Looks like a mechanical process, huh? Not so simple – mean mortals with several years of training, would take about 5 to 6 days of time to harmonize a typical Indian film song , with the hope that the end result is good. Of course, they would also attempt to try out their notes by playing some instrument as a validation tool. Very talented music composers can perhaps do this in 2 days or so, with a lot of trial and error allowed. Of course, none of these guys can mess around with CCM, without seriously breaking WCM rules as that is pretty hard stuff. Raja does all this magic in 45 minutes with no musical instrument. While some WCM trained professional music composer may find a few awkward intervals that they would stay away from, they cannot complain about any of the WCM harmony rules being broken (exception of intervals in heavily CCM based music). He keeps experimenting, but never stays away from documenting his music. Once his main tune is played back (the filmy style thathakaram) to him by his assistant, he starts writing his 4-part harmony after that – he simply says 'music happens'. If you find everything that we have discussed in this topic way too technical, remember this – modulation and chord progression – Raja is the real king of this business.
What we have discussed still will create homophony. Think of adding counterpoints to this mix, and you can imagine the complexity. It is like adding another melody line to the score. He does not take additional time because he has counterpoints in his compositions! In his score sheet, he even notates which key on a Korg synthesizer should be used in a particular phrase! As his voice conductor Joseph Sabastian said in an interview,' we have not seen Mozart, but I will tell my grandchildren proudly that I worked with Ilayaraja'.
It is important to understand that most MDs understand harmonization and chord progressions. Doing this is a matter of being a MD and does not make you a genius. How can you take up a CCM/HCM based tune and now start harmonizing it with the interludes being CCM/WCM or both? How can you do this so casually when others sweat over it? And while repeatedly doing it (honoring all harmony and CCM rules), how can one easily throw musically complex counterpoints to it and still come out with such pleasant melodious hits? There are several Raja songs where the counterpoint consists of more than two melodies, there are four at times! Think of imagining all this in your head before the first bow touched the string or the first breathe ever passed a flute. And finally, how can you do all this magic in 45 minutes and never go back to revise the composition? Here is a walking musicopedia who can easily write a score for a film song, an instrumental album such as How to Name it (this was written by Raja during lazy afternoon hours when he was supposed to take a break!) or a symphony or an oratorio (Thiruvasagam in Symphony). He says it's all the same for him! He takes the flexibilities provided by both the systems (WCM and CCM) and does not worry too much about their constraints. He figured a set of unwritten rules for such a fusion and has been very successful in easily moving between both the systems, making some pundits from both the camps wonder at him and critics ridicule him at the same time – that's perhaps a counterpoint of views! Fortunately, he documents his entire work – this should serve as research material for future generations. Going by the complexity of some of his compositions, it should take decades if not a century to figure out what he has already figured out!

Hackers are turning their attention to a weak link in bank security - bank executives who work from home.
According to the Guardian , hackers have been systematically attacking the Royal Bank of Scotland by sending keyloggers - software which records keystrokes - in emails to management working from home, in attempts to gain their passwords. These incidents are now being investigated by the Serious and Organised Crime Agency .
The issue remains a growing problem, with more and more people working from home. According to the Equal Opportunities Commission , over 60 per cent of the UK's population want the option of flexible working.

Hi John, Obviously there is no right or wrong here, since we're expressing opinions. But... > I tend to prefer language design in which the default expresses what people > are most likely to do, rather than a default imposed by historical precedent... You could just as well argue that the most useful default values are actually those that would be used by new authors. Advanced users are not going to be overly worried about having to write @method="post", or whatever. But a new author coming from HTML might find carefully chosen default values a useful way of getting up to speed. So the notion of "what people are most likely to do" would depend on who these "people" are. > ...particularly when the historical precedent imposes exactly the mess we were > trying to get out of with the new language (flat tag-value pair data structures, in > this case). I just booked some flights and bought some books using this historical mess, so even if a little untidy, it has its uses. :) But more broadly I think we need to be wary of trying to tidy everything up so that it fits into our world view. XForms solves lots of problems, such as having a mark-up language to define forms, and being able to handle XML natively. But we don't have to also insist that everyone changes their server-side processing to use XML. XForms allows us to manipulate XML (i.e., not name/value pairs) but still send the information as a GET request (perhaps with name/value pairs), which to me is an ideal solution. This is even more important given the success of RESTful approaches and the niche use of SOAP; GET is not going away any time soon. > It seems reasonable to say that submission with an expressed method="get" still > lets us talk to legacy non-XML systems. With respect, we do have to be wary of everything looking like a nail when carrying a hammer. :) Why is a non-XML system a 'legacy' system? Early versions of the XForms spec made the mistake of trying to deprecate GET, which was luckily removed. But even then the spec didn't feature DELETE, which now has luckily been added. We could have avoided both glaring omissions if we had been looking more closely at what it is that people are doing *now* with web architecture, and then looked at where XForms could fit into that broader architecture. > Even in the light of syntactic softening we want for XForms 1.2, it does not > seem to be a big problem. An unexpressed XForms submission implied by > an HTML form would have an expressed method="get" because that is the > HTML default. It is no different than saying the HTML form tag's action attribute > implies a resource attribute on submission (because the action attribute of > submission is deprecated). It's true, that could be done.

School is starting, work seems more intense than normal, and my stress level is high.
I'm so excited for my 3 day break tomorrow.
I have crafts, goodies, and relaxation planned.
But before I'm off to work I thought I would post my latest giveaway.
Today I'm doing a 3 book giveaway.
I thought I would give 3 books away this time since these are paperback.
They are all teen award winners.
The titles are "Looking for Alaska" by John Green, "Speak" by Laurie Halse Anderson,
and "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian" by Sherman Alexie.
"Looking for Alaska"
by John Green
Miles Halter is fascinated by famous last words and tired of his safe life at home. He leaves for boarding school to seek what the dying poet Francois Rabelais called the "Great Perhaps." Much awaits Miles at Culver Creek, including Alaska Young. Clever, funny, screwed-up, and dead sexy, Alaska will pull Miles into her labyrinth and catapult him into the Great Perhaps.
Looking for Alaska brilliantly chronicles the indelible impact one life can have on another. A stunning debut, it marks John Green's arrival as an important new voice in contemporary fiction.
Looking for Alaska brilliantly chronicles the indelible impact one life can have on another. A stunning debut, it marks John Green's arrival as an important new voice in contemporary fiction.
by Laurie Halse Anderson
Since the beginning of the school year, high school freshman Melinda has found that it's been getting harder and harder for her to speak out loud: "My throat is always sore, my lips raw.... Every time I try to talk to my parents or a teacher, I sputter or freeze.... It's like I have some kind of spastic laryngitis." What could have caused Melinda to suddenly fall mute? Could it be due to the fact that no one at school is speaking to her because she called the cops and got everyone busted at the seniors' big end-of-summer party? Or maybe it's because her parents' only form of communication is Post-It notes written on their way out the door to their nine-to-whenever jobs. While Melinda is bothered by these things, deep down she knows the real reason why she's been struck mute: Andy Evans. He's a senior at Melinda's high school, and Melinda hasn't been able to speak clearly since the Incident with him at the senior party last August.
"The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian"
In his first book for young adults, bestselling author Sherman Alexie tells the story of Junior, a budding cartoonist growing up on the Spokane Indian Reservation. Determined to take his future into his own hands, Junior leaves his troubled school on the rez to attend an all-white farm town high school where the only other Indian is the school mascot. Heartbreaking, funny, and beautifully written, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, which is based on the author's own experiences, coupled with poignant drawings by acclaimed artist Ellen Forney, that reflect the character's art, chronicles the contemporary adolescence of one Native American boy as he attempts to break away from the life he was destined to live.

It's time for a roundup of the best beauty products I have gotten my hands on this year. So many goodies, so little time. But here's what made my Top 10 list.
Seaweed Pore Minimizer – I have oily, acne prone skin, so large pores and shine are always a problem. This year I discovered the Seaweed line at The Body Shop and fell in love. I use this pore minimizer before my primer for additional shine control. I also think it helps prevent breakouts.
The Body Shop Instablur – This is definitely one of my top finds of the year. Shine is gone in an instant and stays gone all day. I have even been known to carry it in my purse for a quick touchup if we have been out and about all day. It's colorless and provides a great photo finish.
They're Real! Mascara – While I still love my Tarte Lights, Camera, Flashes for huge statement eyes, They're Real! has become my "everyday" mascara. It's fabulous. Great volume. Great length. No clumps.
Manna Kadar Blush – This is a lightweight, long-wearing blush available in several colors. It blends easily.
Cynthia Rowley Eyeliner in Silver – I love this eyeliner. It glides on with no pulling. The silver shimmer makes your eyes pop. When I pair it with green eye shadow and the compliments don't stop.
Coastal Scents Eyeshadow – While you can get Coastal Scents in some big, affordable palettes, there are just a few shades I wear constantly.
Malin + Goetz Lip Balm – Best. Balm. Ever. Sure you have a dozen peachy-pinky-fruit lip balms, but do you have a clear lime mojito flavored one? I can use a tube up in no time.
Acure Brightening Face Scrub – Some scrubs can be a little too irritating and harsh. Not this one. It's the perfect blend of clay, sea kelp and exfoliants. You will look refreshed and your skin will feel smooth. You can use it up to three times per week.
Julep Bare Face – When I first got this oil cleanser from Julep I thought there is no way I can use an oil cleanser, I have oily skin. Wrong! This stuff is awesome. It leaves your skin so smooth, clean and soft. It also melts away waterproof mascara in a snap without being harsh or drying. It's my go-to cleanser.
Tea Tree Mask – So I love the Tea Tree Mask from The Body Shop as well, but I'm not seeing available anywhere online at the moment. That leads me to believe maybe it is being replaced with something even better. If you have acne prone skin and can still find a tub, grab it. Otherwise, I would love to hear about your favorite mask in the comments.
Don't forget a lot of beauty retailers are running After Christmas Sales this week. Check out a few of the best offers here and you may be able to pick up some of the above ideas at a huge discount.

Quick Hits: Girl Scout debt badge. Robert Kearns wasted his life. Procrastinatrix wanted.
- I love being a Daddy. I've got three kids, and they're great. They're also a huge responsibility. There are so many things they have to be taught before they become a fully grown adult that can be released into the world. They need to know how to succeed in all the areas of their life. It's tempting to offload your parental responsibilities to other authorities, like teachers and pastors, but don't do it. For example, financial education, if it happens at all, is coming from some of the worst sources. Practical Money Skills sounds like a good thing, until you notice that it's distributed by Visa and includes lessons like "Financing Your Education" and "Why Credit Matters." Even the Girl Scouts have gotten into the act by giving the girls a chance to earn their Good Credit Badge as a part of their cookie sales. Don't let your kids grow up to believe that debt is OK, because it's not.
- If you are a creator, maker, or artist, you might be worried about what it takes to protect your IP. It's a valid concern, but I would ask that you first heed the warning of the life of Robert Kearns. It's a cautionary tale for us all, because it's easy to lose focus when we feel we've been wronged. But our crusade can quickly squeeze out the resources we have to grow and produce. Remember that your first order is to bring your creations and beauty into the world. It's how you serve your fellow man, and how you fulfill your purpose. Don't waste that.
- There are days when just staying on schedule and finishing everything that needs to be finished is a struggle. Apparently, I need a procastinatrix. I'd better be careful when I'm interviewing someone to fill that role, though.

The title of this post is the first part of a title of a new book by Ben Lindburgh and Travis Sawchik. The remainder of the title is "How Baseball's New Noncomfortists Are Using Data to Build Better Players." Initially HM read this book purely for his own interest in baseball, and he would recommend this book to anyone interested in baseball. But HM encountered topics integral to the Healthymemory blog including fixed mindset, growth mindsets, deliberate practice, and GRIT. So this book could be regarded as applying principles in the healthy memory blog to baseball.
A good place to begin this post is with Branch Rickey. Branch Rickey is famous for recruiting the first black player into the major leagues. Rickey was the general manager of the Dodgers (then in Brooklyn). Even though this was a major breakthrough in Civil Rights, Rickey's immediate goal was to build a contending major league baseball team. A further goal was to bring a higher quality to major league baseball. Prior to Jackie Robinson, Rickey developed a minor league system to provide polished players to major league baseball. Prior to Rickey, baseball suffered from a fixed mindset. That is, they believed that good baseball players were born and not made, and the job was to find these fellows and sign them for major league teams.
But Rickey had a growth mindset. He thought that minor league teams were needed so that new players could learn and master new skills. That was the purpose for these minor league teams. Rickey told his staff not to criticize a player's messed up play without telling them how to correct the error.
Remember that Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck has researched and developed the concept of growth mindsets. Anders Ericsson developed the concept of deliberate practice which takes place out of one's comfort zone and requires someone to constantly try things that are just beyond his or her current abilities. Thus it demands new-maximal effort, which is generally not enjoyable (enter "deliberate practice" into the search block at healthymemory.wordpress.com.)
Angela Duckworth developed the concept of GRIT, which refers to the mental toughness required to develop and master important skills. Once again there are many healthy memory blog posts so just enter GRIT is the search block as described above.
The best-selling book "Moneyball," described how sabermetrics were being used to develop a smarter type of baseball. This new book is moving beyond sabermetrics and using data to build better players. Much of this work is dependent upon new technology used to develop new metrics to capture human performance.
If you watch baseball on television, you are likely aware of some of this technology. When a player hits a home run stats on launch angle and speed appear on the screen. Technology has also been employed for pitching. Extremely high speed cameras enable the capturing of the spin rates and spin axis of the baseball. There had been an argument among pitchers whether they consciously released the ball when they threw it. The fast speed cameras revealed that pitchers don't release the ball by moving their fingers. Rather, the hand accelerates the ball linearly forcing the fingers to extend or open. These high speed cameras not only allow for pitchers to improve their throwing, but also allow for the creation of entirely new pitches. Using a knowledge of physics, the study of speed, spin rate, and spin axis new pitches can be theorized. Then pitchers learn how to change their throwing to produce the pitches. The effectiveness of these new pitches can be tested against a range of batters.
These technologies are allowing for marginal players to develop their skills to make or stay in the big leagues. The skills of even highly paid players deteriorate, This results in teams being stuck with high salaries for non producing players. However, the new technology provides a means of correcting and upgrading their skills. An assembly line of players at different skill levels can be developed so the they can step into active roles when needed. This is true for both pitchers and batters.
However, pitchers are at somewhat of an advantage. They produce a pitch, which might be the first time that the pitch has been thrown in a game, and batters are forced to react. So even though that batters are able to produce more home runs, new developments in pitches might reduce the total scoring. Fans need to wait and see, but they should be aware that they're currently watching a dynamic environment.
What the authors term "soft psychology" is playing a bigger and bigger role. The mind and mindfulness have important roles in baseball. First of all, there is the battle of the batter against the catcher and pitcher. This begins with the battle of minds in terms of what the batter expects and how the pitcher can foil the batter's expectations.
For individual players, baseball is a game of highs and lows. Batters fall into slumps. Pitchers discover that batters are starting to hit them hard, For professional players this goes beyond simple succeeding or failing, as large amounts of money can be at stake.
In spite of the conspicuous roles of individual players, baseball is a team game. Consequently, getting along with one's teammates is extremely important. It could be said that baseball calls for mindfulness all around.

Rotary in Pop Culture
Remember How Movies Can Help You: A) Entertain & Escape B) Re-energise & Release C) Insights, Epiphanies & AHA moments
No one wants to be the only one not laughing when someone quotes a popular show! If you stay current on emerging pop culture and read up on popular stuff from years past, you'll soon be a pop culture expert or a Rotarian.
It's craic to make a list of films & TV shows which mention Rotary in them and watch them, too.
Here's a "Back to the Future" Hill Valley sign in 1955 with Rotary emblem. The first object to greet his [Marty's] eye was the large sign at the corner of the square, at 2nd & Main Streets, Welcome to Hill Valley, it read. A Nice Place to Live. Symbols for the Rotary, Future Farmers of America, etc. decorated the sign like medals on an old soldier's chest. One logo not present which is often seen on many town or city signs was the Free & Accepted Masons, which suggests there is no Masonic lodge in Hill Valley. The City-limit signs with a Rotary emblem are a favourite Hollywood device for establishing a small-town ambiance.
Through the decades, Rotary has been mentioned and its logo shown in media. On this page, we have collated the more interesting ones, a testimony of public awareness about the organisation and how it stands for all things true and fair.
Viewers may have noticed that Detective Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby (John Nettles) in "Midsomer Murders" often wore a Rotary lapel pin.
In another detective series "A Touch of Frost", Detective Inspector Frost's (David Jason) chief, Superintendent Mullet (Bruce Alexander) is often going to/ coming from a Rotary dinner meeting.
My personal favourite is the true story "CATCH ME IF YOU CAN", 2002 bio-pic/crime-caper. The film begins at the Rotary Club awards banquet in New Rochelle, New York during a real Rotary meeting where Frank Sr. (Christopher Walken) is made a lifetime honourary Rotarian as he was a WWII Medal of Honor recipient.
In season four episode five of the Larry David show "Curb Your Enthusiasm", titled "The 5 Wood", David is trying to gain entrance into a golf country club. In the interview David makes up lies about himself, one of which being that he is a member of the Rotary Club as well as a Moose and an Elk.
In season four, episode two of "The Office", branch manager Michael Scott holds one of his notorious seminars which this one focusing on ageism in the workplace. He introduces the surviving founder of the Dunder-Miffin paper company, who mentions that he met the late co-founder when they were in the Rotary Club.
In the 2009 film "Extract", Nathan (David Koechner) spends most of the movie trying to get his neighbour Joel (Jason Bateman) & Suzie (Kristen Wiig) to attend a dinner held by his local Rotary Club. ***SPOILER ALERT : In the end, both Joel & Suzie finally attend the Rotary dinner.
In the final scene of "The Bodyguard" Frank Farmer (Kevin Costner) acts as a bodyguard to a guest speaker at the fictional Rotary Club of Iowa Rapids. The Crystal Ballroom of the Los Angeles Biltmore Hotel was used for this scene. Rotary International provided the club banner which hangs on the wall and over 100 Rotary lapel pins and name badges. At the very end, Frank scans the room, a Rotary flag prominently displayed at his side:

In other EDM news, Tomorrowland, the big fest held in the town of Boom, Belgium, just closed out on Sunday. Kaskade did a live stream from the Staples Center in LA, which Glitch was lucky enough to go to. And Hard Summer is coming up this weekend in Los Angeles!
Eric Prydz - Allein
Summer anthem anyone? Not necessarily brand spanking new as a track but we're loving it. Kinda a cover in the Eric Prydz way of covers (see "Call On Me")...but this time instead of Steve Winwood he's tapping into German band Polarkreis 18 for their great song "Allein Allein." Check out the original here.
Hadouken! - Bad Signal (The Prototypes Remix)
OMG. This is the true definition of "the stinky finger." (translation = nose cringing awesome electro).
Flosstradamus - Rollup (Baauer Remix)
Getting the week started off with some trap on trap action thanks to Floss and Baauer. In case you didn't know, Flosstradamus are fans of marijuana. Not only is this song a reference to the green leafy, it also sounds better on it.
Haezer - Troublemaker feat. Tumi (Teaser)
Power Strangers - Cool Beans (Original Mix)
Something new for us here at bitcandy. What do you think of Power Strangers? Worth keeping track of, or should we toss this out the window?
Two new tracks from South Central off of Dim Mak:
South Central - Freak Party
South Central - Sex Pistol
Fashen - Ecstacy (Solidisco Remix) *OUT 7/31*
I can't wait to get the new Solidisco tracks coming out on 7/31. This duo of funk/disco house always gets me moving and puts a smile on my face.

Leeds-based car auction firm G3 Remarketing is pledging to cover the costs of employing a Prince of Wales Hospice nurse – and is challenging other businesses to match their generous offer.
The amount – £40,000 – will help the Pontefract-based charity to provide support to people with life-limiting illnesses and their families.
This is the latest in a series of fundraising and donation drives from G3 Remarketing, which announced last year that they had donated a sum of £30,000 to the hospice.
Since that date, the company's founder and director, Matt Dale, has run four marathons and an ultra-marathon in a bid to raise much-needed funds for the charity's coffers. But wanting to do more, G3 Remarketing also put in a mechanism whereby the firm donates a percentage profit from each vehicle sold.
Commenting on this latest initiative, Matt said: "We recently met with the fundraising team at the hospice to brainstorm ideas for raising more money. They told us that what they really need is greater business support – that's what sparked us to take action and sponsor a nurse!
"What the Prince of Wales Hospice does for our region is fantastic. Any money raised goes straight into maintaining and supporting the facility – not towards marketing budgets and executives' wages. So, we're calling on other organisations within our region to get involved. And who knows, if enough firms get on board, we could end up paying for the whole team's wages!"
Laura Bennett, The Prince of Wales Hospice's fundraising manager, said: "G3 is by far our most generous corporate supporter in the region. That means a lot, especially because of the support we have provided to relatives of G3 employees. It shows that they are confident in our care and want it to be available for other local people with a life-limiting illness.
"It would be fantastic to see other local companies follow their example!"
The Prince of Wales Hospice was founded in 1989 and helps over 300 in-patients per year, as well as an additional 1,000 people who receive support and advice in day therapy sessions and lymphoedema clinics.

The only drawback to using LED bulbs is that you have location up a higher initial investment per bulb as when halogens. LED lamps are one of the most expensive lamps available these days, often costing greater three times the associated with a typical halogen lamp. But if you to take into account just how long you may use LED lamps before it has replacing, should find that LED lamps are actually more most cost effective than some other kind of lighting implements.
If are usually functioning by having an exposed lighting system, maybe suspended spotlights or else track lights, then you may need to not found any issue in regards with the length of the sunshine.

These lighting is extremely cost-effective and truly help you decrease drastically reduces consumption. You might have that the normal lights make use of a lot of one's energy to warm-up the filament but this is not the case with LED bulbs because it coverts all of the electric energy that is supplied to them into light energy.led grow lights
Because the 1990s cities in the U.S. and Europe began replacing incandescent-dependent targeted visitors lights with greater vitality-successful strong state lights, LED has been taking to streets. At this stage LED is not highly effective sufficient staying applied in street lighting. In the past period, the technological know-how of LED gone on.

Right the problem with LEDs is cost. Currently, you might pay about $25 the LED bulb to replace an incandescent bulb. Whether or not the bulb lasts 10 to fifteen years and would pay for itself in reduced energy consumption, this really is still a considerable up front investment. Prices will reduce the the future, and then LEDs may well bulb you prefer.

Taking a page from the larger shoulder mount rigs, the camera features a front mounted audio input, for a camera-mounted mic, and a rear mounted audio XLR input for a second microphone. Audio level controls are at the rear of the camera, however, a second audio level control for the front XLR input is located towards the front of the camera, making it easy to adjust the level on that mic while shooting hand held.
Even though it is designed as a compact hand held camcorder, the AJ-PX270 features connections that let you easily integrated it into multi-camera shoots with large shoulder mounted cameras.

BCSSreset – CSS Reset
kaser • Tools • No Comments on BCSSreset – CSS Reset
When starting a new CSS project, I always start with my BCSSReset :
/* CSSBoss.com - BCSSReset 1.0- By AndrewKaser.com */ html,body,div,ul,li, h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,p,span { margin:0px; padding:0px; border:0px; } ul, li { list-style: none; }
Okay so the most important thing about this CSS Reset is that it's extremely minimal. I start with a very small list of elements that I know I will use in every single layout and then add any additional tags into the selector if I ended up using them in the layout.
You can fit this down to two lines (or even one) if you're really into saving space :
/* CSSBoss.com - BCSSReset - By AndrewKaser.com */ html,body,div,ul,li,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,p,span{margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;} ul, li { list-style: none; }
I chose not to mess around with the h1,h2,h3,h4,h5 font-size or color, because I'm going to be setting them anyway in my style sheet so I don't see why I would want to do it twice. Shave a few more bytes off that file size, Boss. 😉
There are a lot of options out there when it comes to CSS Resets, but I think it's most important that you pick the best one for you. The reason my reset is so small and short, is because those are the highest percentage of tags I deal with in all of my layouts. If you are styling html5 a lot, then you would want to use a html5 reset more than likely, or create your own like I have.

Thanks for visiting! This site is here to tell the truth about LIFE Leadership, TEAM, lifeleadership.com, MonaVie, Amway, Orrin Woodward, Chris Brady, and the other leaders of these organizations. It's intended for those who have an open mind, not those whose minds are already made up and are just looking to reinforce or validate their position.
Who I am: I have been around these companies and leaders for over a decade. I am not your typical blogger or researcher with theoretical knowledge and no experience building the business model that you are researching. I have witnessed every transition period of this organization. I was in Team, Life, MonaVie and Lifeleadership.com I am simply a person that wants to set the record straight about much of the twisting and mis-information that is written online and on social media networks.
Who I am not:. I do not work at the Life Leadership office. I am not one of the top income earners trying to protect my income. I was not secretly hired by some PR firm. My commentary is not endorsed or financially supported in any way by Life Leadership or any other affiliated groups.
I choose to remain anonymous, not to hide from dissenting opinions — you're welcome to post them here, and we'll have a discussion — but because I don't want to subject myself or my family to the kind of things I've seen some people go through. They didn't sign on for this.

I appreciate your comments and willingness to take the time to put out the FACTS. Thanks!
Thanks for taking the time to make this blog! You share a lot of great perspectives that will help someone checking out the business for the first time.

I will be back late april!
I have been out of action (sewing-wise) for more than 3 weeks and I have to say it has made me so sad.
I thought my leg was better (but it got bad again when I started to sew) leading me to believe it may be sewing related.
I am off on a massive trip (over 8 weeks) around Europe and beyond but when I get back I fully intend to sew and post on a weekly basis again.
I will be blogging pictures from my trip here (http://benandkathstravels.tumblr.com/).
It's sad that I didn't finish the dress for the Mad Men challenge but considering the circumstances I'm glad I gave the old leg some healing time.
I was pretty happy with where I was going with it after all the fussing with the fit. Notice the photos are better? I got a proper camera from my lovely boyfriend for my birthday and I am so happy for it! I have been busy playing around with it and trying to learn about photography.
I gotta say I LOVE what I have seen of the costumes from season 5 of Mad Men.
(warning: spoilers)
The late 60s is the best! I adore all the playful prints and bright colours. I am ALL about those two things for myself as well! Bold colour and pattern is 100% my style.
I look forward to sew again when I come back! Hopefully I will encounter some fabric shops on my travels 😉

Proverbs 1:10; "My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not".
Early in our children's lives enticements to sin always come to them. Friends will tempt them to join with their group to enjoy their fun which usually is the pleasures of sin. Being friends with ones that care nothing about what they do or whom they may hurt is one of the biggest mistakes our children make and even we as adults make.
In this verse it says "consent thou not' meaning you don't have to go with them, they can not force you to go with them. It is better to walk away and stay away from them than it is to be one of them. It is wise to tell children they don't have to join things like this, explain to them they have the right to walk away and why.
Proverbs 22:6; "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it".
Parents who raise their children in the Lord have less to worry about than the parents that have not taken the time to raise their children in the Lord. The world of today is a world full of evil and the children of godly parents can still be influenced by sin and give into it. Being raised in the Lord has taught them the ways of the Lord. Even some of the people of the Bible were God fearing but gave into sinful things.
We, as parents can rely on the Word of God and do as He has asked and told us to do. Training our children in the Lord is one way of trying to make sure our children go in the way they have been directed.
God has also told us to love and obey Him, follow his commands. We can help our children when they are under our care but once they leave we need to pray for the Lord's guidance at all times. Prayer is such an important and powerful thing to do for our loved ones, God not only hears but listens to each of our prayers.
We as adults and parents have a responsibility to our children and the children of others. We always need to be aware of what we are doing and saying. The eyes and ears of children are always watching and listening to us. We aren't supposed to tell them to do one thing and then we turn around and do another. This is being hypocritical and it confuses children. How are they supposed to learn if we do this?
Children have a tendency to look up to others and if we say something, perhaps not actually meaning what it might sound like to a child but none the less they think it is fine to say what this person has said. This may cause some trouble because the child didn't understand what this actually meant. So, BEWARE of what you say as there are children and adults around.
Just as saying something, our actions may not be what they appear to be to a child and they thinking it is okay will do it when in all truth it is completely wrong. This could cause a child to get in real trouble. I guess what I am trying to say is when an adult plays a joke on another and it appears to be okay when in reality it isn't. We need to BE AWARE of our actions.
Don't help a child be enticed by your words or actions. A child can be easily enticed in the world of today. We must help them be able to walk away from words and actions. Always be cautious of everything you say or do for the sake of children.
May you always know the love, joy, and peace of the Lord!

BuffaloSpree.com's Recipe of the week: Heirloom beans and greens
Michael Franco
Each year, around the holidays, I begin to evaluate the food and dining trends of the current year, with an eye toward those expected in the coming year. Certainly I take into consideration what other bloggers and food entities—like the National Restaurant Association—say, but I also know that trends can be regional, so I look for clues as to what might be the Buffalo dining scene's "next big thing".
This year, as a self-test, I have decided not to look at any of the prediction lists until I have assembled a list of my own. I want to see if I can guess what the big guys will predict, but more than anything, I want to develop a list free from their influence. I am still at work on it, and will compare mine with theirs sometime around the New Year. In the meantime, I'm shelving all of those articles, emails, posts and letters listing hot eating and dining trends for 2011.
Near the top of my list this year will be a heightened awareness and demand for dry beans that are of an heirloom variety. With Michael Pollan's often-quoted call to "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants," permeating our culture, and a growing appreciation for non-genetically modified foods; I may not be too far off base.
When asked to eat more beans or legumes, many people think of the same old varieties, winnowed down over the years due to lack of demand, resulting in less than half a dozen types of dry beans on our supermarket shelves. But nature has provided us with at least 13,000 existing varieties of beans. Beans come in a variety of colors, shapes and sizes and their textures and flavors are as varied as anything you can imagine. So I call for more beans!
I recently purchased a variety of beans from Salumeria Rosi Parmacotto, a boutique online store specializing in Italian cured meats and heirloom dry beans. I gave some of them as a gift to a few friends and acquaintances. My good friend, Michael Franco, has shared the recipe he used to prepare his. He calls it Beans & Greens, but a quick look at the photo tells you that this dish, though simple, is a little more refined than the Beans & Greens served at most local red sauce joints.
Michael writes, "Because these beans are so special, I kept the broth clean and light, not thick or starchy. For me, this dish is all about the beans. This is my own recipe, so the ingredients—and the amount I used of each of the ingredients—is open to interpretation.
Beans & Greens
Soak beans overnight:
1 cup Fagioli Grossi
1 cup Fagioli Pisani
1/2 cup Ceci Toscani
Drain and rinse.
In a dutch oven add the beans with some rosemary and sage. Add water to cover by 6 inches. Cook until desired doneness. Set aside.
In a soup pot cook onions, carrots, celery and garlic in olive oil until just tender. Add enough chicken broth to barely cover the vegetables, then add chopped red swiss chard (which lends a beautiful rose color to the broth). Cover the pot and cook until the swiss chard has wilted.
Add the cooked beans to the pot along with some fresh rosemary, sage, salt (I used a fennel and cinnamon salt from Trapani) and pepper. Simmer until heated through.
To serve:
Ladle into warm bowls and drizzle with your finest olive oil and freshly ground black pepper. You can sprinkle with grated Romano cheese, but, why would you mask the clean, light, nutty flavor of these gorgeous beans? As much as I love pasta, and lord knows I love pasta, do not add pasta to this dish. It will get cloudy and starchy, and that would be an unforgivable crime."

LONDON (Reuters) – Comcast <CMCSA.O>, the victor in the auction for Sky <SKYB.L> on Saturday, said on Tuesday it had bought 29.1 percent of the European pay-TV group's shares in the market.
Comcast bid 17.28 pounds a share for Sky, beating a 15.67 pound offer from Rupert Murdoch's Twenty-First Century Fox <FOXA.O>. Fox holds a 39 percent stake in Sky, which it is selling to Walt Disney <DIS.N> as part of a separate deal.
Comcast said it was seeking to make further market purchases of Sky shares at a price of 17.28 per share.
It needs 50 percent of the stock plus one share to complete its takeover.

Five Top Benefits Of Invoice Factoring Wellington For Your Business
Invoice factoring Wellington is the process of providing your business with an immediate cash solution in lieu of your debtors ledger. You can receive up to 80% of the amount of your current accounts within 48 hours of submitting your invoices for factoring. The remaining 20% will be paid to you once a debtor has settled their account with Invoice Factoring NZ.
There are a number of benefits of using invoice factoring Wellington as an alternative to taking out a business loan or overdraft facility with your bank:
1. Constant Cash Flow
Waiting for your debtors to pay you can seriously disrupt the cash flow of your business. This can result in an interruption to operations, difficulty in paying staff and other factors that could negatively impact your business in both the short and long term. Invoice discounting or factoring provides you with a revolving cash flow which means that you never have to be concerned when your debtors pay and how much they pay.
2. Chasing Your Debtors
One of the most difficult tasks in any business is chasing clients or customers to pay the money that they owe your business. Delay in payments and partial payments could result in diminished cash flow which once again will put your business at an operating disadvantage. Opting for invoice factoring Wellington means that Invoice Factoring NZ will chase down the money that your debtors owe leaving you free to focus on the more important aspects of running your business.
3. Instant Access To Cash
You don't have to be concerned with the lengthy and complex process of applying for a business loan or overdraft facility when your business is in need of cash in a hurry. Simply submit your debtors invoices for processing and you will receive 80% of the total value in the business bank account within 48 hours. Invoice Factoring NZ understands how critical access to immediate finance can be to your business.
4. Only Pay For What You Need
You don't have to submit the total invoices for your current accounts or accounts receivable. You can choose to submit a portion of your invoices to receive only the amount that you need. Alternatively, you can access the cash the business needs as and when it needs it most. This means that you only pay for the amount that you actually use and not your entire debtor's ledger when accessing your accounts receivable funds.
5. Affordable Fees
Invoice Factoring NZ will only charge you interest on the amount that you access. The interest rate will be similar to that of a bank overdraft. A small administration fee of between 1% and 5% of your turnover is all that will be charged to provide the benefits of invoice factoring Wellington. There are no additional costs or hidden charges that you need to be concerned about.
Invoice financing gives your business the flexibility and security of an ongoing cash flow solution to ensure that operations are not disrupted and that your business can keep growing to achieve its optimal potential.

Absolute Vision Manufactures Successful Industrial Shoot
Absolute Vision Media, one of the midwest's top manufacturing video companies, completed a successful industrial shoot in the local suburbs of Chicago. Part of Absolute's ongoing manufacturing series, the footage will be edited and shown as part of a national television show.
Though Absolute's manufacturing shoots typically involve dozens of heavy machines, die-cutters, mills, and devices, our machinery for this shoot was limited. Our client had a very specific cutting-edge device they wanted featured, and our team captured it in full HD quality. It is our goal as Absolute Vision Productions to create video that looks better than the naked eye, and despite challenging lighting and dark metal parts, our footage exceeded our client's expectations.
Absolute Vision Media is one of the premiere production companies for manufacturing videography in the Midwest. Our portfolio of industrial clients is extensive, and our manufacturing videos are second to none. Take a look below!
Absolute Vision Productions is a Chicago-based media and production company. Whether a two-man warehouse or a multi-national manufacturing consortium, we offer national-level experience with local connections and know-how for manufacturing companies, sustainability organizations, corporate training, and many more.

Shaping Expression: The Influence of Material Signification on Editorial Illustration
Hoogslag, Nanette (2017) Shaping Expression: The Influence of Material Signification on Editorial Illustration. In: Illustration and Intermedial Avenues. Book Practices & Textual Itineraries, 5 . Presses Universitaires de Nancy, Nancy, France, pp. 163-178. ISBN 978-2-8143-0301-0
Where the way illustration appears in its reproduced state has a meaningful impact on all forms of illustration, this paper presents the hypothesis that for editorial illustration, framed by the material and ideological settings of both the singular story and its wider publication, the quality of this material signification is fundamental. Through the exploration of the principal technological developments of the editorial illustration, wood engraving, halftone printing process, digital printing and online publishing this paper traces the signifying impact of media transformations on illustration. It shows that story and illustration are not necessarily distinguished through the way they are expressed within a medium, but through the way these are used and interrelate. It exposes editorial illustration as a specific dialogical mode of communication, based on a particular underlying continuity, defined by material, intertextual and social constructions, rather than appearance.
Keywords: editorial illustration, material signification, media transformation, technological impact, reproduction processes, expression.
As no other visual medium, editorial illustration, the illustration of articles and covers of newspapers and magazines, is shaped by the publishing context in which it is reproduced. Even though individual methods of creation can offer a wide range of expression, those too are framed and determined by the reproduction technologies available and their material culture. Where illustration appears in its reproduced state is of importance to all forms of illustration. It is my hypothesis that, for editorial illustration, which is framed by the material and ideological settings of both the singular story and its wider publication, the quality of this material signification is fundamental to its signifying ability.
In order to explore how reproduction technologies and cultures impact on the material signification of illustration, I will trace the media transformations between three major image reproduction technologies in news publishing, using Katherine Hayles notion of intermediation (My Mother Was a Computer 30). After a short description of the particular qualities of editorial illustration, and an introduction to particular notions of transformation, I will explore three stages in the development of editorial illustration. I will start with the introduction of wood engraving, which, in the mid-19th century, made illustration a ubiquitous mode of representation within newspaper publishing. It was followed by the halftone printing process, which was introduced around 1880. This allowed direct translation of an original artwork and thus enabled the photographic image as part of news-printing culture. Next I will point to digital print reproduction, at the end of the 20th century, which drastically changed printing processes and technologies. Automated computer processes not only vastly improved the quality and reach of printed publications but also gave access to new and enhanced abilities to visual expression in design and illustration. Finally I will discuss online1 technologies, developed around the same time, which extended these digital processes with a network of globally connected computers and multi media expression. Commonly known as new media2, online technologies have not only transformed the processes, but the entire structure of publishing and within the publication, it has redefined the way the story and its illustration are revealed. In new media publications, the distinction between these two modes of communication, between story and illustration is no longer necessarily through pre-defined media difference, but through expression of modality and the way story and illustration interact.

The Return Of Yoga Rage
Posted November 15, 2010on:
- In: Yoga
- 5 Comments
A few years ago I wrote an article about yoga rage for Health.com. Because, I don't often drive, but I do often yoga, and I get angry when fellow yoga classmates trample on the common sense unspoken rules of the road (or on me, or my mat). And then I get angry that I'm angry during yoga. But for the most part, I haven't had too many incidents in the past few years. However, lately I've experienced a onslaught of one particular obnoxious yoga behavior that has resulted in yoga rage flare-ups. And this is what it is: I have no patience (approximately: zero) for people who refuse to move their mats to make room for mine when there is clearly, obviously, indisputably more than enough room for both of us.
I've been on a very limited yoga regimen due to assorted aches and pains, so let me just say, that when I make it to class, I really, really need it. Add to that a crappy day and yeah. Need it. Which brings me to the restorative yoga class that I went to last night, that I was so excited for, that I so needed. When I arrived at the studio, I entered the dimly-lit classroom with the ambient yoga-esque music being softly piped in, feining for my relaxation fix. I walked towards a guy arranging his mat in the middle of a huge space and asked if I could fit next to him, and he said, "There isn't enough room." Did I mention that the area in question was huge, with plenty of room for two mats plus lots of space to spread out? And the same thing happened a few weeks ago, when I asked a woman if she could move over a little in her (huge) space so I could fit in, and she said, "No."
And this is how I responded to both mat space hoarders: I narrowed my eyes, clenched my jaw, said in a huff, "O! K!", and stomped off across the room to find another spot in a dramatic flurry of flailing yoga mat. Now, I'm not proud of throwing a mini-tantrum, but really? You're going to be an #%*&@ in yoga class? Do you #%*&@-ing own the #%*&@-ing studio? And it's not like there was only a sliver of space and I was going to put my mat down on top of theirs; in both cases there was more than enough room for both of us, so why be so stingy with the mat space? I just think it's the #%*&@-ing rudest thing and I can't even pretend to #%*&@-ing be nice anymore when confronted with this obnoxious display of yoga selfishness.
I eventually (internally) worked through my yoga rage last night, and the restorative class was luckily so relaxing that I was able to transcend the mat space slight and actually relax, so much so that at one point I fell asleep. But that rude yogi's behavior temporarily returned me to my yoga rage of years past, and made me wonder (seethe, internally) why some people just can't obey the rules of the yoga road.
What in-class behaviors or mis-behaviors leave you seething with yoga rage? And how do you handle these situations?
Slowing Down & Paying Attention Is Super-Annoying…But Good For Me, Right?
Posted November 12, 2010on:
When we last left off, I was doused in Ben Gay, practicing yoga in my mind because I was injured and couldn't practice it with my body, and contentedly and peacefully learning the lesson from my forced yoga break. Now? Not so much.
It's been over a month. And during that time, my aches and pains have felt better, only to then feel worse again. After my initial back tweak, I took a week off of yoga – four days until I was feeling better and a couple extra days thrown in for good measure. And then, on the day that I had decided would be my glorious reentry into yoga, I tweaked my arm out doing something as strenuous and physically taxing as…reaching for my shirt that was draped over my chair. So then I took another couple of days off, and was feeling better and planning for a morning yoga class. Lying in bed that morning, happily thinking about the class I would soon be taking, I luxuriously stretched out my other arm and…tweaked it. So then came another break. And I wasn't so excited about yoga-in-my-mind or my spiritual lesson anymore. I just wanted to move!
Eventually, I went back to class. I started with restorative classes and then inched my way into active Vinyasa classes, when one day, doing something as strenuous and physically taxing as…sitting, I tweaked out my right hamstring.
Finally, I made it back to my old vigorous Vinyasa practice. But…it was different now. I had to pay attention. Because I had to avoid reactivating the pain on the right and left sides of my neck/back/shoulders/arms. And now my right hamstring felt pulled, so I needed to prop up blocks for stretchy poses on that side. And my left hamstring has been bothering me for years due to a pole dancing class injury, so I have to be careful in Triangle and Ardha Chandrasana poses on that side. And, oh, my lower back has been hurting, too.
I have to be so aware in class now, and it's annoying. I can't just fling myself willy-nilly into poses and feel the yummy juiciness of the unobstructed stretch like I could two months ago, when I was young and limber. I can't just space out and revel in the yoga bliss. I have to vigilantly focus and constantly modify. Was that a hint of tweak here? A pulling sensation there? Do I have to back off this pose, grab more props for that pose? ANNOYING! I just want to move and flow and feel and bliss out! I don't want to have to think and worry in yoga! I do enough of that in my life and off the mat, and yoga is supposed to help me escape from that!
Or actually…maybe…yoga is supposed to help me be present with what is actually going on. Be mindful. Be aware. Slow down. Pay attention… And one day in class I realized this, and felt another spiritual lesson coming on. An annoying lesson, that I don't necessarily want to learn, that I don't exactly feel excited about, but a lesson nonetheless.
I usually like my lessons to be quick and dirty, to just get it and move on. Quickly. And this lesson is taking way too long for my liking. But another lesson is, you don't always like your lessons, and you never really get to choose them or specify their duration.
Last week I finally, finally, built back up to my pre-tweaked practice, and went to five hardcore Vinyasa classes. And I felt good. Mentally clear. Blissfully calm. And on the fifth day, I woke up in the middle of the night with excruciating pain in my neck and arm from doing something as strenuous and physically taxing as…I don't know, probably shifting an inch on my pillow. In tears from the pain, I stumbled to my bathroom for an emergency application of Ben Gay, and gulped down an Aleve. And the next day I bit the bullet and made my first physical therapy appointment.
At my appointment earlier this week, my physical therapist said those dreaded words: "You should lay off yoga for a couple weeks." But I already did that! And I just went back to it! And I don't want to take another break! my inner voice pleaded. And then, I decided to clarify what she meant by that.
Me: (hopefully) Like, one week?
Her: Like one or two weeks.
Me: (internally) Ugh. So done with this lesson. Just over it!
So now I'm on another yoga break. And when I go back to class, I'll probably have to pay attention to my body for awhile, to when I can push myself (optimistically), and when I have to back off (more likely). And I have fantasies of a day when I will be tweak and pain-free, and able to enjoy flinging my body around willy-nilly in class and mindlessly blissing out. And I tell myself that when that happens, I will not take one inch of my neck or shoulders or arms or back or hamstrings for granted. But truthfully, the lesson I've learned is that most of the time, it takes a little something going wrong, to have appreciation for when things are going right.
What lessons are you learning in your life right now, in yoga, or otherwise? How do you feel about the timing of your lessons, and how long they take? What do you do when you feel like they are just taking too damn long? Has anything happened that has forced you to slow down and pay attention? What challenges does that present, and what do you get from it?

Funding builds digital access in Christchurch
Christchurch students are to receive better access to digital learning through a $200,000 project funded by the Government.
The project, run by the non-profit organisation the Greater Christchurch Schools Network (GCSN), aims to provide every student aged nine and over from the 30 participating schools with access to online learning, both at school and at home.
"Providing greater access to personal devices along with home connectivity improves student engagement and achievement when combined with quality teaching and leadership in schools," Nikki Kaye, Associate Education Minister, says.
"GCSN has already surveyed the schools involved. In addition, this initiative will allow parents to become more involved and engaged with their children's learning."
Further features of the initiative include secure internet access to all local students' homes to allow both students and parents to access learning programmes, support for teachers to track student achievement and personalise learning more effectively, and information and support around cyber safety.
Parents will benefit from the purchase or lease of digital devices through a bulk procurement arrangement, which will offer a more affordable option than standard retail prices. A Trust will investigate and support the various funding options.
Five secondary schools and 25 primary schools have been selected by the GCSN to participate in the project. These schools are representative of low-income communities. The secondary schools are Hillmorton High School, Hornby High School, Linwood College, Mairehau High School and Aranui High School, all of which work collaboratively with local primary schools.
"We have been encouraging schools to collaborate with each other and their communities to develop strategies which will lift student achievement," Kaye says. "This initiative reflects that, and the communities that are strengthened as part of this process have the potential to develop their co-operative work into other areas.
"This funding builds on the government's investment in learning with digital technologies, which includes creating modern learning environments, school network upgrades, ultrafast broadband, and the establishment of a managed network."

Super Bowl music live blog -- Beyoncé, Alicia Keys and more
Music is integral to the Super Bowl experience, especially this year when Beyonce's halftime show will likely draw bigger ratings than the game itself. We'll be liveblogging from the pre-game festivities through all the game's commercials.
10:21 p.m. More thoughts on Beyonce's halftime show.
9:35 p.m. Awww, the Budweiser commercial featuring Stevie Nicks' "Landslide" is sweet.
9:24 p.m. It's a bad sign for this year's music haul that Psy's remake of "Gangnam Style" for the pistachios people is a highlight.
8:22 p.m. "Thank you all for this moment," Beyoncé says. And with that, it's done. It's a spectacle, but not as overpowering as her shows can be.
8:20 p.m. A more rock-oriented version of "Halo," with Beyoncé catching her breath.
8:17 p.m. Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams hang out to help on "Single Ladies."

8:16 p.m. Hey, it's a Destiny's Child reunion! "Bootylicious" snippet followed by "Independent Women."
8:15 p.m. "Baby Boy" made the cut, Not expecting that. Maybe because the graphics were so good?
8:12 p.m. "End of Time" sounds awesome. Interesting that B has built in time for thank yous and posing for this jam-packed show.
8:10 p.m. "Crazy in Love" -- recorded Jay-Z, no live Hova.
8:09 p.m. Here we go... "Love on Top" a capella.
7:45 p.m. Speaking of "We Are Young"...Taco Bell turns it into "Viva Young" en Español starring senior citizens.
7:28 p.m. Wow. Halfway through the second quarter and no breakout songs in the commercials yet. Where is this year's "We Are Young"? Luckily, the game is still interesting.
6:30 p.m. Not really sure this ad makes me want to buy a Hyundai, but it sure is nice to see the Flaming Lips get some Super Bowl cash. Maybe people will buy "The Soft Bulletin" with their Hyundai?
6:23 p.m. Alicia Keys sings the "The Star-Spangled Banner" live, accompanying herself on the piano. Her version is strong, though it does seem interesting that she was oh-so-slightly off at the end, while also doing that weird ad-lib. Ways to put to rest any lip-syncing controversy?
6:18 p.m. Jennifer Hudson and the Sandy Hook Elementary School Chorus perform "America the Beautiful." Seeing these kids' smiling faces and their cute sidestep is uplifting, but it's almost a reminder of how much was lost in Newtown, Conn. J.Hud was awesome as usual.
6:14 p.m. So far, no music from this century in the Super Bowl pre-game. CBS uses Queen's "We Will Rock You" for the open. Ravens enter to U2's "Where the Streets Have No Name" (um, why?) and 49ers enter to 2Pac's "California Love."
6 p.m. Still no confirmation about whether Destiny's Child will reunite during the halftime show. Didn't really expect one, but just wanted the chance to post this video of Michelle Williams stumbling again -- not that we hope that would happen tonight.

Labour MP Shane Jones' whanau is reeling after his 18-month-old niece drowned in a Far North creek.
Ebana Brough, who is also the great-granddaughter of former All Black Adrian Clarke, was found dead in a creek by her parents' property on Sunday morning.
Mr Jones last night made the long drive from Wellington, where he yesterday provisionally picked up three portfolios in the Labour reshuffle, to the family marae in Awanui, about 8km north of Kaitaia.
He said his whanau, who have gathered for the tangi at Maimaru Marae, were grief-stricken.
"It's an absolute tragedy, and as you might imagine the family is very upset. Any family that loses suddenly and tragically a toddler, especially to a drowning - people are grief stricken," he said.
Mr Jones was unable to get a flight so he had to drive north yesterday afternoon.
"I'm still making my way back to the tangi. I've obviously been caught up ... in the politics of the Labour Party's restructure," he said yesterday.
Ebana was the daughter of Mr Jones' brother's former partner Venus Cross and her partner Casey Brough, who is Clarke's grandson.
They live in a property by Waipapakauri Creek, which is close to the home of Mana Party leader Hone Harawira.
Speaking from Maimaru Marae last night, Mr Brough said his daughter had fallen into the creek and drowned.
He said Ebana was an "adventurous" little girl and the whanau was feeling lost after her death.
Mr Brough's grandfather was the previous owner of the nearby Waipapakauri Hotel.
Senior Sergeant Geoff Ryan of Kaitaia police said the toddler had wandered a short distance from her home and was found in the creek about 11.30am on Sunday.
Her death has been referred to the coroner.

As an example we could not >force a browser to pre-fetch linked documents in case they might reference >ilinks that _might_ be of interest. This is where my call for thinking about link management comes in. Firstly lets not get confused by this much misunderstood term "users", for which I take Gavin to mean "reader". What is important is that authors, at the time of creating links, obtain sufficient information to ensure that a reader can reconstitute the environment (BOS) the author was working in. To do this the author must: a) Create a formal entity definition for each document referenced. This entity declaration must contain the fullest possible information about the referenced document. In particular it must record what the HyTime extensions to SGML refer to as the SOIBase - a clear definition of which machine the file was originally obtained from b) Create an independently referencable set of links that use the recorded entity declarations as their BOS. The main point is that the entity definitions and the link information need to be stored as a separately referencable document/fragment that can be extracted for evaluation outside of the accompanying text so that link validation can be done efficiently without having to scan through vasts amounts of data. If the link information is stored externally from the data (which it ideally should) there should be a way of pointing to the relevant file(s) from the XML document element, e.g. <XML -XML-links="<url SOIBase='http://sgml.u-net.com/'>mylinks1.xml mylinks2.xml</url>"> Unless we get the idea of _formally_ recording the sources of our links as part of the authoring process we will get hung up on the red-herring of the Web being the BOS - it isn't. The BOS is defined by the set of files identified by each file visited. While in total this could be as wide as the Web if we tried to visit too many files at once we, in practice, only need to deal with that part of the Web associated with the files currently being viewed. Providing we can obtain this information easily the process of managing it will be easy. Martin Bryan ---- Martin Bryan, The SGML Centre, Churchdown, Glos.

Fatal Light is absolutely lyrical - it is beautifully written, even in the midst of the most terrible situations. It is told in snippets, loosely connected scenes, parts of letters, bits of memories. It's much as I would expect memories of such a traumatic time to be - disjointed, unconnected, but vivid.
"When I thought of the jungle from Saigon, the colors bled. Green had vanished. Elephant grass blurred and danced under the whip of helicopter blades. Yellow heat rose in a dream of empty air."
The story covers the narrator's final days before he's drafted, his time in-country, through his arrival back in the States. Things aren't any easier when he gets home:
"...I could never explain what had happened or where I had gone or what had changed me. I was not sure that I knew or wanted to know. 'It just seems nothing I can say...' I said, and faltered. 'It's like wanting everything to disappear.'
'Nothing's going to disappear,' Earl said. 'Except maybe you.'
I looked at him.
'If you're not careful,' he said."
The power of the words has not diminshed in the twenty years since it was first published. My copy was an Advance Reader Edition; purchase your copy at Amazon.com.
