A walk through Borough Market and Maltby Street Market
Up early on a Saturday morning with no plans in particular, we thought we'd hit some of our favourite food markets in South East London.
Borough Market is well known and get's really busy, but that's part of it's charm. It's bustling and loud and appeals to the senses, we love how the seasons affect the atmosphere of the market. and how, even though parts of the market have been spruced up it still retains the grit and bustle of a functioning farmers market. It is, afterall, a London institution, which has been around since 1014, so well before the Cronut then.
Maltby Street market which is about a 20 min walk from Borough is nestled away in a small alley between a railway and some former industrial buildings. It is much smaller but no less assaulting on the senses, It's jam packed with vendors and happy people eating, drinking and being merry, and why wouldn't they, the food on offer is top notch.
Every time we go to either of these markets, we come away feeling better for having shared the love of good food with our fellow Londoners. And for a while, immersing oneself in the independent spirit that these places evoke is invigorating. These are, in some way, places of discovery and joy and places that we should hold dear and appreciate, as I'm sure many of you do already.

Trainers everywhere got the confirmation they were hoping for this morning when Niantic announced the first official appearance of a Legendary will be this weekend at GO Fest! Along with a stellar video, Niantic celebrated the one year anniversary of GO by announcing that during the event trainers will rally together to defeat a legendary pokemon. If it is defeated, then the Legendary will start appearing across the world! Keep up to date on the event by using the hashtag #PokemonGOFest and watching them on Twitch this weekend!
For those who don't know yet, in just a few days Pokemon Go is launching its first real-world event following its incredible success. This week Pokemon Go received a minor update that added some bonus features to the game. Most of these are designed for helping trainers have a more enjoyable experience. For starters, you no longer have to walk to a Gym to feed berries to your Pokemon, you can now teleport to the Gym and feed them. These quality of life updates are great but on the eve of the large Pokemon event in Chicago, it is pretty clear that Pokemon Go is ramping up for something huge!
The Silph Road, famous for datamining any update to Pokemon Go recently perused the data files of the most recent update. Besides a couple more references to Event settings, Silph found the foundational structure for Legendaries is being put into place. Moreover, they may finally be able to complete the original Pokedex! (151 Pokemon) With Go Fest only a few days away, it is clear that Niantic wants to make a huge impression. At launch, several of the original Pokemon were missing and unfortunately the addition of Johto Pokemon hasn't added in those that are unavailable. If you are curious, here is a list of Pokemon available at launch. Approximately five of them have yet to be released.
Silph found data files suggesting that both Legendary and Mythic Pokemon will be available at some point and some messages pointing towards keeping the use of special Pokemon heavily controlled. Art for warning messages that point towards being unable to trade and use them at Gyms was found, This is keeping with tradition as Legendary Pokemon have always been somewhat kept from tournament play so as to not make the games unbalanced. Pokemon like Moltres and Mewtwo are exceedingly powerful and could easily make a tournament or duel far too unfair. Not allowing Legendary Pokemon to be traded also gives a powerful motivator for those trying to catch them all to be incredibly active during key Pokemon events.
You can read more about what Silph found here! Silph is a great resource to see what is new in GO and what is coming up!

Happy Birthday to a beatiful young lady. I, and thousands of others are wondering how you had to go and how they decided to keep that fat moose, Kirstie. I know you are above saying those types; however, I could say more, but won't.
You and your whole family are so special…..gosh, I keep hoping to meet all of your family, especially Sarah, your georgous Dad and you!!!I have been a registered nurse for 20 yrs. If anyone in your family ever needs a first aid center, I work cheaply, $00.00. HA. love you much.
Judy Wagner
Tullahoma TN
Judy the nurse – I sure hope I have a more compassionate caregiver than you if I need medical care! People struggle with weight — too much or too little — whether the eating disorder is anorexia, hormonal, psychological, metabolic, or just bad upbringing or habits. You of all people, being a nurse, should know this. Your remarks about Kirstie are completely uncalled for. You might not care for her dancing or her personality or her whatever, but an attack based on personal appearance is a cheap shot.

Kesler's goal sends Ducks past rival Kings, 2-1
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) Although the Freeway Faceoff rivalry typically features a heaping helping of fights and physical play, nobody dropped the gloves in the Anaheim Ducks' latest showdown with the Los Angeles Kings.
Both clubs realize it's already time to start thinking about the postseason, and the Ducks have started their surge at the Kings' expense.
Ryan Kesler deflected home Francois Beauchemin's shot for the tiebreaking goal with 7:39 to play and Anaheim beat Los Angeles for the second time in seven days, 2-1 Friday night.
Adam Henrique scored early in the third period and John Gibson made 23 saves for the Ducks, who have won six of nine overall. They've leaped back into the chase behind first-place Vegas in the Pacific Division, which has been won five straight times by Anaheim.
The Kings got off to a 20-8-3 start to the regular season, and the Ducks stumbled while dealing with major injury problems. With this victory, Anaheim (22-16-9) pulled alongside Los Angeles (24-17-5) with 53 points apiece.
Anaheim got its first victory of the season in this rivalry last Saturday night at Staples Center, winning 4-2 in a typically pugnacious meeting. The local rivals had three fights in four seconds early in that game – but the focus stayed on hockey in the Orange County rematch.
"The points are too important to let any of that get in the way," Anaheim coach Randy Carlyle said. "These games before the All-Star break are paramount for us to get into the playoff picture."
Rookie Alex Iafallo evened it for Los Angeles moments after Henrique's goal, but Kesler's long deflection sent the puck bouncing past Jonathan Quick. Anaheim then hung on in a frantic final minute to even the archrivals' season series at two games apiece.
"We're in a mode that every game counts, and obviously these division games are extra special," Kesler said.
Quick stopped 29 shots in the Kings' sixth consecutive loss, extending their longest skid of the season. While Los Angeles wasn't soundly outplayed, the losses are starting to stack up for a team that led the division a few weeks ago.
"We've had a really streaky season, to be honest with you," Los Angeles coach John Stevens said. "But it's a process we have to learn from, and I think we have."
After two scoreless periods, Henrique put the Ducks ahead with 17:55 to play by taking the puck in front of the net, going airborne and landing in the crease while his 11th goal trickled in.
Iafallo replied 2:43 later, swatting a rebound of defenseman Jake Muzzin's shot over Gibson's outstretched pad for his first goal since Dec. 7.
Ducks forward Andrew Cogliano got several standing ovations in his return from a two-game suspension for checking Los Angeles' Adrian Kempe in the clubs' last meeting. The NHL's widely criticized disciplinary decision ended Cogliano's 11-season streak of 830 consecutive games without a miss since the start of his career.
The Ducks honored Cogliano on the scoreboard during a first-period stoppage, and he waved to acknowledge the ovation from fans including team owner Henry Samueli.
"It shows how much they appreciate me and the time I've put in for almost seven years here," said Cogliano, who began his NHL career in Edmonton. "I just want to thank them. They made me feel great."
NOTES: The Ducks have won four straight home games. … Anaheim All-Star selection Rickard Rakell had six shots in the first two scoreless periods and another scoring chance on which the puck somehow hit both posts without going in. … Torrey Mitchell returned to the Kings' lineup after sitting Thursday as a healthy scratch for the first time since joining the team in a trade with Montreal. Jonny Brodzinski was scratched instead. … Ducks F Derek Grant was scratched for the third time in four games. … Cogliano's consecutive games streak was the fourth-longest in NHL history and the league's longest in more than two decades.
Kings: Host the New York Rangers on Sunday.
Ducks: Host the San Jose Sharks on Sunday.

Like a mono outbreak on prom night, democracy has struck again here Weird Band HQ, and a new Weird Band of the Week has infested our tender, nubile pages. Did that last sentence totally creep you out? Well, this band might, too. Meet Sly & The Family Drone, a British crew whose only resemblance to Sly & The Family Stone is that their leader has spent at least a few years living in a van. Possibly. Or not. What do you want from us, research?
Led by a gentleman called (duh) Sly, S&TFD started out in 2010 or thereabouts as a drums and tape effects noise ensemble, sort of a cross between Crash Worship, Wolf Eyes, Whitehouse and that sound my old Gorilla amp used to make when I would get really stoned and just drag my Mexicaster fretboard back and forth across the face of it for hours. They've released some studio recordings, including an EP that just came out this past month called Unnecessary Woe, which is the only kind of woe in a world that has bourbon and bands that sound like Crash Worship.
But they're best known for their live shows, which involve a shit-ton of drums and lots of shirtless dudes crawling around manipulating effects pedals and oscillators and audience members banging on cymbals and just the kind of general, participatory mayhem that makes any good live show more than the sum of its racket. They also sometimes throw some harmonica in there, just to give it a little of that homeless-guy-busking-at-the-bus-station pizzazz. You probably have to be there to fully appreciate the whole thing, but here's a video clip, anyway. Don't worry, you don't have to watch all 51 minutes to get to the weird stuff. It gets weird right out of the gate.
Best line from their official bio: "There is no place for guitars within this band." It's about time someone took a stand against all these fucking guitars! Goddamn things are everywhere.
Here's a track from Unnecessary Woe called "Grey Meat," which like their live shows was totally improvised. I'm pretty sure you can dance to this one, or at least break stuff.
So congrats on winning our Weird Band Poll, S&TFD! Hopefully this catapults you to enough fame and fortune that you can come wreck some drum kits here in America.
P.S. After we join our fellow Americans in stuffing our faces with turkey and trampling fellow shoppers in a stampede for the new iPads, we're taking a little vacation time. But don't worry, this break will be much shorter than our last one. We'll be back with more weird bands in a couple weeks. Y'all try to stay out of trouble till then, OK?

Good. Homeopathic.
Get well. Stay well.
DISCOVER - At Goodwin Homeopathics on Bainbridge Island, we work with adults and children to achieve general health through the use of the best chosen homeopathic remedy. Specific ailments, chronic and acute, idiopathic conditions, emotional imbalance and delayed development are reasons for which a person might consider homeopathy. Simply put, the homeopathic remedy is a catalyst for remarkable change.
Homeopathy is a safe, gentle and natural system of healing that works with your body to restore the body's vitality and to improve overall health and well being. Homeopathic treatment is perfect for all ages and sizes, including very small children, has none of the side effects of many traditional medications and is very affordable. Remedies are made from natural substances and are FDA regulated. Homeopathy is the second most used form of health care in the world.
We believe all members of a family are connected. Though it is possible to treat a solitary member of a family successfully, the whole process, especially for children, is enhanced when all members of a family are involved.


text: A lot of churches have a Fall push. Are any of your churches doing that? You know, summer vacations are over, kids are back in school, new residents are moved in and getting settled, a rhythm is developing and many churches use that time to try and connect with new people. Ads, mailers, door hangers, public events, press releases, new programs, classes, et al. Around here, the big churches use and actually increase their attendance via those Outreach postcard mailers. I have found that smaller churches do not typically bear the same fruit even when using the identical methods. Like those disclaimers for Jenny Craig. *Results not typical. Your experience may vary.* :) Anyway, I'd like to hear what churches are doing, or are not doing, now that we're nearing that time of year.

To get a sense of how overheated the debate over online privacy is becoming, consider the trajectory of a conspiracy-minded article published earlier this week in The Huffington Post. Just two days after the publication of Bob Bowdon's article-which suggests that the true purpose of Google's "Doodle 4 Google" art program is to build a giant database of kids' addresses and Social Security numbers-members of Congress were already proposing an actual hearing on the topic.
Bowdon, who recently directed "a documentary about corruption in American public education," describes Google's project-an annual art contest that received 33,000 entries this year-in breathless terms. "A national, commercial database of names and addresses of American children, especially one that includes their dates of birth and SSNs, would be worth many millions to marketing firms and retailers," writes Bowdon.
Even though Google (NSDQ: GOOG) only collected the last four digits of the SSN-the purpose of which was to knock out duplicate entries-Bowdon notes that it is possible to make guesses about the first five digits, given a person's date and city of birth, which were also part of the "Doodle 4 Google" form.
Several paragraphs lower, Bowdon notes that his suggestion that Google is participating in any kind of database-building is, in fact, an evidence-free zone. And once contacted, Google explained why it collected the information it did, and stressed that it wasn't used for any reason other than to conduct the art contest. Recognizing that it probably wasn't a great idea to collect the info in any case, the company also stopped asking for the last four digits of the SSN, which was more information that it needed to conduct this contest.
But the speed with which the story got picked up raises questions how easily the legitimate concerns over online privacy can be hijacked and turned into scare-mongering. Just hours after Bowdon's post, New York magazine picked up the story, with this headline: "No Big Deal, But Google May Have Promoted a Contest to Get Kids' Social Security Numbers." Not much later, National Journal was calling members of Congress asking what they're going to do about Google's collection of personal information from the nation's innocently doodling children.
The two members of the House of Representatives who are latching onto this, Ed Markey (D-Mass.) and Joe Barton (R-Texas), also pushed for more investigation into last year's Google WiFi "spying" scandal. Headline-seeking attorneys general in many states have continued to push that issue despite Google's repeated apologies for2 the accidental data collection, and the FTC absolving Google of wrongdoing.
The remarkable fact about that ongoing scandal is that the only data Google collected was unencrypted data going over public networks. If anything, Google did us a favor by reminding us that public WiFi networks aren't secure. Any hacker with some rudimentary software can sit outside a coffee shop and collect the data of users at such a location, and possibly use it for nefarious purposes.
That's not to say that Google and other tech companies haven't screwed up. A large corporation shouldn't be trawling WiFi data by accident, and Google was right to apologize for it. And Google should be careful about not collecting more data than it needs, especially in projects unrelated to its core business, like its annual art contest. But in an environment where a minor data overreach like Google's collection of partial SSNs for contest entrants gets turned into an overheated conspiracy theory, it's going to be tough to have a serious discussion about what kind of new privacy rules are really needed.

Japan International Aerospace Exhibition
It's an exhibition of highly specialized technologies held in Japan once every four years, where the world's major manufactures of aircraft, components, rockets, satellites and other products come together to trade.
The Japan International Aerospace Exhibition is held in Nagoya, Asia's largest aerospace industrial manufacturing region at the Port Messe Nagoya & Central Japan International Airport (Centrair).
Opened in 2005, Centrair is equipped with facilities that are among the most advanced technology in Japan. The airport simultaneously serves as a new international base for Japan and as a transportation hub for a variety of industries in the Chubu region.
The event brings together a wide range of people from the Japanese aerospace industry, including engineers, researchers, production managers, representatives of procurement divisions, and managers in charge of planning and strategy and provides an occasion for exchange of information among aerospace professionals from all over the world. By doing so, organizers aim to promote trade, information exchange and the development of the aerospace-related industries, while raising the general public's understanding of the improvements aerospace engineering brings to daily life.
The Japan International Aerospace Exhibition also offers public days, a special opportunity for members of the general public to visit. During public days, among other things, you are able to see large aircraft up close, and handle various cockpit components.

Caring for a picket fence
If the picket fencing is made of wood, expect some maintenance from time-to-time. Adding a new coat of paint and checking for decay will increase the longevity of the fence.
Radio interview source: Chad Hoover, President, Hoover Fence Co.
A picket fence is a wonderful way to mark property lines and make an architectural statement at the same time. However, a wooden fence takes some maintenance.
Chad Hoover is the president of a fencing company in Ohio. He says general cleaning can be done with a power washer or a wire brush. A picket fence that's been stained or painted fades over time and needs a touch-up with another coat.
Rot is a wood fence's biggest enemy, so periodically check for decay.
"When you grab a picket and act like you're going to pull it off, the fasteners, usually nails, that hold the picket to the 2x4 back rail, a lot of times you'll see those nails are starting to pull out and the wood itself will shrink in time so they become loose," he says. "And with an older picket fence, you'll see pickets are starting to fall off sometimes because the fasteners haven't failed, rather, the wood has started to soften up so the fasteners just back out naturally."
Hoover says you can re-drive nails into new holes, but you're probably better off at that point replacing the boards.
The bottom of the fence is especially susceptible to decay from moisture. He says the pickets should be about two-inches off the ground.
"It will still have blades of grass often times touching it, which dew and rain will cause the wood to wick in that moisture," says Hoover. "Sometimes you can see across the bottom of a picket fence actual water marks, or stain, where water has obviously sat or continued to wick. And you'll see, say a 4-foot high picket fence, the bottom-third of the fence at most, sometimes you can see a difference in color and that's from moisture from the ground."
The tops of the pickets, the horizontal rails, and the tops of the posts, are also susceptible to moisture. If you've done all you can to preserve the fence and it's still falling apart, it might be time to replace it with vinyl.

See my article for the Forte Foundation–they inspire women business leaders:
Jennifer Colosimo – DaVita: Seeking Wisdom vs. Seeking Promotion
Jennifer Colosimo has the enviable and somewhat daunting title Vice President of Wisdom at DaVita Healthcare Partners. "It's extremely difficult to live up to!" she jokes. The vision for the position began with DaVita's CEO, who hoped to create a function that focused not only on learning, but also on quality of life for DaVita's 60,000+ employees.
"Our definition of wisdom is this: things you can learn that can help you grow personally and professionally," Jennifer explains. Wisdom oversees DaVita University, internal marketing and branding, corporate social responsibility, sustainability and green initiatives, to name just a few.
"I couldn't have ever foreseen that there would be such a job," she reflects. That said, her role today is consistent with her life-long interest in organizational communication, technology, and change management.
She started out at University of Utah as an undergraduate, focusing on organizational communication, and went on to earn a joint MS in organizational communication and business from Purdue University, which helped her round out her core interests with a deep knowledge of finance, operations, and business.
Right after graduate school, she joined Accenture, a place that championed broad exposure and mentoring. "At Accenture, people were always challenging you to do more than you thought you could do," she recalls. She had the fortune of meeting a fantastic female mentor – something Jennifer notes was even more rare in 1994 than it is today.
During her time at Accenture, Jennifer worked on the merger between Franklin Quest, creators of the Franklin Planner, and the Covey Leadership Center, an initiative of the noted author Stephen R. Covey. After the merger, she joined as an employee of the company, and stayed for 15 years, eventually ascending to COO. She even co-authored a book with Stephen R. Covey called Great Work, Great Career.
Jennifer says she got where she is by seeking out new solutions rather than seeking promotion. "The way I think about it, when you're at work, people have problems," she says. "If you look at what you can do to solve those problems, and approach the conversation by describing what you've noticed, and suggesting what you might do to address it, you open up opportunities."
She continues, " 'How can I get promoted?' is the most boring question in the world. Are you trying to solve a need? Are you trying to do something you are passionate about? Or are you comparing yourself to your friends and thinking you should have a better title? If you look for the big challenges in your organization, and think about what you might do about those, and you deliver on your commitments, opportunities come your way."
Jennifer joined DaVita, lured by the promise of contributing to a unique corporate culture and staying close to home after years of constant travel. Although that gave her more opportunity to have dinner with her two daughters and her husband, something they try to do most nights, it wasn't an easy transition.

As we were preparing for our four day trip to Arches National Park, of course the number one thing on my mind was food. What on Earth was I going to take that was going to be as close to Paleo as possible, yet still not be a huge hassle? We didn't have a camping grill (and it's kind of expensive to run out and buy all the cool camping gadgets), and I didn't want to spend a lot of time chopping and cooking while we were on vacation anyway. I considered doing some batch cooking and sealing the meals in Food Saver bags, then heating it up in a pot over the fire. I accepted that I hadn't planned ahead enough to keep things 100% Paleo and we were going to have to rely a little more on things like instant oatmeal and Cliff bars, but we were leaving in less than 24 hours and I still didn't have a solid grasp on dinner.
My BF is pretty much the King of Camping. He told me it was kind of a tradition of his to have burgers at least one night on the trip and seemed a little disappointed that I hadn't considered it. After a little back and forth we decided tin foil dinners were the way to go. I was slightly apprehensive, as I'd never successfully prepared a tin foil dinner. I spent a couple of hours preparing enough dinners for three nights (I did three versions: tilapia with artichoke hearts, chicken with sweet potatoes and onions, and these mushroom turkey burgers – but the turkey burgers were by far my favorite).
A couple of side notes here. One, I will confess, in my 37 years on this planet (35 of which I have lived in Utah), I never knew Arches was a national park, nor did I know how touristy it was. After going, I simply cannot believe how close I've lived to such an amazing place and never gone. While we were out hiking, I heard many different languages and accents. People travel to Arches from all over the world, and I've had it in my backyard all this time. Seems wrong. Two, I think some people go on vacation hell bent on having a bad time. We encountered so many ornery, entitled people (but lots of cool ones, too). PSA: if all you want is a perfect picture, get back on your tour bus and go down to the Visitor's Center. I'm sure there's a gift shop with post cards that will suit your needs. Three, some of the coolest places cannot be reached by vehicle. You have to get out there and hike to it. As a bonus, because not as many people are willing or able to hike, you're going to find yourself surrounded by less tourists which, for me, is a win/win. This is what you can see when you're willing to get out there and work for it:
Finally, taking a recovery day after a four day camping and hiking trip is a very good idea. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be cleaning sand out of my car, clothes and bags for hours.
You might be wondering how you can eat healthy while camping. After all, you don't have access to your kitchen so you're fairly limited by what you can take that's ready-to-eat. Here's some examples of what we did: 9 minute eggs (pre-cooked and peeled, then stored in an air-tight container), oats, natural granola with almond milk and fresh berries for breakfast (wash berries and seal in an air-tight container). Lunch (when we weren't hiking) was packets of tuna, nitrate-free lunch meat, lettuce leaves, avocado and fruit. Dinner was the aforementioned tin foil dinners. Snacks were the biggest thing as we spent most of our time out on the trail. We had Cliff bars, homemade trail mix (so it only had our favorites), jerky and yes, some gummy bears. I took a few cans of coconut water for recovery after the longer hikes.
1⁄2 cup chopped uncooked sweet potato
1⁄4 chopped onion
1 large handful baby spinach leaves
1 turkey burger, thawed and cut in half
3-4 baby bella mushrooms, sliced
Sea salt, black pepper and onion powder
1⁄2 avocado
Tear off a large piece of tin foil, about one and a half feet long. Lightly grease. Arrange sweet potatoes and onion in a thin layer along the center of the foil, as if making a burrito. Lightly season with salt, pepper and onion powder. Top with spinach, burger and mushrooms, then season again with salt, pepper and onion powder.
Bring the short sides of the foil together at the top and fold over at least twice, folding a 3rd time if necessary to eliminate as much air as possible. Fold each end in several times until foil pack is tight. Keep on ice until ready to cook.
When ready to make your campfire dinner, ensure the coals are whitehot. Set the foil dinner directly on hot coals and let cook for about ten to fifteen minutes or until you can start to smell cooked food. Be careful, as it is very easy to overcook. Serve with sliced avocado on the side.

Guest Post by Cristin Woodsum
I already had six beautiful children: Frank, Eddie, Charlie, Josephine, Louis and Eva. And in 2015, my husband Jon and I conceived two children that we never got to meet: Max and Gemma. They are two precious souls that our kids talk about every single day. But losing them was really hard for Jon and me. It was a time when I had to coach myself, and have others remind me that, despite the deep grief I was feeling, coupled with the feelings of loneliness and brokenness, that God was still there holding me. Even when I didn't "feel" it. Jon and I consciously put our pain at the foot of the cross, some times better than others, asking God to take away the hurt. And for what seemed like a long time, He didn't. He let us feel the pain, the loss, and we had to choose to accept God's plan as perfect and beautiful, even though it didn't feel like either at all.
The pain did subside eventually. Jon and I felt like God was asking us to open ourselves up to having another baby. That meant the potential of pain again, knowing that God wanted us to trust his plan, regardless of what that was. It was scary, but we knew we were called to trying, even if it meant not being able to hold another baby we partnered with God in creating.
We found out we were pregnant in early September. We "knew" it was a girl and that we should name her Rose. LaRosa is my mother's maiden name, and I thought Rose was a nice little wink and a nod to her, as well as a beautiful name for a rainbow baby. But there were other reasons Rose seemed like such a great fit. First, the baby was conceived on the feast of Saint Rose (sorry if that is TMI). Second, the Dominican Sisters of Mary Mother of the Eucharist Saint Rose Guild had been praying for us for this particular intention, on St. Rose's feast day. Finally, a priest friend of ours informed us that after our family visited his new church, a sweet little lady asked who we were and to let us know that our family reminded us of her own. She told him to let us know that Rosie was praying for us. So, obviously Rose was the name, right?
Imagine my surprise when we found out at The Big Ultrasound that our baby Rose was a boy! I was pretty disappointed. It wasn't because that baby was a boy and not a girl. I love my boys dearly! I just felt confused by all of the signs I thought I saw indicating who this baby was, and it turned out not to be who he was at all. And even more so, after our two losses, for some reason our next baby's name seemed so much more significant. I wanted it to have special meaning and no boy name jumped out at me as bearing any real significance. So we went back to the drawing board with the name search, and I prayed deliberately for God to help us to name this baby.
After a few weeks, I came up with Isaac. I liked it ok, but it felt a little uninspired. I mentioned it to Jon, whose best contribution up to that point was Cornelius and Gunther, and he liked it. I still wasn't sold, but we tentatively agreed. The next morning, I was talking to my second-grader, Charlie, and mentioned that we were tossing around the name Isaac. Charlie grinned a huge grin and said, "I love that name! Isaac means laughter, because Abraham and Sarah laughed when they found out they were pregnant after they were sure they couldn't have a baby!"
Suddenly Isaac sounded a wee bit more "inspired" than it did before. I was diggin' it.
The middle name was hard. Again, we wanted it to have meaning, but wanted it to sound good with Isaac too. And, let's be real: not a whole lot of names sound good with Isaac! Then Jon and I remembered St. Francis Xavier, who was a super stud missionary, and co-founder to the Jesuit order. Isaac Xavier. Jon loved it. I liked it enough, but again, it felt a little uninspired.
The next morning, Jon asked me if I still liked the name Isaac Xavier. I told him that I liked it ok, but wasn't sold. He said, "Well, I just realized, that if we did name him Isaac Xavier, his initials would be IX Woodsum, as in Roman numeral 9 (IX) Woodsum, and he is our ninth baby. I think that is a pretty cool shout-out to who he is. People will see us and think he is our seventh kid, but his name says he is our ninth."
I stopped in my tracks. Isaac Xavier was the perfect name! Done!
The day Isaac was born was a beautiful day. Jon and I took walks, talked, got some coffee, spent an hour at church worshiping our Lord, and gave birth to our beloved little IX Woodsum. The next morning I was reflecting on how good God was, and how, now as I was holding my precious little rainbow baby, that God was there when I was grieving with the losses of Max and Gemma. If I hadn't lost them, I wouldn't have Isaac...who was born at 6:12 (add 6+1+2, please…9!), and weighed 8 pounds, 1 ounce (8+1=9, if my math is correct). He is our precious little gift that God knew we would hold, even when we were grieving the loss of his siblings. And his name, and his birth stats shout out who he is as well. No one could have possibly have manipulated those!
We have a bit of a routine when we all our heading out somewhere as a family. Jon will go through a Woodsum Family Roll Call done by number. "Is #1 here?"
Frank replies, "Yep!"
"Number 2?"
"Here!" says Eddie…and so on.
We were going through our roll call this week, and Jon turns to me and asks, "When Isaac gets older can we call him number 9 instead of 7? I want him to know who he is and remember Max and Gemma in heaven."
Needless to say, I agreed.
Everything about this new little man is such a beautiful reminder of God's beautiful plan. When we were grieving, He knew He would let us know He never left us. We just had to trust Him enough to do it.

McFarland and Pecci have completed filming a 30 minute, 5 part documentary for the Massachusetts based American metalcore band Killswith Engage. The film documents the band recording their sixth studio album and the return of the band's original singer Jesse Leach who in 2011 replaced long time frontman Howard Jones. The film is in currently in post production with the directors and is set to be completed soon. No release date has been announced yet.
Killswitch Engage has sold over four million records in the US and has been widely referred to as "one of the founders of metalcore" and one of the more notable bands of the New Wave of American Heavy Metal.

Jack Toresal and The Secret Letter is now on itch.io in Silverlight (windows only) form ($2.99) and plain Glulx form ($1.99). The Silverlight version includes the glulx file.
Jack Toresal and The Secret Letter is now on itch.io in Silverlight (windows only) form ($2.99) and plain Glulx form ($1.99). The Silverlight version includes the glulx file.
As the title says, I've updated The Shadow in the Cathedral with new maps and it's now available on itch.io for $1.99.
So I started Textfyre somewhere around 2006-2007. The corporation was legally created in March of 2007, but I had done a lot of research before that point. We released Secret Letter and Shadow in 2009.
Eventually I will write some sort of historical essay on the rise and fall of Textfyre, since at this time, it looks like I will be closing its doors at the end of the year, releasing IP back to authors, and open-sourcing all generic code. I'm still on the fence about this, but unless I have a compelling reason, Textfyre will end on Dec 31st of this year.
I still need to publish the Windows 8 Store version of Shadow. I'm waffling on it for the moment. It will just never be as good as I want it to be. It's hard to do this stuff alone. I had help last year, but that help has for the most part disappeared.
* * * *
This does not mean I have lost one bit of passion for IF, commercial IF, educational IF, or any of the ideas or visions I've worked on for the past 8 or 9 years. It's just a reality of the day. There are better people at it, specifically Choice of Games, Inkle Studios, and Versu. The emergence of Twine and CYOA games also leads me to believe we've hit a crossroads with parser-based IF and I still love parser-based IF. I think the art of IF within Twine and the new iPad games is very compelling. It's much closer to what I envisioned than I could ever manage.
So what's next. Well I think I will place my IF passions back to where they were. As a hobby, a passion, and an artistic endeavor. The plan have at the moment is to develop a JavaScript version of FyreVM using Quixe and then building a CLI based IF-builder the same way Ionic builds mobile applications. I envision it something like this:
You type a command in like…
zifmia start mygame z-standard
…and this creates scaffolding for a web-based interpreter using your game file. It automatically generates an I7 extension to be used by your game. You then go write your game in Inform 7 and when done, you save the ulx/blorb file in a directory within that scaffolding. Then you can serve it for testing:
zifmia serve
That command will open a browser running your game in the given template. The template can be modified if you know HTML, CSS, and AngularJS.
When you're done and ready to publish, you type…
zifmia publish
…and this will create a package you can drop on a server.
I'll finally be able to develop the templating system I envisioned for Zifmia years ago and by generating the extension in conjunction with the template, authors will have detailed instructions on how to write their game for a given template.
It will be easy.
* * * *
So that's the new plan. Plans change of course, but this is where I'm headed. As I said, if and when I do close Textfyre, I will write a very thorough accounting of its history for anyone interested. Even so, I could not have done it without the following people:
Jesse McGrew – coded FyreVM from scratch and my hair-brained design requests about Channel IO in about 80 hours which is still an amazing accomplishment.
Mike Gentry – for flying out to Chicago on several occasions, busting his ass to write Secret Letter on paper when no one else had ever done that before. An amazing accomplishment and not just for Textfyre. I'm sure his efforts carries into other people's IF design endeavors. And for writing Secret Letter itself, which despite its flaws and criticisms, is a wonderful game.
Jon Ingold and Ian Finley – for creating Shadow in the Cathedral, one of the best IF games I've ever played. I have played it hundreds of times and I still love it. I wish we could have done the sequels.
Paul O'Brian and Chris Huang – for designing Empath's Gift and suffering through endless attempts to complete the code. Maybe it will still be finished. I hope so.
For everyone that offered their support. I could not have done even what I did accomplish without the IF community.
I'm not going anywhere….just returning to a hobbyist and an enthusiastic cheerleader of IF.
Textfyre now has the beginning works of an MVP (minimal viable product) and our primary goal this year is to complete the MVP and look for funding.
One of the places we're looking to for cash our federal and private education grants. We just missed a couple of federal grants in February. There just wasn't enough time to prepare the type of proposal that's expected. An RFP from the Gates Foundation was recently publicized and we're making a concerted effort to complete a proposal for this grant.
In the area of product development, we've brought in a new team member that has a learning science and assessment science background. We're working to redesign existing processes to ones based on IF constructs. This process has just begun.
This has led me to think about our business model. We've been discussing the possibility of offering all of our content for free and charging for the assessment and reporting features. These are the features that teachers and administrators would use to evaluate their students progress in areas that can be measured against the new Common Core State Standards. What do we gain by offering our stories for free? What do we lose? These are the questions we're asking ourselves.
In other news, I am going to add maps and hints to the existing online version of The Shadow in the Cathedral and make it permanently apart of the Textfyre learning structure. It will remain free. I also plan to promote it towards classroom supplemental reading use.
One of our other team members is actively working relationships with teachers to test our service. This is an ongoing struggle since teachers have very little time. If you know a teacher that would be interested in helping us work through piloting, please send them my way. We're focused on 4th through 8th grade.
So the software I'm developing for the classroom is a hybrid of FyreVM and Zifmia technologies. There is a great deal of usability testing we need to do with students and teachers, but there is also a level of beating that I won't be able to achieve through that process.
So I branched the code, ripped out all of the classroom features, and implemented a revised version of The Shadow in the Cathedral. If I can figure it out, I plan to do Secret Letter too, but that code is a mess.
You can play, for free, the online version of The Shadow in the Cathedral right now.
It's a bit sluggish at times, although not terribly bad. It's certainly usable. I'm considering a few tweaks to speed things up, but the performance is in large part a factor of the game's size. It was not designed for a client-server platform…it was designed for a PC interpreter.
I have to thank Jimmy Maher for the Kindle port for a great deal of the bottlenecks being removed. Jimmy has a knack for finding bad Inform 7 code and rewriting it so that things perform well. This version of Shadow is a descendant of those changes.
The caveats I offer in playing it online includes the following:
I can't say that this will remain online forever, but that's my intention.
Hey everyone, in addition to PC and Mac and game file downloads from www.textfyre.com, The Shadow in the Cathedral is now available on Android as well as Kindle.

I remember the anticipation was building up for the Leica announcement at September of last year, no one was certain what improvements can be done on the already excellent Leica M9. The tension was there until I saw the video of John Dooley from the Leica Academe demonstrates the new Leica M. Immediately I was attracted by the camera, it offers so much more than the M9 as a camera but it was until I read online debates all around forums regarding to CMOS vs CCD brought doubts in mind too. Until now, when I finally received the new Leica M typ 240 camera that all my doubts have vanished.
There still are not too many Leica M typ240 cameras out around the world as of June, 2013 and this is due to supply issues from Leica (See public statement from Leica). Other than waiting on the long list of Leica dealers, the only alternative would be paying for a big premium to cut the queue. Nevertheless, it is well worth the wait and there is no-going back to the Leica M9 after using the new M substantially.
"Survival of Strongest" - Leica M + 50 F1.4 Summilux ASPH
Improvements Compared to the Leica M9
The new Leica M typ240 improved all the short-comings of that Leica M9 users have asked for: higher resolution screen, quicker camera processor, faster buffer, quieter shutter sound, better ISO performance and overall much improved functionality.
Build Quality
The build quality of the Leica M is simply amazing. It is build even better than the Leica M9 but maintained similar weight. The camera feels impeccably solid and the body is carved out of a single piece of brass. As a proud Leica MP owner myself, the Leica MP is undoubtably the best build film M camera until the present. The engineering standard matches the pinnacle of Leica film era, if the Leica MP stands for "Mechanical Perfection" then the new Leica M can be labelled "Digital Perfection." The build quality is equally as solid as the Leica MP.
Image Quality (CMOS vs CCD)
Prior to obtaining the Leica M that I have seen enough online images from the camera to conclude the rendering is different with the new sensor. However, the sensor inside the Leica M is no ordinary CMOS sensor, it is specifically made for Leica by an Italian manufacturer named "CMOSIS." After shooting the Leica M, the rendering is smooth, sharp with rich colours whereas the Leica M9 files are crisp with vibrant colours.
The Leica M offers about two stop better than the M9 in terms of ISO performance, I would state the files are usable even at ISO 6400 with noise reduction in post-processing. The CMOS sensor is not better or worse than the CCD sensor, each has its own characteristics and produces an unique image rendering.
The Leica M typ240 improves greatly in overall functionality compared to the Leica M9, it feels like a complete camera. There is no question that the Leica M9 outputs amazing images but the Leica M makes the M9 feels like incomplete in the functionality department. The Leica M is the perfect digital camera, it feels like a "real" camera with the new LCD, new design and fast processor. The LCD screen has improved significantly on the Leica M, the screen size and resolution increased from 2.5" and 230,000 pixels on the M9 to 3" and 920,000 pixels on the Leica M. The new Menu on the Leica M appears to be modernly designed yet maintained the navigation simplicity of the Leica M9, all the features are in one clean and simple menu list. The in-camera processor has been updated to a much faster processing electronics and this combined with the new LCD provides users with immediate feedbacks. The shutter sound on the Leica M is different to the Leica M9, it is much quieter yet solid without the re-cocking sound on the M9. The new shutter produces more pleasant sound to the ears and increases discreetness when shooting at quite locations. The transition of the electronic frame lines from the Leica M9 titanium onto the new Leica M is a great addition, the electronic frame lines will adjust its brightness according to the light source thus offers better visibility through the viewfinder.
The battery life of the Leica M improved significantly over the Leica M9, the voltages increased from 3.7v on the M9 to almost double with 7.4v for batteries on the M. The real-life battery usage increases from around 400 to about 1,000+ shots. This prolonged battery life offers extended period of camera use and fewer batteries to carry.
The Leica M9 is prone to issues such as camera freezes regularly and SD card compatibility issues. I have not observed or yet encounter any of these issues after using the Leica M extensively and this reduces the burden on the user during shooting process.
Camera Use/Settings Tips
- Format your SD with external software "SDformatter" rather than in-camera format, as this will cut down start-up time from 4/5 down to about 2 seconds to avoid missing the "moment."
- Set your metering to centre-weighted and exposure to classic just like the good old Leica M9, this will avoid camera lag when out shooting.
- Use the live-view function combined with rangefinder mechanism will significantly increase your hit rate when the streets, it is the perfect tool for street photography. The new features do not remove good-old fashion rangefinder shooting but only add to the versatility.
- For image settings, I tend to use original image settings rather than new film filters offered as I found them to look "different". It is recommend to set Sharpness and Saturation to Standard whilst contrast to High to offer the closest look to M9 files, post-processing is definitely also important but luckily the new M comes with the powerful Lightroom 5.

Yeh Wall Table by Studio Kenyon Yeh for Menu
Description / details
Yeh Wall Table is a two-legged metal side table with natural simplicity, designed by Kenyon Yeh for Menu. To compensate the two missing legs, a part of the thin tabletop is bent upwards in a 90° angle against the wall. Two thin and slightly angled tubular steel legs give additional stability. No other fixtures are needed for the table to support what's placed on top of it. Yeh Wall Table mimics a person in sitting position with the back resting against the wall and the legs firmly placed on the ground. If muscles and bone structure carries the person, coated steel is what gives the table necessary stability. These characteristics give an imaginative floating sensation and added value to the design. Yeh Wall Table is a functional design that can be used as a side table for books, plants, a table lamp or small objects. ItÂ's a light, mobile and clever solution for homes with limited spaces.

1: a prefix meaning 'about' or 'around' (perimeter), 'enclosing' or 'surrounding' (pericardium), and 'near' (perigee, perihelion).
2: one of a large group of beautiful, fairylike beings of Persian mythology, represented as descended from fallen angels and excluded from paradise until their penance is accomplished.
PERISONIC is an inhabitable hedgehog made of light and sound, conceived in collaboration with interactive artist Mads Rune Christensen.
An exclamatory enigma, this far-flung critter seduces visitors to approach via a series of sensory effects. Once inside, participants find themselves part of a rudimentary 'game' in which they learn to influence the character's behavior through their body language and gestures, much as one might form a non-verbal relationship with a pet.
Through trial and error, visitors learn how to influence the sonic layers of the 12-track soundscape, while PERISONIC communicates its approval or disdain via the lighting effects of its parametric 'quills.'
