It's finally strawberry season! One of the things I love the most about summertime is the depth of flavor and texture of its seasonal produce. As wonderful as it all is, I must say that the seasonal berries excite me the most-BY FAR! The just-sweet-enough flavors and perfectly juicy textures are simply impossible to be matched at any other time of year, so I'm planning on taking advantage of them as much as possible while I can! Simple seasonal fruit bowls, alone, are a treat, but there's no way that I can even look at a bowl of berries without experiencing the urge to bake with them! Enter strawberry buckwheat muffins.
Regardless of what I am baking, I always aim to achieve an all-around delicious product, while using the most nutrient-dense ingredients possible. Selecting flour, a significant component to many baked goods, can be intimidating here, especially in the world of gluten-free baking. I have a few favorite flours that I prefer to use most due to the combination of flavors, textures, and overall nutrient-density that they provide. Though the flavor is highly distinct, buckwheat is always on the top of my list.
Packed with protein, fiber, essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals, Buckwheat is a nutritional powerhouse. Due to its high nutrient profile, this ingredient has been shown to reduce blood pressure, reduce the incidence of chronic illness and pain, and promote glowing skin and hair! Oh, and don't be fooled by the name- buckwheat is not related to wheat at all (it is actually a fruit seed more closely related to rhubarb)!
Although I had never paired the two together before, I had a gut feeling that the flavors of buckwheat and strawberry would compliment each other well. Fortunately, my instinct was correct- these muffins were a huge hit with my family's taste buds! Spencer loved the strawberry and chocolate combination, and said that they were "by far, the best muffins [he'd] ever had!" Basic pumpkin and blueberry muffins will always have my heart, but I may have to agree with Spencer here. These strawberry treats put up a REALLY good fight.
- 1 cup buckwheat flour
- 1/2 cup oat flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
- 2 flax eggs
- 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups organic strawberries, diced
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or grease with coconut oil.
- Stir together dry ingredients in a large bowl.
- Beat together flax eggs, coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla in a separate bowl. Pour mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. Stir in 1 cup strawberries and chocolate chips.
- Divide batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups (using about 1/4 cup batter per muffin). Top each with the remaining strawberry pieces and some extra chocolate chips. Bake for about 22 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow muffins to sit in the pan for at least 10 minutes, then remove to wire racks to cool. Enjoy!

A nice mix of news to get you through the morning, as the C's prepare for their potential first round playoff preview with the Philadelphia 76ers tonight.
We'll start with KG's latest ANTA blog (h/t: ESPNBoston) where the Big Ticket vents about losing Shaq and reflects about getting back JO amongst other things. Here's an excerpt:
I know I haven't written since the Spurs game, so my bad. It was the first game for JO in a while, so was pumped to have him back with us. Spurs game was like a playoff game. We "hit" each other back and forth and both teams took the shots. Rondo was super intense and brought it! Great TEAM effort and body feeling good. The guys got me in the right spot to make shots and so I had to knock them down. Great energy in the lockerroom.
Bad part was the back to back in Atlanta. We started out ok, but then started to get out of what we do. We weren't getting stops and taking early shots. Frustration is definitely setting in for some of the guys, but we'll meet and get it together.
Tonight we had Detroit and the BIG Diesel was back! It was great to have him back and seeing him ball. He was killin it, then he pulled up! Damn, hurt again! That sucks! Keep rooting for him to get right!!! We won the game, obviously, but lost Diesel. This time of year we are trying to get ready for the playoffs, but it's tough to get rest when we have 7 games in the next 10 days! We gotta finish strong, so we can get right for the playoffs.
Here's the latest on Shaq via Steve Bulpett of The Boston Herald who could return as early as Friday against the Wizards on the second half of back-to-back:
"We don't have to rush him," Ray Allen said. "But there is going to be a point where length is going to be important and we need him."
Rivers isn't about to fuel the fires in potential first-round opponents Philadelphia (tonight's foe) or New York, but he knows his lads may have to deal with some rough road if they are to complete the trip to the NBA Finals.
"The bottom line is we have to be ready for whatever happens, and our team will be ready for whatever happens," the coach said.
As for talk of shutting Shaq down until the postseason, Rivers said, "If that's what it requires. We're going to do whatever they tell us is required. Other than that, I would love to play him a couple of games.
"It's just a calf strain and not that bad, not that severe. He may play at the end of the week; we're just not sure yet. Eddie (Lacerte, team trainer) and (team physician Dr. Brian) McKeon thought (it's a) minor injury, not a big deal — except for it's Shaq, he's big and he's 30-whatever (39)."
The coach has said he needs at least one O'Neal, but he'd like a full house of Shaq and Jermaine, with a side order of Nenad Krstic and, of course, the indispensable Glen Davis.
"When they're all there, I like them," Rivers said. "I just want them all to be there. I think they will be; I really do.
"I don't know if it'll be with games played going into it, but if that's what it is, you've just got to deal with that. But I do think they'll all be there."
Prediction here we see him for the team's final two games of the regular season (Washington and New York) in order to help him get geared up for the postseason run. Shaq's presence would appear to be much more useful in a series against the Sixers than the Knicks who really have no bulk to threaten the C's inside besides A'mare. I wonder how the seeding dictates (if at all) how the team proceeds with him for the first round and beyond.
Finally, Troy Murphy and Nenad Krstic are both probable tonight after going through practice yesterday in Waltham, giving the team as close to a healthy 15-man roster, since the opening days of the season. Here's Chris Forsberg from ESPNBoston.com with a full update on both big men:
Murphy, who rolled the ankle during a practice on March 24, had worn an immobilizing boot early on, but expressed a desire to get back on the floor Tuesday.
"I'm hoping," said Murphy. "I got through practice today and hopefully [Tuesday] morning I'll wake up and it doesn't blow up on me."
Murphy tried to maximize the time away from the team, digging further into the playbook, hoping that will aid his cause upon return.
"I tried to make the most of it," said Murphy. "I watched the games, figured out the calls and stuff like that."
Krstic is probably the less likely of the two to rush back on the floor. While ecstatic that the injury was much less severe than he previously imagined — the bone bruise revealed by an MRI in Boston on Saturday — Krstic admitted he was a bit hesitant on the floor Monday.
"It's still in my head a little bit," admitted Krstic. "There were times I might have been a little afraid to jump. But I'll be ready. In practice, [the knee] felt fine."
Said Rivers of Krstic: "We'll wait [until Tuesday morning to decide], obviously. I thought Nenad was tentative, honestly. But he got through the whole practice; That was great. So we'll see [Tuesday]."
Added Rivers on Murphy: "If he can play, we'll play him. Again, we've got to make sure [he's healthy]. He went through the whole practice and you never know what happens overnight with an ankle and swelling and all that."
Finally, a long overdue tip of the cap to Satch Sanders who was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame yesterday. Bob Ryan over at The Boston Globe had a terrific writeup on Satch this morning:
Satch Sanders likewise did the dirty work for the Celtics. What Red Auerbach, Bill Russell, and Tom Heinsohn wanted out of him was to guard the other team's high-scoring forward, hit the boards, set picks, and snack on a few offensive crumbs here and there. Somebody had to do it, and Sanders did it well enough to help those '60s Celtics teams win eight championships.
No man could be more comfortable in his own skin or be more realistic about just where he fits into the Big Scheme Of Things in both Celtics and NBA history. He was not a star. He never even had a faint sniff of an All-Star appearance. He was a worker bee, and he was, well, cool with that.
That's why this Hall of Fame thing will take a while to settle in.
"I never expected this,'' he said. "Not after all those years went by and all the others went in. I figured the time had certainly passed for me. The reality is that I'm catching up to the other guys again. That's the truth of it.''
By "the others'' he means the 11 teammates of the '60s and '70s (he played from 1960-73) who have preceded him in Springfield. The only prominent members of the bunch that won every available title in the '60s, except for 1967, who do not reside in the Hall of Fame are Jim Loscutoff and Don Nelson (who may yet be enshrined as a coach)
Much more on the way later today…..

text: RUGBY league great Andrew Johns today ruled out a State of Origin comeback and said he was only committed to his NRL club Newcastle Knights. The champion halfback denied a News Limited report which said he was contemplating a return for New South Wales this year. Johns retired from representative football prior to last year's Origin series won by Queensland. While he admitted it was difficult watching the Blues surrender the Origin trophy, the 32-year-old confirmed he was not interested in playing for the Blues this year. Johns said his Knights' contract has a clause preventing him from playing representative football and his main concern is winning another NRL premiership. "There's a clause in my contract saying I cannot play rep football which pretty much puts it to bed," Johns told Southern Cross Radio. "I'm more interested in just playing for the Knights and hopefully winning a premiership in one of my last years." Johns is contracted to Newcastle until the end of 2008, although it is possible he could retire at the end of this year and finish his career in the UK.

Lime interview - Theatre
Dawn Reid
words by
EDITOR - Vernia Mengot
Associate Director at Theatre Royal Stratford East, Dawn Reid talks to Lime about work on 'The Harder They Come
Dawn Reid has a remarkable list of accreditations within the theatre industry, through her all-embracing work in performance, directing and producing. Recently she has been co-directing 'The Harder They Come' and ahead of the opening at the end of this month, Dawn talk's rehearsals, preparations and the Olympics.
You have an extensive association in performing arts, producing and directing have you always had passion for a career in theatre?
For me- yes I suppose I have. It started back at school; I was very lucky to have a fantastic drama teacher; who is still my friend and mentor. It's a bit of a cliché, as drama has been a saviour since then. I knew I felt comfortable.
One of your theatre credits includes working as associate director on Avenue Q, that must have been quite an experience; Tell us more.
It was the most fantastic time; it was a long process because it came off Broadway, and so I worked with the first original cast for the West End. It was a long process doing auditions and recalls, puppet workshops; where actors had to learn how to work with puppets, as none of them had done it before. I worked with a great guy who had worked with Disney. It was the first big show I was associate director for. I looked after the show once the American team had gone. It was a lovely cast; everyday was different, when you have a great script and great songs it. It was a great experience for me, a learning experience.
What is one of the hardest things about working in theatre?
I suppose if I'm really honest the thing about theatre, is that the shows are in the evening, directing/ rehearsing all day. It can take up your hours, so it falls into your personal life. Lots of my friends are part of what I do. There are Pros and cons, but you do it because you love it. I'm lucky I'm doing a job that I really love, so I'm blessed.
What's one thing you know now about working in theatre that you wish you knew when you first embarked on your career?
I suppose it's such an education for me, you're always learning. I don't think I would have known anything before. You've got to give it one hundred percent. Always learning skills things you learn along the way.
You are co-creator of Spoke-Lab with Roger Robinson; tell us what Spoke –Lab all about?
Spoke lab started out of spoke fest, back in 2006, which was a festival of spoken word. Roger Robinson I'd known from previous work, he is a performer, poet, writer and musician. He's a great mentor and teacher. The festival was for two weeks, with a slam championship at the end for unknown spoken word artists.
I created one show with a group of the guys, who were fantastic artists and still are. We were very interested in mixing theatre and spoken word. In 2006/07, we looked at how do we could take this further, we came up with Spoke-Lab, it was to be a space, a lab, a safe secure and creative place for artists to question, play, workshop ideas and learn new skills.
Hopefully we can bring that in again.
You were awarded with a Carlton Multicultural Achievement Award for performing arts, how does it feel?
I was very taken back actually because you do what you do and of course you hope they have a great show. When People outside the biz see that, it boosts you and also you see people get it. I was honoured.
Tell us something we don't know about you.
I love sci-fi, I love my Underworld and the vampire thing, the Twiglight thing. I can't wait for Prometheus to come out.
Recently you have been working on 'The Harder They Come', out this month at Stratford East. How are the preparations going?
This time we are doing a concert version, it's stripped back, not the full version. We only had a week to rehearse; its part of the Open Stage initiative about allowing the audience and community to choose what they want to see on stage. We were not able to do big productions but we did concerts. The Harder They Come, has rhythm, flow and energy, and brings culture onto the main stage. We are lucky that we were able to do that, Kerry Michael co directs.
You must have a busy year ahead of you, what else are you working on?
We don't start Hard until the end of the month. It's been a busy year so far, we are right in the middle of the Olympics; a lot of the countries will take over a building, we going to have Nigeria with us. So it will be Nigeria house, this will help promote cultural events, in music, fashion, and we will create a couple of programs. Legacy is really important to us, 30 Nigeria House will give £3,000 to 30 emerging 18-35 year old artists from the UK and Nigeria. That is exciting.
I have Panto this year, so look forward to that, I've got Jack and the Beanstalk, with a new writer called Paul Sirett, he wrote The Big Life and he helped on the show Come Dancing. It's his first Panto. We have original music and songs; we take the story with a bit of a twist.
When you're not working what are some of your favourite things to do?
You know what I sound so boring, I catch up with my friends and family, I've got lots of nieces and God-children, my mum is my role model she is just amazing. They root me back down again. And Sleep [laughs].
Remarkable Men: Who in the theatre industry do you think is a remarkable male?
It hard for me, I think that our black actors work hard. They have to work twice as hard, actors by right have to work hard. And for male actors like Idris Elba, who have done their time here and weren't getting the stuff they need and have to go to the States to work their socks off there and then they come back here and then it's like "Hi, you can do your thing now." They are all remarkable. The Adrian Lester's, men from back in the day like Victor Romero Evans and Eddie Nestor, there's a whole generation of guys; they are out there and we know, but not everyone knows about them.
Info: The Harder They Come Concert will be performed on 29 & 30 June Friday 7.30pm & Saturday 2pm & 7.30pm at Theatre Royal Stratford East.

An example of automation is the self-checkout machines you see in supermarkets. However, these machines are not as advanced as future automations are projected to be, eg robots serving meals in restaurants, working in factories, and involved transportation and storage work.
A debatable topic is whether technology will eventually go too far, as there appears to be an unstoppable international drive in developing new technologies.
However there are many jobs that are unlikely to be fully automated, such as in health and social care. They require human intelligence.
Nonetheless, there will be a massive variety of future jobs that don't currently exist today. These could be designing and maintaining the mechanics and software of robots, including future updates.
What I think
I believe that robots could be more efficient, reliable and economical than humans in many important jobs. I would be quite interested in getting a job to program robots.
In the words of Michael Jones, an assistant professor in economics at the University of Cincinnati, "Yes, the robots will steal our jobs. And that's fine."

In case you haven't heard, my new middle-grade novel is out. Zach Ziegler's So-Called Middle School Life hit shelves on July 21. This was a story I had wanted to write for a long time, and there is a lot of myself in it. No swashbuckling adventures or hidden mysteries, but there is plenty of middle school angst.
The Island will make its debut next month, and I'm eager to share it with my beta readers very soon. I have put off writing the cover blurb as I am right smack in the middle of a pitches and blurbs workshop taught by Dean Wesley Smith, and I want to make sure I use everything I've learned and get it right. The next step is editing and cover design, and those are always fun times for me. (I know, who enjoys editing?)
Work is progressing on my latest excursion into horror, right now called The Devil's Catacombs. I'm about 10,000 words into it and really enjoying creating the characters and their situation. I have decided that writing from now on is going to be all about having fun. I'm no longer going to brood over and second-guess myself on every word and sentence; as I have learned, writing and editing are two separate things, and it's hard to let your creativity flow when the critical side of your brain is trying to filter it. As a result of this "revelation" I am writing more and finishing projects quickly. And I'm having a ball. I find myself really looking forward to my weekend writing sessions and not dreading my time sitting in front of the computer. When it ceases to be fun is when I'll stop. And I don't see that happening any time soon.
Because of this new creative renaissance, I've mapped out some goals for myself for the next six to eight months. They're lofty goals, and if I had written them down this time last year it would have terrified me. But now I believe they are not only doable but practical. You see, my goal is to one day financially support my family with only my writing, and to do that, I've got to keep putting new work out there for readers to discover. So that's what I'm doing – writing the best stories I can, packaging them up in the most professional manner possible, pricing them correctly, and getting the word out. I am so glad to be living in this time of independent publishing in which it can happen. And thanks to you, my readers, for helping make it possible.

THERE is an 'enormous' waiting list for social housing in Rye says East Sussex County Council leader Keith Glazier.
Cllr Glazier believes the sale of the former Tilling Green School will help ease the problem and provide a new community facility for residents.
He said: "The old school building is currently costing Rye Partnership money to run."
Bidding for the site opens on January 6 and a marketing booklet is available from the county council.
Cllr Glazier said: "The council will be open to bids which will be judged and assessed by officers.
"The county council has put someone in the building who can answer questions."
Addressing concerns over flood risks at the site, Cllr Glazier said: "Issues such as flood risk will be dealt with during planning.
"It will all be subject to a planning application where people will be able to comment."
He added: "This is a good news story for Rye. If people get behind it we can have an affordable and sustainable facility for Tilling Green. It will be an opportunity to draw down as much as we can for Rye."
Cllr Mary Smith said: "The idea of an independent person overseeing things would be good.
"We are concerned about the type of housing that could be going there and getting the right facilities for the people of Tilling Green."
Anthony Kimber said: "There are lots of tensions at Tilling Green - the needs of the community, the need for the developer to make money and the needs of the county council."

Since the play ends with the apparent death of Joe Keller, what happens next?
- print Print
- list Cite
Your question brings to light an interesting aspect of Miller's play: he leaves us to ponder what might happen next. By all accounts, we do believe that Joe Keller has killed himself, so that leaves us to look at the other characters and their future. Kate Keller has lost her husband but might have gained back her life. She can now go forward knowing and accepting that Larry is truly dead. She can also live without the guilt and lies that surrounded Joe's role in killing the pilots of those planes. When we take a look at Chris and Annie, we are left to wonder if they will stick around. Chris had effectively severed ties with his father in hopes of having a future with Annie. Joe's death frees Annie and Chris, much like it frees Kate. They can move on with their life together and don't have to worry about Kate's disapproval. It is a tragic ending for Joe, but it could be looked at as a new beginning for the rest of the Keller family.

Weimar Republic
The Weimar Republic (or the German Reich, by its official name) was formed in 1919 to replace the imperial form of government at the end of World War One. It was named after the city of Weimar, where the constitutional assembly to establish the Republic took place.
In the aftermath of World War One, the Weimar Republic had numerous problems to contend with, such as hyperinflation, suppressing political extremists and maintaining turbulent relationships with the war's Allies. Conversely, successes and reforms in Germany were achieved under the Republic. These included the reformation of the currency and some reductions to the harsh terms of the Treaty of Versailles. As a result of the Republic, the Treaty's requirements for Germany's disarmament were never fully met, and Germany only ever paid back a fraction of the concessions it was due to pay to other countries.
The Weimar Republic began to decline from 1930, when President Hindenburg assumed emergency powers to support the Chancellor's administration. This was followed by the Great Depression, which saw a huge surge in unemployment and a disastrous policy of deflation. It was during this time that the relatively small National Socialist (Nazi) party began to gather more votes after promising to improve Germany's situation.

Jessica's Five Food Groups
Jessica's Five Food Groups
After seeing Jessica in Puerto Rico with Derek we were all dying to know her diet secrets. We always see her working out but recently she told In Touch that she also keeps fit by eating whole-wheat pasta, chicken, veggies, and fruit six days a week! That's got to get tiring so on the seventh day she treats herself to a piece of dark chocolate. "I think everything in moderation is the key," the 24-year-old star says. "Don't overload on sugar and carbs." So that's what it takes to look like that!

I never found myself a fan of Oneohtrix Point Never (but Pitchfork sure slobbers all over the guy) but the EP from Games, "That We Can Play" is a pure delight. I find that it is a bit darker than most people are saying but the words 'retro' 'throwback' and 'nostalgic' are some descriptors I suppose I can agree with. Either way these guys have a hell of a lot of talent and every song on the EP is worthwhile. Buy it via hipposandtanks.

The Syria Files
Thursday 5 July 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing the Syria Files – more than two million emails from Syrian political figures, ministries and associated companies, dating from August 2006 to March 2012. This extraordinary data set derives from 680 Syria-related entities or domain names, including those of the Ministries of Presidential Affairs, Foreign Affairs, Finance, Information, Transport and Culture. At this time Syria is undergoing a violent internal conflict that has killed between 6,000 and 15,000 people in the last 18 months. The Syria Files shine a light on the inner workings of the Syrian government and economy, but they also reveal how the West and Western companies say one thing and do another.

2012 Meredith Music Festival
This year's Meredith Music Festival takes place on the 7th, 8th and 9th of December and promises to be the biggest ever. The festival has sold out far in advance and it is no wonder with the amazing line up of talent booked.
Some of the names appearing at this year's festival include Tame Impala, Grimes, Omar Souleyman, Itch-e & Scratch-e, Primal Scream and Spirtualized. Legendary Australian acts like the Sunnyboys and Regurgitator are also expected to be crowd favourites with a huge back catalogue of monster hits.
The Meredith Music Festival is regarded by many of one of the best festivals on the Australian festival calendar, set in an amazing setting with a natural amphitheatre amongst farmland the 2012 festival marks its 22nd year. The setting has some magnificent old trees including enormous ghost gums and tall pines that give the setting a magnificent atmosphere amongst the stage smoke and lighting.
Once again the annual Meredith Gift will be a star event of the festival this year, Last year the gift ended up a dead heat and was commentated by sports broadcaster Dennis Cometti it will be interesting to see who this year's special guest is. The fun takes place at 2 P.M. on the Sunday.
The Meredith Skyshow is another tradition of the festival that is a bit special, over the years there has been laser shows, light shows, visits from space ships and even astronauts suspended over the crowd. It will be interesting to see what happens this year.
Other highlights back this year will be the Pink Flamingo Bar and Eric's Terrace a place to kick back have a coffee or something to eat. For a great overview of the festival grounds take a trip on the Meredith Eye. This 60 foot high Ferris wheel gives spectacular views of the site and the surrounding farmland.
Meredith is about half an hour's drive from central Geelong. It is located on the Ballarat Road about half way between Geelong and Ballarat. There will be ample signs around Meredith to direct you to the festival grounds.
For those lucky enough to have tickets for the 2012 Meredith Music Festival- enjoy!

A criminologist may be most interested in the way particular cultures and
subcultures define crime, how they produce criminals, and how they deal with
A great deal of criminological research focuses on the origins or causes of various
forms of crime. Criminological research has helped our society to understand how
cultural and social factors influence criminal behavior. As a part of understanding
what motivates criminal behavior, criminologists also analyze the behaviors and
methods of known criminals.
Criminologists are also responsible for measuring the amount of crime locally,
nationally and sometimes on a global scale. In these situations, criminologists will
frequently work closely alongside law enforcement agencies in order to determine
a statistical number for crimes committed.
Using the data that they generate
through research, criminologists
can also work towards finding
reasonable and workable proposals
for the prevention and control of
crime in society.
Enforcement to Crime
Criminologists are also responsible for
analyzing the responsiveness of law
enforcement officials and study the criminal
behaviors. If officials do not persecute
criminals, the laws intended to deter them
will likely not succeed. Criminologists will
often analyze the legal institutions in
society that are set up in order to maintain
peace and order and reduce crime.
Analyzing the Rehabilitation of
Another important duty attributed to
criminologists is analyzing the
effectiveness of rehabilitation and
correctional programs for criminals.
Certain treatment programs are
designed to help criminals
understand the psychological and
social causes of their criminal
Analyzing The Criminal's Role in
One of the most interesting tasks for a criminologist is analyzing the criminal's role in
society. Not only do criminologists attempt to understand what role these deviant
individuals play in our society, they also analyze how society and the media respond to
criminals existing in our society such as the apparent discrepancy between how individuals
treat criminals who commit street crimes versus those who commit white-collar crimes.

It is this lack of basic factual common ground that can lead to our world becoming much more complicated than it needs to be. The key to Richard's presentation was the formula he suggested for reconstituting the structure of our democracy in the UK, from local councils, through to regional assemblies, right on to Parliament. The fact that, on average, each MP in Westminster represents 90,000 people demonstrates how overstaffed our Government really is. To bring it down to a series of regions: each of half a million people and each sending two MPs to London, would bring us down to around 250 reps rather than the near-700 we have now seems not only sensible but obvious. And, if for any reason you wanted a referendum, just get ten percent of locals to call for one and away you go – true democracy.
As this was the first time I had attended the Symposium, Richard Smith's was an interesting way to start proceedings - very much a case of there being plenty of good ideas and stimulating thought provoking concepts and outlooks on offer.
Our next speaker, Anthony James, amazed us with 3D photography of the various crop circles that have appeared around the place in the last few years. Most people have an immediate reaction that such things were proved to be 'man made' years ago – unfortunately, the "Doug and Dave" who have apparently created dozens of these all over the country - and by association the ones all over the world - are somewhat hampered by the fact one of them has been dead for the last 14 years!
Indeed, considering these crop circles have been around for decades, the fact they said at the time of their 'revelation' back in 1992, that they had been doing them for 13 years, simply made the nature of their suggestions completely ludicrous. Indeed, minor impossibilities that what they said they had done with just boards, rollers and string was in itself totally ridiculous shows how easily people are prepared to accept outrageous explanations over genuine mystery. This gives you a clue as to why people can be so easily conned in this topsy-turvy world of ours.
2009 is already a significant year for new crop circle formations with over 60 to date reported and logged. Find out more at www.cropcircleconnector.com.
Needless to say, the '3D' experience of Anthony's images, brought vividly to life thanks to the audience being given those glasses with red and blue lenses to look through, made it very difficult to explain away the crop circle phenomenon. What you have to ask yourself, given the visually stunning nature of these formations, is why the mainstream media makes no mention of them these days? In essence, their discrediting of them is, in itself, discredited by all the science surrounding the exploration of these circles.
Friday afternoon began with a talk by Natasha Wardle, asking the question "Could Mary Magdalene have come to Glastonbury". Indeed, this was answered by a discovery of arcane 'graffiti' which could have been interpreted as support for such a proposition.
Up next was Brian Gerrish, ex-Naval officer and also a speaker at AV2 earlier this year. Brian was conscious of the time, having dramatically over-run at The Alternative View event, but his talk was so much better for that discipline, as he injected a pace that reflected the urgency of the task at hand – revealing that a secret alternative government has been put in place within the UK, all to ease us into the state of fully integrating into the European Union – a process that will take away our rights to democratic free elections. This is all co-ordinated by 'graduates' of a 'charity' called Common Purpose, who have been prepared for running the country 'outside authority' using the worst excesses of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (or BRAINWASHING combined with HYPNOTISM as it should really be known).
Brian's evidence for this is compelling, as is the other strand of his campaigning – which is making people aware that there is an unfolding conspiracy between public authorities, Social Services, the Police, courts and Government to unlawfully take children from their parents, and pass them into a frightening and often abusive Social Services system. This system is so powerful that local councillors cannot challenge their own Social Services departments about their actions. Strong stuff, but don't take his word for it, check out the evidence.
Next up was the UK premiere of the movie "What on Earth?" by producer/director Suzanne Taylor. Picking up again on the crop circle phenomenon, this was a wonderfully balanced look into the history of crop circles, and presented the questions that simply cannot be answered by a traditional five-sense level of thinking. As the movie notes, it's easy to sling ad hominem attacks at people who are fascinated by these extraordinarily accurate geometric patterns, but it becomes less easy to explain when the facts are investigated objectively (something that is true of so many aspects of conspiracy investigation). This is a documentary everyone should at least take a chance to see at least once.
A break for dinner, well served by central Glastonbury's range of pubs and restaurants, and it was back for relaxing harp music of an incredible range from John Dalton, before the Friday evening's "Open Forum". I have to say, I think opening the weekend with an array of speakers on stage from across the forthcoming programme as well as the first day's entertainment is probably ill-advised. Those new to the subject matter won't know who most of those on stage are, and equally those speakers yet to present their material will be at the disadvantage of giving away some of their forthcoming presentations.
Matters weren't helped by the number of speaker-specific questions that came out. When Cult TV's Festivals used to have its "Mega Panels", initially they ran aground as the more anorak-orientated would continue to ask intense queries aimed specifically at one guest or another. This left everyone else twiddling thumbs or filing nails. It was only when generic questions that all panellists could have a go at answering that things really became fun for speakers and audience alike. Perhaps something I think the Symposium needs to consider for next year as a directive to be suggested to the audience? As it was, the only really lively part of the session was when Ian R Crane got into an argument with an audience member who couldn't grasp Ian's contention that some of the green/spiritual movement had been created, rather than having emerged from the grass roots, so as to form a 'controlled opposition'.
Indeed, one has to consider how much of the current fuss over Obama's birth certificate fits itself into being a 'honey trap' to blast away elements of resistance. Local Hawaiian newspapers of the time have appeared that show the birth notices for the Pres, so why does the story begin to rumble on? Laws have been made on-the-hoof to ensure that Obama can stop anyone from getting hold of his long-form birth certificate. This is such an inherently stupid thing to do that it must be a trap. If there's no mention of Kenya on that document, then that's the end of it.
But the Pres has spent millions in legal battles to stop the paperwork being revealed. If it ever does get into public circulation, there are two ways it can go: the certificate shows he was born in Hawaii (and those who continue to argue the toss by saying it's a forgery play into the hands of those trying to cast them as delusional), or the certificate shows Kenya as the place of birth (after which Biden gets promoted to President, race riots are then encouraged, and martial law is the inevitable result). Either way, a win for those pulling the power levers behind the scenes.
Saturday was with me before I knew it. Off to a strong start with one of the best speakers on the 'Alternative' circuit - Andy Thomas. Beginning the talk by donning a tin-foil hat with a huge tail at its top, he outlined the content of his new book, launched at the Symposium: The Truth Agenda. This is the text we have all been waiting for, as the stocking filler to give to everyone. In simple terms, Andy deconstructs all the various conspiracy theories, debunking the unhelpful and disproved, while shining a light towards what really should be the focus of people's concerns.
Norman Baker MP took to the stage next, to outline a conspiracy in which there is little doubt - the death of weapons inspector Dr David Kelly. Norman continues to campaign for another, proper, public enquiry into the tragedy - all the evidence demonstrates that under no circumstances was this suicide. A low pressure vein being severed that would have taken a Herculean effort to cut through with the pen knife believed to be the tool of choice - tendon and muscle to cut through to begin with. 29 tablets to deaden the pain - by a man who struggled to take tablets of any sort. Kelly had also previously injured his right arm, which would have made it difficult for him to cause harm to his left wrist.
The lack of any blood around the alleged place of death was the final mystery which means there is something not right in the official version of events - the inquest deciding that the blood just seeped into the soil! Clearly, we are not dealing with a man taking his own life... and it is at this point people should wake up to the fact that we are dealing with a Government that would do anything to further its agenda, and to silence those who would stand in its way.
Taking the pre-lunch session was Terry Boardman who feeds in to the whole New World Order debate by demonstrating that these guys are definitely play the "long game". Going back to the turn of the 20th Century, Terry demonstrated how the methods of control were still there, just using the media of the time - including fiction - to shape public opinion in the direction that was wanted. Terry added to my ever-increasing pile of books I need to read by recommending "The Scaremongers" by AJA Morris.
After lunch, the theme of conspiracy continued with Ian R Crane – by the way, the 'R' is important as there is an Estate Agent firm of similar name, who have despaired about the number of calls they have received, asking them questions about the New World Order!
Ian had a recent previously-booked talk in Glastonbury cancelled by the organiser as she had decided that they no longer appreciated the negative aspects to what he had to say. This is somewhat missing the point: Ian may well spotlight the dragons that are sneaking up behind us, but the message is clear - secret plans are only dangerous while they remain hidden from the masses. All we have to do is get the word out, and show people what is really happening in their name. Everything else will fall like a pack of cards, currently set in a pyramid shape!
The detractors will say there was more gloom than usual in Ian's presentation. The answer is that the agenda is speeding up so more evil is going on. The swine flu message was simple: resist the vaccine jab at all costs. On a more disturbing line of enquiry, it appears that German powers-that-be are looking to legalise paedophilia which, once the Lisbon Treaty is signed and it gets pushed into the European statute books, will see the law transferred to the UK. You really couldn't make it up, much like the new pamphlet soon to be distributed through schools saying sex for fun is fine, and why on Earth should you have it as part of a relationship? Incredibly, with the concept of "f**k buddy" becoming the norm amongst the 16-25 age groups, it would appear there is no need for this leaflet!
Next up was Philip Carr-Gomm, which I have to say was the low-point of the weekend. Our MC informed us that Philip was going to give a different talk to that advertised on the website, although it was the one that was written about in the event programme. "Reader's Digest" version: there's nothing wrong with picking and choosing from the range of religions and spiritual paths on offer, provided that in the end this transcends making divisions between ourselves.
It wasn't this information that I had a problem with, nor the fact 20 minutes in he asked a bemused audience how long he'd been on for. More importantly, it was how he decided to start his address to the audience. Following Ian R Crane, who had called upon a range of news clippings from newspapers (Daily Mail, Independent, Telegraph and so forth) to illustrate points, Mr Gomm then decided to share his disdain with the audience that, on one side, we are being asked to NOT believe anything we see and read in the media, and then immediately being asked to take notice of stories that come from the very same newspapers.
On face value, a fair comment, but it's all to do with context, and then application to what we know about the forces of evil we are dealing with. Nuances that speakers on this circuit should know about, most especially if they decide to dish it out to a fellow speaker. What our own beliefs may be are unimportant compared to what, quite possibly, may be the belief systems of those behind the conspiracies being played out. We have the evidence of those in high positions taking part in Satanic rituals (Google 'Bohemian Grove'), so it's not too much of a leap of logic to hypothesise that these beliefs would spread out to other areas of their rule. If you think that belief in forces beyond the five senses are not common in our rulers, just do a little research into how many world leaders (and their spouses) have consulted astrologers to assist in their decision-making. You will be surprised, if not a little shocked.
The bottom line for this background is that the reason that some articles appear in otherwise discredited mainstream news sources is tied to part of the belief system in Satanism: you have to get the consent of your victims to carry on down the road with them. This is the same sort of thing as that where you have to invite a vampire into your house (as noted in the new FX series True Blood). This modus operandi actually works like a dream. I am surrounded by people who think ANYTHING in the Daily Mail is utter rubbish, indeed conspiracy theorists have problems with anything from the quill of Quentin Letts, but this is an example of hiding a tree in a forest so that it is not noticed. From the realms of Cult TV, it's a Hitch-Hiker's moment – the one where the Vogons can go ahead and demolish Earth because mankind couldn't be bothered to check out and object to the plans lodged with the Alpha Centauri planning department!
A long digression, but important to form a basis to explain what may seem a contradiction. Indeed, in a heavily frantic and completely over-worked media, you have to ask why so many stories run by the Daily Mail, and occasionally by the UK broadsheets, never get taken up by other titles. You see it every day with so many topics – one paper runs an exclusive, then the next day the other papers do their own spin on the same story. How come so many of the revelatory features go nowhere, and are left alone? Surely not because they have been discredited? Well, think of it this way: if the stories could be shown to be nonsense, then the rival paper would take great pleasure in revealing the errors and lies, as their OWN exclusive. Either way, their non-appearance elsewhere makes no sense without something else behind the scenes explaining it all. Why are such stories being spiked? Who has the power to do that? Follow the money …
The afternoon concluded with more crop circle interest, as Nick Nicholson put on a slide show that demonstrated more of the grace and beauty of recent and brand new formations.
The evening consisted of a rousing selection of music from around the world courtesy of the Avalonian Free Stare Choir, followed by scientist and inventor Harry Oldfield – I have to admit I gave this final session of the day a miss, but thanks to the Symposium's DVD releases I look forward to catching up with what went on very shortly.
If Saturday was the Conspiracy Day, then Strange Phenomena was Sunday's Symposium theme. Christopher Dunn opened proceedings with a look at the perfect symmetry present in the pyramids of Eqypt and their surrounding monuments. Simply put, the tools that we traditionally expected these artefacts to be carved from simply were NOT up to the job. Whatever way they carved the granite, copper implements could not have done it! A simple fact which pulls the rug from under everything we have ever been told about this ancient civilisation.
John Pickering continued the unexplained theme with images that he and Katie Hall had taken of what have been nicknamed "orbs" – for the simple reason they are round objects that keep appearing on photographs – both digital and traditional film. Lens flare and the like have been the lazy way to explain away these phenomena, but unfortunately when scientific rationale is applied to what has appeared on the prints, none of the rent-a-quote explanations are satisfactory – if you want to see what I mean go and visit their website at www.lights2beyond.com
Before lunch we were then asked to take part in a mass meditation session under the guiding light of Solara An-Ra. Linked into the beliefs surrounding 2012, this was possibly the most 'out there' session I attended over the weekend. When Solara started channelling Sirian and Pleadian-based spirits to answer some very-long-winded questions from audience members, it would be very easy to dismiss the hour as just high theatre. For me personally, I did feel a lot more relaxed after our combined experience. Indeed, if that was all there was to it, then it still had a positive outcome.
After lunch came Peter Taylor, a fully qualified scientific consultant for the likes of the EU, UN, Greenpeace and other international Non-Governmental Organisations. He has just spent the last three years researching, out of his own pocket, a new book about the science of global warming. Needless to say, the fact that the book is called "Chill" gives you an idea that what he found is 180 degrees around from what the mainstream media outlets are telling us the future holds. I strongly recommend that you get hold of "Chill" to get another perspective on the world around us.
A fun look at science on the fringe of the mainstream came from the next speaker, Manjir Samanta-Laughton, who took us on a layman's guide to the likes of quantum physics, string theory and black holes. An energetic performer, you really have to see her live, but in the meantime grab hold of a copy of her book "Punk Science".
Ending up the weekend was an evening talk by Dr Paul LaViolette, which I have to admit was heavy going, mainly as this was a hugely complicated subject – deciphering messages from ancient creation myths that have formed the roots of a galactic 'superwave' theory. This wave has been responsible for numerous cataclysms during Earth's history (and a cod version of this possibility was shovelled into the recent Hollywood yawn "Knowing" with Nicolas Cage). It wasn't all doom and gloom though, as this thinking could lead to a new way of looking at physics, and the possibility of new forms of energy, and even antigravity craft!
So, that was my first experience of the Glastonbury Symposium. It may not have had Bruce Springsteen or Blur in its line-up, but at least it does take part in Glastonbury (the music fest is actually located in nearby Pilton!). Schedule allowing, I will probably sample it again in 2010. Although it's easy to get the impression that it's difficult to get to by public transport, there's a direct and inexpensive bus service from Bristol Temple Meads right to the front of the Town Hall in Glastonbury. In other words, you really have no excuse not to be there!

高周波スパッタ法によるFe/AlN多層膜の成膜条件と物性 Preparation Conditions of rf-Sputter Deposited Fe/AlN Multilayered Thin Films and Their Properties
Formation of iron nitride was observed on Fe metal film rf-sputter deposited on polycrystalline AIN substrate as already reported on Fe metal/amorphous AIN multilayer. It was not found on the AIN thin film deposited on Fe metal substrate. These results suggest that Fe reacts with even crystallized AIN at their interface but that the iron nitride was not formed by nitrogen plasma during a reaction sputter deposition of AIN thin film. Multilayered Fe/ AIN thin films were also prepared by rf-sputter deposition changing applied rf-power at 30W and 100W. Giant magnetization component was observed at the multilayered interface because of the iron nitride formed by a solid state reaction between Fe and AIN. Small amount of nitrogen in AIN was assumed to be supplied to a-Fe forming a gradient of nitrogen content at the interface.

All the premieres on this site are special to me but this one from Kratos Himself is extra special.
You don't get to hear enough vibey music in this dance music racket. It's banger bangers bangers. That's ok for the most part but it can b exhausting. It's like constantly eating marshmallow cereal. It'll take it's toll. Every now and then you need vibes. You need to clear your ears and your head. Kratos Himself offers that possibility through his album (of the same name as this track) dropping on the US based Youngbloods imprint.
It's a whole album of musical moments rather than musical bludgeonings. The music has it's own meaning as a story of recovery from lost love but it can serve as a departure point for your own interior journey.
It all drops December 9th. Be on the lookout or just pre-order it now.

Bibb is taking period attendance in MS but not due to SB 364. We started this
last year. It's a mess. Since our schools have different schedules due to their
connections being 90 min we have had to use different schedule structures for
each grade level.
We are not doing period attendance in ES but dread having to do it because we
suspect we will have to use different schedule structures for them as well.

Like wrinkles, liver spots (also called age spots or sun spots) are harmless, and they have nothing to do with the liver. They are essentially big freckles that often appear on the hands and face after years of exposure to the sun.
In the greater scheme of things, age spots are not a big deal. But we only go around once, and if there is a convenient way to get rid of age spots and keep yourself looking good that isn't dangerous, why not take advantage of it?
Retin-A, the cream that caused a sensation with its wrinkle-smoothing powers, also eases away another mark of aging – age spots. More than 90 percent of people who use the prescription medicine can make their age spots fade or disappear entirely.
When people use sunscreen and stay out of the sun, Retin-A is an effective, safe approach to improving and getting rid of age spots.
Retin-A works by blocking melanin production, the skin pigment and is the only lotion that will fade age spots. Other approaches include liquid nitrogen and chemical peeling

I don't know how sick people are of seeing posts about 2016 (they've taken over my feed), but I thought it'd be fun to share the stories behind my top 9 most liked photos on Instagram. I actually got the idea from Anjerika of bitte.und.danke. and thought it was pretty cute.
I only started taking my Instagram more seriously during the later half of 2016, hence why all of the photos in my top 9 are from this period. Although I've been on Instagram since 2011, I used hashtags for the first time in July 2016 – something I really regret, but what can ya do. I highly recommend that you use hashtags if you're trying to grow your Instagram.
Here are my top 9 most liked photos from 2016.
#1: Marsquest sent me these awesome sunglasses and I shot an OOTD wearing them.
#2: I took part in Dixie Outlet Mall's $100 Holiday Shopping Challenge. It was the first time I'd ever collaborated with a shopping centre and the first time I'd ever done a challenge on my blog, and I'd be really excited to do something like it again in 2017!
#3: AMI Clubwear sent me some clothing pieces. I'm surprised this is in my top 9 because it's a pretty grainy photo and I didn't expect it to do so well.
#4: I have no idea how or why this photo got over 800 likes, but the drink actually wasn't that good. I took this in the stairwell of my condo, and I ran downstairs right after I took it because I heard someone coming down.
#5: I was shooting photos for Adam at the Harbourfront, so I decided to shoot an OOTD as well. We hadn't been to the Powerplant in awhile, and the photos turned out really well.
#6: I was going through a rough time and I hadn't posted in a few days, and I had nothing to post but this selfie. I've been trying to post every single day so yes, this was a big deal to me.
#7: Adam and I went to the Toronto Christmas Market. Here's a funny story for those of you who don't follow me on Instagram: Adam and I accidentally walked into the pink forest behind us after taking this photo, not knowing there was a whole lineup of people waiting to go inside at the entrance on the other side. We got some pretty good photos out of it, though!
#8: I did a collab with Istiana of Blog Istiana back in the summer, and this is a screenshot from one of the videos Adam shot of me. It was my first photo to reach over 700 likes!
#9: I had the opportunity to work with North York Ink, an amazing new tattoo shop in Toronto. When I got my first tattoo at 17, I wanted to get a new tattoo every year. I got another tattoo done at 18, but I stopped afterwards because I didn't want to go through the pain again. Three years later, I got my third tattoo, and I'm back to wanting more tattoos again.
Here's a snapshot of my top 9 most liked photos in 2015. My #1 in 2015 was over 300 likes, and my #1 in 2016 was over 800 likes! I'm super excited to see how much I can grow my Instagram in 2017. I'd love if you followed me on Instagram @jessicailam.

Are you looking for a way to boost your satisfaction in bed? You may want to consider undergoing breast augmentation. A new study has found that getting breast implants may improve a woman's sex life.
The study, conducted by researchers in Brazil, evaluated 45 women who were about to undergo breast augmentation. Prior to their procedure, all the women answered a questionnaire which evaluated the quality of their sex lives and their sexual satisfaction. This questionnaire was administered again 2, 4, and 18 months after surgery.
The results were largely positive, although it seems that the quality of your results significantly impact whether you experience an improved sex life after getting breast implants. In particular, whether you develop stretch marks following your procedure significantly impacts the outlook for your sexual satisfaction.
Out of the 45 women included in the study, all 36 who did not develop stretch marks after getting breast implants experienced improved levels of arousal and increased sexual satisfaction. However, the 9 women who developed stretch marks did not experience a similar improvement in their sex lives.
This is yet another reason to carefully research your options when choosing a breast augmentation surgeon. Working with a highly skilled, board certified plastic surgeon such as Dr. David Bottger can ensure you achieve beautiful, natural looking results, allowing your sex life to soar after your procedure.
If you are interested in getting breast implants, please contact Dr. David Bottger today to schedule your initial consultation. Dr. Bottger serves patients in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area.

Leaving a Mendocino County town in the dust
Caltrans has been pressing for decades for a bypass that would route traffic on Highway 101 around the town of Willits, Calif., rather than through it. But the massive four-lane bypass now under construction has met with fierce opposition because of the environmental effects -- including drainage of wetlands -- and fear of a loss of tourism.

Colleton Narrowly Escapes Assassination Attempt
President Anne Colleton was released from Overbrooke Medical Facility late yesterday after sustaining minor injuries in a failed assassination attempt. Colleton was speaking at an election rally in the Auburn district of Seattle when a gunshot rang out. The bullet apparently hit the teleprompter unit beside the president, showering her with shrapnel. MicroDeck executive and Republican speaking sensation, Paul Simmonds, was standing next to Colleton and reacted instantly, pushing her to the ground and shielding her with his own body. Secret Service officers surrounded the pair just as a second shot rang out, injuring one of the President's bodyguards. Colleton and Simmonds were quickly removed from the scene as stunned Lone Star officers began to finally move in to control the panicked crowd and tighten the security cordon around the area.
Colleton released a statement this morning, assuring the public that she is well and able to continue her re-election campaign. Simmonds is being hailed as a hero during the crisis, and Colleton has announced that the young man will play an "intricate part" in her cabinet if she wins re-election.
Democratic hopeful, Bartholomew Ogama, gave a press conference late last night, expressing his horror at the assassination attempt, and his relief that President Colleton was not harmed in the incident.
Lone Star officials and Secret Service investigators have told reporters that they have several "persons of interest" in custody. Unofficial sources confirm that Dolman Data Systems employee, Mayumi Daijou, has been arrested and is considered a key suspect in the shooting. Ms. Daijou reportedly has ties to Democratic Party organizations in Seattle. Mitsuhama Computer Technologies, the parent corporation of DDS, has not released a statement on her arrest.
Massacre at Washington University?
University officials and Lone Star investigators are remaining silent about an incident last night at the K-Wing of the Magnuson Health Sciences Building. Witnesses claim to have heard screams and seen explosions of light in the structure around midnight. Multiple emergency vehicles arrived at the scene within the hour and police and security officials quickly cordoned off the area. Several students report seeing paramedics removing mutilated bodies from the scene, but official confirmation has not been forthcoming.
The labs in MHSB were at the center of a controversy after they had been leased to an unnamed corporate customer. There is no word on when the labs will be re-opened to pharmacy students.
