the rousing single the "Last Battalion," the conceptual Last Stand, the band's eighth studio album, dropped in August 2016. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia

We have investigated the propagation of the long-range mode (LRSP) and the short-range mode (SRSP) surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) along the waveguide made from Au film and quantum wells (QWs) gain medium. Influenced by the gain spectral nonuniformity, the SRSP showed narrower spectrum than the LRSP in output, denoting that the SRSP propagation was supported by stimulated amplification (SA) in electrically-pumped QWs. An SRSP output power as large as 1.6 times of that of the LRSP was obtained over a travelling distance of 80μm. The mechanism of SA-supported SRSP propagation can be adopted for electrical modulation of SPPs.

What is the first thing we ask ourselves when we become ill? "What did I do wrong?" Why not? When we're children, we learn it is all up to us. All of it. Life and death must be up to us, as well as sickness and health - it must be. Don't we learn all the truisms children have always learned, such as, "Step on a crack and break your mother's back." Now that's power.
We live in a cause and effect world. "Eat your veggies and you will grow up to be big and strong," or as my husband tells the grandkids, "Eat (whatever) and it will put hair on your chest." This, of course, works better with the boys than the girls.
Since we are so all powerful, we immediately blame ourselves when tragedy strikes. We become ill with some life changing disease and are altered forever. "What did I do?" we ask, or we whisper to ourselves late at night when we are alone in the dark, "What did I not do? Am I being punished for something I did? No, it must be something I didn't do." On and on it goes, this talking to ourselves, searching for the cause as we live with the effect.
I did that, didn't you? What if I had taken better care of myself? What if I took more vitamin B, C, D or is it Z? Maybe it was too much stress at work. Maybe it was too much chemical additive in the soda I drank. Maybe it was the moon, the stars, Venus? On and on it goes. We search our hearts, we search our lives and we search all of our behavior to find the answers. It's just what we do. We all powerful human beings chase our tails around and around in circles. We wake up at night, asking ourselves those questions. We drive ourselves and everyone around us crazy with questions, questions and still more questions. Acceptance takes time and patience.
There are many health issues which we have heard have a cause and profound effect, such as the link between smoking and lung cancer. There are, of course, many other examples, but for most of us it's like the witch in "The Wizard of Oz." That house just flies through the sky and lands on top of us before we even knew the wind was blowing. SCHAZAAM! Life is different. It must be our fault since we are such all powerful, all-knowing humans.
Eventually, we must learn to let it go. We grow exhausted by the constant self-interrogation. The only questions which remain are: How do we live with this thing, who is the best doctor to help me through this, and does it threaten my biological relatives?
My family is a flesh-and-blood example of the power of genetics, but that's another blog for another day. For now, dear friends, just get some rest; try to reel in the irrationality and guilt because the chances are it is not your fault. Let it go and get on with it. Tick, tock, tick, tock. Those are the minutes of your life, both precious and fleeting.

I loved you: and, it may be, from my soul The former love has never gone away, But let it not recall to you my dole; I wish not sadden you in any way. I loved you silently, without hope, fully, In diffidence, in jealousy, in pain; I loved you so tenderly and truly, As let you else be loved by any man.Alexander Pushkin
Time is the most important thing in human life, for what is pleasure after the departure of time? and the most consolatory, since pain, when pain has passed, is nothing. Time is the wheel-track in which we roll on towards eternity, conducting us to the Incomprehensible. In its progress there is a ripening power, and it ripens us the more, and the more powerfully, when we duly estimate it. Listen to its voice, do not waste it, but regard it as the highest finite good, in which all finite things are resolved.Alexander von Humboldt
It is a grave injustice to a child or adult to insist that they stop crying. One can comfort a person who is crying which enables him to relax and makes further crying unnecessary; but to humiliate a crying child is to increase his pain, and augment his rigidity. We stop other people from crying because we cannot stand the sounds and movements of their bodies. It threatens our own rigidity. It induces similar feelings in ourselves which we dare not express and it evokes a resonance in our own bodies which we resist.Alexander Lowen
I know what love feels like. That is one thing I have found. That is one thing that is much clearer because of fibromyalgia. Because once you experience real pain you recognize the vibration, the feeling of being healthy, happy and loved. If I'm not living from my heart, I get sick. I need to do things that feed my soul, like being with people I love, or playing my guitar, or listening to music.A. J. Langer
No Senses stronger than his brain can bear. Why has not Man a microscopic eye? For this plain reason, Man is not a Fly: What the advantage, if his finer eyes Study a Mite, not comprehend the Skies?... Or quick Effluvia darting thro' his brain, Die of a Rose, in Aromatic pain? If Nature thunder'd in his opening ears, And stunn'd him with the music of the Spheres... Who finds not Providence all-good and wise, Alike in what it gives, and what denies?Alexander Pope

Beginning with the 1998 vintage, a shift in responsibilities was witnessed Chez Taupenot Merme – with the 7th generation taking over – and a host of viticultural changes were introduced. One by one, as these improvements were implemented vintage by vintage, the resulting wines benefited from even more defined personalities (best described by that elusive term "terroir"), deeper colors, more refined perfumes as well as textures that rendered the wines wonderfully drinkable throughout their life cycles. Guided by a desire for purity in their wines, Romain and his Sister, Virginie have taken the following steps over the past decade:
- Completed the family's conversion to organic viticulture
- Began working with a process known as "chauffage post fermentaire" (which gently extracts "noble" tannins)
- Elected to work with 100% destemmed fruit (ala Henri Jayer)
- Started racking their wines into oak for 12-15 months for resting on their fine lees
- Reduced the amount of new oak (the maximum percentage being 40% for the Grand Crus)
These improvements, coupled with generations-old attention to detail in the vineyards have resulted in professional marks from international critics which have noticeably increased for this venerable estate. Including their less-than-barrique-sized quantity of Clos des Lambrays, this 30 acre estate (with holdings across Gevrey, Morey and Chambolle) – dating to the 1760s – is truly poised for the future as one of the leading domaines of the Cote. Jeannie Cho Lee MW (Decanter Magazine) has declared Taupenot Merme among her "favorite Burgundy producers" (along with DRC, Leflaive and Rousseau), while Allen Meadows (Burghound.com) has defined the wines as being "built on a base of finesse rather than power", while being "both transparent and very pinot". And considering that their selections now often garner top marks from Burghound per particular lieu dits, the time is now for serious Burgundy enthusiasts to get to know "today's" Taupenot Merme.

The Many Delights of Buying Waterfront Property
The waterfront has long held a great deal of attraction for many people. Water calls to humans as they look to where the land meets the sea. Today's buyers are no different. Just as people did in the past, they love homes on the water. A home by the sea means access to many recreational opportunities such as boating, fishing and long dives into deep waters. Many residents of Wisconsin have long known the joys of being able to spend time on the sea. This part of the country is home to a tremendous variety of lakefront property. Home buyers can find lots of potential properties on the waterfront for sale, each with something special and wonderful. When looking for a house by the ocean, keep in mind many concepts before starting.
The Amount of Waterfront Access
Homes on the waterfront vary as those at Elite Realty can explain well. A home on the waterfront is one that may have varied access to the waterfront. For example, there may be only a few feet of water access. Another home may have an entire stretch of beach where the owner can relax. Many waterfront homes have specific ways of accessing the water. One may have a deck that allows the owner to dock a boat or a series of boats on the water. Another home may have a floating dock that allows the owner to set up a place for guests to enjoy during their stay. It's helpful to make sure that any buyer knows exactly what's included in the price of the home and where the property ends.
The Rest of the Property
Another factor that should be kept in mind is the rest of the property. Each property may have different types of land. Some waterfront lots have lots of trees right next to the water so there's plenty of shade from the sun on hot days. Some lots slope directly down to the water while others may be flat. It's best to have a look around all areas of the property including any areas far away from the waterfront before making a decision about the home.
A Great Choice
For Wisconsin buyer, the ideal property on the waterfront is often a home that is on one of the area's many lovely private lakes but also one that offers easy access to many nearby highways and other parts of the area. Many buyers are delighted to find just how easy this is to accomplish in the area. Many waterfront homes can be found in many areas of the state including the northwestern part of the state. Each person should look for properties that allow them to get the kind of home that brings out feelings of happiness every time they see it. A great home on a waterfront is one that offers a feeling of home and provides them with water access at the same time. Look closely and expect to be rewarded.

"The breakfast and evening cold plate were ecxcellent! Probably too much food but we really enjoyed them. The host's communication via email was great. Cordelia went the extra mile for us. A big thank you. Also, Cordelia was very knowledgeable about the local history. Really enjoyed her chats. No soap/body wash in shower. The bed was not as comfortable as I would have liked." Janice, NZ, June 2018
"What a fabulous surprise. Wonderful place, wonderful hosts and fantastic food. Loved our talks, loved petting Maisey and most of all loved your kindness & generosity. God Bless you both!" Don & Nesta, Colorado, USA, June 2018
I hope you and your family are doing well. You've been on my mind because I am starting to wrap up Christmas gifts, and I'm very excited to be giving my family and friends some of your beautiful handicrafts! I keep thinking I'm going to give away the little birdy key fob you made, but then I keep changing my mind because I want to keep it for myself!! … Thank you again for your warm hospitality. My mother and I loved our visit. Memories of Scotland keep me smiling! Joyce" USA June 2017

Please note that due to the fact that I was teaching full-time from August 2015 until April 2016, there will be a gap in reviews here and on Trip Advisor as I was unable to teach and attend to guests at the same time!
"Arriving at The Lodge was like being in ancient Scotland. Howard and Cordelia were excellent Hosts,the room was spacious with all amenities you need. The breakfast was superb. The area was quiet, full of nature, set in an area for easy access to explore New Galloway and close to Stranraer and Cairnryan for the ferry to Ireland. I spent 3 nights at Ballkissock, and left knowing that I will return. Anyone wanting a quiet break away from the hustle and bustle of City life need look no further. It was a magical 3 days." Michael, Northumberland, Aug 2015
"When Cordelia and Howard told me 4 years ago they were taking a break frim running their wonderful B & B, I was gutted. Rarely does one find the perfect place to stay and it was to be no more. Needless to say, I was overjoyed to here they were accepting guests again. A true test of a B & B is if you feel like family and not simply "paying lodgers". This is a wonderful place and I cannot say enough about it. It gets 6 stars (out of 5) and I highly recomnend Balkissock." Dwight, Bangkok, August 2015
"Stayed here for a couple of days, with my son, whilst walking the South Ayrshire Coastal (path). Cordelia and Howard were generous with the one commodity no one seems to have enough of; their time! They dropped us off to the coastal path, and picked us up. Supplied us with pots of tea, with cakes, filled our flasks and generally cater for all our needs, and some more. What a fabulous time with hospitable, kind people." Dean & Gabriel, Stafford, Aug 2015
"We stayed 2 nights at Balkissock and enjoyed out time there. Our room was very comfortable and cosy in the evenings and mornings during what was a very chilly spell in late July. Tea and biscuits in the room were very welcome. The lodge is tucked away, a few miles from the village of Ballantrae so it's important to enjoy the seclusion that it offers. Silent, dark nights in the countryside. Perfect. Breakfasts were excellent with a wide range of treats including delicious light pancakes with fruits or syrup. Full brekkie is also excellent. Cordelia's homemade produce (lemon curd, biscuits, bread and more) is always delicious. Overall, well worth visiting if you need a peaceful and welcoming place to stay." Dumfries & Galloway golfers, August 2015
"Cordelia and Howard are charming and considerate hosts with unnecessary but very welcome daily treats. We stayed in the Kintyre room for 4 nights which was very clean and comfortable. The breakfasts are truly delicious, with the home made jams highly recommended." Graham, Peterlee, August 2015
"Lovely clean rooms, delicious breakfasts, and very helpful & considerate hosts." Freetobook 02/08/15
"My husband and I stayed at this charming B&B in western Scotland in 2012. Set out in the countryside, you will be treated to wonderful gourmet food by the delightful and gracious hosts … I hope you get the chance to stay here. Great for a special getaway." Naila, August 2105 (FB comment)
"Charming & considerate hosts, clean & comfortable room and fantastic breakfasts. What more could we ask for? And…a north-east welcome in the north-west!" Graham & Sam, Durham, August, 2015
"A quiet retreat with a lovely host and hostess. The room was comfortable, spotless with all amenities. The food was excellent with home made bread etc. We felt very welcome and were impressed by all the attention to detail and personal touches. The location was in the countryside so a little off the main road but peaceful and relaxing." Angie, Braunton, July 2105
"Thank you for being the perfect host & hostess. The room, food and atmosphere was excellent. Fantastic pancakes and breakfast" Angie & Barrie, North Devon, July 2015
"Two nights is not enough. Wonderful, restful environment with great hosts ever so helpful. We very much enjoyed the breakfasts and dinner. Thanks a million." Marianne & Maurice, Grenoble, France, July 2015
"Lovely B&B with exceptional attention to detail, friendly and welcoming" Freetobook 27/07/15
"To summarise: Fantastic hosts, Fantastic Food and Fantastic Scenery. What more could you ask for? … After staying at numerous B&B's/Hotels over the years, this was by far the most relaxed I have ever felt on a weekend away! 5*+!" Sam, Newcastle, July 2105
"… After a peaceful and very comfortable nights sleep we started our day off with a full Scottish breakfast which was completely gluten free. The fact that Cordelia … went to such an effort to accommodate me with the food intolerances I have so that I didn't miss out meant a great deal to me as staying away can be daunting sometimes when food is concerned…" Emily, North Shields, July 2015
"We booked into Balkissock lodge for the night with other family members as our family grow up there and was visiting childhood friends at the Ballantrae gala…..Wonderful very clean and homely feeling lodge to stay in ….our hosts Cordelia and Howard are exceptional hosts and the care and attention from them was 5* plus would recommend to anybody and until next year guys Thank you" Marion, Dumfries & Galloway, July 2015
"Thank you for the most perfectly relaxing, warm, comfortable, quiet, stylish, cosy stay + for your lovely company + help." Adrienne, Wollongong, July 2105

"Absolutely brilliant stay at Balkissock, hosts were terrific and very obliging. Rooms perfect + stylish and very comfortable to sleep in. Cannot fault the cleanliness *spotless* Well done. Top notch." Helen, Dumfries, July 2015
"A great weekend away in Ballantrae topped off with an amazing nostalgic stay in the house with family. The house where our family started off." Douglas & Marion, Stow, July 2015
"Our hosts were very friendly and helpful, the room was spacious and comfortable, the breakfast was a sumptuous feast, and the price very reasonable. This is in a very quiet, rural location requiring transport to get to local shops or places to eat, but the breakfast is so large one can live on that alone!" Simon, Chichester, July 2105
"5 star rating, can't praise highly enough – best B & B we have ever stayed at" Freetobook 29/06/15
"Breakfast here is excellent! We went for the traditional but the choice was equivalent to a 5 star hotel." Guest comment on Facebook 27/06/15

"Wonderful experience if you want attention to detail, friendly hosts,wildlife and beautiful scenery! This Bed & Breakfast is a well kept secret that just has to be experienced if you are the area of Ballantrae, looking forward to returning soon." Terry, Newcastle, June 2015

Congress blockchain meeting: There is a lot of news getting pumped out into the world right now. In the crypto space, however, all eyes are on the Congressional subcommittees that are meeting today, to discuss blockchain.
Congress Blockchain Meeting
Today, a pair of Congressional subcommittees will meet to discuss blockchain technology. The session will focus on the role the technology plays in supply chain management. There will be similarities to the meeting that took place in February, but, according to Rep. Roger Marshall, Tuesday's meeting is going to focus less on the science and more on new technologies emerging and improving in the blockchain sector.
The session is meant to be informative, but Marshall says questions and discussions are welcome. As for the people at the meeting, the chairman of the House Science Committee stated that Tuesday's session will have numerous "experts in intellectual property," as well as experts in shipping, logistics, and cybersecurity.
Other Meetings in the Crypto and Blockchain World
Yesterday, a group of SEC and CFTC officials was scheduled to meet to discuss whether cryptocurrencies should be ruled like stocks. The crypto at the center of this was Ethereum (ETH). Now, however, reports have surfaced today that this meeting never even took place.
>>Warren Buffett and Bill Gates Reject Cryptocurrencies
Hopefully, Congress doesn't also plan on fooling the world by canceling this blockchain meeting. The technology has vast potential, and the more people to meet to discuss the technologies future, the better. That being said, a recent Gartner survey came out last week, which stated that while most companies are aware of the technology, the majority don't actually plan on integrating it. This contradicts the opinion most people have of the technology.
The Takeaway
Stay tuned for the outcome of today's blockchain meeting. Do you have any idea of how it's going to go? Let me know.

Paris Baguette opens its outlet to Singapore!
It is a top brand Korean bread and confectionery chain originated in South-Korea. Their outlets are not only in Seoul, but the brand has expand to China and USA. When I went for my Korea trip, Paris Baguette are everywhere in Seoul. Not only that the brand is commercialized by top Korean actors/singers.
I did try their birthday chocolate cake once. They have variety of cute cakes. Since it was for my friend's birthday, I bought a chocolate cake in the shape of teddy bear. Their cake is so soft and moist. Not much cream too…
In the first week after the shop opened their outlet at Wisma Atria at Orchard, level 2, my friends and I tried their cakes. Expected, people were q-ing too since Singaporeans like to try new things. But the management are smart enough to separate their cashiers. They have the Q for those who want to dine in and those who only want to take-away bread. Since we were there to sit down and try their cakes, we save time Q-ing.
Sadly, there were only Strawberry Short Cake and Oh-My Baby Crepe cake left. So after we found seats, we just grabbed those cakes to try, anyway I wanted to try their cream cake. The softness and cake texture is similar with those in Seoul, and it's not too creamy and too sweet 🙂
There were many Koreans customers too. Even the staffs are Koreans. This evoked the nostalgic feel of being in Seoul. Miss those time so much…
I recommend their Royal Pudding. It tastes like Creme Brulee. If you have sweet-tooth, go and try for this one. The packaging is so cute, it was packaged in a small bottle with a long spoon. There are 3 flavors, but I tried their original one.
When it was the time for us to make a move, different batches of cakes came out! But we were too full, so could not try their other cakes. Maybe next time. The design of their cakes are very pretty that will tempt you to try.
Okay, this maybe sounds stupid because only I would get excited seeing this piece of paper… My friend who checked through the bill receipt, showed me the name of the owner. It's CHOI S.W! What comes in my mind is Choi Si Won of Super Junior! Pardon me with my craze of the Suju. But I could not help of my imagination went wild lol!! Maybe he is the owner of the branch?!
It is a good place to sit down during your tea time. They serve heavy meals too, not only cakes and pastries. Even they have Korean-traditional shaved ice (Patbingsu) too. Maybe I will try their shaved ice next time. I will surely return to Paris Baguette again.

Megan Marie Myers ART
Original artwork for sale
Shop Prints & Cards
Shop Calendars, logs & stickers
Inspire the people in your life with an original mural designed specifically for your space. I have experience painting murals in a variety of sizes and in both indoor and outdoor settings such as kids' rooms / play rooms, home vignettes, businesses, food carts, waiting rooms, schools, and wedding photography back-drops.
Here is a summary to help understand the approximate pricing and payment schedules for a mural:
Private residential commissions
: $200
This payment is made up-front and is non-refundable. In some cases, artist may waive the design fee; please inquire.
This includes:
*Site visit(s) by artist (within 20 miles of Bend, OR.)
If the site is farther away, a travel fee will be added.
*All communication/collaboration regarding the concept for the artwork
*A to-scale pencil sketch of the design proposal with up to 2 major revisions
Should the client request more that 2 major revisions, an additional design fee will be applied.)
Commercial commissions:
Hourly fee (to be negotiated) + reimbursable costs during design phase OR 10% of total project budget.
$20-$25 per square foot. Minimum square footage is 32 square feet.
Most murals will be priced at $25 per square foot. If the client requests a highly detailed mural, pricing is subject to increase but is not expected to exceed $35 per square foot.
1/2 of the mural payment will be due upon design approval, prior to the start of work
The last 1/2 of the mural payment will be due upon completion of the artwork.
If travel is required (beyond 20 miles outside of Bend) for the work or site visit, travel costs will be charged to the client.
If ladders, scaffolding, or other safety equipment is needed to complete the work, the fees and coordination of these materials will be the client's responsibility.
Costs associated with site preparation will be the client's responsibility, such as painting the surrounding walls to the artwork site, and sanding and/or priming the artwork site if needed.
Any coating for anti UV or graffiti is not included in my scope of work.
When possible, the best way for me to collect site information and discuss your ideas is to visit the space and meet with you in person. I can take photographs and measurements of the potential artwork site and look at any inspirational imagery or colors you've collected. We can speak freely and throw around ideas about layout, characters, and themes. I can scout the area to determine any logistically tricky areas in advance.
In cases where a site visit is not possible, I will require the following information:
Thorough photography of the artwork site and surrounding area (to determine staging logistics for materials and ladder.
A drawing of the artwork wall(s) with all measurements including doorways, fixtures, or any other features on the wall that may affect the site lines or composition of the design (such as vents, hooks, hanging lights, furniture)
A description of desired colors, themes, characters, and a reference to specific artwork of mine that you were particularly drawn to on this website or Instagram.
Using the information collected from the site visit and/or our correspondence, I will create a pencil sketch (to-scale) of the artwork design proposed for the space for your approval.
Upon design approval, I will procure all materials needed to complete the artwork and we will mutually agree to a schedule for the work to be completed. In advance of my start date, I'll request that the space is prepared. Site preparation includes:
Any necessary equipment needed to access the space is procured. Depending on the space, this could mean step stools, ladders, or even scaffolding. I will provide my own drop-cloths.
Any valuables and furniture are moved away from the work space. During the painting time, the space should be considered a work space and have limited, if any, unnecessary foot traffic.
The art wall is sanded and primed if necessary (this should not be needed if the wall is already painted white or another light base color).
The surrounding walls are painted the color you would like them to be.
If you are interested in a mural, please use the contact form on this website to inquire. I'd love to create a beautiful piece of artwork for your walls!
*Please note that all mural designs will be original and designed specifically for your site. I paint in the style as depicted on this website. I am delighted to personalize your artwork, however, I do not paint characters that already exist in popular culture or in the style of another artist (Disney, Marvel, etc).

Amara, Seattle - Design
5907 Martin Luther King Jr. Way S
Amara is a community based nonprofit organization serving children in foster care. This final mural has been installed on the southern edge of Amara's headquarters, at 5907 Martin Luther King Jr. Way S. in Seattle.
Amara commissioned the mural
to symbolize the journey children take through the foster care system, as well as their efforts to recruit a larger, more diverse pool of foster families to match the population of kids in the system.
My design, "A Journey of Love" won the mural competition and was painted by Urban Artworks, an organization that works with local teens to create public art in the Seattle area. Through Urban Artworks' program, at-risk youth moving on from the juvenile justice system interact with caring adults, receive positive engagement during non-school hours, and find a creative outlet, all while they build employment skills (and their résumés), earn income, and build a sense of connection to the community in which they live and create art for.
Click here to see images of the mural painting in progress.
Every child that Amara serves is the hero of his or her own unique story and faces a special journey to a stable, long-term home and family. This mural design invites the community to follow four children on their extraordinary journey through a world with families at the center of each universe they encounter. Each new environment they enter presents them with a world of possibilities, love, and even a little magic – the spirit of childhood.
Above all, this artwork confidently defines the energy around transitions as reinforcing, safe, affirming, and beautiful. Supportive and whimsical characters (from magical origami cranes, to friendly fish and majestic whales) smoothly shepherd the children into every scene. They create a path for the kids, just as Amara, foster families, and the community do. The kids enter each new world jubilantly, finding themselves surrounded by families and tenderness. This uplifting design is a reflection of Amara's beautiful work told through the voice and imagination of children. Their journey elevates the children and the final scene reminds us all of Amara's fundamental goals as it greets visitors to Amara's Center for Fostering and Adoption.

Puppy Kindergarten
This class is socialization focused. Pups get to interact with each other which builds appropriate social skills and confidence and the other attendees which will make trips to the vet and groomer and out in public better as adults. Activities include ball pit, texture challenge, tunnel & toy review. We also address issues like house breaking, nipping and jumping. This class is for pups between 12 and 24 weeks of age who have had the 1st 2 rounds of vaccines.
Class is 1/2 hour long, $10 pay-as-you-go.
Obedience 1
This class will introduce the commands Sit, Down, Stand, Come, Quiet, Leave it, leash manners and Wait. Owners will learn what to do to get their dogs to listen to them, how exercise and nutrition effect dog behavior and how to eliminate unwanted behaviors like, jumping, pulling on leash, running away and grabbing items like the TV remote, shoes etc. This is the foundation for having a well mannered family member.
Class is 1 hour, 6 weeks $140
Obedience 2
This class covers the commands Place, Drop, Take it, and Loose leash walking and it develops the skills that were previously introduced with distance and distractions. Students must have completed Obedience 1 or have permission from the instructor.
This class is 1 hour 6 weeks $140
Clicker Tricks
This class teaches fun behaviors like play dead, take a bow, salute, sit pretty and high five. It also builds dog / owner bond, drains mental energy, teaches focus and builds confidence. It is ideal for high energy dogs, shy or timid dogs, dogs who have post injury or post surgery activity restrictions, dogs who will be doing therapy visitations or folks who are interested in fun new activities to do with their canine companion. Clickers will be provided. Dogs do not attend the first night.
This class is 1 hour, 6 weeks $140
Nose Knows
Let your dog do what come naturally. Use their nose! It is great for active dogs who need to burn off energy. it is also good for older dogs or arthritic dogs who have mobility issues. It is perfect for shy or timid dogs too who need to build trust and confidence. Dogs will hunt for hidden food. The location of the hide will get increasingly challenging. They will transfer to finding non food scents and objects.
This class is 1 hour 4 weeks $100
This class is designed to help reactive dogs be calm and well behaved in public. Whether it is a dog who loses his mind when he sees another dog or a person and leaps and pulls and spins and jumps with excitement or the dog who snarls and lunges when he encounters other dogs or the the fearful dog who is frantic to get away when he encounters a stranger. This class will help them work through their issues and remain calm in the presence of the trigger. TBTE (Training Between the Ears) techniques are employed and participants must have had prior in home lessons using TBTE to attend this class. Class size will be restricted to 4 participants.
It is 1 hour for 4 weeks $100
Canine Parkour
Similar to agility, this class involves teaching dogs to get up onto platforms, climb, maneuver around objects, balance and crawl under things. It promotes health, proprioception (body awareness) balance, and better behavior through increased mental and physical activity, environmental enrichment and sense of accomplishment. Dogs must have completed Obedience 1 and 2 to participate.
In addition to the 1 hour 4 week class for $100, optional periodic field trips on Saturdays will be held for $10 fee.

Feeding Bellies
Warming Hearts
Can you imagine the emotional impact it can have
on a child who is consistently worried about eating?
A donation of $35 can take away their worry for an entire month.
Will you help us make a difference in the life of a child?
Dedicated volunteers meet every week to assemble food boxes that are then transported to each of our eight school districts in Madison, Union, and Clark Counties. Many children eat school breakfast and lunches. For some, it is not a guarantee that they will have something to eat for dinner. That's where we come in. Providing evening meals the kids take home with them at the end of their school day. Our mission is that no child experience hunger after school.
No child is ever turned away. It is important to us that we support all the children in the household and therefore we provide extra boxes for students to take home to any siblings within the household.
It is our goal to remove the barriers being food insecure can bring, so children are better able to focus on school and have every opportunity to succeed. To see a child reach their full potential is a thing of beauty. A confident child has the potential to become a successful adult and make a real impact in their community. Our future through these children is getting shaped now! How can you help?!

I am going to feature you some extra-ordinary lighting photographs by French Calligraphy Artist Julien Breton aka Kaalam. The artist mesmerizingly used long exposure technique with the incorporation of light projection & electric torches with unbelievable precision and care which actually created some overwhelming set of characters. Kaalam inspired by the classical calligraphy which emphasizes Arabian style. The photographs can be done with any skillful tricks in front of camera or using high-end graphical interface to create these symbols but self-taught artists here only used light paintings to draw the symbols. The artist did this without the help of any software or Photoshop tricks or superimposed subjects or any sort of post-production editing.
Kaalam used to learn calligraphy at the age of 7. The self-taught artist is attracted by the Arabian language which he can't speak well. Through light calligraphy, he tries to develop Latin alphabets close to the aesthetics of certain styles of Arabic calligraphy.
The artist skillfully used the long exposure technique & the light painting such a way that only the movement and the trail of the lights are visible, not the person doing it. Some of the photographs take as long as ten minutes which requires a choreographed movement. Different colors of 'ink' are achieved through pigmented gelatin which is applied directly onto the lamps. None of the photographs are retouched or edited, just taken in a single shot with long exposure.
Hope you will enjoy the works of the artist. You can visit his website here & his Flickr link. Want to hear some feedback from you in our comment section.

My boyfriend grows roses and this is what he had sitting on the breakfast table for me this morning when I woke up. They came home with me this afternoon!
A girlfriend of mine has a few sheep which she keeps for their fleece. She had them shorn and then carded and spun the fleece, so I bought some off her. I started knitting it up during the week, but I don't know if I am happy with it or not. Yes, my hands feel the lanolin in the fleece, but it just isn't knitting up "soft" like commercial wool does.. is this normal with homespun wool?
I also machine embroidered cloths with black & white cows, now I have to hem them.
Until next post..
what weekend?

Getting a Good Look at a Formula
Trying to understand a formula in Excel brings to mind the dilemma faced by residents of Flatland, the mythical two-dimensional kingdom in Edwin A. Abbot's satirical 1884 novel, Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions. "All beings in Flatland, animate or inanimate, no matter what their form, present to our view the same, or nearly the same, appearance, viz. that of a straight Line. How then can one be distinguished from another, where all appear the same?"
Indeed, all formulas in Excel present nearly the same appearance, namely, that of a linear sequence of symbols. How then can one be distinguished from another?
These dilemmas, in Flatland and in Excel, create serious dangers. In Flatland, "triangular houses were universally forbidden by Law" because their hard-to-discern vertices "might do serious injury to an … absent-minded traveller … running against them." In Excel, best-practices dictate against dangerous shapes for formulas. Such laws and practices makes life difficult, both in Flatland and in Excel.
Flatland residents must learn to distinguish shapes using senses other than sight. They "distinguish by the voice … the Equilateral, the Square, and the Pentagon." However, for more complicated figures, "the process of discriminating and being discriminated by hearing increases in difficulty." Thus they resort to their "sense of touch," which, "stimulated by necessity, and developed by long training, enables [them] to distinguish angles."
Excel users must similarly learn by long training to distinguish correct from incorrect formulas by indirect means—by checking them with sample data, by using the Evaluate Formula dialog box, by turning error checking on, by tracing precedents and descendents, … How much easier it would be if Flatland residents could just see shapes and Excel users could just see formulas!
The narrator of Flatland has an epiphany when he visits three-dimensional Spaceland: "I looked, and, behold, a new world! There stood before me, visibly incorporate, all that I had before inferred, conjectured, dreamed."
Excel users stuck in its one-dimensional formula bar can have a similar epiphany by visiting another dimension—one with which they are already familiar. Who, after all, doesn't find it easier to recognize the quadratic formula or the normal distribution function when presented in ordinary two-dimensional mathematical notation rather than as one-dimensional sequences of symbols?
And who, when trying to understand why Excel produces an unexpectedly large value for the right-hand formula when
A2 is 3, wouldn't like to see a picture
which shows that Excel evaluates
-A2^2 as
(-A2)^2 rather than as
-(A2^2), as mathematically trained users would expect?
Just as Flatlanders need to see where they are going, less they be pierced by hard-to-discern sharp angles, so formula writers need to see where they are going, lest their users be pierced by unseen errors in formulas. Although Flatlanders are stuck in two dimensions, Excel users need not be stuck in one. FormulaView and FormulaForge both exploit two dimensions to make it easy to recognize and understand formulas. Their math view typesets formulas, and their tree view shows a formula's hierarchical structure. You can try the math view on-line or download a free copy of FormulaView by visiting http://formulaforge.com/formulaview. Try it, and escape the tyranny of one dimension!

We're back on the road early to a launderette on the outskirts of town that I'd found online. Unfortunately the whole area is undergoing a lot of work and it looks like the launderette must have been pulled down to make way for a supermarket currently in construction. It's a real pain as we're both running low on clean clothes and the bedding could do with a wash too. The area we'd parked in was dodgy as hell with dismantled cars on the street and one with a smashed side window and a screwdriver in the side. Not the best place for Van Diesel, so we made a sharp exit!
After filling up on petrol we headed to Vilanova i la Geltru. It's a seaside town with a big port and a couple of nice beaches. The plan was that it would hopefully we quiet enough for us to grab a load of water from the beach to get washing done. The council had other ideas though and had put up signs banning campervans and caravans from the beach car park entirely.
We managed to find a spot in a nearby residential area for the time being and set out to find somewhere else. We spotted a car park near the other beach which had a camper in it. Being a very sunny Sunday though the car park was completely full so we decided to drive over in the evening once the beach-goers had headed home.
Time to have a look around town then! I have to say it doesn't exactly have much in the way of sights sadly. Some of the university buildings are attractive, especially the library. We came across a day centre too which was really very nice indeed. Other than that it's just a quiet seaside town centre. The beaches are very nice and well looked after with long strips of golden sand and calm blue sea.
After heading back to the van we ended up getting rather sucked in to playing a computer game on my laptop. Before we knew it, it was about 9pm! We still hadn't had dinner and it was certainly time to move the van oooops! As we were leaving a rather bedraggled looking woman appeared shaking a box of cat treats and suddenly from nowhere about 30 stray cats appeared and followed this woman down to the beach, it was a very surreal moment!
As we moved the van (being very careful to avoid cats of course) we saw the new car park also banned motorhomes. Given that the one we'd seen earlier was still around we opted to risk it. We parked up and then headed to the beach to fetch water, much to the annoyance of the couple trying to have a romantic night time picnic by the sea oooops again!
Back to the van after a couple of water-fetching runs and time to do some hand washing before more gaming and bed. Not the most exciting of days I'm afraid!

Tonight's dinner was an ode to Fairview Gardens. I made our dinner with many of their ingredients. This is our CSA farm (we've been members since 2001).
I did a one-pot italian rice and vegetables. I used to make these kinds of things in a nonstick skillet. I recently replaced my skillet with a "green" ceramic one. I love it, but it's curved wall not straight wall, and I lost a lot of volume. So instead, I've been making things in the Dutch oven, but it holds heat so well, stuff sticks. So, I'm still learning how to get it right.
Today's rice was good, but it did stick, and some of it was still crunchy. Hopefully it will soften in the microwave tomorrow.
Sausage and Rice and Vegetable meal (you could sub beans for the sausage).
2 Tbsp olive oil
2-3 small sausages (I used chicken-apple-chardonnay), diced
1 medium onion, chopped (from CSA)
1 medium zucchini, chopped (from CSA)
1 bunch chard - destemmed. Chop the stems and leaves separately (from CSA)
3 cloves garlic, pressed
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp basil
1 tsp parsley
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 cups diced tomatoes/ marinara (from CSA - they canned them!)
1.5 cups white rice
1 to 2 cups water (I was experimenting here - it depends on the pot and how thick your tomatoes/sauce are).
handful fresh basil, chopped (from CSA)
Saute the sausage, onion, zucchini, chard stems in olive oil until softened and well cooked. Add the garlic and saute 1 minute.
Add the rice, oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper and stir to coat rice with the oil. Cook a few minutes to brown it a bit, if that's even possible in your pot full of veggies. Add the chard and 1 cup water, reduce heat and cover to steam the chard a bit. Add the marinara and the rest of the water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and cover. Cook, stirring, until rice is cooked (about 20 min).
Toss with fresh basil.
I served this with kale chips from...FG! And guacamole made with salsa I canned last year with FG tomatoes and peppers.

text: Michael Appleton brings today's message, focusing on the unconditional love of God. By its very nature, says Michael, unconditional love has no strings attached and no requirements to be met. The love that God gives so freely does not change. We do not need to measure up we are loved by the Father, no matter what. His love is undeterred even when we go astray Gods love continues towards us. As we reflect on Gods love, and know that love in a deeper way, says Michael, we are filled with the love of God and become Gods love in a greater way than ever before. Then we can show that love to others. Michael concludes the message with a caution that we should not take this love for granted and assume that everything is fine no matter what we do or how we live. Gods love is constant, but it does not remove the need for a repentant life.

Scion Car Manuals PDF & Wiring Diagrams above the page.
The Japanese car manufacturer Toyota (Manuals page) in 2003, creates a new division in the US Scion, producing new cars in America's youth use.
The company has introduced three new models to its launch vehicles. xB hatchback model has a body, set up in the base of Toyota Corolla Rumion. In Japan, this car is in the lead as the bB. tC-engine coupé is equipped with 2.4-liter direct from the Toyota Camry, and the development takes place on the basis of Toyota Avensis. xD is the "native" brother Toyota ist.
On this basis all the cars the company completed with a fixed system Scion for sale and is affordable. The average price was 17,000 dollars. Unfortunately, the implementation is not sufficiently successful, as compared with other brands.
All customers who prefer this brand are really fashionable. Of the total number of buyers bought 70% of the first car Toyota. More than 11% Scion vehicles were sold in 2006 compared with 2005. the second generation of cars went on sale in 2007 - Model xB.

The F Word has a great blog post today about something that has been on my mind regarding the ole feminism. When you join the feminist club part of the membership package includes a high powered snark cannon with a lasersight that reveals potential sexism everywhere. It's easy to fire it off at every little thing you see but you might as well be shooting gnomes in your garden for all the good it will do. Yes, you'll have significantly improved your own garden but what have you actually achieved for the greater good?
I don't actually know the answer to that. I do feel better for not sweating the small stuff and stressing over things that aren't important to me. For example, I don't wear makeup because I'm lazy and it annoys me, not because I'm making some sort of feminist stand. But feminism defends my right not/to wear makeup if I want to, and supports my right to autonomy in all things. Now that I've shot that gnome I don't need to think about it or debate it any more; it's just not that relevant.

What to watch today
In the week ahead, investors will see an earnings calendar that is winding down as 45 members of the S&P 500 will report results. As a point of comparison, 48 members of the benchmark index reported earnings in a single day on Thursday. Leading the earnings flow this week will be Disney (DIS), set to report earnings after the close on Tuesday, while Papa John's (PZZA) results will be closely watched as that company has been engulfed in controversy over the use of a racial slur by its founder and now former CEO back in the spring.
Monday comes with Marriott (MAR) earnings, but no major economic releases.

Contra Vision® is ideal for providing privacy, one-way vision viewing and decorative interior design inside buildings. It is extremely adaptable and our window films are very easy to install and remove.
The first photo shows the view into a "test centre" through a one-way vision viewing panel. It allows assessors to monitor candidates without being seen.
From inside the room the candidates are distracted by a colourful photograph rather than an unsettling mirror which is the usual device for achieving one-way vision effects. Any graphic can be used on the Contra Vision® viewing panel, with brighter colours giving the best privacy.
To create privacy and add interest to the considerable amount of glass partitions installed at Newcastle University, Komfort applied Contra Vision® Performance™ to all the partitions and doors with stunning results.

NKEK13006U Organic Chemistry
The Organic Chemistry course covers structure and mechanisms in organic chemistry with an emphasis on physical organic chemistry.
The major topics are:
Chemical bonding and structure (valence, hypervalence, molecular orbital theory and methods); Stereochemistry (configuration, conformation); Conformationally, sterically and stereoelectronic effects (thermodynamic, kinetic); Electronic substituent effects (on reaction intermediates, isotope effects, catalysis, solvent effects, Hammett); Nucleophilic substitution (types, leaving groups, anchimeric assistance, carbocat ions); Polar addition/elimination; Eliminations (types); Carbanions and other C-nucleophile (stability, pKa); Carbonyl compounds (reaction types); Aromaticity (definition, types); Aromatic substitution (electrophil, nucleophil); Concerted pericyclic reactions (cycloadditions, sigmatropic rearangements, FMO theory, electrocyclic); Radical reactions (stability, substituent effects). Special topics related to the above topics.
The teaching will to a large extent follow the themes in the teaching book chapters, but additional literature will be used to support each topic. The additional literature will mainly be classic and contemporary articles, which are presented by the students and discussed on the class. When possible and appropriate, examples from the teachers own research will be used as examples of applied physical organic chemistry.
Each topic will be introduces by the lecturer followed by discussions on the class. Exercises for each chapter will be handed out and discussed on the class.
It is required that all students present at least one research paper during the course.
After passing the course the student should be able to:
Describe reactions using physical organic chemistry.
Justify selectivities between products on the basis of physical organic chemistry.
Apply the theory to solve practical problems in organic chemistry and elucidate the mechanisms of the desired and undesired reactions.
Explain and discuss the above topics. Analyze reactions on the basis of physical organic chemistry.

Envision Networks® LIVE Sunday Night Talk Show Now Airing In Alabama
Envision Networks® has reached an agreement with iHeartMedia to bring The John and Leah Show to five new stations in the Birmingham, AL area including WERC-AM, WERC-FM, WAAX-AM, WDAK-AM and WRTR-FM. The LIVE Sunday night talk show offers a look at the week's news focusing on media, politics, sports and pop culture. With these iHeartMedia stations joining current affiliates throughout the country in airing The John and Leah Show, the Envision Talk Network now reaches over 150 affiliates across the United States.
Each week, hosts John Ziegler and Leah Brandon bring you the final word on the week's events and first thoughts on the week to come. The hosts provide an informative, compelling and entertaining take on the news of the week as well as their own crazy lives. Brandon currently works as a morning news anchor at Newsradio 1055 WERC. She started out as a DJ in Roanoke, Va., and then came to Los Angeles where she began her radio voiceover imaging career. She currently resides in Birmingham, AL.
Ziegler has been either in the media, or criticizing it, for a quarter century. His career began in Steubenville, Ohio as a sportscaster and reporter with an NBC affiliate. He made the switch to talk radio as an evening host at WWTN-FM/Nashville and went on to work at a number of other outlets. Eventually he wound up at KFI-AM/Los Angeles, where he and Brandon first worked together. While at KFI he was #54 on the Talkers 100 list and part of breaking several national news stories. After four years at the station, Ziegler opted to leave talk radio to produce documentary films and only recently returned to host his nationally syndicated show.
Connect with The John and Leah Show on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/talktozig and https://www.facebook.com/Leahbrandon or on Twitter at http://twitter.com/Zigmanfreud and http://twitter.com/leahbrandon. Interested in adding The John and Leah Show to your programming? Contact Amber Wade at email@example.com or 216-831-3761.
About John Ziegler:
After graduating from Georgetown University in 1989, he pursued his childhood goal of being a television sportscaster. He became a sports anchor/reporter at the NBC affiliate in tiny Steubenville, Ohio and spent an entire year with the Steubenville Big Red high school football team (the same one which would be embroiled in a national "scandal" nearly 20 years later) where he wrote a book about the experience called, "Dynasty at the Crossroads."
In 1994 he became a sports anchor/reporter at the Fox affiliate in Raleigh, North Carolina. Ziegler decided at that point to try general talk radio and soon got a gig as evening host at WWTN-FM in Nashville, Tennessee. Ziegler then returned to his hometown of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to do an overnight talk show at WWDB-FM.
After doing some more radio and TV in Philly, Ziegler got a full-time mid-morning show at legendary WHAS-AM in Louisville, Kentucky. There his ratings immediately soared so incredibly high that he would also get a weekly TV show on the NBC affiliate with a liberal co-host who is now Louisville's congressman.
Ziegler was soon hired in Los Angeles by the same company at KFI-AM (then the number one talk station in the nation) and was quickly promoted to the evening slot.
After four years there, he decided to leave talk radio to produce documentary films.
Ziegler's first documentary was "Blocking the Path to 9/11" which was the story of how ABC TV censored the premiere mini-series about 9/11 for political purposes.
Ziegler's second, and most well-known, film was "Media Malpractice: How Obama Got Elected and Palin Was Targeted." It was the story of how media coverage impacted the 2008 election and it featured a news-making interview with Sarah Palin. Ziegler appeared live on both the Today Show and The View to promote the film.
Ziegler's third film was called "The Framing of Joe Paterno." It tells the story of how the media blew the narrative of the so-called "Penn State Scandal." Ziegler would also do, from prison, the most extensive interview ever done with Jerry Sandusky. He appeared twice on the Today Show to discuss that interview.
John, armed with a boat-load of new-found wisdom (as well as a wife and a baby girl) accumulated since he left talk radio, now looks forward to his weekly program with his old KFI colleague Leah Brandon.
About Leah Brandon:
Leah Brandon has spent over 20 years working in the radio industry. Starting out as a DJ in Roanoke, VA and then moving to Los Angeles where she began her radio voiceover imaging career.
She has been the voice of some of the biggest stations in the country including STAR 98.7\Los Angeles, KIISFM, and Z100 New York just to name a few.
She also has worked for other syndicated radio shows and has been the live announcer for "Who Knows You Best" on Lifetime Television.
Leah now lives in Birmingham, AL on a farm with her three horses…so if you need a voice for your country station, she can do that too.

We're not too big to admit that "curiosity" has become something of a buzzword these days. Search for the term on a job board, and you'll find thousands of postings for everything from a senior data scientist ("We welcome your adaptability, your curiosity, and your passion") to a marketing intern ("must have intellectual curiosity"). Buzzword or not, it's hard to see the downside of encouraging a healthy sense of curiosity. But according to recent research highlighted in Harvard Business Review, employees don't feel as free to be curious as their bosses think they do — but there are ways to fix that.
