I found the surface a bit different from working on canvas and it was interesting. I had to let the layers of oils dry for many days in between. The first layer of the "creek" part looked really strange and not at all like water when I painted it. The painting is a bit more impressionistic than my usual, but I was just trying to create an impression of the sunlight coming through the leaves and onto the water. I really admire the painters who say they are painting the "light", but I haven't figured out how to do that myself.
My art group, Friends of Art Manchester, completed a 30' x 3' mural at 720 Union Street in Manchester (on the side of a laundromat). This was my first time working on this scale and on brick. It was the first time for several of the other artists. I'm not sure I would want to work on this surface again, but my other artist friends are painting murals again and enjoying it. I painted the hawks from photos I took in the winter while out walking in my neighborhood. No leaves on that tree then.

Marketing and IT Are Disconnecting on Data Needs
While there's notable organization-wide awareness and appreciation for the importance of big data, much of the talk seems to be about potential as opposed to results. This is especially true in the marketing department. In fact, a significant number of marketing executives view data as the #1 most underutilized asset in their companies, according to a recent survey from Teradata Applications. A lack of adequate tech tools remains a primary factor here. But, even more troubling, an overwhelming majority of marketers do not consider themselves to be strategic partners with IT. Clearly, the two departments must come together to align future tech-solution purchases and integrations with customer-centric objectives. "Marketers are most effective when they're able to put all of their data to work to deliver the most relevant offers to consumers," says Darryl McDonald, president of Teradata Applications. "Acting on more informed insights yields better customer engagement." More than 2,000 marketers worldwide took part in the research. For more about the survey, click here.
Distinguished Parties 74% of marketers say they are not strategic partners with IT.

This is for all you midwesterners wishing you knew how to make yummy noodles. (We call them "dumplins" around here.)
~Cook some chicken in a pot. I use split breasts and cook them in some chicken stock, onion and celery.
~Make the dumplins:
1 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 T. shortening
1/3 c. water
Mix everything together, add the water a little at a time. Roll out cracker thin. Slice into rectangles.
(I like to at least double this recipe.)
Remove the chicken from the pot and shred. Set aside.
Slide the dumplings into the pot, sort of laying them flat/sideways a few at a time. Stir them to keep them from sticking. After they've cooked, add the chicken back in.
I like to serve them with boiled potatoes and peas.

In the case of ascending moisture, we apply our ISOTEC Horizontal Barrier. For this measure, we inject our specialized paraffin into the previously dehumidified wall, where it creates a barrier which permanently and reliably prevents further capillary ascending moisture.
If moisture enters laterally, it is necessary to seal the area of the house that is in direct contact with the ground. For this purpose, we seal the affected area of the wall from the outside with our multilayered ISOTEC Exterior Sealing.
If walls are not accessible from the outside or you want to prevent excavations on the exterior, our ISOTEC Interior Sealing guarantees reliable sealing from the inside. This allows us to seal basements without any excavation work in order to use them as additional living space.
Water-bearing cracks in concrete components are sealed with our ISOTEC Crack Injection. We press our special resin into the cracks which seals them. In case cracks and joints are exposed to movement, we combine this measure with our ISOTEC Flexband System.
Although the cause of moisture damage has been removed, the damp masonry needs quite some time to completely dry. Our ISOTEC Renovation Plaster facilitates this process, absorbs harmful salts and guarantees an immediate optic upgrading of the affected walls.

While some have suggested otherwise, the majority of people seem to have decided the #1 pick in this year's draft is a head to head debate between Jahlil Okafor and Karl Towns. Towns and Okafor are great prospects, and both deserve to be in the conversation, but D'Angelo Russell shouldn't be left out of the discussion. Russell is not the clear best prospect or anything, but he's on the same level as Okafor and Towns. Watching the NBA today, and seeing the way guards can change the game with off the dribble shooting, it seems foolish to dismiss Russell as an option for the #1 pick.
The thing I keep coming back to with Russell, is just how hard it will be to defend a high pick and roll against him. It's a simple play obviously, but his skillset makes it really difficult to stop. What initially challenges the defense is his ability to pull-up off the dribble, and still hit from three at an accurate clip. If the man defending him is able to get over the screen the danger is averted, but no defender is going to get over the screen every time. Due to the threat of his jump shot the opposing big has to at least meet him at the three-point line, and maybe even hard hedge to send Russell backward. Russell also has shown the ability to handle the hedge pretty darn well.
The problem with deterring Russell's shot, is it almost guarantees that for a brief moment the defense is going to have two defenders with their attention on Russell, leaving someone open. Russell is unique because he has both the size and the vision to hurt a defense in this instant. His pick-and-roll reads aren't always precise yet, but he already shows an advanced understanding of passing the ball. He whips passes around the court from one or two hands and can make all type of bounce, hook, and lob passes to shooters and cutters.
It might seem hyperbolic to say it, but I'm honestly not sure there is a single player in the NBA who will match prime Russell in size, passing ability, and shooting off the dribble. There are others who are superior in two of the three categories, but after going through literally every semi-major player in the NBA right now the only guys I think are comparable are fellow lefties Manu Ginobili and James Harden. In fact doing a basketball-reference search on guys since 2000 who attempted at least 5 3-point shots per 36 minutes, hit them at 37% or higher, dished at least 5 assists per 36, and stood at least 6'4 you get a list of thirteen names:
Many of these guys are far superior to Russell in other areas of the game, but it is fair to say that Russell can be a more talented passer than KD or T-Mac, and a more talented off the dribble shooter from deep than anyone else in that group. Regarding Manu and Harden, Russell's passing and perimeter shooting ability is very similar, but his college numbers suggest he could be superior in both departments. Any guy who has the chance to be the most well-rounded shooter and passer for his size in the league, should be in the conversation for the number one overall pick. Now the question becomes, can he actually attain those thresholds in the NBA, and how will the rest of his game hold-up.
Russell hitting those statistical benchmarks at some or multiple points in his NBA career is actually highly plausible. Russell measured well over 6'4 in shoes at the combine, so it is safe to say he will be listed at either 6'4 or 6'5. Passing the ball, Russell averaged 5.9 AST/40 minutes in the much slower paced college game, where scorekeepers are noticeably stingier about handing out assists. Considering he did this as a college freshman it is a somewhat safe bet that Russell will be given enough ball handling responsibility in the NBA to cross the 5 AST/36 minutes threshold. Shooting volume also shouldn't be a problem, if he is given the requisite usage on his NBA team; he already averaged 6.6 3PA per game in college.
Hitting 37% percent from three is the only mark that really is in doubt. Russell shot 41.1% from three on his high volume of attempts in college, but with the deeper line, and against tougher NBA defenses, he could drop off considerably. Russell has a somewhat low release and shot only 33.6% from three against BCS teams at or over .500 (via DraftExpress), so maybe he will never attain that level. Still, Russell has a very smooth and lightning quick release that he did hit at an elite 41% this past year. I'd bet he figures it out and is able to be a 37%+ shooter in the NBA, maybe even 40%+.
The combination of size, shooting, and passing is what will make guarding him in pick and roll situations so difficult. Those skills alone give him a high floor on the offensive end, and a ceiling that is through the roof. Honestly, Russell's elite skills might be better than any other prospects in the drafts elite skills, the rest of his game is where my real questions lie.
On the offensive end, Russell's casualness and desire to make highlight plays oftentimes forces him into silly turnovers, and his ability to read the court sometimes is lacking. But considering his usage and his age his 14.8 TOV% and decision making as a whole aren't as bad as some detractors say. In the vein of decision making, he also settled for some pretty bad long two's where his heels sometimes even touched the three-point line, shot selection could be an issue for him. Russell's biggest problem by far is his inability to get to the basket, and his poor finishing when he gets there.
The finishing is an issue, but not a massive one. Russell shot 59.4% at the rim in half court situations according to hoop-math, a below-average number. Despite measuring with good leaping ability in pre-draft workouts, Russell rarely exploded to the rim around the basket to finish, and didn't quite have the craftiness or touch to make up for it. He finishes almost exclusively with his left hand at this point, and he never really showed the ability to leap into defenders and make in-air adjustments to finish at the rim. Russell does have a soft touch, good size, and the massive hands that allow him to extend the ball around the hoop so I don't consider this weakness a glaring issue. Finishing is something he may struggle with a lot early in his career, but he will improve considerably as he figures out how to be more crafty around the rim.
Russell shot 2.1 FGA per-40-pace-adjusted at the rim this year, a decent number, but considering his 30.2 USG%, an unimpressive one. Russell lacks the first step or burst to blow into the lane, and his side to side rhythm and hesitation when making dribble moves is a little too slow and methodical. His handle is fantastic and he can break down defenders with it, he just doesn't quite have the side to side shake or bounce to his step to actually get in the lane all that often. Being a great shooter causes defenders to play up on him, and combined with his handle alleviates concerns about attacking the basket to a degree.
I still consider getting to the rim a big issue, and probably my primary concern with his game. It's just very hard to profile as a potentially main offensive option on an NBA team when you don't have the quickness to threaten getting into the lane. Bringing it back to my original point about the pick and roll; the solution for opposing teams seems to be simple, just switch. Russell will be able to beat it occasionally, but he lacks the first step or ability to dance side to side to consistently take advantage. Forcing the defense to switch will always give the offense at least a slight advantage, but with Russell it might be a way to slow him down considerably.
His jump shot is more of the "lull your (similarly sized) defender to sleep with a series of rhythm dribbles and then quickly launch it over them" style than Curry's ability to feint back and forth to create space, or Harden's footwork to sidestep defenders. The best way to say it seemingly escapes me, but Russell just doesn't create space like many stars do. Aside from the few times Russell gets his defender off-balance with a great move, Russell is almost never creating space between him and his defender. It's an iffy concept to get into, and he's succeeded so well without this not necessarily real ability that I don't place too much weight on it, but it's a legitimate question, and possibly explains his poor splits against good competition.
(Quick note on that: everyone plays worse against good competition, Russell's splits are slightly out of the ordinary, but not enough that it is a huge red flag for him. Any player will inevitably struggle adjusting to quicker and bigger defenders.)
The other major issue with Russell is his defense. He's not a particularly quick or strong athlete, so defensive questions will inevitably follow. At Ohio State, Russell played a fair amount of zone early in the season, and more man later on. Playing in a scheme where he started off the ball, and often switched with his teammates on off-ball actions caused him to actually guard on the ball somewhat rarely.
When he was guarding the opposing ball handler, Russell was generally impressive. His lateral quickness is better than advertised, and at times he even pressed up and bothered smaller guards. When put into ball screens Russell was inconsistent, but his bigger frame helped him navigate things pretty well, and he only really ran into trouble going through double screens, where he often gave up on the play.
Off the ball, Russell is a bit of a man-watcher. Guarding his man in the corner while other actions occur, Russell would stay close to his man instead of helping out, and be late on help rotations as a result. When Russell did try to make off the ball plays he was pretty effective with his length, and even had a couple impressive blocks, though his STL and BLK numbers were a little inflated by playing the zone.
Russell profiles as a generally below-average defender, and especially if he's forced to guard point guards he will struggle. Defense won't be his downfall though, he's going to be capable against 2's, and he looks like he won't be a sieve even against 1's. In fact, the playmaking he occasionally flashed in college gives him some upside that he could even be an above average positional defender.
Russell's combination of shooting and passing with non-awful D from a perimeter spot give him the chance to be a true superstar in the NBA. His lack of hop to his step on offense is really my biggest concern, but I only fear that will prevent him from being great, not that it will inhibit him from being really good. It's possible Russell never really adjusts to NBA speed, but I just have a really hard time seeing his passing and shooting not making him a good NBA player. Another thing he has in his favor is draft models, as he is seen as the #1 prospect averaging across different models. Russell is a really great prospect with both a high floor and a high ceiling, and he should absolutely be in the conversation for the #1 pick.

Yes, he is quite fat. His long hair gets all matted so we get him shaved every so often. Since he's a schitzo (NO idea how to spell that one), he has to be sedated.
Here, view him high and happy. He's never been nicer.
The best part is the bill actually calls this style the "Lion Clip".

Antonio is in middle school and he is 13 years old. His mom admires that he is strong willed and that he is expressive about his likes and dislikes. He communicates very well without speaking.
Antonio was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy at birth. He really enjoys patterns and routines. It makes him smile to ride his tricycle to the store, while his mom walks by his side. He likes to ride his trike straight to the DVD section to look for a new movie. It also makes him really happy to design his very own teddy bears at Build-A-Bear.
The Carrie Tingley Hospital Foundation helped to buy a new roofed activity chair for Antonio. It wiggles and rocks and it's flexible. His mom Rita says, "He loves his new chair because it is more comfortable and he can move around in it. He is getting tall and his new chair has a lot of room for him to grow into."

"This photo was taken around midnight on a Brooklyn-bound C Train. The son was sprawled out on his father's lap, sleeping. The father was cradling the boy's head in his hands. It was a pretty touching scene, and I wanted to photograph it, but I was very tired myself and I wasn't sure how much I'd be able to capture from such a close distance. Then suddenly, the father lifted his son into a sitting position, and leaned in so they were touching faces.
I quickly pulled my camera from it's case and snapped a shot. One of the most natural, beautiful moments I've ever been able to capture."
i thought i would share this wonderfully-captured candid moment via humans of new york.
happy father's day everyone!

Wausaukee ends Cats' winless season
Jacy Zollar, email@example.com
Bowler/Gresham was held to just four first downs against Wausaukee on Friday, leading to a 54-12 loss in the Cats' final MONLPC game of the season at Bowler.
Two fumbles in the first three drives set the Cats (0-8) up to a slow start. Wausaukee turned both turnovers into touchdowns.
Bowler/Gresham gave up significant yardage on three other drives in the half due to penalties, two of which led to Ranger touchdowns.
"We definitely made some simple errors, but that's normal when you have a young team like us," Bowler/Gresham head coach Eric Peebles said. "But I thought we overall played pretty well tonight for our last game. I was very proud of everybody. They worked hard out there."
The Cats found energy in the second half and put points on the board in back-to-back drives.
The Rangers started the second half with a 22-yard touchdown run by Hayden Renikow to go up 46-0, but the Cats answered with their first touchdown of the game.
Lane Schultz opened the Cats' first drive of the half with a 15-yard run to the Rangers' 28-yard line. A face mask penalty moved the ball inside the red zone, and a 13-yard run by Logan Thiex secured the touchdown.
Wausaukee (6-3) scored on the subsequent drive after Tyler Morris recovered the Rangers' fumble in their end zone.
Bowler/Gresham added another touchdown 15 seconds later on an 85-yard kick return by Ezra Spencer.
"We always tend to come out with way more energy in the second half," Peebles said. "The first half we come out flat, and it just takes us a little while to get things going out there."
Nathan Montez completed 2 of 6 passes for eight yards and rushed for 39 yards for Bowler/Gresham. Spencer rushed for 93 yards and one touchdown and had one reception for five yards. Logan Thiex rushed for 15 yards and one touchdown.
The Cats tallied 101 rushing yards to the Rangers' 347.
Renikow led the Rangers with 119 yards rushing and two touchdowns, followed by Matt Delfosse with 74 yards and two touchdowns.
"Their kids played hard," Wausaukee head coach Grant Russ said. "I know they're short-staffed, but they definitely played hard. They came out in the second half and made some big plays."
The Cats have started mainly underclassmen this season. The Rangers, on the other hand, have a full roster with older players.
"The numbers game is really what it comes down to," Russ said. "We have good senior leadership and more upperclassmen and more numbers, so that really is what the big difference is on the field."
Peebles is hopeful that his young team's experience will pay off next year.
"We'll lose two really great seniors, but we'll get back a lot of young kids that got a lot of experience this year to play, and I'm optimistic that we'll just be able to solidify our team with that," he said. "Next year we won't be quite so young, and I think that'll help us improve a lot."
The Cats couldn't find a win this season, but Peebles is proud of his team's work ethic.
"They work hard, they don't quit, and I can't ask too much more of them than that," he said.

With every invention I don't see any change in human nature. They say that the world has developed; but only in terms of new gadgets. The nature and the purpose remains the same. Only difference is that they used to kill post birth and now they kill much before that. When a child develops it actually proceeds towards its end. May be in a similar fashion, the world is approaching its end.

Hmm. I know the change cannot happen overnight. We must do what we can. One child saved is also good enough, to begin with. Grass-root level change is required in our attitude.

A special gazette was published on 1 August 2017 providing for the commencement of some sections of the Building Amendments (Enforcement and Other Measures) Act 2016 on 16 August 2017. The following summarises some of the key changes that will take effect that day:
Part 8 – Notices and Orders
- (s 31 to 38, 49 & 53) Amendments to Part 8 relating to the issuing of emergency orders, notices and orders. View a summary of the changes. One of the most important things to note is that where a building has an owners corporation, an emergency order, notice or order can be served on the owners corporation and need not be served on individual lot owners. An owners corporation must:
- give a copy of the order or notice to affected lot owners
- carry out the works required by the order or notice.
Further, the owners corporation can make representations on behalf of lot owners and may authorise any necessary access to lots for the works to be carried out. This will make it much easier for enforcement action to be taken relating to buildings with multiple lot owners and will be of particular use for enforcement relating to non-compliant cladding on multi-story buildings.
Time for commencing prosecutions
- (s 50(2)) The time within which proceedings for offences must be brought has been amended. Proceedings for offences will be able to be brought the longer of:
- three years after the commission of the offence
- within two years after the offence first came to the attention of the Victorian Building Authority (VBA) or relevant council. The maximum time available to bring proceedings will be ten years after the commission of an offence.
Information sharing
- (s 56) Information sharing between the VBA and other authorities will be expressly provided for in a new s259A of the Act. The provision provides for information sharing arrangements to be entered into between the VBA and a 'relevant agency' which is defined to include a very broad range of entities such as:
- a council or agency of the commonwealth or state or territory that carries out functions under an enactment relating to building plumbing or architecture
- the police (including state or federal police), the Australian Crime Commission
- Consumer Affairs Victoria
- Victorian Workcover Authority
- Architects Registration Board of Victoria
- Victorian Managed Insurance Authority.
Such information sharing arrangements can include information sharing and/or referral of matters or the conducting of joint investigations. Obviously both parties to any such information sharing arrangement will need to agree on the terms of the arrangement but this new provision puts beyond doubt any ability for government entities to collaborate and share information.
Council responsibilities
- (s 83) Section 212 of the Act is amended by the insertion of a new section 212(1A) which provides that the obligation on councils to administer and enforce some parts of the Act and regulations in its municipality is not limited if a private building surveyor has been appointed to carry out functions.
If there was a doubt, this amendment confirms that local government enforcement responsibilities apply where a private building surveyor has issued a building permit for building works.
- (s 19) There is a new power given in s15B to make offences in regulations with maximum penalties of up to 100 penalty units for buildings that are not class 1b or 10 in relation to:
- the keeping of exists and paths of travel maintained
- requiring testing of maintaining safety and emergency services, installations or equipment.
This will provide for tougher penalties for failures to maintain essential safety measures in buildings.
Directions to fix
- (s 26 & 27) Regarding directions to fix:
- A new sub section 37H(1A) making it an offence for a builder to whom a written direction to fix has been given to not ensure that a person they engage or employ complies with a direction to fix
- The existing s37K is amended to provide that the RBS must give notice to the VBA and owner where the builder fails to comply with a written direction to fix.
For further advice on these changes please contact Bronwyn Weir.


text: Well we are off to a good start, we played the Fredericksburg Rams and won 18-6. Even though we had to travel for a total of three hours it was a nice ride with pretty views and gave Jamie and I some time to bond as well. The boys rode up there with their friend Corey and his mom, Jamie and I enjoyed the ride up, and the ride back was good because Ethan crashed out after he ate his lunch. It was a long day for us getting up by 7.30 am and returning around 5.00 pm., but I tell you I would not miss any of these moments. As I look at all my boys and see my three older boys, and how much they have grown and become young adults I realize that we have to cherish all our time with our kids. They grow up so fast, and everyday together are memories we will keep with us forever. I just want to also say that we missed you Lisa, the games won't be the same without you!!!!

Censor.NET chief editor Yurii Butusov wrote on Facebook, analyzing military-strategic situation.
According to him, Ukraine has to initiate the offensive and Poroshenko should stop being scared of Putin.
"It is clear that the threat of a large-scale military invasion cannot be considered as a reality any more. Putin needs to conduct mobilization measures for a large-scale invasion. The truth is that the staff of the permanent readiness detachments of the armed forces of Russia does not exceed 60-70 thousand of servicemen, as the war in the Donbas proved. Heavy strikes but not an overrun can be performed with such forces. A large army group should be deployed to control the land bridge to Crimea. Putin doesn't have such army in the Donbas. I wrote that the Russian Federation large-scale offensive in the southern regions should not be expected because there is no evidence of strike groups' concentration. A partial mobilization measures in the Russian Federation would be a key stage in preparing the occupation of Ukraine from the military point of view. It is not happening. And I can predict with the 99% certainty that such mobilization will not follow. The western world presented united front against Putin in Brisbane for the first time, and for the first time it showed that the Russian aggressor is persona non grata in the civilized world. This means that Putin will receive the new package of sanctions much faster now, in case of further escalation of the war in Ukraine. And Russia is already paralyzed by the fall in oil prices on world markets. Modern war is a costly affair," the journalist said.
"Anti-Putin front is created - and this is the new reality of the world politics. How can it affect the situation at the front? It means the most favorable political background for Ukraine to act. World leaders have consolidated their position, and clearly defined Putin's responsibility for warmongering in Ukraine, and for all he did. No one will interfere in Ukraine's restoration of the order, provided that the establishment of the one is carried out with a scalpel, not a sledgehammer. The Ukrainian troops should improve their positions in all flash points of the ATO area," Butusov said.
According to him, a favorable background for the Ukrainian command to start planning the operation to liberate the Donbas is now created, and the Ukrainian army must apply the new combat concept.
"It is necessary to create rapid mobility strike forces detachments from the operating units and begin systematic work to eliminate centers of resistance and enemy detachments. The defense must be active. The enemy should not have time to rest. We must offer the enemy war on the roads - organization of sabotage activities needs to be started. The Supreme Commander should have realized that it is possible to play the role of a peacemaker in the talks with Putin only if we start beating him. All efforts to make an agreement have not leaded to prisoners' release and dialogue. We need to carry out a war of sabotage groups, howitzer artillery and mortars, large armored detachments and protected convoys. Hard admission to the Donbas for people and vehicles is required. It is necessary to protect the hostilities zone against the enemy agents' penetration. We require urgent reorganization of the army and the ATO troops as a whole. And for this purpose it was necessary to change chief of Staff Victor Muzhenko to an adequate warlord much earlier," the military expert emphasized.
"We can force the Russian Federation out from the Donbas, but to do this we must start conducting a full-scale war - without raising flags, without hype and spin. It should be committed without any all-out attacks and maneuvers but by surgical strikes - locally and fatally. The goal of the war should be the infliction of maximum losses to the occupying forces. The only way to protect Ukraine is to release it. I think the president of Ukraine should immediately bring up the situation after Brisbane and the establishment of a realistic strategy for discussion at the National Security and Defense Council," Butusov sums up.

Hi there! This is my first blog post for IMBA Canada as Alberta Regional Coordinator. I've been working for the CMBA for the last few years, and I'm thrilled to hook up with IMBA as well. Tomorrow I'll be at the MEC BikeFest Calgary, selling a table full of IMBA goodies and talking to the many and varied citizens who stroll by. Feel free to come on over and say hi!
We got this info from the good folks at the CMBA:
Ever wonder how much of an impact our sport and use of trails has on our local economy? At the CMBA, we sure do! We are always asked by people who offer grants, "What kind of economic benefit will your trails add to the community?"

It's a strange day
No colors or shapes
No sound in my head
I forget who I am
When I'm with you
There's no reason
There's no sense
I'm not supposed to feel
I forget who I am
(Goldfrapp – Utopia)
There are moments in life when we lose ourselves completely. These moments occur spontaneously in states of love and joy, as well as pain and hardship. When we fall in love we forget ourselves: there's no reason. And at the loss of love, we again forget ourselves: there's no sense. These movements of love and loss are at the ends of the spectrum, the outer circumference of being human, marking an aspect of the Self that the mind simply cannot grasp.
These states of consciousness appear naturally in everyday life as well. A few months ago I was living on a mountain, near a hot spring. The hot springs was hot, sometimes as hot as 115 degrees. And the cold spring was cold. Alternating between the hot and the could would create bliss filled states of consciousness: "I forget who I am." These were states of awareness I loved. All my concerns would melt away. All the things I was thinking of, dwelling on, would dissolve, leaving only my self: self alone with Self.
A couple of days ago I found out that the area which surrounds the hot springs (called Harbin) burned down. The images were all across twitter: flames rushing down the mountain, smoke clouds reaching up to the heavens, vast vistas of smoke and flames congregating round the ever-flowing springs. The next morning it became clear, everything was burned, all was ash, but the springs remained, pouring forth from the depths. No fire can touch such depths, no ash from water. As I pondered the images I thought of a meditation from the Vijñāna Bhairava Tantra:
"Meditate with an unwavering and one-pointed mind
on the entire universe being burnt.
एिम ए् ि जगत्सिं दवध ंध्यात्वा विकल्पत् । अनन्यचते स् ऩम्ु स् ऩम्भु ाि् ऩरमो भिते ॥् ५३ ॥
As I thought of this meditation I realized how much I wanted those states of pleasure forever. I wanted to feel the bliss of my Self, the quietness of the waters. It was a constant in my life, the hot springs were always there to receive me. Harbin (the retreat that surrounded the springs) was always there to offer a place to stay, to eat, to meditate, to be quiet with myself. The bliss of Harbin had turned to Ash. It was burnt and with it something that was so familiar to my self, and to the selves of many others.
Only a year ago I was walking the mountains above the spring, contemplating the Vijñāna Bhairava Tantra and the nature of Bhairava (a wrathful image of Shiva). You can see Bhairava in the 1820's Indian painting above. Bhairava is said to live with his consort Bhairavi in Shmashana, the cremation ground. Many who hear of such a notion are scared: shmashana is said to be the abode of ghosts and spirits. It is a place of ash and death. Why would one want to meditate on such an image?
The answer is that there are many reasons. The main reason being beyond the reach of words: no reason, no sense can describe such practices. Realization is phenomenology. Yet, as someone who has dedicated many years to the practicalities of psychology, I can use my words to describe one reason: life is made of loss. The Brihadaranyaka Upanishad say that life began with death:
"There was nothing whatsoever here in
the beginning. It was covered only by Death
(Hiranyagarbha), or Hunger, for hunger is
death. He created the mind, thinking, 'Let me
have a mind.'He moved about worshiping
(himself). As he was worshiping, water was
produced. (Since he thought), 'As I was worshipping,
water sprang up,' therefore Arka (fire)
is so called. Water (or happiness) surely comes
to one who knows how Arka (fire) came to have
this name of Arka.
(Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, Section II, Mantra 1)
Life begins with death. From death springs water, and fire. Reminiscing on my life, I realize it has been filled with death and loss. From those first moments I left the womb I had to begin a mourning process. I lost a sacred place. I lost the safety and pleasures of the womb. Then only a few years later I found myself mourning again, this time the breast. Shortly after that I had to give up my infantile grandiosity, those innate feelings that the world and I were One. I came into self-hood, and with the loss of unity and oneness, I gained a sense of pleasure in having an identity. I became a being among other beings who could assert myself and fulfill my still infantile desires. Yet with this came other losses: the loss of my grandfather, and grandmother, the loss of an uncle. Then a big loss: the loss of my beloved father. Then the loss of a lover and then another. Whether I liked it or not, I began walking the cremation grounds, making friends with Bhairava. And in becoming friends with the eternal One I am faced with a new loss, the loss of identity.
Life is loss. There is no way to get around this truth. We will all lose everything: our friends, our homes, our bodies. The Vijnana Bhirava leads us to contemplate who we are beyond such things. One begins to ask: who am I? What is my self? Where is this self located? If everything in my life burnt up, if all were suddenly gone, who would I be. We are even told: "One should contemplate that one's own body has been burnt." A horrid idea for many. But for those on the path of Self-realization, they are lead to ask who am I beyond the body?
With enough practice one begins to realize an aspect of self which cannot be 'burnt.' It cannot go up in flames. It emerges from death, and is the creatrix of life. This is the water, the well-spring of being: the Self beyond self. It is the wellspring of being which endures.
Harbin Hot springs was such a well-spring for me. It was there before the flames and it will be there after. It can take the heat, and the fire, and the ash. It can bring renewal to itself and all. And while I am thankful to the actual hot spring, I also appreciate the one that lies in the heart, the well-spring inside myself which endures. In the Vijnana Bhairava it is said:
One who contemplates with
closed eyes and one-pointed concentration on the mantra in
the middle of the lotus in the heart space achieves the
highest spiritual realization.
हृद्याकाश े वनऱीनाऺ् ऩिसम्पटु मध्यग् ।
अनन्यचते ा् सभु ग े ऩरं सौभावयमाप्नयु ात ॥् ४९ ॥
What endures beyond the flames, beyond the fire, beyond the loss is the water lotus in the heart. This is the Self: the Self beyond self. Each of us will face tragedy. Each of us will face loss. From the very beginning of life we are birthed into individuality through the loss of unity. And we will lose our individuality as we return to unity. This is the cycle of life: with loss comes the new, and with the new comes new loss. Meditations on Bhairava ask us to go directly into such loss, to dwell on it, to contemplate it: essentially to mourn. In such a process of mourning one stops fleeing from the pain. One stops running from all that hurts the heart, instead one centers in the heart. In doing so one holds a chance of encountering the well-spring within the heart, called by many names: Bhairava, Siva, Isvara, Brahman, Purusha, Atman, or more simply the Self.
It is likely that Harbin Hot Springs will be rebuilt, at least eventually. The hotel may be rebuilt. The restaurant may be rebuilt. The homes around Harbin may be rebuilt. The little town we all love, Middletown, may be rebuilt. Harbin is a place for alternative spirituality. Quan Yin is the matron saint of the spring. And so it seems fitting that a few of us 'alternative folks' may contemplate Bhairava and Bhairavi walking the grounds, blessing the fields of ash with awareness of the Self. And we may also contemplate the wellspring that endures, both within and without. Those beautiful states of consciousness we feel soaking in the springs are within us always. They are us. They are our most essential nature.

An utterly captivating showing from Mayacamas, the 2015 Chardonnay was whole cluster pressed and fermented in a combination of small barrels (7% new), stainless steel, and large format foudres prior to seven months on lees, for a total ten months of aging. The finished wine saw an additional nine months in bottle before release. The end result is a simply brilliant wine, which instantly bursts open with vivid aromatics of lemon oil, green apple and pear, joined together with orange zest and salty minerals which all come together in the glass. On the palate this is beautifully textured, with wonderful elegance and lovely streaks of minerality running through its core. This continues to impress with its stunning combination of acidity and minerality which is absolutely outstanding, as this remains laser focused through the bright, vibrant finish. Overall, this is a absolutely fascinating Chardonnay which is already extremely attractive, yet will continue to drink well with additional bottle age. Overall, this is a total gem from the team at Mayacamas, which should not be missed. (Best 2018-2027) - January, 2018 (JD)

Hannon House is on the river, under the sky where fishing and outdoor fun come naturally. Hannon House is a 116 year old farm house in the style of old rural Montana. The lifestyle and prices reflect the character and unique location of this rare piece of history. If you are looking for a taste of old Montana this is it.
A two bedroom cabin is located adjacent to the original farmhouse at the historic Hannon homestead on the Bitterroot River, three miles south of Darby, Montana. Settled in the late 1880's, the farmhouse and grounds sit on the western edge of the Bitterroot River with over 1700 feet of river frontage. Structures on the property date from the 1880's to 1974 including hand hewn logs and milled lumber barns and out buildings. The main house was titled in 1900. This is the site of the area's original mercantile and post office. Bordered by the Bitterroot and Sapphire mountains, and situated on the Lewis and Clark trail (really, they walked through the front yard) the house sits in the shadow of Trapper Peak, the highest peak in the Bitterroot Range. The site is located at the confluence of the East fork, West fork and Main branch of the Bitterroot River. This is a taste of old Montana steps from one of the finest native trout streams in the west. This is a working farm including irrigated hay production and garden crops. Property restoration is ongoing and currently in progress. Cabin accommodations are clean and simple with an emphasis on flyfishing, watersports, hiking, hunting, skiing, open space and relaxation. The site is hosted with the property owner residing on the premises. You are free to explore the grounds, fish the river, participate in activities or find the peace that solitude provides. We are 27 miles from Lost Trails Powder Mountain ski resort. Restaurants and shopping are located within 3 miles in the town of Darby.

America take note. Marriage, the institution that was designed by God to provide protection and stability for children as they grew and matured into adults, continues to become more rare with every passing year.
The newest number: 51% of Americans are married.
The more disturbing fact is that marriage is no longer viewed as necessary to raise children. Why get married any more if you're living together and laws allow you to claim the same financial advantages as if you were married.
Marriage rates in the US have hit an all-time low, as economic forces and social shifts have pushed couples to delay or avoid matrimony, according to an analysis of census data by the Pew Research Center.
Just 51 per cent of people over age 18 are married today, compared to 57 per cent in 2000 and 72 per cent in 1960, with trends pointing toward wedded couples becoming a social minority within a few years.
"Public attitudes about the institution of marriage are mixed," the report said. "Nearly four-in-10 Americans say marriage is becoming obsolete," yet most people who have never married say they would like to some day.
A sharp drop in marriages occurred between 2009 and 2010 when the US economy was in recession, with new nuptials declining 5 per cent. Young people, in particular, drove the rates down, as marriage rates fell 13 per cent among 18 to 24 year olds.
"This trend reflects the changing labour market that young adults face," said Andrew Cherlin, a sociology professor at Johns Hopkins University. They "think that you shouldn't get married until you're positive that you can make a go of it financially."
Outsourcing and automation of jobs in the manufacturing sector over the last several decades have contributed to the decline of marriages among those with no university education, Mr Cherlin said, with the recent recession and spike in unemployment making the working class even less likely to marry.
Declining job security and the erosion of health and pension plans – benefits that were previously the mark of a promising groom – have also made marriage less appealing.
University-educated people are still getting married, but not until much later, after they have finished school and invested in building their careers. High divorce rates among baby boomers also scared many of their children into skipping or postponing marriage, the Pew researchers said. The age of first marriage rose higher than ever in the last year to an average 26.5 years for women and 28.7 for men.
Instead, couples are living together and having children without getting married. Cohabitation, living alone and single parenthood have all grown more prevalent, the report said.
The trends are consistent in other countries as well.
"The United States is by no means the only nation where marriage has been losing 'market share' for the past half century," the researchers said. "The same trend has taken hold in most other advanced post-industrial societies."
Clair Brown, an economics and public policy professor at the University of California at Berkeley, said that these sociological trends are often beneficial for the economy. People who stay in school longer and wait to have children get better jobs and have more mature relationships, she said.
Many European countries have recognised that and granted the rights of the married to cohabiting couples, she said, adding that the US would benefit if it followed their lead.
"Let's take Sweden. Everyone cohabitates in Sweden and the state doesn't treat you any differently," she said. "When will the US government catch up with the social norms?"

I studied Google Earth very carefully last night. I wanted to find the road which ran along the edge of a large reservoir I could see, which is very close to a very small village called Khao Krapuk.
I eventually found the reservoir but the light was very 'dirty'. It will be worth a trip back there though. I also wanted to get some images of the pineapple harvest.
I could see that by 'flying crow' it was about 30 km's from where I am to the reservoir. By road it ended up around 50 km's as there are no roads which go directly there. Being a mountainous area, the roads follow the valleys.
I took off in the general direction and also detoured a bit to find some pineapple harvesting. There was plenty of evidence of it being underway, many full trucks, but I could not find any actual harvesting.
Keep in mind that the pineapple area is tens of thousands of acres. I did find some pineapples which look like they will be harvested in the next day, or so, though.
Anyway, just a few pix and all have had some slight adjustment in ReDynaMix single HDR program. Works well.
All in all, travelled 150 km's for the round trip. Ended up making quite a few detours.
Pineapple country. This is from three images and then stitched into a panoramic. This one was taken along the way and was the only place I saw where the sky was not fully overcast.
Pineapples ready for harvest. Hopefully tomorrow.
One section of the road had dozens of 'spirit houses' lining either side. I have no idea why. This is just a few of them.
I pulled up at a small rural store to get a drink. Spotted this fruit and having no idea what it was, asked the proprietor. Pawpaws.
The store.
The proprietor with her small daughter.
Birds at the edge of the reservoir. Not a great shot but what do you expect for 720 mm on a 'dirty sky' day ?

With gratitude to Arthur S. McFee, MD, Professor Emeritus
UTHSCSA Department of Surgery
American history did not start with the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock. It is a very complex continuum of colonization, conquest and recolonization reaching back many millennia. Large and often very complex urban centers existed for centuries in the Americas well before 1492 and were the result of native conquest and adaptation. Spanish conquest was prominent in the first half of the sixteenth century; monks from institutions in Mexico at Zacatecas and Queretaro were busy in missions in San Antonio five decades before Junipero Serra from the same institutions introduced grapes to California in 1785. The cornerstone of the San Antonio deValero Mission (The Alamo) was laid in 1744; and that of the San Fernando Cathedral shortly thereafter. Not on a direct route between any two points in the United States, the city is however strategically located. It is a focus where the routes from Mexico, all of South Texas and the Gulf Coast converge naturally.
By 1836, it had become a flourishing town of greater then 5000 souls. That year saw the fall of the Alamo and the battle of San Jacinto by which Texas gained independence from Mexico. After this war, in which San Antonio was taken and retaken at least five times it was left as a burnt out shell of approximately 800 people. In1849, Rutherford B. Hayes, then a young journalist, described it as a 'ruined, old Spanish town'. This far from prophetic statement was made at the onset of a period of rapid growth. By 1880, the city had grown to over thirty-thousand. In the next 40 years, it increased six to seven fold to over 200,000. In 1892, it passed Galveston as Texas' largest city; and just recently, we surpassed Dallas by a narrow margin as the second largest city in the state. In the past few weeks, we became the seventh largest American city.
This city has not been immune to urban problems even though its growth, based on several pillars has been fairly steady. An especially enlightening and easily readable small volume: 'Deep in the heart of San Antonio; Land and Life in South Texas' by Dr. Char Miller, a professor of history at Trinity University, chronicles these issues very neatly. The pillars of our growth have been diverse: Ranching-cattle; agriculture-cotton; oil; real-estate; the military; tourism; and mostly recently health related endeavors. Each has been more or less prominent at a given time over the past century.
The problems have been those of any major polyglot city as the haves and have - nots become more sharply divided. Well over one half the population is Hispanic; and this segment is growing. A single anecdote of a personal nature indicates much of the social temper of the city in the first six or seven decades of the twentieth century in what was by any standard a rather unsophisticated place. Our hospital was built with no ICU's. We fashioned one for Surgery at the south end of the 7th and 8th floors, but it was only a patched up job. In 1972, I was able to secure funds to build our 2nd SICU adjacent to the operating room where outpatient surgery is now. It was necessary to approach private donors for funding for the equipment. One such had been the mayor of San Antonio and was the head of a large savings and loan company - now defunct . His reply personally to me was 'money - for Mexicans' in an aghast tone of voice. I am fairly certain that racism was not a part of this man's creed. He had been brought up to regard this segment of society as a breed apart and simply not to be treated otherwise; and no money was forthcoming.
In the time that we have been here - nearly four decades much of this attitude has changed. Social change, here as everywhere, is inevitable but not rapid. Flood control in the city for instance was by no means uniform after the Olmos dam was completed in 1927 and it was a real problem in 1998. Certain areas of the city did not have dependable or uniform water or electricity till the 1950's; and certainly vast differences still exist among school districts.
Nevertheless, San Antonio has evolved into a major metropolitan area. Some of the charm of smaller or more collected communities remains while much of the small town attraction has faded; it is a necessary price for growth, but it is safe to say that San Antonio has a robust economy large enough to support a major metropolitan entity. Medicine is one of the most recent and most important entries in this support group.
The lessons of this growth are those of every developing community skewed to a very definite population preponderance. Obviously tolerance is imperative; education will pay off in development; opportunity must be made available widely.

I wrote a couple of posts about losing weight, because it is something that so many of us wish we could do successfully. The first post dealt with the fact that it can be a tough thing to navigate when talking about it and talking to people who've done it. The second one was about how to do it. This one is about how to thrive…because it's one thing to actually lose weight, but it's another thing to be joyful, satisfied, healthy and flourishing.
When I use the term healthy, it must be understood that there are many facets to the word health. Someone can look very healthy on the outside and actually be very sick on the inside. On the flip side, someone can look not so healthy on the outside but their numbers may be in the healthy range. Someone can be beautiful–the picture of health– on the outside but hurting and in a dark place on the inside. I was talking about my thoughts on this topic with a friend and fellow blogger at Fan and Flame, and he suggested that I title it "How to Thrive". I think thriving encapsulates exactly what I want to discuss because simply looking healthy on the outside or reaching number goals can be unfulfilling. To thrive–and thrive once "health" is achieved–is what I believe should be the ultimate goal when losing weight.
So what does it mean to thrive? What does thriving look like? What are the obstacles that keep one from thriving?
- Thriving means freedom; free from the chains of bondage that addiction brings. Cre, a friend of mine who recently lost 60 lbs, said this, "I came to realize that food was a 'drug' to which I was addicted, and, as I believe was the case with any addiction, I was going to need God to show up in big and tangible ways if I was going to break free from it." While many identify with this kind of bondage, there is another kind that exists on the other end of the spectrum. If gone unchecked, the bondage of structure and numbers–diets and calories–can be an obsession that can be a major obstacle in thriving as well.
- Thriving exudes inner joy. It is exciting to reach goals and receive encouraging comments about one's appearance. However, when one's happiness and mood is dependent on whether or not someone recognized how good they looked that day, or if their weekly weight loss goal was reached, or if they had cake at their friend's birthday party last night, then a healthy balance has not been achieved. Happiness can change in an instant but joy can be constant.
- The biggest obstacle to thriving is self-confidence. Let me explain. By self-confidence I mean being confident that you can do it yourself and relying only on your own strength to do something–like overcome addiction. If I am honest, there are things in my heart that I simply cannot overcome on my own. Things like lack of self-control, or obsession with numbers, or the constant comparing of myself to those around me. These things are the result of sin in my heart, and I cannot win that battle on my own. When I sat down and talked to one woman about her weight loss journey, I started off with, "How did you do it?" The first thing out of her mouth was, "Through prayer and by the grace of God." She knew that she couldn't do it on her own, and God gave her the tools (like self-control) to lose the weight she needed to lose to be healthy. Another woman I talked to told me about how when she lost weight in the past, it went to her head and that self-confidence became her downfall. When she was successful the second time around, she said that she "wanted people to know about Christ's love." I think what she meant by that is that God cares about people and loves them. He wants us to thrive.
So…how do we thrive? Whether or not you are trying to lose weight, thriving begins with a look at the health of your heart. What is it's diagnosis? The truth of the matter is that without a cure, we are all very sick. Tim Keller sums it up like this: "We are more sinful and flawed in ourselves than we ever dared believe, yet at the very same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared hope." Thriving begins with understanding this truth, and clinging to it daily.

(Fairbanks) – To ensure that king salmon spawning escapements are met in 2018, an annual limit for king salmon, 20 inches and greater in length, of one fish is established in the Tanana River sport fishery. When a king salmon is harvested you must record your harvest on the back of your sport fishing license or on a harvest record card, if you are not required to have a license. In addition, the use of bait is prohibited in the flowing waters of all tributaries of the Tanana River. The use of bait is still permitted in the mainstem portion of the Tanana River to allow fishing for other species such as burbot. These restrictions will be in effect from 12:01 a.m. Monday, July 2 through 11:59 p.m. Wednesday, August 15, 2018.
The estimated king salmon passage at the Pilot Station sonar is below average for years with normal run timing. This indicates that the run may come in below the lower end of the preseason projection range of 173,000 to 251,000 king salmon. The magnitude of the 2018 run should be sufficient to ensure king salmon escapements goals are met in the Tanana River drainage due to conservative management practices implemented in the Yukon and Tanana river commercial, subsistence, and sport fisheries.
Counting towers on the Chena and Salcha rivers were operational on June 26 and no king salmon have been counted to date. The department will monitor these returns closely and projected escapements to these rivers will be used when considering additional regulatory actions.
Klaus Wuttig, Tanana Area Management Biologist
