Elemental Conflict by JC Steel
I received an ARC copy of this book, but this in no way affects my review. This review is voluntary.
Elemental Conflict takes a different approach than Steel's previous works. This book focuses almost entirely on Ilan and Anst as the events from the previous two books start coming to a head. The action switches between them and two other characters from Elemental Affinity. I enjoyed the increased focus on Anst and Ilan, and the switch between them and the Affinity characters was done well.
This book does a decent job of explaining what happened in the earlier novels and how it relates to Ilan's current situation, but there are a few small holes. Reading the earlier books in the series does make things clearer. Plus, they're good books and you should read them anyway.
Since much of the story revolves around Ilan and Anst learning to deal with and coming to terms with what's happened to them, it's important that the interplay between the two works. Elemental Conflict delivers on that front. Neither character overshadows the other, and they have good chemistry together. Anst does fade into the background a little from time to time, but he definitely gets his moments.
The pace does change a little abruptly near the end. Presumably, this sets up the next story, but the sudden shift back into cloak-and-dagger politics at the end felt a bit out of place after the climactic event of the story.
Overall, Steel's newest release was a great read. ∞

I painted billboards, which are 14' high by 48' long, in the Des Moines market for 11 years. During that time I learned to paint just about every subject matter. The most important thing was that my painting was photographically realistic and very three dimensional so that the image could be read from a long way off. Everything on these billboards was painted, and some of the images are cropped to show my favorite parts. Please enjoy a few of my favorite images from that time in my life.
This is to give you an idea of the scale. You'll have to forgive my mullet. (It was the 80's.)

A lyrically subdued and humane masterpiece, Nuri Bilge Ceylan's 2002 Uzak – with its story appropriately set in a busy metropolis separated by two continents – takes its time to build up dramatic tension in a haunting meditation on selfishness, alienation, depression and shame.
What other film can visualise the past and the future so clearly without stepping one inch out of the present? Without magic or machines, writer-director Nuri Bilge Ceylan creates a house of mirrors so rich and revealing that the reflexions are immensely powerful. Uzak [Distant] shows two men so alienated from themselves, each other and the people around them, that they are forced to face what's in front of them: the other man. And in realising that the one is the other in the past and the other is the one in the future, they retrieve deeper into themselves. Continue reading

Dwalin (b. TA 2772), second son of Fundin, was one of the companions of Thráin II (2841-2845) in the King's attempt to reclaim Erebor; when Thráin vanished in Mirkwood, the Dwarves returned to Ered Luin, where the King's son, Thorin, had taken over reign. Dwalin, along with his brother Balin, joined Thorin in his quest to reclaim Erebor. After their success, Dwalin settled in Erebor, where he lived peacefully until his death (FO 91-92).

So nothing was ever found out about what happened to Thrain?ReplyDelete
Thrain was captured and put in jail in Dol Guldur. The Necromancer took his ring of power.ReplyDelete
Later Gandalf found Thrain in jail, at this time the dwarf was so diminished that he did not even remember his name (and Gandalf did not reconize the dwarf lord), Thrain gave the Map of the Lonely Mountain to the wizard then passed away.
It's only when Gandalf meet Thorin Oakenshield, years later at the Prancing Pney, he realized who was this old dwarf.
Exactly. (I left that part out to avoid giving too much away in my post.) :-)ReplyDelete

It's Drivin 'n' Cryin's 30th anniversary this year and we think well over twenty of those since they came to these shores. And this country's music fans are worse for it. My last venture to the Boston Music Room was to see another fine US country rock band The Dexateens who blew me away.
The six of us rock up to the venue just before start time to find a very thin crowd (that's in number and not in waist size). We make up about 10% of the audience and there's a worry that the band may not find the motivation to produce the goods to the music intelligencia who have made the effort tonight.
Those fears were blown away as they cranked it up to eleven and stormed into one of two tracks from Fly Me Courageous, 'Build a Fire'. It's a twin guitar attack with the fine Justin Lee Collins Warner E Hodges, of Jason and the Scorchers fame, on lead ably supported by the man himself Mr Kevn Kinney.
What follows is a true Southern Blues rock masterclass. Its song after song of relentless classics where they play for nearly two hours and could have played for another two more and no one would have been disappointed. They play a great cross section from their back catalogue and the three songs from the latest EP hold their own. There's room for a Beatles and Dylan cover that are both given a southern kick up the ass and our group's two requests were dutifully played.
A special word for the two guitarists who have not mellowed with age and rock like the proverbial ba$tards. They complement each other perfectly with the flamboyant Mr Hodges spinning his axe round his neck while the more sedate Kinney just sticks to his task wiping away anything in front of him with killer riffs
Don't ask me a highlight because every song was one. All killer, no filler. The band go off a couple of times but are dragged back on by the small but vocal crowd and even at the end Kevn comes back for one last solo.
A dozen gigs in this year and while there have been some good shows this is the first truly five star. If you know nothing about Drivin n Cryin but you like ass kickin, lip quenchin, foot stompin, head bangin, hard rockin, Southern blues then this is your band. It's a true crime against humanity that DnC and The Mumfords can exist on the same planet which acknowledges one and ignores the other.
Let's hope it's not another twenty odd years until they come over again. Come on Kevn don't let us down. Keep on rockin' y'all.

I want to resolve
TCP block configuration problems.
TCP is a transport protocol layered on top of the Internet Protocol (IP). It is commonly known as TCP/IP. If the block configuration or signal connections for TCP blocks do not follow best practices, the blocks generate errors. Apply these guidelines:
TCP Blocks Run Only on Target Computer
The Simulink® Real-Time™ TCP blocks function only when executed on the target computer. When simulated on the development computer, they do nothing.
Excluded Ports When Using Host-Target Connection
When you select the Use host-target connection parameter
in the TCP configure blocks, you cannot use ports
22222 and
22223. Simulink
Real-Time reserves
these ports for its own use.
Order of Operation of TCP Blocks
The real-time application must execute the TCP configure blocks before it executes the TCP Send or TCP Receive blocks.
As a best practice, connect the
Status output
of a TCP configure block to the
Enable input of
the associated TCP Send and TCP Receive blocks.
You can use a dedicated Ethernet card for TCP communication while using another card for communicating between the development and target computers. If there is a duplicate subnet calculated in a TCP block, you can get the following error during model initialization:
The subnet in this block is the same as or is a subset of the subnet calculated in ''block''. The block calculates the subnet by ANDing the IP address bitwise with the subnet mask.
Check the IP address and subnet you assigned to the target computer Ethernet card in the configuration block. The TCP implementation requires that the two communication channels use separate subnets.
The block calculates the subnet by ANDing the IP address bitwise with the subnet mask for each card. For example, these specifications result in the same subnet for both cards.
E1 (development-target): IP address: 192.168.0.25 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 ------------- Calculated Subnet: 192.168.0.0 E2 (TCP): IP address: 192.168.0.26 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 ------------- Calculated Subnet: 192.168.0.0
Try a configuration such as the following:
E1 (development-target): IP address: 192.168.0.25 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 ------------- Calculated Subnet: 192.168.0.0 E2 (TCP): IP address: 192.168.0.26 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.2 ------------- Calculated Subnet: 192.168.0.2
In some networks, the development computer must also be in the subnet where the TCP communication occurs. You can either add a second network card to the development computer or provide a gateway device to create a dedicated network for TCP communication.

- Aceh Tsunami Insights, from Family Care Foundation
Two years after the devastation of Aceh province by the tsunami, only 30% of those left homeless have gained access to permanent housing. The clean up alone -- for the most part getting rid of all of the debris left when the tsunami flooded half the city of Banda Aceh and drastically altered a 500-mile shoreline of villages -- has been a massive and successful undertaking.
When the tsunami struck Indonesia in late December 2004, Aceh province was involved in a thirty-year conflict with the central government, during which time Aceh was isolated from any Western influence. Aceh was closed to foreigners, journalists, NGOs, including even UN Agencies and the Red Cross/Crescent.
Aceh is considered the most Muslim part of the largest Muslim country in the world, with a rich cultural heritage that goes back centuries. A factoid is that of three ambassadors to the Muslim world retained by Elizabeth I of England, one of them was in Aceh.
However the regional conflict in Aceh was not to do with religion but the control of resources: oil, natural gas and timber.
In the wake of the tsunami and international organizations coming in to help with relief efforts, Banda Aceh, the capital of Aceh province, effectively turned into "NGO-ville". In addition to representative missions from various foreign governments, at one time 500 foreign NGOs were based in Banda Aceh.
By and large, the Achinese people are today very open to and thankful for Western intervention, not only financially and developmentally, but also for the peace that it has brought. In the three decades before the tsunami, Aceh was embroiled in the turmoil of federal troops confronting the local heavily armed GAM resistance army, so people were not comfortable going out into the streets at night. But this has all changed and the people of Aceh look at the presence of the international community as the best guarantee of ongoing peace and prosperity.
So the tsunami effectively opened the doors of Aceh to the world, hitherto closed for decades. A GAM spokesperson indicated that in retrospect, the Achinese regard the tsunami as a miraculous "act of God ... It is an added mercy that the reconstruction effort will last for years, for one can expect (and hope) that representatives of the international NGO's will remain yet a long time in Aceh, and that as witnesses they will deter the Indonesian government and the TNI from incurring further suffering on the people of Aceh".
While the NGOs obviously came to help on a humanitarian level, not everyone's interest in Aceh is for humanitarian reasons. With Aceh negotiating to try to get about a much larger percentage of the oil revenue pumped in their province, they stand poised to become a very rich area, with both the oil companies and the commercial entrepreneurs equally interested.

Diamond Jubilee of the Ohinemuri County 1885 - 1945
Council's Appreciation
Assistance from Public Works
Paeroa is indeed fortunate in more ways than one in being the headquarters for the district of the many Govt. Departments. The heads of the Departments in Wellington have acknowledged, and wisely so, the geographical centre that Paeroa is, and established offices in the town to cover a wide district. This has been a distinct advantage to the persons and organisations at Paeroa who have had occasion to have business associations with those Departments. There are very few, if any, who appreciate this more than the Council and executive officers of the Ohinemuri County Council.
On this, the occasion of its Diamond Jubilee, the Ohinemuri County Council and its executive officers desire to send their greetings to the officers in charge and the staffs of the local offices of the many Government Departments at Paeroa with which the Council has been associated during the past years, and to express thanks and appreciation through the medium of this booklet to them, not only to those of the present, but also of the past, for the assistance and co-operation given the Council and executive officers at all times, and the pleasant and courteous relations that have always existed between them. Without sorting out any in particular, mention must be made of the Public Works Department. There is no other Department that the Council has had to contact more than that Department, for the reason that they are so closely allied in their work.
Every year as far back as records show, the Council has had financial assistance from the Department in the way of grants for new roads and bridges, and also since 1924 the Main Highways Board has subsidised, through the Department, expenditure on maintenance and construction of Main Highways. The total must now amount to many thousands of pounds over the past years. All this has necessitated the Council being in constant touch with the Department, and practically on every occasion the Department's engineers and staff have always shown keen interest in the Council's welfare and the desire to co-operate and assist as much as possible. The engineer at present in charge, Mr. M. J. Thomas, together with Mr. L. Oldham, Highways Overseer, and the present staff, are by no means exceptions, and they have always been found eager to co-operate and assist. This spirit of goodwill has not remained at the Paeroa office of the Department, but has extended to the district engineers and staff at Auckland, and also to the Minister and the heads of the Department at Wellington. The thanks of the Council goes to them one and all.
Neighbouring Local Bodies
Co-operation and Friendship
At this time of Diamond Jubilee celebrations the Council and executive officers of the Ohinemuri County Council desire to send greetings to the Councils, Boards and executive officers of the neighbouring local bodies, and to express thanks and appreciation for the spirit of co-operation and friendship that has always existed between them.
Particularly it is desired to mention this County's parent body — the Thames County Council, its offsprings the Waihi Borough Council, the Paeroa Borough Council, and the Hauraki Plains County Council.
The other neighbouring local bodies are the Piako County Council, the Tauranga County Council, the Te Aroha Borough Council, the Tirohia-Rotokohu Drainage Board and the Thames Valley Electric Power Board.

Free Will and the Cognitive Revoltuion
Within the area of cognitive psychology, both new and old, I have rarely seen mention of this issue, but it has always seemed to me to be one of the more important aspects which the study of us as cognitive agents touches upon and must eventually deal with in order to fully describe and explore the experience of a living organism.
Taking the traditional cognitivist view into examination, it seems clear that the little homonculus in our head would be considered the epitome of a free thinking free willed cognitive agent, and that schools of psychology which affiliate with these traditional views would be of the opinion that we very much possess the ability to make unconstrained choices. Of course thes eopinions would not be all black and white, and with the influence of psychoanalysis, behaviorism (which has since been exiled) and more recently information processing theory many in the field would admit that our choices are somewhat influence by factors such as our environment. It is just that this traditional ideology at its core would lean heavily towards a human as a free agent, which decides for itself how to navigate the world.
In roaming among more modern cognitive psychology perspectives such as embodiment, enaction and biogenics there is a definite trend back towards semi-behavioristic tendencies, in that the environment begins to play a much bigger role in how we function and act. The heart of these new ideas is to rid the body from notions of mind and erase the myriad of internal representations that some believe happen there. Empahsis is also put on cognitive experience being created not due to the interaction between body and world, but being the interaction itself, and this opens up the idea that the environment we try to make sense of is just as important as the body making sense of it.
I feel that these new ways of thinking about living itself raise the age old battle of free will once again, as stripping the body of the mind seems to posit a situation where the interactions between body and world occur almost without internal direction, and where the environment plays such a major role thats its infulence can be said to be almost all-encompassing. While to a certain extent this could just be a terribly misguided interpretation of these views, I cannot escape when I read more of these theories I feel like they are unknowingly or maybe very consciously creating a picture of life and cognition that is not only fresh and radical, but also very traditional in the sense that a very deterministic undercurrent runs strongly through a lot of these ideas.

A great article in Local Property News highlighting the pros and cons between auction venues.
There are usually two choices when it comes to the auction venue for your property – in the agent's rooms or at the property. (There is a third option – at a public venue such as a club function room which is where agents hold their auctions if they have so many that their rooms will not be adequate.) There are advantages and disadvantages of both in-room and on-site auctions.
1. Buyers put themselves out to go to an agent's office or public venue so you know that people who attend are serious – no curious neighbours or people out for a jog. In some ways it's easier to achieve a higher price as everyone is facing the front and it's harder (but not impossible!) for two bidders to make eye contact and agree to pull out of a bidding race, especially as there is less chance that they will be seated near each other when there are lots of people.
2. If there is a tenant, it is often simply not practicable to hold the auction on-site.
3. The agent's rooms are often more comfortable and less cramped than inside the property (not always of course!) – but at least the weather doesn't make much difference to attendance and atmosphere.
4. You are unlikely to have neighbours invading your privacy just for their own amusement – and maybe making inappropriate comments and putting people off.
5. On the downside, if there are lots of properties for sale and yours is not early in the Order of Sale, purchasers can get fatigued as the night wears on. As each sale is processed, more and more people leave, so if your property is last, there may seem to be little interest in it.
1. The atmosphere can be more emotionally charged, especially if the property is unusual or highly sought after. This can sometimes make buyers feel more desire for the property and they may offer more money in order not to miss out. It is often harder for them to stick to their limit when the property they desire is right there (unless of course they are limited by loan limitations as many are).
2. Passersby add to the atmosphere, especially if they are complimentary about the house for sale within earshot of interested purchasers.
3. Buyer attention is focused on one property so your property isn't overwhelmed by the sheer number of other properties being auctioned.
In the end, your choice of auction venue may depend on practical considerations or the usual practice of the agent, but knowing the advantages and disadvantages of each venue means you can influence the decision according to your own informed choice.
If you choose in-rooms, ask your agent to guarantee you a spot near the top of the order of sale. If you have time before your property goes on the market, attend several auctions of each kind and assess them for yourself before making the final decision.

Professor Albus Dumbledore and I threw a Halloween party yesterday.
He even had a friend of his own in attendance.
She stayed in her costume a lot longer than Albus, however.
There were many failed attempts to put the costume back on him. We even tried bribery with beef sticks to get him to hold still, but it was all in vain.
He just didn't want to be a shark.
Despite my failure to dress my dog in a festive ensemble, everything else went well. It was lovely to catch up with human friends I haven't seen in ages, and the treats were a success.
So I'm pawning it off on neighbors.
I may keep this situation up through November if the pumpkins last. It has a nice non-creepy fall feel to it.
If they wither and die soon, it will give me the perfect excuse to set up for Christmas early, though….

Get Your NFC Playoff Tickets!January 11, 2009 at 11:34 pm | Posted in Football, Sports, Tickets | Leave a comment
Tags: Arizona, Auction, Cardinals, Eagles, Football, NFC, Philadelphia, Sports, Tickets, University of Phoenix Stadium
Arizona Cardinals beat the Carolina Panthers 33-13. Philadelphia Eagles beat the New York Giants 23-11. What that means is this… Glendale, AZ will host the NFC Championship game at the University of Phoenix Stadium next Sunday, January 18 2009.
Tickets went on sale today at 3:00PM Arizona Time. They were SOLD OUT at 3:06PM.
But, don't fret – I happen to know where you can get 6 of them. If you are a group of 4 looking to get rowdy in the Terrace Level then click this! If you would prefer some upscale seating featuring cushier seats with wider widths and access to actual bars rather than a concession line full of people waiting on a draft beer – then you will definitely need these seats.
No, these aren't my tickets. And no, mentioning my name won't reduce their auction price – but what the hell, at least I know the guy selling them and can vouch for their authenticity.
So, what are you waiting for, get your giant foam fingers ready, paint your chests and scoop these tickets before they are gone!

Letter To A Past MePosted: December 2, 2012 Filed under: Fun writing | Tags: letter to a past me, looking back, memories, remenissing, stolen from another blog 3 Comments
I recently read a post from
Who talked about writing a letter to her 13 year old self. I thought i'd do something similar but just to my past self in general. It'll be in no particular order, but it's something light hearted and sounded like fun. Hope you don't mind Ro!
Here goes…
Dear past me
I have no idea where to start with this. Hmmm. I'll just go with the flow and see what happens.
Remember when you were about 8 or 9 you and another boy were going to sing a song together for prize day? It was your first performance, and you were so nervous you ended up bursting in to tears in front of your music teacher. No wait it was on the bus to school. A classroom assistant had to take you round to your music teacher to reassure you though that it would be fine. I bet you didn't think that later that year you would be performing in the choir, and be in "Joseph and the amazing technicoloured dream coat"? Or that you would keep in the choir and go to compititions and even be in a band later on in secondary school.
Remember when you first visited the what was then the guide dogs centre? You didn't really understand it back then but had always gone on that when you were 16 you'd apply for a guide dog. I think that day you got a cuddley pup called Willow and a tray.
Remember how quiet you used to be in school? Just look at you now. I bet you'd never think you'd be doing talks and that about guide dogs.
Remember when you first met your rehab worker? Your mum had said it would either be a man or your socialworker but you wanted your socialworker as you were and still are quite fond of her. I still remember the first couple of lessons with him. The first day he talked about canes, and the next time you went to where your socialworker worked. You used a cane with a pencil tip. Your rehab worker had you hold the cane like a motorbike. This was to get you to know the angle of the way to hold the cane. You were so embarrassed. You flew round that building. You found it very scarey though when you went outside. Little did you know then that that same rehab worker would later ask if you wanted a guide dog, and you'd still see him today ocasionally.
Remember when you were in first year of your school? You got a product called a Braille and speak. You thought you had to be taught to use it and you kept using the perkins. Your CD player kept making this weird noise in class one day and one of the boys asked if you had your braille and speak. You thought someone would physically ask you to use it and you wouldn't use it on your own. If it wasn't for your R E teacher wanting you to use it you'd probably still be using the perkins.
Remember when you first learnt to touch type? You thought you were the best when you found the two little dots the teacher had put on the F and J keys so you'd find them. You then got speech for your home computer (Supernova), and all you wanted to do was type swear words into it! You later learnt how to use a pedal and tape to do your work that the teacher had recorded onto it.
Remember you wanted to learn the violin? When you played it you sounded like you were strangling the cat! You gave that up about two years later when you got into secondary school as you got bored and didn't want to practice. You also played the keyboard in the band a few years later, and were in the choir.
That day you were running with your friends and you ran in front of your friend who was guiding you and she cut her knee badly? Well that wasn't your fault. You blamed yourself for weeks and wouldn't tell anyone you felt so ashamed. She never blamed you, so why should you? It was a total accident. It was partly the teachers fault too as she was partially sighted and guiding you and the teachers never thought.
When you got bullied, it was really important that you told someone instead of someone finding out because you were quieter than usual or something and you ended up bursting into tears. Thankfully now you're slightly better and will try to tell people or at least write it down. You hated crying in front of people though and still do. You're very private with your feelings. But it's good you're sharing some of the load now if you need to. You were only bullied because you were friends with these two girls, who had to leave school early since the bullying was very bad for them. Unfortunately you've had to lose these friends as you were taken advantage of a little.
Remember the braille reading compititions you used to have to do? You'd have to read braille for 3 minutes or something. And you couldn't look at the braille until the clock started. They were every three years, but don't seem to happen now. People of all ages were there. You came second in one of them, and i can't remember what you won. Think it was a little radio? Unfortunately due to the nerves and all of one compitition, you ended up with a very bad fever because of it. You didn't feel warm though but unfortunately you ended up having to go to the hospital because you had like a mini seizure. You lost your hearing, and became totally non responsive. Thankfully that doesn't happen so much now, but you do ocasionally lose your hearing if you stand for too long which panicks you no end.
That little girl you took under your wing when you were in the last two years of secondary school? I think you did a great deal to help her. And you'll get to meet her again when you're 22 at a sponsored walk for guide dogs. And she'll still remember you. She'll be 12 then and she was only 6 when you first met her.
Remember that little boy you met when you were 13 or 14? He had said he was 13 too. He had ceribral paulzy. When he asked you to come over to his house for tea and when he asked you for sex, you shouldn't have been quiet. Luckily your parents knew something was wrong and told you to stop seeing him which you did thank god. God knows what he was capable of! Scarey thought.
Remember when you first learnt how to email? You wanted to email everyone you knew because you could, and you thought it was really cool.
Remember how jealous you used to get when you didn't have a phone and every else did? You'll get one when you're 18 and you'll love it. That first text you sent took you like half an hour to send! Nnow you're on your second phone, but you don't want to go near touch screen phones as you like your buttons too much.
Remember that singer you used to like when you were about 12? He was called Declan Galbraith. Wonder does he still sing?
Remember you used to like just recording yourself having a conversation? You used to love playing it back to yourself too.
Remember when you went to see Saragh brightman with your uncle when you were about 9? You sat up to about two o'clock that morning because you couldn't drink your hot chocolate because you thought it was too hot. You'll go to Pink concerts years later, and you'll also go to the Script later this year.
Remember when you wanted to become a social worker? You shouldn't have let the fact that you had to do your GCSE maths in the college because the teacher at your school didn't teach you it put you off. Unfortunately you got bored of that idea. You're probably too caring anyway, so maybe social work wouldn't be for you. You did volunteer with the Cedar foundation teaching computers, and you really enjoyed that, but unfortunately you didn't know how to say no. You're kept busy now with the talks and that you do though but i know you wish you were doing more.
I bet in school you never thought you'd have a guide dog years later. I remember when that was suggested you thought it was crazy. But you stuck with it and you've had your dog for two years now.
I suppose i'd better end this now, as i'm over 1 thousand 400 words. It's amazing what happens when you ramble!
I guess all i've got to say is live your life to the full, go for things, and never let your blindness stop you. Take every opportunity that comes your way if you can.
I really enjoyed writing this, and i guess i'll look back in the future and wonder what made me write this. Thanks Ro for the idea for it!
The me now.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Republican tax overhaul introduced in Congress could affect funding for the proposed $1.9 billion stadium that will house the Las Vegas Raiders.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported Saturday that a provision of the 429-page bill ends tax-exempt status on bonds used to pay for stadiums used by professional sports teams.
The Oakland Raiders' bid to build a 65,000-seat domed football stadium clearly falls within circumstances that would be banned in legislation President Donald Trump has vowed to approve by Thanksgiving. The stadium's financing plan includes $750 million in publicly issued tax exempt bonds.
A staff adviser to the Las Vegas Stadium Authority and the Southern Nevada Tourism Infrastructure Committee says he's been inundated with calls about the change. He says it could increase costs or cut returns for investors.

Short and Sweet: Border War
Should it come to it, I will gladly consider it my patriotic duty to take up arms in a fight to protect the USA from the continued invasion across our southern border. There is no need to discuss this illegal invasion issue further. The opinions and the battle lines are well-formed. I vehemently believe in the traditional American way of life. I believe in our Constitution, and demand that it be upheld – with blood – if necessary. I will do whatever it takes to protect my family's well-being. Our country's destruction is taking place right before our eyes! Those who enable this illegal invasion from the south, (and in doing such, are recklessly assisting in the planned destruction of the #USA) are now doing so at their own peril. I have absolutely no qualms about taking part in live-fire battle with these traitor enablers, whomever they are, in order to protect The United States of America.
(This writing is strictly opinion – and I'm damned proud of it.)

I really loved the well-written article by former Secretary of State Madeleine (shouldn't that be Meddlin?) Albright on the Trinidad Express on Friday 11th January. Such hubris, such hypocrisy compressed into twelve paragraphs. It was exactly the sort of historically decontextualised drivel I have come to expect from North Atlantic political figures (although, given what passes for local journalism and radio talk, it has spread here as well).

Volunteer in the South Pacific: Fiji and Samoa
Projects Abroad offers a number of volunteer opportunities in the beautiful Southern Pacific islands of Fiji and Samoa. As a Care volunteer in Fiji or a Care volunteer in Samoa, you would work in a kindergarten or care centre, helping the busy staff there in whatever way you can. Or as volunteer Teaching in Fiji or Teaching in Samoa, you will be working in a school teaching conversational English. The students will be eager to learn from you…and learn about you! If you have a background in any other subject you could teach that as well - just let us know when you apply.
We have offices in Fiji in in Nadi, on the island of Viti Levu. All of our volunteer opportunities are located in these cities and in the surrounding areas. Our office in Samoa is located in the capital, Apia, where our volunteers live and work.

There are plenty of great destinations to go to in and around Fiji and Samoa while you are volunteering abroad. Weekend trips are regularly organized by Projects Abroad staff and volunteers to enjoy the sun and sea of the South Pacific. Or you could simply take off to swim and relax on one of Fiji's or Samoa's many small secluded islands.
Many volunteers also like to reserve some time to explore other parts of the South Pacific. You could travel to Vanuatu, travel to Tonga, or travel to Tuvalu. A trip to New Zealand or Australia is also just a short flight away!

It's not so much that bad things happen, it's just that when the good things happen but there's no one to celebrate you. (TW: mental health issues, suicide)
I've been thinking about this topic a lot lately. I've been single for the better part of 7 years. I'm 33, so I was single during that time when everyone was getting married. I was also struggling with depression, and it took the better part of those 7 years to finally find a treatment plan that worked (I was in and out of hospital, multiple suicide attempts). Very few people know about my depression, I'm one of those people who when others find out that I have a mood disorder, they're shocked (since I'm high functioning). During those 7 years, I was also in a severe car accident (I was a pedestrian, hit by a car that went through a stop sign) and still have post-concussive symptoms.
However, also during those 7 years I got my master's degree in engineering, started a PhD, quit a PhD because the funding was cancelled and immediately then embarked on a job as a first-year college physics teacher - essentially my dream job. I'm fortunate in that sense - my scrappiness has always allowed me to do well career wise, and I basically have a super sweet deal in my teacher job - the pay and benefits are good, we get a ton of vacation, my colleagues are great and I love my students (even though they drive me crazy sometimes).
But, because I'm single, there's no one to plan these celebrations. I've realized over the last 10 years or so that as we get older, celebrations of "you" are usually spearheaded by significant others, and rarely friends. The only time it seems that celebrations are organised by friends are showers - wedding and baby. No one offered to throw me a graduation party (well, my mother did, but she promptly forgot about me when my sister-in-law announced she was pregnant - I wasn't surprised. Also, since I didn't want the type of party she wanted (i.e. where she lives, a 10-hour drive away from where I live) where she could basically bask in my accomplishment and take credit for it and be the centre of attention, I doubt it would have happened anyway). No one offered to throw me a 30th birthday party, even though I almost died 6 months before, and was still convalescing. People asked me if I was going to throw a party, and no one offered to help me plan it.
.And you know what? That makes me sad.
Yes, there's always the "Throw your own party!" chorus with these types of complaint, but you know what happens when you throw your own party? Usually, you can't enjoy that party because you're busy hosting. And that sucks. And yes, I've asked people to plan things for me, but nothing ever come of it. It makes me feel like I don't matter to people, that I'm unimportant. It also doesn't help with the suicidal ideation that I suffer from.
I remember when all my friends were having their weddings and feeling incredibly resentful of all the attention and gifts they were getting. Most of my friends were professionals, living with their partners for multiple years, so they everything they needed and basically the wedding gifts were an upgrade to their lifestyle. I, on the other hand, was "student-broke", and will be for the next several years as I pay off student loans. This fact usually doesn't bother me - I made the choice to go back to school. But it just felt so UNFAIR (yes, I'm going to use that word like a 5-year-old) that people were showered with gifts and attention for having found a partner, and no one was willing to do the same for me.
That being said, I look back on that time now and I'm much gentler with myself about how I felt, because it's totally normal for someone who's been through all that to feel resentful in that kind of situation. It's gotten easier with the years, and as people have babies and life hits them smack in the face, there's a feeling of relief a bit. It's not schadenfreude because I don't take pleasure in it, but that many of these people finally got a dose of how life can be really really hard.
All that to say, I wish we celebrated people more for their accomplishment, you know? And that people didn't assume that your family will throw the party if you don't have a significant other. Sometimes, you just want to feel like those wins you get in life are worth celebrating by other people, because YOU'RE worth celebrating. Regardless of wether or not you have a partner or a supportive family.
Thanks for reading my rambling. I've had a long week, since a colleague is away on sick leave and I'm working at a 150% workload covering his classes and my own. I'm feeling extra sensitive because my friends know I've been having a hard time, but no one's offered to help me out (even though I've asked). It's really disheartening.

Here we are again- staring in the face of another school year! It doesn't seem possible but it's here nonetheless. I don't state that with sadness- quite the opposite! The beginning of each year is a renewed opportunity to have a positive impact on young lives and interact with a myriad of unique colleagues.
We welcome the Class of 2022 as we embark on the final year for our Class of 2019. Our goal for all students remains to help them make memories, pursue passions and leave us prepared for the next journey!!
We adopted a whole school fundraiser this year – working toward supporting a member of our larger community. It is our hope to not only have a positive impact on this family- but to understand and appreciate the importance of the greater good- a lesson for all time!

Moving day is upon us! Well, not quite a day as such, rather a weekend, and just like in the 3rd round of golf, the 21st round of the Aviva Premiership will see those teams left in the mix for the top 4 with hopes for the play offs, the top 6 and hopes of a place at the top table in the rugby champions, or, indeed in one teams case, give their all to try to do the massively improbable, and escape the trap door that leads into the championship next season make another push towards achieving their goals and ambitions, fuelled by a wave of hope and expectation from those of us sat in the stands, in the pub or behind our sofas. Perhaps one of the greatest elements of this is that despite all the highs and lows of each of our respective seasons that we have already experienced, we all start this weekend afresh and hopeful, with the club colours adorned with the same amount of pride as they have always been. What past results? What hurt? What elation has already befallen us? Today is a new day, this round a new round, this hope a new hope.
So just as you cannot stop the spring from arriving by cutting all the flowers, none of us can escape the emotional rollercoaster awaiting us. This weekends serving? The Big Sting. The Ricoh will be resplendent in back and gold, with more than a smattering of black, green and gold from our visitors and challengers, Northampton Saints. As an interesting aside Northampton only adopted the gold stripe into their kit in 1905 when they faced the touring New Zealanders, a team just like ours that enjoy the speed and excitement of a open fast paced encounter, If only we had their success rate! However when you look at our past honours, 6 time League Champions, 2 time European Champions, Parker Pen Shield Winners plus 2 Tetley Bitter Cups to our name is quite a haul, and although Saints trophy cabinet is somewhat smaller having 1 league title, 1 European title and 2 Challenge Cup trophies in their possession is not a record to be sniffed at. This is a club, like ours, that knows what it takes to win things, and what winning feels like. The problem is this feeling is like a dearly missed friend with many warm memories at present rather than that intense acute, invigorating sensation that the likes of Exeter and Sarries can enjoy.
But what motivation exists in this fixture? Saints are adrift in rugbys version of no mans land, 10th place, 14 points off relegation, 20 points off Champions Cup qualification is a horrible hiatus to be in. Pride will definitely be a motivator, and they showed that in spades in their 27-21 away win at Welford Road last time out. Tigers tamed, derby honours claimed for another year has certainly softened the edges of frustration and anger at the Gardens. However the bitter pills of conceding 118 points and 18 tries to Saracens in the 2 league games this year, the sacking of Jim Mallinder and now the loss of Captain Dylan Hartley and the immediate retirement of Rob Horne have left their unwanted side effects. Yet when you look at a club that have the names of Sir Ian McGeechan, Gregor Townsend, Matt Dawson and Paul Grayson on their alumni then you know this is a club and current team that will do whatever they can to get another moral boosting win Sunday, and with a 42% win rate away from home in the Premiership they have a chance.
In our camp, we can look back to a 5 point, emotion enhancing victory last time out against Worcester in a 30-15 victory with a 60% Wade adding a brace to his vat of tries. Yet to concede 14 points in the dying minutes was sloppy. Championship winning teams turn the screw with unemotional ferocity even when the opposition are well beaten, we do not have that hard nosed edge, yet we are going to need to find it, not only to prevail this weekend, but it is a weapon that should be in the armoury to be called upon when we are looking to vanquish top end opponents and raise silverwear come seasons end.
Historically Saints have 7 wins to our 6 since 2011/2012, including a dominating 74-13 home win against us in the last round of the 2013/2014 season. Yet closer analysis reveals in recent seasons since they took the league honours results have swung in our favour. 6 wins in the last 7 outings are enjoyable statistics, with the only loss a 52-30 Away defeat at the Gardens when Hughes was controversially sent off for an accidental collision with George North as the Welsh wing went in to score. Thankfully the 3 match ban was overturned on appeal, and much needed clarity created about accidental and intentional outcomes, as otherwise rugby armageddon would of surely ensued, highlighted eloquently by Michael Aylwin, the Guardians rugby correspondent who stated that to not differentiate between intent and accident would mean that the only way to avoid accidents would be "not to play rugby". Thankfully for all of us egg chasers this was a course not trodden, a path not followed and Rugby rumbles on, long may that continue!
So where does this leave us this Sunday? We're in for a cracker! Northampton uninhibited by expectation of qualification, relieved of fear of relegation have all to gain and little to lose, yet 2 wins and 8 defeats away from home puts a solid D grade in their report card and a "see me" note from their incoming DOR Chris Boyd. We on the other hand have the pressure of reaching the play offs and ensuring that qualification for Europe is done and dusted by our trip to the Falcons. A win this weekend and a win for Newcastle against Tigers and Bath against Gloucester Lions in the west country derby will ensure both occur before a conversion is kicked in round 22. We will have to step up our performance though, play for 80 minutes, win the gain line battle, and ensure our set piece percentage is in the high 90s. Our forwards are the key to this, Mullen, Cruise, Taylor, Willis, Launchers, Chesty, Cooper Wooley et al have to play their part. Do this and it gives the likes of Robson and Cipriani front foot ball, unleash the talents of Gopperth, the guile of De Jongh and Daly, the speed of Wade and the brilliance of Le Roux. And let us not forget the likes of Bassett, Eastmond, Gaby, Myall, Hasks, Rowlands, Thompson and Young to mention a few, we are blessed!
Yet what writer and what Waspie would I be without mentioning 3 Wasp legends that we will be seeing adorning the black and gold for the last time at the Ricoh. That is Danny Cipriani, James Haskell and Guy Thompson. It is hard to find words that do justice the input and contribution these lads have put into the club we all love. But when they do move on to pastures new I want them to know that all of us will miss them, and all of us cannot thank them enough. We will make the stadium rock especially for you this weekend, you've done the jersey proud lads, and……..once a Wasp ALWAYS a Wasp!
Now lets go get a win this thing! And remember….
Once a Wasp ALWAYS a Wasp!

Whey protein powder may be a popular choice, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it's the healthiest option or the best choice for your unique dietary needs. In fact, there are several good reasons to select a whey-free protein powder. With 25 grams of all-natural chicken protein in every 30-gram scoop, CHiKPRO Chicken Protein Isolate Powder is a smart alternative for anyone who is wary of whey.
Weighing Whey
When you're shopping for a protein powder, you're likely to find a plethora of inexpensive whey-based products. Unfortunately, many of these contain sweeteners, preservatives, and other unnecessary additives. Of course, it's important to examine the ingredient list of any protein product carefully. How does CHiKPRO fare when put under the microscope? With protein sourced from real, all-natural chicken and no antibiotics, allergens, or gluten, it's a great choice for people committed to clean eating.
What Is Whey?
If your only exposure to whey comes from the nursery rhyme "Little Miss Muffet," then you could probably use a little more information before making a decision about this type of protein. Quite simply, whey is a dairy protein and a byproduct of cheese production. It is the watery part of milk that remains after the formation of curds.
Worries About Whey
Why are so many people reluctant to consider even high-quality whey protein powders? Whey may be a popular protein, but it isn't perfect. People worried about whey cite many concerns:
- Allergies and Intolerances: Whey is a dairy product, and dairy is considered a major allergen. In addition, a large segment of the population lacks the enzymes necessary to process lactose. For those with allergies or food sensitivities, any dairy product, including whey, can be dangerous or distressing.
- Digestion Troubles: Whey can be difficult to digest. Many people complain of gas, bloating, or gastrointestinal discomfort when they consume it.
- Elevated Insulin Levels: Consuming whey spikes blood sugar and insulin levels, sending them soaring at a rate similar to high-carb foods like bread.
- Acne Issues: Whey and other dairy products are known to trigger acne in some people. Studies and anecdotal evidence suggest there is a connection between whey and acne.
- Less Satiety: Protein is generally praised for helping people feel fuller for longer. Unfortunately, whey protein is absorbed so rapidly that it doesn't hold off hunger pangs as well as other proteins.
A Whey-Free Protein Powder
If you've decided that whey isn't the protein for you, check out CHiKPRO. This whey-free protein powder has all the top-notch protein that you're looking for and none of the undesirable additives that you'd like to avoid. With no dairy, soy, allergens, or gluten, it's easy on your digestive system. Plus, it contains no carbs, so it's a great fit for paleo and ketogenic meal plans. Explore our website to learn more.

An RKHS framework for functional data analysis Linear combinations of random variables play a crucial role in multivariate analysis. Two extension of this concept are considered for functional data and shown to coincide using the Lo`eve-Parzen reproducing kernel Hilbert space representation of a stochastic process. This theory is then used to provide an extension of the multivariate concept of canonical correlation. A solution to the regression problem of best linear unbiased prediction is obtained from this abstract canonical correlation formulation. The classical identities of Lawley and Rao that lead to canonical factor analysis are also generalized to the functional data setting. Finally, the relationship between Fisher's linear discriminant analysis and canonical correlation analysis for random vectors is extended to include situations with function-valued random elements. This allows for classification using the canonical $Y$ scores and related distance measures.

Vogelsang weltweit
This year too the IFAT, the world's leading trade fair for management of water, waste water, waste and raw materials, will be taking place in Munich. Vogelsang will also be presenting its efficient waste water technology there, including the new XRipper XRG for maximum flow rates and our XRipper XRC100-960QD, which offers maximum flow rates for narrow widths. Visit us at our trade fair stand and test the XRipper out for yourself.

Hall B1, Stand 347/446
"Wet wipes, disruptive matter and in some countries even fatbergs, are clogging pumps and entire sewer channels. This is presenting those responsible with major challenges," explains Managing Director Harald Vogelsang. "With the new XRipper Giant (XRG) series, we can offer effective cutting solutions even for large sewer channels with very high flow rates."
Demands placed on waste water technology are increasing all the time. Problems such as wet wipes, textiles or fatbergs in sewers or prior to pump systems can have negative effects on the operation of the sewage treatment plant. For this reason waste water grinders are becoming more and more important in order to prevent the clogging and blocking of sewer channels and pump stations. Vogelsang can offer the perfect solution here with the XRipper.
Our topics at the IFAT
At the IFAT, we will be presenting the new XRipper Giant (XRG) waste water grinder with flow rates of up to 3,000 m3/h – the perfect solution for particularly large sewer channels. The high-capacity units installed at the side allow large quantities of waste water to pass through the XRipper. Any disruptive matter like wet wipes or textiles is reliably halted and conveyed through the cleaner into the centre, where it is efficiently cut down to an unproblematic size by the new One-Piece Ripper rotors.
The new XRipper XRC series is the counterpart to the XRipper XRG. With a breadth of just over 300 mm, the XRipper XRC100-960QD will fit into even the tightest of sewer channels, thereby preventing blockages of downstream components. At an accumulation height of up to one meter, the XRC100-960QD offers throughput rates of up to 690 m3/h, making it the compact solution for demanding tasks in sewer channels.
Monolithic Ripper rotors are at the heart of the XRipper waste water grinder. With counter-rotating blade rotors, they shred disruptive matter contained in waste water such as wet wipes, textiles or pieces of wood efficiently and powerfully, reducing them to a size that protects downstream components from blockages and clogging. The new One-Piece rotors are made from a single block and do not even require a carrier shaft in the housing.
Their robustness and resistance to bending is a real advantage for customers since no supporting bearings are required. At the same time they result in huge time savings due to faster maintenance and replacement of parts, since only the two ripper rotors need to be replaced. New monolithic One-Piece Ripper rotors are already installed in the XRipper XRG and XRipper XRC100-960QD.
Digitalization is changing the face of waste water technology too. As an experienced partner in waste water management of many years standing, we have recognized this trend by offering our customers a future-oriented control technology for waster water applications with the new PCU generation. Connection via ProfiNet and the OPC-UA interface enables rapid, platform-independent communication both between machines (M2M) and between humans and machines (HMI).
Visit us in hall B1 at stand 347/446 and see for yourself how simple operating the Vogelsang XRipper is via iPad and how easy it is to read the relevant operating data.

"Investing in UVI just got easier..." That is the message visitors to the University of the Virgin Islands web site are now receiving with the newly implemented online giving feature found at www.uvi.edu. A prominent button on the UVI homepage - "Support UVI, Donate Now" - offers all members of the community and potential supporters a quick, easy and secure way to make online donations using credit cards.
The online giving form provides UVI supporters with a variety of ways to tailor their gifts. According to Ardrina Scott-Elliott, UVI's director of Advancement Services, donors can select from seven levels of giving, make recurring gifts to the university and have the ability to designate a specific UVI area that should receive the funds. There is even an option to take advantage of matching gift programs offered by some companies and organizations.
Scott-Elliott pointed out that a federal Title III grant was secured to pay for the development of the online giving system, associated hardware and ongoing support. She also said that increasing the level of support generated for the University is a key goal of UVI President Dr. David Hall.
"There is no greater investment we can make in the present and the future, than to invest in the mental, emotional and spiritual development of our students," Dr. Hall said. "An engaging, demanding and sensitive educational institution has enormous transformative power. Your support of this University will make a difference in whether we can transform the Virgin Islands, the region and the world."
Scott-Elliott said that the new online giving function is tied in with the existing record-keeping services used by UVI's Office of Institutional Advancement. Donors are immediately provided with online confirmation of gifts and will also receive an acknowledgement at their email addresses.
The University is now actively promoting the new online giving service. At the end of June, an "email blast" calling attention to the effort was sent to more than 7,000 UVI alumni. "Alumni had been asking for this type of tool, and now it's available," said Linda I. Smith, UVI's director of Annual Giving and Alumni Affairs. "It's a very flexible, secure and user-friendly way to support UVI and I'm encouraging everyone to make use of this new tool," Smith said.
The University has also prepared a mailing campaign to support the introduction of online giving. It will go to alumni for whom email contact information is not available and to local businesses and other supporters. More information is available from Linda I. Smith, UVI's director of Annual Giving and Alumni Affairs, at (340) 692-4023 (email@example.com) and from the "Giving" section of the UVI web site - www.uvi.edu.
The online giving link is also available from the University's UVI Today... photo blog at: http://uvitoday.blogspot.com.

Win the Mega Millions jackpot? Don't tell anyone!
TRENTON — What do you do if you beat the odds and win the Mega Millions or Powerball jackpots?
The life of whoever wins the Mega Millions jackpot, which has an annuity value of $1.6 billion, the largest jackpot every offered by in a lottery in the United States, will be forever changed, according to Lou Scatigna, a financial planner who heads up AFM Investments of Toms River.
The annuity value of the Powerball jackpot is $620 million.
"Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it. Many people's lives have been ruined by winning the jackpot," he said.
Scatigna advised winners to not tell anyone, change their cell phone number and hire a spokesperson.
"If you win that kind of money now's the time to really lay low until you get your head straight. Coming into that kind of money is an emotional thing. It affects you psychologically. There's so many people out there who want a piece of you once they know you won," Scatgna advised.
Before you go public, Scatigna advises assembling a team that includes an accountant, a certified financial planner and a spokesperson that knows how to handle the pressures from the media.
"You're a big target for people who want to separate you from your money," Scatigna said.
Scatigna also said that if you are playing an office pool to get a copy of the tickets. He also advised that if your pool has players who participate on a regular basis but are out sick make sure to cover them or face potential legal issues.
"If you have the same group that plays all the time and somebody's not there somebody's got to cover for them or you're going to have bad feelings at the least and taint a great win."
New Jersey Lottery Deputy Director John White said the first thing to do is sign the ticket and to seek financial advice.
"When they're comfortable they can contact us and come to us and validate the ticket. Of course they can validate a ticket at any retailer as well," White said.
The next Mega MIllions drawing is Tuesday night and Powerball on Wednesday.
Lou Scatigna hosts "The Financial Physician" financial program Sunday morning at 11 a.m. on Beach Radio.

On Dec. 3rd, Mercury went retrograde. AGAIN.
This thrice-yearly event is simultaneously maligned, poo-pooh'd and the butt of many jokes. I won't try to convince any scoffers of the effects of this eyeroll-inducing transit, but I gotta say. This one's a doozy.
When the planet of communication goes retro, things can break (one wine glass broken so far), transportation can be stymied (all four tires on my car, nearly flat, all at once?!), people or situations from your past can resurface (SO many of these) and simple statements can be hugely misunderstood (repeat when necessary!!). It's also a GREAT time to review what you've learned recently (think back from Jan. 2016 to now).
I'd planned to see THREE shows last week, and made it to ZERO! I'd forgotten what a full day of physical work did to my energy or what an hour commute across town could do to my car. These REtrogrades are great for slowing down, RE-organizing, RE-thinking and RE-working. This one, happening during the same time as Jupiter in Scorpio means much of the RE-organization of societal structures, RE-cognition of our patterns and digging deep to discover the answers.
Right now, I'm digging deep to figure out what the next step is in this project. What's missing? Am I clear on WHY I'm doing this? What do I really want to do here?
Saturn (the Taskmaster) is about to go into Capricorn. This is all about doing the WORK. Building the REality.
There are gonna be some changes around here, and they're gonna ROCK.
So, enjoy the ride, pay rapt attention and back up your computers! Mercury will station to go direct on the 22nd!
…it can't come soon enough!
