Mary Berry's Queen of Puddings recipe
Think you've got what it takes to thrive in the Great British Bake Off kitchen? Try your hand at this week's technical challenge...
An old favourite revisited with a new twist – home-made soft fruit jam. If you prefer, you can use a good raspberry jam. There are three key elements to get right here: custard, jam and meringue. To get top marks, the three must remain separate.
Serves 6
600ml/1 pint full-fat milk
25g/1oz unsalted butter
finely grated zest of 1 lemon
225g/8oz caster sugar
3 large free-range eggs, at room temperature, separated
75g/2½ oz fresh white breadcrumbs
For the jam
200g/7oz mixed summer fruits (raspberries, blueberries, blackcurrants and redcurrants) OR 500g/1lb 2oz frozen mixed berries
200g/7oz caster sugar, or to taste
1 x 1.4l capacity shallow ovenproof dish, buttered; roasting tin; piping bag fitted with a plain or star tube (or disposable piping bag with the tip snipped off)
1. To make the custard base, very gently warm the milk in a small pan. Add the butter, lemon zest and 50g/2oz of the sugar; stir until the butter has melted and the sugar dissolved. Lightly whisk the egg yolks in a large heatproof mixing bowl, then gradually whisk in the warm milk mixture.
2. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the base of the buttered dish. Pour over the custard. Leave to stand for about 15 minutes so the breadcrumbs can absorb the liquid. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 160 C/325 F/gas 3.
3. Carefully set the dish in the roasting tin and pour enough hot water into the tin to come halfway up the side of the dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the custard base is firm and set. Remove from the oven and lift the dish from the roasting tin. Leave to cool for 15 minutes. Leave the oven on, but reduce the temperature to 150 C/300 F/gas 2.
4. While the custard base is cooling, make the jam. Put the mixed fruits into a pan and warm over low heat until they have softened and released their juices. Add the sugar and continue to cook gently, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes until you have a jam-like consistency. (If using frozen berries, they will release more liquid, so will take longer to cook to a jam-like consistency.)
5. Put the egg whites into a large bowl and whisk with a hand-held electric mixer on full speed until stiff. Whisk in the remaining sugar a teaspoon at a time, still on full speed, to make a very stiff and glossy meringue. Spoon the meringue into the piping bag fitted with the plain or star tube.
6. Spread 4-5 tablespoons of the fruit jam over the custard base, then pipe the meringue on top to cover the jam completely. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the meringue is pale golden and crisp. Serve immediately, with a jug of pouring cream.
Watch the contestants practise their puddings tonight on The Great British Bake Off at 8.00pm on BBC2.

ASDA FM is a beast with two heads! If I get into the store before lunch, or around breakfast, the DJ plays music I can recognise, sing along with and it generally adds to the pleasure of being in a supermarket.
After lunch, however, the DJ plays music that drives me out of the store post haste! Today, in particular, I found my self getting angry at his choice of (to me at least) unknown dance and disco tracks. As a retired DJ of 20 years myself I am all too familiar with those who think we should all appreciate their own taste in music and force it down one's throat.
Sadly, it tends to be the afternoon when I spend most of my time in the place and today I felt like screaming something unrepeatable at the speakers.
The contrast between morning and afternoon is so astonishingly great that, on the one hand, I enjoy being there in the morning and totally hate being there in the afternoon. It isn't a DISCO!!!

House lawmakers today will get four minutes to debate a resolution aimed at addressing problems related to the failure of two Republican members to be sworn into office earlier this week.
The resolution is expected to be taken up later today, after members consider a rule setting up the terms for considering two healthcare repeal measures. The measure will address the problems caused by Reps. Pete Sessions (R-Texas) and Mike Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.), who missed being sworn into office on Wednesday, embarrassing the GOP and providing fodder for Democrats.
According to a resolution released by the House Rules Committee this morning, the measure would invalidate the votes taken by the two members before they were sworn in. But otherwise, it would essentially treat Sessions and Fitzpatrick as if they were sworn in on Jan. 5 with other members. It would ratify Sessions's participation in the House Rules Committee proceedings yesterday, consider bills introduced by Sessions as introduced, treat submissions by either member to the Congressional Record as valid and validate their co-sponsorship of any legislation.
The healthcare repeal measure, H.Res. 26, is being voted on now, and includes language that allows the House to consider a measure aimed at addressing the problems related to the swearing-in. Section 3 of the healthcare rule says it shall be in order to consider a resolution "relating to the status of certain actions taken by members-elect." It also says any measure dealing within this issue will be subject to four minutes of debate, equally divided between the majority and minority leaders.
House Rules Committee Chairman David Dreier (R-Calif.) said yesterday that while both members took the oath of office, they were not in the presence of the House Speaker when other members were sworn in, and instead were in the Visitor Center, where they were watching the proceedings. House rules hold that members must be in the chamber, barring exceptional circumstances, in order to be considered sworn-in.

I started writing my thoughts down and sharing them with you all last April. I can honestly say that I did not really know whether anyone would enjoy reading my stories, but I knew that I was writing from my heart. I have been astounded by the feedback from my readers. Over the course of the last 9 months, I have received comments and messages from people all over the world, some whom I know, and many whom I have never met. All of these responses have been so heartwarming and awesomely supportive. I am humbled that so many have taken the time to let me know that they enjoy my work. It inspires me to continue writing and sharing my recipes and my stories with you. Thank you so very much for your feedback as it validates the time spent on my work, both in my kitchen and on my computer writing.
In addition to my blogposts on Guyanese Girl Haitian Soul, I also regularly post pictures of my baking and cooking on Instagram and Facebook for my followers to see what's going on in my home kitchen. I have received many comments and messages as well as many requests asking to taste my food or whether my baked goods can be purchased. Once upon a time many years ago, I would have loved to have a restaurant; but that was a different time in my life. I can honestly say that I have no intention of opening a restaurant but I have been thinking of ways to connect and satisfy this demand.
Last Friday I hosted my first event, a "Guyanese Girl Haitian Soul Dinner Experience". I invited a few great friends who are foodies, artists and creatives to join me and my family for an evening of good food and new flavors. I wanted to introduce my Haitian friends to my cooking and to experience some hospitality "à ma façon." It was an incredible group of people who accepted my invitation to dinner. I was able to share my spice blends, as well as my perspective, as someone who has integrated into the fabric of Haiti over the last 28 years. I am a proud Guyanese Girl and I have a love and admiration for my adopted country Haïti. It is here that I made my home and family and where I developed my own unique style.
Tables set up for GGHS dinner
I first offered my guests a homemade libation as a welcome cocktail. It was made with Haiti's famous Barbancourt rhum, homemade pink guava nectar, freshly grated ginger for a kick and muddled limes. These drinks were served with delicious Haitian accra and fried breadfruit slices along with a spicy pickleez slaw. My menu was a one which was chosen to include some of my favorites. My plated appetizers were Chinese style shrimp and pork wontons with my house made tangy pepper jelly sauce and a chicken curry puff paired with a bright Indian spiced tomato chutney.
Chicken curry puff with fried shrimp and pork wontons
They were both well received and we were on our way to a tasting of flavors which embody me. I love to use warm Indian spices like cumin, garam masala, fenugreek, mustard seeds and cardamom. I chose a beautiful fish called a Dorade which has a meaty flesh and a tender texture to highlight these tastes. It was served pan fried along with a shrimp curry atop. A potato and chickpea masala was the accompaniment along with spinach and a soft roti to sop up the flavorful sauce.
Shrimp curry over a fish fillet with spinach and jasmine rice
Chinese flavors such as ginger, garlic, soy, scallions are ones which I consider staples in my cooking. I also love to fuse the flavors of the Caribbean islands by blending coconut milk and hot peppers. I made a caramel ginger chicken which is the perfect fusion of these two types of flavors. There is an incredibly delicious aroma which fills the air when this dish is being cooked. It has everyone making their way to the kitchen to see what's in the making. The rich caramel colors the chicken and gives it a deep honey brown tint. The flavor of the ginger and garlic permeate the dish and add a sweetness and richness to the chicken which is outstanding. When the coconut milk is introduced, the color turns creamy brown and as it cooks down, it thickens and ends up in a glorious rich amber uber tasty sauce. It is a homey dish but is delightful in its simplicity. I make it often and we love it in my family, and is not known here in Haïti.

I set up tables in my front yard and used different chairs for my seating arrangement. As the reception was at home, I just used what ever I had available. There was no need to have everything matching, in fact, by using different colored napkins and placemats, I was able to create an interesting eclectic vibe. There were little details, such as various small cloisonné Chinese ornaments and Indian carved animals and forms, as well as Guyanese pottery pieces with Amerindian petroglyph depictions adorning each table. The centerpiece was representative of Guyanese and Haitian cultures and my mixed heritage. For freshness and color, I mixed sprigs of bougainvillea with potted herbs like thyme and rosemary for their aroma, as well as orchids from my garden into the tablescape. This time of the year is perfect for entertaining outdoors, the nights are cool and the skies were clear above us. Candles and torches were lit all around and gave a lovely ambiance to the evening. The conversation was lively and stimulating as the group mingled easily and cohesively together. It was such a pleasure to host a group of artists and creative minds… it all made for a perfect evening.
Garden setting for Guyanese Girl Haitian Soul Dinner Experience
No dinner is complete without a dessert course and in fact, even though many said that they were full, they managed to find some space for dessert. I prepared a selection of small portions so that my guests could choose to taste one or several desserts. In verrine glasses, There was a strawberry cream trifle which is one of my favorites. The sublime fresh compote added a special layer of delight with strawberries from the mountains of Belot. The trifle consisted of small layers of vanilla cake rounds, sherry, crème patissière and whipped cream. My guests absolutely loved this delightful cold dessert.

In addition there was a selection of mini pecan pies, fresh chocolate chip cookies and crunchy Indian Kurma with flecks of coconut, cardamom and aniseed. A sweet ending to my first GGHS dinner experience.

I look forward to hosting more of these types of events in the year. I will keep you all posted so that if you are interested in attending, you can sign up for details. The venue and menu will vary, but will always keep a few common features. I like the concept of small groups and pop up style dinners, perhaps even a themed event. It was such a pleasure to host a group of artists and creative minds… for me, it was a perfect evening and a most memorable one to inaugurate a new concept.

I met Sylvia's dear friend Marcella today. They have been friends for some time and work well together in the shopping department. Did you know you can either shop with someone or you can't? It's either fun or it isn't? You either like the same types of things or you don't? We all find our 'shopping partners' in life. These two woman are meant for each other! Today, though, it was Sylvias' day ... we just went along to browse. Of course, my little eyes are darting everywhere, mind is on fast forward and creative ideas are flowing. The next trip to Comonfort when I return, I will be looking for pots for my little place. How exciting.
It seems to me, price is the key here. At home, some of these huge pots would be $125.00 or more. Here, in this small town, under $25.00. For that price they will deliver to SMA. Sylvia's are arriving tonight and they are hauling them up to her roof garden. Service! Photos of our wonderful day follow. Women on a mission.
There were colourful roof gardens with the laundry hung out.
A stone house, spiral stair case, and everything imaginable hanging from the walls.
Our first stop. They are focused!
We've been a few places and seen pots we like. This is our second visit to this shop. The pace quickens!
Nice fountains for my little yard.
Fireplaces, pillars, windows, Our Lady of Guadalaupe, angels, house numbers, finials ... hmmm ...
Another pot place. Sylvia's negotiating hard. (Blue dot in the back)
No, this place is definitely better. Sylvia is serious now! I browse.
You know how I love Fleurs! Mental note for later.
Kitty dozing in the sun, curled up in a fountain. How lovely.
Mr. Rooster. Oh so very handsome, standing on a big pot.
OOOoooo. More Fleurs! Sylvia in background, hands on hips. You don't mess with a woman with her hands on her hips!
Puppies eating cactus?
Puppies that want to come home with us.
A whole pile of pots. Silvia is still negotiating! Doing well!
I think Marcella may be giving life lessons to our young and interesting driver, Richie.
Then, suddenly, we are all done. Up one side of the street, and down the other, into all the shops, some of them twice. Great day! Sylvia got everything she wanted. Three large pots for her roof, two smaller window sill pots, three pots for her fountain, two gorgeous candle holders. Both Marcella and Sylvia brought home the most efficient little BBQ's. Actually, they are 'street stoves' here. Very portable!
A very enjoyable day. I hope we will do it again. So nice to meet you Marcella!
A very enjoyable day. I hope we will do it again. So nice to meet you Marcella!

Article Title: Spike Jonze - the Music Video Director
Jonze is One of the Most Innovative and Extremely Unique Video Directors Today.
Article Link: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/162313/spike_jonze_the_music_video_director.html?page=7&cat=40
My Notes…
Spike Jones is acclaimed director. all over the place (i knew him for advertisements actually) including feature film. this article focuses on music videos
known for use of humor. divergent styles, witty cohesion
short films linked as a playground to break norms… music videos are basically short films.
in practice, music videos are a form of advertisement or branding for an artist
visuals provide a way to appreciate an artist even if they're not your styles so much
The article then breaks down three areas where it feels Jonze is especially artfulsurrealism, narrative and interpretationthen highlights features of different music videos Jonze has directed that exemplify these techniques. Here they are.
The Pharcyde - Drop
Björk - The Triumph of a Heart
[I added this one] Adidas Commercial
P. Diddy - 'It's All About the Benjamins (Rock Remix)
Daft Punk - Da Funk
The Chemical Brothers - Elektrobank
—-> lead: "This technique is reminiscent of the way Norman McLaren uses graphic images to interpret music." Who's he and what's he about?
interpretation can be visual translation of acoustics within music, or narrative/emotional/semantic content.
FATBOY SLIM Weapon Of Choice
Björk - It's Oh So Quiet
Here are some of my thoughts spurred by the article the article:
I noticed the cross-cultural collaboration appreciation necessary for Jonze and artists to each shine. For me, I'm just feeling self-conscious watching them… what me? watching p-diddy in suzzallo espresso ;~) [good for me i think]. Throughout I felt as though the videos showed the talents of all involved shining.
I had some thoughts on the dominance of the visual. It seems like the visual simultaneously elevates and competes with music… honestly the music became subconscious sometimes. I don't equate quality of sound with how dominant it is next to the visual. Visual can be so engaging that the beauty or meaning in sound is lost. In the reverse, a putting the music in context can create a powerful bridge to make an appreciation of the audio accessible.

Rudyard Kipling
A Preface
Poem by Rudyard Kipling
To all to whom this little book may come--
Health for yourselves and those you hold most dear!
Content abroad, and happiness at home,
And--one grand Secret in your private ear: --
Nations have passed away and left no traces,
And History gives the naked cause of it--
One single, simple reason in all cases;
They fell because their peoples were not fit.
Now, though your Body be mis-shapen, blind,
Lame, feverish, lacking substance, power or skill,
Certain it is that men can school the Mind
To school the sickliest Body, to her will--
As many have done, whose glory blazes still
Like mighty flames in meanest lanterns lit:
Wherefore, we pray the crippled, weak and ill--
Be fit--be fit! In mind at first be fit!
And, though your Spirit seem uncouth or small,
Stubborn as clay or shifting as the sand,
Strengthen the Body, and the Body shall
Strengthen the Spirit till she take command;
As a bold rider brings his horse in hand
At the tall fence, with voice and heel and bit,
And leaps while all the field are at a stand.
Be fit--be fit! In body next be fit!
Nothing on earth--no Arts, no Gifts, no Graces--
No Fame, no Wealth--outweighs the wont of it.
This is the Law which every law embraces--
Be fit--be fit! In mind and body be fit!
The even heart that seldom slurs its beat--
The cool head weighing what that heart desires--
The measuring eye that guides the hands and feet--
The Soul unbroken when the Body tires--
These are the things our weary world requires
Far more than superfluities of wit;
Wherefore we pray you, sons of generous sires,
Be fit--be fit! For Honour's sake be fit.
There is one lesson at all Times and Places--
One changeless Truth on all things changing writ,
For boys and girls, men, women, nations, races--
Be fit -- be fit! And once again, be fit!

You surely know how to wrote, I like each and every poem of yours(Report)Reply
Ripper Moore (4/4/2008 11:11:00 AM)
People enjoy poetry for varying reasons of course. Personally, I seek poems that resonate with my experiences, or mindset, or beliefs- that perhaps find words for concepts that I have felt, but could never articulate. A common theme of Kipling's poems, of which this is a definitive example, is that one should recognize and know the flaws in oneself, and instead of being daunted by them, use that knowledge as a starting place from which to work to overcome them. He realized that there is no Triumph without Struggle, and indeed that simply continuing to strive, no matter what, is a triumph in and of itself. This poem has long been a favourite of mine because it elucidates that aphorism so eloquently.(Report)Reply

UTTERMOST PART OF THE EARTH (558 pp.") E. Lucas BridgesDutton ($10).
"When I was very young," writes Author Bridges, "stories of little boys being adopted by wolves fascinated me . . . I yearned to live in the woods, far from whatever civilization existed in Ushuaia."
The "civilization" that young Lucas Bridges resented was a tiny scattering of houses and shanties at the tip of South America, in desolate Tierra del Fuego. Ushuaia's closest contact with the outside world lay 400 miles away in the Falkland Islands, where Author Bridges' father had begun his career...

How to measure your dog
To measure your dog correctly always use a soft tape measure and always measure your dog when they are standing. We recommend you measure your dog using the guidelines shown below and choose the size giving the most room
Collar size is the length measure around your dog's neck. They key is not to be too restrictive so that the collar provides maximum comfort - you must allow space for two fingers between the collar and your dog's neck.
|Step 1 Using a tape measure, measure around your dog's neck about half way up
|Step 2 Take that measurement and add up to 1" just to make sure they will feel comfortable
|Step 3 Check our sizing charts for each collar type before ordering as sizes may vary between
If a measurement falls between two sizes, we recommend going for the larger size so that the collar is not restrictive on your dog.
For the perfect fit, clothing for your dog is measured by the dog's body length, chest and neck.
|Step 1 For the neck size, using a tape measure, measure around your dog's neck about half way
|Step 2 To get perfect length, measure the length of your dog's back from your dog's shoulder
|Step 3 For chest size, place the tape measure on the dog's shoulder blades and measure right around products up the neck blades to the base of the tail the chest at the deepest point. This usually follows the line from the shoulder blades downwards just behind the front legs.

My novella Subterran was previously published via the online platform JukePop, which is no more, so I've added it to Wattpad. I recently became aware of the term neo-noir, and think it describes Subterran to a T. Psychedelic neo-noir with a shot of paranoia and a frosty metallic crunch. We're dancing through a subterranean Antarctic commune with Jonah, a bioenhanced technosexual who loves candy-drip nightclubs and doesn't know what's about to hit him.

Rock N' Write: The Birth of Saint Fox and The Independence
I began writing The Rise of Saint Fox and The Independence in December 2013, or so my computer tells me. That I don't remember. What I do remember is when I got the idea for the book, driving up to Northern California to visit my best and dearest friend from high school. While listening to Bowie's "Scream Like A Baby" (he is, of course, one of the most excellent among storytelling songwriters), the characters from that song began to take on a life of their own for me. I found myself having to pull over onto the shoulder of Highway 5 to jot down ideas, a scrawled rush of character names and details on the back of a gas station receipt. I hadn't intended to write this book, but here it was.
I have always been inspired by music and musicians. Though not much of a musician myself, only able to squeal out basic chords on my little Fender Strat, it's in music, and particularly skilled lyricists, that many of my ideas for writing take shape. When I was driving up that highway five years ago, a sort of narrative began to weave itself among the songs coming through the speakers. Leonard Cohen's "First We Take Manhattan" was obviously a war cry, a place to begin. Radiohead's "You and Whose Army?" showed me what the fictional band's fan base, my own army, would look like. And throughout it all, the heart of the book, the motif that repeated, was and is this:
What if we could take the passion of music, that universal energy, that gorgeous, glittering feedback loop created between spectator and spectacle in live shows, and channel all that energy into something tangible, into changing the world?
What if fans really became an army? What could that army do? Think of the kind of change we could affect with that sort of universal power that emanates from us, from the speakers, from the squeal of steel strings, the battle cries of a hundred thousand voices as they shout out, "This is what you get, when you mess with us" (a pinnacle moment during "Karma Police" at any Radiohead concert). Generate that energy, that strength, that oneness. Bottle it. Sell it. Change the world.
I have always been partial to performers who do just that—perform, drowning myself in everything glam rock and energetic, bright and illuminating, favoring rock icons of old, your Bowies and Jaggers, over those staring at their sneakers up on stage.
You know, in any of your rock icon archetypes, there is a ready-set revolution leader.
In writing Saint Fox and The Independence, the concept of a rock n' roll army ended up colliding with a financial revolution.
The way I write, I let the story lead me, so when I started this project years ago, I didn't know that's where this was headed, but it was where it was always meant to go. Cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, was only on the periphery of my knowledge, but somehow it made its way to the forefront in this story as the salvation of a near-future, rainy, glammy England—home of so many of the greatest rock bands, and the story began to really take shape.
So there you have it—a bit of how the book was born, from the stage, the road, from a few scribbles on the side of a highway. The book is set to be released in June by Unsolicited Press, who came to me at just the right time as I turn my gaze now towards future projects, in the midst of working on this book's sequel, among other things. Here I've included a pdf excerpt of the book if you'd like a sneak peek at what's coming. If you have questions, are interested in reviewing the book, or just want to let me know which rock n' roll band you find most inspiring, don't hesitate to get in touch.
Oh, and I've also been tweeting (into the void) the playlist that helped me write this book, and compiling the songs in a list on YouTube as I share them, since these songs and artists have played such a big part in this creative process.
That's it for now. Next time, (maybe) the editing process—how to take your gas receipt scribbles and strangle them into something cohesive and intelligible.
Rock on, love on, suffer well, love well.

I'm proud to announce that my novel The Rise of Saint Fox and The Independence is forthcoming from Unsolicited Press, with a scheduled release date of June 12, 2018. I'm working with a great team to see this project I've poured so much of myself into come to light—and, even more so than seeing my first novel published, am excited about putting the ideas presented in this book out into the world, especially now when the social-political climate parallels the near-future I've imagined more than ever.
The Rise of Saint Fox and The Independence is about an underground cryptocurrency movement fronted by a London rock band that gains enough followers to spark a revolution.
In a near-future London, eccentric revolutionary Jenson Jeeves is the leader of the anarcho-capitalist group the Arcane Society. When he recruits a charismatic drifter named Sam to headline a band that serves as a front for the Society, the group's soaring popularity draws supporters by the thousands.
With the youth of the nation on his side and a biotech weapon that will revolutionize commerce, Jeeves will at last see his plan fulfilled: To reset a corrupt financial system and eliminate the wealth gap—without violence. Or so he believes.
Puppeteered by Jeeves, Sam is more than willing to champion the cause as Saint Fox—the honey-voiced, incendiary idol of the revolution. But before he knows it he's a wanted criminal, with millions of devoted followers looking to him for their next move.
No war is without casualties.
Over the next few months I'll be posting more often with updates on the book's release. My publisher has also recommended requesting readers by offering 50% off the print book upon release in exchange for a book review, so if you'd be interested please feel free to reach out. If you'd like to get in touch for any promotional inquiries or otherwise, please feel free to contact me directly at reyburnfiction [at] gmail.com.
That's it for now, thanks! Your support means a lot.

Matter – Atoms – Molecules
Today's blog-only flash fic. Part of a collection called The Art of Physics, for the sort of discerning individual who might take an entomology course to avoid taking physics.
Matter – Atoms – Molecules
Kenso stands on the bank of the sea where the water has no color. He has stood on the bank of every sea on earth, and here is the only spot where all colors are absent. On the Southern tip of Africa the seas were a summer green. Off the coasts of the Mediterranean isles, a teal mirror. In the biting lands of the Arctic the waters were grey.
He has travelled many years to find this exact spot. He crouches down, cups his hands in the water, lifts. As always, the water comes out clear. Wherever the water is green, where it is blue, where it is red—it never matters, for whenever he touches it, the color leaves.
But here, here the water does not lie, does not pretend to be something it is not. Here not only does the water have no color, but the drape of the sky and the distant bodies pinned against it do not appear, do not hint at something he can see but never reach. The expanse above where the sky might hang is not even black, it is not any other non-color—it is simply not there.
Kenso wonders if there is oxygen on the bank of this shore. The absence of sky must mean the absence of atmosphere. He does not feel the ebb and flow of his own breath, but he does not suffocate.
For a moment he tries to remember the faces of ones once important to him. He sees the faces, can pull out distinct features—a plump lip, thick eyebrow, all painted in colors like the sea and sky. He lets the images float through his mind as though watching a passing sailboat.
The water in the sea changes shape. A sphere, a star, now a bird—a phoenix, symbol of fire and rebirth. The water phoenix spins in a circular motion, then dissolves back into the sea.
The sea is clear, his hands before his eyes are clear. Hands as formless as the water. His body is bright light. Light with no color.
The sea dances into a river, takes him along with it. Past many wavering shorelines, through thick forests, above the highest mountains. Color, color everywhere. Bright bright light and blackest dark. His lungs expand as he drinks it all in waves.
Before his eyes now, a colorless fire. He breathes.
And the fire catches the water.
Berlin Ben's Big Night Out on SubverCity Transmit
The latest episode of SubverCity Transmit, the podcasting brainchild of myself and co-conspirator Erin B. Lillis, features a short story of mine called Berlin Ben's Big Night Out, previously published by The Subtopian. This episode is hopefully timely as we welcome individuals of all colors, genders, etc., to join us down in the SubverCity Station.
Whoever you are, whatever you are, and wherever you are in space-time, come on down and enjoy this tale of a gender-bending mad scientist getting his night in the moon. A one-off short story set in the cold, neon-lit world of Subterran.
SUBTERRAN in Top 25 for JukePop's 2016 Summer Writing Project
UPDATE: JukePop appears to be no more, so any links here to Subterran are darker than its clubs on a lo-power cold-day shutdown. My plan for this bad boy is to most likely republish it via Wattpad. Stay tuned.
The aforementioned SUBTERRAN has been included in the Top 25 for JukePop's Summer Writing Project this year. JukePop is partnering with cultural arts promoters and publishers 1888 to select one of these 25 novellas based on July's reader analytics (retention + reading time) for publication. Head on over to JukePop to get your hallucinatory, bio-enhanced fix and show some support. Votes, comments, and time spent reading will increase the odds of getting published and are greatly appreciated.
1888 is also conducting a series of podcast interviews from those involved in the Summer Writing Project. You can check out mine here, where I talk with 1888's Dean Moses about the writing process and why I love science fiction in an episode of their podcast The How The Why.

Girl With The Dragon Tatoo aka the Milennium series is for a (film) sequel though it might not be the one you were expecting.
Sony is moving forward with a film adaption of The Girl In The Spider's Web, the fourth in the series, and the first one not written by the late Stueg Larsson. Sony's first adaption starred Rooney Mara and Daniel Craig and was a near shot for shot remake of Swedish film, so it will be interesting to see what this adaption will look like. Fede Alvarez (known for thriller Don't Breathe) is set to direct.
Columbia Pictures president Sanford Panitch made the announcement Monday at the London Book Fair.
"In all of contemporary literature, Lisbeth Salander is completely sui generis — probably one of the greatest female literary characters of all time in my view," he said in a statement. "Modern punk defiance personified, she is unforgettable in every incarnation, truly one of the most compelling characters we've seen in recent years. David Lagercrantz's brilliant work in continuing this remarkable series honors Stieg Larsson's masterpiece. We at Sony are so honored to be part of this series with Yellowbird, and we're so excited to be making an original film of The Girl in the Spider's Web. Fede Alvarez is the perfect choice to direct. Fede is an amazing director with a unique vision of the world. In particular, his talent and skill in creating psychological intensity will bring Lisbeth Salander back into popular movie culture with a roar."

How further trade talks could affect Missouri farmers
COLUMBIA - During a town hall meeting earlier this week, Senator Claire McCaskill expressed concern for the future of Missouri farmers after the United States left the Trans-Pacific Partnership earlier this year.
Farmers in Missouri see the Trans-Pacific Partnership, or TPP, as a missed opportunity. Entering into the trade agreement would have brought more than four billion dollars in additional revenue to the U.S. agriculture industry, according to Blake Hurst, Missouri Farm Bureau Board of Directors President.
The deal also would have increased access for meat and dairy.
Hurst says this would have increased demand for Missouri corn and soybeans, the state's top exports.
"We had an opportunity, and it's gone now. So that is a concern," said Hurst.
Still, he holds hope the agriculture industry can continue to grow through other agreements and trade acts.
"It may be possible to recreate this agreement with some of the bi-lateral agreements the president has talked about, but it is still a concern," said Hurst.
Hurst added the additional income for Missouri farmers could have been a stimulant for the state's economy overall. "We're consumers, we're just like everybody else in mid-Missouri. Grocery stores, movie theaters, all of the places where we might spend income were harmed by this loss of this opportunity."
Shane Kinne, Director of Public Policy at the Missouri Corn Association agrees, and thinks the impacts go beyond just farmers. He said consumers would have been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the TPP.
"When you have free movement of products from one country to another, we think we see the consumer win every time," said Kinne.
Those who support President Trump's decision to leave the TPP say staying in the pact would have led to more U.S. companies moving jobs out of the country, but Hurst says this comes at a time when farmers in the U.S. are hurting.
He claims farm incomes have decreased for four consecutive years- something that hasn't happened since the great depression.
"It was a time when we really needed a boost," he said.
Still, Hurst hopes with the upcoming renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Act, Missouri Farmers can see a boost in the near future.

You might have already heard of, or even already be a
contributor to, the VJ Theory project.
If you haven't then the project falls into two areas: samples of work from the forthcoming book and the project/community which lives at:
This project intends to develop a community actively discussing and reflecting on philosophy and theory related with Vjing and realtime interaction.
It is apparent, during workshops and discussions at Festivals and symposia, that practitioners of both VJing and Interactive Installations will quickly move on from problems with the practicalities of production to more complex ideas of how and why the process has, for example, significance for the viewer.
There is a lack of written texts on the philosophies and theories related with VJing and realtime interaction.
This project and the associated book, aim to bring together work by some of the foremost practitioners and academics in the field.
We aim to produce a body of work which, for the first time, will address these theoretical issues and place the practices of VJing and Interactive Installation, into a useful context.
Although we have received an excellent response in contributions for the book, there are also areas that, we as editors, feel need to be developed more.
Areas we still need material:
Politics (activism, guerrilla, community focused realtime interaction and performance) Intellectual property DIY culture Realtime interaction and performance as developing tools (pd/GEM/Arduino or MAX/MSP/Jitter as used in performance programming for example) Body
If you know of any text which address these areas in relation to realtime interaction (either published or not) then please let us know.
We also welcome other contributions you might have to the content of the web site
We are accepting full texts, between 3000 and 5000 words. Deadline for ...

Thanks to the latest issue of NEURAL (see http://english.neural.it ) i just discovered some great (e-)music at http://www.electricsongs.com/ by musician-educator Bob Gluck.
One of his max/msp-expanded instruments is an eShofar:
"The traditional shofar is an ancient instrument whose purpose is not strictly musical. The shofar blast - in our day, mostly limited to the Jewish High Holy Days - provides a call to reflection, an alarm, a wake-up call ... Digital processing of the sounds allows one to listen 'inside' the sound of the shofar. " eShofar1 <http://www.electricsongs.com/eShofar/eshofar1_interface.html> (2001 - 2005) is held by the right hand, enclosed within an I-Cube sensor glove. Finger movements upon the body of the shofar thus control the filtering and other sound processing, that is achieved by means of a custom designed Max / MSP software interface.
eShofar2 <http://www.electricsongs.com/eShofar/eshofar2_interface.html> (2005) uses complex algorithms to create a chaotic improvisational system based on the live performed sounds of the shofar.
"The performer can toggle on an algorithm that tracks repeated notes and perfect fifths, both common traditional shofar sound gestures, which may influence the system." There's a great but tiny video of one of his performances in Vienna, i think.

ROOMIKS CUBE is a multichannel panoramic A/V performance. Part of the ongoing MUX A/V series, this rare event is a collaborative effort between live video performance artists C-TRL Labs and NY based electronic composer Caural. Specially tailored to Monkeytown's minimalist cubic interior, C-TRL will utilize motion graphics, 3D and realtime software (Modul8 and Max/MSP Jitter) to create an environmental extension to the existing architectural space. Caural sets the tone w/ flowing abstract compositions in a rich sonic space. The audience will be immersed in a whirl of architectural landscapes and organic forms and tones in both performers playful experimental styles.

Based on chromotherapy studies, specific colors bring balance to our physical and emotional systems. Each selected set of three colors(as samples) brings different stimulations and effects. The intention is to investigate how color in motion can alter mood or emotional states similar to music; what certain music [...]
as most of you know, the tank is a nonprofit performing arts space in lower manhattan. we believe in maintaining a space for artists in manhattan where they can perform and explore without feeling the financial pressures that manhattan increasingly brings.
We have been in our new home in Tribeca with Collective:Unconscious for almost a year now (!) and it is so nice to not be writing you all on a weekly basis telling you we are losing our home, like we had to do for the first few years of existence.
However, we are still struggling to get by in the big city. But we dont plan on staying that way! oh no.
To that end, we are proud to be launching our Freedom of Expression Campaign. The goal is to raise $100,000 over the next few months to help us secure our somewhat tenuous foothold on the big apple, increase and stabilize our administrative staff, and continue bringing you fantastic, affordable programming for the years to come.
we have secured a few amazing patrons who are collectively willing to donate $65,000 IF (and yes, this here is THE RUB) IF we are able to get 1,000 additional individual donations. Thats right, if 1,000 of our friends, artists, and loved ones donate even $12 to the tank this year, then these donors will unlock the $65,000 they have pledged and we will reach our goal. they want to see that we are loved. can you show them we are loved? yes, you can!
But 1000 people is a lot. ive only got like 14 myspace friends and that includes Tom, so thats just not gonna cut it.
so weve got a website. you can go there now and donate any amount of money, become a tank member, get some free stuff in exchange, and generally know youve done your part in securing the future of a place you care about.
READY? Just do it right now while you're thinking about it. Think how good it will feel!! IT WILL FEEL GREAT!
Thanks folks. and if the tank is a place you care about or has been good to you, please consider spreading the word and letting people know...stick it on your blog or your myspace page or whatever. Thanks Thanks Thanks!
Tonight and Tomorrow Night (thats wed 11/15 and thurs 11/16) we are having happy hour / mixer events in our basement lounge. cheap booze and lots of good people. come after work and say hey. also a convenient place/time to donate in person if you'd rather give cash...

Re: Re: thoughts on Appropriation versus Sampling
yes, i agree...
I really don't have a simple thought that doesn't involve appropriation or sampling on some level. your painting and the photograph involve both but are different resolutions. Refusing that doesn't have to be a generational thing, as in when you were born or what sort of music you have been exposed to. Being able to accept it may be a bent of mind that is reinforced from being creative with a computer though, i hope so, but unfortunately the person suing you hasn't been bitten by that yet.

CNBC's Melissa Francis reported today on "speculation" that the Saudi Oil Minister, Ali Al-Nami, might be replaced when the Saudi monarchy shakes up its cabinet in February. Al-Nami has held the post for 12 years. Also of note on oil--the New York Times reported over the weekend that the Saudis are committed to keeping oil prices at $50 a barrel. This, some say, could be an effort to squeeze Iran's economy--which has favored rising oil prices along with Venezuela. Oil revenues are crucial to the economies of both those countries.
So what would Al-Nami's departure mean for the Saudi's and the price of oil? Jan Stuart is an oil economist with UBS and Roger Diwan is managing director with PFC Energy. Both appeared on "Morning Call."
Diwan says that the Saudis are really doing what they have been doing all along--and that they aren't really changing policy with their interest in a $50-60 a barrel price range. He says they've been working on that for the last two years. And why? Diwan says it's in the Saudi's interest to keep prices at a certain level--in order to avoid a negative impact on the global economy.

Review: Four stylish on-ear headphones worth hearing

Bowers & Wilkins P3 Headphones
B&W's P5 has been a hit critical and (as best I can tell) commercial hit. Its design, comfort, and sound make it a good value at $300, but that price tag is too big for some consumers to swallow.
The P3 aims to make a good amount of the P5's design and quality available at a lower price—specifically, $200. To achieve that price, the company had to surrender the P5's luxurious leather in favor of attractive cloth and rubberized plastic. On the other hand, unlike the P5, the P3 is available in blue, as well as black and white versions. The size of the P3's earpieces is smaller, as is the size of the drivers within the earpieces. However, the P3 retains the P5's overall look, chrome and brushed-metal highlights, removable magnetic earpads, and removable cable with three-button remote and microphone (an audio-only cable bundled with headset). As with the P5, each cable plug is cleverly hidden behind the earpieces, with the cable wound inside to provide strain relief. B&W includes a two-year warranty.
To use a car analogy, the P3 is like buying the base model of a car instead of one that offers a higher trim level, with cloth seats instead of leather, and with a few luxury touches omitted. The P3 still looks great, though not as spectacular as the P5, and the earpads are soft and comfortable. Large-headed buyers should exercise caution: Like the Navigator, the P3 would benefit from a headband with more padding. Also, whereas the P5 relies on a single cable that attaches to the left earpiece, the P3 uses a split cable that attaches to both earpieces (via mono 2.5mm plugs); I find that two-sided cables tend to get in my way more than a single-sided cable.
In an improvement on the P5, the P3 folds into a smaller package, though the P3's earpieces don't swivel to the degree that the P5's do, making the P3 slightly less comfortable to wear. I liked the P3's rigid clamshell carrying case, which offers more protection than the P5's quilted carrying bag. Like other B&W models, the P3's remote and microphone module is perfectly cylindrical except for a depression that indicates the location of the center button. This makes the center button easy to press, but it's also hard to determine the front of the volume up and down buttons, making them hard to press.
Moving directly from the Navigator to the P3, I noticed improvement in the treble frequencies, which also do a better job of standing up to the P3's bass. However, though the P3 dials back the bass in comparison to the Navigator, the bass is still excessive and a little sloppy. As a result, the P3's midrange frequencies, which are recessed relative to the low and high frequencies—are largely overwhelmed by the low frequencies. Overall, I liked the P3's sound better than the Navigator's, but I still found listening to the P3 for long periods of time to be fatiguing.
I borrowed a friend's P5 headset to assess how it sounded next to the P3—and using the P5 after the P3 was a revelation. Not only did I get the luxurious feel of the P5's leather, but the sound was vastly superior. Bass was tighter and extended deeper; high frequencies were more detailed, and the P5's lovely midrange was clearly audible against the bass. The P5's sound isn't strictly neutral (it still has slightly exaggerated bass), and it isn't the last word in detail (it errs on the warm side), but it's well-balanced and exceedingly pleasant to listen to, a quality that the P3 is somewhat deficient in.
V-Moda Crossfade M–80 v2
V-Moda made its name with bass-heavy, in-ear headphones, and the company's older $200 Crossfade LP is a full-size offering that continues that bass-heavy sound signature. In making a more portable version of the Crossfade LP, however, the company signaled that the resulting Crossfade M–80 targeted audiophiles.
The M–80 (as well as the V–80, a version featuring branding and design touches from HBO's True Blood television show) has remarkably solid metal, plastic, and cloth construction. The design is much more angular, industrial, and edgy than any of the other headphones here; it won't be to everyone's taste, but I think it looks great. The headphones are available in shadow (black/dark gray) and pearl (white/light gray) color schemes. Notably, you can customize the outside of each earpiece with interchangeable "shield" faceplates that are available in various of colors, with optional text or logos (including the option to submit a custom logo). You get an additional pair of shields free if you purchase the M–80 directly from V-Moda, or you can purchase them later for $25 per pair.
V-Moda includes two cloth-wrapped and Kevlar-reinforced cables in the package: Each has an inline microphone, but one of them features an Apple-style three-button inline remote and a microphone, while the other uses a generic one-button inline remote for use with non-Apple devices. The current version of the M–80 (v2) separates the microphone from the remote module, positioning the microphone higher—and closer to your mouth—with the remote lower on the cable to make it easier to see and use. Either cable attaches to the left earpiece via a 3.5mm miniplug. The company sells replacements for the three-button cable for $20, or the one-button version for $15; an audio-only cable (with no microphone or remote) is available for $12.
Also included with the M–80 is a hard-plastic "Exoskeleton" case whose design suggests a Klingon forehead or the boney torso of Ridley Scott's Alien. Beyond its sci-fi trappings, the case features interior elastic bands for holding cables. V-Moda offers a two-year warranty against manufacturing defects, along with a 50-percent discount on a replacement headset in the event of user-inflicted damage or out-of-warranty failure.
Though the M–80's earpads don't feel as luxurious as the P5's, or even the Navigator's, I found these headphones to be the most comfortable overall. As before, my big head caused comfort problems during longer listening sessions, in part due to the pressure of the earpieces, but that pressure also yielded impressive sound isolation—and the M–80's metal construction enables you to bend the headphone a bit to improve comfort. (Again, I would like to see more padding in the headband.) The cables give the impression of quality, though they're heavier than the other cables here. The company's three-button remote is a little bulky but easy to use.
Sonically, I found the M–80 to be the most impressive headphone of the bunch. There's a bit of bass emphasis—V-Moda's "modern-audiophile" sound is purposely designed to provide a bit of extra kick—but the bass sounds tight for a sealed headphone, and it doesn't interfere with the midrange and treble frequencies. Those frequencies are impressive, too, as the M–80 provided more detail than B&W's P5 and made me feel more involved in the music. On the other hand, some listeners may prefer the P5's smoothness, and the M–80 did have a bit more of the closed-in sound characteristic of sealed headphones. The M–80 isn't the best pair of headphones I've used, but it's the best pair of sealed, supra-aural headphones I've tried.
Speak into the mic
A microphone often seems like an afterthought in full-size headphones; but since these models are designed with portability in mind, I tested each model's inline mic. Ultimately, each works fine for occasional phone calls, though the none sounded as good as the microphone on Apple's pack-in EarPods. The Aviator's microphone sounded somewhat distant, and the V-Moda M–80's sounded particularly distant. The P3's microphone came closest to matching the excellent performance of the EarPods, followed by the SA950i.
Bottom line
Among the four models here, I found two hits and two misses. The RHA SA950i isn't perfect, but it looks and sounds great for $60. The Skullcandy Navigator also looks great, but only committed bass heads should choose it over the SA950i. For its part, the Bowers & Wilkins P3 looks great but sounds crowded, closed-in, and overly bassy; I recommend stepping down to the SA950i or up to the V-Moda M–80 or over to the previously reviewed B&W P5. As for the M–80, it sounds fantastic and its build quality is impressive. In fact, though some people may prefer the smooth sound of B&W's P5, I think the M–80 delivers better audio for $100 less. (At a street price of $150, the M–80 is a spectacular bargain.)

Around the world UN staffers mark 11 September with solemn ceremonies
In Kabul, UN spokesman Manoel de Almeida e Silva told a government-sponsored ceremony that Afghanistan was one of the countries most directly affected by the events that took place a year ago. "May this remembrance here, and others which are happening around the world today, be the inspiration for the people of Afghanistan and the international community to recommit themselves to the task, though long and difficult, of bringing about the political and physical reconstruction of Afghanistan and the well-being of the Afghan people," he said.The spokesman also read out Secretary-General Kofi Annan's message marking the occasion, which stresses that the memory of those who died nearly a year ago in the terrorist attacks should serve to inspire a better, more just and more peaceful world.Africa's commemorations included a ceremony in Kinshasa which was attended by the Secretary-General's Special Representative for the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Amos Namanga Ngongi, as well as Deputy Special Representative Lena Sundh. That memorial service at the Cathedrale du Centenaire also drew the participation of government officials and representatives of UN agencies and the diplomatic corps.At a US-sponsored ceremony in Pristina, the Secretary-General's Special Representative for Kosovo, Michael Steiner, paid tribute to the memory of "the thousands of women and men who were victims of hateful intolerance in New York and Washington." He said the living must honour the dead through action, adding that for those working in the province, "that means redoubling our commitment to make Kosovo a place where all its people can live in dignity and security." And in Switzerland, Sergei Ordzhonikidze, the Director-General of the UN Office at Geneva, issued his own statement calling on all to remember and honour "the courage and dignity of the thousands who lost their lives, the fortitude of their bereaved families, and the bravery of the countless workers engaged in the rescue and recovery work." Terrorism, he said, "constitutes a serious and immediate threat to international peace and security and everything that we as a human family believe in, and the UN will continue to take a lead in combating it in all its forms."

Healthy Skin Care for Beginners
by Renee LeMasneyProper care of the skin—the largest organ in the body—is vital to overall health. One of the fastest growing trends in skin care at the moment is the expansion of personal care products formulated specifically for men. Those looking to up their skin care game—both men and women—should begin with these simple tips for healthy, younger looking skin.
- Look for natural products that do not contain chemicals, additives, sulfates, fragrances or parabens to avoid breakouts, rashes and irritation.
- Wash the face and body every day. Try using a product such as black soap.
- Moisturize. When looking for a face moisturizer, make sure it is made of natural ingredients. For knees and elbows, use a body butter.
- Exfoliate and rejuvenate every day. Reveal smoother, softer skin by using a natural, gentle scrub on the face and body.
- Drink plenty of water every day. Drinking at least six to eight glasses of water a day helps rid the body of toxins to avoid dull and dehydrated skin.
- Get adequate sleep. Try to clock at least eight hours of sleep each night.
- Eat well—and right. Fresh fruits and vegetables and protein-rich foods are most beneficial to the skin.
