POROUS: First Draft Complete
On Saturday, August 19, I finished my first full-length novel. Despite the fact that I've written, edited, and published three books in collaboration with my mom and sister – the Seeds trilogy – as well as a solo novella in the same series, this is my first solo novel. POROUS began in January of 2014 as…Read More
Book Review: The Windup Girl by Paolo Baciagalupi
A dystopian future where genetically-modified food is ever-present. Where the rising tides of climate change have permanently altered human landscapes and agriculture. Where corporations and governments use biological warfare to enslave and oppress. Where political webs are woven and unwoven every day, with millions of lives hanging in the balance. Am I describing the Seeds…Read More
A Minimalist's Guide to Content Creation
When was the last time someone told you to "do more with less"? How about "think less, live more"? Or, "reduce, reuse, recycle"? When was the last time you saw an article about the tiny home trend? Minimalist design? Or a DIY Pinterest post about reducing consumption via, well, doing it yourself? Minimalism as a trend…Read More
Bringing SEEDS to the Silver Screen: Part One
In December of 2015, I was being terribly impolite by checking my phone at Christmas dinner with my family. I glanced through my emails to find an unexpected missive from a man named Josh Tickell. I skimmed it and then sat back, stunned and suddenly incapable of participating in the banter around the table. I…Read More

Book Review: The All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness
Have you read Deborah Harkness's A DISCOVERY OF WITCHES yet? If not, why not? It's okay if you haven't. I'm late to the party, too. The first book was published almost six years ago and I didn't know about it until last year. You could have asked me that question a little over a year…Read More
Branding For Authors: An Overview
As a writer and a winemaker, I think a lot about branding. Branding is critical for selling wine, because it's impossible to know what's in the bottle until you buy it and open it. Branding builds a relationship of trust between the buyer and the winemaker: when the buyer knows the brand, he knows the…Read More
Book Review: THE SNOW LEOPARD by Peter Matthiessen, and THE GLASS BEAD GAME by Herman Hesse
It must have been an act of supreme universal goodness that delivered each of these books into my hands at differently similar times when I needed them for differently similar reasons. The Snow Leopard by Peter Matthiessen I half-borrowed, half-stole from my sister almost two years ago when I was re-embarking on a journey I began almost…Read More

Data driven prioritization and review of targets for molecular based theranostic approaches in pancreatic cancer.
J Nucl Med. 2017 Oct 19. pii: jnumed.117.198440. doi: 10.2967/jnumed.117.198440. [Epub ahead of print]

Molecular targeted therapeutical and imaging strategies directed at aberrant signaling-pathways in pancreatic tumor cells may improve the poor outcome of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA). Therefore, relevant molecular targets need to be identified. Methods: We collected publicly available expression profiles of patient derived normal pancreatic tissue (n = 77) and PDA samples (n = 103). Functional Genomic mRNA (FGmRNA) profiling was applied to predict target upregulation on the protein level. We prioritized these targets based on current status of (pre)-clinical therapeutical and imaging evaluation in PDA. Results: We identified 213 significantly upregulated proteins in PDA compared to normal pancreatic tissue. We prioritized mucin-1 (MUC1), mesothelin (MSLN), gamma-glutamyltransferase 5 (GGT5) and cathepsin-E (CTSE) as the most interesting targets, since studies already demonstrated their potential for both therapeutic and imaging strategies in literature. Conclusion: This study can facilitate clinicians and drug developers in deciding which theranostic targets should be taken for further clinical evaluation in PDA.

Christmas recipes from our gourmet edit
The festive season is all about indulging and these quick and easy recipes are my go-to every year, putting a sweet smile on everyone's faces – whether you've been asked to bring a plate or looking for a unique secret santa gift.
Traditional caramel fudge
450g caster sugar
1/2 cup (125ml) milk
1 tin (395g) sweetened condensed milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
Line a square baking tin with baking paper and set aside. Heat the sugar and milk slowly in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves. Add the condensed milk and bring to the boil, keeping an eye on the mixture so it doesn't crystallise. Boil for another 15-20 minutes, until the mixture is thick and glossy. Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin (be careful not to get the mixture on you) and leave to cool completely, before cutting into squares.
Chocolate bark
250g milk chocolate
100g pretzels
250g white chocolate
8 small candy canes, crushed
250g dark chocolate
100g crystallised ginger, finely chopped
Line three trays with baking paper and set aside. Put the milk chocolate in a microwave-proof dish and melt on a high heat, stirring every 30 seconds. Once melted, pour the chocolate into the first tray, smooth with the back of a spoon and sprinkle with the crushed candy canes. In another bowl, melt the white chocolate using the same process and pour onto the second tray, sprinkling with pretzels. In another bowl, repeat the process with the dark chocolate and sprinkle with the ginger. Place the trays in the fridge to set, then break into shards. Keep in the fridge until you're ready to serve.
Peppermint hot chocolate
1 cup of powdered milk
1 cup cocoa powder
1 cup caster sugar
½ tsp salt
½ cup chocolate chips
½ cup crushed candy canes
Mix contents in a large bowl. For each serving, place three tablespoons in a mug and stir in boiling water. Store remaining mix in an airtight container.
If you're making this as a gift, layer the ingredients in a 1 litre jar and finish with a cute tag of cooking instructions.

Taking my inspiration from the flotsam and jetsam of the beach I produce several instantly recognisable collections of jewellery in silver, gold, and bronze. Semi-precious and precious stones, vermeil and oxidisation provide striking contrasts. The jewellery has a purity of form that can be read across cultural boarders in what Yung calls " the collective unconscious ". These pebble like pieces are primitive, organic and very tactile. I pay great attention to a variety of surface finishes that interpret the sea tumbled surfaces of sandstone, limestone and granite.

Filtering by Category: Collection
1993 & 2007 Gibson Doves
Richard Moffett
I don't know how it happens, but when it rains, it pours. I love Gibson acoustics. I especially love Hummingbirds, Doves, J200 etc. They always remind me of the cowboy dreamworlds I lived in as a boy.
Note the subtle differences between the model years. 1997 was, as I understand, the second year of production in Boseman, Montana. It's top has aged very nicely. The gold & pearl Kluson tuners differ from the Grovers on the 2007.
The headstock inlays are much nicer on the 2007. They are much more defined with much less filler.
The flame maple is more pronounced on the 2007 as well. I kept them both out for an entire weekend and, with the help of my wife, did repeated blind sound tests. I chose the older one, even though it's features are not as pronounced. It's pickup is not active and its condition is a few point lower. What bugs me most about the 1993 is that someone, years ago, placed the strap button on the downside of the neck at the 14th fret! Oh well… The 2007 is for sale here firstname.lastname@example.com
1987 & 88 Strat Plus in rare Bahama Green
Richard Moffett
2007 Gibson Dove
Richard Moffett
1995 Lip Stick Red Fender Strat Plus
Richard Moffett
I just bought this Strat Plus a week or so ago so these are not very good pictures. 1995 was the next to last year of production. The nut is great with ball bearings for the strings to roll thru. The knobs are from a different Strat Plus and i don't have a whammy bar for it yet. It sounds great and plays nice.
Fender '62 Re-issue Jazz Bass Medium Scale
Richard Moffett
I have been searching for a Mustang Bass or Musicmaster Bass with the medium scale length for months now, but the prices just didn't seem realistic. Well, problem solved. I just found this 1962 Re-issue Fender Jazz Bass imported direct from Japan with a medium scale neck! This model is not for sale in the US and was sent over from a dealer in Japan called IshiBashi. It's weight and 30″ scale is perfect for me. The quality equals or surpasses most American Fenders that I've seen lately and the Re-issue is as accurate as can be.
1950's Fender Champ Lap Steel in original Tweed case
Richard Moffett
One of my favorite sounding lap steels. I bought it from Bob Campbell Sr. many moons ago. It has a Fender Mustang looking pickup that really sings, right out of the case. My "Go To" Lap Steel. It's pictured with even an older Fender Electro steel signed in the body cavity by Leo himself. (As with all posts, Click the Pic to enlarge.
1985 Telecaster Custom, Candy Apple Red
Richard Moffett
From 1984 to 1987 Japan made re-issues are as historically accurate as can be. I should know, as I've owned both the original American made 60's guitars that they are modeled after and the re-issues that I collect now. As Fender ceased US production in the mid 80's to move from Fullerton to Corona, CA, the Japanese re-issues were shipped here to meet demands. Pictured here are 3 Tele's from that era. The red '85 is new to me and is very hot with Schaller pickups and a 6 piece heavy mass bridge that rings true.
Fender Hot Rod Deluxe
Richard Moffett
New Pedal Board effects and design
Richard Moffett
2001 Gibson Hummingbird
Richard Moffett
I was looking through guitars I haven't played for a while and realized that I never even featured one of the nicest sounding guitars I own. So here goes… This 2001 a Gibson Hummingbird was bought slightly used by me in 2005. It features an LR Baggs acoustic element pickup, which I love, but it sounds even better unplugged. My "Go To" acoustic for special occasions. It plays like a dream too.
Marshall Class 5 amps + EHX Soul Food , Jangle Box and Mooer !
Richard Moffett
Highly recommended by my nephew and guitar consultant Seth Connors, I bring you, direct from England, 2 all tube Marshall's with amazing punch and sustain. These are Series two models and no longer in production. They can both drive extension cabs or deliver just 1 watt each for recording purposes and massive distortion amounts.
5 watts never sounded so great. Both amps feature nothing but vintage Marshall tone. I'm pairing them with a Mooer AnaEcho pedal and the new Electro Harmonix clean boost with overdrive pedal, "Soul Food". I can switch from one to the other or run them both together with the ART ABY box. If I throw in my Jangle a Box compressor or a half size Mooer Reverb pedal I'll be set for anything!
Pedal board designed and built by Seth Connors.
1984 & 86 Paisley Telecaster First Re-issue
Richard Moffett
I was lucky enough to own an original 1968 Paisley Tele in the late seventies and I never forgot it's light weight spanking tones that seemed to be present at darn near any volume. Years passed and I ran across some information about Fender's brief but productive shift to Japan and the amazing re-issues they were making while the Fender plant was shut down in Fullerton California and moved to Corona. I own a few Tele's from that era and the only one I've left completely stock is the Paisley. It feels and sounds just great the way it is. Pictured side by side with mine is another 1st year re-issue owned by my friend and fellow teacher and awesome bluegrass legend, Randy Stewart. Fender has twice re-issued these Paisley Telecasters since 1984 but the pickups are not as lively, the pots are smaller and he wiring is less than code. I can't afford to return to 1968 but 1984 is just fine with me.
Black Sparkle ETS 4×5 Pedal Steel Guitar
Richard Moffett
I know I have too many steel guitars. When you sit behind one of Bud Carter and the late Larry Agan's ETS steels you just feel at home. This one came my way via the Steel Guitar Forum and it needed a few tweaks so … I sent it off to Mabank Texas for Bud to set up. It should re-arrive at my house by mid next week. While not as striking as my red metal flake ETS from an earlier post, it's still a great instrument that I'm lucky to own. Now I have two identical steels for work and for travel. No surprises!
Martin 00-16DBM Deep Body Acoustic
Richard Moffett
My wife Nancy actually found this cool mahogany Martin on a local list serve. "Women in Music" was the theme and 440 guitars (mine is #283) were made with profits donated to Women's breast cancer research. Each guitar was signed by C.F.Martin IV. I'm told that 49 were made as deep body 00-16 models. The body is dreadnought thick, 1/2″ thicker than standard 00 models. The braces are scalloped and the fingerboard and bridge are ebony. It is loud and sweet!
Welcome "Almost" New Justice 3×4 Pedal Steel
Richard Moffett
After selling old blue, my BMI steel guitar posted last, I searched for another light weight single neck 10-string guitar that I could afford. I found this "sold but unplayed" 3 pedal, 4 knee lever JUSTICE guitar direct from renowned builder Fred Justice. It's only the second one of this model he's ever built. It's got a light weight maple body and neck, unpolished end plates and economy brushed chrome parts on top but underneath… It's all JUSTICE!
Solid, reliable, great sounding including a "George L" E-66 pickup. I'm still lending an eye towards a Mullen Discovery or a Zum Encore (both similar guitars but more $$). For now however, this great sounding steel does the trick. Fred answers every call, walks you thru the set up and calls you back in a few days to see how you like it! Just the best service you could imagine.
"Good-buy" Old Blue, BMI S-10, 3×3 Pedal Steel
Richard Moffett
I've owned this great BMI S-10 pedal steel for at least 20 years now and it seems that the time has come to say goodbye. Used on countless recordings and live dates, this steel has become a part of me… A very heavy part of me!
With the advent of the new light-weight pedal steels like my ETS shown in an earlier post, these old heavy-weights are becoming the "stay at home" guitars of choice for older, less traveling players.
I so loved my new ETS that I began researching various other company's offerings. I needed another steel for my studio as well as one for home and traveling to the few events that I still play each year. I found an S-10, 3×4 (3 pedals, 4 Knee levers) made by renown builder Fred Justice in Arizona. I will feature that guitar in my next post.
"Old Blue" will be making a trip to a northern California Pedal Steel shop soon and I'm sure it will find a good permanent home with little or no traveling from show to show. My friend Ben Reed (who I borrowed, then bought the steel from 20 years ago) has given his blessings and the new Justice pedal steel has arrived so, the time has come. 20 years ago my BMI steel was a good-buy and I'm sure its new owner knows that he got a "good-buy".
ETS 10-string 4×5 Pedal Steel Guitar
Richard Moffett
ETS stands for East Texas Steel and that's where this guitar was made in march or april 2013. This wonderful Pedal Steel hasn't even arrived at my door yet, but I couldn't wait to post these great pictures from the Pedal Steel Forum. It will arrive hopefully sometime this week from a great Steel player and nice man in Mississippi, Billy Carr.
It weighs only 42lbs in it's case! All aluminum body with maple neck and George L pickup and 9 coats of laquer. Standard Emmons set up with 5 knee levers and 3 Pedals. I hope my other steels don't get jealous, but I'll be playing this lightweight for years to come.
Richard Moffett
2013 The Acoustic Year… Eastman 515 F-style Mandolin
Richard Moffett
I'm hoping that this year will be my year of the acoustic instrument. I purchased a concertina earlier in the year and am currently shopping for OM style acoustic guitars and a newer pedal steel (often played with acoustic instruments). I ran across this fabulous F-style Eastman Mandolin! I've had many cheaper quality mandolins throughout the years. This individually hand-crafted all solid wood mando is light and loud and years ahead of my abilities. If the phrase "the right tool for the right job" is correct, I ought to be pretty proficient by years end.

A Great Day at the Office
by Eric Goldstein - October 24, 2014
It is always a great day at the office when my office is a high school classroom filled with exceptional teaching and students on their feet engaged and learning. That's the day I had today when I visited Ms. Keisha Thorpe's 12th grade Senior Capstone class at Bell Multicultural High School in DC Public Schools. Hers is one of the dozens of classes using OWEd's Writing Program this fall. In this Capstone class, students learn skills like listening, writing, and public speaking...

"My daughter was born November 27th, 2008 (my freshman year in high school)," one of our 2012 Student Ambassadors wrote in her One World Education essay. "Thankfully, and with the encouragement and support from my family, I am doing great. I am a successful teen mom and my daughter is very well taken care of. Being a teenage mother is a very rigorous task. It takes strength, faith, intelligence, patience, and family support. Without those factors it can end in tragedy. As...

It's Walk to School Day
by Holly Kearl - October 8, 2014
When I was in kindergarten and first grade, my family lived in Iowa City, Iowa, just a few blocks from my elementary school. I walked there with my next door neighbor and best friend Aaron, who was my same age. I remember a bully picking on me once or twice, but otherwise, I recall it being a safe and uneventful journey. When my family and I moved to Kentucky and then to California, my schools were miles away, so I took the school bus in Kentucky and the city bus in California. I joined the majority...

Teach Empathy During Bullying Awareness Month
by Holly Kearl - October 1, 2014
"I'm not going to lie to you," wrote One World Education Student Ambassador Alexandra Fognani in the opening of her essay. "I once bullied a classmate named Ann. She was 12 years old. We were in the same class at our elementary school and I did it because everyone was doing it. I was shy and didn't know how to stand up for what was right." Bullying and cyber-bullying impact most students during their school career. They may be victims of bullying, witnesses to...

The webinar shares strategies and practitioners' tips on how financial educators can put the principles into practice. Based on research on financial well-being, the CFPB has distilled a set of five principles that can be put into practice through financial education aimed at adults:
- Know the individuals and families to be served
- Provide actionable, relevant and timely information
- Improve key financial skills
- Build on motivation
- Make it easy to make good decisions and follow through
The five principles build on research-based insights about how people make financial decisions, on feedback from financial education practitioners, and on what the CFPB has learned about consumers' own experiences in the financial marketplace.
You can access the full report here. For a quick reference to the principles and how they can foster financial well-being, check out our two-page summary of the principles here.


text: The latest sculpture from Fossil Forge emerged on a humid and cloudy day. This is called Anxiety-Bot. The sculpture is a response piece to another sculpture we have been working on for the Art for Arthritis foundation. Each summer, local artists are paired with children who struggle with arthritis. A child and I created a special piece (I will post photos soon) that is her expression. The body language and personality of the Anxiety-Bot reflect the upcoming departure of a child from the home. The fears, uncertainties and separation are depicted. Anxiety-Bot is made from a variety of metals, including found objects and recycled materials. Red shards of glass fill the torso. Green eyes stare wide open. This sculpture stands almost six-feet tall and is comfortable inside or outside.

Rigor, Responsibility and Respect - Personalized Learning by Design
For one hour, 5th grade students from Washington Irving were mesmerized by Doktor Kaboom's comedy science show at SUNY Purchase. Using humor and exciting demonstrations, Doktor Kaboom took the students on an educational tour of the scientific method, chemical reactions, air pressure, simple machines, and illusions of the mind. There was plenty of audience participation and two of WI's very own were asked to join Doktor Kaboom on stage. One student was challenged to capture banana pieces flung from a tabletop catapult, and another student experienced the movement of air through the Vortex Generator/Air Cannon. The students thoroughly enjoyed their science experience. Kaboom!

Portugal final game for the European title has taken quite a turn and has not gone as planned against France.
Cristiano Ronaldo was injured in the opening minutes Sunday, colliding with French midfielder Dimitri Payet in the knee area.
Ronaldo's knee buckled, and he was able to resume the match but lacked his usual quickness and seemed to be in a lot of pain. Another collision minutes later put him back on the ground, this time with trainers and teammates surrounding him.
Ronaldo was unable to finish the match, and was subbed out by Ricardo Quaresma.
Ronaldo has nine goals in his Euro career, tied for the competition record set by France's Michael Platini.
A butterfly came down to the field while Ronaldo was down, landing on his eyelash while he tended to his knee. Comforting

Our Asphalt Contractors Explain 3 Questions to Consider Before Paving Your Driveway
When you're considering the upgrade of your home driveway with paving products, carefully consider all options available. You should also know the elements to take into consideration during this important part of the decision-making process. Your choice could either save you thousands of dollars or cost you more money as you try to maintain the system over the coming years. To help provide further information on the topic of driveway surface materials, our team of asphalt contractors explains 4 questions to consider before paving your driveway.
- Which Material Offers the Best Value?
When evaluating paving products, consider the long-term value for your residence. Which system can hold its material structure and save on maintenance costs for the coming years? Working with asphalt driveway contactors is ideal in this regard as they can help you to capitalize on the many material benefits offered by asphalt, which retains its structure over time and resists cracking even in locations with temperature extremes of summer and winter.
- Which Company Should We Choose?
The company chosen for the paving work is an important consideration for your project. Try to locate a company that has many years' experience working with the latest paving systems, like Mt. Pleasant Blacktopping. When communicating with local asphalt driveway contractors, make sure you ask the company about their past work and have them visit your property before they begin. During their consultation with you, their team should be able to analyze the unique structure of your property and highlight any challenges they foresee in implementing a paving project.
- What is the Timeframe?
When considering driveway paving options, it's important to analyze your timeframe and whether you need the project to be completed quickly. Certain paving products, such as concrete can take time to add to the home. That's because your existing driveway will have to be removed before being repaved. If you have a shorter timeframe in mind, you might consider asphalt products. Asphalt can be installed by driveway contactors over your original driveway, saving hours of time from the installation and adding value to your home, now and in the future.
Our trusted team at Mt. Pleasant Blacktopping is here to guide you in analyzing your driveway paving options! To discover more, contact us today!

Salt Dough Recipe
- 1 Cup Salt
- 2 Cups Flour
- 1 Cup Warm Water
Put the salt and flour into a bowl, add the water slowly and mix to form a dough. After five to ten minutes of kneading, it should form a soft, pliant ball.
If it's slightly too sticky, add more flour and if it's slightly too dry, add more water.
To make coloured dough I add food paste to the water prior to mixing. However you may wish to try adding natural colouring like instant coffee, cocoa, or curry powder.
Making Decorations
Roll the dough to approx 1cm thick. Use shaped cookie cutters (we used a Star, Christmas Tree, Heart, Teddy Bear, Santa, Snowman and a Reindeer) to cut a selection of shapes. As we were making hanging decorations I made a small hole in the top of each shape with a wooden skewer.
You can leave the shapes to air dry, however this could take several days so I dried ours in the oven. Set the oven very low (around 100 degrees C) and bake until dry. They may still take a few hours to dry (ours took 2-3 hours) and you can set the oven hotter to speed up the process, but the dough will brown.
When the decorations are cool they are ready to be decorated. We used paint and glitter.
I will decorate both sides of our shapes and I may or may not varnish the finished creations, depending on how much glitter the kids use! Finally I will tie a piece of ribbon through the hole and hang up ready for Christmas 🙂

GOODSEX brings to you "In The Morning"/
"In The Morning" - Austin Sexton ft Demrick
Director: C. Austin Cantu
Executive Producer: Yasemin Denari
Cinematographer: Brendan Riel
Editor: Cal Laird
Starring: Austin Sexton, Demrick, Patrizia Yanguela, and Mike Lee
"In The Morning" feat. Demrick is the last visual installment from Austin Sextons 2017 debut album "GOODSEX". The video was filmed "Desperate Housewives" style with a comical twist. Austin and his assistant Mike arrive at a client's home less than pleased with their current situation in life, but one afternoon by the pool deliciously close to four beautiful women changes everything. Directed by C. Austin Cantu with vision from VU (Director of Austins "Oh Anna" music video) and Austin himself, this sexy new visual is more like a short film than it is a music video. The record is a beautiful blend of neo-soul and hip hop, thanks to the hard hitting bars from LA native rapper Demrick who also makes a cameo in the video.

The beauty of the Vertical In-lines is that the top-like motion of the motor causes very little vibration. Imagine it as an upside down pendulum with the fixed point being the pump casing. Even if the motor may be vibrating at 1.5 mil, the effect at the piping is theoretically zero and is actually very little. The minor displacement is easily taken up by the piping spring hangers.
Pipe mounting is the preferred method for VIL installation.This eliminates the concrete, springs, and required floor space.
"But we live in California!" you scream! Never fear. Those designing in Earthquake Land simply provide pipe supports on neoprene pads for seismic projects. Which is still lower in overall cost than concrete inertia bases and spring isolators.

A meeting involving Nigeria's Minister of Labour, Dr Chris Ngige, and the leadership of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, (NUPENG) is expected to hold today.
It was also gathered that the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association Of Nigeria, (PENGASSAN) would be part of the meeting.
It is aimed at trashing out disagreement between the unionist and oil companies over staff welfare.
The federal government, as it did in 2016, is mediating on the issue.
The outcome of the meeting will determine whether NUPENG will proceed on strike action, having earlier given a three-day warning.

Real Madrid star Lucas Silva awaiting results of cardiac tests which may spell the end of his career
Brazilian was found to be suffering from heart problems after undergoing a routine medical test with Sporting Lisbon in July
REAL MADRID star Lucas Silva is sweating on the results of a cardiac test which could mean the end of his professional career.
The Brazilian midfielder, 23, is not in training as a precautionary measure after problems were detected during a routine examination ahead of a proposed loan to Sporting Lisbon in July.
A heart anomaly was picked up in the tests and as a result Silva was advised not to play football until it had been fully investigated.
It's been a turbulent time for the cultured midfielder since his 2014 switch from Cruzeiro.
After failing to break into the Real first time, his loan at Marseille was cut short when he was booted off the team coach.
And after the move to Sporting broke down, Silva's career could now be over.
The Portuguese club did a second test and found the same results - and the Brazilian is sweating on Madrid's own medical examination.
Real face Osasuna at the weekend as they look to continue their 100 perfect winning start to the new La Liga season.

Compiled by Paulette Motzko on Easter Sunday 2017.
I was doing some more exploring on Spotify this morning and discovered a phenominal category called "words". Under that heading there things like famous author readings, poetry, learning languages of all kinds, meditations and this wonderful fairy tail playlist that also includes an entire list of some of the most popular children stories in the world.
I played some of this and it is pretty awesome. The recording quality is clear with background music. I hope you and your child have some story time and maybe take the real book in real time and make the book come to life.
Let your child use their imagination. It's good for them.
Your child will also build their vocabulary in confidence and reading and be eager to listen hopefully to other books in the future.
Reading and listening to a book being read helps them think and you can create a dialogue between the two of you that will never happen with a video game.

The hottest new drama on television is now on DVD!
Yes, Grey's Anatomy's first season is coming to DVD
with all nine episodes with gripping plot lines, the
sensational soundtrack and all the hot stars. Now you
can experience all the drama, romance and excitement
of Grey's Anatomy from the beginning! If you tuned
into last week's post-Super Bowl episode and are now
hooked, this is a good time to get caught up with the
earlier episodes. So come on into Seattle Grace
Hospital and follow the lives of these "residence in
training interns!"
Grey's Anatomy stars Ellen Pompeo as Meredith Grey,
Sandra Oh as Cristina Yang, Katherine Heigl as Isobel
Stevens, Justin Chambers as Alex Karev, T.R. Knight as
George O'Malley, Chandra Wilson as Miranda Bailey,
James Pickens Jr. as Richard Webber, with Isaiah
Washington as Preston Burke, and Patrick Dempsey as
Derek "Dr. McDreamy" Shepherd.
Memorable Episodes / Notable Guest Stars:
With just nine episodes this season, you really need
to watch all nine in order to get a full grasp of
every detail. The show produced 13 episodes for
season one, but the final four episodes were held back
until the next season since the show did so well in
the ratings for ABC on Sunday nights that they wanted
to save some episodes for season two, so they would
have at least 26 "new" episodes for full season. I'm
not going to give away plot lines, but I'll tell you
which episodes are my personal best for this season.
"A Hard Day's Night" (the first episode), "No Man's
Land," "Shake Your Groove Thing," "The Self Destruct
Button," "Save Me," and the explosive season finale
"Who's Zoomin' Who?"
Guest starring is Anna Maria Horsford of Amen in "No
Man's Land," the guest star machine Kathryn Joosten in
"Shake your Groove Thing," Patricia McCormack of The
Ropers in "Who's Zoomin' Who?," and Kate Walsh in her
first appearance in the season finale "Who's Zoomin'
The packaging is pretty neat. You get a thin outer
box with a snap case (or is it a thin amaray case?)
inside. The box and the case both have the same cover
art. Headshots of different members of the cast, with
the show logo in the middle are present. The color
scheme is black and red. The back of the box and case
are also the same. We get a shot of Patrick Dempsey
on the top with set and show synopsis below that,
along with a nice quote from NewsDay. Three other
photos are below that. And there is also a red box
listing all the bonus features for this set.
The case has like a button type of opening. If you
are familiar with Universal Home Video's movie DVDs,
like Problem Child Tantrum Pack and the Cry_Wolf movie
you know what I mean. There are two buttons that you
pull so you can get inside the case. It is a nice
touch and good move by Buena Vista, since this is just
a two disc set. On the left side of the case we see
four inserts. One is a chance to win a TV-on-DVD
library, another one is a TV on DVD booklet (very
outdated for that matter), a Grey's Anatomy soundtrack
insert and an episode guide insert for Grey's Anatomy
listing episode number, title and a long synopsis. The
discs are on the right side. They are not overlapped.
They are in like a book type form. Looking at disc
one, then you turn the page and you get to disc two.
The discs themselves are plain looking, with a black
background and the show logo in red coloring. Episodes
1-5 are on disc one and episodes 6-9 on disc two.
Menu Design and Navigation:
The menu screen is very high-quality. Disc one starts
off with the automatic previews. We get preview
trailer of BVHE's TV on DVD products: Lost, Desperate
Housewives, Alias, Scrubs, Golden Girls and Home
Improvement. After that there is a promo for Lost
airing Wednesdays on ABC. Then we get to the menu! It
starts off with headshots of the main cast, from
Cristina to Meredith. The catchy theme is playing in
the background. Then with the theme still playing, we
get to the main menu screen with the options and video
clips play in the background. The theme does loop!
Disc one options are: Audio Commentaries, Set Up, TV
on DVD Sneak Peeks, Episode Selection, Play All.
Sneak Peeks has the same TV on DVD trailer from the
start of the disc. Audio Commentaries are for the
episode "A Hard Day's Night," which is of course the
pilot episode. There are two tracks for that episode,
which I'll detail in the special features section a
bit later. Set Up menu has where you can turn on the
captions for the hearing impaired along with how to
register your DVD. Episode Selection menu has a
screenshot from the episode along with the title of
the episode, and then you can select which one you
want to view. Disc two options are almost the same:
Bonus Features, Set Up, Episode Selection, Play All.
Each submenu for both discs has a different track from
the nice sounding soundtrack! Chapter stops are
available for each episode and the show is in
Video and Audio Quality:
The video and audio are both excellent, as it should
be since this series is so new. The video is in
widescreen like I mentioned. Audio is perfect in
Dolby Digital Surround Sound. I have no complaints
whatsoever. There are chapter stops, which is always
needed for each TV DVD I think. And the episodes are
unedited in the range of 42:30 to 43:30 or so. You'll
just love the music in this show!
Special Features:
The set is just two discs, since the show's first year
only had 9 episodes, but that doesn't mean the bonus
features are lacking! It certainly doesn't have the
quantity of the other big ABC TV DVDs (Lost, Alias,
Desperate Housewives), but the quality is just as
good! On disc one, we have two commentary tracks for
the episode "A Hard Day's Night." The first track is
with creator/executive producer Shonda Rhimes and
director Peter Horton. The second track is from
actors Sandra Oh, Katherine Heigl, and T.R. Knight.
Disc two is where the action is regarding bonus
features. The first bonus feature on this disc is a
featurette titled, "Under the Knife: Behind the Scenes
of Grey's Anatomy." It run 11:20 and has interviews
with Peter Horton (co-executive producer), Shonda
Rhimes (executive producer), Betty Beers (executive
producer), Sandra Oh, Isaiah Washington, Krista
Vernoff (co-executive producer), Jim Parriott
(executive producer), Ellen Pompeo, Patrick Dempsey,
Justin Chambers, Linda Klein (medical producer),
Katherine Heigl, James Pickens Jr., Chandra Wilson,
Harry Werksman (supervising producer), Gabrielle
Stanton (supervising producer), T.R. Knight, and Mark
Gordon (executive producer). This is very good to
watch. You will learn a lot. The writing team is
primarily female and the surgery is done by real
doctors, but you just don't know it! They show table
read footage and note that medical terms are added
Next up is "Anatomy of a Pilot." It runs 11:44 and
has original scenes from the first episode that did
not make it to the final cut, but were very good
scenes. It has an optional commentary track by Rhimes
and Horton, which should be heard so you know what the
heck the scenes are for and why they were removed. Up
next is "Dissecting Grey's Anatomy: Unaired Scenes."
Three episodes have unaired scenes. "The First Cut is
the Deepest," "Winning a Battle," and "No Man's Land."
The first one has three scenes: The Scan running at
56 seconds, Have a Good Day Mom running at 47 seconds,
and Reflection running at 45 seconds. The second
episode with unaired scenes has one scene titled Red
running at 1 minute 36 seconds. And the final episode
with unaired scenes has one scene titled Balance
running 48 seconds. Then we have the "Alternative
Main Title." It runs 0:32 with the same music as the
theme we all know and love, but with different
graphics. I like the one they use on the episodes
better than this one. Finally, a French type spoof
trailer that was created by the production theme
titled "Avant-Garde Trailer." It runs 2:08 and it
sort of hilarious.
Final Comments:
What a wonderful show and set! This show is just so
good. Critics love it. Viewers love it. Everyone
loves it! The show sometimes is overshadowed by Lost
and Desperate Housewives, but is on the same radar I
think as these shows. Hopefully the Super Bowl
episode will bring in a new audience. The show is
already a hit and might be even more of a hit soon. I
think ABC will move the show to Tuesday or Mondays at
10 p.m. next fall to have their three best dramas on
three separate nights. Well, before I get ahead of
myself, watch the show this season on Sundays at 10
p.m. right after Desperate Housewives! And of course
get the DVD—because there is like no faults to this
set that I can find. So, this Valentine's Day,
"there's a girl you might know," and her name is
Meredith Grey, pick her up on DVD for sure!
Final Numbers (out of 5 stars - How our point system works)
Video Quality: 5/5
Audio Quality: 5/5
Special Features: 3.5/5
Menu Navigation/Design: 4/5
Overall: 4.5/5

The show was organized by assemblage artist Dale Copeland of New Zealand.I'm happy to have two collages in the show, Introspection (above), and Alter Ego/Foundling."Introspection" was created on top of a catalog page that featured a photo of a model wearing a sweatshirt. The draping of the sweatshirt's folds somehow reminded me of the lines of a face. (I know, I know... I see oddball things in everyday images, without even trying!)Once the background was established, the other elements surfaced rather quickly to complete the image. This collage remains one of my favorites — the first of many faces to follow, most of which are available for viewing in the Foundling gallery on my website.Note: Those of you who read this blog via postings on Facebook will be familiar with "Introspection" because I use it as my avatar there.

OK, so I just noticed that this blog hasn't been updated since Oct. 13. Whasupwitdat? Well, I'm still here and hopefully now that things have settled down a bit I'll be able to get back to updating more regularly.
I have been busy updating the Video Games section at wvgazette.com, however. Since my last update, I've reviewed "WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2010," "NBA Live 10," "NBA 2K10," "Saw," "Borderlands" and just today, "Dragon Age: Origins." Whew.
Like many of you, I picked up my copy of "Modern Warfare 2" Monday at midnight and have been most impressed. I'll have a full review soon, but it's lived up to the hype, as far as I'm concerned. This week sees the release of the season's final two big guns, "Assassin's Creed 2" and "Left 4 Dead 2." Both look most promising.
So head on over to the Video Games section of wvgazette.com for my latest reviews and keep checking back here for regular updates. After all, it's good to be regular.

Shopping cart is empty.
THE FACELESS´ long-awaited, fourth studio album "In Becoming a Ghost" is finally here. The tasteful blend of eerie melody and harmony combined with fast-paced drums and blast beats will leave you in shock.
Classic death/grind metal with influences of Slayer and Morbid Angel.
The grandiose symphonic power metal of Fairyland comes through impressively on this 2006 album. For fans of Rhapsody, Blind Guardian and Luca Turilli.
After gaining mainstream success with their previous album "The Real Thing" in 1989, the band continued three years later with "Angel Dust", a mind-bending masterpiece of musicianship.
Faith No More are virtually impossible to categorize - they blend metal and rap elements in a mix that becomes seamless on "The Real Thing", whose hit single "Epic" is a perfect combination of these disparate genres.
Finnish viking/folk/death-metal act, very similar to Ensiferum and featuring members of Korpiklaani.
A wonderful blend of heavy and folk metal! Once again FALCONER shine with a breathtaking amount of hits about medieval life in their native Sweden. Ltd. edition digibook includes 2 bonus tracks and video clip!
The seventh album from Swedish power metal maestros Falconer. Compared to the previous albums, "Armod" is more influenced by folk music and is sung entirely in Swedish.
Limited first pressing digipak with 4 bonus tracks (english versions).
Swedish folk metal forerunners FALCONER return to glory with their new album, "Black Moon Rising", the most guitar-oriented, riff-filled, and fastest FALCONER release to date.
Falkenback's "...Magni Blandinn Ok Megintri..." laid the blueprint for modern viking metal. Epic in every sense, cinematic yet stouthearted, atmospheric yet often grim, Falkenback's second album honors the enigmatic band's proud pagan ancestry....
Falkenbach´s third opus "Ok Nefna Tysvar Ty" reveals itself as a significant milestone for viking/pagan-metal with its bombastic arrangements and epic choirs. Hymn-like compositions with noble melodies and ancient lyrics remind often Bathory´s...
The fifth work by the viking metal legend Falkenbach impressively resumes the journey into the world of Nordic mythology. Epic melodies, raw parts, catchy leads and calm interludes come together on "Tiurida" (Eng. "Glory") to deliver the...
