when the gales of November come early ( kishmet) wrote,
when the gales of November come early
Request fic! (Plus some other, unimportant drivel)
After watching Prince of Tennis episode 176 (the second part of Fuji and Tezuka's match), I have a question about a particular translation. My DVDs don't always have the best, most accurate subtitles, which I know even from my (extremely) rudimentary knowledge of spoken Japanese.
So I wanted to ask those of you who have the fansubbed versions (or those of you who know Japanese), what exactly does Ryuzaki-sensei say when she compares Fuji and Tezuka? In my version, she flat-out says that Fuji plays tennis for selfless reasons (for Yuuta, during his match with Mizuki, and for Tachibana during his match with Kirihara), while about Tezuka, she says (quote): "He cares only about himself and about victory. He's Fuji's exact opposite." I want to know if Fuji's selflessness (when it comes to tennis) and Tezuka's contrasting selfishness are stated as bluntly in the fansubbed version as they are in my subtitles, and if the actual Japanese says as much.
I also can't go without saying that this is possibly one of the gayest episodes of anything ever, though oddly, I almost like the Tezuka/Fuji implications better when they're slightly more understated. Despite their reputation as one of the "married" couples at Seigaku, I only saw hints up until this episode, whereas Tezuka/Ryoma asserts itself pretty blatantly throughout the series. Am I just reading the signals differently than everyone else…?
Either way, I kind of want to write some Tezuka/Fuji now, along with some Tezuka/Ryoma. Ooh. Maybe I'll just write more Tezuka/Ryoma/Fuji instead.
I was watching the US Open today with my mother and my brother, and my brother had this to say this afternoon: Pillar Stealer vs. Pong Man. I both love and hate the Open.
Anyway. Fic! :D
Perceptions, by kishmet. From moonlightstarfi's request: Tezuka/Ryoma/Fuji Prompt: Stars. I love Power Triangle so much right now. ♥♥♥
"It's warm tonight," said Ryoma. "I don't need a blanket."
"But I brought one big enough to share." Fuji draped it around Tezuka and Ryoma, who were sitting on the ground beside each other. "See?" He sat down next to Tezuka too, bringing the end of the blanket around his own shoulders.
"Fine," Ryoma said, moving in closer even though the blanket was big enough for them to be farther apart. He rested his head on Tezuka's shoulder. "I guess it's okay."
They were all silent for a minute or so, and then Fuji asked, "What do the two of you see in the stars?" When Ryoma and Tezuka both looked at him, he smiled. "It's a game I used to play with my brother. We looked to see what shapes we thought the stars made."
"Probably you just used it to psychoanalyze him," Ryoma muttered, but he glanced up anyway. "Those ones right there look like a racket."
"Hm, show me." Fuji raised his head to look where Ryoma pointed.
"There," said Ryoma.
"Oh yes, I see the tennis racket there, and there's the net. The player there-" Fuji reached up a hand to trace the outline. "-is about to serve. See the ball? He's just tossed it into the air. He's going to win, of course. The other player isn't even ready to return it, see there?" He pointed, and then chuckled. "The stars love tennis nearly as much as you do."
Tezuka sighed and shook his head, glancing at Fuji. "It's never easy to tell when you're being serious."
"I'm always serious with you. Aren't I, Ryoma?" Fuji leaned forward to smile at Ryoma around Tezuka.
"No you're not," said Ryoma bluntly, still leaning on Tezuka's shoulder and looking at the sky.
"Most of the time?" Fuji asked.
"Almost never," said Ryoma.
"Well then, what do the two of you see?" Fuji leaned against Tezuka's other shoulder, shifting comfortably when Tezuka's arm settled around him.
Tezuka nodded at the sky ahead of them. "Orion," he said. "The three stars aligned there, and the four stars around them. And the ones above him are Taurus and the Pleiades."
Fuji laughed, and Ryoma said, "Those are the real constellations, buchou. Those don't count."
Tezuka looked down at him. "No?"
"No," said Ryoma. "Not for psychoanalyzing, anyway." He took Tezuka's hand in his own and pointed both of them up at the sky. "There is a net there, but the other player is ready. See? He's just shorter than the other one. He's going to win, though," he added.
"He shouldn't be so sure of himself," said Fuji. "The first player looks determined, doesn't he?"
"No," said Ryoma, bringing his and Tezuka's hands down and flashing a smirk at Fuji. "He looks like he never takes anything seriously."
"He takes things seriously when he wants to," said Tezuka.
"He doesn't often want to," Fuji mused. "But there are some things that can make him reconsider."
"Hm." Ryoma grinned and snuggled against Tezuka's arm. "What things?"
"Oh…" Fuji gazed upward. Then he smiled over at both of them. "Stars."
Tutelage, by kishmet. From knw's request: Atobe/Ryoma Homework. I so badly wanted another excuse to write more AtoRyo. *___*
"This is hardly the way I'm accustomed to doing my work." Atobe sat on the edge of Ryoma's bed, giving the entire room a disparaging glance. Karupin hopped onto the bed and stepped onto Atobe's leg. "Generally I have access to the finest resources and the finest tutors, not to mention…" he grimaced and moved his leg. Karupin moved with it. "I am less accessible to felines."
"Just because you need tutors doesn't mean that I do," said Ryoma, never looking up from the paper.
Atobe snorted. "It also doesn't mean you don't need them, brat." He picked Karupin off his lap and put him on the floor. Karupin promptly jumped back onto the bed and climbed into Atobe's lap again.
"I can tell who's king here," Ryoma observed, glancing over and smirking.
"Most of my tutors teach subjects that aren't necessarily available at school," Atobe said, ignoring Ryoma's comment. He relented and stroked Karupin, who purred and curled up, nuzzling his face into Atobe's leg. "Latin, for instance."
"They don't teach that at school because it's useless," said Ryoma. "No one speaks Latin anymore."
"That's true," said Atobe. "Only those who are extremely cultured bother to learn. Although in America, even the money is printed with Latin phrases."
"I know that," Ryoma said, tapping his pencil irritably. "E pluribus unum doesn't count. Half the people there don't know what it means."
"What does it mean?" Atobe inquired, with a satisfied smile. "Don't tell me you're one of the half that doesn't know. I can't imagine that even you would allow yourself to lack such knowledge."
"Che." Ryoma held up the piece of paper, on which was written, in English, One made out of many. "I know what it means."
"Then you agree that Latin is not entirely useless."
"I guess it's not, if you go around reading money in America," said Ryoma, putting the piece of paper back on the desk. "You look like one of those evil millionaires with a cat."
"I'm sure that's the reason I've never bought a cat of my own," said Atobe dryly. "I would hate to be mistake for a villain in some low-class movie that no one with any sense would bother seeing."
"I bet all of them have tutors, too," said Ryoma, then closed his notebook and got to his feet. He picked Karupin up and set him on the ground, eliciting a disgruntled meow from the cat. "About time-" Atobe began.
Then Ryoma took Karupin's place on Atobe's lap, straddling him, and kissed him, lacing his arms around Atobe's neck. He leaned forward, pushing Atobe back until both of them were lying on the bed, Ryoma on top.
"With all those tutors and your servants or whatever around, we can't do this," Ryoma murmured smugly, breaking the kiss. "But we could still go to your house, if you want."
Atobe considered for no more than a moment before giving Ryoma a smirk of his own. "No," he said. "I think I'll be able to work without the tutors this time."

"EXCLUSIVE" IS ALIVE & WELL
The compelling experience of writing this column is disagreeable, irksome, distressing. It deals with what is so repulsive – a growing exclusivity within church parishes regarding matters of perceived "social justice" – sadly far too ubiquitous around this nation, and in Richmond, VA. Willful blindness prevails.
It concerns a RTD column written by Todd Culbertson (RICHMOND SEEKS TRUTH & RECONCILIATION- March 31, 2017), the senior editor, editorials at The Times Dispatch, which, in my mind, flirted with mendacity; Culbertson is member of St. Stephens Episcopal Church, Richmond, VA.
This recent column on the documentary film, "13th, was judgmental, reeking of sentimental absolutes. His column did not do Culbertson, or his fellow- St. Stephens Episcopal Church congregates, any favors.
This less-than-objective film about American racism was presented at the "appropriately named Fellowship Hall" with reconciliation intent. He apparently views the documentary next to the Holy Grail of movie making. "The movie", he wrote, "depicts the historical truth that is necessary for reconciliation." No reconciliation found here in his column.
Let's be clear: Editor Culbertson is a savvy word-guy, with both the talent and honor to compose any piece he pleases for his Richmond Times Dispatch. Yet, in one broad brush, he characterized (unacceptably, I might add) over half of his fellow congregates as non-Pilgrims – no doubt a negative.
In his view, only those members of St. Stephens Episcopal Church, who attended the show were to be accorded "Pilgrim" status. His reasoning: those of us who didn't choose to view the church's screening of "13th, were somehow either insensitive, or unconstructed Richmonders.
Rev. Robert Dibble, with moderate voice, recently shared an almost forgotten television interview by the distinguished CBS journalist, Edward R. Murrow – held at the home of Carl Sandburg, leading poet, in the mountains of North Carolina back in 1954: "Mr. Sandburg, what is the ugliest word in the English language?"
With characteristic playfulness and drama, the wise poet pondered the question at length, seemingly searching for an appropriate answer. With a quizzical expression on his face, he mused, "The ugliest word? The ugliest word? He finally replied: The ugliest word in the English language is: EXCLUSIVE.
Editor Culbertson went very, very exclusive describing his non-attendees – categorizing us in the worse kind of reverse-racism manner. In my mind, it wobbled between unfair and unacceptable. He goes so far as to equate this film with church liturgy, the Stations of the Cross – all reinforcing faith.
Having a rather extensive friendship with Todd over many years – even his neighbor now for a decade, this writer is not unmindful of his propensity for writing, discoursing, on church/social issues – sharing his perceived view of overt Richmond cultural racism. I have been on the receiving end more than once on his grievances with Southerners –particular Republicans….both Commonwealth and national.
"The Americans who needed exposure to "13's" verities stayed home. Angry white males who believe Barack Obama was the worse president and person since the previous moderate Democrat have no interest in exposing themselves reality. Really !
About the film, The 13th: Reviewers split themselves on politically ideological lines; some endorsed, others questioned – many see "13th" as a product of a disastrously confused time. Ava Du Vernay's (director) nonfiction film interprets the Constitution's 13th Amendment, which officially abolished slavery. Then she shifts to an extended, jumbled alarum about what's called the Prison Industrial Complex (PIC). The film ignores the W.E.B. DuBois concern – Black American Uplift – for the currently fashionable appeal of "protest," a term that patronizing news media always preface with "peaceful" – sanctioning it as synonymous with uplift.
Armond White, writer, provocative film critic – in his October 5, 2016 review nails it: "The film rolls through history, drawing quick, superficial parallels between recent racial events (Ferguson, Baltimore) and past civil-rights milestone." In other words,the more we can mix the original, genuine, justifiable civil rights protest, with the more recent hooligans (try Baltimore as an example), the more legitimate the hooliganism will be accepted. Thus, Du Vernay's contrived message: Nothing has changed."
Reflecting on last month's Culbertson's column, this writer, plus many congregates, stand aggrieved. Sadly, nothing has change with the continuous left-wing "round em up" mentality….either at St. Stephens Episcopal Church, or in the column of an old-time friend and neighbor.
Exclusivity is alive and well at the corner of Grove Ave. and Three Chopt Road. The Culbertson column wants it that way. And this writer is angrier than seven rattlesnakes in a gunny sack on a July day.

According to John Steinbeck Timshell is the most important word. Meaning free will as described in a passage from East of Eden.
You have your share of Timshell. The question is: Is there really such a thing as free will.
Faith is a loaded word and may be the most dangerous word?

Thanks, R.L. for taking the time to read this Wallace column. I grew upon Faulkner, Hemmingway Dos Passos, and of course, Steinbeck. With Steinbeck, I bit early on Of Mice & Men, and grew into East of Eden, which, I believe, was his best. Glad to be viewed has having my share of Timshell.

Thanks! Hope to get a bit more done on it this weekend.
Got a new mechanic working on the engine today. New bench too.
Thanks. It might be scarlet fever.
Testing. Here's the first rough coat.
Thanks! Now to finish the wheels so I can get to work on painting the body.
A bit more progress. Got some primer on the body. Waiting for it to warm up so I can paint. Version 6 of the mirror bracket seems to be workable so I'll whip up some PTEG ones when I get a part for my 3D printer tomorrow.
Got a couple of coats of Tamiya semi-gloss black paint on this afternoon. Beats a day at work anytime, and I like my job. Here's a sneak peak. Got some plans for some stickers as well.

Live Review: The Jezabels – 5th March 2014 – O2 Shepherds Bush Empire, London, UK
Renowned For Sound Contributor
With almost no clouds in the sky and daytime temperatures reaching upwards of twenty degrees in London, Wednesday evening's uplifting performances by The Jezabels and Champs could not have come at a better time. A large sold-out crowd eagerly gathered for entrance to the O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire for an elated night of music, and although queues were long and security checks for the most part were relentless, they remained happy and steadfast, determined to celebrate the unofficial first day of spring by enjoying what they loved: music.
Opening the show was Champs, a band consisting of two brothers from the Isle of Wight and a few of their friends. Their sound was diverse, organic and full of life. Vocals and guitars drenched in reverb painted the image of a foggy morning or a sunny lazy summer afternoon. This soundscape was occasionally inhabited with melancholic chords held on an electric organ, suggesting the long day's transformation to a purple twilight. Throughout the set, brothers Michael and David remained stoic, reflective and peaceful, inviting all the members of the audience to remain ensnared in Champs' warm and happy glow. Unfortunately, this aura was short-lived – Champs played for only about a half hour. As a group, their sound was incredibly nuanced and it should be exciting to hear where their newfound success and journeys take them.
As Champs emptied the stage, the audience began to grow in anticipation as a very talented soundman began to set up the instruments for The Jezabels. He banged the drums loud, played a few chords on the electric piano, tested reverb out on a shiny Les Paul guitar, and incessantly shouted "Hey! Hey! Hey! Whoa-WOOOOOO!" on the PA system, each time eliciting an ecstatic response from the crowd. It quickly became apparent that the theatre was now packed. There was no room to move on the floor, and hordes of smiling people were standing in the first balcony due to a lack of seats. As the lights dimmed, the crowd condensed and shrieked in unison. At first, all that could be seen was darkness, but then a banner reading "THE JEZABELS" glowed red, floodlights pulsated in sync with rumbling bass, and amidst the shadows walked out the four members, all clad in black to a triumphant symphony of applause.
Starting off their set with the self-titled opener from their newest album The Brink, The Jezabels performance began with a boom. 80's-style synths rang heavy, diagonal guitar lines echoed nonstop across the stage, drum beats pounded the heart out of the audience, while singer Hayley Mary circumnavigated the stage like a provocative, courageous meerkat dressed in red lipstick and black leather. Keyboardist Heather Shannon with long blonde hair blocking her face and a cool, indifferent demeanor resembled the late Brian Jones. Sideburn-clad drummer Nik Kaloper played with the intensity and precision of a steam engine, whilst guitarist Samuel Lockwood remained stationed to the right of Mary, and through his omnipresent, cyclical guitar lines contrasted with the kinesthetic unpredictability of Mary. Further in the set, during the performance of Long Highway, Mary sang "You rip apart the clouds in all my days", and adopted the dancing contortion of a snake, as if to extend her into the past searching for a lost love. The rest of the band followed suit, and accompanied her throughout many a story of love and heartbreak.
Throughout the performance, The Jezabels made one thing clear—they are not just a radio band. They are a loud band. They create a wall of sound that echoes back to the pop aesthetic of the 1980's. Almost always, all the instruments played simultaneously. Lockwood's guitar almost always accompanied the melodies of Mary. This sonic bombardment ensured that the audience had no choice to retreat, but remained attached and emotionally linked throughout the entire performance. Whenever the drums ceased or reduced in prominence, without missing a beat the crowd would quickly fill in with clapping.
However, the audience exploded into nothing short of ecstatic reverie during the consecutive performances of The End and Dark Storm, ending the band's first set. Never have gloomy, love songs with uncertain outcomes ever been performed with such life and underlying happiness. Perhaps this is why the crowd gathered on this day—to celebrate love and happiness in the face of simultaneous suffering. Regardless, The Jezabels proved this night they are an exciting new band full of challenging love songs, enjoyed by a dedicated fan base. To the future of both the band and to their fans, it must be said: the sky is the limit.

MLK Day is a federal holiday. It is a day set aside to remember the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King. It's a day that has been met with resistance since it was proposed as a holiday in 1968. It took until 2000 for the holiday to be recognized as a federal holiday by every state in America. Utah is the last state to accept it.
Churches have been even slower to acknowledge MLK Day as a holiday worth mentioning during Sunday gatherings. Many churches in America that recognize Independence Day, Veterans Day, Memorial Day, Thanksgiving, Valentines Day and Halloween have failed to recognize this federal holiday that was established to help us remember that all men are created equal. Perhaps many clergies don't recognize the opportunity MLK weekend creates for sharing the gospel or perhaps it's deemed a holiday for only black churches to celebrate. Whatever the reason, not taking time out to significantly honor the memory of Dr. King is a missed opportunity. Here are 4 reasons clergy should make significant space in the weekend programming for remembering Dr. King.
1. Dr. King was a pastor.
MLK Day is a federal holiday that pauses the Nation to remember a man of the cloth and the work he did. People of all ethnicities, creeds, religions, and beliefs remember a Christian pastor's message to America that all human beings are God's children and equal. Every year black and non-black clergy have the opportunity to reaffirm that message and the pastor who preached it. Dr. King is in the great cloud of witnesses watching us who are still here carrying the message of liberation and freedom forward. He is a brother to ever faith leader who sacrifices, leads and gives of themselves for their congregants.
2. It deeply matters to the black people attending your church.
In multi-cultural or predominantly white congregations black people are often sacrificing the cultural experiences of their communities in order to belong to such churches. There are a number of reasons black folks chose not to attend a "black church" such as proximity, relationships, seeking more structured programming or teaching style. Whatever the reason they chose to attend churches where they are the minority, they are still aware each and every week that they are the minority. Hearing the lead pastor affirm the importance of equality from the stage can go a long way toward making black folks feel like they belong.
3. The work is not done.
I don't think I need to tell anyone reading this that reconciliation is an ongoing issue. There is still so much work to be done for us to truly be reconciled to one another. Racism is pervasive and difficult to recognize because of its pervasiveness. The more we take time as communities of faith to wrestle with principles of inclusion and unity, the more we will see areas we need to repent, change and grow. Serious work takes serious time to do. MLK Day is a natural opportunity to stand on the shoulders of people who have gone before us in that work. We can take a fresh look at the sermons preached by Dr. King and evaluate ourselves to see how well we're doing at loving our neighbor as we love ourselves.
4. Jesus preached the same message.
If you read about Jesus from the gospel writer Luke's perspective you will find a significant emphasis put on the liberation of the poor and oppressed people of the world. From Mary's Song, Jesus reading of Isaiah in Luke 4, to the Sermon on the Mount, you find a message of good news to the poor and oppressed. The work of the Messiah was to liberate the people of Israel from the things that held them captive. We tend to reduce this message to merely spiritual concerns in our Western reading of scripture, but for the people living during the time of Jesus and the people reading his story in the first century, the expectation was that there would be physical liberation as well. Luke records Jesus saying "blessed are the hungry for they will be filled". Luke doesn't write "Hunger and thirst for righteousness" as Matthew does. He also doesn't record Jesus saying "in spirit" after Jesus says "blessed are the poor".
Jesus was concerned with social issues that affected human beings on earth not just in heaven. It's that message that Dr. King picked up and preached to us over 50 years ago. When a preacher examines the words of Dr. King and shares them with their congregation, they are not sharing a message that is other than the gospel but announcing that the Kingdom of God is indeed here and now.
For some of you that have done videos, slides, or special songs in the past, I'd challenge you to consider taking a step further and devoting all or part of your sermon to sharing something significant about Dr. King.
Having worked for several larger churches I know that most times teaching calendars and sermon series are planned months in advance. If you're a part of a church leadership team that hasn't planned for MLK weekend, I understand it can be difficult to pivot last minute. To those of you wrestling with that tension after reading this, I'll offer two suggestions.
Plan for it next year. Add MLK Day to your teaching calendar so that you don't miss the opportunity again.
Consider pivoting this week. Chances are you've pivoted before with less notice. Your team survived and you likely didn't regret making the last minute change.

Territorio de Zaguates, an animal rescue organization in Costa Rica, was having trouble finding forever homes for their mixed breed dogs - 94% of their dogs in their organization.
So they had an innovative idea: if people are more likely to adopt when they know the breed of the dog, why don't we create unique one of a kind breeds? With the tagline, "when you adopt a mutt, you adopt a unique breed," Costa Rica now has one-of-a-kind breeds, like Fire-tailed Border Cocker, Shaggy Shepherd Dachspaniel, and Marbled English Filamaraner.
With the help of National TV, social media, and billboard advertising, adoptions for these mutts skyrocketed! In 45 days of their campaign, Territorio de Zaguates adoption rate grew by 1400%, their mutts obtained $457,000 of PR value, and their Facebook page received 510,484 interactions. As well, 100% of the shelters expenses are now covered by sponsors.
Dognition are thrilled with Territorio de Zaguates success in finding so many homeless dogs permanent, loving families. They also believe that all dogs have a unique genius, which is why they have paired up with Petfinder to create the Dognition/Petfinder Adoption Program.
They are now working with adoption organizations to assist in placing more dogs in their 'forever homes' by helping to shine a light on what makes each dog special. In particular, they hope to help place the dogs that are commonly overlooked in the adoption process. They plan on rolling out their Adoption Program to more shelters in the near future.

As our baby's first birthday was fast approaching, we were deciding on the best way to mark this beautiful milestone. We agreed to plan a family day out. After all, our families aren't around to celebrate with us, so it would be a pretty small birthday party. Considering that she is fascinated by animals like most babies are, we wanted to take her to a zoo or something similar. After looking into the options near our home, we decided to visit Yorkshire Wildlife Park. We've not been there before, so we thought it was a great time to pay this place a visit.
There is a huge free parking area, so I don't think you would ever struggle to find a parking space. Having said that, the park wasn't particularly busy when we visited last Friday, so I don't really know how busy they get over the weekend or during school holidays.
The price for an adult is £17 (£1 discount when you book online), children under 2 go for free, and there are different prices for seniors, students, disabled people and children, so check their website to find the correct price for your planned visit.
The opening times are 10am-6pm during the summer season. I wanted to arrive early to make sure we have enough time to see all the animals and make the most of our visit. But as any parent with a small child knows, everything takes twice as long with them, so by the time we left our home, it was almost 12 pm. We arrived at the park at 1 pm, which I thought was late. However, four hours we spent there was about the right time to see the whole park with a baby. She was becoming a bit restless towards the end, even though she had a short nap while in there.
What was really striking about the whole experience is how much space the animals in the park had. This park is not like a zoo, where the enclosures are very cramped. It's clear to see that the animals are well looked after here and their welfare is a top priority.
That being said, there is also a disadvantage to this, as you can imagine. If the animals are not in a mood for any kind of social interaction, you may only see them from a distance. Our little one also had a problem seeing them if they were too far. Lions and tigers seemed especially comfortable and relaxed while enjoying their afternoon siesta away from the spotlight.
There is even the opportunity to walk through the lemur woods and wallaby enclosure. This is what our little one seemed to enjoy the most. And it wasn't just our baby who was fascinated with the 'mini kangaroos'. The parents were even more excited about these little creatures, they were oh so adorable.
The park area was very tidy and clean, almost spotless, very well kept indeed. Toilets and baby changing facilities easy to find around the park, again maintained to the highest standard. You can also get around with a pram easily. There are some viewpoints to see the animals from a higher level, which was an added bonus for me.
Bringing along your kids? Great, you can rest assured, there are some fantastic play areas in the park, outdoor and indoor. So, when the weather turns bad during your visit, there are activities that will keep your little ones entertained for quite some time in the Monkey Playhouse. It's a shame that our daughter was too small to play in most of the child play zones. There is a massive wooden play facility outside with huge slides. I'm sure she would have a blast there if she was older, as it looked enticing even for me.
Are you feeling hungry? No worries. There is a number of food stations including coffee houses and snacks kiosk. We wanted to try Caramba, a South American cuisine outlet, but, unfortunately, it was closed. It looked really lovely outside, with separated picnic-like tables that had a straw roof above. We stopped there for a short break and took shelter from a light drizzle.
When our baby fell asleep, we headed over to Safari Cafe, both of us having a burger, which was reasonably priced at £10 and a generous portion too.
Want to bring your own food to save some money? No problem. There are designated picnic areas throughout the park, where you can take a break and enjoy a bite of your own food.
Overall, it's been a lovely day, for both parents and the baby, filled with fun and laughter. Huge variety of animals (over 70 different species), great kids facilities, cleanliness of the whole park, all make it for a great family day out and we will certainly be back, once our little one is a bit older, so she too can fully appreciate the beauty of this park.
Have you been to Yorkshire Wildlife Park? Are you planning to go? I would love to hear your experience.


This episode, taped early, on Monday, June 22nd, takes an unusual look back into 2014 for our featured album. It is one that Mason and I both had ranked as the runner up for album of the year, and both complimented for its stellar songwriter and powerful vocals. Evergrey's Hymns For the Broken was hailed by many fans as a huge return to glory for the band, and the album has seen a big push of promotion in response. Several videos have already been released, and now, 6+ months later, they have a new video out which can be viewed at the bottom of this post.
In more current release news, or correctly speaking, in forthcoming release news, Iron Maiden has set a release date of September 4th for their album The Book of Souls. You can read the band's full press release here.


If you're shopping for a genuine seven-seat SUV, it's worth reiterating just how limited your options are. The Audi Q7 is arguably still up to the task with its own three-metre wheelbase and is substantially cheaper than the GL in entry-level V6 diesel form.
But it's long in the tooth now and is dynamically inferior to the new Mercedes. The Land Rover Discovery isn't – quite the opposite – and a GL 350 budget buys you a top-line HSE Luxury model, but its standard back row is for children only. Ditto the optional third row that can be added to the new Range Rover Sport.
Considering its kerb weight, the GL 350 measures up well on projected running costs.
We didn't get close to Mercedes' quoted 35.3mpg combined economy figure – we saw 33.2mpg on our touring run and 27.6mpg overall – but, using it as a comparative figure, it's not an unfeasible distance behind the 39.2mpg declared for the Q7 or the 38.7mpg claimed for the TDV6 Range Rover Sport.
The Audi – in relatively benign 201bhp form – is the class leader on CO2 emissions at 189g/km (compared with 194g/km from the Range Rover and 209g/km for the GL), but as this equates only to a marginal extra increase in the GL's annual VED rate, it's unlikely to sway a potential Mercedes customer.


Aradhana was established in the year 2017. They deliver premium quality tasty food products all over Karnataka. Aaradhana Team approached us to create the website, branding and digital marketing.
Since there were many premium players on selling dry fruits around, the challenge was to show Aaradhana in a Unique way. We wanted Aaradhana to be noticed especially when comparing with its competitors.
As they were the startups, starting from their legal registration, making registration for food license, creating a logo, Aaradhana website and digital marketing, we handled all the works because of which they were able to concentrate on their business.

Q: How can i use case alias in a select query In SQL how may I use case alias in a select query the one in question is a count, for example you will see below the select alias is set with as but i can not use the alias in the rest of the select query. Using MySQL.
The line in question below is:
(win / total) * 100 as win_percent
    DECLARE @team TEXT;
    SET @team = "myTeam";
    SELECT
        @team team,
        COUNT(CASE WHEN home = @team then 1 ELSE NULL END) as home,
        COUNT(CASE WHEN away = @team then 1 ELSE NULL END) as away,
        COUNT(CASE WHEN (away = @team or home = @team) then 1 ELSE NULL END) as total,
        COUNT(CASE WHEN winner = @team and (home = @team or away = @team)  then 1 ELSE NULL END) as win,
        COUNT(CASE WHEN (home = @team or away = @team) and (winner <> @team and winner <> "0") then 1 ELSE NULL END) as lost,
        COUNT(CASE WHEN winner = "0" and (home = @team or away = @team) then 1 ELSE NULL END) as tie,
        (869 / 1928) * 100 as win_percent,
        (win / total) * 100 as win_percent
    from matches;

A: You can create a subquery and have that final win_percent in the outermost query. The query should look like this:
SELECT a.*,
    (win / total) * 100 as win_percent
FROM (
SELECT
        @team team,
        COUNT(CASE WHEN home = @team then 1 ELSE NULL END) as home,
        COUNT(CASE WHEN away = @team then 1 ELSE NULL END) as away,
        COUNT(CASE WHEN (away = @team or home = @team) then 1 ELSE NULL END) as total,
        COUNT(CASE WHEN winner = @team and (home = @team or away = @team)  then 1 ELSE NULL END) as win,
        COUNT(CASE WHEN (home = @team or away = @team) and (winner <> @team and winner <> "0") then 1 ELSE NULL END) as lost,
        COUNT(CASE WHEN winner = "0" and (home = @team or away = @team) then 1 ELSE NULL END) as tie,
        (869 / 1928) * 100 as win_percent
    from matches
) AS a

A: I would suggest simplifying your query, using the convenient MySQL extension that treats boolean values as numbers, with 1 for true and 0 for false:
SELECT @team team,
       SUM(home = @team) as home,
       SUM(away = @team) as away,
       SUM(@team IN (away, home))) as total,
       SUM(winner = @team and @team IN (away, home)) as win,
       SUM(winner <> @team and winner <> 0 and @team IN (away, home)) as lost,
       SUM(winner = '0' and @team IN (away, home)) as tie,
       (869 / 1928) * 100 as win_percent,
       AVG(CASE WHEN @team IN (away, home) THEN winner = @team END) as win_percent

Two MP retirements in region opens door for rookies

No matter what political party comes to power after the upcoming federal election, residents in the ridings of Chatham-Kent Leamington and Lambton-Kent-Middlesex will have a new representative in Ottawa.
The departure of longtime Conservative MPs Dave Van Kesteren (Chatham-Kent Leamington) and Bev Shipley (Lambton-Kent-Middlesex) means two rookies will be elected when area residents go to the polls on Oct. 21.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau visited the Governor General Wednesday morning to dissolve parliament, officially marking the start of the federal election campaign.
But does this level the playing field for all of the candidates running in these ridings?
"Open seats are open seats," said Lydia Miljan, an associate professor of political science at the University of Windsor, "but a lot depends on who people can recruit to run in the incumbent's seat and also for the other contenders.
"The incumbent party still has a little bit of an advantage because they tend to have the most robust ground game and their lists are probably better."
She added that party likely had a more competitive nomination as well.
"When you have that kind of interest, people perceive it's not necessarily a safe seat, but it's not as insurmountable as if you going against, say, a cabinet minister," Miljan said.
Leamington farmer Dave Epp won the Conservative nomination in Chatham-Kent-Leamington last November in a close contest with three other challengers.
He is sure to face a strong challenge from Liberal candidate Katie Omstead, who was acclaimed in December 2018. She gave Van Kesteren a run for his money in the 2015 election, finishing a close second.
Tony Walsh, who was also acclaimed in late August, is the NDP candidate for a second time. He finished a distant third in the last election.
Rounding out the race in Chatham-Kent Leamington is Green Party candidate Mark Vercouteren, who finished last in the 2015 campaign, and People's Party of Canada candidate John Balagtas.
Lianne Rood won the Conservative nomination for Lambton-Kent-Middlesex in a tightly contested race in late March.
There is a whole new slate of candidates for the other political parties running in the riding that spans three counties, including Jesse McCormick (Liberal), Dylan McLay (NDP), Anthony Li (Green Party), who also ran in the last year's provincial election, and Bria Atkins (People's Part of Canada).
When it comes to running in large ridings, Miljan said having a good ground game is critical.
"You have to have a really good, strong cadre of volunteers – people working the phones, people door knocking on your behalf in those big ridings," she said.
It's also beneficial for candidates who had an earlier nomination, she said, adding those who spent the summer doing the legwork to prepare for the election have a bit of an upper hand.
"There is nothing that compares with that personal contact in having the candidate come to the door and talk to people. That makes a huge difference in a lot of elections," Miljan said.
Another factor is the impact party leaders can have on elections in local ridings, particularly if a leader gets caught up in a scandal or some kind of controversy.
When it comes to the SNC Lavalin affair involving former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould, Miljan said the ethics violation is "squarely on (Prime Minster Justin) Trudeau."
But, she added, this issue is likely to be more top of mind in Wilson-Raybould's riding than the Chatham area.
However, when it comes to the same sex and abortion issues, Miljan described them as "dog-whistle tactics that the Liberals are putting on to put the Conservatives on the spot."
It's not just Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer who's being targeted, she said, adding the Liberals are "essentially making it fair game for other challengers in those ridings to put it on the ballot in a sense."
Miljan said abortion and same sex marriage seem to be issues that are resonating with the public, based on some news coverage she's observed.
"Those kind of messages have come through where people perceive that to be the case. So, it's just the allegation alone (that) can taint a campaign," she said.
