The Toronto Waterfront 10K returned last weekend for the second edition and while the first edition of this race was really fun, this year was expected to be even better with Lululemon as the title sponsor. Just prior to registration opening on April 11th, the hype had been building for weeks and with only 7000 spots available and a price of $50, I knew this would sell out fast and didn't waste any time registering on April 11th.
I was coming off two weeks of full rest (no running) and one week of light running which included three days off after having oral surgery a week before the race. I hadn't done any speed work since the beginning of May and if the easy runs leading up to the race were any indication of what to expect, I should be taking it easy on race day.
I got up at 5:20am (apparently 25 minutes earlier than last year for some reason!), walked my dog, ate some yogurt, and got ready to head out. Like last year, the race fell on a Saturday which meant I could walk to the Eglinton subway station near my home and head down to the start of the race. I arrived at the start around 6:40 which gave me 50 minutes before the start of the race. Unlike last year, I packed a bag and dropped it off at the bag drop which was located a few streets North of the start on University Avenue. One of the first people I ran into was Petja. When Petja isn't being an awesome person on Instagram, he occasionally dresses up as Thor and runs with the Justice League runners.
There are quite a few incredible running crews in Toronto and Saturday's race brought out the best of them. It was really cool seeing Tribe FitnessTribe Fitness, Parkdale Road Runners, Blacktoe Running, NTRC, and of course my crew, High Park Rogue Runners before heading over to the starting corral. When I registered for the race, I registered under HPRR. There is a category called mixed teams (men and women) on the Canada Running Series website. The top teams don't receive anything other than bragging rights, which is still fun!
The Race
Heading into the race, I spoke with my buddy Daniel about a race strategy. I really wanted to take it easy and Daniel mentioned a few of the Rogue Runners were running together at a pace (4:30/km) that would be manageable for me and still make me work a bit. We were all grouped together in the corral and I was feeling pretty good about our positioning just next to the 45 minute pacer.
It was much warmer than I would have liked, but it was partially cloudy so hopefully it wouldn't warm up too much in the next 45 minutes or so! After a few minutes in the corral, we were off!
First 5K splits: 3:57, 4:04, 4:14, 4:08, 4:03
I didn't look at my watch at all during the start, but I did notice right away I couldn't find any of my crew mates. I kept turning around as we headed South on University Avenue, but there were so many people surrounding me, there was no use. I decided I would just run and at some point I would see them. I didn't feel like I was running too hard and my running effort was not too difficult so I kept on going. Around the 2km mark I decided to peek at my watch and I was a bit surprised at my pace! I was running quicker than half marathon pace and at least 20 seconds faster than my target race pace.
It was around this time when I switched the app on my Garmin watch to "race predictor" so I can keep an eye on where I was expecting to finish. I did this because I also made the decision to maintain a goal time (41-42 minutes) I now realized in hindsight I probably shouldn't have attempted!
By the 5km mark, my heart rate was in the area I expected it to be considering how hard I was running and I was feeling pretty good.
My projected finish at the 5km mark was 42:18. 1 minute off my course and 10K PR.
6km – 10.2KM: 4:10, 4:14, 4:12, 4:38, 4:24, 5:35
By the 6km mark, the heat and humidity started to wear me down. My heart rate was spiking to the mid-190s (my heart rate never exceeded the mid 180s when I ran the Chilly Half earlier in the year and I was running around the same pace!) and I was starting to lose steam. Part of the issue could have been the lack of running I did in the weeks leading up to the race, but I believe it was mostly due to the heat!
As soon as we made the turnaround at the 8km mark, the wheels started falling off. By now there was no reprieve from the sun and we were running East on Lakeshore. I started noticing my heart rate bouncing from 195-198 for the first time since I started running and for a moment I truly wondered if my heart was going to pound out of my chest. In a panic, I pulled over to the side of the course and walked a bit to try to catch my breath and reduce my heart rate. It helped for a brief moment.
At the 9km mark, runners approach the Jameson Street exit which is a small hill that turns to the left. My heart rate spiked again and again I started to walk. Right around this time, my friend Ben pulled up next to me and pleaded with me to keep running. I mustered up as much strength as I could for the final 800m push and crossed the finish line thankful for the race to be over.
Official Time: 42:50
I found out later the High Park Rogue Runners finished 3rd in mixed teams (men and women) and while only the times of those people who register as a team are counted towards the team totals, it was really cool to see my name on the Canada Running Series website! Congrats crew!
Post Race
I had no business racing as hard as I did and I honestly don't regret trying. Considering I was not in race shape and didn't run a clean race, I did pretty well! Am I crazy to think that?!?!
The good news about not requiring medial assistance is I got to experience the awesome Lululemon post race event. Before we get to that, I do need to thank Ben for dragging me across the finish line! I probably would still be out there walking around in circle if it weren't for him!
After a few congratulatory hugs, I started to make my way towards a few people I knew. The first person was Allison who I never met in person before, but we are friends on Instagram and she informed me she was handing out medals at the finish, so I headed over to get my medal from her!
After getting my medal, I started to see a few friends crossing the finish line and head over to what was one of the most beautiful post race sights I ever saw in my life. On both sides of the finishing chute, there was a wall of donuts! I immediately woofed down a donut and thankfully my friend Carolina was there to offer me some of her beer to wash it down! I snapped a few photos with friends who finished around the same time and after chatting for a bit, I met up with Daniel and Dom and headed over to the post race party.
I should have taken more photos of the post race party site at Exhibition Place because the scene was unreal. If it weren't for the sweaty runners and medals hanging around everyone's neck, you would have thought you were attending a massive outdoor concert. There was so much to see and do and the vibe was amazing! I quickly made my way over to the Saucony Canada tent to say hello to some of my friends who were working the tent.
I bumped into another friend of mine, Heather, at the Saucony Canada tent and we snapped a few photos in the selfie booth! I snapped a few more with Daniel, then it was time to go. We were pretty hungry and needed to find a place to eat in the area.
Daniel and I met up with Rose, Sammy and Sue at Aroma in Liberty Village for a post race breakfast. I ordered an egg and cheese on a croissant and an ice aroma coffee. I then proceeded to drop the tray on on the ground breaking the plate and getting ice coffee everywhere bringing an interesting race experience to a fitting end.
Thank you Canada Running Series, Lululemon, and Saucony Canada for putting on such an amazing race and thanks for the free race photos!

The thing I'll never understand about my bike (and never complain about) is how for only 300€ it could start out as a 9/10 ride when so many people are unhappy with their bikes they paid thousands for. I substracted one point in the beginning because the saddle was a little too hard and narrow for my liking, but then it wasn't really bad and I made it to over 1000 kilometers before I swapped it out for a Brooks B17 Select (with copper rivets!) that cost a little more than 2/3 of what the original bike cost.
That was the 10/10 right there, I love the combination of ride comfort and colour (even though it introduced a third colour into the scheme I like it a lot) and have ridden many, many kilometers with this since.
It was surprisingly fast, actually there is very little competition that can keep up with me even though their bikes – even the average commuter – costs easily double.
Admittedly more for looks than an actual need for lighter wheels I had been toying with the idea of getting an H+Son wheelset for a long time, I really dig their looks. Yet for over five years I've been riding on the stock wheels and to be honest haven't ever had any problems with them until about a month ago when they finally started to give out. In their defense I have to say that in the five years of more or less daily riding I've never had to true them (quite amazing) or had any problems whatsoever, but then they started squeaking quite badly and I realized it was time for either an overhaul of the bearings or sucking up the price point and finally buying that set of wheels I've been wanting so bad.
Coupled with a nice end-of-season discount when I looked for the price I went for the latter and can now say I couldn't be happier. Starting with the unexpected and free overnight-delivery to the installation and first two rides I must say my little green friend has now turned into a solid 11.
I saved a rough estimate of 600-700 grams over the wheelset which does make a noticeable difference even in non-racing-conditions, mostly starting from red lights and on hills which is where a singlespeed traditionally suffers more than geared bikes so I'm quite happy with that. Apart from that the difference is really neglible because even with the stock wheels I was already breezing past most anyone – no bragging intended, people here just really like riding slow for some reason – but the wheels certainly feel nice. I went from a 32 spoke count to 24/28 and if anything the ride feels stiffer, but then that's the point where I admit feeling no difference.
But did I mention the looks yet? Boy am I in love with how they look, I like the understated look compared to other premium-segment wheelsets (404ZIPPHEMSPPEEEEEEED) and now I finally am at the point where I can look at anything on my bike and think 'yes, that looks mighty fine to my eye'.
So on to many more miles on what I consider the most fun one can have while covering more than walking distance.

The Day the Music Died
I'll always remember where I was when I heard Michael Jackson died; snorkelling and diving with Minke Whales on the Great Barrier Reef. Last weekend Tanya and I flew north to Cairns where we hopped on board the Spoilsport for 3 days of diving and snorkelling with Minke whales. The trip finished off with a low-level flight back to Cairns in an 8-seater Cessna operated by Hinterland Aviation.
Here are some pictures. There will probably be a video later.

Sydney Winter Festival
Tonight we went to the Sydney Winter Festival. They have an outdoor ice rink that costs only $20 to skate on, but tickets were sold out weeks ago. They also have a range of traditional winter foods from all over the world. I was promised poutine, but couldn't find any.
Here are a handful of pictures.

Taronga Zoo
This weekend we went to the Taronga Zoo where we had a chance to see the world's only captive (rescued) leopard seals, a red panda, a pygmy hippo, and giraffes against the Sydney Harbour skyline. We also went for a dive at Shark Point where a cuttlefish tried to mate with me.
Here are some pictures at the zoo and diving.

South Australia
We've recently returned from our trip to South Australia. While there, we cage dove with great white sharks, snorkelled with sea lions, dove with leafy sea dragons and watched the mating rituals of the giant Australian cuttlefish and that was just in the first four days! After that we headed to the Flinders Ranges for some hiking where we climbed to St. Mary's peak - the highest peak in the ranges. After a few days of hiking we headed south to Kangaroo Island where we did a bit of diving and watched the New Zealand fur seals and sea lions.
Here are some pictures.

Divorced parents in Texas may want to get an early start at finalizing a parenting schedule for the holidays. Regardless of whether one parent has sole custody or whether they have joint child custody, children will want to spend time with both parents. With the four big holidays -- Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years -- all falling within a nine week period, proper planning may avoid disappointment.
Child custody: Are your holiday parenting schedules in place?
Divorce is a major event worthy of a detailed checklist
When arranging major events, many people find that the tried and trusted way of drawing up a checklist is the only way to ensure nothing is left unaddressed. So, why not use the same method to cope with the many aspects of divorce? A divorcing spouse in Texas will typically have to rearrange his or her own life, help children adjust to new family dynamics, manage limited finances and cope with navigating the legal processes. A checklist could be very helpful.
Prenuptial agreements for structure to second marriages
While some young couples in Texas avoid discussions about prenuptial agreements, both parties in a second or third marriage may recognize the importance of protecting their respective assets. Prenuptial agreements need not focus on the possibility of a divorce in the future, but rather on creating structures for successful marriages. Remarrying often involves children from previous marriages of both partners, and proactively addressing potential issues may provide peace of mind to both spouses.
Grandparents' rights: Stranger gets newborn after mother dies
Grandparents nationwide, including in Texas, have certain rights. However, claiming those rights can be difficult. Under Texas law, a court may consider appointing the grandparents of a child as conservators if both parents of the child are deceased. However, what happens if the mother was not married? A mother in another state is currently fighting for grandparents' rights after her unmarried daughter died during childbirth.

The Legislative Process - The Operating Budget
|Posted on January 23, 2016 at 7:20 PM
|comments (4)
With less than 90 days left in the 2016 legislative session, the Alaska State Legislature is now considering the state operating budget for fiscal year 2017(FY17), commencing July 1, 2016. The operating budget consists of state employee salaries, operational costs, bond debt payments, Medicaid costs, and budget items necessary to keep the government going. The state capital budget consists of tangible items, i.e. building maintenance, road maintenance, new state buildings, office equipment, etc. This article focuses on the operating budget process, although the capital budget process is similar.
Session adjourns April 17 this year. The clock is ticking...
The executive branch agencies (there are 15 plus the governor's office), the Legislature, the court system and the university have submitted their requested operating and capital budgets to the governor for consideration. He revealed his budget decisions in December. This is the starting point for the legislature to start their deliberations. (See HB 256 and SB 120.)
What's happening in Juneau right now?
House members are assigned to subcommittees for each operating budget. State agency representatives are meeting formally with the assigned subcommittees right now, justifying their need for increases/decreases and changes to their budgets. They review details of personnel, operational costs, federal mandates, and all that goes into running state government. The Legislature also has a full-time legislative finance agency that works in tandem with the subcommittees, legislative leadership and the governor's office to provide any detail work that may be required to understand the budget dynamics. The subcommittees are given a 'cap' for their assigned budgets by the legislative leadership, to keep the spending to a set ceiling based on last year's numbers plus (or minus!) fiscal year 2017 considerations.These are complicated budgets, and difficult to fully comprehend in such a short period of review time.
Around late February, the House Finance Committee holds a statewide public hearing on the state operating budget to give advocates an opportunity to defend programs they feel are most important to them, their communities and their constituencies. This hearing is posted about a week before it takes place around the state. Participants are allowed two minutes to make their case via teleconference at their local Legislative Information Office. House Finance Committee members sit through a day of testimony to listen, take notes, and absorb what residents are saying. Legislators take note of their own constituents, so if you have a budget item you are passionate about, by all means participate in this exercise. Make sure to identify yourself with your House and Senate District. Your voice will not go unnoticed.
Once the public hearing is done, the full House Finance committee considers the subcommittees' recommendations and recommendations from their constituencies. Amendments are offered in committee, and once finalized, the operating budget is passed out of committee to the House Floor for debate and a vote. The House takes at least two days to debate, consider amendments and vote.
Once the budget is passed by the House, it is passed to the Senate, where it goes through the same process, including another opportunity for public testimony. Once the Senate passes its version of the operating budget, the House is notified.
What happens if there are differences between the House and Senate numbers?
Since the House and Senate versions are always different, the Senate President and the Speaker of the House assign three of their members to a Conference Committee to iron out the differences. This committee usually consists of the co-chairs of their respective Finance Committee, as well as one minority member from each Finance Committee. Although the conference committee meets in public, the decisions made are agreed upon before the members sit at the table. At this point in the process, there is no testimony from agencies or public. This happens during the final days of session. Any item that matches in both the House and Senate version of the operating budget is not open for discussion. Decisions are made only on items that have different numbers. The Conference Committee can accept one of the two numbers, deny the increment, or compromise in between the numbers. Rarely does the committee add more money to the budget unless it is technical in nature or a majority of the committee votes in favor of the increase. Bear in mind that the capital budget also goes through a similar process, and the final capital budget is revealed in the last days or hours leading up to adjournment. There are also multiple pieces of important and sometimes contentious legislation that are all bottled up at the end, and since the Legislature is mandated to adjourn within 90 days, you can imagine there are some long days and nights to get them to the last day.
Session adjourns on or before April 17 this year. So much to do…so little time…

Christmas is a time of love, of joy, and of hope. It signifies the end of another year and offers a chance to reflect and to make wishes for the year ahead. Usually it's filled with family and laughter, gifts and food; it's a time of happiness and celebration. Christmas isn't always easy for everyone though, especially for those feeling the loss of a presence in the room or those who are sick and struggling. Working alongside Macmillan Cancer Support, npower filled the night sky above London's Southbank yesterday evening with messages of love to not only raise all important funds, but to spread the Christmas spirit and remind those who are grieving or suffering that there is hope. I went down to the Observation Deck to send my own message and to watch the sky light up and, despite the fact I couldn't feel my own hands, it was a really beautiful occasion that made me feel all warm and festive inside.
Light Sky was opened just after five o'clock by Britain's Got Talent judge, Amanda Holden, who looked very festive in a red two piece. She sent the first message into the sky; a dedication to her Papa who they lost to Alzheimers this year, and without whom Christmas will not quite be the same. When Amanda had explained the event to her young daughter, five year old Hollie exclaimed that the messages were being sent straight up to heaven.
When it was time to send my own message I decided to write something to put a smile on everybody's faces and to remind us all that Christmas isn't just about the food, the presents and the mulled wine, but about spirit and kindness. I think we could all probably be a little kinder to one another now and then, and the Light Sky event was a worthy reminder that we don't always know what pain or suffering someone else might be struggling with behind closed doors.
Head down to the Southbank tonight (Friday 1st December) to add your own message, or if you'd like to support Macmillan, you can visit npower's donation page and find out more about the Light Sky initiative.

Elin's second birthday party was just 1.5 weeks ago and I am excited to share pictures and details. I couldn't be more thrilled with how everything turned out. I have many photos so I will share the details here and then follow up with a post of the birthday girl at the party!
Elin has enjoyed playing with her tea sets so much this past year that I thought a tea party-themed birthday party would be just perfect for her! The theme turned out to be a little harder than I imagined to find elements that weren't too "vintage tea" but yet not too modern. My first hurdle was to find the invitations and party prints. After hours and hours of searching I found Jo Studio and I found all the elements I was looking for in the party prints, right down to the exact pink, blue, and green color hues I was searching for.
Can we just talk about the gorgeous flowers?!?! In my wildest dreams I could not have imagined anything more beautiful! My florist, Rosemari is so talented. I gave her some inspiration photos and talked about my favorite flowers and she blew me away. She gets me and my vision and I just love her–enough said.
Nothing says tea party without some lovely small desserts. I found a lovely bakery that was up for the challenge of making a tea pot on the cake and specialized in french macarons. Again, I was totally blown away at what a fantastic job the baker did at matching my vision and color scheme.
Since this was a tea party theme for a child, I opted not not have tea but instead had sparkling pink lemonade, sparkling french berry lemonade, and water. They were delicious! The glass bottles also gave it a lovely vintage feel. I was able to also find some plastic milk bottle sippy cups for the younger children at the party.
I loved the look of these paper fans as a fun backdrop and I initially toyed with the idea of getting crafty and attempting to make these myself, but then I thought better of the idea and decided to leave this up to the professionals. Boy was that a good idea! I had such a positive experience working with Jennifer from The Papier Studio. The paper was thick and of a nice high quality. They gave the room great texture and dimension.
Last year I was thrilled to find paper plates from Hallmark that you could personalize with a photo. They were so adorable and I was so sad to see that Hallmark discontinued their party supplies on their online shop. After browsing I found something similar from Shindigz. I love the extra special touch that these plates add.
Elin loves balloons and I found these lovely and unique balloons on one of my blogger friend's blog and Etsy shop. I love the cleanness of the clear balloon and the fun confetti in the beautiful coordinating pastel colors inside!
I had a hard time finding tea pots or tea cups that matched my theme. I was ecstatic when I found this unfinished tea pot and pedestal at Michaels. My dad spray painted it pink and then painted the ruffle and knob white. I think it turned out gorgeous! I plan to keep this in Elin's playroom as a decoration and a keepsake from her second birthday party.
Elin's second birthday was a success and I was so blessed to have been able to enjoy planning and executing her party.
I will be posting part 2 later this week.

Zoey isn't like the other chickens. She has dreams. She has plans.
I loved this new book by Adam Lehrhaupt called Chicken in Space because I can really relate to the crazy chicken, Zoey, and her big ideas and adventures. Growing up in SE Ohio Appalachia, I had ideas of having adventures and going out into the world. My family told me I was crazy. Most of my friends thought I was delusional. In high school, I had never been on an airplane, had barely left my home state of Ohio, and had very little idea of where my life would take me as I started college at 15. Perhaps I was a little out there with my dreams, but by the time I was 21 I had: finished my undergraduate degree in economics, traveled to many different countries, had studied in Spain, lived on both coasts of the United States, and had started my federal government career and began living in Austin, Texas. Maybe it isn't so bad to have wild plans and adventures when others around you want to just stay grounded.
Zoey is a chicken who has BIG plans and her best friend, Sam the pig, really just wants to eat pies, but is her reluctant companion who will join her on her wild adventures. Zoey decides she wants to be the first chicken to go to space and besides Sam, all her other barnyard companions think she is NUTS. They live on a farm! How would they launch to space without the necessary tools? Not a problem, Zoey insists, just opportunities to find solutions! As her friend Sam says, Zoey always finds a way. While the space adventure is not exactly a trip to the stars, it is certainly an adventure in itself and underlines the very important qualities of imagination, friendship, and determination. While this is obviously a very funny story, I think it is also important for me to remember that when my kids tell me they want to go on some crazy adventures, that I'm open minded and help them find opportunities for their BIG ideas. You never know when you can launch one in to space…or eat a yummy MOON pie.

This feels super long reading it back, I'm happy to also do a quick voice chat interview on Discord or whatever you guys use.
Tell us tell us a little about yourself.
Yo! I'm a music teacher living in the desert of southern California. Graduated high school in 2000, so I'm a big fan of the TV show "Daria". When I'm not playing WoW these days I play a lot of Overwatch, I make YouTube videos (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIy9Md_zs8E69DS_e7Terjw), I'm in a ska band kinda (www.Epic18.rocks), and I'm working on starting up a side business home recording studio. I heard about Game Theory from Skarn, and upon reading the "about" section, your Rule 0 matches my own: Don't be a dick. I like that. It's verbatim my old motto.
What class and spec(s) are you applying with? What other classes have you played? When did you start playing? What guilds were you in? How much raiding have you done? PVP much?
What is your Weakness?
I'm applying as a Priest. Basically whatever role you need me for. I don't care for raiding as Disc, but with the right healer setup it can definitely be made to work. I played a pretty serious Resto Druid in Legion initially, but my guild ended up not needing it so I changed to Priest DPS. I also put a lot of time into Death Knight tanking this expansion, but that was mostly for Mythics because I felt our guild had a shortage of available Mythics tanks. I'm an altoholic, so I'm happy to change to whatever class/spec you may need at any given time. Warlock was my true main for many years, but with the advent of channeled filler spells for Affliction I've kinda changed gears. I started playing WoW at like the beginning of BC, and I haven't unsubscribed since. I was a raid leader for my 10-man guild from Wrath through Cataclysm before I took a break after my daughter was born. I'm a co-founder of said guild called TSU TAIN GUU FAITAA that is still active but has gone a different direction and it just doesn't feel right anymore. Lots of great friends in the group still, but I just wasn't enjoying myself anymore. I played Legion pretty seriously from Launch up until just before they released the Trials raid. I've only ever been in one guild until Game Theory. I used to PVP a lot, but I really don't like the PVP talent system and it's been a huge turn off. My weakness is definitely my initial raiding experience. We raided very well for a group of friends when I started, but I got used to having to fill whatever random role was needed from patch to patch. When Mists of Pandaria came out, my guild had grown large enough that doing so was no longer needed. It was strange to me. I feel like I get bored playing just one character. I always have that urge to fill necessary roles. The Raid Finder system has definitely helped satisfy my need to play multiple characters.
What do you struggle with? What are you working on improving?
What was your favorite gaming moment?
I struggle with remembering the minute details of what changes in WoW from expansion to expansion. I have more IRL projects (and a kid) than I used to when I started and so it's hard for me to maintain bleeding edge information in this ever changing game. I'm ALWAYS working on improving everything, which sounds really cliche, but it's actually what I do. I spend hours smashing target dummies and getting the feel and flow of play styles JUST right. It's the same philosophy I have when it comes to teaching, something called "Best Practice". Just because you're good doesn't mean that you're done. Things are always evolving and so must I. My favorite gaming moment... there are so many in a lifetime of gaming. Back in Wrath, the first raid that my guild full cleared without having to pug anyone was ICC 10. We worked so hard to finish the damn thing, but we did it. It was a really gratifying achievement for me personally because we made it work with whoever wanted to come. No benching people. No hounding anyone to be imba. Just skill and encouragement.

Le chapitre 12
However, life had not always been this pleasant; it was actually pretty rough when they first had landed. The four of them were sharing a space not much larger than his garage back home on Earth. He had worried a bit about that during the training on Earth. While he wasn't a particularly possessive person, he did like claiming his space, his tools and his responsibilities. Also, he wasn't too keen on semi-public showering and toileting. Yet, all four of them seemed to have quickly settled into a routine that kept everyone comfortable. He kept his personal needs to a few predictable times. Usually when he started toward the shower, the others had already made themselves busy at the other end of the room, especially the ladies. He wasn't a prude but there were some things that his mother had taught him were just to be kept private. Still, they had all taken to wearing minimal clothing so there weren't many secrets between them. At first he considered this risqué.
"Were we all exhibitionists?" he wondered to himself.
But the practicalities of their environment and the necessity for minimal personal effects at launch hadn't given them abundant wardrobe alternatives. Yes, at times the living was rough like when he had gone camping with his Scout troop he thought. But it wasn't all difficult or unpleasant.
Happily, some parts of his new life were kind of nice. For instance, he enjoyed having complete control over their air quality. They could regulate the temperature, the humidity and even the smell. On his turns, he'd chosen to wake to air that was slightly cool with a hint of dampness and the smell of fresh cut hay tingling at the back of his nose. Funny he thought, "he'd never lived on a farm and had stayed at farm houses only a few times."
Because of where his work took him, he'd spent most of his time in towns and cities. Still, rising out of his cot in the habitat module to that atmosphere put a huge smile on his face and got him ready to face anything coming his way.
And that smile had come in handy a few times already. The first few days had been an abrupt and crucially quick learning experience. Their habitat was functioning on their arrival but they noticed little glitches all about. Lights didn't work. Air vents were quiet. Wire tracings didn't match the schematics. And so on. Most concerning were the air-alarms. These initiated with a low, audible siren-like noise and a slow flashing of yellow strip lights. Both the siren's frequency and the intensity of the lights increased as the internal air pressure dropped. Perhaps a micrometeorite had struck or a joint had separated. In any case, immediate attention was demanded.
Yet, all this fuss and bother was nirvana to him. His tool case was extraordinary; everything he needed was at hand and their quality was impeccable. He had quickly set up a maintenance log for them to enter problems and requests. He thought ruefully of his dad's 'honey-do' pot that his mom had kept full and he realised he was recreating the same thing; but on a computer and on a distant planet (as they called the Moon)! Nevertheless, via his scheduling, things got done. Crises such as loss of air or leakage of water got immediate attention, often with many helping hands as their survival depended upon the air and water supply. But, Jean and the other three found that the life-critical alarms were few. Happily, as expected, he had his honey-do pot to fill his day and his own appreciation of their importance to prioritize each. He got things back to their nominal working condition and occasionally made improvements to accommodate unforeseen effects of the low gravity, no-atmosphere conditions on the Moon. Yes, Jean was more than content; he was thinking his life was fulfilled in this stark, new environment.
He finished crawling out from underneath the habitat. His flexible suit made this possible where the Apollo astronauts in their suits had barely been able to bend at the waist. He straightened and took a last, pleased look at his repair work; the rerouted cabling and the new nameplates. He'll update the drawings once he was back at his workstation in the habitat.
He thought, "Another great job by Jean the go-to-guy!".
He smiled, turned and began the short walk back to the airlock, only slightly looking forward to the simple, slow but lengthy process that took him from the 'great outdoors' back into the shirt-sleeve environment of the habitat module.

One of our most anticipated virtual reality games, and the first full-body virtual sport ("vSport"), known as Sparc finally has a release window and platform announcement. The upcoming title by CCP Games, and their first not set within the EVE Online universe, will release exclusively for PlayStation VR in Q3 2017 with other platforms to follow later.
Interestingly, CCP's first VR game - and the experience that got me personally invested into virtual reality - EVE: Valkyrie was a launch exclusive and pack-in for the Oculus Rift when it released the game was later available to launch alongside the PSVR as well as one of its best titles. CCP has made an effort to develop different experiences for different VR platforms, supporting all of the major headsets, frequently updating all of their games, an even crafting mobile VR experiences with EVE: Gunjack (the sequel of which was an exclusive for Google's Daydream).
Related: Sparc Proves vSports Are The Next Step in VR Gaming
Sparc is a skill-based, fast-paced, and physical sport only possible in virtual reality. We've played it and can attest to how uniquely engaging it is. In Sparc, players utilize their two PlayStation Move motion controllers to aim and throw projectiles at each other inside a sleek virtual arena, while defending themselves by dodging, blocking, or deflecting incoming attacks from a live opponent. Players can compete against their friends or find challengers via online matchmaking.
Players can watch Sparc matches in-person and queue up for the next match through "Courtside," a freeform social area that allows for spectating in VR. Sparcincludes multiple two-player game modes as well as a selection of single-player challenges and training modes, plus a wide range of visually striking customization and personalization options for competitors.
CCP Games is launching Sparc first on PS VR - the best-selling of the three major virtual reality headsets - and giving a great number of players the opportunity to experience its instantly compelling gameplay for themselves. Hilmar Pétursson, CEO of CCP Games:
"We have been exploring various aspects of VR over the past four years and pushed into new, exciting territories. Out of one of those explorations, we found this amazing, central nervous system-unlocking experience that really feels like a solid next step towards the next generation of virtual reality experiences. As our first release outside of the EVE universe, I'm really looking forward to seeing how people react to this level of innovation.".
Morgan Godat, executive producer at CCP Games' Atlanta studio:
"With Sparc, we've set out to deliver an original sport for the current generation of VR hardware. We want to create plasma-clad sporting champions in living rooms via the virtual court, where challengers will meet and compete with other players from around the world."

the Police
The Police just blew the roof off the Grammys. And that kind of blows my mind. Because there're a few things I thought I'd never see again; and the Police is one of them.
« January 2007 | Main | March 2007 »
The Police just blew the roof off the Grammys. And that kind of blows my mind. Because there're a few things I thought I'd never see again; and the Police is one of them.
My new/again favorite thing is doing round-trip translations of websites and news articles with Google Language Tools. And now there's a good (or at least organized) outlet for these efforts. Earlier today, Tim announced Quasi-Press, and I'm pleased as punch to be part of the editorial staff.
We've covered some big stories in our first day alone, from the tortured, sadly glamorous life of Anna Nicole, to the unintended consequences of vasectomies, to the dangers of messy cars.
There's a lot of news out there. And there are a lot of languages. But we have a job to do, and we're going to do everything we can to cover it all.
We know you can choose where you get your news. And every step of the way, we hope and expect to be worthy of your trust.
I've mentioned some elusive pix of my dad with his 1966 Charger that I've been hoping my parents would find soon. Well, they showed up in the mail yesterday.
I have to find this car.
Couple things:
Doesn't everything look better from 22000 miles up?
Actually....fuck it. I'm tired. I'll write more later.
I went karting today (with Tim, Bru and Billy) , which was fucking awesome. I'm weirdly bruised on my right shoulderblade from (I guess) the time I overcooked Turn 1 and slid full-tilt into the wall. Bru saw the whole thing from behind and says there was air under the car, and under me when it threw me up into the air.
And then he went racing past me, because I was, like, stopped.
But that's racing. Had a couple of clean races where Bru and I were at the head of the field and lapping people, and one frankly annoying race where I never saw the green fly after a caution period, and I lost about 5 positions because I thought I was following the rules. Won't let that happen again.
After a visit to Atwood's I'm grooving to a PJ Harvey record I thought I could never listen to again (stupid iTunes...), but finding it perfect and disconcerting all at once.
It was the soundtrack for the shit I went through in 2000 and 2001, but it always rocked. And now, of course, it still rocks because PJ Harvey doesn't know how to make any other kind of record. But it's newly and anciently relevant all at the same time, and that seems weird (becuase how can anything keep repeating itself like that?), and makes me want to hop back in the car, and drop the hammer.
While PJ comes along for the ride. There's no such thing as escape.

Piper Jaffray raised its price target on shares of Match Group after signs pointed to an unexpected acceleration in paid members last month for its dating app Tinder.
"Based on prior rank improvements and the nature of the top 10 grossing apps, this suggests a surprisingly strong net add of 340K in Q2," noted Piper Jaffray analyst Samuel Kemp.
Though Kemp noted that the new net addition numbers for Tinder are likely to beat Wall Street expectations for the second quarter, Match may also be positioned for more good news in the coming months.

My mother-in-law thinks that we should be celebrating my one year anniversary today since it's been one year since my tumor was removed (instead of discovered). Who am I to argue with that?! Any excuse for a party.
I said most of what I wanted to say about surviving a year after diagnosis in my last post, so to commemorate this alternative anniversary, I'll focus on some of the highlights of the week I spent at Stanford after learning about the 'beast' and my experience (though perhaps vague) with brain surgery. It's interesting what I remember when I look back a year later. The people who cared for me stand out the most – probably because they helped me feel strong, safe, and reassured that I was going to be fine. It never occurred to me during that week that I wasn't going to be fine, that something could have gone terribly wrong, that I could have died. But maybe it was just the drugs they pumped into me during my stay…who knows.
Coincidentally, today is Brain Tumor Thursday (as is every Thursday.) The social media community of brain tumor survivors, caregivers, and loved ones post information about brain tumors (benign or malignant), research, treatment, facts and personal experiences. We're trying to educate and raise awareness while offering support for each other. It's an uphill battle, though – we don't yet have major sponsorship or color campaigns even though brain tumors can often be more deadly and devastating to those who have them than other kinds of tumors/cancer (I'm not belittling the need for awareness and funding for other types of cancer, just observing the disparity in research, funding and awareness.) #BrainTumorThursday, #btsm
One year ago TODAY, I had a craniotomy. In a million years, I'd never have imagined that someone would drill holes in and take a saw to my skull to be able to remove a clump of unwelcome cells from my brain (~4 cm worth of cells, to be moderately precise.)
While the days between Oct. 7 and Oct. 10 of 2012 are a little foggy – thanks to postictal haze, drugs, and that unwelcome mass pushing from my left frontal lobe into my right frontal lobe, here's what I remember…
Hospital food – as a vegan, options are limited and are usually Indian oriented. I say 'oriented' because they claim this food was Indian, but it barely resembled the delicious food my Indian friends cook. This is where my weight loss began and even if I LOVED being in the hospital otherwise, the food would have motivated me to do what I needed to be released.
Nurse rotation – we had some amazing nurses taking care of us. I must have had my vital signs taken a thousand times during my stay at Stanford that week. Not to mention the blood draws, the MRIs, the CAT scans…and probably a few other things I don't remember. But the nurses were amazing – all of them, even though they had to wake me up every couple of hours to make sure I was still breathing, didn't have a fever, and that my blood pressure was still normally low. They also gave me some lovely drugs, so there was that bonus.
TV and Movies – during the down time while we waited for surgery, we watched a lot of TV and movies. As an example of my mental fog, I remember starting to watch Rango, but I don't remember actually watching it (though my husband tells me I was awake and alert). This is in no way a review of the movie, I promise.
IV lines – I had at least a dozen over that week for various reasons and they left bruises. The worst, however, was the arterial line placed just before my surgery by a resident anesthesiologist. It took a few attempts, hurt like a bitch, and left a bruise that lasted for weeks. They said my face would bruise badly, surprisingly it didn't…but that arterial line bruise more than made up for it.
Blood – If you aren't aware, your scalp will bleed profusely when cut. I had a 6 inch incision – from above my left ear to the top of my head – and my face was pulled back from my skull during surgery. Gross, but true. Well, turns out that bleeds a LOT. I came out of surgery with ~35 stitches and hair crusty with blood. I looked like a macabre medusa. I don't think anyone took a picture…sorry. I don't think anyone wanted to remember. One of those awesome nurses I mentioned helped to wash that blood out of my hair BEFORE my kids came to see me after I left the ICU. I am forever grateful to her for helping to spare my children from that image of their mom. Aside from my blood covered head, to give you an idea of the quantity of blood 'donated' during surgery, I was swabbing it out of my left ear for weeks after surgery.
Doctors, specialists, residents, medical students – Stanford is a teaching hospital, which means I was a learning opportunity. Rounds – morning, noon and evening – included a gaggle of people. You get used to repeating yourself and losing all sense of privacy – lying in a hospital bed in front of 5-10 people asking questions, looking at me as though I weren't really there. One of the residents who DID notice I was there and was incredibly kind was responsible for shaving little spots on my head to attach lifesaver like stickers that would help in the MRI guided surgery. He did way more, I'm sure, but that's what I remember him doing…coming in with a razor and ushering in my year of weird hair.
The Operating Room – Again – amazing nurses. The OR was FREEZING. Even with a sedative, the panic started to set in once I was wheeled into the OR. The nurse got me 2-3 more warm blankets (one benefit of hospitals is they keep blankets in a warmer) and sat close, holding my hand and talking in a calm, reassuring voice until I was sleeping, oblivious to the drills, saws and scalpels. Unlike so many neurosurgery patients, I didn't need to be awake for surgery (thank goodness.) 4ish hours later it was over and I was taken to the ICU to recover.
ICU – Coming to out of anesthesia can be an unpleasant experience if you've never done it. This time, however, wasn't so bad – probably because I was happily drugged up for the pain. I remember opening my eyes, and seeing a nurse at another patient's bed – she smiled at me and gave me a little wave. That was it. That smile and wave will forever be etched in my brain – I was alive and well. If I wasn't, she would have been in my face and certainly not smiling. She also bent the rules a little to allow my husband to stay with me and let me sleep for longer periods of time.
The next morning I was moved back to a regular room – I lucked out with private rooms my whole staycation at Stanford, which meant I had some level of privacy and quiet, allowing me to sleep better and recover faster. There were more tests, more doctors, residents, students and nurses. There was more bad hospital food, flowers from loved ones, short visits from family and close friends, and slow walks around the ward in my desperate attempt to prove I was well enough to get the hell out of there – which I did on Oct. 12.
But before we left, we were told that I had a stage 4 Glioblastoma Multiforme of the giant cell variety. The neurosurgeon said he felt confident he got it all, but there were no guarantees because it was not encapsulated. I would require radiation and chemotherapy and we met my Neuro-oncologist for the first time. We officially entered the world of brain cancer – but didn't fully get just how serious it was until our post-surgery appointment with the neurosurgeon when he told me this tumor would likely come back and would kill me – it was just a matter of when. Well, I'm not dead yet and I'm still fighting like mad.
Given all that could have gone wrong that week and after, I really was very lucky. I had no post-operative complications or infections. I didn't have any reactions to medication (until later). I didn't have any major physical disabilities occur because of the tumor or surgery. Most importantly, I had a strong advocate by my side at all times and an incredible team of nurses and doctors taking care of me.
That tumor has yet to return and with any luck, I won't have to repeat this experience ever again.
I think my mother-in-law is right – this alternative anniversary is also a day worth celebrating.

official website (fur.ca)
The Fur Institute of Canada remains to be an important information source in respect to what's happening to the fur trade today. They are the watchdogs on Canadian fur trade. They monitor what is happening domestically here in Canada and Internationally.
The big issue for 2010/2011 fiscal year is the European Seal Ban. Inuit groups along with non-native sealing groups have launched a court case against the European Government for their legislation which bans all seal skin pelts and seal skin bi-products from entering Europe. European Union consists of 27 European countries. The ban applies to all the 27 European countries. The European ban in 1982 applied to white-coat pelts only. The white coats are normally seal pups from the day; they are born to seven days. But the current ban applies to all seals and any bi-products of seals which include seal oil used as a vitamin called omega-3. The legal challenge at the general court of the European Union; seeking to overturn E.U. regulation 1007/2009, which bans the placing on the market of seal products in the E.U. and sets a precedent of "immorality" concerning the commercial use of wildlife products. The challenge consists of two separate applications from a collection of twenty Canadian and Internationally-based plaintiffs versus the European Parliament and Council, and the European Commission, respectively. F.I.C. jointly coordinates the cases along with Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami (Coordinating Canadian and Greenlandic Inuit Interests). The follow through of these initiatives has evoked measures reaction by the European Union, prompting temporary suspension of the ban's implementation in August 2010. Presently, members of the plaintiff group are awaiting a hearing on admissibility for the first application. The F.I.C. and Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami (I.T.K.) have undertaken funding efforts to fund the case which saw funds received by Inuit Organizations, Federal, Provincial and Territorial Governments, Trade Associations, European Hunting Federations and Fur Trade Interests.

1992 Buick Roadmaster Hearse Superior Front made like Impala SS with cowl hood I personally like it. Hood needs paint though. The car has a strong 5.7 350 that is throttle body injected. 45,000 miles on her. The car does need exhaust work depending on where you live. No converter on the car so wont pass e check without having one put on. The coach has great hear, cold ac, power windows, all glass is intact with no cracks, blue cloth interior in the front and I would say is a 8 out of 10. The rear still has all the casket rollers and pins and is in good shape. Fuel level sensor is not working correct, sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt. It does have a new fuel pump though. It has new weld style wheels with new tires, brakes work well. there is a vibration at about 30 mph from a dry universal joint but that is not a major deal. If you call around it is about $100 or so fix by a shop. The top is in almost perfect shape with the exception of one little spot that was hit by a rock on the highway. The curtains are not in good shape but they are there. The beacon light is a federal signal and works as it should. I just did a new alternator, battery and belt. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1992-Buick-Roadmaster/332544395183?hash=item4d6d30c7af:g:sFEAAOSwJj9aUYY j&vxp=mtr

Last Week!
Life on Mars ends Jan. 11.
Take a small Life on Mars web site survey and help us answer the big questions about direction for our future web-based projects.
Born: 1933, Brooklyn, New York
Died: 1988, New York City
Paul Thek began his career in the 1960s as a painter. During the following decade, he turned to sculpture and installation art, but painting remained a consistent part of his art making, He often used the contained format of pages appropriated from the daily newspaper as the background for witty, semiabstract, and oddly beautiful compositions. Works such as 2 Birds and Dinosaur (Unfinished), both from 1975, are poignantly beautiful with their simple gestures and brightly colored surfaces. Similarly, as an installation artist, he preferred to construct his intricate "processions" from quotidian materials, such as newspapers, crates, branches, sand, inexpensive cloth, and cast-wax objects. These visually lush environments created from ephemeral materials express a profound sensibility to the passage of time. Thek also left behind notebooks filled with his alternately lucid, poetic, and manic scribbling. Viewed together these writings compose a portrait of an individual whose conflicted views on religion, sexuality, and identity informed some of the most poignant, innovative, and heterogeneous artworks of our time, even as they posed an insurmountable burden to his very existence.

Contemporary Sculpture Exhibition Returns to Jardín Andaluz | BubbleAr
From time to time, most of us need a bit of a break from the hustle and noise of city life. When Buenos Aires gets to be a bit much, we find ourselves craving a bit of green space where we can finally breathe for a moment. Since leaving town every weekend isn't always a possibility, alternatives within the realms of the city limits need to be found.
A perfect place to hide out for an hour or two is the Museo de Arte Español Enrique Larreta and its Jardín Andaluz. Tucked away in a corner of Belgrano, few city inhabitants know the whereabouts of this hidden gem of a garden oasis.
Perfect for a quick escape and short stroll, the Andalusian style gardens are the ideal city respite. The attached museum was once home to Spanish art collector and ambassador Enrique Larreta. Full of a collection mainly consisting of renaissance, baroque, and medieval Spanish art, the lavishly decorated rooms are a little slice of southern Spain right here in Buenos Aires. Given the chaotic nature of the city, both spaces offer peace and quiet to soothe the mind and spirit.
For the first time in eight years, their contemporary sculpture exhibition, Celebración Esculturas en el Jardín XX has made a return to the newly restored garden. The first temporary exhibition to be held at the museum since the lengthy work that took place last year, it has been dedicated to Nelly Perazzo, the original creator and curator of the exhibitions from 1992 until 2010. The show features 32 works all created by Argentine sculptors, many of whom are nationally recognized.
Highlights include Córdoba-born sculptor Susana Lescano's 'Zigzag' piece. Inspired by freedom, the geometric sculpture bears a resemblance to Miro's iconic primary color scheme.
Hoping to establish a place where sculptors could freely exhibit their work, Perazzo wanted to create an accessible exhibition where the public could easily interact with contemporary art. Designed so that both famous and emerging sculptors could show their work, set against the stunning background of the Jardín Andaluz, it is contemporary art at its most user friendly. Don't we all feel a bit lost when faced with art from time to time? The simplicity and beauty of this exhibition is that it effortlessly blends into its surroundings, making it easy for visitors to absorb and enjoy.
The exhibition, on until May 13, came about after sculptor Pauline Webb met with fellow creator Maria Silvia Corcuera. The two both felt it important to bring the exhibition back to the Museo Larreta and its surrounding 500 square meter Jardín Andaluz. Current museum director Delfina Helghera said it had been one of the most anticipated exhibitions of the year, and had been like reinstating a long awaited classic back into the Museo Larreta.
The Museo de Arte Español Enrique Larreta and Jardín Andaluz are located at Juramento 2291 in Belgrano. Open from Tuesday-Friday from 12 PM until 7 PM, on Saturdays and Sundays the museum and gardens are open from 10 AM until 8 PM. The entrance fee is AR $30. Make sure to visit before the exhibition closes next month!

Beth at Style at a Certain Age had a wonderful post this weekend featuring Ten Key Pieces for Spring. Could I pass the test? Hardly, but it sure was fun.
white jean
A navy polo with white and yellow stripes on collar and cuffs.
This dress has khaki piping on gored seams, at the neck and armholes and above the hem. Neiman Marcus has a similar dress in palm printed silk with piping. It shows up on my sidebar at every site where there is advertising. This one in lined cotton was much more affordable and is washable.
I wish it had sleeves. He-Who-Mows said it was okay without sleeves. My upper arms are not that bad, but I hate bare arms. The vest is new, with wider lapels than I expected. It's a great piece but I wore a plain short white jacket over the dress on Sunday so I would have sleeves.
Plain tank in a geometric pattern. I have to wear a slip.
A basil color tee underneath works for me, so a half slip or petti.
Needs some bold jewelry.
New sandals! Cobb Hill Aubrey, in Pewter leather.
pattern blouse
Here's one I can look for. I haven't a summer blouse with stripes nor a print.
trench coat
My trench coat is a winter coat. I have lightweight jackets suitable for summer rain, no trench for a wrap in warm weather. Probably will not pursue this one.
Oh, wait. I do have a short khaki trench, waist length. Never wear it. Maybe I'll trot it out and try it with the dress below or the one with the khaki piping.
lightweight cardigan
I do have cardigans. This long cardigan is lightweight and the dress underneath is an A-line with lace bands. My new fav is a blush color cotton. I frequently wear a sweater to church because of the air conditioning, and shrugs over sleeveless dresses.
Skipping shorts. I shall not reveal my fat knees. It is never so hot that pants over the knee will not be almost as cool.
denim skirt
Yes! I have light gray and regular navy. These also cover my knees.
I bought a new pair when I forgot to take my orthopedic shades on my last Opthalmologist visit and walked out into bright sunlight with dilated pupils.
New prescription sunglasses are in my future plans.
fancy tees
Breton stripes are as fancy as I'll be. I don't do graphics.
White jeans again with a striped tee.
Beth reminded us about ballet flats and loafers, besides thongs and sandals. I always think I need to buy more while some are going unworn like the bone loafers above with the striped tee and white jeans.
This was a fun exercise.

Pickford's "Web" Morrison fondly remembered – Sault Ste. Marie, MISault Ste. Marie, Mich. —Webster "Web" Morrison's footprint is all over Pickford. Whether it was his years as teacher, principal and superintendent, his tireless work in getting the Munuscong Golf Course built, his service as a Navy pilot in World War II, or his continued presence at nearly every Pickford athletic event, rarely a day went by when something in Pickford didn't have Morrison involved in some way.But what most will remember are the track and field championships — a ton of them. Morrison, who led the Panthers to 25 consecutive U.P. track championships, died Monday. He was 89."In all the years I've been around, he's the best track coach I've ever seen," said Pickford athletic director Chuck Bennin, a 1966 Pickford graduate who ran track for Morrison — just as most Pickford boys did. "He had a heart of gold for kids. He's going to be sadly missed."The list of accomplishments is hard to fathom: The 25 straight championships 1952-76 is still second nationally for consecutive championships to powerhouse Honolulu Punahou's 29 straight boys swimming titles 1958-86. He coached the cross country teams to eight U.P. titles, he was 46-10-1 in eight years as football coach, 74-29 in nine years as baseball coach, and 134-84 with three district titles in 12 seasons as basketball coach. Morrison was inducted into the U.P. Sports Hall of Fame in 1973 and the Michigan Interscholastic Track Coaches Hall of Fame in 1993. He was a three-time state track coach of the year.

We made it into Green Bay safely late last evening. Weather was not an issue in travel – only some flurries greeted us just after we crossed the Wisconsin line. Even the Chicago traffic moved quite well. And I only took two wrong turns costing us twenty minutes at most. Not bad for a distracted father of five!
Today was spent hangin' with "Fwampa" (Nolan-speak for Grandpa), eating, watching movies, going to the local library, etc. Tonight the kiddos are hot tubbin' it in the sun room while the family watches the Bay Port High School Basketball team compete in Madison for the State Championship (Fwampa was the principal at Bay Port High from 1988-2001).
Tomorrow Andrea and I begin the Laugh Your Way training at Celebration Church here in Green Bay. I've been cramming for the sessions today while the kids were at the library and the babies slept. It all begins tomorrow at 8 a.m.

Singing sensation Amelia Bennetts is hoping to wow the crowds at the Gazette's Young Performer Awards.
The 11-year-old with a powerful voice has already amazed judges in national competitions - including Teen Star and The Voice Kids, but has fallen just short of taking home the overall titles.
Now Amelia from South Shields, will be stepping into the limelight again after being nominated for a Young Performer Award as part of this year's Best of South Tyneside Awards.
Sponsored by Port of Tyne, the annual accolade is awarded to outstanding performers in the borough each year and has been won by stars including Joe McElderry and Jade Thirlwall.
Amelia, who goes to the Anna Leigh Vocal Studios in North Shields and All Star Productions at the Customs House, was put forward for the accolade by proud mum Dora Saleh, 60.
She hopes taking part in the event will help her daughter's confidence to grow.
She said: "Amelia loves singing ballads from artists such as Whitney Houston and Eva Cassidy.
"She goes to the Anna Leigh Vocal Studios and has also won the further achievement award in the Teen Star, and was invited to London to record.
"We go down to the studios in London once a month so she can record covers and work on her own material with ChartHouse Music.
"They help her to develop her own style. She just loves singing. She is a little girl with a big voice."
Amelia has been going to both schools for a number of years where she both acts and sings.
She also has her own Facebook page called 'Amelia Music' where she posts videos of her performances.
The youngster, who is due to start Mortimer Comprehensive next month, has previously made it through the early stages of competitions including The Voice Kids and Britain's Got Talent, but was knocked out before the TV rounds.
But mum Dora said such auditions to help build up her confidence as a solo artist.
Dora added: "She has been singing since she was just seven years old.
"She was singing around the house and I put a video of her on Facebook and everyone was saying, 'wow she can really sing.'
"People can't believe such a little girl can have a voice like that.
"The award would be really good to help build up her confidence and it would be great for her to perform in he home town."
Sponsoring the overall Best of South Tyneside Awards this year is electronics giant Siemens as the headline sponsor, along with a host of category sponsors including, Harlow Print, Northumbrian Water, South Shields Football Club and the Customs House.
We are asking for nominations to be submitted by Friday, September 1.

Director - Deepa Mehta
Actor - John Abraham, Seema Biswas, Lisa Ray, Sarala
Date of Release - 9th March 2007
More than an year after it was release in US/Canada and after being nominated in the best foreign film category in the Oscars(Representing Canada, and not India) Water finally saw the light of the day in India.
The story based in India about the plight of widows in the late 1930's also highlights the transition of Gandhiism which was going on at that time in terms of fighting the older rituals. The story talks about the plight of a young widow "Chuhia" played excellently by Sarala when she enters a ashram (meant for widows) and how things change after that.
In a sense this movie questions some of the old Hindu Rituals regarding widows, and probably the reason, why the shooting for the same was stopped in Varanasi a few years back. But in simple words this is beautiful cinema. The simplicity and the Indianess with which the whole topic is dealt is beautiful. In addition the highlight of the movie is the Sri Lankan child artists Sarla who plays the role of Chuhia in the movie. The way the role has been enacted is one of the best I have seen in the lifetime. Seema Biswas has also given a strong performance well supported by John Abraham who falls in love with Lisa Ray (another widow).
A.R. Rahman's haunting music is top class as usual, and the rain song (aaya re..)is actually very well picturised. The cinematography is good and so is the direction and editing.
The only weak point in the movie is it's pace and the lack of entertainment value. Obviously one couldn't expect this movie to be on the lines of Lage Raho Munnabhai , but still a bit of fast paced movie definitely would have been liked by the audience.
All in all a movie very well made, and definitely worth the wait for us in India.
Rating 3.5/5
