Ted Cruz says questions about Mourdock rape comment are 'an unfortunate distraction from the issues that matter'
The abortion issue matters to candidates, except when they'd rather it not.
When U.S. Senate candidate Richard Mourdock of Indiana became the latest Republican to stir controversy with a remark about pregnancy and rape, GOP U.S. Senate nominee Ted Cruz of Texas was asked by reporters to weigh in.
"I think it is an unfortunate distraction from the issues that matter," Cruz said. "People are struggling. People are hurting. They're trying to find a job. And the Obama Democrats, with the help of a lot of folks in the media, are trying to do everything they can to distract from the issue that matters to voters today, which is what agenda will get people working."
Abortion seemed to matter to Cruz a couple of weeks ago when he announced endorsements by leading anti-abortion groups. But it also can be a tough issue, as evidenced by the uproar over Mourdock saying during a debate that "even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen."
Mourdock's comments drew particular attention because they came after Missouri Senate candidate Todd Akin contended that pregnancy could be thwarted by a woman's body in cases of "legitimate rape."
Cruz would allow abortion only in cases in which the mother's life is in jeopardy: "I think that every human life is a precious gift from God and should be protected in law from conception until natural death."
Asked how he'd answer the question Mourdock faced, Cruz said, "I'm not going to engage in hypotheticals. I would note that it seems the media is never asking Democrats what their view is, of say partial-birth abortion … Instead, you see reporters engaging sometimes in 'gotcha' games where they try to get Republicans to make ill-considered comments, and I think that is not serving the people well."
I asked Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Paul Sadler where he stands on partial-birth abortion: "I am not a supporter of partial-birth abortion. Obviously, you have the criteria of the life of the mother being in danger. I would leave that to the medical profession and the woman involved," he said.
Sadler supports women's current right to abortion, saying, "I recognize it's a very emotional issue and very hard issue for a lot of people. What it fundamentally comes down to is: Who is going to make those decisions, and who has the right to control their own body and health? And that lies with the woman." The Democrat also supports requiring parental notice for a minor to have an abortion, with a bypass of that notice for cases like incest.
Sadler, trailing Cruz in polls, was quite willing to talk about the issue. Cruz, intent on staying on message as he looks at a likely victory, turned aside reporters' questions more than once after a campaign appearance here last week.
Asked by a reporter how he made the choice "between those two lives" in allowing abortion to save a woman's life, Cruz said, "I understand that those in the press want to focus on these issues. We're going to focus our campaign where Texans are focused. These questions don't come from voters. They come only from reporters who want to create a story."
For Margaret Justus, a media consultant who was a press secretary to Ann Richards when the late Democratic icon was governor, abortion matters. "Where U.S. Senate candidates (the group who will vote up or down on the next Supreme Court appointees) stand on reproductive rights for women is a very important issue not just to women, but all Americans," she said by email, adding that the issue "impacts women's health and thus the nation's economic future."
For Joe Pojman, executive director of the Texas Alliance for Life, the Mourdock question isn't hard to answer: "We do not support abortions in cases when the child results from a rape. We could no more support taking the life of the unborn child by abortion than we could support taking the life of a newborn child who is the result of rape."
Asked if it's an issue for voters, Pojman said, "Whether it's an issue for this election — I just have not heard it come up. But I think it is on the minds and hearts of many Texans."
Should it be part of the campaign? Pojman, whose group backs Cruz, said, "I'll have to let Mr. Cruz run his own campaign."

Anyways, please check out these two articles with a brief description below. Just so you know, I've used my own summer camping list when I went camping a few weekends ago, and I also used many of these versatile items I mention in the other article. Happy summer travels everyone!
Some items have so many ways that you can wear them that it just makes sense to bring them on your travels. A lot of these have been talked about before; such as the classic little black dress (aka the "LBD") or a scarf. However, there are a few other items that I think work great for summer and would be worth considering to bring on your summer travels.
An overnight hiking and camping trip to a remote destination with lakes, rivers, ponds or beaches just screams summer travels. Some of the best national parks with a waterfront are just waiting to be explored. Hiking trails, star gazing and swimming are on the list for this summer camping checklist!
Adventure is waiting so being prepared for a summer camping expedition is key to having a fun and enjoyable time. We'll be preparing for hot weather, swimming, mosquitoes, sweat and sunburns.


make it perfect: .Sewing for baby: spots.
Another gorgeous and practical zippered romper from Ottobre 6/2012 "Nukkumatti Baby Sleeeper".
And from the latest Ottobre edition 3/2013 - these super cute harem-style baggy pants made using the "Summer Sea Jersey Pants" pattern.
These look like they are going to be a cute, baggy fit with snug waistband and leg cuffs. The leg cuffs can be worn down for long pants or rolled up for 3/4 length so should work well for the size 00 I've made and take the baby into Spring.
I made the coordinating bodysuit from Ottobre Winter 6/2012: "Kisuliini Raglan-Sleeve Bodysuit." I love this grey/green spot print - matches our house too!
Would you believe that I've only got 2 more baby outfits to share and then I've blogged them all! I think that I have well and truly got enough size 000 and 00 clothes now - but that probably won't stop me from sneaking in another outfit or two if I'm still hanging around home for a week or more!
You should make yourself some of these, very comfy for those long winter nights.
Nope, still not sick of seeing all your cute baby clothes!
You totally need to sell these, LOVE the fluro pants & bodysuit - so cute :-) Good luck with the new baby!
I am dying from the cuteness. Absolutely adorable Toni!
Ha! Love Lorraine's comment! Great idea. Do it Toni, you can start a new 'around the house' fashion! Love all the clothes you have made. Super cute!
Oh my goodness such cuteness! I now understand the point in making one piece outfits for babies. I love them. So very fun!


One of the biggest wedding planning dilemmas can arise when you're stuck deciding between two equally talented and amazing vendors who are both available for your big day. It's not the worst problem to have and if you could hire both wedding pros, you would, but you need to make a decision—and soon (it's bad form to leave vendors hanging for weeks on end). Here are some ways to help you break the tie.
Of course, you want your vendor team to be talented and dedicated to making your wedding amazing, but you also want your wedding pros to be people you actually enjoy spending time with. That's why meeting with vendors—in person or at the very least, over Skype, WhatsApp or video chat—is essential. During these meetings, don't only think about how the vendors answer your questions, but also consider how you get along with each of them. Is this a person you genuinely like and trust? Your instincts may be your best guide.
You'll be communicating with your vendors frequently throughout your planning process, so think about how easy or difficult it has been to contact these vendors so far. While it's unrealistic to expect your vendors to get back to you minutes after you reach out, if there's one that takes days to respond, it might be a red flag. Also, think about how your vendors communicate—if you're easier to reach via email, but a particular vendor is not email-savvy, that may be something to consider.
Hopefully, you've already taken the time to look at each vendor's reviews on www.Spacebook.ng. If you're still stumped on which pro to hire, it's time to a closer read of these reviews. A not-so-fantastic review shouldn't be a deal-breaker, but look more for ways that the vendors have gone above and beyond for couples. These reviews can help point you toward the truly special vendors.
Budget is probably an important factor in your decision-making process, but don't automatically discount the vendor whose package costs more. Read each vendor's package details and contracts carefully and make sure you're comparing apples to apples. The vendor whose package seems more expensive may actually be providing more services for the money. And the vendor whose pricing seems low may be providing a bare-bones service that doesn't suit your needs. Make sure you understand what you're actually getting for your money before making a decision.
When you've made a decision, you should obviously let the vendor who you're hiring know right away so you can start the contract process, put down a deposit and reserve the date. But you also need to let the vendor who you won't be hiring know as soon as possible. If the vendor asks why you chose to go with a different pro, be honest but polite. Even though you won't be hiring him or her, the vendor can use your feedback to improve his or her business.
If you're really stumped, you may have to make a list of pros and cons for each vendor. Listing out all of the things you liked and didn't like about a particular vendor may make your decision abundantly clear. When making your pros and cons list, pay close attention to the factors that will affect your guests' experience, not just your own. Show your lists to friends and family members if you need a second (or third, or fourth) opinion.


Google just announced that you can now do two or three column layouts in Google Docs. I think this is one of the questions that I receive most often when I'm working with teachers on using Google apps, so this is a welcome new feature!
When collaborating, how to you avoid having a person working in the left column from pushing down the work of the right column? This does not occur when two people are working on a regular document.
Same is true for bullet points or anything. If you're collaborating you be respectful of where the other person is typing.

The Story – Finishing Strong!
A big Sunday is coming this weekend… It will be a momentous wrap up to what's been an absolutely amazing venture through The Story. Looking back, I can't recall a time in our history when we've had so many people including kids, teens, young adults, couples, singles and seniors meaningfully engaged in God's Word for such a lengthy period of time (31 weeks). Way to go everyone!
Our team has an inspiring service planned… Powerful music and relevant teaching from Pastor Dave will powerfully focus our hearts and minds on heaven. What a topic!!! So, if you're lower story (or the lower story of someone you love) is filled these days with worry, fear, disappointment, sickness, pain, regret, brokenness, or struggle be assured that in Christ hope is always a reality. And that the best is yet to come! This, and so much more, is ours to discover as we dive into week 31 and learn more about what the Bible says regarding "The End of Time".
In addition, we'll be celebrating communion and welcoming the 25 newest members into our Hillside family. How exciting to see our church continue to grow as people of all ages and walks of life take next steps with Jesus and in vital community with us at Hillside.
Friends, that's it for now. I hope you enjoy this nice weekend and that you plan to join us for 1 of our 3 fantastic services at 9am, 11am, and 1pm on Sunday. Exciting times continue!

Left largely unchanged for decades, the average HRS manages thousands of paper health records every day and, as such, instances of missing case notes are common. For this reason, many NHS trusts are turning to healthcare logistics management to improve processes, enhance patient experiences and give tighter control over paper-based records.
Unreliable case note availability poses a direct threat to patient safety – missing notes lead to delayed or cancelled appointments. To mitigate this, trusts engage in the practice of records tracking.
Tracking is the recording of file locations – from secretaries and ward clerks to nursing staff and the HRS – in order to allow trust staff to locate files quickly. Historically, the tracking systems in place have lacked intuitive technology and often, haven't supported the correct audit trails. For example, tracking files outside of the library is traditionally done via a manual check-out procedure which, as a tedious process, is often not performed at all. This has a significant impact on records clerks who are subsequently required to look through piles of records to find a specific patient file, not to mention nursing staff time spent locating files rather than being able to focus on patient care.
The method of filing records within hospital libraries can be cumbersome too. Many libraries use a sequential filing system which means that when files are returned, they must be checked in, pre-sorted and then inserted into their pre-designated place by put-away staff. This process can take an entire day.
Therefore, with significant financial and qualitative risks associated with continuing to operate the HRS in this way, what improvements can be made? Hospitals nationwide are exploring a transition to Electronic Document Management (EDM) in line with the Government's goal of achieving a paperless NHS by 2020.
However, implementing an EDM solution is a big commitment, involving a two to three-year programme that costs in the region of £3 million and generates no savings until fully online. Therefore, whilst full digitalisation may be the ultimate goal for many NHS trusts, this huge investment with little immediate return often makes the project seem impossible for an institution trying to cut costs today.
A key recommendation from the Carter Review for the Department of Health, which details how the NHS can save £5 billion, is that trusts should "aim to work in collaboration both with national procurement strategies and other trusts to explore common systems adoption, e.g. efficient electronic catalogues using retail system standards and adopting GS1".
Supporting this approach, iFIT™ (Intelligent File and Inventory Tracking) is Idox Health's healthcare logistics management platform designed for hospitals. It is a process management tool that also utilises RFID technology to provide a breadcrumb trail for item movement, supporting a suite of pre-built automated processes specific to the management of hospital assets and health records. It is also currently the only application fully compliant with all GS1 keys as mandated by the National Health Service Executive.
Case notes are tagged with a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag that carries a unique GS1 compliant number. RFID sensors on the premises then record which items were at that sensor location at that specific time. In areas not covered by fixed sensors, objects can be found and tracked to other locations using hand-held devices which work in a similar way to metal detectors.
HRS overheads have subsequently been dramatically reduced following rollout of iFIT™ technology, by: minimising the amount of time staff spend tracking, searching for and re-filing notes; eliminating pre-sorting with the introduction of Location-Based Filing; and releasing floor space in line with the recommendations of the Carter Review. In addition, an organisation pursuing a full EDM strategy can rely on iFIT™ to provide a full inventory of active and inactive case notes, identifying all – both physical and electronic – records and their current location.
Whilst iFIT™ is not a replacement for digitisation, it delivers significant efficiency savings by helping a trust identify which case notes should be scanned. These immediate savings enable trusts to create the necessary headroom in their budgets to implement EDM cost-effectively.
Good logistics management drives tangible business benefits for a hospital.
Recently, Barking, Havering and Redbridge NHS Trust presented the results of their implementation of iFIT™. They reported achieving 85% of their business case in five months, with specific areas achieving a fivefold increase in efficiency. They were able to successfully reduce department overheads by automating labour-intensive processes, generating between 30% and 40% staff savings, as well as undertake statutory reporting, improve estate-wide tracking capabilities, release 20% of library space, and significantly reduce staff time engaged in filing and search activities. They also outlined additional benefits such as improved staff morale and reporting capabilities driving visibility and performance.
To date, iFIT™ is currently tracking more than 13 million live healthcare records across 12 sites.
Medical records management is just one example of healthcare logistics management. As a multi-purpose platform, iFIT™ has also been implemented to manage mobile hospital assets and is being further expanded to track pathology specimens, pharmaceuticals, supplies and hospital staff.

Centro Forestal es una localidad argentina ubicada en el Departamento Palpalá de la Provincia de Jujuy. Se encuentra a 1 kilómetro de la Ruta Provincial 56 y el río Grande de Jujuy, y a 15 km al este de San Salvador de Jujuy.

La villa tuvo su origen como un centro para la provisión de carbón vegetal para los Altos Hornos Zapla, llegando a contar con pileta, cine y una variedad de servicios. Para la elaboración del carbón se utilizaba una forestación de 15 mil kilómetros cuadrados de eucalipto. Tras la privatización de AHZ durante los años '90, la localidad fue decayendo. Actualmente su población trabaja principalmente en Palpalá y San Salvador, más algunos emprendimientos agrícolas. En el acceso al pueblo hay una escuela agrotécnica. En general el pueblo presentaba un aspecto de decadencia con muchas casas abandonadas y escasos servicios y hasta problemas con la provisión de agua potable. Está prevista la edificación de un plan de 50 nuevas viviendas por parte del municipio y la pavimentación del camino de acceso por parte de la provincia. En 2014 se inició la construcción de la Casa Educativa Terapéutica de SEDRONAR (Secretaría de Programación para la Prevención de la Drogadicción y la Lucha contra el Narcotráfico, dependiente de Presidencia de la Nación), construida conjuntamente con el Ministerio de Planificación Federal y la Municipalidad de Palpalá. Dicha obra, inaugurada el 7 de abril de 2015, implicó para el poblado la recuperación total del cine, el gimnasio, la pileta y el reciclado de la antigua confitería que se convirtió en la CET. Además durante 2014 y 2015 se proveyó de fibra óptica para conectividad digital y cordón cuneta a todo el pueblo. De esta manera, Centro Forestal ha recuperado protagonismo provincial y regional.

Here are just a few of the many driving and circle tours you can enjoy, using Williams Lake as your departure point. Contact us if you would like more information, or suggestions for other adventures.
The Old Gold Rush Trail.
From Williams Lake drive 14kms south to 150 Mile House. At 150 Mile House turn onto the Horsefly/Likely Road, after a short while you will reach a large map sign on the right that will direct you to turn left towards Likely. Just before Likely turn onto the Ditch Road. This gravel road is alongside Quesnel Lake which is the Deepest Lake in BC. Near the end of the lake it becomes Mitchell Bay Road and you can follow it towards Horsefly. From Williams Lake to Horsefly you are driving on a paved road again. After driving 51kms turn right on Hwy 97 and head back to Williams Lake. Sights you will see along the way include the Bullion Pit, Salmon Spawning Channels, and Quesnel Forks. In September, the Horsefly River is teeming with spawning salmon, and the viewing is great!
Bring your gold pan and try your luck at gold panning along the way. From Williams Lake drive south for 14kms to 150 Mile House, turn left (east) onto the Horsefly/Likely road. After driving approximately 5-10 minutes, turn left onto the Likely Road. Follow the Gold Rush signs to the community. Right before the community you will cross a bridge, after crossing the bridge you will drive straight on the road in front of you, it will eventually turn in to a gravel road. After driving approximately 10-15 minutes, you will come to a "Y" in the road, turn right and go up a hill; this is the Cariboo Lake Road. Make sure Cariboo Lake is on your left side (8400 Rd). You will travel past Cariboo Lake, Cariboo River Provincial Park, Maeford Lake and Ghost Lake Falls. Continue onto Barkerville and Wells, watching for road signs there are forks in the road. From Barkerville to Quesnel it is 86kms, paved the whole way. Once in Quesnel take Hwy 97 south for 120kms to Williams Lake. Prior to going, please contact the Visitor Centre for road conditions and a map!
This short tour passes three of Williams Lake's most popular camping spots is about 2 hrs long. Drive 2.5kms on Hwy 20 and turn left onto Dog Creek Road. Continue on Dog Creek Road for about 13kms and take a left onto Chimney Lake Road. This road will take you past Brunson, Felker, and Chimney Lake. Chimney Lake Road is paved for about 25kms and turns into rough gravel near the end of Chimney Lake. After driving about 10kms on the gravel, turn left onto Enterprise Road. Follow Enterprise Road for about 15kms until you reach Hwy 97 South. Turn left on Hwy 97 South and you're about 35kms from Williams Lake.
A BC Road Map is recommended and a Highway 20 information sheet would be helpful. Ask for a BC Ferries Discovery Coast Passage schedule for dates and times. Drive 456kms west of Williams Lake to Bella Coola on Hwy 20. At Bella Coola you board the Queen of Chilliwack which will take you to Port Hardy on Vancouver Island. Once on the Island there are many options for travel. The scenery is amazing!

Lepage's Cards - intercultural devising and technology
Well into the second week of our tour of Consumed, and I'm sitting in the Rich Mix, during the fit-up for tonight's show. So far it's been a fabulous journey, with terrific reviews and an ecstatic response from the audience. On Tuesday night we were in Leeds, with an audience largely composed of Chinese speakers. It was fascinating to sense the show changing because of the languages spoken in the auditorium.
Last night was a night off, so I went to see Tony Guilfoyle, who was so central to the devising of Consumed, in the Robert Lepage production Cards at the Roundhouse. Tony was fascinating as ever, playing a former gambler, whose life is collapsing around him. It's probably the strongest storyline in a mesh of different plots characteristic of Lepage. Tony's presence in the play, plus it's multilingualism, its use of technology (less so than in some recent Lepage shows) inevitably invites comparison with our own work - though in many ways it couldn't be more different.
It seems to me that Robert is increasingly interested in form, rather than necessarily working from content. His interview in the programme is almost entirely about the challenges of working in the round, and what impresses about the production is its staging. Tony showed me the rabbit warren under the stage afterwards - the technicians race around on little trolleys, and move the revolve lying on their backs. The actors pop up from under the stage - emphasising the verticality of the circular space.
For us too, form was very much a start point: Consumed is in many ways a response to new technologies, and I wanted to express that through a multimedia form that enabled us to dialogue with the technology. Multilingualism was also a formal start point (necessitated by the casting), which also came to be part of the meaning. I tend to feel that's the key in this kind of work - form and content operating in close dialogue with one another. Our theatrical decisions coming to reveal meaning.

EP Review | Worm | Bluenothing
January 3, 2023 Tim Harbour Album Review, Black Metal, Death Metal, Doom Metal, Dungeon Synth, EP Review, Metal, Metal Review, New Release, Sludge Metal, Webzine Leave a comment
The sound of faint bells whispers on the breeze as you slowly make your way along the barely trodden path, lining the frosty crevice. As you gaze down into its hidden depths, the sound of entrancing, veiled melodies dances upon cold drafts of air that exhale out of the frigid gash in the mountainside. As your eyes drift you notice a crudely crafted stair making its way down the nearest side of the opening. Although something warns you not to follow, you somehow are drawn by the dark sounds encased deep within these ancient walls. Grabbing your torch, you carefully make your way down into the inky blackness. As you descend all colour disappears, all except blue, a blue so dark that it may as well be black. And yet you can feel no fear, so you descend further, and further, into the blue nothing.
This EP spoke to me on so many levels, as may be evident by my dramatic narrative opening. When a record such as this conjures up so many images and feelings I feel I have no option but to express my thoughts in prose, even if none of you wants that.
Worm started as a one-man band from Florida, USA. It was started by Phantom Slaughter who up until 2016 recorded everything in the band. On the band's 2017 and 2018 album Phantom Slaughter was joined by Equimanthorn who seems to have taken on the role of bassist and drummer. In 2021, on the band's most acclaimed record to date, Foreverglade, the band added Nihilistic Manifesto to the lineup who took on lead guitar and additional guitar duties, Equimanthorn moved on to playing only additional synths and Phantom Slaughter took back playing bass and the majority of synths. The drums on that album were played by session artist L. Dusk. The newest EP Bluenothing Phantom Slaughter continues to play the guitar, bass, and synths and performs vocals while new face, Wroth Septentrion, joins in on guitars and I quote "necromantic shred". Nihilistic Manifesto returns to play some guitars on the track "Shadowside Kingdom". L. Dusk returns to play session drums while a few other sessions add parts to other tracks.
I mainly wrote that for myself as I was trying to track the intricate member changes across the year's Worm has existed. Hopefully, all my info is correct as I had to do some jumping between various sources to find it but corrections are welcome. So while it is clear Phantom Slaughter is the main driving force behind the band there have been many musicians contributing to this mammoth of a band over the years.
So now, to talk about the EP in question. Bluenothing is nothing short of a masterpiece in my eyes. The short recording is a complex interweaving of black, death, and doom metal all in various doses and mixtures. The one thing that really sold me on this album is the absolutely crotch-melting solos that feature prominently throughout. I am a guitar nerd and good guitar solos always get me going but to have all these elements so amazingly constructed within one record is my dream. Overall the album is bleak in tone, but there are moments of absolution within that darkness but don't expect too many. The production on the album is perfect for this style of music, generally, the textures are murky and all blend into a big wall of sound. All except for the lead guitar which is crisp and cuts through the mix but surprisingly doesn't stand much as much in contrast to the washed-out rhythm tones. The mastering does not seem to use excess amounts of compression giving the music a natural quality. I also really love the huge reverb on the drums.
The first two tracks of the album are actually tracks recorded for their previous full-length Foreverglade but were left off the record. These tracks have since had lead guitar added by Wroth Septentrion which explains the higher fidelity of the guitar lead on these tracks. It by no means takes away from the music but now the tonal difference makes more sense. The third track on the album is a brief interlude track, a dungeon synth-style piece with some super amazing guitar shredding. Although I call it an interlude I listen to this track every time because the lead is just so boss. The final track 'Shadowside Kingdom' takes a slightly different approach and is more symphonic black metal than anything. The band proclaims that it is "simply one of the best symphonic Black Metal tracks since the style's late 90's apex" and although I do like this track, I would consider this statement a bold one. The track has a slightly different production quality, as expected since it was recorded recently unlike the first two but doesn't stand out as a completely different band.
The first track is the album's namesake and begins with the sound of bells and wind; sorrowful guitar melodies float borne on a bed of reverb. This sense of limbo is soon abated as the rest of the instruments enter dramatically, the sound dense, the mood morose. This start is pretty much straight-up funeral doom however the guitars that come next blow everything out of the water. The lead is just the absolute best, and gives the music a level of epicness that is unprecedented; the scale run at 1:28 gets me every time. Just before the vocals enter it sounds like the mix behind the lead distorts (or maybe just the floor tom) but I only noticed that after many listens, so it is not too audible and the guitar solo hides it well. The solo is short but not too short as to be a tease, and opens the way for the vocals. The first exclamation is pained, the sound of which hangs in the air as the reverb slowly carries it away. The reverbs on this album are generally awesome. The vocals then alternate between a cookie-monster growl and a high-pitched black metal snarl. The keys layering an aura of mystery into the soundscape. Bells are heard again as the music shifts gears with accents and drum fills take centerstage. We then move into a dirty death metal groove with some mystifying lead melodies blending with the unhinged vocals. The keys add a lot to the overall texture of the music. They are a little cheesy in their own way but for some reason, it does not take away from the serious atmosphere of the music, at least not for me.
From four minutes the pass picks up briefly before returning to more cosmic death metal riffs. This part is psychedelic yet terrifying, like a night terror combined with psilocybin and cough syrup. At 5:10 we return to my favourite section of the song. Long sustained chords that seem to sound from a misty cliffside across the ocean. It's so sad, yet so beautiful. These sections always cause a feeling of nostalgia to well up in my throat. Although very different in many other ways the mood reminds me of the band Warning just for the level of despair encased within the sound. The distant vocals are a cry of despair that wafts up from a sulfurous vent in the ground, the cry of a human or a devil. All this culminates in yet another great guitar solo.
At 7:04 the texture drops out completely leaving the sound of wind and clean guitar. Faint whispers can be heard before the band launches into a humongously epic riff followed by, you guessed it, another epic solo. The song then returns to one of the earlier death metal-style riffs and when the lead kicks in you instantly know that this guy's floor is clean as fuck because his sweeping is off the charts. The song dips in texture again before returning to more funeral doom but this time we get some clean chanting in the background. The whole sound is perfect. This song as a whole just hits every note for me, I can't get enough.
Track two is a bit shorter, well, almost half the length. "Centuries of Ooze II" begins with ominous church organs before we dive once again into "the most depressing things you have ever heard volume 2" (trademarked by the way). The track in many ways is more of the same. I say this often in my reviews but it means different things depending on the album. In this case, when "the same thing", is "the best thing ever" then it's a good thing. Although I do love a good progressive album that shifts between sounds when an act hits the spot like this I can't help but want more of that. My favourite part of the track is from 4:27 when everything drops out and we get this killer doomy riff. This riff slowly builds, adding layers, and the lead harmonies that eventually build on top are so compelling. We are then hit with some more great clean vocals and a subtle layer of acoustic guitar can be heard as the song closes out.
Track 3, "Invoking the Dragonmoon" is a track I love but it's hard to describe it as anything but dungeon synth with guitar solos. Unlike a lot of shorter filler songs on albums and EPs, I end up listening to this every time, though I understand that it might not be everyone's vibe.
The final track is one of the newest recordings by the band. It immediately has a higher fidelity sound than the first two tracks. The intro is acoustic with synths and wind sounds, it is dark and alluring, particularly the 'vocal' synth patch. The vocals that enter are similar to the chanted clean vocals heard throughout the album, a distant yet warm sound. This song does not have any doom to it, it's pretty much straight-up symphonic black metal as the band states. Although aesthetically it is different from the other songs the mood is consistent. At 2:49 we get some awesome acoustic guitar shred before launching into what might be the first blast beat of the EP. How refreshing it is to write that. Unfortunately, that is the last positive thing I will write about this song. Although nothing is wrong with it and in fact I enjoy the track, it is not that unique. It feels less unique than the other songs on the album, fitting neatly into the symphonic black metal mould rather than feeling uniquely Worm. Probably not the best track of its type I have ever heard.
With that said I still highly rate this EP, I think everyone should listen to it. I am very excited to dive into Foreverglade which was the band's previous full-length and look forward to any future releases from the band.

Here are some tips for potted tomatoes.
1. Give them room. Most slicing tomatoes need a 5-gallon pot, though you can find cherry tomato plants that will do well in hanging baskets. Some varieties are specially bred to stay small enough for a tight container ('Micro Tom' is just 7 or 8 inches high). Make sure the container has drainage holes.
2. Use good soil. In pots as in the ground, tomatoes need well-drained soil with lots of organic matter. Gensch likes to add a little bit of lime to provide extra calcium (which helps prevent blossom end rot). Put a couple inches of gravel in the bottom to stabilize the pot, because when the fruit sets the plant will be top-heavy. And add stakes or a tomato cage for support when you plant.
3. Plant deep. Leave only the top two or three sets of leaves above the soil line. The part of the stem that is buried will sprout roots that help support and strengthen the plant.
4. Fertilize properly. Choose a fertilizer that is not heavy on nitrogen (which fosters leaves at the expense of flowers and fruit). Phosphorus (for roots) and potassium (for blooms) are more important. Whether the fertilizer is organic or not, the guaranteed analysis of major elements on the label should be even, such as 3-3-3, or higher on the last two numbers, such as 4-6-5.
5. Water regularly. Tomatoes need consistent moisture; swinging between extremes of wet and dry can do them in. Be prepared to water daily. Gensch says water-holding gels (sold in crystal form and mixed in the soil) are especially good for rooftop tomatoes.

New mural celebrates pets and the joy they bring
Lisa Filiatrault, left, and Gayle Primeau pose in front of the latest downtown mural, which went up at Pawfect Pet Grooming on John Street.
The first mural of 2021 has gone up in Sturgeon Falls, building on last year's efforts to turn the downtown into a showcase for local artists, spurred on by organizer Gayle Primeau. January 26, a mural painted by Lise Filiatrault of Pawfect Pet Grooming went up on her own shopfront on John Street. Filiatrault took up the challenge a few months ago and combined her love of animals with a clear message to the public: our pets make us better people.
She said her two-panel mural was inspired by her clients, both human and animal. "I always like to keep memories of my clients. I put pictures up, but I wanted to keep memories of paw prints. I have it out there so everyone could see it. I realized how it was bringing everyone closer." The painting, with a black background resembling a chalkboard, features the paw prints of Filiatrault's various clients, accompanied by their names. The viewer must get up close to read the names, making the installation a kind of interactive piece. The paw prints and names are enclosed in a long white continuous ribbon drawing various scenes of people with their pets, framing the contents.
Filiatrault said, "I'm not really good at making 3D paintings, and wanted something that would mean something. The continued line shows how everyone is connected." Inside is a drawing of a hand meeting a paw captioned with the phrase "When I needed your hand you gave me your paw". Filiatrault reflected, "I have a lot of seniors [as clients] and their dog brings them outside and [keeps them] socialized and out of depression. The title of the mural is Pawprints to My Heart."
All the paw prints placed on the canvas are from actual clients, and are done in light-reflective paints. "When lit, it glows in the dark," described the artist. "I wanted it to be more original so I'm going to add UV lights at night so it will glow in the dark, so when you feel lonely you will always find that paw." From a distance one might not even realize you are looking at paw prints; they are almost like little flowers on a field of black. Filiatrault feels that her human clients will come by to see it, and it will cheer their hearts.

Rick Perry Sets His Sights On Florida
Posted on Wednesday, August 17th, 2011 at 3:23 am.
Written by DigitalTeam
Smart move by Team Perry since Florida's electorate will be in the spotlight this fall and will be the most important for the eventual GOP presidential nominee throughout the campaign (both in the primary and the general election). If Rick Perry has a strong showing in the Presidency Five straw poll, the race for the Republican nomination could quickly become a two-man contest between himself and Rick Perry, since Michele Bachmann has indicated that she will skip the event. Adam C. Smith of the St. Petersburg Times has more:
The Republican presidential race suddenly looks like a three-person battle between Texas Gov. Perry, Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. But as the focus of the contest soon shifts to Florida, Perry and Bachmann are invisible in the state while Romney has an expansive political network still in place since his campaign here four years ago.
Grass-roots activists and veteran political consultants say they see no sign of Bachmann trying to organize a campaign in Florida, though on Aug. 27 she plans to attend a tea party rally in The Villages and then a Florida Family Policy Council dinner in Orlando. And the campaign told the St. Petersburg Times on Tuesday night that it has no plans to compete in a mock election planned by the state GOP next month.
It's a different story with Perry, who formally jumped in the race Saturday.
Perry campaign officials are talking to some of the top Republican strategists, including former George W. Bush Florida 2004 chief Brett Doster and the Tallahassee team of Randy Enwright, Jim Rimes and Rich Heffley. The late entry into the contest has also contacted many of the state's top money-raisers and found some keen interest.
State GOP leaders are aiming to make Florida the fifth state in the nominating contest – after Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina – but Florida will be in the spotlight in September.

I'm inspired by your work. I've wandered around so much in search of something I wasn't sure of sometime back then. Now I'm finding out that I'm not actually loosing my mind, it's just hard to keep an open mind once your vibration and sensitivity hits the high. It takes time to figure it out, no matter how still you stand, you still aren't still enough. Life should be serene for you rn haha. Love the feeling of that. Perhaps we be friends?
❤❤ thank you so much! I'm always down for a new friend. Welcome! I am so glad you are here.

Q: WPF - Fill collection in an other thread Im getting an error message when i try this:
Task.Factory
    .StartNew(() => _model.GetItems(node).Select(n => n))
    .ContinueWith(t =>
    {
        if (t.Result != null)
        {
            ObservableCollection<ItemValue> children = new ObservableCollection<ItemValue>(t.Result);
            //fill some control
        }
    }, TaskScheduler.FromCurrentSynchronizationContext());

Error

Must create dependencysource on same thread as the dependencyobject

But if i try this code:
Task.Factory
    .StartNew(() => _model.GetItems(node).Select(n => n))
    .ContinueWith(t =>
    {
        if (t.Result != null)
        {
            ObservableCollection<ItemValue> children = _model.GetItems(node);
            //fill some control
        }
    }, TaskScheduler.FromCurrentSynchronizationContext());

It's ok, no errors.
What am I doing wrong?
I want to fill collection in an other thread.

A: To force thread to change properties of UI elements that were created in other threads, you must use Dispatcher property of any UI element:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.threading.dispatcherobject.dispatcher(v=vs.110).aspx
You can write simply:
Task.Factory.StartNew(async () =>
                {
                    ObservableCollection<ItemValue> children = new ObservableCollection<ItemValue>(await _model.Dispatcher.InvokeAsync<IEnumerable<ItemValue>>(() => _model.GetItems(node)));
                    // fill some control
                });

MASSIVE VOODOO: Nova Open 2015 - Special Figure: Kill. Humans.
we hope you all had a great weekend full of relaxation and of course with some happy painting time.
We had in form of two intense days of happy painting with a full studios as Peter and Andi were joining the local monkey gang in Augsburg.
Today Massive Voodoo starts the week with one of Roman's recent paintjobs.
The miniature was the special figure on the last Nova Open 2015. A very cool duel of a human, obviously fighting for his life against a machine robot thingy. The concept of the robot is from Nova's last year event posters and the duel comes in - let's remember - three or four pieces. The wall and the base, it's all included. Roman build it up out of the box and painted it for joy to give it away in the Charity Lottery of this years Nova Open 2016.
The figures are actually rather small. In case you need an idea on how small: The head of the human is 50% the size of a casual Space Marine head.
Roman had his issues finding a good name for the duel and decided to go a simple way for this issue. What is the Robot's program? Right. Kill. Humans.
There are 4 Kommentare for Nova Open 2015 - Special Figure: Kill. Humans.
I reeeeally like the hightlights on the robot - so shiny!
Stoopid hoomans. Robot Zab approves.

Q: Flutter BetterPlayer stops playing when scrolling down I have seen a similiar topic with the same problem Better Player Starts again and again when ever i go scroll down, but the solution doesn't work for me.
This is my code:
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: appBar(),
      body: SafeArea(
        child: SingleChildScrollView(
          child: Column(
            children: [
              header(),
              body(),
            ],
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );
}

The header() contains the video and the body() contains the text (which can be long). By scrolling down, the video will stop and I don't want that.
I have also tried to use a ListView instead of a SingleChildScrollView, but the behavior is the same.
The video is loaded this way:
Widget header()
{
    BetterPlayerDataSource betterPlayerDataSource = BetterPlayerDataSource(
      BetterPlayerDataSourceType.NETWORK,
      widget.banner.file.url,
    );
    betterPlayerController = new BetterPlayerController(
      BetterPlayerConfiguration(
        autoPlay: true,
        fit: BoxFit.cover,
        controlsConfiguration: BetterPlayerControlsConfiguration(
          enableOverflowMenu: false,
          enableSkips: false,
        ),
        autoDispose: false,
      ),
      betterPlayerDataSource: betterPlayerDataSource,
    );

    return Hero(
      tag: 'banner-' + widget.banner.id.toString(),
      child: Container(
        width: double.infinity,
        height: 300,
        padding: EdgeInsets.only(bottom: 15),
        child: AspectRatio(
          aspectRatio: 4 / 3,
          child: BetterPlayer(
            controller: betterPlayerController,
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );
}

A: Solved.
Digging into the BetterPlayer code (I'm using an old version of 0.3.3), the plugin was pausing automatically the video if the visibility of the player was zero during the scroll.
To solve it, two things must be rectified.
1 - Apply a configuration that states that if the visibility of player is none, do nothing (no pause)
betterPlayerController = new BetterPlayerController(
  BetterPlayerConfiguration(
    playerVisibilityChangedBehavior: (double visibility) {
        // do nothing
    },
  ),
);

2 - When disposing the plugin, must pause first, otherwise since we say "do nothing if no visibility" it will continue to play the video
@override
void dispose() {
    if (betterPlayerController != null) {
      betterPlayerController.pause();
      betterPlayerController.dispose();
    }
    super.dispose();
}


Magdalo partylist Rep. Gary Alejano branded as preposterous Department of Foreign Affairs Secretary Alan Peter Cayetano's remark that the European Parliament crossed the red line in criticizing the drug war.
Malacañang has cautioned the Catholic Church against providing sanctuary to cops who claim to have knowledge on drug-related killings under the administration, saying they might be used by entities out to sabotage the drug war.
A rights group won't give up easily taxi driver Tomas Bagcal as it intends to use him to condemn the drug war of President Rodrigo Duterte.
President Rodrigo Duterte urged the public Wednesday (Jan. 25) "not to cry too much" for people who become collateral damage in his administration's war on drugs because the police are just doing their duty.

Growthpoint to bid for Capital & Regional despite Brexit risks
Sees opportunities in UK retail real estate.

With many UK real estate investment trusts (Reits) trading at historic discounts to net asset values (NAVs), Growthpoint Properties believes this is the right time to buy assets in the country despite ongoing uncertainty around Brexit.
Growthpoint Group CEO Norbert Sasse shared this insight during a results media briefing in Johannesburg on Wednesday, following UK-based shopping centre Reit Capital & Regional's announcement that Growthpoint is set to make an offer for the group.

"I am restricted in terms of what I can say right now and cannot mention anything specific about the proposed deal due to UK takeover panel rules," he said. "However, Capital & Regional has named us in their announcement confirming that a transaction is on the cards for Growthpoint to become a majority shareholder in the group."
Growthpoint has until October 9 to make an official or firm offer for Capital & Regional, which at the end of its half-year to June 30 had a predominantly retail portfolio in the UK valued at £797 million (around R14.4 billion). Capital & Regional's share price surged some 10% in the UK on Wednesday, valuing the company at around £132 million (R2.4 billion).
South African property investment heavyweight Louis Norval, who co-founded Attfund and is on the board of JSE-listed Reit Hyprop, is a key existing shareholder in Capital & Regional. Norval holds around a fifth of the UK fund, which also has a secondary listing on the JSE.
Capital & Regional's share price on the JSE alone has fallen almost 75% over the last three years as the UK's Brexit woes and growth in online shopping hit retail property counters in the country.
Sasse says the planned bid for Capital & Regional is part of Growthpoint's "internationalisation strategy" as it is constantly looking for new opportunities offshore. Growthpoint has R139 billion in property assets and investments, with some 30% of this invested offshore in Growthpoint Properties Australia (Goz) and via London-listed Globalworth Investment Holdings (GWI), which owns properties in Poland and Romania.

"The UK is intriguing for us," says Sasse.
"UK retail assets are being marked down by the market.
"We have taken a view that there are opportunities in a section of the market around community-focused retail centres targeting non-discretionary spend. Essentially, dominant shopping centres between 25 000m2 and 90 000m2 that are located on commuter routes and are doing well, and which we find attractive."
Read: Investec Property Fund pumps a further R442m into the UK
"When we looked at opportunities in UK retail property, Capital & Regional's portfolio had many of these elements," he adds. "Yes, there are political concerns in the UK around Brexit, but the UK is still the fifth largest economy in the world. At the end of the day, we are taking a long-term view and believe there are higher yielding property opportunities in the UK."
Sasse says that when Growthpoint invested in Australia about 10 years ago the property index there "collapsed" some 80%. "It was the right time to invest. We believe similar dynamics are at play now in the UK, with many property stocks trading at between 50% and up to 80% below [their] NAVs."
Sasse would not be drawn into commenting on how Growthpoint's current loan-to-value ratio (LTV), currently sitting at 35.1%, would be impacted by a possible takeover of Capital & Regional.
"We can't get into those details until an offer is made," he says. "But we are looking at a partial cash offer and subscribing for new shares in Capital & Regional through raising capital to shore up its balance sheet."
Takeover target 'pleased'
Responding to Moneyweb's queries, Capital & Regional CEO Lawrence Hutchings said the company is "pleased" to announce that it is in discussions with Growthpoint about "a potential strategic investment" into Capital & Regional.
"Growthpoint is a well-respected, long term investor which shares our view of the merits of a community-led 'needs' retail offering and shopping centres that have strong positions within their catchment areas. We look forward to progressing our discussions with the Growthpoint team."
Read: Exclusive: Growthpoint's ambitious Sandton Summit plan
Hutchings notes that the announcement comes as the company posted "positive" operational results for its half-year to the end of June, which showed "high occupancy, resilient income metrics and a strong leasing performance".
Capital & Regional nevertheless declared a £55.4 million loss for the period, primarily related to a decline in property valuations.
According to the group, the devaluations were driven by negative sentiment towards retail assets as well as certain retailers going into company voluntary arrangement (CVA) administration in the UK. Capital & Regional's board decided to defer an interim dividend until Growthpoint's bid discussions have been concluded.
Keillen Ndlovu, Stanlib's head of listed property funds, says Growthpoint's moves on Capital & Regional come as a surprise.
"I guess they are looking for further growth opportunities and diversification out of SA," he says.
"Perhaps Growthpoint has 'priced in' Brexit and the negative impact of online shopping as well as CVAs in the UK. Capital & Regional's share price has fallen significantly due to these challenges in the UK. Growthpoint may be looking to take advantage of this."
Capital & Regional on the JSE: buy low, they say …
