I agree with Carolinapam--better to be safe than sorry. I was diagnosed April 2010, stage 3, triple+, tumor 5 cm. Had 4 A/C & 12 taxol concurrent with Herceptin (not perjetta). The Herceptin was once every 3 wks. for one year. After chemo, I had a lumpectomy because the tumor had shrunk, and then had another lumpectomy 3 wks. later to get cleaner margins. Had all nodes removed. Then had 33 rounds of radiation, followed by finishing Herceptin and what was supposed to be 5 years of the AIs. However, I only did one year of the AIs. Hope that helps. Hugs & prayers, Mary

Trinity Academy Graduation
Trinity Academy Graduation 2015
June 10, 2015
Remarks by The Rev. Donald L. Hamer, Rector
It was at an annual retreat of the Vestry, or governing board, of Trinity Episcopal Church in 2007 that we were engaging in one of those exercises where the leader says, "So you are in a helicopter flying over 120 Sigourney Street in the year 2015, and you look down at Trinity Church. Describe what you see." And more than 2/3 of those present envisioned some type of school in our educational building. And so the seeds of Trinity Academy were planted.
And now here we are -- June 2015 – and we are celebrating our first graduation. It's a day I was never sure I would see, and I just want to give thanks to God for blessing this school and its mission. I also want to give my deepest thanks to the many people – staff, board members, advisors, donors, volunteers – who, in their own ways, have helped to make this day a reality.
You – the parents and graduates of 2015– have been partners with us as Trinity Episcopal Day School has evolved into Trinity Academy. To be sure, it has not always been a smooth ride as we have worked to provide a quality, well-rounded, nurturing, and formative experience at little or no cost to the parents and the students. We have had many successes – and for that we give thanks. On those occasions when we have fallen short of our own expectations or yours, we thank you for your understanding that we were doing our best under frequently challenging circumstances.
Part of our mission at Trinity Academy is to provide a strong foundation on which to build the remainder of the student's academic career and, indeed, a foundation on which to build a successful, satisfying life. While this evening marks the formal end of your Trinity Academy career, we hope it will not mark the end of our relationship. We want to hear how you are doing at your new schools. We want to continue to share the joys of your successes. And we want to be here for you in those times of disappointment when things aren't going as you had hoped. We hope that tonight will mark just the first transition in a lifetime relationship between you and Trinity Academy.
And now I want to share a word with the parents and guardians. I remember when my children graduated from 8th grade. It was like a spell came over them – suddenly I couldn't see the cute, bouncing, joyful child I thought I knew – and at times I didn't think I knew who this person was any more. Have any of you had that experience? Here is the good news: It is normal. And it does end. At some point. In the meantime, I share some folk wisdom I learned during the teenage years of my children: There are only two things we can hope to give to our children: roots and wings. The roots of personal and civic responsibility, of positive self image, a personal value system to help them understand that there is something larger at work in the universe than themselves. It is during this time that they are beginning to spread those wings, and sometimes those wings will want to get a little wild and fly away from the roots. That, too, is part of the growing process, of testing what the limits are. I want to share a little secret with you: They really do want you to continue to guide them, just perhaps with a lighter touch than when they were small children. Oh, sure, they will object and kick and scream and tell you they are ready to be independent – and at the same time they will be secretly comforted and glad for your presence and concern, because that shows them you really do care.
And now a word for the graduates. I'm sorry that my role as rector of the church has not allowed me the time or the occasions to get to know each one of you better. I can tell you that each of you has been a source of special joy for me and for many of our parishioners here at Trinity Church. The hugs in the hallway, sharing your excitement over field trips and special events, the individual cards you each sent me during my long illness over the winter – all of these have meant so much to me. And I will tell you that in my own home – right when you come in the front door for everyone to see – hangs a piece of art that will always remind me of each of you: That is the beautiful still life painting of flowers in a vase, done by Mariah. While that painting is by Mariah, it reminds me, whenever I see it, of the wonderful, unique talents that each of you has. Those talents are the gifts God has given you to share with the world.
You heard what I said to your parents and guardians. Now I'm going to say to you: Be gentle with them. You know, you guys don't come with instruction books. Even if you've got older brothers and sisters, each one of you is unique. You need to know, whatever their individual limitations – that your parents and guardians are doing their best. As you begin to spread your wings while you grow into adulthood, remember that is not something that happens overnight – it takes years and, I would argue, takes your entire lifetime. When you disagree with them, try to put yourself in their shoes, and maybe that will help with communication.
And about those roots. Dr. Lou has given each of you a wonderful book – it looks like a children's book, but there is wisdom in there for a lifetime. I have written in the front of each of your books a passage from the prophet Micah from the Hebrew scriptures: What does the Lord require of you? To do what is right, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God. I have that verse written and hanging on my office wall. In times of doubt and confusion, think about that verse: It can provide you a lot of guidance throughout your lives.
So as you graduate tonight, I leave you with this blessing:
May God bless you with discomfort at easy answers, half truths, and superficial relationships so that you may live deep within your heart.
May God bless you with anger at injustice, oppression and exploitation of people so that you may work for justice, freedom and peace.
May God bless you with tears to shed for those who suffer from pain, rejection, hunger and war, so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and to turn their pain to joy.
And may God bless you with just enough foolishness to believe that you can make a difference in this world, so that you can do what others claim cannot be done.
God bless you all.

Rose Ann Vuich, a conservative Democrat from the Central Valley who built a reputation for unswerving honesty as the first woman in the state Senate, died Thursday at her home in Dinuba. She was 74.
The cause of death was complications of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease.
Vuich integrated the all-male preserve of the Senate in 1977 and was a forceful advocate for Central Valley agriculture for the next 16 years.
"What's in it for Dinuba?"--referring to the farm town southeast of Fresno--became her signature line, as she pored over colleagues' bills, questioning the numbers, the motives and what, if any, good her vote might bring to her constituents.
But her penchant for detail--nitpicking, her male colleagues often grumbled--got the attention of the other senators, who knew soon after she arrived that business as usual would no longer cut it in the Legislature's upper chamber.

Labels: Amos, Holidays, Hornes, Laura and Eric, Thanksgiving, Vol. 2
We had a perfect Thanksgiving this year. I think our guests were the most helpful guests one could hope for. Multiple times during the day I thought how thankful I was that the Hornes and the Browns would be spending Thanksgiving with us, because I knew it would be good company and no pressure.
Eric made the turkey, and boy, did he spend a lot of time on it. He started soaking it the night before.
Then he basted it,
and basted it,
and basted it.
It was delicious (and got better the next day), but Eric was thoroughly disappointed. So sad! We ate well, and enjoyed good company.
I do owe a special thanks to David for doing ALL of the dishes, because that left me with the energy to pull out and put up my Christmas decorations.

super duper light cake recipe
My friend O shared with me a fantastically easy and light cake recipe. Originally we made it in the rice cooker, which didn't work very well since my rice cooker has various issues, but I recreated it today in the oven and it came out awesomely.
It's an extremely light cake- the kind that serves more like a vehicle for frosting than anything else...
This is sure to be a hit with asian grown-ups, since sweets are generally not super sugary in Asia.
The only catch is that you have to whip the egg whites until your hands fall off. There's probably a way to incorporate cream of tartar for an easier way to make it rise, but I'll have to play with that in the future. Oh well, at least you're getting a good bicep workout in; all the more reason to treat yourself!
*4 eggs, yolks and whites seperated
*1/2 cup sugar
*1 cup flour
*about 1-2 tablespoons milk
*1 teaspoon vanilla
*pinch of salt
*You can serve/garnish it any way you'd like; with strawberries and whipped cream, frosting, dusted with powdered sugar, etc. I spread it with some chocolate ganache (melted semi-sweet chocolate chips) and sprinkled some chopped almonds, which is great too.
Pre-heat oven to 300 degrees (unless you're using a rice cooker.)
1.) Seperate egg yolks and whites into different bowls
2.) Add 1/4 cup of sugar into each bowl
3.) Whip egg whites and sugar until stiff peaks form
4.) Whip egg yolks and sugar until they are a very pale yellow color.
5.) Mix both together and add in flour until incorporated
6.) Add milk until mixture ribbons, however little/much needed.
7.) Add vanilla and salt
8.) If you have a rice cooker, heat it up and then cook the cake at "heat" for 10 minutes and "cook" for 10 minutes. Resist the urge to open the lid and check it because it will deflate if lid is opened too early! If you're using an oven, bake for 10 minutes at 200 degrees and 5-7 minutes at 300 degrees. It's ready when it has risen and a toothpick comes out clean.
Decorate as you see fit. I melted some chocolate chips with the microwave and smeared it on, along with sprinkling sliced almonds on top. I would recommend a really light and fluffy frosting to go along with this cake.

Connor Joel Franta (born September 12, 1992) is an American YouTuber, entrepreneur, entertainer, and writer.[2][3]
As of September 2018, his self-named main channel on YouTube has over 5.5 million subscribers. Franta was formerly a member of YouTube group Our Second Life (stylized Our2ndLife and O2L) under the Fullscreen Network,[4] but is now an independent member of the Big Frame network, managed by Andrew Graham.[5]
Franta has recently become involved in various entrepreneurial enterprises, including a clothing line, music curation, as well as a coffee and lifestyle brand named Common Culture. His debut book, a memoir titled A Work in Progress, was released on April 21, 2015. In July 2015, details of Heard Well, a record label Franta co-founded, were announced.[6]
Connor Joel Franta was born in Wisconsin, to Peter and Cheryl Franta, a physician and homemaker, respectively.[7] Shortly after his birth, his family moved to La Crescent, Minnesota. He, his older brother Dustin, older sister Nicola, and younger brother Brandon were raised as Roman Catholics.[8][9]
Franta attended St. Peter's Catholic School, Hokah, Minnesota, from elementary school through 8th grade.[10] As a child, he was overweight, leading his mother to sign him up for a YMCA swimming team. He ran cross country while attending La Crescent High School, where he graduated in 2011.[7] He studied business at the Roman Catholic College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University (Collegeville, Minnesota). In his sophomore year, he added an arts minor, with an emphasis on films.[7][11]
Inspired by other YouTube vloggers such as Shane Dawson and Mitchell Davis, Franta uploaded his first video to YouTube in August 2010. He has more than 400 million views on his channel and over 5.5 million subscribers, making it the 158th most subscribed channel in the world.[12][13]
In 2012, he joined a collaboration channel known as "Our2ndLife" (or O2L for short) along with 5 other YouTube personalities (Kian Lawley, Trevor Moran, Justin "JC" Caylen, Ricky Dillon and Sam Pottorff) which helped him gain popularity. He announced his departure from the group in July 2014 due to personal issues.[14]
In 2014, Franta was nominated for a Teen Choice Award in the "Web Star: Male" category, but lost to Tyler Oakley.[15] He has made cameo appearances in the 2014 and 2015 YouTube Rewind videos, a tribute by YouTube to the year's most popular videos on the website.[16][17]
In 2015, Franta was again nominated for a Teen Choice Award in the "Entertainer of the Year" category and in the "Choice YouTuber" category, but lost to Cameron Dallas and Bethany Mota respectively.[18] He also was nominated for a Streamy Award in the "Audience Choice Entertainer of the Year" category.[19] In October 2015, Franta appeared as a featured celebrity at StreamCon which took place in New York City.[20]
In January 2016, Franta won the "Favorite YouTube Star" award at the 42nd People's Choice Awards.[21] In October, Franta appeared at the "We Day" Conference in Toronto, Canada. [22]
Franta celebrated his 22nd birthday in 2014 by launching a fundraising campaign for The Thirst Project to build water wells for people in Swaziland. He set a goal of raising of $120,000 within a month by offering fans incentives such as T-shirts, posters, an acknowledgement in one of his videos and a Skype call with him. Within 48 hours, fans raised over US$75,000 and met the original $120,000 goal in 10 days. By the end the month, the campaign raised over $230,000.[23] He later visited Swaziland to see the wells the donations helped build. Franta received the Governor's Award for his work at the Thirst Project's 6th Annual Thirst Gala on June 30, 2015.[24]
Franta launched a second campaign for his 23rd birthday with the goal of raising $180,000 in 30 days.[25] When the campaign closed in October 2015, he had raised more than $191,000 dollars, which contributed to the building of 16 water wells in Swaziland.[26]
On November 11, 2014, Franta released a compilation album, Crown, Vol. 1, of songs from his choice of up-and-coming musicians. The album charted on the Billboard 200.[27] A second compilation was released under Franta's Common Culture brand on March 3, 2015, followed by a third compilation on July 24, 2015, a fourth on December 25, 2015, and a fifth on April 28, 2016.[28][29]
In July 2015, it was announced that Franta had started a record label, Heard Well, in partnership with his manager Andrew Graham and Jeremy Wineberg of music distribution and licensing company Opus Label (through which Franta's first two compilations were released). Variety described Heard Well as "a music label focused on producing compilation albums featuring undiscovered artists as curated by digital 'influencers.'" Amanda Steele, Anthony Quintal (Lohanthony), and Jc Caylen are the first digital stars signed to put together compilations.[30]
In February 2015, Franta released his own line of coffee, called Common Culture Coffee.[31][32] The coffee was produced in collaboration with LA Coffee Club and $1 from each bag of coffee sold was donated to The Thirst Project.[33]
In June 2015, Franta released a small limited edition line of clothing, made in collaboration with Junk Food Clothing.[34] In January 2016, Franta launched his new website for Common Culture.[35]
Franta spent over a year writing his memoir, A Work in Progress, which talks about moments from his life since birth and personal stories. It was released on April 21, 2015.[36] Accompanying the release of the book, Franta had a book tour in the United States with appearances in Minnesota, Houston, Orlando, New York City, New Jersey, and Los Angeles,[36] London, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds in the United Kingdom,[37] and Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth in Australia.[38] The book spent 16 weeks on The New York Times Best Seller list and sold over 200,000 copies.[39]
In January 2017, Franta announced he would be releasing his second book, Note to Self, on April 18, 2017. The book features essays, stories, poetry and photography by Franta about issues including clinical depression, social anxiety, breakups, and self-love.[40] Franta said "If my first book, A Work in Progress, was a reflection of my external life so far, then this follow-up is a reflection of my internal life."[41]
On December 8, 2014, Franta came out as gay in a YouTube video, stating he has accepted who he is and is "happy with that person".[42] He also spoke on the help he got from others on the Internet, and wanted to give people struggling with their sexuality similar advice.[42] This six-minute long video, titled "Coming Out", has over 12 million views and over 949,000 likes, being the second most viewed video on Franta's channel as of June 19, 2018.[12]

The key word today was rest. I slept in until after 7:00 then went to the hotel restaurant for a light breakfast. After I ate I wondered down to the trailer to see if anyone was cleaning their bikes. Lois S and several others were going into town for a quick look. The shuttle was leaving so I decided to join them. Of course, I did not have my camera. Lois took several pictures for me but her flash driving is not working so she cannot transfer them to me yet. Hopes to have a new one in Kerrville.
Didn't do much in town but walk around. Was back at the hotel in a couple of hours. I then cleaned my bike and wondered around the hotel. I got these pictures of a herd of javalina on the grounds. I spent pretty much the rest of the day in my room, knitting and relaxing.

I needed a yellow shirt to wear today. Looking in my drawer, I only had one. My Sweden shirt from a dear, dear friend. I wore it. And it made me think.
Oh, Sweden, how I miss you. I miss you like crazy. I was a complete ass to you and I regret it. I was selfish and impatient and stupid. I know that there is no going back, no forgiveness, but I wish there was.
Sweden's not just a place on a map for me. It's a person. I don't know how or why he found me, but he did. And we...well, we were friends. More than friends perhaps. Packages and letters back and forth. Marathon video calls. Pages upon pages of IMs.
And I miss him.
I had met someone new. A local idiot. I broke contact with Sweden. I was stupid. After the local idiot was gone, I reconnected, but it wasn't the same. It couldn't be. I regret that.
Even though I've moved on and so has he, each in our own lives, I miss the marathon conversations. I miss seeing his face all the time, even if he does live on the other side of the world. I miss him making fun of me for my horrible Swedish or for never being out of bed when we talked. I miss hearing how his races went, worrying if his travels were safe. But you know what? I still do that, I still worry about him. I try to track his stats during track season. I pray that he's safe during his travels. My phone password is related to him. Even if were not friends and don't talk anymore. I still look for him on messenger. Makes me sound crazy, doesn't it?
So, I miss him. I worry about him. It sucks. The last time we communicated, he had been in New York. It made me wish that we were still friends, because he could have come here. And I hope that if he ever did make it to my neck of the woods, he'd at least email me. It's hopeful thinking and I need to let it go.
But I'm keeping my shirt. And I can still tell you what time it is in Sweden just by looking at my watch. When I hear certain songs, I still think about him.
Jag är ledsen min vän och jag saknar dig.

The Wedding Playlist
When The Roughneck and I got married, I made him a mix CD for his wedding present. It was full of music I like, not so much what he likes. This is the playlist, complete with videos! Well, almost all videos. All for y'all.
I even titled it something cool, but now I can't remember what it was and The Roughneck can't actually find the CD. Oops.
January Wedding-The Avett Brothers
Use Somebody-Kings of Leon
Easy-Cory Branan (Not a video, I don't know why the only video of this song on YouTube is Ben Nichols.)
We've Only Just Begun-Gals Panic (There is no video on anything nor is there any audio of this anywhere. And I'm too lazy/inept to upload it myself. It's a cover of the Carpenters' song, just done in ska and the f-bomb makes an appearance.)
Have a Little Faith in Me-John Hiatt
Love Struck Baby-Stevie Ray Vaughan (We went to his statue on our first date because The Roughneck couldn't think of anywhere else to take me and he didn't want to take me home yet. We had our first kiss there. And our "extra" session with the wedding photographer was there.)
When It Don't Come Easy-Patty Griffin
Forver-Ben Harper
Livin' On A Prayer-Bon Jovi (OMG the hair!)
Kind and Generous-Natalie Merchant
Love Song-311
Reach Out I'll Be There-The Four Tops
The House is Rockin'-Stevie Ray Vaughan
I Got You Babe-Sonny and Cher
Make You Feel My Love-Adele
Walkaround-Cory Branan
This is how Cory is normally, live. He's awesome and I love him. You should too. (Walkaround Live Show)
I Gotta Feeling-Black Eyed Peas
And I'm currently working on two different mixes. Another one for The Roughneck and one from high school. That's the one that'll be interesting. I find it interesting that we met after a Lucero show, but there's no Lucero on the mix. There just wasn't anything good enough. Mr. Branan, on the other hand, is on there twice. Go figure. I debated explaining why I picked these songs, but if you really want to know, you'll ask, right?

Thursday, February 4, 2010
Geez, y'all! How about an update?
In a nutshell:
- The Roughneck officially moved in in June. He ended up paying rent on an apartment he didn't live in and barely visited. He said it was worth it to live with me. Although, he complains about lack of closet space. ;) How much could a guy have to hang up??
- I got engaged in July. It was wonderful! Right before the 4th of July because he just couldn't wait. The ring is beautiful, a ruby heart. You know, because he gave me his heart in July.
- I started my fall semester of school. It was pretty hard. I had to take an anthropology class. I do not like science. Especially science classes that require a research paper on stuff I can't even understand. I got a B in that class though! Lit made me read The Awakening by Kate Chopin. If I could go back in time and meet one person, I'd meet her and ask her what it was really all about. And then shove it down her throat. I pulled a B in that class too. The other two classes were nothing to write home about.
- I joined the history society. I figure it'll look good on my transcript. Last semester I was the "extra" officer. Hey, go big or go home, right? This semester I'm the secretary. Yay, promotion!
- The Roughneck and I set a date for the wedding. Then we moved it up a couple months. The reason why is not something I want to talk about anymore. It was something that necessitated moving it, but now doesn't exist. I am trying to be ok with that and getting better at it.
- I managed to plan 95% of the wedding during December. His mom is a piece of work, let me tell you! First, she wanted to have the reception at the church. Um, no. Then at a VFW hall in BFE. Or their church in a town 45 minutes away. And then, back the the church idea, if I'd just move it to say, 10 AM, she'd pay to have the Save the Dates reprinted. I didn't have Save the Dates, I had already sent the invites! ARGH! My mom ended up paying for the reception and said I could have it wherever I wanted. I found a space and it was really cool.
- So, the wedding? January 16th. It was beautiful. Well, that's what I hear anyway. I was so nervous and happy and excited and trying not to cry that I don't remember all of it. Bits and pieces keep coming to me. Like me leaning over to The Roughneck when his brother was doing the reading and saying "Oh, yeah. I forgot he couldn't read." It was a family joke, but he is a slow reader. I'm glad he got the short one. I almost cried coming up the aisle when I saw The Roughneck and he almost did the same. My sister's boyfriend took video of our vows and gave it to us. It was so pretty! It made me cry and I'm tearing up right now. In the video, you can see how nervous I was and how I almost lost it. The Roughneck crossed his eyes though and it made me laugh. As a matter of fact, I giggled through the whole thing practically. It's my nervous tic.
- Lots of people came. All of his friends, his brother from out of state, his niece from out of town. Not all of my people got to come and I was disappointed. I had wanted at least 1 person from my dad's family to show up, but none of them could make it. L&C couldn't make it either, but it was like she was there anyway. My iPod started playing an entire album of a guy she turned me on to. It was awesome!
- We had a bit of drama with The Roughneck's ex roommate. See, I invited him and his boyfriend. Then there was whole bunch of drama with them and I wasn't supposed to know they broke up. In fact, I didn't find out that they had broken up and the other had moved out of state until the week of the wedding. The ex-roommate wanted to bring his new bf and I told him no. So he gets all pissed and says he's not coming. Fine. Look, it was a very intimate wedding with only people we knew and were close with. Neither The Roughneck or I knew this guy and I didn't want to meet him on my wedding. The ex-roommate relented and came by himself. HA!
- The wedding is over and done with. The Roughneck and I had a great two night/three day honeymoon. I didn't want to come back to the real world. Alas, I had to start the semester. :( It turned out ok though because this past week it was just me and him in the house and we took full advantage!!
- On Tuesday after the wedding, my MIL sat her two sons down and told them how their dad has been running around on her. The boys had had a problem with a stalker. They thought it was The Roughneck's ex. It wasn't. It was their dad's jilted girlfriend. And the story is that she's more loony than Bugs Bunny. The Roughneck is pretty pissed at, and hurt, by his dad. So am I. I am glad they waited until after the wedding to tell The Roughneck because he and I probably wouldn't have gotten married right then. It still pisses me off though that his dad is an asshole and there was tension between my parents-in-law at the wedding and people could tell. FIL has asked for forgiveness and I support The Roughneck in his decision. He doesn't know what that will be yet.
- Oh. The Roughneck was let go from his job in mid-December. From the church we were getting married at. The church where I have been a member for 15 years and where we met. That was a whole load of BS that is resulting in me leaving and transferring to another church. Bunch of money-grabbing hypocrites.
That's it for now. Sorry it's been so long. I don't seem to have much time for myself these days and it's taking it's toll on me mentally. I finally got a diagnosis of being bi-polar and somedays the meds help and other days not so much. But generally I am getting better. I think we have the dosage just about right.
Little Man is waiting on me for our Big Day of FUN. Children's Museaum and then a giant candy store and hot chocolate. What more could a Mama and Little Man want?

We are very pleased to present to you the latest in our compilation series, Sonic Soul Vol. 5 including great tracks from Analog Context, Inspector Macbet, JoC H & Gon Laserna and James Reid.
The first track is 'Cluster' from Analog Context. 'Cluster' is a quality deep house track perfect for warm ups or even a little later in the night. Beautifully crafted arpeggios combine with carefully selected vocals, a tight beat, dark atmosphere and a slightly progressive feel. The track is rich with melodies, arpeggios and simply top notch
The second track on this compilation comes from Inspector Macbet with releases on such labels as DeepClass Records, Ready Mix Records, Society 3.0 Recordings and many more.
His track 'Places' is a very deep cut, with subtle melodic elements, a bouncy bassline, guitar hits and perfectly placed percussive elements which all combine to create a
deep house treat, perfect for warm up sets.
JoC H and Gon Laserna have teamed up once again and created a very interesting, and unique deep house track that alternates between a straight up house beat and
some break beat sections. It is a dark track with a deep bassline, multiple extra bass hits, percussive arpeggios, and a touch of exotic elements to top it off. A must have
for those early night dark vibes.
James Reid has been very prolific of late with productions from his DJing work in Ibiza. His newest track on Sonic Soul Record 'Sonet' is a mood groover with a minimal deep
vibe. A catchy bassline, vocal cuts, and deep house chords combine to create a super deep track with a slightly harder edge, still perfect for those early hours.
Now into its 15th year, Get Physical continues to lead from the front with the fifth instalment in its 'Words Don't Come Easy' compilation series.
Once again packing a punch across 20 tracks, it arrives with two continuous mixes filled with fantastic artists old and new. There are many exclusives along the way from Cord Labuhn & Jansen, M.A.N.D.Y., Dakar, Noema, Sophia Saze, Ryan Murgatroyd and Mâhfoud & Javier Orduna and they all add up to one great listen.
The excellent first mix kicks off with Deetron's recent and most essential remix of one of Get Physical's new shining stars, aka South African artist Jazzuelle. It's a sensual neo-soul track that sets a fine mood. From there, Nico Stojan feat. JAW slips us into a warm deep house groove, the in-demand Bedouin offer piano laden and lazy vibes and Konstantin Sibold's Alternative Remix of WhoMadeWho picks up the pace with a more driven house style.
One of the standout offerings is 'The Clown' from Thor Rixon, which will be released as a new single on July 7th with remixes from Few Nolder & Lord Of the Isles. The moody and atmospheric track is a vocal laced deep house roller and has its own emotional video filmed by Rob Wisniewski in Berlin, which is to be released soon.
These are as much songs as they are tracks because of the rich musical vibes and romantic chords that drape over the drums through tracks from Robosonic and then a more prickly and dehumanised tech offering from M.A.N.D.Y.
The moodiness then dissipates with the super slow motion churns of Mâhfoud & Javier Ordun's 'Secrets' while the man behind Get Physical's other recent mix, Ben Hoo, shines once more with his organic and tender passage of ambiance.
Elsewhere, a 2017 edit of Dakar's I've Got That Feeling' goes straight for the dance floor, M.A.N.D.Y. make a second appearance with their spooky broken beat offering, and Jazzuelle also returns with his gorgeously pained and downbeat 'Relativity' before he starts to close things down with a slick remix of DJ Pierre. Last of all, Climbers leave us on a high with the shimmering and reflective, beachy house of 'Driving.'
This is a diverse yet coherent collection of tracks that show that Get Physical has never been more brilliantly eclectic in its offerings.
Release date July 21st, 2017
Prolific musicians Lisa Cork-Twiss a former member of Real McCoy and Bradley a respected vet of the San Francisco Bay Area house music scene have come together to create Glass Slipper and a sound that is fresh, exciting and masterful.
Glass Slipper 'Release Me' on Nylon Trax is truly infectious.
Lisa's powerful vocals sit perfectly within this Afro House passage that is laced with a deep soulfulness.
'Release Me' will surely set the dancer free in all of us.
Also included are remixes by Atlanta based Deique Bleu and The God Father of Afrotech Jaymz Nylon which only enriches this sonic masterpiece.
Continuing in the long line of historic and spectacular duos Glass Slipper's Lisa Cork-Twiss and Bradley have a connection that is both genuine and magical.

I'm inaugurating a monthly list of selected, notable upcoming music events in New York City as well as intriguing recordings I expect to come out in the month ahead. These are entirely subjective recommendations, of course, but you trust me, I'm sure! This is what I'm looking forward to in March:
February 28: Chamber Players of the League of Composers, Tenri Cultural Institute, 3PM. You'll allow me to cheat, I hope. This concert opens the League's performing season and has works old, new and experimental, featuring Eric Moe's excellent Strange, Exclaiming Music and Ben Johnston's astonishing, microtonal variations on Amazing Grace for string quartet. At $10 for the concert and $50 for the season (cheaper if you're a student), this series is easily the best value in new classical music.
March 2: Existential Pilot, WMP Concert Hall, 8PM. I'm not sure what to expect from this young composer's collective concert, and that's why I'm excited about it. Be curious.
March 6: Homage to Bronzino, Metropolitan Museum of Art, 7PM. A companion concert to their exhibit of Bronzino drawings, this is a concert of both Early Music and a new piece by Bruce Adolphe written for ancient instruments (listen to a podcast here).
March 9-10: Les Troyens, Valery Gergiev and the Mariinksy Orchestra, Carnegie Hall, 8PM. Arguably the world's leading conductor and his excellent orchestra presenting Berlioz's enormous, astonishing opera across two nights. Hugely dramatic and Romantic, effervescently crazy as only Berlioz could be, while this is not for all tastes it's self-recommending and promises to be one of the memorable events of 2010.
March 11: ETHEL plays Jacob TV, Merkin Concert Hall, 7:30PM. Under the auspices of New Sounds, music from one of the most interesting and still little-known contemporary composers. Jacob TV combines acoustic instruments and recorded media in pieces that are tough-minded and truly edgy. His works were the highlight of the PRISM sax quartets appearance at LPR.
March 11-14: Perspectives: Kronos Quartet, Zankel Hall 7:30PM. Their reputation precedes them and is deserved. This series demonstrates how important Kronos is; a Terry Riley retrospective, music with toys (including work from JG Thirlwell!), music from the Arctic Circle (!!) and music from across Asia. That last is connected to a CD coming out at the end of the month (which I'll be reviewing) of their collaboration with musicians from central Asia, a fine recording.
March 13: Early Music Exposed, Metropolitan Museum of Art, 10AM – 8PM. A series of lectures, readings and demonstrations, exploring Early Music and celebrating the welcome reopening of the museum's Andreé Mertens Galleries for Musical Instruments.
March 14: ACME, music of John Luther Adams and Kevin Volans, Le Poisson Rouge, 6:30PM. I can't recall when there has ever been an opportunity to see a John Luther Adams performance in New York, until now. His work is about sound, stillness, space and is beautiful and important.
March 16: S.E.M Ensemble, Paula Cooper Gallery, 8PM. As part of the excellent Interpretations series, Petr Kotik will lead a premiere of a work by Somei Satoh, featuring baritone Thomas Buckner. Another event to expect the surprising and the wonderful.
March 20-27: Hot and Cool: 40 Years of Jazz at NEC, various venues and times (complete schedule here). A celebration of the important legacy of the New England Conservatory's jazz program, featuring music from, by and about the musicians who have taught and/or trained there and a panel discussion on the work of the late and extremely great George Russell. There will be performances by Darcy James Argue's Secret Society, George Garzone, Marty Ehrlich and more. There's a companion CD that I will be reviewing soon.
March 21: Victoire, Brooklyn Public Library, 4PM. This is composer Missy Mazzoli's new music/electronic pop ensemble, and they make lovely, rich, intriguing instrumental music. One of the more interesting groups and concepts out there, and it's free.
March 26: Till Fellner, Beethoven Piano Sonatas, Metropolitan Museum of Art, 7PM. After Fellner's awesome recent performance in this series, I am almost quivering with excitement to hear him again. On the program are the composer's first two sonatas, the Pathétique and the Les Adieux sonatas. After what Fellner did with the Waldstein earlier this month, I can't wait to hear him play this profound work.
March 26: Music At First, Kathleen Supové, First Presbyterian Church of Brooklyn, 7:30PM. An intriguing new performance series in Brooklyn Heights, featuring new music and interesting musicians. Local, a bargain, and Supové is a real star.
March 2: Abraham Inc., "Tweet Tweet." What do you get when you combine classical/klezmer clarinetist David Krakauer and Fred Wesley from the JBs? Some serious and seriously hip, tough-minded funk. A more extensive review to come, but this is an amazing record. Their release party is a Le Poisson Rouge tonight! Tickets are going fast.
March 9: A new recording of Morton Feldman's Trio, and a bargain collection of the Monteverdi operas.
March 23: A collection of JG Thirlwell's Manorexia project. Also, the debut recording of the Dave Holland Octet, a must-have.
March 30: A cornucopia of beautiful, bargain boxes; John Eliot Gardiner leading period performances of the Beethoven symphonies, the cheapest set yet of Bernstein's Mahler cycle on Deutsche Gramaphone, Gergiev's great recordings of the Prokofiev operas, and the second volume of Robert Craft's important re-recordings of Schoenberg on Naxos.

The main reason why I do not drive is necessity. I do not need the use of a car. This has the added benefit of reducing my costs drastically. However if approach the car from a purely mathematical point of view there could be another reason why I would not drive; efficiency. Is the ICE necessary? Yes. Is it efficient? No.
Efficiency 1
The first measure for efficiency that people know can be miles per gallon or liters per kilometer. However I want to look towards the energy inputs and outputs of the car and see what are used. The input is the energy contained in let's say gasoline/petrol. The outputs are in the energy used in moving the car forward which are (but not limited to) overcoming rolling resistance, drive train losses (friction, heat), engine losses (heat, noise etc) and so on. According to the link, if I assume that there is 100 units of energy in my petrol tank, driving my car will only use 15 of these units. The rest is wasted energy and my efficiency based on the car alone is 15%. The biggest loses is from the engine mainly as a function of Carnot.
Efficiency 2
There is another measure of efficiency; payload efficiency. Payload efficiency is a measure of how efficient it is to take a package and transport it in a vehicle to its destination. It is also a pseudo measure of the amount of resources needed to support said activity. A high efficiency would suggest that less resources are needed (i.e. less roads due to smaller cars). So if I go back to my car. Myself with my computer and lunch will weigh circa 100 kg. Assuming I use a 730kg Smart car then my efficiency based on mass only is 100/(100+730) which is around 12%. Combining the two results in a rather cringe worthy number of 1.8% efficiency, *&+?. In other words when considering both the vehicle (car) and the activity (transporting me from A to B), the useful amount of fuel used is 1.8 units. Once my car arrives at work, it sits there for 8 or so hours and does nothing.
So how can we improve on these results. For the energy lost in the car itself (efficiency 1), there is not a whole lot that can be done with the ICE. Sure titanium could be used in the engine block but that is hardly cheap or easily workable and the same can be said for more improvements (except maybe heat recovery). The best way to gain efficiency would seem to be with mass saving. The Peel P50 30 years ago could achieve 100 mpg and the Edison2 car can achieve a bit more but with the ability to carry 4 people. However we get a payload efficiency of 63% for the Peel and (based on 4 people in the car) 32.5% for the Edison.
In short if I decide that I need a form of ICE transport for personal use, I will be using a small or very small car or moped.

In 2009 Maureen Hamiyanze received an AWARD (African Women in Agriculture, Research, and Development) fellowship. Through this fellowship she was charged with starting an NGO of her own. Maureen worked hard and incorporated the newest FIOH in Zambia, in Nov. 2011 with the assistance of FIOH-USA. She had previously started 3 small business projects of her own and a farm to help employ others and help support her family.
Future in Our Hands – Zambia (FIOH-Z) is now an NGO with the following vision:
FIOH- Zambia envisions communities that are economically and socially empowered, enjoying food security throughout the year, raising vibrant children enjoying uninterrupted education, accessing health care and living in decent housing with easy access to basic needs and contributing positively to their own development process.
The first project that FIOH-USA funded in Zambia was in 2012 to assist four schools in Choma that serve primarily orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) .
In three of the schools Maureen will be helping to start income generating projects to purchase supplies and pay and retain teachers. Currently only 3 in 10 teachers return year to year.
The fourth school will receive direct support due to its extreme need. At this school they have only one text book for every ten children.
FIOH –Zambia has an all volunteer Board of Directors
- Bishop G. Simuusa-Pastor and Engineer
- Mr. Mn Sishekanu- Senior Agricultural Specialist
- Mr. F. Kafweku– Agricultural Engineer and Development Specialist
- Mr. B. Mateke- Accountant
- Ms.Blessed Silavwe– Development Consultant

1 College of Haven on Thu Nov 24, 2011 2:13 pm
About the College
College of Haven records, from "A Brief History of the College", several contributions
"Residing in the independent Empire of Haven, is the home to the largest school of the Arcane Arts. While relationships with the Empire of Haven and the College are abysmal, the College provides great wealth as well as power to Haven.
The College is open to all who wish to learn, and control, magic. Even Oryx mages themselves, attend the College of Haven. Tuition is affordable, but one must be determined to succeed in the College and master what the school has to offer.
The College offers mages several courses in the Arcane Arts, such as the School of Destruction, specializing in mastering of Elemental magic, consisting of Fire, Wind, Lightning, Water, Earth, and Ice. The School of Destruction offers training in natural magic, along with alteration of the environment. Another one of Haven's schools is the School of Restoration, mainly focusing on healing and support spells. Mages attending the College of Haven most often attend the School of Destruction as well as the School of Restoration.
While it has been rumored that the College of Haven offered classes in the Arcane as well as Non-Elemental, there has been no records of such. Though, it could have well been a consequence of the Oryx Council's oppression on magic, which resulted in several of the school's records being destroyed, several years ago in the Great War. Though the College's library of the largest in Harmonia, unrivaled by any other.
The current archmage of the College is Nautilus, a man who has Power with Words. Credited with keeping political relationships in check between the Empire of Haven and the Oryx Council, he is one to be respected, and not challenged.
The College tries it's best with

Each week a new problem will be posted on the homepage. This is a problem for you and your family to try and solve, using all of your combined mathematical knowledge, skills and strategies. You might want to look at the "Mathematician's Strategy Toolbox" page, to remind you of strategies that you can use to help you work out a solution.
There may be lots of different solutions that you could find – challenge yourself to find the most creative or interesting solution, or to see if you can come up with a rule to find all possible solutions! When you have solved the problem, you can share your findings by leaving a comment, or by submitting your findings on paper to the office. Your solution should include an explanation or show how you solved the problems. This may include:
- What strategies you used and why they were effective.
- The correct mathematical vocabulary to explain the maths that you used.
- Diagrams, pictures, charts or tables that helped you find and demonstrate your solution.
- Connections that you made to other mathematical ideas or similar problems that were useful in solving this problem.
- Generalisations or rules that you think might apply to the maths in the problem.
And, of course, your solution to the problem – using numbers and words!
Later in the term we will be celebrating some of the students and their families who have shared their solutions, been creative and challenged themselves, and explained their reasoning clearly and mathematically!

Losartan potassium
Losartan potassium is the first orally active angiotensin-II receptor (type-AT1) antagonist. Angiotensin-II is a potent vasoconstrictor, which is the primary vasoactive hormone of the renin-angiotensin system and an important component in the pathophysiology of hypertension. Losartan and its principal active metabolite block the vasoconstrictor and aldosterone secreting effects of angiotensin-II to the AT1 receptor.

Free Tarot and Free Numerology online are rarely truly free. There are nice exceptions to this rule.
Free Tarot and Free Numerology online resources are plentiful if you believe the search results for looking for them. In nearly all cases however free tarot, or free numerology, means a small taster teaser followed by a hard sell for an expensive report. The best of the Internet is the free stuff.
by Noah Jones Tuesday, March 15, 2011
An often over looked aspect of the divinatory arts is their philosophy of seeking within oneself for answers in life. Even Christianity, which opposes Tarot and other occult arts like numerology, teaches this. Jesus said, The kingdom of heaven is within you. Therefore hiring someone to do Tarot readings for you or interpret numerology calculations is in some ways self defeating. Divination of ones self, using Tarot and Numerology, is a personal journey of discovery.
There are many books on numerology, which give clear guidance on how to calculate the relevant numbers from the date of birth and name. Numerology calculations are simple and elementary but time consuming. Youd think a computer could do numerology analysis effortlessly and youd be right. Try searching online for free numerology calculators and you quickly realize that almost no one is prepared to give you any help with a computer for this ancient, and well documented, divinatory art.
Tarot requires no calculations but given its highly visual way of communicating it too, like numerology, should work well online on web sites. Learning Tarot takes patience and practice. A good learning habit is to take notes of each Tarot spread to refer back to. This combined with needing help at hand with interpretations of each of the 78 Tarot cards makes online virtual Tarot an even more powerful divinatory tool than using standard Tarot cards. Tarot benefited greatly from the last great technological advance, the printing press, it is a natural progressing for it to also take advantage of the new medium for visual communication.
Online Tarot and Numerology resources do not have to be anti-social. The internet has proven itself to be the greatest of social networking achievements. Video conferencing is becoming more common place and it is very possible that in the near future visiting a Tarot reader or numerology consultant will not need to be done in person. If you feel you have learned all you can on your own, or are struggling to interpret your tarot spreads, or numerology forecasts, you can share youre online readings and calculations with others more knowledgeable in these arts.
As all human knowledge moves online so will the human quest for spiritual enlightenment. It is already happening. There are countless web sites already dedicated to Tarot and Numerology. With time they will improve in what they have to offer without paying as so much of the Internet already does. The knowledge of Tarot and numerology is free and ancient in its wisdom and should not be sold to the uninitiated to make easy money. The best of the Internet is free and so too should Tarot and Numerology. Make sure you dont pay for them. Find and spread the word on good free tarot and free numerology web sites.
Finding truly free Tarot : http://phuture.me/tarot/tarot-tutor/tarot-explained or free Numerology : http://phuture.me/tarot/tarot-tutor/tarots-numerology online resources is a lot harder than anyone would hope or think.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration at Jill and Clint's house. First time in 20 years that I haven't hosted. It was so nice and relaxing. And Jen is hosting Christmas dinner so I am off the hook for the year. It is nice to have grown up children who can do some of these things.
And Athena is off school this week which is one of the many benefits to homeschooling. She has been spending a lot of time outside in the unseasonally warm weather and spending a bit too much time on the computer (gasp). Hey, I told you the classroom is decomissioned for the week so it won't hurt for a few days, right? She did, however, put on a lovely little dance show for me the other night. I found this invitation on my chair in the living room.
She is also making stuff. She is always making stuff. And with a bit of expired whipping cream, a tooth pick and some food color (thanks to Jen and Pinterest) she did this little artwork. She loved it.
And just to make this post a real mix up, we have a pair of collared doves hanging around the yard. I don't really know what to feed them. I tried Vector cereal but they weren't interested. Oh well, black oil sunflower seeds is my only other offering.
And last but not least, this was one of the cutest things ever. Cash and Alphie, my daughter's dogs, who weren't allowed in during the Thanksgiving dinner, ruefully watched us through the window, on top of the picnic table in the back yard.

Stadtgruen – Net Label
There's something incredibly satisfying about discovering a fresh new world, particularly when that world subscribes to an ethic that sits so well and so snugly with your own. Stadtgruen is one of those worlds.
I became interested in Net labels fairly late on and it was only thanks to someone pointing out the merits of Thinner and Autoplate that I discovered them at all.
Thanks to a sniff around the links department of said labels I found myself straying onto Stadtgruen's website and being confronted by a small yet superbly realised collection of internet only MP3 releases.
I can only recommend this website to the fullest as not only is their design sublimely simple and minimal, but the music contained within is absolutely superb as well.
Split into two distinct categories, Stadt deals with a more clubby, Detroit-laced sound and Gruen is the purveyor of deep and ambient soundscapes, with a dubby twist at times.
Featuring internet stalwarts such as Lomov and Krill.Minima, Gruen delivers the real-deal as far as I'm concerned. Not constrained by dancefloor restrictions, it positively revels in the warm, deep, fluid and lusciously atmopsheric with every release having something to recommend it: from Acidrain's light, spacious but still Techno flavour, to the more mood-orientated, downbeat and dubby sounds of Motionfield.
Stadt, on the other hand is more funky, yet retains a depth and overall sense of feeling that keeps it from moving into mundane territory. Releases from Rob Keens, Gurtz and Marco Fuerstenburg are among the highlights, but check all the releases as there's more than one string to this very flavoursome bow.
12 releases on Gruen: 11 on Stadt… and all very, very worthy of your utmost attention.
Pay a visit to http://www.stadtgruenlabel.net/ and see what they can do for you.
Steve Roden – Airforms – Line – CD
Taylor Deupree and Richard Chartier's Line imprint forms a natural counterpoint to the more streamlined releases of 12k. Each CD has a challenging feel and is often accompanied by an engaging narrative to explain the background of the work.
Steve Roden has been producing installations and audio artwork for many years and he has a catalogue that impresses in its sheer depth and breadth with releases on such influential labels as Trente Oiseaux, Digital Narcis, Meme, Semishigure, Fatcat, 12k and many more.
'Airforms' [LINE_022] is an instantly intriguing hour-long piece that was originally presented in April 2004 at the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art in Arizona. Inspired by a group of houses designed by Wallace Neff in the 1940's using a process he named 'Airform Construction'. These houses were built by spraying concrete over an inflated balloon structure and were themselves imspired by the Nautilus sea shell. They provided a chance for Neff to investigate the aesthetic possibilities of structures formed by air and the knock-on psychological effects of living inside and organically formed space.
Roden's installation reflects Neff's ideas in the use of air as an inspirational skeleton and five objects were built using a similar technique, exchanging concrete for plaster. These objects then each had a speaker placed inside and a multi-channel audio piece was formed using a manipulated sound of breath being blown through and old wooden pipe organ.
As a concept it's thoroughly well researched and incredibly effective, although obviously for this CD release the sounds were reformed to work in a stereo environment instead of a multi-channel sound system.
The work is at once soothing and, as I suspect was intended, a fabulous reflection of sighing wind or breath with its ebb and flow that carries the listener with it. Constructed with multiple layers of sound, from a low sub-heavy drone right through to twinkling top end shimmers, Roden manages to give the piece a head-filling density that requires you to listen to it at a low volume to really get the most from it – high volumes may simply be overwhelming. At the correct level it becomes an amazingly deep background sound that works in such a subliminally beautiful way its hard to resist coming back to it on numerous occasions. It manages to remain, if not completely melodic, then certainly musical in an abstract way and there is a certain amount of progression throughout, although certainly not enough to distract you from the hypnotic nature of the sound.
This sort of music really isn't everyone's cup of tea, I know, but as a CD to work to, to sleep to or even to just daydream to, it's up there with the best of them (see Basinski's 'Disintegration Loops' or John Hudak's 'Room With Sky' for work with similar results) and proves once again that Line is a force to be reckoned with, as is Roden himself.
A genuine pleasure to listen to.

Celler Batea Vivertell is one of our oldest labels. It first appeared in 1977 and was originally made only with grapes sourced from an estate within the municipality of Batea. This estate, called Vivertell, gave its name to our wine.
Vivertell is a coupage of four grape varieties: red Garnacha dominates (60%), but is complemented by varying percentages of Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah depending on the quality of the vintage.
A wine elegant and complex in style, reflecting the different aromatic profiles of the four varieties from which it is made and also the contribution made by the French and American oak casks in which it is aged. It goes well with red meats, game and mature cheeses.
The grapes are carefully selected in the winery and, after destemming and crushing, the four varieties are vinified separately. They first undergo pre-fermentation maceration until the start of alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. After malolactic fermentation the wine is racked to 300 litre French and American oak casks where it will age for 12 months.

My boss just had Laser eye surgery. Not the kind that makes your vision better either. No now he's got high-powered hydrogen laser cannons for eyes... Jerk. ;)
Man, it's been a long time since I've posted anything, or even since I've been here. I swear, I'm still here... somehow.
So, what now? I'm currently working on a cute little illustration for fun involving a trifecta, as it were, of my favorite vices... Coffee, Hookahs, and Dames (who enjoy the two aforementioned things). It's moving slowly though due to my increasing free-time losses in recent weeks. I just finished a bit of... Carebears freelance >__<, and I'm somehow still employed at Leap Frog... But with the global economy enduring shit storm Katrina... and Leap Frog running based on the retail markets and the holiday season... I... ...So don't wanna think about that. There's just no time for artwork when you've gone fetal position in a dark corner of your bedroom I guess. Ah oh well, I'm somehow actually optimistic still. At any rate, I'm going to try to update more regularly now... but don't take my word for it-- just take a look, in a book.... wow, I have problems.

Seized vehicles contribute to unofficial
waste dump yard in Rambaug Powai.
Although the Powai Traffic police jurisdiction station is around the Saki Naka zone under the fly over bridge, seized vehicles endlessly pile up on the pavements in front of the Rambaug Powai police station footpaths, leaving commuters gasping for breath on that entry point into Rambaug street.
Informs Rahel George living in Crystal Palace Rambaug, "There is so much metal waste lying around that only onea side of the road can be used for both to and fro. The captive vehicles are strewn all over the footpaths making it so narrow. During monsoons there are chances of mosquitoes breeding there. And of course these leftover cars attract thieves who steal the car parts to sell as metal scrap. Dumping these vehicles at the traffic junction center would be ideal. I guess the HQ of the Traffic police departments from town should be in charge of clearing this mess."
Overflowing metal waste is also dangerous to walkers. Adds B.Shah from the locality , "Residents in the vicinity of Rambaug are hardened to this civic ugliness for over two decades now. With ageing, rusting vehicles that have been seized over the years piling up on the pavement as more and more vehicles cases gather over the years. The cases are not disposed of easily as the cases take time nor are the vehicles scrapped thus leaving them in a sort of civic limbo. Vehicles with over long years of litigation should be disposed off and transport costs for these too is expensive."
Unclaimed metal waste could be treated like electronic waste and a garbage collection drive could be propelled by the locals in association with the Traffic Police jurisdiction to clear the footpaths of unwanted waste. The entry to the Rambaug road from the JVLR is acutely narrowed down by this unforeseen collection causing traffic jams at peak hours. This road is also a connectivity road from Nahar and Chandivli into JVLR Powai and needs to be cleared before small hawkers start setting up shops around the dumped waste areas which are unclaimed space. Then again giving rise to more stinking garbage spots around residential areas.

The Expedition went through its first major makeover for the 2003 model year—a third row, hydroformed frame rails, new rack-and-pinion steering, bigger brakes, and an independent rear suspension. The result didn't quite produce the standing ovation Ford engineers had hoped for. In particular, the ride quality that went with that new rear suspension—aluminum control arms, coil springs, monotube shocks—was too stiff for comfort. Also, the steering was a little too quick. And the weight increase that was a consequence of the redesign was not accompanied by a corresponding increase in power from either of the Expedition's two Triton V-8 engines—the standard 4.6-liter (232 horsepower, 291 pound-feet of torque) or the upgrade 5.4-liter (260 hp, 350 pound-feet).
Ford has since made some civilizing revisions to the suspension tuning, giving the Expedition a little more compliance to level out sharp little bumps, and the steering ratio is a more leisurely 20.0:1, rather than the original 17.0:1. Nevertheless, the Expedition emerged as the least likely to cause Hiawatha and family to burst into song. What's up with that?
Let us begin by accentuating the positive. The Expedition's foundations were the rigidity equal of anything in this test, and that factor, combined with suspension tuning that's still firmish, gave the big Ford an almost eager level of response in quick maneuvers. Body motions were well controlled, by the excessive standards for this class, and the Expedition's AdvanceTrac stability enhancement and Control Trac automatic four-wheel drive gave all hands a welcome sense of security during some of the more perilous stretches we encountered.
The Expedition got high marks for its cargo-carrying flexibility—both rows of rear seats fold flat, the rearmost at the push of a button, and space is abundant. And in a vehicle designed for families, a double-five-star crashworthiness rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration certainly doesn't hurt.
But if the Expedition is solid on fundamentals, it's soft on details. The interior plastics look a little low rent. The same goes for the night lighting of the smallish instrument cluster, and a logbook comment summed it up with a shot about "the rental-car feel" of the molded steering-wheel rim.
There were also elements conspicuous by their absence. The Expedition's as-tested price was consistent with the rest of the group, but the Ford was the only one with fabric upholstery, not leather. It was also the only one with manually adjusted front seatbacks rather than power. And what happened to those side-mirror turn-signal repeaters? Ford invented this useful feature, but it was missing on our tester.
The most telling weakness, though, continues to be power to weight. With the second-highest curb weight and second-lowest power ratings, the Expedition made hard work of two-lane passing situations. Its rated towing capacity was near the top of our charts, but we suspect dragging an 8650-pound trailer with this rig would require lots of patience.
The bottom line: The Expedition is a solid family hauler. But it's a little anemic in this crowd. And that institutional interior doesn't work. Memo to Ford: Check the F-150 interior. Maybe it'll bolt right in.

Have you ever gone to a networking event only to realize you forgot your business cards? We all know the awkward feeling and canned response, "Oh, let me take yours and email you." You always need to have available contact information at the ready, and remember, you also want to make the right first impression with your card. After all, your business card design is the face of your visual brand.
According to the Statistic Brain Research Institute, 72 percent of people judge a person based on the quality of their business card. Thirty-nine percent of people would choose not to work with someone because their business card design looked cheap. Empowered with this information, I recently rebranded my freelance business to hit a more professional note. I worked with a designer to create a business card aligned with both my visual brand identity and long-term goals. My key takeaways from the experience may sound easy to pull off, but they can get lost in the shuffle when creativity comes into play.
Keep It Simple
A business card is a small piece of paper. Even if you choose to make your card a square or a slightly larger rectangle, it can only convey so much information. Freelancer business cards should include your name, a quick phrase or title to convey what you do, a link to your website, your phone number and an email address. I included my name on one side of the card. On the other side, I listed, "Writer, Editor and Content Strategist" with basic contact information. Paring it down to the essentials ensures your business card serves its purpose, letting people know how and where to find you.
Align With Your Visual Brand
Your business card is just one component of your overall freelancer brand. It should align with your other brand assets: your website, social media pages and stationary. Make sure the information matches across these mediums. For example, your email address should be the same on your website as on the business card.
From there, you can translate your brand's visual aesthetic to the card. Include your primary colors, use the same font as your website and feature a logo. My graphic designer used my logo as an overlay in white, so the card tied into my brand identity without distracting from the essential information. You can use an easy app, like Canva, to do it yourself, or hire a graphic designer. For a bargain deal, see if you can trade services with another freelancer. They may need your help, too.
Easy Printing
There are so many affordable and easy ways to print DIY business cards. MOO, for example, offers a quick turnaround for business cards in multiple formats. You can use one of their preset formats or upload your own. Plus, they include a few paper options. I wanted a refined aesthetic, so I invested in their "luxe" paper. You can also check out Vistaprint, Jukebox and your local FedEx for quick and easy printing options.
Excellent business card design is a small way to make a big first impression. Regardless of the type of freelance business you run, you can make connections in your community — and outside of it — by putting effort into each business card. I know from my own experience that these details make a lasting impression on new contacts, paving the way for more business.

I want to store data that will be read from and written to by two executable files. This data file will be used to store settings that are common to both executables. To keep the user from inadvertantly modifying the data file, I would like to limit its write access. Ideally, the write access would be limited to the two executables. Also, it would be nice to have the data file be unreadable, encrypted, or un-openable to keep the user from viewing the data file. Is all of this possible? If so, which file type should I use to store the data?
