Hello together,
i made a sound reactive chain of WS2812 lights with table tennis balls and i control it with a sound sensor and an arduino. This is a easy project which beginners can do.
Step 1: Circuit
I connected the WS2812 LEDs like in the picture. Dont forget that you cant supply too much LEDs with the arduino. Use a separate power supply therefore. I used a 470 Ohm resistor in series for the data line, and a 1000uF capacitor (at least 5V) in parallel with the supply.
I got the sound sensor here:
But you can also get it anywhere else. You also can get the WS2811 LEDs and the other stuff at many shops.
Step 2: Programming
To control the LEDs you need the Adafruit library which you can get here:
Because the sound sensor only gave me a high or a low level signal, I take 100 analogValues from this sensor and count how often they are high. Through this relation I can control how many LEDs shall be turned on.

Charles Martel's Top 1000: Part 36
posted June 25, 2014, 12:30 am by CharlesMartel | Filed Under Recommendations from the Writer's Mind, Video | Leave a Comment
A lot of the tracks contained in this list were only ever released as singles. The single still has a significance and an importance which made many tracks issued as singles works of art in their own right. That there were undoubtedly singles bands, and even singles labels (such as Motown) is beyond question. Most classic singles were three minutes long or less, and provided the artist with a framework in which to encapsulate all that needed to be said about their music and the song. Although a single is often associated with transient, throwaway pop, some of those songs have managed to have lasting appeal. There are also a number of tracks which were released as singles which were a surprise in their own right, tracks the record companies thought were too long or would not sell in that format. But the record companies were proven wrong for it is well established that the average record company A&R man knows next to nothing about what would sell if it did not fit into a preconceived idea of what would make money, which was all they were ever interested in anyway.
On the home stretch now as we pass into the 200's.
Charles Martel's 300-281
300. Redding, Otis – "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay" (The Dock of the Bay)
Otis Redding sings a masterful piece about loneliness as he muses on the home he left behind to come to the city to find work and the bleak prospects he encountered once he got there. A genuine soul classic.
299. Simon & Garfunkel – "Bridge over Troubled Water" (Bridge over Troubled Water)
The duo's most famous number and one of the biggest-selling songs of all time, it was a Paul Simon compilation which was sung, reluctantly, it is alleged, by Art Garfunkel. Simon's later regret over this, and similar episodes, created tensions which eventually broke the duo apart.
298. Red Noise – "Furniture Music" (Sound on Sound)
When Bill Nelson left Be-Bop Deluxe he formed Red Noise (often called Bill Nelson's Red Noise). This great new-wave synth pop crossover track was one of those one-offs which it is always a gem to come across
297. Whipping Boy – "We Don't Need Nobody Else" (Heartworm)
A drawling, sometimes oppressive number which builds up during the verses to an immense refrain. It deals with the intensity of a relationship which, during the spoken part, spills over into frustrated domestic violence.
296. The Small Faces – "Itchycoo Park" (7" Single)
Ronnie Lane wrote this drawing inspiration from a visit to Oxford. The BBC banned it originally for its apparent drug references and only lifted the ban when the band persuaded them that it referred to a small green area – Little Ilford Park in East London – where the band had played as kids.
295. Hooker, John Lee – "Boogie Chillun" (10" Single)
With a distinctive riff which has been called "the riff that launched a thousand songs", this highly-influential blues number was the first release by John Lee Hooker under his own name. Hooker credited the inspiration for it to his stepfather.
294. Puckett, Gary & the Union Gap – "Young Girl" (Young Girl)
A man lives up to his responsibilities on discovering that the girl he loves is an underage child. Not, as many commentators would have you believe, a song glorifying paedophilia. In the late-seventies, this was voted by BBC Radio 1 listeners as the greatest single of all time.
293. The Stranglers – "Peaches" (Rattus Norvegicus)
A stark organ sound and Burnel's characteristically harsh bass underpin this song about, well to be frank, it is about lying on a beach in the summer and looking at the peaches (tits) of the topless girls sunbathing.
292. Brown, James – "I Got You (I Feel Good)" (I Got You (I Feel Good))
Probably James Brown's most well-loved song, it is a simple number based around a twelve-bar blues format and a raucous horn section dominated by Maceo Parker's alto sax. The theme is how good love makes you feel.
291. Carnes, Kim – "Bette Davies Eyes" (Mistaken Identity)
Originally recorded by Jackie DeShannon it only became a hit when redone by Kim Carnes, whose husky voice added another dimension. Carnes version contains the line "make a pro blush" apparently unfamiliar with the local mid-west colloquialism DeShannon knew as "make a crow blush"
290. Mazzy Star – "Fade into You" (So Tonight that I Might See)
Hope Sandoval seems barely able to get out the words of this lyric, but the whole song is a highlight of any collection of dream pop numbers. It is wistful and ethereal in its delivery and is ideal chillout music.
289. Siouxsie & the Banshees – "Hong Kong Garden" (The Scream)
An oriental sounding guitar hook and a powerful rhythm are the distinctive hallmarks of this, the first single released by Siouxsie and the Banshees. The song moves across stereotypical views of the Chinese until it reaches the most stereotypical of all – the Chinese takeaway.
288. The Who – "Substitute" (Meaty, Beaty, Big and Bouncy)
One of the great early mod songs of the Who, the original version contained the line "I look all white but my Dad was black" which was deleted when released in the US market because it was felt such an overt reference to interracial marriage would not go down well there. For shame!!!!
287. The Sex Pistols – "Pretty Vacant" (Never Mind the Bollocks)
The Sex Pistols set off with a distinctive opening guitar sequence before blasting into the song proper. Johnny Rotten still sneers the lyric. The BBC bent over backwards to give this airtime having banned its predecessor, "God Save the Queen", and rigged the singles charts to stop it from showing as Number One.
286. The Rolling Stones – "Satisfaction" (Out of Our Heads)
Probably the Rolling Stones best known number, it was another song which, initially, walked into a BBC ban because of sexually suggestive lyrics. Although sexual frustration forms part of the theme, the real theme is dissatisfaction with material culture. The song is often regarded as the greatest rock song ever and has been covered by countless bands.
285. Holiday, Billie – "Strange Fruit" (10" Single)
Billie Holiday was one brave woman to sing this in jazz clubs and issue it as a record in 1939. For those who don't know, the strange fruit of the title are the corpses of black men who have been lynched
284. Waters, Muddy – "Rolling Stone" (10" Single)
When McKinley Morganfield was brought to Chicago he adapted the style of music he had learned watching Robert Johnson and others to the new-fangled electric guitars, thereby completing the link between the acoustic delta blues and the urban R&B inspired white groups of the late fifties and early sixties. "Rolling Stone" was the first such song to be released and is pure delta blues played on an electric guitar – nothing else.
283. The Damned – "New Rose" (Damned Damned Damned)
The first ever punk single begins with Dave Vanian uttering those immortal words – "Is she really going out with him?" before the song blasts into two and a half minutes of raucous three-chord thrashing.
282. Brand New – "Sowing Season" (The Devil and God Are Raging inside of Me)
Brand New take on a tricky subject in the influence of religion on young people. This is the first of a number of great tracks on this album which highlight the conflicting pressures brought about by the pervasive and destructive influence evangelical religious belief has on so many American kids.
281. McTell, Ralph – "Streets of London" (Spiral Staircase)
Ralph McTell perfectly describes the pitiable side of London and how, even in a city of seven million people, there can be lonely and forgotten souls. This is one of those songs which always makes me feel sad, despite its obvious quality.

Raindrops keep falling on my head
The "Yoreh" or first rain is something which logically enough I wasn't aware of in England. Here it has a special meaning - being outside in it is a pleasure rather than something to moan about. We probably won't feel it again until October time - one of the pleasures of living in a hot country rather than the one I left behind. Then we'll have the annual past time of watching the kinneret rise and the countryside turning green again.

The first rain excited me too, strange though as in Manchester we had enough rain to set me up for life.
As I stood in my friends garden in Elazar on Sunday morning and felt the tiny raindrops, I looked forward to all the things this time of year brings, although if the weather is anything like the weather we had in February, I'll be pining for the summer once again!

Last week I had the pleasure of trying out the Grosvenor Casino St. Giles experience. It included some cheeky cocktails, dinner and the chance to play roulette and blackjack. My fellow blogger friends and I had a lovely time trying out the game without the pressure of playing with our own money. If you go there to play you can order drinks at the bar and enjoy some lovely snacks while you are at it.
This was my second time in a casino and the Grosvenor Casino St Giles is definitely an all-action gaming experience! Did I mention that it's open 24 hours a day? Amazing, right?! The bar is also open until 4 am, making it a fantastic place for a chilled night out.
Grosvenor Casinos have an extensive food and drink menu! There are some very tasty choices and also great salad options, meaning that there's something to satisfy everyone!

-Range of Dining Options
-Great Drinks Menu including Cocktails

There are various Grosvenor Casinos across London! The newly refurbished St Giles, located on Tottenham Court Road is the main location (this is the one we visited), it has lots of electronic machines and the decor is very inviting.
Other Grosvenor Casinos London branches are located at The Golden Horseshoe, The Barracuda, The Gloucester, Russell Square, Picadilly and The Victoria!
Throughout the evening, the staff was extremely friendly and approachable. They were all very outgoing and were happy help us regarding anything. My favorite part of the experience was definitely trying out the roulette table. It was a shame it was only a pretend game as I was winning!
Note: whilst you can dress up, you can also visit the casino in smart/casual wear as it is a very relaxed atmosphere. We dressed up a little as we wanted to take some lush pictures for the blog post but for my next visit, I will dress down for sure!

Dear Editor:
I have resigned from the Paonia Town Council in protest. I have lost all respect for the majority of the board. They have closed ranks against me for my efforts to confront overt bullying in executive session and our leadership's lack of respect for the Sunshine Laws that citizens depend on for honest government.
It is clear the board's majority was about to use a little known law that allows them to remove an elected official (me) from office by majority vote. They voted to have the town attorney conduct another expensive review of my actions, even though he has already stated I broke no law. The bill for this new witch hunt could easily be between $5,000 and $10,000. (Last month the town's attorney expenses totaled more than $19,000.) A very real part of my decision to resign is to save the taxpayers the useless expense of an investigation when my removal would clearly be a political act.
The investigation is pure theatrics. I am a whistle blower, and they are obsessed with secrecy. The underlying cause of the move to "impeach" me is that I have openly named Mr. Stewart as a participant in meetings with other trustees that should have been publicly noticed and open to the rest of the board. I have stated my opinion that he has acted beyond his ofice by improper participation in an employee complaint. Yet Stewart refused to let a less involved member of the board chair the portion of the meeting which affirmed his attempts to smear me and refused to include a concurrent investigation of my charges against the mayor and other trustees. Even now policies are being formulated that will hamstring a trustee's ability to ask questions or exercise meaningful oversight of town business that the mayor does not want them to see. I can no longer appear to sanction the actions of this board with my presence at the table.

Or so I thought.
As soon as we got there I was sent out to drive through the rain heralding the arrival of Hurricane Irene and pick up the cake. No worries, it was just up the street at the store. But there was a small list that went along with it.
- Cake
- Pepsi
- Ginger Ale
- Cheese-Its
"Did you get the message?"
"What message?"
"We forgot to put something on the list. We need ice cream."
"Right. Okay... I'll be right back."
Back out in the rain I went. Back to the store, through the same checkout line I used before, and back to the house with the ice cream.
"Did you get the message?"
"What message?"
"Handsome is hungry. We wanted you to pick something up at McDonald's for him tp eat before people got here."
I checked my phone. No voicemail, no missed call. No nothing.
"Um... no, I didn't get the message."
I took Handsome's order and went back out into the rain. Through the drive-through. I would have pressed one for English, but, sadly, it was not offered me. Got my order in, paid and picked it up, drove back to the house.
As I climbed the stairs to the living room where everyone was waiting I heard my father-in-law say "Did he get the message about the chilli?"
I sighed so loudly they all heard me and laughed. It was a joke, and I was happy. Wet, but happy. I had about 30 minutes before anyone was due to arrive, so I went to dry off.
And take a nap. So much for relaxing until people showed up. I was exhausted!
The rest of the party went off without a hitch.
Talk to you later!

The Impossible NHL Logo Quiz
Many of you have probably seen the "Hardest NHL logo quiz" going around. While it is somewhat difficult for some teams overall it's not too hard as evident by a majority of people I've seen take it getting scores in the 20's. So I got to photoshopping the NHL logos making minor changes to truly make the hardest NHL logo quiz. So hard I decided to call it impossible. While it may not look like it there is at least one difference in every logo. If there's a problem with the quiz feel free to message me on twitter @n2balex

As your family grows the need for additional space may lead you to thoughts of a loft conversion. If you build up or out the additional living area will outweigh the effort needed to acquire it.
All projects need a plan, this project demands one
1. Home market values in the neighbourhood:
-Determine the size of conversion and market value prior to actually breaking ground.
-Find out the market value of homes in the local area with similar size and features.
-Calculate the difference between their current and improved home market value.
-The difference should represent the maximum budget for the addition.
2. Financing:
-If current mortgage rates are higher than the existing mortgage use a home equity loan.
-If current mortgage rates are lower than the existing mortgage, refinancing your home and cost of the loft conversion project.
3. Size and scale of the project:
-The loft conversion should be of size and scale so it fits in with the original house.
-When you add living space the addition should have a good outside appearance.
-To maintain its exterior aesthetics consider siding, doors, windows, roof lines, and elevations.
-Know how much space will be used.
4. Personal disruption/inconvenience threshold:
-A loft conversion can very disruptive and chaotic.
-It is a dusty, dirty and noisy endeavor.
-Working with subcontractors can be challenging and will need your time during the day, at work or not.
5. Your sweat equity commitment level:
-Honestly assess your skills, available time, and project schedule.
-Tasks that require specific skill, time, and brawn range from ground work to drywall.
-Electric and plumbing will need permit and inspection.
-Consider doing inside finish work with know-how and available time.
-Do what you can, hire out the rest.
Hiring a Contractor For Your Room Addition:
Know what you want before you pick up the phone.
-List every detail of what you want to be done.
-Know your budget and stick to it.
Get recommendations.
-Friends/family, City Inspector, BBB.
Do phone interviews.
-Get references and previous clients in your area.
Meet in person to discuss details.
Follow-up on Contractor provided information.
Get bids.
Put it in writing.
-Payment schedule;
-10% at contract signing, three payments of 25 percent, 15 percent when completed.
-Proof of liability insurance and worker's compensation payments;
-Start and projected completion date;
-Lien release from all subcontractors and suppliers.
Home Technology To Incorporate in you Room Addition
This is an opportunity to begin behind the walls, not to retro fit. Think out your needs ahead of time.
Energy saving equipment
Home control systems
In and outdoor light control
Home theatre system
Temperature systems
Phones & intercoms Before Starting Your Room Addition
In and outdoor security system
Indoor room monitoring
The more you plan ahead for your home remodelling or home addition project the easier it will be to DIY or hire a loft conversion contractor. I helped the general contractor for our new house and it was a challenge but well worth the effort.

Alas, another year has come & gone. It really puts things in perspective on how fast time flies when I find snacks that I swore I bought a couple of weeks ago and they are dated October 4, 2016! I guess I didn't want them as bad as I thought I did at the time or they would have all been gone-ah, hindsight!
Hindsight – (noun) Understanding of a situation or event only after it has happened or developed.
How many things can you look back on that happened in 2016 (or prior) and have a little more understanding now? I can think of lots of things. My overactive brain is always in "go" mode & in hindsight I should write them down when they pop in my head, lest I forget (and have) most of them.
I kind of, sort of, (snicker/snort) like to run and enjoy competition with myself. Race wise I ran two marathons, six half marathons, two 10ks, six 5ks, one 4 miler, and 10, 15, & 20 mile technical trail runs. I kind of like bling too (e.g. medals). Total running miles for the year = 1,375. That is probably not a lot of miles for some runners. In hindsight, that it is the equivalent of running from my little town in Missouri to Las Vegas, give or take a couple of miles (1,377.4 miles or a 19 hour drive). That seems like a lot for me, although my total was a bit more in 2014, less in 2015. There is always room for improvement and growth.
I try to change things up so as not to get too bored. One way in which I sought to do this was through technical trail runs. I have ran four total and I love being out in nature among the quiet and serene. I have fallen three out of the four. I'm just a clumsy butt. The last one on 11/12/16, a 25k, was a beautiful course. I had run the 10k of this race in2015 (my first), so I decided it was time to up the ante. I had run a marathon two weeks prior, so I thought 15 miles would be a breeze. Well, it's trails so…lots of autumn leaves and rocks/roots under those leaves. I fall down go boom boom on my left side at mile 11-hard. I finished strong, but was oh so glad to be done!
In hindsight, I should not have ran that race, or I should have at least taken sufficient time to heal, but I really had no pain when I was running. I went on to run a 1/2 marathon a week later and a 5k four days after that, again with no problems, or so I thought. I tried to run with the group the following Sunday and my left knee started giving me pain. I rested a couple days and took short run/walks the rest of the week. On 12/4/16, I was feeling pretty good, so decided to run four miles. The first mile was great-no pain! Mile two was a little sketchy and in hindsight, I should have quit and called for a ride. I am MUCH to stubborn and gave it all I had to get back to my house. That was truly my last official "run" for the year. My knee was trashed. I managed an 8:38 pace, so there's that, ha, ha!
Having one last 5k for the year-my 20th "race" for the year, I was determined I was not going to miss it. It would be my husband's first 5k and I was not going to let him down. I thought I would just run very conservatively, maybe around a 10-11 minute/mile pace. Who the heck was I trying to kid? Well myself of course! In hindsight I was delusional! I tried to jog (in very bad shoes)! This was after I got my "boogie" on at a pre-race costume/dance competition. Approaching the first mile, I was wishing I had just signed up for the one miler! I limped/walked for the next 2.1 miles.
View from the rear: I am not the fastest runner, nor the slowest. I am more of a "mid-packer." My very first 5k as a runner back in 2007, was a walk/run dare. My time was around 48 minutes. My PR in the 5k is 0:23:11 9/6/15. This jog/limp was around 48 minutes. But oh, the sights I saw! I saw grit and determination from those who are always bringing up the rear. I saw walkers and families with strollers and dogs having a great time run/walking all lit up in costume and lights. People came out of their homes to watch and say, "Merry Christmas." I was able to thank the volunteers and the police officers. I tortured people with my singing "Grandma Got Ran Over By a Reindeer." I shouted to the runner in the "A Christmas Story" bunny suit, "Speed up you Wascally Wabbit." My son and daughter in law passed me. They were the cutest. It was a beautiful December night.
In hindsight, I gained a whole new perspective. Way too much emphasis is placed on "speed." That is fine if one is trying to qualify for an event, but we are all different. At my peak, running too slow is uncomfortable. My best times have come when I wasn't even trying. The people I saw from the rear had this figured out-have fun, take it all in, and enjoy the journey. Despite the pain, I still got my bling!
Lessons Learned:
Heed the warnings of your body. What may have been an little issue in the past, could be disaster in the future. I ended up having a lateral meniscus injury that threw me into IT band problems by my leg trying to protect my knee. I am on the mend and have a wonderful chiropractor to thank for that. I should be able to do my first race at the end of the month.
Trail races are great for the non-clumsy, although even the swift and nimble have been known to fall a time or two as well.
After care in running is hugely important, especially as we age. If we want things to function well, we best take care of what we have.
Old dogs have joint issues as well and need lots of hugs and cuddles.
Life and running does not always have to be FAST. In hindsight, the caboose who thinks he/she can, eventually will -with determination and effort.
Temporary set backs are just that-temporary (remember the expired snacks)? Although when you're going through it, it seems like forever which brings me to my next point.
It really is all about perspective and attitude.
Goals are important but none are as important as your health. My main goal as a runner this year:
In hindsight, what are your goals for the new year and beyond?
"There's not a better feeling than when you have found that moment of balance and harmony when both running & life come together. Then you know why you run and that you couldn't live without it."-Joan Benoit Samuelson
Have a great January and beyond. Cheers to the New Year!

Sale of Courtyard Fort Lauderdale Beach Led by The Plasencia Group
May 31, 2017 12:03pm
Tampa, Fla. (May 31, 2017) – The Plasencia Group is pleased to announce the sale of the Courtyard Fort Lauderdale Beach hotel, located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The firm represented Fillmore Capital Partners in the sale of the 13-story, 261-guestroom hotel to Summit Hotel Properties, a publicly traded real estate investment trust.
The Courtyard was offered with an adjacent 0.83-acre surface parking lot, providing the opportunity for future development in one of the nation's premier leisure destinations.
The Plasencia Group team was led by Senior Vice Presidents Robert Wiemer and Dennis Reed and Vice President Chris Plasencia.
"The Courtyard is a strong performer in excellent condition, located in the midst of an international tourist destination," commented Wiemer. "The destination amenities and the hotel's beachfront location generated robust interest from the real estate investment community."
Plasencia added, "As one of the only nationally- branded select service hotels offering direct access to Fort Lauderdale Beach and the Atlantic Ocean, the Courtyard should continue to capitalize on its highly efficient operation and the market's strong demand generators."
The Plasencia Group, headquartered in Tampa, Florida, has completed engagements for owners of nearly one hundred hotel and resort assets in Florida alone, and eighty Marriott-branded hotels nationally.

just do the things
The last couple years of my life I traveled a lot for my previous employer. I started small and left Pennsylvania for Maryland (these states touch each other). I suddenly ended up in Washington state next, then Arizona, then Massachusetts (none of these states touch each other).
I let shit happen. I didn't fight it with excuses like I used to. One of my closest friends and his fiance told me I'm adventurous. I don't think of myself that way. I just want to see the world. Even if I start out seeing everything in the US, and eventually make my way on the international spectrum, I'm doing the thing I want to do. Write. Travel. And take some pictures. And all three things get better the more I practice.
Since I have been posting more frequently on here, and more of my canon work on instagram instead of the pictures I've taken with my phone, there's been a small – but totally excited about it! – spike of people following and excited for me and it's great. But also some private messages asking – how do you just go out there and do it? Especially since I'm still holding down a full time job. (Not always a financial perspective to the question, either.)
Here are some answers to that:
- I started out with close proximity stuff. Where I'm from in PA is quite in the middle of NYC and Philadelphia. I hop on a bus with a round trip ticket that costs ~$40 and spend the day in NYC. Also, local trails, museums, abandoned factories, etc.
- I reached out about going to new locations at work, and some offers came. I know that not everyone may have this option, but I did and put myself out there to be seen instead of hoping one day someone would read my mind. (And, on a financial note, if you're moving for work, you can claim it in your taxes the next year if you do not receive a relocation package, but it also doesn't hurt to ask your employer to provide some assistance.)
- I stopped going to the closest/more convenient movie theater. I would find one two hours away and while driving there, if I came across something (I usually did), I'd stop and explore. Be it old train stations, hiking trails, parks at a river I had never been to, I'd give it my attention. (The movie will be available through online streaming some day.)
- My extra income goes in a different direction now. I had a serious problem with credit cards at the age of 18 and I spent a lot of time slaving to pay them off. While still trying to buy stuff, and have all of these things, and then there's more stuff. The stuff didn't make me happy. The things that make me super happy that I have purchased: books, camera/camera lens/camera equipment/gopro, plane tickets. That's it. AND THIS TOOK A LONG TIME, BUT: I slowly, slower than a sloth slowly, paid off the credit cards and stopped buying shit just because it was there. Moving as much as I did and realizing how irritating it was to move all of these things I don't use/never use/had no reason to own, put a quick end to purchasing crap. And I got rid of a lot of stuff through donating, tossing appropriately, and giving things away to friends willy nilly. As I paid off my credit cards/student loans/insert financial responsibilities here, my income started to sit there. And I would pay for experiences. For the last couple of years, I shell out the ~$80 for the annual National Parks Pass. There are National Parks in all 50 states, but some wildlife refuges, lighthouses, preserved beaches, etc. etc. will honor the National Park Pass, and you won't have to worry as much about entrance fees. Arizona example: The Grand Canyon is $30 per car to enter. (Differs for RV's and other larger/camping vehicles.) Montezuma's Castle was $20 per car (more than halfway there on the annual fee….). Casa Grande was a similar type of entry, and with the exception of the Grand Canyon being a hell of a drive away, a lot of the places I went to were 20 minutes to an hour and change of driving away from my apartment. I take the pass with me everywhere.
- The more you travel around and become more comfortable with it (whether as a group, couple, or individual), you meet more people and make more friends, and friends want to help you keep going. I have friends, from work, from traveling, from school, who are so elated to see that I'm doing the best I can to do the thing that I love, they are always an available option to crash on their couch/in a spare room (for free). While I'm certain my friends aren't going to offer to pay for my plane tickets, it takes the pressure off a bit of plane ticket money plus lodging money.
- I cleaned up who I follow on social media. I got rid of a lot of people I don't look up to, and I started heavily following people who inspire the shit out of me. Solo full time travelers, international charities having events coming up and they're looking for volunteers to help, etc. The solo travelers I follow have blogs and document where they're going, but they also share their tips to keep it cheap. I'm currently in Reno, NV, and I packed clothes I needed and know I'll wear into a tiny carry-on, have my backpack of camera stuff, and I'm feeling proud not having to pay to check my bag. (This, too, took more than just a bit of practice.)
- I have met solo full time travelers who aren't on social media, who don't have blogs/websites, but still make a go of it. I ask them how they do it, too. This is a more vagabonding lifestyle. Instead of being paid to write travel articles, paid for pictures, etc. They'll live in a certain place for a year and pick up a job teaching English, or help seasonally on farms, etc. They use their money to travel somewhere else again, budget it out for X amount of time, rinse and repeat.
Everyone will end up doing something different. But the starting ground for everyone is a little wobbly until you get going. This transition I'm in to get to that point is still not 100% off the ground yet. I don't get paid for my time on my personal site talking about this stuff (yet). I don't get paid for my time/my pictures (yet). What's important is that I'm trying, and I feel great trying, because I'm out there doing and experiencing and meeting new people. And there's the chance I won't ever make a financial living out of this the way I'd like to; this is something I have already accepted. What I am no longer willing to accept, and haven't for a while, is hiding behind excuses or 'valid reasons' why I really just shouldn't go.
If anyone reading this is married/has children – much bigger family commitments than I do with my two adorable cats – I've met traveling families. They've had similar starts of it being a bumpy ride, but eventually fell into work that was "from home" that enabled them to travel. It requires a little more connectivity to the internet, but there are plenty of schools that offer online education from K – 12. And their education can be a little more tailored to children's interests, too. It's not for everyone, sure. But sometimes knowing that there are options to give a try has you click out of this post and search through some possibilities.
I hope it was helpful to read this. Feel free to comment with your own experiences/tips. I'd love to hear them.

We recently stayed at the Magnascape Apartments (409 Kylemore) in the V&A Waterfront, and boy did we feel like rockstars over our stay! The views are world class, a mini-Monaco experience if you will, with an incredible array of Cape Town talent to visit, right on your doorstep. (All about that coming in part 2)
My best part to be honest, was staying in (on these gorgeous & comfy couches), watching movies and eating Lindt from the nearby Lindt Store. After a busy day touring Cape Town, it was such a relaxing retreat to come back to.
The K Square Team who manage the apartments went the extra mile by kitting it out with snacks, bubbly and good night messages!
Loved all their waterwise tips!
Yay for Nespresso – Good coffee always makes the difference 🙂 – Plus the kitchen is equipped with everything you need to stay in and go gourmet!
Morning view from bed.
Walking along the Marina gives you easy access to both the Silo district and V&A Waterfront, Watershed, Aquarium etc
Here, looking back at the apartments. Stop by The One & Only Hotel for a drink.
Off to do a little shopping around the V&A (In my new Desray Sale jersey) – Watch out for Part 2 on what we got up to!
For more info on the Magnascape Apartments see here:

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Be compassionate and responsible this holiday and steer clear of giving live animals such as rabbits, bunnies or chicks as gifts. Too often people are tempted to act on impulse because they're cute and cuddly. But it's very important to remember that these animals require very special care. Sadly, too many end up in shelters after the holiday is over.
Instead, give a gift certificate to a nearby shelter or rescue and instruct the child on caregiving for the animal first, then plan a special day to choose a homeless animal to welcome into your family together.
Also, many farms, rescues and shelters such as Defenders of Wildlife and Farm Sanctuary, among others, provide a very unique opportunity to sponsor an animal, which would make for a very memorable idea. These make wonderful gifts and include pictures, booklets and updates, which would teach a child responsibility, compassion, and a one-to-one connection with the animals and nature.
Also, chocolate may be a delicious gift in the Easter basket, but it can be extremely tempting and dangerous for your pets.
Keep all chocolates and candy away from your dogs and cats as the toxicity levels from the caffeine derivative in chocolates, theobromine, can be fatal for them if ingested and candy can give them extreme gastrointestinal problems.
Instead, distract them from all sweets by providing safe chew toys and lots of love.

It took me 2.5 hrs, but I made it. I had a great time. I have been exhausted all week, probably because of the extra effort that ride took. Not just the increased rolling resistance, but the constant adjustments of balance, it all took a lot out of me. I've been eating like crazy all week to try to catch up.

That snow is beautiful–if I could handle the cold, I'd move there! But as it happens, even this area (Northwest Florida) is too cold for me–I should have been born in the Tropics!

sometimes witty book reviews
Pages/read time: 200, an hour's perusing for the non-enthusiast
My absolute delight in finding this 1932 edition of What Bird Is That? needs some explanation. When I was in primary school, my favourite word to spell was the title of my future career. I would cheerfully recite, at break-neck speed, to anyone who'd listen (voluntary audience or not):
I recall many, MANY hours spent gleefully turning pages and copying illustrations as best I could. I'd memorise the migratory range of swallows, the habitat spread of lorikeets and orange rumped parrots, the average centremetre height of spinifex pigeons' crests. I would pack 'rations' of savoy biscuits and sultanas, strap my Simpson and Day into my satchel and lead my little brother on 'expeditions' into our (actually quite small) paddock. All in the pursuit of birds yet unseen. The obsession well and truly established, my astute mother provided me with the following volume sometime before I was ten:
Photos and accurate mating season data; new species and race information; nest and egg portraits. It should all have been so wonderful. But I found myself yearning for illustrations. Specifically, the details brought out by the artists in order to lead the eye to key identification traits, nest construction techniques, and silhouette shapes. What exactly made a white-faced, white-cheek and white-headed honey eater different? How did a European swallow's nest differ from a less well-travelled sub-species? Was that silhouette a black shouldered kite or a kestrel? Mother, her eye well-tuned to the traits of her daughter's emotional identification traits, made this volume appear the following Christmas:
Michael Moore's Field Guide to Australian Birds was my hobby bible for years. Even as I started to drift away from the 'scientific bird-watching' career my five year old self so coveted, I still regularly flipped through the pages. I can still find common species and family groups from the feel of the pages and recite the names of most birds within sight throughout Australia. My cheap, glossy papered Gouldian prints of eastern rosellas and a pair of king parrots are still some of my most prized childhood possessions. So I was utterly ecstatic, one day at a charity fair, to find my copy of What Bird Is That?
It's funny to think this book was printed in the year of the great Emu War of 1932 (no, really). The beautiful colour plates of this volume are still vivid and vibrant. The descriptions are quaint and often repetitive. The science is definitely questionable. But, as an example of an historical Australian document, this is now definitely one of my favourite volumes in my library.
Reading suggestion: If in Australia, try to sit outside on a summer morning in the country or near the bush when perusing this guide. Bonus points for correctly identifying morning magpie calls, galah and corella shrieks and crimson rosella tones by ear while reading.

I told you I wanted to try to publish reviews more often, so here goes…
For this week's review, we're diving into graphic novels. Barnes and Noble recently held a Fangirl Friday in-store event, so naturally I descended upon my local store like a dragon ready to collect shiploads of treasure for my hoard. After all, not all treasure is silver and gold.
If you're not familiar with Noelle Stevenson's work, you should really remedy that! She's super talented, really funny, and completely adorable. If I ever meet her, I'm gonna have to resist the urge to pinch her cheek, grandma-style.
A few years back, I was introduced to her webcomic called Nimona. It isn't available to read online anymore, but that's because the book is out and you should go buy it. Now, on to the review.
Infamous supervillain Ballister Blackheart likes the way his life is going. He's got a sweet secret lab, a bionic arm, and a dashing archenemy with whom he has uncertain ties. When a shape-shifting teenage girl named Nimona shows up unannounced in his secret lab, he briefly considers kicking her out.
Blackheart's enemy, Ambrosius Goldenloin, is a pawn for the state, run by a shady organization called the Institution. When, in one particularly gruesome fight, Goldenloin beheads Nimona, Blackheart is heartbroken. But then Nimona resurrects, getting the attention of the Institution's Director who wants Nimona dead and Blackheart out of the way. Blackheart confirms his suspicions about Nimona thanks to a local scientist, who may have created a machine that can contain Nimona's awesome powers.
The Institution captures Blackheart, and when Nimona comes to his rescue they capture her as well, subjecting her to invasive testing. In her rage, a part of her escapes their containment. She goes on a rampage through the city, destroying the castle and killing the king and the Director. Blackheart borrows the scientist's machine, binding Nimona's powers while Goldenloin attempts to stop her. Blackheart rescues the remaining human part of her, but with the machine running she cannot bind her disparate identities together. Blackheart pulls Goldenloin from the wreckage of the lab just before it explodes, apparently killing Nimona.
While Goldenloin recovers in the hospital, Blackheart has one last chance to see Nimona alive before she disappears from his life. The two knights rekindle their relationship and Blackheart goes on to open a lab with the scientist who helped save the kingdom. Nimona, it seems, is gone forever.
How I found it: Barnes & Noble Fangirl Friday
Genre: Young adult; fantasy; comic
Does it pass the Bechdel test? No
Is it a standalone? Yes
So what worked? I love this book it's SO CUTE. -ahem- I liked the character development. The art style is adorable, and the writing made me laugh out loud so often that my husband got tired of asking me what was so funny. The characters aren't necessarily people you might meet in the real world, but their conflicts are. They're so fantastic and yet so utterly human. I like that the ending didn't tie everything up in a neat little bow, because life is sometimes messy and things aren't always what we want them to be in the end, and I like it when books reflect that.
It's also nice to see a female lead who is not conventionally attractive; Nimona is young, sure, but how often does that stop creators from sexualizing a character? She isn't rail thin, she doesn't have long blonde hair, she wears a mini-skirt, she swears, she is angry, she is powerful… she is not the elusive so-called 'perfect' woman; she's more real than that. And she's that much more wonderful for it.
Physically, the book is really high quality. The pages are thick enough but not too thick, the colors are vibrant, and overall it feels like an excellent investment for a paperback. As a migraine sufferer, I also really appreciated that the pages weren't shiny enough to make my lamp glare off them.
What didn't work? Some of the pages were a little close to the binding which made a few of the panels difficult to read, but probably only because I hate opening paperback books too far and risking cracking the spine. And, selfishly, I wish there were more to read. I want to know everything about Nimona. And yet, life doesn't always give you closure.
Overall: I really enjoyed this book. On the surface, it's a cute comic that's a relatively quick and definitely fun read. But really, it's an excellent look at relationships, heartbreak, forgiveness, character, acceptance, and so much more. It's definitely worth a read.

Club History
The Deertrack archery range was formed in 1948 by Mrs. Abby Roberts, the eldest child of John M. Longyear. Mrs. Roberts had the course professionally designed for her daughter Mary who was actively involved in archery at the time. Due to the foresight of Mrs. Roberts and her family, many generations of Marquette area archers have been able to enjoy a "world class" range. The club holds the lease to the land indefinitely as long as it is operated as an archery range. Since inception the club has carried on a mission of promoting the enjoyment of archery and a tradition of outdoor sportsmanship. Club membership has included over 150 families and individuals of all ages, shooting styles, and skill levels. The club is a non-profit volunteer community service organization. Operating expenses are funded by membership fees and proceeds from club sponsored shoots.
Range Location
Deertrack Bowhunters, Inc. – Conveniently hidden in Marquette Township.
- Fom US41, turn west onto Grove Street
- Pass the Marquette Golf Club
- Make a right on Vandenboom.
- The range is on the left hand side of the road immediately before the railroad tracks.

Join other communities of faith to pledge a total of $50,000 each year until capital punishment is abolished in Colorado. This stable base of support will enable CADP to build a stronger organization that will one day end the death penalty in our state. Some congregations can pledge only $100 or $250 each year. Other larger faith communities will be able to send $2,000 or more to CADP annually. Make an investment in the future with your pledge to CADP!
Host an education event. CADP will help you design a small or large group forum, film screening, or a presentation by an attorney, corrections official, murder victim's family member, or other speaker.
Speak on capital punishment from the pulpit. CADP can provide background materials to help your spiritual leader craft a meaningful message that is rooted in your faith tradition.
Join the "For Whom the Bells Toll Campaign" organized by People of Faith Against the Death Penalty. If your place of worship has a bell, toll it at 6:00pm for two minutes on the date of an execution. For more details, visit the campaign web site at http://tinyurl.com/TollBells.
Encourage members of your congregation to join CADP. Have brochures and member registration forms available at the entrance of your worship space.
Ask people in your faith community to organize an abolition ministry team. These energized people can work to encourage others to become CADP members. They can staff tables at various events in your area — concerts, art shows, conferences, and fairs. These are all great opportunities to educate the public on the death penalty and make the abolition movement more visible locally.
Catholic Mobilizing Network (CMN) proclaims the Church's unconditional pro-life teaching and its application to capital punishment and restorative justice. CMN works in close collaboration with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops to prepare Catholics for informed involvement in campaigns to repeal state death penalty laws and expand or inaugurate restorative justice programs.
What We Do
·Educate the lay community through our programs and materials on the Church's teachings on the death penalty.
·Facilitate respectful and informed discourse within the Catholic community and the community at large.
·Encourage informed Catholic involvement in the public debate.

This piece stems from the Slice of SciFi #179 interview with Ben Bova. Having read many of Ben Bova's books, it was a real treat listening to the all-too-short interview. And, just as most of his books did, the interview got me thinking. It made me want to comment on a few subjects discussed during the interview (please, contain your joy). I'll touch on each of them in turn over the next few submissions.
This piece comments on the following: Science Fiction movies today do not inspire people ("whole generations" was the term used) toward space exploration because they are not really science fiction movies. I assume they were referring to Science Fiction movies specifically dealing with space travel and exploration, and that's the movies I'm talking about in this piece. Read more...

The latest generation of Kia Soul will come to us, big changes seem to be the exterior of this car, this time we will talk about the concept of 2019 Kia Soul. and some other important information that is very important especially for you Kia fans.
2019 Kia Soul Concept Design
On the cabin, virtually certainly it might not escape with any significant modifications. The existing model has effortless and fulfilling interior style and design, too since the technologies remedies will nonetheless be satisfactory. The dashboard, as well as the center console, will preserve its identifiable design, and in addition, the infotainment system continues to be much like the prior model because it is really new for 2019 Kia Soul.
2019 Kia Soul is incredibly promising ahead with important improvements for its exterior. The front finish could be the primary just before to your enterprise to obtain a new look. The form from the headlights will be revised, as well as the fog lights are going to be greater but extended to its sides. The grille will probably be substituted by much more present day search from Soul. The slight changes are often noticed through the expected windows, too as the artificial air vents will probably be taken out. Also, the rear finish is big nicely ahead of getting, however, it would not have a drastic adjust.
2019 Kia Soul Engine
New Engines for 2019 Kia Soul. If we see the formerly engaged drivetrains, the two key unique engines this kind of like a variety of 1.6 liter engine with 120 hp in conjunction with 110 pound-feet type of torque, plus a 2.0 liter and 4-cylinder with 165 hp and 150 pound-feet of torque for the higher trim model. These engines are coupled with each 6-speed automatic and guide transmission respectively. We undoubtedly all count on that this auto crew can surely make some tweaks over the engine sources and in addition the communications to boost the 2019 Kia Soul effectiveness.
2019 Kia Soul Price And Release Date
There is not enough accurate information regarding the release date and price of Kia Soul, we estimate the release date of this car will be at the end of next year and for the price may not exceed $ 20,000.

30 Nov Canaan Guesthouse – Kanchanaburi
When I was going to Kanchanaburi, I knew I would need a place where to stay near the bus station, as I wanted to visit the Erawan Fall, The Bridge over the Kwai River and the next day I was going early in the morning to Sangkhlaburi. I would come back one they after, only to sleep and take again the bus to Bangkok, that's why I decided to book Canaan Guesthouse.
Everything was worse that I had read or seen in the pictures. Nothing was clean, the toilets don't have a flush, so you have to us a bucket of water after using the toilets, the shower is disgusting. The bed was not comfortable, sheets where not clean and everything was looking as they don't take care of the place. No locker provided, and the Wi-Fi was not working properly. A lot of cats around although they don't allow pets, but they have as many as they want.
I don't recommend this place at all. For this budget, for sure there's something better in the city.
The only good thing is that it is near the bus station, in case you are looking to stay near it.

Your comments please.
Hi everyone.
My wife and I are looking to purchase our first Trailerable and after a weekend with a sailing collegue in Paynesville Vic, have been strongly recommended the RL24 due to its good compromises for our requirements.
I have come from a Paper Tiger and my wife, crewing on many Trailerables. Speed is a factor, as is fun and low cost.
I welcome your comments please?
Other recommendations are Southcoast 22 or Castle 650 (cost issue)
Will be club racing regularly in Geelong.
Thanks in advance.
Re: Your comments please.
The key to finding a good RL has several issues that need to be considered, hull, engine position, keel type, rig and trailer.
The hull came in 5 configurations, Mark 1 (a bit rough but cheap), Mk 2 (better finish low gunnels still cheap), Mk 3 ( more room below, better finish and latter ones had a better engine mount), Mk 4 (factory drop keel less room below due to keel improved swept back rig without backstay) and RL24 modified (any standard RL with different rigs keels, rudder and hull configurations).
The engine position has 3 options, the standard position in the well, the later position in the well where the engine plate is about 50mm forward allowing the engine to tilt inside the stern and engine on a bracket over the stern with the well sealed off. A modern 5hp outboard with high thrust propeller is all that is needed to push an RL24 safely.
Keel types are Mk1 which was a light swing keel, Mk2 which is a heavy swing keel, Mk 3 which is a heavy swing keel, Mk4 which is a factory drop keel and drop rudder and modified which is generally a MK1 2 or 3 converted to a custom drop keel. Some people describe the Mk 4 as a Mk3 with drop keel.
Rigs vary with most RLs differing because most were fitted out by the owners or different riggers. The old fractional rigs used on the Mk1 and Mk2 are dated designs with limited performance. Mk 3s with adjustable backstays were getting pretty good but still require lots of adjustment to keep them efficient. The Mk 4s with pealgraine masts and Hood sails were the first of the skiff rigs where the mast bend and rig deflection allowed the rig to sail efficiently with less adjustment for changes in wind conditions. Skiff rigs have been adapted for many racing RLs with increased flexibility and better efficiency due to the more modern dingy masts.
Trailers are mainly about old home made, old manufactured and new manufactured. Corrosion kills old trailers and a replacement will cost $4000 so a cheap yacht on a stuffed trailer can end up very expensive if you need to add a $4000 trailer to get it to the water. The RL is an easy yacht to trailer around, buying one with a safe trailer with good modern brakes and wheels is important.
Modifed well engine installation
Intending to put my engine back into the well. Would appreciate any happy snap pix from someone with the modified installation to permit engine tilting.

Rotech chases Apria for DSO crown
Wednesday, March 31, 2004
ORLANDO, Fla. - When it comes to collecting its money, Rotech is running with some pretty good company these days. For 2003, the company reduced its DSOs to a record low 52 days, according to its year-end financial report released Feb. 25.
That's only two days more than Apria, and much better than the industry average of about 85 days. During 2003, which CEO Philip Carter called a "remarkable year," Rotech also reduced its inventory from $21 million to $8 million and repaid $110 million in debt. The company tallied $8 million in net earnings compared to $2 million in 2002. Respiratory therapy represented 85.9% of total revenue for 2003 compared to 79.4% in 2002.

Earlier this week, a lawsuit was brought against C.J. Mahaney's Sovereign Grace Ministries (SGM) alleging that leaders within the network participated in covering up multiple incidents of child sexual abuse. SGM is a network of churches in 21 different countries and is not without controversy. Just last year, founder and president of SGM, C.J. Mahaney, was the subject of an internal investigation as some accused him of "various expressions of pride, unentreatability, deceit, sinful judgment and hypocrisy."
Now that SGM has moved its headquarters from Maryland to Louisville, it faces a new and solemn challenge in responding to this lawsuit. Ken Silva of Apprising Ministries updates us further in his latest article on the topic. View article →
