This is a favorite Taurus recipe from my book Sexy Star Sign Cooking: An Astrology Cookbook for Lovers. We are currently in Mango season and in the last week of Sun in Taurus, so I couldn't think of a better recipe to share. Throughout my daughter's childhood, growing up on the beautiful island of Maui, we often found ourselves blessed as the lucky recipients of huge bags of mango each season. My Taurus girl was also a big fan of the traditional carrot cake, with it's luscious cream cheese frosting and moist spice cake. So one day I had the bright idea to use mango as an alternative to the carrots and switched a few other ingredients around, and to our delight, the Mango Spice Cake was born, and has become a family favorite every since. I'd highly recommend giving this a try for an upcoming graduation celebration, baby or wedding shower, or just as a special dessert from my family to yours. Bon Appetit!
Taurus natives will approach matters of the heart in a logical way. From the comfort of their favorite cozy chair, they will weigh the pros and cons going to dinner with the newest suitor. If they can convince themselves that an evening out will be more interesting than curling up for a nap under a silky throw, they just might accept. Tough decision! They do so love those creature comforts.
These wonderful tropical gems are considered symbols of status and sexuality in many parts of the world. Taurus natives can appreciate status symbols and, given their sensual nature, can fully enjoy the sweet juiciness. High in vitamins A, C, and E, all antioxidants that help reduce stress that can affect Bulls when they are overwhelmed and their thyroids are taxed from running on over-load for too many days in a row. Trace amounts of copper, iron, and fiber will also help get them back in balance, so if Taurus can't make it to the Islands for fresh-picked mangoes, they definitely need to pick them up at their local specialty produce market.
Mango Spice Cake with Vanilla Bean Cream Cheese Frosting
Serves 12
Taurus will love the spice and texture of this delicious cake. You may get more than you bargained for when you show up with this. Make sure you bring the whole cake!

- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

- In a separate mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until smooth consistency, and then whisk in the oil and vanilla.
- Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, mixing in a small amount at a time until incorporated.
- Stir in the mango, pineapple, coconut, and ½ cup of the walnuts. Pour into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and cool for 1 hour. Turn out onto a platter.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine all frosting ingredients. Beat with a hand-held mixer until smooth. Spread the frosting on the cooled cake and serve.

Experience feedback – Arkema
As part of the move of one of its affiliates, Arkema asked Witivio to set up a pilot Chatbot to support employees at each step of their move to a new work environment. This virtual assistant called "Smarty" provides information to help them prepare their move and take ownership of the new spaces.
We interviewed the group's IT End USer Services Manager to get his impression of the collaboration between Witivio and Arkema.
What were the advantages of setting up a Chatbot in your case of use which is a relocation ?
The first idea was to have an interaction between the actors, the people involved in the move and the project team via our intranet network. However, the company's Communication team asked us to look for a new solution. So we thought, "Why not take it a step further by automating the answer to the most common questions? ». The Chatbot appeared as an obvious alternative. We were fortunate to have a business use case that coincided with our desire to test these new artificial intelligence tools.
The advantage of the Chatbot, compared to our first solution, is to have a homogeneity of answers, which is a guarantee of the solidity of a project like this one (moving). We had to carry out preparatory work, with various shareholders, to formalize these responses, which also allowed us to bring them to the attention of management for validation. This would not have been the result of the first solution, which would probably have meant a more informal exchange of information.
In addition, the implementation of this Chatbot to encourage the writing of knowledge in a fun way. It has a convivial aspect, to sit around a table, to ask questions to a robot, to train it,… We have succeeded in bringing together resources that otherwise would not have taken the time to meet.
What will happen to Smarty after you move ?
We have collected a lot of information about the reception on the new work site to set up Smarty. We would therefore like to keep this data and transform our current use case – the move – into a chatbot dedicated to welcoming newcomers – onboarding.
Is your Chatbot easy to access ?
Yes indeed since it is integrated with Skype, which is the tool used for chatting in our company.
We communicated internally during the launch of Smarty, with a pilot test first of all that allowed people to be the ambassador of the tool, before making the online launch of the tool official for all. We also used programmable push communication via the Witivio application so that Smarty could send punctual information to all employees connected to Skype. This feature is widely appreciated by our communication team. Users also welcomed this new information access tool.
Its big advantage is that the Chatbot will only solicit collaborators when they are available (available in Skype). This has the advantage of not disturbing them while they are in meetings or otherwise.
We used the push, of course for the launch of Smarty but also to push other information. The push is a success because it helps to maximize feedback, users will, most of the time, initiate a conversation. In addition to being a virtual assistant, Smarty becomes a real actor accompanying the collaborators in this project.
What do you think of the Witivio platform ?
The application allows an intuitive handling. It is easy to use, especially for updating the knowledge base. What is most important is that our business agents can be autonomous in the continuous improvement of the Chatbot.
How did you find Witivio support ?
There was a good support, very complete, a real commitment. We are not only talking about assistance but also about a real willingness to move the subject forward.

The portraits will have photographs to show the physical person and MRI
scans to show their brain, but we also need to communicate to the
viewer the other aspects of each person. First of all we need to find
these things out ourselves. Taking what we have discovered in the
previous sections, let's try and develop some questions that we can ask
our participants.
Remember, although we will interview each person using these questions, we may phrase them in different ways or put them in a different order to make the interview flow more easily. How we ask questions can be as important as the actual questions. It is necessary to put a person at ease before they will start revealing the details of their lives that we may be interested in.
Task - Watch this clip of Michael Parkinson interviewing Meg Ryan on his BBC chat show. Notice the body language and terse answers to questions. Discuss why this might be.
Task - In groups come up with 5 questions that you might ask to help find out about someone else. Try them out on each other and try writing them in different ways. For example the question 'Who are you?', could illicit a very short answer from one person and a very long one from someone else. Try questions that might reveal things about people in a round about way. An example might be 'do you have a favourite book or author?'.
Come back together as a group and hear the questions. Try them out on the staff, pupils and anyone else who might be around. In our case this included the head of year and another science teacher. Shortlist down to ten questions.
More about the interview processAlthough the school group developed the list of questions to ask (see pdf, top right), the actual interview process was slightly more complex. Each person was interviewed in a studio to help capture the best acoustics. Unfortunately this meant an unfamiliar and uncomfortable situation for most. The inclusion of the video camera and various microphones made everyone even more self concious.
The interviewer had to try and make the interviewee as relaxed as possible; to ignore the cameras and recording devices; and to move away from pre-prepared answers. Each interview lasted for approximately an hour.
The podcast below gives further detail on this process.

Happy Halloween! Time to revolutionize the chocolate bar.
These bars turn chocolate into an amazing superfood.
They reinvent chocolate as a food group unto itself. Packed with superfoods…all raw, making them really potent!
I was inspired by the $20 chocolate bars made by living libations. I purchase some essential oils from them, and just had to try the chocolate bar once last year. The time to get some more essential oils arose…and again, I was tempted by the chocolate. Just one bar, I told myself, to see if I can create my own version. I did it. While I still haven't tasted the original in some time…I think I've created a rival that you can make at home.
These bars are amazing, but quite different from "typical" chocolate. What we in North American commonly refer to as "chocolate" is really candy. What often feels more like "chocolate" is something darker…70% maybe. But 70% is only referring to the % of the bar that comes from the cocoa tree. It could be bark!
Yes, I learned that from an esteemed french trained patisier earlier this week.
These are different. There's more texture to them. They're still smooth, but not as melty as a typical sugar laden candy coating.
They are complex, like wine can be. There are fruity notes. Even when you smell the fresh cacao beans, the aroma is amazing, rich and full. For this recipe, I (with the help of my fiancee) actually shelled heirloom cacao beans from Ecuador, and ground them myself. If you want freshness, and the fullest flavour possible, that's the way to go.
Here are the shelled beans:
Here's the cocoa after grinding:
Now, onto the superfood qualities:
Raw cacao: the most antioxidant rich food on the planet.
Maca powder: balances your hormones
Spirulina: Green superfood, source of protein, and amazing for detox
Hemp seeds: Great source of protein, and omega 3's
Raw honey: antibacterial, great for your immune system
Yes, we're talking about a chocolate bar.
Here's what it looks like when you mix it into a paste…and if you decide to add in some spirulina last minute:
Onto the recipe!
- 1 cup raw cacao beans, shelled
- 2 tablespoons maca powder
- ½ cup hemp seeds
- 1 vanilla bean pod
- ¼ cup raw honey (local if possible)
- ⅛ cup coconut manna
- 2 teaspoons spirulina
- Peel your cacao beans. Grind with ¼ cup of hemp seeds (I used the dry grains container in a Vitamix, but a few rounds in a coffee grinder could work too).
- Transfer ground powder to a bowl, and mix in maca, and spirulina, and remaining hemp seeds (not ground), and stir.
- Scrape in vanilla beans from pod, and add honey and coconut manna, and stir well.
- Press into a parchment lined container, and set/store in the fridge.
- Cut into bars.
- Enjoy.
As you can see, a lot of love goes into making these from scratch….but you simply cannot beat the freshness factor, and how good it feels to eat REAL chocolate.
What a delicious bite:

Every since my neighbor Mrs. Rader used to bake and decorate amazing cakes for our birthdays and communions, I've always wanted to learn how to decorate fancy cakes myself. Well, the opportunity has arrived. Michael's Craft Store is offering Wilton Cake Decorating classes every month. Isabella and I are planning on taking this class together which should be a fun mother-daughter activity (I hope). I'm really excited because I've honestly wanted to do this probably since I was about five years old. We're planning on starting in February if all goes well. I can't wait!

Students back to school after lockdown
Police will be patrolling the Hartland elementary neighborhood
HARTLAND, Wis. — Police will be patrolling the neighborhood around a Hartland elementary school as students head to class.
Officers armed with assault rifles searched a 3-acre wooded area around Hartland North Elementary Thursday afternoon after two students reported seeing a man in a dark hooded sweat shirt holding a rifle-size weapon. Police Chief Robert Rosch says the two 7-year-old boys heard a loud bang and ran back into the school.
The building was locked down. Officers say they didn't find anything suspicious. Superintendent Glenn Schilling tells WISN-TV it's better to "err on the side of caution."

Theater: The Fall of France
Nationality: Jewish
Formation: French Civilians
Position: Medical Student
Status: Active
Isaac Shoshan was born in Bethlehem on March 1914. Both his parents Hed and Meira Shoshan were respected people in the community with his father and mother owning together a large jewelry store specializing in the sale of diamonds.
Isaac being the eldest in the family was given the reigns to take over the family business. However, he had no interest the sale of the precious stones and continuing the businesses. He had great ambitions of being a lawyer. Still his parents insisted and though out his teenage years he worked in his fathers shop. Since a great deal of business often came from Belgium, he has to learn French. The language came easy with a large colonial French influence.
As the years passed, Isaac yearned to be more then a merchant. Even with the successful businesses, he wanted to branch out in a different direction. When confronting his parents with the prospect of becoming a Lawyer, the idea did not sit with them. After months of pleading, and now with school graduation on the near horizon, his parents made a compromise. They would accept him being either a Rabbi or a Doctor. The first option was not a choice for Isaac. While a great student of the Jewish faith as a child, being a Rabbi was not a life profession that he wanted to peruse. The idea of being a Doctor sat well with the Isaac and he soon began to dedicate his studies towards Medicine.

This was posted in Elysiun....
Here is test one, a test scene I used to try out some settings with the toon shader:
Shadows ON, RayMir ON at .25, and toon diff size at 1.2
This one, the two left spheres have a toon diff size at 3.14, toon spec size at 1 and spec level at .0260, as @ner's tutorial has it. The right sphere is the same as above, instead with all spec turned off
Shadows OFF, RayMir ON at .25
This one is the same as above, but this time with Shadows ON:
The shadows on the two left spheres have a jagged edge to them.
If reflections are turned off, and shadows left on, the same effect will occur.
(The spheres are smoothed UVspheres at the default settings)
If this matters, i'm using Blender 2.36 on SuSE Linux 9.2, but I got the same results using Windows.
Is this a bug?

Caliente to reopen as 'gastro-pub' with new name, owners
The new owners of the former Caliente Bar & Grill hope to open the downtown Shelton establishment with a new name, menu and approach sometime in late July.
The new place is being described as "a gastro-pub" and will be called Center Street Social.
"It will be pub-style, with an emphasis on food," said John Barounis, a co-owner. "It will have reclaimed wood and an antiquated look inside."
"We'll offer comfort food," said Derrick Lee, the other co-owner and the permittee.
A few workers have been renovating the inside since Caliente recently was closed. A gastro-pub generally refers to a lounge and restaurant that serves higher-end beer and food.
Extensive backgrounds in business
Barounis and Lee purchased the business from brothers Danny and Dave Orazietti — best known for the two Danny O establishments in Shelton — about a month ago, but the Oraziettis still own the Caliente building at 127 Center St.
Barounis owns five restaurants and bars in New York state, with four of them in Manhattan and the fifth in an outer suburb.
Lee has been involved in starting restaurants and bars in South Norwalk and, more recently, was a co-founder and co-owner of Tavern in Monroe but has since sold his interest in that Route 25 establishment.
'We want to get the patio going'
Barounis said they are eager to open their doors. "We want to get the patio going, with the summer here," he said. "We'll get a mixologist to design a drink menu."
The co-owners said Center Street Social will be designed to attract families with their food menu — it will include a kids' menu and family-friendly dining area — but also be a place for adults to share some drinks, especially after work and after dinner time.
"We want to be inclusive," Barounis said in a reference to welcoming people of all ages who want to primarily eat or drink. "There will be a light, fun atmosphere, with a little bit of energy as well."
Center Street Social should offer Sunday brunch, live music, karaoke and a daily Happy Hour, they said.
A banner announcing the new name should go up as soon as this week, the co-owners said.
Building had been renovated
Caliente opened about four years ago when the Oraziettis purchased and renovated the building at 127 Center St., with its unique yellowish-brick facade. The building previously was a bar that attracted many motorcycle riders.
Caliente specialized in Mexican cuisine and doubled as a place to eat or drink. A neon sign with a sun logo identified the establishment. Its outdoor patio, visible from Center Street, was an attraction.
The word "caliente" means hot or fiery in Spanish.
"We had three places and someone came in with an offer and we decided to sell it," Danny Orazietti said of the Caliente business.
There is a concentration of drinking and eating establishments in downtown Shelton.

I had the essure procedure in 2009 after my son was born. The doctor told me that I could not have my tubes tied and this was the only way. I didn't know much about the procedure but it was on TV so I thought it was a good idea. Well after the procedure the insurance would not cover the check up so I never went back. Over the past 6 years I have had 4 miscarriages one I end up in the hospital because it was a tubal pregnancy and it was already gone. I have had horrible periods so bad I can not get out of bed and I have gained over 50 pounds and look pregnant, I bit my lip thru sex because it hurts so bad but I don't want to deprive my husband. Every doctor I have gone to says that my essure is fine, but I hurt so am going Monday and beg for these to be taken out. I hope something good comes out of this appt. If you do not have the essure and plan on getting it, DON'T! You will regret it, its very painful.

I bought this wallet for my boyfriend. It is larger in real life than I expected so I would pay attention to the size, 6"x3", 1/2" thick. But as noted, the leather appears sturdy/thick but soft and bendable. The snaps do seem quite durable. Had they had a regular size trifold wallet w/ chain, I would have gotten that one instead but this one is quite a nice wallet.
Small Brown Trucker's Wallet
Posted by Doc on Feb 4th 2008
About 6 months ago I bought an 2007 H-D Street Bob with isn't meant to be as smooth of ride as a dresser. I got tired of things bumping out of my pockets and began worrying that the next thing to rattle its way out would be my wallet. I bought a small trucker's wallet, one of those black cheap things. First thing was that it was stiff as a a brick, probably would have taken years to break it, and until then it wasn't going to be fun having it unbending on my rump. Second, within 2 weeks one of the snaps completely broke. I spoke to my seamstress about fixing it, she took one look and said toss it, it's crappy leather. I've had good luck with Fox Creek and got on their website right away. I ordered the small brown wallet with the chain. This thing is very soft, in fact after a couple of weeks, I took the chain off, since it fits my bottom perfectly and there is no way is it going to shake loose. Besides, in my kind of work place, a chain hanging out of one's back pocket is not necessarily what one would call "acceptable". The wallet is just incredibly soft and conforming to one's bottom. It has a zipper section, a place for folding money, and a second small compartment. Even if you already have a wallet, I'm sure it isn't as soft or well made as this one, so toss that one and just buy this one, you will not be disappointed.

Do you hate Jorah Mormont just because Richard Carlisle was such a bastard man to Lady Mary Crawley? Do you love Seth Green forever and ever because Oz and Willow were just so darn cute? Yes, of course you do. Everybody has doomed at least one poor actor to Sisyphean atonement or pledged their eternal devotion based on irrational associations made in our own brains. We need a word for that!
Here's our definition:
n. the inability to see past an actor's previous work or public persona while judging said actor's current work
Now help me come up with a word!

text: Well I can only say a trip through four countries in just 10 days was absolutely unbelievable. We flew into Zurich, Switzerland and rented a car. From there we drove through the edge of Germany and saw Neuschwanstein Castle. We went to Salzburg and Innsbruck, Austria; and enjoyed Elizabeth's singing with the "Sound of Music" show. We drove down into Italy and enjoyed a couple of days in Venice. The "Regada" was going on and we got to enjoy a huge festival. Other things we got to enjoy were just the simple pleasures of pork and a little time to reflect. Wow! I still get chills thinking of the beautiful views that we saw in the Alps and the open green valleys with all of the Swiss houses and the tons of flowers. It was an absolutely unbelievable vacation and we hope to see some of those places again.

Nowadays electric cars are at its boom. I think most of you will be either thinking about buying a new electric car or had already bought a new one because in future you have to use this only. But it is obvious to consider the facts of cost-effectiveness of electric cars from IC engine cars.
The price of an electric car is 1.5to 2 times higher than that of IC engine cars of the same model. But later it requires less maintenance, as well as only a minimal amount of money, is spent on charging compare to petrol or diesel engine car. Thus, we can say, in 2019 it is a smart idea to have an electric vehicle at your home. But let's have a look at some cost-effective factors first.
- High purchase cost you can read about this in details in my other blog why electric cars are so costly.
- Maintenance cost:- Electric cars require less maintenance in comparison to IC engine cars. In electric cars, the motor is used at the place of engine and it doesn't require any maintenance. whereas in IC engine cars especially when it gets old, you have to change the engine oil, coolant, transmission fluid and belts and this can add up values over time. Thus the ic engine cars have a higher maintenance cost. Moreover, the battery used in electric vehicles is constantly drained and recharge but they have a significant life so you need hardly to change them in a lifetime.
- Running cost of the electric car is also very low as the electricity required to charge the battery cost very less in comparison to petrol, diesel or CNG. A study in the U.S.A. in 2018 shows an average cost of an electric vehicle is $485 per year while gasoline one costs $1,117 for a year.
Overall, it is a wise decision to have an electric car in 2019 as the government is also providing tax relaxation and giving some incentives on electric vehicles. cost effectiveness of electric cars

London Fashion Week 2011: Katie Eary
The film focuses on Eary's 'Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas' collection for next year's spring/summer season, bringing her trademark aesthetic to the small screen. In amongst the blaze of night-vision greens and violent red lights emerged Eary's vision of a 'Winter-in-Summer' look, laying bare our survival instincts to clash the atmosphere of the arctic with the heat of the dessert in a collection based on the aesthetical paradox. Inspired by soldiers from the French Legion to the hallucinogenic narcotics of Vegas, Eary juxtaposes a myriad of influences to produce a SS12 that'll turn tradition on its head.
Arriving just in the nick of time after following some of the worst directions known to man, I found myself sat in an intimate room eating a Ferrero Rocher across from Kanye West. As you do…
It was one of those times that you wish the gale force winds outside hadn't given you a hairdo akin to a mullet and that you weren't stuffing your face on the freebies. But after I was done chomping on glorified Nutella, I gave Kanye, who was now looking my way, a small salute which was returned with a shy smile and a nod. Shy? Kanye? Looking to his right, I then noticed his resident bag carrier Mr Hudson sat alongside ready to enjoy the show that was actually using Mr West, once again, as its backing track. Coincidence? No, probably not.
The show began revealing a palette of burnt copper, mustard, cheetah print and gold lame metallics on a series of tshirts and anti fit trousers to reflect the bizarre and brave world of a debauched Las Vegas. With the occasional strut of predominantly ostrich feather and partially sheer womenswear passing by to reveal a very much exposed bottom or two, it was back to the array of lace up trenches, foiled denim and open air knits accompanied by neon orange wicker luggage and Dutch hood falconry headwear.
Taking to the walk herself, Katie Earey received flowers from her orange-clad leading man as she gratefully thanked the audience for a rapturous response to her edgy and unusual collection.

Searching Through the Darkness at the Newport this Friday
Dusk is starting to set in and high street is bustling as people move about Columbus' main thoroughfare. The optimism and hope of the daytime is cast in shadow, and the creatures, thoughts, and sounds of the night begin to emerge from their hiding. Streetlights and the marquee at the Newport Music Hall are the only discernible lights lending any illumination to the encroaching darkness. The marquee broadcasts the evenings dance music event: Kingpin, Dunjinz, Wazabi, Fat and Ugly, and roeVy: ONE NIGHT ONLY. This gentle electric glow offers those passing by a brief reprieve from the overwhelming darkness that surrounds them. The barely discernible humming from these fluorescent lights offers an omen, a promise of what is to come in the depths of the night just beyond those two weathered doors..
Inside the Newport, there is little noise and the house lights are set low. A stark juxtaposition to the active streetscape located just beyond the doors. Its truly the calm before the storm. That moment when an erie silence permeates the entirety of the venue. This will all change in a very short time once the sound system gets cranked up and the nights activities begin. There really is no telling what will become of the event goers when they come into this world. It truly is a separate universe crafted with a whole different set of values, imagery, sounds, and beliefs.
The nights host, two demons clad in all black, have a twisted consciousness and only wish to lay bare the roots of your reality through a careful curation of images and sounds taken from the depths of the inferno they call home. Are you prepared to confront these demons? Are you prepared to enter their world? Are you prepared to consider the game-like nature of your reality and see the endless cycles you caught up in?
Their truly is no resistance once you step through those doors. The searing red eyes stand poised to hypnotize you into compliance and take you down their rabbit hole. The mystery that surrounds such a confrontation is surely a worthy endeavor to emabark upon in Columbus on a Friday night. A glimpse into that universe is offered on roeVy's Demons EP:
I entered their world earlier this week attempting to learn more of their agenda for the evening and how their efforts to bring their message to people around the country had been going. I brought an offering and they obliged me with an interview:
LA: This show comes on the heels of you all playing an increasing number of shows outside of Columbus. How has it been for you to begin to expand outside of Columbus?
R: The energy in the other cities we've played has been incredible and positive, it's always great to get a sense of how our image translates to those who have only seen our promo videos. people have been going so hard and it is really great to see! Also, our setup has a lot of items to carry on the road which we thought would be problematic but all the out of town venues we've played at so far have been greatly helpful and accommodating to our needs.
LA: This will be your second headlining show at the Newport in as many months. What is it about the Newport, as a venue, that you really love? Is there something about that space that appeals to you?
R: The Newport is an amazing place to play with an incredible and talented staff. The size and depth of the stage allows for us to completely curate the look and we have not even peaked the potential of what can be done with the space there. We plan on consistently making the act more interactive and insane to look at while people are dancing.
LA: Obviously, your music endears you to an international audience of fans and musicians working within the confines of what is vaguely classified as Techno, House, and Electro. What were your thoughts behind bringing in artists from Germany like Wazabi & Fat & Ugly who were working on the same musical endeavors as you all?
R: Both Wazabi and Fat & Ugly are amazing producers and getting bigger and better every day. We'd played their stuff out long before we met them and they are now good friends of ours and amazing people. The more acts we can get on stage with us that wouldn't normally be coming through the midwest the better. We are honored to play this show and have to hand it to Dunjinz, being the initial contact for hooking up with them.
LA: Do you have any goals for what your event will acheieve for our local dance music community?
R: It's time to go hard with some dark banging techno.
LA: Do you have any surprises in store for us on the 30th?
R: You can count on tons of new material by us.
Yet, roeVy will not be alone this Friday. They have enlisted the assistance of their local and international allies Kingpin, Dunjinz, Wazabi, and Fat and Ugly. All waving the banger of aggressive confrontation to the mundanity of the established patterns of life, these artists wish to further roeVy's agenda of challenging your conceptions of normal in their own unique ways. They have signed the official oaths of allegiance to these demons and will be coming at you with the full force of their artistic power.
Kingpin will begin the evening with his enticing and alluring sound that synthesizes sound from the entire spectrum of the musical universe to propel your feet into movement. I need to do little in the way of introducing this local musical force. He has proven himself time and time again to throw down amazing works of art every time he steps up to the decks. It is a true treat that we get to see him in his most exploratory in the opening spot. Some of my favorite sets I have seen him spin have been in these slots. Check out his Dance Bromance Mix from his disco house side project with Sybling Q called Disco Disco:
Dunjinz too really needs no introduction to local audiences. This guy is fresh off a classification smashing set at LeBoom 2.4 where he quickly taught everyone in the crowd not to try and pigeon hole him to one sound. I was left goose-bumped and wrecked from the diversity of sounds he explored. This performance friday proves to be no different, as he has the green light to go in ANY direction that he wants. What also makes this performance increasingly interesting is the first track called "Tuner" from his Silverwave Label has just been released and it is a wonderful artistic effort:
And thats not all, German based artists Wazabi and Fat and Ugly that will grace the Newport stage for the first time and bring their distinctive blend of menacing music to the dance floor for all of you to enjoy. This is doubtless a special aspect of the show, as some of our scenes artists are forging connections all over the world and beginning to bring those artists here for us to see.
One listen to Wazabi's tracks Shogun or Ripper and it is quite obvious that these guys are in a long running artistic conversation with the likes of roeVy and Dunjinz:
Fat & Ugly is no different. This guy creates and reworks tracks and sifts them through his artistic imagination to create hard, threatening tracks that stand pressed to compel you into movement. Take his track Elephant Attack for instance:
Luckily, I was able to catch up with him to ask him a few questions about his work and the show on friday:
LA: How did you get into dance music? Was there a track or show that started it all for you?
F&U: I always been a big hip hop fan, but the first time I heard tracks from artists like Justice, Alter Ego, Boys Noize or MSTRKRFT, I was really fascinated from all the energy that was going on in their tracks. If I had to choose one track that made me decide to produce electronic dance music I might choose Alter Ego – Rocker, but there are so many tracks I could mention.
LA: When did you start producing? What drove you to start creating your own sounds?
F&U: I bought a program called Music Maker for my Playstation One in 1997. It was a really shitty program but from that moment on I spended every free minute in making music. I started to buy more and more professional gear and tried to improve my sound. I think I mainly started producing music because I was bored of 90% of the music that I heard on the radio.
LA: What is you artistic approach to creating a new track or a remix?
F&U: I mostly make sounds when I'm in the studio, I just love to tweak the knobs and see what happens. When I finally made the sounds I like I usually finish a track within a couple of days.
LA: How would you describe your sound to those who have yet to hear your excellent Elephant Attack EP?
F&U: Thank you! I always try to give my tracks some extra madness while keeping them danceable at the same time. But it's not easy to describe your own music in words.
LA:What do you have in store for us for your show at the Newport?
F&U: I got a lot of tracks coming up and I will play some of them for the first time during my tour in the US. So I'm very excited! First of all there are the new tracks from my upcoming EP, a collaboration track with TAI which is going to be released on Dim Mak Records and my new remixes for Acid Jack or Gosteffects. I'm really looking forward to the show in Newport. It's going to be blast!
Gosteffects — Slave to Sweat (Fat and Ugly Remix)
Acid Jacks — The Sword (Fat and Ugly Remix)
No matter what brings you to the show Friday, we all will be searching for something in the darkness of the newport. Whether its a new idea, a new friend, or just a fun time, we will all be looking for an experience that will change our lives. This line up and these demons are the perfect guides through the world we know. Don't fight their sounds or imagery. Embrace it and see where the rabbit hole ends.
Get there early to get immersed in the entire curated experience. Event Details Here

A prominent researcher has stirred up the debate over Florida's high school graduation rate, ranking the state dead last in the nation based on a new way of looking at the data.
Researcher Jay Greene of the Manhattan Institute analyzed graduation numbers for the class of 2000 and concluded that 55 percent of Florida's students graduated in the traditional four years. That's well below the national average of 69 percent and close to numbers estimated by the federal government. But it's well below the state's own calculation of 67.9 percent.
Why the difference? It all comes down to who gets counted.
Students who don't graduate but who acquire a high school diploma by passing a General Educational Development test are counted as graduates by the state. Greene does not count them.
"Students who get a GED are not, properly speaking, high school graduates," Greene said. "To include those numbers and to take credit for them as graduates, we're obscuring more than we're revealing."
Florida education officials disagree with Greene's analysis.
"Getting a GED is preferable to dropping out without any kind of diploma," said John Winn, deputy secretary for the Florida Board of Education.
After Greene's analysis, the state looked to see what Florida's graduation rate would be if GED students were eliminated from the calculation. Winn said that would drop Florida's graduation rate from 67.9 percent to 65 percent, which is still much higher than Greene's conclusion.
More than 36,000 Florida students passed GED tests last year, more than in most states.
Greene sees the GED test as a lesser option. He cites studies that indicate that the earning potential for students with diplomas gained by that method more closely resembles earnings for dropouts.
Florida changed the way it calculates dropout rates four years ago, creating one of the most sophisticated tracking systems in the nation.
The old system was a rough estimate. The state counted the students in a ninth-grade class and counted the graduates four years later. The state did little to account for all the students moving in and out of schools, students who took more than four years to graduate and students who died. It was conceivable that a school could have a graduation rate greater than 100 percent if a lot of students transferred into a school during the four years.
Florida's new system tracks actual students, using identification codes. Theoretically the state can account for all ninth-graders over their four years of high school.
Greene's system resembles Florida's old system, though he does account for growth. Because he aims to make national comparisons, Greene was unable to use Florida's tracking system because many states don't have such a system.

Well it has been nearly a month since I last updated. Not that much has happened since my last post, but I thought I would provide a short update.
With the end of April comes to the end of the school year for university students – the ever longed for summer vacation. Unfortunately, these "four months of freedom" end up as four months of full time employment, and quite likely time away from children and development in the field of education. This is also a time to catch up on course loads or to get ahead in a degree through spring/summer classes.
What am I up to for the summer? Well I have been lucky enough to be employed full time working with children. My job involves traveling around the province to different schools and community events educating children on bike, pedestrian, and bike safety, as well as educating teenagers on the effects of impaired driving, and educating parents on child safety seats. This job has taught me more than I had ever imagined, and I've only been working for two weeks! But my favorite thing about this job is that it is the first summer job I have ever had where I am working with children and youth every week for the entire summer.
I am also taking an online Justice Studies 210 course which I find extremely interesting. I enjoy being able to focus on one class instead of four or five and am able to learn a lot while working around my busy schedule. Although it is summer time, I am continuing to learn in a number of aspects – from my everyday employment to my online courses, and everything I encounter in between.
I hope that the end of the school year is treating all of the teachers out there well and that everyone can enjoy their summer vacations when they come.

Hi Team. ^_^ The first table has launched and the second table is gearing up for June 12th. Put together a little primer on my campaign here:
What is Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition?
The 2nd edition ruleset is an updated version of Advanced Dungeons and Dragons (AD&D). AD&D 2nd edition was released in 1989 featuring new rules and characters.
What does this mean for this campaign?
This is a trip back in-time to the 90s era of the hobby. I plan to incorporate rules from a variety of AD&D 2e products outside of the core books (Player's Handbook, Dungeon Masters Guide and Monsters Manual) For this campaign I plan to draw from rules detailed in the Players Options series (Combat & Tactics, Skills & Powers, Spells & Magic) Handbooks and Dragon Magazine articles – to name just a few sources for my homebrew rules / campaign. The rules I plan to bring to the table will evolve and change over time and I hope to codify everything for players in a custom Player's Handbook. In the meantime, please bear with me!
OK! Great! But what is this going to play like?
Good question. I love what programs like Critical Role have done to popularize Dungeons & Dragons for a whole new generation of tabletop role-playing gamers but one consequence of programs like Critical Role is that it has shifted expectations for your average Dungeons and Dragons session. It is very performative – almost like interactive / collaborative theater.
This is great and perhaps this is where the hobby is headed but I would like to return back to the roots of Dungeons & Dragons. I would like to go back to the days of Chainmail and miniature wargames played across overland and dungeon battle grids. My campaign will place a much larger emphasis on procedure and mechanics over performance.
Characters will not be immortal, they may die – and they may die in great numbers. The dice will fall where they may – but this will hopefully make victory (when it is achieved) all that much sweeter.
It is best to think of this campaign as a detailed boardgame. Combat encounters will last longer than you are used to in 5e. And in keeping, more time and care will be taken to resolve combat in this campaign than you might have experienced before. If you are an impatient person and or gamer than this campaign might not be for you – but if you are happy to take your time and enjoy the experience, then please do stick around!

Fun sports reads
For most of my life, prior to this thing they call the web, sports was my #1 passion. My goal was to play pro baseball. That didn't quite work out and I only made it as far as small college. But, it's always fun to read some great sports stories and take your mind off everyday life. I just came across a couple good ones by Michael Lewis, author of Moneyball:
- Absolutely, Power Corrupts (via Kottke)
- Coach Leach Goes Deep, Very Deep (recommended by a friend and also is on Kottke's list)
I think I'm going to have read Moneyball soon, even if a little late.

At some point in our life, we all wanted to be a Disney Princess, and to have our Prince sweep us away from all our troubles. We wanted to be swept away from our boring lives, and taken to their castles and live happily ever after. Who could blame us? Disney was a way to escape real life for a lot of us.
We're all (mostly) grown ups now, as much as it pains me to say it, and most of us don't need rescuing by a handsome and animated prince. It's not because we're no longer Disney obsessed, quite the opposite in fact, but we've learnt to look after ourselves.
But that still doesn't mean we don't still want a nice and romantic date with our very own Prince Charming. These Disney Princes may not be perfect, but they will certainly treat you like a Princess, and make you feel like you're living your happily ever after.
So what will it be, coffee with Phillip, dinner and a film with Eric, or a couple of drinks with Aladdin? There's only one way to find out! So why don't you take the quiz to see which Disney Prince is your soul mate?

It's an ongoing and ever-growing question. Is it better to reserve flights directly with the airline or book it through a travel search site? Well, sometimes it IS good to use the search site and sometimes it IS better to contact the airline. Here's a look at the reasons you might want to reserve with one over the other.
When to reserve using a flight search site
Whether you end up reserving directly with a search site or not, it's always best to begin your research by checking search sites like Orbitz, Expedia, Kayak, Momondo because:
- They are an excellent starting point, offering an overview of the flights available on a variety of carriers.
- They also identify which airlines or which combination of unrelated airlines fly to which destinations.
- The search sites will show a variety of price options. They give an idea of price points – a starting point that you can use to begin price comparisons.
- Sometimes these third-party sites offer better travel rewards or loyalty points and if so, it may be the way to go.
- There are also times when you can score a better price using the third-party search site.
When to reserve directly with the airline
Once you know your preferred route and carrier options, always check the airline's site directly. This is important for finding the best pricing and options because:
- It's often easier to reschedule flights or make changes if you reserve directly with the carrier. The carrier is also more likely to consider changes when you need to fly due to an emergency.
- If you are a loyal Southwest Air traveler, you will need to search Southwest directly. Southwest and many other discount airlines do not permit robots to search their sites nor do they pay referral fees so you won't see them listed on amalgamated search sites or aggregators.
- If the airline pays a commission to travel search sites, then the search site's price will likely be higher than if you book directly with the airline. As well, be cautious of the price listed up front on the third-party site. Sometimes that upfront price looks best, but once you're at the reservation screen, you might see additional, unexpected fees. For instance, fees for seat selection and luggage, etc.
- If you are a tiered loyalty member, you can score upgrades and preferential treatment when booking directly.
- If you're using loyalty points to book the flight, you need to either reserve directly with the airline or with the points provider (for instance a credit card travel service). It's often easier to make flight changes when booking through a loyalty provider.
- When using a search site to book travel, you may not be eligible to receive the loyalty points that you would if booking directly with the airline. This depends though on the search site or the flight provider – just be aware and do your homework if points are important to you.
- When booking directly, you can always choose between various classes. Each class comes with its own advantages. Service levels can include discount economy, economy, premium economy, business and first. Search sites may or may not offer this option.
- You may not be able to book a seat or prepay for checked luggage when you book with an aggregator
No matter which search method you use…
Whether using a search site like Expedia or Kayak or Orbitz OR reserving directly with the airline, there's one app that helps speed up your search – Opptee™ Travel Search.
Opptee provides access to dozens of travel searches – search providers, aggregators and direct suppliers for flights, hotels, car rentals, cruises, vacation packages – all listed alphabetically and impartially.
With Opptee, just enter your travel details once and then choose from a selection of online travel search providers. Opptee auto-populates your travel details into each search (direct or third-party) to ensure your search is fast and complete.
Using Opptee Travel Search, you can browse more sites faster and more comprehensively. It's only then that you can see complete travel options. It's only then that you can reserve with confidence!

Early results from the Whisper instrument on Cluster: an overview

- *The Whisper team deeply regrets the untimely demise of Les Woolliscroft, PI of the DWP instrument and Co-I of Whisper. He played a key role in the Whisper instrument's capabilities.
Abstract. The Whisper instrument yields two data sets: (i) the electron density determined via the relaxation sounder, and (ii) the spectrum of natural plasma emissions in the frequency band 2–80 kHz. Both data sets allow for the three-dimensional exploration of the magnetosphere by the Cluster mission. The total electron density can be derived unambiguously by the sounder in most magnetospheric regions, provided it is in the range of 0.25 to 80 cm-3 . The natural emissions already observed by earlier spacecraft are fairly well measured by the Whisper instrument, thanks to the digital technology which largely overcomes the limited telemetry allocation. The natural emissions are usually related to the plasma frequency, as identified by the sounder, and the combination of an active sounding operation and a passive survey operation provides a time resolution for the total density determination of 2.2 s in normal telemetry mode and 0.3 s in burst mode telemetry, respectively. Recorded on board the four spacecraft, the Whisper density data set forms a reference for other techniques measuring the electron population. We give examples of Whisper density data used to derive the vector gradient, and estimate the drift velocity of density structures. Wave observations are also of crucial interest for studying small-scale structures, as demonstrated in an example in the fore-shock region. Early results from the Whisper instrument are very encouraging, and demonstrate that the four-point Cluster measurements indeed bring a unique and completely novel view of the regions explored.
Key words. Space plasma physics (instruments and techniques; discontinuities, general or miscellaneous)

I just don't have the resources to do this myself. But here's want I want.
— An intuitive, feature rich chart (a circle?) that you can study that gives the audience some sense of where each of the 100 Senators stand on impeachment.
— It would be set up so the one person who really has the most power in all of this — the 67th Senator — would be really focused on. Whomever falls as the 67 Senator relative to both party affiliation and alphabet would be the one person we would learn the most about.
— It would be dynamic, so it would change as we rush towards the actual trial and vote.
It's just too complicated for me to do alone because the vote is done in alphabetical order, so Republicans and Democrats are scattered across the actual vote as it proceeds.
Chop, chop, someone do this.
