The Pasture
Just got a recording of a song I wrote many-moons ago (Once Upon a Mattress reference). The song is "The Pasture" set to the terrific Robert Frost poem and is written for unaccompanied voice.
Piano Music
I just finished a piece for solo piano – "The Brook." It is a short etude and I think it's good for advanced H.S. students and undergraduates.
Summer Lovin'
We're having a good summer here in SC. Kelly's been with me the entire time – although she goes on the road again sooner than I'd like.
My song cycles and concert arias are now for sale – please check out the SHOP page.
As always, feel free to contact me with questions or just to say hello.
Be well, JOEL
Heine Lieder
Here's a recording of a song of mine called "Warum sind denn die Rosen so blass" from a poem by Heinrich Heine. It's sung in German (translation below) and performed beautifully by Kelly Cae Hogan and Luke Fang.
Why are the roses so pale?
o speak, my love, why?
Why in the green grass
are the blue violets so silent?
Why with such a lamenting voice
does the lark sing in the sky?
Why from the balsam weed does there rise
the scent of wilting blossoms?
Why does the sun shine down on the meadow,
so coldly and morosely?
Why is the earth so gray
and desolate like a grave?
Why am I myself so ill and dull?
My lovely darling speak,
O speak, my heart's most beloved love,
why have you abandoned me?
Tasso Songs
Had a recording session at the University of South Carolina with some fabulously talented musicians, where 8 songs of mine were recorded. Here's "Ecco mormorar l'onde" (now the waves murmur) – a poem by the Italian Renaissance giant Torquato Tasso. Sung in Italian (translation below).
Ecco mormorar l'onde
Now the waves murmur
And the boughs and the shrubs tremble
In the morning breeze
And on the green branches the pleasant birds
Sing softly
And the east smiles;
Now dawn already appears
And mirrors herself in the sea
And makes the sky serene
And the gentle frost impearls the fields
And gilds the high mountains;
O beautiful and gracious Aurora
The breeze is your messenger, and you the breeze's
Which revives each burnt-out heart.
Christina Rossetti in Music Project
I knew my love for Christina Rossetti would pay off – my song cycle "Three Christina Rossetti Poems" has been included in a Christina Rossetti in music project, a digital archive housed at the University of Ottawa. It's a cool project – and to be included with so many great composers is awesome-sauce.
Ode to the Cat
The wonderful Jennifer J. Winn performing "Ode to the Cat" from SUBWAY SONGS at a benefit concert in Princeton, NJ for SAVE, A friend to homeless animals organization.
A Birthday – Rossetti
I found a recording on SoundCloud of my setting of Christina Rossetti's "A Birthday." Nicholas LaRoche and Aaron Franklin are the performers and they do a great job.

Hang-Up Gallery in East London is celebrating its 10th Anniversary with a ten-week festival of art and entertainment featuring ten artists. Hang-Ten runs until 2nd September and includes a multimedia group exhibition, exclusive limited releases, and a packed events calendar of talks and workshops.
Over the past decade, the gallery has hosted over 20 exhibitions displaying works by over 50 artists. Hang-Ten will feature ten of their top artists, displaying exclusive and unseen artworks by Banksy, Harland Miller, The Connor Brothers, Sir Peter Blake, kennardphillipps, Oddly Head, Lauren Baker, Joe Webb, Johnathan Reiner and Mark Powell.
This includes a new screen print from The Connor Brothers, a percentage of which we will be donating to the mental health charity CALM in support of the artists continuing work with CALM ambassador Professor Green, a Joe Webb print in collaboration with pop star Dua Lipa, as well as new luxe bronze ice-cream from Oddly Head and an anti-Trump protest poster from kennardphillipps.
Hang-Up Gallery launched online in 2008 from Gallery Director Ben Cotton's spare room. They opened their first gallery space in 2012, and since then have celebrated a diverse range of solo exhibitions and group shows, and established a firm local, national and international following.
Now residing in the heart of Dalston – the only commercial art gallery in the area – Hang-Up's 1500 square ft two-floor gallery space is equipped with a licensed bar, and has hosted exclusive events with a cross-section of major names from the music and art world, including Darryl 'DMC' McDaniels from hip-hop's legendary Run-DMC, where Darryl performed an intimate gig in the gallery bunker to launch his new collection of artworks.
Throughout the ten-week celebration, they will host a number of free talks and workshops in their renowned Bunker. The selected artists will be invited to share their new releases, processes and experiences to the public alongside other important figures in the contemporary art world.
Hang-Ten is on at Hang-Up Gallery, 81 Stoke Newington Road, London N16 8AD until 2 Sept 2018.

The teachings of Buddha are often transmitted through little parabolas, stories that contain the essence of buddhism in a simple and cheerful way. In the zen monastery, where I stayed for few days in Vietnam, I was given a book with some of these stories, and I will share them here.
I've practiced this teaching this week and it felt really good. It was amazing to put some buddhism in practice. A person offended me, maybe not intentionally but, before, my first reaction would be to respond and show him that I was offended and that he should not do that and so on. But I chose not to take the offence and to continue with my. And life flowed light and easy.
Hurting ourselves
A Brahmin (hindu priest) was angry because his followers were leaving him to follow the Buddha. He found the Buddha and walked behind him for hours, all the time insulting him. When Buddha did not respond, the Brahmin walked in front of Buddha and stood facing him. "I have insulted you for half the day, why don't you answer?"
Buddha said: "If you gave someone in this village a present beautifully wrapped and it was refused, what you do with it?"
"Take it home with me," replied the Brahmin.
"I have not accepted the insults you have heaped on me," said Buddha, "Now you can take all the anger and hatred home with you."
We do not have to take on board insults, vindictiveness, sarcasm etc. if we choose not to.
Insults and compliments alike may be regarded as unreal, since they are fleeting and usually of little or no importance to those who give them to us. It is ourselves who magnify them and cling to them, reliving the pain over and over. Or we can let go. As we meditate we breathe in fresh air and can let go of pain as we follow the breath, always returning to the breath.

A perennial freeze
With the temperatures hovering below the freezing mark over the first days of the year, area residents are questioning how the winter weather will affect their plants and gardens.
Evangeline Parish County Agent Todd Fontenot with the LSU AgCenter provided some answers and also some recommendations to protecting against more Arctic type conditions.
"We dropped into the low 20s for some extended period of time, so we do expect there to definitely be some damage on tender or herbacious perennials like elephant ears, birds of paradise, and begonias," Fontenot said. "These tender vegetation are going to have freeze damage unless they were protected."
"Those that were not protected are going to have some freeze damage," he continued. "We don't know how bad because there's no exact guide to say this happens or doesn't happen, but we were cold enough to where there is going to be definite damage on tender herbacious plants."
Fontenot then offered his agency's recommendation to protect these kind of potted plants. "Our recommendation is to move all tender vegetation in where it can be protected and kept above 32 degrees whether its by covering them, putting in a heat lamp, or bringing them indoors."
Other recommendations from the LSU AgCenter include watering the plants and using mulch. "If it has been dry, thoroughly watering landscape plants before a freeze may reduce the chance of freeze damage," the center said in a report. "Many times cold weather is accompanied by strong, dry winds. These winds may cause damage by drying plants out, and watering helps to prevent this. Wetting the foliage of plants before a freeze does not; however, provide any cold protection."
"For plants growing in the ground, mulches such as loose, dry materials like straw or leaves can help protect them," the center continued. "Mulches are best used to protect below ground parts crowns, or they may be uses to completely cover low growing plants to a depth of about four inches. If mulch is used as a complete cover, it should be left on no more than three days."
The county agent went on touch on the weather's impact on other kind of plants. "The woodier type plants like hibiscus are a bit heartier, but they're still going to sustain some damage," he said. "Our ornamental shrubs like azaleas should be fine for the most part."
He continued, "with citrus trees and fruit trees, fruit should have been removed from all of them because, if people left fruit, they're going to have fruit damage from the freeze."
Fontenot advised further on the weather affecting area citrus trees. "According to LSU AgCenter, temperatures in the mid to low teens for five or more hours is really necessary to kill trees," he stated. "I don't think we really met that. We didn't really get to the mid teens for a long period of time. Now, temperatures in the low 20s for more than five hours will definitely damage the fruit and can cause damage to the trees. Again, we don't know to what extent."
The LSU AgCenter suggests protecting citrus trees from the weather by covering them and also advises that the less hardy citrus trees are more affected. Citrus trees from more hardy to least hardy are ranked as kumquat, satsuma, orange, grapefruit, lemon, and lime.
With citrus trees, Fontenot also provided recommendations. "The recommendation is not to do anything too hastily," he said. "As far as citrus trees, don't start pruning all branches right now because it's a wait and see. If any of the branches have died, don't just start pruning off branches, stems, and limbs. People should wait to see what emerges in the spring and then, from there, take off the dead foliage."
People in the area enjoy planting in their gardens winter crops such as radishes, lettuce, peas, potatoes, spinach, and other leafy greens. According to Fontenot, these crops should have withstood the freezing conditions. He said that the weather, "may set them back a little bit." He added, "there may be a little leaf yellowing, but, for the most part, most of the winter Cole crops are going to withstand this freezing conditions."
As far as area yards, Fontenot advised that grass is dormant right now. "There really shouldn't be any damage to them," he said. "We would have had to stay cold and freezing for a lot longer for there to be grass damage."

"What you're trying to hide won't stay hid."
One of humanity's most primal stories is reimagined with compassion and poetry in this ambitious offering from our Friends & Neighbors Festival. Jocasta is a young black woman in depression-era Texas, who decides to pass as white in the big city. When she marries Laius—the heir to an oil baron—and becomes pregnant with Oedipus, her racial identity cannot remain hidden…or can it? One desperate lie instigates a catastrophic wave of bloodshed, and disaster envelops a nation.
Jacqueline E. Lawton (Playwright) received her MFA in Playwriting from the University of Texas at Austin, where she was a James A. Michener Fellow. She participated in the Kennedy Center's Playwrights' Intensive (2002) and World Interplay (2003). She is the author of Anna K; Blood-Bound and Tongue Tied; Deep Belly Beautiful; The Devil's Sweet Water; The Hampton Years; Ira Aldridge: The African Roscius; Lions of Industry, Mothers of Invention; Love Brothers Serenade and Mad Breed.
Lawton's work has been developed and presented at the following venues: Active Cultures, Classical Theater of Harlem, Folger Shakespeare Library, theHegira, Howard University, Kennedy Center's Page to Stage Festival, Rorschach Theater Company, Shakespeare Theatre Company, Source Theatre Festival, Theater J, and Woolly Mammoth Theater Company. She has received commissions from Active Cultures Theater, Discovery Theater, the Hurston/Wright Foundation, National Portrait Gallery, National Museum of American History, Round House Theatre and Theater J. She is published in Experiments in a Jazz Aesthetic: Art, Activism, Academia, and the Austin Project (University of Texas Press).
Lawton has been nominated for the Wendy Wasserstein Prize and a PONY Fellowship from the Lark Play Development Center. She was named one of 30 of the nation's leading black playwrights by Arena Stage's American Voices New Play Institute. Lawton is the recipient of numerous awards and fellowships including two Young Artist Program Grants from the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities for Playwriting; the Ellsworth P. and Virginia Conkle Endowed Scholarship for Drama; the Jean McKenzie Schenkkan Endowed Scholarship in Playwriting; and the Morton Brown, Nellie Lea Brown, and Minelma Brown Lockwood Endowed Scholarship in Playwriting. She is a three-time semi-finalist for the Playwright's Center PlayLabs, and a SheWrites Festival finalist. Currently, she resides in D.C. and is a Professor of Theater at the University of the District of Columbia.

| 8.8°C Dublin
Charlie Adam's first goal for Stoke earned his side all three points against QPR to further increase the pressure on Mark Hughes.
Adam, a summer signing from Liverpool, opened his Potters account in the 52nd minute at the Britannia Stadium, tucking the ball away after it had been nodded his way by Jon Walters from a free kick.
The visitors swiftly went in search of a response and goalkeeper Asmir Begovic had to be alert to tip over a deflected shot from Adel Taarabt, who then twice dragged the ball across goal from useful positions.
But the goal proved enough to see off QPR, for whom Taarabt failed to convert a good opportunity in the first half.
Esteban Granero then brought an excellent save out of Begovic, but the visitors could not find the equaliser which was the very least they needed.
They are still without a win in the Premier League this term in a sequence that now extends to 11 matches, and have sunk back to the foot of the table.
The heat is truly on their manager Hughes, while his opposite number Tony Pulis will be relieved to see his side -- up to 12th -- register what was only their second win of the campaign.
The leveller would not come for the west London side, though, and they might have finished with a heavier defeat had Julio Cesar not denied substitute Michael Kightly in the closing stages.

Hypocrisy is not a new thing. Jesus Christ often condemned the hypocrites he encountered in His earthly ministry. He had no tolerance for hypocrites and viewed them with utter disgust. There is so much hypocrisy in our world today and it does not seem to ever go away. Perhaps it is because people are just not honest and react to circumstances and events emotionally and not rationally.
A good example of this occured just last week in the aftermath of the deadly shooting in a Connetticut elementary school where an entire kindergarten class was brutally murdered by a psycopathic killer. We were all shocked, saddened, and deeply grieved by the senseless murders of innocent children. The nation is still in deep mourning over this tragedy, and justly so.
The hypocrisy is evidenced in the fact that many of those who seem upset over this event to the point of shedding tears and being outraged and demanding new gun laws (the killer violated 41 existing laws) have absolutely no feelings for the approximate 3,000 unborn babies that were brutally murdered in their mother's wombs that same day in the United States alone.
I have no problem with the President of the United States wiping tears from his eyes as he address the nation about the kindergarten class tragedy. But why no tears EVER for the innocent, helpless babies being sucked out in pieces from the womb with a vacuum hose? The Center for Disease Control reported that 1,210,000 abortions occured in the United States in 2009 (the most recent statistics--why?). How many tears are shed for these victims of senseless murder? This is hypocrisy of the highest order!
Could it be that the number of abortions being committed with legal backing in the United States and the tragedy of Newtown, Ct. are somehow connected? Galatians 6:7 says, "God is not mocked, for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."

The world of the tattoos has changed a lot. Learn what the hottest trends in the women's tattoos are.
Over the past ten years, the world of the tattoos has changed enormously.
The opinion that the only ones who paint their bodies are the pirates, prisoners, punks and seamen whose shoulders provide the most detailed information about their love life and exactly which year they loved a particular woman vanished forever and unconditionally.
Nowadays anyone can get a tattoo. From a mark of a lower social status or rebelliousness, the tattoo has become an ornament, a sign of individualism and even a symbol of what is most dear and important to its owner.
The taboo that the tattoo is a "man's thing" also collapsed with tremendous force.
The contemporary girls get tattooed just as bravely as men. And, let's admit, if selected properly, the female tattoo can be a true work of art on the gentle body of its proud owner.
It is autumn. This is the best time for making a tattoo and if you are from those who barely waited for the hot sun rays to soften their impact on the skin, and you are about to head to the studio, take a look at the written below.
The types of tattoos (including the women's) are innumerable, and the diversity is infinite. Without trying to systematize the millions of different images, we decided to give you a few little tips on where and what is the most appropriate to paint on your body.
The choice of course remains yours.
The places where women can make a tattoo are thousands.
In fact, anyone can make a tattoo exactly where he wants. But since the women's bodies are different from the male, the tattoos and the places must be consistent with this peculiarity.
For example, the located in the lower back tattoos are much more suitable for women, and therefore have turned in the most popular among them.
If you have decided to make a floral or tribal guilloche pattern at the base of the spine, you can be sure that the image will fit perfectly. But you should be aware that this is the most commercial tattoo and there is a huge danger at the beach to meet at least 10 girls with similar images at the same place.

So, the first restaurant The Monster hits in Columbus, Ohio? A Turkish restaurant in the mall at Easton. There are Turkish restaurants in Ohio?
With the Turkish music playing and the room accented by tapestries and beautiful chandeliers it's a pleasant place to come. Is there a Turkish population in Columbus? Seems weird but it's been almost twenty years since The Monster has lived here.
Hummus, chicken adana kebab (ground chicken flavored with crushed red peppers grilled on flat skewers) and the dessert of the day is the call for lunch.
The bread is warm and crusty with an infused oil of what seems to be red peppers. It's nice. The hummus however has little taste save tahini. The Monster makes better and it's weirdly served with the same bread. Not an auspicious start to the meal.
The chicken is flavorful if not a bit dry. The side of steamed vegetables are absolutely tasteless and rubbery but the rice (made with a ton of butter it seems) is good.
The rice pudding dessert proves a highlight. Light, with hints of cinnamon, it is surprisingly tasty. What is not a highlight? The cheap ass spoon The Monster is given to eat it with. It's comically bent and feels like something you'd used at a school cafeteria. That anyone could look at this spoon and then give it to a customer is laughable.
The Monster grew up in Columbus and there's always a stab of nostalgia upon his return. But from now on he might look to hit the old favorites.
Why go? You could swing to Istanbul (Not Constantinople) for days.

Hi Jenny, I think I am caught up...I went back as far as Moira's Zen style embroidered fox which I would like to see, btw. What a fabulous trip you had and I learned so much from your wonderful posts and photos. I didn't even know parts of Australia were so tropical, had never heard of a cassowary bird or canonball tree. And as usual, what lovely eats. I too love train travel and it is the best for seeing the countryside. Love how you are taking the time to write about it all on your memory blocks. Thanks for sharing it all.

It has since eased up as traders take profits, and established strong support at $0.0229. This is an indicator that even after the slight drop driven by profit-taking, Tron (TRX)'s momentum is still upwards. In essence, a buy order at current prices or between $0.0229 and $0.0236 is a low-risk long trade. Buying at this price level would have a good exit point at $0.0275 on the 200-day MA on the 12-hour chart.
However, if the market drops and Tron (TRX) pushes below $0.0229, it would be a sign of increasing bear power, and a sign to go short. A short order between $0.0228 and $0.0227 would have a good exit point at $0.0220. That's the day's support on the 100-day MA. If Tron drops below this price, it could possibly drop to $0.0193, a significant support level on the 12-hour chart. It could also mark the beginning of a short-term bear run that could see Tron (TRX) drop going into the weekend.
IOTA started the day on a significant support level at $0.544, a price level at which, it had formed a double bottom. It has been on an uptrend from that price onwards, hitting a high of $0.578 in the day. However, it has since retraced to $0.563, a key support level on the 200-day moving average. This is a sign that bulls are in control of this market and that a buy order would yield some good returns in the day. To maximize potential returns, a buy order would best be made between $0.563 and $0.578. The best possible exit point for such an order would be at $0.755. That's a key resistance point on the 12-hour 200-day moving average.
However, if there is a volumes decline and IOTA (MIOTA) drops below the 100-day MA at $0.56, a sell order would hold the highest profit possibility. Such an order would have a good exit point at $0.544. That's a key support level, one at which, IOTA has gained significant support in the last 24 hours.
Monero (XMR)
Monero (XMR) has been trading in a range for the last 24 hours, below the 200-day moving average at $115.56, which is 200-day MA and support at $113.50. To make a trade in Monero (XMR), it would be best to wait until there is a clear break outside this range. If there is a break above $115.56 and past the day's high of $117, a long order would be ideal with a target of $129.78. That's the last high Monero has touched in the last 2 weeks, one that could be a good exit point from an intra-day trade.
However, if Monero (XMR) breaks below $113.50, a short order would have the highest profit potential with a profit target of $110.92. That's the last low it has touched in the last 24 hours, one that could be support in the next 24 hours.

Freedom of Information changes scrapped – Reprieve comment
March 1, 2016
The government has stepped back from proposals to amend the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act, after the commission set up to examine FOI found that it is "working well."
In its report, published today, the cross-party Commission on Freedom of Information found that there is "no evidence" in favour of changing the Act substantially. In some areas, the commission said, "the right of access should be increased." In a written statement published today, the government said that it agreed with several of the commission's key recommendations, and that it would "carefully consider" others.
The commission was set up last year, with the government saying at the time that it would examine whether FOI should be scaled back in order to protect "policy development."
Human rights organization Reprieve – which has previously used FOI to uncover information relating to UK involvement in covert drone strikes, and the CIA's torture programme – had expressed concern that any watering down of the Act would restrict the public's ability to hold the government accountable for human rights abuses.
Commenting, Maya Foa, a director at Reprieve, said:
"Freedom of Information plays a vital role in uncovering government wrongdoing – from waste and incompetence to complicity in human rights abuses. The government's plans to dilute FOI should never have been introduced, so the Commission's findings today are welcome. Let's hope this will make ministers think twice before attempting to undermine the British public's right to know."

Men often neglect their health and well-being due to a lack of awareness, poor health education, or behaviour patterns in their work and personal lives. Men have a reputation for avoiding the doctor, especially when the visit may involve sensitive issues. However, regualr check-ups are a must. They can help screen for diseases that may have no obvious symptoms in their early stages – such as prostate or testicular cancer. Here are some common health concers men should pay more aattention to.
Prostatitis is the term used to inflammation of the prostate gland. A farly common condition, it can be difficult to diagnose. Symptoms include:
- an urgent need to urinate
- pain or burning when urinating
- pelvic, groin, or lower back pain
Potstate enlargement is a common problem in middle-aged and older men. An enlarged prostate can press against the tube to the bladder(urethra) and interfere with the flow of urine. While not all men with an enlarged prostate have symptoms, some experience the following:
- feeling and urgent need to urinate
- difficulty starting urination
- need to urinate frequently
- a weak urine stream
- dribbling at the end of urination
Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed form of cancer in Canadian men. A man's chances of developing this type of cancer increase with age, especially from age 50 on. Prostate cancer doesn't usually produce any signs or symptoms in its early stages when treatment is most successful, so medical check-ps are vital. When symptoms are present, they may include:
- painful urination
- difficulty urinating
- pain in the pelvic area that lasts several weeks or more
- loss of appetite or unexplained weight loss
- needing to urinate more often, especially at night
Erectile dysfunction is the repeated inability to abtain an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. This is a very common condition, and there are a number of highly effective treatments.

Branding is employed to differentiate firms, items and solutions from each and every other, this can be by means of a name, symbol, style or personality. Practically each business in the globe has to think about itself a brand and that has provided rise to a huge quantity of branding consultants and branding agencies, which means there are lots of opportunities for young folks interested in the power of branding and with fresh tips for how brands can have a higher influence when and exactly where they want to.
Since we preserve ourselves up-to-date with the most current developments, WECREATE branding agency Hong Kong can assure that our special and revolutionary designs will produce a lasting impression on the consumers' minds and make them quickly recognize your brand anywhere. All through the years, our group has worked with numerous startups and Fortune 500 companies to refine their branding efforts or develop new brands from scratch.

Martin has effectively launched, branded, and rebranded businesses as both a client and a inventive consultant.
They are ranked No.two in Packaging Style, No.8 in Corporate Branding and No.11 across all disciplines in 2013 by the Style Week Survey (the survey uses information from the best international style awards to rank agencies inventive performance). Creating a sturdy and special identity is 1 of the most crucial procedures in generating a branding approach. This fits properly, I think, with your definition as I read it. The spot exactly where we differ is on the definition of branding, simply because branding extends inward and impacts and encompasses an organization's internal workings and behavior in techniques that marketing and advertising does not. Dragon Rouge is a fantastic agency, even so we try to maintain the focus on the ones that are specialized one hundred% on branding. There is a lot of cross-over between branding and design and style agencies so you may possibly also want to take a look at our list of style studios.
For organizations who wish to revitalize their brand or validate a re-positioning, the Sweet Spot Brand Positioning workout requires a number of types of investigation. Here's a significantly simpler (and much less pricey) employer branding video that's nevertheless successful. I bear in mind when this notion of brand turn out to be popular with my customers and they kept speaking about doing branding " which always seemed to be factors they have been performing to their buyers, i.e. cowboys to cows. Go For Top quality: You have to recognize the fact that Corporate Present not only aids in promotion but also in the branding of your company.
You will notice that organizations like Coca Cola, Apple and McDonald's all emphasize on the beauty and appeal of their brand, their merchandise and their image to the higher community. Celebration strategy firms are not there to rip you off, but there does want to be some protection for them and you require to know what that is. Study the T&Cs! Often, branding agencies and advertising agencies are observed as getting interchangeable entities.

Aqua Globes
OK, so this isn't technically about basketry, but almost all my plants are in my basket weaving room, so I guess that counts. If you are like me and alternate between over watering your plants and letting them dry complete out, then Aqua Globes are for you. You know, the hand blown glass spheres that you fill with water, stick into your house plants and leave them to water your plants slowly over the next two weeks? Yes, those. Well I wouldn't order them over the phone or online when they are now available at stores like Target and Walgreens. I purchased a set (the come in a box of two) one day on impulse as they were only $10 and my plants were desperate for help. Well after only a couple of weeks I was sold on them and ready to buy two more for my other plants. Since I have started using them my plants have never looked better. I have philadendrons and they were always so spindly and the leaves were always turning yellow and falling off. Now I have none of that and they are getting so much fuller.
You need to have fairly large pots though as the globes are about 3" in diameter and the "spout" is about 8" long and they would probably tip over a small plant. Mine last over two weeks before I have to refill them, but it seems to depend on the pot on how fast the water is drained. At first the difference in water absorption really had me freaked out that one of them was not working properly, but I refilled both and switched what pot they were in and the same pant just drank the water more slowly than the other. When you pull the Aqua Globes out of the pots to refill them it will look like the tips have been clogged with dirt, but that doesn't seem to be the case in reality. You just have to flush out the tip with water to refill them. Put them back into the plants and you are good for another couple of weeks.
Honestly I have no vested interest in Aqua Globes, but I do think they work just as promised on TV. I know so many of us are so busy all the time, what with so many baskets to weave, that we sometimes let other household chores fall by the wayside. This is an easy and actually pretty solution to a problem (that of course wouldn't exist in the first place if I could remember to water my plants!). Give Aqua Globes a try and let me know what you think.

I am ready to get a new board.
Mostly I am doing some basic freestyle: jumping, backrolls and will be looking at other old school / hooked tricks.
I am looking at the crazyfly line-up and initially thought about getting a Shox board.
However, a local shop seems to have a deal where the Raptor LTD is very similarly priced to the Shox board which makes me wonder:
Would I be happier with the Raptor LTD board.
Biggest drawback would seem that it is quite a bit stiffer and lets just say my landings are not always that great
However compared to my current board (crazyfly allround) it has channels and a bit of rocker so maybe the difference with my current higher flex board is not that big.
Last but not least: any recommendations about the size?
I was thinking about the 140CM.
I am quite tall (1,9 Meter) which makes me prefer the slightly wider stance but I am not that heavy (between 70 and 75 KG depending on the amount of chips I ate).
Usually I am kiting between 12-20 knots and I am guessing the extra few cm would help on the low wind days.
Hope to get some non sales pitch advise here.

Clear Cell Sarcoma of Kidney
In its classic form, the clear cell sarcoma of kidney (CCSK) consists of nests, cords, and sheets of somewhat monomorphic tumor cells with a high nucleus:cytoplasmic ratio. This particular focus lacks the delicate branching vascular network seen in a typical case. The clear cell appearance (caused by intercellular clear mucoid matrix) is also lacking here. Such cases need to be distinguished from blastema-predominant Wilms tumor.

In Anthony De Mello's book 'Awareness' he states:
"Self-observation means to watch everything in you and around you as far as possible and watch it as if it were happening to someone else. It means that you do not personalize what is happening to you. It means that you look at things as if you have no connection with them whatsoever."
I think what he was getting at is we can choose how we feel about any circumstance at any moment by adopting this thought process. It's similar to NLP's disassociation technique.
If you distance yourself from the negative feelings you can be more objective about what the situation actually means. "Seeing it as it is – NOT worse than it is" as Tony Robbins would say.
But also, distancing yourself from positive feelings and neutral feelings as well can be equally fruitful. With practice we can see that at any moment we can 'choose' to feel however we wish just by thinking it. Sounds implausible at first doesn't it? As I said – it takes practice.
Try it today and see how your experience, good or bad, alters.

You do realise that everything that has ever happened to you, good or bad, has brought you to where you are today.
You may be in a great place right now, so think if any tiny little thing in your past were different it would have changed your trajectory and you may well be in a very different place right now rather than where you are.
All those not so good places were necessary in order for you to be here.
If you're not in such a great place just realise that you are in one of those not so good places that will lead you to the great place later. So appreciate it for what it is.
Why only appreciate it later? Thank everything and everybody from your past for helping to get you here. Thank 'here' for being part of the journey that's going to get you 'there' in the future.
And always remember… in the depths of winter the blossom is waiting to bloom.
Who will you thank, and for what?

You know what I mean right? Sure you do. I could sit here and write a page of words that show you what they might be but I'd only be scratching the surface wouldn't I?
We've all got stuff going on that we say is this or that. But we know it's not. I mean it could look that way to the untrained eye, to the casual observer, but we know it's just a façade for what's really going on.
Take a good look at it today, be as honest with yourself as you can. Allow the discomfort or maybe even pain of looking at it to come through. Welcome it. Once we open the cupboard door and shine a light in there we can see there was nothing to be afraid of.
I know this'll be hard for a lot of people – me included, so lets all dig deep and give it a try.
What will you take a look at today?
Enjoy (if you can)
Filed under Self help
A while back when I was getting ready to launch my book 'How To Change Your Life One Day At A Time' I decided to create a street video to help promote it.
I had only one question that I wanted to ask of many complete strangers: WHAT ONE THING YOU WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE ABOUT YOURSELF?
I wanted to document how different people would answer the same question, based on their own lives and circumstances. What I found was in many, many cases their answer led me to ask another question, then another, then a final question. (A process I now call 'Crossing The River').
It was in these instances that those asked gave the most considered responses, delving deeper and deeper into the issue. In many cases they actually answered the most penetrating question they had probably been asked in years, if not decades.
They were as surprised by their answers as I was.
Remarkable considering that not one interview took more than two minutes to complete, AND they were complete strangers to me!
Many wanted to change things about their appearance, some about bad habits they had and some about the way they thought about themselves or others. I was moved and surprised at just how candid these people were, how open. I sincerely hope that some of them went home that day and actually made the change they said they wanted.
So what are the four questions you MUST ask yourself if you want to make any change in your life, whether it's to do with your relationships, your achievements, your lifestyle, your health, wealth and happiness or your career?
Bare in mind the change MUST be about YOU – not your boss, or your neighbour, or the economy or anything else that you cannot influence.
Get Help
Let me suggest that you get someone else to ask you these questions – a close friend or family member or even a colleague. Answer the first one before getting them to ask the second. Then answer that before they ask you the third, and so on.
Answer as quickly as possible too as this is where the revelation is, when your mind doesn't have time to dwell on and possibly filter the answer. It doesn't take long – as I said, of the 30 or so interviews I did on that cold day in February, not one took longer than two minutes!
Crossing The River
Here are the 4 questions:
1. What is the ONE thing you'd like to change about YOURSELF today? (This is not about your circumstances, this is about YOU.)
2. Why do you want to make that change?
3. How will you make that change?
4. What's stopping you?
Make a note of them, then forget about them until you have chosen someone to help you with this insightful exercise. If you decide you want to do them on your own then answer the first question NOW. Quick – answer!

I was chatting with James Arthur Ray, of hit movie 'The Secret' fame the other day. When I say chatting – I mean I commented on his blog post and he replied. 🙂
I've been reading his latest 'Do You Love Life or Fantasy' series and I recommend you take a look CLICK HERE
If you're not familiar with James then Google him, but believe me when I say he's been through the biggest battle of his life recently.
How we 'think' at difficult times is THE KEY to moving through the experience, and coming out the other side more swiftly and with hope for a brighter future.
His posts led me to formulate a process called The 3 'A's:-
James has his own variation where he adds another two 'A's – Act and Adjust.
If you've been through a battle recently, or are in the midst of one now – consider these today. And please take a look at James' blog posts, they're insightful.

What if you could … what?
What if you could meet the partner of your dreams? What if you could be as fit as a top athlete? What if you could achieve all of your goals systematically. What if you could have the job you love doing?
We spend so much of our time thinking that we can't, we forget to consider if we could.
What's the point you might be asking.
Apart from the fact that thinking about achieving something that would make us feel great actually starts to make us feel great – the very act of thinking in that way actually makes us consider opportunities and options that we are blind to when we're busy thinking we can't.
Think about it – if I ask you to think of three reasons why you'll never win the lottery, it's impossible for you to come up with ways that you could win.
If I said look around where you are right now and find ALL the red things, you wouldn't notice all the blue things because that's not where you are putting your focus. You'd miss all the blue things.
Likewise with continually thinking you can't – you miss those opportunities in front of you that may just prove that you can.
Try that today – just allow yourself to daydream about all the things you'd like in your life and, just for the purposes of dreaming, imagine that you can have those things. Ask yourself: What if I could…?
See what happens.

Kaishou Rie goes to a party as her father's Proxy and meets Yuuki Shinjuurou and his assistant Inga who takes on the investigation of a murder that occurs at the party.
First Impression:
The start of the episode was an eye catcher, but then suddenly it's about a murder at the ball. Not that it was bad, it was just that the mystery itself was pretty easy to solve. Right off the bat I became suspicious of Atsuko the minute she handed Rei the drink that she'd be the murderer. Her intention was to let her husband die as a hero instead of being tainted by his arrest was unexpected since we knew nothing about the prior war and Kanou's involvement.
Kaishou Rie seems to be trying to follow her father's foot steps into becoming a great detective, or at the very least trying to imitate him as a good proxy when she was accused Kanda and Ono for the murder. It would be good to see her improve over time if she ends up having a lot of screen time.
As for Yuuki. He's pretty awesome. It was interesting when he had said: By calling him in means a major murder will happen. Sure enough that's what happened. Strangely enough, I found that we didn't really see much of his character and learn much about him except for the fact he had received the public's title as, "The Defeated Detective" despite having solved quite a bit of cases.
I ended up confuse with Igna's gender after he had took on his true form and became a female. I don't get it, but I love his power and creepy personality.
Extra Note: On November 19th 2011, UN-GO Episode 0: Inga-ron will air. This will be a pre-sequel to this show and tell us how Yuuki and Inga had met. I'm actually kind of surprised that they didn't air this first.

by Matt Slick
If Jesus is not God, then explain . . .
- Why Thomas calls Jesus God in John 20:28? (Note, Thomas addresses Jesus specifically).
- Why does God call Jesus God in Heb. 1:8?
- Why does John the apostle state that Jesus was the Word which was God that became flesh (John 1:1, 14)?
- Why is the phrase "Call upon the name of the LORD" (Hebrew, YHWH, i.e., Psalm 116:4) used only of God on the OT and translated into the Greek in the LXX as "Call upon the name of the LORD (greek, "KURIOS") applied to Jesus in the NT (1 Cor. 1:2) if Jesus is not God in flesh?
- Why does the apostle John say that Jesus was " . . . calling God His own Father, making Himself equal to God." (John 5:18)?
- What did Jesus say that caused the Pharisees to claim that Jesus was making Himself out to be God (John 8:58)?
- How was it possible for Jesus to know all things (John 21:17)?
- How can Jesus know all men (John 16:30)?
- How can Jesus be everywhere (Matt. 28:20)?
- How can Jesus, the Christ, dwell in you (Col. 1:27)?
- How can Jesus be the exact representation of the Nature of God (Heb. 1:3)?
- How can Jesus be eternal (Micah 5:1-2)?
- How can Jesus be the one who gives eternal life (John 10:27-28)?
- How can He be our only Lord and Master (Jude 4)?
- How can Jesus be called the Mighty God (Isaiah 9:6) if there is only one God in existence (Isaiah 44:6-8; 45:5)?
- How can Jesus be called the Mighty God (Isaiah 9:6) and "God" also be called the Mighty God in Isaiah 10:21?
- How was Jesus able to raise Himself from the dead (John 2:19-21)?
- How can Jesus create all things (Col. 1:16-17), yet it is God who created all things by Himself (Isaiah 44:24)?
- How can Jesus search the hearts and minds of the people (Rev. 2:23)?
- Why was Jesus worshiped (Matt. 2:2, 11; 14:33; 28:9; John 9:35-38; Heb. 1:6) when He says to worship God only (Matt. 4:10)? (same Greek word for worship is used in each place.)
- In the OT God was seen (Exodus 6:2-3; 24:9-11; Num. 12:6-9; Acts 7:2), yet no man can see God (Exodus 33:20; John 1:18). It was not the Father that was seen in the OT (John 6:46). Who, then were they seeing? See John 8:58.
- Then why did Jesus claim the divine name, "I AM" for Himself in John 8:58? see Exodus 3:14.
- Then why did Jesus say you must honor him even as you honor the Father (John 5:23)?
- Then why is it that both the Father and the Son give life (John 5:21)?
- Then why did Jesus bear witness of Himself (John 8:18; 14:6)?

Alfred Nzo District Municipality is located on the north-eastern side of the Province of the Eastern Cape and stretches from the Drakensberg Mountains, borders Lesotho in the North, Sisonke District Municipality in the East and O.R. Tambo District Municipality in the South. In preparation for the 2011 Local Government Elections, the Demarcation Board in terms of the Demarcation Act of 2008 as amended declared the changes in some municipalities (inter-boundaries) where some local municipalities were to be moved from the other district municipalities to the other and also the amendment of municipal wards boundaries. Through that Alfred Nzo District Municipality is one of the affected district municipalities where it was declared that two Local Municipalities from O.R. Tambo District Municipality being Mbizana and Ntabankulu will be incorporated under Alfred Nzo District Municipality in the process. Circular No. 54 of the Municipal Finance Management Act No. 56 0f 2003, gives guidance in terms of preparations and adoption periods of Municipal IDPs and Budgets for 2011/12 considering the changes that will take place due to the Local Government Elections. In terms of the National Treasury, the affected municipalities by the Demarcation process when doing their planning in terms of Integrated Development Plans and Budget for 2011/12 should take into consideration the proposed changes as a result of the demarcation process. Circular 54 of the Municipal Finance Management Act of 2003 further gives options in terms of the time period for the municipalities to adopt their IDPs in preparation for the changes as a result of elections. The district municipality together with its local municipalities resolved to adopt Option 1 where both IDP and Budget will be adopted by the current Council and the new Council will have to endorse the adopted IDP and Budget by its predecessor.
The District surface area has increased due to incorporation of Mbizana and Ntabankulu Local Municipalities from 6858 to 11119 square kilometers and is now sub-divided into four local municipalities: Matatiele covering 4352 km² (39% coverage of district area), Umzimvubu 2506 km² (23% coverage of district area), Mbizana 2806 km² (25% coverage of district area) and Ntabankulu occupying 1455 km² (13% coverage of district area). The process also entailed the amendment of all four municipalities' wards where the wards for Umzimvubu LM increased from 24 to 27 due to some wards from Ntabankulu Municipality being incorporated under Umzimvubu Local Municipality; Matatiele 24 to 26; Mbizana from 25 to 31 and Ntabankulu from 15 to 18 wards. The changes resulted in Alfred Nzo District Municipality being formed by a total of 102 wards.
There is a multitude of policy and legislation that Municipalities must comply with and take cognisance of, the most important of which are the following;

More than 40 members of Daesh (ISIL) terrorist group were killed and several others captured by the Iraqi forces in an operation to clear the remnants of terrorists in Hawija district, west of Kirkuk.
During the first day of a major military operation to cleanse the Hawija District of Daesh terrorists, the Iraqi Army forces, backed by the voluntary forces (known as the Popular Mobilization Units or Hashid al-Shaabi), shot down more than 40 terrorists hidden in an inn in al-Abbasi region, Alsumaria News quoted a local officials as saying on Thursday.
Ten Daesh members were also in the operation in the district, 50 southwest of Kirkuk.
The Iraqi military forces, led by the 9th Armored Division, have begun an operation to clear remaining pockets of Daesh around the northern city of Kirkuk.
A Hashid al-Shaabi spokesperson has announced that the operation targets Daesh "sleeper cells" in Hawija, Mount Hamrin and Zarga areas and as far south as Salahuddin Governorate, The Defense Post reported.
Survivors of Daesh continue to carry out sporadic terrorist attacks in Iraq, although the self-proclaimed caliphate of the terrorist group fell in November 2017.
Daesh seized control of large parts of Iraq and neighboring Syria in 2014, declaring a cross-border caliphate and committing widespread atrocities.
Iraqi forces gradually retook control of all territory lost to the group over the last three years. Experts warn that ISIL remains a threat, with the capacity as an insurgent group to carry out high-casualty bomb attacks using sleeper cells.

People often say to me, "Rusty, dancing is easy for you! You're a natural born dancer." At this point, I have to do everything in my power to not:
1. Laugh out loud2. Go into a mighty rage.
Why, you ask, would I have either of these reactions? The answer is easy. I was definitely NOT a natural born dancer.
If I was a natural born anything, it was a natural born klutz!
So when I hear "Rusty, dancing is easy for you! You're a natural born dancer," which is at least once a week from new students or dance hopefuls, I really want to burst out laughing at how absurd that comment is, especially for me.
The reason I have the second reaction, the one of impending rage, is that I want to blurt out, "How can you say that? Don't you have any idea of the amount of time, sweat, tears, joy, aggravation, elation, etc., that I have put into dancing just to manage to get where I am? By saying I'm a "natural born dancer" they are taking away all those hours, hours, hours, years, and years that I have put into dancing.
Of course, I will say that I am a natural born optimist, and that sure helped. Even as a little girl, I just attacked with gusto anything I wanted to do, even though I was rarely really good at anything when I started. I just had that "stick-to-it-ness". Thank goodness!
As you can see by my recital clip... I was definitely NOT a Natural Born Dancer, and it's a good thing I started dancing at 6 years old, because it was going to take a LONG, LONG time before I got good at it!
So, when people say, "Rusty, dancing is easy for you! You're a natural born dancer" I control myself and smile and say, "Naw. Nobody's a natural born dancer. We all have the same path to become a dancers and that's simply the time we put into it. Dancing is a journey, not a destination. So enjoy the journey... as you'll always be in it."
This is one of the greatest talks about creativity I've ever heard. He really hits the nail on the head with this brief explanation why it's hard to stick with something, like dancing, until you get good. Watch it, and just substitute the word "dancing" and see how it works.

A Getaway to New Hampshire's White Mountains
A Romantic Weekend at Sugar Hill Inn, Fraconia, NH
The morning sun seemed as lazy as we were, hiding behind mountain mist and a curtain of clouds until well into the morning. When the sun finally showed itself, its rays glistened on the snow outside our window and made the ice on the nearby mountains sparkle with their own internal fire. Even the lone apple tree in the field across the road cast its own artwork of shadows across the snow at its feet.
It was only the tantalizing aroma of gingerbread pancakes and the sizzle of sausages that got my wife and me out of our comfortable bed and downstairs to breakfast.
And what a breakfast! Breakfast for us turned out to be cinnamon raisin bread French toast with locally produced maple syrup, sweet breakfast sausages, grapes, juice, and Orlo's homemade muffins.
Just like everything at Sugar Hill Inn, the breakfast exceeded our expectations. I suspected that our host even baked the raisin bread used in the thick French toast, since he had baked the previous evening's dinner bread, along with cookies and scones for afternoon tea and of course the muffins that are featured in every morning's breakfast. I love fresh bread! And muffins. And scones. And cookies….
We took our coffee from the spacious dining room into one of the inn's cozy living areas to plan our day. Sugar Hill Inn features a small tavern to one side of the lobby is where they serve afternoon tea. To the other side is the dining room, large enough for a wedding reception or a Christmas banquet, and another living area with the inn's only television set. But no television for us, we had New Hampshire to explore, and romance to discover.
Our ambles through the countryside took us through Franconia Notch State Park, the home of, what used to be New Hampshire's famous natural stone face — the old man of the mountain. We rode the high-speed tram to the top of Cannon Mountain, over 4000 feet in elevation, and gazed in amazement at other mountains that still towered over us. Once we were back at the foot of the Cannon Mountain, we toured the ski museum and made plans to come back tubing on Sunday. The Bear Peak, Attatash, and Bretton Woods ski areas are within driving distance, but with Cannon right around the corner and with the discount lift tickets available from the inn, it's difficult to imagine going anywhere else for skiing.
It's amazing how quiet the mountains are. The city noises are so constant, you seldom stop to think about the incessant whir of motors and air conditioners, the noises of traffic and fire engines, or the roar of planes as they ferry people from city to city. But New Hampshire's White Mountains were quiet — almost silent — in the snow.
A pleasant drive took us through the back roads looking at the snow, then a stop at the Harman's Cheese and Country Store for two-year aged cheddar cheese, a look-see at their albums of historical postcards, and a few samples of salsa and jams, and then back to Sugar Hill Inn for dinner.
Saturday's dinner began with a ginger-spiced pumpkin soup and a basket of warm fresh bread. Mesclun greens and julienne vegetables in the salad were complimented by the light cider-shallot vinaigrette dressing. My entree was grilled black angus sirloin with cracked black pepper and grilled tomatoes. My sweetheart chose the grilled tuna steak with a maple-balsamic glaze, served with red cabbage. The recommended wine for the tuna was the Chateau St. Michelle Johannisberg Reisling, while the Beringer Cabernet Sauvignon was recommended for my sirloin. For dessert, we chose a chocolate pâté so deep and rich that the chocolate liqueur wafted up from it as we ate it with our coffee.
The inn was wonderfully romantic, with fireplaces, quiet corners to read, and beautiful mountain views. We had come for Sugar Hill Inn's Valentine package, featuring two nights at the inn, with gourmet dinner, wine, afternoon tea, and, of course, breakfast. And romance was practically guaranteed, with nothing but beautiful scenery in quiet New Hampshire's White Mountains, cozy chairs and fireplaces, and a big bed waiting for us at night. Our room had wonderful views of the mountains and Franconia Ridge, and several of the rooms in the inn have been upgraded to include Jacuzzis and gas fireplaces.
Sugar Hill Inn features a variety of packages throughout the year, from March's Maple Sugaring Weekend, to packages for autumn "leaf peepers". A sure favorite will be the inn's "Guest Chef Series", that features dinners prepared by some of New England's finest chefs as part of a weekend to remember. These special packages keep the inn's 15 rooms filled, making early reservations important almost any time of the year.
From spring through autumn, the inn's wide, slate paved veranda with its planters and deep overhang draws visitors to its shade, cool breezes, wicker furniture, and wonderful views of the mountains. During the winter, the inn's cozy lobby, intimate tavern, and modern living room are the visitor's favorites.
The subtle tilt to the floors and occasional unexpected steps up or down remind visitors that the Sugar Hill Inn had started as a farmhouse in 1789. It began service as an inn in 1929, with the addition of the dining room and rooms above. With other additions over the years, including the separate cabins with their own wide front porches, the inn has maintained the feel of the original farmhouse, with heavy ceiling timbers and hardwood floors.
Franconia was established as a center of iron production during the early 1800's. The old furnace for the iron mill still stands like a stone watchtower on the bank of the Gale River, though its encompassing mill building has long ago vanished. Feeding this mill charcoal made from local timber, along with building fences and roads, had stripped the local hills and mountainsides of forests creating the scenery featured in the classical Courier and Ives etchings of the rolling hills of New England. But in the last 100 years, the forests have regrown and they now teem with wildlife and explode with color in the autumn.
During the 1940's and 50's, the village of Sugar Hill had been a summer getaway for the well-heeled and well-connected, drawn there by Peckett's, a grand hotel, now gone with the passing of the era. The families of bankers and doctors would spend all summer relaxing and recreating, horseback riding or playing tennis or swimming, with dad visiting only on weekends. Sugar Hill Inn hosted summer staff for Peckett's, one of which was Betty Davis, who loved the inn so much that she returned year after year, and in later years even used the inn as her secret hideaway when visitors to her nearby home become too much to bear.
Robert Frost also kept a home in Franconia, now converted to a museum to honor the poet. With so much history packed into the area, both Franconia and Sugar Hill have museums. During our stay, we couldn't tour the heritage museums, since they are open in the summer only, but the beautiful countryside and the interesting architecture more than made up for it.
The Fraconia/Sugar Hill area is now destination for skiers, hikers, and nature lovers, along with having plenty of interest for antique hunters and history buffs. The Sugar Hill Inn is a great place to stay for all of them. The inn also features a spa treatments by Judy Coots, for inn guests only. Judy is a graduate of both the Elizabeth Grady School of Esthetics and the Massage Institute of New England.
As a seasoned business traveler, I see the Sugar Hill Inn as an excellent location for a sales conference or perhaps a week-long business retreat. But as a lover of nature, of history, and romance, I see it even more as the perfect place for getting away for the weekend with someone you care about.
Sugar Hill Inn can be found on Route 117, north of the Franconia Notch State Park and just outside of Franconia, New Hampshire, an easy morning's drive from Rhode Island. You can contact them at 800-548-4748 or email at email@example.com.
