Mark 13:24-32
'They will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds great power and glory' (Mark 13:26)
Today is the last Sunday of Ordinary Time and as we swiftly approach the end of the Church's liturgical year our readings assume darker tones – we hear Jesus talking about the end of times, and we are told of ancient prophetic visions in Daniel about the Archangel Michael standing up for God's people facing great danger. As we read these texts in the aftermath of the murderous events of Friday night in Paris it would be easy to focus on the negatives, to wallow in the dark and morbid details foretelling gloom and destruction, or even more, to try and make dodgy connections between our texts and incomprehensible hatred of terrorism. However, our gospel, the Good News entrusted to the Church, is a message of hope for the future; therefore, we should try to interpret our readings according to hope, rather than according to gloom.
Yes, there are unsettling elements in our reading; mainly, these are the predictions about a time of suffering and about phenomenal signs in the heavens (Cf. Mark 13:24-25). However, we should put these elements in the context of the ancient world, where the prevailing culture expected the world to end in an abrupt, fiery way at the hands of God or a local deity. So once we put these elements within their context we are left with a strong affirmation that no matter what happens in the world, no matter what disaster befalls us or what atrocious crimes are being committed, the life-giving Word of Jesus remains for ever and that he will bring an end to every evil through his coming again. This is the message of hope for the future, and to this hope we must cling as tightly as we possibly can when the darkness of distress shock and seem to overcome us.
In our gospel Jesus draws a parallel between himself and the "Son of Man" described in the book of Daniel as the judge of all creation – though, as you can see, not in our first reading (Cf. Daniel 7:13-14). Jesus identifies himself with the "Son of Man" and so he reveals himself as the one appointed by the Father to bring all creation to a just and merciful judgment, and to eradicate all evil. So too our faith affirms of Jesus that
'He will come again in gloryto judge the living and the dead,and his kingdom will have no end.'
And, inspired by this faith and by today's reading a twelfth century hymn sings,
The world is very evil,The times are waxing late,Be sober and keep vigil,The judge is at the gate.The judge who comes in mercy,The judge who comes in might,Who comes to end the evil,Who comes to crown the right.
I suspect that oftentimes we forget about this important element of the Christian faith as many people would like to confuse Jesus with a cuddly pushover rather than acknowledge him as the merciful judge of all creation. Nevertheless, at each celebration of the Mass we look forward to the fulfilling of this faith, the time of Jesus' coming in glory, the time in which after his angels will have gathered together all God's people, we will sit at table with him, rejoicing and finally freed from all suffering and distress.
Jesus' second coming is predicted by our readings to be preceded by extraordinary events, and we are asked to be vigilant, to look out for these signs, but I wouldn't want you to make very specific connections between what happened in the past days and the end of times. Rather, I would you like to renew your hope and to acknowledge that amidst all these troubles we still await for the coming of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who will bring an end to all unrest – crowning the right and banishing suffering. Jesus will come again and his coming in glory will in the end and be the fulfilment of our Christian hope.

joann's was having a simplicity pattern sale so i stocked up. most of these i've seen made up on various blogs. i'm hoping to cut out a few patterns and have them ready to sew when my new machine arrives.
2560: it looks terrible on the envelope (get a load of that hat) but i saw an adorable version from mushywear. i don't have fabric for this yet, but i love her version.
2501: i like the peplum and how girly it is. i think i would make a longer tie so i could tie it into a bow, like this one from green apples. i have several shirting fabrics just waiting to be used.
2700: still searching for the perfect pants. these don't have back pockets, but that's easily remedied. there's a tutorial for welt pockets in the twinkle sews book that i might follow, once i get the hang of it. i have several bottomweight fabrics just waiting for the right pattern, including some dark denim, red corduroy, gray suiting fabric, navy pinstripe...i could keep going.
2343: a straight skirt with pockets. and look, it has ruffles! it's just too cute. i might try it first with some white corduroy that's been in the stash since the dawn of time.
2403: yay, a shirtdress with pockets! i've already seen several cute mods with different skirts, like this one. i think i may have found the right dress for my red polka dot fabric.
2599: there are too many cute versions of this one to list, but here are a few: green apples and tumbling blocks. i have some handkerchief linen and some little folks voile that are destined to be this top.
i can't wait to get started!

Four months after mom died, I began my volunteer work in prison. During our mindfulness sessions, we sit in a circle, volunteers and inmates together. We begin with meditation and then check in. The check-in is group meditation: each person shares from the heart while the group listens, in a spacious, deep way.
My first few check-ins were raw: the relationship between meditation and grief. I didn't hold back; I let myself be vulnerable. After everyone shares, there's time for general discussion. One inmate (I'll call him "R") looked right at me and told a story from his previous incarceration.
He went to a parole hearing, not expecting much but received wonderful news: he would be released in a week. He'd be released! R was beyond happy; he was giddy. When he returned to his cell, there stood "white shirts." (Blue shirts are guards; white shirts are administration.) R immediately thought, "Oh no, something happened and they reversed the decision. I won't be released." But that wasn't the news. The two men in white shirts said, "We're sorry son, but your mom has died." This took his breath away. His mom was his best friend. She was the first person he wanted to tell about release. On the very same day, two extremes occurred: he received freedom and his mother lost her life. Through tears, he said—still looking right at me—that for the next week he bounced repeatedly between joy and grief. And this juxtaposition helped him heal. He hoped that I could find the beauty and growth within grief. This was his genuine wish for me.
The whole group silently bore witness to this exchange. Both me and R in tears. Vulnerable, brave, raw, and real. A group wish for growth and healing within pain. A wish for insight within grief.
Only now, a year later, do I fully understand R's words. I understand how sadness and gratitude exist in the same space of my heart. To love fully means to grieve fully. Once the heaviness lifts, there's spaciousness, gratitude, and even joy. When I'm tugged by heaviness, I allow for tears—for sadness—yet I also allow for ease and gratitude. I smile as I think of mom (and Patrick and Mary and Grandma). I'm deeply grateful they were in my life; that I knew and loved them for even a short time.
I'm equally grateful for the compassion, wisdom, and vulnerability I witness in prison. In an institution that actively de-humanizes people, I observe humanity and caring in unique and beautiful ways. Greg Boyle writes, "Compassion is not a relationship between healer and the wounded. It's a covenant between equals." My prison sangha is just that. And this would make my mom smile.

The battery voltage can be monitored using an Arduino analog input, but you can't directly connect the battery to an input pin because a fully charged battery can exceed the maximum voltage that the Arduino chip can tolerate.
Another factor to be aware of is that the default voltage reference for
analogRead is the 5 volt output from the regulator on the Arduino board.
This regulator requires more than 6 volts to produce a stable 5 volt output. When the voltage
difference between the regulator input and output (referred to in the regulator datasheet as
the dropout voltage) is less than a volt, the output voltage will drop below the required 5
volt level. Because this voltage is used as the default Arduino reference for analog
conversion, the analog readings will no longer be accurate. In short, you shouldn't rely on
the battery voltage as a reference to measure the battery voltage. So you need a reliable
voltage reference that is not dependent on the output from the regulator.
The solution is to use an internal voltage reference that is built into the Arduino chip. This provides a 1.1 volt reference that is stable for any voltage that is sufficient to power the Arduino chip. Because the reference is 1.1 volts, the voltage being measured must not exceed this value, so a voltage divider to drop battery voltage down to an acceptable range is required (Figure D-1).

First - 12th Grade
Catholic Based Education
The classical model of education is based on the
traditional "liberal arts", i.e., the learning arts proper to a free
person since the time of the ancient Greeks and enjoying a rich Catholic
heritage. It is not subject matter but rather the bestowing of the tools of
learning and clear thinking that help pupils to apply this knowledge to their lives
and the problems and issues they will face in the world.
This classical model of education closely follows the natural intellectual development of the child. In the classical method, these stages of development are represented by the "Trivium" of Grammar, Logic and Rhetoric.

Completed in 1894, Tillman Hall (originally Main Building) has served as the focal point of the Winthrop College campus since the school's opening session in 1895. Winthrop was the first state-supported college for women in South Carolina. One of the few remaining examples of Richardsonian Romanesque architecture in the state, it is also one of the most outstanding. The firm of Bruce and Morgan from Atlanta designed Tillman Hall and the Thompson Decker Construction Company of Birmingham built the building with labor provided by convicts from the South Carolina State Penitentiary. The building is constructed of red, pressed brick, laid in a bond entirely of stretchers. It is three stories high and includes a basement and attic. The roof is a combination of a gabled and hipped configuration. It is covered with slate and copper with galvanized iron cornices. The building features dramatic semicircular and elliptical arches with radiating voussoirs and keystones, a bracketed belt course, projecting bay windows, a Sullivanesque-style frieze and floral motifs, a native granite foundation, a conical-roofed clock tower with open belfry, and elaborate interior wood and plaster work. In 1962 Main Building was renamed Tillman Hall. Benjamin R. Tillman, Governor and U.S. Senator, was an early advocated of a state-supported college for women.

Paint horse braves Irene floods to deliver meds in Vermont
OK, here's one more reason to ride horses in all sorts of circumstances, besides simply making circles and loops in equestrian arenas.
A lone horseback rider, clad in a cowboy hat and rain slicker, saddled up and piloted his black-and-white Paint horse down a flooded Route 103 in Rockingham, Vermont, on Monday, August 29th, to hand-deliver a pouch of medicines to folks on the other side of the puddle. Police cars and emergency crews stood by, as the pair waded through the waters.
Rains associated with Hurricane Irene caused the Williams River to overflow, so the waters covered the county highway and made vehicular traffic impossible.
After passing off the package, the modern-day Pony Express pair turned and made their way back through the waters, which reached the sidepassing horse's shoulders at one point.
Here's the video of the prescription-delivering Paint horse in Vermont, who proved to be just what the doctor ordered:
YouTube video by VTWayneVideo
Could a ring-sour training horse do the same? We can only wonder …
Certainly, cross-training is of considerable benefit to equestrians, horses and even occasionally those who may require their rescue.
Just ask the folks in Windham County, Vermont, who now have the medicines they needed, thanks to a Paint horse who was willing to wade through rippling floodwaters on the open road.

Supporters and critics of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump alike flocked to Reddit on Wednesday evening for a virtual event that the Republican presidential nominee himself described as "SO huge": his AMA (Ask Me Anything).
As per the usual structure of AMAs, Redditors were invited to ask Mr. Trump, well, anything. But the moderators of the The_Donald subreddit, which hosted the thread, took "extra security measures" to keep the "community free from troublemakers" by deleting questions perceived as probing or antagonistic, eliciting criticism from some non-Trump factions who say the heavily censored AMA is reflective of a greater pattern throughout Trump's campaign.
Journalists for The Daily Beast – who reportedly posted a question asking Trump why he wouldn't release his tax returns and noted that the question was deleted within 15 minutes – described the AMA as "a production so tightly controlled you'd think Trump was running for president of North Korea."
As the night went on, Trump responded to a range of inquiries about NASA, the police, and why on-the-fence voters should support him instead of a third-party candidate.
When asked by one Redditor how he would tackle a biased mass media without stepping on the First Amendment rights of average Americans, he responded, "I have been very concerned about media bias and the total dishonesty of the press. I think new media is a great way to get out the truth."
But purposely absent from the thread was any criticism, however mild, of the Republican candidate: As one moderator for The_Donald subreddit put it, "We built the wall 10 ft taller."
Throughout his campaign, Trump has faced criticism for attempting to silence his critics, from revoking the press credentials of various news organizations to having (sometimes silent) protesters removed from his rallies.
The removal of demonstrators – particularly non-disruptive ones – from his rallies has elicited disapproval from those who say that a candidate who is so opposed to "political correctness" should be more concerned about squashing free speech.
But others argue that, when addressing an audience in a private space, politicians have no obligation to allow dissenting views into the conversation.
Presidential candidates such as Trump "need to have firm control of their message" when they are expressing their ideas to voters, writes Andrew King, an assistant prosecuting attorney from Ohio, for The New York Times. "The size of the protest or the message is of no matter. The candidate decides which ideas to share and how, and who is permitted into the audience."
Given the AMA moderators' warning of "extra security measures" and the history of protesters removed from Trump rallies, it's possible that, like demonstrators who go into the rallies knowing they'll be ejected, some anti-Trump Redditors expected to have their comments deleted in the first place.
"Dissent is part of the American tradition," Michael Leo Owens, an associate political science professor at Emory University, told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "When a person goes to a rally with a sign to protest, they don't expect the candidate to actually stand there and debate them right there on the floor. The idea is to disrupt, displease all in the name of political action and expression. The ejection is what brings the attention, and the ejection equals the triumph."

Disneyland Resort Update: Dapper Changes
Disneyland Resort, Anaheim, CA
This week has been devoted to spooky Halloween content the first two days, but yesterday, for many people, the country got a jolt of real potential horror. So we're going to switch gears and head over to the Happiest Place on Earth for a check-up and construction update on some of the things that have been happening over there since we last stopped by (during the daytime).
"Star Wars" Land
Construction continues for the future home of a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Crews have been working overtime (already) at certain points over the past month to keep pace with the schedule. A lot of the work has focused along the backside of the Rivers of America, which must be completed before next year's summer season. As such, we're starting to see tangible structure for the railroad tressle and waterfall and rockwork area. But other features, such as the main entrance into the land and show building infrastructure and volumes, are starting to develop.
New Security Checkpoint
A few days ago, Disneyland announced that they would be expanding security checkpoint areas to encompass Downtown Disney and the Mickey and Friends Parking Structure area. The benefit will be the elimination of a security check for guests exiting the park area and entering Downtown Disney, but this will mean increased delays and hassle for not only park visitors but Downtown Disney shoppers. The changes should take place early next year, so get ready to increase the required patience level when visiting the Disneyland Resort.
Rivers of America
Work on Tom Sawyer Island continues. Curiously, now the front area has been concealed behind tarp, when it wasn't before during repainting. I'm not quite sure why, but I suppose there's a good reason for the inconsistency. There's plenty of time to finish the work here, and the TLC for the island is starting to make it look pretty nice again.
Tower of Terror
The transformation of the Hollywood Tower Hotel into the Guardians of the Galaxy: Breakout! show building has entered its burka stage, with copious scaffolding and tarps enveloping the iconic structure. The ride itself continues to operate and will do so until January 2nd, then go down completely for an interior remodel as well.
Around Hollywood Land
All that nighttime concert infrastructure for past events such as ElecTRONica and Mad T Party has finally been shuffled away, as Hollywood Land returns to its base state for the first time in years. It seems like Disney decision makers have finally afforded that this area no longer needs a nighttime dance party experience. It certainly won't once it makes its inevitable longterm transition to a Marvel-themed land.
Festival of Holidays Prep
Tomorrow begins the Festival of Holidays at Disney California Adventure, which will kind of be like the winter version of the Food and Wine Festival. The same collection of booths along the main thoroughfare from Carthay Circle to Paradise Pier will offer food and drink and treats, and these booths were already on hand last weekend.
Fall Dapper Day
This past Sunday was also the fall iteration of Dapper Day, a twice-a-year gathering of Disney fans who dress up in vintage or fancy garb to relive the era when guests treated Disney visits like special occasions and came to the park in more formal clothing. It's a throwback to a bygone era, and it's a fun and lovely experience. These days, the event seems to be dominated by Disney Bounders, guests who visualize fashion palettes that do not imitate Disney character costuming exactly but rather allude to them via colors and patterns. It's actually a pretty creative endeavor, because some DisneyBounding outfits can be pretty subtle. Half the fun is guessing whether someone is Disney Bounding or just dressed up. Either way, it makes for a special time at the parks!
For those interested, the next Disneyland Resort Dapper Day is April 23 next year. Dapper Day also holds events in Walt Disney World and Disneyland Paris, also in the spring and fall each year, but on different dates.
That's it for the Disneyland Resort this week. We'll return to Halloween things to close out our 2016 coverage tomorrow, but before I leave you, I have an soapbox to get on.
Yesterday, the U.S. held a little presidential election, as it has done every four years for the past 240, and in a massive upset of historical proportions, orange became the new black (not my original joke, obviously). This has caused a lot of consternation, and understandably so. But regardless of whether you are an ardent supporter of our new president-elect or fear that he will tear apart our very society as we know it, keep in mind that fear, divisiveness, hate, and dismissal are what got us to where we are today, with a presidential result that is so generally unbelievable that it seems like something out of a comedy sketch.
So with that in mind, instead of reacting back with more of the same negative emotions and feelings that have brought us to this point, I urge everyone to embrace compassion and consideration. This goes for people of any political allegiance. Develop understanding and care for your fellow human being, even if you have differing viewpoints on politics or social issues. We can all be decent people to each other despite our differences. Don't let politicians dictate your life or your behavior. Focus on what you can control, and be nice to one another.
Remember that light always overcomes darkness. So hold light in your hearts.
Architect. Photographer. Disney nerd. Haunt enthusiast. Travel bugged. Concert fiend. Asian.

Haiti begins two days of remembrance ceremonies in honour of more than 220,000 people who died in an earthquake that leveled the impoverished country a year ago. But the anniversary finds Haiti barely healed from the trauma inflicted 12 months ago. The two pictures above show Port-au-Prince cathedral. The top photograph was taken just days after the massive earthquake struck, while the bottom picture was taken 12 months later

In Summer 2013, Royal Jelly Jive formed after regularly performing at San Francisco's iconic Boom Boom Room just steps away from the historic Fillmore Auditorium. Fronted by lead singer Lauren Bjelde and keyboardist/accordionist Jesse Lemme Adams, Royal Jelly Jive takes inspiration from the very San Francisco streets in which they lived and pen dynamic silhouettes of everyday neighbourhood characters, falling in love, and ultimately standing up for who you are and what you believe in. This is where the title of their sophomore full-length studio recording, Stand Up, is born. The album was recorded at Prairie Sun Recording Studios in Sonoma County, CA and produced by GRAMMY Award-nominated Andrew Zweers and Judy Kirschner (Santana, Joe Satriani).
Royal Jelly Jive's music is the ultimate mashup of 1930s/'40s swing horns, deep rhythm and bass driven hip-hop, and powerhouse female vocals. Stand Up features 11 original compositions and two covers written by lauded Bay Area artists Tom Waits and Primus.
With notable performances with artists including Michael Franti, Rebirth Brass Band and The California Honeydrops, it's only fitting that the band's 2016 touring is just as exciting. From a sold-out headlining show at the popular music venue The Independent (San Francisco) celebrating the release of Stand Up to playing some of the most popular summer music festivals such as BottleRock Napa Valley, Joshua Tree Music Festival and Waterfront Blues Festival, Royal Jelly Jive is sure to make every audience they meet.
"Stand Up!"

A custom home builder in Virginia needed more sales leads to ride out the downturn in the housing market. Our objective was to drive qualified leads, at the lowest possible Cost Per Lead. We inherited the AdWords account in 2011, and re-built it from the ground up.
After rebuilding the account, we determined that the most effective way to improve our overall Cost Per Lead was to create a thorough Landing Page Testing Strategy. By increasing conversion rates steadily over time, we would be able to continually drop their Cost Per Lead.
Test Landing Pages
Since 2011, we've tested more than 25 landing page variations, with each one providing an incremental increase in conversion rates. We tested everything imaginable to measure its impact on performance: colors, calls-to-action, copy, images, overall layout, and more.
Analyze Conversion Rates
In addition to simply measuring the increase in leads, we found some creative ways to track the overall success of the new landing pages. We used heat mapping software that showed how much of the page people were viewing, and "confetti" that showed us exactly where on the page visitors were clicking. We also included unique call-tracking numbers on our pages, allowing us to track exactly how many phone calls each landing page variation was receiving, and how qualified they were.
Refine Campaigns
As the results of each landing page test became conclusive, we declared a winner, and quickly began testing a new variation. Ultimately, the increased conversion rates helped drop the client's Cost Per Lead by 75%, allowing us to drive 4X more leads for the same price.
In Their Own Words…

The Tumbling Souls Between the Truth and the Dream Wee Studio
This Scottish group has released a collection of folk songs that reflect their influences and the twelve tracks are all performed with great gusto and no small amount of skill. The collective boasts eight players who create a celebratory sound and the mix of fiddles, guitars, accordion, banjo, mandolin and piano serve up lots of fine melodies in what is quite an enjoyable listen.
Grounded by the double bass playing of Keith Morrison, the talents of all the ensemble are given flight across songs like Knowing Where You Come From, King Of The Moon, Wishing My Time and Stornoway at 2am.
All songs are written by Willie Campbell a veteran of many years playing in different bands and other collaborations and his vocal performance is very strong here. Production by Pete Fletcher is bright and clear and the inclusion of a live track, Dance A Little Better, gives a sense of just how good these musicians are in a live setting.
Eryn Lady E Self Release
Sweet soul music from a talented singer who knows how to deliver a powerful performance across the six songs included on this EP. There is a blues feel to tracks like The You Missing From Me and Just Jump, while the Gypsy tempo to the arrangement on Stranger In My House is suitably different and adds a new focus. Running Red Lights is back to a soulful delivery and the production of Jack Daley, who also plays bass, is very sensitive to the undoubted vocal talents of Eryn.
Trevor & Sylvie Time Is Free Self Release
Trevor Wheetman and Sylvie Davidson are a husband and wife duo based in Nashville. Trevor is multi-talented and can lend his skills to being an actor, musician, composer, and musical director. He is also a multi-instrumentalist and together with Sylvie, who also boasts acting skills in addition to her musical abilities, they deliver folk-based music that is both engaging and impressive in equal measure.
All of the thirteen songs included on this debut are written by the duo, with the exception of a Mark Knopfler cover, The Bug. Wheetman pens four songs, Davidson takes credit for three and the remaining five tracks are co-writes. Production by Nick Foster is very proficient and the fine harmony singing is given a central place in the mix. Foster also contributes on guitars, slide, mandolin, dobro and banjo while the other studio musicians play in a restrained and tight fashion throughout.
There is a nature theme with songs like Stolen Flowers (a wedding with a difference) and Thirsty, which speaks of love, simple ways and going back to the land. Build This Love speaks of union and the bonds of family. All I Know is a catchy love song with strings arranged by Matt Montgomery and it is another good example of the craft at play here.
Idiot and Opposite Of Love, both have a slow groove and an easy vocal from Trevor that channels James Taylor. Cupid's Confession is a real joy and a clever look at the routine involved when you are a bored facilitator of love. The Few and Through The Cracks are two stand-out tracks as the project winds down, the first a slow folk blues with fine vocals from Sylvie & Trevor and beautifully restrained cello provided by Alex Kelly; the latter an acoustic reflection on love with winsome vocals from Sylvie and again, the superb cello of Alex Kelly. Definitely a recommended release that continues to unveil new treasure on repeated listening.
Low Lily 10,000 Days Like These Mad River
This is contemporary Folk music played to a very high standard indeed. The 11 tracks display a vocal dexterity and harmony heaven from the three key musicians involved, Liz Simmons (guitar, vocals), Flynn Coen (guitar, mandolin, vocals) and Lissa Schneckenburger (fiddle, vocals). There are two instrumentals included, The Good Part and Single Girl. The former displays the power of the trio, with accompaniment on banjo and bass driving the arrangement; the latter is a reflective piece with solo fiddle from Lissa that shows off her impressive talents to full effect. This collection of songs bears repeated listens and the clear vocal delivery and the terrific production of Liz Simmons raises the experience to new levels. Songs like Dark Skies Again, Hope Lingers On and 10,000 Days Like These bear strong testament to the joy of fluid playing, sweet melody and harmonious vocals. The superb cover of Brothers In Arms (Mark Knopfler) also sits comfortably into the overall thrust of the project and I have little doubt that seeing this group in a live setting would rank as nothing short of a compelling evening. Highly recommended.
Lee Palmer Horns & Harps Self Release
In the liner notes of this release, Lee Palmer says that he has had the privilege of releasing 5 studio albums over the last 6 years and that this release counts as his most musical experience to date. We are not inclined to disagree at Lonesome Highway, having reviewed a number of his previous releases on the website.
Ten tracks that are split between featuring acoustic & electric harp, courtesy of Roly Platt, and saxophone by Turner King. The rest of the band are terrific support players with the back beat of Sean O'Grady and the bass of Alec Fraser Jr. adding greatly to the loose feel and blues drive of these songs. The warm sounds of Steve O'Connor on piano, organ & wurlitzer are augmented by the impressive background and harmony vocals of Chris Ayries and the production is crisp and uncluttered.
Tracks like My Baby Again, Isn't That So and Shake 'Em Blues provide a classic bluesy feel while Old Picture, Old Frame and Life Rolls On, highlight sweet guitar playing over a gentle beat. The big sound of Rockin' Strawberry Jam is countered by slow burn of Somebody's Daughter, a song that addresses homelessness and one that stands out here among an impressive body of work.
Swampcandy Mine Self Release
This collective hail from Annapolis, Maryland and have a number of prior releases dating back to 2007. Ruben Dobbs is the creative force behind the band and in addition to playing guitar and singing, he displays a healthy disregard for being pigeonholed into any genre. Included here, across 13 tracks is a huge gumbo of swamp groove (JC's Revenge), light New Orleans jazz (Party With The Devil), jazzy blues (Holy Rope), hard rock (Dead Man Walking) and some ragtime, polka sounds (Burn The Meadow). To say nothing of the spoken word links between tracks, some of which are very humorous, with the loose percussive sounds of a Tom Waits, delivered in tracks like Knock Out and Never Going Back.
There are credits for 18 different studio players who range on instruments from strings, percussion across a heady mix of banjo, piano, keys, vibraphone, bass and things that go bump in the night!! Interestingly, no guitars, as would be expected on a big production project like this – voodoo with a bit of the Devil himself thrown in for good measure. Addictive and very impressive.

From the masterly piano recitals of Sir András Schiff early in the year to Joyce DiDonato at the end, Vancouver once again displayed an embarrassment of musical riches.

Supreme Court clears up confusion.
On June 19 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers overextended its permitting authority under the Clean Water Act of 1972 by restricting construction near storm drains and ditches.
While the Clean Water Act allows the Corps to regulate development adjacent to navigable waters, wetlands, or tributaries adjacent to navigable U.S. waters, the ambiguous definition of "adjacent" prompted the court to examine how extensively the federal government can restrict development.
The court ruled that the phrase "waters of the United States" includes only relatively permanent, standing, or continuously flowing bodies of water, such as streams, oceans, rivers, and lakes--not storm drains, ditches, or channels that intermittently contain flowing water.
The court consolidated two cases in which the Corps claimed proposed development was too close to navigable waters or wetlands. One case examined construction of a shopping center near a manmade drain located 20 miles from a river; the other involved a condominium development near a ditch that drains into a creek that empties into a lake.

Farm to Farmer's Market to Grocery Store: The Ontario Agri-Food Venture Centre
Food For the entrepreneur looking to bring a new food product to market, the biggest challenge can be connecting with farmers.
Ironically, for Ontario's farmers, one of the biggest problems can be identifying new crops and moving excess harvest outside of their usual channels. The new Ontario Agri-Food Venture Centre in Colborne is looking to bridge that gap.
The 15,000 square foot facility is a solar-powered food processing plant in Colborne just off Highway 401. The centre was officially inaugurated on the first of May this year in a bread-cutting ceremony attended by Premier Kathleen Wynne, and Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Jeff Leal.
Commissioning and testing of the facility will continue through the month of May, followed by a public opening in June.
"We're fostering cross-cultural exchange and knowledge of foods between newcomers, immigrants, and other members of the community."
The centre is a one-of-a-kind venture providing on-demand and at-cost food processing services, including washing, hulling, cutting, flash-freezing, packing and labelling for almost any crop.
It will allow farmers to grow niche crops with the knowledge they can process them independently, and will also provide much needed options for local processing of traditional crops.
At the same time, Ontario food entrepreneurs will gain direct access to local farmers, and also to the professional food processing, preparation, and storage facilities that will allow them to build and grow their business.
Ontario food entrepreneurs will gain direct access to local farmers.
Northumberland County residents, and Ontarians from further afield, are eager to sign on. "The interest is very much there. The facility is really taking a Launchpad approach for food entrepreneurs with great ideas, providing the infrastructure to test their products and do product development," says Northumberland County's Director of Economic Development and Tourism Dan Borowec.
"There's also real excitement from the agricultural community. The facility provides them the opportunity to realistically start generating second source farming income."
New opportunities for new Canadians
Perhaps one of the most exciting aspects of this new venture centre is the way it is empowering new Canadians to bring their specialized knowledge and skills to market. "Northumberland County's newcomer and immigrant population has increased dramatically in the last six or seven years and we expect that trend to continue or increase over the next five years," says Dindin Villarino, Business Immigration Coordinator for Northumberland County.
"We're fostering cross-cultural exchange and knowledge of foods between newcomers, immigrants, and other members of the community. We know that many new Canadians have an interest in developing a business in the food sector, and we want to encourage these entrepreneurial activities."
The positive potential of initiatives like this cannot be denied. Ontario farmers are in urgent need of additional routes to market for their produce, and entrepreneurs are the lifeblood of Ontario's economy.
It's very exciting that this new Agri-Food Venture Centre is opening in Ontario's heartland and creating new opportunities for Ontarians of all stripes.

To follow on from my Meatballs and sauce recipe here is my sausage casserole recipe which is pretty much the same as my meat version 00Steve enjoys.
This recipe uses Quorn sausages but you could use any type of sausage if you prefer yep even meat! For the sake of those who have partners or kids who really won't give up meat I suggest just swapping the veggie options out for the meat ones for example stock cubes. This serves one but just multiply amounts as needed.
Ingredients For The Sausage Casserole:
- 2 sausages
- 1/2 pepper any colour (green not so much)
- 2 shallots
- 2/3 mushrooms depending on size
- 1/2 carrot
- 1 tin chopped tomatoes
- 1/2 tin mixed beans (for 00Steve I just use baked beans)
- 1/2 smoked paprika
- 1/2 ground cumin
- 1 + 1/2 tbsp tomato puree
- 1/2 veg oxo cube
It is relatively quick and easy to do. Chop all your veg if using the mushrooms I suggest chopping them fairly small to help with digestion and reduce the chance of blockages. Sautee the veggies off in a saucepan and put the sausages in. If using meat sausages I remove the skins and then cut the sausage into pieces. As the Quorn ones are frozen I put them in the pan with the veggies and cook them until I can cut them into pieces (I use scissors ha ha) Once your veg has softened even if the sausages cant be cut yet (if you use scissors it doesn't matter that we are making the sauce! Add the stock cube, tomato puree and spices and give it a good stir round. Add you beans drained unless in a tomato sauce and the tomatoes. Then leave to simmer for 10 minutes. Serve with turnip mash for another vegetable portion and I personally top mine off with cheese which makes everyone in my house happy.
So there it is my vegetarian sausage casserole, I really enjoy it and I hope you do too!
