Oakland, California is in the midst of an impressive month-long ShareFest featuring swaps, gift circles, workshops and more. One of the highpoints so far was the Creating Commons Festival that took place on May 10th. Organized by Jonathan Youtt and Veronica Ramirez, and funded in part by a grant from Shareable for our #SharingSpring initiative, the event was held at the PLACE for Sustainable Living. It brought together an estimated 400 people for making, sharing, learning, music, cycling and more.
Among the many events and activities presented were skillshares, neighborhood garden installations, clothing, plant swaps, and public placemaking projects that "reimagine and re-energize the creation of the commons throughout the neighborhood."

Inspired by City Repair's Village Building Convergence, Sunday Streets, Oakland's Art Murmur and the mini-Maker Faires, organizers collaborated with a number of organizations and projects including the East Bay ShareFest, the Community Resilience Challenge, PLACE for Sustainable Living, Villagecraft, Planting Justice, Whymcyles, Phat Beets Produce, SPAGGIA (a neighborhood association), St. Columba Catholic Church, Conscious Carnival, PuppetPLEX Presents, Shake Your Peace, Rock the Bike, Spokeland, Urban Permaculture Institute, Gill Tract Farm Coalition, Oakland Roots, Cornerstone Farms, KALA Institute Artists in Residence Program and a class from the UC Berkeley Planning Dept.
Creating Commons featured a solar and bicycle powered stage, several natural building and permaculture projects, workshops in a variety of subjects, ranging from urban gardening, bicycle maintenance and electric bicycle modification, community resiliency, preparedness training, fermentation, mushroom inoculation, evaporation cooling (refrigeration without electricity) and creating parklets with benches, tables and planters.
Workshops, information tables and crafts were all part of the festival. Photo: Veronica Ramirez
There was also a clothing, plant and seed swap; a 100 person community ceremony that was opened by a local Aztec dance group and followed by words of peace offered by several faith leaders from neighboring churches and other spiritual practices, as well as local poets, artists, neighbors and elders; a Kidzone with Conscious Carnival, an environmentally-themed carnival, games and a youth art creation station, "funky bikes" to ride and an obstacle course; neighborhood presentations from UC Berkeley Planning Dept Students about their local mapping project of our neighborhood, as well as the KALA Institute Artists in Residence Program; several nonprofits tabling; local arts and crafts; and a free barbeque hosted by the neighboring St. Columba Church.
According to organizers, the mushroom inoculation was a highlight that ran most of the day with folks drilling holes, and inserting wood plugs that were previously inoculated with oyster and shiitake mushroom spores. Close to 100 logs were inoculated and taken home by neighbors to wait for the fruiting mushrooms to offer up in the future.

ShareFest organizers worked with several organizations over three months to coordinate the festival, which was entirely volunteer driven. They initially held weekly meetings with homework assignments for each group, and then moved to 2-3 meetings per week in the final month. The biggest challenge for them was not having enough core organizers throughout the early stages of production and doing this on a volunteer basis. It became up to a 3/4 time job for the two main organizers for the last three weeks of the festival and prevented them from earning wages elsewhere.
The main expense was liability insurance of $250, followed by street closure and amplified sound permits from the city of Oakland, and printed materials. A $500 grant from Shareable covered a significant amount of these expenses. All the talent, instructors and organizers worked for free and the stage and sound system were also donated.

For those planning similar projects, the organizers advise collaborating with as many organizations as you can that can bottom-line certain aspects of the desired activities. "The more decentralized your production, the better, and the less that rests on the main organizers," says Youtt.

Looking forward, organizers have big plans including monthly sharefests and skillshares, moving to different neighborhoods, and eventually doing green makeovers of existing park and community centers. As Youtt says:
"We ultimately would like to use this model to encourage replication and move from neighborhood to neighborhood helping to mobilize people to create a similar block party with a purpose, resulting in the re-imagination and community co-creation of the commons throughout our region. Additionally we help to bring neighbors out to meet one another, discuss their neighborhood needs, concerns and visions, and learn practical skills in urban sustainability and preparedness including gardening, rainwater and greywater installation, entertainment, barter & sharing exchanges including clothing exchange, crop and seed swap and plant giveaways all within a positive family friendly environment."
Resilience training in action. Photo: Villagecraft
He offers the following as potential organizations to partner with: resident associations, schools, nonprofits and community based organizations, local merchants, faith based organizations, neighborhood emergency response teams, block captains, relevant city departments, local trade associations that would participate in the trainings especially in their related field (rainwater and greywater workshops for plumbers, solar and wind renewable energy classes for electricians, natural building alternatives for carpenters). He also encourages booths to explore the formation of neighborhood bulk food buying coops, CSA drop sites, a barter exchange, neighborhood resource mapping and community preparedness training.
Winding things down with a jam. Photo: Veronica Ramirez
In the end, the festival was a great success and left people wanting more. "Given the opportunity," says Youtt, "people tend to want to share. When people give, the natural response is to give back. People loved the event and continuously asked when the next one was planned."

This post has been weeks in the making. We'll see if an 8 PM written rendition has the same punch as its 11 PM sleepy, disorganized counterpart always seems to have.
This blog has been sleeping for the past six months. No, we have not gone into hibernation or fallen off the edge of the earth or stopped creating. We've both been too busy living to post our creative endeavors. Actually, I'm not sure that I'm really busier as a teacher than I was as a student. I do, however, get my creative fix very differently now. Maybe its the change from receiving to giving. Instead of blowing people away with my creations (exaggerated for effect), I work to pull creativity out of my students. Much of it is unintentional. It comes out of who I am rather than out of a drive to force my unimaginative students (or so they think) to think outside of their logical little northern Indiana boxes.
But back to the soap box that I've been building when I can't sleep… I'm not sure how much of this soap box is made up of conclusions leading to convictions that I've been forming and what is actually just a very wordy excuse for not posting for six months. As the lull on this blog grew longer, I frequently felt guilty twinges. And just as often I stomped those twinges out because I think guilt for not blogging is irrational. What is it about a blog that gives me the freedom or even compulsion to pour out my heart to whoever stumbles across this bit of a website? Why do I work so hard to take beautiful pictures of the flawless part of my kitchen when in reality the rest of it is mediocre and far from what I consider blog-worthy? Why do I strive for perfection in the part of my life that I pour out to others? Especially when I get frustrated at the fact that some people think that everything Keturah and I make is a gigantic success.
I don't know if my students catch on to this, but they can really get me going whenever I can lead the discussion to living counter-culturally. That means living according to and out of my Anabaptist heritage. It means not living the American dream. It means thinking hard about how my actions line up to Christ's teachings in the Bible. I fail miserably. As I write this, I feel like a fraud. Just like I can preach lovely sermonettes to my students about the importance of loving our very near neighbors, I can sound okay on cyberspace. Only a fraction of the blog's followers really know me. Do the opinions I type for the world to see match up to my life? I really hope so.
Do I blog counter-culturally? Or is this one place where I give in to the need to look and sound perfect? Is this a place where I meticulously follow current trends? You know blog speak…it's the proper number of ellipses…the right amount of pouring out heart…the way fragments and run-ons are allowed.
What if I blog because I like the affirmation? Affirmation from some stranger who probably tosses likes onto anything he or she reads. But, oh, it's so nice to see someone liked what I did.
Maybe counter-cultural blogging is absurd. Maybe it's just Hannah not wanting to be cliché. Maybe it's that very popular thing in our culture to be different, to be myself.
I'd love to hear opinions from friends and strangers. I'll give you the answer I think I've formulated so far. Don't worry, I don't plan to start posting ugly pictures. I believe God created beauty and I get a rush out of creating beauty and perfection when I can. I also hope to post again soon. With less ramble and more picture next time. 🙂

Lymphedema and Lymphatic Drainage
Lymph drainage is a massage-like technique used to decrease swelling due to cancer surgery and radiation as well as long term medical issues. It is used in combination with compression bandaging, pumps, and compression garments to manage lymphedema. All three PT's in our office are certified lymphedema therapists. More information about lymph drainage is available at www.upledger.com.
Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral therapy is a very gentle technique which is used for the treatment of headaches, neck and back pain, and sinus pain. For more information go to www.upledger.com.
Real Time Ultrasound
We are able to use ultrasound to look at muscles, tendons and connective tissues. We are also able to use ultrasound to look at different strains on the bladder, how well the bladder empties, and pelvic floor contractions.
Women's Health
Many issues that women have and think they "just have to live with" can be treated. Pelvic pain, bladder problems, pain with intercourse, infertility, and obstetric pain can be treated by physical therapy.

Visceral Manipulation
The name sounds harsh, but it is a very gentle release. This technique is designed to release the ligaments and connective tissue which surrounds and supports the internal organs and attaches them to the skeleton. Just as a therapist would mobilize the ligaments in the shoulder for someone who has lost motion in the shoulder, the ligaments that support the organs also need to be treated if they are tight. For more information visit: www.barralinstitute.com.
Myofascial Release
Fascia is connective tissue which surrounds and supports everything in the body. Restriction in the fascia can easily result in pain and loss of motion. Myofascial release gently removes the areas that are bound up to relieve pain and restore range of motion.
Compression Garments
We carry a supply of Medi brand compression stockings, gloves, and sleeves at our clinic. We sell them to our patients at our cost.
Most people know kinesiotaping from watching pro sports or the Olympic Games. Kinesiotape is a stretchy cotton tape which can be applied to the skin in a number of different ways to help to relieve pain, increase motion, or decrease swelling. It is used to help treatment continue for up to a few days following a therapy session. All three of our PT's are certified kinesiotaping practitioners.

Charlotte Hearts Gigabit co-founder Candice Langston reported that the City of Charlotte convened a group of representatives to discuss the "digital divide" in Charlotte. Attending organizations included the Charlotte Mecklenburg Public Library, the Knight Foundation, CMS, UNC Charlotte, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Housing Partnership and Queens University.
With the impending announcement from Google about the potential roll-out of Google Fiber in Charlotte, and with internet providers such as AT&T and Time Warner currently considering or already offering similar services, the challenge and opportunity to connect more of our citizens to the internet, and leverage the enormous advantage of gigabit connectivity, is emerging.
The City of Charlotte is actively bringing more people with the knowledge of how to engage and activate our resources are coming to the table with ideas and solutions about how to close this divide.
The City is also taking a contingency to Kansas City to attend the Gigabit City Summit in January to learn more about these opportunities and challenges, and to network with other communities that have gigabit services or are in a similar position to Charlotte and are nearing a decision from Google on Google Fiber. Charlotte Hearts Gigabit co-founds Terry Cox and Alan Fitzpatrick also plan to attend.
City officials expect Google to make an announcement before the end of 2014 on the roll out of Google Fiber.
Candice is on the City's cabinet to study the digital divide issue and reported that there will be monthly meetings, the next one will take place on or around Jan 11th.

Book description
Collateral is one of the building blocks on which the financial markets are constructed. Used for a number of purposes - including trading with central counterparties (CCPs), secured funding with market counterparties and central banks, OTC derivatives margining and settlement - the role of effective collateral management in monetising assets has never been more important.
Until now, policy makers have tended to ignore the complex collateral plumbing that is fundamental to lending and enabling growth in the economy. Attention is now focussed on this important issue.
This book, the first of its kind, is written by the leading authority on collateral Manmohan Singh. He leads you through the complex world highlighting the importance of financial plumbing and provides a practical understanding of how financial collateral moves across jurisdictions. Also, the discussion on restricting collateral velocity and how it links to monetary policy rate cycle is original.
This is a must have guide to navigating the future as rules and regulations for the global financial markets are redrawn.
Through a thorough examination of the role collateral plays in the market you will gain a deeper understanding of complex and important themes that are likely to remain topical in the near future.

"This book provides an authoritative and important reminder that 'collateral' is the oil in the engine of global financial markets. It describes how collateral has morphed over time, its importance for the plumbing of the financial sector and its current monetary policy nexus. Manmohan Singh covers all the bases that the market, its infrastructure, central bankers, legislators and regulators should focus on. The chapter on 'shadow banking' in particular is the first comprehensive perspective on its important intermediation role for the financial sector. He has expertly peered into the future to consider the possible consequences of collateral paucity or the failure of a CCP – too important to fail, too big to save? This book weaves a rich and unique tapestry of a complex subject in an accessible manner."
Patrick Pearson, Acting Director of Financial Markets, European Commission
"Manmohan's thought-provoking work shines a much-needed light on the neglected, yet highly critical, plumbing of the financial system."
Guy Debelle, Assistant Governor (Financial Markets), Reserve Bank of Australia and Chair of the BIS Markets Committee
"Manmohan Singh is widely acknowledged as the global thought leader on collateral and financial market infrastructure. This book is an extremely useful guide to this crucial area of financial market design and policy."
Darrell Duffie, Graduate School of Business, Stanford University

BOSTON — The very young Celtics got older and Paul Pierce should be much happier now that he has Ray Allen as a running mate.
BOSTON — The very young Celtics got older and Paul Pierce should be much happier now that he has Ray Allen as a running mate.
Boston obtained the seven-time All-Star guard from Seattle on Thursday night, a top scorer who could speed the team's path to contending in the weak Eastern Conference if he returns to form following surgery on both ankles.
Allen cost the Celtics forward Jeff Green of Georgetown, who they had taken with the fifth pick of the NBA draft, and guards Wally Szczerbiak and Delonte West. But he gives them a talented veteran on a team that ended the season with just five players older than 25.
The Celtics also obtained one of Seattle's second-round picks, the 35th overall.
With their own second-round pick, the 32nd, the Celtics chose guard Gabe Pruitt of Southern California, who averaged 13.8 points in three college seasons. With the 35th, they took 289-pound Glen Davis, a forward from Louisiana State whose play declined last season but who still averaged 17.9 points and fills Boston's need for a big man.
The trade for Allen was confirmed by Seattle general manager Sam Presti. Boston did not comment.
"Boston really pursued this," Presti said in Seattle. "What started as a smaller conversation became fulfilled. Their pursuit was impeccable."
The trade for Allen should quiet Pierce's comments, voiced several times, about being dissatisfied with the youth movement that could keep Boston from contending during his career.
Pierce, 29, led the Celtics in scoring but played only 47 games because of injury last season, when they were 24-58 and missed the playoffs. They won their 16th — and most recent — championship back in 1986.
"I would think there'd be a sense of urgency at this point," Pierce said after the season. "I mean, two consecutive years of not making the playoffs. This is a town eager for the Celtics to be in the playoffs, eager for the Celtics to be one of the best teams in the NBA. I just can't see us sit here again next season not talking about the playoffs."
Let the talk begin.
Pierce has four years left on his contract. He has won just three playoff series but is now part of a high-scoring team with mediocre defense.
He scored 25 points per game last season and Al Jefferson averaged 16 points and 11 rebounds in a breakout third season.
Allen, who turns 32 next month, averaged a career-high 26.4 points last season, his 11th, but underwent surgery to remove bone spurs on both ankles on April 7 that required him to wear protective boots.
Two months later, he wasn't running or shooting regularly but said, "If the season was on, I would probably be playing already."
Boston coach Doc Rivers was high on Green and Florida forwards Corey Brewer and Joakim Noah, who all worked out for the Celtics in Phoenix on Tuesday night.
Celtics general manager Danny Ainge said Wednesday it was "unlikely" he'd trade the fifth pick.
Allen himself was the fifth pick in 1996 by Minnesota but spent his first 6½ seasons with Milwaukee and the last 4½ with Seattle.
Green is an outstanding passer and shooter who was Big East player of the year last season. He averaged 14.3 points as a junior last season.
West spent the last three seasons with Boston after being drafted out of Temple and started most of the last two seasons. Szczerbiak played in just 64 games for the Celtics the past two seasons after being obtained from Minnesota.

Southern Capital
When it comes to size, Nanjing does history on a grand scale.
Much of what can be seen today relates to the two brief periods during which it stood as the capital of a unified China – first, in the Ming Dynasty and second, during the Republic of China.
Nanjing literally means "southern capital" and it is this legacy which makes it a draw to visit today. While it first became the capital of the Wu state during the Three Kingdoms period and subsequently served as the capital during Six Dynasties, much of what can be seen today relates to the two brief periods during which it stood as the capital of a unified China – first, in the Ming Dynasty and second, during the Republic of China.
The 450-guestroom Shangri-La Hotel, Nanjing recently opened its doors in the centre of the vibrant Gulou District and is just a brief walk from part of the city wall – one of the monuments of the Ming Dynasty's rule and on the tentative list for UNESCO World Heritage sites. Zhu Yuanzhang, the first Ming emperor, established his capital in Nanjing and, from 1366 to 1393, a million workers laboured to build the longest city wall – 35 kilometres to be exact – the world has ever seen. Twenty-five kilometres of this city wall still remains intact today and, in parts, such as around Jiming, it is possible to stroll along the ramparts. The Ming people used the land's topography, which rose up to 12 metres, to aid the city in defence.
Mountain Retreat
Many of Nanjing's main sights lie outside the city walls at the nearby Zijin Shan (Purple Mountain). On the southern side rests Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's tomb. After his death, a power struggle for control resulted in the capital's move to Beijing. This made Zhu Yangzhang the only Ming emperor buried in Nanjing. Stone animals meant to scare away evil spirits line the entrance to the tomb. The tomb itself lies inaccessible under a large mound.
Also dating back to the early Ming period, the nearby Linggu Temple has a beamless hall made entirely of bricks and stones. The Linggu Pagoda, built in 1933, links the area closer to our times. With some help from American architects, the pagoda was built in commemoration of those who died in the creation of the Republic.
Nanjing was the first capital of the Kuomintang after the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty and the resulting battle for power. Sun Yat Sen died before a stable government was established, but respecting his wishes, he was buried in Nanjing. His tomb, in many ways, is a reinterpretation of a classic Chinese tomb. A total of 392 steps lead to the tomb, which is laid in the traditional north-to-south axis, up to a memorial chamber, behind which a marble statue of the great man lies atop his coffin.
City Centre
A large statue of Sun Yat Sen stands in the middle of Xinjiekou, Nanjing's central shopping and dining district, which is in proximity to the Presidential Palace. The site dates back to the Ming period and has changed hands many times in 600 years. During the Taiping Rebellion in the mid 19th century, followers of Hong Xiuquan, who claimed to be the younger brother of Jesus, built the Mansion of the Heavenly King on the site, which was completely demolished after the rebels were defeated. A reconstruction of the mansion and a Ming garden now stand in this area. Some of the buildings here were used as presidential offices between 1912 and 1949.
Nanjing, as well as having a long history, hosts one of the bloodiest incidents in China's recent history. After the Japanese captured the Chinese capital in 1937, over 300,000 people, mainly civilians, were killed in wanton destruction. The Memorial Hall of the Nanjing Massacre is a graphic and poignant memorial to the barbaric acts humankind is capable of inflicting on one another.
The area surrounding the Nanjing Confucian Temple is a lively night area with lots of authentic local restaurants and souvenir shops. The temple itself has been rebuilt many times and most of the structures are constructed during the later part of the Qing Dynasty.
After a hard day's sightseeing, CHI, the Spa offers welcome relaxation. Its long infinity pool helps hard-pressed executives unwind. For avid runners, the hotel's suggested jogging route takes you around the nearby Xuanwu Lake Park, which can be seen from all Horizon Club rooms. Jiangnan Wok, helmed by Chef Hou, serves local Huaiyang cuisine and is not to be missed by gourmets.
With its long history and tree-lined streets, Nanjing makes a great place to visit for either pleasure or business. Shangri-La Hotel, Nanjing, located close to the subway and featuring all the modern comforts you would expect, will be your ideal base.

Sculpture creates an Identity
Public art is increasingly important for defining the individuality of an area and promoting local pride
Public and Private Art should never be considered an after thought, or part of a planning requirement. Instead there needs to be a realization of what the addition of a well planned and appropriate installation can bring to a development, public realm or your own home. Beauty comes in all forms and the most loved pieces of art are those which have been created individually, art that is personal and which locals and tourists take to their hearts and come back to visit time and time again.
New For 2018
We are delighted to announce Colin is now accepting Private Commissions. Whether you are looking to add Sculpture to your landscaped garden, pool area or a wall mounted bust in your home, working with you directly, we can create and deliver incredible artwork that will compliment your home.
This year, we are privileged to have been invited to make our first appearance at the Henley Festival. To take part in this historic and extraordinary Festival that brings together artists of the highest calibre from all over the world, is something we are looking forward to. A Festival which draws an audience in excess of 30,000 to the most quintessentially British setting they will ever experience.
Brimstone Artworks is delighted to be exhibiting new work from our very own, renowned sculptor, Colin Spofforth.
The Henley Festival takes place this year from 11 - 15th July, 2018. Our 3 exquisite Bronze sculptures will be located immediately on entry into the Festival, sitting together among majestic trees, the grass verge with the beautiful River Thames backdrop. We look forward to seeing you there. Please contact us for more information or to arrange a time to meet with Colin Spofforth himself!

I have to admit, weekends I always like to indulge in a nice dessert. So this past weekend, I decided to make these moist, delicious and OUT OF THIS WORLD cupcakes. I mean I guess I'm excited about these because I didn't expect them to taste so good! I bought these beautiful organic Cameo apples that worked really well with this recipe but you can also use Macintosh or Granny Smith.
This takes quite a bit of apples , almost a pound to be exact, so that must mean they are SUPER healthy right? Okay, probably not but at least you're getting 1/2 serving of fruit with your dessert ^_^! Also, I left the icing off a few of the cupcakes as a healthier alternative, or as a great breakfast option.
Upon tasting this cupcake, you will close your eyes and drift off to a dream world of decadence ---falling into a "MMmmmmmm" trance. The combination of the creamy and sweet maple brown sugar frosting paired with the moist apple cake -- I mean this cupcake is so good my friend Jenni had dreams about it! That alone should be reason enough to just try it, right?
Ingredients for Gingersnap Crust:
- 2 cups gingersnap cookies, crushed into fine crumbs
- 1 cup gingersnap crumb and pecan mixture (for decoration)
- 2 tablespoons butter
Preheat oven to 350F.
Line muffin tin with paper liners. Melt the butter and mix with crumbs thoroughly. Distribute mixture evenly into muffin tins and press down to make the crust. Bake for 5-7 minutes or until a light golden brown.
For decoration, you will need an additional cup of gingersnap crumbs mixed with 1/4 cup of chopped pecans. Mix together and set aside.
Meanwhile, make the batter for the cupcakes...
Ingredients for Apple Spice Muffins:
(makes 1 dozen)
- 1 1/8 cups all-purpose flower
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (I used cardamom)
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger (I added this)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups coarsely shredded apples, such as Cameo, Macintosh or Granny Smith
Whisk together flour, baking soda, spices, nutmeg, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside. Put butter and sugar into bowl and with an electric mixer or stand mixer, mix on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about five minutes. Mix in eggs, sour cream and vanilla, reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture and mix until combined, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Carefully fold in your apples until combined.
Divide batter among lined cups, filling halfway. Bake until tops are springy to the touch, about 18-20 minutes. Remove cupcakes from tins; transfer to a wire rack and let cool.
While your muffins are cooling, make the icing!
Ingredients for Maple Brown Sugar Icing:
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup real maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
In a medium bowl place sugars butter and salt. Using an electric beater or stand mixer, beat ingredients until combined. Continue beating and add maple syrup in a stead stream. Add vanilla. Increase speed to medium high and beat until light and fluffy. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Once your muffins have cooled, you may now begin to ice them! Using an icing brush, or a knife, ice the tops of the muffins evenly. To decorate them the way that I have (They are bees if you can't tell), you will need 12 half pecans, 24 pinenuts, and 24 cloves. For the pecans you will have to cut them at a tip, as I have, at one end. Then place the cloves as the antennae and the pinenuts as the wings.
Then using the pecan and gingersnap crumb mixture, carefully dust the outside edges as shown above. Like I said earlier, you can leave all the icing and decorations off and eat them as muffins. I set half aside that way and they made a really quick and delicious breakfast. Nom nom nom!!!
I also wanted to share some of my food art with you guys, starting today I will be posting pictures periodically of "beauty" that I find in food and other places you wouldn't expect. I hope you guys will enjoy these images, and I would really appreciate any feedback you may have.
Can anyone guess what this is? I wanted to print this out on 3 separate canvases and have it as a large wall mural -- thoughts?

Mahi Mahi Ceviche
If there is a time and a place for fresh fish it is here and now. As a child my dad would go on early morning fishing trips most weekends. We would meet him at the harbor and eagerly wait to open the cooler and see what he had caught, squealing like the the little girls we were as the fish flopped around. It doesn't get much more fresh than that, and although he is not the one catching the fish these days, I am still able to go to the local fish market for the fresh catch of the day.
Here in Hawaii, ahi is most commonly eaten raw as Ahi Poke, generally a mix of raw ahi, soy sauce, limu ( seaweed), sesame oil, and chili pepper. You rarely see ceviche, or fish that has been "cooked" in a citrus marinade such as this. Our neighbor had made ceviche the other night, and it was hard not to eat the whole bowl so I decided I needed to make a batch for myself. I figured it was a must to cook with fresh fish while home, and serving it raw is even better when you are so close to the source. I've chosen to use mahi mahi in this recipe, but any sea water white fish will work, such as sea bass, striped bass or flounder. Remember, that even though the fish will appear to be cooked, it is still raw so it is important to use fresh fish from a trusted source. When the fish is mixed with the acid from the citrus, the proteins in the flesh denature, giving it the same opaque look that fish has when it has been cooked.
As I write this, I can hear the waves crash up on the rocks outside. This, and the thunder of rain that dumbs on our tin roofs each night, are the most soothing sounds that I know. They remind me to breathe deeply and appreciate and live in each moment. These past weeks have flown by faster than I could have imagined, and each time I'm home it's more difficult to leave and say goodbye. Tomorrow, my sister and I will embark on a trip of a lifetime. We are off to Southeast Asia where we will meet my boyfriend and the 3 of us will eat foods we never thought we'd encounter, laugh with new friends, and engage in exotic cultures.
I still have a few recipes and photos that I'd love to share with you all from Hawaii. I will post these throughout my trip. I apologize if they are a bit short, but I've got countries to see and memories to make! Mahalo for following my blog, and stay tuned for recipes and pictures from across the globe.
Mahi Mahi Ceviche
- 1 # mahi mahi fillet, thinly sliced
- ½ c lime juice
- 2 T yuzu juice*
- 1 T shoyu
- 1 T olive oil
- 1 serrano pepper, thinly sliced (less if you are sensitive to heat)
- ¼ red onion, slivered
- ¼ cup cilantro, chopped, plus more for garnish
- ½ small cucumber, seeded and thinly sliced
- Salt and pepper (and possibly a pinch of sugar)
Prepare the marinade by mixing lime and yuzu juice, shoyu, and olive oil. Set aside.
Place the pieces of fish in a medium bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Mix in the marinade and vegetables, taste for seasoning and add more salt and a pinch of sugar if needed. Place in the the fridge and allow the fish and vegetables to marinate for about 5 minutes. Serve with tortilla chips, or better yet, taro chips if you can find them.
* Yuzu is a citrus fruit from Southeast Asia that is becoming more and more popular in American fusion cuisine. It can be found on a plethora of NYC menus, but generally only the bottled juice is used. While I was home in the tropics, I thought it would be wonderful to use it since I was able to find the fresh, whole fruit (thanks Lesley!). The flavor is tart and is often compared to grapefruit, so if you are unable to find yuzu, or don't want to buy a whole bottle for this recipe, grapefruit would make a great substitute.

Tuesday night I had the honor of shooting the Heartstrings Benefit Concert that San Antonio's KJ 97 Country station sponsors. The event was at Cowboys Dancehall in San Antonio. This event is a partnership with KJ97, For the Love of Kids and Harleys that raises money for children's charities. For more information about the event, check out the KJ 97 website.
The artists for the night were Aaron Watson, Wade Bowen, Jack Ingram, Randy Houser, Steve Holy and Rodney Atkins. It was an amazing and crazy fun night of music. Here are a few shots from the evening. The first photo is a group shot of the artists with KJ 97 DJs Travis Moon and Bree Wagner.
Additional photos can be seen on KJ's site and the meet-greet photos with fans are online as well.

Readers of GetReligion are not allowed to enjoy this paragraph. Don't even think about it:
TV news crews and an Associated Press photographer waited in pelting rain for three hours Friday morning for [Chief Justice William] Rehnquist to emerge from his suburban Virginia town house. He eventually did, wishing reporters a good morning. When asked about retirement rumors, he answered, "That's for me to know and you to find out," before getting into a waiting car.
It's from Gina Holland's excellent AP story on Supreme Court retirement rumors currently swirling around that cauldron of gossip and innuendo called Washington, D.C.
Holland does a good job of showing both the pack mentality of journalists and the massive uncertainty that Justice Sandra Day O'Connor created when she announced her retirement. Right now, anything seems possible, and my fellow ink- (and pixel-) stained toilers don't want to be the second to know:
The press room at the Supreme Court was filled, a rarity during a time when the court is not in session. And the rumors flew.
E-mails to reporters from various groups speculated when Rehnquist would make an announcement and also speculated about other possibilities.
Justice John Paul Stevens, who is 85 and healthy, may be going, the speculation went. Stevens is the court's liberal leader and would seem an unlikely prospect with a Republican in the White House and GOP-controlled Senate.
He also has already started hiring law clerks to work for him in 2006-07. That could be a sign that he's sticking around for a while. Or that he's sneaky and wants to keep reporters off his trail. [If so, there are going to be some pissed off Yale law students in the fall -- ed.]
Next came hints that the real retirement would be that of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the petite opera lover President Bill Clinton put on the bench in 1993.
The one bit of speculation that Holland didn't sneak into the piece is that the chief justice delayed the announcement of his retirement in deference to the recent ugliness in London. He might have considered it in poor form to announce his departure so soon after the president got caught in the middle of another terror dustup while in Scotland.
Whatever the case, there's a sense in this city that we're in for it: multiple confirmations; vitriolic arguments about abortion; charges of dishonesty and cronyism; charges of a coup d'état by liberals; rent garments over potential betrayal by conservatives; and generally lots and lots of speechifying.
It's likely to start off nasty and get worse as Bush's second term drags on. The press has had this unfortunate tendency to reduce the issue of judges to arguments about abortion and school prayer, but the disgust with the court by people loosely grouped together under the banner of the political right is fairly ecumenical and far-reaching.
For instance, a source in New Hampshire tells me there is reason to be optimistic that efforts to bulldoze Justice David Souter's mum's house over the Kelo ruling stand at least a fighting chance. If the home wreckers succeed, would Souter retire early or cling on to the bitter end? There hasn't been a lot of talk about this in D.C. because news that some locals were trying to bring it to a vote was, roughly speaking, laughed out of polite society.
But politeness only goes so far. Many of the justices are getting long in the tooth, and the time for speculation is now. Will John Paul Stevens be able to make it to the end of Bush's second term? Will Ginsburg? Will Bush make good on his deal with the right to reshape the court along more rigorous originalist lines? And will we have a fistfight on the floor of the Senate before this is all over?

Jason Aldean's 'Night Train' Rolls to Top of Billboard Top 200
Jason Aldean's latest release, 'Night Train,' has rolled into the top slot on the 'Billboard' Top 200 chart, marking the singer's first debut atop the all genres chart.
The 'Take a Little Ride' singer's highly-anticipated fifth album sold 409,303 copies in its first week, which also makes 'Night Train' the second-highest debut album of the year in all genres of music. Only Mumford & Sons' 'Babel' moved a larger number of units in its first week, with 600,000 copies sold.
"This past week was beyond anything I ever expected," Aldean said in a statement. "The 'Night Train' has already been a crazy ride for me. We flew around making TV appearances and stadium announcements all over the country, fueled by little more than coffee and adrenaline… so many fans jumped on board with us, and I couldn't be more thankful. I'm really looking forward to finishing out the tour this weekend and getting back to Nashville for the CMAs next week."
Next week could very well be the crowning moment in a series of triumphs for Aldean. He has already announced a set of stadium shows slated for 2013, with performances at Chicago's Wrigley Field, Boston's Fenway Park and University of Georgia's Sanford Stadium scheduled. On Thursday (Nov. 1), Aldean will compete for three trophies at the CMA Awards, including the coveted top prize: Entertainer of the Year. The CMA Awards will air at 8PM ET on ABC.

At the beginning of every new year, analysts take time to reflect on where major economies are likely headed, and 2017 looks to be no different. Most major investment firms all agree that the major indices within the United States are all headed upward, although there is some variation in how much growth should be expected. Estimates for the end of 2017 in regards to the S&P 500's final valuation range anywhere from 2,250 to 2,400. With a current price of just under 2,200 heading into the end of 2016, growth is definitely the consensus here. Just how much growth is likely seems to be the matter of the debate.
In order to estimate the amount of growth, analysts look at several different fundamental indicators and then extrapolate that onto the different companies that comprise this index, hoping to give themselves an accurate hypothesis of where prices are headed. Factors like inflation, the strength of the U.S. dollar, monetary policy created by the Federal Reserve, margins, corporate and treasury yields, and more are all looked at. As a short term trader, you probably do not have a lot of experience at evaluating these things. That's not a problem, as long as you are able to look at what trusted experts say on these topics and can apply the information accurately to your trades. Most short term traders will never need to know how to come up with these numbers on their own, or even what they really mean for the economy as a whole.
However, this doesn't mean that analysts do not have valuable information to pass onto traders, even ultra short term options traders. They often have a firm grasp on the general trends of assets. Options trades are more effective when done with the trend. And analysts often have the ability to predict (or even incite) the short term movement of assets. Again, this kind of knowledge gives traders a big edge when making decisions.
As a options trader, public perception is a key part of your success. Even if all of the analysts are way off in their predictions, which could occur if world or national events take an unexpected twist, knowing what the popular opinion of the general public is gives you a strong edge in short term trading. Even if public opinion is incorrect, it can sway prices one way or another. Traders have two major potential instances to profit off of this knowledge of market psychology. They can ride the waves that are created when prices move according to what the reactionary traders push forward, and they can also create trades that take advantage of the move back toward a more realistic and sustainable level. In this respect, paying attention to both public trading psychology and the fundamental realities of an asset can give you superior knowledge over other traders.
You will still need to look at the technical indicators that drive short term trade decisions. But when you add an extra level of decision making safeguards to your process, the inevitable outcome is your trades will be more accurate.
It also gives you an idea of how to make stronger position trades, or even find long term investment opportunities. This is outside the scope of our focus here, so we will not go into details on how to evaluate investment positions, but when a huge discrepancy is found between current price (as swayed by an incorrect public perception) and actual valued price, investment opportunities can become very profitable. Even as a short term trader, this knowledge can be helpful for boosting your end of the year bottom line.

In-vitro meat (IVM) is one of those subjects that could quickly get out of hand in the minds of an uninformed public, and this post is my small part in countering the entropy of reason. Hmm, is it still entropy if the reasoning was never there to begin with?
In my discussions with those unfamiliar with it, the first reaction seems to be one of disgust. Maybe due to the increasing familiarity with Genetically Modified Foods (GMO), especially with the increasing notoriety of Monsanto (as if they were the first and last step in GMO). But, as in any foray into the unknown, as Bertrand Russell puts it: first you must begin with the facts, and move on from there. So let's get to the facts of meat today, and then with those of IVM. One thing we must get out-of-the-way before we begin: human-beings will not just stop eating meat, so any philosophical or personal objection to the practice of meat-eating is bunk. One person's (or even a billion persons) objection to the practice of eating meat is irrelevant, it's simply a part of life and must be dealt with.

Worship is Central at Central Christian
It's when the church comes together to share in the story of Christ through scripture, music, preaching, and communion. Each week we are reminded of the goodness of God and inspired to participate in His work in the world. Even though the styles of worship may vary from one service to another, it's not the style of worship that drives us – it's being together, sharing our lives, and expressing the work God is doing in our midst.
To accommodate the size of our congregation and to express our worship in complimentary ways, we currently offer a blended style worship service on Sunday morning:
- Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m. – We blend the best of traditional hymns of faith with newer songs of faith, an inspirational sermon, and we celebrate communion at every service. There is a Children's Moment with the pastor and then we offer the younger children to go to the nursery or school age children to participate in their own special Worship & Wonder program.
- Ash Wednesday Our Ash Wednesday service signifies the beginning of the season of Lent. This service is held at 7:00 pm forty days(excluding Sundays) before Easter.
- Palm Sunday The Sunday before Easter is the beginning of the Christian Holy Week. It celebrates Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem on the back of a donkey. Palm branches are given out at each service.
- Maundy Thursday – Commonly known as Holy Thursday, Maundy Thursday commemorates the last supper of Jesus Christ with his Disciples. A special Maundy Thursday service is held at 7:00 p.m. on the Thursday before Easter.
- Good Friday 24-Hour Prayer Vigil – On the Friday before Easter, known as Good Friday, we host a 24-hour prayer vigil.
- Easter Sunday – One of the holiest of Christian holidays as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
- Wedding Bell Service – On the first Sunday in June we conduct a worship service where married couples have the opportunity to renew their vows as a group. This is a celebration of the union of marriage whether couples are newlyweds or celebrating into decades of being married.
- All Saints Day – This service incorporates the lighting of candles in remembrance of loved ones who have passed on since the previous year's All Saints Observance. We also light candles to honor the members of our church who have 50 or more years of membership.
- Hanging of the Greens – To kick off the Christmas holiday season on the first Advent Sunday, we have a special Sunday morning worship service at 9:30 a.m. called "Hanging of the Greens". At this service we tell the Christmas Story and sing old familiar Christmas carols while transforming our lovely sanctuary into a beautiful Christmas wonderland. Bring your family, friends and neighbors to enjoy this meaningful service to get the holiday season off to a great start!
- Christmas Eve Services at 7:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m.
- The early Christmas Eve service at 7:00 p.m. is particularly family and child oriented. It's always a wonderful and meaningful way for families to share in the true meaning of Christmas as their faith develops. A Christmas pageant/play and upbeat holiday music is offered to enjoy and celebrate the season.
- The late Christmas Eve service at 11:00 p.m. is a candlelight service of lessons and carols. We sing special music and church members participate in scripture readings as we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ with communion and worship.

Won't it be GREAT to never hear again, "I can't make it to your event, my goldfish died." Many people get frustrated when they have people they invite to come to an event, maybe these are potential customers or networking partners and no one shows, or very few. Let's discuss why that may be and how to fix it.
- They show up for your reasons not yours
- They didn't hear you
- They see more value in not showing up, than being there
Here are 3 things to consider when promoting or inviting to an event, this way they don't tell you they can't show up because the goldfish died, their lawnmower needs a new pulley, they bumped their head and think it might be a concussion and won't be able to make it or you can prevent them from just flat out not showing up. Now, I understand life happens, but this will help increase your odds and save you time chasing after people, which is never fun and don't recommend.
First, and most importantly it's all about them, not about you. You have to promote to them why it's important for them to attend for their personal reasons and benefit not yours. I hear people tell me, I invited this person and they didn't show up or call, how rude. I ask, why were they coming? They respond, to come check out our product. Yep, I wouldn't be there either….however I'd let them know I won't be there, not a fan of the "sure, I"ll be there" and just not show philosophy that unfortunately is so popular. Find out what they want or need, try and tie that into why they should come.
Next they didn't hear you. Now, I'm not saying to shout it to them…it's because they maybe didn't relate to you. Meaning, each of us communicate in 3 basic ways, auditory, visual, or feeling. Listen to how they communicate if they say, "it sounds like/ I hear you" they may be auditory, if they say "I see how, I see what you mean" they are probably visual, and if they say, "I'll feel it out" they may be more kinesthetic or feeling.
If you learn they want to have more energy in the morning, and let's say your product can do that, and they also seem like an auditory communicator your invite should talk to them in that way. "I have heard what you say about wanting more energy, and it sounds like you would really feel better through the day if you had something to help you. Why don't you come to our event, you'll hear about something that may be an option, if it sounds good we can discuss it, if not at least you'll have another option".
The third point is that they see more value in not going, than being there. If you connect with them in how they communicate and you target their personal needs they see value in being at your event…now when the cat has fleas, they dog bit the neighbor, their goldfish dies, it's not as important as being at your event.
- Sounds like a great event to be at to help them out
- They can see why they should be there
- They felt showing up would be great value to them
Hope this helps you click Like
Also, are you more visual, auditory or feeling type communicator?

— In an update from an earlier post, Global Force Wrestling, Jeff Jarrett's new promotion, appears to be moving towards holding their first events at the end of this year. The promotion's first shows will be in the last quarter, perhaps as soon as October.
— In the wake of Extreme Rising cancelling its weekend shows earlier this week, Masked Mania is going the extra mile to aid wrestling fans. The promotion previously announced that they would still be holding their show despite added cost due to Extreme Rising handling some of the logistics. Now, the promotion has announced that they will be helping out fans who have tickets to the Extreme Rising show.
The promotion announced the following via press release:
We have been trying to figure out how we can, given the extreme hit we are taking on this event due to the Extreme Rising cancellations, still help the fans who have ER tickets at least a little.
To that end, we have rearranged some things, and now are able to present the following:
– Anyone who has already purchased MaskedMania tickets and also has Extreme Rising tickets in hand will get a free ticket upgrade at the door. Ticket upgrades will be done on a first come, first serve basis – the best upgrades being given to those who arrive first. (Anyone who has already purchased 1st Row VIP seats for MaskedMania, and also has Extreme Rising tickets in hand will receive some other form of merchandise bonus since there is no way to upgrade their ticket. Exact bonus to be determined.)
– Anyone who has not yet purchased a MaskedMania ticket, but has Extreme Rising tickets in hand, can come Sunday to the box office at the 2300 Arena starting at 2 PM and receive a free ticket upgrade with the purchase of any MaskedMania ticket. Ticket upgrades will be available on a 1st come, 1st serve basis as a limited supply are available (however it will be at least 100 upgrades which will be available).
Ticket upgrades will be for SEATING only. Meaning, the bonus items that may come with the actual purchase of those seats (Shirt/Mask/DVD depending on the row) will not be included in the seating upgrade.
The lineup is as follows:
* Dr. Wagner Jr. vs. LA PARK
* Campeonato de Maestros Title Match: Solar vs. Negro Navarro
* Campeonato de Minis del Mundo Title Match: Mini Mariachi vs. Pequeño Pierroth
* Campeonato de Feminil de PWR Title Match: Christina Von Eerie vs. Sumie Sakai
* Damien 666 & Bestia 666 & Sabu vs. Homicide & Blk Jeez & Ruckus

On the Kaukasus, Tusheti and Khevsuret!
On the East Darling Harbour design competition. Finalists include Hargreaves Associates, Jane Irwin Landscape Architecture, Martha Schwartz, and EDAW. Stop by gravestmor for some terrific entries. He's been quite vigilant. And we of his brief(?) (mis)adventures.
On the writer in the garden.
On the Castleford Project. "Some projects are about improving the quality of life, environment and investment potential of the town; other projects are about supporting neglected neighbourhoods, improving the safety and well-being of the community and providing better opportunities for young people."
On the edible schoolyard.
On fallen fruits, "a mapping and manifesto for all the free fruit we can find. Every day there is food somewhere going to waste. We encourage you to find it, tend and harvest it. If you own property, plant food on your perimeter. Share with the world and the world will share with you. Barter, don't buy! Give things away! You have nothing to lose but your hunger!" (Of some relevance, the politics of pollen.)
On a clicker happy night, we ended up here. The name will no doubt be familiar to a new group of visitors.

Humans are social beings but running a business can be a lonely game.
Masterminding is a new weekly PLATF9RM session that will provide mentoring and peer-learning in an informal, collaborative environment.
It will give you a chance to talk through issues you might be experiencing – positive and negative – in total confidence and receive feedback from other PLATF9RM members.
We believe people benefit greatly from having a structured time to reflect on their work, float new ideas, and receive guidance from others who are familiar with your situation. Need somewhere to vent about the emotional nightmare of permanently chasing invoices? Masterminding is the place.
We will be meeting once a week on a Thursday between 4.30pm and 5.30pm
Prior to the session, we'd ask each person has to have a think about a 'Key moment of the week'. This could be some prospective new business you need a new perspective on. It might be an admin task you're putting off (it's okay: we all do it) or it might be a poor decision that's still affecting you negatively.
Whatever it is, Masterminding will help you pick the issue apart and get a fresh perspective.

With apparently no other space available to store them, unsightly waste storage bins partially block the sidewalk every day outside this recently constructed 5-story building at 422 11th Ave East on Capitol Hill.
Could it be that the developers were so intent on getting the maximum rental revenue from every inch of this project that they neglected to create a space for waste storage bins?
This a telling example of Seattle's recent tilt towards deregulation, which often seems to give short shrift to the quality of life in our neighborhoods. Because of loopholes in Seattle's Land Use Code this project was able to circumvent full Design Review.
Had there been full Design Review, residents of this block and design professionals on the Review Board could have insisted on appropriate waste facilities.
Instead, these waste storage bins appear to be permanently located on the sidewalk of this residential street, making passage difficult for all neighbors – and especially difficult for parents with strollers, elderly persons with walkers, and people with disabilities.
It gets worse – there are safety violations as well.
It's bad enough that some of this building's waste bins permanently block the sidewalk. But, in addition, the photographs below reveal yet another set of waste storage bins partially blocking the same building's path of egress, where residents would need to pass unimpeded in case of a fire or other emergency.
And that's not all: this other set of waste bins appears to be completely blocking access to the building's main electrical panels, including the main electrical shutoff switches.
If a fire breaks out, one of the first things that firefighters do is shut off the power. To do that here, they would have to shove the waste bins out of the way, thereby completely blocking the path of egress for fleeing residents, and also blocking access for other firefighters trying to enter the building. This potentially serious hazard might well have been avoided had the building undergone full Design Review before permits were issued.
The process is out of balance when neighbors and residents are stuck dealing with problems created by land use deregulation. Were some of the outcomes in the November 2013 Seattle city elections a backlash against elected officials who turned a blind eye to developer abuses like this?

The Leanpub Visual Editor is intended to be a visual typewriter, with only the features required to write a novel. When you're writing a novel, the only formatting elements you really need are chapters, sections, subsections, paragraphs and italic.
So, we built a minimalist visual editor that has these features — and nothing else. In our visual editor, there is no support for images, links, lists, emoji, and a whole host of other "features".
Every feature that we could add to the visual editor would increase its complexity, so we only added what is actually necessary to write a novel. Everything else, however trivial to add, was omitted.
See https://medium.com/@leanpub/the-leanpub-visual-editor-834c942e8c4e for the full reasoning.
Now, what to do if your book needs those features?
The right thing to do is to realize that it has outgrown the visual editor, and switch writing modes. Go to https://leanpub.com/YOURBOOK/writing_mode to do that.
If you really like writing in-browser, you can switch to our in-browser text editor. It has almost all the features, since you are literally typing Markua or Leanpub Flavoured Markdown.
However, we recommend using either Dropbox, GitHub or Bitbucket, and writing on your own computer. These modes have 100% of the features, and you can use either Markua or Leanpub Flavoured Markdown.
