Vanabins (also known as vanadium-associated proteins or vanadium chromagen) are a specific group of vanadium-binding metalloproteins. Vanabins are found almost exclusively in the blood cells, or vanadocytes of some ascidians and tunicates (sea squirts). The vanabins extracted from tunicate vanadocytes are often called hemovanadins. These organisms are able to concentrate vanadium to a level more than, and sometimes much more than, 100 times higher than in the surrounding seawater. Vanabin proteins seem to be involved in collecting and accumulating this metal ion. At present there is no conclusive understanding of why these organisms collect vanadium.
German chemist Martin Henze discovered vanadium in ascidiaceans in 1911.[1][2][3]
Vanabins as oxygen carriers[edit]
Because of the high concentration of vanadium in the blood, it has been assumed that vanabins are used for oxygen transport like iron-based hemoglobin or copper-based hemocyanin. Unfortunately no scientific evidence can be found to back this hypothesis.
The highest concentration of vanadium found so far, 350 mM, was found in the blood cells of Ascidia gemmata belonging to the suborder Phlebobranchia. This concentration is 10,000,000 times higher than that in seawater.[4]
Vanabins accumulate vanadium in the blood cells and produce V(III) species and vandanyl ions (V(IV)) from orthovanadate ions (V(V)), with the use of NADPH as a reducing agent. Vanabins also transport the reduced vanadium species into the vacuoles of vanadocytes (vanadium-containing blood cells). The vacuoles are kept at a very acidic pH of 1.9, made possible by pumping hydrogen ions into the vacuoles by use of energy intensive H+-ATPase. All the use of NADPH and ATP to collect and maintain the vanadium is extremely energy intensive, unusual for oxygen transporting proteins.
Other oxygen transporting proteins have a very low dissociation constant with their metal prosthetic group and bind these groups tightly. Vanabins on the other hand have a moderate dissociation constant and do not tightly bind vanadium. Most importantly, because of this moderate dissociation constant, vanadium is usually found free-floating and separated from any proteins inside the vacuoles. This is completely different from other oxygen transporting proteins.
Vanabins not oxygen carriers[edit]
The most convincing evidence against vanadium in use for oxygen transport is that many ascidians and tunicates also have hemocyanin in their blood that could be assumed to handle all oxygen transport.
The use of vanabins and vanadium for oxygen transport in ascidians and tunicates is doubtful. Another hypothesized reason for these organisms collecting vanadium is to make themselves toxic to predators, parasites and microorganisms.
Technological use of vanabins[edit]

The world oceans carry diluted concentrations of rare minerals. Total amount of gold, silver, manganese and platinum (among others) in all the world's oceans rivals that of terrestrial mines, yet because of the low concentration of these minerals in sea water, extraction has been considered impractical. Understanding the mechanisms behind how some organisms concentrate rare minerals (such as siderophores) from sea water could make it biotechnologically possible to grow and farm organisms to filter sea water and extract these minerals, similar to bioleaching.

Changes to HMO licensing
Extension of HMO licensing officially comes into play from 1 October 2018, meaning key changes for HMO Landlords.
Currently, mandatory Houses in Multiple Occupation licensing applies if all of the following are true of the property:
- The property is occupied by people who aren't related to each other.
- The property being occupied has 3 storeys or more.
- There are five or more occupiers from at least two households where facilities are shared.
From 1 October 2018 mandatory licensing of HMOs will be extended so that smaller properties used as HMOs in England which house 5 people or more in 2 or more separate households will in many cases require a licence. The 3 or more storeys element of the current HMO licensing will no longer apply, most likely leading to a large increase in mandatory HMO licensing.
Also, minimum room size conditions will be introduced for mandatory or additional HMO licences. These conditions must be attached to licences granted on or after 1 October 2018 by the local authority issuing the licence.
To find out more about these conditions and everything else you need to know about the new HMO regulations, view the official guidance reform.
Whilst TMW won't be making any changes to our current HMO criteria for 1 October, we'll continue to assess the implications of the new regulations and communicate any changes accordingly.

Widely considered one of the finest and most influential ghost story writers ever to have lived, MR James revolutionised the genre, drawing the reader into portrayals of banal British life which are then undercut by horrifying encounters with the supernatural. Now, Torquay-based filmmaker Ed Chappell is adapting one of James' most famous, and gruesome, stories, Lost Hearts, into a film.
This updated version of the tale centers on a young boy named Steven, who, following an argument between his parents is sent to live with his Uncle Abney and his wife Mary at a remote house. While there, Steven uncovers a few unpleasant surprises. I caught up with Ed for a chat.
Ed Chappell: Lost Hearts is an MR James ghost story and I was inspired to do it through reading the original story. My Dad has a large collection of ghost stories and he forced me to read them! However, once I read this particular tale, I thought it would be quite a good idea for a film. Although I was aware it had been done already, I thought maybe I could update it.
Sean Wilson: Are you filming locally in Torbay?
EC: Yes, because there's a lot of diversity and areas in which to film. Everything we need for the film is around us!
SW: Where are you filming, specifically?
EC: We've filmed in a lot of places, actually. Cockington has featured extensively because of the woods and countryside. A lot of the film is set in the woods to create a sense of isolation.
SW: What have you been working on today? [08/07/2012]
EC: We've been recording the sound for a couple of scenes. It's a challenge filming outdoors and competing with the wind and dog walkers!
SW: Who are some of the actors involved in the film?
EC: We have Chesney Hawkes-Porter who's playing the 14-year-old Stephen, Bryony Reynolds as Mary, Sam Morgan as Abney and James Cotter as Parkes, a small but significant role. We also have Jon Cook as our soundman behind the scenes.
SW: And what's the other scene you're shooting today?
EC: It's Stephen's first dream sequence when he wakes up on the landing and sees some strange things …
SW: And you're filming this in your own house?
EC: Yes! It's so photogenic and ideal for the scene. I'm aiming to make it as dark and dim as possible, with maximum contrast between light to create a sense of fear. We're getting there with filming, slowly but surely -I'd say we're coming up to about halfway through. We aim to have it done by the end of July.
SW: Have you watched any classic ghost stories on film to get ideas?
EC: Yes, I watched the recent BBC adaptation of another MR James ghost story, O Whistle and I'll Come to You, starring John Hurt. I thought that was really good and drew a lot of inspiration from that. It's all slightly uneasy, there's nothing too obvious, it's all subtle and in the mind.
SW: When it comes to the ghostly effects in your film, are you going to imply things off-camera for the most part?
EC: Yes, subtle things in the corner and subtle emphasis through the music which will be subtle in the background.
SW: When it comes to the music, what's the plan there?
EC: It's going to be very subtle and ambient, very strange with a lot of lingering high notes. Just weird sounds that aren't particularly prominent but hinting at something monstrous

First off, this is not a review of Amazon's Kindle Fire ($199). I have in fact never even held the Fire, so why do I want one? The main reason is because I can check out books from my local library on it for free. Yes you read that right! I go to a Volusia County Library at least twice a week to check out books, magazines, TV episodes, and movies. Do I have time to read/watch everything? No, but it doesn't cost me anything (except a few cents in gas) and I think it's amazing that my membership extends to a device like a Kindle. Well, you can check out books with an iPad too. That's true, but the Fire doesn't have the $499+ price tag.
But you can do so much more with the iPad! That may be true, but notice I said I WANT the Fire, I don't really NEED either device. I have actually used the iPad and it is a pretty robust device, but quite frankly it would not replace my laptop. Right now, my most used computer programs are Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, all of which can't be used to their full extent on the iPad. In addition, if I had a Fire/iPad it would rarely leave the house. When I travel, most of the time I'm the driver and if I'm not, then I'm sleeping or talking to other passengers (no leisurely train commute here, sigh). When I arrive at my destination, it's usually to perform some function that also doesn't require a Fire/iPad. Pushing my cart in the grocery store while engrossed in a thriller may cause some problems. Clean up aisle 10! Besides I would rather put $500 towards buying a new laptop.
There is also the issue of size. The Fire is smaller than the iPad which could be negative or positive depending on your point of view. A little birdie told me that Amazon may be planning a bigger Kindle. Read the chirps here.
So why not get the regular much cheaper Kindle if all you're going to do is read? Well I wouldn't just read. I do check out movies/TV shows from the library too. Although video is not offered for the Kindle by the Volusia County system, the Kindle Fire has apps like Netflix and Hulu or you can subscribe to Amazon Prime. The $79 per year Prime Membership includes:
- FREE Two-Day Shipping on millions of items
- No minimum order size
- Unlimited instant streaming of thousands of movies and TV shows with Prime instant videos
- A Kindle book to borrow for free each month from the Kindle Owners' Lending Library
I would even use the Fire to play a game or two (or 10). Simply, I think the Kindle Fire is a good value. We'll see if my sentiment changes if I ever get one. It's not really high on my priority list. There's still joy in actually holding a book. By the way, I highly encourage you to check out all the resources your local library has to offer. I decided to write a post on this because the topic has come up a lot for me recently. If you want to hear from someone who has actually used the Fire then read Digital Desi, a site dedicated to this device. Do you have a Fire or an iPad? Let me know what you think?

SHGs either through Self Help Promoting Institutes (SHPIs) or through Microfinance
Institutes (MFIs).
Access to essential medicines is a matter of global concern. It was estimated that
499-649 million people (50% to 65% of the population)1 do not have regular access
to essential medicines in India. Ill health & economic losses push 22 lakhs Indian
below poverty line every year. In 1999-2000, 5% of total household consumption expenditure
went into health spending; drugs accounting for the bulk of 4%. In rural areas households
spend over 6% and urban households 5%.2 50% of total medicines expenditure goes
on buying irrational medicines.
CDMU has taken an initiative to focus on those NGOs who are providing microcredit
to the SHGs, so that interested NGOs can provide services to women's groups to ensure
accessibility of proper health care and health products to their members and their
family when they are sick along with the loan for business.
In the last years, CDMU has been supporting a health project (Microfinance & Health
Protection Project) of Bandhan on capacity building for rational use of medicines
especially on health product related information as well as supplies of low cost
essential quality medicines for their community level volunteers.
In the rural areas it is found that there is no access to public health facilities
or retail outlet [or if available it is not cost effective] for urgent need of commonly
used health products. Therefore CDMU can enhance the access of those essential commonly
used product to the community through SHPIs and MFIs at an affordable cost. Thus
saves family income on buying medicines. In many situation it was found that many
occasion a family spend on buying unnecessary medicines like vitamin, tonics and
cough syrups or through self medication.
CDMU can expand its services to SHPIs or MFI of those areas in the following areas:
Steps for expansion of services to MFIs or SHPIs:

Wonderspaces Virtual Reality, The Swingin' with Dean Show
Events December 12-December 18, 2019
Various Authors noon, Dec. 7
This ride offers scenic views of San Diego Bay from downtown to the South Bay, and up to Coronado. There are sweeping views of the ocean along the Silver Strand and of downtown San Diego from Tidelands Park in Coronado. Best of all, most of the route is along designated bike paths referred to as the Bayshore Bikeway. Plans are under way to complete the last segment from downtown to National City. In the interim, this segment is the most challenging because it is on city streets with traffic and a portion of the road is in need of resurfacing, making for a bumpy ride for a couple of miles. The ride can be done in either direction, but it is nice to get the rough part out of the way at the start because the ride gets better the farther you go.
Begin the ride at the Coronado Ferry Landing, just north of the entrance to the USS Midway Museum. Follow Harbor Drive past the convention center, down to Civic Center Drive, about five miles from the ferry landing. This is the most challenging stretch of the loop. Take care in crossing railroad tracks that cross the road. After this stretch, the route is either in bike lanes, along lightly traveled roads, or on bike paths. Turn right on Civic Center Drive and then left on Tidelands Avenue, following this street for 1.25 miles. Turn left on Waterfront and go past the Waterfront Grill at Pier 32 Marina. The Bayshore Bikeway begins at the stop sign. Follow it for about 0.3 mile and look for a left turn that leads over a bridge down to South Bay. It you miss this turn, the bike path will lead east toward Bonita Plaza Shopping Center.
This segment of the Bayshore Bikeway ends at E Street and Bay Blvd., at the entrance to the Living Coast Discovery Center. Follow Bay Blvd. to H Street and turn right to join the next segment of the Bayshore Bikeway on the south side of the street. The bikeway continues for 1.82 miles and then merges back on Bay Blvd. at Palomar Street. Ride past the South Bay Salt Works and the evaporation ponds, following the road to the east where it meets Frontage Road. Turn right and in 0.25 mile begins another segment of the bikeway that extends 9 miles into Coronado. This is the most exhilarating part of the ride with miles of open road and great views, passing the Silver Strand, the Naval Amphibious Base, and the Hotel del Coronado. Turn right along the bike path at Glorietta Bay Blvd. The bike path will end shortly. Continue along Glorietta Bay Blvd., past the golf course. On the north side of the golf course, the Bayshore Bikeway begins again and follows the bayshore past Tidelands Park for 2.8 miles, ending at Peohe's restaurant in Coronado. The ferry landing is 0.10 mile further. The ferry to San Diego from the Coronado side leaves hourly on the half-hour. The cost is $4.25 for a one-way adult ticket. Tickets can be purchased at the landing or if you have cash, payment can be paid aboard the ferry. There is no charge for bicycles on the ferry.

For their Saturday spotlight at last weekend's Emerald City ComiCon, the four comic creators behind the growing media brand Man of Action kept things informal and friendly. Writers Steven Seagle and Joe Kelly stood in front of the panel platform while Joe Casey leaned casually at the end, and artist Duncan Rouleau parked himself behind the podium. The four friends recalled how they created Man of Action many years ago in response to "wanting a place to sit down at the San Diego Comic-Con." They grew tired of wandering around the large convention and decided they needed a booth. In order to have a booth they needed a company. Thus Man of Action was born.
While awaiting a solution to a technical delay with the preview to their new Cartoon Network show "Generator Rex," Seagle gave a brief history. "The first year we were a company, somebody walked up to us and asked what we do. We said, 'Comics.' He said 'Do you do film?' We looked at each other and said, 'Yeah. We do film.'"
Over the course of the next few years at San Diego, the group added video games and television shows to their profile in much the same way. Upon claiming to be capable of televison, they were introduced to Cartoon Network, who wanted a superhero show. The four went home, thought up 20 show ideas worth keeping in three days and pitched them to the network. The eighth idea was "Ben 10." The network bought it.
They went on to work on a few more shows. When Seagle announced that they worked on "Bakugan," every kid in the room erupted in joyful unison. Man of Action supervises scripts, plots and occasionally fly to Japan, "which is pretty fun" said Seagle. They consult on other shows as well as engage in feature film negotiations with Japan and Korea, though no property names were mentioned. Kelly wrote the video game "Darksiders." After a great deal of success in the entertainment field, they launched their own Man of Action Comics imprint through Image Comics. Major titles include Casey's "GODLAND," Kelly's "I Kill Giants," Rouleau's "The Nightmarist" and Seagle's "Soul Kiss."
As the wait continued for the technical fix that would make the preview possible, Seagle took time to field a few audience questions. "Generator Rex" as it turns out, started as a comic called "M. Rex" published by Image in 1999. The M stood for Machina, and though the comic only lasted a few issues, the idea held in the minds of the creators. Eventually they pitched it to Cartoon Network.
The basic premise is that a kid, Rex, can grow machines from his body with the aid of nanites that exist inside his body. The story later hints that an explosion or event has something to do with the nanite origin, but doesn't disclose anything further. In the world of the show, everything is full of these nanites, but most are dormant. A few people or things are affected more than normal and turn into monsters. In Rex's case, he is the only person who can control the nanites. He is able to create machines that grow out of his body which he then uses to kick major monster "tukhus." He works for an organization called Providence that is responsible for the defeat and or capture of the monsters.
Rex has a partner named Six, named so because he is the sixth deadliest man in the world. He's possibly, though unconfirmed by the creators, a monster. Rex also has a talking, blaster wielding chimp as an ally.
The original name of "M. Rex" was not used because of copyright infringement. After investigation, Man of Action discovered that in response to the term T-rex (the dinosaur), a company had trademarked every letter of the alphabet followed by -Rex in the interest of future marketing possibilities. Besides "M-Rex" being a trademark, "Machina Rex was too high falootin'" said Kelly.
"Generator Rex" is PG as opposed to "Ben 10" which is G. Seagle added that if parents are comfortable with their kids watching the "Clone Wars" cartoon, then they should be fine with "Generator Rex." "It's better than 'Clone Wars' too," joked Casey.
Further questions probed the creative process - "How do you come up with characters?" "How do you work together?" The group all met each other while working on different "X-Men" titles. Eventually, they all ended up working on "Superman" together and were given the directive to "not draw too much attention to the comic because of the movie that is coming out soon." So they spent eight months thinking of how to accomplish this. In that situation, each of them discovered how well and honestly they communicated in a creative arena.
"Do you know how many 'Bakugan' they make?" asked one of the attending children, to which an unknown source replied, "As many as you will buy."
"How long after 'Ben 10' was sold did it actually get produced?"
"Ben 10" sat around for two years. The four creators wrote several treatments, two bibles, the manifest of the show, and a pilot. As they waited, they learned that many Hollywood production companies shun shows that push a toy line. Apparently ideas will get pitched to a creative team using a line of toys as the springboard. However, as soon as Bandai purchased the toy rights to "Ben 10," the show was greenlit. "So no. They do not make shows to sell toys," said Seagle. "If you make a show based on toys, it's not usually a very good show."
Man of Action appreciate character more than anything. They feel like a good idea transcends the medium. They believe in the passion behind an idea, not formulating an idea based on popular trends or market research. "You have to do things that you believe in. Don't second guess," said Rouleau.
"Generator Rex" was purchased two and a half years ago, the animation started a year ago, and Man Of Action saw the first episode a few weeks ago. According to Seagle, "that is a very fast cycle for animation." Everyone else will see it on April 23.
"Do you guys find it better to work on your own stuff rather than comics that have a long heritage, that you can't really mess up?" asked an audience member.
"I think Joe Casey can mess up any character" replied Seagle. The freedom of working with your own characters is the best for them, he went on. "Rah Rah creator owned!" replied Casey. He explained that working for major titles from major publishers actually helps launch the public faith in your work so you can be successful with your own creations.
Finally, the appropriate computer cable was delivered, and the audience was able to get a glimpse of "Generator Rex." They first showed a rough clip featuring pencil test art and fully realized animation set to a loud and energetic rock song. It depicted a teenager manifesting bright orange machinery sprouting from his limbs. Giant fists, chainsaws, motorcycles and blasters came to life amidst citywide action sequences featuring giant monsters and fantastic vehicles. The voice over tells the audience that "One day everything changes. The life you knew is gone, for good!"
The promo clip provided by Cartoon Network was shorter, but comprised of fully animated sequences. The last bit announced a premier date of April 23. Voice talents include JK Simmons of "Spider Man," Fred Savage of "The Wonder Years" and Alex Vega from "Spy Kids."
In response to the question "Why are all of Rex's tools orange?" designer Duncan Rouleau revealed that he wanted the machines to have an organic feel, so he chose to make them copper.
"What sort of female characters will be in 'Generator Rex'?" asked a dan. Doc Holiday is a scientist working for Providence, that fills the roles of strong female character and big sister to Rex, the creators explained.
"How big of a success do you think 'Generator Rex' will be?" came on final query.
"Giagantic!" replied Seagle.

Hello and welcome to my website.
I've been writing all my life, telling stories to the neighbourhood kids even before I could write. I started out writing science fiction with some short stories published in the small press. Later I moved into mysteries with short stories published at first. Then last year I had my first mystery novel published.
How could things get any better? Finishing the sequel to the novel and getting it published is one way.

Lily, I love you. But asking someone to come see your play is like asking for a ride to the airport, or to crash on someone's couch or to help you move. Call a cab, book a room, hire some movers and repeat after me, friends don't let friends come see their crappy play! -Barney, How I Met Your Mother
With the ever fabulous duo: Impulsive Addict and Seriously Shawn.
-I officially got the keys to our home yesterday! Woohoo!!
-I scheduled this post because my internet is off at the old place. Here's hoping that the Comcast modem gets here quick!
-The first thing I did at the new place was attack the months of dirt and cobwebs that had accumulated. My kitchen doesn't seem nearly as dark now that the dirt's gone!
-The movers should be here by 8:30 this morning. My first time using movers and I'm pretty excited about it. It's going to be so weird not helping, but also awesome.
-I'm going to be in an unpacking frenzy this week. I can't wait to put our personal touches on everything.
-Hope you're all having a great week. Can you believe it's already mid November? Where the heck did the time go?!

Employees from arms dealers and defence firms that have recently signed huge government contracts are currently working at the MoD. Guido has learned that BAE Systems and Rolls Royce, who have been awarded billions of pounds worth of MoD contracts over the last few months, have five employees inside the department. The MoD is also employing a staffer from Babcock, who were awarded a £65 million contract in December. The full list of MoD employees on secondment from private firms that have recently signed multi-million pound contracts with the department is below:
- 3 BAE Systems employees- £1.2 billion contract signed in December
- 2 Rolls Royce employees – £1 billion contract signed in June
- 1 Babcock employee – £65 million contract in December
- 1 Carillion employee – £45 million deal last year
- 1 Lend Lease employee – £17 million deal in June
- 1 GVA employee- appointed to identify contractors for Deepcut relocation in July
Intriguingly, the MoD is refusing to disclose the employers of a further ten staff members currently working in the department. It wouldn't be the MoD without a cosy relationship between ministers, taxpayers' cash and private defence interests…

Cheese Plate Inspiration
Virtually anything can be a creative outlet. Like snowflakes, no two cheese plates are the same. Creating a cheese plate should be a fun, creative experience. Color and variety are key. Every cheese plate should include cheese and crackers or a sturdy bread. Nuts, fruits, vegetables, jams, honeys, mustard, meats, and more can be added to create additional interest. We've even started doing themed plates. There are literally no limits and no rules. In fact, my favorite way to create a cheese plate is to use the season and the items in my refrigerator and pantry as inspiration.
For Valentine's Day, I use lots of reds and browns, even incorporating chocolate. I like the texture of my cheese plate to appear almost velvety (see cheese plate pictured below). For spring, I incorporate more greens and vivid colors, even shaping the arrangement to look like a flower (see cheese plate pictured above). Sometimes its fun to label the cheeses to let people know what they are and where they are made (see photo at the top of this post).
Let life and the world around you be your inspiration. Most importantly, have FUN and enjoy fresh, simple, quality food arranged in a way that makes you feel happy.

Kanye West has loved Kim kardashian practically forever, which is sweet.
The rapper, who previously admitted he fell in love with the reality TV star long before they started dating in 2012, has now said he originally asked his now-wife to marry him seven long years ago.
The 37-year-old told the crowd during his performance at London's Wireless Festival on Friday night: "I told Kim seven years ago I would marry her and I made it happen."
He added: "I just wanted to make something awesome and be awesome and change the world, and that's exactly what I plan to do."
The couple, who have 12-month-old daughter North, tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in Florence, Italy in May after getting engaged in San Francisco on Kim's 33rd birthday in October, and Kanye previously admitted during an interview with Ryan Seacrest: "I just knew I wanted her to be my girl for a long time.
"I remember I saw a picture of her and Paris Hilton, and I remember telling my boy, 'Have you seen that girl Kim Kar-dijon?'"
However, it seems Kanye's romantic declaration wasn't enough to impress the crowd, as hundreds of fans reportedly left the gig early when he halted his performance to give a 20-minute speech about discrimination within the fashion industry, according to the MailOnline.
He told the audience: "I'm not going to mention any names but... Nike, Louis Vuitton and Gucci. Don't discriminate against me 'cos I'm a black man making music."
One fan said: "He was laying into the 'machine' and ranting about the public's perception of him. Hundreds of people left the park early because they were so bored of his long rant.
"There was serious booing towards the end of the speech, as people got so fed up and just wanted to hear him perform."

Identity politics has been steadily growing in influence. Until recently, however, the promoters of identity politics tended to deny that they were adhering to an identitarian perspective. They often argued that 'identity politics' was an invention of the right – usually of white males who were desperately clinging on to their unearned privileges. Some of them went so far as to claim that it was actually the critics of identity politics who were most wedded to the identitarian worldview.
More recently, that old defensive tone with which activists downplayed their embrace of identity politics has given way to a more confident, even aggressive stance. It seems identity politics is gradually becoming more conscious of itself as a coherent and influential worldview. One of the clearest expressions of this newfound arrogance can be seen in an essay by the US Democratic politician, Stacey Abrams. Abrams, an African-American woman, was chosen by Democratic leaders to respond to Donald Trumps's State of the Union speech. And she seized the opportunity to extol the ethos of identity.
Strikingly, in her follow-up essay, she also took a swipe at those people who are still wedded to the politics of class. In her piece in Foreign Affairs, Abrams criticised those who 'focus solely on class' and who apparently ignore the needs of different identity groups. She boasted that, in her campaigns, she 'intentionally and vigorously highlighted communities of colour and other marginalised groups'. Her explicit, in-your-face advocacy of identity politics is not just her individual view — rather, it resonates with a wider cultural current that now views appeals to identity as morally superior to appeals to humanity. This is why more and more people, when they make a public statement, draw attention to their identity. Just think of the number of times you hear people declare 'As a gay man', or 'As a woman', or 'As a man of colour'. The studied manner in which they proclaim their identity suggests they think their identity is more important than the content of their statement itself.

The Rider Route – helping the most promising riders become the stars of world and Olympic cycling.
Click the below image to view a full-size rider route.
Here we identify and develop bike riders aged 13 to 15 to create a pool of athletes that are ready for the academy. This is about constructing the 'building blocks' that will be required for the route to becoming a member of the Great Britain Cycling Team (GBCT).
This is where we begin to invest more heavily in developing those riders that are showing the most promise. The GBCT supports around 100 apprentices nationally at this level, and those awarded this status should be aiming to graduate onto the Academy.
From 15 to 21 we focus on intensively developing the country's best young riders. Refining on what has already been learnt, the aim is to support the transition to becoming a senior bike rider, and ready to graduate to the Podium Programme.
The Junior Academy is focused on developing the country's best junior riders, ensuring that they are ready for life as full-time athletes. This will include opportunities to race at international competitions in preparation for riding in major events at a senior level.
The Senior Academy is the ultimate 'finishing school'. The aim is simple: to fine-tune athletes and ensure they are ready to dominate the top-step of world and Olympic race podiums in the future.
The pinnacle of the performance pathway, the Olympic Podium Programme is dedicated to supporting highly-skilled elite cyclists as they aim to win medals in major competitions, such as world championships and Olympic Games.

It's finally here! Our 2016 doggie and kitty fundraiser to benefit Kitty Wits and Precious Den's; our two favorite caretaker gals helping animals to be happy and healthy throughout their lives, no matter how short those lives may be.
We get together once a year to throw a fundraiser for the animals and ask for your help. Either shopping or donating items to buy, you can join the fun by being a part of this life-changing experience. This year we are saving money for the animals by teaming up with SacValleyAuction in Woodland and they will be selling ALL items online so you can sit in your birthday suit at home and buy buy buy anything you want day or night. No big long drive, no unexpected long line when you arrive, just shop at your leisure and get exactly what you want. This may be just the ticket for some of you less hardy folks who don't like to wait outside a house sale overnight to get that special something for a friend or family member. Now you don't have to sign up and wait in the cold. Just relax by your fireplace at home with your laptop and shop to your heart's content. We will have lots of updated photos by Monday evening. Thanks for the interest in our fundraisers.

Not Exactly Fundraising Event…But A Lovely Christmas Concert Instead
Saturday December 27th 6pm-9pm
Our Dear Natalie Joy In Concert Singing and Playing Piano
Hello all! I just want to thank everyone who attended the concert for your presence and your incredibly generous donations. You are all such an immense blessing to me and I am so grateful for you in my life! I had such a delightful evening with you and I am excited to use your gifts to work on more music in the future! Looking forward to many concerts and dinners to come,
Natalie Joy
This past Christmas Season Jennie Krausse, the patrons and the staff of Estate Sales Help made the Fund Raiser for Precious Den's the most successful to date. We broke into the five digit numbers…Yes, Precious Den's received over $ 10,000.00.
I need to go far beyond a thank you note…I need to illustrate how deeply you have impacted our well being and future for the year 2014 with your generosity.
Precious Den's is no ordinary rescue. There are reasons why this small rescue has been given a heart beat, new life, and sustenance…that is because God put his angel to work. We call her Jennie. I do not doubt for a moment that he knew to send her our way.
Jennie knew we were the real deal. She sent us in directions I never dreamed possible. For example, we never would have imagined we could welcome a horse into our rescue without proper space, shelter and care…You know what I learned? Never say Never.
Horses are a huge responsibility and we are seeing so many being turned into shelters due to the cost of feed and upkeep.
However, not after one but three fundraisers we were able to welcome in Precious Den's, a ribbed showing, senior boy we named Gideon's Starr:
Precious Den's Has built an entire area for Gideon. Facebook supporters named him. He is in part named from the Old Testament, Book of Judges, Gideon the Warrior, and the name Starr from the guiding star that brought the three kings (Gaspar, Melchior, and Balthasar.) of the Magi to Bethlehem.
Our growth didn't stop there…We now have built an exercise area for our beloved new spirit-building therapy doggies, Cowboy the Seventh and Francoise the Fourth…
During the time period of the Fundraiser, a young beagle mix, became orphaned after his homeless human companion succumbed to the cold winter weather. We named this little orphan, Belvedere. He often plays with these two Great Pyrenees. It is a joy to know Belvedere will no longer have to dodge traffic in search for his master. He has a home with these two big fellows. (Please know some of the best pet owners are homeless…so when you see a homeless person with a critter, toss 'em a bone, a buck, or a big smile.)
This relationship we have formed even goes beyond the staff and patrons who visited Kobasic during the Fundraiser of December 2013, it extended to the folks who live in the area.
I would like to share a precious encounter between the infectious curiosity of the neighbors who live in the Riverside area near Kobasics. It was mid-afternoon when the children were walking home from school. Much to their surprise when they saw two goats walking on leash. To say these children were taken aback is a slight under statement. Some children had never met a goat, touched a horn, or walked a hooved creature. For that matter, the goats had never met a child, a teen, or a young adult…I must say both were amused and pleased.
Again, Precious Den's is no ordinary rescue…every dime goes into these animals…any administrative fee …comes directly from me…we are 100%, non-paid, non-compensated for anything…and that's not easy to say in today's world. But, it is the right thing to do and we wouldn't have it any other way.
This growth is huge for such a tiny rescue…but had it not been for one person, for the vision of one person who had faith in us and put her hard work and labor into such a successful fundraiser I do not believe our shelter would have had such possibilities that is why I fall short when I say a thank you JENNIE KRAUSSE is not enough…believe me when I say this, we thank this woman everyday knowing these animals have shelters, are safe, have room and can live a carefree existence without the fear of destruction.
There is an old saying: while on earth, your home may be bigger than mine, your chariot may be fancier than mine ~ but we all are laid to rest in the same sized burial plot…what we do on earth is what matters.
We would not be what we are today had it not been for your vision, labor and faith in us. God Love You, Jennie and Crew, and all your Patron's Too!!!!
Mitch Prefach
Update to our 2012 Fundraiser
A Thank You Letter From Mitch Prefach
checks or donations may be mailed to Mitch at P.O. Box 514, Herald, Ca. 95638.
Miss Jennie and Crew:
The year's fundraiser was so special: the time of the year, your patrons, the animal supporters, and all of the volunteers and donors. I was amazed at this three day event. The turn out irrespective of the rain was "Gi-Normous."
This year was also memorable because of an unexpected opportunity which was afforded to me. You see, I was set up in the northwest corner of the building with some of my critter companions. Your patrons would stop by my corner nook to pet the doggies and exchanged so many animal stories. Funny stories, endearing rescue stories, cute behavioral idiosyncrasies, and also more serious stories regarding the passing of their furry loved ones. I could listen to these stories for days on end and would be utterly amused. It was a panoramic view of just how much in common animal-lovers have with respect to one's own history of their pets. A very rich experience to hear all about these four legged friends.
The wish list items were all put to use. I loved the new bedding as well as the gently used bedding. My senior dogs are especially so warm and snug during this chilly season. The kibble and dog bones were a plus. Also, greatly appreciated were the many cans of cat food. That was a huge treat for the kitties, I assure you. I am personally grateful for the cleaning supplies. They are always in need and used every single day.
I just had this feeling that this year's fundraiser was going to be so special. It all began when you, Pam, and Elodie (Jennie's mom) came to Precious Den's and saw the fruits of what last year's fundraiser had done for these quirky gentle creatures. This included: the fencing and gate. These much needed items provided so much freedom for the dogs. They now run freely "on this doggie park in process". I can now exhale knowing that there is no fear of cars or predators to harm them.
Your ability to make me feel at ease by being able to socialize with the critters made all of our day. The animals trusted you and so did I. In turn, your video really captured a grass roots institution in it's infancy but with a little insight into better days to come. We will soon see that day. Thanks to you, Jennie, crew and friends, our dream will grow larger than life. Miss Jennie, you are always welcomed to the Den.
In the passing of my father, my biggest supporter of this sanctuary, I knew he was giving you a high five from heaven.
Something your volunteers, family, crew, and patrons do not know is where the name "Precious Den's" came from. Well, the sanctuary is named after my late mom, Den. She and my father were the biggest animal lovers. Their love for all animals is what brought them together. My mother a country girl from Bangor, Maine meets the handsome hardworking Hungarian from New Jersey. Two very different personalities but with the mutual love of animals. They always instilled the value of commitment and that meant to animals, "animals are a lifetime commitment never to be shelved or used as a commodity."
In the world of animal rescue, I see such a disposable society. I am relieved that my parents do not have to be exposed to such careless disregard. For the rest of us, it is something we try to combat on a daily basis.
I must admit that it is such a great help when people like you reach out to a sanctuary like mine. I must take a passage from Street Car Named Desire. It is the act of "the kindness of strangers". The Kindness you extended makes the animal rescue world revolve so much easier. Without your help, I would not have been able to provide these animals with all the needed structures and fencing that makes this piece of property their home.
Rest assured. This is a 100% charity that puts 100% of all donations back into the critters. Not a dime goes into administrative costs. The funds from this fundraiser will be as carefully spent as they were last year. I feel I owe it to you to know that I will always be aware of what the needs of the animals are and that those needs are paramount. No exceptions.
Our hearts here at Precious Den's are filled with gratitude. Thank you just doesn't seem to be enough. We are most humble and grateful to all your time and effort and the support of the patrons who graced us during the best time of the year.
God Love You All,
Miss Mitch Prefach
Precious Den's Animal Shelter, Inc.
Let me give you all an update on our fundraiser to benefit "Precious Dens Animal Shelter" in Herald California and Mitch Prefach's efforts at caring for elderly, handicapped and unwanted dogs and cats in general, until the day they die.
We are delighted to report that we were able to gift Mitch and her many fine critters just over $8,000 last evening, realized from all of your efforts. Whether you came to drop off baked goods, household items, pet food or supplies, or simply came by to give cash or purchase a treasure or two, it is your all of your endeavors we are in gratitude for and give credit to for making this another fundraiser success.
Without all the fine folks who came by to lend a hand one way or another we would not have been able to give Mitch anything. In addition to your help I want to thank: Kobasics Candy for the rental location, Steve, Blanca, Kris, Chuck, Shirley, Marie, Yani, Pam, Janet, Diane, Julie, Tigi, Sue Marie, Kami and sons, and all of the other fine folks who volunteered long and hard to make this effort come to fruition.

On Giving
Then said a rich man, "Speak to us of Giving."
And he answered:
You give but little when you give of your possessions.
It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.
For what are your possessions but things you keep and guard for fear you may need them tomorrow?
And tomorrow, what shall tomorrow bring to the overprudent dog burying bones in the trackless sand as he follows the pilgrims to the holy city?
And what is fear of need but need itself?
Is not dread of thirst when your well is full, thirst that is unquenchable?
There are those who give little of the much which they have – and they give it for recognition and their hidden desire makes their gifts unwholesome.
And there are those who have little and give it all.
These are the believers in life and the bounty of life, and their coffer is never empty.
There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward.
And there are those who give with pain, and that pain is their baptism.
And there are those who give and know not pain in giving, nor do they seek joy, nor give with mindfulness of virtue;
They give as in yonder valley the myrtle breathes its fragrance into space.
Though the hands of such as these God speaks, and from behind their eyes He smiles upon the earth.
It is well to give when asked, but it is better to give unasked, through understanding;
And to the open-handed the search for one who shall receive is joy greater than giving
And is there aught you would withhold?
All you have shall some day be given;
Therefore give now, that the season of giving may be yours and not your inheritors'.
You often say, "I would give, but only to the deserving."
The trees in your orchard say not so, nor the flocks in your pasture.
They give that they may live, for to withhold is to perish.
Surely he who is worthy to receive his days and his nights is worthy of all else from you.
And he who has deserved to drink from the ocean of life deserves to fill his cup from your little stream.
And what desert greater shall there be than that which lies in the courage and the confidence, nay the charity, of receiving?
And who are you that men should rend their bosom and unveil their pride, that you may see their worth naked and their pride unabashed?
See first that you yourself deserve to be a giver, and an instrument of giving.
For in truth it is life that gives unto life – while you, who deem yourself a giver, are but a witness.
And you receivers – and you are all receivers – assume no weight of gratitude, lest you lay a yoke upon yourself and upon him who gives.
Rather rise together with the giver on his gifts as on wings;
For to be overmindful of your debt, is to doubt his generosity who has the free-hearted earth for mother, and God for father.
Kahlil Gibran
"Precious Dens Animal Hospice"

Carry on. Keep your wits about you. It could be worse. One day at a time. Stay optimistic.
Trite and banal? Yes. But this type of self-talk is what works for me right now. Doing whatever it takes to stay functional in my little world is what I need to do. Health problems. Money problems. Car problems. Family problems. Lord knows we all have them. And my little collection of the aforementioned stuff seems to be ramping up just beyond my usual level of tolerance.
I haven't been blogging regularly. My intention is to get back on track and write more often. Some things (like writing) I don't miss until I stop doing or seeing or experiencing them and then out of nowhere, I realize, "…Hey, what the hell happened to LupusRanting? Did she vanish? Win the lottery? Wind up on a milk carton? WTF? …"
For those of you who stop by regularly, thanks for stopping by regularly.
Me and my bad attitude aren't going anywhere. For now. Whatever it takes to carry on.

There are several rumors regarding Oyo state government's actions on the Ibadan chieftaincy titles. Here's the truth
On Friday August 26, a major milestone was reached in the history of Ibadan. Even though it happened on Friday evening, it was quite significant and fundamentally pivotal to the Olubadan of Ibadan kingdom. On that day, the government of Oyo state issued letters of conferment of Obaship on 21 chiefs in Ibadan, just as it announced that their coronation will hold on Sunday, August 27, 2017 at Mapo Hall, Ibadan.
According to a statement issued by the state government, it said its decision was in line with the provisions of the recently amended 1959 Declaration of Olubadan and other related chieftaincies in Ibadanland as well as the government White Paper as conveyed in Government Gazette No 14, Notice 27 Vol. 42 of 23rd August 2017 and Gazette No. 15 Notice 28 Vol. 42 of August 24, 2017 respectively.
Is this action legal?
Apparently yes. The government stated that the governor of the State, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, exercised his powers as conferred on him by section 28(i) Cap. Vol 1 of the Chiefs Law of Oyo State of Nigeria 2000 and the amended 1959 declaration.
The Secretary to the State Government, Mr. Olalekan Alli, who presented the letters at the House of Chiefs, explained that Eight High Chiefs were given letters elevating them to Obaship and changing their titles to "His Royal Majesty" while 13 Baales were elevated to "His Royal Highness", noting that 9 vacant Baale stools were not conferred but their positions are now recognized as Obas.
Ibadan, meet your new Royal Majesties
According to the Secretary to the State Government, High Chief Senator Lekan Balogun, Otun Olubadan of Ibadanland; High Chief Eddy Oyewole, Ashipa olubadan of Ibadanland; High Chief Akinloye Owolabi Olakuleyin, the Balogun of Ibadanland; High Chief Tajudeen A. Ajibola, Osi Balogun of Ibadaland; High Chief Latifu Gbadamosi Adebimpe, Asipa Balogun of Ibadanland; High Chief Dr Kolawole Adegbola, Ekarun Blaogun of Ibadanland; High Chief Abiodun Kola-Daisi, Ekerin Olubadan of Ibadanland and High Chief S. Amidu Ajibade, Ekarun Olubadan of Ibadanland will now be addressed as Royal Majesties while the Olubadan of Ibadanland,
What happens to the Olubadan throne?
The government apparently shied away from making significant changes to the Olubadan of Ibadan title. According to Alli, Oba Saliu Adetunji remains the Imperial Majesty. He affirmed that there is no disruption or amendment to the traditional Olubadan Chieftaincy ascendancy system or structure.
What of High Chief Ladoja?
The most vocal opposition to the action of the government was from High Chief Rashidi Ladoja whose name was conspicuously absent from the list of the new Royal Majesties. There is no official explanation from the state government on why this is so. Probably due to his opposition to the plan of the government. Since this is a fact-based piece, I can't authoritatively state why Ladoja's name was not on the list but what I can say is that it does not affect his position on the Olubadan Chieftaincy ascendancy system or structure, according to Alli. So, he may not like what the government has done, it however doesn't stop him from becoming Olubadan of Ibadan.
New Royal Highnesses
Alli also announced the conferment of the Royal Highness status on the following: Chief Lasisi Akano, Onijaye of Ijaye; Chief Ismaila Olasunkanmi, Oniroko of Iroko, Chief Moses Olasunkanmi, Onikereku of Ikereku; Chiief Mudasiru Omodele Adebayo, Baale Olodo; Chief Victor Sunday Okunola, Elegbeda of Egbeda; Alhaji Wahab Olabamiji Okedina, Baale Okelade-Okin; Chief Olabamiji Ahmed Thomas, Alakufo of Akufo; Chief Gbolagade Muritala Babalola, Onido of Ido; Chief Dauda Omotoso, Baale Awotan; Chief Tiamiyu Labiyi Ladipo, Baale of Abanla and Chief James Oladipo Obisesan, Baale Akanran.
Oba Lekan Balogun is happy
Speaking on behalf of the new Obas, His Royal Majesty, Oba Lekan Balogun, the Otun Olubadan of Ibadanland, according to a statement made available to IBPulse thanked the Oyo State Government and the governor of the State, Senator Abiola Ajimobi for answering the call of the people to review the Olubadan chieftaincy declaration of 1959, stressing that the new development is ordained by God.
Olubadan is not happy
Prior to Friday's event, the Olubadan of Ibadan, raised objection to the review of 1957 Olubadan chieftaincy declaration saying he will never support the move.
Olubadan said the review being was nothing but a "joke carried too far". Speaking through his Director of Media, Mr Adeola Oloko, Olubadan expressed his displeasure at the comments by the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters, Mr. Bimbo Kolade, on a private radio station. The Oba said his opposition to the chieftaincy review embarked upon by the State Government stands.
The king said the erroneous impression in that interview was that Kabiyesi had at one time opposed the chieftaincy review then changed his mind to support it. This, he said, was far from the truth.
Olubadan said; "For the avoidance of doubt, there was never a time that Olubadan supported the review. This was why the first class monarch did not submit any memorandum nor make any presentation to the panel.
"When last week the panel submitted its report to the State Governor, the public would vividly remember that Olubadan was not in the picture at all, because he was not invited. Both the young and old in Ibadan know that the Ibadan chieftaincy system is not a creation of the government. It is a creation of Ibadan people. No king, no governor, no elite, no High Chief has the right to tamper with the system without recourse to our people. How many town hall meetings has the state government convened before arriving at the conclusion that Ibadan deserves 32 crowns?"
"To show ignorance of our tradition, the panel lumped our highly respected High Chiefs with baales who are always nominated by the family Mogajis. Secondly, if the traditional institution wants a review, it is not the duty of government to spearhead such. It is the duty of the Olubadan-in- Council to sit down and look at what they want to recommend and register same to the State Government for approval."
But the concern of the Olubadan is evidently not big enough to stop the coronation of the new Obas scheduled to take place on Sunday, August 27, 2017 at Mapo Hall, Ibadan.

Upper Bann MP David Simpson has sent a Christmas message to the district:
"For many of us, Christmas is a time to re-unite with family and friends and remind ourselves of the year that has gone before us.
"This year has brought changes for many households as well as many changes within the political scene. Some of us have lost loved ones whilst many will have welcomed new additions to our household. In September we lost a friend of Ulster and servant of the Lord, Dr Ian Paisley. We are entirely indebted to his service to public life and our thoughts and prayers are with his family this Christmas.
"Locally, I was delighted that our party returned 13 members to the new ABC Super-Council with many new faces taking to the platform.
"Looking ahead to 2015, I have no doubt that our households will face many trials and difficulties but I trust and pray that we will face these difficulties with the determination to make this year peaceful and prosperous for us all.
"Can I take this opportunity to thank you all for the support. As we once again celebrate the birth of our Lord and Saviour, can I wish you and your families a Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year."

I just got my first shot of morning caffeine and I'm ready to roll out some more juicy traffic tidbits :)
Today I'd like to share with you 3 unusual ways to get MORE traffic with Fiverr.
As many of you know, Fiverr is that cool little site where you can get stuff outsourced for just five bucks.
But it can also be a traffic powerhouse when used properly…
1. Convert your articles to Powerpoint and PDF.
A couple days ago I showed you how you can get thousands of visitors by converting your articles into Powerpoint presentations and submitting those to SlideShare.net.
Well, now you can automate that process using Fiverr.
For just $5, John will transform your article to powerpoint slideshow and a PDF. He then submits those to the top 5 slide sharing websites and the top 5 document sharing websites.
For just $5, you're going to save a TON of time and get some very high-quality traffic and backlinks.
Just be sure to use the super cool strategy we discussed the other day to drive even more traffic to your SlideShare presentation.
2. Transcribe Your Videos for Additional Traffic.
If you've created any videos, you can transcribe and repurpose those videos for a TON of extra traffic.
Simply transcribe the video (or audio) and then chop the content into articles.
You can then submit those articles to article directories or as guest posts. Post them as Facebook Notes. Share them in your favorite forums. Post to your blog. Submit to BloggersBase.com and BlogEngage.com.
Convert them to PDF and submit them to sites like Free-Ebooks.net, GetFreeEbooks.com, Scribd, and DocStoc.com.
You can get 10x more traffic simply by re-purposing your content.
3. How to Use Fiverr to Get Massive Blog Traffic.
Here's another cool strategy for you…
I'm sure most of you have seen those top list posts around the web with titles like:
Top 30 Young Bloggers Under 21
17 Traffic Building Tips from Some of the World's Most Popular Bloggers
12 Undercover Blogs You Should Read in 2011
7 Under-the-Radar Business Blogs I Read Every Day
A top list is basically a blog post that lists the top 10 – 25 bloggers in your market. Plus, they can be created in ANY market.
These are naturally viral in nature because other bloggers love to share posts where they've been put in the spotlight.
Because you're honoring some of the most influential bloggers in your market, it's in their best interest to spread the word about your post. Whether that be tweeting it, stumbling it, posting it on Facebook, or sharing it on their own blog.
However, I want to take things one step further…
In addition to featuring some of the best bloggers in your niche, let's also add a caricature beside each one.
You can get these created for just $5 at Fiverr.com.
So, for example, if I was creating a Top List about some of the top affiliate
marketers, then I would go and find quotes by each person about tips on how to
be a successful affiliate. And I would include that in the post by their caricature.
This adds extra value (and an entertainment factor) for your readers. Plus, when
those people see the caricatures you've created of them – they'll be pleasantly
surprised and more likely to share your new blog post on Twitter, Facebook, etc…
Once your post is published I would also recommend sending a short email to
each person, letting them know about the post and letting them know they
can use the caricature however they like in their business.
Not only will these top lists increase your traffic, but you're
also building long term friendships, aligning yourself with
people of influence, and creating a ton of value for your
Quick Note: You can also use this same strategy to create unique JV Invitation

I'll be willing to give on this, however, I assert that a decision isn't a decision unless it's published. It doesn't help when the people who made the decision can't seem to remember what it was. Supposedly, the decision was that DOM attributes are accessed as ordinary Python attributes, as in:: foo.nodeName yet several people seemed to think that attributes are obtained via accessor functions: foo._get_nodeName() You argued that this was appropriate based on IDL conformance. Why make this argument if the decision was to use attribute access? Or was it? What was the decision anyway? :) > The lack of a DOM mapping document is more because everyone is > ultra-busy than because the matter hasn't been considered. If the decision is important, someone should find the time to publish it. Presumably people found time to write code. Jim -- Jim Fulton mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com Python Powered!

The Curiosity Rover has 17 cameras?! I didn't know that.
There's something really badass about seeing this image of Curiosity Rover's wheels on Mars. Look at the full-res image. So damn clear.
This is what it's like to drive a lunar rover on the moon. This is actual video taken during the Apollo 16 mission with astronauts John Young and Charlie Duke.
Stuart Atkinson took 55 photos of Curiosity on Mars and stitched them together to create this hi-res self-portrait of the Mars Rover on the red planet. [via]
Curiosity Killed The Cat from Trunk Animation on Vimeo. Heh, a slightly dark take on Curiosity Rover's name and the common phrase uttered with the same word.

For over four decades, the Indianapolis Early Music Festival has been presenting world-class concerts in one of America's largest cities. A veritable institution, the festival's programs have sought to offer both standard and obscure works from the Middle Ages through the baroque. The festival's current Artistic Director is Mark Cudek.
Ex Umbris
The 2009 festival was no different in regards to its tradition of innovative programming. The ensemble Ex Umbris gave a program entitled "Melancholy: Downe in the Dumpes in Elizabethan England," which included substantial choreography, instrumental playing, and dynamic singing by soprano Nell Snaidas.
Unrequited love was a recurring theme in ensemble Reconstruction's program entitled "Bedlam, Back, and Beyond." Comprised of three sopranos, a cellist, and harpsichordist, Reconstruction's performance included pieces for the entire ensemble as well solos for each soprano by Italian and English composers from the 17th Century.
Harmonious Blacksmith
The young Baltimore-based ensemble Harmonious Blacksmith gave a rousing concert of late-Baroque orchestral concertos, which included composers Telemann, J.S. Bach, and Vivaldi. The ensemble's harpsichordist and co-director Joseph Gascho was one of the soloists in a performance of Bach's concerto for harpsichord, two recorders, strings and continuo. The work is, in fact, an arrangement by Bach himself of the 4th Brandenburg concerto.
The Peabody Consort
The Peabody Consort, led by festival director Mark Cudek, rounded out the festival with a program devoted to music and scenes from William Shakespeare's plays. Entitled "If Musick be the Food of Love," the program also featured two actors—Robert Neal and Milicent Wright—from the Indiana Repertory Theater.
New Release
Our new release of the week features the baroque chamber orchestra Ensemble 415 under the direction of Chiara Banchini. Their latest recording on the Zig-Zag Territories label brings us Tomaso Albinoni's complete Sinfonias in five parts, op. 2.
Albinoni, a contemporary of Corelli and Vivaldi, was a successful composer whose music was in demand throughout Europe, especially among amateur musicians—although, he did have a number of sophisticated admirers such as Johann Sebastian Bach.

And this morning we went to a local nursery because they were having a sale on summer annuals (buy 20 for 50 cents apiece). We never got to plant our pots and such this year because of Muffy being ill at the good time for that, and I wasn't going to pay full price for flowers mid season, so this seems like a good solution. Plus, I'm hosting bunco at the end of the month and feeling a little embarrassed by all the empty pots around the house.
Anyhow, we bought 24 plants, and can you believe all this color for $12 and a tiny bit of work?
We also cleaned off the deck and hung the curtains I made last year. They are tab tops (sorry, I didn't get the tops in the picture) and the panels made from queen sheets (that really cut down on the work). There are four panels so that when we untie them all, it's very private on our deck and we block the neighbors from view. Last year me and Muffy like to sit out there on the weekends with the sheets blowing in the breeze. I would read a book and she would sleep in the chair next to me. Those were good times.
After planting, I cut up tomatoes from DH's garden and some fresh basil from our back yard to make a tomato salad. Then I sliced strawberries to make short cake. We are going to my friend's grandparent's 60th wedding anniversary surprise potluck. My friend moved to Texas the other year, so it will be cool to see her again... but I'm sure we'll be tired tomorrow because we won't get back until late.
And that's not everything today, but it's enough for one post and to make me feel like I've actually accomplished something today.
