Its hard work being a foal. First off, after you are born, you dont even get a meal until you stand. Those legs you have to stand on can be nearly 90% the size of those on a full grown horse. You need those big legs because every day they have to support the additional two to three pounds youve added everyday. Then, of course, one has play. Its a big beautiful world youve been born into and, heck, they dont call it horsin around for nothing. Spring is in the air. There are the other colts and fillies to impress, food to eat, mares to trot beside, more food, dirt to roll in, maybe a snack, bugs everywhere, more food and so on. Every now and then it does one good to drop down into the closest patch of green grass and spring blossoms and grab a little siesta. After all, its hard work being a foal.
Bev Doolittles "Spring Break" is her first Greenwich Workshop Fine Art Edition Giclée on Paper. As a SmallWorks, its accessible size and price make it the perfect gift for that special Doolittle collector or horse lover.
Bev Doolittle
Bev Doolittles phenomenal success has been a by-product of her desire to work hard at what she loves to do most create art with meaning. My love for nature, as well as mans relationship with it, is the driving force behind all of my artwork. Painting is a growth process. By giving each of my pursuits my best effort, and by learning from my mistakes, doors have opened for me that I could not have anticipated. For Bev, one of those doors was with The Greenwich Workshop, who produced her first limited edition print, Pintos, in 1979. It sold out at the publisher within weeks. I am not a prolific painter, Bev explains. My art style prevents that. Reproducing my painting in print was the perfect answer. I was able to concentrate on my most important ideas while still having my work represented in galleries around North America as well as abroad. My relationship with The Workshop and its extended family of artists, galleries and their customers has been a joy for me for more than twenty-five years. Nearly all of Bevs prints have been sell-outs and five books of her art have been released. Her first, The Art of Bev Doolittle, is truly a phenomenon, having sold over half-million copies of its hardback edition. Her second book, New Magic, continues the story of her painting career. She has since released three childrens books. The Forest Has Eyes was a hit with readers, both young and old. It was followed by Reading the Wild. Her illustrated novel for young readers, The Earth is My Mother includes dozens of drawings and paintings, four of which were released in print. Her desire to try new mediums as well as her fascination with sculpture, led to the creation of five limited edition porcelain boxes, each featuring one of her most popular paintings. In 2004, after a five year hiatus, Bev returned to the print art in the form of original, hand-pulled, stone lithographs. With some editions set at fewer than 20 pieces, these original prints are already rare. Bevs work reflects her love of horses, passion for the natural world and her affinity for the Native Americans spiritual relationship to the land. Her work can also be found on calendars, journals and note cards. Bev and her husband, Jay, both graduates of the Art Center College of Design, began married life as art directors for an advertising agency in Los Angeles. Five year of living in the city made them more aware of what they were missing: the outdoors and creating their own art. We hoarded our savings and struck out on our own, living out of our camper for a year. Calling ourselves, Traveling Artists, we painted our way through the western United States, western Canada and Baja, California. It was a tremendous grown period for me. I not only developed my painting skills, but I discovered that I possessed enough self-discipline to paint every day. Afterward, they displayed their work in malls and outdoor art venues. Yes, we were starving artists for awhile! admits Bev with a grin, But, we were so happy doing what we loved. Life is full of hard choices and the path of the artist is no different. My advice to aspiring artists is simple: paint what you know, paint what you love and always paint for yourself! For me, success followed my passion. Passion is what drives me. Bev, Jay and their son Jayson live close to nature in the California high desert. Joshua Tree National Park is their backyard.

Ericsson: Status Quo Is Not an Option For the Future
STOCKHOLM—Looking into Ericsson's crystal ball, consumers in the year 2020 will embrace higher definition, multiple screens and interactivity with a heavy emphasis on social media. The company's latest consumer experience research, part of its "Media Vision 2020" campaign, states that users six years from now will expect TV, film and gaming experiences to be integrated, accessible and tailored to their interests, devices and personal situations.
"Today, television isn't delivered predominantly over IP but on RF-based platforms," said Simon Frost, head of TV Marketing at Ericsson. "But the future challenge and opportunity will be because of the emergence of IP. We're already seeing that with Netflix and OTT services. This research is designed to help our customers build their strategies around the issues and challenges that they face."
Leveraging hundreds of its own people in various divisions (Consumer, Business and Technology) from around the world and customer feedback, the Ericsson Media Vision 2020 project spotlights the company's strategic vision of how the TV and media landscape will evolve in the future. Ericsson uses the phrase "Game Changers" to define what it calls the six most influential factors, in a series of white papers, that are driving the industry migration to multi-screen video consumption—based on interconnected business, consumer and technology fundamentals.
The first look at the six Game Changers, entitled "Forever Evolving Experience," is a white paper that can now be downloaded here.
The paper paints a picture of how the consumer generation of 2020 will expect to access media from one central viewing point (the living room TV), as well as from their myriad of portable devices, both in the home and on the go. Next-generation television will enhance the viewing experience at home while a new generation of applications will improve the consumer experience on the small screen.
Ericsson said the paper also looks at the broadening definition of the consumer "experience" in a world no longer dominated by select major players. A variety of competitive IP-enabled devices have emerged and more will continue to erode the exclusivity now enjoyed by established media organizations. The information could help shape the future for device manufacturers, social networks and app ecosystems.
What's clear is that the expectations of viewers in 2020 must be met in order to run a successful media delivery business. It all starts with addressing and improving the consumer TV experience.
"Forever Evolving Experience" is the first study in six-part series of Ericsson Game Changers, which form the company's vision for TV and media in 2020. Internet Protocol video delivery is certainly part of that future, but it not the only part.
"IP will accelerate the shift in consumption habits," Frost said. "We predict in an advanced market like North America, a 50-50 balance between time spent on demand and time shift. Live and linear delivery will never go away. While IP will become extremely important as a delivery mechanism in the home, and will make up the entire delivery ecosystem outside the home. It's clear that there will continue to be other RF methods (satellite, terrestrial, cable) employed as well."
As consumers drive change and place demands on the technology and business models of the media industry, Ericsson's Forever Evolving Experience Game Changer highlights specific impacts that enable content owners, broadcasters, TV service providers, network owners and advertisers to succeed on the road to 2020.
Forth-coming "Game Changer" white papers that will become available throughout the year include: "The IP Imperative;" "Brandcasting" (advertising shifts); "Changing consumption Models And Bundles" (due in August-September); "Cloud and Web Approaches to TV;" and "New Money, New Players."

Internet stocks were moving in the opposite direction of blue chips and technology stocks in midday trading Friday thanks to better-than-expected earnings and analyst moves.
At 11:45 a.m. Eastern, internet.com's Internet Stock Index had gained 1.92, or .20 percent, to 947.07, the Nasdaq Composite had lost 13.43 to 4,535.49 and the Dow Jones industrial average had shed 99.59 to 10,414.98.
Major indices were falling despite a report from the government that U.S. consumer prices climbed at a lower rate than expected in January. Clothing prices, which posted their sharpest decline in 11 years, offset higher costs for heating oil, gasoline and tobacco. The consumer price index climbed 0.2 percent last month while the core rate, which excludes food and energy costs, also posted a 0.2 rise.
Sector leaders were mostly in positive territory, including Ariba Inc. (ARBA) was up 8-9/32 to 234-15/32, Broadcom Corp. (BRCM) had climbed 3-3/16 to 193-1/2, Checkpoint Software (CHKP) was up 5-3/4 to 195-3/4, CNET Inc. (CNET) had jumped 5-1/16 to 65-7/8 and Juniper Networks (JNPR) had vaulted 23-1/2 to 264-3/4.
Other strong gainers included Network Solutions Inc. (NSOL), gaining 8-3/8 to 312 and Verisign Inc. (VRSN) up 4-31/32 to 228.
Inktomi Corp. (INKT) was up 5-1/8 to 126-1/4. Dain Rauscher Wessels initiated coverage Friday with a "strong buy," setting a $190 price target.
Brocade Communications Systems Inc. (BRCD) had risen 30-3/4 to 274-3/8. The maker of networking equipment reported fiscal first quarter earnings of 12 cents a share. That beat analyst expectations by 4 cents.
Hoover's Inc. (HOOV) was up 1-19/32 to 10-9/16. David Simons, managing director of Digital Video Investments, told Business Weekthe business information provider may be an acquisition target and is currently priced below its fair value.
In the losing column was Global Crossing Ltd. (GBLX), down 5-3/16 to 55-7/8. The fiber-optic network builder's fourth-quarter loss more than tripled due to high network construction costs.
IXL Enterprises Inc. (IIXL) was off 4-3/8 to 35-5/8. The company was downgraded to "accumulate" from near-term "buy" by Merrill Lynch.
Sycamore Networks Inc. (SCMR) had slumped 7-3/8 to 115-1/8. The maker of fiber-optic network equipment plans to sell an additional 15 million shares to expand marketing efforts.

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has announced that it has filed a civil enforcement action in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, charging Lon Olen Friedrichsen of Alton, Iowa, with fraud and failing to register with the CFTC as a Commodity Trading Advisor, as required. Friedrichsen, as alleged, also solicited clients under the names of Lon Kummer and Lon Richardson, but omitted that these were false names.
The CFTC's Complaint alleges that from at least December 16, 2014 through May 24, 2017, Friedrichsen fraudulently solicited clients in New York, New York and throughout the United States by making false statements in violation of the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA).
Specifically, the Complaint alleges that Friedrichsen solicited clients for his fraudulent scheme via Craigslist ads, telephone, and e-mail. In these solicitations, the CFTC alleges that Friedrichsen made numerous materially false and misleading statements concerning his trading successes, omitted material facts, guaranteed future trading profits, and prepared false trading statements.
Friedrichsen, as alleged, fraudulently induced clients to provide him with access to their personal commodity futures accounts held at Futures Commission Merchants. He then allegedly traded commodity futures in those accounts and advised clients to conceal his involvement in trading their accounts. Additionally, the CFTC alleges that Friedrichsen demanded 50% of any profits he generated and swiftly abandoned his clients after he lost money trading their accounts. According to the Complaint, Friedrichsen fraudulently solicited at least $396,735 from at least twelve clients, lost at least $160,382 of his clients' money, and retained at least $45,369 in fees.
In its continuing litigation, the CFTC seeks restitution to defrauded customers, disgorgement of ill-gotten gains, civil monetary penalties, permanent registration and trading bans, and a permanent injunction against further violations of the CEA, as charged.

From what I know could be a device issue not necessarily connected with Android version. I've seen the same problem on a Chinese iPad clone (Intel inside) under Allview brand running Android 4.4 non-certified by Google. Perhaps your device is too new or ain't tested or in any case is not in Opera's database and so on..

Officials recover Horizon Air flight data recorder, say plane was destroyed beyond recognition
By Amir Vera and Kyung Lah
(CNN) -- The Horizon Air plane that was stolen in Seattle and ultimately crashed over the weekend, killing the employee who stole it, is unrecognizable, according to a National Transportation Safety Board chief.
The plane went through several 100-foot-high lines of trees and was fragmented from the crash into pieces tiny enough to pick up, NTSB Western Pacific Region chief Debra Eckrote said Sunday.
"You couldn't even tell it was a plane except for some of the bigger sections, like the wing section," Eckrote said. "Even the small sections, most of it doesn't resemble a plane."
Richard Russell took off in the stolen plane at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on Friday night, flew for about an hour with military jets chasing him and crashed the 76-seater Horizon Air plane in a wooded island, authorities said.
Russell was the only person aboard, the Pierce County Sheriff's Department said. The Sheriff's Department described Russell as suicidal but did not elaborate.
The NTSB recovered the flight data recorder from the crash site, Eckrote said. The recorder is burned but intact, she said, and will be shipped tomorrow. It is expected to arrive in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, she said. Analysis will begin midweek. It is unknown when the full analysis will be completed.
'A complete shock' to the family
The plane crash has left Russell's family devastated.
In a statement, his family said his "intent was not to harm anyone," referring to audio recordings of Russell talking to air traffic control during the flight.
"This is a complete shock to us," the family said Saturday night. "We are devastated by these events, and Jesus is truly the only one holding this family together right now."
Russell had worked as a Horizon Air ground service agent for 3½ years. His job included directing aircraft for takeoff and gate approach, handling baggage and tidying and de-icing planes.
Russell, or "Beebo" as some called him, was "a faithful husband, a loving son and a good friend," his family said. They also said the 29-year-old was "kind and gentle to each person he met."
Officials don't believe Russell had a pilot's license, and they don't know how he knew to fly the plane. Jeremy Kaelin said he worked with Russell in 2016, and remembered "happy, funny" chats with him in the break room.
"He was a nice guy," Kaelin said. "He was definitely one of the harder working people on the ramps."
Military jets did not bring the plane down
Russell had worked a shift Friday when he took a plane parked in a maintenance area of the Seattle-Tacoma Airport, said Brad Tilden, CEO of Alaska Air Group, which owns Horizon Air.
He used a vehicle known as a pushback tractor to move the empty turboprop plane and took off without authorization at 7:32 p.m. Friday, officials said.
Russell flew for about an hour, talking periodically with air traffic controllers and making turns and even some aerobatic maneuvers as two armed F-15 jets followed him, officials said.
Video from a witness on the ground shows the plane at one point pulling up for a loop, putting the aircraft upside-down and then pulling back up just feet above a body of water.
The plane eventually crashed on sparsely populated Ketron Island, starting a fire in the woods and killing Russell. No one outside the plane was injured, officials said.
The cause of the crash wasn't immediately known but authorities said the F-15s did not bring the plane down.
Security concerns
While the crash only killed Russell, the theft of a commercial airline from a major US airport has exposed a gap in airline security.
The FBI said it does not consider the incident terror-related. Authorities will try to piece together how a security scare of this magnitude occurred at major airport.
Experts said the crash exposed alarming gaps in airport security, and is likely to prompt a major review of industry security measures.
"This is going to be a major learning event for the industry," CNN aviation analyst Justin Green said. "This is a really big deal."
Russell managed to steal the 76-seat Horizon Air turboprop from a maintenance area by himself. He was in uniform, had proper credentials and had clearance to be in secure aircraft areas, said Tilden, the airline CEO.
"They're credential employees. They're there to work on the airplanes. ... This is aviation in America. The doors of the airplanes are not keyed like a car. There is not an ignition key like a car. The setup in aviation in America is we secure the airfield," Tilden said.
Russell appeared to have broken protocol several times. He shouldn't have been able to board the plane alone and go unnoticed. He also moved the plane by himself while protocol calls for two people to tow an aircraft.
"The fact he was out there by himself, towing the aircraft by himself ... then moving the tracker out of the way, so he could get on the aircraft and move. The fact that all of that happened without even being noticed by anyone on the ground service crew, that is just phenomenal to me," said CNN analyst and former FAA safety inspector David Soucie.

Several long running rumors suggest that Sony is preparing itself for a competition with Oculus VR by working on a virtual reality headset for PlayStation 4. The future of gaming seems to be near and virtual reality headset is an example, this device would push the gamers into a whole new world of games. Oculus VR is the first one to make this possible with its virtual reality headset that was announced at this year's E3. Sony is also working on virtual reality headset of its own that is rumored to be announced soon.
Sony Might Be Announcing Its Virtual Reality Headset For PlayStation 4 In CES 2014 In A Keynote Speech From Company's CEO
By now, most gamers already know that Sony would apparently be jumping into future of virtual gaming soon, the company is said to be working on a virtual reality headset that would work with PlayStation 4. The headset would function similar to the Oculus Rift, a head mounted piece of hardware that would literally take the user into a whole new world of games. Oculus Rift has gained a lot of attention in the gaming industry since it was announced at E3 in June 2013. Lately, CVG reported that an unnamed source close to Sony has told the site that "Sony's device will be a categorical rival to Oculus, and for months there have been rumors suggesting the two companies are seeking a partnership."
The company have been experimenting with virtual reality headset and games form quite some years now and sources suggest that Sony has already demonstrated the virtual reality headset with an up coming PlayStation 4 game, Driveclub. Evolution Studios is also said to be working on an ultra-realistic cockpit view in Driveclub. Using Sony's virtual reality headset, the view would completely immerse the player and will provide a real-time feeling of driving a car. Sony's virtual reality headset is apparently being developed for use with PlayStation 4, it would boost up the PlayStation 4 gaming experience.
There have been various rumors about when Sony would publicly announce the virtual reality headset but there have been no official confirmation yet. However, according to various reports, Sony's virtual reality headset would be coming in 2014 and the company is very close to its announcement. These reports have led to rumors and speculations that Sony might be announcing its virtual reality headset during Consumer Electronics Show 2014.
The announcement would possibly come from CES 2014 Tech Titans keynotes, a series of keynotes in which "CEOs form the most powerful companies in technology present their vision for revolutions in products, services and networks." Sony CEO, Kazuo Hirai is also one of the CEOs who will be delivering their keynote addresses at CES 2014.
Apart from Sony's new displays and high-end smartphones, PlayStation 4 is the biggest thing that company can currently talk about. PlayStation 4 release broke company's sales record and people are talking a lot about it. To keep it that way and to support the PlayStation 4 even more, it is likely that the company would talk more about games at next year's CES.
At CES 2014, Hirai would talk about the Sony's sales figures and what role is company playing in pushing new hardware innovations forward, and what is the company's contribution in the biosphere of latest technologies. Many think (and rumors suggest) that this could be a great opportunity for Sony to announce and showcase its new virtual reality headset and claim itself to be the first one to compete with Oculus VR.
Sony is already very familiar with head-mounted displays, the company has already released two head-mounted displays for public. HMZ-T2 is the company's latest personal head-mounted 3D viewer, it features an OLED 720p panel for each eye and 5.1 virtual surround sound. So the virtual reality headset would not be something very new to the company. If Sony is really planning to announce its virtual reality headset, then CES 2014 is the best place to do it, as this is where all the companies would give their keynote addresses about their "vision for revolutions in products, services and networks".
Do you think virtual reality headsets would bring a revolution in gaming industry? Would you like to see Sony's virtual reality headset for PlayStation 4 at CES 2014? Share your thoughts on the matter in the comments below.

Weekends, the perfect time for reading!
This weekend I am going to continue with the book I'm currently reading: Quiet by Susan Cain.
One of my dance teachers actually recommended this book to me because she said it helped her understand herself better. I'm on a self-discovery/self-love journey right now, so this has been very interesting to read. I find myself nodding along to pretty much everything in this book. I definitely identify myself as an introvert, but have never really realized it has been negatively stigmatized until starting this. After reading a few chapters of this it's clear to me that people do see extrovertedness as the "ideal" personality type. I think this is going to continue to be a great read for me!
I'm currently sitting at my public library *go books* and was just in the mood to read a graphic novel, so I went to the lovely graphic novel section and found The Night Things by Ted Naifeh.
The art style looks super cute even thought there are some creepy elements to it. My library has the first four volumes, so if I like the first I'll probably check out the other three! I am just so in the mood to finish a book. It has felt like a HOT MINUTE since I've started and finished something in a short amount of time, so I think I just need a light graphic novel.
Do I have quite a bit of reading homework? Yes. Am I going to do some pleasure reading instead? Yes.
What are your weekend reads for this weekend?

Why Hire Boothe's Heating, Air & Plumbing to Replace Your Sump Pump?
Boothe's Heating, Air & Plumbing is known for providing honest and reliable service across Southern Maryland. You can always trust us to pinpoint the exact problem with your sump pump, and to offer a thorough assessment to determine whether it needs to be repaired or replaced.
You may want to call Boothe's Heating, Air & Plumbing for sump pump replacement if:
- There is a problem with your sump pump's electrical cords: Once we locate your current sump pump—probably in your basement, though it may also be in a mechanical room or crawl space—our plumbers will test both of the plugs running to your electrical outlet. From there, we will determine if the issue is just related to your sump pump cords, or if there is a bigger electrical problem, requiring you to replace the whole unit.
- The pump mechanism appears to be broken: By taking the lid off your sump pump and pouring a small amount of water into it, our plumbing pros can check to see whether your pump is properly removing all water and automatically switching itself off once this job is complete. If it is not, you may need to replace your equipment, as this is the sump pump's main function.
- Your outdoor piping is damaged: Every sump pump has a pipe that travels from the main unit to carry excess water outdoors. Occasionally this piping can become clogged with dirt and debris. While some blockages can be removed, significant back-ups may force you to replace this piping, if not the entire device.

Tips for Soothing a Fussy Baby
Written for www.confessionsofadrmom.com blog on May 7, 2014 by Melissa
Being a newborn can be hard work. Being a parent of a newborn can be even harder. It's exactly like everyone told you it would be, except now you're living it.
It's overwhelming. Exhausting. All Consuming.
But also the most beautiful, amazing, and important moment of your life.
Parenthood certainly changes you.
And just when you feel like you're easing into your new role…the crying begins. And it only seems to be getting worse.
Your beautiful bundle of joy has taken to distressing bouts of crying. She often looks like she's in pain and no matter what you do, the crying continues. Sure, it could be "colic" which is really a non-descript term that, by definition, follows the rule of 3′s: crying for more than 3 hours per day, for at least 3 days per week, and for 3 weeks or longer.
We know all babies go through a phase of increased crying. This crying peaks between 2 weeks of life up until 3 months of age. After which, the crying dramatically improves. Their digestive and nervous systems are still maturing, not yet completely ready to take on all the sights/sounds/tastes that the world has to offer. And some babies are simply more sensitive to these outside stimuli.
Here are some ways to help your little one through this increased crying phase:
Swaddle: Invest in a generous sized/thin swaddling blanket and hone those burrito wrap skills. Most babies dislike the process of swaddling, but once they're snug and secure…they love it. Give it a try. And try again. Have a seasoned mom friend show you the way or ask your pediatrician to show you.
Rock/Walk/Sway. Get moving. Babies love to move. Find your rhythm with your baby. And remember, this is a soothing and gentle process. Never shake your baby.
Non-nutritive sucking. Sucking is soothing for babies. So if you know your baby is full and/or has just been fed; offer a pacifier to help calm him down.
Side or tummy hold. While you should always place your baby on his back to sleep to decrease the risk of SIDS, try holding your baby on his side or tummy and rub his back. Or do the bicycle legs while talking or singing to your baby.
Get outside. A little fresh air and change of scenery does everyone good. I recall vividly how well this worked for my own little one. It was amazing to see that the crying instantly stopped the second we stepped outside.
Warm bath. Every baby is different and some dislike this completely while others love it. Give it a try for your little one and see how she responds during her fussy period.
Quiet or soft/soothing white noise. Some babies just need to be. Turn down the loud ambient household noise and turn on some soothing background white noise (think sound machine or relaxing music) to help your baby feel calm. It might just work for you too.
Take care of yourself, take a break! Crying can weigh on our souls as new parents. No matter how hard we try, we can't help but take the persistent crying personally. It's distressing to us. So, ask for help. Put your baby down in a safe place like a crib or bassinet and take a breather. Take shifts with your partner. Go for a walk and take that overdue shower. A little self care will go a long way in getting through the crying spells of infancy.
Remember, you are a good parent and your baby is a good baby. Crying is not bad. It's a normal development process for our newborns.
And yes, you can be a baby whisperer too.
Always talk to your pediatrician about your baby's crying and bring him in to be checked if you're worried about the crying. Infant reflux, food sensitivities, and other conditions could exacerbate this period of crying.
Medication such as gripe water, "gas drops", and probiotics have not been proven to help but some parents swear by them.
Above all, remember, that this too shall pass. It will.
There is a light at the end of this crying tunnel…and that light is the bright smile that suddenly greets you one fine morning.
The smile that beams pure love.
From your beautiful baby.
And it's all for you.

Do you ever feel like you're getting tired of having to charge all of your devices all throughout the day? I do. As much as I love having a lot of gadgets that I once could only dream of, it comes with a price. No, not the price to purchase them, but the price of time to maintain them.
My room is full of cables of different lengths and varieties. It's easy to lose a cable in the midst of all this and search for the right cable pretty much every day. Most of today's smartphones and computers can't last longer than a day, so every day, all phones and laptops have to be charged up. I work from my desk most of the time, so I don't have to worry much about charging the laptop. It's almost always connected except for when the laptop is turned off.
But it's a completely different story when it comes to smartphones. I have to charge them pretty much continuously. I have an Android and an iPhone, so I have to make sure that they don't run out of charge at the same time. Despite my best efforts, I've run into situations — more often than I'd like to — when I have to go out to run an errand and my phone is nearly dead. I feel like what have I been doing all day?
All of these gadgets do make life a bit faster, but it also comes with TONS of work, and by work, I sure do mean having to charge them regularly. Do you ever feel like having to charge your phone is a work? I guess I'm just lazy if you don't.

The Kaweco Brass Sport may be my last new fountain pen this year as it was the last one on my wanted list. I ordered it from JetPens about the same time as I ordered the Sailor Pro Gear, the day before I think. While JetPens shipped it promptly, the USPS gave it a tour of the US, including leaving the continent to tour Puerto Rico, and returning to the continent for delivery to me, so it didn't arrive until last Thursday.
It was pretty much a foregone conclusion that I'd be getting one as soon as it was available. I considered taking advantage of the exchange rate and ordering from overseas. It would have been about the same cost, even with shipping, but I decided to be patient and wait for it to come to the US. JetPens had it in stock first, at least from what I could see. It was slightly cheaper than I expected, so I probably would have paid a bit more if I ordered from overseas. These metal versions are the same design as the plastic Classic Sport and have the same nibs so the additional cost, four times the cost in some cases, is not insignificant. But I find it nearly impossible to resist raw metal or machined fountain pens.
The brass is significantly heavier than the raw aluminum. According to the JetPens website it's twice as heavy, 1.6 oz. for the brass compared to 0.8 ounces for the raw aluminum. The plastic Classic Sports are 25% the weight, at 0.4 oz. The weight is obvious and since the pen body is so short I'll be posting it for everything except a quick note. This does make the Brass Sport one of the heaviest pens in my hand. I don't post my KarasKustoms ink so even the heaviest of those pens is less than 1.3 oz.
Upon arrival I inked it up with the included blue cartridge. I didn't flush it out first. I was anxious and I'm not a fan of blue ink so flushing it out for a cleaning wouldn't have bothered me. It wrote well. I didn't do a lot of writing with it, maybe a little over a page spread across several sessions. The extra fine nib felt smooth and the flow was good.
This was the third Kaweco Sport I had inked up which was at least one too many. I decided to move the red cartridge from my Black Stonewashed. I didn't flush out the pen fist so I got a blue-red mix for the first few pages. It's still not a pure red yet.
I did some longer writing sessions with this new ink. Such as the drafts for the previous ink & pen notes (Black Stonewash Sport) and this article. I did feel some fatigue after 15 minutes or so. I don't typically use a Kaweco Sport for long writing sessions because the pen isn't the most comfortable for me. It's not what I'd call uncomfortable, but it's not perfect for my hand such as the Pilot Custom 823 or Pelikan M805. Another problem is that it's been slightly humid and I dislike air conditioning so my hand is sweating a bit, which means I have to grip the brass section tighter than usual. The weight may contribute to the fatigue but I do typically prefer more weight in a smaller pen.
In these longer sessions I began to have the vary occasional skip. I took a close look at the nib and the tines are misaligned just a bit. I'll get around to straightening them out since this is a pen I want to keep and will probably have it inked more often than not. But it's not so annoying than it frustrates me. Yet.
There is a converter available, and some other possible options. It's a small converter (not standard) and I decided not to deal with the hassle. I've been sticking to cartridges in all my Kaweco Sports. Any short international cartridge will fit. I also don't bother to refill cartridges either. I have plenty of cartridges to chose from at this point and I pretty much stick with a couple color families in them.
I've only had the pen a few days and it's already begun to develop a patina. Plus, it's shiny so it shows off oils from my hand. The photos were taken right after using the pen without bothering to wipe it down. So if a little grime bothers you this isn't the pen for you.
The Desk of Lori has real review of this pen which includes many more photos and writing samples (for a fine nib).
My first impression of the Kaweco Brass Sport is positive and I don't regret the purchase. I will need to smooth the nib which is a bummer for a pen of this price. My nib wasn't as bad as Lori's and it's useable. I would have hoped (but know better) that the increased cost wasn't just because of the material.

Road rally draws attention to missing Morenci boys
DETROIT (AP) — Several General Motors employees taking part in a popular road rally competition plan to post photos across the South of three young Michigan brothers missing since Thanksgiving.
Two teams from the Detroit-based automaker expect to hand out fliers of Andrew, Alexander and Tanner Skelton in about 15 cities over the next eight days during the Fireball Run Adventurally, according to WJBK-TV.
The boys were 9, 7 and 5 at the time of their disappearance from their father's home in Morenci, about 70 miles southwest of Detroit. Police have said they do not believe the father's claim that he gave the boys to an organization and are treating the case as a homicide investigation.
That's not deterring the GM team.
"We haven't given up hope," said Ace Lipka, a member of one of the teams. "We really want to make sure we get the word out on the three brothers."
Participants in the Fireball Run, which started Saturday in Florida, organized the Race to Recover America's Missing Children Foundation to remember all missing children.
Teams are assigned a missing child or children from their home regions, along with posters to distribute along the route, which will take them more than 2,500 miles through several Southern states.
A variety of vehicles will be driven in the competition, including some from popular movies and television shows. Teams have to solve clues and participate in motorsport challenges.
"We'll basically play a game in a competition between about 50 teams, and when we get to each city, we are going to post a ton of fliers for all these missing children," GM team member Abby O'Neill said.
The boys' father, John Skelton, was sentenced earlier this month to up to 15 years in prison after pleading no contest to unlawful imprisonment.
Skelton hasn't been charged with murder, but police said early on they suspected he killed his children. Authorities still are pursuing murder charges.
Skelton maintains he gave his sons to the unidentified group to protect them from their mother.
The couple had been going through a contentious divorce. The boys' mother, Tanya Zuvers, had exclusive custody of them but agreed to let them visit their father for Thanksgiving if he returned them the next day.

Enjoy living in the Now with this professionally-recorded hypnosis MP3 download from Hypnotic World.
In this day and age, living in the now is almost impossible. No sooner are you finished with one task, than you are moving on to the next.
Suddenly, you realize weeks have gone by since you last took time to count your blessings and appreciate all that life has given you. If this sounds like something you have been struggling with, than the use of this hypnosis MP3 download can help to slow your out-of-control personal time clock.
Perhaps you have heard the phrase "living in the moment." Maybe it seems to make sense until you really stop to think about it. Do you believe you practice living in the now? Do you think it would do you some good to slow down and relax? If so then you are not alone.
The first step in climbing off the merry-go-round of life is to stop and focus.
This hypnosis MP3 recording will allow you the opportunity to stop, be still, and focus on the speed and numbness with which you were moving.
This can serve as a subtle wake-up call.
It is likely that your subconscious does not want to think three steps ahead. It needs time to relax and focus, and regain perspective. You will find when you satisfy this desire, your outlook and attitude will move in a positive direction.
The self-awareness that everyone has is becoming more and more rare, but is a valuable quality to develop on the path to living a happy life.
If you are more self-aware, you will take things less personally, you will understand why you feel the way you do about occurrences, and you will gain control of your emotions in a way that enables you to live more comfortably.
If you are constantly on the go, and things seem to never slow down, you will not have time to develop this self-awareness. It probably is not hard to imagine the regrets you may find yourself with one day if you do not take time to learn to live in the now.
You will be amazed at how dedicating yourself to living in the now will change your attitude and your outlook on life.
You will begin to notice physical and emotional changes, and you will develop a reverence for living that you may not have had before.
This hypnosis MP3 is a fantastic starting point for living in the now.

Shifting sand dunes spotted on Mars
For the first time, scientists have discovered shifting sand dunes and ripples all over Mars, a finding which suggests strong winds keep the sandy surface of the Red planet much more active than ever imagined.
For the first time, scientists have discovered shifting sand dunes and ripples all over Mars, a finding which suggests strong winds keep the sandy surface of the Red planet much more active than ever imagined.
Images captured by NASA spacecraft Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter showed that wind-blown sand dunes moving across the Martian surface, sometimes up to several yards at a time, the scientists said.
"Mars either has more gusts of wind than we knew about before, or the winds are capable of transporting more sand," lead researcher Nathan Bridges, a planetary scientist at the Applied Physics Laboratory of Johns Hopkins University in the US, said.
"We used to think of the sand on Mars as relatively immobile, so these new observations are changing our whole perspective," Bridges was quoted as saying by SPACE.com.Scientists have long known that the red dust on Mars can swirl and blow about in many ways, ranging from vast dust storms to small whirlwinds, called dust devils. But less than 10 years ago, astronomers still thought the Martian dunes and sand ripples were either immobile or moved too minutely to ever see.
According to the scientists, who detailed their findings in the journal Geology, the dark sand grains of Mars are harder to move than those of Earth's deserts and beaches because they are larger, and because the Martian atmosphere is thinner than Earth's.
Wind tunnel tests have shown that 130 kmph gusts are required on Mars to move a single a patch of sand, while on Earth, the winds about 16 kmph can achieve the same feat.
But such high wind speeds on Mars are relatively rare, according to observations from NASA's Viking landers collected in the 1970s and 1980s.
The first clues of the Red Planet's moving sand dunes came from NASA's Mars Global Surveyor. More evidence was found by NASA's Mars Exploration Rovers which detected shifting sand when they touched down on the surface of Mars in 2004.

The trigeminal nerve runs from the skull and then branches into three divisions, supplying feeling to the forehead, the cheek and the lower jaw. Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a disorder of this nerve that causes shooting pain to one side of the face in one or any combination of these three areas.
One of the most common causes of facial pain, trigeminal neuralgia usually comes on suddenly with brief, severe, stabbing pain on one side of the face that typically subsides after several seconds or a couple minutes but can recur hours or even weeks later. Some patients experience an aching or a tingling sensation prior to the pain attack. The pain attacks can occur on both sides of the face but not at the same time, and they typically worsen over time, occurring more frequently.
Inflammation, virus, blood vessels outside the brain pressing on the nerve, multiple sclerosis.
Your physician may order an MRI scan of the brain to assist with diagnosis. We will work with you to create a treatment plan to meet your specific needs. Possible treatments include medication, injection, peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) and spinal cord stimulation (SCS).

TUESDAY, 12:07pm: The moves are official, the Raptors announced via press release.
"We thank Anthony for his professionalism and for his service to our team and community," Ujiri said. "We know he's on his way to becoming an excellent NBA player but as we approach the end of the season Jason will provide us with a veteran presence that we need."
MONDAY, 1:39pm: The Raptors are waiving Anthony Bennett to clear the way for a deal with Jason Thompson that covers the rest of the season, reports Shams Charania of The Vertical on Yahoo Sports (Twitter link). The addition of Thompson helps fill a need at power forward for Toronto, but it's nonetheless surprising to see the Raptors cut ties with Bennett, the former No. 1 overall pick whom GM Masai Ujiri had suggested would be with the team beyond this season in spite of his one-year contract. Bennett is on a minimum-salary deal, and the same will be true for Thompson, since that's all Toronto can give. The full season salary for Bennett will stick on Toronto's books unless another team claims him off waivers.
Thompson was also reportedly drawing the eye of the Heat in the wake of his release from the Warriors last week, a cut that came so that Golden State could sign Anderson Varejao. The Raptors reportedly had interest in trading for a handful of power forwards, including Ryan Anderson, Thaddeus Young, Kenneth Faried and Markieff Morris, but instead it appears they end up with Thompson, who started 63 games for the Kings last season but averaged just 6.4 minutes per contest with the Warriors.
Bennett, the NBA's top pick in 2013, is hitting waivers for the second time in barely more than five months, after he and the Timberwolves reached a buyout agreement in late September. The Sixers and Blazers reportedly had interest at the time, but he wound up signing with the Raptors, his hometown team. The 22-year-old's defense initially impressed coach Dwane Casey, but Bennett failed to convince Casey that he deserved more playing time, totaling just 84 minutes all season.
Who do you think is the bigger bust, Bennett or fellow former No. 1 pick Greg Oden? Leave a comment to have your say.

Forgotten Treasures
All successful publishers eventually run into the same problem: they amass a lot of amazing content that their growing body of readers never think to read.
Different types of publishers have different versions of this problem.
A quarterly publication may have archived a decade's worth of back issues that new readers overlook. A news source, on the other hand, may simply have published so many articles in a week that browsers either overlook some or get overwhelmed and give up.
Fortunately, this problem has an easy solution: special editions.
Depths For the Scholars, Highlights For Skimmers
Take, for example, the web-based news source iPolitics. A prolific publisher of Canadian political news, iPolitics could easily swamp the casual reader.
That's why they publish The Weekender. The Weekender is a weekly round-up of the top headlines. New editions go live on Friday and a simplebanner at the top of the homepage directs readers to it until Sunday.
All back editions are available on a dedicated page. Easy to find and easy to read, The Weekender is a great feature that expands the pool of potential readers to include those who just want the highlights.
Special Doesn't Mean Difficult
The best part about The Weekender is that it's incredibly easy to create. The iPolitics site was built with IssueM, which means that putting together a special edition is as simple as clicking on the desired articles. Check the right boxes in the back-end and voila! The Weekender is born:
In fact, iPolitics isn't the only publication that takes advantage of this feature. The Practice is a periodical publication of Harvard's Center on the Legal Profession. They publish a volume a year, with several issues per volume.
And whenever they publish a new issue, they also feature an archived issue, reviving content that new readers may have missed with the click of a button.
Special editions make it easy to show readers the depth of your publication's value. And IssueM makes it easy to publish special editions.
A simple solution to a pervasive problem.
Want to see how IssueM can make your editions special? Let's talk.


text: Data Availability StatementAll data generated or analyzed in this study are included in this published article. of miR-143 knockdown within the osteogenic differentiation of hADSCs were partly diminished from the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MEK) inhibitors U0126 and PD98059. Bioinformatics analysis further exposed that miR-143 focuses on k-Ras and directly binds to the 3-untranslated region of its mRNA. Inhibition of miR-143 enhanced the activation of the k-Ras/MEK/ERK pathway during osteogenic differentiation, whereas miR-143 overexpression experienced the opposite effect. Collectively, these results shown that miR-143 regulates the osteogenic differentiation of hADSCs through the k-Ras/MEK/ERK pathway negatively, providing additional insight in to the root molecular mechanisms. and also have been utilized as seed cells to correct bone tissue problems (4 Propyzamide efficiently,5). Nevertheless, the molecular systems regulating the osteogenic differentiation of hADSCs aren't fully elucidated, and looking into the systems is of great importance as a result. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are little (18-25 nucleotides long), single-stranded noncoding RNAs that mediate gene suppression by binding towards the 3-untranslated area (3UTR) of focus on mRNAs by advertising degradation or inhibiting the translation of focus on mRNAs (6,7). Lately, several studies possess exposed that miRNAs serve essential tasks in the rules of MSC osteogenic differentiation. For example, miR-145 was reduced during osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 and C2C12 cells, and could suppress their osteogenic differentiation potential by focusing on Sp7 (8). Wang (9) additional exposed that miR-193a offered a suppressive part in the osteogenic differentiation of human being bone tissue marrow-derived stromal cells (hBMSCs) via focusing on high flexibility group package 1 (HMGB1). Furthermore, Li possess indicated that miR-23a Rabbit Polyclonal to ACTR3 suppressed the osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs by probably focusing on low-density lipoprotein receptor-related proteins 5 (10). Nevertheless, the tasks of miRNAs in regulating the osteogenic differentiation of hADSCs stay largely unfamiliar. Osteogenic differentiation can be a complex procedure governed from the interplay of multiple signaling pathways, such as for example bone tissue morphogenetic proteins (11), Wnt (12) and mitogen-activated proteins kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways (13,14). These pathways tend to be constitutively triggered during osteogenic differentiation of MSCs. It has been reported that MAPK signaling components, including extracellular-signal regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), strongly increased the expression of Runt-related transcription factor-2 (Runx2) protein, which is one of several key transcriptional factors in osteogenesis (15). Furthermore, several studies revealed that the ERK signaling pathway Propyzamide is closely associated with the osteogenic differentiation of rat and human MSCs (16,17). For example, Ye (18) demonstrated that knockdown of forkhead box protein A2 enhanced the Propyzamide osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs partly via activation of the ERK signaling pathway. Wang (19) further reported that naringin, a traditional Chinese medicine, enhanced the BMSC osteogenic differentiation through the activation of ERK signaling. Each of these studies has led us to speculate that ERK signaling may serve an important role in the differentiation of hADSCs into an osteogenic lineage. In the present study, the expression profiles of miRNAs during osteogenic differentiation of hADSCs were analyzed using miRNA microarray, and revealed that Propyzamide miR-143 was significantly downregulated in this process. The study then investigated the underlying mechanisms involved in the regulatory role of miR-143 on hADSC osteogenic differentiation in order to identify a potential molecular therapeutic strategy for bone regeneration. Materials and methods Cell culture All protocols involving human subjects were approved by the Ethics Committee of Minhang Hospital, Fudan University (Shanghai, China). Adipose tissue specimens were obtained from five healthy donors undergoing tumescence liposuction (age range, 32-53 years; median age, 41 years; 2 males and 3 females) who underwent surgery at Minhang Hospital, Fudan University between April 2017 and April 2018. Clinical and biochemical examinations confirmed that these subjects did not have acute inflammation, cancer, endocrine diseases or infectious diseases. The inclusion criteria were as follows: i) Patients who were willing to participate in the study; and ii) clinical and biochemical examinations confirmed that these topics did not possess acute inflammation, tumor, endocrine illnesses or infectious illnesses. Individuals who have received chemotherapy to the analysis were excluded from today's research prior. Written educated consent for participation in the scholarly research was from all patients. The hADSCs had been isolated through the adipose tissues relating to a previously referred to method (20). Pursuing isolation, hADSCs had been cultured in basal MSC tradition medium (bM), including Dulbecco's revised Eagle moderate (DMEM), 10% fetal leg serum, 1% antibiotics (100 U/ml penicillin and 100 mg/ml streptomycin; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) and 1% L-glutamine (200 mM; Lonza) at 37C with 5% CO2. Adipogenic, chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation For adipogenic differentiation, hADSCs (3105 cells/well) had been seeded into 6-well tradition plates and cultured for 21 times with.

Boy I sure wish it only took a few minutes to install a toilet like in this video. This video, Lowe's goes through the steps on removing an old toilet and installing a new one. Another very helpful tool for the do it yourselfer. It is very thorough and makes it look and sound very easy. There is a lot involved so make sure you follow the steps and take any precautionary measures like turning off the water supple. Otherwise, you'll have a huge mess on your hands.
So, it's time to replace your toilet. I know, it's probably not your favorite job, but it's easier than you think.
To start, most new toilets come in standard sizes that are easily swapped out. But if you're in an older home it's a good idea to check first. Just measure the distance between the closet bolts and the wall, not the trim, the wall to make sure it will fit. For tight spaces, measure it at the side wall. Take these measurements to Lowe's to get a toilet that fits your bathroom.
Once you have your new toilet you can pull the old one. We've been remodeling this bathroom. We took out our old toilet before we removed the old tile. Here's what to do. Turn off the water supply. Then flush and hold the handle to drain the water from the tank. The little bit of water left in the bowl can be removed with a plastic cup or a sponge. Next, disconnect the water supply from the tank, and remove the nuts from the closet bolts. Now the old toilet is ready to come out. You can set it in a garbage bag before you take it away.
With the toilet gone, place a rag in the drain to block sewer gases. Then use a putty knife to clean off the old wax ring. If the closet flange is rusted, replace it.
Okay, now it's time to install the new toilet. Insert new closet bolts in the flange if you haven't already. To prep the bowl, gently set it upside down on a cloth and lightly press a new wax ring over the outlet. Ready for installation. Now you can remove the rag. Line up the toilet with the bolts and lower it. Press down around the toilet to seal it against the drain. Make sure it's square to the wall. Place the cap base, washers, and nuts on the closet bolts. Tighten them, but not too tight. You might crack the toilet. Alternate between each side as you go. If the closet bolts are too long for the caps, carefully cut them with a hack saw then put on the caps.
Bowl's in. Now with 2 piece toilets, the tank goes on in almost no time at all. Most new toilets have the flush assembly and handle installed, but if yours doesn't, now's the time to do it. Then install the bolts and the rubber gasket, set the tank in place, and secure it with the nuts. Just hand tighten them for now. Check that it's level, then tighten the nuts just enough to make a water-tight seal.
We're in the home stretch. Connect the water supply and slowly turn on the water. Check for leaks around the supply lines and gasket. Make adjustments if you need to, then attach the seat. Flush the toilet a few times and look for leaks around the base. Seal around the base with latex caulk. Set the top on the tank and you're done. That wasn't so bad.
We've still got some work to do in this bathroom so be sure to check out the rest of our remodeling videos at Lowes.com/howto.

On this SeaFair Sunday here in Seattle, it is in the 80's (as it has been all week) and it's time for the next interview from the vaults.
Anneke van Giersbergen is one of my favorite vocalists period. Not favorite female vocalist. Not favorite rock vocalist. Favorite period. The interview below was brief but conducted in 2012 (March to be exact).
As always, everything was left in tact. Anneke is touring for her latest release, "Drive" right now (hence the title of this interview).
She is also partaking in the "Sirens" tour with Liv Kristine and Kari Rueslatten!
I have been a music junkie since I was a little kid. From the age of nine, seeing KISS for the first time in 1979, it was all down hill after that concert. From the ups and downs that life throws at you, music has always been there for me.
One of my all time favorite vocalists, Ms. Anneke van Giersbergen, is one of those artists that I put on a pedestal. The music she created with her former band, The Gathering, helped me through some confusing and difficult times in my past. The power and beauty of her voice just transported me to a different place in my mind during my struggles. It was a release of the most needed kind at the time. For that, I am forever grateful.
I was fortunate to see her with The Gathering here in Seattle, WA (the only time they ever played Seattle) before she left to pursue her own career and spend more time with her family. Anneke has been creating amazing music on her own since 2007 with her solo work and collaborations with other talented musicians and projects.
It is truly my pleasure to present Ms. Anneke van Giersbergen here in Eclectic Arts. I can't believe I get to write that! ^_^
EA: Greetings Anneke! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this interview. I can't express just how much this means to me. I've been a fan since 1997. I know you are out supporting your newest album, "Everything Is Changing". How are the shows going? How does it feel to be back out on the road?
AvG: Thank you Mark! I've just completed a 15-date Dutch club tour and it was fantastic. Venues were packed and I'm very proud of my new live band. We have a lot of fun and luckily we are able to transmit that to our audience. I'm glad to be back on the road again. We'll do a big EU-tour in May and since my son is now old enough to go on the road with us, there's hardly any reason wanting to go home again.
EA: I was just listening to "Everything Is Changing" again this afternoon. It is such a solid album. Usually there is at least one song or two that I find with any release that don't quite measure up. Not so with "Everything Is Changing". From beginning to end, the album makes such a strong statement. How do you feel about the album now that it's been out for a few months? What was the writing/recording process like for the album?
AvG: I'm very happy with it. Of course I'm glad it's doing so well, it got to #11 in the mainstream charts in The Netherlands - which is higher than I've ever been in my career – but way more importantly it ended up sounding the way I hoped it would do. After working with Devin Townsend a couple of times in recent years I realized I wanted to do a multi-layered album with lots of energy. I knew I wouldn't be able to transfer my own ideas into arrangements myself without the help of a multi-instrumentalist, so I'm very glad I found Portuguese producer Daniel Cardoso who helped me writing and recording the album. I have my own studio, which is where we recorded most of the drums and vocals and I went to Portugal to work in Daniel's studio.
EA: "Everything Is Changing" has a polished sound without sacrificing the emotional nature of your music. Some of the songs are more pop oriented, while others are still very introspective. Was this intentional? What lyrical topics did you cover on the new record?
AvG: I've tried to combine all styles that I like to listen to myself into one album. I like heavy music, but also emotional stuff and I like to dance as well, if you know what I mean. I love Madonna just as much as A Perfect Circle and somehow I think that we've been able to let that resonate throughout the songs. Most of the times I don't consider myself as a story-telling lyricist. I write about myself most of the time and my own feelings. I wrote 'My Boy' for my son and for instance 'Circles' deals with the fact that some people can maintain their rock-steady characters when tragedy strucks.
EA: How have you managed to strike the balance between your music career and your personal life (family, etc)? I know your husband performs with you, which obviously helps, but still it must be difficult. Does your son travel with you as well? You're a very busy woman!
AvG: It's hard and it takes a lot of planning, that's for sure! First of all I moved to the countryside to be able to build a recording studio and to be able to store our stage equipment at home. That enables us to work at home most of the time. I quite doing long tours. It's 2 weeks max unless I can take my son with me like the upcoming EU-tour. I take my son with me as many times as possible, but of course he has to go to school, so we have this really complicated schedule with nanny's and so on.
EA: Back in 2007, I was fortunate enough to see you perform with your old band The Gathering here in Seattle, WA at a little club. Within Temptation were also on the bill that night that you've performed with (the "Somewhere" duet with Sharon is awesome by the way). When you look back at those US shows, playing clubs and such, what stands out for you? Did you enjoy the shows? What are some of the differences between touring in the US and abroad?
AvG: Well, touring the US for a niche-band is hard. Physical distances are big and transatlantic flights for band and crew are expensive. That's the only reason I haven't been able to return to the US as a solo artist. I have a small but strong fan base in the US, so I hope I can return in the near future and do a string of acoustic solo shows in small clubs or something. I think that would be awesome!
EA: It's been five years now that you've been a solo artist. When you look back on your years with The Gathering, what comes to mind? What memories stand out (good or bad)?
AvG: To be honest I'm not a person that looks back a lot, I don't particularly enjoy watching YouTube videos with old footage or something like that. I'm all about looking forward and even more importantly the present day. However I have great memories from my time with The Gathering. Those boys are still very dear to me.
EA: I've been a musician myself for quite a number of years (guitar being my main instrument). I took vocal lessons for a bit, too. What advice would you give someone who is looking to be a vocalist? Is it true you do vocal coaching when you have the time? I could use a lot of help with my voice haha
AvG: The advice I would give to anybody is be yourself and look for your own voice. There's a lot of vocal talent, you only have to watch a couple of all those talent shows to notice that, but I hear a lot of people sing like the people that they are inspired with. I love Ella Fitzgerald, but it never occurred to me to copy her phrasing and stuff.
I worked as a vocal coach at the Amsterdam Conservatory for 1.5 years, but I had to quit because it was too time consuming and I couldn't combine it with my busy schedule anymore. I loved doing it though!
EA: What goals do you have for the future? Do you see yourself making music for many years to come or are you just taking it one day at a time? Are there other things you want to try outside of music? What else is coming up that the fans can look forward to?
AvG: I never have a long term plan, but I am a musician and there's not a whole lot I would like to do that's not music-related. I would like to record another album soon and I would like it to sound more or less like my last album, but even better of course!!
I'm also involved with a children's theatre play at the moment. I co-wrote the music and I'm performing in it, so I get to do a little bit of acting, which is very fun to do.
EA: Anneke thank you again for taking the time to do the interview today. I truly appreciate it! Take good care.
Thanks Mark, good luck with your magazine and hope to see you in the US one day!
With love,

SAN JOSE – It didn't take long for Tomas Hertl to make an impression in his first game action since the middle of December.
Just a minute and a half into the first period on Friday vs. Colorado, the 20-year-old rookie showed a burst of speed while bringing the puck into the offensive zone. He unleashed a slap shot from the circle that very well may have been destined for the far top corner before it was snagged by Avalanche goalie Reto Berra.
[RELATED: Instant Replay: Havlat, Sharks bury Avalanche 5-1]
"His very first shift he comes down and takes a shot on goal. That had to make him feel good," said Todd McLellan, after the 5-1 Sharks win at SAP Center. "You couldn't draw it up any better than that. He's involved in a scoring chance right off the bat. I'm sure when he came back to the bench he felt confident, and like he belonged again."
Joe Thornton said: "He looked good. He's missed so much time, I'm sure his timing was off a little bit, but he looked strong. He had a great start of the game. I thought he was going to score off of that first slapper."
That was one of just two recorded shots on the night for Hertl in exactly 15 minutes of ice time, but the rookie nearly found the net again in the third period after aggressively cutting to the slot and ringing a shot off of the goal post. Other moments of note include a wraparound attempt that almost deflected in off of Tommy Wingels with seven minutes left in the first period, and a takeaway of the puck from Gabriel Landeskog in the second, just before he set up Justin Braun for a point blast midway through regulation.
[RELATED: Hannan hurt in Sharks game vs. Colorado]
Hertl will play again on Saturday night in Phoenix in the final tune-up before the playoffs start at home next week against Los Angeles. He was asked how he felt after the final home game of the regular season and the club's annual Fan Appreciation Night.
"Not good. … It's a long time, a little bit tired," Hertl said. "I am happy [that] today we [won], and because it's [the] last game of regular season here for fans, it's a nice day."
He indicated he was pleased to get some good looks, but that scoring is not a priority in his case at this point, as the Sharks are already locked into playoff position.
Still, he offered up another potential t-shirt worthy quote for any sports fan in the Bay Area.
"Playoff time it's more important, because it's LA. I not much like LA this season," said Hertl, whose season was derailed by a knee-on-knee hit from the Kings' Dustin Brown on Dec. 19.
McLellan will continue to keep a close eye on one of the future cornerstones of the franchise, of course. Hertl, who had 15 goals in his first 35 games before tearing the MCL and PCL ligaments in his right knee, skated on a line with Wingels and James Sheppard at even strength, and saw some time on the second power play unit, as well.
"Tomas was actually a little bit better than I thought he might be," McLellan said. "The real test will be tomorrow back-to-back, and how he feels in the morning. He made some good plays along the boards. I thought he settled in."
