So, I still need to get the dust bunny pattern formatted and posted. I still need to fix a couple of buggy links over at Tilghman Street and I still need to do about a million other things.
This month seems to have been all about having fun, but at the expense of accomplishing anything. My sincere apologies for all of that and I'm gonna try to get back in to the swing of getting something done, now that I'm over my second sinus infection for October.
On the plus side, I have gotten some time to play with my Knifty KNitter, so from a pure yarn perspective, it hasn't been a total loss.
Also, I've been working on a couple of recipes for the Hippy's Recipe Box over at Live Like a Hippy.


Snowberry Clearwing Hawk Moth Caterpillar - Hemaris Diffinis is a photograph by Mother Nature which was uploaded on January 20th, 2013.
This is a dark phase of this caterpillar. It is more commonly a greenish yellow and some phases are a mix. I never saw this before. This caterpillar was munching happily on a bush honeysuckle, although they like Dogbane and Snowberry. Hawk moths are also called Sphinx moths or Hummingbird moths; this particular type flies during the day and drinks nectar, so you'll find them feeding at flowers. Their wingspan can be up to 2 inches. I think they look like flying crawfish.
There are generally two hatches a year - three in some areas.
This caterpillar was photographed at Green Lane Reservoir in Red Hill, Pennsylvania, USA, on September 26, 2012.
Thanks, Lady:>) I was delighted to find it.
Aren't the stubby, little feet charming - the polka dots, too:>). Thank you for liking this guy!

Is jemalloc configuring itself to support valgrind?  In order for valgrind configuration to succeed, it needs to be able to find the valgrind headers (valgrind/valgrind.h and valgrind/memcheck.h).  It's conceivable that jemalloc's valgrind support might have some holes (it's pretty tricky to get totally right), but the valgrind errors you pasted look like ones that would occur if jemalloc were completely missing valgrind support.


The newly appointed, five-member State Board of Elections will hold a public evidentiary hearing later this month on claims of irregularities related to absentee by-mail voting and other alleged activities in certain counties in the 9th Congressional District.
The hearing will begin at 10 a.m. Monday, February 18 at the North Carolina State Bar, 217 E. Edenton St., Raleigh. It is expected to conclude within two days, but the State Board has reserved the site from February 18-20.
A Notice of Hearing and Amended Order of Proceedings will be posted today on the State Board's documents portal for the 9th Congressional District.
Background: Because of an ongoing investigation, the State Board has not certified the results in the 9th Congressional District contest between Democrat Dan McCready and Republican Mark Harris, as well as three local contests in Bladen and Robeson counties.
The former nine-member State Board (four Democrats, four Republicans, one unaffiliated) voted 9-0 on November 27 and 7-2 on November 30 not to certify results as the investigation into absentee voting irregularities continued.


Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient that helps support energy and general wellbeing, so how can you ensure you're getting enough?
Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is an essential vitamin, and one of the eight water-soluble B vitamins.
Vitamin B12 plays a role in the blood where it's needed for the production of red blood cells.
It also plays a role in the nervous system where it's involved the formation of the myelin sheath around nerve cells. Myelin insulates nerve cells and increases the speed at which they communicate.
What are the benefits of vitamin B12?
Vitamin B12 is mostly found from animal sources in our diets and while we do make some B12 in our bodies through gut bacteria, it's not always well-absorbed.
Food sources include beef, pork, chicken, lamb, organ meats like liver and kidney, eggs, dairy products, and fish and shellfish.
Fortified grains and cereals are also available as a source of vitamin B12.
The amount of vitamin B12 recommended each day varies by age and gender.
What factors affect vitamin B12 levels?
Because animal sources of food are where we get vitamin B12 from in our diets, vegans and vegetarians are at higher risk of vitamin B12 deficiency .
Older adults also need to ensure an adequate intake of vitamin B12. As we age the production of stomach acid may decline, which reduces the amount of vitamin B12 that we absorb.
Although including animal foods in your diet should ensure that you maintain adequate levels of B12, some people have an issue absorbing B12 from food and may still be deficient. In this case, your health practitioner may recommend a supplement containing B12.
The difference between getting B12 from a supplement rather than from food is that in supplement form B12 is not bound to a protein so it doesn't need stomach acid to detach it before it can be absorbed.
If you think you might be suffering from low B12 levels, consult your healthcare professional.

If you are on a low budget and you are looking for a stylish Chromebook that has been praised for its simplicity and reliability, then the Acer Chromebook 3 XE500C13-K04US should not be overlooked.
The Acer Chromebook 3 XE500C13-K04US 11.6-inch is a bestselling Chromebook that has received positive reviews for its simplicity and compact size, and its decent performance and multitasking capabilities thanks to the 1.6GHz Intel Celeron N3060 processor paired with 4GB of RAM. Users also liked its all day battery life of around 11 hours, its reasonable price and its anti-glare display. However, some criticism was directed towards its tiny storage space and its disappointingly soft speakers. While it is great at getting basic tasks right, throwing anything more at it will force it to slow down. Furthermore, Chrome OS is rather limiting as it still does not have very many applications available in comparison to Windows. Lastly, some noted that the laptop was still locked to the previous owner's account, meaning it hadn't been factory reset.
The $179 Samsung Chromebook 3 is a great little laptop for both school and entertainment.


Truly unique and charming, Burhill Golf Club is renowned for its superb golf facilities. Home to two very different 18-hole courses, the beautiful Georgian Clubhouse is a gorgeous location to relax and meet other members. Burhill offers a 'home from home' with a thriving & welcoming membership.
Designed by Willie Park Junior and opened in 1907, this beautiful parkland course has a timeless charm and some enjoyable challenges. The smooth greens are quick and undulating, with some original features blending well with recent course changes, ensuring today's longer hitters are still well tested.
This remarkable championship course opened in 2001. Its large, fast greens are well protected by strategic bunkering, not to mention a number of water hazards including the River Mole which meanders through the course. It is also the proud host to The Open Qualifying Series. It is built in complete contrast to the Old Course.


We all want to ride outside. But as temps drop, weather worsens and the light dwindles early in the afternoon, hopping on the bike indoors begins to sound like a nice alternative to letting your legs wither like the fallen leaves.
A Stable Coaching Companion: The Wahoo Kickr Snap trainer's dynamism comes from connectivity and a training-app integration. The on-wheel trainer syncs with smartphones, tablets and laptops and allows riders to not only track speed, power and distance (along with cadence and heart rate with additional monitors), but to also adjust the resistance of the flywheel. Wahoo articulates this resistance in multiple ways, giving riders the option to simply increase percentage of resistance (0 to 100 percent), adjust "power curve" (effectively percentage grade, from 0 to 4.5 percent), attempt to maintain a set watt amount (ERG), or simulate both slope and wind speed (where you can also adjust for a tri bike, road bike both in drops and out, or mountain bike). Analytics are displayed and broken down in multiple variations, and there's plenty of data to go around. What it amounts to is a cycling coach in the palm of your hand, and when paired with Wahoo's partnership with Carmichael Training Systems (at an additional monthly cost), it is a coach in your palm and on the phone.
Ride Feel: For logging productive workouts, this was the best way to work the legs. The ERG mode — where the resistance automatically adjusts to force the rider to maintain cadence — is particularly helpful, and the wheel resistance feels natural and surprisingly effective (even at high resistances, I didn't get any wheel slip). The price is high, but this is not a simple on-wheel trainer. The experience is closer to what one would get from a programmable resistance direct-drive trainer, yet at a much more approachable price point. For the serious watt freak and for those most serious about getting the legs in shape in the off-season, this is your trainer.
Real Cycling, Spinning in Place: The Kurt Kinetic Rock and Roll goes beyond a standard on-wheel trainer by rocking and rolling, which gives a relatively accurate feel of riding a bike. The resistance is the standard progressive flywheel kind (the more you put in, the more resistance you get), but the setup allows for side-to-side motion common when spinning the pedals on the road. This allows riders to work on maintaining balance (you're not simply locked in place), and leverage rocking for extra effort. It also allows riders to rise out of the saddle, a luxury while riding on a trainer. The Rock and Roll Smart also comes with the inRide Smart Sensor, a necessary accessory that syncs to the Kinetic app, which tracks power, speed, cadence and heart rate. There are also 12 different pre-prepared workouts (you can also make your own), but they're more self-directed — not necessarily a drawback for the self-motivated cyclist, but something of a different mental experience from spinning along as the trainer adjusts automatically for you.
Ride Feel: There's lots to love about rocking and rolling, especially being able to spin with natural rhythm out of the saddle. The app is clean and offers the nuts and bolts of data tracking in free ride, but to maintain the workout, you need to remain intrinsically motivated. There, Kinetic has done a good job of offering plenty of variety and thoughtful workouts (like the Beast Builder: "This 90-minute workout features a long warm up and two 20-minute intervals at 100 percent of FTP (Functional Threshold Power) with 10 minutes' rest between intervals."). This adds to the experience, but your performance is still dictated by controlling the pedals and your own level of resistance, rather than trying to overcome the challenge set by the trainer.

'Panther' big cats in Cornwall claims return after dog attack, paw print and video evidence
The truth may never be known but the question has been debated for decades - are big cats roaming the Cornish countryside? After a dog was left with gashes and claw marks at one end of the county in the same week that a big black cat was caught on video at the other, we look at the history of the long-running controversy

Sign up for our Truro newsletter and you'll never miss a big story again
Two incidents in the past week - one much more worrying than the other - have re-ignited the age-old 'big cat' debate in Cornwall - also hitting the headlines around the country.
The truth may never be known but the question has been debated for decades - are big cats roaming the Cornish countryside? Every few years - or even few months - someone claims to have seen a 'big cat'. And, of course, the legend - or myth, depending on your viewpoint - of the Beast of Bodmin Moor dates back longer than anyone can remember.
Within the past week a small village has appeared to be stalked by a panther or puma-like beast which allegedly attacked a dog as several neighbourhood cats have gone missing. Within a few days of that news emerging, a woman shared a remarkable video she took of a black cat "at least the size of an Alsatian" in a field.
Big cats are real and they're in Plymouth, says local man
Here are some of the most recent and alarming incidents and sightings.
Attacked by a 'panther' through open window
Most recently - before the excitement of the past week - a man claimed a 'panther-like' animal attacked him - through an open window. In January Matthew Wild, 30, said he was visiting his girlfriend when he saw the 6ft feline banging against the frame.
He said he went to shut the window but claims the cat suddenly reappeared and swiped at him.
He said the animal looked like a domestic cat crossed with a panther - and feared the big cat may be breeding with local moggies in Porthleven.

Matt said: "It was very intent on getting in. It was trying to get through the window. I thought it had gone and went to shut the window and it went to get me.
Mystery big cat sighting in Cornwall graveyard
"It grabbed my hand through the window. I used to work with animals and this thing was like nothing I'd ever seen. It was worse than anything on telly."
Matt, a martial arts fan from Helston, said he was lucky to have "very tough skin", else the cat would have drawn blood.
He added: "If it was standing on the floor it would be reaching about six feet. I would say it's a domestic cat crossed with a panther because of its tone, strength and might.
"It growled deeper and louder than anything on Tarzan except the lion. It's definitely a wild cat."
The bizarre big cat sightings in Devon and Cornwall since 2016
'Lynx' in a graveyard
And in October a big cat 'with pointy ears' have been spotted in a graveyard in Cornwall. The creature was spotted by Shaun Snell, who believed he saw something similar to a lynx.
A lynx was cited as the type of cat seen in a graveyard in St Columb Major
The 41-year-old from Saltash was with his dad and auntie at St Columb Major Churchyard visiting the graves of his grandparents when they all saw the big cat at lunchtime.
He said: "We were all left shocked, we couldn't believe it. It was bigger than a fox and much bigger than a regular cat.
"It paused for about three seconds and then seemed to disappear down a burrow at the edge of the cemetery.
"It had pointy ears and the pattern on it was amazing. It was a beauty. It was black and white.
"I have seen big cats three times before and they were black. It was like this one.

"I am not being funny or anything but it really was big and we could see it clear as anything. It was a clear day and was foggy or anything. It was too quick to get a picture though.
"I called up Newquay Zoo afterwards and they said they had heard of another sighting at Davidstow."
Big cat 'leapt over six foot wall'
In June of last year, Jane Walshaw, 51, who lives in Par, said she was driving on a country lane between St Erme and Probus when she came round a bend to see a big cat plodding along the road.
The feline, which she describes as "not as big as a tiger but much bigger than a domestic cat", turned to look at her, she said, then leapt over a six foot wall in one bound.

Jane, who claimed she got within six feet of the cat, said: "I went around a sharp bend and there in front of me was this cat-like animal. It was plodding along in front of me. It was far too big to be a cat.
"It had the longest tail but a blunt ended tail. Its coat wasn't black but it wasn't brown. It was a short haired coat, but quite thick and scruffy. Huge paws. Not as big as a tiger but much bigger than a domestic cat. Its head was quite large.
"It was sauntering. It just turned, saw me and within seconds it had scaled up this wall with one pound and gone.
"The lane is so tight I couldn't get out of the car. I was sat in the car for a few minutes trying to reason with what I'd seen."
'Panther' the size of a deer
In January of last year a big cat said to be similar to a panther was reportedly spotted in a field just 300 yards from the A390 near Probus.
The animal was seen by Simon Vage, a sailing instructor at Porthpean Outdoor Education Centre, as he drove to work from his home in Truro one morning in late January of last year.
Simon Vage, who spotted a panther-like big cat
Mr Vage, who previously managed the former family jewellery business Vage's in New Bridge Street, Truro, said: "It looked like how I would imagine a panther to look, as it had a long tail. It was black and walking across the middle of the field and about the size of a small fallow deer.
"What I am convinced I saw was heading diagonally across the field, heading away from the bypass in the direction of Probus, but the Ladock end, into the valley.
It wasn't his first - he 'thinks'...
Simon added: "I am pretty sure I have seen one before, but that one was an 'I think' rather than this one being 'I'm pretty sure'. I have also heard rumours of them being seen around the St Clement area, and they are said to be abundant in the clay area and Goss Moor."
The list goes on and we could recount story after story of alleged sightings, encounters, paw prints - such as those found at St Austell and pictured below - or legendary tales down the years. They have been largely disbelieved or debunked... and very rarely come with convincing images or video.

The day a real big cat actually was on the loose
But for a dose of certified big cat reality, we only need to go back to February of last year, when Cornwall Live reported of how a leopard genuinely was on the loose in the middle of the county.
Villagers were left frightened and furious after the clouded leopard escaped from a private zoo, owned by Todd Dalton, on Boxing Day, although they were not told at the time and were only notified about the evasion when a farmer trapped the wild cat one mile further. It was on the loose for six days and attacked sheep, one of which was killed and others had to be put down because of their injuries.

Devon and Cornwall Police admitted that they had deliberately kept quiet "because it could have hindered the recovery of the animal", although immediate neighbours of Mr Dalton's property at Great Treverran, near Lostwithiel.
Mr Dalton, who still manages a conservation charity, moved down to Cornwall from London two and a half years ago and applied for a Dangerous Wild Animal licence to bring his leopards and other wild animals to his property. Cornwall Council granted him a one-year licence, as usual, but the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) amended it to two years.
The enclosure at Great Treverran from where the clouded leopard escaped
Mr Dalton told a public meeting in Bodmin in February 2018 that the clouded leopard only escaped because of unforeseen flooding that liquified and washed out mud on the perimeter of the enclosure.
Two sightings in one week
Fast forward to last week and one of the more convincing stories of a big cat encounter to emerge in recent years shocks the county - and even the country, as the story was picked up and reported across the UK. Despite - again - a lack of photographic or video evidence, it was confirmed by officials and many in the village.
The Beast of Bodmin and other myths and legends that make Bodmin Moor so magical
Fears were raised for the safety of children and pets after a dog was said to have been attacked by a panther or puma which later ran at its owner. The big black cat is said to be stalking the village of Harrowbarrow, where several pet cats have disappeared and one dog has been left bleeding from its injuries and with claw marks on its shoulder.

Police and the RSPCA confirmed that they attended the scene. Specialist forensics officers took casts of paw prints measuring almost five inches and said these have been confirmed by the animal charity to have been from a large cat. A local farmer has also apparently discovered its 'den' on his land.
James Stephenson, whose dog was attacked, said people needed to be aware because it could take a child next and has recounted his own harrowing experience with the animal.
James, 23, said there had been talk of the beast in his village for a few weeks. he then spotted it and it attacked his Labrador, Marley, two days before the terrifying moment he came face to face with it himself.

James, who lives with his parents in the village near Callington, said he had seen the animal carrying a lamb in the distance and was in his garden with Marley and his collie puppy Maisy when it struck on Thursday, March 28.
Marley disappeared from the other end of the garden and returned terrified with gashes and a claw mark. Two days later James said he found himself staring into "two large green eyes" in his torchlight before the animal ran towards him and he ducked back indoors.

And then on Sunday, yet more convincing evidence appeared to emerge - in the form of a video. Becky Abrey got an unusual birthday surprise when she was out with her mum and fiance for a celebratory meal and spotted a big black cat in a field.
The trio had enjoyed Sunday lunch on her 28th birthday and been for a walk on the beach at Praa Sands when she saw the animal she said was "at least the size of an Alsatian" from the car park and started filming it.
Becky, who admitted to having been sceptical of such reports in the past, said: ""I've seen so many articles about them and there are never any pictures of them and I wanted to get pictures an video.
"I saw the one this week and was thinking, 'does it really exist?'
The black cat which Becky Abrey said was 'at least the size of an Alsatian' in a field at Praa Sands (Image: Becky Abrey)
"Now I've seen it and know that it does.
"I didn't want to get too close and zoomed in and out so you can get some perspective. It was at least Alsatian sized or bigger.
"When I read about them I always think, 'it's just a decent-sized farm cat' but this certainly wasn't."
Becky Abrey and her mum Kim Cutter and fiance Jon Jones spotted the big cat at Praa Sands together (Image: Becky Abrey)
Becky has even been doubting herself ever since, so it's just as well she has the video and photographic evidence.
She added: "It's crazy. I still can't quite believe it. Honestly, it was huge, far bigger than any domestic cat.
"I feel like I imagined everyone saw it. It's like seeing the Loch Ness Monster."
It's fair to say that both recent events met with a fair share of cynicism on social media. Some refuted Becky's description of the size of the animal in her video, although she adamantly stands by her appraisal.
Many people commented with disbelief about the Harrowbarrow goings on - you could almost see them rolling their eyes as they tapped furiously into their phones. However many tagged friends and family members and even recounted their own experiences with such beasts.
Do you believe there are or ever have been big cats - that are not simply overgrown pets - on the loose in Cornwall?
Yes, I'm sure of it
No, never been proven for me
I'm not sure and keeping an open mind
But for a final word - not that we suspect there ever necessarily will be a final word on the subject, whether because the creatures really are out there or the Cornish public is too fascinated with the possibility to let it be cast aside for good - we turn to an expert.
Danny Bamping, from the British Big Cats Society, based in Plymouth, was asked about the Harrowbarrow animal. He said: "It has been referred to as a black cat, if it's black then we can disregard it being a puma or a lynx.
"There's never been a sighting of a black puma in the UK unless it was made by Ford.
"It's hard to say what it is, but there have been a lot of sightings in that area.
"It could be a black panther or a leopard. They come in about 28 inches at the shoulder so they're not massive but they are classed as big cats because they can roar.
"It could be a hybrid, we know there are big cats in the wild in the UK and when they breed to gene that makes them black is more prominent."
Why there probably isn't a massive black puma roaming the streets of Cornwall
These are the bizarre wild animal sightings reported in Cornwall, from the 'Beast of Bodmin' to the 'Penguin of Penzance'

Auto groups move to ensure cars don't fuel privacy violations
U.S. Department of Transportation proposes mandate for black boxes in all vehicles by Sept. 1, 2014.
By John Fontana for Identity Matters | December 13, 2012 -- 20:38 GMT (12:38 PST) | Topic: Security
If automobile manufacturers and the AAA have their way, the next leakage of personal data won't be from the computers in cars and trucks.
Last week, the Department of Transportation (DOT) proposed a requirement that all vehicles built after September 1, 2014 include event data recorders (EDR) known more commonly as black boxes.
The AAA, formerly known as the American Automobile Association, isn't against EDRs, but it is insisting Congress act to protect the privacy of motorists.
"Data recording devices play a critical role in advancing vehicle safety, but motorists should own the data their vehicle generates," Robert Darbelnet, the president and CEO of AAA, said in a statement. "Congress needs to ensure motorist rights are protected by passing legislation that prohibits access to data without permission from the owner or from a court order, unless the data is used for research purposes and cannot be tracked to a single vehicle," he said.
The AAA was joined by the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, which also voiced privacy concerns surrounding the DOT proposal.
"Event data recorders help our engineers understand how cars perform in the real world, but ... automakers do not access EDR data without consumer permission, and any government requirements to install EDRs on all vehicles must include steps to protect consumer privacy," the organization said.
The boxes record information before and after a crash, but do not run continuously while the car is in operation. And unlike black boxes on airplanes, the devices do not record audio. EDRs record information such as speed, seat belt use, air bag deployment, and brake and gas pedal positions. The data is typically used in safety studies and not in accident re-creations.
But much like the tracking of Web surfing and buying habits of Internet users has spawned a feeding frenzy of data collection by marketing and retail firms; crash data is of interest to investigators and insurance companies.
But unlike the surveillance economy that thrives today on the Internet, where third-party data collectors harevest users' personal information from their digital tracks, the data in the car is locked within the owner's private property.
There is already sensitivity to the Internet issues with Congress, the Federal Trade Commission and the Government Accountability Office researching the issues. An FTC report from this year, recommends Congress pass a law giving consumers some level of access to information data collectors compile.
If the DOT proposal passes, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) will enforce the rules. The automotive industry however, is already nearing the end of that road. For 2013 vehicle models, 91% have the EDRs, according to NHTSA, including all makes from General Motors Co. and Toyota Motor Corp.

Home Unlabelled Freya Roy: "Fantasy to Reality" [Interview]
2019 proved to be an exceptional breakout year for the multi-talented Freya Roy. The release of her debut, self-produced album, 'AHLKE', saw Roy credited throughout as the writer, composer and producer of a project released through her own FCR label.
Spearheaded by the infectious groove of the utterly brilliant single 'Midnight Train', and the strong follow-up '22 Movements', the album took pride of place amongst many highlights of 2019 lists - including our own - and its success was further capped off with a sold out, headline performance at London's Servant Jazz Quarters.
As a graduate of Leeds College of Music (under the of saxophonist Rob Mitchell from the Abstract Orchestra and ATA Records), Roy also studied jazz & production and jazz guitar at the Birmingham Conservatoire - all invaluable skills that have equipped her to have her musical vision realised.
While the compositions on 'AHLKE' were inspired by a more organic approach - something of an homage to the neo-soul and contemporary jazz artists that came before her like Jill Scott, Esperanza Spalding and Robert Glasper, 'Fantasies' looks to explore sonic soundscapes beyond 'AHLKE's comfort zone - perhaps in some way seeking inspiration from past collaborators Simon Beddoe, Taz Modi and Dom Howard of the Submotion Orchestra.
Partnering with vocalist Maya Law (herself riding high with her own excellent single, 'Tired'), the duo seek to carve a new path into the realms of future soul while still clinging to their own musical sensibilities. With 'Fantasies' serving as the initial teaser for a planned EP due later in the year, the new musical terrain that Roy looks set to explore seems destined to deliver thrilling results.
Blue-in-Green:RADIO couldn't be prouder to have secured time with Freya Roy to discuss her musical journey thus far, 'AHLKE' and how the new single 'Fantasies' fits in to the wider vision of the upcoming EP.
Fantasies feat. Maya Law by Freya Roy
Congratulations on the release of last year's debut album 'AHLKE': were you happy with how the project was received?
Thanks a lot! I was very happy, yes! I received funding from the MOBO Help Musicians Fund in 2018 which enabled me to push some boundaries and do the project in the way I wanted which I am very grateful for, for example, involving the likes of Submotion Orchestra members Taz Modi, Dom Howard and Simon Beddoe, who really helped bringing the tunes to life. It's still an album that I think people go back to which is a great feeling. It's also on the official Record Store Day 2020 list! The vinyl LP is being re-released for this with Vinyl Hunter Recordings, based in Suffolk, so it's another lovely way for new people to hear it.
'AHLKE' saw you credited as the album's writer, composer and producer: was that album the result of a vision that was a long time coming?
'AHLKE' was my first release in almost 6 years! It was the result of a long development of creative work, I wanted to release something that felt completely right. I had been reluctant to release anything before this and was spending the time trying to find the sounds I was hearing in my head, develop my writing and production approach, and that could only take time. I feel that this album was just the beginning of a new creative start for me, it was a very organic production with the live and jazz element at the forefront, just the tip of the iceberg in the sounds I was wanting to create. Even since the release in 2019, I have discovered new elements and subjects in my writing and producing and I am still going through a development process in many ways. I am trying to write as much as I can, and the more I do it, the easier and smoother it feels to create what I have in mind.
Which artists have had the biggest impact on shaping your music?
There are definitely a bunch of artists that have shaped and continue to shape the direction of my music, such as Angie Stone, Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, D'Angelo, Roy Hargrove, Bill Frisell, Rosie Lowe, Bonobo and many, many more..
How does the process of writing and creating new music usually work for you?
It still seems to be a discovery process for me, and I'm regularly finding new and different techniques. Recently, my lyrical writing has taken more of a centre-stage in creating in new music, and I have found journalling a really interesting way in helping to develop songs later down the line. I like to go back to things I have written a few months before to find words and phrases that I can turn into a tune. In terms of my production, I have more of a focus on the electronic-side these days, so another approach is sitting down and putting a beat together and building with a synth bass line, before adding a chordal progression which usually comes on guitar. From here, the lyrics sometimes flow, very often I find it hard to push it and I might have to wait for them to come in time. Other times, when sitting down with a guitar, a tune can pretty much fall out of my mouth and on to the paper which feels great but it rarely happens! Somehow all the different approaches seem to piece themselves together and I suddenly find myself with a few different things on the go.
And another congratulations is due for the excellent new single 'Fantasies': can you talk a little about how that track came about and the collaboration with Maya Law?
Thanks so much! 'Fantasies' is a tune I started putting together towards the end of 2019. I had taken a little time out after the album release and string of tour dates and was using the time to explore various production techniques and new synth instruments. As I mentioned above, 'AHLKE' just felt like the tip of the iceberg with getting comfortable with my developing sound, so the time I took to create 'Fantasies' gave me that opportunity to find everything I wanted in the tune. The song seemed to write itself on paper in a writing session one evening, and throughout the following few months I went deep into the beat-making, sound-scaping and synthesis, building layers and textures. After a little while I started to lose my ear and love for it so left it aside until I was ready to go back. Maya came over to mine to record one of her tunes, which is on her forthcoming EP 'Hitchhiking', and at the same time I played her the demo of 'Fantasies'. She gave me back all my enthusiasm upon listening and after making a few tweaks here and there, Maya took a feature. I had started playing in Maya's band around the same time, and working together in this way had felt really easy and fun, so this feature only seemed like the right thing. It was really exciting once I heard it for the first time, it had been what I was imagining in my head and now I was hearing it out loud! Now it feels great for everyone to be able to hear the single, particularly as the sound is where I am wanting to be right now.
I understand this single is envisioned as part of an upcoming EP: what can people expect from that project when it's released?
The EP is going to be more in the direction of the sound of 'Fantasies'. I have been exploring more electronics and this has slowly been trickling down into my tracks. I'm spending a lot more time making beats and working on rhythm, and my lyrics have also started to take more of a centre-stage in the process. Although it's a lot more electronic, there is still an eclectic mix of styles in there, some stripped-back soul tracks, some more dub-orientated bits as well as tunes with an R&B and hip-hop direction. All tracks are different and, although it's not finished, they seem to be fitting together already. There is a lot more honesty in the whole of this project, probably fuelled by the break-up of a long-term relationship – in a way, the EP sort of feels like I'm putting my flesh out for everyone to eat, but I'm really excited nonetheless!
You had a successful series of live dates last year: how does your music translate from the studio to the stage?
Thanks! I like to create a bit of a different atmosphere when playing live. When playing solo, I strip things back with more of a jazz feel and I will also [add] loops and some drum samples here and there to build textures and energy, allowing space to incorporate some improvisation. I played 3 dates with a 4-piece band during my UK tour, all of whom I met during my Jazz studies in Birmingham and Leeds, and this was also a different experience, combining a range of samples, triggered by drummer Greg Burns, along with jazz improvisation. It brought a new energy to my tunes and to the performance as a whole. I think it's important to treat the recorded music and the live performance differently, they are completely contrasting things in themselves so I think it's great to take advantage of that and create something interesting and engaging on stage, something you wouldn't experience otherwise. I like people to hear my songs in as many ways possible!
Who would be a dream artist for you to either record or perform with?
It has to be Angie Stone, Jill Scott or Erykah Badu... I saw Erykah perform at Field Day 2018 in London and it was such an incredible performance!
Is there a song (by another artist) you wish you'd written?
Angie Stone, 'Wish I Didn't Miss You'.


One of the secrets to creating rhythmically complex music with a modular is to add a level of indeterminacy to the triggers and gates, typically by introducing logic or probability circuits. With the Skipmin ($150), West Oakland Music Systems (westoaklandmusicsystems.info) has created an elegant and relatively low-cost way to inject musically useful chance elements into your patches.
One of the most compelling things about the Skipmin, which the developer refers to as a "quad probabilistic gate skipper," is how easy it is to use. The module has four inputs that accept triggers and gates up to 10V, and four outputs, each with a dedicated mute button.
In addition, each output has a Skip control, which determines how likely the input will go through. Once an input voltage reaches its max level, it is subjected to a probability test (based on the setting of the Skip knob), and if it passes the test, the corresponding output delivers a +5V signal that lasts as long as the input signal stays high. An LED at each output lights when a signal makes it through.
When the knob is set fully counter-clockwise, there is a 0% chance the signal will pass; turning it fully clockwise sets the probability to 100%, so that the signal is always present at the output. The simplicity of the Skipmin is also a result of the fact that you can't visually set the probability amount (except at the extremes), so you have to play it by ear, so to speak.
Although the outputs can be used discretely to process four individual signals (input 1 to output 1, input 2 to output 2, etc.), the inputs are normalized to the outputs in numerical order. For example, patch a trigger to input 1 and it is available at all four outputs. Then if you add a trigger to input 2, that trigger now goes to outs 2, 3, and 4 while input 1 goes only to output 1. Consequently, the normalization scheme lets you send one clock to several outputs, each of which can have its own probability setting— sweet! Moreover, if you mute the primary channel of the incoming signal, the normaled channels that follow remain active. Each Skip knob glows blue until you press its corresponding Mute button; then it goes dark.
In addition to rhythmic chores, the Skipmin can also be used as an ersatz waveshaper. Patch an audio-rate (20 Hz or greater) signal to an input and you are treated to glitchy results that begin to resemble bit reduction as you turn the Skip control counterclockwise. Using a sequenced melody patched to input 1, I set the Skip knob to 12 o'clock for outputs 1 and 2, then panned each output to different speakers. The timbre coming from the two outputs differed because of the probabilistic routines, even when the Skip knob was at a similar setting. As the sequence progressed, crunchy dropouts would occur at different times from either channel, creating a nice stereo effect.
Although there were times when I wished the module offered CV control over the Skip amount, one of the charming things about the Skipmin is that the interface is so straightforward. And, it requires much less rack space than bigger, more complex modules offering probability features.
The Skipmin is definitely worth checking out if you enjoy making beat-based and West Coast-style patches that have a variable level of unpredictability.

Tell us about your process. What reference or influence do you take from other mediums? What are the important elements of what you do? My primary source of inspiration is from video games and interactive digital spaces. I often photograph objects and textures like they exist within virtual space: not as three-dimensional solid objects, but two-dimensional surfaces warped in three- dimensional space. Video games also led to my interest in landscape, which I tend to photograph as if they are backdrops in a game rather than physical spaces.
Are these pictures concerned with exploring formal and aesthetic interests, or are they representational, metaphorical? What is the weight that holds these pictures together? Form is often my foremost concern when taking photographs. It's how I see the world: as lines and shapes. This goes back to my interest in video games. Those virtual worlds are made up of simple geometry that's pieced together, and that's how I interpret what I see.
Are you a photographer or an artist using photography? I'm a photographer, but I define photography very differently than most other individuals. To me, the photograph starts as a recording of light. It doesn't matter if the final outcome is made of pixels or grains or pure data. For example, I utilized a Microsoft Kinect to create an infrared photograph of a cave wall, from which I generated a three-dimensional model and then printed using a 3D printer. Though the end result is a sculpture, I consider it to also be a photograph.
Does your work reflect on the medium of photography or the photographic image? If so, is that intentional? The general public believes that photographs signify proof of existence and my work is in opposition of this. I constantly get asked the same things: "What is it?" "Where did you take this?" These questions don't further the conversation about the work yet they are inevitable realities of the culture of photography. My work is an attempt to sidestep these obstacles, but I am unsure if I am truly successful. I want the audience of my work to question every photograph they look at, but it is difficult to unlearn instant belief.
Typically, are your works more about construction or deconstruction? I use every tool at my disposal to deconstruct and destroy. Glitches are one of my favorite methods of destruction. I always try to manipulate video games in odd ways, and that ends up seeping into my photography practice. Even in college, I was taught "the rules of photography" and I created my best work when I purposefully ignored them.
Are you interested in the notion of your pictures as objects? Do you think about how their physicality may endure as you are photographing them or is that an afterthought? One of my earliest inspirations was album artwork, and I have always been fascinated with being able to hold the artwork in my hand as I was listening to the music. Something about the interaction with it makes it so much more personal and impactful. I want to give others that same feeling with my work, and that's impossible with a framed print on a wall. That's why I created a book alongside my most recent project: to enhance the physicality of the photographs.
Often sculptural photographic works are concerned with elevating banal objects, situations or events to a status of 'art' – when does something become art for you? Everything has the potential to be art, but the catalyst is when an individual presents it as art to their peers. Allowing a discussion to form around an object is crucial to its existence as a piece of art. An artist displays work with certain context, but without an audience to alter and add to the context, it can never truly be art.

Let's Encrypt — how did we survive without it?
Let's Encrypt is awesome! Not only is it more secure than your existing certificate authority. It's also reliable, scalable, fully automated — and free!
Have you ever had a certificate renewal go wrong?
It can be pretty painful.
One of the benefits of a load balancer is that you can renew the certificates in the cluster one node at a time — with no downtime. And if you terminate on the load balancer you can use a test cluster for the new certificate, before using it in production.
But if you've ever had to renew a large number of certificates, then you'll understand just how awesome automating the process with Let's Encrypt can be.
Aaron previously described our quick and dirty version of Let's Encrypt automation. With a few tweaks it's been working surprisingly well for customers with thousands of certificates.
So we decided to go ahead with full support in our product, along with a more resilient script to manage your certificates on the load balancer.
Why are SSL certificates becoming more important?
A couple of years ago it was acceptable to have a website running in plain HTTP mode, i.e. un-encrypted. If you were handling credit cards or needed a secure login area you could just encrypt that section of the website with an HTTPS/SSL certificate.
However, things have changed. With the increased focus on privacy, everyone agrees that communications should really be encrypted. It's better to be safe than sorry.
Google warned us this was coming. Chrome now flags up every website that uses un-secured HTTP as 'not secure'.
Sites that encrypt traffic with HTTPS will have their URL displayed normally in the address bar.
There has been a significant push by Google and Mozilla to always HTTPS, secure or bust (or a big red flag from Google, if rumours are to be believed), with the aim of achieving privacy and data integrity.
Simple SSL certification deployment and renewal is more important than ever, and Let's Encrypt makes it possible through freely available open certificate management.
Let's Encrypt is a zero-cost certificate authority for HTTPS encryption, now trusted by all major root programs including Google, Microsoft, Apple, Mozilla and Oracle. Used in conjunction with freely available tools it provides automatic enrolment and renewal, and simple certificate creation, negating validation emails and manual configuration.
One drawback is that they only offer Domain Validation (DV), not Organisation Validation (OV) or Extended Validation (EV), because that high level of certificate assurance cannot be automated. Let's Encrypt will validate that you are connecting to a certain domain securely, but it won't guarantee the ownership.
If your website is processing credit cards, transmitting sensitive data or email encryption, you may want a traditional EV/OV certificate provider.
Why is automation of certificate renewal important?
For enhanced security the Let's Encrypt certificate is only valid for 90 days, so an automated process for renewal is essential. We have you covered with an automatic renewal - read on to find out more.
So how do you configure Let's Encrypt on the Loadbalancer.org appliance?
Automates the process of validating the Domain and IP.
Downloads and moves the new certificates to correct location.
Automatically checks and renews the certificates.
Offers optional e-mail alerts, because we don't like surprises.
Offers Batch Mode, because one is never enough.
The initial setup is somewhat involved — but it's worth it!
We need a special backend configured just to talk to the Let's Encrypt servers. So you'll need to configure Layer 7 VIP with manual backend in the WebUI, then run the script to get the certificate. Finally, apply the new cert to the VIP via the WebUI (this can be also done via the API of course).
Then click the "Update" button.
Then click "Add" and "Save" on the ACL pop-up, then the "Update" button at the bottom of the Layer 7 Modify Virtual Service page. Reload HAProxy when prompted.
4. Let's get a certificate!
So you have domain name, and a working dns record forwarded to the VIP of the load balancer. Now let's connect the dots.
Before fetching the new certificate, you will have to allow port 80 open to access the internet. Let's Encrypt do not publish a list of their issuing servers so you'll have to allow some time to perform this.
Also, there is a fair amount of rate limiting if there are many failed validations - somewhere in the range of 5 failures per account, per hostname, per hour.
The basic command structure is: Issue Cert (-i) on VIP port (-p) to the ACME.sh port (-h) for the domain (-d).
Process Stunnel is running, continuing.
You are asked for the WebUI user and password here: if you're AWS then remember that the password is the instance-id.
Succesfully issued and uploaded new cert foo.moo.com, finished.
5. Apply the new cert via the WebUI.
Click the "Update" button, reload Stunnel when prompted, and, you're done.
-b = Batch Mode Issue Cert "-b "
-D = Remove certificate config and cron entry.
With batch mode you can run in a .CSV file with multiple lines of single domains, very useful for SNI configs using a cert for each domain or subdomain.
At the heart is the acme.sh shell script, probably one of the easiest and smartest client scripts around, which automatically issues and renews free certificates from Let's Encrypt using the Automatic Certificate Management Environment (ACME) protocol.
With lb-letsencrypt.sh, we provide a wrapper for acme.sh that gives the essential error-checking of the Loadbalancer.org config, the VIP and Stunnel information and specifies other utilities (email, batch, cron update).
Aug 28 13:54:38 lbmaster lb-letsencrypt: Failed to issue certificate for foo.moo.com, check external access on port 80 and that DNS has been configured.
What's next with Let's Encrypt?
We plan to make this a lot easier with a web interface-based wizard. But the current system works well and we highly recommend that you try it.
Please leave a comment below to suggest what else we could do with the awesome Let's Encrypt — thank you.
Rob currently works for the support team at Loadbalancer.org - answering customer queries. He previously worked for the US Air Force in Germany as well as doing data networking and telecoms for various small clients. In his spare time, Rob enjoys some downtime with his family.


Well, after many long months of feeding Evelyn via NG-tube ("nasogastric feeding tube"; a tube in her nose), in consult with her doctors & therapists, we have decided to have a G-tube ("gastric feeding tube"; a tummy-tube) placed for Evelyn. Evelyn is still continuing to make very good progress with eating by mouth - she is spoon-fed a reasonable amount of oiled-up baby food with most meals (the oil for compliance with the keto diet), and has done very well with swallowing. Sucking still seems to be an issue, but we're working on it. So, Evelyn still depends on a tube for her primary nutrition.
While neither Kim nor I really relishes the thought of another surgery - or a (semi-)permanent hole in our baby(!) - all the -ologists and therapists are in agreement with their independent recommendation & counsel. Other than an NG-tube typically being a short-term measure - it's been 6 months now - it can actually be something an inhibitor to re-learning to eat, as your throat is always a little bit open with the tube hanging down it. It also is a general irritant, if you can imagine something always being in your nose & down your throat. So, all opinions & advice are that having the G-tube will actually help Evelyn in the re-learning-to-eat department. In the Aicardi world, about 40% end up with a G-tube, so it's not a majority, but not exactly a trivial minority (see the Aicardi Syndrome 2003 Medical & Developmental Survey for more; Growth & Nutrition; Gastrointestinal).
We opted for a Mic-Key ("mickey") tube, primarily as it's the one most of the other Aicardi families seem to prefer. It is essentially held in by a little water-filled balloon on the inside, with a flat input on the outer tummy surface (see picture at the top). The other type has a more rigid internal mechanism to hold it in place. Though the other type is harder to pull out, we figured if Evelyn got hold of it and was really tugging (from intent, a seizure, or otherwise), we'd rather it "break away" more easily. Also, the Mic-Key is easier to change than the other type, which could require annual trips to the hospital - potentially under anesthesia - to change it.
I am absolutely confident that you guys made the right decision by putting Evelyn on the NG-tube and I'm sure you are making the right decision now! Good luck on Monday; we will be thinking of you.
I am in the UK and feed via a PEG all the time! I was searching for something else and found your blog! thought I would say hello! Happy to chat anytime! How are things going with the feeding now?

Most viewers assume that The Voyage of the "Dawn Treader", premiering this Friday, December 10, is the third adaptation of a Narnia book for the screen, after The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (2005) and Prince Caspian (2008). But actually this film is the eighth attempt to present Narnia on screen, if you count earlier film forays (or rather video voyages) into Narnia.
When Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind was first published in 1936, it took only three years for the novel to be turned into a major motion picture—the classic 1939 movie starring Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh. By contrast, the first of C. S. Lewis's children's classics, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, appeared in 1950, and it took 55 years for that story to reach the big screen in 2005. It might have taken even longer than that if not for the tireless, nearly lifelong efforts of Lewis's stepson, Douglas Gresham.
There are several reasons it took so long for the books to be adapted into films. Lewis himself considered the cinema an ugly art form, "disagreeable to the eye—crowded, unrestful, inharmonious." He wondered if the main reason people went to movie theaters was to keep warm on a cold, damp night. (Collected Letters 3, 105). Lewis was also strongly opposed to the idea of live-action film versions of the Narnia stories. He thought that stories about talking animals could be charming in imagination, but that they turned into "buffoonery or nightmare" when enacted by people in costumes. He felt that a human actor in a lion suit trying to portray Aslan would amount to nothing less than "blasphemy." (Shades of the Cowardly Lion in The Wizard of Oz!) Lewis was open to the possibility of animated adaptations of his Narnia books, but he regretted that Walt Disney's films so often mixed "genius" with "vulgarity" (CL 3, 1111).
Given Lewis's serious reservations about trying to adapt his stories for movies or television, it is not surprising that no one attempted to do so during his lifetime. Only four years after his death in 1963, however, there was a 10-part serialization of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe aired on British commercial television (ITV). This series has not survived, but its use of live actors on a stage set would probably not have pleased the creator of Narnia. In 1978, an animated version of the first Narnia story was aired on British television. This adaptation has a certain charm, particularly in its voices and sound effects, but its crude animation technique and simple dialog suggest that it was aimed mainly at small children. For contemporary viewers, this version may make it seem as if Charlie Brown and his friends from "Peanuts" have somehow gotten into Narnia instead of the Pevensies. (Come to think of it, one of the main "Peanuts" characters is named Lucy!)
The BBC launched a more ambitious three-part series from 1988-90, offering adaptations of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Prince Caspian/Voyage of the "Dawn Treader" (two books combined into one story), and The Silver Chair. These episodes are worth watching, as they stick closely to the storyline of the books, and they showcase surprisingly talented children as Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy. Just as Lewis had feared, however, the fantasy characters in the story seriously undermine the verisimilitude of the story. Aslan appears as a giant stuffed animal, somewhat out of focus. And when the Green Lady in The Silver Chair turns into a writhing serpent, she looks less like a terrifying monster than like a garden hose on steroids. Just as Lewis had predicted, the talking animals and other fantasy characters in the BBC series may not elicit awe or terror as intended, but may elicit instead giggles and guffaws.
Lewis's stepson, Douglas Gresham, now 65, spent most of his adult life trying to find a suitable script and production company to adapt the Narnia stories for the big screen. This has been no easy task, as the prevailing wisdom in Hollywood for many years was that 1) American audiences didn't want to watch the adventures of British children; 2) Fantasy stories should be animated, not shot with live actors; and 3) Stories with explicit Christian overtones could not reach a mass audience. In the short space of three years, all of these Hollywood truisms were refuted—shattered actually--by the enormous worldwide successes of the Harry Potter films, beginning in 2001, then Peter Jackson's "Lord of the Rings" film trilogy (2001-2003), and finally by Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ (2004).
During those years, Mr. Gresham began to see doors opening for his dream of making the Narnia Chronicles into films that would do his stepfather proud. In a radio interview with me, Gresham confided that he had to wade through mountains of scripts and talk to just about every studio in Hollywood before the present Narnia series began to take shape. He was actually sent a film treatment in which the Pevensie children were portrayed as American siblings who had to leave Los Angeles because of an earthquake. In this proposed adaptation, the White Witch was to be played by none other than Janet Jackson! (If that version had ever been made, it might have been dubbed "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe Malfunction.")
The current series of Narnia films was finally inaugurated in 2005, when The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe was released by Walden Media and Walt Disney Pictures. Directed by Andrew Adamson (of Shrek fame), the film opened to generally positive reviews, and, including DVD sales, it has grossed nearly a billion dollars worldwide. The sequel, Prince Caspian (2008), also directed by Adamson, was a darker, more action-oriented film. Though it also received generally positive reviews, the film grossed less than a third of its predecessor and was not deemed a commercial success in U.S. markets. This may not be entirely surprising, as C. S. Lewis's book, Prince Caspian, is the least popular of the seven tales in terms of individual sales. It has an unusual plot structure, with the whole middle of the book being told as a flashback, and its ending, the long celebration after the victory of Aslan and his followers, is considered by many readers to be anticlimactic.
By contrast, many Narnia fans rate The Voyage of the "Dawn Treader" as one of their favorites of the seven tales, if not the favorite. The advance reviews of the film version have generally been enthusiastic, so Mr. Gresham and his associates have reason to be optimistic. Of course, only after the reviews and the audiences come out this weekend (and keep coming out) will the film's producers know whether the Narnia stories will continue to find the big screen embodiments that Mr. Gresham has been dreaming about almost since he was a child himself.
Looking For The King: An Inklings Novel

It is 1940, and American Tom McCord, a 23-year-old aspiring doctoral candidate, is in England researching the historical evidence for the legendary King Arthur. There he meets perky and intuitive Laura Hartman, a fellow American staying with her aunt in Oxford, and the two of them team up for an even more ambitious and dangerous quest. Aided by the Inklings-that illustrious circle of scholars and writers made famous by its two most prolific members, C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien-Tom and Laura begin to suspect that the fabled Spear of Destiny, the lance that pierced the side of Christ on the cross, is hidden somewhere in England.
Tom discovers that Laura has been having mysterious dreams, which seem to be related to the subject of his research, and, though doubtful of her visions, he hires her as an assistant. Heeding the insights and advice of the Inklings, while becoming aware of being shadowed by powerful and secretive foes who would claim the spear as their own, Tom and Laura end up on a thrilling treasure hunt that crisscrosses the English countryside and leads beyond a search for the elusive relics of Camelot into the depths of the human heart and soul.
Weaving his fast-paced narrative with actual quotes from the works of the Inklings, author David Downing offers a vivid portrait of Oxford and draws a welcome glimpse into the personalities and ideas of Lewis and Tolkien, while never losing sight of his action-packed adventure story and its two very appealing main characters.
"This superbly gripping novel about dreams coming true is itself a dream come true. Lewis and Tolkien come alive as real-life characters, playing their sagacious parts to realistic perfection as the protagonists follow their Arthurian quest pursued by deadly enemies. For lovers of Arthurian romance and for admirers of Tolkien and Lewis, this is indeed a dream come true!" -- Joseph Pearce, Author, Tolkien: Man and Myth
"The subtitle of this book is 'An Inklings Novel. That claim might seem presumptuous at first. But lo--it is an Inklings novel. My own guess is that Lewis, Tolkien, and Williams would all be mightily pleased with it. All three of them, as it happens, figure as characters in the story, which is Arthurian, but set in the contemporary world--very much in the vein of That Hideous Strength and War in Heaven. The Inklings themselves are flawlessly depicted, as are the two protagonists, a very appealing young man and woman. All Inklings lovers will be highly delighted." -- Thomas Howard, Author, Narnia and Beyond
"A highly engaging historical mystery adventure that brings C. S. Lewis and his friends and ideas to life. Fans of Lewis and Tolkien will love it. I couldn't put it down!" -- Peter J. Schakel, Author, The Way into Narnia and Imagination and the Arts in C. S. Lewis
"Steeped in Arthurian lore, the mystery of the grail legends, and World War II intrigue, this engaging tale of a young man's search for a hidden relic ultimately uncovers treasure of a far different kind. David Downing's homage to C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien and Charles Williams succeeds masterfully in bringing these historical figures to life in the midst of an unfolding spiritual thriller. This is a beguiling and enjoyable read--laced throughout with romance, wry humor and questions of eternal consequence." -- Marjorie Lamp Mead, Associate Director, The Marion E. Wade Center, Wheaton College
David C. Downing, PhD, is the R. W. Schlosser Professor of English at Elizabethtown College in Pennsylvania. He is the author of four award-winning books on C. S. Lewis: Planets in Peril, The Most Reluctant Convert, Into the Region of Awe: Mysticism in C. S. Lewis and Into the Wardrobe: C. S. Lewis and the Narnia Chronicles. Downing has also written short fiction for Christianity Today and other periodicals.

In 2006, I started my career in family law litigation. While I was able to help clients reach resolution and guide them through difficult times in their lives using litigation, I also wanted to help them heal. As a Board Certified Specialist in Family Law, I understand the complexities of the family law statutes, but I'm also intent on being exceptional at helping my clients overcome the conflict inherent in divorce to reach agreements and move on with life.
When Collaborative Divorce became a North Carolina legal statute over ten years ago, it gave family law attorneys a powerful alternative to litigation. I now use Collaborative Divorce as a robust process to offer my clients a greater possibility of healing along with the assurance of knowing I will always work to protect what matters most to them.
I've seen how easy it is to forget what's important when arguments about assets intensify, when kids are caught in the crosshairs and when overwhelming feelings of fear and anger escalate. But divorce doesn't have to destroy everyone and everything.
Besides being certified as a Family Law Specialist by the State Bar, I am one of a handful of North Carolina family law attorneys who has the distinction of being a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® (CDFA). This distinction, and my decision to restrict my family law practice to Collaborative Divorce, makes me uniquely qualified to guide clients through complex financial dynamics during the divorce process.
Our initial consultation is a candid, confidential meeting where I want to understand the unique circumstances of your situation. Before our meeting ends, I will have outlined all of the legal options available to you. One of those options will be Collaborative Divorce, which is a non-court option.
Even if there's tension and strong emotions between you and your spouse, Collaborative Divorce can be a far more constructive way to end the marriage, especially when safeguarding your children and protecting your assets is a shared concern.
I cannot thank you enough for all that you have done to help me! I will always be thankful for your kindness and support of me. The way you understood my fears was very comforting and I will always remember that! You helped me more than you will ever know. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I am sure it is not always easy to assist couples going thru a divorce, but it was a pleasure working with the both of you. I think it was especially helpful when you tried to ease tension by trying to rephrase what one party was trying to communicate, in a way and tone, that made it easier for the other party to understand without getting defensive and/or offended. Very helpful. Thanks for all your help, support, and empathy.
I really appreciate all your help and support during this very difficult and trying time. It was a pleasure working with you and will definitely recommend your process to others I know getting a divorce. You have been wonderful to work with and very knowledgeable. Thanks for your help!
Thanks for the information and your kind words. While I knew this day was coming it is still met with a great deal of trepidation. I have however begun to adjust to my new lifestyle and more importantly so have my children.
I want to thank you for your patience, compassion and letting me speak my mind, you went way beyond your call of duty, and I will always be grateful for that.
If I need legal services in the future, you'll be my first choice.
Having heard/lived through/supported friends & family through so many horror stories, it meant a lot to me to find someone with the collaborative philosophy, and to work with someone who wasn't interested in stirring up drama where it wasn't already showing itself.

James Conner (center) was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in December.
Two months after Pittsburgh running back James Conner announced he'd been diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma, Conner is already back practicing with the team.
Conner had an outstanding 2014 season where he tallied over 1,700 rushing yards and 26 rushing touchdowns to earn ACC player of the year honors, but an MCL injury early in the year derailed the dynamic running back's 2015 campaign. Despite the diagnosis in December, Pittsburgh head coach Pat Narduzzi guaranteed that Conner will play in 2016.
Even Conner was optimistic about his return.
"I will play football again," Conner told the Associated Press. "I will be at Heinz Field again. I have the best coaches and the teammates in the country."
After watching him running and cutting, no one has any doubt Conner is on his way back onto the gridiron.

Las Vegas Sands Corp Reiterates Interest In Developing Integrated Resort In Vietnam
Las Vegas Sands Corp (LVSC) is one of the leading casino operators in the world and has iconic properties in Las Vegas, Macau and Singapore. While competitors such as MGM Resorts and Wynn Resorts continue to invest and develop casino resorts in the United States (US), LVSC has preferred to focus on the lucrative Asian market in the coming years.
LVSC recently announced that it was willing to invest up to $10 billion to develop an integrated resort in Japan, after the country recently lifted its gambling ban. Japan will initially issue only two casino licenses and LVSC wants to ensure that it is the recipient of one of those casino licenses. The company announced late last week that it was keeping a close watch on the Vietnamese market and reiterated its interest to develop an integrated resort in Vietnam.
Earlier this year, the Vietnamese government decided to lift the gambling ban it had imposed on locals and stated that it would try out a three year experiment allowing locals to gamble at two casino resorts in the country. If the experiment proves to be successful in terms of bringing in more revenue for the government and not increasing problem gambling and crime in the country, Vietnam could consider extending the three year pilot program and eventually allowing locals to gamble in more casinos.
The lifting of the gambling ban on locals is an encouraging sign of gaming operators who will now have a larger market in Vietnam. LVSC also wants to get in on the action and is interested in developing an integrated resort in either Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City which are the two most popular cities in Vietnam. The company is a specialist in developing Meetings, Incentives, Conventions, and Exhibitions (MICE) resorts and has had success in Asia, developing the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore and the Parisian Macao in Macau – which opened in September 2016.
The President and CEO for Marina Bay Sands and Managing Director of Global Development George Tanasijevich reiterated that LVSC would be willing to develop a MICE project in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City as they were encouraged by the fact that the government had lifted the ban on locals gambling but at the same time wanted to cautious in their approach to Vietnam as this was only a temporary three year experiment. Tanasijevich stated that LVSC had demonstrated that their MICE projects were successful in creating thousands of part time construction jobs and full time casino jobs, encouraging tourism, boosting the economy and generating a significant number of revenue in the form of gaming taxes for the local government.
LVSC was forced to make a number of changes to its usual marketing strategy in Macau after Beijing announced an anti-corruption crackdown on VIP gambling. Macau administrators encouraged the six major gaming operators in Macau to concentrate on diversifying their portfolio and increasing their non-gaming activities. LVSC has adapted to these changes during the last 24 months and will use its experience to adopt a similar strategy should they decided to develop a MICE project in Vietnam.
Tanasijevich believes that a MICE project in Vietnam will be of great benefit to Vietnam as it will encourage other international investors to do business in Vietnam. LVSC will also collaborate with local companies to put together cultural programs that will draw tourists into its resorts and cause them to learn more about Vietnam's rich cultural heritage. Tanasijevich also stressed the fact that LVSC would take care to ensure that it complies with all gambling regulators and ensure that problem gambling did not become a concern in the country.
LVSC has adopted a similar model in Singapore which has turned out to be rather successful and Tanasijevich stated that the company would look to roll out a similar model which was customized for the Vietnamese market. The government in Vietnam is eager to bring in more foreign investment and boost its casino industry but certain criteria make it difficult for investors to commit to a casino project. LVSC also highlighted these restrictions and stated that its decision to move ahead with a MICE project in Vietnam would depend on the minimum investment required by the government, new tax regulations and gaming requirements.
