Yodok III is a collaboration between Norwegians Tomas Järmyr (Zu, Barchan), Kristoffer Lo and Belgian minimal ambient artist Dirk Serries (Microphonics, Fear Falls Burning, VidnaObmana, etc). This album was recorded live and is set for release to coincide with their appearance on the Roadburn Festival.
It is unrushed and unhurried: a slow organic process moving toward a critical point. As each element comes into focus, at times imperceptibly and others in a noticeable way, the listener is held by the way in which the piece develops – bordering, eventually, on a tune rather than the beginnings of a melody. These possibilities of a tune start to make an appearance towards the twenty seven minute mark but are left incomplete and unformed. This passage is held for a few minutes heralding a completed state where all the instrumentation is active in a swirling, churning crescendo of the first peak or movement within the performance. The sounds drop away gracefully – drums and guitars diminish and disappear into the background leaving the sonorous, sombre and almost Gregorian tones of a tuba. Thus starts the second movement, a transformation of mesmerising and hypnotic solitude into the softly increasing cries of the returning guitar along with gentle and light splashes of percussion. The drone guitar is like a blast echoing through a mountainscape and suddenly becomes full bodied as the percussion punctuates the details adding drama and assurance that something is, again, being built up to. This last half hour brings the entire piece into context as the various strands slowly pull together weaving around each other toward a simple melody. It is as if you've reached the shore and are staring out over the undulating ocean with clouds drifting at an achingly slow pace across the sky as your heart beats with the rhythm of what you see before you. A perfect resolution to a journey started so long ago. AA split second you realise this was all recorded live as the crowd applaud Yodok III's accomplished performance.
This is a one track album of approximately sixty eight minutes duration which was recorded live and to many people this will sound like a tune that nearly happened but gave up before getting anywhere. For those of you who find a wealth of creativity within the outer limits of music (with a Rock/Metal bias) this will be as worthy a release as the recent Nadja album (Sievert). It has a subtlety and drama which Yodok III are well known for and will be a welcome addition for fans of the project as well as those who enjoy this type of extreme music. If you are a newcomer to this area of music this is an excellent entry point to start from.

You know that place that's so perfect you hesitate to tell your friends about it? For us, it's Healdsburg, California, a Sonoma County town located 60 miles north of San Francisco. Easily accessible just off the 101 and filled with great wine, great food, and great people, Healdsburg is an awesome Bay Area day trip destination/weekend away/place to retire as soon as possible.
We certainly aren't the first people to write about this place, though we might be the ones who frequent it the most (I got married here and make the trip often). We love it most for the relaxing vibe that makes you feel comfortable as soon as you arrive, and for the fact that you can do all the things you love to do in wine country, minus all the Napa crowds.
Here's our list of Healdsburg's greatest hits, should you find yourself making plans to visit (hint: you should).
The Spots
Flying Goat Coffee
To start the day or kick-start the afternoon just off the main square, the coffee at Flying Goat can't be beat. They serve both single-origin and blends, and the spacious cafe is a great place to just chill out for a bit
The Shed
The second you approach SHED you see why this place was awarded a James Beard Award for design. The modern space houses a perfect mix of fresh produce, gourmet coffee and tea, gardening equipment (hell yes), and wine country souvenirs you actually want to keep. They also have an excellent sit-down restaurant with a small, ingredient-inspired menu, including a list of house-made shrubs (vinegar-based cocktails.) Shop around, then sit down and eat a pizza and a salad.
Ah, the open-air bar on an indian summer afternoon – that's what day drinking is all about. Spoonbar serves some of Healdsburg's best cocktails, both the classics and soon-to-be new-school favorites. Garnishes are gorgeous arrays of fresh herbs and flowers, and when you're drinking them in the sun, you'll feel like you're winning life.
Campo Fina
Don't leave Sir Bubba Pancakes (or whatever your dog's name is) behind in dog- friendly wine country. Bring him along to Campo Fino's gorgeous backyard – grab a table or a spot at the bar – and enjoy fresh small plates and wood-fired pizza and a lively vibe. Bonus: bocce courts. Of course, Campo Fina is also a great option if you're dog-free, but let's be honest. That's no way to live.
Book ahead for a table at this laid-back but super-special spot, especially during peak season. Barndiva has been doing farm-to-table for years, and each dish is a colorful array of beautifully presented seasonal ingredients. For a more relaxed experience, the bar has open seating and its own food menu. Not to worry though, the delicious little flavor-bomb goat cheese croquettes with lavender honey are available on both menus. The house cocktails are spectacular and the wine list superb (and includes a special Barndiva blend from nearby Preston Vineyards.) Also, they put lobster on a benedict during brunch so...yeah.
Diavola Pizzeria & Salumeria
Technically not in Healdsburg, but a scenic short drive north to the adorable town of Geyserville brings you to Diavola, a rustic Italian restaurant in an old brick building. Pizza, pasta, a really pretty and appropriately rustic cheese plate, and a whole lot of salumi make this place a winner.
Medlock Ames Winery
This spot is a bit out of town but worth the ten-minute drive. Medlock Ames makes a variety of organic, artisanal wines (and olive oil!), and their care shows. Taste through the full list of offerings, and then chill out with a walk through their organic garden.
Bella Vineyards and Wine Caves
Dry Creek Valley equals California zinfandel, and I love this grape. There's no place better to taste several varieties than Bella Vineyards and Wine Caves. With its laid-back vibe, inviting lawn perfect for a picnic, and in- house chef, a tasting at Bella is a full experience. The team has also launched a second label, Ten Acre, featuring some whites and Pinots to complement the zin- and syrah-driven Bella label.
Unti Vineyards
Italian-style wines made with California fruit? Yes please. If you've ever read a California wine list, you've probably seen an Unti bottle or two. Make an appointment (same day is often ok) for a tasting, try a few wines you've probably never had, and make friends with owner/farmer George Unti who is often on hand.
Cartograph Wines
If you're in the mood for pinot noir, this is your place. Winemaker Alan Baker came to California from Minnesota to learn the industry and now sources and makes some spectacular pinot varieties. The tasting room is sleek, bright, and inviting, and whatever they're pouring from the tap is what you want.
Hawley Tasting Room & Gallery
This Hawley family is of no relation to me, but they might as well be given their amazing hospitality. It doesn't hurt that the father-sons team is producing spectacular, award-winning wines from viognier (my favorite) to sauvignon blanc to an excellent estate meritage blend.

...my reasoning behind this is that I haven't really talked a lot about myself for a while so I thought it would be a fun little experiment to post - once a week, for seven weeks - a series of essays about little ol' me: where I came from, my professional journey, being an editor, being a publisher ... and even my hopes and dreams for the future.
Hope you like!
Unlike some writers I actually became an editor very quickly after selling my first story. I wish I could say it was because of my staggering personal magnetism, overwhelming charisma, or through the brilliance of my talent as a writer but, to be honest, it literally was just matter of right time (1995, the beginning of what some call the "literary erotica" craze) and the right place (I knew someone who had already done books with the publisher).
My first anthology was called Eros Ex Machina: Eroticizing the Mechanical (later reprinted by the late, lamented Erotic Book Club as Sex Machines) and, if you couldn't tell from the title, is was about people having ... well, sex with all kinds of devices, gizmos, and do-hickeys.
As with a lot of things, once I'd done one another quickly followed – with a vengeance on my part: as of this writing I'd edited something like 25 anthologies, ranging from pure erotica like the three book deal I got with Sage Vivant (Amazons, Confessions, and Garden Of Perverse) to the non-smutty, and quite literary, pair of Mammoth Books I did with my pal, Maxim Jakubowski (Mammoth Books of Tales Of The Road and The Mammoth Book of Future Cops).
Now I really wish I could say that there is some kind of trick, or extra-normal talent to editing an anthology. Oh, sure, there are some things that take a bit of skill and training – which I'll touch on in a sec – but, by and large, an editor's job boils down to reading, and then selecting, stories.
Of course just this simple part of the job can be the most problematic: what I like, after all, is often light years away from what you might like. My usual rule of thumb when selecting stories is to look for an author who, first of all, is clearly having fun with the habitually crazy-ass theme I've given them, secondly, knows how to write, and – last but not least – tells a good story.
It shocks people when tell them that, usually, when I edit an erotic-themed anthology, I pay little or no attention to the sex itself. In fact I typically skim over that part – focusing instead on what the writer is trying to say and how they are saying it.
As I like to tell people in my Sex Sells: Writing and Selling Erotica class – and have said in my "Confessions Of A Literary Streetwalker" column for the incredible, and invaluable, Erotica Readers and Writers site (now – commercial starts – assembled in my new book How To Write And Sell Erotica – commercial ends): a good sex story has to be a good story, beyond anything else. In fact when I make notes on submissions the worst comment I can make on a story is "just porn:" meaning that there is nothing in the story but page after page of bump-grindy ... and nothing else.
Beyond that I usually select stories that give the book some range and variety – within the limits set by the project, of course. I'd like to say that I don't pick stories because the author may or may not be famous but (sigh) I have to be honest that unless it is a very poor story a 'name' can actually help sell a book. But that does not mean that I only take stories with this in mind – in fact most of the stories I feel are the best are often written by writers who, like I said, are having a fun time with the theme and know that an erotic story is not just about sex.
In addition to being an editor I am, of course, a writer so I really try to be the editor I'd like to be dealing with when I'm wearing that other hat – and because of that I am -- or try really hard to be -- a kind, polite, and conscientious editor: I answer every email, no matter how silly or even insulting, and I always send out rejection letters even though it is a very painful process ... because I am too well aware how much those things can hurt. But I also take a certain amount of pride in sending out nice rejection letters – if there are such things.
As a writer as well as an editor I can tell you right off the bat that treating an editor as an enemy, approaching them like they are out to steal your work or whatever, is not the way to go. If someone I reject reacts rudely ... I wish I could say that I turn the other cheek but, honestly, I doubt I will take anything by that author in the future. Life is too short to deal with prima-donnas and, besides, there are usually stories just a good waiting in the wings.
It's a maybe-silly point of pride with me that many people I've rejected have actually become friends – and, as such, while it won't change a bad story into an accepted one – it does mean I might actually try and help them with their work, or at least encourage them to keep writing.
What can be frustrating about being an anthology editor – please allow me to vent here – is that very, very few reviewers know how to judge them. The fact is that an editor often has to take what they get – or they've tried to create a spread of approach, style, content, etc. to make the book as well-rounded as possible – a fact lost on many reviewers, who forget this fact and pan a book because a few stories didn't work for them or because they feel the quality of the stories wasn't up-to-par.
As a writer as well as an editor has also made me very sensitive to bad anthology editors, and so I try very hard act like they do. As I already mentioned, I always reject – even though it may be a painful thing to do – and I when I say a story has been accepted then it's been accepted: I don't play games with short-lists or change my mind once I've told the author.
I also feel that an author's work, and voice, is their own, and so I will rarely ask for any kind of rewrite – especially around the plot. As I writer I honestly can't stand editors who think that, because they are The Editor, that gives them the right to dink with an author's work – with or without their permission. For me, being an editor just means I'm an administrator of sorts, that my name on the book basically means I created the crazy theme of the book and picked the stories. That's why I try and downplay myself when I talk about my anthologies and instead focus on the authors who contributed their wonderful stories: it's far more their book than it is mine.
Also being on both sides of the fence has made me very vocal about editors who I feel have let their egos get in the way of the project: I do not play favorites when I talk about my books – choosing to mention one author over another – and I always, to repeat myself a bit, do a book with an eye on being the editor I'd like to deal with as a writer.
Now even though I said that approaching an editor as if they are some kind if enemy, or reacting poorly in regards to acceptance/rejection, contract terms and all that stuff that does not mean as a writer should not have some say in how things are done – but it's far better to do what I do, as a writer, when I come across an editor who is not being either professional or even just kind: I simply don't send them any more stories for any of their projects – and I tell my other writer friends about my experiences.
In the end, being an editor has been a unique and (to use a cliché) eye-opening experience and, I sincerely hope, has made me respect writers even more. It means a lot to me that writers say that they like submitting to my books – accepted or not – and that I have a certain amount of respect among writers for being understanding and supportive.
For me, that is a successful anthology: not sales, or reviews, but that the writers in the book had a good time dealing with me but even-more had a fun time exploring the crazy idea I set before them and had a blast writing their stories.
Like I said: my name might be on the cover but it is – always – the authors who make an anthology ... and they are the ones deserving of not just recognition but also respect.

Here we have two completely random people: Anna en Ben. Anna's birthday is in February, while Ben's birthday is in April.
Today (15 March 2015) I take Anna's age, Ben's age, Anna's year of birth, and Ben's year of birth, and add all of 'em together.
This results in one number. What is it?

CSS selectors tell the browser where to apply the web fonts you're using, as well as the weight and style of the font to use for the text.
The Web Projects page lists the CSS font-family name, numerical weight, and font style for each font in the project. Once you've included the embed code in your document, use these font-family names in the CSS to apply the fonts to the text. For example:
h1 { font-family: "proxima-nova", sans-serif; }
If a user's browser doesn't support web fonts or they don't load for any reason, the fallback fonts in the CSS stack will be used instead.
The font stack should contain at least one fallback font that is uniformly available across platforms (like Georgia or Arial), followed by a generic font-family name (like serif or sans-serif). If the browser can't find the first font, then it will try the second font, and so on.
You can specify font-weights other than "normal" and "bold" by using numeric font-weight values in the CSS. The numeric values most frequently correspond to these weights:
- 100 = thin
- 200 = extra-light
- 300 = light
- 400 = normal, book
- 500 = medium
- 600 = demi-bold
- 700 = bold
- 800 = heavy
- 900 = black
You can find the numeric values for all of the fonts in your project on the Web Projects page.
h1 { font-weight: 100; }
Internet Explorer 8 loads a maximum of four weights per family, and using two closely-related weights (e.g., 400 and 500) may result in only one weight loading correctly. Adobe Fonts serves variation-specific font-family names to those versions of the browser to manage both of these bugs.
The variation-specific name should be added at the beginning of a font-family stack as needed, before the main family name:
#post-title { font-family: "proxima-nova-n6","proxima-nova", sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: 600; }
The names consist of the normal font-family name, followed by a dash, followed by a font variation description (or FVD). For example, the variation-specific name for proxima-nova that contains the normal 600 weight font is proxima-nova-n6.
The variation-specific name will be undefined in browsers that don't have these issues, so they will use the full family name that comes second in the stack.

A new wave of technology will be affecting almost every industry in the months to come: virtual reality. In just three years, an entirely new digital and media ecosystem has come into being based on VR goggles with applications not only in the area of gaming and entertainment, but also in industrial environments. Concrete applications have been tested in various industries over the past few months in the areas of product marketing, training, product design, business presentations and trade fairs.
Dr. Michael Gerards, Executive Director at present4D
present4D is a leader in the field of multi-media services, software and consulting with a focus on the implementation of virtual reality applications in industrial and non-gaming settings.
The topic of virtual reality has given rise to a whole new digital and media ecosystem with so-called VR goggles in the past three years with applications not only in the area of gaming and entertainment, but also in industrial settings as well as product marketing and design. Initial applications have been tested in the past few months not only for company presentations or trade fairs, but also as sales and training tools or for recruiting in the automotive, engineering, communication, advertising, television and film industries.
After all, virtual reality puts you right in the middle of the action.
Complex products and training content can be presented in an even more vivid and tangible way using this technology as compared to conventional presentations at events, fairs or in discussions with customers.
High resolution displays, extremely sensitive motion sensors and the rapid development of computing power in recent years have made way for a new generation of VR goggles, which viewers with an extremely strong sense of presence in the virtual world by tricking the brain's orientation system so that they truly believe they are actually in another location. The viewer feels that they are being teleported into another world.
With their first commercial VR goggles, companies like Oculus, Sony, HTC and Samsung are addressing the mass markets such as the gaming or entertainment industries. However, this technology can also be used in non-gaming settings to quickly and efficiently generate added value.
The first steps
The travel industry, for example, is currently testing the extent to which it is possible to make a customer's decision-making process easier and more exciting before making travel reservations in a travel agency or through an online travel portal.
The same concept is also being used as a marketing tool to tour real estate that hasn't yet been built, or even as a property configuration tool for architects or real estate agents. Being able to take a tour of one's future property and even adding furnishings before buying creates the best possible experience for potential buyers or investors. The automotive and aviation industries are currently testing precisely this technology as a sales and marketing tool and as a method for rapid prototyping and product design. The goal here consists of making work processes faster and more efficient.
Products are emotionalized
Unimagined possibilities are also arising in the area of engineering. Many early adopters present their large projects or their product portfolios at trade fairs or on site at their customers in virtual worlds and showrooms to provide potential buyers with a way to experience the project or product. This serves to emotionalize the presented products or services.
Impressive trade fair presentations
The Korean company Doosan is already successfully deploying virtual reality.
Together with present4D, Doosan can now provide its customers with impressions of ten power plants around the world. A plethora of information and videos can be viewed directly in 360-degree panoramas. This is very intuitive using VR goggles. And customers can truly emerge themselves in the peace and quiet of the product world even in hectic trade fair environments.
Employer branding and recruiting at trade fairs
Employees often lack a connection to a production site or research area. Virtual tours can provide these employees with a way to experience the complexity and quality of production and research in their own company. When it comes to recruiting, potential employees can take a tour of the working environments and be impressed by the company's innovative strength.
First steps in the world of VR
Even with relatively little effort and expense, it is possible to generate impressive VR worlds and integrate existing content, such as photos, videos, PowerPoint slides, graphics and animations. The attractive thing about VR is the fact that most VR applications can be constructed in a modular and scalable way. At the end of the day, the investment has to generate added value by increasing sales, making processes more efficient, reducing costs and enhancing the image of the company.
One of the biggest challenges for users consists of familiarizing themselves with this new technology and identifying the use cases relevant to the respective industry. This can only be achieved by way of professional consulting, strategy workshops and first VR projects. present4D provides an integrated range of services including its professional VR-Suite software, which can be used to create one's own VR worlds – even for fascinating trade fair presentations – without programming knowledge.

Dublin bound She's A Star takes in Dundalk win
She's A Star (nearside)
©Healy Racing Photos By Thomas Weekes
The Noel Meade trained She's A Star gained a fifth career win in the Marshes Shopping Centre Handicap at Dundalk this evening, when battling gamely for a short-head win under jockey Shane Foley.
The daughter of Well Chosen is better known as a hurdler but was adding this evening's win to a previous flat maiden win gained at Navan in October 2016, and following today's win, Meade stated "she's run a few good races but a lot of the time they haven't been going quick enough and she's run very free and takes a lot out of herself.
"She goes to Leopardstown for the mares handicap hurdle at the Dublin Festival meeting next month. She ran well at Leopardstown at Christmas but she was too free and was getting too much daylight.
"Philip (Meade, part owner) is no relation but he's from the next parish and has a huge business supplying potatoes and vegetables to the likes of Lidl and Aldi."

In early 1942 the Japanese set their sights on capturing Papua & New Guinea.
A series of defensive battles at Milne Bay and along the Kokoda Track, as well as the naval victories in the Coral Sea and at Midway Island put the Japanese on the back foot.
Then followed a series of Allied offensive operations that drove the Japanese back and provided the springboard for General Douglas MacArthur's successful advance into the Netherlands East Indies and the Philippines.
This one day conference examines this critical period of Australia's military history. This conference will include fresh analysis and insights from a highly informed and relevant range of historians and veterans.
Dr Adrian Thelfall, author of Jungle Warriors: From Tobruk to Kokoda and beyond, how the Australian Army became the world's most deadly jungle fighting force is the keynote speaker.
Dr Ian Pfennigwerth will examine the naval aspects of the campaign, James Bowen the land aspects and Dr Mark Johnson the air force aspects.
Neil Sharkey and David Howell will consider how the campaign is remembered and interpreted.
And most significantly, a panel of veterans from these battles will relate their experiences and perspectives.
The conference, convened by Military History and Heritage Victoria Inc., will be held at the Pompey Elliot Memorial Hall at the Camberwell RSL on Saturday 16 April 2016.
The full conference program is attached. Entry fee $50 for MHHV members and concession, $75 for General Admission. The price includes morning and afternoon tea and light lunch.

The Swiss Ambassador's Patriotic Home
You saw the outside of the Swiss Ambassador's residence in My Great Outdoors: The Swiss Ambassador's Surreal Space. Now we're showing the interior, with its environmentally friendly and very patriotic decor.
The coffee table is shaped in a cross, echoing the Swiss flag. Pops of red mixed with white, black, and neutrals also represent the Swiss flag. A wall of the reading room shows photographs of famous Swiss people, like the artist Alberto Giacommetti. The residence was designed by architectural firms Rüssli Architekten (Lucern, Switzerland) and Steven Holl Architects (New York), who collaborated to unanimously win a design competition for the Swiss building in 2001.

Bihar probes for 'Ranjit connection' in state medical exams
Rabri Devi Govt has sought a list of those students who had taken admission to six medical colleges of the state under CBSE quota this year.india Updated: Nov 26, 2003 20:44 IST
Alarmed over the Bihar links to the Common Admission Test (CAT) scam, the Rabri Devi Government has sought a list of those students who had taken admission to the six medical colleges of the state under the CBSE quota this year.
The CBSE has 15 per cent quota in these colleges.
Medical Education Department secretary Afzal Amanullah on Monday sent a missive to the principals of all the medical colleges to furnish the Plus II marksheets and permanent address of the students to the department at the earliest.
The Government move follows amid reports that the kingpin of the question paper leak racket, Dr Ranjit Singh, alias Ranjit Don, had helped many of his clients, kin and the wards of friends to get admission to various medical colleges.
The Government apparently wants to ascertain whether anyof them had got through the tough medical test through 'Ranjit connection'. Department sources said a list of those medicos who had performed badly in the Plus II examinations prior to their medical test as well as those belonging to the native region of Ranjit would be scrutinised in particular.
According to reports, Ranjit had helped at least 30-40 youths of his native Lodipur village in Nalanda district qualify in different competitive examinations.
The Government intends to hand over the list of candidates to the CBI, which is investigating the case. Bihar DGP Dhruv Prasad Ojha said that the Bihar police would cooperate with the CBI to unravel the mystery. "We will provide all the information that we have on such gangs," he said.
The State police also suspect Ranjit's hand in the recent leak of question papers for the civil court recruitment examinations in Bettiah and Saharsa, which were later cancelled. The district and sessions judges of both the districts have already been quizzed by the police in this connection.
Meanwhile, the CBI is said to be on the lookout for the video cassette of Ranjit's wedding to establish his links with the influential people of the State. 'The Don' had got married to a girl from Kathouli village of Nalanda on March 5 this year and hosted a grand reception in Patna. Many bigwigs, including ministers, leading doctors and police officers had attended the wedding reception.

A marquee matchup takes place in Colorado as the Colorado Avalanche get set to do battle with the New York Islanders Thursday night.
Colorado comes in with some solid momentum as they shut out the defending champs in the Chicago to finish off their road trip.
New York had their 10 game point streak snapped behind a 5-1 loss to Florida in a performance where they looked sluggish and very fatigued at times.
New York
The New York Islanders have certainly been one of the more impressive teams this season.
Their 10 game point streak have them now just 1 point behind the 2nd place Rangers and 5 points behind the Washington Capitals. They do come in off a very disappointing loss as Florida dismantled them in every way en route to a 5-1 win.
Brock Nelson put his 2nd goal in four games against Florida, but that was all the Islanders had going for them. The Islanders have averaged 2.72 goals per game this season, so games like that are very rare.
The Islanders key to success has been their PK. They've killed off their last 24 penalty kill attempts.
New York brings in a 7-4-1-2 record on the road this season.
The Avalanche are finally starting to turn a corner themselves, thanks to the play between the pipes.
Semyon Varlamov had 29 saves in a 3-0 shutout against Chicago as he continues to be as dominant as ever this season. Varlamov has stopped 189-of-196 shots he's faced over the past 6 games. With his play, Colorado has rattled off 6 wins over their last 8.
Matt Duchene has continued to be the spark for Colorado offensively. Duchene has tallied 15 goals and added 11 assists over his last 22 games.
The Avs get set to play 11 of their next 13 games inside the Pepsi Center, a place that hasn't treated them well this season. Colorado is just 4-7-1-0 at home this season and are allowing 3.42 goals against
Colorado's 4 home wins are tied for lowest in the league.

Party Like It's
January 31, 2012
The party went quite well, if I do say so myself. As parents dropped off their children Steve told them that we hoped to have the movie finished by around 8 but that they (the parents) were welcome to come back a little early and join us for a beer or a glass of wine or, um, water or chocolate milk or whatever and chat with other parents from the school. A surprising (to me - I took the under on Steve's bet) number of people took us up on this - possibly because the movie did not actually end until 8:30 and thus we were holding their kids hostage - so we wound up with a mini grown-up party in addition to our movie party and it was very nice to put faces to the license plates at which I have so often shaken my fist.
-actually I am kidding. Patrick's old school parking lot was filled with the dregs of humanity (abounding in line jumpers and speeders and handicapped parking space stealers) but this new place is a miracle of both efficiency and courtesy and I did not grudge them my wine or my chocolate milk -
Since so many parents came back early we only had two and a half hours until reinforcements arrived and it was all fine. The pre-Celexa me would have freaked out anyway but the normal me recognized that the entertaining bar for the twelve and under set is pretty low and, anyway, they were all just so excited to be together and not at school that they barely noticed the food or the movie or anything. This has been a realization that took me forever to assimilate but has been incredibly liberating: people (big and little) just like being together and appreciate hospitality in pretty much any form. You do not have to meet each and every dietary need. You do not have to dust the antimacassars and bust out the good plastic glasses. Just invite people and be happy they came and it tends to be a pretty good party.
One guest has severe food allergies and arrived with his epi-kit. Just as I was worrying what to feed him he solved my dilemma by explaining that I shouldn't bother because he never eats anything away from home. I said, "Oh? Never? Nothing?" and he said, "Would you if someone not knowing what an egg looks like meant you COULD DIE?" and I thought awww it's like a whole classful of Patricks bless their teacher's heart and I said, "No, I wouldn't. Water?" He declined.
One kid had already seen Ghostbusters and hated it so he wandered upstairs when the movie started. I took him to Patrick's room to find a book and then he and I sat on the couch together and read in companionable silence for about an hour. In twenty years of entertaining he was, without question, my favorite guest ever.
As people showed up we put on that collection of Pixar shorts that someone mentioned, then broke for pizza and carrots and cookies once everyone had arrived (thirteen in all.) After a loud but tidy dinner (at the conclusion of which over 90% of the children picked up their plates and cups and cleared their places - Steve and I almost fell over in awe) they trooped back downstairs for the the main feature which was... Ghostbusters. We could have gone with practically any of your other suggestions but just as I was heading off to Blockbuster to peruse the classics for things like Willow and The Last Starfighter my friend Noelle reminded me that Blockbuster is going out of business and I would be lucky to buy discounted bright blue shelving there let alone rent a movie. D'oops. So Ghostbusters it was and THANK YOU for the heads up on the poltergeistian s-e-x because no one I consulted had remembered the ribaldry. Being forewarned enabled us to forearm Steve with the remote control. So he established himself in a corner during the movie and whenever something happened that might cause random parents to send us heavily underlined copies of the Bible he created a technical difficulty complete with tipsy cameraman.
(I actually wondered if the reason why none of us remember the sex scenes was because our parents had done the same thing lo these many years ago. Like, no one has ever seen the unexpurgated Ghostbusters because generations of parents have frantically tripped over the cord to the Betamax just as things started to get steamy.)
I went with the carrots, by the way, because you told me to and because you were right: carrots are easier than salad. I am not entirely convinced that salad would have been universally reviled (but but but my kids eat it - I mean, except Caroline who has never eaten a green vegetable in her entire life and views our nightly salad like so many caterpillars on her plate) but I also know that no quantity of personal experience can qualify a person to predict what children in toto will eat. Take Oliver Twist, for example. I'll bet that just as he was up there asking for more some orphan in the corner was poking dubiously at her bowl saying, "I don't like this kind of gruel."
But yeah, Caroline won't eat vegetables except maybe carrots despite having them on her plate every day for the past seven hundred years. It doesn't matter if they are steamed or roasted or raw or cut a la Parenting magazine into whimsical shapes like zebras and the Arc de Triomphe. I have served them with dip and butter and bribes and... nothing doing. Edward, in contrast, loves vegetables. He can eat an entire bunch of asparagus by himself. He has been known to clasp his hands together and say, "Ohhhhhh zukeemee!" He can polish off a pint of tomatoes, two ears of corn and as much broccoli as can be wedged into a plastic produce bag. And Patrick, who got the full force of our first child only child why won't he eeeeeaaat angst still eats exactly what we fretted over when he was three: red pepper, carrots, salad and raw spinach - broccoli and asparagus only under protest. Potatoes, never.
Good lord where was I? Oh right I served carrots to strange children and some of them ate them and some of them did not and I did not really care one way or another. I didn't even care - much - when the pediatrician asked Caroline at her four year check if she eats vegetable and Caroline turned her head into her shoulder and did a full-on silent screen shudder and said, "Vegetables! Oh NO!" And then I had to listen to a lecture that was directed at her but really at me about how she needed to be presented with a daily assortment of fresh n' healthy blah et ceteras.
Oh hey, did I ever tell you about their four year appointments? They were pretty humdrum so probably not. In terms of size Caroline is 25/25 and Edward is 50/50-75. They tested vision and hearing but since Edward already sees an eye doctor annually for the iris cysts that blinded him as a newborn (he's fine) and has seen an audiologist after his ear glue issues (also fine) there was nothing new there. Caroline shook hands with the pediatrician and asked how his kids were doing. He said, "Fine. How are you parents?" She said, "Oh they're good." When we left he said that were both fine, healthy and developing normally; Caroline scarily so. She really is the most social of butterflies and we are so not and I think scary is a good word for it because the rest of us find her willingness to stop in a restaurant and admire someone's baby rather frightening.
So here's a discussion question: what happened to calling adults by their titles? I called every adult I knew Mrs or Mr and the only exceptions were family who became Aunt First Name. That went for my parents' friends as well as my friends' parents. I actually rented a room from my best friend's Dad for a few months after college and I still cannot imagine calling him Harry. But no one at Patrick's party even attempted a Mrs. I don't mind, mind you, and I'm sure if I had said "You may call me Mrs Danvers" while clanking the ring of keys around my belt they all would have done so but I am curious. Is this regional? National? Do they do this even in the - pearl clutch - South?

Lucha Underground Season 3 Episode 12 Results (11/23): New Lucha Underground Champion Crowned
This week's episode of Lucha Underground had so many things to be excited about. A Trios Championship match, the showdown between Killshot and Dante Fox and the much-anticipated main event between Sexy Star and Johnny Mundo for the Lucha Underground Championship; the card was stacked with potential show-stealers.
The show kicked off with a highlights package from last week's show that included a preview of the feud between Killshot and Dante Fox, The Black Lotus Triad's debut and Johnny Mundo's aspirations of becoming the LU Champion.
The cameras cut to the Temple where Matt Stryker and Vampiro did the customary introductions for this week's show. A video package of Sexy Star's momentous win at Aztec Warfare aired, where she became the first woman to hold the Lucha Underground Championship. Before the first match of the night got underway, the announcers reminded the fans that Sexy Star would be defending the title for the first time in the main event of the evening against Johnny Mundo – The Gift Of Gods Champion.
Aerostar, Fenix, and Drago vs. Mala Suerte, Paul London and Saltador (The Rabbit Tribe) (Lucha Underground Trio Championship match)
The most glaring moment of the match came right at the beginning when former WWE Superstar Paul London was introduced as a member of the Rabbit Tribe. Previously known as the man with the black top hat, Paul London looked suave dressed in a white jumpsuit. His faction that included Mala Suerte and Saltador, would be the synonym of unorthodox due to their off-beat in-ring gear. The Trios Champions made their way out next to defend the titles.
Tribe got the better of the champs in the early goings as they wore Fenix down in the middle of the ring while dancing around him. The scales tipped in the Champions' favour when Fenix began a take the offense to Suerte. Saltador and London denied Fenix the opportunity to tag in his partners when they displaced Aerostar and Drago off the apron. After the initial promise of a shift in momentum, everything got back to square one with the challengers taking it to Fenix all in tandem.
The highlight of the match was the overselling and the downright ridiculous antics of the Tribe all throughout the match. The champions got the upper hand after a dominant showing by the Tribe. They pulled off a couple of good moves together that ended with Saltador and Fenix battling out in the home stretch of the bout. In the meantime, Kobra Moon came out to watch Drago by ringside. Fenix got the better of Saltador after a string of counters to roll him up for the three-count.
Result: Aerostar, Drago and Fenix def. The Rabbit Tribe (Mala Suerte, Paul London and Saltador) to retain the Lucha Underground Trios Championship
The post-match segment had Kobra Moon telling Drago outside Dario Cueto's office that he would be left with no option but to bow down to the queen.

I don't know what is weighing so heavily on your heart this Christmas, but I'll keep you and your loved ones in my prayers, reindog and all. We just got some bad health news about my father that is casting a dark cloud on our holidays as well. I suppose the upside is that it is refocusing us on what is REALLY important -- the time spent with loved ones, the memories inscribed in our hearts to cherish for years to come, and appreciating the many ways in which we are truly blessed. I wish your family peace, love, health, spiritual riches, and the strength to weather whatever storm you're caught up in. Merry Christmas, Kerry!ReplyDelete

Water Resources in Jordan
This is the first comprehensive, multi-disciplinary book to address water policy in Jordan. Edited by the former Minister of Water and Irrigation of Jordan, with contributions by other prominent Jordanian and international water professionals, this volume covers such areas as the population-water resources equation in Jordan, institutional and legal frameworks, the data systems used for the assessment and formulation of water policy, water allocations and uses in municipal, industrial, and agricultural sectors, social and environmental issues, and water conflict with Jordan's neighbors. The book is a must for readers interested in Middle East politics and the critical nature of water issues in the region. The book notes the importance of interaction with the outside world to augment water resources through trade, making the experience of Jordan relevant to other developing regions where water is scarce. It introduces the term 'shadow water' to mean the scarce indigenous water resources that the import of agricultural and industrial commodities saves or replaces. The book shows how financially profitable it can be to treat water as a tradable commodity, to be exchanged peaceably across international borders. Haddadin and his distinguished contributors bring the water conflicts between Jordan and its neighbors, Israel and Syria, into sharp focus. The book includes a historical perspective on the development of water policies in Jordan and explores the significance of water in the religious, social, and political life of the country.

The Uses and Disadvantages of History for Life
... and in this case death:
A UNIVERSITY student died after being hurled 100ft through the air by a medieval-style "trebuchet" catapult, an inquest heard yesterday.
Kostydin Yankov, 19, an Oxford University student, suffered multiple injuries and serious spinal damage when he fell short of the safety net.
. . . . . . . . . .
The device is based on the trebuchets used in medieval times to hurl rocks and dead animals over castle walls during sieges. It uses a tonne of lead weight to give a see-saw effect and propel volunteers hundreds of feet into the air.

The largest building in Yangambi faces the riverfront and was perviously a maintenance centre and repair garage for the entire facility. It now lies abandoned and derelict. .Yangambi Research Station is the former Belgian headquarters for all major scientific ecological, biological and agricultural research in Africa between the 1930's and 1960. It stretches for 33 km inland from the river and contains 250 residential houses and many research buildings and offices, including a herbarium and library. At it's height approximately 250 scientists and 500 technicians were based here along with 1000 more Belgian workers ranging from doctors to bricklayers. With the families and constant visitors to the station included the total population of would have ranged in the several thousands. Abandonment began in 1960 with independence and although Congolese attempted to maintain Yangambi, sometimes in co-operation with the Belgians, the facility began to fall into disrepair through the 70's and 80's. War in the 1990's halted all potential for progress and for the past decade a skeleton crew has made a futile attempt to stave off further decline.Add to Lightbox Download

Project information
"A Journey of a Lifetime"
Commissioned for Opera Brava's sensational and groundbreaking work in primary schools.This Opera will update the original story of Pilgrims Progress with relevance for children in modern society,encouraging moral discussion,awareness of personal safety,freedom of choice and making right decisions.
September 2014 - November 2015
Charity information: Opera Brava Ltd
There are several problems that need addressing within school & social development of young people. Opera Brava aim to develop civic & social responsibility via operas that illustrate strong moral & ethical frameworks & integration. Develop confidence, self worth & discipline with immediate & lasting effect on school & home lives. Develop new skills; musical & instrumental, arts & crafts, teamwork & creative thinking. Encouragement of literacy skills, development & appreciation of storytelling.
Workshops are carefully planned, maximising the time permitted & the personnel available so that each child is active & occupied constantly. The workshops are sub-divided to allow for: teaching music, instrumental examples, prop making, drama & rehearsing & ultimately bringing all the facets together for a production. New found interests & skills, combined with a sense of pride & achievement contribute to reducing the likelihood of children in deprived areas falling into anti-social behaviours.
Aim 1
To launch a new Opera for schools involving professionals which will then be available nationwide.
Activities» To introduce opera to school children in a particapative and exciting way enabling them to see and hear professionals and work with them.
» Construct, rehearse & develop a new opera that is tailored to each school & to use modern technology in rehearsals, creating new social opportunities.
» Perform \"Journey of a Lifetime\" in either theatres, schools or communities, developing & furthering the knowledge, interest & appreciation of Opera.
What success will look like
Success will be a large audience at the worldwide launch in a theatre and numerous schools enquiring about the project for 2015. Positive press & Arts Council coverage.
Beneficiaries are school children between the ages of 7 and 13. Many schools Opera Brava work with have high numbers of children from deprived ares, who lack the opportunity to experience and be involved in the performing arts. This project is designed to be inclusive children of all cultures, backgrounds and abilities are integrated into production and performance teams. The overall experience is transformational in the children's lives & has a lasting effect in their educational development.
There are always risks to any project but the main one is a lack of funding. Opera Brava have been working with schools since 1988, in over 250 schools working with at least 25,000 children & many more seeing the operas with parents & families. We have a wonderful composer & several singers & designers keen to start on this project & I have numerous artists who would like to be involved if the opportunity arises.Two schools re available for the first performance thus covering every eventuality.
We have been working with The John Lewis Foundation for over 20 years and have given a full report both financial and teacher letters every year. Also we invite sponsors and donors to attend rehearsals and performances whenever possible. Numerous supporters have attended our events over the years.

The launch of this project will be at The Leatherhead Theatre, Leatherhead, Surrey with one of two local schools in the area. Parts of Leatherhead are very deprived and Opera Brava are committed to working in schools that requre extra music and drama that will help have a lasting effect on school and home lives. we have been discussing this project with The Roundhouse in Camden for a major launch but this is in its early stages.
The immediate beneficiaries of the opera will be the children taking part in the world premiere. However the rest of the school will see a dress rehearsal & their will be two public performances. In the long term thousands of children will benefit from this production over a ten year period & many tens of thousands will see it. There is a long term vision to enable the opera to go Nationwide & be included in the National Curriculum rather like our current piece The Lion the Witch & the Wardrobe.
Why Us?
Why Us?
Now in it's 27th year Opera Brava have consistently been working with hundresds of schools and thousands of children. We have worked on projects that required only a few children to large scale works at The Queen Elizabeth Hall South Bank with over 200 children, full Orchestra 10 singers and an actor. We have been developing our works over the years and tailoring to the needs of children and challenging them both musically & dramatically. Heads all over the country have been singing our praises.

Bronek Pomorski
Artistic Director. Bronek has the vision and the drive behind the project. He is an experienced Opera Director who loves working with children.
Jenny Gould
Composer: Jenny Gould a young talented contempory composer with a rare gift for writing both melodic and evocative music for young voices.
Cost per child, per participation day:
"We believe that both The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspian proved to be transformational for the pupils in our school."

For the first time in ages I'm actually doing a weekly project life post instead of a monthly recap. Proof positive the life is starting to settle down and that it does get better after 8 weeks of newborn baby.
I added a facebook conversation between Paul and I regarding Liam's big move into 3-6 month clothing. To be fair, he still can fit into 0-3 onesies. It's his legs that are too long and chubby for 0-3, which isn't helped by the fact that we've officially transitioned into full time cloth diapering. For those of you who've never seen a baby in cloth diapers getting dressed (I hadn't in ages) the cloth diaper (aka fluff butt) is thickly padded, leaving baby with a much larger nether region. Yes, you can make all the jokes you want about it, I've heard them all from Paul already!
Point being, we have an odd collection sizes at the moment and we're sort of marveling over the fact that he's growing so quickly. Everyone forewarns you, but damn it's fast!
Also added a "Recently Reading" card (again, like the Facebook and the News cards) this was a freebie online that I downloaded and forgot to save the link for credit sake. I will get better at this one day. One day. You know, when baby mama brain isn't eating up all the extra brain cells!
In other news, the big event of the week was going to Stittsville for Paul's family golf tournament. Normally I don't go to these but with Liam around I have to admit that the idea of spending 2.5 days alone was horribly daunting so I opted to join in this time around.
The younger cousins were glad to spend time fawning over Liam (I write that with love and gratitude as it meant that I spent most of Saturday in baby free mode, which was a lovely break). Honestly, I think the hardest parts of motherhood for me thus far are the isolation and the constant "on-ness" of it. I've been working on the isolation (which helps as it comes with the by-product of getting breaks), but the hours of free family love and babysitting was super amazing.
Other than that, I added a 6 x 12 insert to record Liam's first captured smile. It's a good one! Well, it's a good one in my books. I love his coy, side smile. It's pure joy with a little bit of mischief. Totally rocks and melts my heart every time I see it.
In the back of the insert I stored all the Welcome Baby cards we've received for Liam. This might end up overly padding my album but I figure that it'll be something lovely for him to see later in life.
And that's it. The first week of September done. It was a good week. We had some rough patches but in general Liam has been settling into his skin and we're feeling more comfortable in our role as parents. We're getting to know each and there are growing pains in that process, but for now I can say this: the awkward introductions seem to be taken care of.

Hey again Sam!
Will have to keep this quick as I'm at work. But I had to post this.
So National Media, a republican polling firm, did a study of sports fandom as broken down by political affiliation. Most results were predictable. Republicans/Centrists dominate most fan bases. Except for a handful: NBA, Tennis, Soccer, and
professional wrestling.
Think about that. Pull a section of a crowd at a RAW taping and pull a section of a crowd at a baseball game, and there is a strong probability there are more liberals in the former.
Now there is somewhat of an easy way out for this : they're predominantly young, which means they skew liberal and seldom vote, case closed.
But there is more to this. First, there was strong enough interest in this class at a higher-educational institution like MIT, whose makeup is pretty liberal. Deadspin (part of the Gawker blog network popular with the hipster crowd) has a Dead Wrestler of the Week feature, drawing in tens of thousands of pageviews (most usually get <10K). Most wrestling fans/writers/bloggers we interacted with were liberal or measured and apolitical at most. We spent months dissecting the theatrical aspects of wrestling events, which can be classified as a pretty liberal pursuit. The wrestlers who are the most over aren't those with the best moveset and the clearest identification with the concepts of good and evil. It's Randy Orton, HHH, CM Punk, and Cena v. 3.0, the gray characters who can deliver a great 5-minute rant.
Whether this result has shifted over time now that the WWE style of presentation has become the norm, and everyone is generally in on the act now, I cannot say. But it is worth mentioning:
Wrestling is not the regional cultural relic of good ol' boy tea partiers. Nor can it just be classified as the new haven for disaffected youth. It speaks to something much more broad.

I love comic books. Have since the age of 6. Today, during the numbness of my day job, I mentally wandered off and compiled a list of my favorite comics that had strong science fiction themes. In no certain order and chosen with no other analysis or criteria than "stuff I like," I hereby tender my list:
Superman. It's often easy to forget that the prototype for the modern comic book hero is himself a stranger to this world. Last son of a dead planet, he owes all that he is (physically, anyway) to alien genetics.
Hawkman. Tough-as-nails cop from the planet Thanagar fights super-baddies like the Manhawks...and keeps a really cool ship in Earth orbit.
Green Lantern. A dying alien gives Hal Jordan a power ring, making him the Green Lantern for our sector of space. Thus is born one of comics' greatest characters (sorry George.)
Adam Strange. An archeologist is whisked away to the planet Rann. He matriculates into the role of shepherd for the planet's population (especially for Alanna, nudge-nudge, wink-wink, knowwhatImean) and protects them from threats to their world. Strange has no super powers. Instead, he relies on his wits, his Ivy League education, and a really cool retro-1950s jetpack and laser gun to get him out of trouble.
Camelot 3000. It is the year 3000 (probably where the title came from.) Earth has been invaded and occupied by aliens. It is said that Britain's greatest hero will return in her greatest hour of need. That time is now.
Come on! What's not to like? Once you get a look at that delicious Brian Bolland artwork of Excalibur rising up out of the waters of a nuclear plant (I think), you'll be hooked.
Shazam! While not infused with an overabundance of science fiction memes, this book is included here for the pure presence of Mr. Mind.
He could be one of the greatest characters in the history of comic books. Mind is a worm who hails from a distant planet and is possessed of advanced intelligence and hypnotic/telepathic abilities. And I must not forget the Crocodile Men from the planet Punkus. Dope.
Fantastic Four. Given their powers by the very cosmic rays of space, Marvel's first superteam faces threats to the entire planet, such as Galactus, Dr. Doom, and Johnny Storm's terrible rap song from the 90s cartoon ("Flame on, flame on, flame on and on and on...")
Captain Marvel. As Mar-Vell, he was a son of the Kree Empire, sent to Earth as both spy and saboteur. In time, his good nature prevailed he became one of the greatest characters of the Marvel Universe.
Warlock. God-like in abilities, god-like in origins, his is an epic tale that is mythological in scope. This was yet another case of Jack Kirby exploring his spiritual side.
Nova. High school student Richard Rider (ahem...Spider-Man...ahem) is chosen at random by the alien Rhomann Dey, centurion of the Nova Corps of the planet Xandar (ahem...Green Lantern...ahem) to become the next Nova. As Nova, Rider carries out Dey's revenge against the space pirate Zorr and even stays on to fight crime.
Oh the derivations! But oh so much fun.
Shogun Warriors. Ok, so this one is kinda bad. Yet it is a delight in the reading. Giant robots built by ancient aliens fight a new battle against chaotic threats to the Earth. Strong daikaiju themes in this one and so spectacularly atrocious 70s dialogue.
Aside from G.I. Joe, this is the best comics series I've ever read based upon a toy line. Guess that's a bit like saying a punch in the nose is better than a kick to the nads, but there it is.
Star Wars. This is a series that is either loved or reviled by Star Wars fans. I appreciate it for its kitsch, its camp, and the fact that an absolutely amazing character had his genesis here. Ladies and gentlemen and anything else in between of the Internet, I give you...Jaxxon Rabbit:
Come on. He's nowhere near as insidious as Jar-Jar.
UFO and Flying Saucers. Through my surfing upon the zeroes and ones of our global computer network (translated: bored at work and a browser open before me), I came across this series from the old Gold Key line of comics. I must find and read the issues for obvious reasons.
In closing, I shall leave you with one last bit of comics-inspired artwork that will make you laugh and weird you out all at the same time. That's for you folks who haven't had that happen yet in the post.
