I was terrible at history in school because most of it was memorization of dates and names. I wanted to know about the people involved and how they felt about what was happening at the time. One advantage of getting older is that you can look back on the history that you have actually witnessed in your lifetime and look forward to what is yet to come. For instance, my grandmother was born in the days of horse drawn carriages and lived to see Space Shuttles winging back and forth to the Space Station. In my music life I can say that I've gone from the days of 78 vinyl records (my first purchase was "The Flying Purple People Eater") to digital MP3's. And in my electronics life I've gone from vacuum tubes to computer chips. For this project I combine those two more modern things by taking a common MP3 module and showing a few ways to use it with a PIC microcontroller.
DFPlayer Mini
There are a variety of MP3 modules out there but the most common one I found was the DFPlayer Mini. I was able to get one on ebay for just over $2 and found that there are lots of Arduino examples out on the web. Unfortunately, the specifics of the module are a bit jumbled because the documentation is not well written. Below I've included a couple of different documents, one specifically for the DFPlayer and one for a similar module. Some of the details missing in the DFPlayer document are available in the second document.
The module is almost completely self contained because it also includes a 3 watt (at 4 ohms) amplifier chip and if you are just interested in just making an MP3 player then you don't even need a microcontroller. In fact, a power supply, a single speaker, and two normally open momentary contact switches are the minimum requirements. That simple setup shown above has four switches but only the two connected to IO1 and IO2 are required. For instance, a short press on the IO1 switch will command it to play the next track and a long press will command it to decrease the volume. You will need to press either the "Next" or "Prev" switch to start playing a track. The speaker can be from 4-8 ohms and it's important to note that the module is programmed to start at full power.
Another way to make a stand alone MP3 player is shown in the diagram where there are 20 switches and resistors. This is known as the A/D control and each switch is connected to the player through a specific value of resistor. That feeds an internal analog to digital circuit that determines which switch is pressed based on the voltage through the resistor. You don't need all of the switches and resistors to make it work, just the ones for the controls you want. Typically that would be just switches 1 and 3-6 on input ADKEY1. Switch 2 would only be needed if you wired up a USB connector for use with a flash drive or a computer.
The DFPlayer Mini comes with a holder for using a micro SD (also known as a TF card) and that is sufficient for making a basic MP3 player. But it also has connections for a USB interface. The USB wiring is shown above and all that is needed is a female USB connector. The player will automatically recognize the SD card and the USB flash drive when either or both are inserted. If both are inserted I found that the player will select the SD card over the USB flash drive unless specifically commanded to use the USB port.
Also shown above is the connection to the DAC output pins. These are used if you want a stereo output and they cannot drive a speaker directly because they do not run through the 3-watt amplifier module. I connected them to a standard stereo headphone socket and then plugged in a set of amplified computer speakers. That worked well. If you use that connection, then it's best to leave the volume control of the module at its default maximum power so that you have full volume range with the volume control on your external amplifier or computer speakers.
SD/Flash File Setup
There are a variety of ways to store and access the MP3 files on the SD card or flash drive. If you don't need anything too complicated, then the recommended way is to create a folder labeled "MP3" on the drive and place all of your MP3's in there. There seems to be some disagreement as to how many you can place in that folder but 3000 seems to be an ok maximum. If you want to be able to specify specific files to play then the files names need to start with 4 digits. The first file would be "0001.mp3", and so on. It also seems to work if you have named files but just add the 4 digits in front of the name. I used the format "0001 – My File Name.mp3" and that worked ok.
Another feature you might want to use on the DFPlayer is the advertisement cut-in mode. That allows you to be playing an MP3 and then, at any point, specify a second MP3 to interrupt and play. When the second MP3 finishes, the first one should resume from where it left off. In order to use the command associated with this feature the advertisement files need to be placed in a second folder labeled "ADVERT". The files in this folder also need to be labeled with the 4 digits in front. An example usage might be to have music playing at a shop and then have it play a welcome message when the system detects that a customer walks into the shop. If you just specify a different MP3 to start playing without using the advertisement commands, then the MP3 that was interrupted does not start up again when the interrupting MP3 finishes.
DFPlayer Mini Wiring
After reading a bunch of posts on the web about this player I got the impression that there can be noise issues if improperly connected. If you look at the specs it says it can range up to 5 volts on the VCC pin but most 5 volt adapters I've used typically put out up to 5.2 volts. Doesn't sound like much difference but the spec for the MP3 player also states a typical input of 4.2 volts. One of the potential noise issues seems to be related to running the module at 5 volts or more. An easy way to cut this down closer to the desired 4.2 volts is to simply put a diode in line with the supply voltage (as shown in the diagram above). That will reduce the voltage by about 0.6 volts and put it pretty close to the desired value. One thing to keep in mind for the diode is that it needs to be one like the 1N4001 that can handle 1 amp, not a small signal diode like the 1N4148 or 1N914. Any standard silicon diode (not Schottky or germanium) that can handle at least 1 amp can be used.
Another possible factor in noise issues comes when a microcontroller is used and communicates via the serial port (RX/TX). The DFPlayer module logic actually runs at 3.3 volts so there are issues when using a microcontroller that is running at 5 volts. The general recommendation on the web seems to be to simply add a 1k ohm resistor between the microcontroller TX pin and the DFPlayer RX pin. That sort of works but the resulting voltage input is still out of spec for the DFPlayer. Adding one more resistor from the DFPlayer RX pin to ground provides a voltage divider that gets the level within spec. The diagram above shows a 2.2k resistor but it can be anything from 1.5k to 2.2 k. The DFPlayer TX pin can interface directly with the microcontroller RX pin with no problems. The DFPlayer TX output is really only needed if you want to monitor the status information from the player.
Serial Communications
All of the examples below use the PIC to send commands to the DFPlayer module. Those commands, and any DFPlayer responses, are communicated at 9600 baud over a standard TTL-level USART interface. The manuals provided in an earlier step detail the various commands that can be used to either supplement or replace the basic switch command inputs. One interesting supplemental command is the capability to specify which file to play and we will use that in a later step.
The basic command/response message formats are pretty easy but one confusing thing is the message checksum. It's actually easy to calculate but the explanations and examples in the manuals can quickly lead you down the wrong path. In essence, the checksum bytes are the inverse of the sum of bytes 2-7 of the message. In other words, add up those 6 bytes (they will overflow into a two-byte result) and take the XOR of the result. Unfortunately, if you try to get the results for some of the examples in the manuals you won't get a match because they are wrong. The really good news is that the DFPlayer will happily accept messages where the checksum bytes are set to "00 00". Examples of these non-checksum messages are shown in the "Similar Board Manual 2" listed in a previous step. Most of the examples I provide below don't read the MP3 module responses and in the one example where the software does read the responses the checksums are ignored.
Test Setup
There is a quick test setup you can make to verify that the DFPlayer can communicate with the PIC. As shown in the diagram, the PIC is wired to use a 4-bit LCD interface for a common 1602 LCD. That interface is included in all of the examples in this post but it could be eliminated if you don't want it. The test setup software does require the LCD but you can skip this step if you want. In order to do the quick test of the DFPlayer communication, just connect it to power as shown in the previous step and connect the TX pin to the PIC RX pin. If you have not installed an SD card then you should see the result shown in the picture above. If you did install an SD card then the last "0" digit in the picture should be a "2". That means that the SD card is online.
Sensor Detector
This example provides a template for using the MP3 player to provide audio messages whenever the PIC detects sensor inputs. The example provided includes the LCD interface so there are only four PIC pins available for sensor inputs. If you remove the LCD interface then there are a lot more pins that can be used. The sensors are illustrated in the diagram above as simple switches that connect to ground when activated. The software is set up so that it will not reactivate the message for a given sensor if the sensor never resets itself. To test this out I used a free voice recorder to make sample MP3 files and then numbered them as specified in a previous step so that the PIC could send a file specific command to the MP3 player. The software also includes an example of how to receive and decode messages from the MP3 module. I found the receive messages to be useful when I was debugging the software but not of much use for the applications in this project. A sample display is pictured above.
IR Control
The IR control example comes from what was originally done in earlier IR interface projects. You can easily add or change the codes in the software example for your needs and your remote output. I just used one of the cheap remotes I had laying around and verified the key codes using the IR reader from an earlier project. The LCD interface software doesn't have to be removed if you decide to not connect a display. The connection from the MP3 module TX to the PIC RX is not used in this example. Some sample displays are pictured above.
Bluetooth Control
The Bluetooth control example comes from what was originally done in an earlier post on Bluetooth control. As shown in the diagram, the Bluetooth module receives the codes and transmits them to the PIC. Both the Bluetooth module and the MP3 module communicate at 9600 baud so no changes were needed in that area other than to eliminate the software that handled responses from the MP3 module. The Bluetooth TX output replaces the MP3 TX output as the RX input for the PIC. For test purposes I used the Android app I had set up on my phone for the Bluetooth Controlled Car project. The LCD interface software doesn't have to be removed if you decide to not connect a display. The sample displays shown in the IR Control step apply here as well. That's it for this post. Check out my other electronics projects.

Minister of Justice and Attorney General Ralph Kasambara has refuted reports that he issued a statement announcing the country's suspension of anti-homosexual law to pave way for public debate and parliamentary vote on the legislation.
This comes on the back of international media being awash with reports that Kasambara has announced the suspension of the legislation.
On Monday, the US-based human rights watchdog Amnesty International released a statement commending Malawi for the said action.
But Kasambara denied on Monday evening having released any statement to that effect or making any announcement on the matter.
"There was no such announcement and there was no discussion about same sex marriages," Kasambara said.
He further expressed ignorance on whether or not Parliament will discuss same-sex laws as it meets this month.
"None has so far talked or debated about same sex marriages. The Penal Code does not regulate same sex marriages or any marriages at all," he told The Daily Times.
In a later interview, Kasambara insisted "Nobody talked about suspension of any provision of the Penal Code."
He did not, however, refute print media reports that he talked about the said suspension at a minority rights debate organised by the Centre for Human Rights Rehabilitation (CHRR) and Centre for Development of People (Cedep) in Lilongwe on Thursday last week.

Lysistrata Essay, Research Paper
By Aristophanes
|We can force our husbands to negotiate Peace, Ladies, by exercising steadfast Self Control- By Total Abstinence…….Total Abstinence from SEX!X (Aristophanes,24). A band of women coming together to force peace. Taking on the initiative to get their husbands back home. This group of girls, lead by Lysistrata, decided to not allow their husbands to have sex with them until they came home for good and stopped the war. They thought that the war was silly and they desperately wanted to have their family back as a whole.
Lysistrata held a meeting to give the women their plans. At first the women disagree. They do not think that it is in any way possible not to give in to the demands of their husbands. They also don+t want to give it up because when the men are home it is the only time they can have sex. Eventually they are persuaded and they agree with Lysistrata. They proceed by capturing the Acropolis and not allowing the men in. The women put on their most reveling dresses, wear lots of make up and perfume to attract the men. They tease them and flirt with them until they can barely stand it, then leave them in the dust. The men don+t even know what happened. Eventually the men give in and make a treaty with the Spartan's so that they can go home to their wives.
This play shows three great themes; sex, war, and the power of women. The women are the ones who finally take action. In 44 B.C. this was unheard of. Women were supposed to submit to their husbands. In this case, the husbands submitted to the ultimatum made by the wives. Men love fighting. It has been a characteristic of man since the beginning of time. Fighting gives them a sense of power and dominance. They constantly are trying to be on top. When they are faced with this proposal by the women it is hard for them to make a decision . They have to make a decision between love of war, or making peace and love. The men+s love for war was strong, yet their love for sex was greater so they gave into the women. The power the women gain from this is immense. This was a revolutionary play because it gave women the dominate over the men.
The characters in this play relate very much to todays society. Since sex is the lowest common denominator of man, the people who originally watched the play, and people who watch it now can relate. The understand what is going on only because of experience. When Myrinne is tempting Kinesias men understand how he is feeling because the had probably been heavily flirted with before by a woman. Comedy is laughing at other people+s pain because the audience is glad it isn+t happening to them. The women can laugh at Myrinne because the probably have wanted to tease a man such as she did. The audience feels bad for how hot Kinesias is getting because they know that he is going to be left.
Lysistrata is a strong woman, a very strong woman. She is the leader of the whole plot. She gets them all to stay true to their vow, and leads them through it. She is very powerful, and is a very good motivational speaker. She knows how to talk to men, and knows how to get her point across. Not only can she talk to men, but she can also get a huge group of women to be excited to give up sex for as long as it takes for the men to stop fighting. That is a pretty amazing feat. She represents all of the women who have made a difference in society. She was a pioneer in her time and paved the way for other women to stand up to their men.
Much of the play is very sexual and depending on the translation, it can become very disgusting. The overall message is very good, and with the right direction and acting can be very clear. This message of standing up for beliefs and not giving in can relate to many of todays protests. Though they may not go about the protest in the same way, they are very similar. The play was vulgar, yet the message behind it made it a very interesting, and challenging play.

Need deep blackheads to be sucked the F out of your skin? Same. Charcoal has been around for millennia with its ingredients 'clarifying' the skin by pulling dirt from pores, thereby helping to eliminate blackheads; it's also one of our top five satisfying feelings when you pull this mask off and see the wreckage you've extracted.
So why activated charcoal, and not regular fire pit remains?
Activated charcoal is similar to common charcoal, but is made specifically for medicinal use and to be very porous (so no, you can't use the charcoal you saved after that BBQ). These pores allow activated charcoal to trap impurities (don't ask us how, but it does). For this reason, activated charcoal is used to treat intestinal gas, poisonings, nausea, and bile flow issues (cholestasis) during pregnancy. But activated charcoal also works wonders for the skin when applied topically: it keeps skin clear by acting as a magnet to draw dirt out of pores.
Bentonite clay also acts as a magnet to draw dirt from the pores. High-quality bentonite clay can be ingested to pull toxins from the body. When applied topically, it absorbs toxins, draws out blackheads, and kills acne-causing bacteria. So you can use this in the recipe as well, if you like, it should peel off along with the rest. But we will leave it out this time to keep things simple.
Lets do this:
- Less than half a teaspoon (or 2 capsules) of activated charcoal.
- One tablespoon of Elmer's School Glue.
- Mix* all of the ingredients together into a smooth paste, and spot test the mixture on your cheek, or somewhere inconspicuous, to avoid adverse reactions.
- Wash face clean with cleanser and keep it partially wet (pat it gently with a towel).
- Apply the mask evenly, avoiding the delicate skin around your eyes and lips, and let it sit until dry, about 7-15 minutes. As the mask dries, it feels tight on the skin, which can sometimes feel a little itchy (if it starts to feel uncomfortable, wash the mask off).
- After the mask dries completely, peel it off! It may feel mildly painful, but not enough to deter you. The results are gross and amazingly thorough!
*Stir this mixture with a plastic or wooden spoon, as both charcoal and clay pull toxins from metals. Also be sure to store your clay in a non-metal container, if you do get the clay.
You could do this a day after exfoliating with an all natural Almond Meal by earthsgarden, which may help open up and clear out your pores further.

The brave new world of networking services is automated, elastic, and chained.
That is to say, if you need to push traffic through a bunch of virtual middleboxes, you're going to automate the creation of those middleboxes. Eventually, the days of standing up hardware services and plumbing them oh-so-carefully will be gone, because the world won't wait for you to get it done. Automation is your answer.
And when you need to create more of them to support additional volume, the services will grow dynamically – more instances stood up and torn down as needed, depending on load.
And if you have a bunch of network services an application must pass through, you'll set up traffic patterns in a service chain so that traffic flows through the virtual network services they need to without you having to rely on physical plumbing and clever routing.
All of this happens today in the worlds of OpenStack, containers, NFV, and microservices. In other words, this isn't the "unicorn networking no one uses" that some of you complain about. This is real stuff.
To discuss microservice orchestration for networking is our sponsor, Sonus Networks. Bryan Hill, Vice President, Platform Engineering, joins us from Sonus to explore what microservices mean and how they are linked together in a cloud architecture.
We'll also get into details about the orchestration mechanisms within OpenStack, discuss an OpenStack reference model, talk about how virtual network functions (VNFs) and microservices relate, and review several use cases.

Combination of public and private activities are superb, as well of old and new structures. Here are some views and parcticularly some movies that for who is interested to plan and design a School or to ameliorate one, are relevant.
Studio Space Let's start from the studio space. As you see the room as small rooms for seminar and reviews and then a very large studio space, with spaces for models adn storage. Closets at the end are extremely important because allow the rotation of users. Of course the table have electrical plugs. Other details in the movie
Connection Spaces. What is interesting here is the multifunctional characterisctic of the space. it is used not only for circulation but for display and probably for reviews. Notice the study corner on the Space-blue room-sofa. Details in The movie

You can read the Ofsted Report HERE
We have news of the outcomes from our recent Ofsted inspection, which took place on Tuesday 13 March and Wednesday 14 March 2018.
We are thrilled that the Academy remains GOOD in all categories, and especially pleased with so many incredibly positive comments, which included:
"Since his appointment in 2016, the Principal has acted with determination to improve the quality of teaching, learning and assessment for all pupils. He understands the importance of raising standards without delay but at the same time ensuring that improvements are embedded and long-lasting. This approach has led to a steady, long-term improvement in the quality of education across the school."
"The behaviour of pupils is good. Parents, carers, and pupils, say that behaviour has improved significantly over the last two years."
Teaching typically meets pupils' needs well. Teachers set work that encourages pupils to think and to explain. The most able are given challenges that stretch them.
Leadership of special educational needs (SEN) is good. Leaders make good use of the funding they receive to support pupils who have SEN and/or disabilities.
On early years provision Ofsted said, "The primary phase, called 'the Acorn', is providing a good start for pupils because expectations are high and leaders and staff work hard to meet the needs of all pupils. Children get off to a flying start and all groups of children make good progress over time so that by the end of the foundation stage outcomes are above the national average and improving. Outcomes for disadvantaged groups are improving quickly."
"Leadership of the Acorn is strong. It is in its third year of operation and is thriving as a result of strong strategic oversight and good day-to-day management. Leaders have developed a culture that ensures that they meet the needs of all pupils through partnership between teachers, teaching partners (teaching assistants) and parents. Parents value this approach and pupils are making good progress."
As a school, we are not complacent and we are always trying to improve, and as such, I was very pleased that Ofsted also agreed with our school improvement priorities.
Each year the Ofsted inspection seems to get tougher and more forensic. This is our second successive GOOD judgement and I believe this report is vindication of the incredible hard work and professionalism of all the staff, the hard work and behaviour of our students, and the support of you as parents and carers.
As a school community, we should be very proud of our fine school and it goes without saying that we will continue to strive to provide the best education we possibly can.

In an effort to clean up California's new sick leave law, the California Legislature passed AB 304, which was then signed by the Governor. Among other things, the new law expands acceptable methods of sick leave accrual, and eases calculation of sick leave pay for employees with different rates of pay. The new law takes effect immediately.
For more information about the impact of the new law or the amendment, please contact us at 562-901-2500 or e-mail us at email@example.com.

Could it be that the largest IPO in history signalled the top of the stock market?
That IPO was e-commerce behemoth, Alibaba, of course, recently listed on the NYSE.
By the time the Alibaba rang the bell in September, the Aussie market was already well on its way down. The ASX had lost 4% from its six year high by September 19 — the day of Alibaba's record-setting initial public offering. It's now fallen close to 9% from its peak.
While the US market drop came a few weeks after ours, it too is now being overrun by the bears. The US market bellwether, the S&P 500, has lost 6.8% from its peak and is approaching a full correction. A correction, by the way, technically means a fall of 10% or more.
The fall in the US stock market following Alibaba's listing wasn't entirely unexpected. It's been over three years since the last correction. And volatility is now more than double the level it was in July.
Signs of what's to come
Signs of what's to come
On Monday night, three weeks on from its peak, the S&P 500 Index, fell through a significant support level. It lost 1.7% for the day, falling sharply below its 200-day moving average.
The 200-day moving average is one of traders' most looked to indicators. It tends to act as a strong support or resistance level. And it's a good measure of long term investor sentiment. When the price is above the moving average, bulls are said to be in control. And when it trades below, bears run the show.
Looking back over the past century, a strategy based simply on trading the 200-day moving average performed significantly better than a buy and hold strategy.
For this reason, traders are paying close attention to the moving average this week. If the index had held above the 1,905 level — Monday's 200-day moving average — it would have been a strong bullish sign. Many were hoping the index would bounce once it reached the support level.
But as you can see in the chart below, it didn't. There were a few attempts to explain Monday's drop through this important threshold at 1,905 and its further fall through the past support level of 1,900.
The first case of Ebola contagion in the US was thought to play a part. It did hit airline stocks, but that was really the extent of it. Oil prices falling to record lows was also blamed. While cheaper oil hurts energy stocks, the wider economy benefits, so this is unlikely to be the cause of the overall market's drop.
The most likely reason was simply automated computer trading that accelerated selling as the technical level was reached.
Some relief came last night as US stocks attempted to recover. In a sign that the market may hold around this support level, the S&P 500 finished the day more or less flat. But it fell late in the day, dragged down by energy stocks as oil prices hit new multi-year lows.
The fall through its 200-day moving average on Monday doesn't necessarily mean the index will fall further. If the price can hold above this level — even after having briefly fallen through — it is a strong bullish signal.
Hitting a support level will often get investors excited, stirring enthusiasm for stocks. If the support level holds it may prove to be an excellent buying opportunity, seen as a mini correction, from which a move higher can be expected.
Three mini corrections have already been overcome this year. The US index had two mini corrections each of 4% in April and in August. And prior to this, in February, the index lost 6%, before resuming its run higher. At this time, it also fell below its 200-day moving average, but managed to recover and resume its longer term run.
In fact, when the S&P 500 has fallen below its 200-day moving average over the past ten years, more often than not, the index has moved higher. 69% of the time that the index fell through its moving average, it was higher one month later. And 86% of the time, it was higher three months after breaching the psychological level.
Going off past examples, the S&P 500 falling below its 200-day moving average on Monday night could actually be a bullish sign in the short term.
This is in contrast to the longer term — 100 year — track record of trading the 200-day moving average, as mentioned earlier.
And it contradicts a common belief of traders. It's said that if a stock, or index, or currency, etc. is in an uptrend and then falls below its 200-day moving average, 60% of the time it will continue to fall. And if a stock in a downtrend rises above its 200-day moving average, it will continue higher 60% of the time.
However, going off recent history, and last night's pause, it seems there's a good chance that the US market will rebound in the coming three months.
The fact is that we can't perfectly predict where the US market, or any, is headed. While technical indicators can give us some clues, I urge you not to put too much faith in any one.
And don't forget other factors are at play. In the short term, the direction is likely to come down to how investors respond to companies' quarterly results in coming weeks.
What you should expect is EITHER a bounce higher or a sharp drop lower. I expect the US market will move strongly away from its current level, whatever the direction may be.

When Sarah Kalvin settled in Ventura in 2001, Venturans not only gained a talented new neighbor, but a community advocate. When you first meet Sarah, you know you're in the presence of an artist. Her soft smile, open-minded eyes, and long hair that falls loosely down her back tells you so. When you get to know her art albeit oil, watercolor, acrylic, photography or digital, you'll see that she is an artist with a strong sense of kinship to the community she calls home.
Her website bio notes that "Sarah takes pride in versatility and understatement of self-expression and attempts to infuse this into her art by capturing her subject's subtle spirit and serenity." You'll see this in many of her Ventura landscape oil and water-color collections. But to find out more about Sarah's artistic career and her work with community projects, Fun-in-Ventura sat down to ask her a few questions:
Your artistic accomplishments are very multi-dimensional and include garment design. In fact, you once owned and operated the very popular Ix Chel Fashions in Santa Monica. Can you tell us a little more about the Ix Chel (pronounced e-shell) project that inspired your business and why it was important to you?
SK - I was originally invited to Mexico by a friend I met while living in Berkeley, California. We traveled to the State of Chiapas in southern Mexico. Chiapas is the center of Mayan culture, and many people go there to study the indigenous population that still lives today much as they did centuries ago. I was in awe of the people of Chiapas and the jungle. Ever since I was a child, I wanted to be surrounded by foliage.
I remember seeing Mayan women walking down the street, barefoot like they were drawn to the earth, and wearing hand-woven clothing. They created their clothing with a back-strap loom. A loom that was strapped to their back, then tied to a tree while they sat down on the ground to weave. I was fascinated with their lifestyle and its similarity to the Native American culture I was attracted to in the 1960's.
Later I returned and lived in Mexico for 3-1/2 years. I wanted to help the Mayan women preserve their lifestyle and the art of the back-strap loom, and I knew that the best way to do that would be to help them sell hand woven fabric. I didn't want them to lose what the Native American's lost. I created a workshop and we made modern garments to sell in the local shops. I called the project Ix Chel after the Maya Moon Goddess of weaving, healing and childbirth.After the Northridge Earthquake disrupted your business you moved to San Antonio and taught pattern making for surface design at the Southwest School of Art. Some of your designs from that period were even featured in Jane Dunnewold's book "Complex Cloth". You then set off for Austria. What prompted your move to Vienna?
SK - After the earthquake, I put my finger on the map to find the U.S. city closest to Coahuila, Mexico where my friends lived. That turned out to be San Antonio, Texas. I was there for six months when my friend Renee Karger, an Austrian designer who worked with me as a seamstress in Chiapas, invited me to join her in Austria. I had never been to Europe.
Renee knew the famous Austrian silk screen artist, Vesna, who was famous for modernizing Gustav Klimt's art work and putting it into her fabric designs. Klimt is probably best known for his painting "The Kiss" and is very important to Austrians. Vesna took elements of his work and made them popular again. She had a large collection of silk screens that Renee and I recycled into contemporary clothing to sell, which revitalized her style and her art.
In Vienna you were invited to lecture for the Esoteric Society at the United Nations on various subjects including that of Individual Destiny. You've been dedicated to meditation and metaphysical studies for many years now. How has this discipline influenced the art you create?
SK – Since I started painting in 1998 while staying with an artist friend in New York, I've tried to focus on and capture the spirit of the place or subject I paint. This relates my work to my metaphysical interests.
After painting in oils, I wanted to get looser and started painting watercolor abstracts. When I was learning graphic design, my instructor showed me how to use digital brush strokes to paint Sumi-e which means "ink painting" in Japanese. I had once taken a class to learn this brush stroke, so I was surprised to see it as a digital tool.
From that, I created my "Yoga Prose" series. These are 12 depictions of yoga postures that I did using a mouse, which is more difficult than using a stylus. I created all 12 in one-half hour. Of course, it took much longer after that to add the prose and the color behind the digital images. At first I tried to hide the fact that the artwork was digital, but then realized it was to my benefit to reveal the technique, because digital art had become popular.
When you returned to the States from Vienna why did you choose to settle in Ventura?
SK - It was 2001 and I had been traveling a lot and wanted to settle down. I wanted to live in Ventura for some time, as it reminded me of Santa Monica where I grew up. In fact, my first painting was of "Surfer's Knoll." You can find it in my "Spirit of Ventura" series. I've had people who've lived and moved away from Ventura tell me that when they looked at that picture it felt as if they were really there.
You certainly capture Ventura's natural beauty. But you also use artistic expression to advocate community conservation. Your work with Ventura's "Fading Treasures" and involvement with the E.P. Foster home renovation are examples of this. Why are these important projects for you and the community?
SK - Fading Treasures is about the loss of Ventura's history, the loss of its unique character. I remember walking past the Mayfair Theatre and thinking, "wow, what was it like then in its heyday. What is the history of this place?" It spoke to me.
I feel the same about Hobo Jungle at the mouth of the Ventura River. It's like a sanctuary to me with all the trees. It is so exotic. I was first drawn to it because it gave me the feeling of being in another world. I wanted to know more about how the trees got there. I recognized them as Monterey Cypress which are not natural to this area and I wondered, "who planted these?" So I started doing a lot of research. I went to the museum and the library and no one had any idea. Finally, I found my answer. The trees were planted under E.P. Foster's direction. He owned, and later donated, Seaside Park to the County. Hobo Jungle had been part of Seaside Park.
The trees he planted in the area of the park now used for the County Fair were bulldozed for a parking lot. I didn't know it at the time, but the trees became Ventura's first fading treasure. I began to wonder more about E.P. Foster: "What kind of man was he to plant trees like this?" I could sense his energy, his spirit. I started to wonder about his family members and little by little people gave me connections to them. Today, because of my efforts, E.P. Foster's great-grandchildren, Millie Schofield and Phil Foster Ranger, are hoping to see the restoration of their ancestor's home that currently stands deteriorating on upper Ventura Avenue.
In Ventura's Fading Treasures, you can see that the materials used for construction were superior to now. There was more care and time taken in the architectural design. A building was like a piece of art. Looking at these fading treasures is like looking at a family album. There are family connections to these businesses and homes. Ventura's gems should be restored like collector's items so that Ventura does not become a town without a soul - without history.
Recently, you moved into Ventura's new community WAV, Working Artists Ventura, and are actively involved in promoting it and the other artists sharing residency there. Tell us more about what the WAV means for Ventura's art scene?
SK - The WAV is like an experiment with this new concept where you have every kind of artist living and working in one place. It's exciting and has great potential. When you visit the WAV, instead of viewing artists as you would fish in an aquarium, you are swimming along side them. You are immersed in their world. It gives a person a unique view of what it's like being an artist, because you can see where the artists work and live and what inspires them. There is a special electric energy at the WAV.
What's in store for Sarah Kalvin in 2010?
SK - I need to have my art start to make a living for me and so I'm seeking to sell my collection of Ventura paintings in its entirety. I also plan to create more regularly scheduled workshops for children and seniors. In working with children, I'd like to teach them about the environmental problems which are endangering the natural floral and fauna at the mouth of the Ventura River. The workshops would also be a way to teach them things like sharing. For example, when they create their art, they keep one piece and give one to be used to sell and generate revenue to continue to fund the workshops. Finally, I plan to continue to be a part of the Ventura artist community, to help represent and develop Ventura's image as an art city.

Katy Hayward is a Senior Lecturer in Sociology at Queens University, Belfast
The difficulty of allowing for the maintenance of the United Kingdom whilst also catering for the varied circumstances of its various parts is an acutely difficult one. Anyone trying to square this circle in the Brexit process must accept that modes of governance and policy will have to change in any transition out of the EU. But let us take comfort here from recognising the messiness of the situation we already live with.
Current boundaries across these islands are neither completely open nor utterly frictionless; there are stark legal, social, political and economic differences (and similarities) among these regions and nations. Indeed, while it may be ironic that the prospect of the closer ties between the DUP and the Conservative Party highlights the differences within the UK, the same thing would surely happen on the island of Ireland with the prospect of Irish unification. Whether these existing differences are seen as problems, barriers, frictions etc. is largely shaped by cultural perspective and political choice.
At the heart of the Brexit debate are two different conceptions of sovereignty. If the EU is about the growth of sovereignty by sharing it, Brexit is, in essence, a move to deepen sovereignty by restricting it to the territory of the UK. This is discordant, to say the least, with the reality of post-Agreement Northern Ireland. The whole premise of the 1998 Agreement has been that single state solutions are inadequate. This, too, is the premise of European integration.
With this in mind, proper critical analysis of the management of Brexit in Northern Ireland needs to eschew the dangerous trend of repoliticising the border and cross-border links which tends to be a reductionist, over-simplifying interpretation of political will and economic need. Even aside from the failures of this nationalistic approach in the past, attempting to drag Northern Ireland as a whole in one of two opposing directions will only cause harm and risks undoing a great deal of hard-won good. What space is there within this current point of limbo to find a means of balancing these trends of rising nationalism and counter-nationalism?
The EU is a body of great internal variation; its call for imaginative and flexible solutions on the post-Brexit Irish border is not a disingenuous one. The EU's history of dealing with issues of contested territory and complex citizenship claims (in the wake of the collapse of colonial empires, the USSR and the former Yugoslavia, for example) demonstrates that it can be quite flexible. But this flexibility has always been in the context of trying to accommodate the specificity of the territories of its Member States. What happens when a Member-State withdraws, however, is a great unknown. (The case of Greenland is not that useful here given Denmark's continued EU membership). It is at this point that Ireland's unique involvement in NI, especially through citizenship, is of critical importance and offers a unique opportunity for Northern Ireland to navigate this tricky path. Putting this in different terms: the UK and Ireland will be on opposite sides of the Brexit negotiating table but they are also currently seated around the talks table in Stormont.
To illustrate this, we already have state institutions and agencies that function across state borders in these islands, North South East and West. The accountability lines of the North South Ministerial Council and implementation bodies (e.g. InterTrade Ireland, Food Safety Promotions Board, Waterways Ireland) go both to Dublin and London. Could there be space for new cross-border bodies to secure shared interests in the new context, e.g. electricity, environment, telecommunications, higher education research? Or – in a more ambitious move that could help facilitate trade across the Irish border – could there be potential for such bodies to ensure continued compliance with EU regulations and standards in certain key areas (e.g. agri-food)?
Such innovations could be something requested by the UK government at an early stage, and could be grounds for allowing time to formulate a transitional deal with the EU on the knotty border problem. The border issue cannot be resolved in a simple or straightforward matter, but the principal point of recognising it as a point of overlap between Britain and Ireland (and thus not exclusively to be affected by whatever 'pull' there is from the UK side) would be a vital one.
Thus, instead of giving up on the 1998 Agreement at a time of internal and exogenous crisis, the request could be for an 'Agreement plus' arrangement, centring on a willingness to accommodate complexity, requiring change in the UK, Ireland and the EU that allows for the creation of new East-West bodies and bilateral arrangements. If such bodies could cover fresh or enhanced areas of competence (or divergence) between Great Britain and Ireland as well as north and south on the island (e.g. customs, immigration, manufacturing standards), it could help meet the challenges of the fact that Northern Ireland will hold the status of being both post-membership and (potentially) pre-accession. Such arrangements will require flexibility and imagination (and no small amount of courage) from all players and parties, not just the EU.
But all this requires a properly functioning Assembly and Executive. The mandate to govern has been given and the preference for the clear majority of people is still currently that of devolution within the UK. At the very least, we need to present proper analysis of what repatriation of powers from the EU to Northern Ireland (e.g. agriculture, environment, employment) will require in terms of budgetary scope and in terms of cross-border (North/South, East/West) coordination. It is quite clear that the worst possible approach to the Brexit negotiations would be to centralise decision-making in the UK, paying little heed to regional concerns/divergence, and then only afterwards repatriating powers to the devolveds to, effectively, deal with the fallout.
The interests of Northern Ireland are, in absolute terms, peripheral to the primary interests of both London and Dublin. But looked at in a different way, borders can be seen not as dividing lines but as meeting points between states. Northern Ireland is in a unique position of being internationally recognised as an historical, economic, cultural and political meeting point (if not melting pot) between Britain and Ireland. If this connection is to be a positive rather than destructive one, common ground for the new post-Brexit era needs to be found. Northern Ireland is now a testbed for both the EU's flexibility and the durability of the UK. This will require change on all sides. Let us shun oversimplification; Northern Ireland's complexity and messiness is its greatest asset.
A version of this paper was delivered at the Politics workshop of the Ulster University Brexit Symposium, Belfast, 14 June 2017.
This is a guest slot to give a platform for new writers either as a one off, or a prelude to becoming part of the regular Slugger team.

Having sorted out the problems which always come with a first fixture, I am pretty confident this is as accurate a set of results as is likely to emerge. Thanks for all the club secretaries and XC contacts who responded so quickly to my cries for help. If you do find any errors to do with placings or times I am happy to hear what you have to say. For incorrectly spelled names, please contact whoever did the registrations for your club.
Yet again, a big thank you to City of Sheffield and Dearne AC members who hosted the event. It was a tough course in terms of up and down - someone did try to tell me there was more up than down. Sorry, but it probably just felt like that.
Details of the next fixture at Winter Hill, Kimberworth should go up on the website at the weekend.

Three to Buy when Fear Fades
11/11/2008 11:55 am EST
Focus: STOCKS
James Oberweis, editor of The Oberweis Report, finds some small growth stocks he thinks will gain when markets turn.
In our experience, those who buy when fear is the driver are likely to profit when a normal tolerance for risk returns to equity markets and [price/earnings ratios] begin to expand. Note that this strategy has failed miserably, at least so far, during this bear market. Cheap stocks have become cheaper.
But fear, in the short run, does not cause a rational response. Math trumps fear over the long term. The opportunity today, when viewed three years hence, will prove to be among the best buying opportunities of our lifetime.
That said, even though mathematics of history is on our side, the solitude of the wait can be equaled only by the loneliness of a spurned lover. Even if the economy is in for a rough haul, not every company will succumb. We've put together [some]] of our top ideas that have already reported earnings this quarter and whose earnings and outlook remain robust.
Healthcare companies like Illumina (Nasdaq: ILMN) fit that bill well. Illumina is a developer of next-generation life science tools for the large-scale analysis of genetic variation. In the third quarter, Illumina grew revenues by 54%. Before stock compensation and amortization charges, net income grew 44% to $29 million.
Besides benefiting from the high market growth for DNA analysis tools, they are taking share from competitor Affymetrix (Nasdaq: AFFX). Illumina is now the dominant leader with high barriers to entry. Most of their customers are research organizations and academic institutions. Illumina will buck a tough economy, as government and private funding for DNA analysis remains strong. (The stock closed at around $27 Monday-Editor.)
While technology overall has been spotty this quarter, these technology firms reported no sign of slowing down: ClickSoftware Technologies (Nasdaq: CKSW) and Baidu.com (Nasdaq: BIDU).
Click Software is a pint-size developer of mobile workforce management software who recently announced a partnership with SAP (NYSE: SAP). Click's solutions result in higher productivity, increased compliance, lower operational costs, and higher customer satisfaction.
In the third quarter, revenues were up 56% and earnings were nine cents a share versus two cents. Orders can be big and lumpy for Click, though management put out very strong estimate guidance for the next quarter. (The stock closed under $3 Monday—Editor.)
Chinese Internet search engine Baidu.com is finally trading at a relatively cheap valuation. With the number one position for Internet search in China, BIDU should command a premium P/E. The carnage of the Chinese equity market leaves shares trading for a mere 25x forward 12-months estimates, despite growth in excess of 100% in the third quarter. While ad rates could moderate in China, Badu at $211 is worth the risk.
Despite a very tough market environment, buying shares in good companies which are performing well despite a tough economy should bear fruit over time.Subscribe to The Oberweis Report here…

I'm pulling together the last bits and pieces for this weekend and New Hampshire Sheep and Wool. I seem to be ahead of schedule - something that doesn't happen very often. Either I've forgotten something important, or I've become more efficient. Since I prefer to put a positive spin on things, I'm going with the latter.
My recent dye runs have focused on kits, and, for once, Mother Nature has been on my side. The air has been dry - perfect for drying yarn. In keeping with that positive attitude, I'm optimistic that this weather pattern will hold through the weekend.
Today is the final production phase for these skeins and many more.
I'm going to pour myself a big cup of coffee and settle in. It's time to assemble kits.

A very fast summer!
What did I do over my summer? Now let me think. I rushed my husband to the hospital because he was in incredible pain....low and behold he was passing a kidney stone, a first for him and hopefully his last. Here's the proof:
I moved my father again, but this time it was a good, very good move. I can report that my 93 year old Dad is finally doing very well. He had his gangrenous finger tips amputated and now he has pain free fingers. Hind sight is 20-20, and we now acknowledge that this surgery should have been done sooner. He has healed beautifully and is much happier now that he has been moved back into a regular room at his assisted living, playing bingo, etc. I even like his new room better than his old one.
Things work out for the better most of the time.
We spent 2 weeks on Cape Cod, one week in July and one week in August. Left my middle son home alone for the first time. He got a job finally(!!!) and was lucky enough to work full time all summer. Working agreed with him and he seemed to be a much easier kid to get along with.
I also nursemaided my middle son after he got his four impacted wisdom teeth removed. The oral surgeon really had to dig out the teeth on the bottom and he had a bad reaction to the anesthesia. He didn't have it easy, but he survived.
Moved my middle son into college. It was a very easy move compared to when my older son moved into college. He is pursuing engineering like his older brother, though he is not sure of the type of engineering yet. He started classes this past Wednesday and seems happy. He is only an hour away from home, so he can come home whenever he wants.
My youngest started his sophomore year in high school, also this past Wednesday and seem very happy with all his new teachers. He'll be playing tuba this year in band and hopefully trombone in the jazz band. I've been helping with the band uniforms (fitting, altering, etc) again this year. I was more involved start to finish which included taking and picking up all the uniforms from the cleaners. Having only one son home this year should prove to be much easier with less driving and fighting and cooking ;)
As far as knitting goes, I don't have much to show you except for another finished baby prayer blanket for church:
and a stack of washcloths....very boring.
All white ones, except for the last one I used scrap yarn to finish because I ran out of white yarn. Sometimes though boring knitting is good for your psyche, but I must admit there is nothing like an exciting project to get you motivated. Looking forward to becoming motivated again ....soon!
I am almost finished with a pair of socks. I've been trying to finish them, but I can't quite get there. I am not liking the pattern I chose very much, but will stick to it until the end....I am almost there! This has not been a summer for knitting unfortunately! My sister who lives in Oregon sent me another skein of her handspun yarn for my birthday in June. She never forgets me :)
Look how soft it is...I really need to find a project for all of her handspun yarn that I have been hoarding. Must put my thinking cap on some day and find a pattern(s).
In my future I do see lots of knitting, so hopefully I'll have more to blog about later. Until next time...happy knitting :)

WOw you have had a busy summer. Nice to see you blogging again. I've been wondering how you've been doing.ReplyDelete
You have won the versital blogger award on my blog.
I hope you are having a great weekend.
~ Missy
Hi there! It's great to hear from you!ReplyDelete
Oh my goodness, I can't imagine how that kidney stone must have felt. My husband has been through that, and it was horrible. I trust your husband is doing well now.
I'm really glad to hear your dad is doing well and settled happily. :)
The blanket and cloths look great! Can't wait to see the socks. I did a lot of mindless knitting last winter and haven't touched my needles for six months. I do mean to start knitting again soon, though.
This has been such a good day - we're having lovely cool breezes and an interesting post to read here is makin' me think I'm doin' something right whether I am or not! ;)
p.s. I learned how to dye yarn in one of the Ravelry groups - A Kool Way to Dye
It is amazing how something so small can cause so much pain.ReplyDelete
Wow - it is amazing how something that small can cause so much problem! I didn't realize how tiny they were.ReplyDelete
Sounds like you've had a busy and productive summer - I hope your fall is the same!
- Anonymous9:26 PM, September 05, 2010
Whew! That was quite a busy summer.ReplyDelete
Hope your DH is feeling fine and NEVER has to do THAT again.
Wow, busy summer!! OMGoodness, that's a large kidney stone! I know when my hubby had his he was in agony! Thankfully it was passed and the docs didn't have to do something surgically (this happens to a friend of ours every few years, had had his "blown up" with ultrasound in hospital).ReplyDelete
Kids going off to college is great for them, but, boy, it's hard on moms, isn't it?! I bet the 2nd one was easier than 1st! When our youngest went to college I lost it - Lonnie got a mini doxie for my "empty nest" syndrome! She's more spoiled than our kids ever were, lol!
Hey, I'm with you, "boring" knitting is a good thing, allows us to relax our minds as well as bodies!
I LOVE your sister's yarn, too! Can't wait to see what you do with it!
I am glad to see you back! It's really nice to hear that things are going so well :o) I love your dishcloths - sometimes the most simple ones are the best!ReplyDelete
I'm glad you're back and more than glad that your dad is doing well!!ReplyDelete
I have to tell you--I've made more than my fair share of your circle dishcloths for gifts, and people were always amazed!!
Thanks for sharing!!

Welcome back! That sounds like a bumpy summer you had, and I'm glad your father has improved. One kid at home? Enjoy the simplicity! I marvel at the stack of washcloths; for someone who doesn't have much knitting to show, you did a fair amount.ReplyDelete
I am so glad things are better for you ! also glad to see your knitting ! the baby blanket is so pretty !ReplyDelete
sounds like it has been a busy summer but many things for the better. :) i never knew kidney stones were that teeny but yet hurt SO much! glad your dad is happier. it just sounds like everyone is in a better place right now. :)ReplyDelete
Thank you all for your comments! I really appreciate them. I usually don't follow up with an email, but if you do have a question please make sure you include a way to reach you within your comment so I may answer your question. Thanks and happy knitting :)

Lukoil, Russia's second-largest oil producer, said Tuesday its second-quarter net profit dropped 16 percent from a year ago to $1.9 billion due to a rise in export duties and cost inflation.
Sales rose to $25.8 billion from $20.1 billion a year earlier, driven by higher oil prices.
Oil production remained flat at 24 million tons while total oil and gas output advanced 2 percent in January-June compared to a year ago. The total production growth was driven by an advance in Lukoil's gas projects in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, analysts at Swiss bank UBS said in a note.
U.S. oil company ConocoPhillips announced in July that it is planning to sell its 20 percent stake in the Russian oil producer. Lukoil said at the time that it would be willing to buy some of the stake.
The company's management, however, has since sent conflicting signals about how much the company would be willing to buy. Several top managers spoke in favor of the wider ownership of the stock.
Lukoil is expected to clarify its position on the buyback at the conference call later on Tuesday.
Investors are also watching the potential introduction of a preferential tax regime for oil produced at Lukoil's fields in the Caspian Sea, which would likely drive up the company stock.
Lukoil shares were down 0.8 percent at the MICEX stock exchange Tuesday morning in line with the market.

Learn how to hunt turkey using a turkey decoy
The Old Gobbler
The North American wild turkey, otherwise lovingly called long beard, gobbler, and oh yeah S.O.B from time to time. A weary animal is he, standing about thirty-six inches from the bottom of his three toed feet to the top of his color changing head. With his monocular vision and long neck, the ole gobbler with the turn of his head sees a full 360 degrees. This makes stalking him all but impossible. Which begs the question, if a hunter cannot sneak up on the ole long beard, how do we get him to come to us? Continue reading this article and I believe you will Learn how to hunt turkey using a turkey decoy, discover the little known secrets you simply should know to increase your turkey hunting success.
Hey all you Hens watch me strut my stuff
Feeding hen decoy doesn't spook ole gobblers
Flock of Wild Turkeys
The wild turkey is by his very nature a bird that prefers to be part of a flock. During summer and early fall, a tom is perfectly happy being around his fellow bachelors. Late fall and through the winter months all the hens, jakes, pullets and toms gather in their winter flocks. Then there is the spring, that special time of the year when love is in the air. The only thing the old gobbler's heart desires is romance. The old testosterone levels go off the charts and the old gobblers, long beards or toms if you like, get real competitive when it comes to the breeding hens.
The old Tom wants
Knowing what a turkey wants to do, where he wants to do it, and with whom he wants to do it with is at least half the battle. However, you simply must remember, a turkey is Easley spooked. When a gobbler sees something that is not quite right, he will leave the area quick, fast, and in a hurry.
Being not quite right, is different for each long beard, and even more challenging a gobbler will not necessarily react the same way to a given situation every time he encounters it. That my friend is how an ole gobbler gets to be an old gobbler, being unpredictable and unforgiving. While we are on the subject of an ole gobbler, did you know it is possible for a wild turkey to live more than ten years, even as many as twelve or thirteen? Most however, do not live anywhere close to that. For the most part, toms meet with their demise closer to two years of age.
Custom turkey call
Turkey hunting vest
Weary Old Bird
It truly is a cruel world after all in the animal kingdom; predators are indeed around every corner. Turkeys do taste good and any Conover will go out of there way to get themselves a tasty turkey dinner. Foxes, coyotes, and dogs on the ground, and birds of prey from above make the wild turkey extremely weary. This just serves to reinforce the old words of wisdom, that what does not kill us makes us stronger. The old long beards, you know the old birds with the eleven and twelve inch beards or ropes as they are called, and sport a set of hooks or spurs if you like long enough the hang over a limb, earning them the nick name 'limb hanger'. Learn these valuable lessons well, and that my friend is why after the tender age of three years old a gobbler gets really hard to hunt, and after four "all but impossible".
However, all but impossible, is not to say an old long beard is impossible to hunt. For a turkey hunter to be successful when hunting a mature old gobbler, a hunter simply must tell Mr. Long beard what he wants and more importantly, expects to hear. The way he expects to hear it. Show him what he expects to see where he expects to see it. Then close the deal with him before he realizes what it is that has just happened to him, sounds easy, right. Remember, above all, as a turkey hunter you must be and have an unbelievable amount of patience. I liken it to the story about the two bulls standing on the hillside.
Primos trigger stick makes holding your shotgun steady much easier
Portable turkey hunting blind
There was this old Bull and a younger bull still in training on how to be a bull, lying atop a hill in the pasture underneath a shade tree. When a large truck pulling a stock trailer drove into the driveway, pulled-up to the loading ramp, and with a loud, blast of air from the brakes as it stopped awoke the younger bull from his nap. The old bull still lay where he napped motionless, as the doors on the stock trailer opened with a clang and a bang.
With the sound of the door opening, the young bull jumped to his feet, and locked his eyes of the now open door on the trailer. What to his wondering eyes should appear? One of the prettiest little heifers the young bull had ever seen, and then another, and another, after all was said and done there was a total of five of the best-looking heifers standing in the holding pen the young bull had ever had the good fortune to lay his eyes on.
With the sight of the little heifers just standing there in the pasture, the young bull could not help himself. He started pacing back and forth, pawing the ground, and bellowing at the top of his lungs.
Being somewhat annoyed with the young bull's behavior. The old bull awoke from his nap, stumbled to his feet and asked the young bull; just what in the world is all the commotion about?
Look, at all those beautiful heifers standing down there in the pasture, I am going to run down there and get me some.
Yeah, your about to get you some, but it just might not be what you think. I tell you what, let us just work our way to them real slow, See exactly what is going on, when we see everything is exactly how it should be, we will then and only then, my foolish young friend, ease up too them, and have our way with them all.
Remember, Learn how to hunt turkey using a turkey decoy like the ole bull, and have your way with all the thunder chickens, long beards, or gobblers if you like, in your neck of the woods.
Remember, pre-season scouting, patients and close the deal when the time is right. Mike

Random photos from the last few weeks. These nice folks are the ones I rode with from Portland, Oregon to the Vipassana course in Onalaska, WA. Quite an experience to ride up getting to know some really cool people for a couple of hours and then suddenly be bound to noble silence and unable to communicate with any of your new friends for more than a solid week, even though they're right there...
Final goodbye photo of me with one of the kindest and most open and encouraging families I've ever met. I cannot ever thank them enough for the positive energy they shared with me during my time(s) in Bend.
Two haunting images of the results of freezing fog that rolled through Bend during my last week there. Innocuous-looking branches whirl and twist into the sky, but after the fog they become jagged and aggressively covered with spikes of ice. Beautiful.

WELCOME TO THE MOOT, oh world-wanderers and word-whisperers. After two years of Peace Corps. After 2,200 miles on the Pacific Crest Trail. What. Comes. Next?

Le Silo, are a 3-piece band from Japan, that play a widely influenced blend of demanding prog rock, which mostly takes the form of RIO and avant-jazz, with punk-rock stylistics, which is not only captivating, but well played. By no means is their sound entirely original, but the musicianship is of a high quality and they do indeed have some very excellent and surprising moments too. Their punk stylistics are evident and with Miyako's links to Yoshida Tatsuya, then it is obvious they are influenced by Ruins and Koenjihyakkei and most likely Boredoms and Happy Family as well. Non-Japanese bands they are likely influenced by, include Univers Zéro, Present, French TV, Samla Mammas Manna and Miriodor. Originally starting life as Miyako (presumably named after Miyako Kanazawa), a punk orientated band; they eventually changed their style and their name to Le Silo, (some of their tracks have French titles too), presumably in honour of the French and Belgian bands that most likely influenced them. The members of the band - Yoshiharu Izutsu (guitar and voice); Michiaki Suganuma (drums and voice) and Miyako Kanizawa (piano) - released their debut album "8.8" in 2004 on the Tutinoko label in Japan. Miyako is also a member of Koenjihyakkei (keyboards and voice) alongside Ruins and Daimonji drummer Tatsuya Yoshida, who also produced "8.8".
If you enjoy the Japanese avant-prog scene and bands such as Ruins and Koenjihyakkei, you'll enjoy Le Silo. If you enjoy bands such as Univers Zero, Present, Sammla Mannas Manna, Guapo, Ahvak and Absolute Zero, you'll also likely enjoy Le Silo. Also liking zeuhl will help you with your chances of liking them also. They are definitely recommended for those who want something different to the norm.

text: With the Festival season approaching I'm going to need a Battery Pack that can keep this phone charged up easily for a week. For my previous HTC Windows Mobile PDA I used a 24kmah capacity external usb charger, which did the trick. But it doesn't work for the Milestone. From what I've read if a USB charger doesn't output more than 850mah then unless its a computer that can send an authorisation signal then the phone won't charge. And my battery packs output is 5v/700mah. This is an absolute pain. So I'm stuck with a problem and I need a solution. So either I need a new external power pack that can keep this phone going for a week (10kmah+ capacity), and please only recommend something you know works for the Milestone/Droid. Or I need to somehow get the Milestone to charge from a battery pack with an output of less than 850mah.

(Morbid centric) Which song do you want played at your funeral?
I want Here Comes The Sun by The Beatles. I'm not even a massive Beatles fan, but I just think this song is pretty apt for such an occaison
Also, what's the procedure for telling people what you want played? Some people die young, so have their parents just assumed what song they would have wanted. Some kid in our year at school was killed when he was about 15, and his parents chose to have Masterblaster 2000 by MC Luck and DJ Neat. Now, I'm not saying he didn't love that song... but really?
So yeah, either Here Comes The Sun or I'm Still Standing by Elton John
What's yours?
by the Cure
in the live version.
People would hate it for a long time...
Do you realize
By the flaming lips
Kind of an obvious but i like it
these are just years

i'll get my coat.
isnt playing a sad song at your funeral a bit presumptuous ? I would feel bad that a sad song would start playing then make everyone cry, or they would think youre a bastard because you expect them to cry to this song. Gives me the creeps.
And to answer your question, Dont stop movin' by S club 7.
I don't think Here Comes The Sun is a sad song. If you listen to the lyrics, is quite the opposite
Good choice, too
I dont think
do u realize is a sad song yet iv hyad this argument with soo many people before
Necro - Dead Body Disposal
