Chicago drummer/ composer/ lyricist Jon Deitemyer debuts as leader with Tall Tales featuring Matt Ulery, Justefan, Rob Clearfield & Leslie Buekelman!
In-demand sideman/drummer Jon Deitemyer propels into his own scene with this collection of original music and no one is left disappointed
How does someone that supports the introspective lyricism of Patricia Barber, the epic whimsy of Matt Ulery, and the modern virtuosity of Zach Brock funnel his musical life into one coherent original album? Tall Tales is the unique manifestation of drummer/composer Jon Deitemyer's genre wanderlust, and it represents a compact of sorts; an attempt to merge the restless creativity of instrumental jazz with the clarity and sincerity of lyrical song-writing. "I have the good fortune to interpret other people's music so often as a sideman," says Deitemyer, "and the time came for me to prioritize those disparate experiences into something personal; something akin to spinning a yarn for friends."
He invited his long-running musical collaborators to create the sympathetic and creative force that drives Tall Tales in the prolific bassist Matt Ulery and the imaginative pianist Rob Clearfield. The trio fuels Matt Ulery's Loom, Grazyna Auguscik's band, and Russ Johnson's quartet, and plays with the uncanny familiarity that emerges only after years of mutual aspiration. Jon continues, "Matt, Rob, and I began playing together about a decade ago, and the appeal for me was immediate. Rob plays with such beautiful vulnerability; he's never afraid to bare his soul for the sake of the music. And in short, Matt is my musical brother. There is a level of wordless trust between us that I find rare in life, let alone music."
Tall Tales required more than the aforementioned trio to fulfill its promise, and Leslie Beukelman was the immediate choice as the album's vocalist. Leslie has long been respected for her gorgeous voice and sublime delivery, whether in Miss Remember, the Oh Yeahs, or her own project Brite Lite. But on Tall Tales she manages to effortlessly shift between roles: from the patient sensitivity of "Midnight Guide" to the wordless post-bop melodies of "Stretch," Leslie fully embraces each musical offering.
Rounding out the ensemble is the inimitable Justin Thomas, who injects every composition with his singular brand of sly virtuosity. Justin is fast becoming known to the larger jazz community through his work with Marquis Hill, Dana Hall, and Dee Alexander. "I have admired Justin's playing for so long," remarks Deitemyer. "As a drummer I am always drawn to musicians with a highly-developed rhythmic concept, and Justin is the quintessential example of just that. He has a ferocity to his improvising that raises up the band around him."
The music on Tall Tales covers a wide swath of emotional territory. Songs such as "Deep Breath" and "Gratitude" blend the narrative qualities of a pop song with energetic improvisation. Justin brings a bit of odd-metered funkiness to "Fifteen", while Rob imbues "A Little South" with his gospel-tinged touch. "I wanted to write and create an album that felt transparent," Deitemyer continues, "so often instrumental jazz is rewarding but in a sort of vague way, and I sought to translate the joy I feel playing music into a more literal message for the listener."
"...what a GREAT CD Jon Deitemyer's 'Tall Tales' is! Every track has something to offer... superb… gifted drummer/band leader...doing a really wonderful job... certainly captured my attention... I started listening to one song and before I knew it the whole album was over... it's great to get lost in music like that.. I certainly can't wait to hear what this young man will do next..." - Michael Ambrosino (The Fringe, SoulandJazz.com)
"Anyone who has admired the music of vocalists Patricia Barber and Grazyna Auguscik, bassist-bandleader Matt Ulery and many other major Chicago figures likely has heard Deitemyer at the drums. He provides remarkably flexible, empathetic accompaniment in all these settings, his playing generally light, lithe and keenly responsive to the music around him." - Howard Reich, Chicago Tribune
"One must listen to how gracefully all the elements come together on 'Over Under Other' and take into account the various ways that Deitemyer influences the pace and intensity of the music." - Richard Kamins
"Jon Deitemyer is the drummer everyone wants right now." - Patricia Barber
"Jon Deitemyer has earned a reputation as a must-hear drummer and doesn't disappoint" - Tim Gault, Chicago Jazz.com
"Deitemyer exhibits his elegant and reserved touch with the quiet whispers of the brushes... anchoring the group's orchestral sounds." - Hrayr Attarian, ChicagoJazz.com

Jagex, the UK's largest independent games developer and publisher, today announced the launch of a brand new server for their real time strategy game set in Chinese mythology lore, War of Legends. As the Praying Mantis is revered for its calculated movements and keen hunting skills – necessary traits of a ruling dynasty – this new server will bear that name, launching to support the thousands of new players joining the battle every day.
To celebrate the game's full launch of the new Praying Mantis server, the War of Legends community team has planned a Triple Top Up Weekend! From Friday 27th March to Monday 30th March, any player who purchases War of Legend's in-game currency will receive 3 times the amount for this weekend.
"The launch of a new server is always exciting for us," said Daniel Green, War of Legends Associate Producer: "It gives us a chance to offer a new game world for our new players to come and experience War of Legends on a clean slate. The debut of the Praying Mantis server a great opportunity for players to come together, forge new alliances and battle other players in a race for power."
War of Legends is a flash-based RTS game based on ancient Chinese mythology, which immerses players in a world where they can build vast empires, appoint legendary leaders and form multi-player alliances to reach eternal glory. This rich back-story is a drastic contrast to traditional RTS games that typically have very fragmented or non-existent storylines. The development quality far exceeds that of similar titles currently in the market, and parallels Jagex's high standard for game excellence, depth of content, graphics and community support.
War of Legends is available to play for free by visiting their website.

Appleton lead's Bake's entry to match racing season championship
MIAMI (9 December 2010) – Chris Bake's Team Aqua, led by New Zealand skipper Cameron Appleton, today won the match racing portion of the ORACLE RC 44 Cup Miami.
The close victory over Torbjorn Tornqvist's Artemis Racing, led by American skipper Terry Hutchinson, also gave Team Aqua the season championship under the match racing format.
« It's a great testament to the team and the work Cam has done, » said Bake, who's been in the class since its inception. « He's been consistent all year, especially on the match racing side. It makes me proud to see them win today. »
Hutchinson and Artemis won the start of the race, but Appleton was able to get to the right side of the racecourse and then used the advantage of starboard tack to gain control of the match near the first mark.
Team Aqua then fended off repeated challenges from Artemis to grab the double championship.
« Terry did a nice job in the pre-start and won comfortably, but we broke free and took advantage of a right shift the guys saw, and that was the difference, » said Appleton.
« Winning the match racing championship is a big highlight of the year. We feel we sailed well all year and the guys on board have done a fantastic job. It's a strong crew to sail with, » Appleton said.
Hutchinson, known for his succinctness, summed the final up in one sentence: « We won the start, let him get to the right, and that was that. »
With the finish Artemis moved into second place in the match racing season championship, leap-frogging BMW ORACLE Racing, which placed sixth today and fell from a tie for first to third overall.
« We're out there trying to do the best we can each race and whatever happens happens, » said headsail trimmer Ross Halcrow. « It was unfortunate we made a couple of unforced errors at the start of the round robin and that's put us where we are. »
In other racing today Vincenzo Onorato's Mascalzone Latino finished third with a victory over Synergy Russian Sailing Team, which placed fourth. Team Sea Dubai placed fifth by beating BMW ORACLE Racing in a close match.
RC 44 World Champion James Spithill guided the yacht 17 to a win over No Way Back to place seventh and relegate No Way Back to eighth.
Katusha beat Ceeref in the race for ninth and 10th, class newcomer Ironbound finished 11th with a win over Peninsula Petroleum, and Islas Canarias Puerto Calero returned from a broken mast on the first day to defeat AEZ RC 44 Sailing Team to place 13th.
Although Bake watched his crew win the title from off the boat, he'll be at the helm for the upcoming fleet racing and finds great pleasure in setting aside his day-to-day worries for a brief time.
« For me, with limited time away from work and great passion for sailing, I can't think of a better format to come out and test my skills, » said Bake, who's been in the class since Day 1. « I have a challenging time on the water and a sociable and enjoyable time off it. We all have a lot on, but when I step on the boat I park my day-to-day things and focus on the boat and getting into gear, and that feels great. There's nothing quite like it. It's got me hooked. »

Although the stock has already outperformed the S&P 500 by more than 137% since I added the pick to my Motley Fool CAPS portfolio back in 2006, IAMBULLISH on IAMGOLD
IAMGOLD issued an update this week, warning that second-quarter production will come in below prior guidance and at higher-than-anticipated costs. Because markets are inherently short-sighted, I view any weakness in the shares resulting from this momentary hiccup as an attractive opportunity to climb aboard this proven outperformer of the gold patch.
Despite the setback, IAMGOLD continues to expect 2011 production of 1.1 million to 1.2 million ounces of gold, not to mention up to 5 million kilograms of niobium. Confident in its cash flow outlook even amid an aggressive capital spending initiative, IAMGOLD this week announced a 150% increase in its annual dividend to $0.20 per share. The resulting 1% annualized yield is actually better than that of rival Goldcorp
IAMGOLD is feeling some upward pressure on costs from higher fuel, labor, and other inputs, but this is a reflection of an industrywide condition that we are likely to see in subsequent results from midtier peers such as Eldorado Gold
Looking back to IAMGOLD, we find the company flush with cash from its recent sale of minority-interest assets to Gold Fields
Although the gold patch offers myriad growth vehicles that I consider capable of delivering outstanding shareholder returns for years to come, IAMGOLD has earned a stable spot in my own portfolio by consistently executing on well-devised avenues for strategic growth. I see more of the same going forward and encourage Fools to swoop in for a close inspection.
- Add IAMGOLD to My Watchlist.
- Add Eldorado Gold to My Watchlist.
- Add Yamana Gold to My Watchlist.
- Add Taseko Mines to My Watchlist.
- Add Goldcorp to My Watchlist.
Fool contributor Christopher Barker can be found blogging actively and acting Foolishly within the CAPS community under the username TMFSinchiruna. He tweets. He owns shares of Eldorado Gold, Goldcorp, IAMGOLD, Taseko Mines, and Yamana Gold. We Fools may not all hold the same opinions, but we all believe that considering a diverse range of insights makes us better investors. The Motley Fool has a disclosure policy.

A large number of readers have written to Your Wheels recently to express concern about the upcoming reduction in the lead content of gasoline, which takes effect nationwide in July.
Many individuals who own older cars, which were designed to run on leaded gasoline, are concerned that the reduction in lead ordered by the government may damage the engines or degrade the performance of their cars.
Although there is no universal agreement about the effect of the reductions, especially on engine life, most experts believe that few problems will arise. But only time will tell whether the reductions will be cost-free.
Government Mandate
The government has mandated that gasoline refiners on July 1, 1985, reduce the lead content of gasoline from the current maximum of 1.1 grams per gallon to 0.5 grams per gallon. A second reduction occurs on Jan. 1, 1986, when the maximum allowable lead content goes to 0.1 grams per gallon.

The first song is always the hardest

I thought I'd try the February Album Writing Month challenge this year for the first time in a while. One week in, and I've got one song done and (only) thirteen to go. The first song is called "like lions breathing fire"; you may read the liner notes or just listen to the mp3.

The employed professional needs to cut to the chase and do their "homework" on evenings and weekends to prepare to launch an aggressive job search. If you are not committed to making a change - and willing to get outside your comfort zone - it is not wise to commence a search. The search will only end up in frustration and negativism.
When you have made the commitment to yourself to launch the search, the following methodology is suggested:
2. Research a profile of targeted companies based on company size, SIC code, geographic location, and industry trends.
3. Identify the correct decision maker to contract.
4. Begin initial target research.
5. Prepare and send appropriate marketing letters.
6. Do not use your office telephone on any of your marketing materials!!
7. Start networking.
8. Respond to appropriate newspaper advertisements.
9. Be careful about responding to blind box ads - this could be your job you are responding to . .
10. Selectively consider using appropriate employment/search agencies.
11. Set up interviews.
12. Follow-up after interviews.
13. Evaluate, hopefully, two to three offers.
14. Resign. Do not consider a company "buy-back." A company "buy-back," if offered, mostly likely your supervisor will recruit for your position and terminate you at a later date.

A sprained ankle occurs when the ligaments attached to the ankle joint have been overstretched. Ankle sprains occur when playing sports or just by doing everyday activities. Stepping the wrong way on uneven surfaces, or stepping at an awkward angle that twists or rolls the foot can lead to an ankle sprain. Sprains may bring on a range of pain from mild to severe. Treatment range from RICE: rest, ice, compression, elevation for ankle sprains. To the use of Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs that can alleviate pain and swelling. Severe sprains may require a good brace or cast from a Doctor, Physiotherapist, or Bowen therapist to provide some relief.
Now, with the arrival of Bowen Therapy, there is another bowstring to help Sprained Ankle Pain. From the moment of diagnosis, Bowen Therapy's Ankle procedure begins reducing pain and swelling of the sprained ankle region. Bowen Therapy is a set system of small moves, the technique is a gentle, fast and effective way to treat muscle and connective tissue disorders. The Bowen Therapy client can, within weeks, enjoy activity, if not sport, without pain. In some Bowen Therapy clients, Sprain ankle pain symptoms have been known to cease altogether in six weeks instead of months by conventional means.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Early next year, the floodgates will open to cities and companies who want their own version of "dot com." Philly and families can get in on the action, too — for a price.
Instead of going to phila.gov, you could — someday — go to .phila.
"This has been called the biggest change to the Internet since the introduction of .com back in 1985."
Ben Crawford, who heads the Internet registrar CentralNic, says this past summer, ICANN, the international regulator of .com, .org, and the like, decided to allow more of those top-level domains for brands and places (like .coke and .nike, or .nyc and .berlin). Think something like .cars for an auto dealer who wants to corner the generic TLD market.
Mayor Nutter's office says the city is reviewing the issue and will make a decision shortly. They'll have to — the application window closes in April.
And it's not cheap — there's a $185,000 application cost and then a $25,000 fee every year after that.
Crawford's company — dotfamilyname.com — also can register your "dot name."
"Families who see themselves and who have the means to position themselves in that same way that a top brand or a global city would position themselves on the Internet would absolutely take advantage of this."
If they have deep pockets — he's charging a half-million dollars and a yearly maintenance fee around $100,000.

Smoke all through the house, and that strong burnt toast smell.
Anyone know how I can get it out faster? I have windows and doors open, and a fan going, but there is no breeze outside today so it's not helping much.
Anything that will absorb it maybe (the smell)?
|Febreeze works great
|Put white vinegar in bowls all around the house. That will pull the smell out. Works great on cigarette smoke too.
|I did this with popcorn a few weeks ago . . .
Vinegar is a good suggestion, as is a cut onion open to the air - it is supposed to soak up the smell (or leave it's own . . .)
Lots of air on . . .
|vanilla extract (the real stuff) works wonders - just a few drops on
a few cotton balls. If the actual smoke has gotten into carpet or
fabric it will take a while to air out and short of cleaning those or
wiping surfaces down I would try vanilla first. But that's me... (It
also helps reduce the smell of paint (water based) when added to the paint can before painting.)
|Thanks, some great suggestions.
Febreeze makes me sneeze, so I think I'll try vinegar, and then maybe vanilla on cotton balls to get rid of the vinegar smell LOL
|How about OUST? The white top is a "non" fragrance.
|I hope the vinegar worked. It is great because unlike something you spray in the air it won't effect people with allergies and sensitivities. My parents used to have a huge Christmas Party every year and at the end of the night my mom would put bowls of white vinegar all around the house. By morning the cigarette smoke smell was completely gone.
|I did use the vinegar, and it worked wonders!
I put some vanilla on a cotton ball too, but I'm not crazy about vanilla, so I decided to go buy some scented candles as well.
|That's a great tip, Amanda. I'll have to remember that one. I never thought of using vinegar to remove odors in the air. I use it to clean the washing machine and coffee maker all the time. Makes perfect sense!

I decided to do a little mail art at the same time with this challenge in mind. When I make envelopes like this they are not intended to go through the mail. I usually fill them with projects intended for Stampington. Sometimes they not only publish the contents but also the envelope!
Here is a brief tutorial:
I chose a 10" by 13" Kraft colored envelope to decorate. I applied a thin layer of gesso across the bottom and allowed it to dry. When the gesso was dry I began stamping my images with StazOn Ink in Tuxedo Black. Next using a Micron pen 08 I started writing out the address. The circles were made from an old lid dipped in the black ink.
I stamped the flying pigs again on a separate piece of cardstock, cut them out, colored them and then attached them with Parisienne Brads made by Recollections. My pigs are elevated with pop dots, this way I didn't have to attempt to cut out the tails, I love that little bit of detail on them.
Add some fake postage.
I used a diamond stencil and some Creative Medium Paste in pink to finish the envelope.
Supply List
Stampotique Stamps: Flying Pig, When Pigs Fly phrase, Hanging Hearts
Parisienne Brads made by Recollections
Ink: StazOn Black Tuxedo ink
Memento Markers: Angel Pink, Summer Sky
Iridescent Creative Medium Paste: Pink
PanPastel: Copper
Stencil: Artistcellar Diamond
Miscellaneous: Micron 08 black pen, Kraft colored envelope, Gesso, old recycled postage marks, cardstock, pop dots and adhesive
Have some fun with attachers and share one with us on this week's Designer's Challenge, here is the link.
Thanks for stopping by! Hugs ~ Renee

Still, Silverstein can seem almost willfully naïve about how sensitive people can be. We're in a boardroom at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, Silverstein's architects, where he's agreed to take me through a sample pitch for 7 World Trade Center, punctuated freely with the words massive and spectacular. Red laser pointer in hand, Silverstein motions at a slide depicting a woman in the building's lobby, heading toward an unusually high-tech elevatoranother fabulous amenity. Visitors and workers, Silverstein says, will have a computer chip granting them access to the upper floors.
The door closes behind her, and she doesn't have to press a button, he tells me. There are no buttons to press! It's a buttonless elevator system, right? It's all automatic! Now! If she wants to visit a girlfriend on another floor, she can't do that; she's in deep trouble, right? There are no buttons in the elevator! So what she has to do . . .
She has to reason with the elevator? I ask.
He smiles impatiently. No, she can't even reason. But! There's a special button pad in the lobby in each elevator bank. There's a button pad on each of the floors as well. But once you're on the elevator, forget it! There will be no buttons!
There's a tightness in my chest.
May I ask a safety question?
Sure! he says.
If you're trapped in the elevator, do you have any control at all?
Oh, absolutely, he says. You have the same controls you have today. It's no different.
But you have no button pad.
You don't need it, Silverstein says, exasperated. People will be helpingcommunicating with youfrom outside. The result is, you get about a 10 percent increase in elevator efficiency. It's truly extraordinary! New Yorkers are always in such a goddamn rush, this'll be fantastic!
He throws up his hands, triumphant.
Buttons are a thing of the past!
On the morning of September 11, 2001, Silverstein was in his Park Avenue apartment, squabbling with his wife, Klara, about how he had to get to work on the 88th floor of the north tower, where he was moving his company's offices.
Klara gave him an icy stare. Silverstein had a dermatologist's appointmentafter a lifetime of boating, he has a history of facial carcinomasand there was no way he was missing the appointment. So you'll be there early tomorrow, she told him.
Before he left, the phone rang. It was the captain of the Silversteins' 130-foot yacht, which was docked at the piers in Chelsea with a clear view of downtown.
Turn on your TV, the captain said.
As surreal as it was for most of us to witness, one after the other, the explosion and collapse of the tallest buildings in New York, it was stranger still for the man who had just bought them. First he thought of his children. Silverstein's son, Roger, was in the parking garage of the original 7 World Trade when the first plane hit, and his daughter Lisa was turned away by police farther uptown; they both work for their father. Others in Silverstein's employ weren't as fortunate. We lost four people, he says, and they had six kids among them. Lisa Silverstein saw some of the light in her father's eyes dim after that day. There was something that was sucked out of hima spontaneity and almost a kidlike spirit, she says. Time and efficiency became the most important thing in his life. He started to say, I have no time for green bananas anymore.'
Another developer might have used the enormity of the moment to get the property seized by the stateto cut loose control of the site and the financial risk that came with it. Silverstein used what insurance proceeds he had to keep paying the rent to the Port Authority$120 million a year, escalating over the next fifteen years to over $200 millionand start planning new towers. Ignoring survivors who said he was moving too quickly to build offices on hallowed ground, he spent six weeks patrolling the halls of Congress to win the same protection from lawsuits that the airlines had. Then there was a mounting battle with the towers' insurers, which had ensnared him in a Catch-22: The $3.6 billion he was entitled to wasn't nearly enough to replace all 10 million square feetbut if he didn't rebuild all 10 million square feet the way the lease specified, he wouldn't be entitled to all the $3.6 billion. Any less than 10 million feet, we give the insurance companies a gift, he says.

Yesterday I basked in a beautiful spring day in Indiana out on my mom's back porch, doing one of my favorite things: reading! During my visit, while my mom recovers from her second hip-replacement surgery (she's doing GREAT!), I'm determined to finish up The Introvert Advantage: How to Thrive in an Extrovert World by Marti Olsen Laney. I'm also re-reading Franny and Zooey by J.D. Salinger.
According to Laney's helpful assessment of introversion, "The strongest distinguishing characteristic of introverts is their energy source: Introverts draw energy from their internal world of ideas, emotions, and impressions They are energy conservers. They can be easily over stimulated by the external world, experiencing the uncomfortable feeling of 'too much'." Ahem. That's me.
An introvert of celebrity status, New York native J.D. Salinger was famous for not wanting literary fame. Beyond mere introversion, he fiercely guarded his privacy, ultimately choosing seclusion for more than a half century.
In 1953, two years after the publication of Catcher in the Rye, he withdrew from the outside world for over half a century in the small New Hampshire town of Cornish. You can see his home here (I have to admit, it looks very tempting! I can see why he loved it.) And you can read his neighbors' defense of his seclusion as being more of an attempt of a quiet man needing privacy, than that of a reclusive man wanting isolation, in this article from the NY Times.
|J.D. Salinger
January 1, 1919 - January 27, 2010
Back to my mom's back porch. I enjoyed a quiet spring afternoon Salinger would have relished: solitary time with my books, a mug of coffee, a view of the stark leafless trees in the woods against a pale blue sky, with music from a CD of Puccini's opera arias floating on the breeze through the open (not bolted) sliding glass door out to where I was sitting!
|My attempt at Salinger's brooding stare!
J.D. Salinger's Franny and Zooey (1961) reads almost like a script for a play, complete with stage setting, props, and characters' movements noted in detail. The intellectually charged "lines" of dialogue between the characters is full of italicized staccatos.
The narrative is in two parts. The short story, Franny (originally published in The New Yorker, 1955), takes place in a college town and involves an undergraduate girl who has become disenchanted with - and lost respect for - those in the academic environment around her. Franny is seeking answers from a book, The Way of a Pilgrim, that one of her professors has recommended to her. The novella, Zooey (published in The New Yorker, 1957), refers to Zooey Glass, Franny's brother and the second-youngest member of the Glass family (the Glass siblings, all rather brilliant, had each, as children, participated in a radio quiz program "It's a Wise Child".) In this second half of the book, Zooey confronts his younger sister, Franny, as she suffers a near mental and spiritual breakdown in their parents' Manhattan living room apartment - leaving their mother, "Bessie", worried and concerned. He offers Franny rather sage advice, along with brotherly love and understanding.
I decided to re-read Franny and Zooey this year during Lent because of the spiritual lesson Franny learns in the story. She has become obsessed with saying "The Jesus Prayer", Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me, which she has learned from the Pilgrim book. But she has been praying it as a religious mantra, as opposed to a loving request, and without understanding the point of it.
Zooey helps her understand that the Jesus Prayer is about finding unity with God, and that all humankind deserves our love and respect. He tells her:
We're carrying the Kingdom of Heaven around with us, inside...I swear to you, you're missing the whole point of the Jesus Prayer. The Jesus Prayer has one aim, and one aim only. To endow the person who says it with Christ-Consciousness. Not to set up some cozy, holier-than-thou trysting place with some sticky, adorable divine personage who'll take you in his arms and relieve you of all your duties and make all your nasty Weltschmerzen ["evils of the world"] and Professor Tuppers go away and never come back...
And isn't this the point of Lent? We strive to come back to God and the mercy that He offers to us through His Son Jesus, who will "trample down death by death" on Pascha!
Last night I attended the beautiful Orthodox Liturgy of Pre-Sanctified Gifts, a mid-week Lenten Eucharistic service. My ears perked up as my brother - the priest at my mom's parish - quietly spoke the barely-audible words, "Through the prayers of the Holy Fathers, Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on us," over and over, while he solemnly transferred the pre-sanctified gifts to the holy altar table, his head covered in reverence. The congregation quietly knelt in prostration, then rose, as the choir intoned:

Let us draw near in faith and love, and become communicants of life eternal.
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.

There is heated debate these days about how modern golf equipment, especially a too-lively ball, is making obsolete many of the traditional "classic" courses. But our great old courses' modest distances are no reason to overlook them, particularly for the average golfer, so several very traditional classics are on this list.
I offer no precise definition of classic. Its meaning, like any choice of a favorite, is highly, if not exclusively, subjective. But there are some generally accepted measures. One is the high standard of accuracy and shot trajectory demanded by the slant, angularity, and undulation of the course's fairways and greens. Another is strategically situated bunkering in the fairways and beside the greens, not to say the location of that most unremittingly punishing hazard, water. These elements must be present throughout all 18 holes for a course to be "classic."
The selections here include only courses the writer himself has played. He could name another 10, but space is wanting. They are in no order of ranking; the first on the list is not necessarily the most classic of all.
1 THE OLYMPIC CLUB (LAKE COURSE), San Francisco, California.
An exquisite representation of the San Francisco area's distinctive geography. Most of the holes are penned in by stands of closely adjacent trees, and the terrain mimics the ups and downs of the city's landscape. (Private club)
2 SHINNECOCK HILLS GOLF CLUB, Southampton, New York.
Five miles from the Atlantic Ocean, it is as close to true Scottish links as can be found in the United States. Wide open to the elements, its sand-based terrain has the pitch and roll of a roiling sea. The grand sweep of the course is magnified by the steady winds that almost invariably rush across it. (Private club)
3 PINE VALLEY GOLF CLUB, Clementon, New Jersey.
A unique example of punitive course architecture in South Jersey's sandy pine forest. Every hole demands a consequential carry over stretches of unkempt scrub desert. The fairways are wide, but the approach shots are monumental challenges to reach shapely and closely bunkered greens. (Private club)
4 TPC AT SAWGRASS, Ponte Vedra, Florida.
Its spectacular, famous (or infamous) island-green seventeenth hole distracts from the 17 other holes, which altogether force a full examination of one's game in the context of the particular demands of Florida golf, with its wind and humidity. (Resort course)
5 COG HILL (DUBSDREAD) GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB, Lemont, Illinois.
A mid-American masterpiece wherein an essentially flat prairie landscape is sculpted into 18 surprisingly animated holes. Its designer, Dick Wilson, was an artist of the dogleg, with this course his most affecting canvas. (Public course)
6 THE KNOLL (EAST) COUNTRY CLUB, Parsippany, New Jersey.
A sleeper, in that it has never been recognized by establishment golf experts. It is the best work of Charles ("Steam Shovel") Banks, something of a cult figure in the New Jersey area. Banks moved a lot of earth without heaving it here and there. (Public course)
7 PINEHURST NO. 8, Pinehurst, North Carolina.
Pinehurst No. 2 is a long-recognized classic, but Tom Fazio's newer No. 8 has the same qualities with fairer putting services: no upturned soup bowls to play to and putt over. A pre-eminent adaptation of eastern Carolinas sandhills topography. (Resort course)
8 THE DUNES GOLF AND BEACH CLUB, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
Intriguing, thoughtful shorter holes; steadfast long ones with subtly raised greens that have just the right degree of undulation; plus sharply defined bunkers perfectly placed. A splendid variety of shapes and sizes within its savanna ambience and perhaps the best course among the hundreds designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr. (Semiprivate club)
9 QUAKER RIDGE GOLF CLUB, Scarsdale, New York. Eighteen U.S.
Open-quality holes. This is the best course A. W. Tillinghast ever built, and he is responsible for such other standouts as Winged Foot (a few miles down the road), Baltusrol, and San Francisco Golf Club. (Private club)
10 MERION GOLF CLUB (EAST), Ardmore, Pennsylvania.
An old classic supposedly outmoded by today's equipment. Bah! It's a wonderful commingling of strapping par fours and fives and engaging shorter holes, including the shortest par three ever played in a U.S. Open, all set in a tight yet somehow commodious space. The only complete course designed by Hugh Wilson. (Private club)
Al Barkow, the former editor of Golf magazine, is the author of Golf's Golden Grind and The Golden Era of Golf.

I am officially in day 4 of the 30 Day Tahitian challenge, explained here. Here's what I've done so far.
Tahitian Dance by nia-maki featuring jacquard beach towels
Beach cover up
Crystal jewelry
Jacquard beach towel
Blomus water carafe
Day 1 Just Dance
For the first day, I eased into the challenge by just making sure I did it. I took out my old parau and top, and put on some music and did a few of each movements and tried to remember some old routines. I did't push myself to be honest, but I was still sweating and out of breath by the end of my session because as easy as it seems, Tahitian dance is WORK!
If you're a total beginner, fear not! Terms for basic Tahitian Dance moves can be found here.
Also watch this video from youtube for how each move looks like (done by my favorite Tahitian dancer, Moena).
Day 2 Record Your Baseline
Before you can start making your routines, I think it's important to know where you are starting from. Not only will it help you see how much you've come along, but it will be good for you to see your weak points and what needs work.
Since this is as much a fitness journey as it is a dancing one, I measured my body for my starting point. The places I am most concerned with are my waist and arms, but I also included my hips.
Next I took a mental note (and a digital recording) of how big and fast my fa'arapus are, how long I can do the fa'arapus, how far my hips go up when I do tamos, and several other movements.
Fa'arapu: I could go longer than 30 seconds full speed but honestly becomes too sloppy.
I also did a few stretches before and after, and it all took about 30 minutes.
My before pictures and video can be seen on my instagram @Nia_Maki
Day 3 Creating Structure
This day came after the weekend, but is a day I dedicated to working on my routine and planning the rest of the challenge out. After reviewing the videos from day 2, I was able to see what really needed work and helped me to make goals for the challenge.
A fuller fa'arapu. It looked as though I did bring it up in the back, but I do not tilt my pelvis in enough when I bring it in the front. I need to do some hip opening stretches and include drills on folding my hips in and pushing it out. Once I can do fuller fa'arapus if I still have time I hope to work on the speed and hopefully be able to do a fa'arapu for 2 minutes straight.
Better posture. I need to work on good posture in general, but I really must get used to how my body should be positioned when dancing so I won't hurt myself and also make it look much better. My arm movements need to be more graceful as well, but the major issues are my knees and shoulders. Keeping my upper body still and shoulders in place especially with varus is my priority.
I used to have lots of problems with knee pain when I was in class, and part of it is because my calf area isn't flexible, my hamstrings aren't as strong, and my posture was bad so I must have been placing my weight in the wrong places and not using the right parts of my body to dance.
Size. I say size and not weight because as you tone up I understand you might hit a point where you stop losing weight but still get "smaller". Two people can have the same weight but still look different depending on where the weight settles or how much of it is fat vs muscle. Look at this picture of Kara at 130 lbs, but is not the same shape/size in the picture or just google what 5 lbs of fat vs muscle looks like. I would like to not have to buy a whole new set of clothes now that I'm in the U.S. and I'm serious when I say my jeans already feel tighter.
I decided to take 30 minutes to an hour each day, depending on how I feel and what I have to get done. I won't be dancing everyday, but I'll be focusing on different things each day so it will work out.
Week 1: Foundation, Routine, Basics (Stretching, Arms)
Week 2: Special Focus on Faarapu (Core, Hips, Legs)
Week 3: Special Focus on Tipene (Legs)
Week 4: Special Focus on Duck Walk -Still Debating on this one-
Each week will get it's own post, and I'll post daily or every other day on daily tasks.
My basic practice session:
10-15 minutes Stretching
15 minutes Basic moves
15 minutes Drills targeting a specific are/technique
10 minutes Cool Down
Day 4 Loosen Up
As I mentioned before, I have trouble bending my knees and getting low when dancing. For this I needed to work on my hip flexors and my calf area.
This site goes more in depth of why it's important, and shows you (with video) 12 great stretches to loosen up your hip flexors.
This site goes more in depth of why it's important, and shows you (with video) 12 great stretches to loosen up your hip flexors.
Here is another site for ankle and calf stretches.
After doing all of those, I will be doing the stretches from the video below, since it has hip opening exercises as well as other basic stretches.
After dancing, I also want to have a cool down stretch, and this video seems good for it.
If you don't have the 13 minutes for the cool down, here's a 5 minute alternative.
Even though I won't be dancing everyday, I will be stretching everyday from here for the remainder of the challenge.
This became a rather long and condensed post, because it combines all four days in one, but I'll try and get better about posting everyday/every other day.
Please let me know if there are any suggestions/tips =)

A 10-month-old girl who has Downs syndrome has been unveiled as the new face of swimwear designer Dolores Cortés.
Valentina Guerrero, of Miami, has made history as the first poster child with Downs syndrome to be chosen as the main model of a prestigious fashion designer's campaign.
She was hand-picked to represent DC Kids, the Spanish designer's children's line.
"People with Downs syndrome are just as beautiful and deserve the same opportunities," Cortes said. "I'm thrilled to have Valentina modelling for us."
Valentina made her fashion debut at Miami Swim Fashion Week, where she was carried ont o the stage by Cortés at the end of the fashion show.
She also graces the cover of the label's US catalogue dressed in a pink floral swimsuit.
Her mother, Cecilia Elizalde, said that Cortes's decision to include her daughter in their campaign carried a "clear message"
She told the Daily News: "I am very happy that DC Kids USA chose Valentina as their main model because this carries a clear message of inclusion and starts changing the old perception of Downs syndrome, thus generating a much-needed transformation in society.
"As a mother, I am incredibly proud of what my daughter has achieved in less than a year of life."
DC Kids USA plans to donate 10 percent of profits from the new Kids USA collection to the Downs Syndrome Association of Miami.

A team of international board-certified lactation consultants provide personalized assistance to mothers. Our lactation specialists and nurses have a more than an 80% breastfeeding initiation rate at OMC's hospital.
To be clear, we will not pressure you to breastfeed your child. Our team believes the method of feeding is a personal choice each mother makes, depending on her unique situation. And we don't believe in an "all or nothing" approach—our lactation team can help you find a combination of breast- and bottle-feeding that works for you and your baby.
Lactation services are available during the hospital stay, after mother and baby return home, via telehealth from branch clinics, and via OMC's nurse line.

Currently working on a decentralized blockexplorer.Read more about it here
Sent 1000!That will hopefully set Mr. Spread up for a meal or two... I know things are relatively expensive in Switzerland, maybe Hamster food isn't as bad lol. As for the competition, I rather like the idea of Mr. Spread having a choice of objects and seeing which one he chooses. Maybe we can guess the time it will take for him to eat a certain amount of food?? Or guess the weight of how much food he eats in a week. Those are a few of my ideas. Probably whichever is easiest for you will be best!
If needed I have a 3D printer, so printing some little toys for him is a possibility that I have ! It seems that you don't like plastic for him, but maybe PLA plastic is fine ? It is very robust and can be used to create too big objects for his mouth .
BTW, just to demonstrate how funny/cute hamster videos using objects could be, watch this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djltYJ3p3tshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWkLiFwgeW0

my first idea was to assume the opposite, i.e. that there is a polynomial such that p(A)=B, for example (I'd do the p(B)=A one separately).
I wondered if that would work too. I was hoping that the powers of A would have some common feature that would be incompatible with the equivalent in B, but nothing obvious occurs.
I'm also trying to construct a series of geometric transformations equivalent to A and also for B, in the hope that something will show the required result.
The matrix B has nicer eigen values.
Yes, but how do eigenvalues enter into this problem anyway?
The matrix B has nicer eigen mvalues.]]>
Still, something makes me think there's a much more elegant solution that I'm not seeing.]]>
The Wikipedia article is very badly written. Also, Wolfram MathWorld has a different definition of matrix polynomial (http://mathworld.wolfram.com/MatrixPolynomial.html) defining it as a polynomial with matrix coefficients rather than matrix variables but I think the Wikipedia definition makes more sense. In other words, if p(x) is a polynomial, p(A) is the matrix polynomial obtained by replacing the variable x by the matrix A and the constant term by a[sub]0[/sub]I[sub]2[/sub] where I[sub]2[/sub] (= A[sup]0[/sup]) is the 2×2 identity matrix.
Ive Google-searched but found very little in the way of help on tackling problems of this sort.]]>
Many thanks for that info. I'd not met that before. Any idea about how to do the problem?
(Not to be confused with polynomial matrix, which is a matrix whose entries are polynomials.)]]>
Welcome to the forum.
I have to admit straight away that I cannot do this question. I held off making a post in the hope someone else would, but it doesn't look like that is going to happen, so I'll jump in with what I have. Maybe someone will notice who can put us both straight.
Firstly, I'm assuming those are 2 by 2 matrices. This is how to display them; click the matrix and you will see the underlying Latex code.
Now, what makes you think that this is a question about eigenvalues? Here's how to get a characteristic polynomial for a square matrix:
Multiplying and equating the first and second entries:
Solving for lambda:
And by a similar method for B
These are called the characteristic polynomials for A and for B.
But what has that got to do with
p(A)=B or p(B)=A.
If p(A) means 'the characteristic polynomial' then it cannot be equal to a matrix. They just aren't the same thing.
So what does p(A) mean? Do you have anything in your notes / textbook that tells us, because I don't recognise the notation.
The only thing I can think of is this:
where the small letters are the coefficients of a normal polynomial and there are a number of powers of A.
[note: There can be no 'constant' matrix at the end, because it would be easy to make any sum of matrices equal to B by a suitable choice of constant term.]
If that is correct, then we have to show that no combination of powers of A, multiplied by coefficients, can ever sum to give B (and similarly the other way round). At the moment I cannot think how to do that; but I'm working on it.

I truly missed stitching on this project for the remainder of March. Come to think about it, I wasn't really that smart this month either because now I have almost another four weeks before I can stitch on this again ;o) LOL! Here is what the whole thing looks like -
I wonder how Nia is coming along :o)
I've had a few people ask how I'm doing so I thought I should probably update you. I saw my doctor and as far as he's concerned, it's my Fibro that's been acting up :o( He did order a blood test for Rheumatoid Arthritis but he doesn't think I have it. He gave me a new prescription for my Tylenol 3 with Codeine because my other one was from 2008 (I think) so its kick was pretty much gone. I can honestly say that one of the new pills doesn't really do anything for the pain either :o(
Thankfully the pain has subsided but there are days, like today, when I can feel it in my knees and elbows. Not fun. I also got some new medication for my migraines and although it seems to work like a charm without knocking me out, the prescription is pretty expensive! Just to give you an idea, six pills cost us $22 and that was 'with' coverage. Oye!
I can definitely say that I am truly blessed by wonderful friends though and that has kept my spirits up during this time :o) At the first of the week, I received a package of charts and floss from one of my Stalkers -
Colleen (no Blog) is from my home province of NB and has been reading my Blog for awhile now. She did a RAK and I couldn't be more thrilled! Thank you again Colleen! You are too kind and just know this stash went to a good home. A thank you will be sent out soon ;o)
Then yesterday I picked up another parcel and this was something I wasn't expecting. When I read the return address and saw that it was from Tina, I wondered what she was up to... Imagine my surprise when I opened the box and found this -
ROFL!!!! Tina sent me a package of ECEs and Milka cream filled eggs (they even come with little tiny spoons!). Apparently she thought she could convert me... I'm sorry to say Tina but it didn't work :o( I guess I'm just an ECE girl at heart ;o) Thank you so much for the thoughtful package though. It really did put a much needed smile on my face!

When the British began to forcibly recruit members of the colonies into their army, Clipper asked Connor for help. The assassin hunted down three of the "recruiters" and murdered them, allowing the two to go after and kill the Templar commander in the territory and release it from their control. Afterwards, Wilkinson pledged his musket to the aid of the Assassin's Order.
Assassin Stats[edit]
In open combat, Wilkinson wields a sword as a primary weapon and a flintlock pistol as a secondary one when he first joins. He is most efficient from a distance.
His special assassin ability is "Marksman", which allows Connor to use any of his assassin allies as snipers instead of basic combat allies, allowing them to pick off highlighted targets from a distance with muskets and flintlocks.

Well Halloween was a fabulous time in our classroom! We had such a blast! Here's the low-down on what we did! I loved our pumpkin unit. There is so much fun to be had when it comes to pumpkins! You can see some of our fun creations later in this post in our fall display. One exciting part of the unit that the kids are always "pump"ed (haha gosh, I'm clever) about is pumpkin carving!! Before the scooping began, I passed out small papers with blank pumpkins on them. I asked the students to draw a picture of the jack-o-lantern that they would want us to carve. They did an awesome job! We then voted as a class which we liked best. Here were our winners:
|I am the big pumpkin in the middle! And just to be clear - despite how it appears in this picture, I have two legs. The witch on my right is my intern Chelsea and the pumpkin on my left is my fellow kindergarten teacher (and good buddy) Amanda.
|Our "Witches Brew" made with lime sherbet (my kids called this lizard guts), pineapple juice, and gingerale. And don't forget the hand!! This is always a winner!
|We also made little witches broomsticks with pretzels and reeses!
|Making "Spageletons" - Skeletons out of spaghetti (I was so proud when I came up with the name!)
|Making graveyards with chocolate pudding, oreo crumbles, gummy worms, and milano cookies (tombstones)
|Pumpkin Bowling!
|Pumpkin Painting
|The snack table! YUM!!
|One of my kids moms brought this in! They were so cute and the kids gobbled them up!
|The inside of our room!
|The hallway right outside of our room! The kids loved all the pumpkin activities that we did. You may be wondering why I have 600 scarecrows. All I have to say is: Sale. At Michaels. No self-control.
|Our Pumpkin Diagrams - these were super easy to make! I printed all the words on labels and all the kids had to do was stick them on the correct place instead of messing with sticky glue!
|"Leaf Pile Kids" - Super cute! I got this idea from April Larremore's blog and created my own templates.

I know that every parent has their own opinions about everything under the sun, but that ultimately it is up you, to make your own judgements, and to parent your children how you choose. I also know that children change A LOT! Especially babies, as they are growing and developing very quickly. With that in mind, I know that some things that work for one baby might not work for all babies. Even though this is the case, I still thought I'd share with you what is currently working for us to get our baby to sleep.
1. SwaddleMe (Stage 2) Swaddle Blankets // We didn't start using these until recently, but they have totally changed our lives! Reagan can't sleep unless she's swaddled. If she's not swaddled, she will rub her face or knock her binky out of her mouth, overall just wake herself up with her hands/ arms. Before we had these SwaddleMe wraps we just used blankets to swaddle her, but she would ALWAYS get out. She sometimes still gets her arms out of these, but it isn't very often. They really help her sleep. Plus, I like that her feet are contained but loose in the bottom of the bag, so her toes stay warm, but she has a little bit of wiggle room.
2. Fleece Blanket // Now that it's getting a bit cold outside (and inside), we usually wrap her up in a fleece blanket after we wrap her in the SwaddleMe. The extra layer makes me feel comfortable knowing that she wont freeze. The one that we use we received as a gift, but any blanket would work really.
3. Binky // This is a necessity in getting Reagan to fall asleep. It is almost impossible to get her to sleep without one. I think these are her favorites, but she isn't too picky. I have noticed that she likes the soft rubbery plastic binkys better than the hard plastic ones though. We just opened the 3-6 month binkys but are still using the 0-3 month ones as well. When she actually falls asleep, she usually spits out the binky and that's when we know, she's REALLY asleep.
4. Sound Machine // When Reagan was born our pediatrician told us that the key to her happiness in these first few months would be white noise and swaddling. We didn't really take his advice at first, but have learned our lesson and corrected our ways. We have this sound machine, and love it. It was the perfect price ($15) and does everything we need it to. We really only use the white noise setting, but it's nice that there are other options, if someday we want to use them. It's also nice that it has an auto-off setting. We don't currently use it, but again, it is nice that if we wanted to, we could use it. Right now, we just leave it on all night, because I heard that white noise might help prevent SIDS. White noise really calms Reagan down, and usually puts her right to sleep.
5. Babywise // My parents call this the Baby Bible. I didn't read it until Reagan was 2 months old, and I really wish I would have read it earlier. The basic premiss of the whole book is feed/ wake/ sleep, which isn't usually the natural cycle for a baby. The book suggests that you feed the baby right when they wake up, then keep them awake for a while, and then put them down for a nap. It rocks. Ultimately, it has helped Reagan to sleep through the night.
6. Hat // We took a birthing class and the nurse who taught it said that when she used to work in a newborn nursery her trick to help babies sleep was a hat pulled about halfway over the baby's eyes. It makes it a little bit darker for them, and keeps them warm, both of which help babies to sleep. I also like it because when I put Reagan's hat on, it's almost like she knows it's time to sleep.
7. Baby Monitor // I love this thing. We have the camera set up by Reagan's crib and I can carry the monitor around with me where ever I am in the house and see how she is doing while she naps. I really like that it has Night Vision, so I can see her while she's sleeping in the night and I really like that it has two-way communication, so I can talk to her if I need to. Oh and one more thing, I really that it is expandable up to 4 cameras, for our future babies.
8. Bouncy Chair // If Reagan is really freaking out, and I can tell that she is really tired, but wont calm down, I will swaddle her, give her a binky, turn on some white noise, and put her in the bouncy chair with the vibration on, while I simultaneously bounce her. It is like the quadruple threat, and usually makes her fall asleep within minutes. Then, after she falls asleep, I carefully transfer her to the crib. We don't do this every time she needs to go to bed, only when we need some reinforcements.
And that is what currently works for us! I'm sure in like a month it will be different, but here, at 4 months, this is what we are loving!

Review of Sumiko Dreams – Star vs Sumiko Ring Match – 9 Mins
Sumiko enters the ring where Star is already waiting for her. Sumiko asks Star if she is ready to wrestle and proceeds to put a one sided beat down on unsuspecting Star. Sumiko uses the following moves: body slam, suplexes, leg drops, splashes, over the knee back breaker, stunner, belly punches to wear Star down before finishing her off with 3 brutal tombstone piledrivers and pinning her.
Another one of the videos I picked up from my resent rummage through Sumiko's c4s updates. This one is a short but sweet prostyle squash, where Star doesn't even come close to putting up a fight. I am huge fan of Star's outfit in this one and Sumiko's for that matter. The battle pretty simple with bodyslams, leg drops and splashes with several piledrivers for the final nail in the coffin. Star sells well, not the level Sumiko would have, of course, but a good job by her nonetheless. Sumiko is in full trash talking heel mode which is always good. I liked this video, a solid squash vid. I hope Sumiko gets the chance to bring Star back SKW because that would produce some serious greatness.
Overall Score: 8.5/10

It's October!
...Okay, so it's actually November, but these outfits were from October. And they are SO October, you know? Idk black and white or all black is like ~the look~ for October. Spooky af.
So it's fall! Fall where I live means crisp-er weather, but not necessarily cold yet/ever. Usually it's cold and foggy in the morning and then warms up in the afternoon. This means LAYERS.
Autumn has some aHMAZing clothes, and I've gathered some of my favourite inspiration for the ~October feels~. ((Also, because where I live doesn't really get cold, my autumnal inspiration is not the same as maybe would be presented by someone on the East Coast (just as a warning haha))). SO, ~October feels~: Dark clothes, a lot of "crisp" clothes (to mimic the crisp fall air amirite), loose fitting/oversized outerwear, layers, translucent or transparent tops (or even bottoms...stay tuned), especially allowing a peek of pretty bralettes (*heart eyes emoji*), bralettes in general, hand doodled on button ups, "menswear" as "womenswear" (quotes because the idea that there is such a thing as menswear and womenswear is a stupid social construct), mono-crome or mono-patterned outfits, and baseball caps.
This sweater is sparkly!
I made this shirt! Well, I drew all the boobs on it. I made it for my boyfriend, but this is a photo of me wearing it in a gr8 outfit tbh.

Deandre Hillman, 17, died in August of cardiac arrest.
He died on an outdoor basketball court in Columbus, Ohio, two games into a hot night, while friends poured water over him.
He was 6-foot-5, a varsity player at nearby Whitehall-Yearling High, with a chance to be very good.
There was something else about Deandre Hillman.
"He looked just like me," Laker forward Samaki Walker said Wednesday afternoon.
Hillman was Walker's nephew, his brother's oldest child. A basketball player, just like his uncle. A decent kid, trying to get better. And then he was gone, and so were the telephone calls, and the summer pickup games, and the laughs.
"I was his idol," Walker said quietly. "He loved his uncle. And, oh man, I loved him."
Doctors said Hillman suffered from electrical instability in his heart, and that his slight dehydration that night could have exacerbated that. Hillman's mother said he was born with a hole in the heart, but the autopsy found no evidence of it.

Looking back on this post and seeing a picture of me actually smiling (while holding a smiley face balloon) has me thinking about my own happiness. Throughout my life I've been known to be rather negative and at times even bitter. Lately I've been attempting to turn my thinking around and I'm trying my absolute best to find positive sides to the situations I find myself in. Reminding myself of the ~little~ things that make me smile is a great way to remain positive and it really helps me see the beauty in the world. I'm going to share a list with you below that mentions a handful of things that make me happy. There are definitely more things that make me smile that aren't mentioned on the list but here are some of the first things that came to mind:
Thunderstorms, loud music, long drives, bright lipsticks, bold patterns, airy fabrics, fresh flowers, the paws on kitties, kitties in general, old friends, new friends, best friends, friends that feel like family, family that feel like friends, deep conversations, killer handbags, ready to wear fashion, couture gowns, combat boots, finding an unbeatable sale, hearing about people's passions, seeing the fire in their eyes, holding hands, air conditioning, first snowfalls, lived-in jeans, maps, glitter, reruns of old TV shows, hot coffee, iced tea, homemade cookies, heartfelt letters, popping bubble wrap, waking up to text messages, good hair days, laughing until I cry, Alexisonfire, colourful sunsets, red nail polish, peeling the plastic off of new CDs, waking up from a well deserved nap, Harry Potter, brand new tattoos, cringe-worthy puns, jelly filled donuts, anything covered in sprinkles, compliments from strangers, memorable outfits, movie popcorn, gummy candy, forehead kisses, beaten up Chuck Taylors, the smell of fresh laundry, the warmth from a candle, birthday wishes, wild dancing, live music, witty comebacks, facial hair, anything grape flavoured, long weekends, sleeping in, cozy scarves, binge watching, The Simpsons, star filled skies and McDonald's french fries.

Some swatches for you today! I just wanted to show you some of my recent favourites from the budget end of the scale. So I've got one polish each from four budget brands that I love; Collection Cosmetcs, W7, Sinful Colors and 2True.
First up is Scorched by Collection Cosmetics. This is a fairly new release to their Hot Looks collection and I love it. It's a gorgeous orange/red shimmery polish.
This is three coats of Scorched, and it does dry really quick which is ace. Collection Cosmetics Hot Looks Range is available at £1.99 a polish and what I love about this brand is that they have it at most supermarkets, so you can "accidentally" chuck a couple of polishes in your trolley amongst the weekly shop, so it's not like your really buying polish, or something.
Next up we have Neptune by W7 which retails at £2.95. This is a very dark blue polish that has hints of purple and blue dependant on which direction you tilt it in the light.
This polish is very opaque, and I could have got away with one coat really. This is two coats of Neptune. I reckon it'd be a great base for a galaxy manicure.
Here's another polish from my Sinful Colors stash. This is Midnight Blue. This is a gorgeous blue shade, with a lovely shimmer to it.
This is two coats of Midnight Blue. This applies brilliantly too.
Finally, here is a pale blue shade from 2True called Shade 2. (My only grumble about 2True is the uninspired names they give their polishes).
This is a really pale blue shade, which on its own is probably only just avoiding looking a bit too much like blu-tack, but I think it will be a great base colour for nail art. 2True polishes retail for £1.99 each in Superdrug, and are pretty much constantly on a 3 for £5 deal.
So, which one is your favourite? Out of this bunch, I have to say I am totally in love with Scorched by Collection Cosmetics, it's so unusual.

Cologne sack Solbakken as Schaefer returns
Cologne fired Norwegian coach Stale Solbakken on Thursday and put former boss Frank Schaefer back in charge for the final four matches of the season in a bid to stave off relegation from the Bundesliga.
"Staying up is our top priority," said board chairman Werner Wolf in a statement. "All decisions have to be taken with this in mind.
"Following our defeat against Mainz it is a regretful yet necessary measure," he added referring to Cologne's 4-0 hammering on Tuesday.
Solbakken confirmed his sacking in a two-word text message to the Norwegian radio station NRK which read, "Fired!!! Damn!".
Third from bottom Cologne have recorded one win in 10 games and are in the relegation play-off spot, two points ahead of second from bottom Hertha Berlin.
Solbakken's team possess the worst defensive record in the Bundesliga, having conceded 63 goals in 30 matches this season.
Youth team coach Schaefer stepped down as first-team supremo a year ago.
