Considered best Brazilian heavy metal drummer for twelve years in a row by main specialized magazines and sites, in 2011 Aquiles Priester was the only Brazilian in the history of Brazilian drumming to rank 5th best Prog Metal drummer of the world according to American Modern Drummer magazine next to names such as Neil Peart, Mike Portnoy, Gavin Harrison and Marco Minnemann.
Born in South Africa, he moved to Brazil while still a child, spending his childhood and part of his adolescence in Foz do Iguaçu, a city in the state of Paraná. In 1988 he moved to Porto Alegre and in 1997 he founded heavy metal band Hangar where he began developing the style that would make him known worldwide. With Hangar he released five studio albums, an acoustic CD/DVD and a live album.
Soon after Aquiles Priester was invited to record and go on tour with Paul DiAnno, former Iron Maiden singer. This resulted in the album Nomad and a tour that included various Brazilian cities.
In 2001 he joined the band Angra and recorded the album Rebirth, which went gold record in Brazil. After six years and three studio albums, an EP and a live CD/DVD, Aquiles left the band.
From then on he hasnt stopped, releasing products directed to the drum world that became best sellers, among them two educational DVDs: Inside My Drums (2004) and The Infallible Reason Of My Freak Drumming (2010), that was elected 3rd best educational DVD of the world by American Modern Drummer in 2011. He also released a textbook on the study of the double bass called Inside My Psycho Book (2007) and is about to release his new DVD Aquiles Priester's Top 100 Drum Fills in the world market.
Besides the educational products, in 2010 Aquiles also released his autobiography "Aquiles Octopus Priester From Fan to Idol" thats on its 2nd edition and includes testimonies of famous drummers such as Kiko Freitas, Vera Figueiredo, Serginho Herval and João Barone.
In 2010, he was one of seven drummers chosen from all over the world to take part of an audition to substitute Mike Portnoy in the American band Dream Theater with Aquiles were Mike Mangini, Peter Wildoer, Marco Minnemann, Virgil Donati, Derek Roddy and Thomas Lang. After the audition, he was invited to go on a European tour with world famous American guitar player Tony MacAlpine. In 2010 he went on tour with another guitar virtuoso, Vinnie Moore.
Mapex provides the instruments used by him and in 2006 created the drum kit Mapex Limited Edition Aquiles Priester and now, in 2013, is preparing to release a signature snare, Aquiles Priester's PsychOctopus Black Panther Snare, worldwide. On the other hand Paiste, the cymbal manufacturer, wasnt far behind. In the beginning of 2009 they released the PST5 Limited Edition Aquiles Priester in the Brazilian market and in July of 2012 the signature ride 2002 PsychOctopus Giga Bell Ride 18" worldwide. With these accomplishments, Aquiles became the first Brazilian drummer to have signature products released worldwide by international drum brands.
Aquiles Priester has already done more than 280 drum workshops and has taken part in the biggest drum festivals around the world such as the Modern Drummer Festival (United States), Montreal Drum Fest (Canada), Batuka! International Drum Fest (Brazil), La Rioja Festival (Spain), Laguna Drum Fest (Mexico), Drummer Live (England), Frankfurt Music Messe (Germany) and Namm Show (United States).

What You Need to Know About EAB in Denver - Advice From Splintered Forest Tree Services
September 7, 2016
Emerald ash borer, or EAB as it is commonly referred to, is an emerald green beetle that feeds on ash species of trees.
What do you need to about EAB?
Will this pesky little beetle harm your trees? Here's everything you should know about EAB straight from the Denver tree service experts at Splintered Forest:
What kind of damage can EAB cause?
The adult beetles will simply nibble on the bark of your ash trees, so it's possible that you may not notice any damage. However, the larvae can cause serious damage. EAB larvae feed off of the inner bark of the tree, which prevents the tree from being able to transport water and nutrients to other areas.
Over time, the area above the infested part of the tree will begin to thin out and die. It is estimated that one-third to one-half of a tree infested with EAB will be dead within one year, so it's important that homeowners act quickly by contacting Denver tree services in Denver as soon as possible. Get your
FAQs about EAB
answered here.
How can you spot EAB?
There are a number of symptoms of EAB that homeowners should be aware of in order to protect their trees. First, look for vertical splitting in the bark. This occurs when the EAB larvae begin to destroy the interior of the tree, and often, you may be able to see the larvae beneath the split.
Look for woodpeckers as well. Woodpeckers feed on EAB larvae, and when there are a lot of larvae for the woodpeckers to eat, the birds can strip pieces of bark off of the tree to get to them. This will usually occur on the higher portions of the tree, so don't forget to look up when checking for signs of damage.
You may also notice the crown of your tree dying, which occurs after larvae have been feeding on the inner tree for long periods of time. Or, your tree could also be sprouting new growths at the base of the tree, according to our professionals.
Homeowners may see the bugs themselves, but if not, look for tiny, D-shaped emergence holes, which is how adult EABs exit the bark. The outer bark will usually hide signs of larvae, but if you strip back the outer layer of bark and see a s-shaped pattern beneath it, this is a sign the larvae are feeding inside your tree.
How can you prevent EAB?
Consult with your local tree experts to determine whether your tree is healthy enough for EAB pesticides and prevention. Some of the most effective treatments are injected into the tree each year for continuous protection. Treatments are only recommended if you currently live within 15 miles of a known EAB infestation, so not every homeowner will need it.
Splintered Forest is a leading fire mitigation and tree services business serving the mountain communities and committed to delivering the best service in the industry. Brad Huddleston, the owner, has been in the business for 13 years and started operating as Splintered Forest in 2004. The crew has grown to include
ISA Certified Arborists
, experienced tree climbers and expert tree fellers.

Dr (Prof) Vivek Khare, Principal
Type of labs deployed at the institute: Computer Lab and Language Lab
Lab solution provider: Learnsoft Language Lab
The objective of lab deployment is to help improve the language skills of students. It provides students with a high-tech learning environment and a knowledgeable tutoring staff to guidethem with any aspect of language and learning: from speaking, listening and pronunciation to reading, writing, grammar or punctuation.
Higher academic standards
It will lead to higher academic standards as students will have more opportunities for language learning, even though in a virtual environment, which definitely nevertheless provides them with substantial exposure.
Student evaluation
Students can be evaluated by assigning various projects where they are requiredto practice their target language in a real life situation. The teachers monitor the situation and provide the required feedback. Based on this feedback, the students rework their areas of weakness.
Smoothening the teaching learning process
Language teachers have been using technological aids for many years, some of which have been around from the beginning of the 20th century and so, even today, language teaching utilisesvarious forms of technology to enhance learning in the classroom. In a language
lab, students listen to, and/or watch, multimedia materials in which native speakers talk in authentic contexts. They can also record themselves and listen to these recordings and compare their speaking skills in the target language with the original material. Audio, video and multimedia provide culturally appropriate resources with which students can interact.
Salient features
A language lab is a vital tool for enhancement of learning among students. Following are some of the features that would enable a language lab to work successfully. To begin with, it should have an auditory orientation, that is direct sound transmission should give a
step-by-step guidance from the teacher to the heads of students with crystal clarity, and it should be able to engage students with individual systems. It should also be able to increase the pace of comprehension of the students and be able to provide foreign language practise in a focussed setting that eliminates feelings of self-consciousness. Finally, it should use text, audio and video and easily integrate them with actual everyday situations.
- To help improve the language skills of students
- Labs provide students with a high-tech learning environment and a knowledgeable tutoring staff to guide them with any aspect of language and learning
Students' feedback
Students appreciate the opportunity to learn through multimedia. With every session, they become more conscious of the fact and the simulations of authentic learning context can immensely help them in imbibing the target language.
Teachers' training
Labs can be successfully implemented by giving proper training and orientation to teachers who can then help in facilitating an adequate learning environment. The students can also be made aware of the benefits they will get by using such modern facilities. Regular workshops can be conducted on the useof technology required in these setups. A thorough check of the equipment should also be done on a regular basis which will ensure smooth functioning of the lab on any given point of time. Taking feedback from students can also contribute towards enhancement of the overall teaching learning process through these labs.
'CALL' for cooperative learning
Teacher-centric instruction is out and student-centred approaches are definitely in. Learner autonomy is being recognised more and it is time for cooperative learning where individualised instruction is becoming the norm. Student participation in their own learning is on the rise and will continue to be so. Along with CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning), MALL (Mobile Assisted Language Learning) would also gain much buzz. The challenge would be to allow them to do that and find the relevant technology and technology related projects to facilitate that.

Nick and I have been enjoying our summer a lot. May not feel like summer today (It's currently 63F) but I know it's not over. Sunny days are still coming and I can't wait for more. We've been swimming at Green Lake for 5 straight days and it has been wonderful. I came into work today wearing a sweater, and because of all the swimming we've been doing since the weekend, it actually felt like Monday. I did not like that. But hey, our weekend made up for it.
My friend hosted a big luau at his house. He invited my capoeira group to come and perform. We did great by the way. Photo below shows us, wearing white, with the hula dancers and the samoan slap dancers. haha!
Ashley and I in the roda.
After the performances and the eating that commenced.
And the last photo below was taken last Monday night. Our friend Jonny, same guy who hosted the luau, invited us over to Lake Union to enjoy the sunset. I had such a blast! I actually went swimming in the middle of the lake at 11pm. It's not all the time that I get to say that. I've got some stories to tell my future kids.
*Photos except for the last photo are taken by my friends.

New Job at Microsoft, I will be a Senior Program Manager in Windows
This Monday I accepted a new role at Microsoft. I will be a Senior Program Manager in Windows in the Developer ecosystem and platform (DEP) engineering team.
The operating systems group is looking for an experienced technical program manager to drive developer engagement and help make our phone, pc and tablet app ecosystem vibrant! As part of the developer ecosystem and platform (DEP) engineering team, developer engagement PM's work closely with our top strategic app developers and partners to learn from them, unblock them, co-engineer with them, and ultimately change and improve the Windows platform to make it a no brainer choice for any solution or app on any form factor. DEP program managers are part of a dynamic team with a key role to play in enabling all Windows devices to be first class citizens in the cloud-first mobile-first world.
A big focus of the OS vNext is enabling Enterprise customers to more easily deploy and manage Windows devices and the apps that run on them. This includes mission critical apps developed commercially or as part of line of business solutions. In this role, your challenge is to deeply understand and deliver on the needs of Enterprise developers, and to enable commercial ISVs to adopt platform innovations that make Windows apps work even better for business. If you are passionate about helping us succeed in this space, love solving technical problems for real customers, thrive on making change happen, and want to work for a super-fun team, please read on.
The successful candidate will be expected to work with teams across the OS group, and Business Development and Marketing and the broader Microsoft focused on a set of commercial partners and scenarios. You will be expected to engage with technical leaders in other companies and develop expertise in platform technologies that will enable you to recommend solutions and identify gaps. Strong collaboration, communication and project management skills are a must for succeeding with internal and external relationships and making change happen. Successfully influencing engineering plans both inside and outside of Microsoft is a key deliverable.
The ideal candidate possesses a combination of program management and partner engagement experience with an extensive technical background, and ideally has participated in the technical community as an author, blogger, speaker, evangelist, or content contributor. You will need to have passion and enthusiasm for helping customers and partners; and the ability to stay current and relevant as technologies morph and evolve. Experience managing a large program or multiple feature areas or partners simultaneously preferred.
Job Qualifications:
A minimum of 5 years of program management, product development, technical evangelism, or technical product management.
A BA/BS degree in Computer Science or equivalent industry experience.
Familiarity with Visual Studio or equivalent app development environment.
Availability for business travel and business calls with partners in other time zones.
Microsoft is an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, religion, national origin, marital status, age, disability, veteran status, genetic information, or any other protected status.
In other words, I will be working with partners, ISV's and internal groups to make sure Windows covers all the scenarios from an enterprise developer perspective and they are tested and validated with partners and customers. In other words, make sure Windows is ready for enterprises. The difference between this job and the current one how I see it is; In the new job I need to make sure developer CAN build their software on Windows. The current job is about making sure developers WILL build their software on Windows.
I will still be working with the marketing group I was part of. I loved working in this team and with my marketing colleagues. I wasn't even looking for something else to do, this happen to come along as an opportunity and I grabbed it. I love working in the enterprise space, I think it's important and now I will be part of the group building the product (OSG, Operating System Group).

I've been thinking much lately about politics both locally and nationally. Each time I see some blow hard buff themself up on TV while the cameras role I can't help but giggle. I wonder if these politicians actually think many of us take their passion seriously? I think this to be a redundant question as many do, unfortunately, believe all and embrace the rhetoric as their own.
This belief may not be shared by all but I certainly embrace it as truth. We're being played! We are but pawns in a giant chess game played by a limited number of elite leaders we've empowered. I hear so much about how everyone is so frustrated with our government yet I see so little being done about it. Have we as a people just accepted this? When have we decided this existence represents normalcy?
Sure, people will spout off…"that's just what the Tea Party is trying to accomplish." All I can do is smile at the naivety of such a claim. The Tea Party is just an aggressive arm of the Republican Party on steroids. What about the Coffee Party? Again, they are just an arm of the Democratic Party on anxiety medication. Neither will accomplish anything except draw attention to each group through carefully edited sound bites.
The passion found in so many faithful church followers for the Republican Party is beyond sad, it's desperate. Somehow thinking this group of manipulators represents more morality and honor reeks of stinkin' thinkin'. Talk about being used. For one moment to think the Republican Party cares about the Christian community other than a means to carry a voting block is silly. In this case people are not being played as pawns but as checker pieces.
Don't get me started with the Democratic Party. Talk about a useless organization. I find the only value in the modern Democratic Party is to oppose the Republican Party and that seems to be a great value. All heart but no means to follow through or accomplish anything, that seems to define this group.
Until this country brings about an opportunity for a true third-party organization. A party that can compete equally and govern fairly, allow for actual debate, until then our country remains stuck in this standstill. We need a third-party to get this country out of the mess it's currently in. Only when groups and people can be held accountable and not allowed to play the common man can politics bring true value to our country.
Our current system allows our two parties to fight like cats and dogs when the lights are shinning and then get behind closed doors and drink together like frat brothers. The laughter they must have at our expense. It's beyond time to break up this party, fight for REAL change. What we have is too much like professional wrestling for my taste.

Most people when they get onto a train take out a magazine or a packet of sandwiches, or both. I take out my pen and commit to paper all of the things that have bugged me, pleased me or otherwise caught my eye over the previous few days.
I contribute the odd, sometimes very odd, piece to the3rdimagazine but there are many things that interest, annoy, intrigue and inspire me that never make it into the magazine.

This drill has one catch. If the players do not pay attention to the way they are running, a group will tire out very quickly, then you will be missing players.
Therefore, players are challenged impose their stamp on this unit and for this they need to wisely decide on their paths. The smaller the groups to work on exercises, the more difficult the headwork is during warmups, hopefully that goes well for you.
A triangle is marked and placed centrally in the triangle a little cone. At each corner of the triangle, a group is placed. The positions should be occupied by at least two players at the start of the exercise. The player dribbles the ball in the direction of the cone always into the diagonally opposite group, never taken back on the same side. The players decide on their own after the pass which group they will join, you just cannot return to their starting group.
A special feature applies to the group at the top of our entertainment triangle. The players spent two passing lanes and it is different than in the other two groups.
- A number of balls in play in larger groups (difficult!)
- Different dribbling and passing techniques
- Push for increased speed
- Warning to players before the "tiring out" of groups
Category: Advanced training, children's training, youth training, seniors
Minimum group size: 6
Maximum group size: 12
Materials required: One ball, one cone, 3 ground markers
Field size: Again, the field size can be changed, depending on the level of performance.
Information: There are already more than 1,000 animations online at www.soccerdrills.de, as well as plenty of interesting articles by very well-known soccer experts.
If you don't want to wait for the translations, you can take a look at Soccerdrills.de. The animations often speak for themselves.

I think I should start with a confession: I am not a Blues and Americana fan. On second thoughts, that probably sounds a little harsh. Perhaps a better description of yours truly would be 'Blues sceptic'. Yes, that's better. It's not that I dislike the Blues, I just don't get them in a world of music downloads, tuneless grime and hobbit lookalike Ed Sheeran.
Classic rock and pop: yes. Indie and electronica: definitely. I might even stretch to an occasional slice of country rock (well, I am from Cheadle originally). But Blues and Americana? Nah, not for me.
So what I am doing blogging about Leek's premier Blues and Americana Festival?
How do I explain this? Oh yes – Dave Swarbrook made me do it.
'You'll enjoy it,' he said. 'The festival is chockful of superb bands and artists this year.'
'I'll recommend a gig for you and then you can review it.'
'…I'm not a blues…'
'How about Kirk Fletcher at the Foxlowe Arts Centre on Friday September 29th? He's won four Blues Music Award and was a 2015 British Blues Award nominee. And did I mention that he's one of the best blues guitarists in the world? And if that wasn't enough, there's great support as well from the always dependable Chris Bevington Organisation, last year's headliners.'
'So that's settled then. I'll see you at the Foxlowe'
'Okay, Dave.'
Thanks to Mr Swarbrook's impressive powers of persuasion, I will now be attending a certain gig at the Foxlowe on Friday the 29th September. Will Kirk, Chris and friends turn this sceptic into a new Blues fan?
Find out in Part Two!

TITLE: The Glass Kitchen
AUTHOR: Linda Francis Lee
PUBLISH DATE: June 17, 2014
PUBLISHER: St. Martins Press
384 pages
Amazon: $10.99 ebook
Barnes and Noble: $10.99 ebook
After a couple of chapters of wondering where this book was going, I was pulled and then couldn't put the book down. It took a bit to figure out the characters and what was happening. The reader is hit with a bunch of chaos right off the bat and it requires patience for the issues to come to light. But if you are patient, the characters find their way into your heart and I was rooting for them all. Well all but Uncle Andrew. I didn't want him to get anything, but he was still a good, bad character.
Ariel was my favorite, but I aligned with her as she was a dreamer, the problem solver, the bridge in negativity.
I did love the sisters, Portia, Olivia and Coredila, but would love to read a follow-up book that includes their own stories.
There was a few major curve balls in this book that by the time I was sucked in, I was so transfixed that I was not prepared for them. They threw me and made it that much harder to put the book down for normal life things like sleep. I refuse to divulge them though!
This is a perfect book for a vacation read. It was light, happy and full of chaos. And of course, the family drama was fantastically written.
SUMMARY - Portia Cuthcart never
intended to leave Texas. Her dream was to run the Glass Kitchen
restaurant her grandmother built decades ago. But after a string of
betrayals and the loss of her legacy, Portia is determined to start a
new life with her sisters in Manhattan... and never cook again.
when she moves into a dilapidated brownstone on the Upper West Side,
she meets twelve-year-old Ariel and her widowed father Gabriel, a man
with his hands full trying to raise two daughters on his own. Soon, a
promise made to her sisters forces Portia back into a world of magical
food and swirling emotions, where she must confront everything she has
been running from. What seems so simple on the surface is anything but
when long-held secrets are revealed, rivalries exposed, and the promise
of new love stirs to life like chocolate mixing with cream.
The Glass Kitchen
is a delicious novel, a tempestuous story of a woman washed up on the
shores of Manhattan who discovers that a kitchen—like an island—can be a
refuge, if only she has the courage to give in to the pull of love, the
power of forgiveness, and accept the complications of what it means to
be family.

In our Creative Arts ministry at Eastridge, we're undergoing a 90-day challenge in which we're reading two books: Prayer by Timothy Keller and Worship Matters by Bob Kauflin. Part of this challenge is sharing our insights…so I thought, what better way to share than on this site. Here goes…
I just polished off Chapter 1 of Prayer. I knew I was going to fall in love with the book when Tim Keller quoted Flannery O'Connor's wonderful Prayer Journal quite a bit in this chapter. You see, I'm a massive fan of Flannery O'Connor because she was an author from the South – Georgia, no less – and was a believer in Jesus. Heck, she even made her way into the title of my book!
One quote in particular struck me, and I think it will become a regular prayer of mine:
Why did this particular prayer jump out at me? I think it stems from my desire to be all-encompassingly in God's presence. I want my mind to be uncluttered when I approach the the throne of God; I want my thought to only be on Him and to only be on what will bring Him glory. Flannery O'Connor expressed this sentiment in her gloriously inimitable way, and I love it!
Later on in the chapter, Keller recalls the words of Scottish theologian John Murray in another, longer quote that I deeply dig:
I love the concept of "intelligent mysticism." The idea brings together the head and the heart in a way that makes perfect sense when describing faith. For me, sometimes my relationship with God can be cerebral. I can ponder and overthink my spiritual life to a fault. At other times, it's deep and emotional in a way that's almost unreal.
These two approaches to faith aren't opposites; in fact, they're facets of the same thing. In the rarest and richest moments, the cerebral and the mysterious come together in a most satisfying way, and the phrase "intelligent mysticism" encapsulates that tension between the two extremes.
What do you think? What stood out to you from this chapter?

Scott is a brilliant lawyer, - aggressive when he needs to be and thoughtful and planning when that is needed. Now, seven years after the case has concluded, I called Scott with a follow up question. He researched and had my answer the next day. I am honored to have had him as my attorney. I consider him the absolute best!"
- Mary, Review from Avvo
"Mr. Perry took my wrongful death case and worked it for 3 years. His dedication and intimate knowledge of the law was the sole reason for the better than average settlement that we received. Mr. Perry went out of his way to keep me informed throughout the process and answered any and all of my questions without any delay. He explained the many complicated procedures, documents and court filings again and again so that we were comfortable with all that was going on with our case. I highly recommend Mr. Perry and his associates to all my friends and family!"

The Saltwater Grill, located right off the hotel's lobby, offers some of the best fresh seafood along the Gulf Coast along with floor-to-ceiling views. The atmosphere is casual and is reflected in the menu which features longtime favorites like the signature lump crabcakes and cedar roasted redfish along with more startling fare including fried gator bites. The restaurant prides itself on serving Alabama Gulf seafood and in promoting sustainability, offering Louisiana farm-raised redfish and Point aux Pins oysters from Grand Bay, Alabama.
Diners here always start the meal with jalapeno-laced cornbread before moving on to appetizers, the most popular of which include gumbo and crabcakes. The menu, which emphasizes seafood, offers some landlubber choices such as the filet mignon with Yukon smashed potatoes and Bearnaise sauce which Jack ordered while I opted for the fresh catch of pan-seared Gulf snapper with Cajun beurre blanc. Dessert was a fresh, photogenic take on a blackberry cheesecake. After dinner, we indulged in a sunset stroll of the resort's grounds which are resplendent with azaleas, camellias and majestic live oaks.
Restaurant Manager John Schneekloth points out that while the ambiance, food and wine reflect high standards, the restaurant itself is casual. He also comments that the Saltwater Grill's menu is designed to be wallet-friendly, featuring twenty entrees which cost less than $20. "You don't have to be celebrating a birthday or anniversary to come here," he says. As an added inducement to local diners to come through the resort's imposing entrance gates, the restaurant provides free valet parking. Then there's the view. Schneekloth, a newcomer to the resort, says "I've lived all over the world and I've taken more sunset photos in the last one and a half months than in the rest of my life."

Lawsuit Funding Helps Send Strong Message
With death comes grief for loved ones left behind, but when the death is caused by negligence of someone else, it is even harder to accept. The injury or death can lead to exorbitant costs including medical bills, long-term care, even funeral and burial expenses and emotional damages. It may also result in loss of earnings. A lawsuit can provide fair compensation, while also sending a strong message that will help prevent someone else from being injured by a similar mistake or accident. Once a lawsuit is filed, if the victim/grieving family is in need of financial assistance until the case settles, lawsuit funding may be an option.
Although nothing can bring back a loved one, with the financial pressures reduced, a family is better able to fight for compensation deserved. Lawsuit funding is provided on a non-recourse basis; the cash advance is waived in its entirety if the case is lost. Within 48 hours of receiving a funding application and case documentation, Lawsuit Financial can review a case for a cash advance. If approved, we can wire the funds directly into a client's account as quickly as 24-hours. How can we do this so quickly? We provide funding solely on case merit. There are no credit checks, employment verification, or collateral needed.
Are you the victim of medical negligence? Have you filed a medical malpractice lawsuit and are in need of fast cash until your case settles? While cases are time-consuming and a settlement may take years, our lawsuit funding process is not. Contact our offices for a free consultation or to apply; our knowledgeable team is ready to help.

REVIEW: As the Centauri-Narn conflict heats up, tensions naturally rise on the station, and no matter who's on top at the moment (the Centauri), both G'Kar and Londo feel isolated. Katsulas plays wounded like nobody else, and the episode would be worth watching for his performance alone. He lived through the occupation and the horrors of war/rebellion, and has been passionate about obtaining reparations. He's incredibly patriotic and yes, selfless, a traits shared by at least some of his people, going by the initial "act of sacrifice" we witness. He screams at the injustice, and everyone sees that injustice. He just can't get other governments to officially lend aid to his people, no matter how hard he tries. His despair is palpable and moving. His own sacrifice is one of face, accepting the best deal he can get, and swallowing his pride when someone like Delenn points out the Narn are just as genocidal as the Centauri, no matter who fired the first shot in this particular conflict. He must get his people under control before the conflict destroys B5's neutrality and they all get evicted, and that comes at a price too. He's the old man the youngsters don't want to obey, at least until he responds to the implicit challenge with violence.
Now look at Londo and his selfishness. His troubles are comparatively silly. Everyone's trying to curry favor with him now that he's a big shot. Aww. Garibaldi shuns him and he can't get anyone to have a drink with him even if he's now paying. Sad. And yet, his isolation is no less real than G'Kar's. But it's a winner's loneliness, we're not as sympathetic to it. Though the murder of a Centauri aboard the station could have started a riot, Londo chooses to more or less let it go. The guy who died was a jerk (we saw evidence of this) and apparently held no political power whatsoever, so it doesn't take much largesse to simply require the killer's expulsion and a somewhat humiliating sale of his belongings profiting the Centauri cause. The favor does earn him a little peace and quiet, and a friend in Garibaldi again. Whatever Londo does, he does for Londo. Make no mistake.
Everyone's trying to get a coalition going in this episode. G'Kar gains the use of Franklin's underground railroad to get his civilians our of harm's way, but no political power to broker a peace with. Londo's coalition is of a personal nature; he's well set up with the Shadows and the Centauri government on the macro scale anyway. And then there's Sheridan, who gives Ivanova the task of bringing a new alien species on board with Earth - the Lumati. Why does she get all the comedy-diplomacy assignments? Taken at face value, it's a case of just who we're willing to get in bed with (that turn of phrase will become important in a moment), because they're holier-than-thou a-holes who are fiercely non-interventionist because evolution should dictate who wins and who loses. They have no empathy or compassion. In one of the show's most leftist commentaries yet, the Lumati douchebag Correlilmurzon thinks poverty (i.e. how the Lurkers live down below) is a wonderful innovation to filter one's gene pool of unwanted, weaker elements. And that creates the common ground he needs to see humans as equals worthy of his voice, presence and alliance. We're monsters. Now all that needs to be done to cement this deal is for Correlilmurzon and Ivanova to have sex. All of the LOLs, I guess. Strange bedfellows taken literally, the Lumati are a completely disreputable race, but Ivanova has a plan. She'll convince Correlilmurzon to have sex the human way, then invent a little dance accompanied by orgasmic sounds and tell him it's done. The dance in question is a parody of a bad relationship, and somewhat amusing, though it seems a little uncomfortable for Claudia Christian. It's trying too hard to get laughs, I think. What we're going to do with non-interventionist allies anyway, I don't know.
REWATCHABILITY: Medium-High - You could jettison Ivanova's A-plot, but the G'Kar/Londo stuff is rather brilliant.

JMS trying to be funny is the REAL war crime in this episode.

Hahaha. It's why I dread thinking I might one day read his Inferior 5 issue of Brave & the Bold.

If it helps, I read it, and can tell you it's not as bad as it could be. He's having too much fun with wibbly-wobbliness to really lay into the joke-smithing.
Now Marv Wolfman ... there's some truly cringe-inducing attempts at humor.

Some interesting guest cast here. Most recognizable is Glenn Morshower from 24 as the general who refuses to help the Narns, and then there's Ian Abercrombie, Mr. Pitt from Seinfeld, as the Lumati ambassador. His spokesman is Paul Williams, a very popular singer in the '70s whose star has waned considerably since then (he's now probably best known for his work with the Muppets, including writing their signature song The Rainbow Connection).
The Lumati were inspired by a report JMS happened to catch late at night where a female reporter was interviewing an Islamic leader. He clearly understood English as he didn't need her questions to be translated, but still insisted on giving his responses through an interpreter as he considered it beneath his dignity to treat a woman as an equal. And despite Star Trek's portrayal of the Prime Directive not having quite sunk to the levels it's often mocked for, their philosophy of "let a child die because evolution demands it" works quite nicely as a criticism of the mindset that would one day give us the Enterprise episode Dear Doctor and its implicit advocacy of genocide.
The human style sex scene is one of those things that's entirely dependent on the skill of the actor regarding whether it works, and personally I think Claudia nails it. Though she does leave out the jumping jacks mentioned in the script for some reason.
I also have to make note of one of Andrea Katsulas' finest acting moments in his whole career, where as the script describes it, "G'Kar doesn't know whether to laugh or cry, and so he does both." Because he knows full well that the Narns have made their own bed with their overly belligerent response to just about anything in the wake of the Centauri occupation, and this really is the best he can hope for.

"a criticism of the mindset that would one day give us the Enterprise episode Dear Doctor and its implicit advocacy of genocide"
I didn't take it as advocacy of genocide; the dilemma was, one species or the other was going to prosper depending on whether the Doctor helped the more advanced species (which had already started its natural decline). Genocide is all about actively destroying a people, and nothing even close to that was on the Doctor's or Archer's mind, only that they didn't feel they had the power, the right, or the knowledge to take control of that planet's evolution.
- August 11, 2014 at 12:19 PM
The trouble is, the whole "dilemma" was predicated on the idea that there is a predestined pattern to the universe, down to species naturally evolving into extinction, when the entire idea behind evolution is that it AVOIDS extinction. It's the exact same fallacy that gave us the Voyager episode Threshold, and it's pretty funny that Braga grew to hate that episode so much, yet then did the exact same thing, and worse.

While this is perhaps a discussion better had on my review of Dear Doctor, I'll try and spin it back to B5.
In no way do I excuse Braga's (or any Trek of B5 writer's) poor grasp of science, but I will say this: These are fictional worlds where fate/destiny seems to be an actual force. If it is in the lives of the characters we follow (bolstered by ESP/prophecy or time travel, if you need some kind of quantum physics explanation for it), then it also is in the normal course of evolution, planetary development etc. The very idea of fiction means these worlds are more ordered, less random, than our own.
So if Sinclair and Sheridan have very real destinies, then the formation of Earth and the evolution of humans were just as preordained. Dear Doctor's argument runs that way (but Threshold is inexcusable any way one looks at it).
- August 11, 2014 at 4:09 PM
Species compete for limited resources; some thrive, others do not. Some species rely on technology to make themselves strong and grow weak; those species will fall.
It is the way of the Shadows.
- August 11, 2014 at 4:54 PM
I think that fate/destiny are a lot more wibbly-wobbly in B5, in the Terminator sense of there being no fate but what the characters make themselves.
Prophecy is obviously a working thing in the B5 universe, but given JMS's preference of having more than one explanation for any given phenomenon, it could either be seen as magical destiny, perhaps ordained by a supreme being or beings, or the Living Universe of Minbari faith, or a psychic power tied in some way to whatever mechanism allows for B4 to experience actual time travel.
JMS has always been careful to say, and the text of the show bears this out, that there are alternative futures that have been avoided specifically by the actions of the characters, which I think argues against the idea of manifest destiny existing in this particular universe. One of the core themes of B5 is an individual's ability to effect the course of history due to their choices.

Right. The universe tends to abhor a paradox (just like it does a vacuum). It only looks like predestination.

I feel the need to point out that as of this episode, Londo has a new jacket. It's darker and a bit smarter, which ties in with where his character is going.
Also, the scene where he's sat, alone, waiting for Mr Garibaldiis pretty sad and a bit pathetic. I think it also speaks to his character that he never considers asking Vir.

JMS: " As it happens, I made it a point to be on-set the day we shot what we ended up calling "the Ivanova dance." Wanted to make sure it was done correctly."
I don't know how well this is known, but at some point during season three JMS took Claudia Christian out on a date (which she didn't realise until after). I believe he was still married during season two. I'll just leave that quote there, and the thought that he wrote a scene that required Ivanova to do a humorous dance while making sex noises.

How can the "Push Button Automarketer" help get you the leads you need to make money in real estate? The Automarketer, autoresponders, email blasts, voice blasts, etc. can help bring in the leads you need. I'm going to explain how you can use all of these to get sellers to call YOU and accept your offer without even having to talk to them beforehand.
When trying to get Sellers to contact you, you have to target your advertising to the lead that you have so that it makes the most sense for them and solves their problem. They're not interested in going to a general website that has 12 different options.
You have to make it very specific towards why that lead is being directed to that site, otherwise they'll leave your site immediately. If you look at my websites, most of them are designed not as portals to take you to a bunch of different places but as an answer to a specific problem for a specific advertisement or a specific lead that we're driving to that site.
We don't want them going off to some other sites. We don't want them clicking on Google Ads. We want them to stay on your site and read your letter with your information, finding out about the house, going through the process that we're trying to get them to go through in order to try to sell them a house, help them buy a house, and in my case, sell them information about real estate investing; any of those things.
It's all the same. It doesn't matter whether you're selling plumbing or a real estate investing information or real estate itself – it's all the same concept in marketing – in direct marketing, you focus on the thing that they're going to do.
This next page that you'll see is for people who you're trying to work within the "For Rent Method". This is a seller's page where you drive people who are trying to get their houses rented or you drive people that are for sale by owner. We have some great techniques to get people to go to the site.
They don't go automatically – just because you have the site up doesn't mean that they're going to go to the site. You have to drive traffic to it, and you have to try to drive specific traffic to it with specific words and advertising to get them interested enough to look at the website and to read it and in this case, listen to the audio.
What we're doing in the "For Rent Method" marketing to the sellers is giving them an audio file that explains to them how we work and how we fill their property. It explains to them that it costs them no money to work with us, we're paid completely by the buyer and that it's easy for them to set it up.
It also builds our relationship with them. It builds our credibility with them and it shows them that we're not just some fly by night guy who watched late night TV and learned how to do this stuff. It gives them confidence that we know what we're doing.
On this site, there are audio explanations of how the program works. Below that, there's text that explains essentially the same thing. Then, there's a form for them to fill out with some questions about their house, asking them how much they want for the house, how much they want the rent to be, etc.
Once it explains the entire For Rent Method and how we work, it asks them to fill out this form. When they fill out the form, it sends us an email, and when we get it, we know, without fail that we will get 100% of those sellers to sign up with us and work with us; we've never had a problem that would cause that not to happen.
We suppose if you don't answer or return their calls, there is a possibility that you're not going to get it, but every time we've called them back and we've sounded halfway credible on the phone, they'll sign up with us.
There are people that are brand new at this so they don't sound all that credible because they're still learning the process, but they still get the deals because this is a great way to qualify that lead before it gets to you. Now, granted, a lot fewer people are going to fill out this form, but the people who do are going to be a lot more qualified.
If you're just getting started, you don't want to get all of your leads through this because you're not going to get enough of them, and you want to be good on the phone before you start taking these leads because you want to be able to bang them off when they come in. Once you automate the process and you start using the website, then it's going to be a lot more exciting.
I know I showed you the 'We Will Buy' site for the 'We Buy Homes' ads. I'm not going to show you this site. It's more proprietary. I want to keep it focused mainly for the people in my mentor program and the people who do my Push Button Method program. But at least I'm giving you an idea of how it works. If you don't want to get involved in my program, that's okay – you can still go out and create your own site that's similar to what I'm teaching. I'm telling you it'll work – it's a very powerful way to do it.
It also puts them into an autoresponder so that if they don't buy from you, it'll start sending them emails once every three weeks saying, 'Hey, I'm still interested in your property. Please give me a call.' You can stop sending those at any time. If they do start working with you, you just click a button and it stops that email from going out all the time.
That then takes us to the next video, which puts them into an autoresponder that sends them an email out every week and tells them what you're doing to find buyers for the properties. It educates them about the process and how you're doing it. It talks about pricing, which is the main key of the thing.
There are two main reasons we're doing this: one is that we want them to know that we're still on the job, that we're not just, again, fly by night – that we're credible, that we're paying attention and that we're doing something.
This is without us having to do a thing – it's all put into the autoresponder so it automatically sends them an email every week letting them know that we're doing more stuff. It also talks to them about price; that's the second most important thing – if the property is marketed the way that we teach and it doesn't sell, it's because of price.
You want your sellers to understand that, so you start talking to them by the second or third week about pricing. If it doesn't sell, then we should talk about the pricing and then the third or fourth week, it starts educating them more about why pricing makes all the difference.
This whole series of emails that we have already written (this isn't something that you have to create – this is something that we've already written that we use and its part of the mentor program and the "Push Button Method") – when you set those things up, it makes it very easy for you to convert those types of leads and to keep them on.
This process can be learned from being a realtor. To be a good realtor, you have to do a lot of listings. You list properties all day long and you put them in the MLS and if you price them right, they will sell, but if they're not priced properly, then they won't sell.
The problem was that I wouldn't contact my sellers after I listed my properties, because I knew that it didn't really matter if I did that, and it took a lot of time and I didn't want to talk to them and all I could say to them was, 'Sorry, I haven't got it sold yet. I just need to keep trying to sell it.'
I knew that that was a problem because the sellers would start cancelling their listings on me, and I was losing a lot of listings. I had a lot of them to lose, and I was losing a lot of them. I didn't want that to continue. Again, I didn't want to call them. I didn't want to talk to them. I didn't want to waste my time doing something that's not going to be productive and not going to make me money.
So what I did instead was I created a series of letters. This was before the autoresponders came out, before that technology was available and before email was ubiquitous. I created a series of letters we wrote and my assistant would send them out once a week.
She'd send out this letter to each of my listings, saying, 'Here's what we're doing,' and it would always talk about price, e.g. 'If you're thinking about dropping your price, please give me a call. We're more likely to get it sold.'
After about two months, I'd get a phone call and they'd go, 'Hey, Joe' (and I'd go, 'Oh no, I think they're going to cancel the listing on me') – 'You're right.' 'Right about what?' – 'I think it's time to lower the price.' – 'Oh alright. $5,000 or $10,000?' Then, we'd lower that price and get the property sold.
It would serve them, it would serve me, it would serve the buyer that came into the deal and everybody was happy through it. And I didn't have to do any extra work; all I had to do was set it up properly so that it was automated.
That is what these websites do. That is what autoresponders do, and when you get involved in our program, these are the things that are included in it, and you can use them immediately.

Moms are amazing, right? So many of them are seemingly super human in their abilities to work hard and love and protect their families. Millions of them spend years leaving the home before dawn to work one or two jobs and come home to take care of their families well into the night.
Even when their kids are grown, a lot of moms of LGBT kids never stop protecting us, knowing we still very much need their support.
Here are a few moms at the forefront in the fight for LGBT equality. We know there are many more who deserve to be written about (please write and tell us about a mamá or papá, abuelo or abuela who has meant a lot to you).
Somos Familia
The San Francisco Bay Area group Somos Familia was founded in 2007 by two moms with Latino gay and bisexual sons, to reach out to other families. The all-volunteer group established to create support and acceptance for Latina(o) lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning (LGBTQ) youth and their families. Like so many other groups, Somos Familia knows that family rejection can lead to a higher risk of depression, alcohol and drug abuse and other issues. And that family acceptance foments health and family unity. They're also created some great and moving videos.
International Organization Making Huge Strides
Familias por la Diversidad is an organization that has grown by leaps and bounds. GLAAD has helped the organization's leaders tell their stories in Spanish-language media, and we're so proud to see that this year a whopping 24 countries will be represented at their 5th international conference in Lima Peru June 27-30.
Bolivian immigrant and New York mom Nila Marrone has been a leader in Familias por la Diversidad, and founded Latino PFLAG in New York City. Her passion in life is to help mothers and fathers become strong advocates for their LGBT sons and daughters. She appears in two documentaries, one with her openly gay adoptive son, Frank, in "De Colores", and the other with her openly lesbian niece and goddaughter María in "Anyone and Everyone".
Moms Leading the Charge
I would bet good money that anyone who's met Los Angeles mom Leonor Holmstrom hasn't quickly forgotten her. An elegant lady of relatively small stature, Holmstrom has an infectious laugh and the kind of energy that motivates and inspires. Holmstrom, originally from Mexico, has been helping moms, dads and LGBT kids for years.
Rosa Manriquez is another great Los Angeles mom. A devout Catholic and active in her community and in the Latino Equality Alliance, Rosa has done interviews on CNN en Español and other outlets in order to educate others about the importance of family support. In Miami, two women who've made a huge difference are Isabel Gomez-Bassols, whose radio program on Univision Radio is listened to by millions and who helps guide her listeners toward acceptance, and super mom Eva Leivas-Andino, a community leader who never misses a chance to speak out about supporting LGBT kids.
Speaking Out on the So-called "Ex-Gay" Movement
Orange County, California mom Minerva Figueroa is fierce. A board member of the Orange County Equality Coalition (OCEC), she's been a longtime leader on LGBT issues. Minerva has written op-eds for Spanish-language papers and done television interviews about the importance of supporting LGBT sons and daughters and has been outspoken critic of the so called "ex-gay" movement.
Like so many of the moms profiled, Minerva has been a friend and protector to her own daughter and to many more who didn't have family support. Moms like Minerva and, like Rosa Feijoo Andrade in Mexico, along with moms in Latin America, are leading the way and making our world safer for their own kids and for us all--and for that we say, "Gracias Mamá!"
If you would like more resources to help your Latina family become more comfortable with discussing our issues, visit familiaesfamilia.org and on Sunday, don't forget to give your own mamá, or mom, some love and appreciation.

Florida State kicker Roberto Aguayo has been named a finalist for the Lou Groza Award. This should come as little surprise after the Seminoles kicker won the award in 2013 and has put together another dependable season kicking field goals and extra points for the defending national champions.
Maryland kicker Brad Craddock and West Virginia's Josh Lambert join Aguayo as finalists for this year's award for best kicker.
Aguayo is looking to become the second repeat winner of the Lou Groza Award. He would join another former Florida State kicker sharing that honor if he wins the award again. Sebastian Janikowski won the Lou Groza Award in 1998 and 1999. No other player has ever won the award multiple times.
Craddock is the only kicker in the country who has been perfect on all of his field goal attempts, and he has kicked a bunch of them. Craddock is a perfect 17-for-17 this season and the Australien kicker has shown great range at times as well.
No kicker in the country has kicked more field goals than Lambert though. The West Virginia kicker has kicked 24 of 32 kicks for the Mountaineers this season, and his 24 field goals made this season already surpasses the regular season high for kickers in the 2013 regular season.
All three finalists will be honored at a banquet on Tuesday, December 9 in West Palm Beach, Florida. The winner will be revealed during The Home DepotCollege Football Awards Show on Thursday, December 11 in Disney World.

Research on periglacial dynamics is conducted in the project 'Geomorphological and biophysical dynamics and landscape units in Mediterranean mountains (1999-2001), Sierra da Estrela'.
The main topics include air, ground and rock temperature monitoring, geomorphological mapping of relict features, and monitoring of contemporary periglacial dynamics in the area above 1600 m asl. The control of the cryogenic processes on the vegetation are studied, and the identification of the plant associations adapted to different cryogenic dynamics is estimated by A.B. Ferreira, G. Vieira and C. Mora (Lisbon University) J. Jansen, (Nijmegen University, The Netherlands), M. Ramos (Alcalá de Henares University, Spain). The collaboration between G. Vieira (University of Lisbon) and M. Ramos (Alcalá University) for studying Antarctic permafrost and active layer in the Livingston and Deception Islands continues, and new results were presented at international meetings. In 2001 a Portuguese Association of Geomorphologists was constituted (email: geomorf @ ceg. ul. pt). This is an important milestone for Portuguese geomorphology.

Board #219 | Coral and Cattleyas
A reader suggested that I focus on beach inspiration boards this week. Though the possibilities for beach weddings could easily take up more than a single week, I thought I'd go ahead with five days of beach inspiration boards showcasing some of the varied ways a couple can throw a beach wedding. Summer's almost here, after all!
Today's board could take place in Mexico, or another equally warm beachy destination. Coral and cattleya orchids are the two major decorative elements here, and I think they allow the natural beauty of the location to shine through. If you do decide to use coral as part of your wedding decor, be sure to use faux or responsibly harvested coral. Pops of orange add depth and boldness, and contribute to the romantically modern look of the coral and orchids.
Mood: warm, modern beach style
Palette: orange, white, tan

As I had cleared out all the beds before I left I was now ready to start sorting things out around the garden.
Saturday July 1:
Many of the beds were thickly covered with nettles so I lifted them, rough chopped and dug them into the soil to rot down (instant green manure!!!).
I found a small handful of Potato Onions that had survived my absence and planted these out in a wicking bed which had three surviving Parsley plants growing in it.
Monday July 3:
Bought and potted up Kale, Broccoli and Silverbeet seedlings put them in the Greenhouse to grow a bit bigger before facing the frosty mornings.
Tuesday July 18:
Planted out Broccoli, Silverbeet and Kale seedlings in a wicking bed in the shade tunnel.
Divided up some Clumping Onions/Shallots from the garden and planted them out in a more convenient position by the back entrance.
Thursday July 27:
Seeds sown into punnets on a shelf in Greenhouse:
Lettuce: Red Romaine, Dov
Salad Burnet
Summer Savory
Cleared weeds from a wicking bed full of Egyptian Onions.
Planted out seedlings of Kale and Silverbeet in a newly made wicking bed in the Shade Tunnel
July Harvest:
Shallot greens
Flat Leaf Parsley
Curl Leaf Parsley
