Aman targets world indoor 600m best in Moscow
Mohamed Aman takes down a strong indoor field (© Anders Sjogren / DECA Text&Bild)
Mohammed Aman likes competing in Moscow. The Ethiopian teenager has never lost a race in the Russian capital and it's a record he hopes to maintain on 2 February when he competes at the Russian Winter, an IAAF Indoor Permit meeting.
But victory is not the only thing that will be on Aman's mind when he lines up for the 600m. This time he will be aiming to break the world indoor best for the distance.
The mark has stood to Nico Motchebon since 1999, the German clocking 1:15.12 in Sindelfingen. Despite several assaults on that performance in recent years, no one has yet managed to break it.
Aman came close to it at this year's edition of the Russian Winter meeting, but had to be content with a world junior indoor best of 1:15.60.
The next time Aman appeared in Moscow was at this year's IAAF World Championships, where he became the youngest ever winner of the world 800m title in the history of the championships.
Aman, who also won the world indoor title in 2012, will leave the junior ranks at the end of this year and his race in Moscow will be one of his first as a senior.
It won't be an easy one either, as he is up against the second-fastest man in history over 600m; Poland's Adam Kszczot. The 24-year-old excels indoors and has twice won the European indoor 800m title.
Kszczot also holds the Russian Winter 600m meeting record at 1:15.26, while his indoor 800m PB of 1:44.57 puts him at third on the world indoor all-time list.
Also in the field will be USA's Erik Sowinski, who clocked 1:15.99 at this year's Russian Winter meeting, then two weeks later set an American indoor best of 1:15.61.
It means that the 600m race in Moscow on 2 February will have three of the five fastest men of all time over the distance; all of them having got within half a second of the world indoor best in recent years.

Eating Out in Bristol
A Bristol cheese shop has been named as the best in the UK - here's where to find it
If you're a fan of fromage, you need to visit this place

The Bristol Cheesemonger has been named as the best in the UK (Image: The Bristol Cheesemonger/Facebook)
If you love cheese you couldn't brie living in a better place, as a small delicatessen in Bristol has just been named as the best in the UK at a national award ceremony.
The Great British Cheese Awards are what the Oscars are to the film industry; the Mercury Prize to music.
And The Bristol Cheesemonger, headed up by cheese connoisseur Rosie Morgan, beat the eight other delicatessens on the shortlist to walk away with the prestigious award last night.

The places in Bristol that serve the very best hummus
After relocating to foodie hotspot Cargo from St Nicholas Street earlier this year, the shop has grown in popularity and is loved by its customers for collecting the very finest seasonal cheeses from the area, with a strong emphasis on South West produce.
Cargo 2
This was one of the main reasons it won the award, which was launched last year to celebrate the very best of British cheese produced and distributed by independent cheesemakers and retailers in the UK.
Throughout June the thousands of applicants were whittled down to the absolute best for each of the five categories.
We try Bristol's newest bottomless Prosecco brunch and it is incredible
A panel of cheese experts then had the highly enviable task of sampling products from the finalists, before the awards ceremony took place in London last night.
And with The Bristol Cheesemonger walking away triumphant, the shop needs to be added to your must-visit list if you're a fan of fromage.

The benchmark U.S. interest rate, which plays a large role in setting borrowing costs for mortgages, credit cards, small business and auto loans, was set at a range of 0.5 per cent to 0.75 per cent when Trump was sworn in.
Investec economist Annabel Bishop said in a note that the Bank could strike a more hawkish tone during its scheduled meeting in September, meaning that it could flag potential increases in rates in future meetings, given the volatility in the rand.
The president spoke to Reuters in an exclusive interview, the newswire said. "I'm not thrilled." Mr. Trump, in an interview, added "I should be given more help by the Fed" through more accomodative monetary policy.
Recent presidents have largely avoided criticising the Fed, trying to preserve the bank's independence and its credibility with financial markets, foreign governments and the public.
The central bank is created to be independent from political interference. The Fed has raised rates twice this year. 1 meeting on Wednesday, has been raising rates gradually since 2015 and is now concerned the economy is so strong that inflation could rise persistently above its 2 percent target.
The Federal Reserve last raised interest rates in June, when it signaled that it could raise them two more times this year.
But that stands in contrast with the president's own words, which are often very critical of Powell and suggest the Fed should be moving in a different direction. That's the highest in 11 years.
U.S. businesses have a message for the Trump administration: New tariffs on $200 billion of Chinese imports will force Americans to pay more for items they use throughout their daily lives, from cradles to first bicycles and wedding dresses to coffins.
Donald Trump chose Jerome Powell past year to head the USA central bank, promoting a soft-spoken centrist to replace Janet Yellen. The president does choose members of the policy-setting Fed Board, and in addition to Powell, he has appointed one Fed governor and nominated three others.
"I am not happy about it". "I'll let you know in seven years".
The Fed, which released the readout from its July 31-Aug.


I came home to find a hot-off-the-presses copy of One Night Wilderness: San Francisco Bay Area by Matt Heid.
This just became my top reference for backpacking in the bay area. I think the trip descriptions are even better than his previous book, and the focus on overnight trips is a great help for our Boy Scout trips. There are plenty of good books about day hikes—you don't get to a 10th edition without being great (that would be Tom Taber's book).
I really like the rating scheme: scenery, difficulty, and solitude. Unsurprisingly, Henry Coe rates high on both difficulty and solitude.
This has a few hikes that are new to me and that makes me want to pack up and head out. The Wilson Peak loop in Henry Coe looks just right for the Venture Patrol's series of pre-Philmont shakedowns. It is weekend Scout trip season again, let's go!
There is only one thing I don't understand. How does a guy who lives in Massachusetts know so much about backpacking in my back yard?

Searching for Charles Gerhardt
A while back, I was appointed Historian for the City of Lebanon. In that role, I have attempted to learn as much as I can about the town. There are stories that I have heard all of my life, and I am steeped in the lore of the area. However, there are gaps in my knowledge.
Learning about the city requires research. I have gone through documents at the city museum and have spent some time in our county archives. I also get on the computer at home to see what can be found on the Internet.
It was an Internet search that led me to an online copy of Tennessee County History Series: Wilson County by Frank Burns, the man who knew more about the history of this area than anyone else I have known. Through a gradual reading, I made my way to the 1940s and World War II, where I found a passage that drew my interest. It reads:
Charles Gerhardt was the only Wilson County soldier to hold
the rank of major general in World War II. June 6 was more than
D-Day to Charles Hunter Gerhardt. It was his 49th birthday.
He went ashore with his troops, inched up the cliffs and the
high bluff with them, and spent the night of D-Day in a rock quarry
just 300 yards from the beach. It was the luck of the 29th to draw
the sector where the German army had concentrated its heaviest
defenses. One company lost all of its officers but one before its
assault boats ever landed on the beach. Within minutes after an-
other company touched the beach, it was out of action, every man
killed or wounded, huddled weaponless against the base of the
cliff. But it was not to be a day of defeat. Slowly the men edged off
Omaha Beach. By the end of the day the 29th was a mile inland.
Omaha Beach was followed by Isigny. There General Gerhardt
moved among his troops as they advanced on the outskirts of the
town, disregarding land mines, rifle bullets, and machine gun fire.
It caught my eye because I have never heard of Charles Gerhardt and never heard of a Major General from Lebanon leading his troops at the D-Day Invasion. This is an interesting part of our history that has apparently been forgotten, and I was determined to find out more. This led to the search for Charles Gerhardt.
A Google search brought up several links, but Wikipedia was the first stop. I know Wikipedia has issues, but I am not writing a scholarly paper. It is only a blog post. Anyway, I learned that Charles Gerhardt played baseball, polo and football at West Point. In 1916, he quarterbacked the football team to a victory of Notre Dame, which was coached by Knute Rockne and led by George Gipp. Some may remember that Gipp was immortalized on film by Ronald Reagan.
The Wikipedia page continues with Gerhardt's other accomplishments. He served in World War I and was an equestrian judge at the 1932 Olympics. While Frank Burns praises him, this page says that he was a controversial figure who oversaw high casualty rates and opened a brothel for his men after the invasion.
Wikipedia says a lot about Gerhardt, but it does not say where he was born. For that information, I had to click more links. The next stop was the website for Arlington National Cemetery. It contains some of the same information and provides additions to his military record. However, it does not say where he was born.
This is when I began thinking that Frank Burns was wrong. There is no way this man could be from Lebanon. I know of no one who has heard of him, and his birthplace is omitted from every website. That is when I noticed a link to his father, who was also named Charles Gerhardt. The older Gerhardt was also a military man and reached the rank of Brigadier General.
While searching his life, I discovered that "he was detailed to Cumberland University at Lebanon, Tennessee, 1894-1897." While here, he became Secretary of the Military Wheelmen. Have you ever heard of that? Neither have I. It was an organization that designed bicycles for military use. He also designed a uniform to make them less visible. Yep, he was on the cutting edge of camouflage.
All of that was great to find out. Charles Gerhardt was in Lebanon when his son was born in 1895. However, why was a career military man "detailed to Cumberland University?" It has never been a military school.
To find that, I had to return to the writings of Frank Burns. It turns out that the elder Gerhardt taught military science and tactics at the university.
Through all of that, I learned something new about the history of Lebanon, Tennessee. Major General Charles Gerhardt, who led his men onto the beaches of France, was born here. He also went on the defeat the Gipper and found a whorehouse. Overall, he led an interesting life, and it all started here.

It Must Have Been the Fourth of July
Here in the United States, the Fourth of July is a big day. Back in 1776, there were a couple of days in the first week of July that were important. John Adams thought the Second of July would be celebrated for years to come, but we have settled on doing it two days later. Of course, other things have happened on that date. These are just a few.
965 – Pope Benedict V passed away.
1054 – People in China and Arabia looked in the sky and see a supernova.
1634 – Quebec, Canada was founded. Back then, it was called Trois-Rivieres and was in the colony of New France.
1636 – Providence, Rhode Island came into existence.
1754 – George Washington surrendered Fort Necessity to the French. That was an important event during the French and Indian War.
1802 – The United States Military Academy opened in West Point, New York.
1803 – The American people learned of the Louisiana Purchase.
1804 – Nathaniel Hawthorne was born.
1816 – Hiram Walker, founder of Canadian club whiskey, was born.
1826 – John Adams, the second president of the United States, and Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States, passed away.
1831 – James Monroe, the fifth president of the United States passed away.
1837 – Grand Junction Railway opened between Birmingham and Liverpool.
1865 – Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was published.
1879 – British forces captured and destroyed Ulundi, the Zululand capital.
1882 – Louis B. Mayer was born.
1902 – Gangster Meyer Lansky was born.
1903 – Dorothy Levitt competed in a motor race. That made her the first woman to do that.
1914 – A funeral was held for Archbishop Franz Ferdinand and his wife.
1922 – Lothar von Richtofen, younger brother of the Red Baron, passed away.
1929 – Al Davis, owner of the Oakland Raiders, was born.
1934 – Marie Curie, who received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry and the Nobel Prize in Physics, passed away.
1939 – Lou Gehrig told the fans in Yankee Stadium that he considered himself "the luckiest man on the face of the earth."
1943 – Geraldo Rivera, who looked in Al Capone's vault, was born.
1946 – The Philippines gained independence from the United States.
1966 – Lyndon Johnson signed the Freedom of Information Act.
2009 – Steve McNair, former quarterback of the Tennessee Titans, was killed.

Skeletons of 98 species of 24 genera of Parulinae were studied. (The other 12 species and 1 genus have not been preserved as skeletons.) Skull, mandible, quadrate, hyoid, humerus, ulna, femur, tibiotarsus, sternum, ribs, and vertebral column were perused; 24 characters proved useful for generic distinctions. Taxonomic suggestions are: Moving Parula superciliosa and P. gutturalis to Vermivora; merging Parula with Dendroica; moving Microligea, Xenoligea, and Granatellus from Parulinae to Thraupinae; moving Rhodinocichla from Thraupinae to Parulinae. The subfamily Parulinae is defined by skeletal characters. Construction of a key to the skeletons of warbler genera resulted in separation of 18 genera.

In this video lesson, courtesy of Elixir Strings, guitarist Allan Salmon teaches a funky lick and demonstrates ways to improve your rhythm playing. You can watch the lesson above.
One thing that's key to good rhythm playing is having fresh strings. With Elixir Optiweb strings, you get all the performance of a natural string — that crisp tone, natural feel and playable grip you know and love — without sacrificing the long-lasting tone life that the company is known for.
"Elixir Strings are now essential for me," Salmon says. "They sound fresh gig after gig and feel new for such a long time. I couldn't use anything else."

SunEarth and Inter-Island Solar Supply, our Hawaii distributor, teamed up to provide solar water heating systems for 476 homes at the Helemano Military Reservation located in central Oahu. Grand Solar and Pacific Mechanical, both of Honolulu, served as the primary installation contractors. An additional 134 systems were installed by a third contractor. The entire 610 home job is one of the largest solar water heating projects ever undertaken in the United States.
SunEarth, Inter-Island and Pacific Mechanical also collaborated on two concurrent Army retrofit projects for 40 additional homes at the Waianae Army Recreation Center as well as a commercial system for the Wheeler Army Airfield Fire Station.
Estimated annual energy savings from the project, which was completed in 2002, is a healthy $395,000. Hawaiian Electric Co.'s residential efficient water heating program provided the Army with $610,650 in demand-side management rebates.

Large ribbed leaves, strong flavour. Standard lettuce-leaf type grown in Italy.
Here's to good health, naturally! Cayenne, Comfrey, Valerian and Calendula.
We discovered this amazing colorful ornamental growing in the field of one of our New England customers. Never have we seen such a wide diversity of color in one variety. This one is a must for fall ornamental displays.
They keep up to six months! Start seeds in March. (Horned melon) Quite unlike other cucumbers, this one has small orange spiny fruits, 8-13cm/3-5" long, possessing a subtle banana-lime flavour.
86 days from transplant. Plants offer excellent uniformity along with the benefit of Intermediate Resistance to White Tip of Leek, Rust and Thrips. This very productive variety produces long heavy shanks that are very easy to clean.
Up to 90cm/3ft with pink flowers. Excellent lemon scent with larger leaves and more robust growth habit than the standard lemon basil variety.
Sow every 14 days indoors or out for a continuous supply of fresh leaves. Delightful companion to mustard cress #4150. Ready to use when seedlings have 3 or 4 leaves.
For years Dasher II has proven itself as a dependable hybrid slicer in major cucumber growing areas. Yields and quality get high grades. Straight, classy, highly uniform, 8" dark green fruit are set on disease resistant vines.

Children love it, and it's perfect for fall decoration. It yields fruit per plant and remains firm for a long time. Munchkin is a fascinating novelty for dried arrangements and other decorations.
Has a faint thyme-like aroma. Helps overcome stomach weakness. New research shows it is a good skin and wound remedy. Infusion of leaves makes a pleasant cordial tea.
American Dream offers superb eating quality, a very tender kernel and outstanding flavor. The 7.5" trim ears have 16-18 rows of bicolor kernels and are wrapped in a dark green husk with several long flag leaves.
Gold Medal pumpkins are quite widely used and it is the standard extra-large variety that growers prefer to grow. Fruit are produced on large vines and have a deep orange color, and thick, strongly attached stems.

3.53 lbs, 13.36" x 9.25" x 0.7"
We were immediately pretty impressed by this little gem. It's sleek, modern, and incredibly lightweight at only about 3.5lbs. This is a huge plus, considering my kids will be using it the most. They don't need to lug around anything heavy or cumbersome.
Setting up the Cloudbook was very simple and straightforward. This laptop runs on Windows 10, which seems SO MUCH BETTER THAN WINDOWS 8. There. I said it. I am not a fan of Windows 8, but 10 seems like a huge improvement, since it's very easy to navigate.
We really love the fact that we can enjoy premium features like Cortana with voice, Office 365 Personal, and the generous 1 TB OneDrive. This laptop also boasts an Intel Celeron N3050 Processor, Intel HD Graphics, and up to 3x faster wireless speeds.
Once we had our accounts and virus protection set up, we downloaded the Acer Cloud apps. This allows you to sync your Cloudbook with your phone, tablet, and other devices. You can store photos, movies, files, and documents securely in the Acer Cloud. It's simple to set up, and easy to manage.
Now let's talk speed and performance.
For basic things like web browsing, e-mail, and social media, this laptop ROCKS. The speed is definitely decent, and load times aren't too shabby. I did notice that if I try and multi-task and have several windows open, things slow down quite a bit. This is to be expected with a machine with these specifications. I don't expect it to have the power of my MUCH more expensive Mac. For what it is, the Cloudbook does quite well.
The sound is nice and crisp, which was a nice surprise. I love streaming music while I surf the net, and the Cloudbook did not disappoint.
The graphics and camera are both decent, but they could be a bit better. Again, this is a budget-friendly laptop, so it's not going to come with the best hardware on the market. So if you're looking for something with super-crisp, HD graphics, this isn't the laptop for you. If you;'re a more casual user who enjoys watching video and looking at cat pictures online, I'm sure that the graphics will be more than adequate. So while these aren't the best, they're not the worst I've seen, either.
The battery life is also very impressive. We typically see about 12 hours of use before we need to charge the battery. That is actually significantly longer than I see with my MacBook Pro!
There are things I wish this included, like a touchscreen or maybe a wee bit more RAM, but keeping in mind the price point, I wouldn't expect these features to be included. This is really more of a basic laptop. It gets the job done at decent speed, and it's user-friendly.
The large amount of Cloud storage is really the selling point here, in my humble opinion. A whole TB, stored securely in the Acer Cloud rather than bogging down the computer? Sign me up!
Overall, we're definitely impressed with the Acer Aspire One Cloudbook. It is wonderful quality for the price, and will definitely be put to good use in my home. It is a basic laptop more suited to kids or the casual internet user. I wouldn't use it as my primary blogging or gaming computer, but it will be absolutely perfect for Xander as he starts school next year.
If you're looking for the perfect starter computer or a back-up that's user-friendly, reasonably fast, and dependable, I would definitely recommend checking out what the Acer Aspire One Cloudbook has to offer. For under $200, it's a steal!
Also, be sure to connect with Acer on Facebook and on twitter to stay on top of their latest products and promotions!

On 6th Jan 2017, a session on Digital Marketing was conducted by Mr. Soumitra Ghotikar specially for upcoming and existing entrepreneurs. The session had a tremendous response by all 30 participants. The training took place at the Engineering Cluster, Chinchwad Pune.
Special topics were covered on idea generation, validation and converting into online income streams. Topics such as Domain Name, Hosting, WordPress Website Design, Social Media Marketing, Content Creation, Distribution, Marketing etc., were covered, which removed the fear from the students minds on building an Online Business. And most important was that the course contents and presentation material was in Marathi.

Digital technology and 3D printing have significantly elevated the rate of success and transformed the workflow and practice of dental implant standards of care. Click here to read the results of the study on implants produced by laser sintering.
These results indicate that additively manufactured 3D porous constructs mimicking human trabecular bone and produced with additional surface treatment can be customized for increased osteoblast response. Increased factors for osteoblast maturation and differentiation on high porosity constructs suggest the enhanced performance of these surfaces for increasing osseointegration in vivo.
The objective of this study was to examine the influence of a trabecular inspired porosity manufactured by laser sintering on cell response and bone ingrowth. The effect of a 3D trabecular porosity was also observed in vivo, where porous implants were able to support vertical bone growth even without the addition of exogenous factors. Laser sintering was used to produce constructs for in vitro and implants for in vivo studies. Ti–6Al–4V implants fabricated by additive manufacturing to have porosity based on trabecular bone and post-build processing to have micro/nano surface roughness can support vertical bone growth in vivo, and suggests that these implants may be used clinically to increase osseointegration in challenging patient cases.


First and foremost, who is Toby Ganger and where does he reside?
I am a hip hop artist, songwriter, gymnastics coach, former child actor, a cynical optimist, and someone generally interested in the human experience and pursuing truth. I am from Los Angeles, California.
For those that do not know you were apart of the ultra dope hip-hop group Inverse with Tunji. In January of 2012, you released your solo offering the Evolutionary EP. Can you describe how your writing approach differs in regards to writing for a group and solo?
The approach to making music as a solo artist is vastly different throughout. First, I have the freedom to direct the composition of the music itself in the direction that I want and I can push certain boundaries in ways I couldn't do as part of a group.
Secondly, I'm able to touch upon subject matter in a more direct, unapologetic, and honest way without having to be part of a cohesive unit. This can be anything from the very personal and emotional to subjects that might be more controversial.
Lastly, and perhaps more obviously, is that I have more verses during the songs in which to express myself so that allows room to tell a story from beginning to end in detail without being limited to one verse per song. Overall, I find it to be incredibly liberating, and the process has provided a tremendous amount of joy, catharsis, and growth that I hope will be experienced on some level by the listener.
Speaking of the Evolutionary EP, how was the feedback for the project and who is featured on the project?
So far the feedback on the first EP has been really good. In this era of devalued and bootlegged music, some have gone out of their way to show tremendous support and I greatly appreciate it.
I want to give a shout out to Deacon The Villain from Cunninlynguists who makes an appearance on the EP on the song "Sunshine Blues". As soon as I wrote the part of the song, I knew he would be the perfect one to perform it and he graciously recorded it for me an exceeded my high expectations.
I know that many people first gave my EP a chance because of his presence so again thank you Deacon! I would say the overwhelming majority of the feedback I've seen or received has been positive even from brand new listeners.
This gives me hope that with more of a promotional push that the 2nd EP will be able to greatly exceed the first in both listeners and reception.
Why should people invest their time and money into purchasing Evolutionary EP?
The music is honest, the lyrics are thoughtful, intelligent, and touch on things that most do not and in a way, it is well developed musically (no samples, much time went in to developing it with the help of great musicians and singers), the hooks are strong, it is different yet approachable, and it comes from passion and the devotion to making something special that people can connect to on emotional, intellectual, and primal levels.
They should invest their money in this project if they appreciate what I'm trying to do with the understanding that all that support funds more music.
Working with musicians, singers, producers, and the cost of recording, mixing, mastering, distribution, CD production, photos, videos, and promotion all take a tremendous amount of time and money to make a reality.
Without the financial support I simply can not afford to continue making music with this amount of heart in it, let alone be able to support myself and my family.
Recently you shared on your Twitter page that you are releasing Evolutionary 2 soon, how will Evolutionary 2 differ from the original EP?
I started working on this project with the intention of Evolutionary being a full LP.
The process took so long for a variety of reasons that by the time I got about 10 songs into it I realized that the last few songs just felt like a different project. The music and subject matter is more intense.
The first EP only touches on certain issues and has a more hopeful vibe.
I think the second EP is still hopeful but deals with the struggle of trying to be hopeful and be happy and still be honest about the world and your place in it. It's that delicate balance of self-definition and trying to be brutally honest with oneself and with the world that underlies most of the 2nd EP.
One of the things that I value about your writing is the honesty that you present. Would you mind telling us who influenced you growing up?
Thank you!. One of the cool things about living in a city like Los Angeles is that if you keep your eyes and ears open you will be exposed to an enormous diversity of culture. I grew up exploring music and gaining huge influences from everything from the Beatles to Beethoven to James Brown.
I listened to a lot of Salsa and Samba music, loved Motown, loved middle eastern music and Afrobeat. The older I got the more I explored and reaped the reward from a wide world of musical traditions. I was a huge Michael Jackson fan also. I listened to hip hop because I always had my ear pressed to a radio. It had already seeped into mainstream pop culture and top 40 stations by then.
But in 1994, in the span of about 2 weeks, I heard Common's album Resurrection and Nas's Illmatic. I had always been obssesed with music and always had a fascination with words. Those albums brought those two things together in a way that captivated me forever.
I spent most of my younger days of rapping trying to be like Common on Ressurrection. As I got older and started finding out who I was as an artist it was the spirit of those artists that fueled my eventual understanding of what made me unique and that I couldn't or shouldn't try to sound like someone else.
I teach gymnastics, I sleep, I eat food, I love my wife, I read, I enjoy intellectual conversations and really stupid ones, and I try to grow as a human being.
I generally just try to find moments of transcendence...art, music, beautiful landscapes or women, the laugh of children, the smile on my wife's face, those moments that take you outside of yourself and your worries, fears, and temporary struggles and into a world of pure experience.
You stated in the previous question that you teach gymnastics. Are the students that you teach aware that you are a recording artist? How about the parents?
Some of the older kids know about my music. They've actually been really supportive. I've casually mentioned it to some of the younger ones and they mostly just find it funny.
I've only told a few parents over the years and that's because it doesn't come up unless they really take the time to get to know me. I've only had very positive feedback from parents but I still only bring it up if it comes in the conversation. Most don't care.
Will the world ever witness another Inverse album?
I think the safe bet would be NO. We've both grown in different directions and want different things out of life. Without getting into it further I won't completely rule it out but it's highly unlikely.
I've started work on my 3rd EP. I'm not yet sure if this will be part of the Evolutionary series or something different.
I can already tell this 3rd project will be another gradual evolution musically and lyrically. It should be another adventure.

Berlin can seem like an overwhelming, sprawling place to visit sometimes. That's why anyone spending time in the city needs to follow the guys at Slow Travel Berlin to get the very best info regarding off-the-beaten-track hangouts and activities.
Employees and their roles: Paul Sullivan (Founder & Editor), Brian Melican (Sub Editor), Natalie Holmes (Listings Editor), Rebecca Loyche (Art Listings) plus a team of lovely and excellent contributors inc. Marian Ryan, Giulia Pines, Paul Scraton, Tam Eastley, Grashina Gabelmann, Natalye Childress, Marcel Krueger, Vanessa Remoquillo, Rhea Boyden and Wyndham Wallace.
Company motto: Slow Travel Berlin is first and foremost a repository of eclectic information about the city from a range of perspectives. Our take on travel is very sustainable, something that's needed in a city as swamped with tourism as Berlin. We feature regular contributions from city residents on subjects ranging from food and family life to art and personal experiences with an aim to encourage deeper, more varied exploration and promotion of small, locally-minded businesses and services. We aim to facilitate any quest to get beneath the skin of the city a little, or discover it at a more leisurely pace. We offer an insider's view that at the same time tries to be as inclusive as possible.
Company Highlights so far: Company Highlights so far (best achievements): Consistently delivering high-quality content on Berlin that is deeper and broader than most, and with zero budget. We've also hosted two really fun (and quite big!) events this year: our "Day of Cuisine, Creativity and Culture in Berlin" at the Markthalle IX (April 2012) was packed with great and free things to do, including a Locavore food market, things for kids, a literary corner with bookstalls and music performances. It was really popular and we might repeat it next year; and The Slowlympics (August 2012), which was our non-commercial, Monty-Python-esque take on the Olympics that included Compact Discus throwing and Slow Cycling races.
Goals for next 12 months: We'd like to do more events this year, both large and small. We've also been testing the water with various tours and workshops (photography, walking and cycling tours, film making - all sustainably minded), which we will launch properly next year. And we're producing a couple of books, the first of which should be ready for Spring and will be a fantastic companion for anyone wanting to get to know Berlin's hidden nooks and crannies a little better.
Biggest Challenge ahead: Growing a business model that is fair, non-hierarchical and transparent. Expanding without losing our Slow ethic.
What are the main things are you looking for at the moment: Now that we're expanding, I think we could do with someone to help manage everything. Someone who knows about marketing would be a great help too, since we need to start spreading our vision (and commercial services) beyond the local blogger scene. And we are always happy to link up with like-minded services and people in different cities and countries.


Budgeting is a vital task that is typically tedious due to the logistics of manually linking spreadsheets together, but today's software has changed that experience. Third party software manufacturers are bringing more streamlined, more modern solutions to market to meet today's planning needs. Like most companies, you have likely outgrown a homegrown Excel planning process, so there's no time like the present to start shopping independent software vendor (ISV) planning solutions to accelerate and simplify your budgeting responsibilities. Revered Business Solutions, Inc is happy to report that the premier modern budgeting tools empower you to achieve secure teamwork, with the capability to get rid of the tedium as the budget manager and allow contributors to truly own part of the planning process.
Planning usually entails a number of professionals coming together to design a budget or forecast. Budgeting consists of a comparison of historical actuals with research-driven projected numbers. Internationally, finance departments have been depending on Excel for decades, but it can be challenging with more than one budget contributor. Even though most organizations are still working within Excel, some have moved to Sage Budgeting & Planning over time, so a third party product requires another investment in addition to current licensing. This article will explore the benefits you can experience by implementing an ISV budgeting solution to expand your Sage 500 experience.
Best-of-breed planning solutions have continued to become more popular recently, likely due to the flexible and rich budgeting abilities, in addition to the security that allows for the requisite collaboration to put together a comprehensive financial plan. Furthermore, with interface choices (Excel, Web, and/or proprietary), consumers can implement a solution that best serves their team as they work toward planning goals. The best ISV budgeting solutions also come with accounting logic, easy-to-use automation, and reusable templates built right into the product.
ISVs are answering customers' demands for streamlined, collaborative, and secure planning processes. The best planning software invites budget managers to distribute access rights to department supervisors to work on the budget that they have to manage throughout the year, getting away from lengthy e-mail threads with heftier spreadsheet attachments – and the frustration of linking spreadsheets. Then, the budgeting manager can make sure that the teamwork leads to a complete financial plan. And the best part? It's not too good to be true. You can see potential returns on your investment in the form of money, time, and energy.
When investing in one of today's powerful planning tools, you'll probably see returns not only in money, but your time and team morale. A lot of customer have asked Revered Business Solutions, Inc, "What should we be looking for in the best budgeting solution to help us accomplish our goals with Sage 500?" You should evaluate which platform option is best for you, how you'd like to integrate your company information, whether you'd like to go with a standalone tool versus a completely integrated, comprehensive suite of Business Intelligence (BI) tools.

My dad was in World War II, on a destroyer. He was a quietly powerful influential person. He taught me that your actions speak louder than your words. But when he spoke, people listened. He was very quiet but he always knew what was going on. If you asked him for advice he would give it to you but he would never give it if you didn't ask. He built a house in Milwaukee when I was five… he used to raise beagles (had a national field champion). We had a pen with 5-6 and every Saturday morning in the winter he and I (and my brothers later) would let the dogs out and go rabbit hunting. We would bring rabbit home and skin them and clean them and my mother would make rabbit. As we grew up, there was a formal hunting lesson…. The first year you wouldn't carry a gun, the second you could carry a gun but you had to be with dad, third year you could be at eyes distance, and the fourth year you could hunt by yourself. He wanted to make sure you could understand the intricacies and dangers of hunting. He had a tremendous respect for Mother Nature. In 1976 he bought a small cabin and 40 acres in Niagara, Wisconsin.
He expanded that land and now that cabin is still there on 240 acres. There's a great story that goes with that. When he bought it there was a one room cabin. We would all hunt out of it. It was like watching a ballet… if one guy moved everyone had to move. The cabin was the size of my living room in my house. Well for years and years and years he talked about wanting to build a cabin. SO we talked and talked and I got married and was raising a family and my brothers were raising families… there was never the time and or the money. In December of 1996 I got a phone call at 4 AM that my father had had a massive stroke. Everyone rushed to the hospital and while we were sitting in the waiting room and he was being taken care of, my brothers and sisters and I all looked at each other and said if dad comes out of this we're going to build the cabin that he wanted. The following November we had built a 2200 square foot cabin with indoor plumbing, cedar siding, and everything he could have possibly wanted in a cabin. Because of his stroke he wasn't as mobile as he used to be. That November he shot the very first deer that year from the porch of that cabin. He shot an 8 point buck and it made for a very joyous celebration. He was real solid, down to earth and hardworking. Everything you could ever want in a dad. He was supportive but wanted you to learn independence. He was a real role model. Everybody that knew him respected him. Hunting and fishing were a part of his life, my life and our life together. He taught me everything I know about the outdoors. When we go to deer camp, it's not so much about the hunting but more about the camaraderie. We will go to deer camp this year and tell the same stories we have told every year. I haven't missed a deer season since 1968.
The people who attend your hunt, who are they?
It started out with four friends and four brothers. Now, it's my brothers, my nephews, and my son in laws and then many of their friends that have heard about the hunt and want to be a part of it and a number of my close friends, of course. Guys that I've hunted with for years and years. Danny Treutelaar, who is one of my dearest friends… we've hunted together since 1971. That's how it's grown from 8 to 58.We'll see where it goes from here, but we're literally maxed out this year. The one thing I will tell you is that this is the greatest most generous group of sportsmen and women I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.
Tell me more about the charities involved. I know that's a very important factor of this hunt.
I just got off the phone with one of my investment guys and I told him I was getting ready for the hunt… I told him, to me… and I know this sounds very self-serving but I have been so blessed. I have four wonderful brothers a wonderful sister and a gorgeous wife of 38 years. My kids are incredibly successful and I have seven amazing grand-children. I have a beautiful home and a comfortable life. It's payback time…. How do you say thank you…. What did I do to deserve that? But whatever it is, I'm grateful for it. But I feel this overwhelming urgency to pay it forward. A number of years ago Make a Wish stopped funding hunts for terminally ill kids and I didn't think that was right so we began doing it on a limited bases. You see these little kids with these awful diseases. Last summer we sent 15 kids that were in chemo on a fishing trip on Lake Michigan. There's no way their parents could afford a trip like that as every nickel and dime they're making is going to their medical care. We have the opportunity to show them a different world. They fish Coho Salmon on Lake Michigan. They forget that they're sick and they focus on hanging onto that fish and getting it into the boat. It's a beautiful thing to see. The payback is ten thousand fold. We took fifteen disabled vets on a pheasant hunt. We got ATV's, all terrain wheelchairs. The guys came, they brought their dogs and they were able to shoot from their chairs. By the grace of god, I get to go out and hunt everyday on my feet and I never think about it. And then you see a disabled vet, and I realize if I can do something to make their life more livable, and more pleasant…. Why wouldn't I want to do that?

Synopsis: An overweight woman living in Portland Maine is tired of all the stares that the locals give her so she corresponds with a man living in San Francisco and agrees to go out there and meet with him. After a few days she returns to Portland to mull things over and when offered an advanced position in the pharmacy where she works, finds she has a big decision to make.
It wasn't always easy for single women in Portland, Maine, to find men. It was even harder for such women to find them if they didn't appear to follow what was considered to be the proper norm.
Times were changing; the sting of the Civil War had ended and the nation was coming together once again. Still, it was often a challenge for people to find jobs and things that they wanted unless they were in some of the biggest cities around. People around Portland had been dreaming about the large city of New York and how it just had more opportunities for them.
Still, there were many who held onto the hope that they could find great lives for themselves in Portland. One such woman who held on with the belief that she could do something here, was Sally Harper.
Although she had a steady job, Sally didn't seem to think much about her future with regards to the money she was earning or her position at the pharmacy she worked at. Rather, she was more concerned about whether or not there would ever be a man in her life.
However, life had not dealt her a good hand to begin with. She was not as proud of her body as others in town were of their own. She wasn't as thin and slender as all the other women in town were. She had a few extra pounds on her in many spots around her body, particularly around her waist and thighs. It did not take much for her to stand out from the rest of the pack.
This wasn't the most desirable look that a woman could have but it was a look that Sally was stuck with. She tried many things to keep that weight off but nothing ever seemed to work. She even fell victim to many of those snake oil salesmen who constantly came around and tried to sell random cures that claimed to do everything that a woman wanted to make her body stand out.
Her life was not the easiest one to lead but it was a life that she was stuck with. She didn't feel all that happy about herself but she knew that deep down, there had to be a way for her to find a man who would actually love her for who she was. To her, having plenty of money and the potential to earn more was not enough to make her happy.
Sally had quite a bit of money and more than enough time in her life to do anything that she wanted. She was one of the first women in her family to attain a grade school education. She wanted to help her mother learn how to read and write, but it was a challenge to try to teach her.
Still, she wanted to find a way to show the world that she was a woman

Eason's Research Leads To New 'Switch Off And Read' Campaign
by Sophie Gavin
How much time do you spend reading with your children? Do you see reading as important to your children's development?
These are questions which Eason aim to answer as part of their fantastic new campaign.
Encouraging Your Tablet Loving Kid To Read More!
Last week, Eason Ireland announced details of its new 'Switch Off and Read' campaign. The aim of the campaign is to improve literacy and encourage a love of reading among children. It also aims to inspire parents and their children to spend less time on screens and more time reading.
Eason carried out research which concluded that while 84% of Irish people believe that reading books is an important part of a child's development, 47% of people agreed that time spent on electronic devices is the biggest obstacle to children reading and 74% would like to have more time to read.
These findings inspired a partnership with Suas, Ireland's leading children's literacy charity, to form the 'Switch Off and Read campaign.
https://www.instagram.com/p/B266P1QnKQt/
Speaking about the new campaign, Brendan Corbett, Group Head of Marketing at Eason said "Reading is an essential part of a child's growth, helping to develop creativity and imagination as well as literacy skills for the future. There is no doubt that mobile phones, tablets and laptops play a significant role in our lives but we all need a reminder to switch off and swap out screen time for reading time. Reading with children inspires reading for life."
John Logue, CEO Suas added, "For children in disadvantaged communities, literacy changes everything. It is the means through which every child, regardless of their circumstances, can realise their potential. Our ambition is to end childhood illiteracy in Ireland's most disadvantaged communities. With Eason's support, we are taking a big step towards achieving that ambition."
Eason will also be donating 1,500 books to the children Suas
are mentoring as part of their literacy programme.

Nature's Sleep offers a 20 year warranty, as opposed to the standard 10 year warranty from most other mattress brands. I will say that this mattress does come at a slightly higher price.But, this warranty, as well as being made with emerald gel makes this mattress well worth the added price.
This is along the exact same lines with comfort as well as support. It is important that a mattress is never too hard, or too soft.A mattress should be as neutral as it can be, to ensure both your body and spine stay in a neutral position.If a mattress is too rigid, it will irritate your stress points, causing pinched nerves and stopping adequate blood flow. If you find that a lot of the times you awake, with the sensation of having pins and needles in your body, this is a sign of a mattress that is too rigid. And if you wake up with frequent back pain, most likely this is because your mattress is too soft. This results in a concaving effect, like a hammock. Which makes your spine be out of alignment.It is important to locate a mattress with a neutral feeling, that will certainly be both rigid and also soft in the perfect places.
One of the most overlooked parts of searching for the right mattress, is the breathability of a mattress material. Also known as temperature neutrality. Among the most effective attributes of memory foam mattresses, is how they conform to your body. Foam mattresses that have reduced layers are notorious for having the oven result. Essentially,a mattress catches your temperature,forcing you to rest also hot.|What happens in a nutshell, is that a mattress absorbs your body heat; causing you to sleep hot.}Most mattress companies these days use modern technology, to create special materials. The purpose is to provide breathability, and also to distribute your body warmth equally.Some companies do a far better job at this, than some of their competitors.
It is no surprise that if you're looking a high top quality mattress, that they don't come cheap.It's quite an investment to make. This is why it's so important, that when the time comes, you choose a mattress brand that will last you for years.It is crucial to find a mattress that has been well developed, with a lifetime period in mind. If you decide you are going to purchase a mattress, at least invest your money into a mattress that offers at the least, a 10 year warranty.

Zombie zeal: The undead are living large this…
Zombie zeal: The undead are living large this Halloween
Armando Olivares of Distortions Unlimited in Greeley works on a zombie product Tuesday. He was fixing a tube designed to spit fake blood. The 33-year-old monster-making company worked hard to keep up with this year's appetite for the walking dead.
By Electa Draper | The Denver Post
PUBLISHED: October 28, 2011 at 4:31 p.m. | UPDATED: May 2, 2016 at 9:03 a.m.
Just before Halloween, Ed Edmunds applied the last daubs of gore to zombie faces due for shipment.
"I don't know what's going on," said Edmunds, founder of Greeley- based Distortions Unlimited, a 33-year-old monster-making shop that slaved to keep up with this year's demand for the walking dead.
"In the industry, we've been saying, 'Zombies are the new vampires.' They're just more super-popular than ever," he said.
The National Retail Federation's recent survey of costumes found that more than 2.6 million Americans planned to dress as zombies this year. And although final sales figures aren't in yet, the 600-store Party City chain, too, predicted the fake undead will overtake vampires as top sellers.
Even before this Monday night was a gleam in trick-or-treaters' eyes, a surging fascination with zombies has inspired — and fed on — a slew of new movies, novels, nonfiction books, video games and TV shows, such as the American Movie Channel's ratings phenomenon "The Walking Dead."
Zombie scholars say zombies reveal deep truths about human nature and culture, and our current preoccupation with them reflects anxiety over a host of topics, such as mindless, voracious consumerism, as well as overpopulation and pandemics.
The craze also speaks to brainwashing by mass media and marketing, said University of Colorado English professor Stephen Graham Jones, who teaches a class on the Boulder campus called Zombie Renaissance. Zombies are cursed by insatiable appetite without pleasure and of joyless routine without freedom to choose or change, and they are a vivid demonstration that there are worse things than death.
"We tell ourselves zombie stories to remind us we shouldn't live beyond the natural boundaries of life — or seek a third stage of life in this world," Jones said.
Humans are biologically hard-wired to anticipate some fearsome predator coming after them, and zombies are currently capturing our imaginations, he said.
"We need that figure in the dark that wants to eat us," said Jones, the author of zombie novel "It Came From Del Rio" and the forthcoming "Zombie Bake-Off." "Vampires have become tragic or romantic figures. Vampire are largely seduction tales. They're no longer the scary creature in the dark."
Zombies are frightening, he said, because they are so single-minded and nonresponsive. We could easily become just like them, yet nobody really knows who or what is compelling or controlling them.
"You can't negotiate with a zombie," Jones said. "They have only one impulse — that's to eat us or our brains."
Christopher Moreman, assistant professor of philosophy at California State University at East Bay, said that zombie activity historically has been associated with racism, slavery, oppression and exploitation.
Today's zombie popularity is tied to current dissatisfaction with capitalism, globalism and materialism, Moreman suggests in "Zombies Are Us: Essays on the Humanity of the Walking Dead," one of two zombie books he published this year.
"On the one hand, we recognize ourselves as the rotting flesh compelled to mindlessly consume," he said. "We take no pleasure in this acquisition for the sake of acquisition."
It's echoed, he said, in the Occupy Wall Street movement's protesting what it views as the powerful 1 percent's manipulation and exploitation of the 99 percent who no longer have free agency.
The decomposing masses also have wormed their way into business jargon with analysts talking about the "zombie economy," "zombie housing market" and "zombie billing." The term zombie is being applied to anything going through the motions relentlessly yet lifelessly and meaninglessly.
"What's new about the current zombie craze is its white-collar shine," writes Torie Bosch in Slate. "It's the existential fear of the economy writ large: 'I sometimes wonder what I would do if I lost everything.' "
Zombies have long figured in folklore worldwide, yet the latest cycle of obsession, Oxford University research suggests, is most evident in the U.S., Europe and Japan.
"Zombies are a first-world problem. They are typically a result of first-world hubris — bio-weapons, nuclear radiation, corporate greed, big pharma, etc.," Jessica DeCou wrote Thursday in Sightings, an online column of the Martin Marty Center at the University of Chicago Divinity School.
Zombie stories, DeCou said, convey a deep sense of meaninglessness and absence of the divine, yet they paradoxically inspire human creativity and playfulness.
And ready or not, Jones warns, the never-resting-in-peace but slow-plodding zombie is getting a makeover in at least one upcoming movie: "The zombies," he says, "will move very fast."

As the ageing population continues to increase, it is important to address ageing-related health issues. There is currently no effective treatments for many common musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders, such as sarcopenia or osteoarthritis, which increase in prevalence during ageing. Cellular senescence is an established common mechanism associated with dysfunction of tissues during ageing. We, and others, have shown the presence of senescent satellite cells, mesenchymal stem cells and chondrocytes and the associated MSK deterioration during ageing. Moreover, depletion of senescent cells in mice leads to improved function of various tissues during ageing. The mechanisms associated with senescence and functional deterioration of MSK tissues with ageing are not fully understood, however it is accepted these are multifactorial, with genetic and epigenetic mechanisms involved.
microRNAs (miRNAs, miRs) are a class of potent non-coding RNAs regulating gene expression post-transcriptionally. miRNA regulate the homeostasis of the MSK tissues and their expression is altered with ageing, however the relevance of these changes is still unknown. We have shown that by regulating miRNA expression in vivo, we can restore the function of MSK tissues, such as muscle. As miRNA expression, and therefore function, responds to changes within the cells and in their surrounding environment, and miRNAs can regulate the expression of many genes/signalling pathways simultaneously, they are likely to be involved in regulating many physiological processes, including senescence and ageing. Moreover, miRNAs are likely to be a part of common mechanisms associated with regulation of senescence in various cells of the MSK tissues.
The overall aims of this project are to (1) identify and model changes in miRNA:target interactions in senescent cells of the MSK system, conserved in humans and mice, during ageing resulting in MSK deterioration, and (2) establish the potential of miRNA-based interventions in restoring the functionality of MSK cells undergoing senescence and therefore in preserving MSK homeostasis and preventing MSK disorders during ageing.
Identify and model the changes in expression of miRNAs and their putative targets in the population of senescent cells in MSK tissues, using senescence, proliferation and cell type-specific markers. Building on preliminary data showing the presence of senescent cells in MSK tissues during ageing, the identity and percentage of senescent cells will be further confirmed using immunostaining.
Validate the anti-senescent potential of miRNA-based interventions in-vivo in age-related loss of homeostasis and function of MSK cells by using miRNA mimics and antagomiRs. Intravenous and intraarticular injections of miRNA mimic/inhibitor will be followed by comprehensive histological and physiological analyses of MSK tissues.
The Institute of Ageing and Chronic Disease is fully committed to promoting gender equality in all activities. In recruitment we emphasize the supportive nature of the working environment and the flexible family support that the University provides. The Institute holds a silver Athena SWAN award in recognition of on-going commitment to ensuring that the Athena SWAN principles are embedded in its activities and strategic initiatives.
The successful applicant will be expected to provide 3 years' funding for tuition fees, bench fees of approximately £10,500 per year and all living expenses. Details of the cost of study can be found on the University website. There is no funding attached to this project.

Hope 4 Change
Cornell Belt
This story is about Cornell Belt. He graduated from the HOPE for Prisoners program 2 and a half years ago. He is grateful for the opportunity to briefly share his story and hopefully inspire each person with hope and a desire to put in the hard work that it takes to succeed.
Cornell was born premature July 18th 1967 at Southern Memorial Hospital, which is now known as U.M.C. Doctors thought he would not make it!! Although his parents were right here in Las Vegas, he was raised by his grandmother and her husband who passed away in 1967 when he was 8 years old.
As far as he can remember, this is when his behavior started to change…..petty theft from 7-11 stores, taking small change out of his grandmother's purse. At a very young age, Cornell saw a man coming out of bank America counting cash; he rode his bike right past him and snatched the money out of his hand. His first experience with the criminal justice system was a lengthy stay at the Spring Mountain Youth Camp. After his release, Cornell's grandmother moved to West Las Vegas and remarried. He started his freshman year at Clark High School and it was there that he was introduced to marijuana and it's fair to say, gang activity as well. At the age of 15 he was arrested for carrying a concealed weapon, a .38 that he had stolen from his grandmother and was sent to Elko for 6 months. It was at that point that his life would spiral out of control for the next 30 years. Cornell went in and out of the Nevada Department of Corrections for years at a time, paroled and sent back, paroled and sent back when finally he was labeled a Habitual Criminal and served his last term of 14 years. He remembers a rookie Corrections Officer from his first trip to prison who was now an Associate Warden at the same prison and he remembers thinking, what am I doing with my life? When Cornell was 40 years old, his grandmother passed away and he was left to care for himself with no job experience, no skills, and a crack cocaine habit that was consuming his life. After serving nearly 30 years in prison, he was completely lost and did not know where to turn. In 2015, while sitting in the City of Las Vegas jail on a pipe charge, someone told him about a place called HOPE for Prisoners. Truly desiring to live a different life but not sure of where to start, Cornell went down to HOPE and enrolled in their program. HOPE for Prisoners did just what their name says, it gave him hope. Jon Ponder was a man who could empathize with his mental condition, who could speak to him in a dialogue that I could relate to because he had lived it. He was now associated with the police, politicians and he was the CEO of this program that was helping people.
This program gave Cornell the Hope he needed to begin the process of change; so he could make the transition into society. Today, he is proud to say that he has been clean and sober for over two years. Cornell is married, raising children, and is a supervisor in a restaurant at a 5-star hotel. He has never held a job for this long and it feels great! Cornell loves supporting himself and supporting his family and has truly made the transformation from someone who was a taker to someone who desires to give back to people. His advice to new graduates today is to have the same patience and tolerance with doing right as you did when you were doing wrong. It takes the same energy to fail as it does to succeed. The amount that you receive from the HOPE for Prisoners program will be exactly the amount that you put in to it…… It is not an easy journey, but wants to let his life be a lesson to everyone that change is truly possible. For anyone.

I'm sure most of you have heard the story of the man who, desperately ill, goes to an analyst and tells the doctor that he has lost his desire to live and that he is seriously considering suicide. The doctor listens to this tale of melancholia and then tells the patient that what he needs is a good belly laugh. He advises the unhappy man to go to the circus that night and spend the evening laughing at Grock, the world's funniest clown. The doctor sums it up, 'After you have seen Grock, I am sure you will be much happier.' The patient rises to his feet, looks sadly at the doctor, turns and ambles to the door. As he starts to leave, the doctor says, 'By the way what is your name?' The man turns and regards the analyst with sorrowful eyes. 'I am Grock.'"
About a month ago I started watching World's Greatest Dad with Robin Williams, but I stopped in the middle because the story was so cringe-inducing. So tonight I watched the rest of the movie. Near the end, Robin has a great line.
"I used to think the worst thing in life was to end up all alone. It's not. The worst thing in life is ending up with people who make you feel all alone."
It's true, isn't it? You can be surrounded by people and feel horribly alone. Especially when those people become less human by developing a reflexive disdain for anything weird.
This is why I was so fond of Robin Williams. He consistently and gloriously embraced being weird and—at the same time—he related to people in a way that acknowledged their fundamental human dignity. That combination was the antidote he carried around, inoculating people against the forces of dehumanization with the glint in his eye.
In the movie, after his epiphany about people who make you feel alone, Robin runs down the hall, eyes alight, grinning and stripping his clothes off to "Under Pressure" and jumps into a swimming pool. Then he befriends his departed son's one actual friend, and together they go to a strange and wonderful neighbor's apartment, and watch Night of The Living Dead, a movie about surviving zombies with aplomb.
I thought back to handing you a "Ross Perot for President" coffee mug. "Ah" you said, "The first Ferengi to ever run for president."
And I saw myself as a young man, lying on the floor listening to A Night at the Met—the final bits about your son, which ended so poignantly and perfectly. At the time I was estranged from my own father, and it made me laugh and cry over and over again.
I thought of you alone in that big house, sitting there in the stillness. Deciding. You're not afraid are ya?
On Inside the Actor's Studio, there was a woman who couldn't stop laughing. This is "a gift" you said. But really, you were the gift. More than a comedian. Or maybe just perfect, and other comedians something less.
How right it feels to have you stir so many thoughts at once.
Back in high school, when I performed standup, drunk and stoned, my friends would try to help me get laid by telling girls in the audience I was your son. Some of them believed it—but they were quick to tell me I wasn't as funny. That was sobering.
I remember you crying when Christopher Reeve rolled onto the stage in his wheelchair at the Academy Awards. I imagine you're together now. Roommates again. Putting on a show in the clouds. Secretly placing a whoopee cushion on God's chair.
You once told Jon Stewart, "You're doing the work that needs to be done." But you were always doing the work that needed to be done, too. I remember standing backstage, watching you hold a bottle of water between your legs, spraying the audience like a cat. "Mine! Mine!" You marked us, and we were yours.
When I was a boy, a child of a single mother, I saw The World According to Garp, and wept when you said, "I never needed a father."
What does T.S stand for again? Oh yeah. Terribly Sad. Too Smart. Thoroughly Shocking. Terrifically Sacrilegious. Torrentially Slaphappy. Torturously Sober. Truthfully Sentimental. Transformatively Sensational.


Parsnips are a great crop for the veg garden. Easy to grow, with a gorgeous sweet taste when cooked properly. They are also one of the few crops that can stay in the soil over winter.
Long-rooted parsnips need good, deeply cultivated, stone-free soils. There are also short varieties that will grow in any reasonable soil.
As parsnips are slow growing, sow a fast catch crop such as radish or lettuce in between the parsnip rows. This also helps to remind you where you planted them!
A popular, full flavoured variety of parsnip with broad shouldered, smooth roots. These seeds are pre-spaced along a fully biodegradable tape to make sowing really quick, easy and neat. The tape also holds moisture around the seeds to improve germination and seedling survival rates.
