Book of Saints – Maximus – 13 August
(Saint) Martyr (August 13) (7th century) A Greek of noble birth at first attached to the Court of the Emperor Heraclius, but who retired to the monastery of Chrysopolis (Scutari) and devoted himself to Ecclesiastical studies. He was a great champion of Orthodoxy against the Monothelite heretics, and assisted at the Lateran Council of A.D. 649. By order of the Emperor, who sided with the Monothelites, or at least wished to hush up the controversy, Saint Maximus was seized in Rome and taken as a prisoner to Constantinople. There, on his refusal to abate aught of his Catholic Faith, his right hand was cut off and his tongue torn out. His disciple, Saint Anastasius suffered the same fate, and they both died in prison of their wounds (A.D. 662). Saint Maximus was a voluminous writer, and acquired the surname of "Theologus" (The Theologian). There have been several editions of his works published in modern times.

Hi there and welcome.
You can't do it directly on the mail app, if you have an smtp account you can go to your webmail and make new mailboxes which will then appear on your iPad. If you are using a pop account then there is no way to do this.
There is lots of good advice and info on here plus plenty of members all too willing to help with any problems.
Remember, search is your friend.......and please don't forget to read the rules http://www.ipadforums.net/forum-rules-help-info/2119-forum-rules-everybody-please-read.html & hacking section rules for all you jail breakers (and would be jail breakers) http://www.ipadforums.net/ipad-hacking/2892-hacking-section-rules-please-read.html

IMAP or Exchange accounts will sync mail folders with the server. POP accounts won't. SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is a protocol/server most most providers use to handle outgoing mail, and is standard for both IMAP and POP accounts.
The IMAP and POP protocols have to do with handling mail syncing/copying between a computer client and the server. SMTP sends your email on it's way to the recipient; although that is probably a gross over simplification it will have to do, because thats about all I understand about it myself.
Oh.....did I say SMTP instead of IMAP......I need to slap myself every now and again!

"Ten soldiers died in 2013, eight in 2014 and nine in 2015 at the Siachen Glacier. Another 14 soldiers have died till 31 March this year at the world's highest battlefield," said Col. S D Goswami, spokesperson of the army's Udhampur-headquartered Northern Command.
"Troops posted in high-altitude areas are trained in basic and advanced skills in mountainous and snow-bound areas. Troops posted in avalanche-prone areas are subjected to a series of training in the field formation area," he said.
"Weather conditions prevailing in the sector are closely monitored by the Snow and Avalanche Study Establishment stations at Sasoma and Srinagar. Weather warnings are religiously followed in terms of restrictions on operation/administration related movement."
He said that adequate compensation was provided to defence personnel deployed in difficult terrains in border areas in the form of salaries and compensatory allowances.

Read What Experts Have to Say
Tasty, healthful raw almond milk really delivers
Raw almond milk and Jeff Leaf, founder of Mylkman
A riddle: What do you get when you cross a raw foodist with a milkman? Answer: Lucky–since he delivers raw almond milk that's healthier and lower calorie than cow's milk.
LA Almond Milk Delivery Service
By Hilary Pollack | February 16, 2012
Los Angeles-area residents now have the option of ordering from a door-to-door almond-milk delivery service.
Los Angeles is now home to an old-school service with a modern twist—the archaic milk deliveryman now comes in the form of Mylkman, offering fresh, artisan almond milk that arrives right to your door.
Mylkman Delivers A True All Natural Dairy
"Mylk" Alternative
This might sound strange, but I've been thinking a lot about almond milk lately. And actually not just almond milk, but hemp milk, rice milk, cashew milk, all the alternative lactose-free dairy substitutes I've noticed crowding Whole Foods' refrigerator shelves.
Local 1205 Wants to Grace Venice With Its Presence on July 4
It's seriously been 700 years since our first Local 1205 report. Ok fine, maybe just two years, but that's still a long time to track a venue which, even now, remains closed.
Watch out Gentlemen:
Vanilla Almond Maca Smoothie
The reason the gentlemen will have to be warned is because one of the benefits of Maca powder is it elevates the libido! I know a lady whose husband asked her to please limit the maca smoothies because he couldn't keep up! That being said, it is also great for men's virility and libido.
Crying Over Spilt Milk:
LAUSD Mulls the Death of Chocolate?
Posted on 5/13/2011 2:11:00 PM by Garrett Snyder
Don't get us wrong, we're big fans of Jaime Oliver's recent efforts to revamp the unhealthy menus at Los Angeles' public schools, but this past week's news that LAUSD is seeking a ban of 'flavored milks", which includes perennial favorites chocolate and strawberry, had us feeling sadly nostalgic.
Jeff Leaf, founder of the Mylkman Company
What could be better than the creamy combination of raw, organic almonds and coconut water? If you could have it delivered directly to your doorstep
What would you say if we told you that there is a hot guy who delivers his freshly made almond mylk door-to-door every morning, turning the milkman stereotype on its antiquated arse?

After a record breaking season, thoughts have already turned to the challenge of winning a seventh title in a row, as well as trying to reach the group stages of the Champions league once again. Some players have already left, whilst others will likely follow. Those that depart the club will leave with the best wishes of the fans but it's the players coming in that will really get the juices flowing. Annoyingly, but only if you're a journalist within the SMSM, the club's policy of only announcing players when and where they want to must be frustrating, given that they're all trying to fill column inches. Chances are that players have already been signed and the club are just waiting on the gaffer coming back from a well deserved holiday to announce them.
With the manager reportedly in the market for four players, a central defender, a midfielder, a winger and a striker, it's unlikely that he left without telling Peter Lawwell exactly who he wanted to bring in. He's been pretty candid also with how he sees progression in Europe with his wish of seeing the club still be involved in at least one of the two competitions during the second half of the season. With the club starting in the second qualifying round of the Champions League as one of 34 teams, progress to the group stages would be a feat in itself but clearly the manager has loftier ambitions.
The draw takes place on June 19th, on the same day that the clubs entering Europe's premier club competition at the first qualifying stage will find out who their opponents will be. Celtic will play the first leg on either July 11th or 12th before the draw is made for the third qualifying round on July 14th. The second leg will then be on the 18th or 19th of July and you'd have to be pretty pessimistic to think that the club won't safely negotiate the first tie.
Of the 17 seeded teams, Celtic have the highest coefficient. It shouldn't affect the side too much that the 34 clubs are split into a group of ten and two groups of twelve. There are no hard and fast rules about how the teams are divided but it seems loosely based on geography. The strongest unseeded team are the Slovakian champions MŠK Žilina, the side that FC Basel knocked out the round before they beat us in the Champions League in the season that we went to Seville. A trip to Ireland to play Dundalk or to Wales to take on The New Saints might be one of the preferred options in terms of travel but regardless of who comes out of the glass bowl in Nyon in eight days, the club should be well placed to advance. Touch wood!
No rest for the wicked as the dates for the next round come quickly. The first leg will be on the 25th or 26th of July with the second leg being played on the 1st or 2nd of August. Olympiakos enter the fray in the third qualifying round and in doing so, will knock Celtic off the top spot of seeded sides with the Hoops dropping to second. Fresh with new manager Besnik Hasi, who was at old foes Legia Warsaw last season and a side that can boast the likes of Óscar Cardozo, Marko Marin and Esteban Cambiasso in their first team, they'll fancy reaching the group stages so it's perhaps as well that we'll dodge them at this point. The teams in this round are split again, this time into two groups of ten. Malmö, Astana and Hapoel Be'er Sheva are all possible opponents at this stage, showing just how tough it will be to reach the top table, and that's before even reaching the 4th qualifying round for those sides that are in the competition via the champions route. The draw for the last round before the group stages takes place just two days after the second leg of the third round finishing so all being well, the excitement should be palpable.
It doesn't get any easier though.
Assuming that the all of the ten clubs from the champions route with the highest coefficient points reach the play-off stage, there is a strong chance that Celtic will play a team that we're reasonably familiar with. Qarabağ, NK Maribor and the aforementioned Legia Warsaw are all possible opponents. Chuck in BATE Borisov who have just clinched their eleventh league title in a row and Apoel Nicosia who got through a group in the last few years containing Porto, Shakhtar Donetsk and Zenit St Petersburg before knocking out Lyon in the last 16 to reach the quarter finals, then the scale of the task becomes clear. If all goes to plan coefficient wise, eight of the other nine teams at this stage will have entered the competition at the same stage as Celtic with just Olympiakos being spared the ignominy of a slightly earlier start. Compare and contrast that with the ten teams who look like contesting the play-off for non champions. Of the five seeded sides, Sevilla, Napoli and Liverpool all come straight in at this stage with Ajax and the final hosts, Dinamo Kiev both joining in the previous round. Even the non seeded sides see two teams making their first appearances of the competition. No one would begrudge Sporting Lisbon or Hoffenheim their chance to reach the top table but they sure have it a hell of a lot easier than Celtic do. It's worth mentioning the other three teams who are non seeds for the play-off round. Czech league runners up Viktoria Plzeň are in there as are CSKA Moscow and Club Brugge. As it stands at the moment, if Celtic do make it through, we'll go into Pot 4. However, if three out of Ajax, Dynamo Kiev, Liverpool, Napoli, Olympiakos or Sevilla are knocked out during qualifying, Celtic will get the bump to make it into Pot 3. We can wish, hope and dream, right?
The four pots for the group stages will look a little different in the upcoming season than they have done in previous years. Obviously some clubs have gone straight into the league proper and we're assuming that the qualifiers with the highest coefficient points will also make it but it's interesting reading nonetheless. The long and short of it is that in the 2015/16 season, UEFA decided that Pot 1 for the group stage draw for the 2017/18 season would be filled by the holders and the champions of the top seven national associations as per the club coefficient rankings at the end of season 2015/16. As we all know, Real Madrid won both the Champions League as well as their own domestic league in the season that's just ended, meaning that it freed up a spot in Pot 1 for the eighth seeded nation, the Ukraine, meaning that the champions, Shakhtar Donetsk go into the top pot.
So, Pot 1 will contain Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Juventus, Benfica, Monaco, Spartak Moscow and Shakhtar Donetsk. Of the 32 teams expected to make the group stage, only RB Leipzig, a Pot 4 team have less coefficient points than Spartak Moscow.
As you'd expect, Pot 2 looks rather tasty and also increasingly more difficult for a club like Celtic to make it to the last 16. Seven of the eight teams go straight into the second pot with only Sevilla, if they make it, having come through the qualifiers. Barcelona, Atlético Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Borussia Dortmund, Sevilla, Manchester City, Porto and Manchester United make up the numbers in the second pot. You'd be forgiven for arguing that it's a stronger section than Pot 1.
The potential opponents in Pot 3 are Napoli, Spurs, Basel, Dinamo Kiev, Ajax, Olympiakos, Anderlecht and Liverpool. As it stands currently in Pot 4, one again assuming that all the teams win that are expected to, we'll be joined by Roma, Besiktas, FC Salzburg, FC København, to give them their passport name, Ludogorets Razgrad, Feyenoord as well as Champions League debutants, RB Leipzig. Despite the controlling ownership issues with Salzburg, Leipzig look like being cleared to play.
So, we know as much as we can know at the moment. Clearly football isn't played on paper so some of the teams mentioned may be knocked out with others replacing them. As is stands at the moment though, if the club can safely negotiate the three qualifying rounds that they need to, then Zadok the Priest will be heard at Celtic Park once again for at least three home games in the group stages and hopefully beyond.
Keeping everything crossed that it happens and looking at the list as it stands, who would you choose as your preferred opponents from the groups for games between September 12th and December 6th?
Spartak, Porto, Basel

A Celebrity Brow Guru Gave Me a Painfully Honest Eyebrow Evaluation
"If you're looking at someone and something seems off, it's probably their brows."
That's what brow guru William Scott, who has worked with Bella Hadid, Lily Rabe, and Hilary Duff, tells me during a consultation last week. As soon as he says this, I think to myself, Wow, he must think something is really off on my face because my brows are bad. Like, bad with a capital B.
Truly, I've never had "good brows." They've always been kind of rectangle-shaped and thin. Then there was that one time in middle school when I decided to shave the baby hairs growing between my arches with a Bic razor and went a little too far in, thus fueling my first introduction to a brow pencil, at the age of 12. I also once decided I wanted my brows to look just like Megan Fox's (a fantasy, of course) and took some small brow scissors to my arches to "shape" them… You can probably guess what happened next. I shouldn't be allowed to touch my brows.
So I don't, really. I tweeze a few stray hairs every few weeks or so, but I've been trying to grow them out the best I can, albeit with slim results. My Nyx Micro Brow Pencil ($10) does a great job of filling them in and staying put, though when the product comes off, my poor, sparse arches stare back at me in the mirror, begging for mercy. It's a sad tale of the little eyebrows that couldn't.
Hallie Gould
I needed Scott's help, and I needed it badly. Getting the opportunity to sit down with him and have him tell me exactly what my brows needed was a blessing. He's worked for Kristie Streicher, creator of the Feathered Brow, and has taken over her NYC client base since she landed in L.A. The fact that he's worked with some great celebs doesn't hurt either; it made me feel safe in his hands. (Expectedly, he's also got a great pair of arches, himself.) Here's what Scott prescribed my sad, sad, brows:
I'd used a brow serum before and found that my brow hairs were growing way down low, and it honestly freaked me out. I stopped using it and plucked said low hairs, but Scott explained that this is to be expected. Your brow hairs grow in rows, so with a growth serum, you'll notice the hair growing both along your brow line and below your brows. He urged me, however, to leave them be, even if they look totally out of bounds. The reason for this, he explained, is that if you keep tweezing a new hair that comes through, your follicle will focus on that one hair alone and on regrowing it. Instead, if you leave it alone, your hair follicles employ a "buddy system," and when a new hair sprouts through, it'll bring some other surrounding hairs up with it, until finally you notice a lot of growth.
Scott insisted multiple times that I shouldn't tweeze my new brow hairs, even if the urge is so great and I feel self-conscious about the unruly strays appearing. To ameliorate this, he suggested trimming them or covering them with concealer and a highlighter.
Scott loves the cult-favorite Anastasia Brow Wiz and actually uses a back-and-forth motion to fill in brows instead of drawing short strokes in one direction. He said this is because sometimes, long hair will cover a bald spot, so by sweeping in one direction, you can miss that patch of skin. It also helps the brows to look more natural—just be sure to use the spoolie to blend everything in, since going in two directions creates layers.
Scott and I will meet once again in six weeks, after I've faithfully applied my Grande Brow serum every night (he says it's much easier to do to this before bed than in the morning) and not touched the new growth that comes in (as tempting as it may be). Ultimately, I'll notice the most change in six months, which kind of feels like an eternity, but I'm so pumped to see what they finally end up looking like. So long, sparse brows—it's been nice knowin' ya.
Check back in a few months for an update on my brow growth, and in the meantime, try some more great tips for growing out your own arches.

Joe, Unscripted
Joe Dowling on haters, home, the Guthrie legacy, and how to (politely) walk out of a show
TJ Turner/Sidecar
(page 1 of 4)
Last year, when Joe Dowling was being attacked for the Guthrie Theater's perceived lack of diversity in its programming, the theater's longest-serving artistic director was exasperated and, by all accounts, genuinely hurt. He had led the Guthrie since 1995. He oversaw its move to the Mississippi River, he expanded its community outreach, and he encouraged its ongoing efforts to bring other, smaller troupes into the building—where they perform on a stage with his name on it. Don't people know me by now? he wondered. Perhaps not. Recently, Michael Tortorello sat down for a long lunch with Dowling. No cameras. No soundbites. No agenda.
Noon at Sea Change restaurant, the table closest to Chekhov.
Michael Tortorello: How many times have you eaten here?
Joe Dowling: The real question is how many times I've eaten here this week.
MT: Are you the kind of person who orders the same thing every day?
JD: Oh yeah. I'm a creature of habit, but that's a family trait. If we do something twice in our family it's a tradition.
MT: You were just in Ireland directing The Dead.
JD: Yes.
Waiter: Good afternoon. Welcome. Can I offer anything to drink for anyone right away, a cup of coffee or a glass of wine or anything?
JD: Water is fine. I'm going to do the Cobb salad.
MT: I'll have the lobster roll. Has it always felt like home when you go back to Dublin?
JD: Yeah.
MT: Did that ever change?
JD: No, I was too old when I left—it was 17 years ago and I'm 64 now. So, do the math. I think if you leave somewhere when you're in your 20s, it's different than if you are settled and have family.
MT: You lost your mother—
JD: Five years ago.
MT: Your friends have gotten older.
JD: Everybody does. Even you will. When my mother was alive and Siobhan's mother was alive, we were there probably once every six weeks. So not much changed without us being aware of it. And we live in two places. There's no question about that.
MT: Do you have a home in New York, too? I know you're there a lot.
JD: Yeah. In New York I have a room. It's a studio apartment that we bought some years ago. It's on 57th and 6th.
MT: Is that agreeable? Being in so many places?
JD: It's very agreeable. I don't feel rootless in any sense. Anybody in the theater in a way is rootless. You work where the work is, and you develop relationships wherever you are. But home is Ireland, there's no two ways about that. There's Dublin and everything else.

David Beckham Is Tudor's Brand and #BORNTODARE Campaign Ambassador
The Swiss manufacture's scoop.
BY Editors | Jun 2, 2017 | Feature
"Born To Dare" is Tudor's new campaign that reflects its use by rugged, outdoorsy men on their exploits on land, ice, in the air and underwater. Tudor founder Hans Wilsdorf wanted to make watches for extreme conditions, and Tudor's latest lend themselves easily to those who would like to sport a daring lifestyle on their wrists. Tudor even has a campaign manifesto for its family of global ambassadors, of whom David Beckham is the latest member. Distilled, it's simplicity itself:
"We are devoted to the classic. But reject the status quo. We keep the best of the past, the best watchmaking practices, the best designs. And push the boundaries of what's new. Born for a purpose. Field-tested to the extreme. For those who are up for anything. For those who face their fears. For those who reinvent themselves every day, a Tudor is born to dare."
If to be daring is to plunge headfirst into the impossible, it also means launching yourself from a solid platform of classic values. It's simple and immutable, like Beckham says: "As an Englishman, I think you really appreciate a nice suit and a nice watch. They go very well together." A long-time admirer of watches, he came to know Tudor through its sibling brand, Rolex, of which he owns several. "I was attracted to Tudor by the attention to detail I could see in their watches. I then learned about [its] history of adventure, pioneer diving and daring expeditions. I was instantly hooked." If you want to know what all this looks like when put together as an ensemble, take a look at the photo. The Black Bay S&G, a vintage-inspired steel and gold diver's watch, as well as the Black Bay Chrono, a COSC-certified chronograph with column-wheel manufacture calibre, draw on Tudor's diving and motorsports heritage.
The proto-global player
As a child, Beckham's answer to the question of what he wanted to be in life was always "football player". He became one of the most successful players in the history of the modern game, just as the perfect storm of serious investors, marketing men and global media began to realise the commercial potential of the world's most popular sport.
Beckham was the proto-mediagenic football player, bursting onto the world stage after dating (and marrying) Posh Spice aka Victoria Adams and getting sent off against Argentina at the 1998 World Cup in Paris, where he had managed to kick out effetely at Diego Simeone despite being prostrate on the pitch. The Argentine (now performing miracles as Atletico manager) of course fell down with not a little melodrama and the no-nonsense Danish referee red-carded Beckham for it. He walked for an early shower, sweaty stylish locks hung in shame, and would rise like a phoenix and model branded underwear on the cover of Arena Homme less than two years later.
After being hit in the face with a boot kicked by erstwhile mentor and minder Alex Ferguson (a hairdryer malfunction, fans say), Beckham decided it was time to strike out on his own, away from the Manchester United brand.
He's since trotted his brand across the two major football markets (by value) and in the marketing capital of the world: England (Manchester United), Spain (Real Madrid) and LA Galaxy (Los Angeles).
So, three major clubs, 115 caps for the England team (59 as captain), six Premiership titles, two Major League Soccer cups, one La Liga championship and one UEFA Champion's League medal each. There are players with a far longer record of sporting success, but none have Beckham's brand recognition.
What is the secret sauce of his success and derring-do? A peerless work ethic and paradoxical lack of narcissism. Despite being a brand in his own right, he's never taken success for granted, working harder than many more-talented others given his position would ever do. The man takes his responsibilities seriously. Exempli gratia, see left.
Beckham is also long-time UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and malaria awareness campaigner. He dedicates time and energy to the health and the education of children in Africa, and his work for the UN focuses on the protection and the welfare of children worldwide.
David Beckham, Born to Dare? Football made him a stellar global brand success, but his remarkable equanimity and fearlessness in looking Providence squarely in the eye transcends the pitch. Well scooped, Tudor.

I have choices, i realize this moment.
My life often so simple, seems too complicated.
No therapist nor therapy has yet freed from
the reoccurring feeling, that life is too difficult for me.
Oh yes what epiphany too realize here now
that it is so difficult because i have choices
that's very bittersweet
that's irony
I know that maybe many people, do live on the edge.
I feel now that it is so easy to let oneself slip,
to think it is all going to be okay,
somehow, miraculously.
Wistful think is what that's called.
In one therapy i learned; realistic thinking.
Well the reality is, i am going down the hole.....
Please bear with me

I'm expect this question has already been asked, but I could not find it in my search through the archives... The spec for the getElementsByTagNameNS method of the Element interface strikes me as strange. Particularly the part, "in a preorder traversal of the Document tree starting from this node". I would have expected something more like the spec for getElementsByTagName, "in a preorder traversal of the Element tree". What is the intent of including Nodes from outside the Element's subtree in the returned NodeList? thanks, SethReceived on Thursday, 6 April 2000 20:27:52 UTC

Springing up from the potent East Dallas psych scene that birthed bands such as Jimmy Vaughan's Chessmen and younger brother Stevie Ray's The Cast Of Thousands—not to mention the Briks, the Novas, the Five Americans and so many more—Kenny and the Kasuals started out playing for tips under the name The Illusions Combo in 1964 and were quickly breaking attendance records at Dallas's premiere teen spot, the Studio Club.
From 1964 to 1967, Kenny and the Kasuals were the top teen band in North Texas. To earn the distinction of being #1 was no easy task in those days as the competition was fierce. The hot R&B band, The Nightcaps, were still rockin' Dallas and younger rock bands were also filling local clubs and dances.Jimmie Vaughan was leading The Chessmen while his younger brother Stevie Ray was just starting to be noticed in a band called The Cast of Thousands.
With competition from The Novas, The Briks, The Sensations, The Chaparrals, The Outcasts, The Five Americans and so many other talented groups in town, it meant that the choices when booking a band were huge. But the top choice was always Kenny and the Kasuals. They were the kings of the proms, frat parties and dances, drawing full houses and demanding top dollar.
"We would drive around in a 1941 Plymouth with our sign in the back that obstructed the drivers' vision so much that we ran into everything when we backed up," recalls Kenny. "Our bassist was actually playing the low strings of a regular guitar, and members came and went. It was a rough start, but we were getting better and better."
Kenny remembers: "We were the opening act for most of the big name bands that came to town - Sonny and Cher, The Buckinghams and The Beach Boys, just to name a few. Sonny and Cher even came to see us perform at The Studio Club. Our band caught on and our style of dressing caught on too, especially the black-and-white saddle oxfords. One store at Northpark Mall had a display of the shoes in the window with a sign that read 'Kenny's Kasuals'. By 1966 we were regulars on Ron Chapman's TV show "Sump'n Else" which aired every Friday all across North Texas."
They were too accomplished to be called a garage band in the usual sense of the term – and were very popular in their hometown in the mid-'60s, but never made any impact on the national level. It's ironic that much of their reputation rests on a live album of covers, Impact, that ranks among the most collectable LPs of the Sixties, as the group actually wrote a lot of their own material.
After several 45's they made a daring move when they decided to go all the way and issue an independently produced album, Impact, which would be recorded live at the Studio Club. Fellow Dallas favorites the Nightcaps had successfully done it with their Wine, Wine, Wine LP so why not the Kasuals? The album was an immediate success.
Like the Wailers' Live At The Castle, "Impact" has been cited by Rolling Stone as one of the most collectible American albums ever, and original copies still sell for over $400. The LP was reissued on vinyl in the seventies and is now available on CD. Impact is both a high water mark for the band that produced it—perfectly capturing, as it does, their high energy mixture of punked-up R&B delivered with British Invasion attitude and Lone Star musical chops—but is also the ultimate musical snap shot of a specific time and place.
As the band's success and local legend grew, they realized that with a little luck they had what it took to break through on the national recording scene. After a couple of additional single record releases, in 1966 they hit on the song that would be picked up for national release. It was called "Journey To Tyme" and has been labeled as the very first "psychedelic style" recording. Co-written by Kenny Daniel and new lead guitarist Jerry Smith, the song is a wild, uptempo screamer inspired by a town in England named "Tyme".
Dallas' number one radio personality at the time was Jimmy Rabbit and he sensed that the band had a hit on their hands. Local airplay and positive sales caught the attention of the successful national record label United Artists who negotiated with Mark Lee for the American rights.The song received good radio station play around the country, making the top ten in its hometown and reaching number one in Buffalo and Pittsburgh.
Kenny has stated that the band's unwillingness to sign exclusively with the United Artists label kept the song from breaking into the national hit charts. Nevertheless, the song and the band were doing very well and it seemed like a good time for going "big time" and that meant a move to New York.
"In New York, we played The Rolling Stone Club after The Young Rascals and stayed in a hotel in Greenwich Village," Kenny remembers. "The New York bands we saw were terrific - Jimi Hendrix at the Nite Owl, The Seeds and The Lovin' Spoonful. We were asked to open for The Beatles at Shea Stadium. It was a great adventure."After returning from a successful month in the Big Apple, Kenny and the Kasuals went back to their lucrative frat-party and nightclub circuit, becoming the most popular live band in Texas. They were still playing their hot mix of The Byrds, Stones, Zombies, Yardbirds, Animals and U.S. R & B songs, and now were mixing in their original recorded songs as well.
But by late 1967 and early 1968, during the Vietnam buildup, the draft was cutting into band line-ups around the country. Kenny and the Kasuals were not an exception. With two members facing armed forces duty, the band and Mark Lee decided to go out with a bang. In early 1968 Mark put together one of the first music festivals, calling it The Flower Fair. The several stages were packed with local and national talent for the multi-day fest.
In addition to the farewell performance of Kenny and the Kasuals, attendees got the chance to see such stars and soon-to-be-stars as The Doors, The Box Tops, Keith, The Association, The Turtles, Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels and Jimmy Reed at the festival. The best of the local bands rounded out the roster of talent.
In April of 1968, the day after The Flower Fair ended, Kenny Daniel left for boot camp and soon after lead guitarist Jerry Smith joined the Air Force. Kenny and The Kasuals were suddenly history. At least for a while.Record collectors rediscovered the "Impact" album in the early seventies, and eventually all of Kenny and The Kasuals recordings were re-released. Along with newly recorded albums, the band has several LPs in issue, two available in CD format. Among the album titles: "Nothin' Better To Do", "Things Getting Better" (both available on CD from the Eva Label in Paris, France), "Teen Dreams", "Garage Kings", and of course "Impact" also available on CD.
Kenny and the Kasuals still perform, regularly featuring three of the original members (and on certain fun occasions, the entire original band). Two other top-quality musicians round out the current line-up. The music they play is still a high-energy experience.

Here is why this book is very important:
New Zealand bands have this weird perception of the outside world. Because it's a bigger place, somehow people tend to think they're underequipped to tackle it. Maybe it's because we're isolated with a self-functioning industry that we believe taking our music somewhere else is a huge undertaking. Every time we hear of a band 'taking it overseas', it's like, 'woooooooah man, the world is like, huuuuuge, maaaaaan' – we really care about it, but the rest of the world doesn't. Because: for them, it's just step one. So why should they care that we have a self-sustaining music machine boxed in by thousands of kilometres of sea and a cultural curtain dividing us from the rest of the world? As a matter of fact, we aren't owed shit by the rest of the world. So when NZ bands, thinking they're 'ready', tackle the world with big visions in mind, they think way too much about it.
Yes, it costs money, but it should be viewed more as a holiday where you make some money back. And here, descending from the clouds, is your guidebook. This is the deus ex machina of local music. This is convenient! Get the fuck out here, dudes!
If the rest of the world had not the pedestal we place it upon, more bands would do it without needing the sense of security the local scene provides. It's a careerist move – the way news gets back to us, it sounds like local bands playing overseas are a step away from worldwide recognition – this is bullshit. And bullshit conceptions are the kind of thing this this book will hopefully destroy. With the inspiration this book provides, bands from New Zealand will begin approaching the rest of the world without the big-mindedness that trips them up. That's what makes a title like 'D.I.Y. Touring the World' so powerful a statement. It's a thing you can ACTUALLY do by yourself.
I wouldn't say Blink's message is so directly philosophical – the book is more a handy selection of tips so people don't get fucked over in another country – but the effect is profound: finally, someone is dethroning the usual paths taken by naïve bands: useless 'media events' such as SXSW and CMJ, where thousands of eager bands pay their way into the world's largest robotics conference where thousands dress up like music fans and self-interestedly babble the word 'next big thing', only occasionally using it to describe a band.
People throw their money away on needless avenues because they have the wrong idea – as Blink points out, you don't need to resort to these media events and soulless club-via-manager bookings, but for those that want to, the information's there. He wisely uses a part of his last chapter to highlight the significance of the internet age – and everyone who is wisely tuned into this won't have a need for dying practices of the deathbed industry that calls itself 'music', 'New Zealand', or some hideous combination of both. This book and the internet are your hammer and sickle – rather than playing to a bunch of robots who couldn't care more about your band's looks and sound than its meaningfulness or cultural significance, you can Book Your Own Fucking Life.
This is important because you are aiding a cause stronger than any limpy media conference or passing trend ever could – you're bringing power to those who do it themselves and don't need a manager to do it. You're providing solidarity to the bands who aren't using the game to get ahead. The more bands that succeed this way, the more people will pay attention to them – and so long as they're continuing to do it all themselves, their interests will have no need for distraction. This will gain credit and soon enough the power will be where it matters, and bland music will die along with the careerist routes it harbours.
I care about this stuff because I want the great stuff from NZ – the bands I go and see on Thursday nights at Whammy, the bands Blink books for Camp A Low Hum each year and the bands we included on this year's Awesome Feeling comp – to receive the attention they deserve from the rest of the world. Maybe it's about self-validation or something, so we can be all like "fuck yeah! We told you so!" and then skateboard off a ramp into the ocean. After a couple of adventures to break the comfort zone and new life experiences, these bands will come back more exceptional than ever. The newspapers will boringly blare out "KIWI BAND DOES THINGS", but the ecstasy of international recognition will drown out the sirens of local mediocrity.
You don't need Making Tracks or a VNZMA nomination to be considered 'good enough' – who the hell is anyone else with a university degree in business to tell you what your music is worth? NZ is not the first hill you have to climb – you can do it at any stage in your life as a musician. Entrapped by the same tired plot the music industry has scripted for the past 60 years, too many good bands in this country have been stranded only by their lack of ambition.
No-one can be blamed for this state of mind either. Considering our place in the world, we're still a little mapless and a lot of things are foreign to us, making us naive. Now that the internet has come along, things are both handy and incredibly overwhelming at the same time – but resources like this one has given us a push in the right direction. Few have tackled it with this level of perception before, proving to us that the world is not a scary place after all. Hopefully it'll strike a chord in a few – though the audience is small, those targeted by the book will be indebted to it if they pick up a copy. Even still, as Blink points out on the back cover, there are some things the rest can get out of it. Since there's a pay-as-you-like digital copy on its way, too, there's no reason people shouldn't give it a go.
Blink's book couldn't have come at a more crucial point for local music, where young and important bands are allowed exposure through access to infinite platforms of self-distribution – the world is more global than ever so we're a little less trapped than before. There are more good bands than ever showing up, and no longer do they need to get burnt out by playing this country's shitty game. It's a very, very good thing that we finally have something in print saying "just fucking do it".
So it comes down to two options:
A) Take the route of fighting for your position in the ranks of careerists in a self-indulgent industry excusing itself as an example of national identity rather than an indiscriminate outlet of self-expression; facing yourself with a best-case-scenario of government-endorsed corporate-sponsored insularity reflected better by funding decisions than a real connection with the people who your managers claim actually exist – right before burning yourself out to the point where your laurels are enough to rest on and the 'fans' across the world have become too much to fight for, or:
B) You could enjoy a fulfilling life experience, challenging yourself and taking a chance on something not a lot of people have in them to even try.
To celebrate the release of his latest book, Blink has also organised a series of book release shows that start tonight. You can find out more details over at Under The Radar.

Minecraft's minimum system requirements are modest compared to many newer games as of 2015, requiring a Pentium D or equivalent processor, two gigabytes of system RAM and an integrated or discrete video card. Minecraft also requires that Java 6 Release 45 or newer is installed on the computer.
Although Minecraft runs on machines that meet the minimum requirements, a more powerful system is recommended for an optimum experience. An Intel Core i3 or AMD Athlon II processor and four gigabytes of RAM are recommended, along with a more powerful discrete graphics card. Cards in the Nvidia GeForce 200 series or AMD Radeon HD 5000 series are recommended, as are any newer cards in those families.
Minecraft is dependent on the Java programming language and runtime environment to function. Java 7 and newer versions have introduced features that improve the experience of playing Minecraft and are highly recommended. Some players have reported difficulties with Minecraft when using 32-bit versions of Java with a 64-bit operating system, so matching the 32-bit or 64-bit version of Java with the equivalent operating system is also recommended.
Minecraft requires at least 200 megabytes of free hard drive space and an Internet connection for downloading files and accessing game servers. One gigabyte of free space is recommended for the best performance.

Well this is a test, really.
Well this is a test, really.
We took a presentation skills workshop at Wistia last week (Thanks employer for being awesome).
Here are some of my notes on the workshop and the experience in case you're thinking of offering one, want to practice your presentation skills, or you think that simple frameworks that you can remember are great and want one for presentation skills.
Here's the framework!
Good presenting has a what and a how.
1) What is the organization of the content.
You should have a main point, structured supporting points plus examples, and closing.
So this is pretty similar to high school English 101, which is a good thing. KISS.
If you follow this, you'll make it easy for you and your audience to stay on track, more likely for your message to be understood, and folks will be able to take something clear away from the presentation.
Most people are familiar with this, and the workshop was really good practice.
2) How is the delivery.
Equal parts credibility, enthusiasm, likability, and relevance to audience.
Credibility. You know what you're talking about and are conveying lots of real content, facts, information.
Likable. You are likable? What is this haha. I guess this is supposed to be self-evident.
Enthusiasm. You're excited and animated to be there. Infectious!!!
Relevance. You're directing things for and towards the audience. Basically, refer to "you" the audience as much as possible.
That's it! We discussed these ideas more and some of the boundaries to the concepts. I found it pretty practical and memorable
3) Feedback I got on my presentation was the most valuable part of the workshop. We used the how and what frameworks to organize our feedback. So I was…
So, to sum up… have real content, be likable, excited, and seek feedback on how you can improve. Applies to a lot in life really, and I was grateful for the chance to practice these skills in such a useful way.
If you have a chance to attend a workshop like this or thinking taking an opportunity to present, I'd definitely encourage you to do so.
Especially if you're someone like me that public speaking is a bit nerve-wracking for. With the right attitude it is a learning experience and does not need to be that scary.

According to Marvin Taylor, Fales Librarian, Erich Maria Remarque is in many ways the quintessential twentieth-century man. "Caught between the intense nineteenth-century nationalism of his youth and the dissolution and despair brought on by World War I, Remarque embodies the psychological and essential dilemmas of his generation," Mr. Taylor said. "Though Remarque is remembered in the United States primarily as the author of All Quiet on the Western Front, his life and work intersects nearly every important moment of this century." His literary career placed him at the center of the publishing world for decades and led him into the world of cinema. His numerous lovers included Marlene Dietrich and Natasha Paley Wilson; his friends included Ingrid Bergman and Greta Garbo; and he married actress Paulette Goddard.
The Erich Maria Remarque and Paulette Goddard Papers and Library were given to NYU by Ms. Goddard in 1990. The papers contain more than 62,000 pages of diaries, manuscripts, letters, photographs, documents and personal effects; and the library comprises ore than 3,000 volumes, including copies of all Remarque's books and an extensive collection of translations.
(From the Remarque Centennial celebrations Press-Release, 1998)

A Pinterest Don't
I have tried many many recipes and projects that I found on Pinterest and last week
I had my very first Pinterset failure.
There is a pin floating around out there that claims to be a Salsa just like Chili's.
Don't fall for it, don't waste your hard earned cash on the ingredients, you will be disappointed.
It tastes nothing like Chili's.
It was not even a really good salsa
I followed the recipe to a T.
I had high hopes, I wanted to to work out.
I really did.
Chili's salsa is my favorite and I would love have Chili's "like" salsa at home....anytime....all the time.
I think one issues was the taste of the canned tomatoes, canned tomatoes are fine after cooking but, meh not so good just out of the can.
So .......
If you want Chili's salsa go to Chili's and that's that.
This pin can not fail, how cute is that rug ??
Little stencil, little paint.
Cute rug.
You can get more info. here.
And you can see my whole Let's Make That board on Pinterest HERE.
There are lots of fun crafty projects there.
I was thinking maybe flowers would be sweet too.
This is bound to be a Pinterest Do.
Have a good weekend....ok.

Harassment Intimidation and Bullying (HIB)
Clinton Township School District
Policy # 5512 Harassment Intimidation and Bullying
The Board of Education prohibits acts of harassment, intimidation, or bullying of a pupil. A safe and civil environment in school is necessary for pupils to learn and achieve high academic standards. Harassment, intimidation, or bullying, like other disruptive or violent behaviors, is conduct that disrupts both a pupil's ability to learn and a school's ability to educate its pupils in a safe and disciplined environment. Since pupils learn by example, school administrators, faculty, staff and volunteers should be commended for demonstrating appropriate behavior, treating others with civility and respect, and refusing to tolerate harassment, intimidation, or bullying.

Temognatha duponti - Large Jewel Beetle 4
This is another of the large Jewel Beetles seen at a mass sighting near Lake Tay during February 2013, of which further details are available at http://esperancewildlife.blogspot.com.au/2013/05/temognatha-chevrolati-large-jewel.html and http://esperancewildlife.blogspot.com.au/2013/05/temognatha-heros-large-jewel-beetles.html. This specific species was occasionally found in company with different species, but also encountered in small groups on their own.
The most interesting aspect of Temognatha duponti was their temperament, which was aggressive and bombastic, and if there ever was a barrel chested beetle that won't take crap from anyone, it would be this one. This attitude was reinforced by a solid bite to fingers when they got in the way whilst trying to restrain them, hence my side on grip.
Temognatha duponti was also one of the larger beetles (5-6 cm or a little over 2" in length) and certainly the most robust that complimented their head down, bulldozing activity. Some beetles had a couple of variable length yellow/orange stripes on each hardened forewing (elytron), although most did not, however all had a black head segment (pronotum) and a dark maroon body (elytra).
This species is mainly recorded from mallee environments to the south of Southern Cross (340 km or 210 miles ENE of Perth), but is also known from the Yorke Peninsula in SA. It is therefore presumed to occur in mallee regions between these sites, although being a poorly collected area has apparently not as yet been officially recorded.
The 85 largely Australian species in the Temognatha genus, belong to Buprestidae the much larger worldwide Jewel Beetle family.
My thanks to Kim Pullen of the Australian National Insect Collection, CSIRO Ecosystem Sciences who kindly confirmed the identity this species.

Personal loans can come in extremely handy if you have to pay bills such as medical, student or other expenses you had not previously thought you may have had to sustain. These personal loans have the advantage that there is no restriction on how you decide to spend the money received from the personal loan, which cannot be said for home or car loans.
It is true that the interest rates in personal homes are higher than home equity loans but the advantage of these is that anyone can have access to a personal credit loan, including those who do not have a property to act as a guarantee.
Personal credit loans can be found in many financing establishments, such as banks or credit unions and more so if you are already a client. If your banking history is good then you will of course find it easier to obtain a personal credit loan as you are a premium client, and you may also be able to obtain a lower interest rate compared the usual interest rates proposed.
However, if you cannot get a personal loan from your bank then you should try finding other local financial institutions that offer personal loans and start comparing the interest rates as well as other costs.
If you wish to find a personal credit loan fast without wasting time looking around, the best way to go about your research is via the internet. There are plenty of online loaning companies that offer personal loans and offer good interests for new customers. You will find hundreds of possibilities online and you will be able to compare these offers and choose just the right one for you. However, although it is easier to search and compare online, there are also some scams out there. So, beware when you contact a loaning company and make sure they are indeed reliable.
Family and friends are of course a good source for giving advice as to which company you should seek personal loans from. They may be able to give you tips about particular banks or financial companies or even if the one you had your eyes on is not reliable. Try and get as many different opinions as you can from people who have experience in personal credit loans or loaning companies in general.
There is a loan guide you can get information from on the Internet and is called the ABC Loan Guide. This reference guide will help you find the lowest rates for your personal loan and other important information you may need about this kind of loan.
Once you have compared some reliable loaning companies you can then check out their different interest rates and terms as well as extra expenses they may charge, that are not evident when you first visit the sites. Make sure you carefully look into all the terms and conditions before signing up with a loaning company.
