Polish-born urban artist Adam Klodzinski, aka #SOAP, paints large scale aerosol graffiti that looks uncannily like photographs. The only giveaway is his unique signature. It's not a tag, but a stylized mini self portrait lovingly called "Little Adam" painting the work.

#SOAP alias Adam Klodzinski è uno street artist polacco con una passione divorante per la musica: alla sua mostra alla West Bank Gallery, dall'11 al 18 giugno, compaiono ritratti fra gli altri di Florence and the Machine, Ed Sheeran, Goldie, Dizzee Rascal e Rihanna. Tutti sempre firmati col logo riconoscibilissimo di #SOAP: al posto di una sigla, la sua silhouette mentre lavora con la fedele bomboletta spray.

Inspired by the golden age of New York graffiti, Polish-born street artist Adam Klodzinski aka SOAP took huge risks as a teenager to learn his craft spraying trains and walls in Northern Poland. He started experimenting with street graffiti, walls, trains together with his late pal Pawel Nowicki and they were the first graffiti crew to emerge from Poland at the time – B2. Very soon, the crew began to receive commissions for murals, expanding the graffiti culture in Poland that now sees local councils supporting mural projects both legally and financially. This summer at London West Bank Gallery, SOAP celebrates his first major exhibition. From June 11 – 18, the audience will have the opportunity to see SOAP's photo-realism pieces that are created with a mix of aerosol sprays and airbrushes.

This summer at London West Bank, SOAP has his first major exhibition of hyperrealist paintings of icons such as Dizzee Rascal, Plan B and Jamie Campbell Bower. SOAP was born Adam Klodzinski in Poland in 1981. Inspired by the golden age of New York graffiti he took huge risks to learn his craft spraying trains and walls in Northern Poland. After joining the B2 crew he began to receive commissions for murals, expanding the graffiti culture in Poland that now sees local councils supporting mural projects both legally and financially.

SOAP Aka Adam Klodzinski, is a graffitti artist born in Bydgoszcz in Poland and is the artist dujour for an upcoming exhibition in London's West Bank Gallery in June.
SOAP started spraying walls and trains in his teen years using car spray, which was all there was at the time. As he matured so did his style and he went on to spray painting murals and portraits of recognizable icons. His work didn't just get city authorty attention it got the art worlds attention. And SOAP went from tagger to art sensation which has led to his first major exhibition/show next month at The West Bank Gallery in London starting June 11th.

"And when the paper and pencils weren't enough for him anymore, he started spray-painting school walls, abandoned train carriages and buildings."

From spray-painting trains in Poland as a teenager to notching up commissions for celebrity portraits (Plan B, The Rizzle Kicks and Professor Green to name a few), 33 years old Urban Artist Soap's rise has been a stratospheric one.
This is SOAP (aka Adam Klodzinski's) first major exhibition, held at The London West Bank Gallery.
Any one interested in graffiti art, street art, portraiture or surrealism should attend.
In the last decade graffiti art has been attributed with a new moniker, street art and urban art being the most circulated, as well as a newfound authorized status. Typically, the fabric of a city is a graffiti artist's gallery space, public and rather significantly, democratic, street surfaces of all descriptions are gratis canvases for the diversity of eclectic visuals and culturally powerful messaging. And whilst London's urban landscape may appear embellished with tags, 3d lettering and character-driven tableaus, nothing compares to the panoramas in Europe and especially the mural-adorned vistas in Poland.

These popsicles are healthy and are created with only a few ingredients: strawberries, yogurt, and honey. This is a great way to work on vocabulary, following directions, requesting, and social skills.. especially if you are cooking with a group. This would also be a fantastic activity to use with students who are receiving feeding therapy. Any time you can make food fun, you are making progress!
Check out the video below for directions on how to make these strawberry yogurt popsicles!

This weekend saw me plant up about another 25 or so little pots with seeds. I had more to get planted but I ran out of small pots. I made the decision to stick with using some small little plastic pots that I have here rather than using those little cardboard style seedling punnet things. I found the cardboard dried out way to fast. I had also been using egg cartons but similarly, they dried out too fast and I found I had no success in them. I have previously used both with success but I don't know what is wrong lately they just aren't working for me. The weather was a bit unseasonably warm though so that may have had something to do with it.
I have quite a lot of little seedlings which I am hoping will grow for me after my last "seed planting day" I had a few weeks ago. This seems to be my problem time usually. I find I can get seeds to shoot but it is getting the little seedling big enough to plant out into the ground that I seem to struggle with. A lot of them seem to just stop growing, they never get their true leaves coming through. Pumpkins and cucumbers and the more robust looking seedlings seem to be okay but things like tomato, lettuce, rocket etc I have problems with.
I have a nice assortment of sunflower seeds which I planted which are growing well and I look forward to planting them out this weekend. I can't wait to see those sunny faces :-)
Today I have my Mr9 home with me again, for the second day this week. He has a bit of a cold but it seems to turn into a croupy like cough at night time and last night he began vomiting up quite a bit of phlegm so we are off to the docs a little later just to check he is okay. After Mr11 having pneumonia the other week I don't want to chance it.
This year has been a bad one for sickness in this house. My boys have always had a great record of not missing days at school. All of them for their entire school lives have only missed maybe 2-3 days at the maximum each school year. This year Mr16 has only had about 1 day off I think so he is doing well but the younger 3 boys sheesh! Mr14 had to have a week off earlier in the year with a stomach bug. Mr11 has had a few days here and there due to severe colds and of course he missed a full week with his pneumonia. Mr9 has now had probably about 8 days off for the year. It is so weird how this year has seen them all alot sicker than usual. I'm still trying to work out what has changed. I know that each fortnight when we have my stepkids, Miss12 is notorious for getting colds. Every time she comes, she seems to have a cold, every time she leaves she has so kindly shared her germs throughout the house. I swear I am at the point of telling her mum that if she isn't well she needs to keep her, but I know that I will be talking to a brick wall. I think this would have to be one of the most frustrating parts of being a blended family, the sickness that seems to flow so easily. The boys seem to get a cold from their school environment, then they end up getting another cold right on top of it from the other kid's school environment. Step families could well be the greatest germ transporters known to man lol.

Amidst the hundreds of protests occurring spontaneously across a broad coalition, word of a protest of a whole different kind has been sweeping the country: calls for a "general strike," a work stoppage that goes beyond putting bodies in the streets.
Put together by individual organizers across the country in response to a call for a strike by author Francine Prose in a column for the Guardian, the first of such strikes will come on Friday.
But it's difficult to say exactly how wide-spread this first strike will be. There will be rallies in major cities like New York City, San Francisco and Philadelphia. But whether or not the single day strike can unify around a single message and make their point clear to the Trump administration remains to be seen.
So what's a general strike? A general strike is a work stoppage, not just in one company or industry, but across a wide coalition, area, city or even country that causes enough of a disruption to advance the stated goals of the strike.
Already, smaller strikes have hit the country in solidarity with Muslims and immigrants hit by President Donald Trump's travel ban. During the height of the protests against the ban, taxi drivers stopped serving JFK airport in New York. A few days later Yemeni bodega owners shut their doors and gathered mass prayer in Brooklyn.
For the strike on Friday, there are a few goals, depending on which Facebook event you've been following. Initially, the strike was organized around five goals:
1. No Ban, No Wall. The Muslim ban is immoral, the wall is expensive and ineffectual. We will build bridges, not walls.
2. Healthcare For All. Healthcare is a human right. Do not repeal the ACA. Improve it or enact Medicare for All.
3. No Pipelines. Rescind approval for DAPL and Keystone XL and adopt meaningful policies to protect our environment. It's the only one we've got.
4. End the Global Gag Rule. We cannot put the medical care of millions of women around the globe at risk.
5. Disclose and Divest. Show us your taxes. Sell your company. Ethics rules exist for a reason and presidents should focus on the country, not their company.
While these stated goals were advertised across many Facebook pages, some have changed their messaging slightly — the national page for the strike now has a much longer list on individual interests.
There are more, possible larger general strikes coming. The organizers behind Women's March on Washington has announced their own general strike on March 8, International Women's Day.
The strike will be a "day without women," asking women to step away from their roles in the home and the workplace in order to make the impact of their various kinds of labor felt in a bold stance for gender equality. Given the Women's March's enormous reach — they've already held what may have been the biggest single-day protest in United States history — it's safe to say the strike will be far-reaching.
And then on May Day, a global holiday for workers rights socialist organizations are preparing for a massive workers strike.
On Friday, we'll see whether or not Friday's general strike, without a clear central organization or broad coalitions of workers in collaboration with each other, will be the disruptive work stoppage some hope.

This rainy, cold, dark Sunday morning (hence the dark photos) I thought it'd be nice to post an update on my Conophytums going to sleep. In fact, it is so cold and uncomfortable (we've had -2° last week!) I'd rather wrap myself in sheets and sleep all day, too.
Last post was one month ago. Make sure to check it out for comparison. Almost all of the plants are prepared for summer heatwave now (even though any kind of warm weather feels like sci-fi at this point). By the way, I can't believe how long I've struggled against growing Conophytums, considering them too boring for any attention. Now I'm quite fascinated by them and would love to grow more. And try them from seed, too. The watering schedule might appear confusing at first but you do figure it out eventually, after a couple of years. If I have a chance this year I'd like to get more C. pellucidum (the white flowers are unusually mat instead of silky) as well as something fuzzy or a species with larger heads for diversity.
Conophytum pellucidum v. pellucidum 'pardicolor' ex. de Boer
Conophytum pellucidum ssp. cupreatum v. terrestre
Conophytum uviforme ssp. uviforme
Conophytum uviforme ssp. decoratum
Conophytum minusculum
There's a two-headed plant to the right. Can you see it? ;)
Conophytum ricardianum
Conophytum meyeri 'Leopardium'
Conophytum khamiesbergense
Conophytum fulleri
Conophytum ectypum ssp sulcatum
Conophytum angelicae ssp. tetragonum
Conophytum bilobum 'christiansenium'

The actor's 14-year stint at Great Western has fallen victim to the more retail-oriented outlook sweeping the banking industry, and a more hard-nosed marketing team that is revising the ad strategy at Great Western, based in Chatsworth, Calif. That shift will affect media used as well as ad creative, and include a greater emphasis on database marketing.
Dennis Shirley has moved swiftly since becoming senior VP-marketing director at Great Western less than a month ago. Mr. Shirley previously was VP-advertising director at First Interstate Bank. At Great Western, he succeeded Michael Aarons, who left the bank.
Mr. Shirley said the long-running Weaver campaign will be replaced this fall by new work yet to be developed by Dailey & Associates, Los Angeles.
The goal is to move Great Western away from traditional bank branding ads and into a more retail positioning, Mr. Shirley said.
"Some products will be [advertised as] loss leaders" in the way supermarkets have specials to hook customers, he said. In an effort to build a relationship with consumers, Great Western will waive fees and price products such as checking accounts on the "share of wallet" consumers have with the bank.
In addition, Mr. Shirley will drop the $3 million to $5 million Great Western has been spending on sports marketing efforts ranging from signs at stadiums to sports promotions.
"If [attendees] can't consume your product at the venue, you don't belong there," he said. Instead, that portion of the bank's $25 million to $30 million budget will go to direct marketing.
"We are trying to quantify our return on every dollar spent on marketing," Mr. Shirley said, with the initial ratio set at 3-to-1. "Every $100 spent on advertising should produce $300 in revenue."
The goal will be lifted into the 8-to-1 to 10-to-1 range as the new team gains experience, he said. Mr. Shirley believes the tools exist to verify and track these ratios.
Mr. Shirley said his first task in office has been to restructure his department, including the creation of a "data mining" group to concentrate on database marketing.
He denied, however, recent rumors that the bank was about to part with Dailey.
"We have not fired Dailey," he said. "We have not given them notice. We have not hired an outside consultant."
Great Western Bank, with 400 branches in California and Florida, is the second-largest savings institution in the U.S. measured by assets. It is a subsidiary of Great Western Financial Corp., with $44 million in assets and 4.5 million customers at 1,190 mortgage lending, retail banking and consumer finance offices nationwide.

Japan, where the disastrous Fukushima meltdown heightened the search for safe, sustainable alternative energy, is answering that need by sending a power plant into space. Actually, the plan to power the globe with gigantic space-based solar panels has been kicking around since the '60s.
But thanks to a perfect storm of technological advances, strong but lightweight tether materials, swarming worker robots that can self-assemble, more efficient solar panels, and cheaper payload launches, this thing is actually looking feasible.

Soon she learns it once belonged to her long-lost mother who committed suicide when she was just a baby. Suddenly feeling emotionally connected to the woman who had birthed her, Sidney begins to wear the necklace. This sends her on a whirlwind journey that alternates between fantasy and reality...
Almost immediately, she starts having dreams linked to the mysterious pendant. As danger begins to seep into her life, Sidney refuses to remove the necklace and instead documents each dream to help her further understand them.

Then I noticed someone approaching my line. As I turned to greet the new customer my heart stopped as my eyes drank in the sight of pure perfection. I couldn't breathe. The instant attraction I had felt for this stranger was overwhelming.
I just stood there frozen, completely stupefied and unable to move. Our eyes locked on each other as if we were setting up for a fatal duel. We were both frozen in time, waiting on the other to make the first move.
He wasn't very tall, five feet nine at the most. But his face made up for the height he lacked.
He had a pale, round face that was shaped like a heart with a high forehead and dark eyebrows that cast a shadow over his big green eyes. He had a tiny mouth with perfectly lined white teeth.
His hair was straight and jet black. It was messy and slightly long, reaching his neckline, as it defiantly fell in his face. My mind focused on one thing only.
His eyes. They were the same eyes that had been haunting my dreams for the past six months. The pendant eyes.

First things first: we think that Space Horse is one of the best bike names ever. The moniker may elicit chuckles, but the best thing about this new ride from Minneapolis's All-City Cycles is the smile it puts on your face when you ride it
At 11.52kg it isn't light, and with super-fat 35mm tyres it's no speedster, but none of that matters because the Space Horse is an absolute blast to ride.
- HIGHS: A great fun ride, but not one for wannabe racers
- LOWS: It's not exactly a flyweight
- BUY IF... You're the sort of rider who enjoys getting off the beaten track as much as sticking to the smooth stuff
The big Freedom Ryder tyres give it plenty of cushioning. While they are very heavy, they have tenacious grip on tarmac, and also allow you to attack dusty towpaths, cobbles and byways at serious speeds. The relatively short riding position and wide mid-drop bar make the All-City's handling more akin to that of a cyclocross or mountain bike, so there's always the temptation to chuck it down flights of steps, up and off kerbs, and to find excuses for forays into the sort of territory usually reserved for dirt bikes.
The Space Horse is a bike that demands tough kit and thankfully, it hasn't been short changed in this department. Full Tiagra, including the matched two-piece chainset, means excellent shifting, with the 12-30 cassette helping you on climbs despite the bike's weight. The wheels are tough Alex DA16 rims with 32 spokes and hardy Tiagra hubs. We subjected the Horse to some significant abuse and plenty of ill-advised wheel-off-the-ground time and they remained true.
But just because the Space Horse is one big ol' bouncy blast doesn't mean All-City have skimped on the small stuff. The frame is full of great features and displays an attention to detail unusual on a bike at this price. The rear brake cable, for instance, is routed through the top-tube with some neat external braze-ons and a full-length guide inside too, so shouldering the Horse is comfortable and snag-free.
The rear dropouts, designed in-house, are semi-horizontal, so unlike bikes with vertical dropouts, you can run this as a single-speed. The intricate design has a polished steel slide and built-in adjustment screw to adjust chain tension, but thanks to a tab at the entry, the wheel will always locate in the ideal place when replacing.
All-City have thought about protecting the ferrous metal from the elements too, giving it a pre-paint Electrophoretic Deposition coating. This rustproofing agent goes inside and out, and should see this Horse gallop on for many years.
The frame also features front and rear mudguard mounts, fittings for a rear rack – rated to take 30lb – plus front low-rider rack mounts, rated to 20lb. With the potential to carry 50lb of kit, the Space Horse could equally handle your weekly shop or a globe-trotting expedition.

Earlier this week in Beltsville, Maryland, one man was killed when a semi-truck crashed through a construction site on Interstate 95. According to one local news report, the fatal truck accident took place at around 1:30 in the morning near the crossing with Md. 200.
Evidently, the right lane and the ramp of Interstate 95 northbound were both closed for an ongoing construction project. As the semi-truck was heading north, it failed to negotiate a turn in the road and crashed into a truck with lighted arrow signs on top of it placed to direct traffic away from the project. Both the warning truck as well as the semi-truck continued down the highway after the initial collision and struck another construction vehicle before running over the 65-year-old construction worker.
Preliminary reports indicate that the construction crew had placed all appropriate traffic-control and warning devices. The driver of the semi-truck was taken to the hospital as well, although with only minor injuries.

Hacienda Heights is an unincorporated area in and below the Puente Hills of the San Gabriel Valley, in Los Angeles County, California, United States. As of the 2010 census, the community had a total population of 54,038, up from 53,122 at the 2000 census.
Hacienda Heights is located in the eastern San Gabriel Valley bordering La Puente and West Covina to the North, Whittier to the West, La Habra Heights to the South, and Rowland Heights to the East along the Pomona Freeway – Route 60. Hacienda Heights is a predominately residential neighborhood.
Hacienda Heights got its current name due to the community being centered around Hacienda Boulevard. Before this the area was known as North Whittier Heights, after its southern neighbor.
The city is served by the Hacienda La Puente Unified School District. Learning facilities include: four comprehensive high schools, one alternative high school, one Community Day School, 17 K-5 elementary schools, six K-8 schools, four middle schools, and two main Adult Education facilities.
Hacienda Heights has the largest Buddhist temple in Southern California – Hsi Lai Temple (meaning "Coming West). The temple sits on 15 acres of land and has a floor area of 102,432 sq ft. The temple's Ming Dynasty (1368-1644 AD) and Qing Dynasty (1644-1911 AD) architecture is faithful to the traditional style of buildings, Chinese gardens, and statuary of ancient Chinese monasteries. Hsi Lai Temple is a good place to learn Buddhism and Chinese culture for those interested.

Happy February 4th!
February 4 is the 35th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. There are 331 days remaining until the end of the year.
My horoscope tells me: You might think that nearly anything is possible now because you aren't likely to acknowledge your limitations. You're stepping into exciting territory where your positive attitude could transform an impossible goal into one that can be accomplished. Nevertheless, there's no point in trying to demonstrate your superiority. State your intentions and work toward your dreams, but give yourself plenty of time to turn your hopes into
|Alice Cooper.
This is for all of my fellow Aquarians, especially those that are mentioned in this blog. Let's make it true for all of us, especially that last sentence.
That works for me!
Perpetual optimists claim that their cheery dispositions bring them better health. It turns out that theory is not all in their heads: There is real scientific evidence to support a positive attitude protecting your mind and body, says Fred Bryant, professor of psychology at Loyola University in Chicago — and everyone can benefit from the glass-half-full thinking.

Alice Cooper (born Vincent Damon Furnier) was born on this date. He is a singer, songwriter, musician and occasional actor whose career spans five decades. With a stage show that features guillotines, electric chairs, fake blood, boa constrictors, baby dolls, and dueling swords, Cooper is considered by music journalists and peers alike to be "The Godfather of Shock Rock"; he has drawn equally from horror movies, vaudeville, and garage rock to pioneer a macabre, theatrical brand of rock designed to shock people. Shock rock is an umbrella term for artists who combine rock music or metal with highly theatrical live performances emphasizing shock value.Cooper is also known for his distinctive raspy voice.
I met Alice Cooper years ago. I wish I could locate the photo. I was working at Madison Scare Garden as part of their Halloween show.
I played a demented clown and when he came through, I jumped out and scared him so much that he flew back on his backside.
Today is also the birthday of Rosa Parks. I cannot even imagine what it would have been like to walk in her shoes. Today, I celebrate her.
She is still very much in the news. CLICK HERE.
Rosa Louise McCauley Parks was born on February 4, 1913 in Tuskegee, Ala., and became an iconic symbol of the Civil Rights Movement in the 50s after she refused to give up her bus seat in Montgomery, Ala., to a white man, spurring the Montgomery boycott and other efforts to end segregation.
Charles Augustus Lindbergh was also born on this date, nicknamed Slim, Lucky Lindy, and The Lone Eagle, was an American aviator, author, inventor, military officer, explorer, and social activist.
His son, the most famous baby in the world, Charles A. Lindbergh Jr., was kidnaped from his

In 1927, at the age of 25, Lindbergh emerged from the virtual obscurity of a U.S. Air Mail pilot to instantaneous world fame as the result of his Orteig Prize-winning solo nonstop flight from Roosevelt Field on New York's Long Island to Le Bourget Field in Paris, France. He flew the distance of nearly 3,600 statute miles (5,800 km) in a single-seat, single-engine, purpose-built Ryan monoplane, Spirit of St. Louis. As a result of this flight, he was the first person in history to be in New York one day and Paris the next.
The record-setting flight took 33 1⁄2 hours. Lindbergh, a U.S. Army Air Corps Reserve officer, was also awarded the nation's highest military decoration, the Medal of Honor, for his historic exploit.

As of this writing, what have you done TODAY?
It's 9:17am, so I've walked the dog, had a cup of very necessary coffee, and answered all my emails.
What is YOUR morning Motivation?
Today, my morning motivation is that I am going on vacation on tomorrow (February 6th, 2016) and I want to get everything done off my to do list so
that I can truly relax while on the beach.
If you could have been anyone in history who would you like to have been?
I would've loved to have walked a mile in Lucille Ball's show. I feel like she and Desi had so many barriers to overcome and they
did it with such grace and ease. I'd love to go back and watch that relationship and how they forged so many streams together, so to speak.
Why do you place so much emphasis on what you do? Why should others?
I hope that my art, my outlook, and my passion will touch someone in some way. But for now, I just keep on waking up and making art.
If you could have lunch with one Celebrity, who would it be and where would you like to take them?
I'd have lunch with Richard Skipper and I'd take him to Joe Allens so we could see a Broadway show afterwards. I never get to see that guy enough. ;)
Favorite theater?
Because I'm not a New Yorker, I'm not sure which theatre is which in NYC. My favorite Theatre piece right now is Fun Home. (Editor's note: I'm listening to that as I write this!)I've seen it twice and was absolutely blown away
by the raw emotion that those singers were able to convey in such a strong piece of writing.
Could you tell me what your creative process is like?
I could, but then I'd have to kill you. Just kidding. Let's see - I draw from others, I people watch, I listen, I meditate and when it's ready to be channeled, it's channeled.
What are you currently working on and WHY this project?
Currently I am working on a Feature Film script that I wrote, that I will also direct and star in in late spring. Currently, I am making changes to the first draft. I love this project and
love making films and I cannot wait to be on set with this one!

Good management is the key to effective teaching and learning, and largely determines the ethos of a school. In schools where a high priority is given to sensible behaviour, concern for others and the orderly conduct of normal activities, safety is to some extent inherent. In practical activities this ethos forms the basis for safe working practices, but additional codes and constraints may be needed for particular activities. In general, the majority of materials, small tools and equipment used for art and design are perfectly safe, but there is an increasing range of materials and equipment that is potentially hazardous. Whilst much of the advice on specialised equipment and materials applies mainly to secondary schools, the requirements of national curricula or guidelines have the potential to increase the range of work in many primary schools. Primary teachers who are using equipment and materials for the first time should refer to the appropriate sections in this booklet.
Well-organised systematic procedures that contribute to both efficiency and safety should be established. Pupils should have a clear understanding of what they are expected to do and how to do it. Teachers should prepare materials and equipment thoroughly and know what constraints need to be exercised in their use.

Study of nebulization delivery of aerosolized fluorescent microspheres to the avian respiratory tract
Published Date:Jun 2012
Source:Avian Dis. 56(2):381-386.
Personal Authors:
Pubmed ID:22856198
Pubmed Central ID:PMC4451201
Description:This study investigated the delivery of an aerosol of monodisperse microspheres to the respiratory tract of birds following aerosol exposure. Adult domestic pigeons (Columbia livia domestica, n = 5 birds per timed treatment) were exposed to an aerosol of fluorescent 1.0 microm diameter carboxylate microspheres for 0.5, 1, 2, or 4 hr. During the aerosolization period, the birds were free-standing in a plexiglass treatment chamber and the aerosol was delivered using a commercial nebulizer. Immediately following aerosol exposure, the birds were euthanatized and the carcasses were intravenously infused with a modified paraformaldehyde/gluteraldehyde fixative. Evaluation of microsphere distribution was performed using a stereoscopic microscope with an epifluorescent module. The results from this study revealed that the amount of aerosolized particles delivered using a commercial nebulizer was proportional to exposure periods. Aerosol exposure periods of 0.5 hr or 1 hr did not result in a readily observable distribution of 1.0 microm fluorescent microspheres to the cranial thoracic, caudal thoracic, or abdominal air sac membranes. This was partly attributed to the relatively low concentration of the individual monodisperse microspheres in the aerosolized suspension. The 2- and 4-hr exposure periods resulted in readily observable deposition of the 1.0 mirom fluorescent microspheres in the cranial thoracic, caudal thoracic, or abdominal air sac membranes, with the 4-hr exposure period resulting in the greatest number of particles on the membrane surfaces. For each of the exposure periods, there was individual animal variation regarding the distribution and relative number of spheres deposited. This study demonstrates the widespread deposition of particles that had an aerodynamic equivalent diameter of approximately 1 microm and provides a better understanding of particle deposition efficiency within the respiratory system following aerosol exposure in birds.

Artist: Band: Nascent
Album: Nascent [2006]
Label: Independent
Website: http://www.nascentband.com
Genre: Progressive Metal, Jazz Rock, Prog-Rock and Symphonic Prog
Production/Musicianship Grade: 9/10
Songwriting Skills: 8/10
Performance Skill: 8.5/10
CD Review:
Listening to music is a complex process. We have to be able to hold in our memories the notes that have just gone by, as well as the knowledge of all the other musics weve heard in our lives. This is how we grow, how we develop a vocabulary of genres. And this is where we establish the rules about the music we know from what it should sound like, to how long it should be and what instruments are involved.Nascents debut is a complicated and unpredictable listen. While its formula seems familiar, its fusion of progressive metal and jazz-rock plays around with our expectations just enough that everything is a bit surprising. From a distinctly Opeth vibe on one end, to a Miles Davis Bitches Brew freedom on the other, Libor Hadrava and Jeff Briggs have constructed a collection of highly complex pieces that are equal parts beauty and brutality. Unlike the lot whove attached the word fusion to add a sense of prestige to the musically monotonous, Nascent have taken two easily distinguishable genres, fused them together, seamlessly traveling from one polar opposite to the other. The groups self-titled debut is so ambitious and convincing, the bands artistic vision exceeds what can realistically be captured on a CD. Colossal tidal waves of ideas fill every inch of the sonic space, unleashing chaotic bass and electric guitars to inundate anything in their way. All chances of outrunning the flood of instrumentation and virtuosic musicianship are lost, as the onslaught of Hadravas relentless drumming will disorient even the most experienced listeners. Even at the quietest moments, hell introduce spectacular kick drum blasts and symbol mastery thatll punctuate even the most beautiful and relaxed passages with metal fury. The magnitude and compositional genius of his drumming will inspire you to believe that natures own storm force can only be minutes away.Beginning with a funk-jazz guitar groove, Suburban Mornings reveals the albums spartan approach to vocals a few spoken lines by Briggs. Secured by drums for the most part, a dense and powerful ascending guitar line enters at the six-minute mark and signals for the release of an all-out anthemic two-and-a-half minutes of epic blast beats and raging guitar glory. Settling down to survey the damage done, Beyond Logic begins with a classic Opeth Still Life-era progression of clean synth and guitar lines that march slowly along empty streets. The desolation and loneliness of the vacant environment is abruptly broken by an outburst of mountainous metal riffage thats a riot of somber and cinematic instrumental layers. Nascents ability to carefully construct slow-burning atmospheres that are a balance between pounding brutality and inspiring majestic beauty, continues to reappear in tracks like Without Vigil and Heraclitus was Right. When Heraclitus was Right glides seamlessly between genres, the cohesiveness of the statements makes it feel like it had been folded almost casually into the music as though the sudden transitions were there all along. But the stirring sonic power of Nascents debut eventually begins to become a disservice to the album, for two reasons: (1) Briggs decision to sing; and, (2) the lack of a singer. Unlike the proto-prog groups like Pelican and the Red Sparrowes who have steered the instrumental genre towards freeform power-droning anthems, Nascent has, ironically, created restrictions through their choices of song structure. Even considering that they can gracefully change musical outfits without anyone noticing, as soon as Briggs opened the album with a few jazz-rock lines in Suburban Mornings, expectations were created that unfortunately arent filled. There are so many points where death metal growls could have been employed to colour the low end with a force that would border on the indescribable. Granted, the album is a showcase of spectacular instrumental compositions of the highest caliber, but opportunities that were lost in tracks like Synesthesia (particularly at the epic six-minute mark) prevent the album from achieving the full creative status it rightfully deserves.This is a complex yet highly rewarding album thatll no doubt take listeners some time and patience to process. So what happens when musicians defy traditional song structure? As weird and perplexing as it may at first seem, Nascent has proved that song structure doesnt need to be limited to listener preconceptions especially in two genres that are so highly defined. However, the quality of the listening experience can be compromised by unfulfilled expectations when the sound that is anticipated fails to materialize. Although fans of progressive metal will scratch their heads in wonderment as to why there are no vocals, Nascent has come up with some outstanding compositions that are just beyond the logic and rigid confines of the commercial realm. And lets hope it stays that way.The Verdict: 8.5/10For more information, please contact Nascent at email@example.com

Spaceplanes may be the best hope in war on deadly orbiting junk
After the party, there's always the cleanup to take care of. It's no different in space. Earth orbit is littered with derelict satellites, dead rockets and fragments of both that really ought to be tidied up – pushed into the atmosphere to safely incinerate.
The number of countries launching satellites has risen dramatically over the past 50 years. Of the 4300 currently in orbit, only 1200 still work and some of the rest are in pieces, …

weekly menu (mid week)
Two posts in one day! Craziness! Here's the plan for this week.
Sunday: Oscar party!
Dave didn't join so I made up some white bean tomato saucy thing that vaguely resembled a dish from my Spain cookbook.
Monday: Devil's chicken thighs and braised leeks
This recipe was entirely too complicated for a Monday night but I did it anyway and it was worth every ounce of effort. I didn't make the whole recipe but rather guesstimated for two thighs. I did substitute homemade veggie broth and some broth left over from making chickpeas for the chicken broth. Also didn't have any tarragon so I threw in some chervil. seemed good enough! A breakdown of the recipe can be seen here.
Tuesday: Dave's birthday Yeah!
We went to Father's Office for burgers and sweet potato fries.
Wednesday: Red kidney bean curry
This along with some homemade hummus. On a side note, I have come to love the bulk section at whole foods and predict more grains in our future. Even thinking of planting chick pea plants in the garden?! Uncle Allan if your reading this I'm going to need advice.
Thursday: Pasta with beets and greens
The beets at the farmers market have been looking seriously yummy so wanted to work them in this week.
Friday: Turkey cutlets
Adapted from this recipe and planning to serve it with some asparagus and celeriac.

text: Why HR should hire the wildcard In an increasingly mobile market, HR professionals often have a wide pool of talent to choose from when filling a role but one industry expert is urging employers to stop playing it safe and go for a wildcard instead. "It's much easier to hire somebody who has got that relevant experience than to hire somebody who wants to change career," admits Steve Preston. "But are they necessarily the right person for the job?" he asks. Preston, author of Winning Through Career Change, says employers could be missing out on the best-fitted employees just because they're afraid to take a risk. "If you take on somebody who has got that relevant experience, yes they will be able to hit the ground running but they're not necessarily the right person for the job," says Preston. "Just because they have a piece of paper that says they're qualified in this particular type of work or they've had 10 years' experience doesn't mean to say they're the most suitable candidate," he claims. The former HR head acknowledges that certain professions require extensive training and years of experience but says there a plenty of positions which require more easily-attainable skills. "For many service professionals, the reality is, most skills can be learned in which case the differentiator is peoples' personal attributes and their attitude," he told HRM. "Where I think employers can really rethink their strategy is by taking on people who clearly are very well skilled and have some really positive attributes," says Preston. "Especially things like drive, determination, commitment, energy, and willingness to learn – because once you've got somebody with those sorts of attributes than basically they can take on anything." According to Preston, employers stand to see a number of payoffs for taking a risk on an employee who's pursuing a career change. "They will add fresh perspective, new thinking and positive energy into a team," he told HRM. "That positive energy then has a domino effect on others because positive energy tends to be very catching." The one thing employers can be sure of is that if a candidate is pursuing a career change, it's likely they have a personal passion for their prospective line of work – something Preston says is invaluable. "Passion can be absolutely infectious and if you get somebody into a team who is really passionate to make a difference and clearly very motivated, that will have a domino effect onto other people."

I recently, and by recently I mean ten minutes ago, got the chance to watch the documentary Gentleman's Choice. Gentleman's Choice is about the life and death of wrestler "Gentleman" Chris Adams. At his peak, Adams was one of the top stars for World Class Championship Wrestling, wrestling in front of over 40,000 people and feuding with Texas' biggest wrestling starts, the Von Erich Brothers. Adams started out as a judo master, even competing in the 1976 Olympic Games. From there, Adams moved on to pro wrestling, where he had great success in both his native Great Britian and in the United States. Adams was the one that made the superkick popular in pro wrestling, and held many titles in World Class and other territories during the 1980s. However, Adams' life would eventually crumble, and most of this documentary deals with just how low Adams got, up until his death in 2001. A few notes about the film:
- The film was produced by Mickey Grant. Grant's no longer in the wrestling buisness, but he was the main producer for World Class Championship Wrestling in the 1980s, back when the company had the hottest television show in the industry. A large part of that has been credited to the production skills of Mr. Grant. Because of his experience in wrestling, Grant was able to not only use clips of Adams in WCCW, but also scored interviews with such WCCW mainstays as Gary Hart, Killer Brooks, Bill Mercer, and Kevin Von Erich.
- This film is somewhat raw in that some of the interviews take place in strange locales. One guy was interviewed at a Dairy Queen, Adams's friend, an ex-stripper named Laurie Wright, was interviewed in a loud bar during operating hours. My favorite interview locale was with Kevin Von Erich, who did his interviews from what looked like his hot tub. Von Erich wore a mic on a towel and draped it across his shoulders, sitting in the water with a mic wired to him. To his credit, Von Erich was rather informative and seemed clear-headed, but I found it odd that he did his interview chilling in his hot tub.
- The film isn't a wrestling film, per se. Sure, it deals with a wrestler, but it seems to be more of a tale of how his life fell apart and how drugs and other forces brought Chris Adams down. The film does show clips of Adams wrestling, and shows a little about Adams' wrestling school, which produced Steve Austin, but other than that, it's mainly more of a cautionary tale than it is wrestling documentary.
- Adams actually was an architect working for the government before he started his pro wrestling career. As his parents told it, Chris just came by one day and told them he'd be wrestling, so be sure to turn on the television. Things sure would have been different if Adams had stuck to architecture.
- Some of the people in Adams' life weren't the type of people you would want to hang out with, to put it nicely. Adams seemed to have a lot of hangers on who were just using him due to his celebrity. One of which was a guy that called himself John "Raven" Wyner, who was accused by another interview subject of supplying Adams with drugs. A couple of the interview subjects seemed to be on something while being interviewed, such as Laurie, who was speaking a mile a minute most of the time and was acting very jumpy the whole time she was on camera.
- Although everyone talks about how nice of a person Adams was and how he was this and that, Chris Adams had some serious problems. On more than one occasion he was arrested due to his explosive temper, including an incident where he choked a co-captain on a plane in 1986. Adams became an alcoholic and addicted to the drug GHB, which according to the expert Grant interviewed, can really mess you up. It's likely that on the night he died, Adams was high on GHB.
- Adams' life quickly fell apart in 2000, after his girlfriend at the time (Linda Kaphengst) overdosed on GHB and eventually died due to the overdose. A woman named Miss Lacy, whom Adams had fired from his promotion due to a big mess that involved the movie "Beyond the Mat", took it upon herself to try and get the police involved in the investigation. When Adams threatened another woman to do to her what he "did to Linda", the woman called Lacy, who informed the police. Eventually, Adams was charged with one count of manslaughter, and was awaiting trail for that charge at the time of his death. Things got so heated that according to one source, Adams tried to hire a hitman to kill Lacy.
- One of the more interesting things about the film is that they interview Brent "Booray" Parnell, the man that actually killed Chris Adams. According to Parnell, the two were watching a movie in Parnell's room when Adams just went beserek. Things escalated, and according to Parnell's testimony, it seemed as if Adams was trying to choke him to death. Finally, Parnell grabbed a pistol and after unsuccessfully trying to get Adams off of him by hitting him with the butt of the gun, he fired the pistol, killing Adams. Parnell actually gave a rough reenactment of what happened on that fateful night, although he seemed so blasted during his interviews that it kind of hurts his credibility. Nevertheless, it's a sad ending for a man that once wrestled in front of such large crowds and stayed in the finest hotels, that he died in a one-story house of a friend who lived with his mother at the time.
This is not a happy story by any stretch of the imagination. A man who once was at the top of his profession, making all sorts of money, lost it all and died tragically, leaving behind three kids and a boatload of questions. Grant does a skillful job of telling this tragic tale, crafting hours and hours of interview footage into a story that really makes you think. It's not pretty, and you will come away with some questions at the end, but overall it's a film worth seeing. I'll give it a 7.19 out of 10.
Well, thanks for reading, and if you have any thoughts on this post, or any ideas for future posts, than share them either by leaving a comment or by e-mail at email@example.com.

Cherry Pie
Click below to hear me read this poem.
Atop a glass pedestal
Transparent dome to shield
Berries glistening invite your eye
Fragrant fruit entices
Served up like a piece
Of pie
Pass it to the left
Plenty to go around
Just carve her into smaller bits
To refuse is not her nature
Plunge your fork in deep
Confection to please the masses
What, too sweet?
Too tart?
Push back your plate
Your palate dictates
Your pleasure, as ever
The only goal
Condemned not for what she does
But what she doesn't do
Live up to your
Lovely words but tinged with a certain sadness. Makes me think of prostitutes and strippers, divied up and used up until nothing is left. But, on a surface level, this makes me hungry -- I'm starving.
That pie is hot in more ways than first expected,I had to slow down and take from the top numerous times to get it's full and mysteriously,multilayer flavors....LOL
thanks for sharing this hub of cherry pie Randy Behavior!:D
Not only did this make me hungry, I also got mildly disturbed and attracted. Hmmm...there ya go, up to your Randy Behavior. ;)
Your words mesmerize. Love the cherry pie picture too!
As long as I'm not #2....oooooh...I'll be #3. My favorite # anyway. Put me down as like the other Avatar better.
Number one is YOU, you silly! :-)
Randy, don't always listen to what people (myself included) tell you! ;-)
Randy, that shot was mostly about legs -- you ain't seen my real six pack, shesh I couldn't find the ONE photo that proves I had it in me! But sent some nice "replacements" to KCC to prove my point!
Still, you're sexier, goddamit! Laugh!
Well, that image on top sure challenged any further reading! Gosh if that doens't make one salivate... then again, if one reads, one's bound to salivate, too :-)
Very sexy, your new avatar!
Ohhh Randy forgive me for making it sound so wicked, did it come out that way?, ohhhh, I had no idea ROFL. :) I am but a innocent wee blonde....
To share a dessert with Christoph... *sigh*..
"Oh my...I do like Cherry Pie!" However...as in the case with Lollipops...Now...I will be wondering through images of plunging my fork in deep...the next time I am treated to Cherry Pie. You have quite a way with edible topics, RB!
I could do with some pie right now with a little cream mmmmm. Finger licking good.
As with all things, it's how we look at them. If we ever stop to do so. Nice! :D
I love it the ironey at the end..."Live up to your expectations". randy, I am so glad that you and I have never met in person..the fantasy of you would ruin any such union. Fantasy is always far and away grearer than reality, but without dreams we would stilll be finger painting on cave walls. Your Rock Girl!
I read this without the sexual connotation first, and figured you must have somehow gotten access to what's going on in my head.
The second time I read it, my husband wanted to know why I kept saying "Wow".
ah Christoph is quite the poet too, I see ;)
great poem Randy! I liked this a lot :D
A pie
Sliced, whipped or beaten
Loves nothing more
Than to be eaten
I see your poetry HAS been going well, and this entry to your growing body of work does not disappoint, but refreshes, titillates, and satiates.
Cherry Pie and Randy behavior. Hmmm what a combo. As with most foods, the pie must be savored. Eaten with relish. So tantalizing on the tongue. The plate licked clean with abandon. Foods to be eaten deserve appreciation for sliding onto the plate. I could go for a slice of pie now. Ala mode or Ala carte. ;)
It's good to be on good terms with your dessert of choice.. makes it much more enjoyable!
The character tragic
The verse lovely
The poetess sublime
The poem vivid
The reader enjoyed
Tragic and lovely.
I like pie. =]
I know, right! But it's time for a change!! Wonder if saltines have a problem with being stuffed in mouths in groups of 7 then being whistled out by 8 year olds at camp.
Ms.Behavior, Me thinks RBlue had his mouse in his hand the whole time he was reading it..Kinda like a game show - the first one to buzz in wins!! LOL.. anyhooo, back to the pie.. cherry, my personal favorite, but now I will wonder what the pie is thinking! I'm too curious.. just eat the pie and enjoy it would be the sweetest thing of all.. Crap that didn't come out the way I intended either!
Beat me to it RB, I think I need to rewrite my hub on the great British Dessert Trifle!
Another great one RB...have been reading some of your others as well...will comment later. Just wanted to be the first here for you like you have been for me in the past. I see that said in my fan section each time I look at my profile :-)

Keyframing and Production Planning
October 28, 2016 in ENO Project
Our group had a meeting with the ENO clients last Wednesday. Zuzanna and I stayed on Tuesday until late into uni trying to figure out how we could change some scenes for the better in our Animatic. We also discussed what we could do layoutwise to put into the newer animatic as a comparation how the final screenshot are going to look like.
When we showed Chris and Natasha on Wednesday our animatic, they seemed to like it which was good because we did not need to change the storyboard anymore.
What we need to focus now is to time the animation and shot change with the music we chose for it. Also we need to find a fitting piece for the beginning as for the animation to work better. Another issue we need to focus, is where exactly in the animation the dream- like sequence starts.
Next week on Monday Zuzanna and me are going to meet up and work out the issue with timing for our animatic.
Zuzanna and me realised that we could do something with the Chess floor and make an appearance for it since the beginning.
Thursday we acted out the entire storyboard and also started keyframing some shots. Fan does the keyframes for Partenope, I do the ones for Rosmira/Eurimene and Zuzanna keyframes Arsace.
Kelvin is in charge of animating some of the effects and Valerio will Keyframe the suitors and helped to create the Layout pan for the shadow chase.
I listed in the meantime every shot for the animation so I can put a Production Plan with deadlines on the weekend, because the deadlines are not too far away:
25th November: Neat Cut (meet with client)
9th December: DEADLINE – HAND IN
13th December: Show
