Here is a song from 1929, mixing blues, Hawaiian music and variety, and typical of the versatility of legendary singer Jimmie Rodgers.
Jimmie Rodgers (1897 - 1933), known as "The Singing Brakeman" and "America's Blue Yodeler", was the first country music superstar, a status that resulted in another commonly used nickname, "The Father of Country Music". He was born in Meridian, Mississippi. Jimmie's affinity for entertaining came at an early age, and the lure of the road was irresistible to him. By age 13, he had twice organized and begun traveling shows. Mr Rodgers found Jimmie his first job working on the railroad, as a waterboy. This is where he learned the cries and moans of the blues and was taught to pick and strum by the rail workers and the hoboes. A few years later, he became brakeman on the New Orleans and Northeastern Railroad, a position secured by his brother, a conductor on the line between Meridian and New Orleans. In 1924 at the age of 27, Jimmie contracted tuberculosis. The disease temporarily ended his railroad career, but, at the same time, gave him the chance to get back to his first love, entertainment. He returned to railroad work as a brakeman on the east coast of Florida at Miami, but eventually his illness cost him his job. He relocated to Tucson, Arizona and was employed as a switchman by the Southern Pacific. The job lasted less than a year, and the Rodgers family had settled back in Meridian by early 1927. Rodgers decided to travel to Asheville, North Carolina, later that same year. On April 18, Jimmie performed for the first time on Asheville's first radio station. A few months later Jimmie recruited a group from Tennessee and secured a weekly slot on the station as the Jimmie Rodgers Entertainers. In late July 1927, Rodgers' bandmates got word that a representative of Victor was coming to Bristol to audition area musicians. But, following an argument, the band broke up and Rodgers arrived at the recording session alone. On August 4, 1927, Jimmie Rodgers completed his first session for Victor. In November, Rodgers headed to New York City in an effort to arrange another session. Four songs made it out of this session, including "Blue Yodel", better known as "T for Texas". In the next two years, this recording sold nearly half a million copies, which was impressive enough to rocket Rodgers into stardom. After this, he sold out shows whenever and wherever he played. On July 16, 1930, he recorded "Blue Yodel No. 9" with jazz trumpeter Louis Armstrong, whose wife, Lillian, played piano on the recording. Rodgers's next-to-last recordings were made in August 1932 in Camden and it was clear that tuberculosis was getting the better of him. He had given up touring by that time but did have a weekly radio show in San Antonio, Texas, where he had relocated when "T for Texas" became a hit. In May 1933, Rodgers traveled again to New York City for a group of sessions. Those were the last ones. He died on May 26, 1933. He was 35 years old. When the Country Music Hall of Fame was established in 1961, Rodgers was one of the first three (with Fred Rose and Hank Williams) to be inducted. He was elected to the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1970 and, as an early influence, to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1986. On May 24, 1978, the United States Postal Service issued a commemorative stamp honoring Rodgers. Since 1953, Meridian's Jimmie Rodgers Memorial Festival has been held annually during May to honor the anniversary of Rodgers' death. Rodgers' legacy and influence is not limited to country music. He was influential to a number of blues artists, among them Howlin' Wolf, whose howling was at the beginning an unsuccessful imitation of Rodgers' yodeling. Rodgers' mix of Southern white music and Southern black music was an important precurser to rock n' roll.
Enjoy Jimmie Rodgers' style!

i had this really silly dream about sports. apparently, i was going to school and they were having sport competitions in school and the school was competing against itself. so i was walking around with my swimming stuff. (even though i suck at swimming. apparently my dream likes swimming). then i walk into the gym. they are playing baseball. and all the basketball playing asians are playing baseball. so i join for no reason. and then i hit a homerun in the gym. and the team that was losing before was so happy. and the team that i just beat hated me. and there were some people i have never seen before. it must be my split personalities hating myself. and then i walk outside and see some people that dont play lacrosse in lacrosse uniforms with tennis rackets. and i am confused and they are going to play in the badminton competition. then i walk to the bike racks and talk to some person and i wake up. sports are weird.

|[Subversion Wiki] Update of "RepetitiveResolvingOfTheSameRename" by PhilipMartin
|Thu, 17 Nov 2011 16:52:23 GMT
Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Subversion Wiki" for change notification. The "RepetitiveResolvingOfTheSameRename" page has been changed by PhilipMartin: http://wiki.apache.org/subversion/RepetitiveResolvingOfTheSameRename New page: = The Problem = The scenario is: a long-lived release branch getting bug fixes, and trunk undergoing development. Bug fixes are merged between the trunk and branch; there are two (at least) ways this can be handled. One is the approach used by the Subversion project: fix bugs on trunk and cherry-pick merge those changes to the release branch. Other organisations do it differently: they fix bugs directly on the branch and do catch-up merges to ensure that the changes get onto trunk. Both approaches suffer when the trunk development renames files and directories as the rename often indicates major new development that is not suitable for the branch. This means that the merges raise tree conflicts that require user intervention to solve. The big problem is that having solved and committed a solution, the next merge is likely to produce essentially the same conflict requiring the user to go through the same steps to resolve it. = The Aim = We want the merge to automatically apply incoming changes to the moved items. These are not uncommitted local moves, they are moves that have been committed to the repository. So the solution is to identify moves in the repository history and then use those moves to adjust the incoming merge differences so that they apply to the moved item. The first stage, identifying moves in the repository, is the subject of ongoing work (Record moves in the database, extracting them from the log history, etc.). Some work has also been done on getting update to understand local, uncommitted moves, and this can probably be extended. It is not clear how well automatic move identification will work in practice. Even if it works well there will always be some moves that cannot be identified automatically, if only because the user simply made the move using add/rm without any sort of copy. Another scenario is splitting a file in two and later discarding one half. The idea here is to allow the user to resolve conflicts by telling Subversion "A moved to B" and storing that information. This could happen before the merge, or during conflict resolution, or at some other time. The information gets stored in a property and committed so that it is available for subsequent merges. In this way the user only has to resolve the conflict once and repeat merges don't conflict. This doesn't preclude automatic move identification. Initially we simply ask the user to resolve all moves, but as automatic move identification starts to work it can bypass asking (or perhaps suggest the answer). = The Design = == What information needs to be stored? == "A moved to B" obviously. "at rN"? Do we need to store a revision range? == Where is it stored? == In an svn:property of some sort. It may need special handling to merge changes to the property along the lines of svn:mergeinfo. Do we store the property at the working copy root? In the parent of of the moved item? Given A/B/C/D on one branch and suppose there have been three renames on the other branch at various times: D->Z C->Y B->X giving A/X/Y/Z. We could store all three moves in the root or we could store the B->X in A, C->Y in B and D->Z in C. Storing it in parent would mean that it automatically adjusted as the parent was moved. If this good or bad? What would root storage look like? There are obviously ordering issues. A/B/C/D->A/B/C/Z A/B/C->A/B/Y A/B->A/X == How is the information obtained? == During interactive merge resolution? "svn resolve --moved-to B A" == When is it stored? == Like any property change it can be explicily committed, but generally it would be stored as part of the commit of the merge. == Multiple branches? == Suppose two branches are merging to trunk, with one branch older than the other. The trunk may have made renames between the two branches. So A->B may apply to branch one while X->B may apply to branch two. Does the conflict resolution stored on the source branch affect how it gets merged to the destination? Is there transitive behaviour?

Organ donation
Anyone had any experience with organ donation? My wife is pretty set on donating a kidney some time over the next few years as the kids get bigger and gets easier to envision her being down and out for a few weeks.
I was reading up on living liver donation, which is just amazing. You donation the
of your liver, and then it grows back to normal over the next eight weeks or so. That's pretty crazy. From he sound of it, those weeks are pretty miserable for the donor (apparently your body doesn't
having large chunks of organ removed, who knew?), but within a few months you're totally recovered and you've just saved someone's life.
I'd like to think well enough of myself that something like this is in my future. The finances are daunting. Insurance covers surgery and hospital time and (in most cases) medication, but being effectively immobile for weeks on end is really expensive all by itself in terms of lost productivity/income. Since it's illegal to pay someone for organ donation, there's no good way to mitigate it, even if the recipient wants to and is able to.
Anyway, that's what's on my mind, it's not about the horrifying and depressing state of today's politics, and by golly we need some new threads around here.

The Special Events Law the Town Board has been working on for several months should be on its way to a second public hearing sometime in February.
The board held a work session after the regular meeting Monday night and decided that the law would be finished at the next meeting, Jan. 27.
In the meantime, board members are going to write down their suggestions on the way the law is currently written and submit those suggestions to Supervisor David Cummings by Jan. 23. The law was presented during the work session, where the board members decided that it still needed to be reworked.
The law was brought up during the question period of the meeting by a resident who lives near Braun's Concert Cove. Complaints on the noise from the concerts at Braun's have prompted the town to look at ways to limit the aural impact on the surrounding area.
"I'm really worried about health issues," said Sue Fay Allen, who noted that the noise impacts over 100 people. "I would like to encourage you to get a sound ordinance and to schedule a public hearing. Please do it soon."
The board is looking at announcing when the public hearing on the law will be at the first meeting in February, Cummings said.
In other board news, the rules for residents wishing to address the Town Board have changed, limiting general questions on the town to a question period at the end of meetings.
"We've changed how we handle public comments concerning our agenda and our meeting," Cummings said.
The rule change went into effect for Monday night's meeting. Under the change, residents will be able to ask questions about items on the agenda early in the meeting but have to hold general questions for the assigned question period toward the end of the meeting, Cummings said.
"The reason we've done that is that perhaps during the meeting, we may have addressed your question, so you may not have it," he said, "or you may have even more questions."
The board approved the site plan for the expansion of Green Kangaroo Self Storage, 13399 Main Road. The expansion calls for constructing three buildings and paving work.

ARSHILE GORKY was born Vostanik Manoog Andoyan in 1904 near Van, Turkey. was a preeminent American Modernist artist of Armenian descent. His diverse body of was a unique conflation of the Surrealist, Cubist, and Expressionist artistic styles. His innovative stylistic fusion prepared the way for the emergence of Abstract Expressionism in its various artistic forms.Many of Gorky's works were also very personal in their content, reflecting on the artist's traumatic past as a genocide survivor. As a child, the artist survived the genocide of the Armenian people by the Ottoman Turks. With his family displaced and dispersed en route to the Russian-controlled Armenia, his mother died of starvation in Gorky's arms in 1919. His father, however, had escaped the Turkish military draft by moving to the United States in 1910 and settling in Providence, Rhode Island. Gorky would join his father in 1920 at the age of sixteen after leaving the war-ridden territory of the collapsed Russian Empire. The painful nostalgic sentiments for the lost homeland remained a prominent theme in Gorky's oeuvre.Gorky remained largely a self-taught artist before his immigration to the United States. Here he enrolled in the New School of Design in Boston, which he attended from 1922 to 1924. The new land also provided for the artist's initial exposure to the modernist artistic discourse, for which the founding fathers, such as the French Post-Impressionist painter Paul Cézanne, would exercise a great deal of influence. Around 1925 Gorky moved to New York where he swiftly penetrated the emerging artistic milieu and enjoyed an expansive introduction to groundbreaking innovations of Pablo Picasso as well as the early work of Joan Miró.It was in New York where Gorky met and developed a personal and artistic friendship with such artists as Stuart Davis, John Graham, and fellow émigré Willem de Kooning. New York's climate of constant artistic exchange proved auspicious for the formation of Gorky's early style which relied heavily on Cézanne's compositional method and Picasso's Synthetic Cubist forms. The colorful palette of the Fauves and other European Expressionists, among which German-based Wassily Kandinsky proved to be a major avant-garde force, were also formative influences on the artist.While in New York, Gorky enrolled at both the National Academy of Design and the Grand Central School of Art, where he also taught until 1931. It was also the time the artist changed his name, from Vosdanik Adoyan to Arshile Gorky, in order to divorce himself from the negative perception of the Armenian refugees in the United States. The change was also made to claim a certain connection to the Russian artistic milieu. For a while Gorky even claimed to be a relative of the prominent Soviet writer Maxim Gorky who enjoyed a considerable fame in the West.In the 1930's Gorky's work began to enjoy public recognition. In 1930, he was included in the group show of the emerging artists assembled by Alfred Barr, the influential director of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The year 1931 marked the first solo exhibition of Gorky's paintings at the Mellon Galleries in Philadelphia. From 1935 to 1941, the artist worked under the WPA Federal Art Project alongside Willem de Kooning, a major government initiative to provide artists with work at the time of the Great Depression. One of the projects conceived by Gorky for the WPA was the murals at the Newark Airport in Newark, New Jersey. Also in 1935, four of Gorky's paintings were included in the famed exhibition mounted by The Whitney Museum of American Art titled Abstract Painting in America, which attracted a growing attention to the artist from critics and public alike. In 1938 Gorky held his first solo show in New York at the Boyer Galleries.By the 1940's Gorky would move into an entirely new direction in his painting: an innovative technique of paint application which anticipated, if not inspired, the Action Painting method of the Abstract Expressionist painters of the following decade.The stylistic shift in Gorky's work is best understood through the analysis of the New York context, namely a major influx of European artists and intellectuals who moved to the city before and during the Second World War. Among these individuals were Josef Albers and Hans Hofmann who escaped Hitler's Reich and established themselves as influential art teachers and theorists in New York; Erwin Panofsky, a founding father of the academic discipline of Art History in its modern form, who taught at New York and Princeton Universities; prominent German Surrealist painter Max Ernst and the primary theorist of Surrealist movement André Breton, who fled the occupied city of Paris; and Piet Mondrian and Ferdinand Léger, who brought their unique pictorial modes as their only luggage. The confluence of these individuals made New York an ever more boisterous and diverse artistic ground, where the iconic names of Modern painting with all its variety of styles intermingled and intertwined, preparing the way for the emergence of an inimitable New York style of painting generally known as Abstract Expressionism.He died in Sherman Conneticut in 1948

Hand Tack the Facing: With a needle and thread stitch along the edge of the facing. Every inch or so, use your needle to snag a thread on the main body of your fabric. This will tack the facing in place without a visible stitch on the right side of your fabric.
Pat yourself on the back: With your dominant hand reach over your opposite shoulder and pat your back softly and lovingly. If back patting isn't your thing try giving yourself a thumbs up in the mirror, or popping a bottle of champagne (be careful not to get champagne on completed project). This step is not necessary but you should consider celebrating at the end of every sewing project. You've just taken raw materials and turned them into something wonderful! You're amazing!
Right sides together: When sewing it is important to be aware of the right and wrong sides of your fabric. The right side will face outward when you wear your completed garment. When the pattern says right sides together be sure that the right sides of your fabric are pinned/stitched facing each other. If your fabric looks similar on both sides, mark the wrong side of your fabric with some chalk or a piece of tape.
Stay stitch: Stay stitching is done on rounded areas of unsewn pieces to keep fabric from stretching or distorting. Use a long straight basting stitch.
Trim away excess: To keep your finished garment from looking bulky, you need to trim away excess fabric in the seam allowance after you have stitched it. Carefully cut close to your stitch without cutting into it or breaking any threads.

Thats awesome! Congrats! I would be telling everyone I know too.
I need to update my closet as well. But first I want to lose weight. Stacy and Clinton would probably scoff at that. Can't wait to see some purchases!
That ice bar looks delish!
AND finally,
I LOVE cooking with curry. It's really good on steaks too. :)

Everything about this post amazes me.
First, how on Earth did you live without Back to the Future before now?! Word of advice, don't bother with the sequel... you will only be disappointed. Really. A little tip there from me to you because I care. ;)
Second, there is nothing cooler than seeing somebody you know in the paper. EXCEPT, that is, seeing yourself in the paper. You go, girl! Keep that one for the scrapbooks.
Third, I can't wait to see all your new purchases. Prior to meeting my hubby, the only new things I bought were shoes. My clothes were all repeats from high school or thrifted/vintage stuff my mom gave me. I am beside you on the excitement.
And finally, your sense of humor never ceases to amaze me and reflect on my own. "...get your tail over to the nearest grocery store and pick up some. Tell them I sent you. Not that it'd matter. But, I'd probably be way flattered." Girl, I swear if you lived closer, we'd pretty much be besties forever. ;)
Have a great weekend and enjoy the fame!!

Chelsea- why were you in the paper? That is really exciting. Congratulations!
Wow, you had never seen Back to the Future? Really? Did you like it? I am pretty sure my affection for technology wouldn't allow me to live in any other time period.
Can't wait to see more of your new clothing haul! I live for that kind of thing:)
That curry recipe looks amazing. I have never tried to make it at home before.

According to statistics, in 25-30% of cases after the removal of the wisdom tooth there occurs an inflammation of the socket of the removed tooth. For a comparison, after removal of any other groups of teeth, the percentage of inflammation occurring equals only 3-5%. Firstly, this is due to the fact that the operation for the wisdom tooth is more complex, and secondly – due to the fact that those teeth are surrounded by a large number of soft tissues.
Any pain or discomfort after a specific medical operation is not good to hear. Doctors at Breast Augmentation Melbourne offer a specific operation to improve the body and they too provide consultation to prevent any discomfort after going through the procedure.
The latter circumstance is very important in terms of the teeth pain after wisdom tooth extraction. This is because the presence of soft structures in the area of the socket often leads to the loss of a clot – its loss or even destruction. This means that if the socket loses a clot it will inevitably develop an inflammation.
Stitches are almost always needed when dealing with the extraction of wisdom tooth. This is necessary because these teeth are in the depths of soft tissues, and there is very sensitive mucus surrounding this spot. The absence of stitches in this situation can lead to clots and inflammations. But if the jaw of a patient happens to be of a greater size, the wisdom teeth will have more space to grow so the socket will look as usual.
Why there might appear teeth pain after wisdom tooth extraction?
The severity of negative consequences depends directly on how traumatic the removal itself was. The degree of trauma, in turn, depends not only on the complexity of the jaw but also on the qualification of the dentist. For instance, surgeons often try to remove a wisdom tooth for one or two hours with a pair of forceps instead of spending just 15-20 minutes.
Another major cause of complications is the use of a drill the surgical tip of which has no water-cooling. As a result, there is a thermal burn of the bone, followed by severe pain and development of suppuration of the socket of the removed tooth.
Thus, the process itself is not necessarily painful. Instead, it is important to make sure the dentist is qualified enough to perform the surgery well enough.

Hanna Rosin of The Washington Post wandered onto David Kirkpatrick's turf during the weekend, attempting to explain those strange new creatures in town who are called evangelicals. Rosin interviews several people, but the anecdotes of one political consultant, Lyric Hassler, provide the central image of the piece. Embarrassing memories from Hassler's teenage years -- "chastising her church youth group for wasting time on frivolous pizza parties, ignoring any TV that wasn't 'The 700 Club' -- become a symbol for what Rosin describes as evangelical political involvement in previous decades.
Hassler uses the word "Uchhhhhh" (or "Uccch" -- your spelling, like Rosin's, may vary) in recalling her teenager zeal, and Rosin projects it onto an entire adult subculture:
It's the sound of a movement shoving aside its past like so many pairs of braces. The conservative Christian political movement that burst on Washington in the '80s, the activists with their aborted-fetus placards and their heady plans to colonize school boards and their here-and-now visions of the Apocalypse, their early years are now a source of embarrassment to themselves.
Amen to them. No more thundering sermons on Wiccans and floods and child molesters, caught on tape and leaked by a political opponent. No more pronouncements about "signs" showing up in California. No more horrors from the Book of Revelation.
What, no reference to the Vanishing Hitchhiker or screams from Hell at a Siberian drilling site? Evangelicals who served in Congress during those years, such as Mark Hatfield and the late Rep. Paul B. Henry, don't appear in Rosin's story, perhaps because they weren't waving "aborted-fetus placards."
It's not that evangelicals are any less unusual in what they believe, Rosin suggests, but that they've learned good PR skills: "They may believe everything they believed before, but they've learned to speak in ways that are more measured and cautious and designed not to attract attention."
The tone continues as she describes newcomer John Thune:
Sen. John Thune is the movement's new David, having overthrown former Senate minority leader Tom Daschle. When talking about abortion, the South Dakota Republican prefers abstractions: "I like to connect my principled view with my policy objectives," he says. "Good principles can lead to good policy."
"Principles." "Policy." This could be Hillary Clinton talking about health care, Ralph Nader discussing emission standards. He could be anyone in Washington, talking about anything.
To secular humanists or even your average Democrat, Thune Land is a scary, scary frontier. "He is this new kind of Republican creature who puts an innocuous face on the religious right," says a Daschle aide who worked on the campaign. "Behind this cheerful frat-boy basketball-star persona is just the same old beast of the far right."
What qualifies Thune for this description? That never becomes clear, unless holding conservative positions on abortion or gay rights now qualifies as far right: "But Thune has nothing to hide. Ask him about abortion or gay rights, and he will answer straightforwardly, nicely, sensibly. He'd rather be elected deputy majority whip (which he just was) than lead a fringe movement."
Ah, but Rosin sees through the façade of civility. Evangelicals still believe that, whatever the question, Jesus is the answer:
Rick Warren heads the list, and he is the perfect embodiment of the new ethos. Warren, who is a pastor in California, wrote "The Purpose Driven Life," the best-selling hardcover book in U.S. publishing history. There is only one way to find purpose: "placing our faith in Christ," by being "born-again." Period.
Is that not the most horrifying punctuating mark you've read in months?
On another cultural front, the Post's David Montgomery makes a lighthearted visit to Church of the Pilgrims Presbyterian, a gay-friendly congregation in the District, for a covert screening of the gay-friendly episode of Postcards from Buster.
Montgomery writes of the episode -- TiVo'ed and burned onto a DVD by a church member's sister -- as if it's video samizdat for the preschool set.
He quotes this dialogue from the show:
Buster: So Gillian's your mom, too? Emma [age 3]: She's my stepmom. Buster: Boy, that's a lot of moms! Emma: Yup. [Showing framed family photo.] This is mom and Gillian right here. Buster: That's a nice picture. Emma: This is one of my favorite pictures. Buster: How come? Emma: Because it has my mom and Gillian, people I love a lot, and they read a lot to me.
Montgomery paraphrases Gillian Pieper, one of Emma's two moms, as saying the producers "had been looking for two-mom families and settled on hers after another option fell through."
It's probably only a matter of time before pirated versions of the episode become available on eBay. If GetReligion readers know where to screen the episode via the Internet, give us a holler.

Seen and Unseen - Artist Statement
In art, and in life, I strive to reach into where magic and the Great Mystery dwell. I enjoy how the process of making art can bring definition to my own ineffable and confounding experiences, family history and heritage, the feminine, my sense of the Divine and holy curiosity. Some works are very quick and intimately sketched, while others are tended to for long periods of time. Characters may be deeply rooted in a landscape, or trip and fall into alternate experiences within the same painting -- or they may just be travelling through. I love getting to know each character, even versions of myself through the act of painting.
I received my BFA in Printmaking from The Maine College of Art in 2005. A life long love of color, painting and making multiples through wild mark making brought me to explore print. Through making multiples and the alchemy of the process, I learned the practice of relinquishing the preciousness of my art. Print is inherently collaborative, and learning to create with and in front of others sparked in me a lot of what has now become my work as a teacher and spiritual cheerleader. Performance, installation and community based projects are also significant processes in my practice -- continuing with the practice of relinquishing preciousness and highlighting expression of the things that cannot be said with ink or paint, but only through presence, collaboration and interaction. The desire for presence brings me to art - and - brings me to companion friends and strangers alike in my private practice, sometimes at the same time. In recent years, I have returned to my love of pushing paint, working prolifically and ardently.
Below are some examples of my work. If you are interested in staying current with my work, and/or purchasing a piece, please stay in touch via facebook! You can also drop a line to email@example.com - please name the piece that captured your heart in the email title.

HOPE / RED THREAD - Featured Artist for the Redmond Arts Festival
I was invited to be the Featured Artist for the Redmond Arts Festival, through Vala Eastside. On July 8th, 9th and 10th, 2016, I facilitated a community art project called, HOPE / Red Thread. This project invited community members to write out their hopes, dreams, wants, wishes and visions for the Earth, People and Life on Earth, and our shared Future. Then participants will wrap their hopes on iron "receivers", spoke their hope aloud, and connected their hope with other hopes on the board with red thread.
There were so many moments concentrated in beauty and presence. I was brought to tears a few times. Children know what they want: "I want an end to violence." and "I dream of a world where all people have food and clean drinking water." and "I want to see a Pegasus!" and "I want a cat!" all exist next to each other. People with strongly apposing dreams and wants, political and spiritually diverse dreams are connected to each other with red thread. I counted 10 languages spoken! Some prayed when they whispered their hope aloud, and the air around them changed. Everything paused as they dropped in with full trust in the importance of naming their words out loud. Some were confused, and still participated, letting the spontaneity of the moment be enough. We didn't need to know the details of what others wrote, and we didn't need to think or be the same to work together and create a beautiful piece of art together. In these times of unrest and change, may we find ways to come together in kindness, compassion, happiness, self understanding and HOPE.
Below is a gallery of the progression of the project!

it was years of work and criticism that landed her the well-earned title of published author. not just published author, but nationwide best-selling author. her newfound riches allowed her the luxury of an apartment by the lake where she had vowed (but so far had failed) to watch the sunset over the water each day. the apartment was small and just right for a single writer and her cat, so on the night of the party it seemed like every nook was filled with a crowd even though the party consisted of only four people and the hostess.
she had only invited those who had touched her life for the better: there was adrian, her best friend and the substitute older brother she'd never had; there was shirley, shrill and ever moving, and inevitably the life of any party if only for her rapid flow of words and loud, contagious guffaw––but who was the most dependable confidante and who had be present at all emotional breakdowns since the two were preteens; jack, the second and final man she had ever loved, had made it—to her surprise—and she was touched. once lovers, they had had to cease their romance when he was unable to return her affection. they remained friends and she leaned on and opened up to jack in ways she could never do with others, maybe because she still loved him unashamedly.
adrian, shirley and jack were key chapters in the novel of her life and, oftentimes, when the black cloud enveloped her, she would think of these three and feel the cloud lighten into a grey. sometimes she talked to adrian in great detail about her emotional agony and it was adrian who, on more than one occasion, had rushed over and kept her from putting the full stop on the sentence of her life. sometimes she talked to jack about specific agonies and he always listened kindly, yet seemingly indifferently, and gave her whatever advice he had. she liked his advice because it was always logical and never said with the intent of making her feel better but rather of educating her. she listened, sometimes feeling worse, but simultaneously feeling better just because she'd talked to him and learned something. oftentimes, after conversations with jack, she would give in to the black cloud in the melodramatic way of heroines of yore who saw no point of living lest it was to live with their love. jack was never the cause of her decision to end her life, though she believed he often thought so and that idea angered her that he believed a mere man would ever have such an impact on her life.
she'd gotten into the habit of surrounding herself with her loved ones when she got sad—whoever was available at the time would usually do—but this day was special and she had felt it from the moment she woke up that morning. usually when she woke with a premonition it was of disaster. she'd wake feeling as if an anvil was placed upon her chest and walk around for days with that feeling until the object of her premonition came true: another rejected story from a magazine, a warning letter from visa or mastercard, a particularly hateful bit of reader mail, a sudden illness (either hers or her cat's) or a whole slew of possibilities that revealed themselves in their own sweet time. since the publication of her novel, the bad feelings had more or less disappeared until she woke this day with a particularly strange sensation. not a premonition of disaster, but of peace. waking up far earlier than her nine o'clock alarm, she stretched in bed under the shining rays of the morning sun, her cat stretching with her in unison. she smiled all of a sudden and allowed the feeling of calm exultation envelope her. she would go out and buy herself a new dress, she decided and that simple, happy thought only added to her growing gleeful calm.
it was as if the universe was finally on her side for a change. the first shop she entered greeted her with the perfect frock: polka dots on a silky a-line dress. the sort that would rustle deliciously whenever she moved and the skirt of which would expand and whirl like a carousel if ever she decided to do a little twirl. it was green and blue, her favourite colours, and just costly enough to be a splurge without being extravagant. her shopping done, she treated herself to a small brunch and then took the forty-five-minute walk home, unable to see anything wrong with the world as she knew it. it was wildly refreshing and liberating; it was a feeling she'd not been able to experience since she was a small child, unaware of the horror and agonies of the world and, worse, the horrors and agonies within herself. any other day she'd pull herself off this happy cloud to try to decipher what it all meant and why it was all happening so suddenly, but today she didn't feel the need to. today, she did what she had never been able to do before: she just let it all be.
at home, with still hours to go before her guests were due to appear, she decided to actually relax for a change. maybe she'd paint something or cook up a little something special for the party; or maybe she'd just sit and read the afternoon away. the possibilities seemed endless and she felt that exuberance in her chest—the one that was borne from a satisfied soul and which so rarely ever dignified her with a visit. her usually heavy soul felt light and the exuberance bounced around like a happy little ball with ample space to do its bouncing. she usually wished she could capture it, even a bit of it, and bottle it away. she'd put it in a small glass bottle and cork it tight so that she could see that little bit of happiness every day and remember that it came from her and that she was capable of it. it would be a way to push through those really bad days; however, today, that thought didn't cross her mind. it was as if she wasn't ever expecting to be sad again, and for a brief moment a sliver of panic passed through her before evaporating out the open window which was letting in that hot, bright afternoon sunshine of her favourite time of day.
she baked a cake as the afternoon shadows got longer. it was red velvet, her favourite because it was nothing more than regular cake dressed up a little bit and convincing people that it was something greater than it was. she often thought of herself that way. she treated herself to a bubble bath, listening to classic jazz and watching her fingers turn pruny while her cat napped on the bath mat beside her. she soaked until she shivered in the now-cold water and emerged with a freshness she couldn't recall having ever felt after a bath. it was a continuation of that exuberance that had began in her chest and now felt like a smokey cloud that was enveloping her more and more as the day went on.
she decided to get dressed for the party even though her guests weren't expected for another couple of hours. she wore her new dress, twirled in front of the mirror to gleefully watch the skirt swirl about her in a swoosh. she combed out her shoulder-length hair and decided to pin part of it back with a velvet bow barrette. the bow––a green very similar to the green in her new dress––contrasted perfectly with her dark, wavy hair, and she paired it with minimal makeup: some thin eyeliner, some black mascara, and her signature plum-coloured lipstick. For her feet, she settled on a pair of navy blue mary-jane heels.
by the time her guests arrived and settled in with a drink in their hands, she felt like the luckiest girl in the world. she was in awe of the fact that she had collected so many people who loved her so dearly and who cared so much for her well-being. the fact that the number of her party guests didn't exceed half a dozen didn't faze her: for once, she was finding it easy to focus on the good in her life.
"you know, i love the hell outta you," shirley said numerous times throughout the night. "i don't know what i'd do without you around." though already a little inebriated, her sentiment was real because shirley never said anything she didn't mean.
she smiled at shirley and floated on that love. there were people in the world who didn't even have one person or living thing who loved them that deeply and here she had four people plus a cat. she couldn't understand how she hadn't seen it before––how she hadn't seen just how lucky she was. but, the black cloud was very good at manipulating reality, she reminded herself, and oftentimes she was helpless against its power.
jack was the only one who commented on her noticeable good mood. adrian and shirley had known her long enough to know not to question a good thing and had, instead, shared in her merriment without a word. but jack noticed a different sort of aura around her, one that he'd never seen before. she wasn't saying or doing anything out of the ordinary, but somehow she was extraordinary tonight: her smile a little more radiant, her laugh a little more infectious, her touch a little more electric. when he asked her what she was so happy about, she just threw her head up and laughed––not in a rude or obnoxious way, jack thought, but a feminine way that was new to her.
she took a sip from her cocktail and ran her free hand down jack's forearm. "you're cute," she giggled before flitting off in a rustle of flowing skirts and cloud of her signature scent, of which he could never remember the name. he smiled to himself and took a swig of his beer, watching her as she talked animatedly with shirley. her cheeks were flushed and he enjoyed her for a minute: whatever spell of pleasure had been cast on her, it did her good. he hadn't seen her look so beautiful before. she no longer looked like she carried the world on her shoulders nor like she was being stalked by an intruder who was bound to kidnap her and keep her hostage for an indefinite amount of time. she looked, for the first time since he had known her, healthy. looking at her now, he couldn't believe that this was the same person who wrote those heart-wrenching stories of melancholia, or the same person he had held for six hours while she cried uncontrollably for no reason known to him (or to her, he suspected).
she was gleeful like she'd never been before. shirley noticed it too and fed off it while talking with her. when adrian joined them, shirley threw a glance at adrian, who returned the look with a smile. they couldn't remember the last time she had been this cheerful and they were glad for whatever had brought her such peace. shirley had the sudden urge to hug her and she did, both of them laughing as if they were still schoolgirls. shirley and adrian answered all the questions she asked them about their lives, their work, and their relationships. she expertly controlled the conversation so that she asked all the questions but gave no answers herself. she wanted to soak in her friends' lives for a change, instead of dwelling on her own unremarkable one. she asked questions, she savoured the answers, she showed affection with hugs, kisses, compliments, smiles. she even pecked jack on the lips in a hurried moment of affection, then laughed and wiped off the smudge of plum lipstick from his lower lip.
at close to 11:30 in the evening, she stole into her room promising to be back
when at midnight she hadn't yet emerged, adrian knocked on the bedroom door and called her name. when he got no answer after the third knock, shirley laughed and told him to stop pussyfooting around. she threw open the door and laughed more when she saw the hostess laying peacefully on her bed, on top of the covers, with her cat curled up by her head, purring loudly. jack poked his head over shirley's shoulder and smiled, touched by her innocence and the small smile that played on her sleeping mouth.
laughing, the guests began gathering their things and prepared to leave to allow their friend to peacefully enjoy her night's slumber. they left the bedroom door ajar and collected their coats and bags in drunken stage whispers before filing out and locking the door behind them with adrian's spare key to the apartment. none of them had noticed the empty, overturned bottle of prescription sleeping pills on the bedside, just within arm's reach of the sleeping hostess.

Martinez Heath
Martinez "Peanuts" Heath, a former renowned thoroughbred jockey and son of the late Warm Springs Chief Nathan Heath, died of natural causes in Warm Springs Oct. 16, 2006, at the age of 61. Mr. Heath was one of nine children born to Nathan and Lilly Heath in Simnasho, on May 4, 1945.
Heath was nicknamed Peanuts because of his size. As a youth he was active in the Boy Scouts and was the state marble shooting champion. At the age of 16 his prowess as a jockey was being recognized around the race tracks in the Northwest.
Legendary jockey Johnny Longden saw the young Heath ride at Portland Meadows as an apprentice and quickly took him under his wing. The Hall of Fame jockey said, "He has all the natural ability and it is up to his own desire as to how far he will go in racing."
In 1963, Heath rode seven winners in one day at Fresno, Calif. In 1966, he rode 105 winners. In 1967, he rode Renewed Vigor to victory in the Equipoise Mile in Chicago. Heath was the regular rider on champion thoroughbred Nodouble.
In 25 years of riding, Heath rode at major race tracks in the Bay Area, Southern California, Chicago, New York, Detroit, St. Louis, Florida, New Orleans and the Northwest. He was a force to be reckoned with on the race track. His fellow jockeys affectionately called him "Injun Number Nine."
Martinez, or "Marty" as he was known to his family, always had a quick smile and made friends wherever he traveled. On more than one occasion, he mentioned how he rode with the great Willie Shoemaker. "Shoemaker was called `the shoe' and I was called `the moccasin,'" Heath chuckled.
In the mid-1990s, when the tribe was getting ready to open a casino at Kah-Nee-Ta, Marty applied for a job. The general manager told him she couldn't hire him without a GED. The next day Martinez was back with his GED. The general manager was stunned. Martinez had passed his GED test with one of the highest scores ever achieved at Warm Springs. His smile at the graduation ceremony told those who watched that his victory was as big as any he had experienced in his illustrious jockey career.
Survivors include his daughters, Mariah Martina Heath and Tiffany Rose Heath; three grandchildren, all of California; brothers, Warm Springs Chief Delvis Heath, Sanders Heath and Benson Heath; and sister Nola Queahpama, all of Warm Springs. He was preceded in death by his parents, two brothers and two sisters.

Sales Summit: Introducing TOPO's Annual Sales Conference
We're excited to announce that the TOPO Sales Summit will take place April 7-8 in San Francisco. The Summit is a new conference where 600+ sales leaders representing over $50B in high growth revenue will share the specific best practices, patterns, and plays that they use to drive exceptional revenue growth. Our objective is to make the Summit the most valuable sales conference in the world. You'll have access to over 30 sessions, workshops, and keynotes focused on the hottest topics in sales leadership, sales development, sales technology, and sales effectiveness. You'll also have a great time at our Summit Bash, exclusive dinners, and 1:1 networking sessions.
Visit the Sales Summit website to learn more.
If you're a sales professional interested in designing, building, and managing a highly scalable sales function, the Summit will be the most valuable event you attend all year.
Sales Summit Tracks
At the Summit, you'll have access to over 30 sessions, workshops, and keynotes that cover the hottest topics in sales. With an unparalleled lineup of speakers from high growth sales organizations, we've designed the Summit around four tracks.
Sales Leadership – The sales leadership track provides a detailed look into how the world's best sales leaders design, build, and manager their sales organizations. You'll learn how high growth companies use sales process, organizational design, sales technology, and metrics to drive exceptional revenue growth.
Sales Effectiveness – The sales effectiveness track focuses on the tactics that individual salespeople can use to drive higher conversion rates, faster sales cycles, and larger average deal sizes. Sessions will cover critical topics such as conducting discovery, delivering demos, and managing the "dark stage".
Sales Technology – Our sales tech track digs into how technology is transforming the way we sell. Covering much more than CRM, this track analyzes the different sales technology stacks that high growth companies are using in areas like sales intelligence, automation, and visibility.
Sales Development – Covering one of the most important trends in sales today, our sales development track will show you exactly how the world's fastest growing companies are using SDRs to drive effective lead follow up and outbound prospecting.
Summit Speakers
We've recruited sales leaders from the world's best sales organizations to speak at the Summit. You'll get an inside view into how sales leaders from companies like Box, Google, and LinkedIn design, build, and manage their sales functions. They'll dig into topics like sales process, key plays, organizational design, tech stacks, and metrics.
You'll also have access to sessions and workshops lead by the TOPO Analyst team. Driven by data collected from hundreds of high growth sales organizations, you'll take away specific patterns, plays, and behaviors proven to have a transformative impact on revenue growth. You'll also be able to spend time with Analysts in Q&A sessions to ensure that your specific issues and questions are addressed.
Finally, Jeff Ma, a member of the infamous MIT Blackjack Team and ESPN Analyst, will keynote the Summit. Jeff created an ingenious method for counting cards – using talent, creativity, math and teamwork to win millions in Las Vegas (card counting, by the way, is not illegal; casinos just don't like it.) Ma was the inspiration for the best-selling book Bringing Down the House and the hit movie, 21, which topped the box office in its first two weeks. Jeff will show you how to use systems thinking, data, and teamwork to make better decisions and achieve faster revenue growth.
Exclusive Parties and Dinners
We're organizing a variety of social activities at the Summit, including what promises to be one of the best parties of the year – our Summit Bash. The Bash takes place on the Embarcadero in a beautiful indoor/outdoor space with views of the waterfront, cityscape, and Bay Bridge. We have an amazing music lineup, some of San Francisco's best food, and freehanded bartenders. We're also hosting exclusive dinners and networking sessions for Summit attendees so you can meet the people responsible for revenue at hundreds of high growth companies. These social events will take place at some of San Francisco's best restaurants and bars. It's a great chance to network and talk revenue in a smaller, more engaging setting.
High Value, High Impact
We believe that Sales Summit is one of the best investments you can make as a sales professional. Why? At TOPO, we have a saying that "specificity wins". In simple terms, this means that we believe the more specific we are in our research, advisory support, playbooks, and events, the more value our clients receive. The Summit is no different. Each and every session at the Summit will provide specific, actionable takeaways that you can take back to your sales organization to increase revenue growth.
What you won't find here is a bunch of 30,000 foot thought leadership and vacuous pontification. The Summit is about helping you increase revenues with specific strategies and tactics that have been battle tested by the world's fastest growing companies. Our objective is to ensure you leave the Summit with specific strategies and tactics that will allow your sales organization to grow revenues faster.
We're committed to making this the most valuable sales event in the world. We hope you can join us at the Summit!

Pat Archbold has a great article on the Era of Dissidence being just about over. He's a little more optimistic about it than I am. I do believe that the "Springtime of Vatican II" is thankfully turning into the "Winter of Dissident Discontent", but I have doubts about whether I (at 49) will live long enough to really see it finally die it's much deserved death.
And of course I'm speaking of the Church here in America. The USCCB has been strong in fighting back against the Obama administration, but at the parish level, there's a longer fight to fight. We still have some parishes that are in de-facto schism, and even in some of the stronger parishes, the seeds of revolt are still there. The Universities are overrun with dissent, as are many grade and high schools (like the one in NY(?) where the Jesuit superior thought it okay for a guy to bring a boyfriend to a Prom).
The dissenters have wormed their way into all levels of the Church; it's going to take a spiritual Orkin man to run them all out, and I think it's going to be a long process.

Siti was 48 years old when she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer Stage 4. She underwent a total hysterectomy in 2005 followed by three cycles of chemotherapy. She gave up chemo and took herbs.
Part 1 – She Gave Up Chemotherapy and Turned to Herbs
At first, Siti and her husband did not believe in what we at CA Care are doing. Many times, they were "pushed" by a friend to come and see us. Eventually they relented and came to see us in Penang. From then on, it was no turning back. Siti's health improved. It has been seven years now and she is doing well.
Part 2 – Initially We Did Not Believe You
Our interview with Siti was done in 2005. She had been taking our herbs for the past five years.
Part 3 – My Experience With Chemotherapy and Your Herbs
One week of suffering. After I regained my strength, I went for another shot. I couldn't eat and my body felt very tired. During that time I felt like dying. I could not carry anything and I was drained off my energy. After I recovered, I have to go for another "bang". The second chemo was worse than the first one. But for the third cycle I was alright – that was after I started to take your herbs.

Having been to Bone Daddies and a being regular at Tonkotsu, Shoryu was next on the list. It's highly coveted by fellow obsessive noodlemeisters as the place to go too. Have I just sparked off a fierce ramen debate already? I love the cult factor of die hard fans grumbling and debating as to which one conquers noodle land. So Shoryu Denman Street opened this summer as an addition to it's older sibling on Regent Street. You can also stay lubricated with a plethora of saki's available at these larger premises.
AA Gill throws in his tuppence – it's good enough for you sir, it's good enough for me!
As I walk in, half the ramen folk here are Japanese – that is a good sign of things to follow. (My litmus test of good cuisine is when it's full of natives, it generally works anyway). There are 6 different tonkotsus' and 8 miso based broths to choose from.
There was an added benefit of knowing exactly what ramen you were eating – a great touch guys.
I can't wait to try out the other dishes for a future visit – it would be rude not to!
The booze choice is very respectable;
I opt for the Karaka Tan Tan Tonkotsu. It was awesome beyond words. "Tonkotsu with a twist, rich and spicy fried mince pork in white miso & garlic with added garlic and chiu chow chilli oil". Albeit the garlic was subtle in flavour, the rest of the dish really clicked with my taste buds, creamy broth, well seasoned egg, equally so for the pork mince too, it made for an intense, hearty, rich bowl of ramen. The pickled ginger, wood ear mushrooms, bean sprouts and nori really complimented the dish, side condiments weren't necessary. I love the angular spoon made for slurping that milky broth.
My pal opts for the Tori Kara-Age Men; "shitake and konbu soy broth with gluten free aka miso, fried chicken, nitamago, kikurage, nori kelp, mushrooms, spring onion and fishcake". What a mouth full but he enjoyed his chicken nugget ramen for sure!
The hirata buns, London's latest foodie fad were delicious but not memorable. Of course I order the belly of pork, the sweet mayo, cucumber and lettuce work well to brighten up the bite. It's not a bad dish at all though, expectations are just set quite high based on the one's I had at Ippudo in NYC, which were an instant hangover cure and a sensory overload for the taste buds. What didn't help their cause were mainly the buns. Having been in Flesh & Buns moments before, theirs were fluffy, springy and with a great chew and non comparable as a result.
The verdict;

Consulting gets tricky when you set it in context. You've done the plans. You know the requirements. You're ready to start writing your report. And yet, you continue to find things that you don't understand.
Consulting is about control – or at least determining what you can control and trying to find a way that you can ignore the rest.

RIDGEFIELD PARK — A Ridgefield Park Animal Hospital employee was issued 71 summonses tied to the alleged abuse of 40 German Shepherds taken from the hospital earlier this month.
Edison Davalos will appear in Central Municipal Court on June 3 on animal cruelty charges that he abused several German Shepherds, said Maureen Parenta, a spokeswoman for the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office. The charges follow the Bergen County SPCA's raid of the Ridgefield Park Animal Hospital on May 4, when officials said they found dogs in cramped and unprotected cages.
Davalos has vehemently denied that the animals were abused, saying that the dogs were well fed and kept in appropriately-sized cages. He didn't immediately respond to calls and emails on Thursday regarding the recent charges.
Each of the animal cruelty charges, which were filed over the weekend by the SPCA and the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office's Animal Cruelty Task Force, carry a possible $500 to $2,000 fine.
Following a report alleging abuse at the hospital, the SPCA took 40 German Shepherds from the facility on May 4. The Bergen County Animal Shelter took in 29 of the 40 dogs, since Davalos was allowed to keep five of the dogs, and the remaining six were given to people who had arranged adoption.
Shelter officials said many of the dogs had been kept in cramped quarters for an extended period of time. As a result, some of the dogs suffered from deformities in their hind legs and lacked muscle tone, they said. Davalos, a dog breeder, had been caring for the German Shepherds and preparing them for adoption.
Earlier this week, the shelter announced that the young adult and adult German Shepherds have been spayed and neutered, and that it has started contacting potential adoption candidates. The 11 puppies taken from the hospital will not be available for several weeks, according to the shelter's Facebook page.
Representatives for the Ridgefield Park Animal Hospital didn't immediately respond to calls or emails for comment on the charges filed against Davalos. Earlier this month, an attorney for the hospital and its head veterinarian, Paul Kim, said that there was no evidence of animal mistreatment.

It was a chilly day with a little bit of sun. I wore my warm white bomber jacket from Forever21, Lola Lora Sport Top from MYVLclothing.com, joggers, and my Zooshoo sneaker. This look is very casual and comfortable. It is good for a lazy day or a hangout day with some friends. Pairing this whole outfit with an infinity scarf would keep your neck even warmer also.

We will not be attending SXSW this year, but we will be there in spirit. We recently completed work doing VFX and Color Grading for the South by Southwest film festival bumpers, with the creative team behind the beautiful Pixar short film "The Blue Umbrella", and SXSW just published a quick interview about it.
We will have much more press and news about this soon, and eventually we will post a more detailed behind-the-scenes of how we brought everything to life in these bumpers, but for now, we couldn't feel luckier to have collaborated with Saschka Unseld and Kyle Ranson-Walsh in this adventure.
If you go to SXSW, let us know what you thought! Read more here:
