text: Georges Enesco was a virtuoso Romanian violinist, composer, conductor, and teacher. He was born on August 19, 1881 (Brahms was 48 years old.) He is best remembered for his two Romanian Rhapsodies for orchestra (1901-1902), although there are piano versions of these works as well. He composed quite a number of other pieces (symphonies and a lot of chamber music but no violin concertos) which are now seldom performed by anyone. He entered the Vienna Conservatory at age 7 where he studied with Robert Fuchs, among others. In 1895, he traveled to Paris to continue his studies. As a teacher, he is famous for having taught Ivry Gitlis, Yehudi Menuhin, Christian Ferras, Ida Haendel, and Arthur Grumiaux, among many others. His conducting debut came in 1923 with the Philadelphia Orchestra. Although he continued to conduct until very late in his life, he retired from playing at age sixty nine, due to physical ailments. In the U.S., he spent a season as conductor of the New York Philharmonic (1936-37), gave innumerable concerts, and taught (in New York) for about five years. He famously said that he was not so much interested in perfection as in emotionally reaching his audience. In 1939, he married a princess, a friend of Queen Marie of Romania. His recording legacy extends to not only conducting, but to recording on the violin and piano. He may very well have been the first to record the complete violin solo works of Bach. That recording was not treated kindly by some critics. In Enesco's case, he had the bad luck to reach his violinistic prime when recording technology was virtually nonexistent and to reach old age just as the recording industry was beginning to make progress (1950). An interesting story about Enesco has been told many times though I'm not certain if it is factual or not. It is said that Enesco once arranged a recital at the Salle Gaveau in Paris, as a favor to a good friend, who was the father of a young violin student who was not terribly gifted and who was not quite ready to play in public. However, nobody bought a ticket to the recital because the young violinist was completely unknown. The young boy's father persuaded Enesco to accompany the student on the piano so that the concert would sell out. Reluctantly, Enesco agreed and the concert was sold out quickly. An excited audience gathered on the night of the concert. From the stage, before the concert began, Enesco asked the audience if someone might not volunteer to come up and turn pages for him. Alfred Cortot, the famous pianist, was in the audience and came up to turn pages for Enesco. The soloist was of a low quality so the following morning the critic of Le Figaro wrote: "There was a strange concert at the Salle Gaveau last night. The man whom we adore when he plays the violin played the piano. Another man whom we adore when he plays the piano turned the pages. But the man who should have turned the pages played the violin." Enesco died on May 4, 1955, at the age of 74.

Starfleet considers recruitment center shake-up
SAN FRANCISCO, EARTH — Starfleet officials released a report today that proposes a reorganization of its network of recruitment centers.
Seeking to reverse the continued decline in applications to the academy, the report recommends closing approximately fifty centers with consistently low recruitment and reassigning their resources and personnel to existing centers where recruitment is steady or rising. In addition, approximately twenty new centers would be opened in areas of so-called "high impact potential," such as New Sydney, which has applied for Federation membership.
If the recommendations are enacted, several Federation planets, including Zalda, Inferna Prime, and Caldos, would lose their only recruitment office. As the report notes, however, there are already "numerous sparsely populated or remote member planets" without a recruitment office on their soil.
"In the case of Caldos, which on average receives fewer than twenty applicants per year, services could easily be provided by the nearby recruitment center on Deep Space 6," read the report's final conclusions.
The Federation Council's Starfleet Oversight Committee will discuss the report's recommendations and bring in Starfleet Command and Starfleet Academy officials for hearings later this month.

Speaker: Sam Upham (also at 5:30pm)
Reading: Matthew 18:1-14
Additional notes for the Summer 2018 Sermon Series
Matthew 18:1-14 New International Version – UK (NIVUK)
The greatest in the kingdom of heaven
18 At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, 'Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?'
2 He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. 3 And he said: 'Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.
Causing to stumble
6 'If anyone causes one of these little ones – those who believe in me – to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung round their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. 7 Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come! 8 If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire. 9 And if your eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.
The parable of the wandering sheep
10 'See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven. [a]
12 'What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? 13 And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off. 14 In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.
- Matthew 18:11 Some manuscripts include here the words of Luke 19:10.

Kempsey Shire Council has announced that Cleanaway has successfully secured the waste collections contract for 2017-2027.
Commencing on 1 July 2017 the new service involves changes to bin sizes and collection frequencies aimed at keeping community costs down, increasing resource recovery, and reducing waste going to the local landfill.
Under the contract all households with a waste service will receive a weekly green bin for food and garden organics, a fortnightly red rubbish bin collection, and the option for a larger yellow recycling bin for a small fee.
Kempsey Shire Council General Manager David Rawlings said these best practice waste management arrangements were necessary to meet the EPA's waste disposal targets and Council's economic and environmental objectives.
"If we do nothing, waste costs will continue to rise. This new waste service and education program will help residents sort waste properly and make additional savings," Mr Rawlings said.
"If our community continues to improve recycling rates and keep more food and garden waste out of landfill, we'll achieve further savings that will be passed back to households through reduced waste charges.
"The new bin sizes will give most households more space for their waste over a fortnightly period, so the key will be to ensure we are putting everything in the right bin."
As the successful tenderer, Cleanaway met Council's requirements for the provision of an efficient, economical and sustainable waste service that can adapt to changes in industry standards and meet the needs of the community.
NSW Regional Manager, Michael Biagi, said Cleanaway would be working closely with Kempsey Shire Council and the local community to achieve waste reduction, recycling and composting goals.
"We've helped regional and metropolitan councils across Australia to improve waste management and provide savings for the community and the environment," Michael said.
Residents will receive information about bin size options, pricing and important dates over coming months.
Further information:
Melissa McColl, Communications and Engagement Manager
M: 0466 323 844 E: firstname.lastname@example.com
Cleanaway Waste Management Ltd is Australia's leading waste management company, operating a national network of unique collection, processing, treatment and landfill assets from over 200 locations across Australia. Our philosophy is that all waste is a resource and we aim to incorporate recover, recycling and reuse throughout our operations and those of our clients. Our mission is to make a sustainable future possible for all our stakeholders.

Free event open to the public
The Optimizing Mental Wellness event will return for a second year at NSU on May 11, 2019, at 8:30 A.M.
Open to the public, this free event is a partnership between NSU's Brief Therapy Institute, Psychology Services Center, and Mailman Segal Center for Human Development. Coinciding with Mental Health Awareness Month, the event will highlight the more than 30 mental health clinics at NSU that offer services to the community. Those services are priced at a sliding scale based on the client's income.
"Mental health affects everyone in their lifetime in some way," said event coordinator Paula Boros, M.S. "Maybe you know someone that is affected by mental health concerns, but does not know where to start. Or maybe you are starting to notice something is different about yourself."
Throughout the day, specialists will discuss topics related to mental health. The keynote address will be "Relationship Reboot: Dive proofing your relationships" by Anne Hearon Rambo, Ph.D., from the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences' Department of Family Therapy. The keynote will cover methods for changing patterns to ensure successful, long lasting relationships.
By tying in with Mental Health Awareness Month, Boros said one of the event's goals is to end the stigma around seeking out mental health treatment. Mental health stigma can also cross cultural boundaries.
"In South Florida we have a variety of culture and diversity, each having a different understanding of what mental health means to them," Boros said. "As a result, each culture handles mental health issues differently."
Lunch is included with an RSVP for the free event, which will take place in the Carl DeSantis Building on NSU's Fort Lauderdale/Davie Campus.

Take Strides On Artistry
We take our hardscapes seriously, that's why we use Belgard pavers to get the job done right! At Luxury Living Scapes, we believe that walkways should be more than just a tool to get from point A to point B. We design beautiful paths and create the perfect look for your walkway in order to complete your outdoor living space!
The type of material you use for your walkways and steps matters a great deal in their overall look, design and maintenance. Paver walkway designs are greatly influenced by the materials used in their construction. Here are just a few options that are available for your walkway installation:
- Flagstone: Flagstone is a very popular material for a walkway. It looks natural and attracts attention immediately. The color and texture are a great addition to the overall design. Aside from looks, flagstone also has other, more practical advantages. For example, it has a textured surface so you won't slip on it. The material is very durable and also absorbs water naturally. Moreover, sometimes grass and vegetation can grow through the gaps and add a different charm to the entire setting.
- Brick: Like Flagstone, brick is also extremely popular and fits in especially well with old, colonial or craftsman style homes. Brick walkways have a timeless charm to them, and they fit in naturally in a garden or a lawn. The material is also permeable to an extent and very durable. The best advantage of brick is the easy repair and maintenance. If a brick or a few bricks on your walkway are damaged, you can simply remove them and have them replaced. Moreover, they just need a washing with soap and water every now and then to look great.
- Concrete: Concrete is very versatile, and can be used in a variety of different ways on walkways. Some designs call pavers while others include adding color to a poured concrete installation. You can add decorative borders to the path or use stamped concrete to give it a unique look. The options with concrete are limitless and it's also why an increasing number of people are utilizing it.
There are many other options to choose from when it comes to choosing the right materials for your new walkway! In addition to our high-quality materials, we also provide transformative outdoor designs for your outdoor living space that will make sure to complete the look of your new landscape.

Question: Dear Luise: I have been in a two-year relationship with a good man, four years older and is living with non- Hodgkins lymphoma. He is a retired Doctor and we have not had sex in a year and I am going out of my skull! I am healthy and active and so depressed and feel worthless and he just laughs! I feel like we are just roommates! He does not want me to leave him. Help; I want to shoot my self! D.
Answer: Dear D.: The absence of sexual intimacy either works for both of you or it doesn't. There's no simpler way to put it.
Anguish over it is wasted energy. He laughs but that may reflect embarrassment. Laughter can be a defense mechanism and a cover-up for despair. Who knows?
He's educated. He has studied anatomy and physiology, so he knows what you need and how to provide it in one way or another. For reasons of his own, both physical and emotional, he doesn't have the energy or it's not worth the effort. That may be hard for you to understand but when there is no interest, everything changes. Motivation to please someone sexually has a reciprocal side to it but he has apparently lost interest. He's not pursuing getting it back and may feel or know that it's futile.
There are many, asexual, devoted couples out there that do not see themselves as roommates. They are connected on a deep level and committed in a very real way that roommates know nothing about or are even remotely interested in. You either elect to go that route or you don't. Neither way is "right." You need to be true to yourself, your needs, your beliefs and your own concepts of relationship.
He has a physical disability, with an emotional component. Picture him in a wheelchair and unable to ever walk again. In that picture, imagine that you are a hiker and that long, backpacking trips with your loved give you deep satisfaction. Would you enter into a relationship with someone with no hope of his ever going with you? How much do you love him? What else does he offer? How can you be true to yourself? It's like that. To sort it out, you may even need to enter into counseling. It's not an easy issue to face and address because it can't be resolved in the normal sense of the word. It can only be accepted, adapted to and compensated for. Probably none of that is very appealing to you and it's all on your head, so to speak.
He has lost something and you must give up something. There's a very radical difference between the two. One reflects no real choice and the other requires a choice to be made…voluntarily and at great cost. Blessings, Luise

CGIN: 10 Years and Changes Ahead
This year will mark the 10th anniversary of the Cooperative Grocers' Information Network (CGIN), which inspires us to reflect on what we've been able to accomplish as we close in on a decade of operations. It will also be a year of change—some little and one big one. More on that in a minute.
To date, CGIN's success is a strong statement of our members' truly generous natures and tirelessly cooperative spirits. Without a doubt, we would not be where we are today—with an increasingly comprehensive and ever-expanding library of resources, more and more self-generated content (e.g., How to Start a Food Co-op manual, the Livable Wage model, and some upcoming legal white papers), photo exhibits, deli recipes, training materials, three lively listserves, a web discussion board, and countless other resources on our site. None of this would have been possible without the continued contributions of our member co-ops and their staff.
For those of you who like numbers, as of the end of 2006 CGIN had:
- 138 retail co-op members—up from 100 in 2001.
- Over 1,275 different items in our "basic resource library"—up from 1,000 last year and 348 five years ago.
- Continued growth in the use of our site, as measured by "page views" per month—up an average of 84 percent over last year for the past 12 months and up at least 360 percent from four years ago.
- 46 different exhibits in the CGIN "photo gallery"—which was just started in 2001 and had four exhibits at the end of that year.
- About 210 different "user sessions" each day—up from 90 a year ago and 46 four years ago.
- 421 subscribers to our "main" listserve, 112 subscribers to the "Marketing and Membership" specialized listserve, and 71 participants in the listserve for Human Resources managers;
- Approximately 4,720 different individuals who use the site each month—up from 1,000 four years ago.
Highlights from 2006
We were also really pleased to work with Carolee Colter this past year in a major upgrade to the CGIN "Livable Wage" model. We had a great task force of HR and general managers who helped with the process: Michele Buchanan (New Leaf Market), Crystal Halvorson (Menomonie Market), Kari Kaminski (Outpost Natural Foods Co-op), and Sharret Rose (La Montañita Co-op). Since the original cooperative livable wage model was developed in 2003, we've been collecting feedback and updating the model and tools in small ways each year. However, for 2006, we felt it was time for an "upgrade" to the whole model and a close review of how all aspects of the model work in practice. The CGIN Livable Wage model, version 2.0, is now available online.
CGIN also helped coordinate a tour of the MidCounties Co-op, headquartered in Oxford, England, to better understand the important work they are doing on co-op branding and messaging. Our group included participants from CGIN and NCGA, as well as Paul Hazen from the NCBA, and was of great inspiration to all involved. (See "Cutting Edge in the Cotswolds?" in CG #127, November-December 2006.)
And, of course, we continue to try to build improvements to our site to make it easier and more useful for members. In 2006, we:
- Finalized our online job posting system so users can post, edit, and remove their own job notices directly, including an email notification service for those looking for
co-op jobs.
- Added contributor profiles to our system, so users can better understand the operational context and scope of those who contributed materials to the site.
- Refined the index of materials in our basic resources library—to add more sub-topic and even "sub-sub-topic" areas to make it easier for users to find items.
- Upgraded the M&M and HR listserves to new software.
- Updated the web discussion board that we host for NCGA to facilitate discussion about its new national supply agreement among NCGA members.
Changes coming in 2007
We have now added the capacity for members to submit items to the site online. This should help you and CGIN streamline the process of getting new items online for sharing. When you're ready to submit new items, you'll be able to do so directly by going to www.cgin.coop/sub_library.asp0. The accompanying illustration just shows part of the online form but will give you a sense of what to look for. We hope this makes it easier for you to send in items. We're also looking forward to upgrading the CGIN-list (open forum) listserve, as well as working with the Food Co-op 500 project on ways that CGIN can support new co-op development efforts.
After a very exciting and visionary planning retreat last June, CGIN has now developed an ambitious three-year plan that identifies how it can more fully realize its potential. This is an exciting time for CGIN; your organization is well poised to build its ability to contribute in even more ways to the success of food co-ops.
This leads to our "bigger" change in 2007. This new plan makes it clear that CGIN's potential far exceeds its current capacity, given its limited resources in terms of annual budget and staffing. Accordingly, I will be passing the baton for CGIN management on to a new contractor in 2007. We have posted a job opening announcement on the CGIN job listings pages (see www.cgin.coop/jobsavail.asp). There you can also find a detailed "request for proposal" for CGIN's overall management, including an overview of our three-year plan. Please help us find someone great to take over this wonderful organization and resource.
CGIN is built on a very solid foundation—with a highly functional website that generates good traffic and provides valuable assistance to food co-ops; with three active listserves that help folks share information and ideas daily; with tax-exempt, nonprofit status; and with a history of profitable operations. Financially, CGIN can afford to run a little deficit in 2007 to help a new executive director get up to speed and develop the capacity to deliver on CGIN's plan. The CGIN board agrees that this is a great investment in CGIN's future—to enhance its capacity. As an organization, CGIN's foundation is solid, and this is a great time for CGIN to move into the hands of someone who can devote more to its success and transformation.
In the meantime, we'll be here and will continue to be happy to help you. Bella ([email protected]) and I both are happy to continue to keep CGIN rolling until the board has completed its hiring process. Call or email us whenever you need help from CGIN.
Karen Zimbelman is Western Corridor development director for the National Cooperative Grocers Association ([email protected] or 707/445-4849).

Our trip was arranged expressly for the purpose of bridging the gap between Americans and Russians. Thanks to all the positive attention we got, from concertgoers, from the media, and from the various officials in the Consulate world, both American and Russian, it seems it was a successful effort. I felt a serious responsibility, representing America to such a large number of Russians, and representing bluegrass music as well. The main Jamboree event we played was in the town center of a sizable city amid ancient buildings. Vologda is in a farming area, famous for butter, ice cream, linen, and lace (not bad!). The people there are used to long winters, hard work, and quite a lot of loss. They can be high spirited, and really believe in festivities, and in their kids. So we got some good tastes of those aspects, and enjoyed three very elaborate "official" type meals with Russian and Consul hosts. A second performance took place at a historical museum comparable to Williamsburg.
There has been some interest in bluegrass and country music in Russia for some years. Best known was the group Bering Strait, which I think disbanded a few years ago -- and tried to break in to Nashville. The band was the subject of a documentary film that can be viewed online.

VSEC is pleased to be one of the few referral centers in Pennsylvania to have a board certified anesthesiologist on staff.
Our anesthesia and pain management service is staffed by a board-certified veterinary anesthesiologist who is a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Anesthesia and Analgesia (ACVAA).p dir="ltr">Only Diplomates of the ACVAA have completed a 3-year residency in anesthesiology and passed a series of national qualifying examinations. No other veterinarians have received as much rigorous and complete training and testing in the field of veterinary anesthesia and analgesia.
The goal of the anesthesia service at the Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Center is to provide the highest level of care for dogs and cats undergoing anesthesia for various procedures.
Our anesthesiologists here at VSEC work with our other specialists throughout the hospital to provide anesthetic protocols and peri-anesthetic management plans for patients that require general anesthesia during their procedures. The anesthesiologists oversee the nurses that administer anesthesia to your pet and assist them with the management of your pet's anesthetic episode.
When you have an appointment with one of VSEC's specialists and your pet requires anesthesia, you will typically be asked to fast your pet for 12 hours prior to an initial consultation so that any blood work or procedures can be performed without delay. If you have any concerns about the safety of fasting your pet, please mention this to the Client Services Representatives (CSR's) and they will discuss your concerns with a nurse or doctor.
After an initial consultation, the doctor will obtain a thorough history and evaluation by performing a physical exam and reviewing any referral information that your family veterinarian has supplied. In some cases, outpatient diagnostic testing may be recommended. In other cases, hospitalization for further testing and supportive care may be recommended. All of the information gathered about your pet will be passed on to our anesthesiologist and nurses performing anesthesia on your pet so that the best anesthetic protocol and management plans can be created to meet your individual pet's needs.
Your VSEC specialist who will be performing the procedure, will discuss your pet's case with you, give an estimate of the costs and work diligently to create a diagnostic and treatment plan that meets your pet's needs. We take pride in being thorough without being wasteful or extravagant. Our doctors will also be in constant communication with your primary veterinarian, updating him or her on your pet's status.

Today's lunch was rice and roti free. I had left over king mackerel fish curry. I cooked simple saute with broccoli, green beans and Kale. Also made raita with Kumato Tomato. This is first time I tasted Kumato which I got last week from Aldi's store. King mackerel fish curry was made with onion+Tomatillo base, use of Tomatillo makes curry sour and brings nice thick and smooth gravy texture due to its pectin content. Lunch combination was very satisfying, I didn't miss rice or roti. I am briefly explaining saute and Raita recipes which are cooked in a very simple manner.
How to prepare Broccoli, Green beans and Kale Saute
Prepping the Veggies: Slice 10-12 green beans into 1-inch long diagonal shape, take 4-5 broccoli florets, slice each floret lengthwise into 3 pieces, i have used broccoli florets with almost 2 inch long stems. Put sliced broccoli florets and green beans in the microwave safe bowl filled with water, cook for 4-5 minutes, drain the water and keep aside. Slice 3-4 garlic cloves lengthwise, finely chop one green chili. Separate Kale greens from stem, thinly slice stem and chop the leaf.
Cooking saute: Heat 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil in a small saute pan. Add sliced garlic and green chili, saute for one minute. Add sliced kale stem, continue to saute for another one minute. Sprinkle a pinch of asafoetida (hing) and turmeric powder, stir for 25 seconds, Now add chopped kale leaf, saute for about 3 minutes by adding 2 tbsp water, once water evaporates, add pre-boiled and drained broccoli and beans. Stir to mix all well, sprinkle one generous pinch of salt. Increase heat to medium high, saute for one minute then put off the gas. Drizzle half teaspoon extra virgin olive oil before serving. (serves one generous portion.)
Kumato Tomato raita in Yogurt.
Cut one Kumato tomato into 4 pieces, remove seeds, cut into 1 cm chunks. Whisk 1/4 cup whole milk yogurt, add one pinch of salt and 1 tbsp finely sliced mint leaves. Mix well, garnish with more mint leaves before serving.
Kumato tomato, Kale leaf, Broccoli, Green beans, green chili,garlic.

New Delhi[India]Mar 2(ANI): The Indo-Tibetan Border Police(ITBP) band gave a musical performance at the Siri Fort auditorium in New Delhi yesterday. This was the first such concert by the ITBP band.
Minister of Home (State) Kiren Rijuju was the chief guest for the evening.
Led by conductor Major Nazir Hussain VSM, the band entertained those present with a whole range of musical numbers.
From patriotic songs to old Hindi film songs and some western tunes, all in all 16 tunes of martial music were presented by the Band.
Greeting the band after the concert Kiren Rijuju said "he had had a very busy day today, but after attending the concert he said that he is feeling refreshed again".
He further said that he felt very happy and proud to be part of this concert and added that such ITBP concerts should be taken to other parts of the country.
The Minister complimented the band for the rendition of the patriotic song "Hum Sarhad ke Sainani", which he said showed the love and commitment of the ITBP jawans for their motherland.
"He further added that all the different Central Police Forces should organise such concerts around the country".
He concluded by greeting the ITBP Director General RK Pachanada for winning the trophy for 'best marching contingent' at this years' Republic Day parade.(ANI)


text: I just loaded up one of my old projects and noticed it runs more slowly than other adventures. My assumption is that it's because of the amount of events in the game being run immediately for one turn and repeating, of which there are safely more than 60. Is there a way to re-write these without getting rid of the effects they would create (triggered tasks) that might speed up the gameplay? I was thinking of maybe collapsing these events into a single "Run every turn" event which would be sectioned up into regions and execute the tasks, but I think that would be re-creating the same problem.

It seems that the government is getting cold feet over their planned changes to anti-discrimination law. Pressure is building for the Bill to be quietly dropped.
UPDATE: The Bill has been dropped.
The consolidated Human Rights and Anti-discrimination Bill would make anti-discrimination laws more effective and more accessible for disadvantaged and marginalised people in Australia, including
- people with disability,
- culturally and linguistically diverse communities,
- LGBTI communities,
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples,
- women
- older people
The Senate Standing Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs recommended that the scope of the Bill be expanded to explicitly cover
- intersex people,
- people who have experienced domestic violence and
- people with irrelevant criminal records
The Committee also recommended the removal of controversial sections in the Bill including
- 19(2)(b) which included the test of 'offend or insult'
- exceptions allowing religious organisations to discriminate against individuals in the provision of services
BUT . . . . there is a strong likelihood that the Human Rights and Anti-Discrimination Bill will not be introduced, let alone passed, before the election. The need to show politicians how important the Bill is to all of us is absolutely critical this week.

The Hospitality of a Comte
|Chateau de Bouceel
I felt a jolt of excitement as soon as I turned down the long, tree-lined drive and again when I gazed upon the impressive chateau with the steeply-sloped mansard roof, curved pediment, and tall windows. The neatly clipped lawn, white painted footbridge spanning the pond, and the charming outbuildings stirred my writer's imagination, but it was what I discovered inside Château de Boucéel that made a lasting impression on my romantic soul.
I had barely stepped onto the gravel drive when the front door opened and a tall, nattily dressed man with aquiline features rushed out to help me with my bags.
He identified himself as the Comte de Roquefeuil and welcomed me to his home.
He ushered me inside the chateau and then took me on a tour of his home, proudly pointing out special antique pieces (including a framed letter from the family of Marie Antoinette and a Louis XV homme debout). Then he showed me to the my bedroom, a opulent room with french doors, paneled walls, a parquet floor, fireplace, and a luxurious bed set into an alcove with ceiling to floor drapes.
Later, I met the Comte in the library. I sat close to a crackling fire and peppered my gracious host with questions about the history of his family and their chateau. He patiently explained that his family had been the owners of the estate for hundreds of years and that it had survived revolutions, wars, and natural disasters.
He admitted that being the heir to such an estate was a duty and a privilege; that he would do everything in his power to manage and protect the chateau and its historic outbuildings so that future generations could visit it.
I couldn't help but admire his noble cause, his willingness to sacrifice to preserve his ancestral home.

Dear los animales:
I love TDT. And I need to pass the hat.
Been a few years since I've done this, but you might have noticed a few weeks back site on involuntary hiatus for a few days – still not out of the hole. (maybe you noticed no wigglies click-thrus, gif hosting bill still has to wait … ).
The site is absolutely more productive when I can afford morning coffee – so please when you bust out your credit card (PayPal, 100% secure) think of it as buying me a brew, or a Van Hagar cassette, or a shitty bicycle … your support has already saved TDT before, even a little bit helps a shit ton.
I could give you war stories about ups/downs of life, but I think y'all would prefer ass. Plus a work schedule change will have more me with more day time to devote to the Tap.
Thank you.

Get to know the artists behind the 'Anything and Everything' Exhibition!
The name of this show is not to be taken lightly. Jacob Mallet and Lane Derbyshire are interesting guys, and their art speaks volumes of how young artists don't necessarily need to feel unreachable. When I talked to them for this little piece, I can assure you they were the coolest interviewees I have had in a while. Passionate about art, down to Earth and willing...Read MoreRead More

Wait, what month is it? Oh yeah, April. Honestly, January and February were filled with some really… mentionable releases. Whether they were really good or really bad, almost every song on this list had to be mentioned for one reason or another. I couldn't pass up the opportunity and let 2014's start K-pop music fly by! Enjoy the joint January and February edition of The K-pop Round Up!
ace of angels
Sexy, Sleazy, or… Something Else?
Ever since the turn of the year, there has been an uproar among the K-pop net-fandom(as there always is). A plethora of girl groups have deemed it fit to comeback with overly suggestive and sexual manifestations. Skin-tight black outfits are now the trend, my friend. But, the question(s) here is(are), what's so wrong about it? If it's just a trend, is the internet just being overly sensitive about it or is there really a problem here?
The K-pop Round Up: October 2012
After a glorious presidential win of Obama, I'm a frickin' happy camper. But it's time to get back to business on this 5-day weekend. October was a month filled with those we haven't heard from for a little while. It's time to cook us up some kimchi and hope it doesn't burn. Let's start The K-pop Round Up October 2012 edition!

MC encodes and plays all well-known media formats. Effective utilities include Media Server for streaming music and photos to remote PCs. Media Center is much more than a world class player. It's also a Media Network, a whole property music, film, Television, and photo resolution.
Modifications in v19..38 (11/9/2013):
- Fixed: The installer would often register the 64-bit shell extensions, major to situations where shell extensions could show in Explorer when the choice was off in MC (manually turn on, OK out of options, then turn off, and OK out of possibilities to fix).
- Fixed: The custom library backup path validation could unnecessarily produce the default folder.
- Changed: Rewrote numerous core MMX image manipulation routines in SSE (most about 2x more quickly and now work cross platform).
- Fixed: The visual mouse over state for an edit handle would not often be honored effectively.
- Changed: Adaptive Volume in 'Peak Level Normalize' mode normalizes on a per-track basis when Volume Leveling is off and on a per-playlist basis when Volume Leveling is on.
- Fixed: WPD camera acquisition could fail in the final couple of builds due to the internal COM adjustments.
- Changed: MC has a white list of device names that support program volume whilst bitstreaming, and no longer disables the method volume slider when playing to these devices (if you have a device like this, please give specifics).
- Fixed: Audio device names with pipes or backslashes in them could result in difficulties in Choices > Audio.
- Changed: Added experimental support for ASIO DSD output to devices
that do not specify a DSD buffer format like Teac, maybe other people
(feedback appreciated).
- Fixed: If auto-import got canceled although analyzing audio, it would record it as an error and not attempt once again for a year.
- Fixed: Column auto-sizing was not operating in some locations.
- Fixed: The projection aspect ratio was inconsistent when switching in between some 3d visualizations.

My (Foolish) Hearts
It is, perhaps, telling that my two favorite holidays are a) non-religious and b) associated with the acquisition of large amounts of candy. I love the autumnal, supernatural-tinged crispness of Halloween, and I adore Valentine's Day's pink, and red, and sparkles, and lace, and…hearts. I could live forever without the mushy sentiments. When I was single the romantic aspects of the holiday left me anguished, desperate and anxious for the relief that came on the 15th of February. Now that I am old and married, I am largely of the opinion that if you express your love only (or even mainly) because of Hallmark, you have some work to do on the home front. It is not the sentiment, but the trappings that "send" me.
Although real, anatomical hearts are not particularly prepossessing as objects, they are beautiful in their own way. It would be hard to live without one. What I love, though, is the shape as old as the ice age, a shape that probably came from the combining of an ancient symbol for fire and that of the astrological sign Aries. It is, to my eyes, a perfect shape. It combines gentle curves for those who like curves, and they suggest other things that are rounded, erotic, comforting and otherwise love-worthy. For those who prefer straight lines and pointy things, there is everything below the curves, all straight lines and an exquisite point. Pentagrams are nifty, but they have nary a curve if the scribe is sober. The infinity symbol has two lovely, looping curves but what if one needs the crunchy edginess of a line or an acute angle?
2015 Valentine's Day Gift Guide
While we don't agree on the validity of this holiday, we still wouldn't refuse any of these items it they showed up on our doorstep. Love should be celebrated and we don't mind being spoiled.:)

Bleeding Heart Chocolate Chip Bars
I have two boys. At the ages of eleven and one that's moments away from turning thirteen, it's getting harder and harder to impress them. Or maybe it's better to say, it's getting harder and harder to do things together they think are cool.
Take for instance baking, when they were little pulling out the sprinkles got them excited about spending time in the kitchen. Now, it's getting challenging to keep their attention when it comes to helping. So I asked them to hang out and help me make these chocolate chip bars. Big yawn. Then I told them, how about we make chocolate chip bars with chocolate hearts that bleed red blood right on top? Magically, I had their attention. Boys. Of course they would think a bleeding heart is the perfect Valentine's Day treat!
These little hearts are Junior Mints made especially for Valentine's Day. Their insides are either red or white. The colors are mixed in a package so you do not get all reds in one box. I explained to the boys I could only get maybe half of them to bleed. The white ones also bleed, you just can't see them when they do.
A Classic, Simple Home-Cooked Dinner for Valentine's Day
There's no other holiday like Valentine's Day when lovers are given the chance to express their affection in many ways, be it something as simple as flowers or as fancy as a restaurant dinner. Here in New York City and there are many Valentine's Day dinner specials soon to be available. There is always an opportunity for couples to dine out and have a great, albeit, expensive time. But a private dinner at home can be just as special and a lot less pricey. I don't think there is anything more romantic than cooking for your other half. A meal that's made with love has so much more meaning than anything a restaurant could offer.
I have a simple dinner in mind. This entrée is simple and easy, using basic cooking techniques, so you don't have to spend too much time at the stove. It's uncomplicated, unfussy, hearty, and familiar in flavors: it's steak, potatoes, and spinach. These petite filet mignon make an elegant dinner for two and, with the side dishes included, come in well under 20 dollars, 30 if you include a good bottle of red wine. Celebrate your Valentine with this easy and affordable meal.
Red Velvet Valentine Cupcakes
Red Velvet is popular around Christmas but in the south you will usually find it served all year long. The bright red cake and white creamy frosting make it perfect for Valentine's Day.
Americans spend around $655 million each Valentine's Day on candy, making it the fourth biggest holiday of the year for confectionery purchases, after Halloween, Christmas and Easter. But why buy candy when it's so easy to bake up a batch up red velvet cupcakes.
This is a pretty fool proof recipe and they are best frosted with Easy Vanilla Buttercream. I like to use a large start tip to pipe the frosting on, but feel free to keep simple and use a frosting spatula. Rustic techniques guarantee your Valentine will know it's homemade.
For Valentine's Day dessert, try Pomme d'Amour
From the LA Times
So often when people plan Valentine's Day dinners, they want to finish with a big, elaborate dessert. I prefer to go in a different direction. To me, nothing expresses love better than a simple dish that is taken to a new level because you've taken extra care in its making.
A perfect example is the very simple custard tart called Pomme d'Amour that is made by Knead Patisserie in San Francisco. Technically, I suppose this should be called a croustade d'oeuf, since it's nothing more than a custard baked in a crust, but I like Knead's version enough to call it by its name.
There are only two elements — the crust and the pastry cream filling — but by making each as good as it can be, you wind up with a dish that, like all perfect pairings, is greater than the sum of its parts.
There are no special tools involved and it doesn't call for any exotic ingredients. Instead, what makes this dessert special is taking the appropriate care with each step.
Ooey Gooey Brownies for Lovers
If you love decadence in your dessert...THESE BROWNIES will do the trick.
Since Valentine's Day is right around the corner, it's time to make a meal plan that says "love" through food. I always think Valentine's dessert should be a little over the top. These definitely fit the bill. Just look at them.
I refrained from adding nuts because my kids don't like them in brownies but if I made them for myself, walnuts be in there too.
My inspiration for these was a half a jar of caramel I found in the fridge. It needed a new life.
What could be better than a warm, gooey brownie......maybe winning the lotto, but this is more of a sure thing!
I know you will enjoy these!
Think Pink
On this February afternoon two friends are catching up over blended pink drinks. We're in Boston where winter lasts well into April. There is no snow today and the sun is shining but it's cold. We're talking about healthy things that taste good and are easy to make.
We've been working kitchens together longer than we can remember. It started in 4th floor walk-ups across the hall from each other where dinner for seven meant peas, corn and salad with home-made chili, spaghetti with broccoli and garlic bread. We moved on to sharing secrets for perfect matzo balls (don't potchke), cheese plates at the Wine School, salad dressing, brining turkeys and what to serve at the Christmas block party.
Like our hair, our tastes have changed. We nix meat and dairy and drink more red wine. Our mid-day favors drinks whipped in a blender. When I found it last spring, the blender hadn't been used since the last time I crushed ice. That's when I learned that vegetables can be imbibed.
Love Begins in Winter
There's nothing more cozy than cuddling up on the sofa with a book and a box of chocolates on a chilly Winter day. And it seems I'm not alone in my love of pairing chocolates with a good read. For Valentine's Day this year one of my favorite chocolatiers Richart has combined a big box of chocolates with a book of short stories, from an award-winning writer Simon Von Booy. Even better, there are twelve specific chocolates that pair with passages from the book! The gift is called Love begins in Winter ($75), after the name of the book.
I haven't experienced any of the lovely pairings yet, but I spoke with Benjamin Auzimour in charge of Richart in North America, and he shared one of his favorites:
"Here's an extract that I like, about happiness, to be read while tasting a Petit Richart filled with salted butter caramel coulis, which will enhance the warmth of the feelings created by the scene.
Seared Scallops Over Celeriac Pancakes with Champagne Beurre Blanc
Valentine's Day is just a day away and that means romantic dinners for two are in order. But it's one of the worst times to get a restaurant reservation, especially if you're making it at the last minute. So why not cook an elegant restaurant style dinner at home? You'll save yourself some anxiety and some money at the same time. With just a little romantic planning you can put together a great meal worthy of any five star chef.
One of the most elegant meals that come to mind when I think of fine dining is a plate of perfectly seared scallops. It always looks appealing and it's surprisingly easy to prepare. It's what you serve with the scallops that makes the dish even more special. A delicious sauce and a special side can elevate a plate of scallops to new heights. This meal may look more complicated than it is, but it's very manageable to make.
Searing the scallops is the easiest part of this recipe and it only takes minutes. You'll want to have the pancakes and the butter sauce prepared a few minutes beforehand. If you know how to fry hash browns or latkes then you won't find these celeriac pancakes difficult to make at all. The beurre blanc just needs some elbow grease to make, but if you know how to whisk quickly, then you're all set. Enjoy this dinner for two with your special someone.

Crowhurst – Seven Seconds To Live (Static Reason / Placenta)
Crowhurst is Jay Gambit's project that has a continually revolving cast and he's put out a ton of work, like Aidan Baker heights of prolific. Death Van, if you can look past that goofy cover art, is easily his best work to date and has someone guesting on almost every track. He magnificently weaves between blissful noise and noisy bliss, although I'm more inclined to lean towards the blissful noise. This is some supreme harshness, boiling power electronics mixed with monolithic drone, caustic industrial shredding, and lurking beneath it all, bittersweet melodies full of gloom & heartache. So much going on here and it's all beautifully hellish and fucking relentless, songs that are nonstop from start to end, each burning its own hole in your skull, bulldozing you with crumbling walls of static & deep bone rattling bass, and somehow putting the most euphoric twist on it like the warmth in the final seconds of your life. This record is 100% awesome, and if you've listened to Crowhurst before and were like, "yeah, that was cool" but haven't kept up with his output, this is the one to come back to. And if you're altogether new to this dude, now's the fucking time to get in on this. Vinyl & tape versions are available (the tapes come packaged in body bags) but you gotta make it happen over here.

Paper done and delivered, trains, flights hotel booked. Super busily trying to get stuff sorted before I go. Working on presentation. Thinking of doing it in Motion to play with that tool.
Never used it, some experience of AE but wanting to deliver some teaching in Motion anyways so it'll be a good opportunity. Aiming to get something done over the next week. Already done a Keynote pres that i'll be converting to ppt so if the Motion I create is shit/doesn't happen then I'll already have one done. Thinking of taking my computer which I don't normally do. Not seen the presentation schedule yet but if i'm later on not earlier on, then I'll almost certainly take it so I can work on the presentation in the evenings, around the conference dinners, sightseeing etc or just to have it and play from my machine. I've a Henry Miller quote that I want to record as audio to play in also alongside mostly text and taking my machine will ensure that it all works. In Avanca last year for the avanca cinema film festival/conference (check it out and go if possible.) I spent ages making sure my videos were going to play properly only to have a machine that didnt deal with video codecs so the edited intro video that i'd worked on didn't work as I only had the opp to test it literally a few seconds before the presentation. I had to improvise.

Welcome to my little cycling blog. This site inspired and then was largely overtaken by my other cycling project, BRENTACOL. Go there to find out about just about any hill in the Rhode Island area, and many hills beyond. I still use this blog to write race or hill climb reports, keep track of my training, and generally muse about all things related to climbing hills on a bike.
One thought on "About"
I'm not sure how many Europe-based people are following this, or even whether the country from which I am writing this message (England / UK) is in Europe, but I find it odd to see planned rides in Austria and the Dolomites described in terms of feet (altitude) and miles (distance). Would it not be more appropriate to use the metric system to describe routes in this part of the world?

Unity Towards Common Energy Goal for Future Generation
Everybody talks about the renewable, clean and green energy for future as alternate to present fossil energy resources…..this sounds good and really appreciable thoughts.
There are many options known to us like solar, wind, nuclear, hydro, biomass, etc which could be explored further or are being explored at the moment. Though, the focus towards goal is different for each country and implements steps suitable to its own boundary and political compulsions.
We should accept the fact that the natural energy resources beneath the Earth are not renewable and can't be created in a manufacturing factory. As we know that the major portion of energy resources (basically fossil fuels and natural gases) are available in the Middle East and Gulf countries that are governing and regulating the energy markets around the world.
Now, the big question is how long will it sustain and satisfy the energy needs of humanity? Probably, based on the available data of energy resources we can easily calculate the approximate lifetime for these resources.
The World Needs An Unity for Renewable Energy
Do we really think that there should be an extraordinary efforts to overcome the expected energy crisis in future?
I think instead of spending money on defense equipment, it is important and necessity to invest for the future energy resources. It's a paramount to come closer beyond the boundary of countries; think and act as a one entity to achieve the common goal of sustainable energy sources for the future generation.
This approach has many advantages like there will be a cost reduction in research and development activities due to common focus and use of minimum infrastructure and resources, the creation of positive investment climate as more and more people will join the movement and contribute from their heart instead of mind.
I think when people join any movement for common cause and start delivering the new ideas and thoughts; we could see an ocean of positive energy from them and results in improved self confidence among them. As per one study, we are spending more energy than we explore due to various factors based known to us. One of the reasons could be lack of awareness about current stock of energy resources or responsibility towards the society. One has to think twice before unwarranted use of precious energy resources.
I think people make and run the governments rather the president or prime minister runs the country. When each person starts contributing and conserving energy resources then no task is impossible or unbelievable in the world. We need to focus and act for a common goal of future energy resources. People power is stronger than the energy power!
The innovations and new ideas derived from the people must be recognized and suitably awarded. This will encourage them to think for further development in the renewable energy resources. Once, we achieve of common goal and start implementing the ideas into action; we would see the world without energy crisis for sure!!!

from Wikipedia:
Gyotaku (Japanese ??, from gyo "fish" + taku "rubbing") is the traditional method of Japanese fish printing, dating from the mid-1800s. This form of nature printing may have been used by fishermen to record their catches, but has also become an artform on its own. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyotaku
Batik is a technique of manual wax-resist dyeing applied to whole cloth, or cloth made using this technique. Batik is made either by drawing dots and lines of the resist with a spouted tool called a canting also spelled tjanting), or by printing the resist with a copper stamp called a cap also spelled tjap). The applied wax resists dyes and therefore allows the artisan to color selectively by soaking the cloth in one color, removing the wax with boiling water, and repeating if multiple colors are desired. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batik

This month I decided it was time for me to explore one of my favorite styles of ambient music… "SPACE MUSIC." Now I know that my "Space Traveler Series" touches on the spacey side of ambient music, however, those episodes are still very much tempo driven. This month's downtempo podcast is comprised of music all but devoid of true tempo. The songs are much more freeform for the most part, only really driving tempos using arpeggiators or rhythmic sound. Space Music creates massive soundcapes that invoke mental imagery of far away worlds, stars, and nebulae.
I have been a fan of Space Music since I was a child. I think the first time I ever heard this style of music was during a car ride home from the beach while listening to "Hearts of Space" on NPR… I was fascinated with it. I have tinkered with my own space music throughout the years and decided to include an original, improvisational piece of music that I created and recorded on the fly for this podcast. Here is a link to download my song free of charge… Download Here.
While I am certainly an amateur at producing this wonderful music, I must say that it is an amazing experience to sit down to a keyboard and create it on the fly. Surrounded by LED's, LCD's, blinky lights, sliders, knobs… it almost feels as if you are piloting your own spacecraft through a universe of sound that you are creating with your own creative mind. I have a real appreciation for just how complicated it is to control so many timbers, morphing between sounds, tempos (or lack thereof,) keys… worlds… all the while keeping it all together, in a freeform flow of consciousness. Composers like Serrie, Gulan, Brennan, etc are true masters of this craft.
I invite you to put on a pair of headphones, turn off the lights, lay down, hit play… and drift away in to a wonderful universe of sound. Don't worry, you will be back home in a little over 80 minutes. 😉
Here is this month's tracklist…
01. Altus– For All Time
02. Kendall Station– Tether
03. Ulrich Schnauss– In Between the Years
04. Andrew Lahiff– Static Neon Flow
05. Gulan– The Black Hole
06. Jonn Serrie– Stratos
07. Chad Helenthal– Ambient Space Unknown
08. Thom Brennan– Raingardens

Notes: At the Joel Palmer House, Jack Czarnecki serves this dish topped with sliced white truffles. Oyster sauce is sold in well-stocked supermarkets and in Asian grocery stores.
How to Make It
In a 5- to 6-quart pan over high heat, bring 3 to 4 quarts water to a boil. Add noodles, return to a boil, and cook, stirring occasionally, until barely tender to bite, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and pour into a large serving bowl.
Meanwhile, rinse beef and pat dry. Cut meat across the grain into 1/8-inch-thick slices.
Pour 1 tablespoon olive oil into a 12-inch frying pan or 14-inch wok over medium-high heat; when hot, add beef and stir until browned on the edges but still pink in the center (cut to test), 2 to 3 minutes. Pour into another bowl.
Add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to pan; when hot, add onion and garlic and stir until onion is limp, 3 to 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and stir often until beginning to brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
Add wine, cognac, and oyster sauce to mushroom mixture. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat and simmer to blend flavors, about 5 minutes.
Add cream and return to a simmer. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with 1 tablespoon cold water until smooth. Add to mushroom mixture and stir until it boils and thickens, about 2 minutes.
Add sour cream and beef with any accumulated juices to pan and stir just until heated through, about 1 minute. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Pour beef Stroganoff over hot noodles. Sprinkle with parsley if desired.
Cleaning mushrooms: Trim off tough or discolored bottoms of mushroom stems and any bruised spots or blemishes. (For shiitakes and oysters, remove the entire fibrous stem.) For firm mushrooms such as portabellas, wipe dirt off with a damp cloth or place in a colander, rinse thoroughly under cool running water, and pat dry with towels. For delicate mushrooms that have lots of places for dirt to hide, such as chanterelles and hedgehogs, submerge in a bowl of cool water and gently agitate with you hands to loose any particles. Drain, rinse carefully under running water, and gently pat dry with a towel.

Let me preface these reviews by saying that there was no way, no way at all that I was skipping these books. No matter how apprehensive I was, no matter whether or not I was already a fan of the authors, or if I raised my eyebrow real high at Garcia writing Mulder and Maberry writing Scully, because THIS IS THE X-FILES. I'll admit, these books were hard to review because the nostalgia and fandom is so strong…this is probably my strongest fandom connection because MULDER + SCULLY for LIFE. I mean, the characters…I digress. That being said, I tried to look at these more for the story and less from what I expected Scully and Mulder to be like as teens. There has been a ton of negative commentary-parts that fans say the authors are reaching and make zero sense. As an avid X-Files fan, I can see that, but these interpretations are not entirely off base…especially when it comes to Scully. It's difficult when the character presence is so strong as adults, you come to expect very specific details about their lives as teens, what you assume they were like and why they became who they did. It's hard to shake those preconceived ideas off, and those who are totally stuck in that place might be disappointed by what they find. If you're a fan, you absolutely should read these and put them on your shelf next to your Mulder and Scully Funko Pops. I know I will.
How did Fox Mulder become a believer? How did Dana Scully become a skeptic? The X-Files Origins has the answers in this young adult origin story.
The X-Files Origins: Devil's Advocate will explore the teen years of Dana Scully, the beloved character depicted in the cult-favorite TV show The X-Files. Her story is set in the spring of 1979, when serial murder, the occult, and government conspiracy were highlighted in the news.
The book will follow Scully as she experiences life-changing events that set her on the path to becoming an FBI agent.
3/5 Stars
Scully, Scully, Scully. I was so disappointed in her character, but maybe not for the reasons you'd think. A lot of the criticism this book has faced from readers is because of Scully's sixth sense. Which, if you're looking at the Scully in the future, you're probably thinking that Scully worships at the altar of science and this is ridiculous. But if you've experienced all of the lovely X-Files series, you'll recall that Scully had more than one incident where she sees ghosts and has premonition-style visions, so it's not that far off base and one of her biggest character conflicts has always been her faith and the paranormal. Mulder directly calls her out on the fact that she can so willingly believe in God, but something like aliens is too out there. It's in her story arc.
Mini rant aside, Scully here is super young. She has no experience with boys, crushes, any responsiblity really. While she's smart and reclusive, her forays into mysticism are more meditative than anything. Scully here looks up to her older sister. She's a tag along that just goes wherever her sister takes her. THAT is what bothered me. That headstrong, take charge girl, the one who thinks, who studies, who calculates before coming to conclusions-that girl was absent (or barely visible). So many times Scully just hops right into danger and makes BOLD leaps, piecing things together without second guessing. That is NOT the Scully we know. It's hard to talk about Scully in her youth without comparing her to who she is in the future. Here Scully isn't really likable, she's more wishy-washy and doesn't have the strongest voice. This would have been okay, because she's so young and naive, but she doesn't really learn. Sure she feels remorse for her actions, but I didn't see much growth.
The plot is definitely an X-File, not your typical murder-mystery. There's a sinister, supernatural element that is perplexing, confusing, and all sorts of crazy. It will keep you on your toes and uncertain of what will happen. It's a chaotic mess, but the kind that pushes you to seek answers and wonder what the endgame is. Plus the idea itself-the whole premise for the villain is insanely clever and wickedly evil. There's so much more than meets the eye.
Pacing was so-so, but picks up a lot towards the end.
Scully's love interest. I liked him. He seemed like a good fit. Smart, resourceful, protective, but also stubborn. Their interactions were awkward and bashful. So cute. There's no intense attraction like is common in a lot of YA right now. It's more uncertainty, confusion, and sudden feelings. Curiosity. I appreciated the change of pace.
The killer and the government agents.YES. They are done so well. You see the corruption, the fear, the manipulation. They were some of my favorite people in the book. They were complex and vicious and the darkness!!! ❤

4/5 Stars
I feel bizarre saying this but Mulder is pretty freaking hot. He's awkward and nerdy and has no idea what he's doing with his life. He's kind of just going with it until he's hit with this murder that he feels is connected to his sister's disappearance and the obsession is born. There's this blend of angst and intelligence. Of yearning after his pretty, Star Wars obsessed best friend, trying to connect with his father, the disappointment that comes with that neglect, and learning what he's passionate about. This is truly the birth of his interest in catching killers and paranormal. It felt right. It made sense. I LOVE him.
Secondary characters. You guys, every character is so alive. They're developed, intriguing, totally compelling. You want to know them. I adored Phoebe. She's witty, intelligent, gorgeous, she doesn't care what anyone thinks about her, calls people out on their fears, and is just an all around awesome character. And she's totally nerdy. She reads textbooks, knows complex mathematics, physics, etc. She's one fierce girl who somehow feels relatable. Gimble. Yes. Just yes. He's interesting, a total dork, and a basic ode to the time period. I loved his lines and enthusiasm. He's the perfect sidekick. Gimble's father!!! It's weird, but I became so invested in Gimble's father's conspiracy theories and the way his mind worked. Fascinating. You can see where Mulder got his methods from. I got a nostalgic, this feels so familiar vibe. The government agents. Some of their scenes were full of acerbic wit and heavy sarcasm.
The scenes of the crimes were intricate, graphic without going too dark, and left enough mystery to keep me guessing and trying to fill in the blanks. Towards the end, the suspense was high. I was on edge and sickened.
My biggest issue with the book was not Garcia's portrayal of Mulder, but the way the mystery fit together. There were too many pieces that slid into place in a sort of what are the odds way. It was too simple. Too coincidental and we all know there are no coincidences.
While I wasn't a fan of the romantic elements, they were more of a shrug to me, I was glad that Mulder had someone to nurture and encourage him. Phoebe being there for him is what mattered, the romance was secondary, despite Mulder's frisky teenaged hormones.
Enjoy your trip down memory lane,
