Good Evening!!
I hope everyone had a terrific Easter weekend! I was supposed to have the whole family over for Easter yesterday but when I woke up Sunday morning I was pretty sure that wasn't going to happen. I was sick. Fever, stuffy and runny nose. Sore throat, headache. Yep, I was most definitely sick. This was going to be a major problem for the rest of the family as I was making the majority of the food due to the diabetics and celiac members. I knew no one else would have the makings for Easter dinner in their cupboards. Guilt was eating away at me. Maybe I should just drug myself up and not tell them I was sick. No, that wouldn't work, then I'd feel guilty when everyone else got sick. My first call was to my mom. I'm sick mom. She said oh, that's not good. What are you going to do? Well gee, that's why I'm calling. Do I cancel or give people the option of coming anyway? After a bit of discussion, it was decided I should call my younger sister and see what she said. She answered the phone and I said I'm sick. She responded with, we won't be there then. I can't blame her, her kids are healthy for the first time since winter started. Next I called my brother. His wife answered. I told her I was sick but they were still welcome to come if they wanted, I'd wear a mask. She hemmed and hawed and finally said, I'll call you back. She called back and said, no one wants to come. Called my older sister after that. She was worried about the 2 gluten free peanut butter pies she had made. How were they going to eat both of them? No problem, Abby will come pick one up and she'll do it with a smile on her face because she loves loves loves peanut butter pie. Big sis declined to come also. I called my mom back. No one is coming I told her. Well, your father and I don't need to get sick so we aren't coming either. Good lord, you would think I had the plague! So now I had a marinated pork roast and a large ham, potato casserole, double batch of oreo fluff, and more strawberries than I could eat in a month because I had planned strawberry shortcake for dessert. Big sis dropped the pie off and I pawned a large bag of strawberries off on her. Dan took the pork roast over to little sis and she cooked it for mom and dad and big sis' family. Brother and family did their own thing. So I guess it turned out okay for everyone but this makes 3 holidays in a row that we have been unable to get together. Kind of strange for us.
In the process of getting ready for the Easter that wasn't, I've been
nagging encouraging Dan to get the new cherry trim up in the library so I could re-hang the drapes and get them off the floor. He finished this task at about 10:00p.m. Saturday night. I took pics this morning so I could share the new paint color with you all.
I haven't decided whether I will change the drapes at this point. Most likely after getting the quotes today for a new garage door, I will be keeping them.
I started a new project last week. Erica Michaels Papillon. 40 count gauze. Teeny tiny continental stitches. I'm not gonna lie. This is hard!! And it doesn't photograph well at all but here is what I have done so far.
I saw this stitched up at Market and it is gorgeous when done and there is a definite learning curve to it! It's getting easier now but there was a lot of cursing at first!
Amy went to Lincoln today to shadow a journalism student and sit in on a class. She said she learned a lot and it was worth the trip. Dan left for Arizona today. His parents are ready to come home and we didn't think his dad should be driving and his mom didn't want to so he will be on the road driving them home all week. Abby is on her last week of the Council Bluffs/Mercy Hospital rotation and then she will change to Immanual Hospital in Omaha. Adam is busy with work and his diabetic class. He's doing pretty good with following his meal plan. He's still cranky though. Can't say as I blame him. I'd be cranky too and it's nothing compared to how Abby was when she was diagnosed with Celiacs.
Well, my fever is up so I need to go take some meds and then I'm going to go plop my behind in my chair.
Have a great evening, thanks for all the comments on retreat. We really had a great time!
Take care!

Hey, Look! A New Song!
Seriously, this one is brand new. I wrote it during the last two weeks. Since it's a Valentine's Day song, I wanted to get it posted today, so I only had time enough to whip up a dry, bare-bones "demo" mix. As usual, it's published under a Creative Commons license, and I've added it to my music page and my lyrics page (separate from my ever pending album…my still pending album…yeah, I know).
Anyway, I'm pretty proud of it. Here it is! Enjoy! (Oh, and hint: it's not really about Valentine's Day.)
I'm so sorry.
I mean it. I got a tremendously time-consuming job about two years ago (quite suddenly, in fact) and decided to put my entire life on the backburner for a few weeks. The weeks turned into years, and the years turned into eons, and before I knew it, I had shrunk away indefinitely into a placid, meaningless hermitude.
So what? Shakespeare made them up all the time, and everyone just loves him. Shut it.
Anyway, I swear I'm back now, and this time for good, though I suppose I should mention that I do still have the aforementioned job and thus will not have the time to post random filler garbage twice a week. I will post when I actually have something to post, but rest assured, such circumstances will only increase in frequency in the near future. I have a good few bits of news up my sleeve already (and that includes new songs!), so stay tuned, chums.
Oh, I've made a few changes to the music page. Most notably, I've begun to greedily demand compensation for my efforts. No, but really, the more money I can make with my music, the more time I can make for my music, which means more of it for you more often. There. That's my sales pitch. I'm done now.
I've also tweaked the mixes slightly in ways that are not even worth mentioning.
The good news is that the downloads are of better quality now and come in a variety of formats for all of your silly needs. Soon enough, I'll even have tasty physical CDs.
Holy Potatoes! It's time for sleep! Good night!
All right, so it's one thing for a kid to have an amazing level of mechanical skill, but Billie Tweddle is the absolute definition of genius in my mind. She is yet another singer-songwriter, singing about heartbreak and what have you, and she does it really, really well. I mean, this is real poetry, folks – some of the best use of language I've ever heard, I think. Seriously. There is some kind of twisted level of depth achieved by this here girl, and on top of it, her voice is friggin' polished, as is her ability to express herself through her performance in general. And she's twelve. She's TWELVE, for God's sake! Aaaaarggghhh!!!!!! Shoot me right now in the face! Aaaarrrrggghhh!!!!! Seriously, you should watch this.
You see what I mean? You see? I give up. I quit. Okay, not really. I think instead I'll just drink heavily for several days to get my bearings and be on my way. You take care of yourself, too. Bye now!
Yo. I wanted to share this video because of the strangely profound effect it has on me. For me, this video represents some kind of eerie depth of reality that inspires in me a weird combination of feelings. There is a feeling of strangeness – I feel slightly uncomfortable, but in a good way – mixed with some sort of simmering excitement and and at the same time, peaceful warmth – like I feel whole and complete.
I think this response has something to do with the series of spiritual experiences I had about ten years ago. I also did a lot of reading back then. One of my favorite authors at the time was Lewis Thomas, a guy who wrote a whole bunch of essays in the seventies on the topic of biology. He wrote one essay entitled "The Music of This Sphere," in which he celebrates the sounds life on Earth makes, observing that more than anything else, creatures love to make noise. From here, he draws an analogy to music, suggesting that if we could hear all the sounds life's creatures make all at once, it would sound like the most incredible musical composition we've ever heard. After first reading this a decade ago, I was standing outside the woods one summer midnight while hanging out with some friends, and I was just listening to the noise of the insects emanating from the mysterious blackness of the forest, imagining a great symphony, with each species as a different instrumental section. The experience was really something.
I was high at the time, of course.
You see, music is really magical for me. I've thought about this a number of times. There's something really unique about music. I mean, there's more to it than just "really cool sounds." The experience of listening to the sound effects in Star Wars is very different from the experience of listening to a really good piece of music, even if there are no lyrics. We feel "moved" by music. What the hell is that? I mean, neuroscientists tell us that our brains are wired from birth to appreciate music, and even more fascinating is the fact that the most ear-pleasing pairs of frequencies happen to be perfect mathematical fractions of one another. Music is it's own animal in the human experience. There's nothing else like it. Because of this, music is a surefire way for me to tap into spiritual feelings.
Now, I know that most bird formations will probably not sound pretty when translated into musical notation, and I know that if we actually heard the biosphere's collective noise, it would probably just sound like static, and I know experiences influenced by The Sweet Leaf should probably be taken with a grain of salt. Scientific skeptics will surely explain away all of my feelings whilst rolling their eyes, but I'm not so naive that I haven't already considered such explanations, and quite frankly, as atheistic as some of my song lyrics may seem, scientific skepticism is one of my great pet peeves. I don't see any value in what seems to me to be a dogged effort to strip magic from a reality which is full of magical things, magical things which we've renamed with "proper" words, like "electromagnetic energy" and "sinusoidal plane wave frequencies."
I don't know about anyone else, but when I see music, math, and nature line up like they do in this video, I get the staggering feeling that I'm witnessing a glimpse of reality in its totality, rather than in little bits and fragments like we usually experience. And that centralized, holistic, and fundamental truth of all reality is how I personally define God, in contrast with the bearded old man in the clouds.
So, yeah, it's God on YouTube, I guess.
Also, there's this:
Try to imagine a wedding that this band wouldn't ruin. If you can, you have a better imagination than I. 2:07 to 2:24 is my favorite.
Alayna Powley
Hey, here's a really good song from upcoming New Zealand singer-songwriter Alayna Powley. It's called "Seeking Happiness." Check it out! Oh, and you can find the lyrics here.
Pretty neat, eh? Yes, I thought so, too. Oh, and sorry for my extra-lame internet presence as of late. I think I'll be able to put up another YouTube video this week, and in about a month's time I'll be in super active mode with a super-radical recording space which I'll probably show you in a video or something. Ooh, look! A good weekend! Have it!
The Sleepy Man Banjo Boys
All right, remember that really great bluegrass band I posted about a few weeks ago, The Henhouse Prowlers? Well, these guys are even better. And they're, like, 10 years old. Jesus Humphrey Christ. I watched this video two or three times, racking my brain to try to figure out whether or not these kid's heads were somehow photoshopped onto some adult's torso, only to see another performance of theirs on Letterman. You may have seen this because it was a big YouTube hit a year ago, but in case you haven't, I thought I'd share. Watching it was a pretty surreal experience for me, like some sort of eerie, twisted dream. Why do people like this exist? Are they trying to make me look pathetic? I mean, when I play the guitar, there is a persistent, lingering fear that every single one of my plucks will miss the strings entirely, my awkward, contorted fingers trembling and aching from the crippling effort of producing simple chords. Where do these…these…infants get the gall to embarrass me like this? I think they need to be thrown in prison. Enjoy.
The Magic of Music
Okay, so this is awesome. Just watch!
I think my favorite stuff on the internet is this sort of thing. This kind of creative effort that really reaches into multiple media to create something that nobody's ever seen before. I'm not saying this is the only guy in history who's ever done anything like this, but I've sure never seen anything like it before. What's awesome about it, though, is that we've all seen the individual elements of it many, many times. Everyone has heard songs, and everyone has seen card tricks. But when the two are combined in such a clever way, it amplifies everything that's impressive about them individually. It helps that the song's lyrics are already clever and allude to playing cards, and it helps, of course, that this guy is already amazing with his sleight of hand skills and his inventiveness in crafting his tricks. But when the two are joined into a single act, it has this exponential effect, and the vision to harness that is what makes this guy really brilliant.
I've always thought that was the essence of creativity, really. Not to create something out of nothing, which I think is impossible anyway, but to take different familiar elements and join them in a way that is unfamiliar and yet somehow seems completely logical and even inevitable. I think when people try to just be "original," they sacrifice their audience's ability to connect with the art. The audience needs to see something familiar in order to understand the art, and so they can have a frame of reference with which to recognize and truly appreciate what's "new" about it. They need to contrast the new with the old.
It also makes the art more impressive if the audience can see the challenge the artist overcame. If I invent something completely new, like, say, a Goolakfa Brump, nobody will be impressed that I've created such a thing because I had no boundaries against which to struggle. It took no effort to create it because I didn't have any rules by which I had to abide in order to create it. I made up my own rules. But if I start with two already established things, like two different film genres, and combine them, I have to follow the conventions of each and make them line up in a way that fits and even makes it seem like they were supposed to be together all along. If I can achieve that, people will be really impressed because they will recognize the challenge of what I did. In that sense, art is more like a game than people realize, I think.
Okay, that's Matt's philosophy lesson for the day. Happy Thursday, everyone!

Colombian government honours UAE Ambassador.
The Colombian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Maria Angela Holguin Cuellar, recently held a ceremony honouring the UAE Ambassador to Colombia, Mohammed Issa Qattam Al Za'abi, with the Grand Cross of the Order of San Carlos for his outstanding role in promoting bilateral relations between the two countries since the opening of the UAE Embassy in Bogota in 2013.
The minister said that during his mission in Colombia, the ambassador had distinguished himself with personal and professional qualities and devoted his efforts to support all initiatives related to the promotion and strengthening of relations between Colombia and the UAE.
In turn, Al Za'abi thanked the Colombian government and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the decision of President Juan Manuel Santos Calderon of Colombia to grant him the Order.

Today I made progress. Teeny-weeny tiny progress, but progress nonetheless.
I didn't have any classes today, so I could for the first time in months spend a day working on my thesis. I'm writing out a section on the collaborations between auteur directors and their regular, trusted actors. It's in Chapter Three, which has been causing me no end of strife, so the one thousand-odd words I enthusiastically created today were a landmark event in a couple of ways. I even managed to feel briefly 'in the zone', when everything just works and the ol' grey matter hums along nicely.
A friend calls her thesis Bob, by the way. I don't have a name (or even an adequate title...) for mine, but I think I'll have to anthropomorphise it a little, and picture it as a sort of Columbo, wryly knowing things without letting me in on them until I've worked a bit harder.
Here's an entirely thesis-unrelated matter: saunter on down to PhD in Parenting's latest post Reflections of Motherhood, which features a video of messages women would give themselves if they could go back to before their first children were born. The sentiments are all lovely, but I don't know if I could have been as concise as some of them. I do know what I'd say to myself four days ago, though: "The M&Ms are not safe there."

Well done on your 1000 words!ReplyDelete
It's a lovely video. I started thinking what I would have told myself, and yeah, it's difficult. I wonder if perhaps it's easier after a few years have elapsed? We might still be a bit close to the experience seeing as they are still babies (albiet babbling, m&m-stealing, almost-walking babies).

Some nights, it doesn't pay for a dragon to get out of bed.
Got up, and couldn't find my keys, anywhere. I always put them in the same place, on the hook by my light switch, but they weren't there. Ma was asleep, so I couldn't ask her. I turned the apartment upside down. They were nowhere, just vanished.
I was going to be late, again. One more ding on my record and I'd be looking for another job. Not good. I like this job. I know it's weird, but I do. At least I can help a few people, sometimes.
I was running out of time. With 20 minutes left, I realized I'd never make it on time even if I found my keys. So, I gave up, and slipped out my window to the fire escape. I live in the tallest apartment building in downtown. Went straight up to the roof, doing my best to avoid the railing section that screeches when you lean on it, right next to Mrs. Del Conte's window. She's my landlady, and she's got the loudest, yappiest Pekingese in Austin. I'd hate that dog if it wasn't so darn cute.
As soon as I hit the roof, I unbottoned my uniform shirt, and took it off so I could get my wings unfolded without tearing it. Tucked my shirt into the back of my pants so I wouldn't lose it. It was well after 11 at night. The street lights keep everyone blind to the sky in the city, so not much danger that anyone would see me.
I'm not my dad. I can't do the full dragon thing, or I don't know, maybe I just can't do it yet. I'm still pretty young the way dragons count things. I can't quite fly. Can't just, you know, jump up and flap and lift off from the ground, although I can jump a couple stories with wing assist. I can also glide better than any hang glider ever dreamed, even gain some altitude if I catch the thermals right.
It felt so good to stretch my wings and catch the air, cold as a well-digger's ass this time of year, but the cold's never really bothered me much. It's just a different kind of swooshy feeling as it flows under my wing membranes. It's beautiful up there in the sky, and so perfectly peaceful. Everything pauses and the world takes a deep breath. I wonder sometimes why dad ever came down.
There's a little park right across from the hospital. Should have been empty that time of night. I tilted my right wing and circled to shed air speed, then flapped backward hard just before my feet touched grass. Light as a feather. Dad would have been proud. I was grinning, all pleased with myself for the perfect landing, and looked up ... right into the eyes of a homeless guy, sitting leaned up against a tree. He was huddled under every piece of clothing he probably owned until he looked like part of the landscaping. He had on a goofy red knit hat with strings dangling on either side of his face tipped with little pom poms.
"Uh, Hi." I snapped my wings closed and waved at him.
He looked dazed, but he waved back.
Hopefully, he'll assume the half naked, partially scaly winged girl he saw was a result of whatever he had to drink before camping here.
I had bigger problems. The cell phone in my pocket read 11:57. I had three minutes to show up to work on time. Threw my shirt over my shoulders and ran, buttoning as I went.
I realized half way across the road that I got the buttons done wrong, stopped for a second to undo them. Dumb, really dumb to stand in the middle of the road, looking down at my buttons. Don't know what in the world I was thinking.
Some guy in an F150 pickup going way faster than he should have been going right in front of a hospital clipped me hard with his right front bumper. Threw me about 15 feet, clear over the sidewalk and into the wall. That really hurt. I was bruised for hours. And my uniform pants got ripped. Who goes that fast in a hospital zone anyway? I mean, besides us. But we have flashy lights and sirens, and a good excuse.
The guy slammed the brakes and jumped out to come check on me, but I ran for it before he got a good look at me. Made it into the building, but the boss still yelled at me for being late. And, for showing up looking like I slept in my uniform, and rolled in the dirt.
Some days, it just doesn't pay. Boss said they're too short-handed to fire me. Got that going for me, I guess.
Here's the kicker. After my shift, when I got home, I went to grab a couple slices of leftover ham out of the fridge, and found my keys next to the milk.

text: Photographing Neil and Kristin for their maternity session was such a blast. They cracked me up the entire time and I L-O-V-E-D Neil's shirt that read "The Man Behind The Bump." My in-home studio sits on an acre and a half of land with a stream running through it and connects to miles of green-belt trails and I'm always hoping my Mommies will be willing to get their feet wet. Kristin was game for anything I asked. Lay down in the grass? You betcha! Wade in the stream while I investigate a blue crawdad swimming nearby? Of course! Pose in the studio for traditional photographs too? She was game. Having so much fun at their maternity session made me really excited for the day baby Neil Jr. arrived and I got to photograph the entire family. Of all the images we captured that day, my favorite is the image with the new Grandma and Grandpa. Grandpa's happy smile and gentle touch of newborn Neil were absolutely heartwarming. To see such a big strong man be so gentle with a delicate baby boy, made my heart go pitter-patter!

In 2006, Blake Mycoskie (former Amazing Race contestant) took a vacation to Argentina. He was extremely disturbed by the fact that many of the children didn't have any shoes to protect their feet. Not only did having no shoes allow the children to be susceptible to various health risks, but these children were not allowed to attend school as footwear is part of the uniform.
Blake's trip inspired him to create TOMS shoes. For every pair of shoes sold, another new pair is given to a child in need. In the beginning, Blake only had help from his family and friends but has since grown exponentially into a fully staffed company. As of September, 2010 TOMS had given over one million pairs of shoes to needy children in over 20 countries around the world; including Haiti, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Argentina and the United States.
You may be wondering why give shoes? Why not water, or food? Children in developing countries that grow up without shoes are at risk:
Thanks to the popularity of TOMS, their merchandise has expanded to include clothing, and multiple footwear styles including Wrap Boots, Botas, Cordones, Wedges and even Wedding styles.
It's amazing what a giving spirit and a drive to succeed can accomplish. Although we may not be able to accomplish as much as Blake, there are many ways to get involved with this cause:

Before aluminum was just the stuff we used to wrap sandwiches, the silvery-white metal—the most abundant alloy in the earth's core—was actually a valuable commodity. Napoleon III prized his collection of aluminum cutlery over his gold and silver sets, breaking it out for only the most special occasions. When entrepreneurs discovered how to separate the metal from its minerals in the late 1800s, aluminum quickly became an industrial alloy. Then, in early 2016, when Munich-based fine jewelry atelier Hemmerle was researching ways to create bigger earrings that were also lightweight, the [AL] Project—a collection using aluminum as its main metal—was born. This one-of-a-kind Clematis brooch marries aluminum (flower petals) and white gold with diamonds and sapphires. "We're always looking to do new things," says creative director Christian Hemmerle. "Sometimes you have this moment where you say, 'Why don't we just try it?'?"
Purple Passion
The pin-back floral brooch—which weighs only 28.8 grams—features 2.67 cts. t.w. sapphires, 1.67 cts. t.w. pink diamonds, 0.55 ct. t.w. diamonds, and pure aluminum, anodized to achieve various blue and lavender hues.
True Colors
"Usually you can see the colors very clearly in a metal you're working with, but aluminum looks like a very rough metal until the end, when it gets its patina," Hemmerle says. The firm was advised that aluminum could yield up to six different hues/patinas using the anodizing process. The fabrication team wound up producing more than 35 hues.
The Light Stuff
All the [AL] Project pieces are "super ultralight," Hemmerle says. "Someone once told me a small earring needs to be hefty and a big earring needs to be light, and this always stuck in my head." And while initially the house goldsmiths were hesitant to work with the less-than-lofty metal ("It was a very controversial discussion"), aluminum eventually won them over. "They've all seen the amazing effects."

The general run of alarm clocks are vicious gadgets designed to get you up in the morning – and boy, they mean it! They employ all kinds of dirty tricks to whisk you out of sleep with a pounding heart and a feeling that you've died and gone to hell. Many of them do it with raucous battle cries that announce the beginning of a new day for you and everyone else within half a mile.
For everyone who is sure that alarm-clocks have been invented by devils here's one that must have been designed by an angel, and it's dubbed an un-alarm clock to show you that it is a thing poles apart from your demanding announcer. The un-alarm clock is a wristband that you strap on before going to bed. It works in collaboration with your iPhone, iPad or iTouch, and when the time is ripe it just vibrates without disturbing your partner's beauty sleep.
Those who care to know how they were making it through the night will be informed by the un-alarm clock on various aspects like the time it took you to doze off or whether you woke up during the night.
$129 is your price for a gentle wake-up call.

I found this recipe on Iowa Girl Eats and was so intrigued and wanted to try it so badly that I made it that night. We love chili, but had never had sweet chili before. The reviews on the blog were glowing and the woman who writes the blog said it is their all time favorite, so how could I resist?
As usual for me, I have messed with the recipe in a few ways. I use extra lean ground turkey and that basically produces no fat for sauteing anything, and I actually cut back on the amount of chili powder (usually I add more than recipes call for!). Chili powder intensity varies wildly according to what kind you get. Mine is from Mountain Rose Herbs. It's very delicious, but quite potent and spicy. The original recipe calls for 6 tablespoons (this is with the recipe doubled as written below), but I recommend you add 4 to start with like I did and then you can add more if it's needed. I also left out the cayenne because it was spicy enough without, thanks to the chili powder. I also saute the spices with the onion, garlic, and meat to help the flavors develop, something not specified in the original recipe.
The other big change is that I use all black beans instead of part canned baked beans so the sugar could be reduced a bit, but the first time I made it, I did use the baked beans and it was very good. Usually I prefer main dish recipes without added sugar, but figure making this once or twice a year will not hurt anything. It would not be the same without the sweetness! This recipe makes 12 generous servings and each serving has 1 teaspoon of brown sugar, which isn't too bad, all things considered.
So, the verdict? Pretty amazing and unlike any other chili I've either made or eaten. It is indeed spicy, smoky, and sweet! The trifecta of perfection. The flavors really combine beautifully and it turns out sweet chili totally works. I had a pretty specific idea in my head of what this chili would taste like (guessing the result of me cooking half my life), and it was exactly how I expected. It became an instant favorite in our house and I now make it in double batches so we can freeze some of it. We still love Stout Chili and White Chili (which I still need to post on the blog, funny considering it's been a favorite of mine since childhood!), but we have love enough in our hearts for 3 "essential" chili recipes and the many other quick chili recipes I've posted here. Plus, this chili recipe is quite different in flavor from Stout Chili and White Chili.
If you don't want to cook this on the stove, you can do it in the Instant Pot or a slow cooker. For the Instant Pot, just cook everything as described on Saute, then put the lid on and set it to Chili for 20 minutes, do a quick pressure release, and serve. For a slow cooker, cook everything as described on the stove top, but instead of simmering it, transfer the chili to the slow cooker and cook it for 6-8 hours.
Quick Note: Have your cup of water and cans of tomato sauce open before you start. The spices can burn quickly so you want to have that liquid ingredient ready to go!
Spicy, Smoky, Sweet Chili
4 Tbsp butter1 large onion, diced
2 lb ground turkey
8 cloves garlic, minced
4 Tbsp chili powder
1 Tbsp smoked paprika
1 tsp cumin
1 C water
2 28 oz can tomato sauce2 28 oz cans black beans, drained
4 Tbsp brown sugar
First things first, have your spices in a small bowl so you can add them quickly and all at once. Set aside.
Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and saute until they turn translucent, then add the ground turkey. Cook the turkey and onion together, being sure to break up the meat with your spoon. When the meat is no longer pink, ad the minced garlic and spices. Saute for another minute or so, being very careful not to burn the spices. Immediately pour in the water and tomato sauce, then add the remaining ingredients. Bring to a simmer, then cover and reduce the heat to medium low. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Yield: 12 servings

Great reports are coming in from all across the Alps, with most areas getting a good share of the early snowfalls. Here in the Savoie the sun is out and the slopes are still quiet. the last few days have been very cold which has kept the snow in perfect condition with nice 'squeaky' snow on piste and soft and fluffy powder off piste. Over in Chamonix conditions sound awesome, Jonny, Kenton and Guy all reporting great snow in the Marbrees couloir on the Italian side of the range.
In Courchevel all the Saulire couloirs have been skied despite the cable car being temporarily out of action, and the Suisses bowl is very well filled in for so early in the Season. Long may it continue...

Best start to the season since 1996!
Thats how the Savoie avalanche bulletin is describing the current conditions. Certainly the best start to the winter that I've seen in the 9 years I've been working in the 3 Valleys. Still a few spaces left on January's off-piste weeks so head on over to the offpisteskiing.com website for details...

Bad idea designed by well intended people without a clue as to the eventual outcome they will bring upon themselves, and those who participate in their schemes.
There is little doubt in my mind that this ties to the RFID techno nightmare and eventually the microchip implant to buy or sell.
Besides being scripturally described as the "mark of the beast" it also is ovbiously flawed in precept, because in a world where not everyone forgives mistakes, to have everything known by people is to insure that unless you are perfect yourself, you are going to have a lot of problems and charges brought against you.
And show me a perfect man or woman. Ha, ha, those who think they are, usually have the most forgotton or hidden sins and or mistakes.
Privacy is the ONLY possible substitute for grace, and in this world of ours, few people carry much grace for those they dislike. As well as the fact most people have more than a few, that they dislike (or at least a few they dislike).
Therefore this idea spells tyrany for at least a few, and most likely for many, because whoever is at the top of the power pyramid of this total information structure, once it is in place, they will have more knowledge of other people than they could possibly be trusted with to use for the benefit of those other people.
Enjoyed the blog on the "paint" item and the suggestion that we paint it on our neighbors items. Ha, ha, that cynical reality cuts right to the chase to explain the folly of all this bs our so called leaders are trying to foist upon us all.
There is no such thing as a foolproof system, whenever a human is in the link.
And the smarter ones will always eventually figure a way to defeat the system for their own selfish gain. And the smarter ones (unless perfectly upright individuals themselves)are usually the most evil ones. Therefore to be locked into a system like this, unless you are the most evil, you will fair poorly in the long run. To give control to somebody is to give the opportunity to them to abuse their position to your own hurt. To give away your privacy is to give away that control.
Historically people only gave away their privacy to those they trusted, people they became intimate friends with. Even then sometimes that trust has always been abused in some cases, but at least in those cases there was the remedy to never trust that friend that abused your confidence again. But in a world system where would that option exist? Quite simple, it wouldn't, and then you have been had, or in other words completely screwed with no opportunity to work yourself out of whatever jam it was you were in.
Who in their right mind would want to be forced to obey each and every cockamennie law some idiot dreamed up?
Always drive 55, and always get caught when you didn't? Always wear your seatbelt? Always never drink and drive even 2 beers if they make that the national limit? Never smoke in a public place? Always pay for every mistake you make in full, whether you intentionally perpetrated it or not?
And the opportunities for abuse get much worse than such minor inconviences as those. How about always do community service for a given amount of time, and that "community service" actually was to manicure some bigshots estate, foisted off as if it was a "public park" but the only thing "public" about it was the fact that people could sightsee there once a year on some special occaision designated by the real hidden owner?
These geeks that dream up all this techno pricacy invasion technics are gonna make themselves one big nightmnare.

Film Students Pull Horror Films Together in a Hurry
As part of Salt Lake City's only horror film festival, The Salty Horror International Film Festival, BEAU teamed up with the San Francisco Art Institute (SFAI) to create short films.
There were two categories for the film contest. In the first category, students needed to create a one-minute film using only a cell phone camera. The one minute had to be continuous with no touch-ups or edits. This is a project that Christopher Coppola of SFAI often has his film students do during their schooling. In keeping with the horror film festival mood, students were asked to use the theme: "What are they doing out there?"
For the second category, each BEAU contestant paired up with an SFAI student to create a three to five-minute film using one of four categories: Bloody Parallels, It Came from the Dark, No One Survives, and No Place to Hide. Each film was required to contain footage from both Salt Lake City and San Francisco. Students had the extra challenge of bridging the long distance using WeVideo. They only had four days to complete their films.
The awards celebration was held at BEAU with some of the SFAI students and Christopher Coppola flying out to attend. All the films were screened. The films had been judged earlier that day by four impartial judges from both schools. Films were rated on inventiveness, clarity of interpretation of the theme, and technical prowess. For the cell phone art, the prize was split between two clever entries, entitled: "Farber Uh Oh!" and "Canuto," that showed two sides of the same event. They split at $50 prize.
The winning entry for the short film contest was entitled "Webcam" and was created by Kira Norlem from BEAU and Jake Spoone from SFAI. They split a $500 prize.
During the awards celebration, students were asked to speak about their experience working long distance with other film students. The distance and the short time limit seemed to cause challenges, as well as spur the students to think in ways they would not have thought before.
One partnership spoke about discovering that their idea for an "alien baby" would not work within the constraints.
As Instructor Mario DeAngelo said, "You can make a film in a week or you can take years." The amazing thing, though, as Christopher Coppola said, "These films didn't exist a week ago." These students come away from this experience with a finished film under their belt.

Cash Flow Coming - (PANR)
Cash Flow Coming
In just a few days gas will start flowing into the Kinder Morgan processing facility in Polk County, and there will be a week or two of a chemical wash to sort everything out properly. Then the first cash from operations will start flowing towards Pantheon Resources (PANR). Excellent on-track news.
The money will not reach the company until December, but once it starts coming in, it should build up pretty quickly. The plant ought soon to come close to full capacity, and sales could be generating the best part of $1.5m a month to Pantheon fairly early in the New Year.
The gas will come from wells one and three in Polk County, plus VOBM#2H, where the attempt to drill horizontally ground to a halt against the hard and abrasive Eagle Ford sandstone, and sent the wellbore twisting and turning into a troublesome well. Instead of spending more time and money shunting resources around to improve and test the flow from number 2 in just a two week window, the company has decided to settle for what it can get out of number 2 without further ado, letting the well flow directly into the processing facility, selling rather than flaring the gas.
While it has proved a costly effort so far, the logs on number 2 well look so good that Pantheon is likely to come back at some stage and re-drill, starting with a vertical well, moving to an angle, and then resuming vertically. Pantheon's share of that could cost maybe $2m, but by then there will be cash flowing into the business.
Drilling is under way on the sidetrack of VOBM#4 well in Tyler County, targeting the Wilcox formation which Pantheon came across while drilling the original VOBM#4 well. The company will have 75% of this, and after the results will decide on taking up the option to extend to a 75% interest in other acreage at a cost of up to $1.5m. The Wilcox formation has been a prolific producer for others close by, and the prospect for Pantheon is exciting. Operations are expected to take 30 days, all going well, with testing thereafter.
Pantheon shares dipped after the latest update, but that seems to make little sense. Oil exploration is a difficult business, and Pantheon has hit a remarkable five out of five in wells, and has actually discovered more prospects on the way down than it was originally seeking. Operational delays have been frustrating, but they are secondary by comparison with the remarkable success in finding oil and gas.
At 52.5p, Pantheon has cash in the bank, and significant cash flow from operations about to come on stream. Rising gas and oil prices are making quite an impact, and if the current sidetrack into the Wilcox reservoir proves successful it could bring a significant addition to Pantheon's already substantial potential assets.
I have a holding in Pantheon.

I know I've talked about my Polish background in posts about kielbasa and pierogies, but there's more than the Polish half to me. If you haven't guessed by my name (Colleen, meaning "girl" or "maiden" in Gaelic), I am part Irish, too. The O'Briens, on my mother's side, passed down some fiery Irish genes to supplement 1/4 of my background. I competed in Irish step dancing from when I was 4 until I was 15. No, I wasn't crazy like the ones on TV, but I do know the difference between a reel and a jig and am acquainted with the term "poodle socks." I remember those dancing years, during this season, we'd be carted around from one smokey bar to the next, with stops at nursing homes in between, to perform as part of the St. Patrick's Day festivities. Aside from step dancing, enjoying potatoes and whiskey, and a healthy admiration of Celtic knots, I'm also fascinated by the tales of Irish immigrants that settled in the regions near to here, like the Molly Maguires in the coal region.
So, in honor St. Patrick's Day and my Irish heritage, I am posting this recipe for potato leek soup. This recipe doesn't call for any milk or cream, making it not so bad for you (vegan, in fact!), and very inexpensive to whip up. If the soup is too thick for your taste, you can add some extra water after you purée it. Serve this with some crusty bread and an Irish beer. This weekend, I plan on experimenting with some bangers and mash, so perhaps you'll see that recipe, too!
Potato Leek Soup
- 2 T. olive oil
- 4 leeks (Jett's Produce)
- 4 stalks celery (Jett's Produce)
- 1 tsp. chopped fresh thyme (my garden)
- 1/4 tsp. chili powder, optional
- salt & pepper, to taste
- 6 c. water (or vegetable stock, if you prefer, but not necessary)
- 6 medium potatoes (Padula Potatoes)
- 1 bay leaf
- crusty bread (we used Potato Bread from Apple Ridge Farm)
- Slice leeks and celery 1/4″ thick. (Great tutorial for cleaning & slicing leeks here. Make sure to freeze the dark greens for making broth!)
- Heat olive oil in large soup pot or dutch oven. Add leeks & celery and season with salt. Cook leeks over medium heat stirring frequently, until they're completely soft and wilted, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, peel and chop potatoes.
- Add thyme and chili powder to leek mixture, cooking and stirring until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add water, potatoes and whole bay leaf.
- Cover, bring water to boil, then simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are fork tender.
- Remove whole bay leaf.
- Purée soup with immersion blender (or in small batches in blender(not more than 1/2 full)).
- Sprinkle with black pepper and serve hot with crusty bread.

Here's one reason. Unlike other GOP establishment types who are willing to let the media walk all over them, the mild-mannered Carson still takes on the media in a way that not only resonates, it illustrates the media hypocrisy.
Like he did last night, after a smear story by Politico claimed Carson lied about being offered a scholarship from West Point. Carson took the media on and threw it back in their faces, showing them he won't play their game (The Blaze).
"I do not remember this level of scrutiny for one President Barack Obama when he was running," Carson said. "In fact, I remember just the opposite. I remember people just – oh wait, we won't talk about that. We won't talk about that relationship."
"Why is his records sealed?" he later asked. "Why are you guys not interested in his record are sealed? Why are you not interested in that? Let me ask that. Can someone tell me why please?"
A reporter asked, "Why do you think they are?"
"I'm asking you why it's sealed. No, no, no! Don't change it!" he said over the reporter. "I'm asking you will someone, will someone tell me why you have not investigated that? I want to know."
"Why are you raising it?" a reporter asked.
"Because I want to know. You should want to know too," Carson answered.
He added, "Hold on one second. You are saying that something that happened with the words 'a scholarship was offered' is a big deal, but president of the United States, his academic records being sealed is not? Tell me how there is equivalency there!"And another thing, how come it is safe for liberals and media liberals to attack Carson racially, compared to how just a policy disagreement with Obama is called "racist" or "dog whistle racism." Yet a liberal professor can call Carson a "coon," while others can call him a "token" and a "safe negro."
Which is why liberals want to see him destroyed.

If you try to connect to website using Internet Explorer", and receive a "Cannot find server or DNS error" message, it means that you experience a DNS error now, and this error makes your computer to do almost nothing over the network. DNS stands for Domain Name Service, and its function is to assist in viewing various internet websites by translating normal names to specific IP address that computers can read. For example, when you input facebook.com in IE address bar, a DNS server is required to convert facebook.com to IP address like 188.8.131.52 for example to access your facebook account. By this way, first, you don't have to remember the dully IP address, second, you could change the IP address to store your website, but keep the domain name as you want.
DNS error is a result of an inactive internet connection by many reason. In order to fix an Internet Explorer DNS error, you need to identify what causes the problem first, and then it is possible to resolve the problem and get back on the Internet again. DNS problem commonly arises from the below reasons:
One Website or All
Check whether the DNS error is particular to one website. Visit 3-5 of your favorite websites, either home or abroad, if only one site, or only abroad websites are not working, the problem occurs on the Internet, not on your side.
Ensure Connection
When you encountered the Internet Explorer DNS error, you should check whether any local network connection is available. Try to connect to your home or office router from the computer referring to your router manual. If not, the DNS error occurs because your computer could not connect to the local office or home network before reaching the Internet.
Internet Connection Unavailable
If no websites are working, the slow or unavailable network connectivity may be the reason. This is usually caused by a faulty cable/DNS modem or the ISP (Internet Service Provider) is down. Try to restart the modem, and if the Internet Explorer DNS errors still persist, contact the ISP.
But commonly the DNS error is definitely on the network connection itself and not on the DNS itself. And some are possible to fix as below:
• Find the network icon on the task bar and right click it, and then select the option of repair to solve the DNS problem.
• In start menu, open run and type in 'ipconfig release' to retrieve your old IP address. Typing in 'ipconfig renew' enables you to renew this IP address.
• You can personalize your own settings in the network connection properties.
• Another last thing is to make sure that your cables are correctly connected.
Hopefully those tips help you resolve the DNS error, and you can use your Internet Explorer again.

AUGUSTA, Maine — Teamwork is the undeniable key to success in cheerleading competitions.
A dozen members of the Sumner Memorial High School squad have been cheering together for the last three years. Saturday afternoon, they were rewarded for all the hard work.
Coach Monica Chipman's Tigers were among the last of the 24 teams to compete, but it proved worth the wait as Sumner won the school's first cheerleading state title.
The Eastern Maine champions scored 132.2 points to hold off runner-up Central of Corinth (130.1) to win Class C. Dexter finished third with 128.4 points in a sweep that will send three EM squads to the New England Championships March 20 in Providence, R.I.
"They actually all know how each other works," said Chipman. "We just decided to step it up a level this year [in terms of difficulty] to see if we could really hit this routine."
Houlton took fourth place with 125.0 points and Orono (124.1) placed fifth, while Western Maine champ Monmouth Academy was sixth (122.1), followed by Saint Dominic of Auburn (120.2) and Washington Academy of East Machias (120.0).
Rounding out the 12-team Class C field were Livermore Falls (109.1), Dirigo of Dixfield (109.1), Sacopee Valley of South Hiram (105.6) and Jay (101.0).
Poland Regional High won the Class B state title, scoring 146.8 points to edge runner-up Ellsworth (145.9), the Eastern Maine runner-up.
It was the second title in three years and the third overall for coach Katie Hebert's Knights, who competed amidst an enthusiastic Class B field.
Eastern Maine champ Hermon took third place with 141.5 points and will join Poland and Ellsworth at the upcoming New Englands. Presque Isle (137.2) and Waterville (134) rounded out the top five.
John Bapst of Bangor (132.9 points) earned sixth place, followed by Wells (131.9), Mountain Valley of Rumford (130.9), Oak Hill of Sabattus (130.3), Medomak Valley of Waldoboro (129.9), Caribou (127.5), and Leavitt of Turner Center (126.6).
In the Class C competition, Sumner's veterans enabled them to secure the crown.
The Tigers also received a boost from the likes of their only senior and male team member, Jacob Backman. He had served as the team manager the previous two years.
"They talked me into cheering, so I said I might as well try it," Backman said. "The reason that I didn't cheer last year is that I didn't know if I could tumble … But I took gymnastics this summer and I got my tuck and stuff and I said I'll give it a try."
Captain Jalisa Patten was among a contingent of juniors that put the Tigers over the top. That class also includes Haley Sandstrom, Brianna Bishko, Jordan Rivers, Maria Lockhart, Emily Ingalls, Brooke Raynor, Jordan Knowles, Sarah Frost, Ashtyn Thomas, Kelsey Martin and Whitney Doughty.
The chemistry developed over three years was evident as Sumner impressed the judges with a nice series of lifts and spin dismounts, good synchronization in its dancing and a solid, enthusiastic finish.
Most of that came after an early fall that wound up not resulting in a deduction.
"That's a really important thing to remember in cheering: Even if there's some kind of mistake, you have to keep going, you have to pretend like it didn't happen and keep up your spirit," Patten said.
"I don't think I've ever been this happy," she added.
Sumner also got contributions from sophomore Ashley Andrews and freshmen Josie Barker and Alexandria Tracy.
The Central Red Devils, who finished fourth at the regionals, responded by making a serious challenge for the state title.
"This is the first time we've nailed it [the routine] all season long and it's been well overdue, but I'm just so proud of them and I'm honored to be their coach," said Christy Strout.
"When we got into practice and I saw the makeup of my girls and I saw how hard they worked, I thought that if we did it the way it needed to be done yes, we could be here," she said.
In Class B, Poland distinguished itself with its performance — and its distinctive neon green hair ribbons. The Knights' fans donned T-shirts of the same color in a gesture of solidarity.
Poland rattled off a busy, high-energy routine that included high throws, plenty of jumps, an excellent series of lifts and a well-choreographed dance segment.
"Amazing. I'm so proud of them," said coach Katie Hebert.
"They're not really like a team. They work together. They're more like a family," she added.
Captain Sophie Geelhoed was the only senior on a squad that featured Olivia Doyer, Shelby Brown, Billy Jo Morrison, Tyler Davidson, Stephanie Campbell, Brianna Morris, Abby Strout, Colleen Murphy and Alycia Walsh, Paige Brousseau, Heidi Chipman, Kaitlyn Roy, Mikala Hayes, Emily Briggs, Haley Hebert and Krysta Martin.
"It was one of the best performances we've had and it felt really good," Geelhoed said.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to reach my 50,000 word goal for this year's NaNoWriMo due to unfortunate events that had to be addressed immediately, combined with the pressure from an ongoing project's deadline, something had to be cut. But the 27,088 words that did make it to the screen resulted in something I'm surprised and pleased to present to you, the reader!
Messenger is a dark fantasy tale set in an unsettled frontier inhabited by few settlements nestled in the midst of the Wild. Out here, beasts and foul creatures rule the land, leaving the humanoid races to hide behind stone walls, underground, or atop the highest trees in a desperate contest of survival. Linking them together are messengers, wanderers of the Wild and adventurers of the unexplored. Whether they deliver good word from other communities or carry out vital quests for information and provisions, messengers are perhaps the noblest - and dangerous - profession known.
It was an idea I've had for a few years now and always wanted to toy with it as a fantasy RPG, but the setting had never been detailed. While I had always believed writing fiction helped a setting express itself organically, I would now swear on a bible it was remarkably effective. Everything just started falling together and really opened up the massive setting to dive into with antagonists unique and familiar to the standard adventurer.
Anywho, if you're interested in checking it out and willing to provide some feedback, please feel free to download this PDF. It's formatted for standard letter size (8.5"x11"), it should work just fine on tablets, though I haven't had a chance to test out this new export method.

The remake of the beloved action movie series, Tomb Raider, delivered a great mix of action, myth and suspense while interweaving some pretty advanced Estate Planning concepts that we deal with every day. Playing in theaters worldwide, the film begins with Lara Croft, played by Alicia Vikander, struggling with her father's absence and possible death. Lara's life, like many of today's youth, seemed to lack a clear direction until she was put in a board room to review her father's Last Will and Testament and was made to come to grips with his death.
This brings up an interesting question: When someone goes missing, how long is it until he/she is presumed dead? The Connecticut General Statutes Sec., 45a-446 gives us some indication as to how a Connecticut Court would handle the situation.
Sec. 45a-446. Distribution when heir, legatee or distributee is presumed to be dead. Liability of fiduciary. (a) If, at any hearing before a court of probate on an application for an order for the distribution of the estate or for the payment of legacies provided for in the will of a deceased person whose estate is in process of settlement in the court, it is found by the court that any person who if living would be an heir at law of such decedent, or a legatee or distributee under such will, has been absent from his home and unheard of for a period of seven years or more next prior to the date of the death of the decedent and until the date of such hearing, the court shall find as a presumptive fact that such person died prior to the death of the decedent whose estate is in settlement, and shall order such distribution of the estate or payment of such legacies as would have been made if such person was known to have died prior to the death of the decedent whose estate is in settlement.
In Connecticut, Lara would have had to wait 7 years to file in probate to close her father's estate. At that point, assuming no one had heard from him, there would be a presumption that he is deceased. In the case of Tomb Raider, there ended up being more to Lara's father's situation than meets the eye. Let's just say there is a bittersweet reunion in the movie, and Lara has her father's Last Will and Testament to thank for that.
Estate Planning plays a big role, especially in the lives of the loved ones left behind.
If you think your loved one has gone missing, or if you are struggling with any situation or following the death of a close family member, contact Wiley Etter, LLC, and we will help you navigate through this tricky process.

In a bid to stave off the rising competitive threat posed by media tablets, the mobile PC market is embracing the new Ultrabook platform in a big way, with shipments expected to rise to account for more than 40 percent of all notebooks by 2015, according to the IHS iSuppli Compute Platforms service at information and analysis provider IHS.
Ultrabooks will represent 43 percent of global notebook PC shipments in 2015, up from 2 percent in 2011 and 13 percent in 2012. Following their first year of shipments in 2011, Ultrabook penetration of the notebook market will increase rapidly, climbing to 28 percent in 2013 and then to 38 percent in 2014.
To compete with media tablets, notebook PCs must become sexier and more appealing to consumers. With media tablets having already reversed the expansion of the previously fast-growing netbook platform, PC makers now are keenly aware that the notebook must evolve to maintain market growth and relevance. Enter the Ultrabook, which borrows some of the form-factor and user-interface advantages of the media tablet to enhance the allure of the venerable notebook.
While media tablets aren't expected to bring an end to the notebook market, they are contributing to slowing growth in the segment.
Mainly driven by Apple Inc.'s iPad, the media tablet market is set to boom in the coming years, with worldwide shipments rising at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) more than 42 percent from 2011 to 2015. Meanwhile, the notebook market has entered a stage of maturity, with shipments increasing at a CAGR of only 10 percent during the same period.
Ultrabooks Unveiled
Ultrabooks are defined as notebooks that are extremely light and thin, at less than 0.8 inches in thickness. While Ultrabooks employ a full PC operating system like Microsoft Windows, they also add features now commonly found in media tablets, such as instant-on activation, always-connected wireless links, solid state drives and battery lives that are longer than eight hours on a single charge. Ultrabooks are targeted to be priced at less than $1,000, although most of the early models are more expensive.
Future Ultrabooks are expected to employ convertible form factors and touch screens, allowing owners to use these devices either as notebooks or tablets, depending on their needs.
The initial target market for Ultrabooks will be consumers. However, PC makers also are likely to develop models aimed at corporate users.
Intel Impetus
While multiple companies are pushing Ultrabooks, the strongest supporter is PC microprocessor giant Intel Corp., which made the announcement at Computex Taipei 2011 and discussed its concept of the platform at its Intel Developer Forum (IDF) in September.
Intel's vision of the Ultrabook includes the use of the company's second-generation Core microprocessors, along with Microsoft's upcoming Windows 8 operating system. The company said the first Intel-style Ultrabooks are expected to be shipping in time for the Christmas sales season this year, and some PC original equipment manufacturers—including Acer and Asustek—already are selling the products.
Intel at IDF also previewed the next generation of Ultrabooks set for release in 2012 that will be based on the company's third-generation Core microprocessor line, codenamed Ivy Bridge.
Inflection Point
While Intel's Ultrabook push could be viewed as a reaction to the rise of media tablets, the effort could set the stage for the revitalization of the electronics supply chain.
With the introduction of the Ultrabook, the computing industry is poised for yet another paradigm shift. The technology now exists that actually could bring about a convergence of major mobile devices. If an attractive price point can be achieved and the consumer deems this a must-have product, the entire semiconductor manufacturing supply chain could rapidly reorient itself to serve the fast-growing Ultrabook market. Such an event could end the current slowdown in the semiconductor and electronics manufacturing industries.
In the age of the Ultrabook, the demand for technology would not be limited to only a few companies. Ultrabooks require a comprehensive bill of materials, so companies focused on memory, logic and power management all would participate in the revitalization of demand.
One potential significant growth area would be in flash memory. The transition from the hard disk drives commonly used in notebooks to the solid state drives employed in Ultrabooks will increase unit demand for flash memory while stabilizing chip average selling prices. The benefits would not be confined to chip manufacturers alone but also positively impact other supply chain participants, such as battery suppliers and electronics contract manufacturers.

On July 29, PS3 title Hyperdimension Neptunia was released in Japan. Late last week, Record of Agarest War 2 hit Japan. Hey, wait a sec... There's something familiar, and it's not just the game covers.
Both titles were developed by Idea Factory and Compile Heart. While Hyperdimension Neptunia is a role-playing send up of the Japanese game industry, Record of Agarest War 2 is not. It is the second in a "soul breeding" of role-playing games.
Idea Factory? Seems like the developers ran out of ideas, because the exact same character appears as a boss in both games.
Sure, it's not uncommon for characters to appear in multiple titles — Dragon Quest, for example. But those are often titles in the same series, and this seems to be a case of two small development studios reusing assets. No biggie! As small Japanese developers continue to struggle, better to reuse than have them go to waste, or worse, go out of business.

For those who are wondering the origin of our name Pink Clouds & Hula Hoops, which reflects our "speaking-the-language" & "living-the-lessons" of recovery concept…
Part I – The "Pink Cloud"
The 'Pink Cloud', defined by 12-Step Recovery Fellowships, is the temporary sensation of euphoria & well-being characteristic of those predominantly new to recovery & sobriety. For most, the Pink Cloud eventually dissipates – and we all have to live life on life's terms. This heralds the time to get down to business and start (or re-start) vigorously working a program of recovery…
Part II – The Word "Hula Hoops"
Is a reference to the common saying in recovery – "Stay in Your Hula Hoop" meaning to mind your business adhering to strict boundaries of what concerns you and what doesn't. In recovery as well as in life in general – negativity, conflict, drama and chaos is often caused, in part, by those who preoccupy themselves with what's outside their scope of concern.
This phrase also reminds us to take our OWN moral inventory (not others'), avoid judgment & gossip at all costs and that what others think of us is none of our business.
All lessons that make for a more spiritual, liberating & peaceful life.
